Letter to implore Premier to change Green Energy Act

North Frontenac set to reject wind turbine project B

by Jeff Green

y the time this paper hits the post boxes, North Frontenac Council will very likely have declared themselves “an unwilling host” for NextEra Inc.’s proposal to construct 57 wind turbines in the township.

The company had offered a sweetener for municipal support for the project, in the form of a community vibrancy fund that would have been worth as much as $200,000 per year for 20 years, in addition to a projected increase in tax revenue of more than $100,000 per year. The money was available under two conditions: the township needed to pass a motion supporting the project; and NextEra’s bid for the project needs to be a winner in the procurement process that has been set out by Ontario’s Independent Energy Service Operator (IESO).

The motion that was proposed to Council at a Special meeting on Wednesday night (June 10) was crafted by Mayor Ron Higgins, and when contacted on Tuesday he said that he has been talking to members of Council about the NextEra proposal and is confident his stance will be endorsed by the entire Council.

“There were many red flags about this proposal as far as North Frontenac is concerned, starting with the fact that instead of being approached by the company we initially read about it in the newspaper in early March. It also involves major construction

and conflicts with the entirely different economic development strategy we have been developing,” he said. “and beyond that our residents have voiced their opposition in large numbers.”

The NextEra bid to IESO can proceed without municipal support; however the statement that North Frontenac is not a willing host will cost NextEra valuable ranking points in the procurement process, which will make it difficult for them to compete with bidders in “willing” townships While the municipal support provision was included in the latest wind energy procurement process to provide for some local input, it does not go as far as granting municipalities any authority to approve or reject proposals.

In spite of Council's decision, NextEra could still submit a winning bid, and the turbines would be built in North Frontenac. In that case all that North Frontenac Council will have accomplished by stating they were “not a willing host” will be to lose up to $10 million in revenue over 20 years.

It is this fact that led North Frontenac Mayor Ron Higgins to write a letter of complaint to Premier Wynne.

“Ultimately it is the way the province set up this process that has put us in this position. I thought it was important to explain our position to them and to add our voice to those municipalities who oppose the way the

n June 2011, I shared the stage at Relay For Life with an amazing leader; a lady who had the determination to accomplish anything that came into her mind. It was on that stage that I first thanked her for bringing Relay For Life to our area and for showing our community, participants and volunteers alike, how it’s done. I said at that event, that without Claire Macfarlane, there would be

The letter asks the Premier and the Minister of Energy to change course and begin to work with local municipalities more directly.

In the conclusion to the letter, Higgins wrote, “We implore the Minister of Energy to take this resolution and similar resolutions from other municipalities very seriously.

no Relay For Life at the Parham fairgrounds.

She is now, and will forever be, the First Lady Of Relay For Life North & Central Frontenac.

Claire was not new to volunteering as I was back then. She played numerous roles with the Canadian Cancer Society dating back to 1994. She was a residential campaign canvasser, community services chair, transportation coordinator, volunteer coordinator, volunteer driver as well as the Chair of Relay for Life from inception in 2007. And these positions overlapped each other. She had a way of knowing how to get things done.

In 2009, a friend said, “I could use your help on the Relay committee” and of course I signed up. My first impression was that Claire must be a self-employed business woman because she led her group in a very organized “time is valuable” way. Everyone was very task oriented and the meeting ran like a well-oiled machine. I was impressed that we were going to pull off this fantastic event in Parham with a budget of exactly $0.

But what an event it was! I had participated on a team the year before but being on the committee had a new set of demands. There were moments I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it, and I was the event MC!!! I had to dig really deep to find the energy to finish.

Finally, Claire made the announcement that our efforts had raised over $65,000. She was beaming. No matter what the total, her face said it all. It was the face of someone who had accomplished something to be proud of and she shared that accomplishment with each of

us. I felt it then, and I always feel it when I am at Relay For Life. The feeling that a small community of 6500 plus, can come together, walk together, share their stories, share their fears and at the end of the day, feel empowered by giving. This was what Claire wanted.

She wanted us all to come together to support each other and empower each other. I have been with the event ever since.

When Claire asked if I would be co-chair with her, I asked what I had to do and she said my most important task was to “pay attention”. I tried my best. As we went through planning the 2011 event I made it my mission to learn everything I needed to in order to continue this event in our area. She taught me the importance of delegation and team work as well as attention to detail. She reinforced my life motto, as in “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission”. She showed me how to rally people and get them excited about helping. But mostly, she encouraged me when things got stressful. She told me that things will always work out the way they are supposed to. And she was right of course.

In early 2013 I got the news that my friend and fellow cancer fighter had the disease that we had fought so hard against. It didn’t seem possible to me. And even if she did, there was no doubt in my mind that she would beat it. That year, our leadership team attacked our tasks with new found energy and vigor. We invited Claire to be our survivor speaker for 2013 and we also started

In 2013, Relay For Life North & Central grossed the highest amount of fundraised money -$72,000.

Well Claire, because of you, many people have attended Relay as survivors for a lot longer than they could have without you. Our little Relay For Life community has raised a little better than $406,000 since 2007, when there was a little lady with a plan and a deepseated love to help others. Claire, I will miss your emails of encouragement especially on the morning of June 20, when I start my last Relay For Life as Chair. My team and I will try our best to do you proud. We will miss your smiling face this year and in the years to come. Thank you for bringing Relay For Life to us and for your dedication to finding a cure. Every ride to treatment in this area, every supportive call that is made and every dollar raised from our community through this event is because of you. You will never be forgotten, my friend.

Council's job no breeze : questions for NextEra

N

extEra Energy, a subsidiary of American-owned Florida Power and Light, is proposing to install over 100 industrial wind turbines across the rolling hills of Addington Highlands and North Frontenac municipalities if their bid is successful with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) this fall. NextEra hosted two mandatory, well-attended, open houses over the weekend to inform residents of their plans, including potential sitings of wind turbines, and to answer questions the public had about their company and their proposal.

The current NextEra proposal consists of two projects, Northpoint I and Northpoint II. Northpoint I includes 50 turbines in North Frontenac generating approximately 100MW and Northpoint II is for 57 turbines in total, 50 in Addington, and an additional 7 in North Frontenac, generating approximately 114MW, if they use the suggested 2MW turbines.

