2014 Remembrance Day Services T

he Remembrance Day services held in North, Central and South Frontenac were all very well attended this year. That was likely due in part to the tragic events that took place in Ottawa and Quebec a few weeks ago, and the fact that 2014 marks the start of both World Wars, the first 100 years ago and the second 75 years ago.

In Flinton Pastor Bruce Kellar led the service on November 9, which was attended by numerous members of the Northbrook Legion as well as various local groups and organizations including members of the Land O’Lakes Cadets. After the laying of the wreaths, those in attendance were invited by Pastor Kellar to lay their poppies at the

cenotaph. In Sydenham hundreds gathered for a service at the cenotaph on November 11 at The Point, which was led by Rev. Giuseppe Gagliano of St. Paul’s Anglican Church. President of the Sydenham Legion, Kate Lett, also spoke at the service. The names of local soldiers who lost their lives in WW 1,

WW 2 and the Korean War were read aloud. Sydenham High School exchange student Diego Hoya performed the Last Post and Reveille, which was followed by the laying of the wreaths. The service was also attended by students in grades six through eight from Loughborough Public School.

Heating, hydro costs bringing some to a breaking point by Jeff Green ames Norris lives a quiet life. He has lived in a small house in Northbrook for the last 15 years, after moving there with his wife from Oshawa. They both suffered health problems. He has Multiple Sclerosis and was forced to retire from the auto industry after injuring his back, and his wife suffered from lung disease, which ended up taking her life in 2006. Norris lives alone now, trying to make ends meet on a Disability pension from his work, and some support from the Ontario Disability Support Program. He receives $1085 a month, has a $285 mortgage, and he also has hydro, property tax, and phone bills to pay. That leaves only about $400 for food and day-to-day necessities. And then there is heat. “As the weather gets colder this year, I have no oil in my furnace, and no money to

buy oil,” he said on a cool, cloudy afternoon, from his candle lit kitchen. He wore a housecoat over his clothes, and I kept my coat on in his kitchen. A small space heater was on in the sitting room. For the past seven years, ever since his wife died, James Norris has slowly built up a balance on his VISA card, to the point where he has to pay $400 each month towards the balance. He has a driver’s license but could not keep a car on the road, and now faces the fact that he cannot afford oil this winter. There is a program that he has accessed in the past through the Ontario Works department in Napanee that has covered one tank of oil per winter in the past, but he cannot access that until at least January. Getting to January is a problem, however, and the fact that oil companies have a minimum delivery of $400 worth of oil has him basically out of luck. “It is really tight surviving right now. I only get food that is on sale. I basically shop when I need to. I certainly could eat better,” he said. “I try to get out and volunteer as much as I can. I’d rather be out doing something than sitting at home. Between my back and MS I can’t work but when I feel okay I can volunteer, but I always need to be picked up and brought home.” He says that his situation is not unique. “There are many other people like me and worse. Costs go up but benefits don’t. At $1085 a month, it doesn’t add up for someone like me to get through the winter,” he said. Anne Marie Langan works for the Legal Clinic, which provides legal services for residents of Lanark, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington from an office at Northern Frontenac Community Services in Sharbot

Lake. She has been providing legal advice to clients facing financial difficulties as well. “More and more families in the area are facing a lot of financial hardship,” she said, “and it only escalates when winter comes.” Kendra Godfrey lives in Mountain Grove with her husband Sean. Between them they have seven children ranging from five to 20 years of age, and six of them are living at home. Sean receives Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) support and Kelly works at the Maples in Sharbot Lake. They have had financial struggles, and not only do they face the coming winter and the cost of oil for their rental home, Ontario Hydro is threatening to pull the plug on their electricity. “Since we moved here two years ago, ODSP has been paying $240 a month to Hydro from Sean’s funds all that time. I have been after Hydro One to send us bills that whole time, and each time gave them our address but the bill never came, so I had no way of knowing if we were paying enough,” she said. On October 2, a letter came to their home by Purolator, saying they owed $6,900 and were going to have their power cut us off unless they made arrangements within 10 days to start paying off the debt. Hydro One is looking for $600 per month for service and $240 per month for two and a half years to pay off the debt. Anne Marie Langan is working on the case with Kendra Godfrey, and last week put in a demand for the bills but has not received them. Meanwhile in a subsequent phone call with a representative from Hydro One, Kendra found out that it is no longer $6,900 that Hydro is asking for in back payments. “I talk-

