Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston 2015 Federal Election Primer by Jeff Green he 42nd Canadian Federal Election is set for next Monday, October 19, and the national campaigns are winding down. All that is left are the desperate, strategic, final campaign ads and “the ground game” getting out the vote. In Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, a riding that is not only vast but also has no cities with a population over 10,000, there is no specific polling data available. Aside from a whistle-stop visit, in late August, from NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, none of the leaders who have been crisscrossing the country for almost three months, have made an appearance. The candidates seem confident, however. Scott Reid, who represented Lanark Frontenac Lennox and Addington, which has a 79% overlap with this new riding, for 11 years, has now been in Parliament since 2000, and has a rock solid support base in Lanark County. Meanwhile, Perth mayor, John Fenik, is riding his own personal popularity and a sense that voters he has met at the door are ready to look at the NDP, as well as a relatively strong showing for the party in the former riding in 2011 (the NDP vote jumped to 20% from 13% in 2008). Philippe Archambault has been on the campaign trail the longest. He was nominat-
ed in October of last year and has been on parts of the riding and is hoping for a breakthe campaign trail ever since. He says he is through in parts of Lanark County. Green Party candidate Anita Payne is a doing very well in the Kingston and Frontenac
party loyalist who is a veteran of many campaigns in different Ontario ridings. She is trying to get the Green message out and increase the party’s vote share, which dropped to 4.5% in 2011 from a historic high of 8.5% in 2008. As reported last week, at the candidates’ meetings in Frontenac County and Kingston, supporters of the opposition parties were overrepresented and the questions, which varied from economic and environmental to social and health issues, tended to be pointed against the three-time incumbent government. While there has been no specific polling in the riding, based on current trends in Ontario polling, the result in this riding is projected to be closer this time around than in the previous three elections. The following candidate profiles are not intended to delve into party policies, as all the party platforms are available elsewhere. They are designed to provide a glimpse into the candidates' own motivations and interests, a chance to get a bit of their story out. The interviews all took place last week. There is a fifth candidate on the ballot, Mark Budd, representing the Libertarian Party. He did not campaign, however, and was not included in this feature. The profiles are arranged in alphabetical order by last name. They run on pages 1 and 2.

John Fenik – New Democratic Party

hil Archambault was born in St-Eustache Quebec. He lived in the Montreal area until 1995, when he left to travel the world. He met his wife, Melanie, in Bermuda and they settled for a time in the United Kingdom, where he acquired a Master’s in Business Administration at a University in Wales. He began working as a consultant in Europe, eventually taking a job with the UK National Health Service, working on process mapping and wait times.
The family moved back to Canada because they wanted to raise their children in Canada and settled for a short time in Toronto. In 2010 Archambault got a job with the Community Care Access Centre in Kingston and the family moved to Kingston and then Inverary. He has had a few positions since then and is currently working for Providence Care Hospital in Kingston, which is in the midst of building a new hospital. He has been involved with the Liberal Party ever since arriving in Kingston, and worked on the election campaigns of John Gerretson and Ted Hsu. His interest in running was piqued when he went to the first meeting of the Lanark-FrontenacKingston riding association early in 2014. “I told my wife that I thought I might have a better chance than the people at the meeting who were considering running for the nomination, and she said ‘Are you

here are two events that are key to John Fenik’s political career and his candidacy as a New Democrat in this election. The first took place almost 30 years ago when Fenik, a London, Ontario native educated in Social Work in Ottawa, took a six-month contract in the Town of Perth. “I expected that I would move back to London when the contract was up, but I quickly fell in love with Perth and have never left,” he said. With his wife Laurie, John has raised three daughters and built a life in Perth. He started his community service as a block parent and a parent council member, and then 17 years ago he took an interest in municipal politics and served as councilor and deputy mayor before running for mayor in 2006. He won the election in 2006, and was acclaimed to the position in both 2010 and 2014. In his years on municipal council he has overseen many changes in the Town of Perth, including a shift from a dedicated police service to an OPP contract, and a major infrastructure project that closed down an arterial road for the better part of a year. As well he has played a role on a regional level with the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus in the development of a rural broadband project that was implemented over the past three years. As a board member on that project, which is called EORN (Eastern Ontario Regional Net-