NextEra is offering both municipalities a “community vibrancy fund”, if the townships provide them with a signed letter of support that they can submit with their proposal to the IESO. This letter gains them points during the application process which discounts their final proposal price and makes their bid more competitive. Points are also awarded for getting a letter of support from a local Aboriginal group.

The community vibrancy fund they are offering is $1750 per MW which would equal approximately $175,000 a year for Addington Highlands and just under $200,000 a year for North Frontenac. On top of this, the townships would also receive $1750 per kilometre of transmission line per year in their respective territories.

Because the Northpoint II project exists in both municipalities, NextEra needs to receive support resolutions from both North Frontenac and Addington Highlands on that specific project in order to achieve the discount on their proposal price.

“It's all or nothing,” Ben Greenhouse, a director for NextEra, explained. A 'yes' vote by Addington would be negated

by North Frontenac voting 'no' to the 7 proposed turbines in their area for Northpoint II. “It's not really practical, but it's a possibility,” Greenhouse responded when asked whether they'd alter their Northpoint II proposal and remove the 7 North Frontenac turbines in order to achieve a support resolution from Addington Highlands Council. This would also mean routing their transmission lines through a longer, less desirable route if they have to avoid the, ideal, corridor through North Frontenac.

Dan Carruthers, a cottage-owner on Ashby Lake, asked NextEra if the vibrancy fund is “contingent on Council saying yes, or will the community get the vibrancy fund regardless of the council vote?” “...it is contingent and the reason is...because it allows us to bid a higher price...if we don't get the support resolution we have to go with a lower price, which means that we have less room in the process...” Greenhouse explained.

The hall echoed with folks yelling 'bribe' after Greenhouse told them this.

Chris Winney, a local real estate agent, asked on behalf of people who have already signed leaseholder agreements with NextEra, that, if the community decides that they don't want the project, will NextEra “remove the encumbrances that are on title on their properties and allow them to go forward and own their land as everybody else does?”

Greenhouse responded saying that “it's an individual question on an individual basis...we're here for 20-30-40 years. We don't want to be working with people who don't want us on their land. That's a difficult relationship...we'd sit down with them and try and understand their concerns...” but he also warned that “as the process goes further and further, and more and more money and time is invested it gets more and more difficult to change.”

Alice Madigan, a concerned resident who, on Saturday, presented Council with a petition against the turbines, made a complaint to NextEra's representatives that a friend of hers had been harassed numerous times by a salesperson from the company.

“She has a sign on her property that says 'unwilling host' yet you keep harassing her to sign up. Why?” Madigan said.

“She's a recent widow...this poor lady is fragile...you're trying to wear them down.”

“If we are doing that, which I haven't heard, then we need to stop that and we will,” Greenhouse told Madigan.

When NextEra first presented their proposal to Addington Highlands Council it consisted of 100 turbines. They've since reduced that down to 50 turbines in order to “focus their resources” although between now and the proposal deadline they explained that they could be adding more turbines to the proposal.

Greenhouse suggested that they would most likely add a few more to make up for turbines that get cut out during the permitting process. During that stage of the development they may be forced to remove turbines from their plan based on their proximity to a sensitive ecological area, a house, or it being too challenging to build based on the topography.

Friday and Saturday's meetings were highly anticipated by local residents as NextEra presented preliminary maps showing possible locations of turbines as well as some photo mockups of what the landscape might look like with the turbines in place.

These photos were taken from different vantage points around the two municipalities and showed turbines in the distance, some more obvious and looming than others and some hardly visible on the horizon.

Some residents complained that the photos had been taken from very advantageous angles to show little impact and that they weren't showing a realistic representation of how things might look in the future.

“The locations I don't really see changing,” Ben Faiella, a project manager for NextEra, stressed on Saturday.

Jason Gibson, a land specialist from Canacre, the company in charge of acquiring land for NextEra, suggested it would be difficult to introduce more turbines to the current proposal.

“Between where the good wind is and the properties that we have available... with the setbacks on crazy amounts of stuff...even if we have a 200-acre lot...we end

up with 5-acres,” Gibson said.

The Ministry of Environment (MOE) regulates a minimum setback from a turbine at 550 metres and this number rises with an increase in turbines and the sound level rating of the turbines chosen for the project. These setbacks are intended to limit sound at the nearest residence to 40dB. This 40dB level is what the World Health Organization (WHO) in Europe recommends for the “protection of public health from community noise”. According to the WHO, this is “below the level at which effects on sleep and health occur... however, it is above the level at which complaints may occur.” 40dB is the equivalent to a freezer or refrigerator running measured from about 3 feet away. Theoretically, the sound would increase as you get closer to the turbine. On NextEra's 'Jericho' project, which they built in southwestern Ontario last year, the maximum sound power level from their installed 1.6MW turbines was 103dB and the MOE setbacks are such that by the time that sound travels the distance to a residence it's no louder than 40dB. A resident at the Denbigh meeting asked NextEra “would you be looking at making another submission to expand the number of turbines in the area?”

“This is our business...to build wind farms,” Greenhouse responded. “If the government puts another call out and we have a solid base here, it would make a lot of sense potentially to expand, so certainly we would look at it.”

A couple from Vennachar who have signed up their land but aren't yet on the map for a future turbine expressed excitement for the changes that could come from NextEra building in the community and hoped that their land would be chosen as a possible location for one of NextEra's turbines.

“It should be good for the area ... I'm not sure it's gonna change anything a lot but it may change something ... so I say go ahead,” the man from Vennachar said.

When asked if they were worried that turbines may decrease property values in the area the woman said, “it couldn't get any lower than it is now.”

They have hopes that a wind farm in the area would bring local jobs and new residents and stimulate the local economy.

“I don't want just maintenance jobs...I think we can get the skilled jobs ... they could be local kids,” the lady from Vennachar said.

An organization called Bon Echo Area Residents Against Turbines (BEARAT) was recently formed to create an online voice for the residents who are against the wind project.

They have a website: www.bearat.org. There is a petition up on their site as well for people to sign in support of declaring the area “not a willing host” to wind farms.

As well, you can link to the preliminary maps that NextEra has provided of the proposed wind turbine sites on our website at www.frontenacnews.ca.

