Cottage on Buck Lake goes up in flames

We Buy & Sell Firearms! (613) 372-2662

4567 Road 38, Harrowsmith

by Jeff Green

urnt Point Lane on Buck Lake lived up to its name last Sunday afternoon, when a cottage went up in flames and was a total loss. South Frontenac Fire Crews from 5 stations rushed to the site after receiving the call at 2:45pm. They found “the cottage was fully involved and collapsing into itself” said Fire Chief Darcy Knott. The cottage was unoccupied at the time of the fire although people had been there that morning and the previous evening. Crews immediately began to focus on a brush fire that had developed as the result of the structure, and soon had split into two teams. One team worked on containing the 8 acre brush fire that had developed while the other team made sure that the cottage fire was fully out. Crews from stations 4-8 answered the call. The station 4 and 8 crews stood down rela-

tively quickly but the station 5,6, and 7 crews remained on the scene for several hours, not leaving until after 8pm. It was the first structure fire in the township since Chief Knott assumed leadership of the department on May 1 and he was impressed by the way the crews handled the situation. “The crews did a fantastic job and their commitment to the municipality and the fire department is very strong. It gave me a sense of pride and a little bit of peace to see how well everyone handled the fire,” he said, adding that the terrain made containing the brush fire a difficult task. Because the cottage was completely destroyed, Knott said that the there is no way to determine the cause of the fire. It has been listed as of undetermined cause and no further investigation will be undertaken.

OPP Officer opens up about PTSD

by Jeff Green

s part of the promotional campaign for third annual First Responders for PTSD fundraising golf tournament next month, a delegation came to Frontenac County Council on Wednesday morning (May 16). Frontenac Paramedic Services is helping to organise the event, and in addition to raising awareness the tournament raises money for K for Paws. K for Paws trains service dogs to help people dealing with various conditions, including autism, people with mobility issues, and people dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) The delegation included Elizabeth Bailey, founder and Executive Director of K for Paws, and Juliane Porritt, an OPP officer from the Napanee detachment. Porritt has a personal experience with PTSD that she had never spoken about in public before. Because the Frontenac News goes to press for the week on Tuesday night, before the county meeting takes place we made arrangements to talk to Officer Porritt over the phone on Tuesday night, giving her a chance to tell her story once before appearing in public. The following article is based on that interview. Juliane joined the OPP in 2010. She was 39, and had worked in social services for 19 years before joining the OPP. She also had a home life. With her partner she had had 5 children, two older children from her first marriage and three from his. Her social services background was very useful in her work with the Napanee detachment as police deal with many of the same issues as social workers face and she thrived with the department. She also volunteered for Northern Ontario placements in small fly in communities where the OPP and local nurses are the only first responders. She went up north for two week stints about twice a year. She has faced trauma throughout her 8 years on the force. "Over six years I had dealt with lots of incidents, car accidents, deaths, violence, I

have witnesses many horrific things with the OPP,” she said. But nothing had the impact on her that a single incident in April of 2016 did during one of her northern postings, while she was on the night shift “We received a call about a child who had been assaulted by a sniffer [glue or gas sniffer] but you learn quickly in policing that calls rarely turn out to be about what you expect them to be about.” This call also took an unexpected turn When she got to the location of the incident she heard a young child, a 6 or 7 year old, screaming. She found a boy who was wrapped in a blanket, and when they pulled off the blanket they could see that he had third degree burns on 40% of his body and there was strong smell of gasoline. He had been doused in gasoline and set on fire. They brought the boy to the nursing station and stayed with him for three hours until the ORNGE helicopter arrived to take the boy to

has made a recovery from his injuries. From a policing standpoint, the call had been a success, Juliane received a 23310 for it, which is a positive note on her file for an exemplary job under pressure. Aside from being a bit teary and not being able to get rid of the smell of gasoline, she thought she was fine, until she got home a few days later. The first thing that happened was she forgot to fill her own vehicle with gas and had to walk home, “which is something I had never done” she recalls. Then it all came apart. “On my first day back on shift, I was working on the 401, and I went to a gas station to fill my cruiser. As soon as I started to fill the tank I went into a complete panic attack. They sent me home right away.” It’s been about two years since then, time that included a long break from work, and a couple of two week stints in Toronto for intensive sessions at the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH) doing ‘wraparound’ therapy with s pyschologist, a psychiatrist and an occupational health therapist. That therapy, along with a lot of family support, help from the OPP, a dog named Thunder who was at one point the only reason she left the house because he needed to be walked, all made a difference. Julian has also had to learn to recognise and respond to specific stresses and deal with anger and fear, and it took trip after trip to the ghas station before she could do something as simple as fill up her car. All of these ups and downs have led her to the point where she is able to share her story. “This is something I will live with for the rest of my life, it won’t go away, that’s much I know,” she said. She also said that her journey with PTSD

