Inside Ride at Sydenham High School

Perth mayor seeks federal NDP nomination by Jeff Green

ohn Fenick, who has been the mayor of the Town of Perth since 2006, and was acclaimed to the position during the last two elections, will be a familiar face in Frontenac County this summer and into the fall as the expected federal election date nears. On Monday, he announced that he will be seeking the nomination to be the NDP candidate in the new federal riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. Until recently, Fenick was a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. “I believe our nation is at a critical crossroad,” Fenik said. “I have long been aligned with the Liberal Party, but I’ve decided to put my name forward to become the NDP candidate,” he said in announcing his candidacy. “I had considered running for the Liberals in the past,” he said in a telephone interview with the News. “but over time I’ve been increasingly concerned with Mr. Trudeau’s poor judgement. I have been speaking with some members of John Fenick the NDP in recent months, and I have been following Thomas Mulcair for a few years. He has the abililty and the vision to lead the country.” The new federal riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston includes about two-thirds of the soon to be former riding of Lanark-Fronten-

ac-Lennox and Addington, which has been represented by Scott Reid of the Conservative Party since it was formed just prior to the 2004 election. The new sections of the riding, the Township of Mississippi Mills at the northeast corner and rural Kingston north of Hwy. 401 may be better territory for Liberals, but Scott Reid is the acknowledged favourite to bring home the new riding for the Conservative Party. The Liberal candidate is Phillippe Archambault, who lives near Inverary. Over the four elections since 2004, Reid has increased his vote each time, reaching 57% in 2011. At the same time, Liberal Party fortunes in the riding have been sliding. In 2004, Larry McCormick, who at that time was a sitting MP from a former riding that had been swallowed by the LFL&A riding, received 30% of the vote. By 2011, Dave Remington polled only 16% for the Liberals. The NDP finished in second place in the riding in 2011 for the first time with 20% of the vote, riding the Jack Layton orange wave. John Fenick said he considers Scott Reid a friend, whom he has been working with in his role as mayor of Perth and a Lanark County Council member for ten years. He also said he knows and respects Phillipe Archambault, and realises that he has a tough hill to climb in the new riding. He said his decision to run for the NDP has to do with his view of the needs of the country at this time. “If the Conservatives under Stephen Harper form a government for five more years, at the end of that term our country will be unrecognisable. I have decided to pursue the path to Parliament Hill because I sincerely believe that as a New Democrat I can make a posi-

his year’s Inside Ride event, which took place at Sydenham High School on May 8, seemed bigger, brighter and more spirited than in years past. That was likely due to the fact that one of SHS’s own, grade 12 student Sam Eastman, has been battling Non-Hogkins lymphoma since his diagnosis earlier this year. Soon after getting the news, friends at the school initiated the #Samstrong campaign and its force could be seen, heard and felt at the Inside Ride. The event, now in its fifth year at the school, is run by the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, a registered Canadian charity that raises money for children’s cancer programs across the country. The charity is unique in that it follows a 100% donation model of fundraising, in which all funds raised go directly to the programs. Funds from the Sydenham event will be donated to the Children’s Cancer Care Fund, a fundraising campaign run out of Kingston General Hospital and aimed at easing the financial burden on families facing a cancer diagnosis by funding the various related costs that come with a cancer diagnosis that are not covered by OHIP. The Sydenham Inside Ride attracted 26 six-member teams, with each team having raised a minimum of $300. During the onehour event, each rider from each team took a 10-minute turn at the wheel of their bike as their team members danced to the throbbing tunes expertly spun by emcee Marshall Jeske. Altogether, an incredible $14,000 was raised!

School spirit was running extraordinarily high, with teams boasting awesome costumes under team names like The New Groove, The Magic School Bus, and The Beach Babes, who sprayed loaded water guns and bounced beach balls throughout. Event coordinator Jen Davies called the Inside Ride “a one-hour party with a purpose” and she said, “These students really seem to get the idea that cancer is not just something that happens to somebody else, which is very motivating for them.” Prizes were awarded for best team spirit, best costumes, top distance cycled by a team as well as top male, top female, top volunteer and top team fundraisers. Other prizes included donated gifts from Goodlife as well as prizes collected through the school’s parent council. Sam’s family of course was out in full force as the #Samstrong team and Sam’s mother, Libby Hearn, fittingly and bravely spoke at the start of the event, updating the students and staff on Sam’s battle as he enters his fourth round of chemotherapy. “He is fighting really hard and he is doing it because he has the tremendous support of this school and this community. You are all making such a huge difference in his battle. We, his family, just wanted to say thank you and Sam wanted me to send his thanks to you all as well.” Sam had been planning to attend the event but an infection prevented him from making the trip to the school. For those who missed the event, donations can still be made until the end of November 2015 by visiting sydenham.theinsideride.com

Central Frontenac Council May 12 meeting by Julie Druker No decreased speed limit on Road 38 near Evergreen Road: Council agreed with CAO Zimmerman’s recommendation to leave the 80 km speed limit in place on Road 38 from Evergreen Road to 100 metres north of the Hydro One transmission facility at Hinchinbrooke. Zimmerman was instructed by council to look into the matter and found after referencing Book 6 of the Ontario traffic manual that reducing the speed to 60km/hour would “be problematic”. “This highway has been designed for speeds of 80km/hour and the request does not comply with the Ontario traffic manual recommendations,” he said. He added, “If we reduced the speed limit there we would have to look at all areas where school buses pick up kids along 38 and in our township that would be somewhat problematic.” In lieu of reducing the speed limit, the CAO recommended additional brushing in that area to improve sight lines. This was approved by council. Volunteer Septic Re-inspection Program The volunteer septic program will be available to property owners on Big Clear Lake and Silver Lake this year, at a cost of $6000 to the township. Of those lake associations wanting to offer the program to their members, Silver Lake was chosen because it is defined as an at-capacity trout lake, highly sensitive to pollutants and Big Clear Lake because it has a high density of structures. Crow Lake is the last at-capacity lake in the

township that has yet to be offered the program. Council approves tandem snow plow truck purchase: Council approved CAO Jim Zimmerman’s recommendation for the purchase of a tandem snow plow trick from Oakes Truck sales at a cost of $222,650. The truck will replace the township’s truck # 4, a 2000 Ford Sterling Tri-axle. Councilor Dewey asks to see the numbers: Councilor Tom Dewey requested that council be able to see financial reports from recreation committees in order to see what monies are going in and out. He cited the model that the Heritage Festival uses in their annual reports. Council passed a motion requesting staff to look into the matter. Delegations: Catherine Tysick of Northern Frontenac Community Services and David Townsend of Southern Frontenac Community Services spoke to council about new shared initiatives between the two organizations. The first addresses the homeless population in North, South and Central Frontenac townships through a Homelessness Prevention program, and the Housing First and Rapid Re-housing programs. With extra funding there are now two staff members instead of one who are providing support to the homeless populations in all three townships. Townsend cited that in 2014 SFCS dealt with 216 households in imminent threat of losing their homes, and NFCS

