Canada Day fun in Frontenac County

While the kids played games, adults took the opportunity to visit at events throughout the region on a Canada Day where the rain held off, for the most part. The oddest event this year was certainly the best legs contest for men at Harrowsmith. Top left - waiting to get into the bouncey castle at Centennial Park (Harrowsmith) - top middle - Cooking up a storm at Gerald Ball Park (Sunbury) - top right, riding the Water Slide at the Point Park in Sydenham, and bottom right, the 2017 150th anniversary committee already promoting their plans for next year at the beach in Sharbot Lake

Sydenham fireworks delay disappoints many

by Wilma Kenny (with a file from Jeff Green) im Laprade, the Public Works Department, and a huge number of hard-working volunteers made this year’s Canada Day celebrations the township’s best ever. The fun included water slides, face painting, air castles, soccer, parades, excellent food, and dramatic fireworks at Harrowsmith, Sunbury and Sydenham.

In Sydenham, Canada Day crowds were the first to be allowed onto the newly mowed turf of the football field at the Point to watch the fireworks. Boats crowded the lake, and another group watched from the bridge. 9:45 passed, 10:00, and the band continued to play. Fireworks could be heard, and seen, from Centennial Park in Harrowsmith, but there were none on Sydenham Lake. Any announcements that may have been made weren’t heard by people in the boats or on the bridge. By 10:30, people began to drift away. Rumours spread, but no one knew when or whether the fireworks would begin.

Some, the hard-core fireworks addicts, didn’t give up hope until 11:00 and even they were beginning to straggle off, when the show finally began. It was well worth waiting for, better than ever, but many had gone home by then.

It turns out that the company, Fireworks FX, which provided the fireworks to all three venues in South Frontenac (Harrowsmith,

T

Sunbury and Sydenham) were missing some of the fireworks for Sydenham, causing a delay as they had to bring them in. Then, because the Sydenham show was being fired in a different way this year, a threat of lightning in the area had to be taken more seriously than it would have been with a manual firing system.

In an open letter to the residents of South Frontenac, Fireworks FX President, Fred Wade, explained what happened.

“The display this year was to be fired differently than previously. It was to be all electrical which presents some unique safety hazards with the weather conditions and the possibility of thunder showers and lightning.

The proximity of lightning poses significant safety hazards to the crew in trying to prepare the show, which resulted in a delay.”

However he then said that there were things the company “could have done to help mitigate the lost time and so be able to present the display on time.”

He apologized for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by the long delay, saying, “We would like the community to understand that we take complete responsibility and to offer our sincere apologies to the community and to the committee.”

As well as apologizing, Wade has offered to provide next year’s fireworks show at the Point free of charge. He has also promised that his company will be sure to have bet-

ter technical and communication systems in 2017.

While Fireworks FX has taken responsibility for the delay, the township is considering how it could have done a better job informing the public about what was going on.

In a letter to residents released on Tuesday, Recreation Coordinator Tim Laprade wrote, “The Township of South Frontenac and the Loughborough District Canada Day Committee are also using this incident to establish a more robust and multi-faceted communication strategy in the event that weather, safety concerns or technical delays are experienced at future events. This will be in place for the 2017 event, so that the Fireworks Site Supervisor is aware of the notification expectations of the Event Organizer and that timely updates can be communicated to the spectators who are view-

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

july 7, 2016

Editorial

Verona is being betrayed, once again T

he recent Long Term Sustainability Plan (LTAP) presented to the board of directors of the Limestone District School Board in late May, recommended that Prince Charles Public School in Verona be closed and the students be sent to Loughborough Public School in Sydenham.

What a difference a decade makes.

Nine years ago, Glen Carson, who was at that time the manager of the Limestone Board’s Facility Department, came to a meeting of the Prince Charles’ Parent Council and said, as reported in the Frontenac News in April of 2007 by the late Inie Platenius, “I’m pleased to come here tonight. This is a good news item, and too often I go to these meetings with bad news.”

The good news he delivered was that because the Ministry of Education had determined that Prince Charles was old and needed extensive repairs to reach an acceptable standard, the ministry was going to fund the building of a new school in Verona.

Among schools in the Limestone Board, Prince Charles was at the top of the list of “schools that will be replaced.”

Carson pointed at the end of the meeting that “the process is just beginning, though, so don’t look for a new building for at least three years.”

