Eagles nest on Sharbot Lake By Jeff Green he nest on an small island on Sharbot Lake, which had reportedly been used in the past by Ospreys, has been a good spot for this bald eagle, judging by the size of the young, who should be flying within weeks, or even days. Bald Eagles, which had been almost wiped out in Southern Ontario by 1980, have made a comeback. They are still more common in northwestern Ontario, but nests have been identified on lakes in Frontenac, Lanark, and Leeds and Grenville in recent years. Bald Eagles are designated as a Species at Risk by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), but their designation on that list is as a “Species of Special Concern” which is defined by the ministry in the following way: “Lives in the wild in Ontario, is not endangered or threatened, but may become threatened or endangered due to a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats.” The MNR has four categories of Species at Risk: Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern. Bald Eagles were listed as Endangered in Southern Ontario in 1980 and have seen steady improvement. Still, active nests are not common sightings, judging by the number of nests reported in the latest Southern Ontario Bald Eagle Monitoring Program report by Bird Studies Canada in the spring of 2012. That report identified 57 active nest sites in Southern
T
Ontario, the bulk of which are in the vicinity of Lake Erie. Of those, 41 were successful, and 67 chicks survived at least to the fledgling stage (the point when they were able to fly and leave the nest). That study identified only three nests in Frontenac County, on Bobs, Wolfe and Kashwakamak Lakes, and one in Lanark County, on Christie Lake. The Bobs Lake nest was the only successful one, bringing two chicks to the fledgling stage. There were very likely more successful nests in the two counties in 2011, based on the regular sightings of Bald Eagles each year, but they were either in more obscure locations or they were not reported to Bird Studies Canada. Marcus Saunders, from Clarendon, an avid bird watcher who did the research in Northern Frontenac and Lanark Counties for the most recent Bird Studies Canada Atlas of Birds of Canada, said that he sees Bald Eagles locally “just about every month of the year.” He said he was aware of a nesting pair on Crotch Lake a number of years ago, and he thinks there may be nests on or near other lakes. Bud Andress spent 20 years working on the restoration of Bald Eagles in the Thousand Islands region, which included building eagle nesting platforms. He also was part of a team that attached a radio transmitter to six fledgling birds, three of which survived. “The three birds travelled a spectacular distance. They went as far as James Bay,
Labrador, West Virginia and Washington, DC..” The travel patterns of adult Bald Eagles are not well known, Andress said. There are a number of birds that over-winter in the Thousand Islands region, where their largest food source is white-tailed deer. Unlike Osprey, which survive almost exclusively on fish that they kill themselves, Bald Eagles are opportunistic feeders, happy to steal fish from Osprey or scavenge for food in any way they can.
Kids of Steel Triathlon at Oso beach
Winners in the female ages 14-15 category, l-r Ella Kuvas of Milton (3rd), Erika Rankin of Pontypool (1st) and Sara Borrens of Ottawa (2nd)
O
ver 130 youngsters aged 3-15 participated in this year’s Kids of Steel (KOS) Triathlon event, which took place on July 27 in Sharbot Lake. The race was hosted by the Bytown Storm Triathlon Club and attracted racers and their families from all over Ontario some from as far away as Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston, Milton, Peterborough, Windsor, Cornwall, Pembroke and Petawawa. The KOS is one of the five qualifying races for Triathlon Ontario’s Youth Cup point se-
ries. The event included numerous races, all triathlon events and each with swim, bike and running portions of varying lengths depending on the age group. The shortest event, for participants aged 6 and 7, included a 100 metre swim, 5 km bike ride and 1 km run, and the longest event, which was for racers aged 14 and 15, included a 400 metre swim, 10 km ride, and a 4 km run. New this year was a draft legal event, one of just three events offered in Ontario for par-