Court report

Sydenham High’s wild parsnip bed by Wilma. Kenny hen the Sydenham high school addition was completed last year, part of the structure included an imposing stepped concrete retaining wall on the west side, looming over Mill Street. The three-foot deep terraces were filled with earth and planted. Landscaping is the last step in a construction project, when time and money are usually running short. In my experience this often leads to compromises in quality and execution, regardless of what the original plan may have been. By the end of last summer some of the plants had flourished, especially the grasses. But it was immediately apparent that the earth they were set in had not been the good quality sterilized potting soil and compost that an investment in a new planting deserves. Instead the fill appeared to have come straight from a field or roadside, rich with its own assortment of seeds. This spring the steps are rampant with hardy perennials: dandelions, Manitoba maples, chicory and burdock. Many other plants are outlaws with their profiles on the Province’s noxious weed list: bull thistles, wild vetch so deep-rooted and fragile-stemmed that it’s almost impossible to eradicate by pulling, Queen Anne’s lace, quack grass, and worse. Much worse. Tall clumps of ragweed towered last fall above the rest of the growth, and will have reseeded. (Allergic to rag-

weed? Then you know why this plant’s on the list.) Most alarming of all is the wild parsnip thriving everywhere along the steps, preparing to bloom and reseed this summer. Wild parsnip is closely related to giant hogweed. Its sap causes the skin to react to sunlight, resulting in intensely painful slow-healing sores, and is also possibly carcinogenic. Now even if someone tries to sort out this horticultural disaster, it will be a dangerous as well as difficult job. Questions come to mind: why was poor quality weed-riddled fill used for these plantings? Why no mulch, which would have helped prevent at least some unwanted seeds from germinating? Why was there no provision to have someone with good plant recognition skills weed the steps thoroughly during the first summer? Did any thought go into the choice of plants used? A more careful selection and interplanting of dwarf evergreens, vines, various coloured day lilies and grasses would have filled the steps fully and attractively in a year or two, minimizing ongoing maintenance. Instead the school now presents a noxious weed-ridden eyesore to anyone approaching from the west or heading down the main street into the village, an annoyance and hazard to both students and community. Assuming the Limestone Board is responsible for the final product of their building project, what do they intend to do this summer to address this mess?

Patrick Brown and Quebec

interviewed Randy Hillier on Monday about the new Ontario Conservative Party leader, Patrick Brown. He said Brown had stolen the show from Kathleen Wynne after Quebec Premier Couillard addressed the legislature early that morning and I should check out the media reports. Indeed, Patrick Brown managed to score a solid blow on Wynne at his very first opportunity, simply by congratulating the Premier of Quebec on his ability to both balance the Quebec budget and keep hydro rates low. The message Mr. Brown was not so subtly delivering was that hydro rates in Ontario are on the way up and the province has a budgetary deficit of almost $9 billion this year. There is a lot of history to hydro rates in Ontario and Quebec, and no doubt Mr. Brown and his party will make their policy differences with the Wynne Liberals very clear in the near future. It is not a stretch to say the Liberals are vulnerable on everything to do with hydro. But as far as the budget deficit is concerned, does Mr. Brown want Ontario to follow in Quebec’s footsteps, as he indicated on Monday? Budgets are complicated documents, but they do relate directly to income taxes. The provincial income tax rate in Quebec is 16% on the first $41,495 of taxable income; 20% on the next $41,455; and 24% on the next $17,000. The rate in Ontario is 5.05% on the first $41,000 of taxable income; 9.15% on the next $41,000; 11.16% on the

next $68,000; and 12% after that. An Ontario resident earning $1,000,000 a year pays less provincial tax on the millionth dollar they make than each and every Quebec resident pays on the very first taxable dollar they make, 4% less. I’m no economist, but it’s fair to say that if Ontarians paid the income taxes that Quebecois pay, the Ontario budget might indeed be easy to balance. I don’t believe Patrick Brown is seriously proposing that we triple Ontario income tax rates in order to balance the books in Ontario. I believe he was trying to make an impression, to put Kathleen Wynne on the defensive and make a few headlines for himself. In future he might want to be careful about elevating the government of Quebec over that of Ontario. As mistake-ridden as Ontario politics can be, they have problems in Quebec as well.

ennis P. Daye, 28, pled guilty to a charge of threatening death/bodily harm. On April 13 Daye was heard at his residence on Zealand Road in the company of his family by neighbour Richard Goodberry cursing Goodbery’s daughter and wife. He also threatened Brock Goodberry and Helen Vinkle near Gray’s grocery store in Sharbot Lake. Again that evening Daye threatened his neighbours at his residence and a violent incident took place there that same evening, wherein Daye assaulted Richard Goodberry with a wooden plank. Judge Griffin asked what led up to the event and was told that a number of previous encounters had culminated in the events of April 13. Daye was put on probation, ordered to keep the peace and is forbidden to be within 100 metres of the three individuals involved in the incident. He was granted two opportunities to move his belongings from the residence, however. William R. McDonald, 64, pled guilty to obstructing justice. On January 14, 2015, McDonald was pulled over by the OPP for not wearing a seat belt and later was found to be driving with an expired vehicle registration sticker and insurance. A few days later McDonald faxed paper work to the OPP detachment in Sharbot Lake that included a new insurance policy that he had since acquired from Aviva, although at the time that he was apprehended by the OPP, he had claimed to be insured by State Farm. In his defense McDonald’s lawyer Clyde Smith told Judge Griffin that at the time McDonald was under pressure and had been recuperating from heart surgery. Provincial Crown Natalie Thompson requested that McDonald receive a suspended sentence and 12 months probation. Judge Griffin gave McDonald a conditional discharge and 12 months probation and ordered that McDonald make a $500 donation to a charity of his choice, after which time he would no longer be required to report to his probation officer. Ian McCullough, 22, charged with two counts of failure to comply with a probation order on February 13, 2015, pled guilty to both counts. Duty Counsel Doug Caldwell asked that the Judge Griffin not sentence McCullough to jail time since prior time served did not help his situation and further that his drug issues have been addressed and he had been cooperating with his probation officer. The Crown asked for a 30-day sentence, arguing that McCullough has not been making much progress in the counseling sessions he has been attending. In his defense McCullough reported to the judge that he had been clean for a while and has made progress. As McCullough had pleaded guilty to the charges, thereby accepting responsibility for his actions, Judge Griffin ordered that a seven-day sentence be served. First Appearances Christine Scott, 54, charged with fraud, will be sending a cheque to the person who lost funds and will return to court on June 15.

