SF Museum opening — stone houses, knitted socks and a pair of old skates by Craig Bakay
T
he South Frontenac Museum in Hartington officially opened its doors for the season Saturday as part of the Doors Open Ontario program. New to the museum this year is a presentation of 62 old stone houses in the area by David Jeffries, which is a project of the newly-formed South Frontenac Heritage Committee. And Doug Lovegrove’s little military history corner is also undergoing some changes. “We’re moving out some of the Second World War stuff in favour of the 146th Overseas Battalion (the First World War unit formed in this area,” he said. “We’ve also got some stuff about life in the trenches such as the knitting program whereby people on the home front would knit socks for the soldiers. “Sometimes, they could go through as many as four pairs of socks in a day.” It’s little stories like that that make museums such interesting places. And one of those stories happened Saturday. Glenn Snook dropped in to the museum with a pair of skates. Obviously very old, they were the ‘spring skates’ kind where the
blades clamped over the sole of your boots. “These belonged to Carolyn Fluke in the 1890s,” Snook said. “Some people might know Robin Fluke, a relative who was a teacher at Sydenham High School. “Carolyn was my grandfather John Lindsay’s girlfriend.” On Dec. 24, a 20-something Carolyn decided to go for a skate on Lake Opinicon. Unfortunately, the ice was thin. She fell in the water. She drowned. When Snook was a boy, he was in his grandfather’s attic and seeing the skates, he asked his grandfather about them. “He told me the story so I’d know why he kept them,” Snook said. “Much later on, I asked my cousins if he’d told them the story. “They said he didn’t. He only told me.” After his grandfather died, Snook and his wife were cleaning out the attic and came across the old skates. “I’ve kept them ever since,” he said. “I thought this museum would be a proper place for them.” And so it is, as well as a 120-year-old love story.
Barb Stewart accepting the old set of skates from Glenn Snook Board member Barb Stewart said the Open Doors event was the first of several planned for this year. “We will have others but we don’t know
what until our 21st annual meeting,” she said. “But we will be open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. from July 1 until Labour Day.”
St. James School’s film festival innovative and creative approach to teaching science by Craig Bakay
T
here was a door person, keyboard music and a red carpet leading into the 1 st ever St. James International Film Festival last week at St. James Major Catholic School in Sharbot Lake.
They even had popcorn. In an innovative program, the students formed teams to produce 10 short videos, all with the theme of climate change. They explored topics such as the effect on pen-
guins, flooding, wild fires, polar bears, blooper reels and cow farts. One of the biggest driving forces for the project has been of volunteer mom Charlotte MacAllister, whose day job is senior program officer, climate change at the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa. With a PhD in hydrology, MacAllister naturally has an interest in science but also recognized the difficulties in inspiring students towards such pursuits. So, two years ago, she came up with the idea of marrying arts and science through the contemporary technology of video production along with Vice-Principal Lori Bryden. But being a small rural school has its limitations. So, they secured a Speak Up grant from the Ministry of Education (their second, The St. James production team from left: teacher Mike Veryzer, volunteer Charlotte MacAllister, Vice-Principal the first was for a Lori Bryden, emcees Hector MacAllister and Blake Cryer with Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School weather station at
the school) for iPads and tripods, some free software from FiLMiC Pro and some instruction/training/guidance from Youth Active Media. The next thing you know, emcee Hector MacAllister was belting out “rooooll the clip.” “Sometimes science can be a little bit dull,” Charlotte MacAllister said. “But combining it in the arts curriculum cam get kids engaged.” And engaged they certainly were. “I know it’s not a real audience, but I had a little bit of stage fright,” said Hector MacAllister, who not only produced one of the segments but served as emcee with teammate Blake Cryer. “At first it was a square wheel but now it’s a circle.” The media award goes to Rian Cryer and Aiden Peterson for their How Climate Change Would Affect the Earth, in engaging and creative way. “I wanted to see it in the future and he (Peterson) wanted to see it in the present,” said Cryer. “It’s something we thought was cool.” “We got the idea and hashed it around,” said Peterson, who also said he’d like to pursue video production further. School board trustee Sean Kelly seemed quite pleased by what he’d seen. “I’m so glad it worked out I could be here,” Kelly said. “They’ve shown the board how well they’re working with the technology.” “The kids were asking when they could make more videos so I guess we hit a bullseye,” said MacAllister.

