ire Chief/Manager of Emergency Services Greg Robinson presented his Phase Two Organizational and Operational Review, a lengthy document containing 142 “gaps” or problems with the Central Frontenac Fire Department at Council’s regular meeting Tuesday in Mountain Grove. Given the length of the documents, there wasn’t a lot of discussion but Robinson suggested that it was being presented now to give Council a chance to read it before a discussion scheduled for the June 26 Council meeting and several other presentations from the review over the next three months. “Any fire chief that would give me this much reading before a long weekend . . . I don’t know,” said Coun. Bill MacDonald. “With documents of this magnitude, I think it’s important that we take our time and ask the right questions,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “I spent a few hours on this and many points caught my eye,” said Coun. John Purdon. “One of which is we were told we’d have a Fire Master Plan in April.” Robinson responded that it wouldn’t be possible to have a master plan until many of the gaps had been dealt with. Robinson’s report advocates many changes, some of which are already underway and

the report also acknowledges there will be (is) reluctance to change in certain changes. “The phase one and two reports demonstrate the need for numerous operational changes and significant organizational changes,” the report said. “Firefighters have deeply entrenched cultures and are very reluctant to change. “Still having amalgamation issues within CFFR exasperates this unwillingness to change.” The full report is available on the Central Frontenac website under the agenda for the May 22 Council meeting. Procurement bylaw Council passed a new procurement policy bylaw Tuesday. The previous bylaw was passed in 2004 and amended slightly in 2010. Treasurer Michael McGovern said there was “some verbiage” changed such as “pecuniary interest” to conflict of interest” because it covered more ground. However, he said the biggest change was to raise the request for tender threshold to $50,000 from the current $20,000. “We will actually save money with this because since it takes about four hours to process each tender, we incur costs,” he said.

The storied history of the Kaladar hotel

by Craig Bakay

he history of the Kaladar Hotel is still very much a work in progress, but the Cloyne and District Historical Society has being doing a lot of work and shared what they’ve learned last Monday at the Barrie Hall. “What information I have I got by reading and talking to people,” said Eileen Flieler, who presented the seminar along with John Bolton (a former owner of the Northbrook Hotel).

Flieler invited the audience to share whatever information they may have during the presentation. Flieler admitted that “we’re not sure on some of the information, especially in the middle” but in the absence of hard data, the anecdotal information was nevertheless quite interesting. Here’s some things we’re pretty sure of.

n 50 years (ie Canada’s 200th birthday), people will be gathering at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith to dig up a stainless steel treasure trove that will give them a snapshot of what life was like here in 2017/18. Mayor Ron Vandewal, along with members of Council, other dignitaries and a group of school kids gathered last Friday to bury a Canada 150 project — a Time Capsule containing all sorts of things that will tell residents 50 years from now a story about how things were five decades ago. “This is an exciting day,” said Vandewal, with shovel in hand. “I’m so glad my grandchildren are here.” Along with copies of newspapers and various documents relating to municipal government and organizations in existence now, Vandewal said he felt obligated to include his own tax bill. “I’m sure they’re going to say ‘holy . . ., that’s all they paid in taxes?’” he said. And if any of the future folks wonder if said tax bill was paid, Vandewal had an answer for them. “Not yet,” he said. There are also plenty of photographs and letters to future family members.

Libertarian candidate Stephen Gebhardt

tephen Gebhardt is a blue-green Libertarian. He lives the lifestyle any Green Party member would envy in a rural off-grid house on 100 acres south of Arden with his wife and two children. They make their own power with wind turbines and solar panels, and get their own wood to heat the house off of the rural property. But Gebhardt also works in resource extraction as an airborne geophysicist, spending two months at a time flying over landscapes around the world, conducting research for private and public sector interests. And he was a long time Conservative party supporter until becoming disillusioned after the fiscal collapse of 2008. He has drifted over to the Ontario Libertarian party, which is for the most part web-based. “The party fits the way I think about things very well, and with 117 candidates out of 124 ridings, we are doing well to put our-

Gebhardt will be participating in the all candidates night in Sydenham on Monday night (see notice on page 1) and will be profiled in the Frontenac News election primer in next week’s paper. He has attracted some attention as an off-grid libertarian, so much so that CBC Ottawa is coming out to the Gebhardt homestead to interview him.