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

The numbers tell a story

t has occurred to me over the years that there is an office in Sharbot Lake occupied by about 18 people who do the administrative work for Central Frontenac, a jurisdiction that has 4,000 houses and somewhere around 4,500 full-time residents, and probably about as many seasonal residents. There is another office located between Ardoch and Plevna. Eighteen or so people work in that office and do the administrative work for North Frontenac, a township that has about 3,500 households and 1,900 permanent residents and about three times as many seasonal residents. By contrast there are about 24 people working at the South Frontenac Township office in Sydenham. South Frontenac has about 10,000 houses, 18,000 permanent residents and about 7,000 seasonal residents. My first question is, why are there two offices in Central and North Frontenac, doing approximately the same thing, for 6,400 people? I am aware that in 1997, when the current system was being created, it was hard enough at the time to put three townships together to make North Frontenac and put four townships together to make Central Frontenac. This is not 1997, however, and looking forward it is harder and harder to see how North and Central Frontenac will be able to continue offering minimal levels of service without increasing taxes to outrageous levels. Increased policing costs will bring that situation into focus for the new councils in both townships as soon as they take office next month. The second question is, even if the townships amalgamated, would savings in administrative costs follow? That question is not so easy to answer. Here are some numbers, based on the financial statements for 2013 in Central, North, and South Frontenac, all compiled by the same auditor, KPMG. North Frontenac collected $5.15 million in taxation, and Central Frontenac collected $6.2 million, for a total of $11.35 million. The combined number of permanent residents in the two townships is about 6,400, and including seasonal residents the total is about 15,000. South Frontenac Township collected $14.4 million in taxaSince I was away last week and missed last Thursday's paper, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in Kennebec, Ward 1 who gave me their support in my re-election for a second term on Central Frontenac Council. I will do my utmost to serve all of Central Frontenac to the best of my ability over the next four years, and I look forward to working with members of Council in meeting the many challenges that lay ahead.

tion, from approximately 18,000 permanent and 7,000 seasonal residents, a total of about 25,000 people. By that measure, property taxes costs $756 per person in Central and North Frontenac and $516 per person in South Frontenac. There are other ways to measure this, however. Measured by houses, either seasonal or year round, there are 10,000 in South Frontenac and 8,000 in North and Central combined. By measuring taxes per building, South Frontenac charges a bit more than Central and North Frontenac. Then again, in terms of service levels, South Frontenac has an aggressive program of paving roads and has curbside garbage pickup, while North and Central Frontenac are struggling to maintain their existing roads systems and curbside pickup is not on the radar.

In recent months and throughout the election, there has been more and more talk of shared services between Frontenac municipalities. That might involve a greater role for Frontenac County or simply sharing resources among the township offices. The idea of amalgamating Central and North Frontenac is not part of this talk, but why not put it on the table? There are people who say amalgamation has already stripped communities of their identities, and more amalgamation will only make that worse. That could be true, but the point is that lower-tier municipalities deliver only a small basket of services directly, and it is expensive and hard to deliver those services to a scattered population. If there are potential savings by cutting administrative costs, they should be considered by the new councils.

Pine Meadow Nursing Home

by Jeff Green

onnie George, the administrator at Pine Meadow Nursing Home, took a deep breath when asked about the flow of tasks in the next phase of construction at the Home. A couple of weeks ago, residents moved into the newly constructed wings at either end of the v-shaped home. Now that all the new construction is completed, crews are renovating the rooms in the older part of the home that were vacated by those residents. When those renovations are complete, residents will move across the hall, and those rooms will be worked on. Then the administration offices will be changed, the main dining hall and servery will be renovated. “All of this will take place while the home is operating. It’s all very complicated. But it will work,” she said. The construction phase is now 70% complete and is on budget thus far, George added, and the good news is that a number of residents are in new rooms, enjoying the benefits of an upgraded, grade “A” long term care facility. Pine Meadow will have only two-bed and one-bed rooms when construction is complete, and each 32-bed wing will have its own admin hub, nurses’ and doctors’ rooms, showers and baths, common room, activity room, and dining room. The entire home will be newly finished, and will be up to date in terms of safety and accessibility requirements.

