19th Annual Verona Cattail Festival
4317 Colebrooke Rd Harrowsmith 613-372-2662
by Julie Druker
T
he decision by members of the Verona Community Association’s festival committee to shorten this year’s Verona Cattail Festival to two days from its usual three in no way compromised what proved to be another successful festival year. Organizers somehow managed to cram in all of the regular annual festival events that keep crowds coming back, including the popular duct tape boat races at McMullen park beach, which attracted 18 boats with 36 paddlers and many more people who helped to build the boats. The opening parade, which took place on Saturday morning along Road 38 was also well attended with a fine array of close to 20 colorful, high-quality floats and numerous young and old bog-inspired characters. Prizes where given out to parade participants in several categories; winners included Sheldon Lovegrove, the Butterfly Princess Willa Morton, the First Verona Scouts for their float and Asselstine Hardware for their huge butterfly-ornamented float. There were tours of Verona and a bigger and better than ever classic car show that was a huge draw on Sunday. New this year were live steam train demonstrations courtesy of the members of the Frontenac Society of Model Engineers. The customary wide array of activities for kids were also set up on site and new this year was Morphy the bouncy caterpillar, which was a popular draw. The Cattail Express Train made countless trips around the grounds loaded with youngsters who also enjoyed the cycle and skills centre that was set up in the parking lot. Inside the hall were numerous educational games, displays and demonstrations for the inquisitive types. The canteen offered up regular and special festival treats like funnel cakes and more and the vendors’ market this year swelled to include over 40 vendors. Perhaps the biggest draw of all was the stellar line up of 14 live musical acts that were front and centre at the festival stage from noon till well after sundown. The groups included both local bands and bands from in and around the Kingston area, which kept festival goers entertained and the festival emcees Debbie Lingen and Dick Miller on their toes all weekend long. Juno-nominated Gary Rasberry was commanding the stage when I visited on Saturday while the powerhouse blues band Lisa V and the Roosevelts waited in the wings. The Saturday night headliners, the Rock a Billy All Stars and the Sunday afternoon closers the ToneKats show that entertainment coordinators Linda Bates and Rhonda Storring definitely did their homework. This year’s festival was comanaged by Wayne Conway and Ron Bruyns and Conway said he was pleased with the early turn out on Saturday. On average the festival attracts between 2000-3000 visitors and with any luck, though one day shorter this year, festival organizers will continue to meet that mark.

Miniature horses get a 60 day reprieve from Central Frontenac Council by Jeff Green
T
he Oso hall was packed to the rafters for the August meeting of Central Frontenac Council, not a common occurrence by any means. The audience sat through numerous debates over whether to stop up and close road allowances and heard about the number of building permits issued last month. They even sat through the approval of the accounts and the discussion about failed tax sales and whether vesting properties is a viable option in those cases. To their credit, no one closed their eyes through the entire first hour and a quarter of the proceedings, which is more than can be said of some members of the press, present company included. They waited through all this because of their devotion to Tommy and Teddy, the miniature horses that are cared for by Margaret Mallory and Brian Skillen, on their property at 113 Clarke Road. In mid-July, Mallory and Skillen were served a Notice of Contravention from the township's bylaw officer. The notice said they were in contravention of the township zoning bylaw because their 1 acre lot is less than the “minimum lot area for agricultural use”. The trouble for Teddy and Tommy came about as the result of a complaint by one neighbour, which was enough to trigger the township bylaw, since bylaw enforcement in Central Frontenac is complaint-based. Speaking on Mallory and Skillen's behalf, neighbours Glenys Coffin and Rebecca Kelsey asserted that Mr. Skillen is not operating a farm and that the miniature horses are not agricultural animals, but pets. “There are a number of species of dogs that are larger

than Tommy and Teddy. They are less than 3 feet tall and they weigh less than 150 pounds,” said Glenys Coffin. Tommy and Teddy are well known around the region because Brian Skillen brings them to Legion events in Arden and Tweed, the Fun Fair at Land O'Lakes Public School, to children's parties as far away as Newburgh, to county fairs and parades, and they have even been brought into Pine Meadow Nursing Home. A local foster family sent a letter of support, saying their three-year-old foster daughter has a terrible fear of animals, and Mr. Skillen brought his horses to their house every day for a time, until their foster child became accustomed to them and eventually began petting them and looking forward to the visits. “She has even begun to get over her fear of other animals, thanks to Tommy and Teddy,” the letter concluded. Faced with this, the debate among Council in response to the delegation centred on how to keep Tommy and Teddy in place while they looked for a permanent solution to the issue. Mayor Janet Gutowski pointed out that “the Ministry of the Environment phoned the township today {August 12} expressing a concern about possible well contamination because the horses are being kept in a garage that is near the well on the property and they will be checking further on water regulations. This is just something else that Council needs to consider.” The ministry's concern seems to stem from communication from the same complainant who made the initial complaint from the township.