Three years passed, and another three, and another three, and the school is still

old, but the talk is now only about shutting it down.

One of the odd things about the recommendation in the recent LTAP report is that it proposed to merge two non-neighboring schools. Were the consultants who wrote the report unaware that in order to bus students from Verona to Sydenham, they have to pass through Harrowsmith, which has a school?

Program Accommodation Reviews (PARs) are the processes that the Limestone Board uses to close, rebuild, and consolidate schools. If one comes about in South Frontenac as the result of the LTAP report, it will have to look at all three of the schools and come up with a reasonable plan.

Harrowsmith Public School is an old school, as is Prince Charles, so eventually at least one one of them will need to be replaced and upgraded. An argument can be made, based on geography, that a new school in Verona makes the most sense.

It also makes the most sense from a community and economic development point of view because Verona is the strongest retail hub in the township, and losing a school would damage that.

The problem with any kind of talk about closing schools is that it divides communities, and I am sure families whose children attend that school will not be happy to see

by Jeff Green

any talk of its closing, even in a speculative column such as this one.

However, the LTAP to the Limestone Board, even if it has only been accepted for information, is a policy document that will form the basis of decision-making within the next few months, and while the demographic projections and the global costings in the report may be accurate, the recommendations are based on speculation.

A glaring example of this can be found in an un-related section of the report, the section about North Addington Education Centre in Cloyne. In order to deal with projected enrollment decreases at NAEC, the report urges the school board approach the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care about

turning part of NAEC into a long-term care facility.

First off, there would be no way to accurately budget for the cost of renovating a 45-year-old school to turn it into a long-term care facility that complies with modern rules and requirements. Second, there is already a long-term care facility, Pine Meadow Nursing Home, in nearby Northbrook. The recommendation about NAEC has no basis in fact; it is mere words on a page.

The same can be said of the recommendation to pull the school from Verona. It reveals not only that the consultants did not visit the area to see what it really is like; they may not even have looked too closely at a map.

More delays over Denbigh dump - Addington Highlands Council – July 4

by Jeff Green raig Dobiech and Roberto Sacilotto, from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, appeared before council on Monday to talk about the future of the Denbigh and Kaladar waste sites.

The Denbigh site was closed in 2004, and for the last 12 years the township has been seeking ministry approval to re-open the site on an expanded footprint. The township has purchased land adjacent to the waste site and, according to Reeve Hogg, has “done everything the ministry has asked of us over that time but we have not heard, ever, whether there is any likelihood of the site opening again and when that might happen.”

Speaking for the ministry, Dobiech said that there is a concern about the potential for leachate from material in the existing and the potentially extended site into the water table.

C

He said that, in consultation with the township’s waste consultant, Diedre Johnson, who was at the meeting, and Road Supervisor Royce Rosenblath, additional work is planned for the site to raise the ground level and hopefully divert water around the waste to mitigate the leaching issue.

“Hopefully we can expedite your application to have this work done, so it can be completed this year. We will then require a couple of sampling events to determine how well it works, at least one of them in the spring,” said Dobiech.

“There is one thing about this I don’t like,” said Councilor Bill Cox. “We could do all this, spend more money, after we have spent a lot of money over the years, and end up with the dump staying closed.”

“Whether or not the site can be re-opened, the work needs to be done as part of the clo-

enough extra space created for 6 to 7 years.

“Has this membrane been approved in other places?” asked Reeve Hogg.

“It has, and we can consider it for this site, but we need an application in front of us before we can react,” said Dobiech.

“We are trying to get an application in within the next couple of weeks,” said Johnson.

The township is considering restricting all of the dump sites to household waste, and diverting all construction waste and furniture from the local sites in order to keep them open longer. If approved, the Denbigh site would be liable to receive waste for 30 years.

More noise exemptions – the New Apostolic Church requested the use of the Denbigh ball field for a church homecoming weekend on August 21 and 22, when they are planning to hold an outdoor service and a concert. They also requested an exemption to the noise bylaw for the occasion.

Council approved the noise bylaw exemption.

Library Purchasing Policy – In response to a request from Councilor Cox, the purchasing policy for the Addington Highlands Public Library was included in the agenda package. The poli25 Years Paul Kilpatrick cy, which dates from 2004, in Business! states that for any expendiYOUR #1 CHOICE FOR TIRES! ture over $5,000, three “written quotes” are required.

sure plan,” said Diedre Johnson, as Craig Dobiech confirmed.