OPP report

Fatal accident on Perth Road

t approximately 11:45 p.m. on November 6, members of the Frontenac OPP were dispatched to a single motor vehicle collision on Perth Road just south of Perth Road Village. A north-bound vehicle, driven by a 20-year-old woman, lost control and left the roadway, coming to rest in a small body of water. A local volunteer firefighter passing by saw the lights of the car in the water and stopped to assist. He swam out to the vehicle and was able to cut the seat belt of the driver. Two other citizens assisted in removing her from the water and to the road where first aid was given until emergency services arrived. The woman was transported to hospital where she was pronounced dead. The name of the victim is being withheld pending next of kin notification.

THE FURNACE BROKER RD. 38, Godfrey, ON K0H 1T0

Resident Diane Forbes with Bonnie George and Bill Cox Bill Cox, the chair of the management board that oversees the home for Land O’Lakes Community Services, said that the home has developed a reputation as a first class care facility due to the support of the surrounding community through ongoing fund-raising and donation efforts and other engagement with the home. “The renovations include a new staff lounge plus space in what is now the dining room for public use,” said Cox. Bonnie George is hoping that a decision to increase the licensed capacity of the home to 64 residents will come soon. The home is licensed for 60 residents, but it has a healthy waiting list, and the ministry approved constructing it to a capacity of 64. “It will be up to the ministry to decide if we should be licensed for 64 residents, but we will certainly be ready once the renovations are complete,” she said The projected end date for the project is February 18, 2015, and George anticipates the construction crews will be close to or spot on that deadline. For members of the management board who began lobbying for the re-build of the home almost 15 years ago, that day can’t come soon enough.

Letter Re: LOLE United Church

s a proud member of the Land O’ Lakes Emmanuel United Church I strongly disagree with the comments made by Marie White regarding the sad legacy that Rev. Judith Everton left. Rev. Judith was able to unite the three churches and the members of the congregation voted to sell the churches and the manse. Yes there were dissatisfied members who decided to leave because of this decision. However most members remained and we have become a strong vital congregation. I am looking forward to the future.

Re: Snow removal on Denison Dr.

would like to clarify the article written about Addington Highlands Council in the Nov 6 issue. I, Wayne Marsh, of 54 Denison Drive attended a council meeting requesting help in cleaning out the culvert at the entrance to my drive way as it accumulated a large amount of sediment from the winter sanding operations. Upon inspection and as a result of a visit by the road superintendent and the Reeve a fairly extensive project of ditch digging and culvert replacement was carried out. No culvert replacement was done on my property. I would like to thank the Reeve (Henry Hogg and the road superintendent for their prompt and excellent response to the problem. Wayne Marsh

hydro mess has made it impossible for us to SINCE 1970 budget,” she said. Michele Zigman administers a number of emergency funding programs for Frontenac County residents out of her office in Sydenham with Southern Frontenac Community Services. She is also worried about the coming winter. “We are still working with people who are trying to recover from last winter, which was cold and long and particularly hard on those who heat with propane. This coming winter could be really devastating to a lot of people,” she said. Zigman pointed out that most of the money she is able to access to support families struggling with costs is subject to strict conditions, one of them being that the families do not receive social assistance. Most of the funds that she administers come from pro-