“I’m hoping my grandchildren will be there to help dig it up,” he said. “This is all for future generations. “I’d like to say thank you to the volunteers who worked on this, the staff members and sponsors.” The sponsors were D. Martin Welding who contributed the capsule itself and Campbell Monument Company who contributed the granite plaque. Amanda Pantry was the staff member who oversaw the project, collecting things to put into the capsule and making sure everything got done. She agreed it was an “exciting day” but confessed that it really hadn’t sunk in for her yet. “The legacy of this? I haven’t really had time to think about that yet because my focus was on getting it in the ground,” she said. And while a lot of the content in the capsule hasn’t been revealed (a common practice with such things), Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth’s contribution is public knowledge and will likely get a chuckle from future generations. Segsworth’s contribution? South Frontenac garbage bag tags.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Where is Ontario headed?

e have known about the June 7, 2018 voting date for four long years, and for at least two it has been the date everyone expects that the long reign of the Ontario Liberals will come to a quiet end. Just like Stephen Harper before her, on June 7 Kathleen Wynne will make a short speech thanking the few supporters who have stuck with her to the bitter end, congratulate the few Liberals who will have retained their seats, and will exit the political stage forever. Hopefully, for her sake, she will lose her own seat, saving her the necessity of hanging around for a few months before quietly resigning as an MPP. But, as a province, where do we go from there. With all due respect to Conservative Leader Doug Ford, the party is clearly not ready to govern. All of the members of the caucus and most of the other candidates signed a pledge back in December to accomplish much of Patrick Brown’s centrist progressive agenda before the next election in 2022. Remember that

odd bit of theatre. Brown is now long gone as is the pledge, much to the relief of almost all of the Conservative caucus, but many of his hand-picked candidates remain. After Brown was ousted, most of the caucus rallied around Christine Elliot, who may have been able to present a clear proposition to the Ontario electorate on June 7. But, of course, she lost the leadership contest to Doug Ford. He inherited a caucus that supports Elliot’s mainstream conservatism, a set of leftish Brown supporting candidates, and a few new candidates that support his own brand of populism. Will Ford manage to impose his own agenda on his party should they win, or will the party insiders gain control. If so, will the ghost of Patrick Brown hold sway, or the Elliot-ites? Conservative supporters may deny this, but we all know that the Conservative Party is counting on riding the ant-Liberal wave to power, hoping to put a cohesive program together afterwards. What those policies are, and how they will be implemented, is anyone’s guess.

The only alternative to a Conservative majority, would result from a massive shift of Liberal support to the NDP, who had been languishing in third place until only a couple of weeks ago. As swing voters worry about the prospect of a Doug Ford led government, and many Liberal party supporters in swing ridings have decided that the ABF (anyone but Ford) idea is a good one, there has been a shift to the NDP. The NDP are running on a pretty centrist agenda. They promise business as usual with a bit more pain for corporations in terms of taxes and regulations, and bit more support for the 2 million Ontarians living in poverty. The appeal has gained strength over the last week, but a revelation that their platform contained a mathematical error has not helped. Seven hundred million dollars was sitting in the income column instead of the expenditure column, resulting in a $1.4 billion increase in the projected deficit in year 1 of their regime. The Liberal Party has pounced on this, as you would expect, although the fact that

the auditor has trashed their own actual accounting of the province finances makes it seem pretty much like the pot calling the kettle black. The Conservatives have not, or had not as of Tuesday morning, said anything about the NDP error. They have had some of their own scandals to deal with, and perhaps they are a bit un-willing to criticize another party’s platform until they have one of their own. Think about that. As I said above, we have fixed election dates in Ontario. Everyone has known about June 7, 2018 for four years. There have been 1,500 days to prepare for this election Nonetheless 14 days before the vote, the party with the best chance of forming a majority, (an 85% chance according to CBC poll tracker Eric Grenier, down from 95% a few days ago) is so broken that it does not have even a tentative platform to show us. In addition, their leader has never governed at any political level and will have only the grudging support of his caucus should he be elected. Yikes.