I’m not sure if I’m getting older, or the challenge of turning a truck & trailer seemed a bit more challenging compared to last year.

First of all, I tried to turn my truck and boat around in the parking lot, again township maintained. No dice. Now I have to back my truck back onto Veley Road, turn around, then try to align my truck and trailer back to the boat launch. After getting my truck and trailer lined up for the down hill slide portion of the launch, I finally get a chance to look at what I was about to commit my boat and truck to. I could not believe what I was seeing! Not only does the ski/boat launch seem steeper, the paved portion has become narrower, and the launch portion of the boat launch has two large craters on either side that you could possibly lose your truck in.

Thankfully I own a 4x4 truck!

After some time, I finally got the boat in the water, and now I have turned my attention to parking the truck and trailer. I have replaced my glasses this year, but I swear the parking area has shrunk as well. Thankfully summer is not here yet and there was still room to park, or I would have given up by this time and gone to Kennebec Lake instead.

Seriously, I feel that the township has either abandoned or forgot they own a boat launch that they are responsible for maintaining.

the editor suggesting that there is something wrong with the fact that John Fenik, who will be running against me as the NDP candidate in the October 2015 election, left the Liberal Party, to which he has belonged for many years, to join the New Democrats.

John has been my friend and intellectual sparring-partner for at least a decade, and I want to suggest a more likely rationale for his change of party allegiance: John is an idealist. It has always been clear to me that he is in politics for the best of reasons, and my guess is that he's joined the NDP for the same reason that I left my old party (the PCs) way back in 1990, to join the Reform Party: Because he has followed his conscience into the party that best represents the high ideals that are most closely in accord with his own deeply-held beliefs. I'm sure that John will demonstrate this himself, in the coming months, more eloquently than I can hope to do in this letter.

This will be my sixth election campaign, and looking not only at John Fenik, but also at Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault and our new Green candidate, Anita Payne, I have to say that I don't think I've ever faced a more impressive set of political opponents.

t the AH council meeting of June 1, Mr. Ed Yanch, well known former school principal and long time teacher, made a presentation in favour of the proposed wind turbine project in Ward 1. In his presentation Mr. Yanch stooped to implying that Ward 1 property owners fearful of the consequences of the turbine project are Nimbys. Ward 1 property owners could potentially lose 25 to 55% of their property values if turbines are installed. Attacking Ward 1 residents facing grievous financial loss is a low blow and it certainly doesn't further the pro turbine argument., - Dianne Isaacs

his week, everyone is going on about the Truth & Reconciliation Commission and Canada's disgusting legacy of the Indian Residential Schools. Most Canadians knew nothing about it until now. So the revelations which were mainly driven by the survivors themselves, are a good thing. However, at the same time, there is clear resistance in church & state.

The current outpouring of tears is an exercise in emotion for both the angry and the guilty, especially the guilty. It's a self indulgence after which everyone can dry their eyes and forget about it.

One thing that is glaringly missing from all the write ups is the reason why. Canadians must be asking, "but why was this done? It couldn't have been that bad cause Canadians are good people and we just wouldn't do such a thing. It must've been a mistake, must be over-stated. Just a few bad apples and now a big scandal".

Connecting the dots will be the difficult part for most people. The colonial entities, agents, traders came here to extract resources for purposes of profit, whether furs, minerals, trees or the very water itself. They brought settlers to occupy the land.

The lifestyle Canadians live is based on taking Indigenous resources and NOT paying for them. The residential schools were there to destroy Indianness, to take the Indians off the LAND which the Newcomers so coveted for themselves.

What it boils down to is Canadians have failed to share the resources which is the way

it was supposed to be in the first place and will have to be in the end. Meanwhile, Canada wants to paint itself as a contrite country now doing the right thing. Gotta keep those INVESTORS from panicking.

Oh, what was that you say, "a bunch of angry Indigenous refusing to sign treaties in the west...another blockade going up over mining, logging, fishing, pipelines...more Indigenous youth who cannot find livelihood and end up on the streets or in prison..."

Oh, well, just let the media sort it out for us and everything will be just fine.

Are you a mosquito-attractor? You are if you have type O bIood or if you’re a beer drinker. If you fit into these categories, you will be more attractive to mosquitoes.

Repellants containing “DEET” are still the best mosquito repellents. By the way, eating lots of garlic and taking extra vitamin B supplements won’t help.

Many people want to get rid of excess belly fat. We know that kind of fat is bad for our health. One of the first things to look at when considering this problem is your alcohol intake. Alcohol seems to cause belly fat more than other foods because the liver is working hard to metabolize the alcohol and has less energy to bum off the fat, which can result in weight gain.

We often hear about the high cost of medications here and around the world. Perhaps the world’s most expensive drug is eculizumab, which would cost $500,000 per year to use. It is used to treat a rare blood disorder called atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Sort of adds perspective to drug costs.

The best way to protect yourself against Lyme disease is to prevent bites. Wear light-coloured clothes and tuck your shirt into your pants and your pants into your socks. Use insect repelleants containing DEET and shower or bathe within 2 hours of being outdoors to wash away loose ticks. Do a daily full-body check for ticks on yourself, kids and pets.

If you do find a black-legged tick attached to you, be sure to talk to your doctor. They may recommend one dose of antibiotics to help prevent Lyme disease.

Ask our pharmacists for recommendations on summer’s problems - from bug bites to subnburns. We are always happy to help.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Business profile: Hubby’s House – Making a business work W hen Jen Andrews' (nee Seguin) parents purchased Saylor's Inn in 1994, she came along to help run the business with her boyfriend Kyle Andrews.

The Seguin family found that while the business, which was located on Highway 7 just east of Arden, did very well during the tourist season, it was very slow in the offseason and the overhead was very high.

Kyle and Jen went to work elsewhere, and in 2004 the Seguin family sold the business.

The story only starts there for Kyle and Jen, however. “We moved out here from Montreal in 1996 and fell in love with the area, so even though the Saylor's Inn was a struggle, we learned about business and found the place where we wanted to live,” said Kyle.

Not surprisingly Kyle and Jen were immediately drawn to the restaurant business.

They were both working at Swiss Chalet in Kingston, Jen as a manager and Kyle in the kitchen. He decided to start up a small cleaning business, which he promoted during his part-time evening job delivering pizzas for Domino's Pizza .

