Vandewal wins closely fought mayor’s race in South Frontenac

Sutherland, Schjerning new in Loughborough; McDougall and Robinson return in Portland by Jeff Green on Vandewal said he was not totally surprised that the election between himself and Allan McPhail ended up being a close race. “Although I did think it might have been a bit farther apart, I also know that while I was campaigning a lot of people said ‘Al’s done a pretty good job on Council and you’ve done a pretty good job on council, so I’m happy either way.’ I think the final vote Ron Vandewal reflected some of that.” The finally tally was: Vandewal – 3048 (47%), McPhail – 2780 (43%) and John McEwen 552 (8.5%). There were 67 (1%) spoiled ballots. The spoiled ballots, explained CAO Wayne Orr, came from voters who logged in and voted, but did not choose any candidate for a particular position. Thirty-six percent of the electorate voted for mayor, down about 5% from 2010. “I will say this about the race,” said Vandewal, “between Al, John and myself it was a

clean race. None of us did or said anything to discredit the other candidates.” He said that when he looks at the slate of councilors he will be working with, and only three of the eight are currently sitting on council, he thinks it will be a good group to work with. “I do know some of them, at least a little bit, and I think they will see that the township is well run, and we have a good, solid staff in place. But there are always ways to fine tune things. I think we’ll do ok.” He said that one of his main goals is to ensure that it is Council that sets the priorities for the township. “I have no problem with staff giving us direction but if we let them have all the control over what happens then we can only blame ourselves if we don’t like what is happening,” he said. Loughborough The race in Loughborough district was the most competitive, with six candidates vying for two vacant council positions. A number of candidates braved the back roads to pound on doors over the summer and early fall, and in the case of Ross Sutherland it seems to have paid off. He led all candidates by a huge margin, receiving 1151 votes. The race for second spot was exceedingly tight, with Mark Schjerning nudging out Fran Willes by a mere four votes, 688 to 684. Dave Plumpton was a bit behind with 609. Fifth place candidate Stephen Bach also received significant support at 551 votes, and Terry Thake rounded out

Incumbents thrashed in Central Frontenac by Jeff Green

f the seven incumbents running for reelection in Central Frontenac this time around, only two won. In the mayor’s race, Frances Smith made the switch from Oso (ward 3) councilor to mayor in a convincing victory over two-time incumbent Janet Gutowski, by 1996 votes to 1083. That was just the start of the changes. Tom Dewey won re-election in Kennebec (ward 1) receiving 388 votes, good enough for first place, but just behind him was firsttime candidate Cindy Kelsey at 375 votes, 20 votes ahead of Jeff Matson (355), who went down to defeat after two terms on Council. Logan Murray finished in 4th place with 237 votes. The tight race in Kennebec was nothing new. Eight years ago Matson won his first term on Council by defeating then incumbent Logan Murray by only four votes. In Olden, two-term incumbent Norm Guntensperger did not seek re-election, but two term councilor John Purdon finished in fourth place with only 224 votes. Jamie Riddell was elected, leading with 309 votes, and Victor Heese was close behind with 291 to win the second council seat. Cory Thompson finished 3rd with 227 votes and Justin Gray received 112 votes. In this race Riddell, Heese and Thompson were very active in campaigning, going door to door throughout the campaign, and it seems to have paid off at the e-ballot box. In Oso (ward 3) incumbent Wayne Millar finished third with 323 votes. Bill MacDonald, former mayor and former provincial Liberal party candidate, made a successful return to township politics after eight years with 508 votes. The second council seat went to a complete newcomer to township politics, Sherry Whan, with 388 votes. Dennis Scott and Bob Olmstead rounded out the field with 190 and 182 votes respectively. Finally, in Hinchinbrooke (ward 4), one seat

has been a given throughout the township’s history as long as Bill Snyder was alive, and the other has been held by a different person after every election since the founding of the township in 1998. This time around incumbent Heather Fox went down to defeat, while Phillip Smith, who lost the election in 2010 but was appointed to council when Bill Snyder died at the beginning of the year, topped all candidates with 349 votes. Newcomer Brent Cameron won the second seat with 334 votes. Heather Fox was 14 votes behind with 320, and Sharon Shepherd right behind at 313. Jim Lowery received 204 votes. When contacted the day after the election, Frances Smith was happy about winning, but the reality of the responsibility that comes with being mayor was kicking in. “We are go- Frances Smith ing to have to get very busy,” she said, “we have to hire a Chief Administrative Officer [CAO] and a Public Works Manager as soon as possible. I talked to our CAO Larry Donaldson and arranged to meet him tomorrow for a briefing but he is leaving the next day. We are lucky to have Steve Silver coming in as an interim CAO but he won’t want to stay very long. And we need a public works manager as soon as possible,” she said. The other issue on the top of the agenda will be policing costs, but in that case Smith

