The 20th annual Silver Lake Pow Wow by Julie Druker
A
lthough organizers of the traditional Silver Lake Pow Wow did not mark this year’s event with any special 20-year anniversary tributes, they were pleased with the turnout.
Organizer Trudy Knapp said the ongoing aim of the Pow Wow is to honour the native identity of off-reserve Aboriginals in the community and it is an opportunity for them to embrace their roots. The event continues to attract natives from all over Ontario and Quebec from as far away as Manawaki, Curve Lake near Peterborough, Toronto, North Bay, and Ottawa.

Frontenac County warden in London hospital by Jeff Green

orth Frontenac Township mayor, Bud Clayton, who is also serving as warden of Frontenac County this year, remained in the Intensive Care Unit at the London Health Sciences Centre after falling ill early last week while attending a meeting of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). He has a suspected case of viral meningitis. Cheryl Robson, the Chief Administrative Officer of North Frontenac Township, said that Clayton’s family is with him. “He took sick during the AMO meeting and at the hospital they ruled out stroke and heart attack and they are quite certain it is
viral meningitis and are treating it as such,” said Robson. Early this week, Robson said that Clayton’s condition had improved over the weekend. His fever had dropped and he had been responding to his wife, Jackie Clayton. Kelly Pender, the Chief Administrative Officer of Frontenac County, was attending the AMO meeting with Clayton. He remained in London after the meeting wrapped up, only returning late in the week after Clayton’s family had arrived. Fred Perry, the deputy mayor of North Frontenac, officiated at a public meeting on a planning matter last Friday, August 23. At the start of the meeting Perry informed the public about Mayor Clayton’s health issue. “Bud is a fighter,” Perry said after the meeting, “he doesn’t give in to things.” Cheryl Robson concurred. “I expect we’ll see him back here in a couple of weeks, just as before,” she said. Viral meningitis is not normally a life threatening illness, in contrast to bacterial meningitis, which often is, according to the Mayo Clinic. The most effective treatment for the disease seems to be time. Antibiotics can’t cure viral meningitis, and most cases improve on their own in several weeks, according to the Mayo Clinic website. Bud Clayton is registered to run for reelection as mayor of North Frontenac. The registration deadline is September 12. There is one other registered candidate for mayor, Claudio Valentini. Mayor Clayton’s term as warden of Frontenac County has three more months to run.

Over 400 people arrived early on the first day of the Pow Wow and Knapp said organizers were expecting roughly 2500 over the entire weekend. One major attraction is the grand entry that occurs at noon on both days at the main arbor. It introduces all the different types of native dancers, and also includes raising the flags and eagle staffs and awakening the drum that calls the spirits into the grounds. This year Leslie St. Pierre was head male dancer; Christina Kennedy, head female dancer; Sharpe Dopler, head veteran; Larry McDermott, elder; arena director was Paul Carl; Danka Brewer, emcee; Jeremy Davies, host drum and Chris Westbury and Alex Brewer, fire keepers. I attended the grand entry on Saturday where head veteran Sharpe Dopler spoke
of the significance of what it means when an eagle feather is dropped during the dancing at the grand entry. “Eagle feathers are very special and it is a great honour to be gifted one and given the responsibility of caring for it. When an eagle feather drops off of someone’s regalia, for us it is a symbol of a warrior passing because commonly in the past eagle feathers were given to warriors for feats of bravery. So when a feather drops there is a ceremony we have to perform when we pick it up. We offer it some tobacco and a prayer and we pick it up with an eagle fan to take it off the earth. Then the head veteran decides what happens with the feather. In this instance I chose to give it back to the person who dropped it.” At one point during the grand entry nonnative members of the community were invited into the circle to join the dancers, and many who attended did so. Sharpe said that the Silver Lake Pow Wow is one of her favorites and said it is one that is known for being very open, warm and accepting, which she said is “something that you do not find everywhere.” This year’s Pow Wow included 17 vendors selling all kinds of native arts and crafts, and a canteen, plus the numerous traditional dances and other ceremonies. For natives and non-natives alike the event offers up a great opportunity to observe and partake in the beauty of a traditional Pow Wow on the shores of Silver Lake.

Ardoch Lake development plan faces hurdles
august 28, 2014 by Jeff Green
E
ver since the Ardoch Lake Development Corporation began planning to develop lots on a large section of Ardoch Lake about five years ago, there has been keen public interest in the project, mainly from the few other property owners on the lake, and the more numerous residents of Malcolm Lake, which adjoins it. It was not surprising, therefore, that the Clar-Mill Hall in Plevna was full on August 22 for a public meeting on the proposed 34 vacant lot condominium on the property. A vacant lot condominium is similar to a subdivision. It is a planning tool that allows a developer to sub-divide a single large lot, in this case a 200 acre parcel with frontage on about half of the small lake. The laneway that connects all these properties to the nearest township road will be built by the developer, and maintained by a condominium corporation that will need to be established. In this case, the condominium corporation will also take legal responsibility for the type of septic systems that each of the eventual property owners puts in on their own lots. Because Ardoch Lake is small, and there is a potential for increases in phosphorous levels in the lake as the result of septic runoff, this is a key element to the proposal. The first presenter on the application was Joe Gallivan, who is playing a dual role in the planning process. As the staff planner for Frontenac County, he represents the county’s interest as the approval authority for the plan of vacant land condominium. As the contract planner for the township (under an agreement with the county) he represents the township’s interests in dealing with a site plan agreement and a zoning application that is part of the proposal. Gallivan outlined the way the latest phase of the process has developed, including the reports from commenting agencies such as the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Kingston Frontenac Public Health and others. Chief among the concerns expressed by MVCA are those dealing with potential impacts of the development on water quality and the fact that if the development is approved as proposed, the capacity of the lake for development will be used up. None of the three or four other property owners on the lake will be able to create new building lots on their properties. Speaking for the developer, planner Peter Josephs said that by insisting that the septic systems on each of the 34 lots are built using recently approved technology the impact of phosphorous on the lake will be minimised, and the lake will be able to maintain a level of phosphorous under the provincial standard of 20 micrograms per litre. Other groups also made presentations raising concerns about the proposed condominium, including the North Frontenac Lake Associations Alliance, and the Malcolm and Ardoch Lake Association. Speaking for his family, Brian Schonauer talked about the decades-old cottages his family has put up on the other side of the lake, and said they might want to put up a few more at some point. Then he went further, introducing Gord Neilson