Letter Why I did not vote

tried to vote the weekend before the 27th but I lost the paper with my PIN # on it. So I called the township on the 27th. They said I had to come in. I could not go (it was a PA day for the schools and I had a full day of activity preplanned for my children and was away from home). So, I could not vote. I realize that I lost my PIN #. I realize that I could have stopped the children’s activity and taken my family to Sharbot Lake instead. Could they not have looked up my PIN # for me? But that’s not really my point. Voting is supposed to be easy, convenient and accessible, isn’t it? I may not have written this letter but I hear that there was a list posted on the Internet stating who voted and who did not (hearsay only as I do not have Internet). And that brings me to another point. Did anyone study the potential biases in listing this information? I received a phone call from one of the candidates on the evening of the 25th to remind me that I had not voted and when I did, to keep them in mind. Is that the way the electoral process is meant to function? Is it not biased? I cannot say that I support these “technological improvements” to a system that has functioned reliably in the past. I always vote. But not this time. Dawn Morden

Letter Thanks for the fertilizer

would like to express my thanks to the person or persons unknown for their efforts in helping me fertilize my lawn. As I was using my lawn mower to mulch the leaves I was surprised by a pile of fertilizer hidden under a pile of leaves. How thoughtful. How generous. This is not the first time I have been the benefactor of such a gift, so I thought it time to express my gratitude. I have spent 59 of my 66 years living in various cities, so I guess that makes me a city boy. As such, I am not accustomed to such thoughtfulness and generosity on the part of my neighbours. Don't get me wrong, I have had my share of good neighbours over the years, but they too were city folk and by and large didn't reach these heights of neighbourliness. Pity. I find myself at a loss about how to repay such a gesture. I don't have a dog- only a cat. A house cat. I have, however long considered the joys of owning a horse. Dennis Saunders

Letter Re: LOLE United Church

s a practising Christian I feel compelled to respond to Marie White’s recent vicious attack on Reverend Judith Evenden, and by association the whole congregation of the Land O’ Lakes Emmanuel United Church. It is a reality that traditional Christian congregations are decreasing in size across Canada with scores of small rural churches being sold leaving many congregants without a place to meet and worship. Under Reverend Evenden’s leadership, the LOL Emmanuel United Church undertook democratic votes (each with a two-thirds majority – I know because I helped count them) first to amalgamate the congregations of Harlowe, Flinton and Cloyne into one congregation. Secondly to sell the three churches and the Flinton manse and thirdly, to purchase a house which has subsequently been renovated into a lovely new church. The journey has been a difficult and often times emotional but it resulted in a critical mass of Christians with a place to meet and worship. We are now truly united and stronger than before. And we are truly grateful that Reverend Evenden has stood by us with love, sensitivity and significant encouragement throughout the process. She will be sorely missed by the church and the community as a whole for her vision, her bravery and her outreach beyond the church. Don’t believe Marie White’s misinformation and hateful attack!

vincial coffers, but thay are allocated to her by the social services department of the City of Kingston. “Frontenac County, based on its population realtive to that of Kingston, should receive more funding than it does for these programs,” she said. A new homelessness initiative will bring a change in the supports for families in situations such as those faced by James Norris and Kendra Godfrey’s family, but funding will remain a problem. “The goal is for people to have sustainable housing in the long term,” said Zigman, “and my fear is that people will be forced to give up their houses if this winter is as hard as last winter was.”

(613) 336-1608 Are you familiar with the four signs of concussions? They are: disorientation and confusion after the event; impaired balance within one day after; slower reaction times within two days after; and impaired verbal learning and memory within two days. Knowing these signs of concussion can encourage sufferers to seek early help and prevent long-term suffering. Many drugs have been in short supply over the past year and pharmacists may use other brands to refill your prescription. We will let you know when the brand has been changed. Sometimes it may not look exactly like your original brand but the effect of the drug will be the same. If you stop smoking (and we always encourage that), let your doctor and pharmacist know of your new status. Smoking can impact the effect of some medications like pain, heart and blood medications as well as some respiratory and psychiatric drugs and insulin. Doses may have to be adjusted. Readers of this column will know we are great proponents of breastfeeding for at least six months after the birth of a child. Medications taken by the mother may sometimes appear in the breast milk, which may not be good for the baby. If you are unsure if a medication you are taking may have this effect, check with our pharmacists. We have the resources to give you peace of mind. We dispense information as well as medication. Use our services soon.