Henry Hogg wins fifth term in Addington Highlands by Jeff Green he biggest news in this election in Addington Highlands came on Tuesday, after all the votes had been counted. While it was no surprise that Henry Hogg won reelection handHenry Hogg ily, receiving 923 votes to 363 for Gerald Bray, it was what he said afterwards that is the real news. “My planning is that I am not going to keep my election signs.” he said, signalling that this will be his last term as reeve.

His greatest concern looking forward to the next four years is policing costs. “We are looking at an increase of almost $100,000 this year and next year again, and a smaller increase in 2017. That will stop us in our tracks from planning to move the township forward. I campaigned in Weslemkoon Lake during the election. There are dozens of water access cottages there. All

around to see them. A visibly pleased Higgins had won more than double the votes of his rival Claudio Valentini (1359 to 630) and explained the numbers this way. “I think the outcome was the result of how I presented myself at the candidates’ meeting and also a result of the votes I received as the recognized chair of the North Frontenac Lake Association,” he said. “I think that internet and phone voting got me a lot of support from cottagers and other seasonal residents in the township.” Higgins said that the large spread in the numbers did not surprise him. “They are pretty much what I expected when I was out campaigning and represent what I was hearing from the voters.”

Limestone Board: Karen McGregor wins northern seat, Suzanne Rut-

tan keeps Lindsay Davidson at bay in South Frontenac by Jeff Green

aren McGregor was very nervous as she joined the crowd at the Oso Hall waiting for the election results in Central Frontenac, and the fact the results did not come in until after 9 p.m. did not help matters much. “How will we know the results from the other townships? Do I have to wait all night and phone around tomorrow morning?” she wondered. “I don’t think I could take that.” She needn’t have worried. The results for the Limestone Board election from North Frontenac and Addington Highlands were submitted to Central Frontenac, so when CAO Larry Donaldson read out the results, he said, “These are the compiled results of all the votes.” McGregor looked relieved but then came the moment of truth. The totals for the two other candidates were announced first. Dave Kendall received 994 votes, Steve Magee 1057, and Karen McGregor ... 2748. McGregor’s local knowledge was well received in all three townships, and her numbers in her home township were overwhelming. She received 1530 votes to 458 for each of her opponents in Central Frontenac alone.

North Frontenac - continued from page 1 Higgins planned to head home and crack open a bottle of champagne with his wife Wendy. As far as getting down to business, he said that he looks forward to meeting with the new council and will be reviewing the plan that he has already outlined on his website, one that he hopes to implement right away. “I want to look at and strengthen the strategic plan, and make sure that our objectives are aligned with the administration’s. I also plan to put in place performance indicators and will also be focusing on communicating with the community a lot more than what has been the norm in the past.” Claudio Valentini took his loss in stride and also put a positive spin on the outcomes for the candidates for council. “I feel glad it’s over knowing that I gave it my best shot. And I am certainly glad to see that Denis Bedard and Vernon (Mickey) Hermer got in because we had been working

Thank You I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one who took the time to vote in the 2014 municipal election. Most of all I would like thank those in Ward 2 of North Frontenac who voted for me; giving me a four year mandate to serve as your representative on council.