Anita Payne – Green Party
A
s Anita Payne describes it, her initiation into the Green Party started when she was living in Stratford a dozen years ago. She was home one Saturday morning listening to the radio when she heard there was a local Green Party meeting later that day. She was teaching and running a bed and breakfast at the time but was able to attend. “So I put on a pair of green jeans and a green shirt and off I went,” she said. It turned out the meeting was a nomination meeting for an upcoming provincial election. Ontario Green leader Frank de Jong was in attendance, and the people who showed up at the meeting ended up forming the riding association and working as a campaign committee. Anita Payne has been a party member ever since, both on the provincial and federal level, and served on the provincial executive between 2006 and 2009. She said that in 2006 she went to hear Elizabeth May speak and “I was so inspired that I decided I wanted to be a candidate. I even had to contest the nomination the first time around.” She was the candidate in Perth-Wellington in the 2007 provincial election, in HaliburtonKawartha Lakes Brock in 2011, and again last year in Prince Edward-Hastings. “I never had any political aspirations,” she said. “I first heard about the Green Party in Europe in the 1980s when the report of the Brundtland Commission, Our Common Fu-
S
cott Reid has been elected five times to the House of Commons, and each time he has increased his share of the popular vote. He was first elected in 2000, representing the Canadian Alliance in the riding of Lanark Carleton. The vote was close; he beat Liberal Ian Murray by less than 2,000 votes, receiving 39% of the votes cast. He was one of two Canadian Alliance MPs from Ontario. He was Stephen Harper’s Ontario organizer during Harper’s successful run for the Alliance Party leadership over Stockwell Day, and a year later he was deeply involved in the merger talks between the Alliance and Progressive Conservative Parties, leading to the formation of the Conservative Party of Canada. In 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2011, he won elections in the riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, polling 49%, 51%, 56% and 57% respectively in those elections. He has served as deputy government house leader ever since the Harper Conservatives took power in 2006.
Reid has actually been working in politics since 1994, as an advisor and organizer for Preston Manning, and later, Stockwell Day. After 21 years in political life, the question of retirement did not really come up for Reid this time around.

crazy?’ since we are already working so hard to raise our four young children,” he said. A few weeks later Phil went to the biennial convention of the Liberal Party in Montreal. “I met everyone there, Marc Garneau, Justin, the whole team, and I was really impressed with them, particularly Justin. I felt his presence and I felt his strength. And you can really see a leader by the people he surrounds himself with. They were all top people. “So I decided that I wanted to run, I wanted to be part of it all. When she realized that I really wanted to do this, my wife has been very supportive, and I think she is excited by what we have accomplished.” One area of government that Phil is concerned with comes from his own professional background, health care. “The health care system was built 50 years ago with a focus on acute care, but now with an ageing population we need to deal with the Canada Health Act, with chronic care, community-based care, mental health issues, seniors’ homes, all those issues, and to do that the federal government needs to engage the provinces, not just refuse to meet with them and cut their budgets.” A second issue that strikes a chord with him is the plight of Aboriginal Canadians. A descendant of a Micmac great grandfather, Archambault is a member of the Métis Federation of Canada. “I find it terrible that so many communities are drinking bottled water in this country in 2015,” he said. According to Archambault the current state of affairs is partly the result of the Harper government that scrapped the Kelowna Accord, which the Liberals had worked so hard to achieve. “Investments should have been made when we signed the Kelowna accord in 2005, but Stephen Harper has walked away from it. The drop out rate for Aboriginal students is higher than it was then. We’ve got to do something about this.” After a full year on the campaign trail, Archambault won the Liberal nomination in October of 2014. He feels he has had some success in swing voters, particularly in the South Frontenac/North Kingston portion of the riding. He feels that the effort, including early mornings on the side of the road, afternoons and evenings knocking on doors, and visits to events throughout the riding, “has been a once in a lifetime opportunity to possibly make a make a difference in this country. You’ve go to be in it to win it, I like to say, and I have been 100% in it.”