ayor Vandewal opened the meeting with the announcement that a closed session would follow the regular meeting, to discuss “legal and land issues.” Proposed Process for Official Plan Adoption Every five years, the Township’s Official Plan has to be reviewed and brought up to date. In December 2013 the Township Planning Department forwarded a revised draft of the Official Plan to The Ministry of Municipal Affairs for review and comments. This plan contained a number of internal changes and provincially mandated changes. In October 2014, the Ministry returned a number of comments which have now been addressed in the current draft plan. Next steps in the process are: June 2, Council reviews the draft, and on July 13 the public will be invited to an open house presentation of the Current proposed Official Plan. This will be followed on Aug 18 with a public meeting before the final draft comes to Council in early September for adoption, followed by submission to the Ministry for final approval. Larcon Zoning Amendment This concerns a proposed lot addition and rezoning of a one hectare parcel of land on the Wilton Road on the southern edge of Harrowsmith. The lot addition would have to be rezoned as industrial to match the already existing industrial zone of the property it will join. Neighbour Pat Lalonde has twice expressed her fear that this industrial property will damage her property value and be incompatible with a residential area. (The stated plan is to eventually enlarge the storage rental business that is on the existing industrial lot.) Planner Mills noted that the Township’s zoning by-law would require a site plan agreement with stipulation for a substantial buffer combining berm and plantings along the road front before any further development could take place on the prop-

andy Hillier took a back seat during the Conservative Party of Ontario’s recent leadership campaign. This was in stark contrast to the role the two-time incumbent MPP played the last time his party chose a leader. At that time he ran for the position and threw his support behind the eventual winner, Tim Hudak. “I felt that it was more important for the party membership to make the decision about the new leader rather than being influenced by members of the caucus,” he said. “I voted for Patrick.” Hillier said he is very encouraged by how the newly elected party leader, Patrick Brown, energized and re-invigorated the party through the leadership campaign. “To put it in context, in ‘09 there were

The program offers a volunteer hospice service coordination, bereavement support, outreach volunteer training and administrative support and better connects the local health care professionals with clients in need in their communities. Crow Lake sign trials Council was hesitant initially to approve Karen Lahey’s requests for a series of community signs to be placed on existing township signs located at the entrance and exit points of Crow Lake Village. The new signs, which were a project of Villages Beautiful, include the following wording: “Welcome to our beautiful community: please slow down and enjoy the view”.

Lahey said that she would be happy to put up and take down the signs herself and that as a last resort, she would place them on private property. After much discussion considering a future official signage policy, Councilor Brent Cameron said Lahey’s request should be approved because the signs seem to be in keeping with township ideals.

Lahey is hoping that the signs will slow traffic on Crow Lake Road, which she said is an issue that she has been concerned about for years. The concern raised by a number of councilors as well by CAO Zimmerman was primarily that an approval would allow anyone to make a similar request. Currently the township has no set criteria for signage and a policy would require some definite guidelines. Zimmerman said, “I would caution council that once you allow private signs to be placed within a right of way, that opens the issue up to everyone who might want to follow suit and it would very difficult to determine what signs are appropriate and what signs are not.” He added that the signs would also need to be maintained.

by Jeff Green Randy Hillier’s standing within the party has improved since former leader Tim Hudak stepped down shortly after last year’s election, which brought a fresh majority to the Liberal Party under Kathleen Wynne. Under Hudak, Hillier had been relegated to the back benches for challenging an internal party ruling over a leadership review. But since Hudak left, he said he is “back on the front benches” serving as party critic for the Labour portfolio. “Patrick won the vote in 80 of the ridings. He has a mandate to take his time and help us rebuild and reform the party, to take our time and bring forth a clear, coherent message to deliver to Ontarians in three years’ time,” he said.

It takes an astonishing amount of effort and innovation” he said. Hillier added that the public will see the impact of Patrick Brown over time. “With only three weeks left in this sitting and him not in the house, there is not much that will happen. It takes time to consult with the membership and come up with policies that reflect what the membership stands for. That is something we have been missing. We have waited for the leader and his group to announce our policies and that hasn’t worked for us,” he said.

A good tan doesn’t protect the skin from damage. As much as 80% of premature facial aging is believed to be due to sun exposure. There are better ways of protecting our skin, like restricting hours of exposure, frequent use of sunscreens, clothing that covers the skin and wearing a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses. It is best to avoid outdoor activities between 10 am and 4 pm when your shadow is shorter than you. The UV index is highest during these hours. If you are taking medications that cause increased risk of sunburn, protect yourself by minimizing sun exposure. Some common medications that cause this are Hydrochlorothoriazide, Furosemide, Ibuprofen and Naproxen. Ask your pharmacist if you are not sure if your medications cause sun-sensitivity. Solving crossword puzzles has always been touted as a way of keeping the mind sharp. New research says that learning a new skill like digital photography or quilting can result in better memory improvement. If the new digital skills include photo-editing on a computer, results were even better. In the world of nutrition and health, certain products move in and out of popularity when looked into further. Selenium was one of those minerals that everyone was taking ten years ago to help reduce risks of heart attacks. Many studies proved there is no evidence selenium lowers the risk of heart attacks. There are so many conflicting stories in the world of health. Our pharmacists keep current on all the latest research to be better able to answer your health questions.

· Comings and goings this week included "yours truly" off on a trip to Holland where it's a bit cooler, but has wonderful tulips, splendid windmills, and is a truly enthusiastic country. What a privilege and honour it is to travel on tour with two World War 2 veterans, and distinguished journalist Ted Barris and spouse. There were 52 persons on the trip. In the photo I am visiting the grave of my uncle, the late Douglas Maxwell Wagg, carrying a cross made years ago by the late Fred Smith of Mountain Grove, who made a lot of them for me to give out to folks in hospital. I saved this one cross hoping to one day take it to my uncle’s grave. My uncle is buried at the Groesbeek Commonweath War Graves Commission cemetery where 2,338 Canadians are buried. When our two vets, proudly wearing uniforms and medals, took part in the big festival/parade at Wageningeng where the liberation documents were signed, the young children would rush out to shake their hands, and get their photo taken. On many occasions I was moved to tears at the bravery, sacrifices, hardships and ways that folks pulled together in a truly tur-

Also my Dad served in Holland during this time period, so it was memorable to visit some of the places he talked about, and to visit the family whom he befriended so long ago. Thank God for memories and for ways that we can all make a difference. It's a dream come true. · Also good to see Terry and Sharon Mercer back home to Henderson for a few days, and of course the black flies are back with a vengeance. · Many folks are refreshing grave flowers in preparation for the cemetery memorial service held annually on Father's Day, in June. A large number of local families are planning an up-coming mammoth yard sale - held over two days at the end of May - so stay tuned for more details. · Speaking of graves, I can't say enough about how well cared for the Netherlands graves are. School students help to tend the graves, research the lives of the departed, and plant wonderful flowers. It is truly miraculous.