McGregor will replace retiring incumbent Ann Goodfellow as the northern rep on the board. The race for the northern seat was a polite affair, with candidates agreeing with each other on most issues during the numerous debates, but South Frontenac was another story altogether. Incumbent Suzanne Ruttan was challenged by Lindsay Davidson on a number of fronts. Davidson charged that Ruttan was too much of an education insider to fight for the interests of South Frontenac residents. For her part Ruttan said that she did not think that someone who had initiated court proceedings against the board would be a viable candidate to sit on that board at the same time. (Lindsay Davidson is one of a group who have asked for a judicial review of the decision to close two secondary schools in Kingston and build a new one at an as yet undetermined location) The third candidate, Lynda Hawn, struggled to receive much attention in the face of what ended up being a pitched battle between the two front runners. together as a group and we have the same shared ideas and a shared view of the new direction that council should take.” Valentini said he plans to continue working on three different occupations that he has been recently neglecting, namely running his airport, operating his own software business and writing music. The results for councilors were equally dramatic. In Ward 2, Betty Hunter was emotional after receiving 372 votes, and losing her position as councilor by just five votes to secondplace finisher Vernon Hermer, who received 377. Gerry Martin garnered 549 votes. In Ward 1 Fred Perry came out on top with 537 votes, with Wayne Good taking the second place position with 403 and Lonnie Watkins losing out with just 300 votes. In Ward 3 John Inglis was re-elected with 419 votes and will be joined on council by newcomer Denis Bedard, who won 312 votes. Fred Fowler lost in a close race with a total of 289 votes. The new Council will feature a first time mayor and a mix of four experienced councillors, and two first time politicians.

Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board – Procter returns It took until almost noon the next day before the results for the ALCDSB Frontenac County trustee race between longserving member Wendy Procter and Harrowsmith Catholic School Council member Jodi Cameron were announced. Procter held off Cameron by 26 votes, 388 to 362. Her margin in North and Central Frontenac outstripped the 30vote lead that Cameron had built up in South Frontenac, where she received 250 votes to 220 for Procter.

Addington Highlands

those people are already paying policing costs where they live year-round, and they will be paying a large share here as well. And what kind of service are they going to get on the water?” he asked. Although he recognises it will be an uphill battle, “We have to look at doing something to address this, but to be honest I’m not sure what we can do. But we can’t ignore it.” Another change that is coming to the township is the impending retirement of Clerk/Treasurer Jack Pauhl, who has been with Addington Highlands since amalgamation and with Denbigh township for 23 years before that. “I’ve known this day was coming ever since amalgamation, and fortunately we put a succession plan in place a couple years ago. Deputy Clerk Christine Reed will be taking Jack’s position for the new council. That will be a change for all of us,” Hogg said. “There are always issues coming forward, and budgeting is difficult, as are county issues, ambulance issues, etc.” he added. Ward 1 (Denbigh) Tony Fritsch led all vote-getters with 373, to be returned for a second time. Kirby Thompson won the other position with 321 votes, just 19 ahead of former councilor, Eythel Grant. Alice Madigan finished fourth with 247 votes. Ward 2 (Kaladar) saw the acclamation of incumbents Bill Cox and Helen Yanch. Because Henry Hogg lives in Ward 1, an Addington Highlands bylaw sets out that the deputy reeve, and second Lennox and Addington County Council representative, will be the councilor from ward 2 who receives the most votes. Because they were both acclaimed, Yanch and Cox are effectively tied in public support. Seeing this possibility a couple of weeks ago, Cox proposed that a coin toss would be the best way to settle who will serve in the position under this scenario, and Council agreed.

indsay Mills said on Tuesday that he is ready to recommend that South Frontenac politicians vote in favour of approving the Frontenac County Official Plan. Mills, who is the head of the South Frontenac Planning department, attended what he described as an “excellent” meeting between Frontenac township chief administrators, planning departments, county staff and senior officials from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on Thursday, October 23. However, on Monday of this week he added that he needed to see the proposed changes to the plan that resulted from the meeting. When contacted again on Tuesday, after seeing the changes, he said that most of the “drop dead requirements for changes” that his department had identified had been made and he thinks South Frontenac can live with the document.

· The Kennebec Rec. Committee thanks everyone who brought their children/grandchildren to the Halloween Party last Saturday. There were approximately 25 kids ranging in ages from 4 months to 15 years. The Haunted Houses were spectacular, featuring ghosts, an autopsy table, black lights, fog and weird stuff to walk through. Thanks to all the volunteers. The lunch and homemade cookies were great and the costumes were spectacular. Hope to do it all again next year. · The Arden Glee Club has been very busy this past month entertaining residents at Fairmount Home in Glenburnie, Hastings Manor in Belleville and St. Mary’s on the Lake in Kingston.

· Last week the Kennebec Community Centre was gifted with a new 30” new fridge from the one and only “Smitty" of Smitty’s Appliances. Smitty and his helper Art Tyron delivered the fridge Friday afternoon, with the recreation committee executive present. As most people in Eastern Ontario know, this man is very generous to most not-for-profit organizations. From everyone who uses the hall, thank you Smitty, for your generosity!!