Beef jerky and monster energy drinks ... and donuts
T
here were only three accused on the docket at Sharbot Lake Criminal Court this month, all cases that have been in front of Judge Griffin for some time. One of them is a bit of a mysterious case, involving a former contract employee for a federal MP from Newfoundland. Gipse Julio Ricardo Villas, 68, known as Guilio Villas, and his wife, Jessica Louise Villas, 42, face two charges each of fraud over $5,000. Jessica Villas was the special assistant to Newfoundland MP Judy Foote until Foote
resigned her seat last September and Villas was not offered a reassignment. The charges were laid in November. The accused each have their own lawyer and Kingston assistant Crown Attorney John Skoropada has been assigned to the case and has been in discussions with both defence lawyers about how to proceed. There was an attempt in the early winter to move the proceedings to Kingston but that was resisted by Judge Griffin, who indicated again this week that he will schedule extra Sharbot Lake dates to accommodate a trial, that would likely last longer than one day, should a plea deal not be reached. Dates in the early fall are being canvassed either for a preliminary hearing or a trial. “I know nothing about the case,” said Judge Griffin. It then came out that the Villas allegedly impersonated lawyers in a fraudulent real estate transaction, and a David Hill is listed as one of the victims, who is allegedly out of
pocket to the tune of $80,000. The victims are both from North Frontenac. It is not clear at this point if the David Hill mentioned in court is the same David Hill who is well known to North Frontenac Council, being the developer behind a subdivision and resort on NorCan Lake at the far northeastern edge of the township. That David Hill has had his own legal issues with the township, none in criminal court, though. There are no other David Hills with listed phone numbers in the township. We reached out to David Hill of the Canonto Resort for his take on the Villas case, but had not heard back by the time of publication The case is also being slowed down because the Federal Crown Counsel, John Skoropda, who has been negotiating a resolution with defence lawyers, is off on an adventure. Skoropada is only sporadically available because he is on a cycling race across the United States, in which all supplies are purchased by the riders along the route. This caught the attention of Judge Griffin. “So, he doesn’t have a lot of time to deal with the Villas while riding the route, does he. When is he back?”
by Jeff Green
“Maybe at the end of next week. He is in Kansas now,” said the provincial crown attorney who was in attendance, “you can track him online.” “That’s fabulous for him. So, what is he eating, gas station food? Beef Jerky?” asked the judge. “And massive energy drinks, …” said the Crown” “And donuts” said one of the defence lawyers. Judge Griffin set a new reporting date for the case on August 20. (Editors note. Mr Skorapada had reached Houston, Missouri by midnight on Tuesday night, 2819 miles (4536km) into the 4165 mile (6700) km race. trial dates set Randall Kirkwood, charges with driving with blood alcohol over 80mg/100ml of blood and having open liquor in his vehicle, will be tried on October 15. Dwight Vanalstine, charged with operating a vehicle while disqualified, as well as three Highway Traffic Act violations, will be tried on September 17.
LetteR Chief's truck
I
am becoming very concerned for the wellbeing of many in our community. We have had an amazing volunteer firefighting team in all Central Frontenac districts. There have been men and woman devoted to being there when called upon. Now I hear there are many leaving because of political differences/