North Frontenac Dark Skies viewing event O by Betty Hunter

nce again this year we will be having planned events at the North Frontenac Star Gazing Pad. This facility is located at 5816 Road 506 between Ardoch and Fernleigh. The Pad will be available for your own group viewings once the ARCAL Lighting System has been installed at the Helipad adjacent to the Star Gazing Pad; we hope in the very near future. The first event is being held on May 16 with a rain date of May 23. As I write this, the weather forecast is looking very good for the 16th. If you have not had the opportunity to attend one of these events let me inform you of what goes on: Our “amateur astronomers” have been star gazing since they were young and have decades of knowledge of the dark skies and all we can see. They are our guides and teachers for these events. They bring their telescopes with them so everyone has the opportunity to see what they are talking about. It is a great interactive evening with very enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers. The event of May 16 twilight will start around 9pm and will start with viewing Venus and Jupiter which provides a breathtaking showing on its own. As the sky continues to darken more stars and galaxies will appear. As written by one of our friends “This time of year the Milky Way lies right on our horizon in the evenings, so we will have to wait a few months to enjoy its treasures. Its absence now gives us an unobscured look at other galaxies besides our own. In other words spring is the Season of Galaxies. The spring constellations, especially Virgo, Coma Berenices and Leo are home to scores of galaxies of all sizes and shapes. Even though most of them are more than 50,000,000 light years away, they are well within reach of small telescopes. So they will be our main focus on the 16th.” This event will start around 9pm and continue until all participants have left (our astronomers are accustomed to being up all night). These events are for every member of the family and provide an amazing opportunity to learn about our beautiful night skies. There is an outhouse facility on site. Bring your lawn chairs, binoculars, telescopes (if you own one), warm clothing (as it cools down and gets damp as the evening moves on). You will also require insect repellants as the bug season has started. Come on out and bring a friend. You won’t be disappointed. Hope to see everyone there.

Bellrock residents weigh in on proposed road/bridge work

Mark Segsworth leading the public meeting

t the second public information meeting regarding the proposed $1.2 to $1.5 million revitalization of the village of Bellrock, which was held at the community hall on May 7, South Frontenac public works manager Mark Segsworth highlighted the proposed design for close to 30 residents who attended the meeting. The proposed plan, which was designed by the Greer Galloway Group of Kingston, has numerous aims. It addresses drainage issues in the village and includes the resurfacing of a number of roads with asphalt and the construction of sidewalks on Mill Street, First Lake and Levesque Roads. To address residents' concerns about speed and safety issues on First Lake Road, the road will be reshaped and de-hilled and a four-way stop will also be put in at the intersection of First Lake Road and Mill Street. According to Segsworth the plan is “consistent with the village revitalization that we have done in Battersea and Perth Road Village and it meets our goals of trying to build for the future.” Prior to the meeting Segsworth said that suggestions and concerns raised by residents at the first public meeting, which took place in February this year, were considered and addressed. Property owners at that time were mainly concerned about the proximity of the new resurfaced roads to the houses and the costs and necessity of new sidewalks. The design includes an urban cross section (new curbs and gutters) on First Lake Road and Mill Street. The drainage and standing water issues will be addressed by constructing a number of ditches and swales, and will require that the township acquire some private property and easements on three separate pieces of property located in the village. Segsworth said that he is hoping to finalize the plan

and put it up for tender in the next few weeks. This year's budget has socked away $600,000 towards the costs of the project and another $600,000 will be put into next year's budget. Construction is expected to get underway after Labour Day this year and the expected completion date is in the summer of 2016. Some of the concerns raised by residents at the meeting included the cost of maintaining the sidewalks in the winter and whether the micro blasting needed at a few locations in the village would affect local wells. Segsworth took note of a number of other concerns, including replacing trees that need to be removed. A total of 11 private properties in the village would be directly affected by the project, some by as little as one metre. Long Swamp Bridge A second public meeting held at the hall immediately following the first focused on a number of proposed alternatives as to how to deal with the dilapidated bridge on Long Swamp Road just south of the village. The bridge is one of 52 bridge structures in the township. It has been deemed unsafe because its decking is insecure and it sits under water for at least one month each spring. It is part of a class 6 road that sees just 50 vehicles daily. It was established at the meeting that the road is primarily used by residents in the summer and winter months. Residents voiced their opposition to removing the bridge and thereby closing the road since they said that the road offers quicker access to their homes while providing a direct link to commerce and services in Verona for residents from outlying areas. It is also an important detour route when Highway 38 is closed. The road is used by emergency service vehicles and the bridge is used recreationally by residents for fishing and as a put in. Troy Steele and David Bonsall, engineers from Wills Engineering in Kingston who were hired by township staff to propose the alternatives for dealing with the bridge, outlined four options, none of which Segsworth said would be undertaken for four or five years. These options included doing nothing; removing the bridge and closing the road; rehabilitating the bridge; or replacing it. The “do nothing” option, while it has no immediate costs, poses future liability issues since the bridge would eventually become unsafe. The second option, to remove the bridge, would cost approximately $50,000, but was the option least

Grandmothers by the Lake O n May 6, Grandmothers by the Lake hosted a gathering of Eastern Ontario groups featuring Ida Mukuka, a Stephen Lewis Foundation Project coordinator in Sub Sahara Africa. The chairs of the assembled groups felt there was a need to re-energize our grannies, to inspire them and to remind us all of the very important fight we committed to in 2006. About 60 grandmothers from five chapters: the Kingston Grandmother Connection, the Apple Route Grannies, the Lanark Perth Grannies, the Belleville Quinte Grannies and the Grandmothers by the Lake met in Harrowsmith to network, share a potluck lunch and to listen to Ida.