There are fewer than 10 cottages on Ardoch Lake now, but that could change dramatically if a 34 lot plan of vacant land condomium is approved. of Michalski Neilson, a environmental planning and lake capacity assessment company based in Bracebridge, Ont. In a detailed report, Gord Neilson questioned the target of 20 mirograms per litre of phosphorous in a lake that he described as “oligotrophic”. Oligotrophic lakes are prized for their “excellent water quality and clarity”. “Results of ministry-sponsored surveys show that Ardoch and Malcolm Lakes have low levels of phosphorous coming from natural sources, making them very clear as well ... the long-standing provincial water quality standard for oligotrophic lakes reads as follows: ‘A high level of protection against aesthetic deterioration will be provided by a total phosphorous concentration for the ice free period of 10[micrograms]/Litre or less. This should apply to all lakes naturally below this value.’” With the limited amount of development already existing on Ardoch Lake, the mean phosphorous concentration in testing between 2010 and 2013 is 6.8. Neilson also said that “The typical pattern for new shoreline development on small cottage-country lakes is through individual severances, which result in small, incremental changes in lake values ... Larger plans of subdivision or plans of condominium are often contemplated on large lakes, the size and flow characteristics of which provide considerable resiliency against the scale of such development. It is extremely unusual for an application to be advanced that would see an increase of 25% or more in the number of residential units on a lake, let alone the approximately 400% increase in this case.” Members of the public also expressed their concerns about the proposal, particularly because all of the calculations for impacts on the shoreline and water quality are based on seasonal use. However cottages do get four-season use. Peter Josephs said that the road that will be put in will not be ploughed in the winter, limiting the use of the resi-

ided by a donation of over $5,000 from a group called Groupies.com Community, Drew Cumpson’s Indiegogo campaign now stands at $37,638, enough so he will make the $35,000 he was seeking even after he pays the debit and website fees to Indiegogo. In a post marking the success of his campaign, Cumpson not only talked about the operation he is now working to organize, but also about making sure others who need a diaphragmatic pacemaker to help them breathe on their own can get one through the Ontario Health Insurance Program and not by having to launch fund-raising campaigns. “I have reached my goal of $35,000 and am now working towards trying to get things organized for the surgery. As someone who is setting out to improve the lives of others as well I plan to work towards getting this surgery covered by the government as it has been said to be available through them. One of the major things that I feel needs to come out of this is set all Canadian patients that meet the requirements for this surgery do not have to pay the large amount of costs associated with this. “Many ventilator dependent people are unable to speak as there are certain aspects of the ventilator that prevents you from speaking in some cases.” The Indiegogo campaign ended yesterday.

One who made a difference – Marilyn Crawford SINCE 1970
O
ver the weekend, Marilyn Crawford died after a battle with cancer. From what I’ve been told, she had been dealing with cancer for several years, but apparently was able to do some travelling with her husband and co-conspirator, Buddy. For those who don’t remember, she was a founding member of the Bedford Mining Alert and a major force in the revamping of the Ontario Mining Act as it is applied in Southern Ontario. She went on to become an activist for justice in mining, particularly the impacts of mining on women around the world, as a board member and co-chair of Mining Watch Canada in Ottawa. The truly amazing thing about changes to the Ontario Mining Act, which came about a few years ago, is that groups like the Bedford Mining Alert and people like Marilyn, Mary Louks, Maureen Towaij, Peter Griesbach and Frank and Gloria Morrison and others played a direct role in bringing about reform. It all started for Marilyn, and most of the others mentioned above, when they noticed that trees had been cut down, trenches had been dug and stakes were up all over their property. That’s when they found out that they did not own the subsurface rights to their properties. They also found out that the prospectors who had laid claim to the minerals underneath had a lot of rights to use the surface in order to access their mining claims. The first meeting of the Bedford Mining Alert took place in 2000. From that point on, the outrage they each felt turned into iron resolve. Everyone played their own role, and they did not always agree on tactics or even goals, but each of the people mentioned above was part of the change that took place. For her part, Marilyn Crawford studied the Ontario Mining Act. She became so well versed in the act that when ministry officials came to meetings in Bedford and elsewhere in Eastern Ontario, they found themselves being instructed on some of the details of the act as they defended ministry practices. When the mining act was changed, the initial goal of Bedford Mining Alert members, which was to protect the interests of landowners who did not own their subsurface rights, had been accomplished. Those lands cannot be staked any more. But long before those changes and others came in, Marilyn’s interests in the impact