“I would stick my flyer onto the back of the pizza boxes,” Kyle recalls.

One thing led to another and the cleaning

business, Hubby's House, developed over time, and Kyle and Jen have been working full time in their own business for over five years.

Based in Tichborne, Hubby's House runs two crews who clean houses all across Frontenac County and in Kingston. They

also do window cleaning and offer a variety of handyman and other services.

Business has been steadily growing for eight years now, and the key to it all is a professional approach and consistency.

“We learned a few lessons over the years, as does everyone in business,” said Jen,

yclists will be happy to know that the committee known as South Frontenac Rides is doing their best to promote scenic and safe cycling in the township of South Frontenac. The group, which is supported by the County of Frontenac, the local OPP, the Township of South Frontenac, KFL&A Public Health, and Yellow Bikes held their first “Tour de South Frontenac Cycle Fest” in and around Sydenham and at Loughborough Public School on June 7. The event attracted over 100 cyclists of all ages to the day’s activities, which included a kids’ bike rodeo plus a number of safe cycling demonstrations and workshops. Demonstrations included proper braking and stopping, correct hand signals, proper helmet fitting, a bike safety check and more.

Twelve guided tours of the four South Frontenac scenic cycling routes were given by committee members. The routes combine a network of paved roads and sections of the Cataraqui and K&P trails and the group has highlighted them in a Cycle Fest brochure.

They include a 13 km route through the vil-

lage of Sydenham; a 18 or 32 km route with stellar views of the Millhaven Creek valley; a 20km route along Little Long Lake and a 33km route along Desert Lake Road towards

Organizers said they were pleased with the turn out. Gordon Scott, who chairs the South Frontenac Rides Committee, said that teaching kids cycling safety was a big focus of the day’s events. “Bike safety is something that children are not taught in school and it is important for them to know how to safely handle their bicycles, especially when they are in and around traffic.”

“such as not to take on work that is beyond what we can handle with the excellent staff we have.”

It is homeowners who have been making them busier and busier, and the business has seen constant growth year after year.“Many of our customers have us in once every two weeks, to keep the home or cottage in top form,” said Kyle, adding that before starting with any customer either he or Jen visits the customer and goes over every part of the house to see what needs to be done and how often in order to determine a final price.

The same level of care is offered for one time jobs such as homeowners getting ready for a large event or preparing a house for sale, a seasonal cleaning job on a cottage as the summer season approaches, or for their monthly, bi-weekly or weekly customers.

Hubby's House cleaners work in teams of at least two, adding to efficiency and decreasing the amount of time their customers are inconvenienced. Hubby's House uses all their own equipment and eco-friendly, scentfree cleaning supplies.

ev. Karen Hincke led the 130th Anniversary service of the Snow Road Presbyterian Church on June 7 and spoke to a capacity crowd. The service included special musical guests, the Abrams Family,

with Wayne, Mary and their son Brian Abrams performing their top notch brand of musical ministry, which delighted the congregation.

Rev. Hincke made many references to family histories in the service, first in her conversation with the children where she spoke of her own personal history with the church and specifically of her great grandfather, a Methodist circuit rider who rode a horse in Southwestern Ontario, preaching to a number of different communities there.

Snow Road church's 130th anniversary, Hincke said, “As a church we are born and are identified by our history... and the meaning of that history will be determined by the future, and by where our history is leading us.” In her sermon, the theme of genealogy continued and Hincke said that the purpose of the anniversary “is to look back at the130 years of this congregation’s life, which will give us courage and hope for the decades to come.”

She chose to read the opening 17 verses from the Gospel of Matthew, which are seldom read at a worship service. They speak of the genealogy of Jesus Christ and the 42 generations that led to his birth. She cited the reading as “a genealogy that is the proper beginning of the story of Jesus for two main purposes, since first, it tells the reader who Jesus was and how he fits both into the history of the Jews and the Christian church” and secondly she said that it “shows Matthew's readers at that time, the beginning of their own history.”

The history of the Snow Road church has been celebrated and chronicled in a publication titled “The First Hundred Years - Snow Road Presbyterian Church”, which was put together by Max Millar, Hilda Geddes and Don St. Pierre in celebration of the church's 100-year anniversary in 1985.

I have included here some highlights from that publication here.

The church was built in 1885 at the cost of $1600 by Mr. Snowden, a contractor and builder, on a lot donated by Mrs. James (“Granny”) Millar. The church was opened and dedicated on November 28, 1885. Prior to its construction services were held in a no longer existing schoolhouse in the village.

John Allan, who moved to Snow Road from the Perth area, is the individual credited with instigating the building of the church and was its first elder. He also organized its first Sunday school. A year after its construction, the churches of McDonalds Corners and Elphin were transferred to the Kingston Presbytery since the new church was a member and the three remained in the Kingston Presbytery until 1927, when they became a part of the Presbytery of Lanark and Renfrew.

Rev. Alexander McAuley was the church's first minister. The church organ that was played at Sunday's service by organist Lynda Russell was purchased in 1936, replacing an older hand pump organ and in 1968 it was electrified. The church was originally heated by a single box stove, and a second stove was later added. They were replaced first by one and then a second wood-burning furnace, which were installed in the church’s basement. Because the heating system proved insufficient, in 1968 the family of John A. and Blanche Geddes (Hilda, Ralph, Katharine, Eileen and Jim) paid to install electric heating, which was dedicated in memory of their parents. The church was originally lit with kerosene lamps, which were replaced in 1934 by gas lamps. These in turn were replaced by electric lights in 1938.

Many additions occurred at the church over the years. In 1952 an entrance over the basement door was built and in 1956 a vestry was built at the front of the building. New windows were installed in 1962 and in 1967 a privy was built outside at the rear of the church. It has just recently been updated.

In 1975 new front windows were acquired and a green steel roof was purchased and installed. In 1980 a sound system was installed.

Over the years numerous gifts were donated to the church, allowing for the purchase of building and other materials. When the church congregation celebrated their 100year anniversary in 1985, the building was repainted inside and out for the celebrations, which were led by Reverend Linda Bell and took place there on August 4, 1985.