The day was devoted to Ida. She showed a power point presentation featuring pictures highlighting some of the projects she visits. She elaborated on the intricacies, pitfalls and successes of Adele Colby and Ida Mukuka her daily tasks, where one project can quickly turn into ten new ones. She explained that she starts addressing one issue and inevitably secondary side issues surface and they too must be handled. Never a dull moment! After a delicious lunch provided by all assembled we went into a Q &A session facilitated by Janet Solberg. Many questions followed. Ida and Janet ably and eloquently addressed the questions. An inspired group of grannies left the gathering raring to go, recommitted to “not rest until they can rest”.

read with interest the notice in the last issue of the Frontenac News calling for tenders for Road 38 overpass removal. There are probably not too many people in Sharbot Lake today who were living here prior to the construction of the overpass. I am one of them. These pictures were taken looking east to Road 38 from the backyard of our house where we lived beside the K&P tracks from late 1930 until around 1943. There is no overpass in the 1933 picture (circled). The other picture showing the overpass was taken in 1936. I am fairly certain that Road 38 crossed the tracks just west of the location of the existing overpass. In both pictures, you can see what looks like white guardrails crossing the tracks. Also in the pictures is the water tower for the trains. It seems like we are resetting the clock back 80 years. Interesting! - Francis Dowdall

popular with residents as it would close the road. Replacing the bridge at an estimated capital cost of $400,000 would resolve all issues best, but it is by far the most expensive of the four options. The residents at the meeting seemed most supportive of rehabilitation. At an estimated capital cost of $150,000, the rehabilitation option also address safety issues and would increase the bridge's load bearing capacity likely to 10 tons, though it would require ongoing maintenance. Segsworth seemed pleased with the input he received, but added, “This not going to happen anytime soon but we are wanting to know which way area residents are leaning as far as the alternatives go.”

Doreen Davis and the First Nations roots of Frontenac County - Part 1 by Jeff Green n the copy of the "County of a Thousand Lakes" at the Sharbot Lake branch of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library, there is a hand-written note underneath the dedication at the front of the book. The dedication says “This account of the history of Frontenac County is dedicated to the people of the county, to those of past generations who developed a new and empty land ...” and the note says “It wasn't empty – it was invaded by another people searching for wealth, your heritage is theft". The book, which was put together in the late 1970s as a massive community project the likes of which has not been seen in Frontenac County before or since, is certainly scant in its treatment of the Algonquin heritage of Frontenac County. There is a section at the beginning by Ron Vastokas of Trent University that talks about the Algonkians, but it includes a proviso that says, “Since very little archaeology has been done in Frontenac County, ... , a brief outline of the larger area will provide the background for a later consideration of a few specific sites within the county.” He then goes on to talk about the Algonkian speakers who inhabited the Canadian Shield, only considering the pictographs at Mazinaw Rock “as one of the most spectacular” examples of paintings that are attributed to Algonkian shamans. The conclusion that Vastokas draws at the end of his piece is that “at the time of the

arrival of European settlers, therefore, the Algonkian hunters and gatherers lived in the harsh environment of the Shield.” Neither the section of the book that is dedicated to settlement nor the section dedicated to Bedford Township make any reference to Algonquins living in the region or reserve lands being set aside for the use of Algonquin families in the vicinity of Crow and Bobs Lake in 1844. The section of the book that concerns Oso district starts with a description of the photo that hangs in the Oso Hall to this day. “Tradition supports the words on the back of the picture which say 'Mr and Mrs Francis Sharbot came up from the Fall River and pitched their tepee on the shores in the year 1830 and gave the lake its name.' They were full blooded Indians of the Mohawk tribe and were considered the best family of Indians in the County of Frontenac, honest and reliable,” says the County of 1000 Lakes in the only direct reference to an Aboriginal family in its 572 pages. In retrospect, it is not a total surprise that a book written at that time would ignore the fact that there were people living in Frontenac County before it was formally 'settled'. Since the County of 1000 Lakes was published, the profile, certainly of the Algonquin people who have roots in the Rideau and Mississippi Valleys, which take up the northern two-thirds of the county, has risen. Events such as the wild rice dispute in the

early 1980s, the establishment of community organisations and later First Nations structures such as the Ardoch and later the Sharbot Lake Algonquins, the Algonquin Land Claim process, as well as court rulings about inherent rights and the duty to consult, have changed the politics of Frontenac County. Much of Frontenac County, is now recognised as being part of the Algonquin Land claim, which has been slowly progressing since 1994. The personal history of Doreen Davis, who has been chief of the Shabot Obaadjiwan (formerly Sharbot Lake Algonquins) ever since 1999 and the regional Algonquin Nation Representative at the land claim table, has taken many twists and turns just as her community has. Chief Doreen (no one seems to call her Chief Davis) is a born and raised Frontenac County resident who attended Sydenham High School, lived on Desert Lake Road and raised a family. Hers is also the story of an Frances and Mary Sharbot Algonquin who was born on the was granted the Bedford tract.

BMO celebrates 50 years in Northbrook

By Jeff Green The branch was established after Robert Bell, the manager at the Tweed branch, noticed that a lot of customers at their location came from the Northbrook area, and would likely be better served with a local branch. Pretty much from the start, customers took to having a local bank, and BMO (as it is now known) certainly took hold with the local community. American-based cottagers opened accounts in order to change money and pay their taxes; it appeared that local municipalities were happy to The original trailer that housed the Bank of Montreal in Northbrook be able to deal with a branch manager locally; and the pern 1965 a new business opened up at the corner of Glas- manent residents and local businesses jumped on board tonbury Rd. and Hwy. 41 in downtown Northbrook.

Sydenham Lake Canoe Club programs

Coach Cia & LITS - (l-r) Cia Myles, Rhiannon Murphy, George Willes, Sebastien L'Abbe by Helen Parfitt ydenham Lake Canoe Club will be offering an exciting variety of paddling programs this summer. SLCC, now in its 18th year at its Sydenham location, has its roots in the Cataraqui Canoe Club, a sprint racing canoe club established in 1886 in Kingston. The season will begin in mid-May with the After School Learn-to-Train Program. This program will allow youth who intend to register in the sprint paddling program to get a head start on the season. The Master’s program starts the same day. This program is for those 18 and over who want to paddle either recreationally or competitively. Paddling is a fun way to work out as it works the upper body, abdominal core, and back muscles. In July, the club will also be offering the Canoe Kids Day Camp and

morning Kayaking Lessons. The Canoe Kids Day Camp and kayaking lessons program are similar to the Red Cross swimming program in that there are attainable skill levels that paddlers can achieve. The week-long program involves paddling, and playing onthe-water games that indirectly lead to skill development. At the end of the week, paddlers will receive a bronze, silver or gold ribbon and certificate to recognize their level of achievement. “They can complete all three levels of the program in less than a month if they choose, or they can take one or two skill levels per summer,” says Parfitt. The club will continue its tradition of offering its Competitive Sprint Paddling program, an intensive competitive paddling program for paddlers who enjoy the fun of serious competition. Sprint paddlers train daily to compete on weekends in divisional and provincial canoe and kayak CKC-sanctioned regatta events held throughout Ontario. These regattas are also open to any youth or adult paddler registered in our week long programs. It will be a particularly exciting summer in Sydenham this year, as SLCC will be hosting the Eastern Ontario Divisional Regatta on August 8 and 9 at Sydenham Point. Sprint paddling athletes, age 15 and under, from all over Ontario will

An ATM machine, the first one north of Hwy. 7 between Perth and Marmora, followed in the mid-90s. Over the last 15 years or so, the necessity for office space to talk about the range of banking needs of customers has outstripped the need for tellers, so the number of offices in the branch has increased as the number of teller stations has been reduced. This was done to better serve the clientele, by bringing a personal and more private atmosphere to the banking experience. The current branch manager, Jennifer Baker, moved to the branch five years ago this week. Baker, who has local roots and lives in Tweed, says working at the branch is a dream job for her. “We are able to offer such a full range of banking services, and meet with people directly in their own community to talk about investing, commercial accounts, lending, financial planning and daily banking,” she said. Next week, on Wednesday, May 20, the staff will mark the 50th anniversary of the branch, which opened on May 17 in 1965. The BMO senior Vice-President, Sandra Henderson and the regional Vice-president, Danielle Williams will be on hand with branch personnel for the festivities, as well as a number of former branch managers. A BBQ celebration is open to all and starts at 11 a.m. and, yes indeed, there will also be cake. For further information, call the branch at 613-336-2696.