work), he was part of a group that raised and spent over $170 million in federal, provincial, and municipal dollars upgrading Internet service in the region. Fenik also sits on the board of directors of the Perth and Smiths Falls Hospital and is the Chair of the Lanark County Housing Corporation. He was also a long-time member of the Liberal Party of Canada, a circumstance that changed early this spring, which brings us to the second key moment in his political career. “When Justin Trudeau and the caucus decided to sit on their hands when C-51 was brought in, I took a look at the
soon after by Paul Dewar, a long-time NDP Member of Parliament from Ottawa, about running for them in this election. After consulting with his family he said yes, and arranged to take an unpaid leave of absence from his duties as mayor of Perth during the campaign, which he thought would only last about six weeks, but has ended up being almost 13 weeks. A lot of his motivation in this campaign has been centred on his initial concerns about Justin Trudeau’s leadership and his level of comfort with NDP leader Thomas Mulcair. “I’ve been increasingly concerned with Mr. Trudeau’s poor judgement. I have been speaking with some members of the NDP in recent months, and I have been following Thomas Mulcair for a few years. He has the ability and the vision to lead the country,” Fenik said at the time of his nomination. He says he has learned a lot during the campaign about the riding and about communities he did not know that well before the campaign started. “I have learned a lot during this campaign about how important agriculture is to Lanark County and all through the riding, and how dynamic and advanced it is. I see people who are really engaged, are improving infrastructure all time, and making the riding the best that it can be. “From farm gate sales to dairy farms with robots milking cows, to markets all over the riding, it’s a dynamic industry. It is all threatened by the Trans-Pacific-Partnership agreement. I am happy to say the NDP, under Tom Mulcair, oppose the trade deal.” He said that he has found that the local NDP riding association has been “re-energized during this campaign, with more people engaged than ever, and a structure is in place to keep. It’s quite exciting to see this unfold.” He said that he thinks this election is about the economy and jobs, accountability, transparency and representation, and civil liberties. “The issue is about a government that’s going to move us forward instead of the same old same old, the most important election in my lifetime. I really believe that. And I think the NDP under Mulcair embodies that spirit completely.”

ture, came out. When the Green Party came to me, I was compelled to join. I have always had a keen interest in protecting the environment. That’s why I run in these elections and that’s why I took part in the Great March for Climate Change last year as well.” The Great March was a walk from Los Angeles to Washington, DC. She marched from Los Angeles to Phoenix between March 1 and April 9 (2014) and from Chicago to Washington from September until November. Anita Payne was born in Scarborough and has lived in different parts of Ontario. She lived with her family at a property on Black Lake, between Perth and Westport, between 1991 and 2000, when they moved to Stratford. They returned to Black Lake four years ago and Anita retired from teaching

work with parliamentary responsibilities, and at the same time being able to publish,” he said. Before his time in politics, Reid published two political books, Lament For a Notion, and Canada Remapped. He continues to publish articles on public policy. Even as Parliament has a reputation as a hotbed of partisan politics, Scott Reid has for the most part avoided confrontation. He has chaired the International Human Rights Committee, one of the only committees in the house that is not only non-partisan, it operates by consensus most of the time. “People see question period and media scrums on the news, but that is not the whole picture,” he said. Aside from his human rights work, Reid has turned what was at first a way to spend a $20,000 MP salary increase he did not need into a life saving program. He invests the money each year into defibrillators, which are installed at public locations throughout the riding. The program now includes training of students and others in how to use the units, and also in CPR. Reid’s current goal is to convince the OPP and the RCMP to place the units in their cars, which, he says, would save lives. “I am trying to get the units into police cars, because they are first responders, but there is resistance from the OPP and RCMP. The OPP say they have no room in the trunks of their cruisers. But at the Frontenac County Anniversary in Harrowsmith there was an OPP officer there on traffic duty, and his trunk was open so I took a picture of the inside and there was plenty of room. I’m going to keep working on this. It would be a $10 million expense that would save hundreds of lives.” Another item of study and politics for Scott Reid is Direct Democracy and Electoral Reform. He had been instrumental in changes within his party and the election of the speaker of the House of Commons, both times bringing in a ranked voting system. In terms of electoral reform in federal elections, he does not favour any of the mixed member proportional representation systems that have been proposed, but does think ranked voting would be an improvement, a position that is at odds with Conservative Party policy. He also favours referenda on contentious public issues, and has held informal riding votes to determine his vote in Parliament on six different occasions. BUSINESS CARD SIZE

