Strawberry Moon Festival
by Jeff Green he Strawberry Moon Festival celebrates the end of the school year and the culmination of the visits by Marcie Asselstine, the Aboriginal playgroup co-ordinator at Northern Frontenac Community Services, to area schools. Asselstine, a member of the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation, delivers a program based on Algonquin teachings to students at Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake; Prince Charles Public School in Verona; Land O’Lakes Public School in Mountain Grove; Clarendon Central Public School in Plevna; and St. James Catholic School in Sharbot Lake. “It just so happens that the end of the school year, the strawberry moon, and the solstice, which is also National Aboriginal Day in Canada, all came together on the same day this year,” said Asselstine, on a brilliantly sunny, and comfortably cool Tuesday, as six classrooms of children clambered back onto their buses after a morning spent in the hall and on the grounds of St. James Major Catholic Church. After a ceremonial opening prayer by Shabot Obaadjiwan Chief Doreen Davis in
T
Round Dance to mark the end of the Strawberry Moon Festival in Sharbot Lake the hall, the children took turns visiting four stations over the next 90 minutes. In the hall, they did crafts under the supervision of Marianne Wilson and Susan Ramsay, and ate cornbread and berries prepared by John Davis. Outside they squeezed into a teepee and listened to stories from Danka Brewer;
then they climbed up the hill behind the church to listen and move to the drumming of the Women’s Drum (Valerie Hermer, Lily Lagace-Zierer, Nancy McDermott, Sandy Hallam and Pam Giroux). Afterwards they all gathered for a massive round dance at the drumming circle.
“We've done Strawberry Moon Festivals for a number of years now, and they just get better and better,” said Asselstine as she waved goodbye to the students for another year.
Still more indecision on Org review - South Frontenac Council by Wilma Kenny ouncil agreed unanimously to re-open the issue of the CAO’s five recommendations for moving forward with the organizational review in 2016. The motion brought forward was to approve Orr’s recommendations, most of which focus on working toward eventually hiring a Development Services Manager who would help prepare the Township to assume responsibility for approval of plans of subdivision within the Township. Deputy Mayor Sutherland proposed an amendment to the motion which would exclude one of the more controversial recommendations from discussion: the proposal to relocate of the Pubic Works Manager’s office. Discussion of the amendment soon veered into discussion of the original motion. Several felt there was no need to move so quickly in hiring another staff member until the Township was more prepared to take on a greater role in planning. Ross Sutherland disagreed, saying “Look at the present state of our planning department; we’re not ready to step forward, and are unlikely to get approval from the County if we’re not even prepared to commit money to change.” Mayor Vandewal agreed with Sutherland; “ The County won’t look at us if we’re not prepared.” Councilllor Revill said he was not sure what more the Corporate Services Committee could add to the discussion. Councillor Barr asked that the motion on the table be re-read, and Council was reminded that they were supposed to be discussing moving the Public Works Managers office and not whether to hire a planning coordinator.
C
In spite of this, the general consensus was that further discussion about planning was necessary, and Councillor McDougall said perhaps more could be accomplished if a smaller group, i.e., the Corporate Services Committee, tackled all the issues and brought recommendations back. Somehow in all this, the proposed amendment was set aside and Council agreed to refer the whole issue of the CAO’s Organizational Review recommendations for 2016 back to Corporate Services, asking them to report to Council in August.
Zoning by-law Amendment, J. Campbell Property, Canoe Lake Council passed a by-law amendment, rezoning land abutting James Wilson Road in Bedford, to permit creation of three new waterfront lots on Canoe Lake. Although the Cataraqui Regional Conservation Authority had originally requested a 60-metre set-back from water for building on all three lots, further review by Ontario Lake Assessments determined that 30 metres would be adequate for two of the new lots, and 45 metres for the third one. The ownership of the strip of sand along Jame Wilson Road, which had been traditionally used for public swimming, was a controversial issue. However the updated survey establishes that most of the beach is on the public road allowance. Council decided not to enlarge the area of public use by requesting a strip of parkland adjacent to the road, which would have caused a potential parking hazard at the curve of the road. The planning report also referred to possible danger to swimmers posed by an underwater hydro line, although there have been prior assurances from Ontario Hydro
to the contrary.
Vendor of Record List Compiled “Vendor of record” refers to those vendors who have an ‘acceptable business relationship’ with the Township which pre-qualifies them to provide goods/services to the Township. Township policy permits these vendors to be used when a purchase is between $150 and $25,000, and the services are within budget. Policy also requires a list of these vendors be compiled and recommended for Council’s approval on a bi-annual basis. Treasurer Fragnito presented Council with a nine-page list. Council suggested this list might be more useful if: it included amounts of money spent on each vendor; was arranged in categories rather than alphabetically; a simple ‘report card’ score was developed and included each time one of the vendors of record was used by the Township.
Shoreline Damage Remediated Planner Mills recommended that the holding symbol be removed from a Sydenham Lake waterfront property (part lot 8, Concession V, Souci), in order to permit development to proceed. The lot had been created in 2007 with strict conditions (from the OMB) requiring the developer to maintain mature shoreline tree growth in order to prevent erosion of the steep embankment within 30 metres of the lake. However, the owner had brought in heavy equipment to gouge a roadway down through the bank, and to level a sitting area. Mills said that insufficient remediation attempts had led to a hold being placed by Council on any further development until satisfactory remediation had been completed. The forced roadway has now been filled
in and overgrown and the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority has reviewed and approved the property remediation. Accordingly Council has removed the holding symbol, to permit building on the lot.