Limestone Student Achiever awards (information provided by the Limestone District School Board) t the May board meeting of the Limestone District School Board student achiever awards were handed out, and there were winners representing each of the three secondary schools in our region; Cassandra Parks from NAEC in Cloyne, Cameron Jackson from GREC in Sharbot Lake and Samantha Kempe from Sydenham High School.

The award for Cassandra Parks we made in

recognition of her “academic successes, her athletic prowess and her farreaching leadership” in the words of the testimonial prepared by the staff at North Addington Education Centre. A member of many sports teams, volleyball being her strongest, as volunteer for school events, a hockey player, and the top overall ranking in her grade every year since grade 9 are some of the accomplishments that led to her

selection for the award. In summing their submission up, NAEC staff called Cassandra “a leader of sound character and integrity and provides a wonderful example to others.” Cam Jackson also plays on all of the sports teams at GREC and this year he has transitioned into an assistant coaching role for the junior girl’s volleyball team. In academics, he is the math and science whiz at the school. He has been

at the top of his class in those subjects since grade 9. His abilities in math and science are paired with patience, which is useful in his role as peer tutor. “In the community, Cam has deservedly earned the reputation of an upstanding, hard working, ethical young man by being involved with numerous organisations, from the local church, to athletic organisations, to community fundraising events” is how GREC staff summed up his contributions to the school and the community. Samantha Kempe has been involved in volleyball and track at SHS, and is a solid student. Her award recognises her many contributions to school life, as the co-President of the Student Council this year she has been instrumental in organising many events, including a cancer fundraiser (Inside Ride), Spirit Week, Grade 8 and

9 Days, and the school’s holiday charity event. In the community she has been involved as Relay for Life team leader, a camp director and a member if the Red Cross antibullying group. She also helps with Canada Day at

the Point in Sydenham. Although she is generally friendly and easy going, it would be best not to get on her bad side. This year she is a Shotokan Karate practitioner, earning her black belt last year.

Bioblitz at Wintergreen T

his year marks the 4th annual BioBlitz at Wintergreen Studios on Canoe Lake Road. It is free to the public, thanks to the funding from TD Friends of the Environment and the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport. The very first BioBlitzes were held to measure the biodiversity of a site, which gave insight into the health and productivity of an ecosystem. Today many BioBlitzes include nature-themed programs such as ID workshops, guided hikes, and family-friendly activities to teach and excite the public about biodiversity. A combination of scientific survey and environmental education make for a fun, enriching outdoor experience. The Wintergreen BioBlitz will be held over five days,

Kaladar Hotel -continued from page 1 The hotel, at the corner of highways 7 and 41 was finally torn down last month. The original owners were John Lewis, who was born in 1864 and his wife Harriott Woodcock who was born in 1863. Flieler said there are suggestions that the first Kaladar Hotel was actually located south of Highway 7. The story is that that building burned down and was re-built north of the railway tracks up the hill on 41 across from Tryons’ boarding house. There was a store on the hotel property as well. In 1934, owner Robert White decided to move the hotel down the hill to the corner of Highway 7 — literally. The building was put on rollers and horses plus a Model-T Ford acted as brakes going down the steep incline. The move took four days. After telling a story about a WW II Jeep being driven up the front steps on a bet, copresenter Bolton gave a list of people who are believed to have owned the hotel at one time including Walt Vilneff and his wife, former Chicago Black Hawks player Glen Brightson and his father, brothers Nelson and Cliff Murphy6, Ellett Morris, Bill Brown and then Leo Trickey and family. Then comes the last (private) owner, Andy