Wanda Harrison 613-335-3186 · The Arden United Church welcomed the Colour Party from the Arden Legion to the service on Nov. 9 in celebration of Remembrance Day. On November 11, Arden had a large turnout at the Cenotaph. Wreaths were laid by numerous people in the community, as everyone remembered those who fought for our freedom and a life of democracy.

HENDERSON

Jean Brown 613-336-2516 Georgina Wathen 613-336-9641 · Henderson is hopping with hunters who report a lower than usual kill, possibly due to the moose - when the moose come in the deer go out. Others report a “gamey” taste to their meat, which can be tuned up by getting the hide off the animal quickly and hanging it in a cool place for several weeks. Marinating the meat in apple juice helps with the taste, tenderizing and overall yumminess. Some sear their meat first in a frying pan and then cook it in a slow cooker. Others add bacon as the bacon fat makes for a juicy addition. Please send me your tried and true recipes, and any hunting stories. · The Harlowe Wesleyan and Standard Church thanked God in an induction service for in-coming clergy, the Rev. Jack Plaizier.

South Frontenac Council - Nov. 4 by Wilma Kenny Applewood Application Forwarded to County for Final Approval Planner Lindsay Mills presented his recommendation that Council receive the October 30 planning report and forward all relevant documents to the County, as representing the Township’s conditions of draft approval for the Applewood plan of condominium for 22 (reduced from 23) residential units on the eastern portion of Loughborough Lake. In his report, Mills referred to a public meeting on September 2 (a meeting that actually occurred on October 7), during which he said “members of the public made a number of specific enquiries about the development but most comments were positive.” This is somewhat at odds with the report of this meeting in the Frontenac News of October 9, which indicated many unresolved concerns from residents, under the general tenor of 'I’m not against development, but…'. Some of the people at that October 7 meeting asked about the reliability of the well monitoring tests, the perceived lack of adherence to the goals and vision of the Township’s official plan, and the creation of lots with protected wetlands as their waterfront. At the time many of the 60 residents present asked for one more public meeting before the township forwarded the draft plan to the County. Nonetheless last week Council passed Mills’ recommendation with no discussion. Last Meeting of this Council: Mayor Davison presented plaques to departing members of Council Larry York and Al McPhail:

· On Nov. 20, 7:30 pm, renowned author Denise Chong will talk about her book “Lives of the Family: Stories of Fate and Circumstance” at the Perth & District Historical Society meeting. Chong’s first book, “The Concubine’s Children”, was a Globe and Mail best seller for 93 weeks. She will speak to what brought Chinese to the small towns rather than settling in the larger cities. For instance, in the late 1890s, Harry Fong was first a laundryman, but then opened Harry’s Café, now The Stone Cellar, in Perth. Harry’s life came to a tragic end when a driverless parked car rolled and pinned him against a building by the bridge, crushing his leg. His widow would become a successful businesswoman. By the time of her death in 1965, continued on pg 7 she was a millionaire. The meeting will take place at the Perth Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E.

Come Christmas Day the grade 10 student will be heading down south - way down south - and will be one of just 70 international students aged 14-18 boarding an ice breaker at the southern tip of Argentina and setting out to explore Antarctica. The students will be part of a tenday international youth experiential education program called Students on Ice. The program, which offers trips to both the Arctic and Antarctica, brings together students, scientists, artists, musicians and other leaders with the goal that they “become inspired, educated and empowered global ambassadors for a sustainable future.” The expedition’s home base will be an ice breaker and while on board students will learn from numerous polar experts, educators, researchers and scientists and will be involved in a number of hands-on research studies and experiments. Climate, the ice and wildlife will all be topics of study and for Sand-

erson it presents an opportunity to learn about and see one part of the world that most people never have a chance to visit. Sanderson has always been interested in climate, the environment, nature and the great outdoors and as a youngster spent many hours with his teacher father at the Gould Lake Conservation Centre, experiencing the outdoors, nature and wildlife. “I’ve spent a lot of time in the wilderness and feel that when you’re out exploring and living in nature you get a certain appreciation for it and a certain drive to protect it. The best summer experiences I have had have been in the outdoors and that is what inspires me to do something so that we can have these kind of places forever.” The students will make their way by plane to Ushuaia, Argentina, where they will board the ice breaker and will spend a few days traveling up the Drake Passage. Planned stops include an excursion to Elephant Island where famed explorer Ernest Shackleton was stranded

