Film documents farming, fair history in Parham area Parham Fair turns another corner on 125th anniversary

by Craig Bakay (with a file from Jeff Green) ne of the more pleasant surprises at this year’s Parham Fair, its 125th edition, was tucked away into a back corner of The Palace. There, among the prize string beans, slices of pie and various craft goods, Wendy Parliament was premiering her documentary series On the Farm, Looking to the Past — Looking to the Future.

At 2 ½ hours plus, the 3-disk documentary covers a lot of history, not only of the Parham Fair, but of the Parham area, and farming in general, as told by several generations of farmers along Wagarville and Long Lake Roads (augmented by a short trip north of Hwy 7 to Conboy’s Maple Syrup).

Parliament lucked out a bit in that the Benn and the Goodfellow families had quite a number of home movies. That got her thinking . . .

“About two years ago, the Benns (Roy and Joanne) showed me some footage from the ’30s to the ’60s,” she said. “I was going to put in some titles for them but as we were talking, I realized — there’s a story there.”

The next thing you know, Parliament, her camera and her tripod were off on an adventure that included 25 interviews, 20 of which were on-camera.

“As I was talking to people, I realized that for many of the older generation, farming was very much a lifestyle choice,” she said. “Their kids ate good food and while they may not have had a lot of things, they had a good life.

“With the younger generations of farmers, it turns out it’s the same thing.

“They may have a little more environmental aspect to it, but they wanted to know what was in the food their children were eating

O

and again, there are things they may miss out on, but they have a good life.”

Parham’s own Shawn McCullough wrote the opening music for the documentary — a song called We Had Everything, and it kinda says it all.

“In just this one little area, you can get beef, lamb, pork, goat, rabbits and several kinds of poultry,” she said. “There are vegetables that literally will serve you all year round as well as wool, maple syrup, honey, lumber, and even goats for pets.

"And horses, lots of horses.”

The historical footage is quite captivating, and locals will probably recognize family, friends and ancestors (where else can you see footage of horseman Bill Lee as a 10year-old?). And the interviews contain both historical anecdotes as well as contemporary farming insight.

“Fred Lloyd told me about raising horses that people ate, and for dog food,” she said.

“I had no idea.”

On the Farm (DVD format) is available at the Parham General Store, $10, with proceeds going to the Fair Board.

As if to underline the theme of renewal in Parliament’s film, the fair itself flourished this year under a new board that came on in January. Although they faced the inevitable challenges, including a much diminished midway due to a mishap faced by Gable brothers, the midway provider, and threats of rain on Saturday, Fair Board Chair Sharon Shepherd said afterwards that the board and volunteers came out of the fair enthused and ready to start planning Parham Fair number 126 on August 18 and 19, 2018 “The rain held off on Saturday and the

Wendy Parliament presented her documentary series, On the Farm, Looking to the Past — Looking to the Future at the 125th annual Parham Fair. Photo/Craig Bakay children so enjoyed the old fashioned fair games, the animals, and the show by Magoo that the midway was not missed at all.

And the stands were full for the horse pull.

Attendance was up by over 50 over last year on Saturday, and the Demolition Derby drew over 500 adults on Sunday and was extremely well run by Mitch Cox. It was a

great fair this year,” she said.

The 125 year old fair is still embracing its past as it takes on its future.

Imagine the driverless demolition derby in 2046, when the fair will be run by the kids who were playing egg toss and winning the three legged race last Saturday.

Canoe and Kayaking Regatta Property owners press township on septic inspection Saturday’s event drew a huge crowd to The Point in Sydenham, and by all accounts was very successful, in spite of threatening skies and gusty winds. Hosted by the Sydenham Lake Canoe Club, this was the Ontario Under 15 Canoe and Kayaking championship meet.

I

f it were up to the majority of those who attended an open house on a proposed mandatory septic maintenance program for the township, the program would be instituted immediately and the timelines would be much tighter than the township is proposing.