Stewart will also be creating land art installations made from natural materials, to be left on-site for all to admire and eventually returning back to the earth. “What makes this BioBlitz unique is that it’s way more than just species identification,” says Leah Mighton, BioBlitz Program Coordinator. “What comes from the earth will return to it and the Wintergreen Studios BioBlitz is a kind reminder to be mindful and appreciate

the natural world around us.“ “There are serious environmental challenges facing our world, and loss of biodiversity is just one of them,” says Monica Capovilla, BioBlitz Program Director. “We marvel at iconic species in other parts of the world, yet many of us are much less familiar with the sheer magnitude of diversity of living things that share our common spaces and the habitats that support them. BioBlitzes are designed to motivate people to consider environmentally respectful practices. Every small step matters and taking the time to educate the next generation of naturalists and scientists is how change can take place down the line.” Come for an hour, for a day, or for the en-

Anderson, bought the place from the Trickeys in 1989. Anderson sold the property to the Ministry of Transport in 2009. “I was sad to see it gone,” said Anderson. “The deal is not quite finished but it did help my pocket book.” Anderson had a ton of stories about the place including Terry Fox stopping in during his famous run and the hotel being mentioned in a Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro story (for the record, the story is the 2004 short story Passion and the line is “They stopped, finally, in Kaladar and went into the hotel — the old hotel that’s still there.”) Anderson talked about how the hotel evolved during his time. “There were only seven bedrooms and the family used two of them,” he said. “And one of the remaining five was only 5 ½’ x 11’. “But we were never full anyways. We

mostly rented to stranded people or those picked up for impaired driving.” Anderson said they essentially closed the bar in 1991, focusing mainly on being a restaurant. He said he was most proud of being able to donate more than $22,000 to charity, most of that to Pine Meadows. But it seemed from the questions the audi-

ence asked that one aspect of Anderson’s tenure most apt to be remembered is the money map. “It was just a 4x8 sheet of plywood with a world map on it,” he said. “We pinned up money from guests from around the world including Madagascar and Fiji.” That map is now part of the museum/archives permanent display.

DIGICEUTICALS: This word is a short form for “digital therapeutic”. At the beginning of this year, I started subscribing to The Economist, a weekly magazine that covers the world of current events. This topic was in a February 2018 edition. There are over 150 companies worldwide working on apps of this type and the FDA in the U.S. is very encouraging in trying to get them into the U.S. market. There is a realization that these applications have the potential to improving health and reduce the costs of healthcare. The diabetes app is called BlueStar but I couldn’t find it yet on my phone. There is another called Pears RESET app which treats disorders involving the misuse of alcohol. This is supposed to be on the market soon. One other app that is getting a lot of interest is one to treat ADHD, purporting to improve attention and inhibitory control in children. I’m sure there will be hundreds of these apps hitting the market in the next few years and I’m sure I’ll read about it in The Economist. Now if I only can make time to read it every week. It’s a lot of reading! Anesthesiologists will agree it is easier to work with non-smokers than smokers. Smokers by nature have compromised respiratory function both before and after anesthesia. If people don’t quit prior to surgery, there will increase anaesthetic risks as well as risks of complications during surgery and recovery. This is good information for pharmacists to pass on to their smoking patients and may just be the motivation they need to quit. Health Canada also keeps a publicly-accessible database on all reported adverse drug reactions. It’s available on the Health Canada website. It has information from January 1, 1965 to September 30, 2017. A few years ago, there used to be a small gadget that fit over the eye. It had a small hole in it where you put the eye dropper tip. It positioned the dropper right in the centre of the eye and it seemed that it might work more easily. Haven’t seen them around for while so not sure if they are still made.

roviding an improved boat launch access to Desert Lake is definitely on the radar, but it won’t be done this year, said South Frontenac Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth. Referring to a public information session held May 14 at The Waterway Inn, Segsworth said they presented a bridge design “to make navigation possible from Holleford Lake to Desert Lake” but the feedback they received from the 20 or so people in attendance made a lot of sense. “There were lots of suggestions,” Segsworth said. “It was good, lots of interest. “(The boat launch) is well used and the only public access to Desert Lake and it’s something we have to look at.” Coun. John McDougall, who was also at the meeting, agreed. “I was somewhat surprised (at the amount

But docking improvements will take some time. “We have 75 lakes in South Frontenac,” he said. “And we don’t have enough in the budget this year to address everyone’s requirements. “But this could be a good multi-year project.”