has had some work benefits. “I think I am more empathetic to people with mental health issues. I realise you don’t always have control over your behaviour.” She also keeps volunteering to go up north twice a year, and on her own time she made contact with the boy who suffered the burns on that April day two years ago, and has visited him at his grandmothers house. One of her motivations for going public with her story is to help the public to understand that the public “does not need a scare factor when facing people with PTSD and other mental conditions. With treatment and support, we contribute just like everyone else,” she said, Her connection to K for Paws and the golf tournament came from a meeting Elizabeth Baily. That meeting led to Juliane offering to adopt and train a yellow lab, Scout, to be a service dog. Scout comes to work with her a couple of times a week and will stay with her until he is ready to be trained. “It costs $20,000 to train a service dog and they are provided to people who need them for free so K for Paws needs all the fundraised dollars they can get,” she said.

Fifth candidate in LFK election

ohn Macewen of Verona is running as an independent candidate for MPP in Lanark Frontenac Kingston (LFK) Macewen, is an issue-based candidate. He is running in order to bring public attention to, what he says, is a refusal by local building officials to enforce regulations. According to Macewan, enforcing regulations would eliminate the risk of radon contamination in homes throughout the riding. Macewen is also a vocal opponent of MPP Randy Hillier,

Mischief plea R

Court report by Jeff Green

events that took place on the day Mr. Day visited. The Crown asked Judge Griffin for a suspended sentence and an 18 month period of probation. The defence noted that they could have taken the case to trial because there were “triable issues” to the crown’s case but that Mr. Day wanted to deal with the matter with no further delay. The defence asked for a 12 month period of probation. Judge Griffin took the middle path and imposed a 15 month probationary period. He also ordered Mr. Day to remain, at all times, more than 100 metres

ichard Day pleaded guilty to a replacement charge of mischief after his original charge of committing an indecent act was withdrawn. The charge stemmed from an incident that took place in the Missisippi/Snow Road area. Day attended at a residence to discuss the repair of a generator. While he was there he made graphic suggestive comments towards one of the residents, a woman whose first name is Erica. A couple of the comments were read out in court by crown counsel as part of the account of the facts of the case. Before sentencing, Erica made a victim impact statement. She said that ever since the incident she has found it difficult to leave the house for fear Mr. Day may be watching. She said she is now taking antidepressants and unable to live the kind of life she came to the area to live. She traces the onset of her problems to the

away from the victim. Driving offences deferred. Robert Moody, charged with driving with blood alcohol over 80 mg/100ml of blood and impaired driving, will return on June 18. Paul Sullivan, facing an ‘over 80’ charge, will return on July 16. Dwight Vanalstine, who faces 5 driving related charges, including driving while disqualified and driving with open liquor in a vehicle, is seeking legal aide and will return on June 18. Randall Kirckwood, is facing an ‘over 80’ and an open

liquor charge. He will return on June 18. Other ongoing cases. Mallary Kehoe faces 9 charges including: theft of a vehicle, break and enter, possession of stolen property, failure to comply with court ordered conditions, failure to appear in court, and 4 counts of driving while under suspension. She will also appear on June 18. Gypsey Villas and Jessica Villas are both facing 2 counts of fraud over $5,000 and will also return on June 18.