Sharbot Lake Criminal Court
The sad story of Ruger the dog
Member of the Ontario Community Newspaper Association
by Jeff Green
SINCE 1970
L
arissa Card, 26, of Kingston, pleaded guilty to a charge of neglecting to provide care for an animal in her charge, and received a suspended sentence, 12 months probation and 50 hours of community service. That’s the simple part. The synopsis of the case led Judge Geoff Griffin to deliver a rare, for him, lecture to someone he was convicting of a crime. In January of 2015, Ms. Card was picking up the child of a friend, Katie White, at the home of a relative of Ms. White, on ElginYoung Road off the Long Lake Road near Parham. White’s uncle pointed them to a dog, Ruger, which he said he was taking care of because it was being abused by its owners. It should be noted that the abuse was only told to Card by White’s uncle, but was never proven or even alleged in court. Ms. Card took Ruger with the intention of caring for him at her home in Kingston.
Shortly after leaving, Ms. White received a call from her uncle saying the dog was not being abused and should be returned to its owner, who also lives on Elgin-Young Road. According to Card, instead of driving to the dog owner’s home, she just let the dog out of the car at one end of Elgin-Young Road. The dog has never been seen since. Before sentencing, a number of ElginYoung Road residents, who were in court to see how this case would turn out, raised their hands and were allowed to make statements. They said that the dog was well known by the community, and if he was left at the end of Elgin-Young Road as Card maintained, he would just have gone to someone’s house and been welcomed, as he was well known and liked by the entire community. Judge Griffin said to Card, “I don’t believe for a minute that you let that dog out of your car at the end of the road. I believe you took that dog somewhere else, maybe back to
Drought conditions worsening by Jeff Green s the weather continues its hot and dry pattern, local conservation authorities are sounding the alarm bells. The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority issued a statement this week, on Monday, June 20. The statement said the Mississippi River is in a minor drought condition, but that the tributaries are now experiencing a moderate to severe drought. Flows in the river are at 25% of the norm and in the tributaries the flows are at 10% of the norm. While lake water levels remain at the summer average, they are starting to drop. “Water conservation is recommended for everyone within the watershed,” said the statement. Quinte Region Conservation issued a level 1 low water warning in early June, and has requested that homes and businesses
A
reduce water consumption by 10%. Both the Cataraqui Region Conservation (CRCA) and Rideau Valley Conservation Authorities (RVCA) issued slightly more optimistic statements just after some heavy rains in early June. On June 7, the CRCA said it was maintaining its minor drought level even though 20-50 mm of rain had fallen on the watershed in the two previous days. On June 9, citing the same rains, the RVCA downgraded its warning to minor. With little rain since then except for heavy but spotty thunderstorms on Monday, the next statements from both the CRCA and RVCA will likely be more dire. Residents in all districts are advised to check for fire bans before lighting any fires, as bans have been issued in different jurisdictions at different times over the past month.

Kingston, and gave it away or did something else. That is really mean.” Another neighbor came forward and asked if Griffin could order Card to tell the truth about the whereabouts of the dog, but Griffin said he could not make any such order. “That’s what the court was told and we can’t pursue it further,” he said.
Pre-sentence report in assault case - Sasha Lauzon, 47, pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault. The victim in the case was a former client of Lauzon’s. Lauzon is a home-care nurse who works for Bayridge Medical Services of Ottawa. The incident took place after Lauzon had ceased working for the victim, and they had struck up a friendship. It took place at a cottage on Palmerston Lake that had been rented by Lauzon’s mother. In the course of an evening, Lauzon struck the victim several times, in the head and body, and also grabbed an i-phone that the victim had used to document the event. “I think you will need to undergo a presentence report process in order to enable your lawyer to argue for an unconditional release instead of a suspended sentence in this case,” said Judge Griffin to Lauzon in ordering the report be prepared. A suspended sentence would create a criminal record, which would cause Lauzon to lose her employment. She will return on October 21 for sentencing, and is expected to provide payment for the destroyed phone
in the interim. First Appearance – Leon Stiles, 58, is charged with possession of an illegal substance. He will return on August 8 on the expectation of diversion. Ongoing Peter Botting, 42, charged with threatening death/bodily harm, dangerous operation of a vehicle, and failure to produce identification, will return with counsel on July 18. Melissa Lariviere, 25, charged with fraud under $5,000 in value, will also return on July 18. Cory Bobillard-Delahunt, 24, charged with failure to stop at an accident, obstructing a peace officer, theft of a motor vehicle, and nine other traffic offences, will also return on July 18. He is currently incarcerated in Ottawa awaiting processing on other matters. Michael Tryan, 23, charged with careless driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident, was not in court, but no bench warrant was issued. Instead the matter was deferred until July 18, on the expectation that further charges will be levied against him.
Youth Matters
An 18-year-old male youth, facing assault, threatening death/bodily harm, assault with a weapon, and possession of a weapon, has applied for Legal Aid, but for bureaucratic reasons the approval has not come in. He was told to be diligent about finalizing his application and will return in July with a lawyer

Canadians are living longer but doctors who specialize in the care of the elderly, geriatricians, make up only 1% of all the doctors in Canada. If any readers are considering medicine as a career, think of geriatrics as a specialty. We often mention the benefits of regular exercise to our health. We talk about walking, swimming, exercise circuits etc. One activity that can be really, really helpful to prevent heart disease is dancing. It’s a good mix of aerobic exercise and social interaction. You’ve got to break a sweat, though. Salsa anyone? As the weather warms up, it’s good to review what to do if a person has heat stroke caused by the body’s overheating. Cooling the patient is paramount. Move them to a cool place, remove as much clothing as possible and sponge them down with cool water. And call 911. If the heat stroke is severe, it can cause brain injury and death. It’s an emergency situation so quick action is a must. With the possibility of changes in the marijuana laws in Canada, it bears mentioning that use of alcohol and marijuana together impairs driving more than either substance alone. In our pharmacy, we are committed to giving you the time to ask any questions you may have about your medication and to give you the information we feel you need to know about every new prescription you receive from us. Make our pharmacy your pharmacy.