Ribbons, cake and wagon rides at Trail opening in Verona
by Julie Druker lose to 50 trail users and numerous members of staff from the County of Frontenac and Township of South Frontenac, along with other dignitaries attended the festive official opening of Phase ll of the Frontenac K&P Trail, which took place at the bridge at Hardwood Creek in Verona on August 9. The K&P trail is slated to become part of the Trans-Canada Trail in Ontario, which extends over 2000 kilometres and connects numerous communities across the province from Windsor to Ottawa. This phase completes one of the last gaps of the trail in Ontario. South Frontenac Councilor Allan McPhail, who has chaired the County of Frontenac Advisory Committee for Trails, has seen the trail expand from Orser Road in Kingston up to Verona in his four years as chair. Phase ll of the project extended the trail from Harrowsmith in an 11 kilometre stretch to Verona and included the rebuilding of the Hardwood Creek bridge, which had been removed by the trail’s former owner, Bell Telephone. According to McPhail, the replacement of bridges has been one of the major obstacles along the way as they are by far the most expensive part of the rebuilding project. Phase ll was funded significantly through Trans-Canada Trails and the Government of Ontario through the Pan Am/ Parapan Am Trails initiative. MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, congratulated all the parties involved and said that the Frontenac County section of the trail is a great investment. It will not only link up sections of the Trans-Canada Trail but will also connect the trail to four major game venues and will incorporate trail markers at points of historical and cultural significance. “This trails investment is part of the broader $42 million Pan Am/Parapan Am Games promotion celebrations and legacy strategy, which will ensure a lasting legacy and will benefit Ontarians all across the province,” Kiwala said. Al MacPherson is president of the Kawartha Trans-Canada Trail Association and chair of the board of the TransCanada Trail Association. He is a professor and author and is passionate about Ontario trails. He spoke of the inception of the idea to build a Trans-Canada Trail, which came about

in the year 1992 at a meeting he was at in Banff, Alberta. “Everyone in the room said yes, but everyone outside that room didn’t agree. But now here we are, over 20 years later with the trail 75% complete.” He also spoke of the beauty of this particular section of the trail. He is committed to developing trails because, “They are gateways to nature, to active living and they also help preserve and showcase the natural beauty of this beautiful country of ours.” He credited the comBUSINESS CARD SIZE munities of Frontenac county that have enabled the Phase ll project to happen. The next phase of the extension, Phase III, will take place this fall and will include reconditioning the trail up to Cole Hill church located at White Lake Road north of Godfrey. After that the trail will be extended through Tichborne where it passes across private property before finally reaching Sharbot Lake.

McPhail hopes that the county will be able to reach an agreement with those property owners so that the trail can proceed with as few obstacles as possible. His message to those property owners, “If the trail is not right beside your home, and you have a large property, please consider allowing the Serving investor needs for more than 30 years trail to pass through.”
If it comes to it, the County does have the power to expropriate land for public use, a power that was exercised, at least as a threat, in one case in South Frontenac, although it is hoped that extreme measures will not be necessary. Aside from expropriation being an exepnsive and dificult process, it also brings delays. The County is determined to have the entire trail complete by 2017, when the Trans Canada trail is supposed to be completed. Following the ribbon cutting ceremony guests enjoyed cake and free wagon rides courtesy of Wayne Garrison and his able horse team of Prince and Skittles.

Ompah fire hall renovations to cost $300,000
I
f all goes well, North Frontenac Council will not have to concern itself with the future of the Ompah fire hall/ community centre any more.
A proposal put forward to council this week by Steve Sunderland, the voluntary co-ordinator of the project, included three options for council’s consideration. Council accepted option 3, the most complete and most expensive, at a cost of $292,225. The option includes two additions to the original proposal: in-floor heating in the fire hall and a relocated washroom and shower unit for the firefighters. The decision by council to add the two new elements came about after a flurry of correspondence between the Ompah Community Association (OCA) and the township in late July and early August. Ultimately the OCA sent a letter to the township last week pledging a $50,000 donation to the project on the condition that the two new elements be included. The rest of the money will come from a number of reserve funds, chiefly the Ompah fire hall reserve fund. When asked by the mayor, Fire Chief Steve Riddell said he was not sure that the in-floor heating was necessary, but his was the only dissenting voice on council. The most vocal critic of expanding the project beyond the $180,000 approved in this year’s budget, Councilor Wayne Good, from Barrie ward, was not in attendance, nor was Deputy Mayor Fred Perry, who had also argued for restraint. Good and Perry have gone so far as to question the need for the fire hall, given that there are fire halls in Plevna, 15 km to the west, and Snow Road, 8 km to the east. The project is already underway, following a suggestion earlier this spring by Steve Sunderland that it be split into numerous sub-projects, which are being completed one at a time. This way of proceeding came about when the lowest of the tender bids for the entire project was $364,000. However that was only the latest chapter in the saga of the Ompah fire hall, which has been at the council table for eight years or more. The township even purchased land across the road from the existing fire hall/community hall/library building, intending to build a brand new David J. Orser combined fire hall/ambulance base in conowner/operator