John A. McEwen: Why I Want To Run for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP

Public Health Ontario concedes 1090 to 1550 Ontario residents, mostly under 25, will die from lung cancer caused by radon. Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps into basements in exactly the same way water does, under hydrostatic pressure. The strict and universally held definition is: force applied to a surface area by a fluid. Ontario has the strictest radon control laws in the world, but Municipalities are in charge of Enforcement and are the “Authority”. Municipalities have chosen not to enforce these laws; as is their right. Some how I'm the guy who got saddled with straightening things out. Nobody wants a quest, but surly no one wants to see anyone under 25 get lung cancer. You really don't have to over-think this. If the gas cannot get into the basement, then the gas cannot get into a child's lungs. Scientists at the National Research Council figured this out and made below-grade impermeable membranes part of the National Code. Ontario adopted these laws, and through a funny twist municipal by-law enforcement Officers became Chief Building Officials. And CBO(s) choose not to require impermeable membranes: “The Ministry has agreed that this strict and draconian interpretation of the code can be made by the City, but this is not meant to mean that we must do so”. And did not. No one did. That “City” and every other municipality in Ontario have chosen not to enforce requirements of the Act designed specifically to stop the soil-gas radon.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY 2018 RESIDENTS OF CENTRAL FRONTENAC Accepted Waste Materials From the House: • Arts and crafts supplies • Metal Polish • Drain opener • Oven cleaner • Household cleaners • Photo Chemicals

• Roofing Tar • Spot remover • Floor Cleaner / Polish • Expired Prescriptions • Batteries • Unbroken Fluorescent bulbs / tubes

I thought I could find an adult in my own Party, but the Liberals are good with it. Under “Section 28 (1) The Minister may issue a written interpretation of any provision of the building code, and the Minister's interpretation is binding on any person exercising a power or performing...” In lieu of that Kathleen Wynne cheered them on: “the government views municipalities as mature and responsible governments capable of making informed decisions and appropriately carrying out their responsibility". At least Minister Gerretsen gave an honest answer: “cost impacts”.

From the Garage:

Thanks to a 9-0 decision at the Supreme Court of Canada Ontario and her municipalities can be sued for this foul-up, which I estimate cost some 20,000 fatalities since these laws could have be enforced, but your municipality choose not to. So instead of enforcement all four Parties are poised to remove the Required Soil Gas Control law in the 2018 Code. I decided to run. There are some things you just don't trade money for.

From your Lawn and Garden:

Presently they admit this is responsible for 16% of lung cancers; I think that's light and we have twice as much radon in this uranium rich Riding. Getting existing laws enforced to stop cancer is what I’m all about. Had cancer? Got cancer? Don't want cancer? Can you help me? Call me at 613-374-5374.