“What’s the likelihood, after we do this, that it will yield the results you are looking for and we can re-open the dump?” asked Councilor Tony Fritsch.

“I can’t answer that question,” said Johnson.

“But if we do the work this summer, and test in the fall and the spring, the dump could be open a year from now, could it not?” asked Councilor Kirby Thompson.

“I can’t answer that,” said Dobiech, “but we can expedite the approval for having the work done on the site this year.”

The second topic discussed was the pending closure of the Kaladar Waste Site.

“Essentially, the site is full,” said Johnson, “and it is ready to be capped with .6 metres of clay. However, if the township uses a thinner membrane instead of clay, there will be

Phosphorous and private roads - NF Council June 30 Phosphorus Levels ictor Castro, a senior aquatic scientist from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) out of Kingston, made a presentation to Council on Thursday (June 30) on phosphorus and its effect on the area's water systems. Castro explained that phosphorus, and nutrient enrichment, are the primary water-quality concerns for Ontario's inland lakes. An increase in phosphorus can result in algae blooms in lakes as the nutrients stimulate the production of algae.

Removing trees along a shoreline, or building roads allows water run-off to occur more easily and this can increase phosphorus levels. Castro related this to the benefit

that larger waterfront lots can have, because typically, landowners leave more of the shoreline in a natural state, which helps cut down on phosphorus getting into the water system.

Castro explained that a lake is considered vulnerable to water-quality issues if it has over 20 micrograms of phosphorus per litre of water and that the MOE has designed a model to map current water quality as well as predict future water conditions. He explained that they also use the model to predict the current amount of phosphorus in the lake. They then can confirm the model’s accuracy by testing the water and making sure the numbers are consistent. If a lake is

under-capacity, as far as phosphorus levels go, the model can predict how much more development the lake can take before it becomes vulnerable.

“Mazinaw Lake,” Castro explained, “you could pound that lake with development and never see a change. You could develop that lake; you could put thousands of cottages on that lake and never see anything. … We've done capacity assessments on the most significant lakes in North Frontenac. We're the only jurisdiction in Canada that will set a limit and say that's enough (development).”

Castro explained a few different ways that a property can still be developed on a “capacity” lake. “If the tile bed of the septic system

by Jonas Bonnetta is set back greater than 300M to the waterline, or the property drains to a non-sensitive watershed, or the land is re-developed with no net increase of phosphorus levels.”

Private Roads Study Joe Gallivan, the director of Planning and Economic Development for Frontenac County, presented his report on private roads to Council. The report was commissioned by County Council in 2015 after the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) put restrictions on new developments on private lanes across Ontario.

After the spraying

L

ately as I drive through Lanark County I am seeing dead or dying red clover, daisies, milkweed, buttercups, chamomile, chicory, brown eyed susans, burdock and countless other plants and shrubs. Tips of sumacs are unnaturally yellow and orange. The plants along the road have been killed by Clearview, a herbicide that was sprayed in June to protect us from the wild parsnip plant.

Although well-intentioned, the process hasn’t been flawless. Some stretches of road have been sprayed where there was little or no wild parsnip threat. Parsnip won’t invade forested areas or wetlands. It can’t spread easily past granite outcroppings. It can’t jump out at you from a ditch while you are walking by. It’s a vegetable.

If all you want growing on the roadsides is grass then this is the way to continue, but it doesn’t make for a healthy ecosystem. Many broadleaf plants on the roadsides are neither weeds nor noxious. Clover, for example, fixes nitrogen, attracts pollinators and supports the soil food web. Our pollinators need these plants, and we need our pollinators.

Addington Highlands - from pg. 2 cause it seemed all the work that gets done is solely sourced from one contractor, which is not something we can do at the township, and we pay the library budget,” said Cox. “We might pay the budget, but the library is not required to follow our bylaws. They are independent in that sense,” said Reeve Hogg.

Council received the library purchasing policy for information.

Calcium Carbonate applied – Royce Rosenblath reported that the application of calcium carbonate on township roads for dust suppression has been completed, as have the re-surfacing projects that were approved in the budget.

Aminopyralid, one of the main ingredients in Clearview, remains active even after passing through an animal’s digestive system.

Deer that eat the treated plants will carry the still-active herbicide far and wide through their manure. It can persist in soil for years.

This is a restricted-use agricultural herbicide.