‘Star’ for a day by Jeff Green

anark Frontenac Kingston NDP candidate Ramsey Hart received some unexpected media exposure last week when he was identified by Progressive Conservative Party Leader Doug Ford as an NDP star candidate and said that his candidacy demonstrates that the NDP is beholding to “downtown Toronto” leftists. Ford noted that Hart worked at Mining Watch Canada for six years before moving to Perth and taking on the Executive Director role at the Table, a community food program, and called him an “extremist environmentalist”. At Mining Watch, Hart wrote articles about the “Ring of Fire” mining project. The project has been taking longer to come to fruition than politicians, of all stripes, would like. In his articles, Hart posed questions about some of the financial assumptions within the project, which requires that a highway be built in order to bring the ore south from its location northwest of James Bay. Hart also wrote about indigenous and environmental issues related to the project. Although none of the delays the project has faced have been associated with Hart’s articles, Ford said that Hart’s nomination demonstrates that, if elected, the NDP cannot be trusted to move the project forward. “He spent his whole career, his whole career, trying to close down mines. Who does that? Who targets people working at the mines?” said Ford.

Council urged to support postal banking services by Craig Bakay

ostal banking would be one way of providing more services to rural postal areas, protecting rural postal outlets and providing banking outlets to communities who don’t have banks, Diane Mitchell, national campaign coordinator for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers told North Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last Friday in Plevna. “Banks are closing in rural municipalities,” she said. “We had banking at the Post Office until 1967.” In January of 2014, Canada Post began a program which planned for the removal of door-to-door mail deliver from all residential addresses across Canada, she said. “Between then and the 2015 federal election, 830,000 addresses lost home delivery,” she said.

She said that CUPW has received broad support for expanded services at postal outlets including postal banking, senior check-in service, electric charging station and internet services. “It has been noted that 29 per cent of Canadians would ‘probably or most definitely’ use a postal bank,” she said. “One hundred and eighty-three of 201 countries have financial services through a postal bank and 1 billion people hold a chequing account in a post office.”

She said CUPW is asking rural municipalities to send letters of support for postal banking to Minister Carla Qualtrough. She also drew Council’s attention to a report, The Way Forward, that was created by The Standing Committee on

Government Operations following hearings in 22 communities. While the 185 page report made 45 recommendations,

Mitchell noted four they’d like to see adopted: • Continue the moratorium on community mailbox conversions and develop a plan to reinstated door-to-door delivery for communities that were converted after Aug. 3 2015 • Canada Post review the impact on efficiency of delivery before implementing strategies such as local processing vs centralized processing • Canada Post examine ways to provide more services and Continued on page 3 meet service level commitments in all types of communities using its existing retail network • Canada Post explore location-specific opportunities for post offices to act as a July 27, 1943 - May 20, 2015 community hub and respond to the local needs of its surYour life was a blessing, rounding community.

Revisions to North Frontenac Zoning Bylaw N orth Frontenac’s updated Zoning Bylaw has gone to the solicitor for comments and a ‘final’ draft should be provided to Council June 15, planner Tracy Zander told Council at its regular meeting last Friday in Plevna. From there, a public open house is scheduled for July 13 and a statutory public meeting and passing of the bylaw is expected sometime in August. “We’ve been working with the feedback we received at the last open house,” she said. “We received 20 comments or so. “Next we’ll be focusing on revisions to general provisions and definitions. “I think we’ll bring you a document that’s very spe-

cial to your needs in North Frontenac.” Zander said hobby farms will be receiving a lot of attention, with the minimum lots size being reduced to five acres from 10. However, a new setback from water will be 150 metres instead of the current 30 metres. There will be new rules governing barn sizes and outbuildings. She said there has also been a lot of interest in keeping chickens. Another area of interest has been outdoor furnaces but Zander suggested that might be better served in a separate bylaw. They also plan to meet with logging companies to get their feedback. Residents are encouraged

Wildfire in CF C entral Frontenac Fire & Rescue (CFFR) called in Ministry Natural Resources water bombers and a helicopter fire crew to assist with a large wild fire May 14, 2018. At 1725hrs CFFR received a call from a resident reporting their power out and they could smell smoke in the area. CFFR located a large wild fire in a remote area between Mclean Road and Fox Road. Due to the size of the fire, remote location and the fire

threatening a large area of pine and cedar, CFFR requested assistance from MNRF. Due to the aggressive attack by CFFR Firefighters the fire was stopped before getting deep into the coniferous trees. The fire was declared under control at 2020hrs. CFFR returned to the scene this morning to extinguish remaining hot spots. The cause of the fire was due to a tree falling on power lines and igniting.