For your market analysis & staging consultation Not intended to solicit properties already under contract
bullshit. The frustration I have witnessed when speaking with them is overwhelming. This is a volunteer position, yet the demands have cost the loss of many good firefighters. They have been with Central Frontenac Fire and Rescue for years with the passion to make things better. What is going on? I have received two different mailouts from our township looking for volunteers. I have lived here for 36 years and never once received one. We have always had men and women proudly be there for us in the time of crisis. I have to understand how our fire chief has a new truck, purchased with our tax dollars, that has no signage stating “Fire and Rescue” or “Central Frontenac.” I truly do not know the whole story, but see the frustration. Do we have tax dollars to pay volunteers? I don't think so. This is where we are headed. I have discovered part of the reason Fire Chief Robinson does not have decals/signage on his service truck. He presently pays the township an amount of money so he can use the truck for personal use with his family. He does not want people knowing it is
a work truck when he is out and about with his family. I would like to talk to the township and see if they will do the same for me; a car loan. Joking aside, where does the liability fall? We need to have staff that is proud to be part of our township. Not sure why we decided to do such a deal, and the legal aspect, if any, that could be involved. Maybe once again I am stepping on toes. But the people need to know the happenings in our township. The deals happening behind doors, for better or worse. I want to thank the firefighters for their dedication and years of service. Without you, the outcome could become very different. I say this to those that left their teams because of indifference/ frustration with the chief as well. You all deserve applause. Is this something council and staff at the township have to look at? Better now than later. We are down to one firefighter at our end. Clarity is a beautiful thing. Feeling safe is a beautiful thing. Time to slow the processes down and rethink…I'm thinking so.

hris Wilcox, Jevon Austin and Philippe Archambault, all of Silverwood Drive in Storrington District, made what has become an annual trip to Council to express concerns for the safety of their children which they feel is threatened by the fast driving of local residents along their road. (Silverwood leads from Round Lake Road to Loughborough Lake.) None of them professed to have an answer to the problem: in the past, a temporary speed hump seemed to help, but their road does not meet the criteria set by Council for combined volume and speed of traffic. Other possibilities discussed included lowering the speed limit or having a sign giving a read-out of current speeds, which flashes when the limit is exceeded. They offered to raise money as a community to help cover the cost of a flashing sign. Mayor Vandewal said the Township receives many similar requests every year, but has neither the resources nor the enforcement capacity to deal with them all. Segsworth joined the group after their presentation to share statistics collected recently in an assessment of traffic on Silverwood.
Desert Lake Causeway Culverts
Council confirmed that the culverts on the Desert Lake Causeway would be replaced with similar sized culverts subject to Conservation approvals. This closes the discussion of whether the waterway between Desert Lake and Holleford Lake should be made fully navigable by installing a bridge. “The Desert Lake Causeway budget does not contemplate a bridge.” Building Inspector Appointed Brent Hewlett, who began with the Building department in March, has now completed his ministry credentials, and is officially appointed as South Frontenac’s Building Inspector. Bellrock Community hall The Bellrock Community Group was appointed a Committee of Council, with Councillor McDougal as their Council representative. This means the hall and its activities will be covered by the Township’s liability insurance.
Cooper Rezoning Application, Bedford After Councillor Barr and Deputy Mayor Revill viewed the property on Fairhaven Lane/ Badour Road, Revill reported that there appeared to be a housing envelope, and recommended the rezoning be approved, but only if the owner can present a septic system design for the low-lying property that the Public Health Unit is willing to accept.

F-CFDC AGM
Councillor Sleeth commended Building Department Admin Assistant Peggy Spafford for her ability to remain calm and polite recently while trying to help a very angry, unpleasant resident.
Planner mills’ Last meeting Mayor Vandewal acknowledged Planner Lindsay Mills’ last official meeting before his retirement at the end of June by presenting Mills with his name plate. When asked about his retirement plans, Mills said he’ll think about that later; for now he’s concentrating on getting his desk work all finished in the next two weeks.
Public Works update Public Works Manager Segsworth reported that the Bedford Road and the Harrowsmith Corner projects are both coming along well, but may not meet the July 1st completion deadlines. However, he listed completion of the Perth Road Firehall and the Storrington Center upgrade in what must be the heaviest year of projects in a long time. Still to come: surface treatment of Westport Road and the Sydenham-Harrowsmith stretch.