It was more or less a case of preaching to the converted, as the panel at the front of the hall included Victor Heese, the chair of the committee proposing the new program, Chief Building Inspector Shawn Merriman, Eric Kohlsmith of the Rideau Mississippi septic office, and a rep from the Kingston Frontenac Health Unit inspection office. The meeting was moderated by Terry Kennedy, another member of the committee.

Audience members introduced themselves using Sharbot Lake Property Owner’s shorthand, saying the were from the “East Basin” or “West Basin”. The tenor of most of the comments was that the water quality in Sharbot Lake, the east basin in particular, is not acceptable. Water quality issues are complex and cannot be easily pinned on the outflow of nutrients from faulty septic systems, of which phosphorous is the major concern. However in comment after

comment, the argument was made that mitigating the impact of lakefront homes on the lake is something that can be done now.

One audience member, Bob Wilkinson, took a contrary view. He said that research shows the quality of water on lakes in Central Frontenac is very good, and that an onerous system requiring inspections and pump outs

Sharbot Lake Criminal Court

Judge frustrated with Crown’s office N

apanee based Judge Geoff Griffen likes to keep things moving along during his monthly visits to Sharbot Lake to preside of the Kingston Satellite court, and he takes care to treat the people who come before him with courtesy. He passes legal judgments, but refrains from moral ones. He also tends to be in good humour.

This Monday (August 21) he was out of sorts, however, frustrated when he was informed by Crown Counsel that she had not been provided with documentation for the seven cases that were in front of the court by the Crown’s office in Kingston because a new software system, newly in place, had not released the material to her. In order to carry out her duties, she had to use information that the police had available, but there were gaps.

“This is going to be a problem,” he said, and throughout the short morning’s proceedings he noted when the court was compromised by a lack of information.

First Appearances Christopher Leger, 52, is facing five counts of assault.

Leger was not present in the court, nor was his lawyer, John Norris. Norris had communicated with the court by email, however, saying that he has been engaged by Leger, and asked for a disclosure package to be sent to him. A bench warrant with discretion was issued and the matter deferred until September 18.

Man charged with theft of a flag.

“How are you today,” Judge Griffen asked Wayne Kimberley, 62, of Sharbot Lake when his name was called at Sharbot Lake Criminal Court on Monday (August 20) “Better than nothing, not a lot” Kimberley answered.

“The allegation is that you stole a flag, is that right” asked the Judge.

“Yes, theft under a dollar, one of those flags that were everywhere this summer. I have a dozen or so in my yard, but I don’t know what this is all about. I never stole one,” said Kimberley.

“It was a neighbour of yours that said you did. Marion Vanalstine.”

“I don’t know the name, but I know the house. They have two dogs. They chase me when I walk by the house,” Kimberley added.

“Sounds like an interesting situation,” said the judge. “So how can we deal with this.”

“I’d like to see the disclosure, so I will know if I have to hire a lawyer. I hope I don’t have to.”

“I don’t think you will. That makes sense that you are seeking disclosure. I think the crown is seeking disclosure as well. Hopefully we can get it to you by September 18th.”

The matter was adjourned until then.

Ongoing Jeremy Pershaw, 34, is charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle, operating a vehicle while disqualified, and two counts of failing to comply with court ordered conditions.

His lawyer, Mr. Howard, said that a pre-trial meeting with the crown will take place sometime in September. The matter was adjourned until October 16 on the expectation that it will be resolved on that day or a trial date set.

Alison Potter, 40, charged with production of an illegal substance, possession of an illegal substance, and un-authorised possession of a firearm, had her charges, which

have been before the court for a year, deferred once again until September 18.

“What’s going on with this case,” Judge Griffen asked.

He was told that there is a co-accused in the case, who’s charges were transferred to Kingston last fall. His case is expected to be resolved in early September, at which time the charges against Potter will likely be withdrawn.

John Texeira, 65, charged with theft under $5,000, also had his charges deferred until September on the expectation that they, too, will be withdrawn after an out of court resolution.

O.P.P remind public to lock vehicles S

ince 1 July 2017, officers of the Frontenac Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P) have responded to eight calls this summer involving thefts from unlocked motor vehicles, three motorcycle thefts, three All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) thefts and two incidents of

thefts of a motor vehicle.