by Julie Druker

roughly 100 years ago. They will then travel to the Antarctic peninsula and will be stopping at a number of research bases there. Because it is the summer season there now, they will be making their way through open water and will likely see Emperor penguins, whales and other native species. Sanderson is looking forward to meeting his shipmates, in his words, “people who will likely have similar interests as me” and to seeing the continent of Antarctica. “It is a place that, for the most part, has been untouched by humans and it will be really interesting to learn about a place that so few people have had a chance to see and study.” The Students on Ice program requires participants to raise $14,500 for the trip. Since his acceptance in April of this year Sanderson has held many fundraising events and he says family, friends, the school, the Limestone District School Board and the community at large all made generous donations to help him fund his journey. Of course he will be packing a camera and upon his return, as a new ambassador to the program he will be making presentations to local students about the trip. As for his future plans, Sanderson says that although he has not made any concrete plans he is hoping that the trip might show him a path or an opportunity that he didn’t know existed before. “I’m really looking forward to seeing what this expedition might lead to.”

At the start of the third quarter, Sydenham marched down the field again, mixing their passing and rushing games, all culminating in another touchdown by Tyler Cancian, bringing the score to 31-7. Brockville then mounted a sustained comeback, scoring twice in the third quarter, and after making only one of two conversions they were down 31-20. After dominating play in the fourth, the Rams finally scored late in the game and after a two-point conversion the score was 31-28. Then Sydenham finally maintained possession near the end of the game and managed to run the ball until the clock ran out, clinching the win and sending them to the EOSSA final.

n the early going of their EOSSA (Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association) semi-final game at the Point, the Sydenham Golden Eagles looked like they might make mincemeat out of the Brockville Rams. Thirty short seconds into the game the Rams fumbled a kick by Mike Bashall, and Sam Moyse scored a touchdown in the next play. After a successful conversion, the Eagles were up 7-0. Sydenham's defense shut down a push up the middle by the Rams and then Bashall scored again, on a long pass from Dylan Fisher, putting Sydenham at 14-0 just half way into the first quarter. Early in the second Sam Moyse made a great catch and although he was rammed hard by Brockville he miraculously held on to the ball, sparking a drive down the field that led to a touchdown on a run by Tyler Cancian The Rams fought back hard and finally put 7 points on the board. Sydenham responded with a field goal to be up 24-7 at the half.

efore starting their November 11 meeting, Central Frontenac Mayor Janet Gutowski announced that the late November meeting will be cancelled, making this the final event in the term for six of the nine members of the current council. One of the six, Norman Guntensperger, was not in attendance, but the other four, John Purdon, Wayne Millar, Heather Fox and Jeff Matson, and Gutowski herself were all in good humour. At the end of the meeting they had a chance to wish the new council well. For her part, Gutowski said she expects that she will continue to be involved in community activities in one way or another. As the new council is set to take office next month, Council deferred all but the most clear-cut decisions. Waste Management consulting Council received a report from the public works managers of North and South Frontenac as well as their own former public works manager, Mike Richardson, regarding

the cost of monitoring waste management sites in all three townships. Currently, the work is contracted out separately by each of the townships. The report considered developing the expertise to do all the work through a new department to serve all three townships, and perhaps Frontenac Islands as well. The cost for work on the 13 active and 14 closed sites in mainland Frontenac County is almost $450,000. However, rather than taking all this work in house, the report recommended putting out a combined Request for Proposals to deliver the service on a county-wide basis.They selected the following option: “totally outsource all aspects of the service delivery of Waste Management that involve required Ministry reporting, liaison with the Ministry of Environment, ground water and surface water testing and monitoring, using one RFP to contract the work to include all four townships” in the hope that they can all save some money. “This is a good example of how we all benefit from common efforts between the townships and the county,” said Mayor Gutowski of the report and the recommendation. Since the matter needs to be considered by the other townships before being acted on, Council just accepted the report for information, leaving approval to the new Council. Waste Services Manager Kyle Labbett also reported that the formal closing of the Arden site has been completed to the satisfaction of the Ministry of the Environment, and that the Wilkinson Road site, near Chippego Lake, is also ready to be formally closed. “These are items I have been working on for five years,” said Labbett. He then added a bit of a tidbit for the benefit of the incoming council. “The next one to come is Crow Lake,” he said. According to the most recent capacity study, at the current fill rate, that site will be filled within the next half dozen years.