Rev. Hincke concluded the service by saying that this anniversary was an important opportunity for congregants to look both to the past and to the future. “During this anniversary celebration we look to our history... remembering who we are and where we have been as we look to the future remembering what we have been put here to do and where we are going.”

Upcoming will be the 169th anniversary celebration and service at the Elphin Presbyterian Church on Sunday, June 28 at 11 a.m. and on Sunday July 19 the Knox Presbyterian Church in McDonalds Corners will be holding a special 170th celebration and service at 11 a.m.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS THE FRONTENAC NEWS GARDENING ISSUE

Ginny Trousdale's road to abstraction G inny Trousdale of Sydenham began making art as a photographer 20 years ago and recalls one particular painterly photograph that first inspired her to pick up a paint brush 12 years ago. “I never felt I could draw realistically,” she said, “ though I always knew that I was creative.”

Years later and after much learning and practice, she has come to realize that she is, at heart, an abstract painter. After completing an intensive three-month course at the Haliburton School of Fine Arts in July, 2014 where she had the time and space to explore the roots of what inspires that abstractionist bent, she finally took up Kim Ondaatje’s offer to have a show of her work at Blueroof Farm in Bellrock.

The show titled “So Far” showcases Trousdale’s work in a variety of mediums that demonstrates both her love of line and her impressive and intuitive sense of colour. The photographic works in the show hearken back to her first love, photography and she uses her pictures of real things and places, like the pictures she took of a mural at the Children’s Library in Oaxaca, Mexico to use as a spring board to create abstract compositions that demonstrate her fascination

with line. She has cropped the photos, making their origins unrecognizable and she layers them to create abstract and highly graphic compositions - in effect using known worlds to create her own new imagined ones.

Her “War Series” works, inspired by old letters and maps from World War 2, continue her fascination with line, but with the addition of abstract symbols inspired by cartography of that time, as well as “hobo symbols”, a kind of symbol language used by street travelers in the Depression era to communicate to one another.

This work and these ideas inspired Trousdale’s most recent abstract paintings, large colourful works that have a Paul Klee-ish and Wassily Kandinsky-ish kind of feel to them, where graphic lines and broad swaths of colour together with abstract symbols large and small create worlds that can be sometimes calm and soothing, and at other times jarring and complex. Her term “creative cartography” can be aptly applied to these works, large paintings on paper and one titled “Backroads”, which by name and appearances looks like a map but you can bet that no such place exists. In this work,

coloured lines of all shapes and sizes curl, twist and turn back and forth through the expanse of the paper space, with large and small unknown symbols popping out and hinting at other worlds, places and meanings, perhaps forever unknown or maybe long forgotten.

These works capture and hold one’s attention and invite the viewer’s eye to move freely through a space unknown, yet somehow familiar in an inexplicable way. In her own words, Trousdale describes her fascination with these unknown worlds. “Painting pushes me to find ways to visually express and explore my world and I am fascinated by what I don’t see. Searching for meaning involves digging and looking because the surface rarely reveals what is actually beneath.”

In her personal journey to artistic expression, Trousdale shows that she has dug hard and deep and the results are an impressive show in abstraction that demonstrates exactly how far she has come on that long and hard-earned road.

The final viewing of “So Far” will take place Sunday, June 14 from 2 – 6 p.m. at Blueroof Farm, 6313 First Lake Road in Bellrock, just west of Verona.

Mountain Grove resident petitions for permission to keep pigs - Central Frontenac Council, I

n a delegation to council on June 9, Amy-Lynn Hole brought council's attention to a complaint lodged by a resident against the smell from pigs she is raising in a barn that is located at 1026 Mountain Grove Road. The complaint has led to an investigation by by-law officer Ken Gilpin.

Hole’s presentation included a description of the barn where the pigs are fed, watered and cleaned daily and she explained how their waste is shipped outside of the hamlet.

She stated that when the by-law officer arrived to investigate, he said he did not smell anything odious. Though she did not mention how many pigs are being housed in the barn, she did say that the pigs do not run free and that she believes she and her family should be able to keep them. She referred to a council decision earlier this year allowing miniature horses and goats to be kept at a residence that is also located in a hamlet. As a member of a low-income family, she cited her difficulties paying for food, medicine, and hydro for a family of five, which includes her father, who is in the throes of stage four brain, lung and spinal cord cancer. She said the meat from the pigs goes a long way in helping her to feed her family. Hole also presented a petition with 51 signa-

The Kennebec Histor- Kennebec & District Historical ical Society will be spreading Society display their materials out in the hall.

There are artifacts, documents, and an interesting display of historic photos.

One new item that has come the historical society's way by virtue of the growing co-operation between groups in Central Frontenac is a binder that was given to them by the Railway Heritage Committee in Sharbot Lake, which will have its caboose open for Open Doors as well. The binder contains photos and documents about the closing of the Ardendale station. Among the features of the day, which runs from 10-4, will be a performance by Adrian O'Connell from 1 to 1:30pm.

He will be singing historical ballads to entertain the audience.

Just across from the community hall, the Arden Legion has put together a historical display as well. Also the Arden Artisans: Arden Batik, Arden Pottery and Gallery on the Bay will all be open.

As mentioned, Arden is but one of 14 communities from the top to bottom of the vast County who will be hosting Doors Open events. From the Pioneer Museum in Cloyne to the historic Vanluven House (now a fishing lodge) in Battersea, there will be a lot to see in Frontenac County this Saturday.

tures supporting her request to be able to keep the pigs.

In a discussion following the presentation, CAO Jim Zimmerman said that he is waiting for legal advice regarding the matter and he advised council to defer making a decision until that advice has been received. Council agreed.

Gravel and road construction tenders Council approved Jim Zimmerman's recommendation to accept bids from Crains' Construction to supply and place gravel on 12 township roads for $200,300, and to complete the rehabilitation of Frontenac and Mill Roads for $331,546.

Both bids are under the amounts budgeted for the work involved; the gravel by $45,000 and the road work by $54,000.

The total savings of almost $100,000 was called a "good news story" by Zimmerman. The savings will help to allviate the $225,000 in “budget pressure” identified by Treasurer Michael McGovern earlier this spring.