OBITUARY

PAUL, Gerald Graham

Glenn Edgar Larock

Gerald (Gerry) passed away at the age of 90 in Port Angeles, WA Hospital on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 after a brief illness. He was the son of the late John William and Maude Matilda Paul of Halifax, NS. Gerry joined the Canadian Army (RCEME) in 1948 studying electronics. Upon his release from the army, Gerry worked for a couple of Canadian companies in his elected field before relocating to California to further his career. While in California, he and his wife Ruby attended night classes at Universities in the Los Angeles area with Ruby obtaining her Bachelor’s Degree and Gerry going on to obtain his Master’s Degree. He moved up within Lytton Industries retiring in 1992 in the position of Senior Scientist After retiring, Ruby and Gerry moved back to Canada to Marble Lake, Ontario on a property they were owners of in 1956. Building their dream home, they became very active in community life enjoying golf, card playing (bridge in particular) and enjoying the company of numerous friends they felt fortunate to associate with. He was always available to help the young people in the area and also found time to participate in Legion functions. He and Ruby loved golf and were very fond of the local nine hole golf course, Hunter’s Creek. Hoping to spend their latter years taking it easy, they had a desire to spend that time in Sequim, WA, an area known for a moderate climate and easy living. Unfortunately, Ruby became ill and the dream was put on hold. They elected to relocate to Uxbridge, ON to be near Ruby’s family. Ruby passed away in January 2008. After Ruby’s death, Gerry decided to live their dream and moved to Sequim and resided there until his death. While in Sequim, Gerry was very active enjoying some golf, playing and teaching Bridge. He kept active in various activities and made numerous friends in that community. He is survived by his brother Edward, numerous nieces and nephews as well as the many friends who he remained close to over the years. He will be missed by all of us who have known him as a great brother, uncle and friend. There will not be any service at Gerry’s request.

WOOD: Gordon Robert May 16, 2018 Peacefully at Napanee General Hospital. Gordon Robert Wood of Flinton, Ontario at the age of 93. A man of few words, a big heart and courage. Now in the arms of his beloved wife, Wilma (Bryden). Gordon was born on November 7th, 1924 in Cobalt, ON. Predeceased by his parents, Alfred Wood and Mary (Faulkner); siblings Helen, William, Gerald and Clifford; daughter-in-law Nancy (Hasler) and son-in-law Dan Brown. Sadly missed already by his children Robert (Bonnie), Alvin (Donna), James (Donna), Audrey (Robert), and Tracey (Richard), thirteen grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren, his sisters-in-law Linda, Vonnie, Suzie, Verna, Isabel and many nieces and nephews. Though he didn’t talk about it much, Gordon served in the Regina Rifles from 1941 to 1946, landed on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944 and marched across four countries, eventually taking part in the liberation of Holland. He proudly took part in Legion Remembrance Day activities each year and he and Wilma were able to travel to Holland twice to take part in remembrance celebration there. Gordon appears in the video, The Memory Project: http://www.thememoryproject. com/stories/2508:gordon-wood/ As per Gordon’s wishes cremation has taken place. Arrangements: McConnell Funeral Home, Tweed. A family Celebration of life will be held later this summer. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gordon’s name can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association; Land 0' Lakes Emmanuel United Church, Northbrook or Through the Roof Ministry Centre, Flinton. Gordon was able to stay in the home he and Wilma built and raised their family in and to manage his diabetes and other health issues right up until his recent admission to hospital thanks to the daily support of his daughter Audrey and son James. Gordon continued to enjoy watching birds at the feeder outside the window and attending community events on his very speedy scooter. His place at the head of the Father’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings and his annual Birthday dinners at the hunting camp will be empty, but our hearts will be full as memories are shared. No doubt Gordon is once again at Wilma’s side enjoying a nice piece of raisin pie.

If we get only 15 teams this year, great, but maybe we will get more.” Chabot, who is a fishing enthusiast himself, is working with the District 3 (Oso) Recreation Committee on the event.

Water quality issues, the state of the fish stocks in the lake, the flora and fauna on the shoreline, and the impact of existing development all play a role in the lake stewardship plan document that lake associations, working with Conservation Authorities and the township, are able to develop. “The idea of this seminar is to introduce the concepts behind a lake stewardship plan, and help those who might be interested to get one going on their lake. It does not have to be a long, technical document prepared by an expensive consultant, lake plans can reflect the skill and knowledge base of people who are already living on the lake,” Moore said.