june 23, 2016 essential. It is not too late to register for the Mazinaw Lake Swim Program, which runs from July 4-29. No need to be from the area to sign up; all cottagers & summer visitors are most welcome. Can’t commit to a full term? Reduced rates are available. For more information, please contact Mary Kelly at yram@golden.net. • Fill the gas tank and get ready for a road trip this July 1. No, not to go camping; not to visit friends, but to join in on the Hwy 41 yard sale. This yard sale goes the entire length of the highway, all 134km from Napanee to Pembroke! Oh my, where to begin! • As a volunteer at Pine Meadow I am totally blessed to be surrounded by the most beautiful older generation of our community. Two people who call Pine Meadow “Home” have fallen in love and will soon marry. Congratulations, Barb and Garry on your engagement and on your wedding this coming Saturday, June 25! An awesome “Thank you” goes out to the staff at Pine Meadow who have been assisting the happy couple with each aspect of their wedding. They have truly gone above and beyond the “call of duty” to make sure Barb and Garry have a beautiful and memorable day. • Those living on or visiting the Mazinaw will be graced with a truly magnificent sight on Saturday, July 9 with the many sails of boats and boards coming together for the 2nd annual Sail Mazinaw. Have they come together for a race or are they part of a regatta? The answer is “No” to both questions. The flotilla is to “show off” Mazinaw Lake as a sailing venue. Who can join in? All cottagers and campers are invited to rig their boats and boards and join this flotilla. This will be quite the sight to behold! More details next week or check out Sail Mazinaw on Facebook! • On a personal note, I want to wish my husband Kerry a very joyous retirement as his career of 37+ years with Telesat comes to a close. I pray he will enjoy the time he now has to compose music, to build his model railroad, to shoot pool, and to sail any time he wants! Perhaps his “Escape” sail will be one of the ones seen at Sail Mazinaw!
HENDERSON
Jean Brown 613-336-2516 • Henderson United Church hosted their annual cemetery service with a capacity crowd led by the Rev. Darin MacKinnon. As always the grass and grounds were fantastic with thanks to all. • Henderson United Church continues to gear up for their annual mammoth yard sale on Friday & Sat. July 1 & 2 at the Henderson Hall from 8am to 12 noon. Donations welcomed from June 24 until June 30; however there is no room for sofas or large appliances. Please make an appointment to bring in your items by calling: 336-2467, 336-2965, or 3362347. This yard sale is always popular and one can visit, shop, and help the church by buying. • We continue to get excited about the inductees into the Land O’Lakes Traditional Music Hall of Fame, which will be launched at the Flinton Community Jamboree, July 29-31. This week's feature is the late Floyd Lloyd- who will be awarded “posthumously” - which means after death his memory and accomplishments will be honoured. Floyd was born on the family farm on Hunt Club Road in Northbrook, and from a young age loved music, entertaining with his band, Floyd Lloyd and the Golden Valley Boys. He dressed in western clothes and was the first local musician to make a vinyl record- quite an accomplishment. Like many of that era, he got a job at General Motors, eventually moved to Oshawa, and became host of his own radio show in Oshawa. He died 21 years ago at age 68 and is buried in the Northbrook Cemetery beside his wife Jessie. Wow- that's exciting to hear of our local heroes and heroines being honoured and part of the Country Music Hall of Fame. What a rich musical heritage we enjoy in our area.

• Our sincere sympathy goes to the Birrell family on the passing of John last week. • Also to the family of Agnes Thomas (Lee White’s aunt), who passed away last week. She was 102 years young. • Sympathy also to the Watkins family on the passing of June. • Hoping Tim Trickey and Delmer Kelford are keeping their spirits high. • Rick Good was watching TV last week when a female peeked through the living room window. No, it had four legs. I guess the moose didn’t care for his soaps because she turned quietly and went back in the woods. I imagine if she had two legs Rick would have given her an invitation to come in and stay for dinner. • We had a good party Friday night at the Fiddlers’, with 18 musicians, lots of good music and dancers. • Open Mic is this Saturday, June 25 from 2 – 8pm. Please bring your instruments and dancing shoes; potluck supper 5:30pm. • Happy birthday this week to Janet Howily and Nora Goodberry.

Storrington Lions appeal for help to save community hall by Catherine Reynolds landmark in South Frontenac Township is in jeopardy of falling into disrepair if it doesn’t receive a life-saving injection of support. Located in Sunbury, the Storrington Lions Club needs to upgrade the washrooms, heating system and wheelchair ramp in its community hall. Considered the heart of the community, the Storrington Lions Club Hall is showing its age after hundreds of functions such as election polls, blood donor clinics, hunter safety training, youth dances, weddings and celebrations of life. The hall has been the centrepiece of the community for more than 45 years. It is owned and operated by the Storrington Lions Club, a popular organization that uses its resources to improve the quality-of-life for residents in Battersea, Sunbury and Inverary. Attached to a historic limestone building known as Limestone School, the hall was enlarged in the 1970s to include a kitchen, washrooms, bar and stage area. The expansion and a roadside sign were constructed with help from the community. Grateful for the community’s past financial assistance, the club finds itself in a situation where renovations exceed resources. The club hopes to inspire support for the hall again. “The Storrington Lions Club Hall has been deteriorating over the last few years and is in desperate need of revitalization,” says Bob Bertrand, President of Storrington Lions Club which has served the community since 1971. “If we don’t revitalize the hall, we could lose this vital part of our community.