Dick, B.Sc. (Pharm)
The Osage natives of North American used witch hazel bark to treat skin ulcers and sores. I vaguely remember it being discussed in our pharmacognasy course at UBC. You must remember the chemical contents….calcium oxalate, gallotannins, safrole as well as chemicals found the essential oil (carvacrol and eugenol). I certainly don’t! It was a “druggist”, Alvan Whittermore, who in 1846 steam distilled the plant’s twigs and leaves and produced a product called “Hawes Extract” and recommended it for skin irritations, external hemhorroids and inflammations. Witch hazel is often found in natural remedies for eczema aftershaves and even for treating insect bites and poison ivy. I wonder how much money he made on his invention. Having said that, didn’t a pharmacist invent Coca Cola? I slip a little reminder on this topic every couple of years to remind people not to grill their meat to the charred stage even though many people love that taste. It doesn’t matter what type of meat it is, when cooked at high temperatures, it forms heterocyclic amines and polcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The evidence on the harm these compounds may cause is not totally proven scientifically. It’s hard to do a double-blind study on the topic. But the experts still advise against eating burnt meat citing a possible increased risk of prostate and colorectal cancer. They also suggest marinating is a good idea and using a high smoke point oil like peanut oil is best to use as the basis of the marinade. You don’t have to be a singer to partake in the program, you just have to want to sing. The participants all sit in a circle and everyone is equal. Some songs have actions to them and when I viewed a video of a group in the program, you couldn’t help but notice the smiles and looks of real joy on their faces. The relatives of the dementia patients love it too because for some, it has been a long time since they’ve seen their loved one smile. As mentioned before, Health Canada personnel have been very slow in coming up with regulations on vaping products but they have solicited views from Canadians and hopefully new laws will be released soon. Vapers would object to their products being treated the same as tobacco products because their “smoke” contains a lot less harmful products. However, many still contain nicotine, propylene glycol, flavourings and traces of heavy metals

South Frontenac volunteers of the year mary-Jo Dowker
kerry Fox
Mary-Jo Dowker is well-known in Verona, especially in the softball community, having been involved for 11 years, most as convenor. This is a time-consuming role that begins long before the softball season, usually in January or February, and continues until Fall. As convenor, Mary-Jo liaises with and represents Verona at the Frontenac County Minor Softball Association. She takes care of all the registration, recruiting of coaches, equipment and uniform maintenance, purchasing and organization. She also does all the scheduling for Verona/Hartington Softball and coordinates with the Frontenac County Minor Softball Association and the InterCommunity Softball Association to avoid conflicts. Mary-Jo organizes umpires through the Limestone Umpire Association, acts as the treasurer and fundraises too! Field maintenance, washrooms and clubhouse are all taken care of by her, in coordination with the Lions Club, who owns the facilities. She has also been the treasurer and secretary of the Frontenac County Minor Softball Association. She has been a member of the Portland District Recreation Committee for 10 years and has been involved with minor hockey as well. In addition to all her work in local sports, she has been a member of the Christmas for Kids Committee in the Verona area for 10 years. When her children were young, she was an active member of Parent Council, holding the positions of treasurer, secretary and vice-chair. As any volunteer knows, time is a precious commodity. Volunteering with a young family as Mary-Jo has adds another layer to her commitment. It is with heartfelt thanks that the community relays their appreciation on behalf of the many children and families who have benefitted from her time and dedication.
Kerry started her volunteer work as a young high school student. Kerry volunteered at the local united church and taught Sunday School. Recently, Kerry joined two other women in making over 250 pairs of warm mitts and slippers for a class in Betecheco, North West Territories, where her eldest daughter teaches. Over the past 22 years, Kerry has been a member of the Storrington Minor Soccer Club Executive and has taken on the role of both secretary and registrar for the club. Kerry has coached numerous teams and developed an ingenious system for player substitution that ensured all her players were able to play the same amount of time. Kerry has helped with organizing and conducting the fun day canteen for the soccer club. The proceeds from the fun day go to the Storrington Minor Soccer Club bursary fund that has helped over 175 kids play soccer in the community who might not have been
JunE 21, 2018 (supplied by the township of South Frontenac) able to participate otherwise. Prior to the start of the soccer season, Kerry is there to install nets on their frames, coordinate the teams and answer the many calls about the soccer season. Kerry has been married to Kevin for the past 37 years and is the mother of two grown children, Katelyn and Kortney.
kim Deline When it comes to being a South Frontenac citizen extremely involved in community service and an outstanding leader and role model for our children, one noteworthy citizen arises – Kim Deline. Kim has been extensively involved with community events over the years: As a member of Parent Council of Loughborough Public School, she hands out hot lunches and successfully champions her volunteer teams for Family Fun nights; she assists with Canada and Family Day celebrations, along with