junction with Frontenac County. Cost overruns related to the site and projected costs as well as an inability to agree on costsharing led to the demise of that project, which left the township on the hook for the cost of purchasing and re-mediating the site, which once housed a gas station. After the latest series of letters between council, staff, Ompah residents and firefighters, which led to the proposal that has finally been approved by council, Mayor Clayton said in a letter to Rose Boivin of the Ompah Community Association, “No one will be happier to see this project come to a healthy conclusion than I.” Buckshot Lake cell tower lighting For the third time, Buckshot Lake residents Dave Swanson and Marie Whiting came to Council about a recently installed Bell Canada cell tower on the shores of the lake. They are concerned about the lights on the tower, particular a red LED light that shines down on the lake. “I have been talking to officials at Bell,” Swanson said, “and in order to follow the process to change the orientation of that light, the township first has to send a letter to Transport Canada, pointing out the problem. We can draft the letter and submit it to the township.” Norcan Lake dogs Council again The ill-fated Canonto Lodge subdivision on Norcan Lake, in the north-eastern edge of the township, was back on the council agenda this week. Earlier this summer, council decided to allocate the $30,000 remaining from what had been a $60,000 payment to them from developer David Hill. The money was to be paid back to Hill once all the conditions noted in a site plan agreement between Hill and the township were met. One of those is a laneway linking a number of lot owners’ properties with a water access lot they all hold in common. This laneway has never been constructed, and has been mired in controversy, leading a group of angry lot owners to seek redress from Council. The latest problem arose when an engineer’s report, commissioned by the township’s public works manager, Jim Phillips, revealed that a stacked boulder retaining wall at the edge of the proposed lane could SINCE 1970

Tommy and Brian visiting a hospital will certainly be able to report back within 60 days, if it is necessary to change the bylaw it will take longer than that, because of the process that needs to be followed. “But we can extend the stay if we have to,” said Councillor Heather Fox.

the meeting, said that no ministry official has visited his property thus far. Councillor Tom Dewey proposed a motion asking staff to look into making changes to the bylaw to clarify the distinction between livestock and pets and report back to council within 60 days. “The other thing we need to do is find a way to put a stay on the order to remove the horses from the property,” said Councillor Norm Guntensperger. Councillor John Purdon suggested that the remedy for the problem may not involve changing the bylaw at all. “By our definition of a hobby farm, this is not a hobby farm, and it all comes down to what we define as livestock. If we define these miniature horses as pets, we no longer have an issue,” he said. After a break to discuss the wording of a motion, council proceeded to pass a motion asking staff to report back on the situation, including consulting with the Ministry of the Environment and the township's lawyer. They also put a stay on the order to remove the animals for 60 days. Chief Administrative Officer Larry Donaldson said that while staff

make sure we have what we paid for in the first place so we can go ahead and build and pay taxes to them,” one of them said outside the meeting. Recycling ratios remain steady North Frontenac residents continue to recycle more bags of waste than they send “over the hill’ into township landfill. Statistics for the 2nd quarter of 2014 show a consistent rate of just under 60% each month throughout the system, although the numbers vary somewhat from waste site to waste site. The 2014 totals are almost 5% better than they were a year earlier, when the rate was about 55%.

fail. The engineer recommended building a new wall and Phillips brought that recommendation to council. Phillips also recommended meeting with the affected landowners to discuss the matter. A couple of Canonto subdivision land holders were present at the meeting. They wanted to address Council on the matter but had not registered as a delegation beforehand. One of them expressed frustration at the further delay and added cost to the construction. “I don’t know why the township didn’t go right after David Hill for this. I don’t know why we end up being treated like the enemy when all we want to do is

We’ve missed you folks. · Last month Rick Belwa attended a large Masonic event in Toronto and is glad to be back home in the country. · Sympathy and prayers to the family of the late Gwen See whose son Bill and brother Tom (spouse June) live in Arden. Gwen lived at the John M. Parrott Centre in Napanee. Also we bade farewell to Jean Bromley, who at one time clogged with the Harlowe group taught by Joyce Lemke. Also, sympathy to the family of the late Leola (Gurnsey) Hayes, born in Henderson, but who died surrounded by her family in Timmins where she resided for the last many years. · The Harlowe Wesleyan and Standard church will soon be embarking on their annual spiritual pilgrimage to church camp followed by the September resumption of Sunday School classes. · The Conservationists of Frontenac and Addington (COFA) has had to postpone taking young folks out fishing to Deer Rock Lake. We do so appreciate these area groups who so willingly make a difference. This group, through their conservation fund raising (including that annual yummy beef dinner) is able to donate funds for the outdoor education program at North Addington Education Centre- another fantastic program that teaches life skills in the out of doors. · Speaking of the out of doors- we got all shook up watching the supermoon on Sunday evening. · Bears are on the scene so here are some tips: Keep ahead of bears by making loud noises to frighten them away, and don’t ever run from them. I heard that one could also lie down and play dead- but have never used that technique myself. I’d love to hear from any readers who have.