Continued from page 2 And on the PC twitter page, Hart was dubbed a “star” candidate.

When contacted, Hart seemed rather amused by the star candidate assertion, given that the riding is

not exactly an NDP stronghold. In the federal election two years ago, a popular candidate, Perth Mayor John Fenick, finished third with 14% of the vote in Lanark Frontenac Kingston. As to his connection with

here really isn’t much South Frontenac can control at Johnston's Point until contracts are signed, Township lawyer Tony Fleming told Council on Tuesday night in Sydenham. Fleming said that until a draft plan of condominium is signed (ie, a legal contract), the Township has no authority to enforce conditions. Once said draft plan is signed, the Township can then assure that conditions set out in the plan are fulfilled to its satisfaction before sending its comments to the County, who then assumes responsibility for approving the final plan. “So, in terms of enforcement, we’re in some kind of legal limbo,” said Coun. Alan Revill. “The Township has no authority to enter onto the property or the ability to enforce conditions that will ultimately be included in the condominium agreement or the site plan agreement right now,” Fleming said. “The developer must still comply with Species at Risk legisla-

As we get older, our senses of taste and smell decline. If this is a problem for you, try a small amount of strongly flavoured food at the beginning of a meal. This may stimulate the taste buds as well as the flow of saliva and could increase interest of the food to follow. Getting enough calcium in your diet is important for all ages. One food that may not be number one on your list is sardines. They are quite high in calcium supplying 370mg per ounce. When you eat sardines, you are actually eating the whole fish skeleton. By comparison, one cup of milk contains 250mg. They also have a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids which are good for the heart. Many people have trouble swallowing tablets and capsules. There are many ways to help. Here’s one of them. Place the tablet or capsule in your mouth with some water. Bend your head forward, looking at the floor. Allow the medication to float to the top of the water in the mouth then swallow. (Note: some tablets disintegrate quickly so you might taste some of the drug). Our skin ages in two ways. One is chronological aging which is an inherited tendency to age. The other is photo-aging or solar-induced aging which results from sun-exposure. You can’t do much about the first type but you can slow down the second type of aging with proper use of sunscreens, using proper clothing in the sun and avoiding sun activities between 11am and 4pm when sun is most intense.

Township vehicle tour a hit with young families

by Catherine Reynolds oop Sandhu is a police officer with a golden touch. Watching with a smile as hundreds of children pour into the South Frontenac Public Works Yard in Sydenham for a rare chance to peer inside sophisticated equipment, Const.. Sandhu talks with pride about the special event he helped create last year dubbed Touch the Truck. “It’s a combined effort between emergency services and the public works department,” explains Const. Sandhu, Media Relations Officer with South Frontenac OPP. “Representatives include the Frontenac paramedic and police services and South Frontenac Township Fire & Rescue and public works department; roughly 20 vehicles are on display.” Standing beside Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth on May 10, Const. Sandhu credits the event’s success to Segsworth and his team who expanded the activity to include a charity barbecue. “Everyone here is a volunteer, they’re on their own time,” says Segsworth proudly, gesturing to the men and women cooking food and manning township equipment. “We’re trying to put the public back into public works.” Watching as dozens of children and families touch a fire truck, ambulance, police vehicles, boat, ATV and construction equipment, Segsworth notes with a grin, “It’s fantastic.” Const. Sandhu echoes that sentiment. “It’s good for us to get introduced to the community and for the community to get to know us,” he explains. According to the men, an awareness campaign by emergency services was combined with a spring open house by the public works department two years ago. The end result was a popular evening in support of the United Way Success by Six Campaign. “It’s pretty cool how much they have here,” says Megan Leavitt as she watches her children play in the cab of a

Sandhu admits this special event will be one of his last acts as the detachment’s Media Relations Officer, a role he has held for the past four years and ends this June. “I’m going to miss all of the contacts I’ve made in the community,” he says fondly. “But it’s not like I’m going anywhere. I’m still with the detachment. I’m just in a different role.” Reflecting on his achievements over the past four years, Const.