ticipants aged 14 and 15. Greg Kealey of Bytown Storm Triathlon and the event’s race director said Sharbot Lake offers up the “perfect” venue. “Not only is there clean water and a great beach-front park and plenty of parking but it’s a very condensed course allowing racers to loop around numerous times, which gives parents and onlookers a great chance to watch the kids race. ” Historically, the event is one of the oldest races for kids in Canada. It was originally founded over 30 years ago by Sharbot Lake residents Rudy and Joan Hollywood and Joan was the head official at the race again this year. The event and venue is also a historic one for triathletes of all ages for another reason - famed Canadian triathlete Simon Whitfield, who won Olympic gold in the inaugural Olympic triathlon event in 2000, raced and won some of the earliest races here. Whitfield has been immortalized with a bronze plaque in his honor at Oso Beach Park. Fifteen-year-old Liam Donnelly of Campbellville, Ontario who placed first in his event, said he enjoyed the course and he recalled the exact moment in the race where he was able to move into the first place position. “I was in second place out of the first transition
and caught Kyle (who placed second) and attacked at that point not wanting Kyle to draft off me.” Donnelly paid homage to Whitfield, who he said is one of his heroes. He had a chance to meet the famed triathlete when Whitfield was racing in Toronto a few years ago. “I ran right beside him for the last 600 metres of his race and we talked afterwards... He is such a nice guy and definitely is the inspiration for the majority of Canadian triathletes. He even gave me a shout out on Twitter,” Donnelly recalled. Donnelly will be taking part in the third provincial race in the series in August and said he feels “totally ready for it.” In the female ages 14 - 15 event, Erika Rankin, who also won here last year, surprised herself by taking first place again. Rankin also plays soccer and was not able to train much prior to the KOS due to numerous injuries. She said she was thrilled with her win. Unfortunately she will not be able to qualify for the cup since she missed the earlier races in the series. Racers looking to win the Triathlon Ontario Provincial Youth Cup have to compete in at least four of the five qualifying provincial races and their top four scores will determine tthe winner

“What we don’t know,” said Andress, “is if the nesting pairs we see in the summer stay here in the winter or travel elsewhere, and we don’t know if the pairs stay together all year or just meet up in the breeding grounds in the spring.” Bald Eagles do nest in the same location year after year, not necessarily in the same nest but in the same vicinity. One male in the Thousand Islands area where Andress lives has had 37 chicks since 1999, likely with two different mates.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS
New Subway restaurant opens on Hwy.7 I
n May of last year, Anne Howes sold the Rising Bun Bakery to Rachel Hosseini, a construction project manager from Richmond Hill who wanted to move to Sharbot Lake and start up a Subway franchise. “It took several months to formalize the franchise and do the Subway training, and then there was a delay as the renovations to the building to fit the Subway model took more time. As well, the winter was pretty hard for construction this year,” said Hosseini, who ended up opening the store just over a week ago, on Wednesday, July 23. The customers were waiting, and the Subway restaurant, which is the first and only fast food restaurant anywhere in Frontenac County, has been busy most of the time since it opened. The staff of 10 have been putting in long hours over the last week, none more than Hosseini herself, who has been working alongside her employees pretty much from open until close every day. “It has been a challenge for all of us to deal with all of the work since you only learn so much through training, but everyone has done well. I’m ready to leave them on their own,

but it is hard since I am a bit of a workaholic,” she said. Subway has over 28,000 stores in Canada and the US and over 42,000 stores worldwide, so the brand is drawing some of the crowds into the store from Highway 7. “I think having the store here will be good for the two other restaurants that are here,” she said, “because not everyone wants a Subway sandwich; people also want fries and burgers and pizza. The other businesses in the area have been welcoming, she said. The closest neighbouring food business, Jossy, even brought flowers to her on opening day.

Blue Skies Arts Camp 2014 by Julie Druker
Campers and staff at this year’s Blue Skies Arts Camp joined forces for an end of the week show highlighting the activities they took part in during their five-day camp experience. The camp is run by Blue Skies In The Community and is an annual day camp located in Clarendon. Over 50 campers between the ages 7 and 13 attended it this year. Friends and families filled the area in front of the camp’s main stage for the Children performing at the Friday Showcase of the Blue Skies camp show, which was emceed by the always by it, to say the least. The show included dance, songs, a entertaining Teilhard Frost, a professional musician and this fashion show, a play and more. The camp activities were year’s camp band instructor. The choir section featured a headed up by a number of talented local artists including Isisong called “Benjy met the Bear” an rather gruesome tale of dora Spielmann, Teilhard Frost, Rachael McDonald, Bridget a young boy’s misadventure, which went as follows: “Benjy Way-Brackenbury, and Josh Lyon and Corky Peppley leadmet the bear, the bear met Benjy, the bear was bulging, the ing workshops in costume making, choir and band, drama, bulge was Benjy!” The children were thoroughly entertained dance, and multi-media arts. The show wrapped up what camp director, Susan Walker, called another “fun and enjoyable camp season” at Blue Skies.