of mining on individuals moved her in many new directions and brought depth to her politics. She was a resource person and a part of the struggle over uranium exploration in Algonquin and Land Claim territory in North Frontenac in 2007 and 2008. Although she initially used the resources of Mining Watch Canada, an Ottawa-based not-for-profit that works with groups in Canada and around the world to help with her own case and that of her neighbours, Marilyn ended up joining the board of Mining Watch and was co-chair between 2008 and her death last weekend. Ramsay Hart, the Canadian program director at Mining Watch, originally met Marilyn from the other side of a hiring table when he was being interviewed for the job he has held for five years. He said this week that, “Beyond her role as board member she has been a great resource person for me whenever I have had questions about the mining act. She was also a very caring and warm person and wanted to make sure that the staff were doing well.” He said that Marilyn developed educational material for schools around the Mining Act

about what she was looking to get out of a story in the Frontenac News. When I was looking for information, she was a resource. She always shared whatever she knew or pointed me in the right direction. And she was a lot of fun. She had a sense of humour about politics and about the internal politics of the people and groups she was involved with. Peter Griesbach, one of her first allies from the very beginnings of the Bedford Mining Alert, who went on to play a role with the Federation of Ontario Cottage Association and through them the Adivsory Panel on Changes to the Mining Act, put it this way: “Marilyn kept on with her mining rights activity long after many of us were done and had moved on to other things. I think she, and her husband Buddy - he played a role in everything she did, made a real difference - even though she was fighting cancer for a number of years.”

and made presentations to students. “She always took a strong interest in the various ways the mining industry is privileged over the people who live on the land that they use for its resources,” he said. This brought her attention to the plight of women and Aboriginal peoples around the world as they are subjected to international mining interests, a large issue, far removed from the interests of rural landowners in Southern Ontario. As a political activist, Marilyn could be hard on those she opposed, and even on those she was working with. She was always clear about the specific change she was seeking, and did not generally alter her goals in order to get along with others. Many of the people she worked with had their own agendas and strong personalities as well, so she could be a polarizing figure, and she made and lost friends along the way. My memories of Marilyn Crawford were of a mutual benefit situation. When she needed publicity for something, when she had a goal in mind, she called and was always upfront

In the “old days” prior to the 1970s, treatment consisted of dietary changes, lots of antacids and possibly even an operation. Today we know that most peptic ulcers are caused by the bacterium, H. Pylori. It Infects 1 In 4 people but most don’t get an ulcer. Those who do can be treated with antibiotics and a powerful acidreducer. No more bland diets or surgery today! Pharmacists are asked about the benefits of eating garlic or supplements to help certain ailments. Garlic has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years in India, China and Egypt. The current scientific evidence says it may possibly be effective for reducing high blood pressure, keeping arteries healthy, reducing the risk of colon, rectal and stomach cancer (if eaten raw). It is unlikely to help those with diabetes, peptic ulcers, high cholesterol or in preventing breast cancer. Some people say that garlic helps prevent the common cold. If it works for you, that’s great. There is not a lot of high quality evidence that this is so but the side effects are minimal if you take it. Our pharmacists can add a balanced perspective to many of the popular herbal treatments. There’s a lot of hype out there. We can add some common sense to it all! Consult your doctor, too.

• Despite last Thursday’s storm, which blew out phone and water lines, there was no stopping Northern Frontenac Community Services from hosting their Annual Community BBQ. With Director Don Amos and Chef Tim Cota manning the grills, everyone was treated to hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks and chips served on white Frisbees. There were pony rides, a bouncy castle, mini golf, tomahawk throwing and bingo where yours truly won a prize. Local bands entertained the well-attended event and everyone had a chance to go on a horse drawn wagon ride. This wonderful corporation provides our area with unique and varied services and never ask anything in return. Thanks, NFCS, from everyone in Central Frontenac. Congratulations also to Mike Procter on recently placing first in tomahawk throwing and taking home a trophy. • The August 30, 31 and Sept. 1 Labour day artisan tours will keep residents and guests busy.

The banning of smoking in public places is starting to see positive changes in many areas of healthcare. One benefit is a 10% drop in the rates of pre-term births and childhood asthma where smoking bans have been initiated. Unfortunately, only 16% of the people of the world are covered by these non-smoking laws and 40% of the world’s children are still exposed to second-hand smoke.

You can also contact me and I'll be happy to nominate the tree for you.
HENDERSON Jean Brown 613-336-2516 · It was wonderful to see an interview with our own Dallas Daisy Arney on the Kingston TV station this week. Dallas, who is named after an Allan Jackson song featuring her name, sang and talked of her life in music. She is inspired by God, her family memories and life events such as nursing home visits, and the world around her. We are so proud of Dallas, who writes all her own songs and has performed in Nashville, in Kingston with the Tragically Hip band at the Crystal Ball Gala Limestone District School Board fundraiser, and in Florida at Disney Land. As well she has sung at area nursing and funeral homes, churches, the Elvis festival, halls and entertainment venues, many jamborees and most recently, at the L&A County 150th celebrations on Aug. 22. She has recorded two albums and her second album, “Dallas is in Tennessee”, was recorded at Summit Sound studio in Westport. Dallas Daisy has also released a single titled “MADD” for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving organization. Some day, God willing we will see her name in lights. · Henderson Cemetery is now fenced in and a nuisance tree with a dead top on the road allowance was removed by our fabulous township, whom we thank from the bottom of our hearts. The local tree contractors are amazing and so very helpful. And of course, our famous road to Harlowe is a dream come true - so once again, thanks Central Frontenac for listening to us and responding. · Soon the school buses will be rumbling through our villages, so drive with caution everyone. · Glad to hear that Lucile Harper had a lot of fun when visiting our area.