40km speed limit approved in school zone: Council passed a motion to approve a 40 km speed limit on Road 38 in Sharbot Lake where the highway extends 150 meters in both directions from the limits of land used by Granite Ridge Education Centre from 8 am to 4:30 pm on school days.

May 2015 Construction details Jeremy Nevens' report to council regarding construction values showed that although the May, 2015 numbers decreased to $270,000 from $935,000 at the same time period last year, 2015's year to date numbers are up by more than $750,000 – from $1.28 million last year to just over $2 million this year. Similarly, permit fees overall are up by $12,000 from last year. Permits for a total of six new residential units have been taken out so far this year as compared to just two at this same time in 2014.

Discovering the first strawberries in an Indigenous legend

by Susan Ramsay, Early Literacy Specialist, Hastings, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington; sramsay@klandskills.ca “Daddy look!” I turned from my squatted position in the strawberry patch toward the sound of an excited child’s voice close by. A beige sunhat bobbed slightly higher than the row of strawberry bushes, his fist clutching and waving a large heart-shaped berry. I scanned the field. In every direction there were child-sized heads with hats or ponytails poking like short sunflowers above the strawberry vines. The strawberry field was filled with children – children who were discovering, learning and enjoying the marvels of summer’s first strawberries.

My memories of spending time in strawberry patches are strong and cause me to recall a story about how the first strawberries came to be. At an Indigenous story walk at Napanee’s Lennox & Addington Resources for Children in May, Aboriginal Healthy Babies Worker Sarah Brown shared the Cherokee legend “The First Strawberries” with children and their parents. Children followed a trail of pictures indoors and outdoors as Sarah told the legend and as children re-enact-

ed the feelings and actions of a man and woman who had grown angry with one another. The legend explains how the wise Sun created the very first eye-catching, fragrant, sweet strawberries from Mother Earth to help the man and woman resolve their differences. Sarah also taught us to make traditional strawberry juice and bannock which we shared together after our story walk.

From an early literacy perspective, oral storytelling helps children develop vocabulary, reading comprehension and narrative skills. The sharing of Aboriginal stories such as “The First Strawberries” inspires thinking, empathy and provides a chance to talk about values too.

Opportunities to hear or experience Indigenous oral stories are more frequent than you might think. With National Aboriginal Day celebrated on June 21 each year, special events are being planned throughout the region.

The Child Centre in Sharbot Lake is hosting an Aboriginal Day event on Wednesday June 17 at St. James Major Catholic Church Hall from 10am – 12 noon. Young children and their families will have the opportunity to experience sto-

rytelling, traditional food, craft, drumming and dancing. (To register for this free event, call 613-279-2244.)

In Kingston, National Aboriginal Day will be celebrated with Métis fiddlers, jingle dancer, water drummer, speakers and more on Sunday, June 21. This free event is open to the public at the Market Square, Lower Courtyard in Kingston between 11am and 2:30pm.

In North Hastings, Indigenous oral storytelling and activities will take place for school-age children at York River Public and Wilberforce Schools.

“Come Walk in My Moccasins” is a monthly e-newsletter that highlights Indigenous teachings, heroes, stories and more. Oral stories are often included in video format in these newsletters. To subscribe for free to Come Walk in My Moccasins e-newsletters, go to http://goo.gl/CDwHWM. National Aboriginal Day is a celebratory day for seeking out the richness of Indigenous stories. Yet legends spoken or shared through children’s books are always worth discovering, even after the celebration has ended and ripe red berries no longer hang on strawberry patch vines.

South Frontenac Committee of the Whole - June 9 Solar (FIT) Projects: Five Delegations The first delegate, Wolfe Erlichman, represented the Wintergreen Renewable Energy Coop, a five year old program in South Frontenac with over 150 members. He spoke briefly in general support of the development and use of solar power.

Then Bob McKean and Christina MacDonald, residents of Railton Road, close to two of the proposed solar sites near Mervale and Stagecoach Roads, said they were opposed to such an industrial development in what they described as a residential and farming area. They pointed out that the Township would get no income from a solar project, whereas the same land, turned into residential development, could be a continuing source of income. They feared a solar project would lower existing property values and stagnate growth.

They asked a number of questions about ongoing maintenance and possible adverse effects of a solar project.

The next three presentations were from representatives of projects being proposed in the Township by SunEdison, Sol Force and Compass Renewable Energy Consulting Inc. The latter speaker, Dave Fowler, represented the Limestone District School Board which hopes to install rooftop panels on Perth Road Public School, Harrowsmith Public School and Sydenham High. All three spoke in general terms of their projects and showed location maps.

Part of the project development process as outlined by the Province requires the developer to hold a public meeting to provide information and answer questions. SunEdison’s meeting will be at Harrowsmith Public School Wed June 17, from 7-9 pm. Although CAO Orr will attend, none of the

Blue Skies Community Fiddle Orchestra Giant Garage Sale O

n Saturday, June 13 from 9am until 12:30pm, the Blue Skies Community Fiddle Orchestra is hosting a giant multi-family garage sale at the Maberly Hall, rain or shine.

This is one of the final fundraising events before the orchestra's cultural exchange trip to Prince Edward Island in mid July. The orchestra will be practicing at the same time too, so come on out and get a great deal and hear some terrific fiddling as well!

members of Council are required to go. The other two developers have not scheduled their meetings yet.

New Design Criteria and Standards for Development Planner Lindsay Mills presented a 33-page document establishing minimum technical standards and the process to help guide large developments in The Township. It addresses technical requirements for infrastructure such as roads, storm sewer systems, etc for plans of subdivision or condominiums, and lists the technical studies or reports that may be necessary to support proposed development. A one-page flowchart illustrates the general process for approval of such applications.

Councillors McDougall and Sutherland both said the public should be informed as early in the process as possible: Mills said one problem was that developers wanted to have all necessary hydrogeological etc studies completed before a public meeting, so they would be better able to answer individuals’ concerns. McDougall said that when residents see surveying being done, test wells being drilled, etc, they become anxious long before an application even comes to Council. He added that poor communication between County and Township sometimes meant residents were better informed than Council about pending development projects.

He also said people needed to know approximate timelines and costs for various stages of the development process.

Councillors Schjerning and Sutherland both asked that any new initiatives or additions to existing policies should be highlighted before the document comes to Council for final approval.