Jean Brown 613-336-2516 · Folks are hunting with bullets, arrows, black powder, sling shots and really enjoying all the home cooked foods accompanied by family time. Another large hunting class graduated and the weather is co-operating for the hunt and the classes. Hunt safely, folks. Unfortunately, reports on Facebook point to cats being shot in the area, so that is disturbing. · Our Pine Meadow folks continue to “rock on” as their addition gets closer to completion. In November two trips are planned: one to Wheelers and another to Christmas shop. The miniature horses visited, to the delight of the residents, and the Land O' Lakes Garden Club cleaned up their very well maintained gardens at Pine Meadow and the area. · Comings and goings to the area included Bill and Sharon MacDonald, plus many guests to attend the Harlowe Wesleyan and Standard spiritual musical time with well known singer Rhonda Spurell. Rhonda, who lives in Verona, has been offering music ministry and evangelizing for many years, having also sung with Bill and Gloria Gaither, the Gaither Vocal Band, the Talleys, the Hoppers, Russ Taff, Michael English and many more. As she travels and ministers, Rhonda shares her testimony of living with a neurological condition that can impair muscle function and speech. To think that Rhonda can travel and minister with this challenge is genuinely a tribute to God. Her testimony of how God has brought her through all the different medical procedures and continues to use her is quite inspiring and adds to the miracle power of God to strengthen. · Be sure to turn your clocks back one hour this Sat. eve. · Trick or treaters will abound on Friday evening so please drive carefully and watch out for the little ghosts and goblins who will surely delight us with their presence. · Spill the Beans Coffee Shop in Northbrook offered a musical fund raising tribute to the late Bob Goodberry, providing an opportunity for folks to remember Bob and to contribute to the funeral expenses. Some of Bob's CDs are for sale at the coffee shop but are being grabbed up quickly. I bought one and really enjoy the harmony, lyrics, and setting.

(613) 336-1608 People with heart conditions are at a greater risk of dying from the flu than those with any other chronic condition. They have a greater chance of having complications from the flu so it’s important to have that layer of protection that the flu shot provides. Flu shot time is here. Our pharmacy will be holding flu shot clinics on Friday afternoon Oct. 30, and Thursday afternoons Nov. 6, 13, and 27. Ever wonder why we link colds with cold weather? Our mothers always told us to “button up … or you’ll catch a cold”. The cold is caused by a virus, not cold weather. Colds are more common in winter because people spend more time indoors, living closer together, giving the virus a better chance to spread. Frequent hand washing will minimize that spread. To get the most of your time in your doctor’s office, be prepared. Make a list of symptoms regarding your problem, including what it is, when it occurs, for how long and how often and anything you’ve tried that helps or worsens the problem. Bring your medication list as well. These ideas help you and help your doctor to help you better!

The pipeline containing new antibiotics is rather uncrowded right now even though the Infectious Disease Society of America urged researchers to come up with at least 10 new antibiotics by 2020.

by Nina Jenkins hings are a-buzz on the stage at Granite Ridge Education Centre on Tuesday and Thursday evenings as children and adults of North Frontenac Little Theatre prepare to stage their first production, Aladdin, in the new facility. Those involved are pleased to be working on a nicer, deeper stage and are getting used to working in the new space. Members of the theatre group are appreciative of the working relationship with the school administration and staff and the school board for allowing us to use the space to provide community entertainment to the surrounding areas. Brian Robertson, who is directing this play, is pleased to have permission to include a stage extension to provide for scenes to be done in front of the curtain while a scene is being set up behind. Jeff Siamon assisted with installing it in the cafetorium. For the first production at GREC, the theatre group has chosen the play Aladdin, a family type show with broad audience appeal, which involves young children, teens and adults. Robertson, who has directed many such plays while teaching at Land O' Lakes School, is very pleased with how rehearsals are going. The show has a lot of music and dance and so requires a good amount of practising “to get it right”. Assisting Robertson is Andrea Dickinson who works with six of the youngest actors/ dancers arranging choreography, practising lines and preparing costumes for them. Basically, she is responsible for the part of the show involving the young actors and it is amazing the progress these young people are making. Dickinson has been involved with a number of NFLT shows, most recently in My Narrator. Also doing choreography with the other actors is Tim White who has a background in dance. Jeff Siamon now has the theatre lights installed and is grateful for the use of the “genie lift”, which allows him to reach the high ceiling to position and manipulate the lights. The process of setting up the lights to get them where you want them takes time and patience. Siamon has used a general placement of the lights which can be used not only for this play but for future plays and school activities with some minor adjustments. He is now concentrating on fine tuning the lighting for this show. We are happy that Andrea Jones, a newly retired elementary school teacher, is sharing her talents and is teaching the songs for the show. The songs are tricky with a lot of words and she is pleased with the progress of the actors, especially the young ones. Rounding out the music for the show will be Gary Giller on Bass, Sandy Robertson on flute and John Inglis on piano. Set design and construction is being done, once again, by Peter Platenius, Donna Larocque and Martina Field. Peter says that he is pleased with the space in the wings of the stage and is adjusting to the new space. Sally Angle, house manager, is busy planning on how to set up the “house” and is planning for placement of the ticket table and refreshment site. Costumes are being prepared by Peggy Muldoon who is busy finding the appropriate pieces, altering, embellishing and fitting them for each actor. John Pariselli and Nina Jenkins are co-producers for the show. Aladdin will be presented at Granite Ridge Education Centre Thurs. Fri. & Sat. Nov 2729 at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 1:30.