North of 7 Community Day T
he brainchild of ecologist Gray Merriam of the Frontenac Stewardship Federation, the Community Day on Sat. Sept. 6 is an attempt to bring people together who live North of 7 in North Frontenac and Addington Highlands to talk about the landscape and watershed where they live, how they use it, what they value about it. By inviting guests to talk about various aspects of the land and waters, the community day will also allow for knowledge to be passed around. “Everyone is invited to this event,” said Merriam, “and there will be a lot to find out, but it is really those who live North of 7 that we want to see, because we need to talk to each other about what we have learned, what works here and what doesn't, even what we need to worry about and what we don't need to worry about.” Merriam has called in a few favours to bring a large number of guest presenters to the event to give a full picture of the region. The event is being held at the Barrie Hall in Cloyne and at the Pioneer Museum next door. It includes a timely chainsaw maintenance session presented by the Ontario Woodlot Association, which will include in-
by Jeff Green
formation about boosting forest value. The Pioneer Museum will be open from 10 until 3, and will be hosting a question and answer session all day. Among the people who will be available at the hall will be some who have made particular studies of the area, including geologist Dugald Carmichael and writer Orland French, who will talk about the origin of Benny's Pond. Jenny Pearce and Matt Ellerbeck will present local snakes and salamanders. Other presenters include: Leora Berman, Mat Mertins from the Mazinaw Lanark Forest, Guy Nason, Anne-Marie Young, Ron Pethick and more. In addition to all this, Debbie Deline's famous Dead Creek tarts and muffins will be available. For further information, call 613335-3589

C
lose to 80 guests attended the official opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of the newly expanded Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives in Napanee on August 22. Stephen Paul, director of community and development services with the county, emceed the event, which took place at the Court House Campus. County Warden and Mayor of Greater Napanee, Gord Schermerhorn, spoke of the building of the county courthouse and jail 150 years ago, followed by the registry office and the jailer’s house in 1891. Two years ago the county began a $5 million capital project in recognition of their 150th anniversary this year. The project included the expansion of the museum and archives along with a newly constructed garage to house the custodial and maintenance services for the county's 47 buildings and associated properties. Originally constructed in 1864 as the county jail, the museum and archives building was first retrofitted in 1974. The plans for
expanding the facility began in 2001 when the county hired the Ventin Group architects to complete an assessment of the building. It was then that the county began putting aside funds for the project. In the fall of 2011 a strategic priority setting exercise was conducted that identified the preservation of the county’s heritage as one of seven priorities. With the approaching 150th anniversary, the Ventin Group was rehired to complete the design for the expansion and in January 2013 the project was awarded to PEAK Engineering and Construction Ltd. The new addition to the museum and archive is approximately 10,000 square feet on two levels and includes a new glazed corridor entrance that links the addition to the elevator, which provides access to the second floor of the building. The reception area and the manager’s office were both renovated, and beyond them, a new lecture/multi-purpose room was built in previously unused courtyard space. Also located on the ground floor is a new research/reading room, an ar-
chivist’s office and an adjoined compact archival storage space. New washrooms were also built as well as a freight elevator that connects a receiving area with basement storage areas. The museum contains approximately 10,000 artifacts including toys, furniture, clothing, glass, ceramics, tools and household goods and the archives holds an extensive collection of documents as well as genealogical files. CAO Larry Keech aptly described the new addition as “understated” and while tasteful, spacious, and modern, it in no way overpowers the original feel of the heritage stone building due to the fact that the primary building materials used were limestone, glass, aluminum panels and natural wood. Keech thanked everyone involved in both projects, from the designers and builders to the county planning team and museum staff. The Lennox and Addington Historical Society is one of the oldest historical societies in Ontario and a brief history was given by its president, Jennifer Bunting. It unofficially began in 1885, the year of the United Empire Loyalist centennial, and was officially established in 1904.
Bunting spoke of Walter Stevens Harrington, who “was deeply moved by the Loyalist centennial” and wrote a book on the history of Lennox and Addington, collecting stories and documents from the children of the pioneers. In an effort to find a home for all of his documents, Harrington, along with Clarence Warner of Wilton, established the historical society. Following the official ribbon cutting, guests were invited into the building for a reception and to explore the many new displays, which included two exhibits commemorating the centennial of World War 1: “Fashions from the Home Front” and “The Empire Needs Men”. A third new exhibit highlighted the work of local painter Orval Madden. Also on display was an archival exhibit of photos and articles from the county's centennial celebrations in 1964. The 150th anniversary celebrations continued the following day, August 23 at the Court House Campus with live music by fiddle masters Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy as well as performances by Circus Orange and local musicians, which were well attended.