Check before burning The Fire Index can change rapidly in any area. Residents and visitors are advised to always check the Fire Ban status in their townships BEFORE lighting any fires.
This would be a tragedy because we will not have an affordable or convenient place for local families to gather.” The club has set a fundraising goal of $75,000 to complete the first phase of improvements to accessibility, amenities and aesthetics. Members are holding a fundraiser at the hall (a classic country OPEN STAGE) on June 26 from 1 to 4 pm. General donations can be made to the club’s Go Fund Me page and in collection jars at Ormsbee’s Mercantile and Sunbury General Store. “We want to make the hall great again,” exclaims President Bertrand. “To do this, we need residents to remember the time they spent here and appreciate the value of this facility. It’s been an honour for the Lions Club to serve the community. We need the community to help us now.” “I think it’s important to save the hall because it’s the focal point of the community,” says Ron Sleeth, Storrington District Councillor with South Frontenac Township. “It’s the only facility around that is capable of holding a major event. We need to help revitalize the hall the way the Lions Club has helped our community through benefits for families touched by tragedy such as house fires and illness. It’s time for our community to give back,” he says. “We need to save our hall.”

Revell Ford celebrates 80th anniversary
F
riends, community members, and three generations of Revells gathered on
June 17 at Revell Ford in Verona to celebrate the business’ 80 year anniversary.
PAGE 7
By Jesse Mills
Like a miniature festival, the event featured food, live music, face-painting, and displays. Lineups for burgers, provided by the Verona Lions Club, twisted around a group of classic Fords that were parked out front. After everyone had eaten their fill, the music ended, and the microphone was handed off for speeches. Mayor Vandewal was up first to congratulate the business on 80 years of success, and to thank them for their contribution to the community, pointing out Revell Ford is “the largest private employer in South Frontenac.” Former member of the Ottawa Senators, Rick Smith, was on hand signing autographs as part of the festivities. He and Councillor McDougall then presented a plaque to owner Larry Revell, the third generation from his family to work at Revell's. Larry sold cars in his younger years at the business, and now works as a general manager. Over the course of
Lost Trades and Back Forty Cheese grand opening by Jeff Green anada Day is on a Friday this year, so July 2 is a big day for events as well. Not only will the farmers’ markets in Verona, Sharbot Lake and McDonalds Corners be open for business as usual, there are many other events scheduled as well. On the grounds of the Crow Lake Schoolhouse in Crow Lake Village, Primitive Catering is hosting a new event, Lost Trades and Handmades, which is billed as a “gathering of the finest food and products created by hand.” Dean Fredette, one the principals at Primitive Catering, describes the event as a tribute to the skills of traditional crafters, whether they work with fabric, metal, in the garden or in the kitchen. Fredette sees an appetite for products that are made by hand by skilled people, and while Primitive Catering is a food company, the same kind of commitment to function and aesthetics is found in a skewer of meat barbequed on an open fire as in the production of fine knives, baskets or any other artisanal

We’ve come a long way from lifting a receiver and hearing “Number please”. If calling far away, we would say, “Long distance, please”. Another voice would come on the line saying “Long distance” and we would recite the destination and number. (London, England, 5642). Most numbers were only four digits. No area codes. To receive a call, each household had a separate number of rings. Could be one

long, two short, or any combination of long and short. Hearing your own ring you picked up the phone and said “hello”. Many lines were shared by several households. If on a party line you could pick up the phone on a neighbour’s ring and hear their conversation. Much news was gathered this way. Gossip as well. The Cloyne Museum’s season opening is this Saturday, June 25 at 11a.m. Bring a lawn chair and tap your feet to the music of the Pickled Chicken String Band. There will be a BBQ too. The museum will be open seven days a week all summer. Be sure to visit.

makes Back Forty Sheep’s milk cheese, have been working on the shed, establishing gardens and feeding a drove of young Berkshire pigs with the whey from the factory. “We thought it would be nice, in this new location, to set up a storefront that we can open on Saturdays throughout the summer, to let people see how the cheese is made, and all the related activities that make for a sustainable operation,” said Jeff about setting up the shop. “We will be holding tours of the cheese factory and the grounds, and we are having some friends join us as well.” In addition to five Back Forty cheeses – Flower Station, Bonnechere, Highland Blue, Madawaska, and the newest Back Forty Cheese, Ompah, there will be some fresh cheese available on the 2nd. Mike McKenzie of Seed to Sausage will be on the barbeque, grilling sausages, and providing meat for Charcuterie plates. Thanks to a special occasions permit, Stalwart Brewing from Carleton Place will be on hand, serving some of their popular brews plus a new summer beer, which is appropriately named Down by River. Three Dog Winery from Prince Edward County as well as MacKinnon Brothers from Bath will also be represented. Black Kettle Catering is bringing their popcorn. And to wash all that food and drink down, Elphin’s own Joey Wright, fresh from a year in the countryside near Avignon, no doubt drinking too much Rhone and Rousillon Valley wines and eating much too well, will be performing on guitar, mandolin and banjo.

the festivities he was on the move, making sure everyone was where they needed to be, and shaking hands on the way. Perhaps it’s due to years of practice hosting anniversaries, but Larry’s speech was refreshingly brief. “I have enjoyed working alongside my father and brother, and am proud to have anoher generation of our family working here. Thanks Nate, Josh, and Brad. I thank God for my grandfather’s vision, my father’s integrity, and for his blessing upon this dealership. Special thanks to all employees. We have a great team here.” After a few more speeches, and the gift of a lovely Ford-themed quilt to Larry’s father, Harry, things settled down a bit and the crowd slowly dispersed. In this quieter setting, Larry gave some insight into how he’d like the business to continue, as his sons and nephew become part the family business. “My father’s been a man of integrity, honest with people, so we want to follow in his footsteps: carry on the tradition; treat people fair. We want to be fair with our employees too; without them we wouldn’t be here.”

Submitted by Brenda Martin larendon and Miller Community Archives have begun a new phase of research. You will recall the Memories of General Stores that was presented in May for their 10th Anniversary. By May 2017 the committee hopes to have research completed on local lodges and housekeeping cottages of North Frontenac (present and historical).