· About 250,000 couples in Canada are trying to have children but are unsuccessful. Infertility is defined as an inability to conceive following 12 months of unprotected intercourse. The causes vary and can be found in either the man or the woman. Testing can determine the cause and the results can dictate various alternatives to achieving a successful pregnancy. · Carrying a list of all the medications you take is a good idea. This list should include both prescription and non-prescription drugs. It can be helpful when traveling or if you have to see a doctor other than your own in an emergency situation. Your list will save time and help you get treatment more quickly. · A survey of the top ten prescribed drugs of 2013 still shows a thyroid replacement drug on top followed by a drug for reducing cholesterol, four blood pressure medications: two antidepressants and one blood thinner. In 10th position this time was a Vitamin D product reflecting the huge interest in the Vitamin in recent years. · If going to the gym isn’t your thing and you want a good aerobic workout, try stair-walking. Start slowly and gradually increase the number of steps you go up and down. After a while, take two steps at a time which is good for your large quadricep muscles. And if you are in a building with an elevator, take the steps. · Talk to our pharmacists about a medication review. We will provide you with a list of prescription and over the counter “medication” that you take. We might even have a few tips to help you get the best health outcomes from your medications. Take charge of your own health and let our pharmacists be on your health team.

wish Sarah and her family all the best and will miss her terribly. After the service there will be a potluck luncheon at the Maberly hall. Everyone is welcome. · Maberly Agricultural Society news: Tune in to Lake 88 at 8:10 a.m. Tuesday August 19 for an interview with Gordon Patterson about the Maberly Fair. Gordon is a proven true leader in the community, and county-wide. He served on North Sherbrooke Council for many years and has been warden of Lanark County Council, president of the Cattleman’s Association as well as serving three times as president of the Maberly Agricultural Society. His most recent civic duty was actively organizing the “Hay East” project, to bring hay donated by western Canadian farmers to eastern Ontario to alleviate a shortage of livestock feed caused by a drought. · Urgent request on behalf of the the Maberly Agricultural Society. Volunteers are urgently needed for the Maberly Fair. There are currently only a very small number of people involved in making this fair happen. If you can spare a few hours to help out, please give Anne Tomlison a call at 613273-5069. The 132nd annual fair is coming up on Sat. Aug. 23. The theme this year is Poultry. The parade will be starting at the new fire hall at 10:30 am and makes its way to the fairgrounds. If you would like to enter your antique farm machinery, unusual piece of equipment, show off your horse drawn float with a poultry theme, flaunt a costume, or advertise your business by way of a float, contact Sylvia Bumstead at 613-268-2543. Ribbons and prizes will be given out for adults and children for the best floats. The fairgrounds open at 9 am with the light horse show. Admission for the day is $5 for adults, kids 7 – 17 $3, and 6 years and under are admitted free. · Did you know that the original exhibit hall at the fair was destroyed by a twister in 1931? · Something else you might find interesting; the South Sherbrooke Agricultural Society (the original name) was a formal organization because there was an established procedure set out by the government on how to organize such a society. This was just not a whim of a couple of farmers that caught on. The mandate was to improve agriculture, improve stock, and even improve farming implements. It was very important to learn how to be self-sustaining by encouraging the production of local food, such as butter, cheese, milk, and maple sugar. Honey came later. Even the production of linen and flannel was encouraged. The fair got the local producers to come together and learn from one another. They shared seeds, traded ideas, and borrowed one another’s equipment, or learned how to make their own. By the next fair, these people were able to demonstrate what they learned, what they grew, and how they improved their farming technique. The Maberly Fair still includes these basic elements which you can see by looking at and watching the demonstrations. It was run by volunteers then and it is still run by volunteers now. · Friends Forever Club #815 News: Bake sale and garage sale at the ABC Hall on Sat. Aug. 23. Tables arer $10 or two for $15, contact Joanne Milner-Green at 613-279-1106 or email jo.mil.grn@hotmail.com. The seniors group is also accepting donated articles for their table. · Local Food news: Rave reviews have been coming in about the local corn the Parks are producing. If you’re driving by, consider stopping at the roadside stand and trying their sweet corn. I am told it’s so good no butter or salt is needed. That means it’s good for you! · Join the Friends of the Tay and the Perth Farmers’ Market on Aug. 16 for an interesting and fun way for the whole family to find out what is happening with our water, lakes and rivers in the Tay watershed. The 14th Annual Watershed Discovery Day runs from 8 am to 1 pm. Entertainment provided by Long Sault Trio. Bring the children to Story Time at the Perth Library Booth from 10 to 11 am, or to try their luck at the Fishing Pond – and learn
about water. The Perth Farmers’ Market is located at the Crystal Palace. For more information contact David Taylor 613-264-0094, or friends@tayriver.org Support your local growers and your environment!