candidates, “I am the only one who is a mother and a grandmother. If we had more women in politics we might not even be in the situation we are in now. We need to look after our Mother Earth; she sustains us and gives us life, that’s where I come from. That’s the core of my being. The other candidates are really politicians. They are running because they want to be elected. I’m running for entirely different reasons.” She said that she was encouraged at some of the all- candidates’ meetings because “I felt when I was talking about climate change everyone was listening. Everyone knows we have to do better and they want to know how to do it.” For her, the climate change issue is at a critical phase. “There are many scientists who think we are in deep trouble, already in the teeth of mass extinction. Humans have brought this on and I believe that it is not too late to act, we need to mobilize around this. It’s like WWII, everybody was making an effort to win the war, everybody got board and made an effort. This is what we all need to do to prevent the worst effects of climate change.” While Anita Payne is not in the campaign with expectations of winning a seat, she shares the Green Party view that more Green party members should be in Parliament based on the party share of the popular vote. In addition to her environmental activism, she volunteers with Fair Vote Canada on electoral reform.

annette Amini, the Manager of Legislative Services for the County of Frontenac, made a presentation to Council on Tuesday morning regarding the accomplishments of the Frontenac Accessibility Advisory Committee (FAAC) and suggested keeping accessibility in mind while working out their 2016 budget. The FAAC was set up to promote accessibility and awareness of accessibility issues throughout the townships in the County. They have helped guide projects in Frontenac County like the redevelopment of the Sydenham Library, the new school in Sharbot Lake, and the accessibility upgrades to Centennial Park. They are also in talks with Elections Canada regarding the accessibility of polling stations.
Response to Oct. 8 edition
R
eading the October 8, 2015 Frontenac News gave me an insight on a few people whose names graced the insides therein. Anita Payne, Green candidate said, on the front page lead story coverage of the candidates meetings, "The reason for teaching many of the subjects was to prepare students to live in the world, not always to get a job." Perhaps that opinion of a teacher which is synonymous with her fellow academics would explain why the Three R's of Reading, "riting and rithmetic" have been replaced by the near useless new Three R's of recycling, revisionism, and reproduction. It is easy to see why many students are functionally illiterate anymore but can sort recyclables. Ross Sutherland who stated that "Every good town needs a beer store", in the "Sydenham's beer store disappearing act", appeared to be short sighted, considering there have been serious tragic accidents resulting in loss of life and serious injuries to innocent men, women and children victimized by drivers under the influence of alcohol. Perhaps every good town would rather need a church where solid moral principles and personal responsibility were taught. Sadly, many churches today are in error and even apostate, functioning better as social clubs hosting BBQ's and strawberry socials. The article on climate change "Fact check on climate change" as usual, as all such articles do, neglect to mention that carbon credits and environmental fees are but hidden taxes, embraced by the tax and spend policies of the NDP and the LPC/LPO. The "degrowthers" of course want to take us back a few centuries by reducing our industries, and oil production in favor of envirofascism and income redistribution, a socialist policy.
Summit of rural mayors
Mayor Ron Higgins took part in a meeting recently with 14 mayors and reeves from five local counties to discuss issues they have in their own rural townships in hopes that, collectively, they could operate more efficiently. The meeting was initiated by Higgins and
read with amusement Ken Fisher’s statement in his October 8 letter to the editor: “Liberal Phil Archambault is well ahead of NDP’s John Fenik.” In Archambault’s closing statement at the Sharbot Lake All Candidates Meeting, he made a similar claim. Afterwards, I challenged him on this assertion – as there is no poll by any reputable pollster that will support these claims. These statements are a matter of opinion and are being stated as a matter of fact – in order to deceive voters. In the last federal election in this riding the New Democrats came 2nd without mounting a campaign due to the illness of their candi-

Green that all is never as it meets the eye. If the electorate chooses some misguided and misinformed teacher as PM, one who has in all his majesty promised to legalize marijuana, which produces more toxic smoke than tobacco, or the tax and spend NDP, all I can say is they are as vapid as the fools who voted into office the POTUS.