You can’t apply it to lawns, playgrounds and parks. You also can’t use it in Norway, New York State or California where they protect their ground water resources more vigourously. In Montana, they first detected aminopyralid in well water in 2007 and subsequent testing has found it every year since. This is no surprise as the the Dow label clearly states "may contaminate groundwater”. The label also states that it is not to be applied to a "moderate to steep slope". Sounds like a ditch to me.

We can decide to continue the spraying, with the likelihood of creating a more resistant plant. Keep spraying for years, and change it up for more toxic herbicides. Expose our rural children to even more pesticide drift and remember to tell them not kick up the dirt on the side of the road. Pay for expensive tests to check our well water. Or we can decide to leave the wild parsnip alone as they have in Iowa, where they discovered that the plant has stopped spreading and never did threaten any farmers’ livelihood.

The flowering plant is easily identified and it will only hurt you if you snap the stalk, come in contact with its juices and then expose your skin to the sun. Everyone needs to be able to identify this biennial plant in its first and second year of life. Take precautions by using gloves, wearing long pants as one should when in tall grass. Wear protective clothing and goggles when whipper-snipping as advised by the manual. Cover up your loved ones when they walk in the woodlands, fields and gardens. Wash exposed skin after being in the garden. When we work and play outside, we need to be mindful of the many risks out there, and those risks are not just

coming from this plant.

The Ontario Invasive Plant Council recommends mowing to control this plant. Mowing needs to be done before the plant goes to seed so that it can’t reproduce. Some people are shaking their heads as they see many roadsides now being mowed a few weeks after being sprayed…go figure.

In twenty years, I don’t think our grandchildren will be asking us why we didn’t get rid of the wild parsnip plant. Instead they will be asking us why we didn’t do a better job of protecting our water, air and soil. What will we tell them?

The local governments have tried their best to keep us safe from wild parsnip. As for me, I don’t feel much safer. And I’m getting my well water checked.

Re: Tent caterpillars and Forest caterpillars

(Outdoors in the Land o’Lakes, June 23).

I was glad to learn there are 2 types, one with a tent, one without. We have encountered both in our trees. I tried the soap and water and propane torch for a while to try to control them but I read about hornet spray killing them instantly, so I tried it and we now have very few tent or forest caterpillars. I go out in the spring when I start to see them just before dusk and spray the nest once and I’m done for the year. I have been doing this for about 10 years and last year we had none, this year a few due to nests on the other side of my fence. The Hornet spray is by far the easiest method I have found and has kept my apple trees free of them for years. Thank you for the info.

Thank you to firefighters

We would like to thank the Central Frontenac Volunteer Fire Fighters, our neighbors, the Lennox Addington Ambulance Paramedics and the Great War Memorial Hospital Emergency department. We had a fire on our property last Saturday that nearly took away our house. I am writing this in our house and recovering from burns. I tried putting the fire out with the garden hose but it was not enough. So I sprayed myself and the house and tried to keep the flames away until I could not do it anymore because of the heat and pain. As I was dropping the hose to run, the volunteer firefighters arrived and saved us. We were lucky! We should all feel blessed that we have these brave and dedicated people in our community. Thank you all so much.

Heart attacks leave the heart damaged and it is less able to pump blood through the body as efficiently as before the attack. Doctors are working on a “heart patch” using the patient’s own cells that will grow into new heart muscle and will send signals into the heart muscle to develop new blood vessels. The hope is that this new technology will lessen the need for full heart transplants.

It’s the female mosquitoes that are the biters. They are attracted to body heat and the carbon dioxide we exhale. So the greater the volume you breathe out, the more attractive you are to mosquitoes. They like larger people, pregnant women, and those who exert themselves a lot.

The idea of an annual physical exam seems to be falling out of favour in Canada. It’s felt that otherwise healthy people don’t need all the tests done in the annual physical. This doesn’t mean you never contact your doctor for a long time or wait until you get more than one medical problem. Get it checked if you are concerned. Otherwise getting a full annual exam may be overkill and costly.

We produce about one to two litres of saliva every day.

It consists mostly of water. It also contains enzymes to start digestion of food and generally keeps your mouth clean. When we produce so much, it’s amazing that some people suffer from dry mouth syndrome. There is help for that. Talk to our pharmacists.

Pharmacists are the most accessible of all the health professionals. We are very happy to share our knowledge of medications with you. Just ask us!