Passing on the legacy at W.A. Robinson and Associates The ribbon cutting was aided by Central Frontenac Mayor Janet Gutowski, who spoke about how the family businesses, under Wayne’s initiative and leadership, have had so much success and contributed so much to the local community. Long-time friend and colleague, Colleen Allison, spoke about Wayne’s legacy and history. Wayne is a graduate of Sharbot Lake High School and Queens University, and has had an extensive and diverse working career. Allison cited Wayne’s tendency to move on after every success to new endeavors. He was the first Matthew Robinson, Mayor Gutowski and Wayne Robinson.

he wet, cooler weather did not dampen the spirits of the participants of the 6th annual Mooks Fishing Derby on Aug 16. The derby is hosted by Roger & Sandra Meeks in memory of their son, Trevor. The participants fish on Skootamatta Lake, and this year’s winner was Michaela VanNess. Afterwards a fish fry/potluck dinner was held. We would like to send a huge thank you to the cooks, Gary Morrow and Dean Salmond, for once again a job well done. Also a huge thank you to everyone for supporting, donating silent auction items and helping with the organizing, setting up clean up, etc. Without you all this day would not be possible. As a result of everyone's generosity a total of $5270 was raised for Camp Oochigeas (cancer camp for kids). This was definitely a day that Trevor would be very proud of. Looking forward to seeing everyone at next year’s derby - Saturday, August 15, 2015.

grown from an initial $100,000 in investments to currently now over $140 million world-wide. Colleen Allison described Wayne as a “visionary and a problem solver” and as the “heart and soul of the corporation. She finished by wishing Wayne the best in his retirement. Wayne was then presented with a legacy plaque by Dawn Reiser and he thanked his family, friends and colleagues for giving him the opportunity not only to make a living in the community, but also to provide employment to many of its members and to support the local community in so many ways. Next, Bill Calvert, chair of the board of the Frontenac Mortgage Investment Corporation, introduced Matthew Robinson, the company’s new CEO. Matthew is a Queen’s University science graduate, an accredited real estate and mortgage broker, a chartered investment manager and portfolio manager. He has been the executive vice president at the company, and over the last three years has played a lead role in the multi-year succession and transformation plan at W.A Robinson Asset Management Ltd. Under Matthew’s direction staff teams at the company were strategically restructured and expanded; treasury management systems and regulatory requirements were refined and enhanced; and the lending policies, principles and procedures were also studied, advanced and refined. After being presented with an “Our Team” plaque that will be displayed in the building’s board room, the new CEO spoke briefly, citing his excitement over his new role. He said he believes he “won the lottery” on the day he was born. He spoke of the pride he takes in living and working in this special community and thanked his parents and the dedicated staff at the company. He said he was honored to be heading up the business and promised to “do his best to continue to build and grow the company.” Following the speeches guests were invited to enjoy refreshments and tours of the building.

Maberly and Parham Fairs flourish - continued from page 1 Sparking off the day’s events was the parade in which participants competed for multiple prizes, all donated by area businesses. The zucchini races as usual attracted a boisterous mob of onlookers who watched close to 40 zucchini car creators send their vehicles careening down the track created especially for the popular event. Spread out on site were a plethora of exhibits and live animals including the light horse events, the heavy and light horse draws, 4H Club live animal displays and demonstrations, a petting zoo, plus hundreds of traditional class competitions in the fair’s main hall, as well as a vendors’ alley complete with a psychic giving readings. The children’s games drew a motley crew of all ages and the outdoor stage area offered up a plethora of topnotch local entertainment for music lovers. For those who worked up an appetite, delicious fair food could be had at a reasonable price. Early in the day local musician Tony Leduc was presented with a brand new accessible van that was purchased through generous community donations. Fred Barrett, president of the Maberly Agricultural Society for his second consecutive year, was pleased with the turnout and said the aim of the fair is to bring the farming folk and city dwellers together to share in the agricultural history and traditions of the local community. “The original purpose of the fair was to spread farming knowledge and that still happens to some degree today. But other non-farmers also love to attend as well, especially people who have gardens and who make things like honey and maple syrup and who like to see how their products stand up. Today the fair is more about bringing the community together to celebrate, visit and have some fun since for many, the meetings that happen here often only happen once a year.” Barrett also mentioned that this year the society acquired a new lawn mower so that volunteers are now able to cut the over 100 acres of property themselves, which is a big money saver for the society. The 122nd Parham Fair took place on Friday and Saturday at the fairgrounds and though one day shorter this year it offered up popular events that continue to attract visitors. The midway is as always a huge draw for youngsters, as are the more traditional horse draws that took place in the main ring on a well attended Friday night opening. It wasn’t possible this year to hold the Sunday demolition derby, so the fair organizers opted to overhaul the main ring, replacing all of old sand with new sand and offering up new events like the demonstrations by the Tiny Hooves Miniature Horse Club who “celebrate the versatility of miniature horses”. Their demonstrations included jumping, cart driving,

halter classes and an obstacle course with 11 participants taking part. The main hall was filled with every kind of competitive class and one could spend hours there taking it all in. Numerous other activities were set up on site including a petting zoo, and contests for kids plus wagon rides and much more. This year organizers chose to highlight local entertainers. Up and coming local rockers HD Supply entertained on the main stage on Saturday afternoon and Shawn McCullough and bother Dave attracted a very sizable and appreciative crowd for the Saturday night closing show. I spoke with Wendy Parliament, co-president of Parham Agricultural Society this year, who said that due to high insurance costs the society decided to bring the fair back to its more traditional roots. While the decision was a tough one Parliament said she and her team decided to make the fair more interactive for families and visitors of all ages and events in the back corral this year included interactive and educational demonstrations by local farrier Jeff Atkinson, sheep shearing demos by Ross Creighton, old plough demonstrations by Fred Lloyd and an antique farm tool display, log sawing demos and contests headed up by Boyd Tryon. Parliament said that the focus of the fair this year was to
celebrate rural life. “We tired to look at what kinds of hobbies and interests local people here have and wanted to highlight that.” With that in mind vendors were not charged to set up a booth and show off their locally made wares. While local fairs these days are having a challenge to make ends meet, it is encouraging to see these two local agricultural societies making what they feel are necessary changes in order to keep the fairs alive. Hats off to them and to all of the volunteers who continue to put a traditional and agricultural focus on these special annual events, which attract so many visitors