Greater Madawaska mayor, Glenda McKay. It’s “focused on rural and how we can work together to help each other,” Higgins said. Mayors and reeves from Hastings, Renfrew, Frontenac, Lennox-Addington, and Lanark Counties gathered in Madawaska Highlands on October 6 and shared the experiences they’ve had. Each mayor submitted their five most important issues and those were then whittled down to two priorities that the collective could focus on. Higgins explained to Council on Tuesday that they aren’t alone with the issues they are facing in North Frontenac, such as economic development, cash flow, and amalgamation. It was decided that joint tendering for purchases of items such as sand and gravel was one of the most important issues they could work together on. The second priority was policing and Mayor McKay proposed a new approach to break-
ing out the cost of reporting to their residents so the actual cost per resident, as opposed to the levy cost, is shown. She hopes this could alleviate some of the confusion around the new increased policing costs. Their next meeting is November 6 in North Frontenac.
Out fer a rip
Council agreed at Tuesday’s meeting that a discussion is overdue regarding the role of ATVs in the future of North Frontenac tourism, and the need to define ownership and responsibilities for different sections of trails in the township. There is concern regarding the destruction ATVs can cause on local trails and council agreed there is a need to create rules to govern usage in the township. An in-depth discussion was postponed until Councilor Denis Bedard could be present as he helps organize an annual ATV trail run in the township and could offer some insight.

The Golden Rule
onfucius said (in Chinese) something like “Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself”. 2015 Canadian version “Those with the gold make the rules”. We keep hearing about billions to build hockey and baseball and football stadiums and fighter jets and on and on, but somehow when it’s time to “balance the budget” we just can’t build homes and schools and hospitals for our First Nations people. Say nothing about seniors’ homes so that the hospitals are not full of seniors taking up beds and expensive care. Harper wants to memorialize his anti-Communist feelings. In the voting booth look before you leap. Where will we fall and how low will we go? - Carmel Gowan
date. While no vote can be taken for granted, when one reviews election results federally and provincially since 2011, it is clear that the base vote for New Democrats is stronger than it is for Liberals. In our canvasses and meetings with voters throughout this large and diverse riding, we have found former Liberal and Conservative voters coming forward to support John Fenik. Strategic voting organizations that are rallying voters to vote against the Harper Conservative Government have recognized the strength of John Fenik and the New Democrats and as a result, recommend in LanarkFrontenac-Kingston that the best opportunity to oust the Conservatives is to vote for John Fenik. That is how progressive voters vote. - Linda Hunter

• We raised $1081 in the summer at the Plevna LCBO and we knew that if we were going to make our goal this year, we were going to have to get creative! We started this month with giving little snack bags and bottles of water away for each donation. Then we went one step up and started to give stuffed animals away to customers that donated. Knowing that we had quite a milestone left, we organized a big customer appreciation day to encourage customers to come in one last time to donate on Saturday, Oct 10. We had a yard sale table, pumpkins for sale and we gave away snacks and coffee. My children, Charlie age 10 and Amy age 9, jumped on board, to make balloon animals for donations. We are very proud to report that with a little creativity and teamwork and thanks to our generous community, $2297 was successfully raised for our 2015 local United Way Campaign! • The next Jack's Jam is Sat.

Arden Legion open mic to become regular monthly event
for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston Linda Faith and Larry Birney by Julie Druker he second installment of the Arden Legion's Open Mic event on October 10 attracted more than double the musicians compared to the inaugural event two weeks earlier. Organizers are hoping to see the event continue to gain in popularity and with that in mind have decided to make it a regular event, which will take place on the second Saturday of every month from 1 - 6pm. To date the open mic is not only attracting local talent but also musicians from afar willing to travel a considerable distance to have the opportunity to play. That was the case for Linda Faith of Kingston who made the trip from Kingston on October 10 to sing her three-song country set that included Willie Nelson's “Remember Me”, and Flatt and Scruggs' “Gimme My Flowers While I'm Living”. She said she made the trip since she loves “to get out and play and socialize with other musicians.” Marg and Dwayne Taylor, both musicians and singers who recently retired and returned to live full time in Arden, are thrilled to have a local regular venue where they can play and meet other local players. Local musician Larry Birney of Arden, who plays and sings and “loves to jam”, initiated the event. He approached members of the Legion with the idea of a regular open mic in the hopes of giving local players a chance to get together regularly. Theresa Hooiveld, whose partner Peter

has participated at both events, is the official name taker and at the second installment, participants were invited to play up to three songs. However, she states that number can change, based on the number of players who show up. The Legion's fund-raising chair, Malcolm Sampson, said that a similar event was started three or four years ago but eventually fizzled out. He said that the second Saturday was decided upon since it does not conflict with other similar musical events in the area. Legion volunteers open up the kitchen and bar for the open mic, which so far has been free of charge for listeners and players alike. Sampson hopes to see the event catch on, especially in the winter months, since it will make for a warm and cozy way to spend a musical afternoon.