THE FRONTENAC NEWS rain showers, the ground underneath is extremely dry. The danger of wildfires is high. The much-anticipated firefighters’ fireworks had to be postponed until the fire ban is off.

The North Frontenac firefighters have been out talking with people about the dangers of fire in these conditions and they will continue to patrol the area in hopes of avoiding wildfires.

If you see campfires or fireworks you can call 911. The Fire Ban Information Line is 613-479-0399.

Thanks to all who cooked, prepared the various salads, and helped in the kitchen. Special thanks to Matthew, age 11, Lorie’s grandson, who was a terrific help decorating the hall and cleaning up afterward.

Northern Classic Car Show in Harrowsmith V

intage car lovers need to mark Sunday, July 24 on their calendars.

That's the date of a new car show at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith, which will run from 8 am to 4 pm.

The show was the brainchild of Larry Teal, a vintage car enthusiast from nearby Howes Lake who maintains 10 vintage cars in gleaming condition and good working order. He has purchased vehicles locally, and gone as far as Phoenix, Arizona to

pick one up. He said he is always able to source parts to keep the cars running smoothly.

For 20 years, Teal participated in the Verona Car Show, which was part of the Verona Festival and will now be running as a stand-alone event in early August.

He has always thought that Harrowsmith Centennial Park could be ideal for a car show, so he approached the township last year to see if they would be amenable to

him hosting his own event.

“I thought that since it is such a great park, we should use it, and when I approached the township they were all very helpful, so I went for it and haven't looked back,” he said.

The event is free to the public and the cost for entries is only $5. Teal said that he has already lined up over 100 vehicles, some of them from the early 1900s and others going all the way up to the 1970s.

“We are offering dash plaques for the first 150 cars to register, and there will be prizes in the different categories, as well as a people's choice award, all to

be handed out at 3 pm,” Teal said.

The show will also feature music from the ‘50s and ‘60s, a canteen courtesy of the

he Crossings Pub kicked off a summer of music programming on June 23 with a rollicking evening of country music by a trio of performers who all write and perform their own songs.

Shawn McCullough has been playing locally ever since he attended Sharbot Lake High School years ago. He is well known as a guitar player for hire for top-notch bands, and sings lead and harmony

vocals as well. Among the tunes he performed on the 23rd was a version of the Ron Hynes classic “Sonny's Dream”, a song performed

by Hynes himself at his first ever show at the Crossings.

Other performers at the venue have covered it over the years, and McCullough's version brought down the house.

Brea Lawrenson is based in Carleton Place but she travels across Canada performing her own tunes, including her most recent release, “Daddy's Moonshine”. She is also a big fan of Fleetwod Mac, and with the help of her two bandmates, did versions of three songs from the classic “Ru-

mours” album.

Wade Foster sings, writes songs, and plays guitar, all well, but he is best known as a fiddler. He plays the country and bluegrass repertoire as well as east coast and Ottawa Valley fiddle tunes.

Since Canada Day was coming up, he played a fastpaced version of the most popular Canadian fiddle tune of all time, the Maple Sugar Rag. Other shows are scheduled for the Crossings in July, including Ouroboros on July 9 (tickets $15) and dinner shows by Sean McCann on July 27 and Valdy on August 4 (tickets $60).

ong-time summer resident of Big Clear Lake of Arden, Lucille Harper, will turn 102 years old on July 9. Although her home is Perry, Michigan she and her husband, Gordon summered in Canada for over 60 years. Lucille has slowed down considerably and lets someone else cut her grass, trim her hedges and paint the house. She spent much of the winter at her son's house in Indiana. Lucille returned home in February to deal with an exciting discovery.

In the photo, Lucille is at a museum of Michigan State University by a display of ancient elk bones more than 5000 years old.

It is a strange story. The antlers and skull were discovered in 1984 in a peat bog on the Harper farm. When researchers from the

Two were on Bordenwood Road and five on Richardson Road; the last two were actually on July 4.

by Carol Raymo orty-nine years ago, in Centennial year 1967, the three pastoral charges of Maberly, Sharbot Lake and Parham joined together to form one unit, named the Centenary Pastoral Charge, to serve God by sharing prayers, resources, clergy, committees, sacred spaces, and sharing their joys and sorrows together.