If you have photos, names of lodges/housekeeping cottages or the names of people to contact, CMCA would sure appreciate a call or e-mail. Phone Brenda (613) 479-2837 or e-mail dbmartin@xplornet.ca; Heather at Plevna library (613) 479-2542 or e-mail clarmillarchives@gmail.com. The CMCA will be holding a fundraiser BBQ on Sat.

One of the “Famous 5,” a group that included Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Louise Crummy McKinney and Irene Parlby. In 1927, the five activists petitioned the Supreme Court to have women declared “qualified persons” who were eligible for public office as senators. Although the Supreme Court decided against the petitioners in 1928, the British Privy Council overturned the decision the following year and officially declared women “persons,” remarking that the exclusion of women from all public offices was “a relic of days more barbarous than ours.” police force called?

A proposal from the Land O’Lakes Lions Club to collect beer, wine, and spirits bottles from the Kaladar waste site was well received by Council, but there are some complications. “The Lions brought a large three-sided box with a lid to the waste site,” said Roads and Waste site manager Royce Rosenblath, “but we need to know where to place it and how to encourage the public to use it. There is a cost to having staff separating recycling, however.” “Township staff should not be looking after it at all,” said Councilor Bill Cox. “I could see doing it on a trial basis as long as staff aren’t impacted. I’d suggest they put a sign there, telling the public where to deposit the bottles,” said Councilor Tony Fritsch. Council decided to give the go-ahead to the Lions to collect the bottles on a trial basis at a location to be determined by staff, with appropriate signage.
More bylaw exemption talk The township received a letter from the Mazinaw Lake Resort asking if the noise bylaw could be exempted for a second night this summer. The township has already approved an exemption for one event this summer, although as Clerk Christine Reed pointed out, the township has not yet been
informed about the date of the event. “I think we would cause an upset if we approved this, after the response from some of the public that we heard at our last meeting,” said Reeve Henry Hogg. “They have the stage around, apparently, as we requested,” said Bill Cox. Council did not approve the request for a second noise bylaw exemption.
More bylaw requests At the previous meeting, Council approved the use of the Denbigh Park for the Hermer wedding on September 3, and at this meeting Cheryl Hermer’s request for an exemption from the noise bylaw to allow for amplified music at the wedding was considered. The request was for an exemption until midnight, but in the name of consistency, Council only approved the exemption until 11 pm.
Ambulance safe for the time being Reeve Hogg reported that Lennox and Addington County Council approved an extension of the Loyalist Township Service to 24 hours, up from the 12 hours a day that has been in place. The hours are not, however, being taken from the 12 hour service that is offered out of Denbigh. “The Denbigh service is safe, for now,” said Hogg. Missing from the changes is a plan for the Township of Stone Mills, which has been identified as an under-served area. It

dry spring has led to a higher than normal number of calls to the roads department for this time of year asking for chloride dust suppressant to be applied. Royce Rosenblath said that it will take another week to complete grading and then the suppressant will be applied. “I know people are concerned. It’s the driest I’ve ever seen it at this time of year,” he said.
Kashwakamak Lake Association T submitted by the KLA he Kashwakamak Lake Association (KLA), has been busy. Its lake sustainability sub-committee recently completed the draft Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan and it will be voted on at the KLA’s upcoming Annual General Meeting on July 9 at the Harlowe Community Hall from 9:30 – 11:30 am. The bulk of the AGM will be a presentation, which will summarize the Sustainability Plan, discuss next steps and be followed with a vote. Non-members are welcome at this meeting and people interested in joining the KLA can do so at the door for only $15. The committee began this effort in 2011 and the Kashwakamak Lake State of the Lake Report was presented at the July 2013 AGM as the first step in preparing a lake sustainability plan. They received public comments and did further research and have
now completed the draft Sustainability Plan. In order to complete this third step they need their membership to read the plan, come to the AGM and vote. For the first time there will also be a FREE barbeque following the AGM sponsored by James Train, Cottage Docks, www.cottagedocks.com. People are asked to RSVP by June 30 so there’s enough burgers and hot dogs on the grill. RSVP to Gord Hunter, president@kashwakamak.ca or call 613336-7345. There are also a limited number of printed copies available for those without access to a computer. Three copies of the plan are at the public library in Cloyne. To request a printed copy, please email vp@kashwakamak.ca or call Judy McIntyre at 613-3362882. With a postal strike looming as early as July 2, please make this request as soon as possible.

Frontenac CFDC AGM T
he FAB (Food and Beverage) region was one of the focal points of the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation’s Annual General Meeting on June 14. One of the presenters at the event was Back Forty Cheese of Mississippi Station in North Frontenac. Jeff Fenwick of Back Forty, outlined the role that the marketing of the FAB region and the incentives and support provided by the FCFDC played in the decision he made with his wife Jenna to move each of their businesses to Frontenac County from Lanark County. Anne Prichard, executive director of the Frontenac CFDC, also talked about some of the new initiatives being undertaken by the Wolfe Island Grill and Seed to Sausage. The Food and Beverage Region was set up by Hastings, Lennox and Addington and Prince Edward Counties and the Frontenac CFDC, but even before that, Anne Prichard was working hard to promote craft brewing as a business