LOL Petting Farm draws a crowd I by Julie Druker f the number of cars parked on the lawn in front of the Land O' Lakes Petting Farm on Road 506, near Cloyne was any indication, the farm's Family Day fundraiser on August 10, was a resounding success. The event attracted residents and tourists from all over the area, who enjoyed a leisurely day exploring the outdoor pens, the barn and ponds that are home to the farm's over 50 rescued animals. Animal lovers of all ages petted and fed the horses, donkeys, mules, llamas, sheep, lambs and pigs, all of whom seemed as pleased to receive the attention as the visitors were to give it. Owner Barry Smith gave tours of the large barn, which is home to numerous ducks, geese, peacocks, rabbits and a gosling with a broken wing named Skeeter, the newest member of the bunch. One of the day's special draws was Zanzar the Magical Genie, who put on a show that included numerous tricky escapes, fire
breathing and his showstopper - turning a dove into a rabbit. Another draw was the five piece band, the Original Slam Grass Orchestra, formerly known as the Tweed Twangers, who played a fabulous line up of what they call “poly-ethnic Cajun country slam grass”. The music was very danceable. The band also provided instruments for fellow twangers. The Smiths were some of the busiest people there, with Barry on tour duty while Don-
Zanzar the Magical Genie with members of The Original Slam Grass Orchestra na had her hands full manning the main gate and the main kitchen area, where guests could enjoy a BBQ lunch, fresh corn on the cob and other sweet treats. Donna was thrilled with the turnout, which she estimated at over 400 visitors. Funds raised from the fun day will help the Smiths keep the animals well fed and looked after throughout the year, which is especially hard to do in the winters months, when they do not get many visitors. Donna said guests not only help the animals to heal by allowing them the chance to trust humans again, but also are therapeutic for people, especially those with developmental disabilities and other medical issues. Animals are known to bring a sense of joy and calm and well being to all who are fortunate enough to visit them. Donna said that
the farm is constantly being inundated with sick, injured or unwanted animals and that she and Barry strongly believe that “These animals deserve to live a humane life and to be free from suffering.” The educational farm is run solely by volunteers, with many local students doing their community hours there. The farm is also visited regularly by school children at the North Addington Education Centre and is part of their grade 2 curriculum. Special needs students at NAEC are also regular visitors. The fun day was the farm's second fundraiser in its five-year history and Donna Smith is hoping to make the event an annual one. For those who would like to donate, call 613-336-0330 or visit the farm at 1200 Road 506 near Cloyne.

A proud new owner and new location for Goodfellow’s Flowers by Julie Druker oodfellow's Flowers, the local flower business that was started by Ann and David Goodfellow roughly 20 years ago in Parham, has once again changed hands. Until June of this year the business was owned by Michelle Greenstreet, who bought it from the Goodfellows around a decade ago and moved it to Clement Road. Greenstreet had been looking for a buyer for the business and in late May, 2014 she paid a visit to Rimpy Kaillon, wife of Ram Kaillon, owners and operators of Ram's Esso station on Hwy 7 in Sharbot Lake. It was then and there that Rimpy, who has always loved flower arranging, decided “on the spot”, as she says, to purchase the business and move it to its new location at Ram's Esso. Rimpy is no stranger to flower arranging; she studied it in the past with Erik Wesseling of the Canadian Association of Flower Arrangers in Woodstock. She recalled that, “When Michelle came here in May and we spoke, I decided right away to buy the business. I knew it was the right kind of business for me and the kind of business that I always wanted to have." The official transaction took just a few days to complete and a few more to move the shop from Clement Road to Ram's Esso and into the store where it is now open for business. Prior to the purchase, Rimpy had been making and selling silk flower arrangements at home and selling them at the store, but once the official papers were signed she was eager
G
to learn everything she could about the business. She decided to enroll as a student at the Canadian Institute of Floral Design in Toronto for their three-week course. There she was taught everything there is to know about flower arranging, including its business side. Five instructors taught her, including Donald Waltho, Ashley Waltho, Brad Higginson and Rhonda Ristich and after successfully completing the course she was thrilled to finally return home to Sharbot Lake with her framed certificate in hand. Rimpy is now ready to serve her customers and she exudes the confidence and enthusiasm that new business ownership brings. She is planning a grand opening at the store sometime this fall. The store's name will remain the same, Goodfellow's Flowers, as will its website www. goodfellowsflowers.com, and longtime phone number (613-279-6446). Rimpy will offer customers a wider selection of fresh cut and silk flowers, and arrangements for all occasions, including weddings, proms, anniversaries, birthdays, funerals, memorial services and other special events as well as gift baskets, corsages and more.
Goodfellow's Flowers is located at Ram's Esso, 24515 Highway 7 just east of Road 38. Proud new owner, Rimpy Kaillon, will be on hand to serve you and meet all of your floral needs.