Frontenac County Sustainability breakfast I by Jonathan Davies

t was by all accounts a record turnout at Frontenac County's Sustainability Breakfast on May 8 at the Grace Centre in Sydenham. Interested citizens, representatives from each of the county's municipal councils, as well as people engaged in issues ranging from watershed management, social housing, services for the disabled, and agriculture, to name a few, took the opportunity to learn from presenters and network with potential partner organizations. The event, hosted annually to celebrate the diverse contributions across Frontenac's communities towards sustainability, is part of the implementation of the county's Sustainability Plan, Directions for Our Future. Desert Lake Gardens supplied a delicious meal, which included a range of locally-sourced products. Local food – an issue prioritized in the plan - would be discussed over the course of the morning, along with sustainable agriculture and watershed stewardship, but sustainability, in the context of the plan, goes beyond what usually comes to mind – matters of land, water, and air – and includes social and cultural dimensions. The priorities identified for 2015, for example, include a focus on low-impact tourism, the restoration of ecologicallyminded farming, and supporting lake water quality, but the Official Plan also includes issues such as transportation and access to affordable housing, particularly for seniors. “Sustainability Plans are often thought of as being about green energy and energy conservation, and the social and cultural pillars can quickly be forgotten,” notes Alison Vandervelde, communications officer with the County and organizer of the breakfast. She also points out that the content discussed over the course of the morning is evidence that the

community has taken to this broader view of sustainability, as cultural and environmental issues seemed to receive equal focus. While the county leads the discussions around Directions for Our Future, the process is not one of top-down directives but of community-coordinated initiatives. As Vandervelde points out, many projects are led by townships, community groups, or a combination of these, along with direction from the county itself. Within the past five years, projects have included a para-medicine pilot project in Marysville; a seniors' housing pilot project, and the subsequent establishment of council's Seniors Housing Task Force; and funding for a variety of “Small-Scale Community Funding Initiatives,” which have focused in part on infrastructure such as trails, bridges and hydrants. Susan Hall, vice-president and partner at LURA, a collaborative planning consultancy, spoke to the full hall about her experience working with counties and municipalities across Ontario and in other parts of Canada. Her presentation, entitled “Sustainability 2.0,” focused on the need for local governments and their partners in sustainability to step away from “silo-style decision making” and find ways of collaborating effectively. She also stressed the importance of having key people involved in projects who are connected to those with the power to make decisions. She noted that while shared resources and financial ben-

Viking Cuts for Cancer raises over $4700 By Misti Harnden

On April 29, North Addington Education Centre held a Cuts for Cancer event. This event is currently ranked third for all Cuts for Cancer fundraisers online across Ontario. Three students (Alexus Wagner, Selena Pelicos and Terri-Lynn Rosenblath) and three teachers (Melissa Randle, Krista Walker and Leanne Shepherd) had their hair cut, by local hairdresser Teri Woods. In addition to the over $4000 collected for the hair cutting event, funds were raised by a silent auction, talent show and money jar campaign. During the event over 3 feet of hair was cut to be donated. There was a tie for the money jar campaign winner. Tim Pelow and Josh Goodfellow shaved their legs, Edna Lessard begrudgingly wore a Toronto jersey and Leanne Shepherd ate a live worm. Although not the winners, Katie Ohlke got a makeover by a student, Candice Bovard will wear her hair in a Mohawk and Valerie Allan will take part in a pie in the face

efits are key to effective collaborations, of equal importance is having opportunities to network with and learn from potential and existing partner organizations and citizens. Furthermore, in order to be effective, those charged with addressing sustainability need not only to identify issues that are most relevant to the community's needs, but also to engage the public with the right message and the right media. Engagement efforts appear to have been well-received in Frontenac County if attendance at Friday's event are any indication. Two opportunities the county provides for public consultation, beyond the Sustainability Breakfast, are a fall workshop, where the community's input is gathered to help inform the following year's priorities, and monthly Sustainability Advisory Committee meetings, where members of the public may present on issues they would like the committee to consider.

Confidence in Mathematics

This column by retired mathematician and seasonal Maberly resident, Edward Barbeau, is for your mathematical amusement. Its author is very happy to correspond with readers about mathematical matters, and hopes that the column will turn out to be a dialogue with readers of the Frontenac News. His email address is barbeau@math. utoronto.ca.

uppose we write down any number with more than one digit, like 295. Now take the product of its digits: 2 x 9 x 5 = 90. The result in this case is smaller than the number that we started with. If we try this a few more times, we keep getting a smaller result. For example, 2899 gives us the result 2 x 8 x 9 x 9 = 1296. Will this always happen? In other words: given any number with at least two digits, is it always true that it is larger than the product of its digits? The first reaction of many readers might be that there is no way they can get anywhere with this question. Which is a pity, since there is no more to solving this problem than solving any number of the difficulties that one encounters in everyday life. So the first thing to realize is that you are perfectly capable of understanding what is going on. If you have confidence that the solution is within reach, then you are well on your way. The second thing is to accept that the answer might not come immediately. You might have to think about it awhile, and the solution might depend very much on how you look at the situation. It might be necessary to look at a few more examples to give you the proper insight. With these comments, I will leave you to it. Continued elsewhere in the paper

MERA art exhibition T

he artist featured for the month of May at the MERA Schoolhouse in McDonalds Corners is Barb Mingie. Her exhibition will run until May 29. Barb has always had a passion for both flowers and colour, which she demonstrates in her watercolour paintings inspired largely from flowers on the farm or from photos taken during traveling experiences or family favourites. Barb is primarily self-taught, though she has also benefited from the influence of several mentors. Come and see the delightful work of this local artist anytime the Schoolhouse is open during the month of May. You can meet the artist at her vernissage on Sunday, May 24 from 2 - 4pm. Refreshments will be served. For details please visit www.meraschoolhouse.org