New name, new direction for Children’s Aid Society
by Jeff Green
A
SINCE 1970
change has taken place in the way Family and Children’s of Frontenac Lennox and Addington (FACSFLA) does business. The new agency was formed when the Children’s Aid Society of Kingston and Frontenac amalgamated with that of Lennox and Addington in the spring of 2012. The new agency needed a new name and it also took on the challenge of rethinking how it carries out its mission of protecting children in the region. It also was faced with funding cuts of 2% per year over 5 years. The funding cut also came with some other, positive changes that enabled the new agency to provide more services to children who remain living with their own families. Steve Woodman came on as executive director to head the new agency in June of 2012. His background is in finances which is unusual for the head of a Social Services Agency, and he describes himself as an accountant with the heart of a social worker. He was working in Corporate Services for the Children's Aide's Provincial body in Toronto beforecoming to Kingston.. He said this week that dramatic changes in the way the agency operates have enabled it to meet the funding constraints while at the same time improving the service that it delivers. “What we have done is put an enormously expanded focus on two things: family preservation and permanency for children in our care. The new funding model frees us up to provide more programs, counselling

services and more, to children and families. Before, we could only provide these services once children were within our care. We have been able to cut the number of children in care by 20% in two years. Nine out of 10 children we work with remain with their own families. Most of the families we work with are facing some kind of crisis and by helping them get through the crisis in most cases they are able to carry on and provide the best environment for their children to thrive in,” he said. In terms of raw numbers, Woodman said that there are currently 352 children in the care of FACSFLA, which is down from 440 a couple of years ago. At an estimated cost of $50,000 per child, per year in care, it is not hard to see where the money is coming from to increase supports for children and families. On the other side of the coin, Woodman said that the agency is committed to what he calls “permanency” for children. This is accomplished through re-unification with birth families where possible, then through placement with extended family members, and if neither of those options are possible, through adoption. “Children are much better off when they have a family to go to at Christmas when they are 25 and 30 years old, with people whom they are connected to for a lifetime. Fostering does not offer that, so it is our priority to find permanent solutions.” That being said, there is a need for foster families as well, particularly for teen-agers. There are 25 youth under the care of FACSLA who are living in group care, and Woodman said that a number of them are very good candidates for fostering. Interested parties are invited to contact the agency at 613-545-3227. One thing that FACSFLA is stressing with their new strategic plan and their new name as well is that they do not see themselves as a threat to families, as much as they are responsible to safeguard children. “Families need not see us as a threat. We provide resources and support. The thresh-
old for us to remove children from their families is pretty high,” he said. The staff at the agency were very much a part of developing some of the new initiatives and protocols. Before completing its strategic plan, the agency sent a number of its staff to tour the province, visiting sister agencies that had been bringing innovative programming to their own communities. “The staff were asking for these changes. They saw the opportunities and they have been the ones who have brought improvements to our service,” said Woodman. Legislation requires not only educational, child-care and medical personnel to report suspected abuse to FACSFLA; all adults are required to report suspected abuse when they witness it. “We have a protocol for evaluating reports that come in,” said Woodman, “and in most cases reports that we receive do not lead to an investigation. However, sometimes we have multiple reports, and the cumulative effect is to tell us an investigation is necessary. So, we tell people that the best thing to do is not to make a judgement call themselves. If they suspect something they should report it. What they saw may only be a part of a larger picture,” he said.
Steve Woodman FACSFLA provides services out of offices in Kingston, Napanee, Sharbot Lake and Northbrook.

HARLOWE Marie White · I would like to thank North Frontenac Council for presenting me a plaque for senior volunteer of the year. Also to all of you, many thanks for the beautiful bouquet of flowers. It was a surprise to me; I love doing what I do, with help from others.

It seems that tablet devices like the iPad are being introduced to children at earlier ages all the time. Experts believe this can be a good thing for children, even those younger than two years old, as long as the toddlers spend no more than a half hour daily with the device. Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over. Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help soon. Bendopnea comes from the root word “apnea’ meaning shortness of breath. Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing. It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a homemade ear drop of equal parts vinegar and isopropyl alcohol to help the ear dry and the acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection. Even though advertising drugs in the media is illegal in Canada, Canadians still see those ads flowing across the border from the U.S. The ads paint glowing pictures of the drugs and how great they are, however, many of these drugs are no better than others already in use. Your doctor is the best judge of what is right for you. Do you have questions about something you see in the media? Check with our pharmacists. We can put things into perspective for you.