The O.P.P. would like to remind the public by simply securing your vehicle and placing valuables out of sight you are making it far more difficult for criminals to steal that vehicle or its contents, whether at home, visiting friends and relatives, or

Septic inspection - continued from page 1 at a maximum of five year intervals on all property owners in the township, those on water, in hamlets, or on rural properties far from the water, will add an unnecessary burden.

“We should be sending a message to the world that we have clean water in our lakes and rivers, because we do, not talking about how bad the water is. That will only make the township less attractive,” he said. “I have the studies that show this, you can look at them”.

Wilkinson’s point was contrasted by a Sharbot Lake property owner who said

Land O’ Lakes Real Estate

that when he was asked by an acquaintance if it would be a good idea to buy a property on Sharbot Lake, “I had to say no, the water is not good.”

Ken Waller, the President of the Sharbot Lake Property Owners’ Association, pointed to the results reported by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority in their State of the Lake Environment Reports, the last of which was done in 2011.

It measured phosphorous levels near the surface and near the bottom of each of the basins of Sharbot Lake in 2001, 2006 and 2011.

“In the East basin, the reading near the surface was 6 [micrograms per litre] in 2001, 6.4 in 2006 and 12 in 2011. 15 is the safe level, and they tested the lake this

summer so we will see where we are at pretty soon.”

In their report, Mississppi Valley Conservations says that under 10 mcg/litre is considered an un-enriched lake, between 10 and 20 is a moderately enriched, and 20 or over is highly enriched.

The report also lists 9 measures waterfront property owners can take to mitigate phosphorous levels, one of them being pumping septic systems out every 3-5 years.

In a hand-out at the meeting, the proposed septic maintenance and assessment program was outlined.

The first phase of the program will involve licensing and training pumpers and haulers to do assessments on septic systems whenever they are engaged to pump out a system. Systems will be assessed as green (no

issues) yellow (some issues to be addressed) and red (system failed or failing and Health Unit to be notified).

The report said that engaging the pumper/haulers to do the assessments is the cheapest method because it can be done when pumpouts are already occurring and will add only $25 to $100 to the cost of a pump-out according to information gathered by the committee from septic contractors working in the township.

Phase two of the program will begin in five years. Homeowners who have not had an assessment done on their system by then, “will be contacted by the township and encouraged to have their tanks pumped and/or an assessment made. Failure to do so within a reasonable time will result in a mandatory inspection authorised under the Ontario Building Code Act.” It was the five-year delay that caused consternation among members of the audience.

“We have already been talking about this for five years. That would make ten years if it was passed today and you are no where near passing it, are you,” said one audience member.

Mayor Frances Smith, who was at the meeting as were most of the members of council, said that a proposal will come back to council from the committee, and if it is approved by a vote of council, then staff will get to work designing the program and they will bring back a bylaw for council to consider.

“Is that going to take years,” one person asked.

Shawn Merriman, the Chief Building Official, said that “if this is approved in principle, we will put the program together as quickly as possible. I don’t see it taking a year.”

The proposal, as it stands, makes no distinction between different types of properties.

Shawn Merriman said that while all the attention has been on waterfront properties, “properties within hamlets with undersized lots are as much of a concern as waterfront properties.”

5 years in, Ardoch Lake development still needs more work

by Jeff Green fter a Public Meeting last Saturday (August 19), Frontenac County Planner Joe Gallivan said that a proposal to create 24 waterfront and 6 land-bound lots on a 45-acre parcel of land on Ardoch Lake will need even more work before it is brought forward for approval by Frontenac County Council.

The meeting, which was conducted by the Frontenac County Planning Advisory Committee, was held at the Clar-Mill Hall in Plevna in front of 34 people, including the applicant as well as Ardoch and Malcolm Lake residents and Lake Association activists from throughout the township.

A public meeting was held in 2014 on a 35 lot proposal and when the applicants first came to North Frontenac Council in 2012 the applicants were proposing to create almost 50 waterfront lots on the lake.