In 2012, a year whose overall numbers (over $20 million) were skewed by the construction of Granite Ridge Education Centre, there were also 16 residential and 8 seasonal residences under construction. Public Meeting about Road 38 overpass: In the latest bridge study done for the township the bridge over the former rail line (now part of the Trans-Canada Trail) on Road 38 in Sharbot Lake has been identified as in need of repair within five years. In looking at the cost of repair, the township is considering the possibility of either replacing the bridge with a box culvert or simply eliminating it entirely and letting the road cross the trail. The upfront costs of either of these options will be considerable, but the long-term savings in maintenance make them viable possibilities. The bridge was originally built to permit a train to pass under it, and is therefore no longer needed. A public meeting to discuss options has been set for Thurs. Nov. 20 from 6 to 8pm in the Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. Councilor John Purdon asked Kyle Labbett if the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA) had been consulted about the possibility of a highway passing over the trail if one of the options is selected. Labbett said that it is not unusual for the trail to pass over roads. “The trail passes over Hwy. 7 near the weigh station before Perth,” said Labbett, “Cindy Cassidy from EOTA said she could work with whatever we decide to do.”

Draftsman/artist makes his mark Little People, Big Personalities: at MERA NFLT’s ” Aladdin” A by Julie Druker

Michael Neelin beside one of his drawings

ichael Neelin is no stranger to McDonalds Corners. Neelin's family has owned a cottage in the area for almost 50 years and his love of both heritage architecture and natural landscape was one of the reasons why in April 2014 he moved from Pontiac, Quebec, where he had lived and worked for over 20 years, to McDonalds Corners. He moved into a new home in McDonalds Corners, which he designed and had built. With a degree in architectural history and trained as an architectural technologist, Neelin makes his living designing timber-frame homes, and he operates his own business called Riversong Design. While he loves his work and the fact that it has paid the bills for years, he admits that there is also an artist in him. In fact he started drawing and sketching long before he became a designer of homes. “It was a trip I took to France with my parents as a teenager that ignited my love for sketching and drawing historic architecture and the natural world, and it is a fascination that has never left me”, he said at the opening of his show, titled “Fenceline and Shoreline”, at the MERA schoolhouse. The show is comprised of numerous drawings, mainly done in graphite. Included are meticulous drawings of old, leaning barns and sprawling heritage farms in their natural surroundings. One of the best of these are

By Andrea Dickinson

of the barns at Clontarf, which are long aged but also maintain their unique architectural integrity. Neelin’s drawing technique is often so precise and fine that the textural beauty of the barn board stands front and centre and is matched by the grace with which he composes the subject in the frame. His works also draw him to urban heritage architecture like the old Almonte Post office, Confederation Square and Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and a beautiful brick building that he depicts in a work titled “Hollywood Parade”, where the front of the building is masterfully and painstakingly represented. Some of the architectural drawings can also lean towards the cartoonish side, as in “Breen's store in Clontarf” which appears more like a quaint drawing for a children’s book. However, these also have their own special charms. The natural world is also one of Neelin's muses and he explained that he never tires of the way “beauty occurs so spontaneously in the natural world” - like the two downed trees that sprawl on a river bank or the tall, thick cedar trees that spring from a rocky river bed in another work. It takes a master draftsman to be able to put graphite to paper and bring one’s subject to life and Neelin is a talented artist who puts his heart and soul into every pencil line that he makes. He was pleased with the close to 50 people who turned out for the opening of the show, which will remain on display at MERA for the month of November. Neelin said that he is grateful to not only to have a place to show his artworks but also to have such a fine source of art education and entertainment available locally at MERA.