That is all changing, however, because Rene Ziegelmaier - a Brazilian of German descent – is poised to open the Wolfe Island Craft Brewery. Working in conjunction with Casey Fisher from the Wolfe Island Grill, Ziegelmaier is going to be renovating the former Kraft building on Wolfe Island, which has been used to house a ship-building operation, and turning it into a brewing and bottling plant. Zielgemaier said he is interested in brewing some of the traditional German beer styles such as lagers and Pilsners, but also some of the modern imperial stout and pale ale styles. These are taking off as Ontario beer drinkers expand their horizons because of all the new breweries that are being established.
Frontenac County Council VCA comes calling: Wayne Conway of the Verona Community Association (VCA) appeared before the monthly meeting of Frontenac County Council last week (June 15). He was looking for support for a new electronic sign project in Verona. The sign, which will be used to promote community events and public service information from the Township of South Frontenac and the County, will be located at the same location as the existing VCA sign at the corner of Road 38 and Burnett Street. The VCA has raised $30,000 to purchase the sign; the Verona Lions Club has committed $2,500 for the installation; and the Township of South Frontenac has agreed to pay the ongoing power bill to keep the sign shining. Conway was looking to Frontenac County to cover the $1,000 (approximate) one-time cost of installing power to the sign. He pointed out that the location of the sign in Verona is central to residents of Frontenac County who travel to Central and North Frontenac, as well as residents of South Frontenac. “The county would be interested in using this sign to promote their events as well. Notices may include information relative to public awareness; warning messages such as severe weather recovery; unforeseen disaster circumstances; K&P Trail information; county events, etc. ,” he said. Council received Conway’s presentation and will consider the proposal. Comprehensive Private Lane Study One of the key elements in the development of Frontenac County’s first ever Official Plan was a concession by the Province of Ontario over further development of residential properties on privately owned lanes. As a matter of policy, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing had been insisting that all new building lot development be restricted to roadways that either become township roads (through a plan of subdivision process) or form part of a vacant land ‘plan of condominium’, wherein a corporation made up of adjacent landowners is responsible for their maintenance. Both of those options are expensive and would hinder the ability of existing county residents to create small numbers of new lots, one or two at a time, and bring new construction and new people into the townships. Joe Gallivan, Director of Planning and Economic Development Services for Frontenac County, promised the Ministry of Municipal Affairs that if the ministry was willing to temper its demand that private lane development be banned, the county would undertake a study of the issue with a view towards creating a set of rules that satisfy the underlying concerns of the province. The main concern has to do with ensuring that the roads are up to a reasonable standard and that emergency personnel – ambulance, fire and police – can get through when necessary.
By Jeff Green
A study was commissioned to look at the existing private roads in the county, and make recommendations for future development. Brian Whitehead, of Jp2g Consulting of Pembroke, prepared a comprehensive report on the matter, which included an inventory of all the private lanes in the county, and looked at which of them are candidates for further development. The study concluded that only 15% of existing private lanes have the potential for further development and recommends that only up to three new lots should be added to those lanes. It also recommends that lanes that are or are likely to be used for permanent year-round residential use should not be privately owned. Whitehead said that while the inventory shows that there should be only limited increase in development on existing private lanes, once the measures are adopted there will be potential for the development of new private lanes in remote areas of the county where there is still waterfront available for development. In receiving the report, members of council noted that it represents a major effort on the part of the consultant and Joe Gallivan. “I think we have persisted in our efforts, and by working with the ministry but not backing down to them, we have saved ourselves the expense of an OMB hearing on our Official Plan, which would have been expensive and might not have yielded a good result. This way we have served our residents’ interests while satisfying the ministry. I think we have Joe, and Brian, to thank for this,” said Frontenac Islands Mayor Dennis Doyle, who was serving as Warden when the County Official Plan was being finalised.
Planning advisory committee formed
Council dealt with the deferred matter of forming a planning advisory committee, the makeup of which was a contentious issue at their meeting in May. One of the changes made to the original proposal was to soften the requirement that each of the four mayors who sit on county council must sit on the advisory committee. In the new version, the mayor can designate the second member of council from their

township as the committee member. As well, the scope of the committee’s role will be subject to review in two years. On one potentially contentious matter, the version of the committee’s mandate that was passed last week is the same as the proposal that was deferred in May. It is the Planning Advisory Committee’s role to conduct public hearings on plans of subdivision and plans of condominium, as outlined in the following proposal in the document: “It is also recommended that the PAC also hold the formal public meetings as required by the Planning Act for subdivision and condominium applications. Currently these meetings are held by each township council at the request of the county. Having the PAC hold these meetings will result in a more transparent and accountable process, as the public will be aware that they are speaking to a committee of county council, and that four of the eight county council members will be present at the meeting.”

ach year, residents of Central Frontenac closely follow the puckball series between the Arden Aardvarks and the Sharbot Lake Sharks. The first team to win four games in a series gets the prize cup, so that, as with the Stanley Cup, there can be anywhere from four to seven games. The teams are of equal skill, so that each team has the same chance of winning as the other. Which is more likely to occur - that the series finishes with the sixth game or that seven games have to be played to determine the winner?