Among the issues that are still to be resolved before the planning committee can complete its evaluation of the proposal and make a recommendation to Frontenac County Council, are the locations of the wells on some of the proposed lots. Malroz Engineering, which provides peer review

Gooderham history

M

y name is Bill Gooderham and I have been seeking an artifact (Verona Honour Roll) featuring names of Verona men who served in WWs I and II, which I am told once hung in the Legion in Verona where my grandfather Robert Gooderham was custodian and lived in an apartment above.

The Legion closed in 1980. The plaque/ scroll is featured on page 205, in the book "Portland My Home" by William Patterson which is available for sale at the South Frontenac Museum in Hartington. The scroll contains the names of my father and his 4 brothers thus my interest. have searched for this item since I became aware of it around 5 or 6 yrs ago. I recently received info that it was hanging in the museum but I visited recently and though the one there is impressive, it is not the one I am looking for.

I would like to see it joined by the Verona Honour Roll. I wonder if maybe one of your readers might have knowledge of it's whereabouts. I make no claim to it as there are many names of local folks contained on it. I would merely like to see and photograph it and possibly see it on display where other descendants may know of it's existence rather than have it languish in a basement or attic.

I would be appreciative of any efforts you could make in this quest.

SINCE 1970 services to Frontenac County, expressed concerns recently over a change in placement of some wells in the newest version of the plan.

“In our peer reviews we identified that wells should be hydraulically upgradient from the septic systems. The lot servicing plan provided at the time (attached) appeared to address this. The revised plan you provided appears to contradict this. We continue to recommend that septic systems be upgradient of the water supply wells. No rationale to seek an alternative has been put forward at this time,” said Jonathan Pyke from Malroz.

This information was shared with the applicant for response.

Perhaps more serious issues at play are the status of a Heron Rookery on the property where the vacant land condominium is proposed, which will need to be protected.

As well, the shoreline where the properties are located is very shallow, and includes some fish spawning beds that have been upgraded in recent years by members of the Maldcolm and Ardoch Lake Association (MALA).

After the meeting, Joe Gallivan said that he will be seeking further information from the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) on how to balance the proposed development with those environmental features.

Other issues that were brought up at the meeting by MALA was about how the potential impact on the lake from 30 new septic systems is calculated. They argue that each new property could be or become a permanent residence and the potential for year round use should be considered in all calculations, and not the “extended seasonal use” that is the basis for the evaluations that have been done thus far.

The Committee is made up of the Mayors from the four Frontenac Townships as well as three public appointees. Among the committee’s roles is to make recommendations to Frontenac County Council concerning land use planning proposals that come to council for approval.

The committee will meet on September 12, and the Ardoch Plan will not be on the agenda although the applicant, Global Land Consortium, may be appearing as a delegation. The meeting after that is set for November. Gallivan said that the committee may hold another Public Meeting on the Ardoch Plan sometime in 2018.

ing, the residents are not opposed to new lot development, but they envision “eight or nine lots” which is in keeping with the lot density on the rest of the lake, “not 30 lots”.

The Planning Advisory Committee of Frontenac County Council was only formed one year ago to conduct public meetings on all planning matters where the County has approval authority. These include Official Plans for the townships, and plans of subdivision and vacant land condominium – which can be extremely complicated when they are located on waterfront – which is common in Frontenac County.

There is a “hygiene theory” of immunity that says that allowing your kids to get dirty while playing outside when they are young will reduce the risk of allergies in the future. A study done in New Zealand added to this by suggesting that children who sucked their thumbs as youngsters also had less allergy problems as adolescents and adults.

Longevity is increased by having healthy relationships with spouse, parents and the adult siblings in your life.

Some people have one or two members of the family with whom they just don’t get along. It’s good for your health to try to discover why this is and to attempt to heal the relationships. It’s better for you and you may just find out that the other person is just as relieved as well.