harbot Lake and District Lions president Bill Zwier welcomed the over 100 seniors who gathered at the Land O' Lakes Public School in Mountain Grove on October 22 for the 38th rendition of their annual Seniors Night. The event, which is sponsored by W. A. Robinson Asset Management Ltd. of Sharbot Lake, buses in seniors from the townships of Central and North Frontenac who wish to attend the event. Guests enjoyed an evening of first-rate entertainment courtesy of local Elvis tribute artist and Johnny Cash impersonator Dan Stoness, young fiddler Jessica Wedden and local musician Tommy Asselstine. Guests had a chance to win numerous door prizes that were handed out throughout the evening. Members of the club also had a chance to show off their star power in a number of comical skits. Elvis put on a very memorable and interactive show and offered a special birthday tribute to two lucky ladies in the audience, Shirley Jones and Lois Webster, who were both celebrating their birthdays the night of the event. The evening concluded with a generous spread of refreshments and once again the Lions proved that they indeed know how to put together a show and entertain guests. Hats off to all the Lions, including chair of the Seniors Night committee Linda Zwier who unfortunately, due to a fall, was unable to attend. It was the second year that the Lions held the annual event at Land O' Lakes P.S. Previously it had been held at the former Sharbot Lake High School.

Hallowe’en in Parham and Mountain Grove

Denbigh Griffith Lions donate to family health team

the surrounding area, and has increased access to primary health care for residents of this remote and isolated area. Patients now have more access to a physician and nurses, as well as access to a nurse practitioner, a dietitian, a mental health counselor, and an advanced foot care specialist, in their home community. LFHT offers several programs (hypertension, diabetic, smoking cessation, Healthy You: Weight Management), and preventative care. Emergency care is also provided at the Denbigh site. As far as the fund raising end of things go, Lion Bill Shipley summed it up; “If it's not fun, it's no fun at all and not worth doing.” With the amount of money that has been raised for projects like the LFHT, the Lions are definitely having fun doing it.

he Denbigh Griffith Lions Club, formed in 1998, is part of Lions Clubs International, which is the world's largest service club organization. The Lions' motto is "We Serve" and our local Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities. The club, at a current count of 24 members, donates about $20,000 each year to a variety of projects and causes. One of the current major initiatives is to donate $25,000 over five years ($5000 per year) to the Lakelands Family Health Team (LFHT) in Denbigh. On Wednesday, October 22, at a club meeting, the official cheque presentation and most recent installment was presented to, and gratefully accepted by, Janice Powell of LFHT. Powell shared that while she was not intending to stay on for more than a few years, it has become her passion and she is now in year four with LFHT. Working to gain the services currently in place and others that may be realized down the road, has, and is her objective.