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY - TO FILL A VACANCY RE-ADVERTISING WITH A REVISED SALARY

using easy to find spring foraged greens along with some of the early cultivated greens in gardens and in the farmers' markets that are ramping up this week (The Frontenac market in Verona will be open for its third week this Saturday at Prince Charles School, the Sharbot Lake Market starts its 2015 season at Oso Beach, as does the McDonalds Corners market at the MERA schoolhouse) Also, Saturday is opening day for the Seed to Sausage store – a food extravaganza dubbed the Day of the Pig. This recipe celebrates all these things and can be cooked in minutes. It can be made with whatever is on hand or the whole day can be spent finding things to add to it. For pasta I would recommend anything bitesized, such as Fusilli, Rotini, Penne, or Farfalle (bow ties) the classic Primavera Pasta. As far as the greens are concerned, the cooking depends on what you have. One of the unusual, and my new favourite, of the primavera greens, are spring stinging nettles. (see preparation instructions at the end) As far as early cultivated greens go, asparagus is coming up now, and perhaps baby spinach is also available. There are no fresh peas right now, so I use frozen in this dish. Ingredients: 250 grams pasta greens – (spinach, kale, nettles, leek, wild leek, bok choy, green beans or whatever else you have) peas 1 onion 2-4 cloves garlic 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp butter red pepper flakes parmesan cheese bacon (or pancetta or guanciale) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add the pasta. Steam or boil asparagus, fiddleheads, green beans or bok choy in bite-sized pieces just until they are bright green and have

As a minimum, the incumbent shall possess technical sufficiency with the Building Code, and successful completion of the Building Code Certification Program certified by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in Building Services; (i.e. Building Structural, House, HVAC, Small Buildings, and Plumbing All Buildings) and have achievement of the Provincial Designation.

softened but not wilted, and toss them in a colander under cold water. Set aside. Mix a tablespoon of olive oil with a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan on medium high and add chopped onion. Lower the heat after a few minutes and add garlic and saute for 2 more minutes. Add spinach and/or dained frozen peas, mix together and remove from heat. The spinach will melt into the onions. When pasta is done, strain and run under water for a very short time to remove starch but not long enough to cool the pasta. Transfer to a serving bowl and mix in the steamed greens and onion mixture, red pepper flakes to taste and bit more olive oil. Apportion the pasta on serving plates. Sprinkle with grated or shaved parmesan. At this point in the preparation of this recipe I consulted Mike Mckenzie at Seed to Sausage about meat to toss on top at the very end with the parmesan. He recommended adding crisped side bacon, but said a more interesting option would be diced, pan fried pancetta (a relative of bacon, also made from pork bellies) His top recommendation, however, and one that I will try this week, is Guanciale, which is a cured meat made from pork jowls. It is said to add a more varied and interesting flavour when “fried down to produce an unmistakable depth of fatty flavour” to quote Italytravelandlife.com Serve with a glass of Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

Stinging nettles This is not something that I do. My wife Martina dons rubber gloves and picks the nettles from a large patch at the edge of our property. They are best in the spring and should be avoided once they go into flower. Keeping gloves on when she brings them in, she removes the woody parts from the bottom of the stem, leaving the top of the stem and the leaves intact, and runs cold water over them to clean off any dirt or sand. The nettles can then be steamed, boiled or sauteed in olive oil until they are dark green and a bit crunchy. Once cooked, they no longer have any stinging properties, they taste good and are off the charts as far as protein and other nutrients are concerned.

he Relay For Life leadership team is hosting a breakfast on Saturday, May 16, at the IOOF hall in Parham. This event will be an opportunity for those Relayers who have been hesitant in registering their team due to the increased registration cost, an opportunity to get their team signed up for $10 each! It is a great way to show your support to our cancer fighters as well. Breakfast is from 8 to 11am and will consist of pancakes and sausage complete with beverages. $7 for adults; $5 for kids; 12 and under. We will also have some live music with an acoustic guitar with a few of the fellows from One Busted Ego. Our Relay For Life this year will begin at noon on Saturday, June 20, and run until midnight. It is hoped that this change in timing will allow those who have never participated because of the overnight commitment, to come spend 12 hours fighting cancer with an awesome line up of music, some great food and of course, our moving luminary ceremony that will honour cancer survivors as well as those who have lost their battle to cancer. Luminaries will be on sale at the breakfast on Saturday at the cost of $5 each. Any vendor who is interested in having a table of their wares at the relay can come and pick up their information as well. For more in-

Aftermath - Confidence continued from page 11

In many of the examples you look at, you might have noticed that the resulting number has fewer digits, which will certainly make it smaller. However, the product does not always have fewer digits. Look at four-digit numbers, for instance. The product of the digits is largest when the number is 9999, and this gives us the product 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 6561, which also has four digits. While this initial idea does not always work, maybe it can be adapted. For sake of argument, take a four-digit number that begins with a 5. Then this number is surely at least 5000 = 5 x 103, while the product of its digits cannot exceed 5 x 93. Since 93 < 103, we are in business. Can you apply the same idea to any number whose first digit is 6, say? Or any other digit? At this point, we can understand why our little result is true. From the viewpoint of informal mathematics, we are finished. However, to make the argument clearly general and applicable to any number bigger than 9, we use the special language of mathematics: algebra. Suppose that n is a number with k > 2 digits for which the first digit is a. Then n is at least as large as a x 10k-1. However, as none of its digits can exceed 9, the product of the digits of n is no larger than a x 9k-1. Since 9

< 10, 9k-1 < 10k-1, so that the product of the digits of n is less than n. If you are having trouble negotiating the symbolism, go through the argument with an example, such as 5867. In this case, n = 5867, k = 4 and a = 5, and you can replace the symbols with the numbers.

Land O' Lakes quilters host a trunk show

On Tuesday, May 26, 10am -12 noon, at Pineview Free Methodist Church in Cloyne, on the lower level, when Sue Fiddes, president of the Napanee Heritage Quilters' Guild, will present a show of her quilts.

There will be a potluck lunch after the Trunk Show. Jan Easton, vice-president and Belleville representative of Quilts of Valour Canada, will be at the Trunk Show to accept the quilts that our members have made for the program. Quilts of Valour's mission is to ensure that injured Canadian Forces members are recognized for their service and commitment to our country.