The idea of using animals for testing new drugs is distasteful to many. The discovery of insulin back in the 1920s would not have been possible without the use of dogs as test subjects. However, new biomedical technology is being studied in the hope that animal testing eventually will be a thing of the past. They are developing the “organ on a chip” technology where cell cultures on a computer chip represent actual human organs and drug testing is done on the chips.

Certain classes of routinely-taken medications should not be stopped suddenly. Instead, doses should be tapered gradually to avoid any withdrawal symptoms or worsening of the medical problem being treated. Some drug classes include antidepressants, anti-psychotics, anti-seizure drugs, Parkinson’s drugs and benzodiazepine drugs (sedative/tranquilizers). Before changing your dose, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.

ARDEN • Congratulations are extended to Mike and Wendy Proctor’s girls for their successful 9th swim for Cancer. These young women, living in different parts of the country decided, early in the summer, that their traditional swim would continue. Great work girls!!

• With the 5th Annual Cloyne/Arden Senior ball tournament in the bag, plans are already being made for next year and a visit to Cloyne. These two teams are so well matched that no one should be surprised about the ending. All teams won and the tourney ended up in another tie. With the hosting team usually taking the lead regarding the wrap up dinner, it was decided this year, that a true pot luck dinner should replace the typical BBQ’s. With about 60 people munching down on lasagna, chicken wings, meat balls and tons of salad no one left the Arden Recreation Park hungry.

Thanks is extended to Gord Brown, coach for Arden, who, as usual, ha everything completely organized and under control and Mickie ,Beth and Barb for organizing the contributions to the dinner. A wonderful day was had by everyone.

• The Arden Glee Club was welcomed, again this year, at Hastings Manor in Belleville. Old standards and big band sounds are always the toe taping favourite.

• Harlowe Wesleyan Church enjoyed the special music ministry of John Reid who was assisted by John Sim, and Ken and Gloria McCumber. John, although recovering from cancer, felt led to come and share his message.

Also the Harlowe Church will be going on the move to Ivanho all-denominational Church camp starting August 25, so the church will be closed Aug. 27 and Sept. 3. It’s great when a church can go “on the road”, cruising around in God’s world and taking in church camps. Dave Johnston from around the Belleville area is the guest speaker (nightly at 7pm) and the public are all welcome.

• Henderson United is gearing up for another “yummy in the tummy” breakfast of pancakes, French toast (Henderson style), sausage, pure maple syrup, toppings, coffee, smiles, on Sat. September 2 from 8 to 11:30 and it’s all by donation. Your donation will help the little white church offer programs, weekly worship, mission, and also help to keep the church maintained as the windows (soon to be replaced with clear glass) and especially the sills are aging, while the heating bills are rising. In the horse and buggy days churches were located around the distance that a horse could travel to get the folks to church. That method now finds an abundance of United Churches many of which need extensive repairs. The Henderson United Church is so grateful for all who are stepping up to the plate to help out in their hour of need, honouring God and also the intentions of departed loved ones who built the church many years ago now.

We would encourage one and all to participate by entering a float in our parade; its not too late if you get to work on it as soon as you read this! This year’s theme is “Canada’s 150th Birthday” and prizes will be awarded! There is no entry fee and the parade participants meet at 10am and parade is all done by 11:30am; then you are free to enjoy all that the Maberly Fair has to offer! If you are interested in entering a float please contact Janet Conlin at janetconlin@hotmail.com and she will tell you where to meet. Hint – it will be on the north side of 7! If you don’t want to enter a float you can still participate by walking in the parade. You might consider dressing up like its 1867. In 1867 Maberly had doctors, shoemakers, millers, farmers. Women were mothers, wives, hat makers, gardeners, and of course there were lots of children. Or, you might want to dress like the First Nations did. Some Fair events: The Reeve of Tay Valley Township will be back to compete in the cake decorating contest.

The 4H calf show, light horse show, heavy horse pull, Lanark County Genealogical Society, are all back as well as the very popular zucchini races (not just for children; parents, and observers too!).