In 2017, while juggling the administration of Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders, she founded the 1st Frontenac Extra Opportunities (‘Extra Ops’) unit for girls aged 12 to 17 in our area. Through weekly meetings and weekend events, Kim has been providing youth-centred programming, encouraging girls to learn, to make friends, to grow and discover the very best in themselves, and above all, to be a good citizen. In 2017, Kim stepped up to organize and implement an incredible 90th Year Celebration of Carruthers Point Camp, the oldest Girl Guide camp in Ontario. This event was attended by approximately 200 Guides and Guiders of South Frontenac, Kingston and its surrounding area. Kim approaches each task passionately, no matter how daunting. She multi-tasks all this volunteer work diligently around her demanding career as an Emergency Room nurse and while managing a busy family at home. As a result of her volunteer “career”

Boyd Goodberry Boyd Goodberry, a lifetime resident of South Frontenac having recently retired from Kingston General Hospital, has spent quite a lot of time volunteering for the Social & Athletic Club. We are lucky that Boyd is so handy; his handyman skills were definitely an asset when we received the Trillium grant last year to renovate the club hall. Boyd was at the hall every day for very long days working tirelessly alongside the contractors, and even keeping up the momentum after the renovations were complete. We are very proud to have him on our team of directors and members. Boyd’s volunteering did not just start when he retired. Boyd has been helping out with the Canada Day in the Park Celebrations for many years. His BBQ chicken over a fire was always the best around. Boyd is also known for his generosity and talents; always donating hand-crafted gifts for the Chinese Auction and graciously bringing down his trailer to the park for the Canada Day Celebrations to use as a headquarters. When the going gets tough, Boyd is always there to lend a helping hand; setting up the hall for functions, picking up supplies, set-

ting up and tearing down for events at the park, fixing a toilet or changing the locks on the cupboard doors. Boyd is one of the most reliable, hard-working volunteers we have ever had. He attends monthly meetings and is not afraid to ask the hard questions for the good of the club. He is also known for his excellent bartending skills at many functions such as Euchre nights, dances and Chinese Auctions. Boyd also was on the 150th Celebration Committee, attending meetings and helping out in any way that he could. Thank you for your dedication, and for volunteering many years of service to our community
marilyn Goodberry Marilyn has lived in the area for all of her life and is a proud, active member of our community. She has been a long-standing, invaluable and active member of the Harrowsmith Social and Athletic Club. Marilyn wears many hats for the club and the community. Marilyn is currently treasurer and hall rental manager as well as club director. She is also involved in marketing events, maintaining the club hall and supporting softball in Harrowsmith. Marilyn has also volunteered her time to support organizations such as The Children’s Wish Foundation. Marilyn’s keen passion for helping develop new initiatives and expanding on existing
JunE 21, 2018 initiatives has enabled the club to successfully offer such events as euchre fun nights, Canada Day in the Park, Santa Parade and Open House, Chinese Auctions, dances, children’s parties, babysitting courses and VON exercise classes, to name a few. Marilyn is a very hard worker as well as team player. Running large events such as Canada Day and the Canada 150th Celebration & Road Rally is definitely a team effort and can be challenging at times. Keeping track of the many vendors, events and entertainment that must be paid, as well as managing the revenue and expenses involved with events and the club, is no small task. Marilyn has greeted these challenges with a positive and determined attitude. She is known for hunkering down and getting things done. Marilyn has spent countless hours dedicating her time to making sure that everything always runs as smoothly as possible. To put it simply, the community and the Harrowsmith Social and Athletic Club are very lucky to have such a generous, hardworking volunteer. The successful running of many events and the S&A Club would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of volunteers like Marilyn. Marilyn is an asset that we simply could not do without. Thank you for your endless years of service to our community.