Horse in KFL&A region confirmed to have Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus
K
FL&A Public Health has been notified of several cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus (EEEV) in horses in this area. One horse has tested positive for EEEV and there are two other suspect cases in horses nearby, indicating that EEEV is circulating in mosquitoes in the KFL&A region. In addition, infected horses have been found in the areas east of Kingston. EEEV is normally found in wild birds but can be transmitted to humans and horses through the bite of an infected mosquito. While most individuals infected with EEEV will either have no symptoms or mild symptoms, severe cases of infection may result in encephalitis (swelling of the brain). “Although there has never been a reported human case of eastern equine encephalitis in Ontario, it can be a very serious infection in some people,” said Dr. Ian Gemmill, medical officer of health for KFL&A Public Health. “We urge all residents to protect themselves against
mosquito bites. This precaution will help to prevent this and other infections, such as West Nile virus.”

Notice of Public Meeting Concerning a Proposed Frontenac County Official Plan
Take notice that the Corporation of the County of Frontenac will hold a public meeting on Monday, September 22, 2014 commencing at 6:00 p.m., at the Verona Lions Hall, 4505 Verona Sand Road, Verona, Ontario to consider a new Official Plan under Section 17 of the Planning Act. In December, 2011, the Council of the County of Frontenac initiated the process of developing the first draft of an Official Plan. Section 16(1) of the Planning Act indicates in part that “an Official Plan shall contain goals, objectives and policies established primarily to manage and direct physical change and the effects on the social, economic and natural environment of the municipality.” The Frontenac County Official Plan is intended to create a framework for guiding land use changes in the County over the next 20 years by protecting and managing the natural environment, directing and influencing growth patterns and establishing the vision of the County as expressed through its residents. This Plan also provides the avenue through which the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) is applied to the local context. The Plan is also a major cornerstone in the implementation of Directions for Our Future, the County’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. The proposed new Official Plan applies to the entire County. Given that the four lower-tier municipalities (Townships) in the County already have Official Plans, it is not the intent of the County Official Plan to deal with land uses and policy issues that should much more properly be dealt with in the context of the Township Official Plans. The structure of the County Official Plan is based on six sustainability themes. Each of the themes is developed to function as part of the building blocks that encourage a sustainable balance between the economy, community building, and the environment. The six major themes are described below: The Economic Sustainability theme highlights the natural resources of the Frontenacs and the best management practices for developing and managing those resources for future use. This theme also covers the built economy and how economic practices of commercial, tourism, and industrial type development should take place. Trying to develop a strong and diverse economy in Frontenac County is a major component of these building blocks. The Growth Management theme deals with future residential development in the County, using the County-wide growth projections as a starting point. This section includes policies to support existing hamlets and new development in rural and waterfront areas. Community Building aims to encourage the development of our community through interaction, collaboration, and cohesiveness. This includes supporting a regional road system, trail development, and ideas for pedestrian movement and rural transit – all of these issues are essential to strengthening both communities and the strength of the economy. Housing and Social Services focuses on key regional housing issues that are recognized in the Kingston-Frontenac County Municipal Housing Strategy and which are especially important over the long term to the rural area, including seniors housing and affordable housing. The Heritage and Culture theme encourages identification and conservation of cultural heritage resources that are valued for the important contribution that they make to our understanding of the history of places, events, or people in the Frontenacs. This theme also includes policies with regard to the Algonquin Land Claim which covers a large portion of the north and central part of the County and which will result in a variety of potential land use changes in the future. The Environmental Sustainability theme identifies significant natural areas that need to be protected and managed to form a basis for future land use decisions. A level of protection for the environment is required under Provincial policy to ensure development is sustainable to ensure a healthy and high quality of life for existing and future residents of the County. Appropriate policies for each sustainability theme are included in the Plan to ensure all aspects necessary for a healthy community are protected, managed and made available to existing and future residents. Any person may attend the public meeting and make written and/or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed amendments. Written submissions can be sent to the County Clerk’s Office (address below) before the proposed Official Plan is adopted by Frontenac County Council and will also form part of the public record.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the County of Frontenac before the proposed Official Plan is adopted by Frontenac County Council, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on the Official Plan to the Ontario Municipal Board.
Tenders must be submitted in the prescribed form and must be accompanied by a deposit in the form of a money order or of a bank draft or cheque certified by a bank or trust corporation payable to the municipality and representing at least 20 per cent of the tender amount.
If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions to the County of Frontenac before the proposed Official Plan is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.
Except as follows, the municipality makes no representation regarding the title to or any other matters relating to the land to be sold. Responsibility for ascertaining these matters rests with the potential purchasers.
If you wish to be notified of County Council’s adoption of the proposed Official Plan, you must make a written request to the Clerk at the address cited below.
This sale is governed by the Municipal Act, 2001 and the Municipal Tax Sales Rules made under that Act. The successful purchaser will be required to pay the amount tendered plus accumulated taxes, the relevant land transfer tax, and HST, if applicable.