Highlights from the 2014 Cloyne Showcase
Lisa Driscoll with her hand sewn felt creatures by Julie Druker nce a year the North Addington Education Centre in Cloyne is transformed into a vast and varied art and craft venue for artists and artisans from all over the province. The show, which is free to visitors, has been running for decades and once again this year it offered up a mind-boggling selection of work from over 70 exhibitors. The artists' booths cover the entire ground floor of the school. Visitors spend many hours leisurely viewing the work and are hard pressed to depart without some unique hand made treasures. Pottery, glass work, wooden crafts, jewelry, fine art and photography, quilts, knit goods and body products were just a few of the items up for grabs, not to mention a number of other unique treasures that caught my eye. Lisa Driscoll of Stirling, ON, owner of Hetty Jean Handmade Designs makes unique hand sewn creatures from felt,
O
fleece and fur. Her creatures are cute and colorful and she aims to make each with its own unique character. Her bats boast clever teeth made from zippers and their wired wings can be manipulated to open and close. Her “Hugglies” are small, bright uni-blob-bodied monsters that Lisa calls “huggable uglies”. They make cozy and cuddly friends for youngsters of all ages. Lisa's other creatures include giraffes, cats, dinosaurs, owls, and many more. Her businesses name derives from Lisa's two grandmothers - Hetty, her father's mother and Jean, her mother's mother, who both taught her how to sew and inspired her to create the imaginative sewn animals that suit the young at heart of all ages. Another artisan working in one of the more unusual mediums at the show was Carol Jones, who hails from Dunsford, Ont. near Bobcaygeon, where she has a studio called All Creatures Great and Small. Jones is a painter, who instead of painting on canvas or board, opts to ply her brush to feathers - specifically, the tail feathers of wild turkeys. Her motivation came after seeing a similar way of painting when she visited western Canada years ago. “I wanted to create my own little niche, so I chose to make feather paintings instead of regular ones.” Her subject matter includes wildlife, landscapes, fantastical and aboriginal scenes, butterflies and animals that include foxes, bears herons and more. Prior to painting, Jones uses a small Dremel tool to smooth down the central quill on each feather in order to avoid having to paint on its ridges. Jones said that it took a lot of experimenting before she finally got her technique down. Once the painting is complete she covers the quill tip at the bottom end of the feather by attaching additional decorative feathers and finishes them off with a piece of circular leather adorned with a semi precious stone. The feather paintings are then mounted on matte board and framed in a shadow box. New to her work is the recent addition of crushed glass, which she applies to certain painted sections on the feather. She describes these new works as her “newest fantasy line of paintings” and the glass gives them a sparkling, shimmering surface that adds to their more mystical feel.
Seniors’ ball game Arden vs Cloyne S
unday August 10 the seniors' teams from Arden and Cloyne held their annual baseball game at the Cloyne ball diamond. Both teams are made up of seniors of their prospective communities and play internal games through the summer. After pizza and refreshments we took to the
diamond. The teams arrived determined to repeat the good time that was had last year and the success was repeated with smiles, laughs and the struggle to get to the next base. - submitted by Patricia Nobbs and Lauder Smith

Council expresses interest in acquiring Hinchinbrooke school building No dollar commitment necessary at this time
by Jeff Green he Limestone District School Board has formally declared that the Hinchinbrooke School property is surplus and has approved the sale of the property. Central Frontenac, on the urging of a community group called the Central Frontenac Community Recreation Centre Committee, has decided to put forward an expression of interest in the 13,870 square foot building and the 5.28 acres that surround it. CAO Larry Donaldson said that he has contacted the board about the property. “They are not looking for an offer to purchase right away. They will be inviting groups to come forward and will then walk everyone through the process and will share the most current information about the building and property so that when a decision is made it will be an informed one,” he said. According to provincial regulations the board is required to offer the property first to all adjacent school boards, of which there are three, two French and one English Catholic Board, followed by post secondary institutions (St. Lawrence College, Cite College – Ottawa, Queen’s University) the Ontario Infrastructure and Land Corporation, the Township of Central Frontenac, Frontenac County, and the federal government. Speaking for the Recreation Centre Committee, Sue Leslie said there are at least a half a dozen community groups interested in using the space. They include the Parham Happy Travelers, Northern Frontenac Community Services, a local artists group, the soccer and baseball leagues, RKY camp and Community Living – North Frontenac. “The library will also need space, and they have a policy of locating branches in community hubs, so this would be a good location.” Members of Council asked if any of the potential users were in a position to pay rental or usage fees of any kind. “Certainly Northern Frontenac Community Services is willing to pay for programming space, and others are aware as well, although they aren’t necessarily in a position to pay a lot,” said Leslie. She said that as far as she knew the cost of maintaining the building, which the school board has pegged at $132,000 per year, includes a full-time caretaker, which the community would not need to employ. “There is a lot of square footage to the building,” said Councillor John Purdon, “and the library only needs about 1000 square feet of it and they are only open 6 hours a week. And the other groups will be using it only occasionally. Are you sure you have use for all that space?’ “There are lots of uses. If you build it they will come,” said Leslie, “and since we might have to limit ourselves to the main floor for public use because of accessibility requirements, we may have less space than we need.” Councillor Frances Smith said, “To maintain it over the long term is going to be difficult, once the township owns it. The land itself is worth something to the Hinchinbrooke community, to all of us, since the fair ground, ball field and fire hall are adjacent to it. I think we should show an expression of interest for sure.” Councillor Jeff Matson suggested that the other groups on the list should be contacted to see if any of them are interested in a joint venture. CAO Donaldson said he would do that, and council approved a motion to let the board know they are interested in the property. To date the township has not put any money aside for the project, nor have they made even an informal commitment to spend anything. The community group has indicated they will get involved in fund-raising for the project if necessary.