• The Lions sure have been busy. Hope you got your $10 ticket to try to win the $2500 prize on Canada Day. The odds are good; they are 1 in 1000 since only 1000 tickets were printed. Rumour has it they are selling fast. Draw to be held on Canada Day. • Every $1 you donate to the South Frontenac Community Services via the site www.givingchallenge.ca will count as a ballot towards helping them win $10,000 from the GIV3 Foundation. Try to make a donation if you can during the month of June. In the “Search” tab, type in “South Frontenac Community Services Corporation” to find the link to their donation page. • WOW!! 2000 lbs of food and $610 cash was raised during the Stuff the Cruiser events at Foodland in Sydenham and Verona. Amazing!! Remember, you can always donate anytime of year with bins at Foodland, or you can contact volunteers at the Food Bank. There is also a solarpowered watering system in the garden at the Food Bank, with thanks to a grant from Food Banks Canada. I think it’s safe to say that the people of our community, as well as the volunteers, deserve a pat on the back for helping put food on the
table for those in need. • The 10th Annual Charity Golf Tournament raised over $4500, which will go to support Seniors’ Programs. • Canada Day is coming! The 2nd annual Fishing Tournament is happening on June 30. Ages 3–16 are welcome to participate (a parent must be present). Registration is at 6:45am, and the Tournament runs until 10am. Age categories are 3–5, 6–8, 9–11, and 12–16. All kids who fish in the derby receive a prize. There will be one grand prize per age division for the largest fish. The winners receive a grand prize and have their picture taken in a Bass boat that will be on display during the derby. Please bring a fishing pole with you. Worms and bobbers are provided. If you would like to donate a prize for the kids, please contact m.blair@live.ca, or if you are not tech savvy, just give me a call at 613-376-9848 and I can put you in the right direction. Let’s make this a ton of fun for the kids! • Calling all kids!! Get your bikes all decked out for Canada Day and be a part of the parade. Decorate your bike and get up to the fire hall at 12:30pm on Canada Day, then you will gather at the ball diamond, and there will even be prizes awarded. • On July 1, the place to be is at the Point! As we celebrate what a wonderful country we live in, Sydenham has done it in style once again. Our entertainment this year is an open mic with Joe Saunders and SHS from 3-5pm., Rock Haven, Red Rose Express, Jessica Wedden, and Dark Horse. There will be a canteen from Noon until 10pm ran by Scouts Canada, Pierogi’s by Barb from Noon until 5pm and The Ladies Auxillary will have their sweets table there from Noon until 5pm as well. We hope for good weather so the antique cars can be there from 2:15-4pm at the entrance to the Point. Don’t forget to check out the Tweedsmuir Historical Display at the library as well; The Women’s Institute is presenting an historical display at the Sydenham Library from Noon to 3pm. And last but not least, the fireworks start at 9:45. So c’mon, Sydenham, get to the Point and enjoy our country’s birthday!