Hansel & Gretel at PCPS T

hose familiar with the old children’s fairy tales, like Hansel and Gretel, are in for a real treat thanks to an artful production that continues at Prince Charles Public School in Verona this week. Written by Steph DeFerie, the play is directed by Doug MacIntyre and produced by himself and Kathy King. It is the perfect piece of community theatre for the Halloween season since it offers up loads of colourful costumes plus a hefty portion of comical characters in all shapes and sizes for young and old alike. The story is not just about Hansel and Gretel; it brings in all the beloved fairy tale characters we have grown up with, and each is generously scripted and given a chance to shine. That is the case for Meagan Smith, who plays Blossom the Cow and whose threeletter word utterances charm to no end. So is the case for the forest mouse, Alyssa Parks, whose wee cuteness and focused attention to the action is equally charming. And speaking of charming, Josh Detlor’s dandy Prince was just that, as was Gareth Hewitt's Big Bad Wolf, a character you just love to hate. Similarly Hailey Hickey's mirrored face was a hilarious sight to behold, as were the words she spoke as the bearer of the truth. Stephanie Rowe as both Snow White and Red Hiding Hood was also highly entertaining. The truth – or what we think we know as the truth about these characters - is one idea that the plot closely hinges on in

this play and is what DeFerie plays on. Veteran actors to the community stage did not miss out on a chance to put their talents to the test. Both Astrid Tanton as Gretel and Johnny Parks as Hansel were stellar as the young leads who personalities changed on a dime and whom the audience first enthusiastically wooed then booed. Audience participation in the form of clapping, cheering, and jeering was highly encouraged and was a big part of why this show is so enjoyable for all ages. Other lead players also had a chance to demonstrate the extremes of their acting chops; Connie Shibley as Brunhilda and Amanita Phalloides, and Beth Freeland in her two opposing sides as stepmother to the lead siblings both showed they have what it takes. Similarly, father Wilhelm (Piotr Rauchfleisch) played his role as an innocent and victimized dad with aplomb and his scenes with Freeland were classic comedy given their polar opposites in both form and temperament. Alison Williams as the Fairy Godmother was a sheer joy to behold, a natural to the stage and who, due to an early wand mishap, gets the classic stories and situations hilariously befuddled. Dick Miller as Inspector Wombat and his sidekick Dalton Hurren as Sergeant Ringworm made a hilarious sleuthing duo. The show’s costumer designer, Debbie Lovegrove, is truly gifted and though this production was no doubt a challenge, she definitely rose to it and brilliantly surpassed the

L-r, Alison Williams, Stephanie Rowe and Connie Shibley mark, creating some very memorable and clever costumes that added to the cartoonish, campy feel of the show. The sets by Robert Rowe and Dave King were similarly clever and simple, with turnstile forest trees changing into a cozy indoor hearth and with the actors taking full advantage of the space in front of the stage where much of the action occurred. In the second act the stage opened up revealing the inside of a candy house, a simple and aptly decorated set equipped with cage, stove, witch’s broom, wood pile and a glowing bright fire light.

Part mystery, part mockery and a full-on high jinks tale with many unseen twists, the play was one of the best I have seen to date by Doug MacIntyre, who never fails to put his heart and soul into every show that he stages. Hansel and Gretel is one of his best and those who missed the first two performances have no fear. There are two more this coming weekend - Sat. Nov. 1 at 7pm and Sun. Nov. 2 at 2pm. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for children 12 years of age and under and are available at the door or at Verona Convenience Store, Verona Drug Mart, Verona Hardware and Asselstine Hardware.

LOLE congregation bids farewell Sydenham HS vs La Salle to Rev. Judith I JP Cormier workshop in Sharbot

On October 23 Sydenham High School took on LaSalle Secondary School in KASSAA basketball. The seniors game, score 34 to 31 for La Salle, was very good, fast, and tied to the last minute. In the juniors game SHS won 37 to 30 LSS. - submitted by Jerzy Zawisza

t was an emotional afternoon at the new Land O'Lakes Emmanuel United Church in Northbrook, where a full house gathered to say farewell to Reverend Judith Evenden. Evenden became the minister at the pastoral charge eight years ago, which at that time included the United churches of Cloyne, Flinton and Harlowe. In what she described as “eight wonderful years of transformational ministry”, she helped the three congregations through a challenging time of change that saw them come together in a difficult decision to sell off the three church properties in order to build a new, more functional place of worship. With the new church near Northbrook nearly complete and with the congregation now worshiping there, it seems ironic that Evenden, who was at the helm during the historic changes, is now taking leave of her flock after