Arden - continued from page 5 · The Friends of Arden are again asking for your participation in two matters this month.

The Friends are asking for your input regarding the departing message. The sign measures 5’ X 20’ 6” and has solar lighting. You may submit as many proposals as you like and they can be mailed to Box 221, Arden or e mailed to gord.brown53@gmail.com. The winning proposal will be awarded a $100 cash prize. Three years ago and two years ago respectively, your input for sign design and colour and the Arden logo was requested. “Naturally beautiful, friendly by Nature” was chosen as the logo and now the committee awaits your ideas again. The contest deadline is August 15 and the winner will be announced in this column. For more information please see the posters in the post office, the rec hall, the Legion and other areas of importance. · The second request requiring your assistance is a brush trimming and general cleanup throughout the hamlet on Thursday and Friday, August 14 & 15.

Land O’ Lakes Curling Club 50th anniversary I
by Carolyn Johnston
n 2015 the Land O’ Lakes Curling Club will mark the 50th anniversary of the club in Tweed. On February 4, 1965, after the ice plant was built in the community centre, 32 enthusiastic Tweed residents unanimously voted at the Chamber of Commerce to organize a curling club in Tweed, renting ice time at the community centre. The first president of the club in 1965 was Ev English. Other members included Mrs. J. J. Paquette, vice-president; Mrs. V. Dunn, secretary; Mrs. W. H. Porch, treasurer, and Mrs. F. J. McCue, W. Raniowski, Harry McLean and Tom Hunter. Curling began on February 20. Over 90 members joined the club and a single membership cost only $5! The club initially rented curling rocks from the Marmora Curling Club, which had to be picked up and returned every week! A year later, 32 pairs of curling stones were purchased from the Scottish Curling Stone Co. in Glasgow, Scotland. By 1968, it became clear that the club should consider constructing its own building. A steering committee was formed in April 1968, consisting of Keith Baldwin, Sandford Wilson, David Morton, Harry Martin, Joe Chisholm and Clyde Bell, with Harold Cantelon as consultant. The curling rink was built during 1969 and formally opened on Jan. 10, 1970 with Clarke Rollins, M.P.P. cutting the ribbon. The president at this time was Ken Thompson; secretary Mrs. Helen Price and treasurer Mrs. Myrtle Gunning. Ev English, the first president, is still actively curling and the club is fortunate that he has generously agreed to work on the 50th Anniversary Committee. The committee is planning several events to mark this milestone and it is hoped that the entire Tweed and area community will participate in the celebrations. Here is a sample of what is planned; the club will provide more details as information becomes available: • October 18 - “Swing and Sweep”. Enjoy a game of golf, followed by lunch and an afternoon of curling. · Feb. 27 - March 1, 2015: “50th Anniversary Bonspiel”; a chance for all current and former members to enjoy some fun curling and reconnect with old friends. · August 8, 2015 - “50 Years of Memories: A Tribute to August Fest”. A banquet and dance with a live auction. If any former members have any historical memorabilia or photos please contact Muriel Dunford, who is working on a commemorative souvenir book, at 613-478-3575 or murieldunford@sympatico.ca Also check out www.curltweed.ca