Loving wife of David (Buddy) Crawford, survived by her father Leonard Bailey and predeceased by mother Janet McDonald Bailey. Mother of Jennifer Doyle (Timothy) of Nanaimo, BC and Allison of Toronto, ON. Sister of Jim (Ellen) and Brian (Colleen). Proud Grandmother to Hanna, Brady and Ryder Doyle. Sister-in-law to Penny (Dave) Robinson and Gregg (Nancy Whitehead) Crawford. Aunt to Jesse (Carrie) Crawford, Sarah Robinson, Matt (Bethany) Robinson, Daniel (Andrea) Bailey, Gwen Bailey and Megan (Arthur Blaxley) Bailey. Our family would like to thank the caring and supportive team of doctors, nurses and caregivers including Dr. Bob Van Noppen, Dr. Siemens, Dr. Viola, Dr. Biagi and Nurse Lou Abella and the pharmacists of Pharma Care in Perth, ON. She will be remembered and sadly missed by many friends and colleagues from across the world. Marilyn was many things to many people. In addition to being an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and friend; she was also a world traveler who continued to explore the globe late into the end of her amazing life, seizing every opportunity for new adventures and learning. Marilyn's teaching career included elementary and secondary appointments for the Upper Canada School Board in Kemptville, Ontario as well as spending two years teaching abroad with her family in Alice Springs, Australia. Marilyn was an artist, a musician and an activist for environmental rights and some of the many groups and organizations in which she was involved include: Mining Watch Canada, Bedford Mining Alert, Friends of Foley Mountain and Heart to Heart. Her spirit remains strong at Green Lake in Burridge, Ontario where she welcomed everyone into her home with open arms. Our family would like to invite friends to a Celebration of Marilyn's Life on Saturday August 30th, 2pm-4pm at the Althorpe Bolingbroke Community Hall (ABC Hall) located at 3166 Bolingbroke Road. If anyone would like to make a donation in Marilyn's memory, Mining Watch Canada is an organization Marilyn was deeply passionate about.
Forever Remembered, Forever Missed Love, Your Friend Sharon
Smith In memory of my beloved mother, Joyce Smith, who left her earthly home for her heavenly one on August 24, 2013 to join her husband, Fred and her son, Kenneth. We miss you so very much. Love, your daughter Marilyn and family.
OBITUARY
Sharman, Gary We are so sad to tell you that Gary Sharman passed away peacefully on August 23, 2014 at the age of 69. He faced his death with courage and dignity and his unique sense of humour. He was surrounded by love from his family. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at KGH emergency especially Patti, who was such a blessing to us. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Penny and his daughters Jen (Chris Mercer) and Beth (Mike Bastos), four amazing grandchildren, Jesse, Hayden, Destiny and Gage and his brother Lanny (Shirley and their daughter Michelle and her family). Gary will be cremated and there will be a celebration of his life at the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area Outdoor Centre located at 1641 Perth Road (Division Street), Kingston (just north of Division and 401) on August 28th, 2014; ceremony will start at 2:00 p.m., followed by light refreshments. No flowers please - Gary hated funeral flowers. For those who wish, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation or U.H.K.F. Kingston General Hospital would be appreciated. Please feel free to dress casually. Anyone who knew Gary knows what he thought about suits and ties. In fact, you know he would think plaid or flannel would be really fitting.

A
century ago, thousands of Kingston and Frontenac County soldiers and other personnel enlisted in the Great War, while their families and friends waited anxiously at home for news of them. These people lived in your town, in your neighbourhood, and maybe even in your home. This fall, Kingston Frontenac Public Library will mark the anniversary of this worldchanging event with a series of programs and activities called Home Town, Home Front: Kingston-Frontenac in World War 1. • HOME TOWN, HOME FRONT POSTCARD PROJECT: Starting in September, a very special postcard will be sent to each of about 350 Kingston-Frontenac households. Each card will contain the name of a soldier or nursing sister whose family once lived in that house. Who were those former residents? And what happened to them? The postcard will invite the current resident to find out. By following some easy steps on the KFPL website, or by contacting the library, the resident can discover details about the enlisted person, including his or her occupation, physical appearance, next-of-kin information and fate. Since street addresses were rarely provided by those who enlisted from smaller towns and villages, interested residents of those communities are asked to contact the library in order to obtain their postcards. Any resident—rural or urban—who does not receive a postcard is warmly invited to request the name of a soldier or nursing sister to research. • Lucy Maud Montgomery's Home Front: Monday, September 15, 1 p.m., Sydenham Branch Lucy Maud Montgomery’s writing was heavily influenced by the Great War and its effect on the lives of women and those who stayed behind. Join Laura Robinson and Debra DeGagne for a conversation about life on the Canadian home front, with a special focus on this beloved Canadian icon and author of Anne of Green Gables. Refreshments will be served. These events require free registration. Registration opens on Saturday, September 6, at 9 a.m.

Project enhances fish habitat on Dalhousie Lake
S
everal conservation partners are working together to enhance fish habitat on the Mississippi Watershed. Two walleye spawning beds will be enhanced and fish habitat structures in the form of tree/brush bundles will be placed in Dalhousie Lake. As well, 10 shoreline properties will be stabilized where runoff, erosion, vegetation removal and nutrient loading have affected fish habitat. Partners include the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW), Lanark County Stewardship Council, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Dalhousie Lake Association and Lanark & District Fish & Game Conservation Club, along with cooperation from Lanark County, Lanark Highlands and landowners around the lake. Native species planting is planned for Dalhousie, Canonto and Patterson lakes, with shoreline vegetation to provide shading and a runoff buffer to promote spawning and rearing habitats and increase productivity for warmwater fish species such as walleye, smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, crappie and panfish. Work on the spawning beds is tentatively scheduled for Friday, Sept. 12 at the Lavant Mill Road Bridge at the west end of Dalhousie Lake. The bridge will be closed for the day. On Sat. Sept. 13, the southbound lane of the bridge at County Road 8 at the east end of Dalhousie Lake will be closed. A large crane will be used at both bridges to lift buckets of river stone to enhance the walleye spawning beds.