Outdoors in the Land O'Lakes - Tent Caterpillars of
the Land O’Lakes By: Steve Blight
Note from Lorraine Julien: At our property in North Frontenac, we have been inundated with Forest Tent Caterpillars the past few weeks. In more than 30 years, we have never seen so many caterpillars. Although tent caterpillars can have explosive growth in population every few years, the Forest Tent Caterpillar can be much more numerous. They can defoliate thousands of acres of trees but large outbreaks usually only last for a couple of years and the trees seem to survive by producing a secondary batch of leaves. Few birds prey on caterpillars but there are two species of cuckoos that feast on them. Unfortunately I am not sure whether the cuckoos inhabit areas this far north. I had hoped the caterpillars would be finished by now but, unfortunately, the larval or caterpillar stage can last for up to 8 weeks! Most of the leaves they eat are not digestible and so are excreted in the form of tiny fecal pellets. Pretty gross when combined with the sticky pheromone liquid they expel so they can find their way back to their tent or silken mat. Steve Blight wrote an excellent article on this subject a few years ago and it follows here to provide lots of factual information:
I
have strong childhood memories of gathering bluish hairy caterpillars and keeping them in jars until I became bored with that pursuit and my mother quietly released my captives. My attention span at the time wasn’t long enough to see what they would have become if I had looked after them longer. It turns out they were forest tent caterpillars. If I had had more patience and watched them until they changed into adults, I would have been rewarded with a rather dull, medium-sized, reddish-brown moth. In retrospect, it wouldn’t have been much of a reward, so having plenty of other things to do with my precious summer probably saved me considerable disappointment. We have two species of tent caterpillars in our area – the eastern tent caterpillar and the forest tent caterpillar. Both of these native insects hatch in early spring, feed intensively on leaves for several weeks, spin their woolly cocoons, and emerge as adult moths in mid-July to mate, lay eggs and die. Although few birds prey on tent caterpillars, the two species of cuckoos we have in our area are hairy caterpillar specialists, and are known to be more common in areas where tent caterpillars are plentiful. For more information on cuckoos, see the August 13, 2009 Outdoors in the Land O’Lakes column on these interesting birds. Only the eastern tent caterpillar builds an actual tent. Generally found on plants in the rose family, it is most often seen on various types of cherries and apples. The newly hatched caterpillars initiate the construction of a silk tent soon after emerging. They generally live together at the tent site for the whole of their larval life, expanding the tent each day to accommodate their increasing size. The full-grown larva is 40-50 mm (about 2 inches) in length, hairy and brownish black

Aftermath - Micro-world series, continued from page 15
Rather than think of all the ways the tournament can proceed, let us ask what it takes to get to a sixth game. If no one wins in five games, then one team must have won three and the other two. For the sake of argument, suppose the Aardvarks are winning so far with three games. A seventh game is necessary if and only if the Sharks win the sixth game. Otherwise, the tournament ends with the sixth game. Since each team has an equal chance of winning the sixth game, we see that the probability that the series ends in six games is equal to the probability that it ends in seven.

Buck Lake Boatilla 2016 O
nce upon a time there was small lake north of Kingston and two people who lived there prompted a group of friends to get together and go for a boat ride and a picnic. While they were boating around this beautiful lake they collected money from everyone they saw with the purpose of sending an Easter Seals child to camp. Thus the Buck Lake Boatilla was born. It has continued to be a wonderful tradition each year. The results are amazing because of the generous and caring people who reside on the lake. It has become a mission to fund handicapped children and their families to go to Camp Merrywood. Over the past 11 years the Buck Lake Community has raised $162,000 and supported 63 children for 10 days at camp. The camp has amazing facilities and staff. Children who cannot walk are able to swim, sail, kayak, fish and canoe. They participate

in sports, arts and crafts and evening campfires. Their families report major positive changes in social skills and independence. Chad has been to camp and been part of the Boatilla family for many years. He has completed high school and is looking forward to college. He loves to speak and hopes to be an announcer. He is delightful and humorous at our event. It wouldn't be the same without him. Kierra is a young girl who was once very afraid of water. After her camp experience she is like a little tadpole and just loves to swim. She also has an amazing voice and has sung acapella at the Boatilla. Her choice of songs have been "Hear me roar" and "My Fight Song". You can imagine the emotion generated by her beautiful voice. Izzy came to the Boatilla this past year and was hoping to attend Camp Merrywood

in the summer. She was very shy and very concerned about her wheelchair which provides her with the ability to move around. Our guys lifted her and her chair onto one of the pontoon boards and she was able to enjoy the boat parade and celebration barbecue. There have been many Easter Seals children and families at the Boatilla. It is heart-warming to listen to their Camp stories and share their successes. One year they were offered Seadoo rides and they loved it. Their faces shone with joy and their voices were shouting with glee. Chad and Kierra have gone on to be Ambassadors for Easter Seals. They are poised and accomplished young people. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the camp experience has been very enabling for the children. It empowers them with confidence and optimism and helps build relationships with other campers and leaders.
Our Boatilla is an important event that our community has supported in a very big way. Last year there were over 40 boats which gathered at the boat launch and paraded around the lake. It was an inspiring display of community spirit and commitment. We should be very proud of it and it is back again this year. So dig deep into your pockets and look forward to the July 2 Buck Lake Boatilla. Donations can be made at EasterSeals.org. www.easterseals.org/buck-lake-boatilla/.

VACATIONING IN SOUTH FRONTENAC? Nothing can compare to a week at the lake and in South Frontenac we have an abundance of clear lakes, beautiful trails and great cycling. The one thing that can dampen your vacation is the unsightly mess of a can or plastic bag floating by or the sounds of wildlife munching happily on garbage that was not properly disposed of. We hope you enjoy your stay but ask that you please regard our Garbage and Recycling policies. Dumping garbage at the side of the road or at the gates of a landfill on a Sunday night is not only unacceptable, it creates a huge problem for Township staff when their time could be better spent elsewhere. Whether you are a cottage owner, renter or day tripper, please become familiar with collection dates and locations. By all means, take your memories with you but please don’t leave your garbage behind! Any questions; contact Solid Waste Management at 613 376-3027 X 4330
GARBAGE & RECYCLING A FEW DEGREES OF SEPARATION They don‘t like each other so please don’t put them together! As there is one truck picking up the garbage then another picking up your recycling, we ask that there be a few feet of separation between them. A recycle box hidden behind garbage bags may not be seen or vice versa. A bag of garbage being set on top of a recycle bin may be misconstrued as someone forgot the rule about no bagged recycling and left. When your garbage or recycling has been left, please ask yourself why would it have been left? If we all follow the simple guidelines of collection, it will make everyone’s job easier.