RAFFLE WINNERS
Henderson - continued from pg 5 local businesses and friends, Joanne Benoit and family, Mahoney families, the popular event over the past eight years has raised $20,000 for the hospital. Terry Good expertly weighed in the fish, with the largest fish caught by Charles Hawley of Harlowe. Jackie Perry caught a fish of the same weight, but Charles weighed in first and was declared the winner. Eleven children participated this year and Taylor Cowdy won the children's division, followed closely by her brother Riley. Other highlights included an awards presentation, BBQ supper, draw of tickets for prizes, silent and live auctions with Mike Sullivan, a long-time friend of the Mahoney family and coach to the late Pat Mahoney. Thanks to Kaladar Shell and Northbrook Petro-Canada's donation of fireworks, the event ended on a real blast of light, colour and sound. • Our Land O' Lakes Seniors cruised up to Pine Meadow in Northbrook to visit our many friends there, share some laughs and bring along some snacks. Group members, fresh from a recent road trip to the Gatineau hills, are taking advantage of the good weather for travels and visits.

NFLT presents The Miracle Worker A by Carol Belanger
t the end of November, North Frontenac Little Theatre will present the Samuel French production of William Gibson's “The Miracle Worker”. In researching this play, certain aspects of Helen Keller's life stood out. Firstly, she keenly appreciated nature and described it with exquisite attention to detail. She also took great pleasure and comfort in simple, daily tasks and in learning about life. These enjoyments were expressed much later when she wrote several books. Her early years however were marked by much struggle. Because she could not speak or hear but she could think and reason, she was terribly frustrated and expected much from herself. She put her hands on others' lips to feel them speak for example, and wondered how to make her own mouth work. She had a tendency toward terrible outbursts. The play The Miracle Worker is a vivid portrayal of Helen's family life and their struggles. We get a good picture of her mother's fierce love and anguish, of her father's frustration, and of her brother's resignation. We see their family dynamics not centered on Helen, but greatly influenced by her. We learn of key people in their lives, including Dr. Alexander Graham Bell who suggested that Helen could be taught, and Bell's son-in-law, Mr. Anagnos of the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston, who sent a young teacher, Miss Annie Sullivan, to Ala-

Behind the Red Door at Long Bay Farm
V
isitors to the Red Door Studio Tour this past Thanksgiving weekend not only had a chance to get up close to a number of particularly friendly farm animals but also enjoyed perusing a wide variety of art and craft items made by the over 18 talented artisans showing their work there.
One artist was Mary Lou Devine of Simply Devine Paverpol of North Gower, Ontario, a fabric artist who incorporates a relatively new product called Paverpol in her unique fabric sculptures. Paverpol is a water-based, environmentally friendly polymer medium used to saturate fabric, giving it a hard and durable finish that enables the sculptures to survive long term both in and out of doors. The medium, which has been around for 15 years, was first discovered in the Netherlands by a group of sculptors who were making over-sized floats for a Mardi Gras style event that takes place there. The artists were looking to get away from the toxic materials normally used to finish their creations and came up with a durable water-based polymer product that is human, animal and environmentally safe. Devine, who worked as a federal public