Lemon pie, and maybe spirits, in Battersea

he night should have been dark and stormy, but it was neither. We had come, the six of us, to an ancient, reputedly haunted, definitely rambling stone structure that some say began its life as a fort. I arrived barely in time to sip my welcoming drink, before Jeff ushered us in to our assigned tables, though the noise level suggested that many of our fellow diners had been clustered around the bar for a while already, perhaps anxious about what might come to pass in the course of the evening. This had all started several weeks earlier, one morning when Cam and I had gone for breakfast at the Holiday Country Manor in Battersea We noticed that their coming events board listed the opportunity to “Dine with your Spirits”. Thinking that it sounded like a wine or perhaps Scotch tasting event, we asked. “That’s been sold out for ages, but we’re

planning to have one more before summer,” Jeff said. Then he explained that the evening included a three-course meal, and the presence of a local woman who is a medium, and who could bring some people messages from the spirits of departed friends or relatives. “I don’t know what to believe,’ said Jeff, “but some of the things she said were quite amazingly accurate according to the people she was bringing the messages to.” Jeff and Core have an ornate picture frame hanging on one bare stone wall. They don’t actually say it’s there to accommodate the hotel ghost when she chooses to appear, but neither do they deny it. And they know her name. ‘Charlotte’, I think they said. Once I had my fortune told by an old woman who grabbed my hand in a marketplace in Marrakesh, but it was altogether predictable: “Ooh, la, la! Amour, beaucoup d’amour!” She was laughing, but as if we were sharing the joke, as she snatched my money. I had never encountered a medium and was immedi-

ately curious, as were two other couples we spoke to. Cam insisted he would come along but only for a good meal. When everyone was seated, we saw that the only men in the room were the three at our table: all the rest were women. Everyone seemed a bit tense and very excited: the noise level was so high it was hard to hear the person beside you. While we were eating our salad, a young woman came in and introduced herself as Jeni Juranics from Elginburg, and briefly explained what a medium was and how she had come to understand that she was able to connect with spirits and bring messages from some of them to their living friends and relatives. This was different, she said, from a clairvoyant, who could see things as they happened in the past, future, or a distant place. She said she would be back, once we had finished our meal. After the salad we were served our choice of beef bourguignon, stuffed chicken or vegetarian (all superb), followed by lemon meringue pie — real lemon pie, made with fresh lemons. While we were finishing our pie, Jeni came

in, and the room hushed. She closed her eyes, then began tentatively to describe a person whose spirit was trying to reach her. Looking around, she asked if anyone knew who it might be. As her descriptions became more detailed, someone in the room would identify a person they recognized. One was an acquaintance, sending a message to his wife, neighbour of the person in the room. Slowly, as one left, others came into the medium’s mind. Always, there was a message, often bringing comfort or advice. Once, to the medium’s surprise and amusement, a cat contacted her former owner. Sometimes there was laughter, sometimes tears. The evening came to a close around nine; the medium looked exhausted. Only a few of

the thirty people in the room had received messages: no one at our table recognized any of the spirits that were described. However, as we stood around outside afterward, we all agreed that the evening had been interesting, and we were glad we had been there.

Book launch for author Shauna Mathison

ove You to the Moon is Shauna Mathison’s first book of poetry for children, and it reflects her exploration of the universal aspects of children that can be hidden when the differences between us become the focus. She has written 5 books, the first ones were in the junior fiction/fantasy genre, and after ths book of poetry she is working on her first adult novel. Her last two books, including Love You to the Moon, have been published by Pemmicon Press, a Metis press out of Winnipeg.

“Love you to the Moon is for an about children. It’s one long poem that is more impressionistic than anything else Shauna has written, looking into a diversity of family makeups and fosering acceptance of difference. It is illustrated by her as well. She will be holding a book launch at the Cardinal Cafe on Saturday, May 26 from 1-4pm, which will include a number of readings from her new work.

Kingston Area Seed System Initiative by Craig Bakay

“W

e’re on a mission and the word is spreading,” said Nancy Roantree of the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative (KASSI), who, along with fellow mission specialist Dianne Dowling, was at the opening of the Frontenac Farmers Market in Verona Saturday. Their ‘mission’ is essentially to collect seeds and share them through a local network. “We’re here to encourage people to consider seed saving,” said Dowling. “It’s a growing, self-sustaining movement.” To that end, they have a multi-facetted approach ranging from workshops, lectures and seminars, to an annual seed swap (Seedy Saturday in March, which has had to move to a larger venue every couple of years) to community gardens to having farmers grow plants specifically for seed.