Misha Hunter at Blue Roof Farm
“If the feeling in a work of art is strong enough, the work creates its own truth. This you have achieved Misha, in these paintings,” said Kim Ondaatje in her introduction to Misha Hunter’s exhibit. Ondaatje is hosting Hunter’s series of paintings about Attawapiskat at her gallery at Blue Roof Farm, just north of Bell Rock. The show will be open until Labour Day. The “People of the parting of the rocks" are an isolated First Nation located in Kenora District in northern Ontario, the most remote northerly link on the 310 km long road to Moosonee. When his mother taught art in the school there, Hunter visited twice to take part in art projects and work closely with the youth. Sometimes one understands a situation better when one is a bit removed. On his return, in his own studio, Hunter translated the photographs he had taken on his trip into large oil paintings on boards. He also brought back with him the sense of place and the sense of people’s hearts and souls. Misha Hunter’s paintings seek the connection of the land and its spirituality. They also speak of isolation and hopelessness.
Misha paints with sure strokes. He chose to limit his palette to convey not only the rather harsh and barren landscape (trees grow no taller than 5 feet and seem to huddle from the wind) but also the loss of identity that many people struggle with. The size of his paintings allow the viewer to enter and feel the bitter wind for a small moment, or bring one forward with the wish to walk over to that old canoe with its sawed-off tip, and run a finger over the chipped paint. There is a wolf that greets us at the entrance to the town, “Rez Wolf”, a royal looking animal, at home in this winter. A tractor, a trailer, two canoes … items that must have been cherished some time

While we sit in comfortable chairs chatting and drinking coffee at the gallery, Kim relates a few vignettes of her life that show her connection with Indigenous people. One of her earliest teachers was Jack Hawk, an Ojibway elder from whom she learned the “way of the wild”. Blue Roof Farm is a little bit of heaven, created by this grand dame of Canadian art. The view from the window is spectacular – a great wild jumble of cultivated and wild flowers, grasses and trees. At the far end of the garden is a fountain that splashes off the side of a rock. “Everything that you see growing here, except for that maple tree over there, I planted,” Kim states. But speaking of the garden, it is time to get back to work! And off she goes, filling the bird feeders and trimming a bush. Kim’s parting words are, “Tell people to come and see this work; it is really important!” Blue Roof Farm is located at 6313 First Lake Road, north of Bellrock. For information call 613-374-2147. caterpillars can sometimes be achieved by gathering up and physically destroying large numbers of caterpillars when they are clustered together on tree trunks. Eastern tent caterpillars on fruit trees can be managed by pruning out the entire branch and sealing it in a black plastic garbage bag left out in the sun. Since the collapse of the big early 1990’s outbreak, there hasn’t been a year around Bobs Lake when forest tent caterpillars have been anywhere nearly as numerous. However, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources is reporting that numbers are beginning to rise in several parts of eastern Ontario, including the Bancroft area and near Frontenac Provincial Park north of Kingston. Someone should let the cuckoos know! Please send your observations to Lorraine Julien, naturewatching@gmail.com or Steve Blight at frontenac.nature@gmail.com

her work with the Relay. Her eight-year-old daughter, Kylie, battled cancer as a toddler and has been cancer-free for seven years now, so the family has experienced firsthand the benefits of the funds raised through Relay. Tragically, the family has also lost four members to cancer in the last two years. Doug Kane, unit manager at the Kingston Lennox and Addington Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), spoke at the opening ceremonies. He thanked the participants and especially the Survivors for attending, saying they are “walking, talking billboards” for what the funds raised through the Relay do. He said that the CCS is the only cancer charity that funds research into all the 200 plus types of cancer and that because of research, the survival rates for many cancers have improved dramatically. For example, the cure rate for breast cancer now hovers around 90% - a dramatic increase over the years. Relay dollars also help fund the CCS’s Wheels of Hope program, which provided 9,000 rides for cancer patients in the last 12 months. Doug Kane encouraged attendees to call the CCS office if they or anyone they know is battling cancer and has questions, saying, “If we can’t help you, we’ll find someone who
has the answers for you.” He told the audience that the epicenter in Canada for clinical trials is actually based in Kingston, not in a larger city, and introduced its head, Dr. Chris O’Callaghan, who spoke about his group’s work. The core of funding for clinical trials comes from the CCS and they have resulted in many advances in treatments. O’Callaghan gave one local example: Gord Bowie of the rock band, the Tragically Hip, was recently diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer. Fifteen years ago, the only treatment for this type of cancer was radiation, but now a new drug, which clinical trials have proven to be beneficial, has been added to treatment options. Central Frontenac Councilor Brent Cameron told the story of how his father-in-law battled cancer for a year and a half. He emphasized to the audience that though his father-in-law “did not prevail, he did not lose the battle.” Cameron said, “You only lose when you give up, when you accept things as they are.” Tracy Vallier, who later led zumba for relay participants, also spoke at the opening ceremonies. She told the story of her eight-yearold daughter, Alison, who was diagnosed with leukemia in January 2015. Alison was severely ill and fought for her life for several months, but is doing really well now. The survival rate today for the type of leukemia she has is 90%, another dramatic improvement thanks to research. Because of one of the drugs Alison is taking, Tracy regretfully had to tell her daughter that she could not do gymnastics, to which Alison replied, “When I’m done cancer, I’ll do gymnastics again.” “She said ‘When’, not ‘If’,” Tracy emphasized in speaking of her daughter’s spirit. After the speeches the relay started in earnest, with music and many fun activities to encourage the walkers, including water balloon tosses at committee members. On average, participants did anywhere from 30 to 50 laps each. Among those walking was David Yerxa of Sharbot Lake. David has cerebral palsy and was an inspiration to his fellow participants as he completed 22 laps around the track. The sandy soil made one part of the track difficult for him to negotiate with his walker, but with his usual cheerful perseverance, he simply turned it around and went backwards on that stretch. When all was wrapped up, this year’s relay raised $20,955 and organizers are already planning for next year.