Revill said that from his experience as a township building official, this document should contribute to greater openness and transparency between public and council. He acknowledged the amount of work the planning department has put

by Wilma Kenny

into developing the document.

Sydenham Water Treasurer Fragnito presented an information report which showed, as Mayor Vandewal pointed out, that the penalty/ incentive charges recently levied against non-users have succeeded in bringing 34 more water users online.

The report refers to the new water rates put into effect this month, the first increase since the plant opened. This increase is intended to help fund the upkeep and eventual replacement of the water plant, thus meeting the Provincial requirements for townships to demonstrate the long-term sustainability of their water plants. Further details are available in the agenda notes on the Township website.

Cycling Deputy Mayor McDougall congratulated Councillor Sutherland on the success of Saturday’s bike rodeo and tours.

Sutherland in turn thanked the Public Works staff and OPP for their help in making the event go smoothly and safely.

On another note, Sutherland said there was a lot of local concern about the recent Ottawa - Kingston cycle event, which had made the Perth Road dangerous for both bikes and cars as a result of cyclists riding several abreast. He and several others have talked to the Ottawa organizers about ways of ensuring future rides are better managed.

Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today ~ A hallowed place within my heart is where you'll always stay.

• It was another great Maple Kitchen Party fundraiser for CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario) at Wheelers Pancake House on June 6. The Roberts family entertained with their wonderful music and also the Son-in-Laws, but the star of the evening was three-year-old Caleb Joseph Wheeler Smith with his tiny guitar and beautiful little voice. He sang with his dad and sang “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”. I did not get the generous person’s name who donated 6 dozen eggs. They were auctioned off for $50/doz; $100 /doz and $130/doz. Altogether $8715 was raised for CHEO. Thanks, Wheelers.

• On Sunday Snow Road Presbyterian Church celebrated its 130-year anniversary with beautiful music by Mary, Wayne & Brian Abrams. There was a presentation to Harriet Riddell on her nine years of being session clerk of the church.

The community is saddened to hear of the death (Carol) Ann Wells, who used to live at Mosque Lake Lodge. She passed away on June 7 of cancer, and we extend our sympathy to her family.

• Fire Extinguisher Day was held last Saturday and it was a wonderful success. Many out-of-date and unusable extinguishers were collected. Folks now have new extinguishers that will work if needed. Other people are confident that they have a usable extinguisher in their home or cottage. Eric Korhonen, Fire Safety Officer for North Frontenac, taught folks how to use an extinguisher and the opportunity to actually use one on a fire.

The yard and bake sale were also successful thanks to all folks who donated baked goods. A huge community thank you to Rick and Deb Morey who conceived the idea and made it happen. Thanks also to Cille Harris, who organized the yard sale and all the extra details to create such a great day.

• The ATV Safety Course will be held Sat. June 13 from 9 to 5 at the community center. The morning will be spent learning about ATV safety and a chance to practice those skills on a run in the afternoon. There is no charge for the course, lunch is provided and all that is required is an ATV and a North Frontenac Trail Pass. For more information contact Rose or Denis at 613-479-2176.

• The June Birthday Bash is Wednesday, June 17 at 5:30pm. Everyone is welcome.

• It is so good to see the Parham Ball Field in full operation either hosting ball games or practices or getting "walkers" geared up for the Relay for Life happening soon.

• Congratulations to all the dancers involved with Dance Fitazzet Dance Studio in Sydenham at their recital on the weekend. It was so good to see so many from our area involved in this great preformance.

• The Open Mic music night at the IOOF Hall was certainly an evening of great talent. Roy Benn was presented with his 70year pin; Gerald Howes with his 50th. Bob Fox received his 25-year jewel which belonged to his father the late Glen Fox. The Fox family was presented with a painting by Dave of the Oddfellows Hall in Parham and in which Glen is looking down from above.

John & Vi Anderson, friends of the Fox family and member of the Oddfellow fraternity had commissioned their friend Dave to paint this. Glen loved to listen to these talented musicians, mostly from the Bedford Open Mic, with some new additions and looked forward each year to having them perform at Parham. Thank you to all who entertained and it is the lodge’s hope that they will still keep this tradition going. Luncheon followed and was enjoyed by all.

• Members of the fire department were on hand to do some brush clearing for their new building.

• Congratulations to Colby and Hannah Barker, as well as Corinne Shelley and Roger Whan. Both couples exchanged vows on the weekend and now begin the next chapter of their lives together.

Centenary Pastoral Charge anniversary

by Rev. Jean Brown n Sunday, June 14, at 11am, Sharbot Lake United Church will host the 48th anniversary of the founding of the grouping of churches known as the Centenary Pastoral Charge, and all are welcome.

Forty-eight years ago, in Centennial year 1967, the three congregations of Maberly, Sharbot Lake and Parham joined together to form one unit to serve God by sharing prayers, resources, clergy, sacred spaces, and sharing their joys and sorrows together.

The three churches will join up for a joint celebratory worship service at the Sharbot Lake site followed by a light lunch.

Special music is planned. It is hoped to raise the roof in praise and in singing some of the older hymns from our founding years.

The founding year of the United Church of Canada, a uniting and united church, was 1925 when three denominations - Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational, “united” to form one denomination. It was the first union of churches in the world to cross historical denominational lines and hence received international acclaim. Impetus for the union arose out of the concerns for serving the vast Canadian northwest and in the desire for better overseas mission. Each of the

uniting churches, however, had a long history prior to 1925. Throughout the following years, this pattern of amalgamating, joining together to serve God and community, and sharing spaces continued, and it continues today as Maberly United Church prayerfully looks ahead to amalgamating with Sharbot Lake United. Past amalgamations in Sharbot Lake included Zealand and Oso, while Parham included Oconto, Tichborne, Wagarville and Long Lake.

Talking About Mental Illness

by Jeff Green AMI, which stands for Talking About Mental Ilness, is a program run by volunteers that is based on an awareness program originally called “Beyond the Cuckoo's Nest”, which was developed in Toronto in 1988. TAMI is about public awareness and reducing the stigma of mental illness, which affects 1 in 5 people some time in their life” said Laura Tuepah, a TAMI volunteer who is also an occupational therapist with Providence Care, based in Kingston.