This year, on June 26 we celebrated the 49th anniversary of the charge (including the churches of Long Lake, Maberly, Oconto, Oso, Parham, Sharbot Lake, Tichborne, Wagarville, Zealand); the 142nd anniversary of our host church, Parham United Church; and the 91st anniversary of the United Church of Canada. We gathered together to thank God for our past and put the future into God's hands. The service was led by our minister Rev. Jean Brown, with special guest speaker Sarah Magie (and Emma) and special guest Rev. Eric Barr (photo at left). Thank you, Parham, for hosting the service. Everything was fabulous!!!

Cloyne Pioneer Museum and Archives C

by Marcella Neely an someone help us identify this item?

We know for sure that the lectern was hand made for the Northbrook United Church. We would like to know who made it and approximately what year; who the minister was; how long it was in use.

Any information would be appreciated.

The lectern is on display in the museum along with the pulpit, on loan, from the Northbrook United Church. In the ecumenical corner we display an antique organ (circa 1901) from Photo by Cathy Hook the Heyburn United Church, donated by Mr. & Mrs. Brownle of Napanee along with old Bibles and other items from area churches. You will see a painting of the five United Churches on the wall. All five, Northbrook, Cloyne, Kaladar, Harlowe and Flinton once had their own church. In recent years they amalgamated and now share a beautiful building just north of the village of Northbrook.

A few facts about the original Northbrook United Church, which is now the clothing depot that we are so accustomed to seeing as a part of the village. The church was built in 1892 where it still stands. The cemetery was already in use at the time. The church was open full time until attendance at churches began to drop off. For years it became the winter church while the Cloyne United, because of park visitors, was the summer church. It closed entirely in the 1970s. The minister up until 1965 was Wayne Hilliker, who had been in the ministry for 60 years by then.

Please send any information about the lectern to pioneer@mazinaw.on.ca or to P.O. Box 228, Cloyne ON, K0H 1K0.

This is a great opportunity for visitors to see the artists’ studios and artists at work.

Nature artist, Carla Miedema, enjoys painting, in acrylic & mixed media on canvas, the rugged landscape and wild flowers around her home in Cloyne. Her intricate drawings of children, homes, and wildflowers are depicted on handmade papers and various other papers.

Debbie Reeve has just returned to Canada. She has been teaching fine art to adults and children and painting full-time for the last 6 years in Kuwait. Although she started painting acrylics in a realistic style then watercolour, she now expresses herself through non-objective acrylic and mixed media. She is striving to create works of art that can bring others a sense of peace, balance and esthetic appreciation.

Gaile Bethell enjoys painting in all seasons, striving to capture the play of light and shadow in the woods at her summer home near Cloyne. The rhythms and music found in her landscape paintings portray a strong sense of place.

Photographer, Trevor Bethell’s passions are flora, birds, and butterflies. He also enjoys capturing the varied landscapes of the Precambrian areas of Eastern Ontario and the scenic beauty of the coastal villages of the Atlantic Provinces.

• Congratulations Jenna and Jeff!! Back Forty Artisan Cheese’s grand opening on July 2 was a roaring success, judging by the amount of people and traffic. Cars were lined up both sides of the road clean to the neighbors on both sides. As well as the tour of the factory, the cheeses and Jenna’s artwork, there were many others selling their wares, including Seed to Sausage, Black Kettle Corn, and Carleton Brewers. There was also live music to entertain you while you sat at one of the many seating areas at this picturesque farm overlooking the Mississippi river. The landscaping done by the Fenwicks is a fine art by itself. Wishing you both great success with your new location for many years to come.

Bon Echo Gallery Monarch Butterfly Program in L&A M The Colin Edwards Memorial Art Gallery, located in the Greystones Gift and Book Shop in Bon Echo Provincial Park, will showcase the work of artists Anna Whitmore and Chris Albert Mueller from June 30 to July 21.

ANNA WHITMORE: Her picture “Glory” captures the resurgence of the birches since the devastation of the ice storm.

ALBERT MUELLER: Albert's landscapes depict a bleakness and warmth at the same time. His picture “Following the Cloud” is a prime example.

By Susan Moore

onarch butterflies will be flocking to 14 elementary schools in Lennox & Addington County this summer and fall. Pollinator gardens are being planted in school yards and butterflies will be raised in classrooms. Participating local schools include North Addington Education Centre in Cloyne, and Enterprise Public School.