Arden Seniors “Happy Gang” summer sale L
The Ratchet
This column by retired mathematician and seasonal Maberly resident, Edward Barbeau, is for your mathematical amusement. Its author is very happy to correspond with readers about mathematical matters, and hopes that the column will turn out to be a dialogue with readers of the Frontenac News. His email address is barbeau@math.utoronto.ca. Look at this table of the powers of 2 and 5; n 2n 5n 1 2 5 2 4 25 3 8 125 4 16 625 5 32 3125 6 64 15625 7 128 78125 8 256 390625 As the exponent n grows, the corresponding powers of 2 and 5 grow larger and have more digits. However, these powers are deferential towards each other. Every time n increases by 1, exactly one of the powers gains one more digit while the other remains the same length. For example, 24 has one more digit than 23, while 53 and 54 have the same length. If we continue computing powers, will this go on forever? To get a handle on how we can find out, let us look at the particular case n = 5 and see what it means for 25 = 32 to have two digits and 55 = 3125 to have four digits. This really says that 10 < 25 < 102 and 103 = 1000 < 3125 < 104 = 10000. Taking these two inequalities together, we can check that 104 < 25 x 55 < 106. Now let us look at a general number n, and suppose that 2n has x digits and 5n has y digits. Then 10x-1 < 2n < 10x and 10y-1 < 5n < 10y. Taking these two inequalities together, we find that 10x+y-2 < 2n x 5n = 10n < 10x+y: Since n lies between the whole numbers x + y - 2 and x + y, we must have that n = x + y - 1. In other words, the number of digits in 2n and the number of digits in 5n must add up to n + 1. The consequence of this is that every time we increase the exponent by 1, we increase the total number of digits in the corresponding powers of 2 and 5 by one. This can happen if and only if one of the powers gets one more digit and the other stays the same length. If you are a secondary mathematics student and want a little bit more of a challenge, consider the following. Suppose we start by writing the powers of 10 to base 2: 10 = (1010)2 = 1 x 23 + 1 x 2; 100 = (1100100)2 = 1 x 26 + 1 x 25 + 1 x 22; 1000 = (1111101000)2, and so on. Now write the powers of 10 to base 5: 10 = (20)5 = 2 x 5; 100 = (400)5 = 4 x 52; 1000 = (13000)5 = 1 x 54 + 3 x 53; 10000 = (310000)5 = 3 x 55 + 1 x 54, and so on. Then for any whole number k greater than 1, there is exactly one power of 10 than has k digits in either base 2 or in base 5 (but not in both bases). I would be interested to see what some reader does towards proving this fact.
by Julie Druker aughter and smiles were shared at the Arden Seniors Happy Gang fundraiser, which took place at the Kennebec hall in Arden on July 26. The annual event is the group’s biggest fundraiser of the year and it included a community garage sale, craft and art market, an outdoor barbeque and a silent auction with a wide variety of items donated by members of the seniors group. Jack Patterson has been the president of the group for the last 11 years and this year the group boasts 75 members. The fundraiser, which on average raises close to $3,000 a year, allows the group to continue to support numerous groups and organizations including the Canadian Cancer Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Alzheimer's Society, and Arden seniors Lorne Hiltz, David Neil, Doug Smith and Peter Smiley serve up burgers at Leukemia research, as well as Land the summer sale O'Lakes Public School in Mountain at the Kennebec hall in Arden at 11 a.m. and Patterson enGrove and the Central Frontenac fire station in Kennebec. courages anyone over 50 who is interested to come out to The group also supports Northern Frontenac Community sample a meeting. “We have an hour-long business meeting Services, the local snowsuit and hamper funds, the local and then we enjoy a nice potluck lunch. It's a lot of fun and swim program and the local food bank. Any remaining funds you can bet to hear a number of pretty good jokes.” The are used to put on a special Christmas dinner for the group. meetings are a great way for seniors in the community to get Close to 300 people attended this year’s summer sale, mak- together, share a meal and offer support to numerous worthy ing for another successful year. Patterson said the goal of causes in and around the community. the group is not only to provide a social venue for the seniors in the area but is also a way for seniors in the community to keep on eye on local happenings and issues that are of concern to them. “We often make special requests to our local council for things that concern us and, as one example, we have been able to acquire air conditioning for the hall here.” The group meets regularly on the first Tuesday of the month

ver 20 members of Ironstride, a local triathlon group based in Kingston that caters to triathletes of all ages and skill levels, were training in South Frontenac this week. The owner of the club, Randy Zabukovec, who founded it 15 years ago, was leading his group. They stopped for a break in front of the Sydenham public library during their day-long 85 km bike ride. The group started out in Kingston and rode along Montreal Road to Unity Road and up Sydenham Road
Outbreak of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease not traceable to lake water – Health Unit A
by Jeff Green
number of Central Frontenac area families have been suffering this summer with flu-like symptoms, followed by mouth sores and a rash. The disease they are likely suffering from is Hand Foot and Mouth disease (not to be confused with Hoof and Mouth disease, which only occurs in animals). In a Kingston Frontenac Public Health fact sheet, Hand Foot and Mouth disease is characterized as a “common contagious viral illness that affects mostly children, but adults can get it too.” It is usually contracted in the summer months and nearly all people recover within 7 to 10 days without treatment. It is considered “moderately contagious through direct contact with an infected person”.
Residents have raised concerns that the disease was contracted through the water at some of the local beaches, in particular the Sharbot Lake Beach, but Public Health Unit Officials say that cannot be the case. “Hand Foot and Mouth Disease is a virus that is only spread through direct human contact, not the water at public beaches,” said Karla Gimby, communications officer with KFL&A Public Health. Gimby added that the Public Health does not get notified by local primary care physicians or schools about outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease, unlike diseases such as influenza, which pose a more serious risk to public health.
Sydenham Legion Bass Derby F
ishers in a competitive derby are never apt to give away too much information about where they landed their catches. That was the case for two fishers who weighed in at the Sydenham Legion's Bass Derby, which took place on July 26 and attracted over 150 participants. Legion members Garnett Van Luven and Bob Stinson weighed the catches of fishers Tik Ostopovitch and Scott Bowes, whose fish each weighed in just a smidge under four pounds. Both men, not surprisingly, refused to name the lakes where their fish were hooked but Tik did offer up the fact that his fish were caught “with a worm”. The Sydenham Legion Fishing Derby was organized by Legion members Scott Morrison and Brent VanLuven and was brought back again this year after running on and off for many years previously. Kate Lett, the newly elected Sydenham Legion Branch 496 president, said the stops and starts of the derby were because it takes a substantial number of volunteers to organize it, and that it was possible to bring it back this year because “a