t was dark day for humanity. But shining through the darkness of September 11, 2001 was a light that came from the kindness and hospitality of the people of Gander, Newfoundland. On the fateful day, that community embraced and absorbed over 6,500 stranded passengers. Theater lovers won’t want to miss Trevor McKinven's portrayal of four of the “Plane People", which will bring to life a great piece of Canadian history How did a young man from North Hatley, Quebec, make a name for himself by writing a one-man play and performing as a Newfoundlander? When all air traffic was ordered to land on "The Rock" the locals went into action. They had the airport facilities to accommodate the influx but not the hotels/ restaurants. So, the townsfolk took the displaced into their homes, giving them a place to rest their weary heads, have a good homecooked meal, and a dose of old-fashioned Nfld hospitality. Of the “come-from-aways” who became part of the Gander family dur-
ing that memorable week, many left as lifelong friends of their host families. Join four of these “plane people” as they reunite and reflect on that week-long international slumber/kitchen party. McKinven imagines their reunion as they remember their forced, and extended stay in a place they’d never heard of. With heart-warming humour, the one-man play takes a close look at the bonds formed in the midst of tragic circumstances. During one interview, McKinven stated that the intimate atmosphere of a church auditorium lends itself perfectly to his play. The setting is meant to be a relaxed kitchen party, and that’s just what the audience experiences! Since 2011, McKinven has performed his show more than 100 times. The venues have ranged in size from packed theatres in Montreal to church basements in the Maritimes. See you there, Saturday, October 30, 7:30pm. Tickets $12 at the door. Light refreshments will be served.

servant in Ottawa for years and retired in 2009, took up paverpol fabric sculpture one year later and has been making work ever since. Her creations are whimsical mostly figurative forms, some table top sculptures, others free standing taller forms with titles like Gilbert of the Gower, a smiling leapfrogging elf. Devine said Gilbert was the result of challenge she suggested to a fellow Australian paverpol artist, who agreed and posed the challenge to other paverpol artists around the world. Some of Devine's other works include tall table top figures, some of which function as necklace holders and have a surface that resembles metal, which results from adding
small stones to the medium. Paverpol is a versatile medium that can be applied to any natural fibre and for artists who especially like to clothe their creations, paverpol is a great way to go. Devine, who started first as a painter, said that working as a paverpol sculptor allows her to paint as well as sculpt. As far as her inspiration goes, she said her ideas come from everywhere but most often her characters tend to create themselves. “I often start with an idea in my head and will find myself struggling until the character decides exactly what it wants to be.” Devine offers classes in paverpol sculpture at her home studio in North Gower and plans to offer classes in Kingston as well.

GREEN BAY DISPOSAL SITE – FALL HOUR CHANGES
CF Council welcomes new public works manager - Oct. 13, 2015
Just a reminder that Green Bay Disposal Site will be returning to winter hours as of Friday, October 16th, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, Fridays only. It will NOT be open on Sunday mornings until next spring. This site is for tagged household garbage and recycling only.
Smith stated, “We have to be careful that we are not drawn into a 'he said she said' situation” but she agreed that staff could assist by advising the two parties and helping them come to an agreement. Construction numbers up: Chief Building officer Jeremy Neven was pleased to report that the overall construction numbers were up significantly in September. Construction values ($610,564) tripled those of September 2014, and the year date numbers ($5,643,735) are $2 million over 2014 levels after nine months. Permit fees were just short of double the 2014 year to date total at just under $80,000. Amnesty Load numbers: This year's amnesty load program was used by 609 residents, resulting in 16% of residents taking advantage of the program, which according to the report amounted to lost tipping fee revenues for the township of $20,464. Loan approved for Fifth Lake Road construction project: Council approved Treasurer Michael McGovern's recommendations to approve a five-year loan agreement with RBC in the amount of just over $1 million at an interest rate of 2.15%. These loan payments were approved in council's 2015 budget and Mayor Smith reminded council that a $2 million grant through the SRNMIF (Small Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Funding) program will cover two thirds of the total costs of the project, which came to $3 million. Olden Ball Field construction plan revisited: At the request of Councilor Jamie Riddell, Treasurer McGovern presented the original 2010 plan to revamp the Olden Ball Field. The total estimated cost of the plan at that time was $340,000 and included costs for lighting, parking lot and roadway, fence, benches, dugouts, canteens, washrooms as well as a playground facility. Riddell said that he would bring the report to the recreation committee and return to council with their input in time for the 2016 budget deliberations.