The Sharbot Lake Family Health Team, in conjunction with Northern Frontenac Community Services, is presenting a TAMI event next Wednesday, June 17 from 6 to 8 pm in the lower level of the Family Health Team offices. As part of the presentation, a number of people who have dealt with mental health issues will be on hand to talk about their experiences, about overcoming the stigma of the disease and about the kinds of treatments that were available to them.

In Frontenac County there are a number of resources available for people suffering from Mental Health issues, and professionals who provide service in the Sharbot Lake

T

region under the umbrella of medical or community agencies will be on hand to talk about what they offer.

Laura Baldwin, program manager at the Family Health Team, says that one of the messages that the therapists and other service providers attending the meeting will be getting across is that they all work together on different kinds of issues that people face, and that “any of their phone numbers is the right phone number.”

Among the agencies that provide service in the Central and North Frontenac region are the Family Health Team, which has both a part-time mental health worker and psychiatrist on staff; Northern Frontenac Community Services, which has a full-time family counselor on staff; affiliate agencies such as Providence Care, and Addictions and Mental Health Services (KFL&A); and other addictions service providers as well.

“In rural communities isolation can be an issue that compounds mental health issues, and what TAMI is all about is providing people with an opportunity to share their experiences, find out they are not alone, and also give a chance for them to find out what help

Ontario increasing access for ORVs, ATVs O

ntario is enhancing on-road access for more types of off-road vehicles (ORVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) while increasing safety requirements for riders.

Beginning July 1, 2015, the province is implementing the following changes to ensure that ORV and ATV riders safely reach their destination: More types of ORVs and ATVs, including two-up ATVs, side-by-side ATVs and utility-terrain vehicles (UTVs), will be allowed to use the shoulder of public roads.

All riders, including drivers and passengers of all ages, will have to wear a helmet and use a seatbelt or foot rests, where applicable. This month, the province is promoting the new rules before they come in force July 1, 2015 to ensure that municipalities have enough time to make necessary by-law amendments and to remind riders and drivers about the change.

The province is also allowing an education period to take place between July 1 to Sept.

1, 2015, before violation tickets are issued.

However, during this time police officers may still lay a charge through a summons.

OPP reportS On June 3 Gregory Lawrence Thompson, 41, from Central Frontenac Township, was charged with driving while ability impaired and driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol in blood after he was stopped by police on Brewer Road. On June 5, at approximately 3:30 pm, members of the OPP SAVE unit conducting RIDE checks on Fifth Lake Road charged the same Gregory Lawrence Thompson again with driving while ability impaired, driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol in blood, and driving while under suspension.

The accused is scheduled to appear in Central Frontenac court on July 2.

family and coach (and perhaps her neglected friends!) know how hard she has worked to improve her power and stroke rate to make it to this level of competition. Though L’Abbe was used to training twice a day, for the past two months, she has been training more intensively. As a Gr. 12 student, the additional training on top of her busy school schedule is difficult. With the Montreal National Team Trials 200 and 500m regatta looming close ahead, L'Abbe says, “I know who my competitors are, and I know that I will have to have a good start and maintain my maximum stroke rate throughout in order to gain one of the four coveted spots on the Junior World Team. It is a goal that I would like to achieve as I have never competed at an international regatta overseas, but I know if I don’t make it, I will still have a whole summer of paddling on the lake to look forward to.”

n the middle of the debate over the Denbigh wind turbine project, is an event that utilizes wind power for recreation. The intention of Sail Mazinaw is to get a great number of sails on Mazinaw Lake all at the same time. It is not a race. It is a flotilla, a cruise, a raid; an invitation to go sailing. The event is to be held on Saturday, July 18.

Dozens of cottagers have sailboats. Sail Mazinaw will be an opportunity for locals to rig and go sailing in company. Bon Echo Provincial Park is on the lake, and campers will be reminded to bring their dinghies or sailboards along for the weekend. Transient boaters are always welcome.

Sailors are encouraged to bring crew, or to introduce someone new to the sport of sailing.

Mazinaw Lake is a beautiful sailing venue. Bon Echo Rock, with its pictographs and alpine climbers, is an escarpment that rises more than 100 meters above lake level. The rest of the lake is surrounded by citadels of bare rock that generate thermals and local shore breezes. The windiest time of the day is typically at 2pm. But the orientation and the shape of the lake means that it seldom generates a large swell or white caps. It is a fun sailing venue. There are a number of decent boat launches on the lake.

Sailors are invited to meet at Mazinaw Lake Resort for breakfast 8 – 10 on Saturday morning. The Friends Of Bon Echo will have the barbecue fired up in The Lagoon at Bon Echo Provincial Park from 10 until after 2. Go for a sail, share a burger with other sailors, then get back on the lake in time for the afternoon breeze. It’s a perfect day.

More details can be found on Facebook: https://www. facebook.com/SailMazinaw or e-mail SailMazinaw@outlook.com.

Lake levels - continued from Page 2 March. There was virtually no spring runoff because all the snow “either sublimated into the air or infiltrated the ground but never made it to the lake,” Mountenay said, and with little or no rain in April and May, Big Gull has only lost water to evaporation since that time.Moutenay said that MVCA drew down the lake in the late fall to bring it to within a range that they have used for a number of years, and the lake has been dammed up ever since then.

“No water has been released from that lake by us since March 1, and before that it was frozen solid all winter so it did not move at all” said Mountenay.

The story is similar at Mississagagon.

“There are things we can try to do to mitigate against too much water, but one thing we can’t do is find water where there isn’t any.The water level at Crotch Lake is extremely low, 80 centimetres below where MVCA would like it to be.

Since there are no cottages on Crotch Lake, its level has not resulted in complaints to the MVCA office as Crotch and Big Gull have, but since Crotch Lake is used by MVCA as a reservoir lake for the lower end of the watershed, there is a potential problem for the prime recreational part of the summer, particularly if the summer is hot and dry.

“It’s pretty simple, we need more rain, a fair bit more, or we will continue to have a problem,” said Montenay.

On the Rideau system, the story is not as grim, at least as far as Bobs Lake is concerned. Bobs, the reservoir lake for the Tay River, and ultimately, the Rideau Canal, was sitting at 162.7 metres, almost 10 centimetres above the historic average.