to Sydenham. They then did a loop on Desert Lake Road near Verona before heading back to Kingston. According to Randy the group does a lot of their bike and swim training in South Frontenac. Members also meet regularly twice a week in Sydenham to swim in Sydenham Lake. Randy and his group had nothing but praise for the area. “The surroundings and the lake here are beautiful and both make for a great place for us to train,” he said. “The drivers on the roads are also very courteous and friendly which makes riding in the area very pleasant for us.” Many of the group’s members are currently training for a number of upcoming events, including the Kingston K-Town Triathlon on August 3, the North American Ironman Championship in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec on August 17 and the Ironman World Championships in Kajua-Kona, Hawaii in October. One junior triathlete with the club is currently training for an upcoming race in Ottawa, one of the Canadian junior elite series of races.
The Health Unit does test the water at a number of locations in Frontenac County each summer for bacterial content, including: Arden, Long Lake, Big Clear Lake, Eagle Lake, Crow Lake, Kennebec Lake, and Sharbot Lake in Central Frontenac; Palmerston and Ompah in North Frontenac; Davidsons, Desert Lake and Sydenham Lake. At this time all of those locations are listed as safe and the beaches are open to the public.

Gospel Sing in Parham I
by Ina Hunt Turner t was with great pleasure that we welcomed a new member to our local talent at the Gospel Sing at the Parham Free Methodist Church on July 26. Amy Dagenais plays the guitar, sings, writes some of her own music and is a worship leader at her church. At the present time she is on staff at Camp Iawah in Westport, which will be over at the end of August. Even though Amy will be returning to her home in Ottawa, she assured us that
· Christmas in July: Santa came to visit early at Pine Meadow as they celebrated Christmas in July! Our summer student, Nathan, dressed up as Santa Claus, greeted residents on their way down to breakfast early Tuesday morning. The home was decorated with trees, lights and stockings! They made Christmas cookies, drank apple cider, enjoyed a Christmas sing along, and the best part was the turkey dinner with all the fixings they enjoyed that night! During the sing along, the residents enjoyed dancing with Santa! Elsie Snider was smiling from ear to ear as Nathan held her hand and danced to “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree”! Although it was July, the whole home was a-buzz with Christmas spirit! The trees were then packed away and replaced with sunscreen as the residents enjoy these long summer days! Christmas will be here soon enough! she has no problem coming back to us for the next Gospel Sing, which will take place on September 27 here in Parham. We hope that you mean that Amy, as we really enjoyed your enthusiasm and your lovely voice.
Elsie Snider & Nathan Graham-Ahola The Young and the Young at Heart: Jack Taylor, an amazing man who lives at Pine Meadow, is at the ripe old age of 101. His partner in crime, Emmett, is one year old.
submitted by Mallory Wionzek
Jack Taylor & Emmett Wionzek These two are exactly 100 years and 11 days a part. What an amazing thing to have a picture with a man 100 years older than you! What a different world these two will have grown up in. Emmett loves to come in and visit with the residents. His face lights up every time he sees Jack! He keeps them feeling young, and they will be able to give him wisdom beyond his years.