by Julie Druker Mayor Frances Smith introduced to members of council and staff the township's new public works manager John Badgley, who attended his first meeting after arriving from Peace River, Alberta where he had been working as an operations manager in highway maintenance. Badgley, who was born and raised in Tweed, Ontario, is now working alongside Steve Reynolds until he gets his bearings. The mayor also introduced students Luke Maloney and Amanda Herbert from the University of Guelph, who are studying rural planning and development. Council approves road signage to deter trespassers: In a delegation to council, Central Frontenac resident Alyce Gorter addressed the issue of hunters and ATVers trespassing on her private road and property. In 2014, the owners of a hunt camp near the property received township approval to construct a road from Fifth Lake and Mountain Roads, which follows the municipal boundary for a short distance. In a letter to council, Gorter explains that this approved road “now leads directly to a long established road that was developed by a local land owner for his private use” and one, that Gorter claimed “has not now, nor has ever been open to the public. Gorter said that drivers on the approved road are now continuing along the private road and that “despite the installation of a hinged gate and a large 'private property' sign”, the road is still being used by the public, mainly by hunters and weekend ATVers to access interior lakes and camps. Gorter claimed that not only was the hinged gate removed by trespassers but beaver dams on her property have been either damaged or removed altogether. Her first request was for signage at both ends of the private road, which Council agreed to do. Gorter's second request was for council to enter into a “partnership” with the affected residents in an effort to prevent illegal trespassing. In denying the second request Mayor

Desert Lake Causeway’s Culvert
Bill Pedersen,former owner of Desert Lake Campground and Larry Showler of Frontenac Outfitters, came as a delegation about the culvert between Desert and Holleford Lakes. Speaking of the area’s enormous potential
for tourism and small-boat recreation, they asked whether the culvert could be replaced by a bridge similar to the one that had been removed in 1989, to again allow boat passage under the road. The current culvert is due for repair by relining. They hoped that a bridge might also improve the water flow through Holleford Lake, which has become silted and clogged with weeds over the past 15 years. Councillor Sutherland questioned the value of a bridge, saying he lived near the Mitchell

Creek bridge, and since the higher bridge had been installed, the traffic of sea-doos has become an annoyance. He recommended looking at ways of making the short portage across the roadway more convenient.
Budget Time Begins
Council has been asked to comment and provide direction on the proposed 2016 capital budget. The capital budget reflects expenditures that are greater $5,000 and either have a lifespan of over one year, add value to an asset, or are a one-time expenditure. As a first step, CAO Orr submitted a proposal for a Non Public Works capital budget of $192,500 with $112,500 coming from 2016 taxation, $80,000 from reserves which have been set aside for this purpose. This will address items relating to technologies for corporate services and protective services: both building and fire departments. The public works section, which includes facilities, roads and solid waste services will come forward October 27, and these, along with the operating budget, will be discussed at a special Council session on Saturday Nov 14. Council has set a target increase in the township’s levy at 2%.
Procedural By-law – absent mayor forced to wear chain
Council finally moved into the home stretch of what has been a grueling year-long process of bringing their procedural by-laws up to date. Originally proposed by Councillor Schjerning, the process has drawn varying degrees of interest from Council members,
insulation â– siding â– railings weather proofing â– roofing â– tools
by Wilma Kenny but all seemed pleased to have the final issues narrow to a very few. All agreed on using Roberts’ Rules of Order for situations where the rules of the Canadian Parliament are silent. Schjerning pressed to reduce the number of meetings from four to two per month, saying that “some staff members have said they find the preparation of reports for weekly meetings is onerous.� When asked about this, CAO Orr said that the number of required reports would not change, though there might be a bit more time to gather information. “Human nature being human nature, there will still be a scramble for deadlines.� The vote was 4-3 in favour of the status quo, with the possibility of trying out a twice-a-month schedule in the third year of their mandate. The final issue was a dress code for Council: would all but Pat Barr be required to wear a shirt and tie to meetings? There was quick agreement that individual councillors could be depended upon to dress neatly and appropriately, without resorting to a formal dress code. The real discussion centered around the township’s new chain of office: now they have one, when should it come out of the drawer? In the mayor’s absence, the final vote was 4-3 in favour of his wearing the chain of office at each meeting.
Johnson Point Development
Councillor Sleeth will arrange a boat so councillors can view the shoreline from the water at Johnson Point on Loughborough Lake, an area proposed for subdivision development. This will be done before freeze-up, while the water’s low.