having brought them together under one roof. Evenden gave her notice back in July informing her congregation that she would be moving back to Kingston and would be holding her final service at Land O' Lakes Emmanuel United on October 26. With that date in mind the congregation planned a special celebration and invited Evenden and her partner Eleanor Belfry-Lyttle to the new church on October 25 for a farewell that included an entertaining and heartfelt recounting of her history and accomplishments there. Speakers included mission chair Jean Sedore, Lois Wise, Janet Wilson, Bev Scott and Louise Hogg and the presentations were filled with laughter, joy and tears. Evenden was presented with a number of gifts and keepsakes and she spoke to me of the final sermon that she would be giving the following day. She spoke of the coincidental timing of her depar-

ture. “When I gave my notice in July, I used the end of the Exodus story. Because we at the United church work on a certain cycle of readings that is used internationally, what I did not know is that the reading tomorrow will be that Exodus story.” Evenden said that she will be giving the congregation cuttings from a Moses in the Bulrushes plant, which she was gifted and has cared for for decades. She will also be giving the congregation a Bible as a parting gift. In the interim until a new minister is appointed, members will be carrying on regular worship services at the new church, and former minister, Reverend Wayne Hilliker, will be leading services there along with others. Evenden said she will be returning to the church for its special dedication service, which will be taking place in the near future.

enowned Maritime guitarist, singer and songwriter JP Cormier will be presenting a guitar workshop in Sharbot Lake. He is the master of many instruments but is a genius on the guitar. His fingers fly with speed and precision and he leaves his audience awed by his talent. JP Cormier will be performing in the evening of November 15 at the Sharbot Lake Inn and will conduct his guitar workshop in the afternoon at the Oso Hall from

3:00 to 4:30. Cormier’s workshops for festivals, small groups or companies are a whirlwind of information and technical delight. This master of the instrument takes the workshop audience on a journey through ‘all things guitar’. From purchase, technique and set up, to flat picking and finger-style, this workshop is an information bomb for players in any style or genre. It is for experienced guitarists with the prerequisite

skills (ability to fluently play open chords, to use strumming patterns and to read guitar chord charts), who will be delighted with the content of the workshop. Presented by Blue Skies in the Community, the JP Cormier guitar workshop will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 3 to 4:30pm at the Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. Cost is $30 for adults or $20 for students. To register, contact Marily Seitz at 613-479-2855 or seitz@xplornet.ca.

taxes to those people is huge. This has to be part of our thinking when we start budgeting. We need to give staff clear direction before they start putting their department budgets together,” she said. With a council dominated by first-time councilors, and some major gaps in senior staffing, Smith said that she will be in no hurry to complete the 2016 budget. “We need to do a lot of work, some training of council, some sessions on our budget process and what the numbers really mean, before we can get to that first budget. I know staff always wants the budget done early, but if there are projects that need to be approved before the budget is complete we can do that by resolution. I will not ask Council to rush the budget process right after they take office in a month,” she said. In response to her defeat, out-going mayor, Janet Gutowski, was upbeat. “I’ll admit that I was a little surprised with the results of the vote for mayor, but the reality is that things change. When I look back and think that I came to this community and immediately served one term as a councilor and two as mayor, I can’t say I’m dissatisfied with how everything went over all,” she said. She said she hopes the township continues its support for two initiatives that she instigated, the Frontenac Heritage Festival and the economic development committee of council. The Heritage Festival, which receives administrative and logistical support from the township but only minimal dollars, is in the early preparation stages for next February, and Gutowski said she is committed to staying on as chair of the Heritage

Festival Committee, at least for this year. “I think the economic development committee has made progress, and seeing that some of the newly elected councilors seem to support those kinds of initiatives, I hope that it will survive,” she said. “I’m also excited to see some younger people getting elected to council. That will be good for the township.” For a table of results, go to Centralfrontenac.com

the field with 542 votes. Portland Incumbents ruled in Portland. John McDougall received 1322 votes and Bill Robinson 872. Bradley Barbeau finished third with 793 votes. McDougall is likely to remain the county council representative for the township, since after Robinson he is the longest serving member of council. Robinson has never shown any interest in sitting at the county table. In the two other districts, Storrington and Bedford, three newcomers were acclaimed to council: Norm Roberts and Ron Sleeth in Storrington, and Alan Revill in Bedford. Pat Barr, who was appointed to council 15 months ago to serve out the term of Mark Tinlin after he resigned, was also acclaimed to council in Bedford. In the end South Frontenac will be overseen by a rookie mayor, five new members of council, and three incumbents. For a table of results, go to Southfrontenac.net