Bon Echo Art Show & Sale
Customer Christine Post (left) with Lisa Johnson
T
here is nothing better than witnessing a talented artist selling their works at an art show. That was the case of Lisa Johnson, one of many artists who set up shop at the Art Exhibition and Sale that took place at Bon Echo Provincial Park last weekend. Johnson was busy attending to a customer when I visited her booth on Saturday afternoon. Mazinaw Lake cottage owner Christine Post was looking at a number of paintings and ended up purchasing one of Johnson's paintings titled "Rekr's Rock", which Post she said she can see from her cottage. Johnson is no stranger to the magic of the landscape at Bon Echo. Her paintings are proof that the landscape is somehow in her blood and that might just be because she has been cottaging on Mazinaw Lake since was a wee one. An honours graduate from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1996, Johnson has been painting for 25 years. She returned to the Bon Echo show after a decade of absence, offering up an impressive selection of large and small oil landscapes that caught the eyes of both browsers and buyers at the show. Johnson, who sells her work at a variety of galleries and shows in Toronto, London and Windsor, painted her Bon Echo inspired pieces en plein air (in the open air). She paints in the tradition of the Group of Seven artists who also painted this landscape decades ago. Included in her display was the paint-smeared box that accompanies her on hikes and on rides in her small motor boat where many of her creations are made. “The en plein air process enables me to observe and capture what I see. It's a very observational way of working. Later, back in the studio I use these paintings or sketches

to create larger, more abstract works that come more out of my head and have more to do with how I feel about the landscape, but that are also a direct result of that initial en plein air study process.” Her works capture both the majesty and the ever changing beauty of the landscape, which she describes as “powerful, spiritual and magical places that have been attracting artists here for centuries.” Some of the works appear soft and flowing with layers of colour that are blended together seamlessly, like one large work of the famed Mazinaw rock painted in soft, subtly changing oranges and brown. Others of the same landscape are more hard edged and bold, painted with fat, textural and generous applications of paint that together make up the shapes that define the unique landscape. In many works Johnson is able to create a sense of movement, as in the clouds and sky in the painting "Rekr's Rock", which seem to swirl and move overhead. She said her former experience as a dancer is what informs the movement in her pieces, and which also underlies the fact she has experienced first hand for years how the landscape that surrounds her is always changing. “It's amazing how everything, the elements, the light and colour can change in an instant.” Johnson feels very much “connected to the history of painters who came here to paint, from A.Y Jackson to Charles Comfort and Arthur Lismer.” Last year she hiked to the location where A.J. Casson painted one of his works. “ I like the idea of connecting with artists of the past but finding new ways to do it.” Johnson's aim, she said, is always to “capture the feeling of a place. Not so much the photographic image but the space, the light, the movement and the atmosphere.” Her work demonstrates the fact that it takes a talented and experienced painter to do justice to the landscape of Bon Echo and Johnson is one artist in a long line who have managed to do just that. A selection of Johnson's work will be at the Colin Edwards
Children's activities at the show Gallery located at Bon Echo Park in the latter half of August. Her work is also available at Quinn's of Tweed Fine Art Gallery. For more information visit www.lisajohnsonart.ca

OPP reportS
Driver charged after damage to rail tracks
S
harbot Lake OPP have charged the driver of a truck and trailer following the investigation of a single vehicle collision at Wagarville Road near Road 38 in Central Frontenac Township. Shane Meeks, aged 26, of Addington Highlands Township is charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident and failing to stop at a stop sign. The truck and trailer attempted a left turn from Road 38 onto Wagarville Road
without stopping at a stop sign, skidding and mounting a curb before becoming embedded on Canadian Pacific Railway (CP Rail) tracks. The truck was freed and Meeks left the scene and did not report the collision. The damage to the tracks caused delays to rail and road traffic in the area for 10 hours. CP Rail estimated the damage and repair as costing no less than $10,000.

anark County OPP are investigating complaints of a new variation of scams involving requests for money orders to facilitate the transfer of “prize money” to the victim. The victim is contacted by telephone advising that they have won a prize, usually of a million dollars or more, and the caller states that the victim needs to send a money order to pay for the driver to deliver the prize. The amount “requested” has ranged
anywhere from $235 to $565.99. The caller gives a name and address in the United States and has represented himself as operating on behalf of Readers Digest. If the victim returns the call he or she is told that the money has been transferred to the Federal Reserve and a larger sum is needed to release and deliver the prize. Lanark County OPP urges the public not to forward funds or release banking or personal details to any unsolicited requests for funds.