Outdoors in the Land O’ Lakes Northern Leopard Frog by Lorraine Julien

he Northern Leopard frog is easily identified by its irregular shaped greenishbrown spots that cover its back and legs. The frog’s underside is a creamy white colour with light coloured ridges on either side of its back. It’s a medium sized frog reaching a length of 3 to 5 inches (7.5 to almost 13 cm) nose to rump. Females are a bit bigger than males. You’ll probably see them around your cottage this spring as they are still fairly common in lake country. A very similar, but smaller, frog is the Pickerel frog, which has spots that are more angular (square). The Northern Leopard frog ranges across most of northern North America except for the Pacific Coast. These frogs usually live near ponds and marshes but may venture into well-covered grasslands hence their other name, the Meadow frog. Though it is fairly wide spread, massive declines in its population began in the early 1970s, especially in Canada and the western U.S. The cause of the decline has not been determined but it’s likely a combination of factors: pollution, water acidity and habitat destruction. This frog is not a fussy eater and will eat just about anything that will fit into its mouth. Patience really pays off - it can sit still for

ages and wait for prey to wander by, then pounce with its powerful legs. Food on the menu includes: beetles, ants, flies, worms, smaller frogs (including their own species) and even small birds and garter snakes. In turn, frogs of all types are a tasty treat for turtles, larger snakes, herons, raccoons and numerous other predators. In captivity, Leopard frogs have lived as long as 9 years but in the wild, probably 3 to 4 years would be the maximum. Their eggs are laid in a jelly-like mass usually attached to submerged vegetation. The call of the Leopard frog is best described as a kind of chuckling sound made by rubbing wet hands on a balloon. It’s wonderful to see and hear our beautiful songbirds, but one of the best harbingers of spring (for me) is the sound of hundreds of frogs, and peepers singing their hearts out. Our resident bullfrog usually joins in with his base tones every so often. If you want to help preserve amphibians and wetlands you should consider joining Frogwatch Ontario. You’ll learn a lot and help the environment as well. Frogwatch is a great community based conservation programme sponsored by the Toronto Zoo that

Outdoors -continued from pg 14

helps to identify Ontario toads and frogs, their unique calls and the special places where they live. You can submit observations to: www.torontozoo.com/adoptapond/FrogwatchOntario.asp Your data will be used to update Ontario frog and toad distribution maps and identify important wetland habitats. Adopt-A-Pond can also be contacted by email – aap@torontozoo.ca or by phone at 416-392-5999. If you are unsure which type of frog you are trying to identify, you can email a picture to Frogwatch. You’ll find these people are a great source of information – I know, they’ve certainly helped me in the past. All frogs and toads are very active in spring and early summer when the males are calling to attract a mate. They are also seen throughout the summer, especially when froglets are emerging from the water. Dusk is the best time to monitor, but some species are also active during the day. It’s really a good thing if you see lots of frogs around your cottage as it is an indication that the lake and surrounding area is healthy and relatively free of pollutants. Of course, the fact that frogs like to eat bugs is a real bonus but I would like it even better if they could eat mice – perhaps larger frogs could eat a small mouse. Wishful thinking on my part but I’ll have to check it out! This photo of an Osprey

New art installations spark off Fieldwork’s 8th year

n May 9 over 100 guests attended the opening for the four (soon to be five) new installations. The artists each spoke about their works, which cover a wide range of topics. Master print maker Franc Van Oort’s “Eye Box” shows what a truly renaissance man he is. Van Oort built a huge camera obscura, a centuries-old optical device that led to photography and the photographic camera. It is also used by artists to observe the rules of perspective in drawing and painting. The huge box can easily house 10 people, though a maximum or four are invited in at any one time. Once inside guests can view an amazing upside-down real image of the landscape outside as it appears on the back wall through a small lens opening located on the front wall. Viewers are encouraged to turn a wheel that moves the box, allowing the viewers to observe in increments a 360 degree view of the landscape outside. Christine Nobel and Brain Barth had the theme of water in mind when they created their work titled “191 Meters”, named for the distance that the field sits above sea level. This Ottawa-based duo imagined the site as it would have been 12,000 years ago when it was covered by a glacial lake. Using thousands of coloured stakes impaled in the ground, the work aims to show the way the last remnants of the lake might have drained from the field. The stakes are arranged like a river alternating in seven different shades

of green and blue and appear like a kind of wave invading this now land-locked landscape. Kimberly Edgar, a Dawson City, Yukonbased artist whose work focuses on lino cuts, placed a number of her wheat-based bird cut outs throughout the deciduous forest on the site. The work titled “Bird Memories” recalls her younger days of bird watching with her grandmother in Ontario. Her birds are lively, colourful and playful and she has stuck them on a number of trees and rocks in and around the deciduous forest, making for a fun and impromptu game of hide and seek. Annette Hegel’s work titled “Two Guiding Principles” invokes her more politically minded concerns as an artist. This dwarfsized town, which appears both unnaturally unrooted to its landscape and devoid of life, is comprised of roughly 50 identical cookie cutter houses, each painted a bland blue with grey roofs and set amidst barren sandy roads and muddy patches of ground. It speak of dryness, desolation with no colour and no signs of human life. The two principles Hegel is addressing in this work are the James Bay Hydro-electric project and the Quebec government “supposedly respecting Indigenous ways of life”. Missing from the show was a fifth work by Gayle Young and Reinhard Reitzenstein titled “Castorimba Suspended”, which will be installed at a later date and is sure to add

the applications by a blanket resolution or else look at each project individually. He advised council “to be cautious”, citing his concern about ensuring there is a public consultation process for renewable energy projects. ”Property owners might not want to look at solar panels so I would be cautious of approving these projects without public consultation,” he said. Zimmerman then asked Hitchcock if it was possible to approve the application with conditions. Hitrchcock replied that the IESO “sees things in black and white” and that an

System Operator) application for a 500KW solar ground mount project offered through the Small Fit Solar program on a property located in Hinchinbrooke on Wilkinson Road. Council hesitated and CAO Zimmerman said he has been getting lots of similar requests for support since the IESO deadline for applications is July 13. Zimmerman pointed out that council has two options regarding this and other IESO requests. They could either approve

Kimberly Edgar and one of her “Bird Memories” another interesting dimension to the site. Also in attendance at the show were students from The Brooke Valley School with their work titled “Ornithology 101”. The group project involved the 13 students painting a number of birdhouses scattered throughout the area. Each student chose a different cavity-dwelling bird to represent and cre-

ated displays about their bird of choice. If you have yet to visit, Fieldwork it is well worth the trip and guests can enjoy numerous past installations still standing on site.

approval has to be either yes or no. Councilor Bill MacDonald said he would consider approving the application “only if a public meeting were held first”. Council in the end passed a motion receiving the information and requested that staff look into the matter further. Parham library branch update CAO Zimmerman informed council that the Kingston Frontenac Public Library CEO received a call from the Limestone District School Board (LDSB) indicating that there is

a possibility of extending the branch’s stay in the existing portable. The LDSB expects the township to pick up any ongoing incidental costs of running the facility after June 1. Zimmerman then handed out proposed draft floor plans for a new Parham Fire Station/ Community Centre, which included a 1000 square foot section that could house a selfcontained library facility if the costs fall within the budget or if council approves additional funding for it.