“We have three local seed companies we’re involved with (Bear Root Gardens in Verona, The Mountain Grove Seed Company and Kitchen Table Seed House on Wolfe Island) but we’d like to have more,” Dowling said. “We’d like to encourage farmers to set aside some land to grow seeds for a small stipend.” “To me, clean, open-pollenated, nonpesticide, tastier plants that you can harvest is a worthwhile project,” said Roantree. The first Seedy Saturday was held on Wolfe Island in 2008. KASSI itself began in 2011as an incorporated not-for-profit but the original movement began in the 1960s as large corporations started taking over small regional seed companies. Often that meant that seeds that were naturally selected by our ancestors for more than12,000 years were being pat-

ented by corporations. KASSI estimates that 10 corporations control 67 per cent of global proprietary seed. And corporations generally conduct research (often by co-opting public institutions) that support their commercial interests, rather than the interests of the public. “By growing open-pollenated heirloom varieties and conserving their seed, we serve as responsible stewards of our seed heritage,” said Dowling. For more information or to become involved, visit their website at www.seedsgrowfood.org.

Dianne Dowling and Nancy Roantree were at the Frontenac Farmers Market opening to drum up support for the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative. The seeds they’re packaging up here are dwarf french marigolds.

Foster parents needed, especially for teens W

by Jeff Green

ver the weekend of May 12 and 13, the OPP, Frontenac Detachment received several complaints of Break and Enters that occurred to five (5) separate cottages on laneways around Thirty Island Lake which is located on the east side of Highway 38 south of Westport Road in South Frontenac Township. Sometime on May 11, culprit(s) entered sheds and cottages and stole several

A gift to the township

“The open house in Sydenham will be a low-key, drop in event. We’ll have lots of people there, including some foster families, to answer questions and pass on information and their own stories. We are only looking for a beginning with people who come out. There is no rush since we are looking to establish long term relationships with foster families,” she said. Steve Woodman, Executive Director of FACSFLA, said “opening a home and heart to a child or youth that [people] do not know is a big request. It isn’t for everyone. But some of the people hearing or reading about this would find their lives profoundly enriched by the experience of being a foster parent, of providing a stable loving environment for those who so desperately need it.” FACSLFA has developed a website for prospective foster families, which spells out the 5 steps to becoming a foster parent. The first step is to contact the agency, which can be done by calling Tarra at 613545-3227 ext. 5610 or to come out to the open house on May 29. Cathy Owen of Red Dragon Studio presents Mayor Ron Higgins with one of her watercolours, Open houses have been held in North Frontenac Bygone Days, “a gift to the Township to say thank you,” she said. Photo/Craig Napanee and Kingston, and this first one Bakay in Sydenham will also produce an opportunity for community members to visit the new FACSLFA office, which is being shared with the Maltby Centre (formerly Pathways for Children and Youth). “Many people who read about this will not be interested, or in the right circumstances to become a foster parent, but we are hoping that they might know someone who is and will pass the information along to them,” said John Suart.

hile the staff at FACSFLA (Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac Addington) have been working hard for many years to provide the kinds of resources and supports that families in crisis need in order to keep children in the family home wherever possible, the fall back plan of placement in a foster home remains an important option for about 200 children in Kingston, Frontenac Lennox and Addington. Establishing and maintaining Foster families is always a challenge. To meet that challenge FACSFLA is going to be holding a drop in event at their new Sydenham office on Tuesday May 29 from 7-9pm. The office is in the former medical centre at 2876 Campbell Road, across from the ambulance station. “Our catchment area is all of Kingston Frontenac and Lennox and Addington,” said John Suart of the FACSFLA communications department, “which is a large geographic area, the size of Prince Edward Island, so we need to reach out to the communities to try and build up as big and diverse a pool of potential foster families as we can to be able to serve the very specific needs of the children in our care. The number of children in foster care continues to decline, and the need for placement is greatest among the teenage population.” Becoming a Foster Parent is a major commitment, and Tarra Williamson, the foster family recruitment lead for the agency, stresses that the first step is for interested people to learn about what is involved in fostering.