New, less confusing namefor Rural Frontenac Community Services

by Craig Bakay or many summers now, Northern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS) has invited the community to a barbecue at Oso Beach. It’s generally been a relaxed affair, designed to foster community spirit and spend an enjoyable afternoon featuring some local entertainment. It draws a crowd every year, and this year was no exception, as over 300 parents and senior’s lined up for a chicken and fresh corn dinner from Cota’s Mobile catering while kids played games and ate watermelon that was being offered up by NFCS staff.

This year’s affair had a little twist — NFCS is now RFCS, Rural Frontenac Community Services. And

F

they chose the barbecue to unveil a banner and introduce the new name to the public.

“Northern Frontenac Community Services will continue to be our legal name but our new operating name will be Rural Frontenac Community Services,” said Louise Moody, executive director.

“For the last 12 months, we have been considering how we could increase awareness of the range of services and programs we presently offer across Frontenac County.

“We also wanted to establish stronger connections with the families who use our children and youth programs in South Frontenac and residents throughout the County who volunteer or use our

Frontenac Transportation Services.”

She said that during their consultation process about the name, three themes emerged.

“These are: we are community — unified, welcoming and friendly; we are connected — offering a wide range of services and understanding what services are available in our community; and we are collaborative — partnering with other agencies to broaden and strengthen services offered and networking to create a web of support for all individuals.”

She said consultations wrapped up in the spring and the new website, www. rfcs.ca and signage will be ready for September.

Rural Frontenac Communi-

ty Services (formerly North, then Northern Frontenac Community Services) unveiled their new name at the annual community barbecue last week .

Theatre camp performs original musical at RFCS annual barbecue

by Craig Bakay or the first time ever, and as a Canada 150 project, North Frontenac Little Theatre held a theatre camp this summer. All they really needed was a place to perform.

ed the musical accompaniment on guitar. “A lot of kids love hamming it up.”

Robertson does too and he’s hoping they can continue on with future theatre camps.

“I was completely delighted with the community support and the support of RFCs and this event,” he said. “I was proud that NFLT was able to participate and we have the Tichborne Hall which proved an excellent venue for the camp.

“I would like to see the partnerships and the camp continue.”

And of course Robertson is quite willing to be a big part of it.

“I’ve dedicated my life to teaching children and the best part of that has been plays,” he said. “I love doing what I do and the best part is seeing the shy, nervous ones coming out of their shells.”

Thirteen students participated in two weeks of threehour afternoons as part of the theatre camp, Robertson said.

And of course, once you’ve done all that rehearsing, you want a place to perform.

“So, I ‘borrowed’ a number of different stories floating around and localized them,” Robertson said.

The result was Way Back in Oso Township (& Kennebec), which ostensibly tells a tale of pioneer life in the area. (The scenes featuring the Oso-Kennebec Township Committee for Proper Action and Civilization, while quite entertaining, had an eerily familiar ring to them.)

And the kids performing certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.

his summer Arden lost a wonderful man who touched the lives of many in our community. Clarke was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to all who came in contact with him. He was the Chief Building Inspector in Kennebec for many years issuing building permits where required and doing some of the actual building himself. Who better qualified? He also held the post as Councillor for a term as well.

A fisherman and avid moose and deer hunter he was secretary treasurer of the Frontenac and Addington Trappers Council, for a number of years, and remained a lifelong staunch supporter of the organization. The Trappers Council was only one of the organizations which had the privilege of his knowledge and support.

He avidly got involved with the Bursary Foundation at the Council, helped organize the Big Gull Lake Fishing Derby, the Pine Meadows Golf Tournament, the Fur Harvester’s Convention, in North Bay, and helped host the Ontario Fur Management Convention in 2013. He also helped map out many of the trails used for ATV Poker runs.

So we all think “I knew him well”, but did you really. Who would have thought that one individual that you crossed paths with, occasionally, added so much to your life here, in Arden.

Now you know the person who you can thank for all of those information meetings, pamphlets filled with valuable tricks of the trade, conventions with guest speakers, fun days at the golf course, and afternoons at your favourite lake.

Good bye Clarke, and thanks for everything you did for all. You sure will be missed.