Scarlet Jane at the Crossing M any of the bands who perform at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn do so at the beginning of a tour, or in between shows in larger venues in Montreal, Toronto, or Ottawa. This makes for an informal show, and the performers can take a few chances and allow for the odd mistake, which sometimes results in some special moments on stage. Scarlet Jane is a duo made up of Cindy Doire and Andrea Ramolo, with a small but powerful backing band, Sarah Featherstone on fiddle, and their own boots as drums. Listening to some of the tunes on Youtube before the show, I had a feeling they are on a search for a commercial identity, always a tricky business for musicians. Arriving just before the second set I did

not know what to expect, except for a heads up from Frank White of the Country Inn who was pretty excited about the show after hearing the sound check in the afternoon. Instead of Scarlet Jane, the set began with Sarah Featherstone playing three songs on solo harp, an unexpected treat. She even referenced the first time she played in this part of the world, at one of the most emotional sets in the history of the Blue Skies Festival, which is just up the K&P trail from the Country Inn. It was a memorial show for Harbord Trio harpist Kelly McGowan a few weeks after her death. Featherstone sat in for McGowan with McGowan's husband Don Ross on guitar and Oliver Shroer on fiddle (Shroer has since also died).

There wasn't a dry eye in the crowd on that August night in 2003, and Featherstone brought some of that emotion back by playing a Don Ross composition she has arranged for harp. Scarlet Jane took the stage next, and they also brought a lot of emotion to their performance. What was lacking in the polish of the recorded version of their songs was more than covered over by the harmonies they put on and the interplay of their guitars. In live performance the songs were vignettes, memorable stories. The audience responded, calling for encores at the end, and were treated to an Italian folk tune, an unexpected but pleasant and well received surprise, just like Scarlet Jane. Go see them whenever they return to this part of the country.

Abrams Brothers at Snow Road
by Julie Druker t was not only the brothers, John and James, but three generations of the Abrams family who entertained the capacity crowd at the John Thomson Hall in Snow Road at their concert on August 24. The brothers' grand parents, Wayne and Mary Abrams, opened the show and were joined by their son Brian (father of the brothers); together they demonstrated the family's musical heritage, which is probably a huge part of why the Abrams brothers are such apt musicians and also two fine young gentlemen. The concert is always a stellar musical treat and one immediately gets a sense that the family enjoys putting on the show as much as the audience revels in it. The music is old style country/ blue grass/gospel with John on vocals and guitar, James on fiddle and vocals huddling around a single microphone, each member of the band edging in carefully, making perfect harmonies and with the instruments taking their solo turns showing off their incredible skills. The brothers and family were joined by accomplished banjo player Glenn MacDonald, who also contributed back up vocals, and later in the show by bass player Jason Mercer, both of whom are talented and solid players. The brothers are truly amazing musicians, James more wild and wily on the fiddle, John more grounded and straight ahead on the guitar but with the two together demonstrating how growing up as the fourth generation in a musical family definitely can have its benefits and rewards. They put on a great
I
show and judging by the applause in the hall their performance was more than well received. In the second half of the show they introduced a special guest, Catherine Helferty from Kingston, who goes to church with the family and is the music director there, and who sang several stellar pieces. I spoke to the brothers during the break and both said they love playing to the home town crowd. John said “It is completely relaxed and a great opportunity to get back to our roots and to play exactly how we started playing music in the first place.” James added, “We love to be able to play with three generations of the family and love the community here and the sense of family it brings.” Currently the brothers are recording a new CD in Toronto with producer Gavin Brown who also produced The Bare Naked Ladies, The Tragically Hip, Billy Talent and Metric among others. John said the new record will be all originals with a focus on roots but also fused with pop and rock elements. The brothers have been touring steadily for the past two years in the US and have played also in the England and in Europe. Both are also studying at Queens University, James, biology and John, English and film. They will be playing on August 29 at the Canadian National exhibition (CNE) in Toronto. Funds raised at the concert will benefit the All Creatures Great and Small Animal Rescue, which was recently taken over by Tanya and Brian Abrams. After the Snow Road concert there was a surprise event - an Ice Bucket Challenge that doused Brian, James and John, except that this bucket was no small cooler of water but the huge bucket of Dale Gemmill's front end loader.

NFCS Community BBQ O
n Aug. 21, staff of Northern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS) put on their annual community family BBQ at Oso beach in Sharbot Lake as a way to thank the community for their support. As usual, Don Amos, executive director of NFCS, manned the barbeque as guests enjoyed the free dinner, live music, a petting zoo, bouncy castles, pony and wagon rides, face painting and more. Amos said that the organization and the community make up what he terms as “a true community partnership. .. Without the community who rally around us every year and enable us to do what we do, we would not be here. We hold this event every year as our small way of giving back to the community and saying thank you.” Valerie Wedden and Norm Herns provided

free musical entertainment and were joined by talented local fiddler, Valerie’s daughter Jessica, who treated the crowd to an electrifying version of the Orange Blossom Special and other musical numbers. Staff, board members and a number of adult and youth volunteers numbering close to 30, helped organize another great community gathering that was enjoyed by all. Amos said that this year staff made a special effort to include activities that offered something for everyone. “That is what our agency is about, offering services to all of the different types of people in the community and the people that we are seeing here today really reflect that.” Amos thanked the staff for all of their hard work for the event, which takes over a month and half to plan.