Many of the great songs about railroading will be sung beside the track in Sharbot Lake’s Railway Heritage Park at “CabooseFest” on Saturday, June 30, between 11a.m. and 2p.m. Former members of the Feral Five will reunite as “The Boxcar Boys” to perform a set of train songs and will also accompany local teacher and singer Kora Kamps, whose outstanding voice will be showcased in one of her first performances in the area. Headliners at CabooseFest will be songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire Shawn McCullough, and 16-year-old fiddler and step dancer Jessica Wedden. Originally from Parham, Shawn McCullough was nominated for Guitarist of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association, and he rocked The Crossing Pub in Sharbot Lake in early June. Jessica Wedden was a Canadian Folk Music Award Nominee for Young Entertainer of the Year, and recently opened for Junowinning fiddler Ashley MacIsaac. It’s a safe

King of Sharbot Lake K irk Chabot did not know what to expect when he decided to put on a fishing derby for the opening day of bass season on Sharbot Lake. If we get ten teams and they share a few hundred dollars in prize money that won’t be the end of the world,” he said a month ago when he was first getting the word out. “But, from what I hear, people want to come out for a derby, so I think we will have more then ten teams.” He was right about that. There were 39 teams registered by the time the derby got underway last Saturday morning, one under the capacity for the event. And when it was all over, the team of John Davis and Tim Riley, with 8 bass weighing in at 18.625 pounds, took home $1,000. The
“
second prize, $500, was won by the grandfather/father/son team of Bill Bowick, Scott Bullen, and Braden Bullen with 17 pounds, 6.875 ounces of live bass in their 8 fish catch, and the third prize, $250 went to Scott Mconal and Adam Massey, 16 pounds, 8.75ounces. The heaviest single fish was caught by Dave and Scott Lockridge, 4 pounds, 11 ounces. “It was quite a day,” said Chabot, “we thought people would weigh in parts of their catch as they went along, but we waited through the morning until mid afternoon and nothing much happened. Then at 2.30 they all came in. I weighed in about 200 fish in an a hour and a half. It was a lot. Chabot is already thinking

about next year, when the King of Sharbot Lake bass derby will return. “People are already talking about coming back and bringing more friends, he said, “but some things will change. We won’t have a BBQ because fishers bring their own food, and I’ll weigh the fish as a group if they come in with their entire catch at once,” he said, pointing to his cut and swollen thumb, which was
in that condition from picking up the bass one at a time and returning them to the lake. Photo caption - the three generation team of (L to R) Scott Bullen, Braden Bullen, and Bill Bowick took 2nd place. submitted photo

Sharbot Lake Legion presents bursaries to GREC students by Craig Bakay n what was easily the largest crowd at the Sharbot Lake Legion in recent memory, GREC students Corrie-Lynn Shields and Destanie Lalonde received $500 cheques to help them with their postsecondary educations. The fact that there was a steak dinner and the proximity to Father’s Day on Sunday likely contributed to the size of the crowd. Patty Middleton, branch honours and awards chair and youth education, presented Shield and Lalonde with their cheques. “We’ve been giving bur-
I
saries to deserving students for as long as I can remember, more than 30 years,” Middleton said. “Of course, the cheques weren’t as large back in those days.” Both students were appreciative and humble about their awards. “Thanks to everyone at the Legion,” said Lalonde. “They’re very generous,” said Shields. Shields, who’s a victory lapper at GREC, will be heading off to Fleming College in Peterborough this fall for a year of health services education before entering the paramedics program.
“I’m squared in on it (becoming a paramedic),” she said. “I became a lifeguard and that’s when I knew what I wanted to do.” Lalonde will be heading to Nipissing University in North Bay to study criminal justice, with an eye towards becoming a criminal investigator or criminal lawyer. “Since I was seven I wanted to be a police officer,” she said. “I chose Nipissing because it’s much like this area. “It’s beautiful there.” The girls agreed that the thing they’ll miss most about going off to school is their dogs.