Visit Cloyne Museum, Benny’s Pond, and the new Park

O

n Saturday, August 26, everyone is invited to explore in Cloyne – Ponds, Pioneer Days and Parks. The Friends of the Salmon River will host an afternoon event of interest to lovers of nature and history. Have a tour of Benny’s Pond and learn how it is part of the Salmon River watershed. Enjoy tours of the Cloyne Pioneer Museum and the new Benny’s Lake Park.

At 1pm, local Glen Pearce will lead the pack to Benny’s Pond behind the museum. He will explain the formation of the string of little lakes/ ponds that are all in the line of flow from the headwaters and connect to Beaver Creek, Kennebec Lake and hence to the main channel of the Salmon. Glen Pearce was part of the field crew who mapped these waters.

The headwaters are the birthplace and most essential part of any watershed, and these ponds are in the forefront of those headwaters, providing healthy eco-services for the entire Salmon system.

Benny’s Lake Heritage Park – just opened – is a collaborative project to restore the area where a grove of 200-year-old white pines was destroyed by a major wind storm. Many new pine trees were planted to breathe new life into the park.

The Cloyne Pioneer Museum & Archives reflect the history of this area with emphasis on such themes as settlement and pioneer life, mining, logging and tourism. Their staff will provide a tour and gladly answer all your questions.

Refreshments will be served and this will be an opportunity for folks to connect and find out more about the Friends of the Salmon River group.

Come for a day of nature and history; it’s a free event. On August 26, meet at the Cloyne Museum (14235 Hwy. 41 in Cloyne) at 1pm and stay til 3 or 4pm. Bring your friends to

Anniversary

the “Friends of Salmon” gathering and learn more about the top of our beautiful watershed.

A Canadian Pacific Railway sign was stolen last week from Railway Heritage Park in Sharbot Lake. The enameled steel sign in the shape of a shield and beaver, approximately one foot wide, was attached above the door of the storage shed belonging to the Central Frontenac Railway Heritage Society.

The person responsible for the theft would have had to climb a ladder and remove several screws.

The sign was noticed missing on Saturday, August 12, but exactly when it was taken is not known. Its location had been mentioned on the "Kick & Push Sharbot Lake" Facebook page on Friday, August 11, and there is some speculation that this led to the theft.

The shields were originally used in the 1940s and 50s on the cabs of the CPR's large steam locomotives and in passenger cars.

This example was donated to the CFRHS in 2001, through the efforts of Russ Hoas who was the CPR's Road Manager in Smiths Falls at the time. It was mounted on the shed near the caboose museum in Railway Heritage Park in 2009, and is one of many rare and valuable railway artifacts being preserved by the CFRHS for public enjoyment and education. A similar sign was sold to a private collector in an online auction recently for $1400.

by Jeff Green utternut trees have been on the endangered species list in Ontario ever since the Endangered Species Act was enacted in 2008 and the list was created. Butternut’s are a medium sized deciduous tree that thrives in full sun. They can be found the limestone substrate regions of Frontenac and Lennox and Addington, and particularly in the borderline areas where the Limestone meets the Canadian Shield, roughly north of Tamworth and Verona and south of Hwy. 7.

They have been hit by a canker, and the population throughout the US and Canada have been devastated. A Butternut recovery program, which has been mainly volunteer driven, has been responsible for planting seeds of trees that have shown resistance to the canker in order to re-establish a population of healthy trees as infected trees die off.

Even with the canker damaging trees, many trees in the local region have been able to survive, although not thriving, for a number of years.

Doug Lee, currently of Enterprise, has been a fan of the Butternut for a quarter of a century, ever since the canker first began to have an impact on trees in Ontario. It was identified in the United States decades earlier but did not venture north until later.

He has identified Butternuts throughout the Verona-Godfrey-Tamworth region over the years and regularly checks on the progress of the trees, paying particular attention to trees that appear to have few or no symptoms of canker infestation.

At the end of the summer, he visits different locations where he has seen Butternuts over the years to see how they are doing and to find out if they have put out any seed this year, in the form of Butternuts.