Lucille Harper turns 100 L by Brenda Martin
ucille J. (Caldo) Harper turned 100 years old on July 9, 2014. She is a long time seasonal resident on Big Clear Lake, Arden. Lucille is a close friend to Verna Cowdy of Mountain Grove and "special" grandmother to the Claude Cowdy family. Her next visit to Canada is scheduled for the week of August 17-22 and we hope that many of the Arden friends will get a chance to visit her. Lucille was born in Juneau, Alaska, July 9, 1914. She, along with her parents, Edward and Lucille (Perchuette) Caldo and sister Annabelle (Cunico), headed for Michigan in 1921. On July 8, 1936, she married Gordon M. Harper in Clinton County, Michigan. She still resides in Perry, where she and Gordon raised three sons: Gordon Jr., Robert and Allan. Lucille is grandmother to six grandchildren, six greatgrandchildren and four great-great grandchildren. Lucille was educated in Lansing, where she proved to be a fine athlete: a first class pitcher for softball and running centre for basketball. This would explain her keen interest in the local softball in Canada. For years, she and Gordon travelled to most games that the Mountain Grove softball teams played. She retired from Universal Electric in 1976. She enjoyed travelling throughout the USA and Baja, Mexico, but their special love was their cottage on Big Clear in Arden. The cottage was built in the sixties by Gordon Sr., son Robert, friend Veryl Jones and favourite Canadian Claude Cowdy. Ma Harper, as she is known by her great-grandson, Zachary Gomez, enjoyed her stay from June to October in Canada until 2011. Lucille was a wonderful seamstress, making all of her children's clothing and many of her outfits. She loves hats! If she didn't have one to match her outfit, Lucille would make one. She is known for her love of flowers and is still active in Perry Garden Club (for 70 years). In Michigan and in Arden she attended seniors’ club, euchre parties and red-hatters to name a few. She is an avid sports fan especially of baseball and basketball. When in Canada, she would go to Verna's for popcorn and to watch baseball where she cheered for Detriot Tigers while Verna supported the Bluejays. In May 1995, Lucille had the opportunity to return to her birthplace with her granddaughter JoAnn, niece Betty Jane and friend Mary Ellen. They were able to visit the govenor's mansion where Lucille's mother cooked for the govenor when they lived in Juneau. They also visited the area where they lived and found a baseball field where their house had stood. Hopefully, friends and neighbours will make time to say "Howdy" when Lucille is in Arden later this month.

Aftermath - The Beer Mug Theorem 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. uppose you have a mug of beer, so cold that the outside of the mug is covered with condensation. When you place it on the bar, it leaves a wet circle. Take a swig and replace the mug on the bar, so that the new circle it makes intersects the first circle. Take another swig, and replace the mug so that you have three circles all passing through a common point. Then you can have a final swig, and replace the mug so that the circumference of its base rests on the points where the first three circles intersect in pairs. This is illustrated in the diagram. [Take in Figure 1] There are three circles with equal radii all passing through the point Figure 1 P. Each of the points A, B, C are the intersections of exactly two of the circles. The assertion is that the unique circle that passes through A, B and C has the same radius as the three given circles. ****************************************** There is an interesting way to visualize why this happens. Let U, V, W be the three centres of the circles as indicated. [Take in Figure 2] Join each centre to the three points known to be on its circumference. That is, join UP, UB, UC, VP, VA, VC, WP, WA, WB. All these segments are equal to the common radius of the three circles. They also appear to form a two-dimensional skeleton of a cube. So complete the cube as indicated with the dotted lines; the remaining vertex of the “cube”, Q, is the centre of the fourth circle.
S
We can make an honest proof out of this by noting that the sides of quadrilateral AWPV are all equal, so that AWPV is a rhombus. So are BUPW and CVPU. Therefore the segments AW, PV and CU are parallel. Similarly, AV, W P and BU are parallel, as Figure 2 are BW, UP and CV. Now draw a line through B parallel to WA and UC, and a line through A parallel to WB and VC. Let them meet at Q. Since AWBQ is a parallelogram with adjacent sides equal, it is a rhombus and AQ = BQ = BW = AW, the common radius of the three circles. Also AQ is equal and parallel to VC, so that AQCV is a parallelogram and so QC = AV, the common radius. Thus, the distance from Q to each of the points A, B and C is equal to this radius and so is the centre of the circle through A, B and C. Figure 3 We need to note however that the diagrams do not give the only possible configuration. It could happen that the points B and C fall on the same side of the line AP. [Take in Figure
3.] In this case, the construction of our “cube” is slightly different. [Take in Figure 4.] Figure 4