The Lennox & Addington Stewardship Council is spearheading the Monarch Breeding Kits for Schools Project. The Monarch butterfly population is dwindling and all of our pollinators need help. The pilot project began in 2015 when 20 Monarch kits were supplied to 13 elementary schools in L&A County. Kits included caterpillars, chrysalides, a milkweed plant, and an aviary.

Students were able to observe the entire life cycle of the Monarch from caterpillar to adult. In September, the children released the Monarchs to begin their migratory route, and the butterflies could be tagged and reported in the Monarch Watch database. This fall generation of Monarchs - the super generation - is able to fly 4,000 km to its winter destination in the mountains of Mexico.

This year in the 2016 Program, nine

schools are planting gardens to help attract pollinators of all kinds: butterflies, birds and insects. Native species will be planted, and when the flowers bloom, the students can watch the feeding action. In addition, 14 schools ordered Monarch Breeding Kits, which will be set up in the classrooms at the beginning of September. The breeding kits come from a nursery that is accredited by the International Butterfly Breeders Organization.

Partners are essential to the momentum of this program. Maya Navrot, from Quinte Conservation, has assisted many schools with site plans and advice on plantings.

Volunteers have contributed native plants and planting time to the pollinator gardens.

Funding for this program has been gratefully received from TD Friends of the Environment, Napanee District Community Foundation, Quinte Conservation, Friends of the Salmon River, and Kingston Field Naturalists, as well as the contributions from participating schools.

For more information, contact Marilyn Murray, manager of the Monarch program, at marilynannemurray@gmail.com

Shakespeare on the lawn A

By Kristine Swaren Company of Fools are the actors, and the McDonalds Corners Farmers’ Market are your hosts on Wed. July 20 at 7pm for “torchlight Shakespeare” entertainment featuring duelling knights, dastardly pirates, proper princesses, promiscuous prostitutes, an ancient goddess and not one but two shipwrecks! How could the Fools have waited so long to tell the thrilling tale of Pericles, Prince of Tyre! When our hero discovers a dark secret about the evil king of Antioch, Pericles is forced to flee for his life. So begins an epic voyage that takes him across several seas to far off lands where he discovers adventure, love and just maybe what life is all about. Don’t miss this exciting, fastpaced escapade set in a mythical world. Fun for the entire family!

For this outdoor show, bring a lawn chair or blanket, bug spray and a sense of humour. Donations are collected at the end of the performance ($20 / adult suggested).

To enjoy a full “dinner-and-theatre” evening, arrive at 5:30 when the market vendors offer a variety of savories and sweets for sale. Bring your own plates and cutlery. info: meraschoolhouse.org.

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.

RECREATION AND LEISURE SURVEY The Township is conducting a survey to get a better understanding of community needs in respect to recreation and leisure activities. The survey along with additional public consultation will help create a new recreation plan that will be presented to Council this fall. By completing this survey, you will be entered into a draw to win a prize pack including a Fitbit charge HR, Private hour of ice at the Frontenac Community Arena and some Township swag. The survey can be accessed online at southfrontenac.net under the Recreation Activities page or directly via www.surveymonkey.com/r/SFrecplan

will have a need for 380 units over the next 20 years and so the current supply does not meet the projected demand. This included potentially creating over 30 units from infilling and extending some existing private lanes.

“There are a number of things that are happening in Muskoka that might happen here,” Councilor John Inglis said. “Land prices are extremely high, the density on the lakes...It will happen if we don't take steps to prevent it. ..We are going to need help if we want to avoid this becoming a Muskoka.”

“The significant advantage that we have is the amount of Crown Land,” Gallivan said. “Almost 2/3 of the area is Crown Land. This area, relative to other areas like Peterborough and the Kawarthas and Muskoka, is different as it's still going to have that protected area.”

Council to give $5000 honorarium to consultant Council, in a recorded vote, decided on Thursday to pay Terry Gervais, a former Napanee Fire Chief, $5000 for mentoring work he did for the township. Gervais acted as a volunteer consultant to Eric Korhonen, the North Frontenac Fire Chief, while Korhonen prepared his Operational Review of the fire department recently.

“I don't feel this is proper,” Councilor Victor Hermer said.

“I recall when Eric was hired, Terry Gervais volunteered his services and I specifically asked at the time 'what will this cost the township?' and he said 'absolutely nothing.’”

“The reason I put this together was I really appreciate the effort he put into this,” Mayor Ron Higgins said. “This is not being solicited by him. It was lots of travel, off-hour time, more of an appreciation of the volunteer work.”