“I’ve never seen this many butternuts in one year in the 25 years I’ve been collecting them,” he said earlier this week. I have collected about 3,000 butternuts over the last week, including 195 pounds of nuts off one tree, over 2,000 butternuts,” he said, in a telephone interview on Tuesday.

To put this year’s haul in context, back in 2010, working with the Butternut recovery program, the News did a story with Doug

Lee. At a property in South Frontenac, about 200 butternuts, one and a half buckets full, were collected and it was considered a very good haul.

While Lee is preparing all of the Butternuts he has harvested for planting, most of them are not viable for the Butternut recovery program, which only collects seed from trees that are considered canker free.

“I think there are about 3 or 4 trees that I have seen this year that are of that calibre,” said Lee. He will be reporting those to the recovery program for them to evaluate later in the fall.

Meanwhile he still intends to plant all the seed that he has collected, and is making them available for others who would like to

Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and transfer ownership of a Township-owned road allowance as follows: Location: Part of Lot 18, between Concessions II and III, District of Bedford Reason: The subject portion of road allowance is in two separate parts that, together, constitute only 1,325 feet2. A very unusual property configuration was created in 1968 through a series of land transfers and a Township road allowance ran through the property. Part of the road allowance was closed and transferred by bylaw in 1996 but the by-law did not close two small pieces that still protrude into the subject property. The new proposed road closure and transfer would rectify this. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on September 5, 2017 at 7:00 pm.

Procter sisters swim Sharbot Lake for a ninth consecutive year

by Craig Bakay or the ninth consecutive year, the Procter sisters, Theresa, Becki and Katie (Ansley) braved the waters of Sharbot Lake to raise funds for the fight against cancer last Saturday morning.

As always, they began at the docks in Sharbot Lake Provincial Park and swam the 3 kilometres to Oso Beach, this year in just about one hour and 35 minutes.

“It was rough this year, except between the islands, but we made good time, about average for us,” said Theresa. “This was a bit of a different year for us because Uncle Keith just passed away from cancer.

F

“That was more motivation.”

“It was quite a shock jumping in,” said Katie, who was a bit under the weather earlier that morning but trooped on nonetheless. “But once we got in we never thought about it again.”

Abbie, Katie’s daughter jumped in and joined them for the part between the islands where the water was calmer.

“The weather was threatening but luckily it held off long enough for us to get it in,” said Theresa. “The rain held off but there weren’t many boats on the lake and not much wildlife except for a few seagulls.”

The total raised this year was about $1,500 when they jumped in with another $200 at least yet to come. In the nine years, the girls have raised more than $13,500.

“This was one of our best years yet,” said Theresa.

You can still donate at convio.cancer.ca.

The girls plan to continue next year, especially because sister Katie is moving back home to Ontario.

“Next year is the big one, 10 years,” she said. “Maybe we’ll mix things up a bit.

“Maybe we’ll make it extra hard like by wearing clothes.”

“I don’t think so,” said Theresa.

Filling in for the Mayor, Coun. Sherry Whan welcomed the Procter sisters to Oso Beach following their annual swim to raise funds for cancer research.

COFA fishing day with local kids teaches angling skills C

onservationists of Frontenac and Addington in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, introduced children to fishing last week.

August 16th was an ideal day for being in beautiful places and learning to appreciate our natural surroundings.

Each August some children are selected who do not have the opportunity to get out fishing. We had three wonderful kids this year. Thanks to Ed Yanch for organizing and transporting them.

Each child was presented with a fishing rod, reel and some tackle by COFA. After learning the basics of using their new fishing equipment they were taken out on the lake by Steve Lawrence and Barry Wilson of the MNRF and Fred Perry of COFA. These are experienced anglers who enjoy this opportunity to pass on their love of fishing and skills to some new youngsters each year.

Fred, Barry and Steve did a great job of getting Zack, Austin and Josh over fish and helping them learn how to

successfully catch and land them. Many fish were released and some were kept for lunch. The kids were very proud of their accomplishments