God gives us some very deep water to tread before bringing us safely to shore.
Victor St. Jean
In loving memory of a special husband and best friend, whom God called home on August 13, 2009. You walk with me down quiet paths And speak in the wind and rain. For the magic power of memories Gives you back to me again. When I look back upon our life, One thing makes me glad That you chose me to share with you Those precious years we had. My love forever, Huguette.
Jeffery Tooley 1957-2002
He left us quietly His thoughts unknown, But left us a memory We are proud to own So treasure him Lord, In your garden of rest, For when on earth He was one of the best. We remember the lake, And the gentle breeze, The sound of the loon, By the light of the moon. The morning dew, And the rustle of the leaves, The light of his smile, That was taken too soon. Love always, Mom.

Classic Theatre’s Dial M for Murder grips opening week audiences F
or someone who hated writing, Frederick Knott guaranteed he wouldn’t have to do too much of it to make a living when he penned his first play, the universally loved Dial M for Murder, which opened to capacity crowds and standing ovations last week at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival (54 Beckwith Street East, at Harvey). The show continues this week and until August 31, Wednesday to Saturday at 8 pm, with 2 pm matinees each Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Originally rejected by seven separate producers, Dial M for Murder was finally picked up for BBC TV, and then found a home on the London stage and Broadway in 1952. Since then, the play has not only been turned into a smash Hollywood movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Ray Milland and Grace Kelly, but has been translated into scores of languages and played around the globe. Knott also penned the enormously popular thriller Wait Until Dark. While the movie remains a must-see for any classic mystery fan, seeing the show live on stage is a wholly different experience, given the intimacy of the audience with the players and the tension that builds as a dogged police investigator hones in on the man plotting murder. To enhance the excitement of the Classic Theatre Festival’s first murder mystery, a series of “Saturday Night Specials” will feature mystery and crime writers reading from their works at 7pm prior to the 8pm shows. The August lineup features some of the region’s top authors, including Barbara Fradkin & Vicki Delany (August 16), R.J. Harlick & Linda Wiken (August 23) and Brenda Chapman & Thomas Curran (August 30). Saturday Night Special attendees will get a chance to meet the authors, buy their books and have them signed, and, following the evening performance of Dial M for Murder, take home a good read for the cottage or backyard. Tickets for Dial M for Murder are available online at classictheatre.ca or by calling tollfree at 1-877-283-1283.

Sixth annual Swim of Hope St. Andrew's Anglican Church fundraiser for outreach programs F
S
hoppers crowded the sidewalk outside of St. Andrew's Anglican church in Sharbot on August 2 for the church's August bake, yard and book sale. The event has been taking place for close to three decades now and parishioners donate their goods, time and effort for the event. Funds raised are used to support the many outreach ministry programs that the church supports including the local food bank, Hyanto, the Anglican church's children's camp in Lyndhurst as
well as Primate's World Relief and Development Funds, which support the northern diocese in Canada as well as other Anglican dioceses globally. Currently the fund is supporting the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem, specifically the Abu Lahab hospital in Gaza. Some of the funds, like those donated to the Food Grains Bank, are matched by the Canadian government through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

Eisstock makes a comeback in Sydenham N
estled in a forgotten corner of the back parking lot at Sydenham High School, a few temporary lines have been drawn on the pavement at either end of that section of the lot. For most of the week that is the only outward sign that a forgotten Austrian tradition from Kingston’s past has been reborn. On Thursday evenings, the space comes to life. Members of the Austrian community from Kingston and Frontenac County, and others who have become hooked on Eisstock, arrive at 6 pm. They pull their Eisstocks from their cars and head over to the makeshift rink. The sport of Eisstock was popular in Kingston in the 1960s and 70s, around the time when the city’s Austrian club was in its heyday. The club has faded as has the sport, but it is making a comeback. Eisstock is both the name of the sport and of the apparatus that is at its core. Eisstocks are similar to curling stones but they have a heavy metal base, on which both a handle and a surface pad can be affixed. There are different pads