Lake planning seminar set for June 2 in Plevna T he Canonto Lake Association is one of the few in North Frontenac to have undertaken the exercise of developing a lake stewardship plan for their lake and surrounding watershed. Bruce Moore, one of the architects of the Canonto Lake Plan, has a hand in promoting a seminar at the Clarendon and Miller Hall on June 2. The seminar will provide an opportunity for anyone living on or near a lake to learn about what a lake stewardship plan is, how to work on one, and how lake plans play a key role in making sure that existing properties and new developments can co-exist with the natural processes that are necessary to sustain a lake over time. “The Township of North Frontenac has recognised the role of lake plans within their Official Plan, the blueprint for development in the township,” Moore said. Working on the Canonto Lake plan was informative for him, as it was for the others who worked on it, as well as those on the

Russell DeCarle at Snow Road R

by Jeff Green

ussell DeCarle is the kind of country music artist who connects as deeply with the Johnny Cash and Hank Williams repertoire as he does with Billy Holiday, Django Reinhardt and Bob Wills. The poetry of lyrics, melodies that swing and the emotions that are stirred up by great renditions of powerful songs have kept him in the music business for over 40 years. He was a founding member of the 6 time Juno and 6 time Canadian Country Music Association award winning band, Prairie Oyster, and has played with musicians from across Canada since the late 1970’s. He is a musi-

cian, singer and songwriter who is bringing some of the music from his long career as well as material from his latest release, “Alone in this Crowd” to the intimate setting of the Snow Road Hall this Saturday Night, starting at 8pm. “I want people to be emotionally invested in these songs, whether I wrote them or whether they were created by others,” he says. “If they touched audiences in some way — well, that

would be the best thing that could happen.” Tickets to the concert are $20 in advance and $22 at the door. They are available at ticketsplease.ca or by calling 613-2846434.

EORN finds Frontenac County to be a soft touch

rontenac County is not generally an easy organisation to extract funds from. With the notable exception of its long-term commitment to supporting the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation, Council is reluctant to spend money on anything other than funding its own services. But when EORN comes calling, Frontenac County is ready and willing to pay. And the reason is simple. EORN (The Eastern Ontario Regional Network) was created by the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus in order to put together massive electronic infrastructure projects. Their goal is to bring high quality internet and cell phone service to every corner of Eastern Ontario, and if there is one thing that residents of Frontenac County have made clear to their elected representatives, it is the desire for better cell and Internet coverage. The first time EORN came calling, the council of the day was a bit nervous about

the amount of money they were being asked to contribute, over $500,000, but that first project was a success. By the end of it, 82% of Frontenac County households have Internet service with up to 10 megabits per second download speed from a fixed wireless or direct service or a dsl (digital subscriber line - ie a phone line), a major improvement over the past. The 18% who do not have one of those options can access satellite service. The new project is devoted to improving cell phone coverage to Eastern Ontario, with the goal of cutting the number of residents without cell overage from 16% to less than 1%. The other goal of the project is to bring Eastern Ontario in line with the ambitious goal identified by Canadian Radio-television and telecommunications (CRTC) for Internet service; 50mgabit per second in download speeds and 10 megabit upload speeds. Lisa Severson and Stephane Parisien from EORN described how EORN needs

to conduct a major study to determine how to accomplish these daunting speeds within a vast rural area such as Eastern Ontario. Their first request of Frontenac County was a $40,000 contribution to the study. The second request was for somewhere between $385,000 and $510,000 over 4 years (depending on how many municipalities in Eastern Ontario participate in the project), to improve cell coverage. “I can say that the upper limit, the $510,000 is off the table now,” said Parisien, “because we already have had some major commitments.” That local commitment will be matched by a provincial contribution which is already committed, an expected Federal commitment, and industry investment, leading to a project in excess of $200 million in scope. This time around, there was no hesitation among members of Frontenac County Council.

$40,000 was committed, from reserve funds, towards the study. Although this

by Jeff Green

council will be gone before the next budget is prepared, they directed staff to plan for the payment of up to $500,000 over 3 or 4 years under the reasonable expectation that the next council will follow follow through with the payment. The only concern that Council raised was over something that has been pulled from the project, work on developing a communication network for first responders, especially fire services. The Frontenac municipalities need to update their old communications systems and a regional solution would save a lot of money for local ratepayers. “The province has asked us to wait until they are ready to work on this,” said Parisien, “we are a bit ahead of the curve, but once they are ready we will take it up again.”
