Verona Car Show founder 'still part of it' by Craig Bakay ack in 1995, the economic picture in Verona wasn’t quite what many thought it could be.

“We’d lost the GM dealership and some stores,” said Ed Asselstine. That’s when he and fellow antique car enthusiast Larry Teal got an idea. “We thought we should be doing something to promote the area,” Asselstine said. “That’s when I said to Larry ‘I think we could do a car show.’” And so, they did. Asselstine said they had 54 cars on display that year and it was held at the public school for its first 10 years. In subsequent years, it began to outgrow the schoolyard and moved to McMullen Park (5-6 years). It outgrew that venue too, with about 180 vehicles on display. Now, in its 23rd year, it’s held annually at the Lions compound and regularly houses more than 270 antique vehicles (actually, there were exactly 270 this year, down slightly from 278 in 2017). Entrants compete in 24 vehicle classes including Production Cars, Modified Cars, Production Trucks, Modified Trucks, Special Interest Vehicles, Foreign Vehicles, Military

Vehicles, Best Paint, People’s Choice, Kids Pick and Best in Show. There’s also entertainment, door prizes, food and demonstrations (vehicle extraction, etc.) After 20 years, Asselstine handed the reigns over to John and Julie Nizman. But he is still an antique car person. “I only have two left,” Asselstine said. “The ’51 Chevy and a a ’31 Model A truck. “I guess I’ll have to keep the truck because my wife had a picture of it engraved on our tombstone.” The Chevy isn’t going anywhere either. He talks about it the way a guitar player talks about a favourite axe. “When I was in high school, I worked at the filling station,” he said. “An American came up to get gas in a ’51 Chevy and I knew I had to have one.” It took him some 41 years, but he got one. These days, he still admits to being an antique car person, but has left the heavylifting of the car show to others. “Old car people are great people,” he said. “They’re good, solid people. “I’m still the chief judge and available to break ties, but other than that, I’m kind of a consultant for the Nizmans.” Asselstine is proud that he was part of

Verona Car Show founder Ed Asselstine with his beloved ’51 Chevy. creating a solid foundation for the car show to continue and thrive, and he predicts that it will be around for many years to come. He may not be as active a collector as he once was, but he does admit his arm could

be twisted if the right vehicle came along. “I could get interested in a ’60 Pontiac two-door hardtop or an ’80 Oldsmobile,” he

said.

Merritta Parks marks 100 years! O

n August 1, Pine Meadow celebrated a very special birthday. This day marked 100 years of age for this very remarkable woman. “It was quite a busy party they had for me at the Lion’s Centre [in Northbrook]. There were people coming and going all afternoon,” she said on Tuesday morning over the phone from the nursing home as she was getting ready to head out to the weekly

Drop-In in Northbrook. It is no surprise that the hall was filled, as Merritta has quite a large immediate family. She has 11 children, “13 if you count the two who passed away, one at ten months and one at 6 weeks,” she recalled. She also has 31 grandchildren, and as great grandchildren are concerned, she isn’t exactly sure how many there are. “There were 50-some the last time we

counted,” she said. Her family were out in force that day as most of her children, the youngest of whom is in their 60s, live within the local region, and she has one living in Napanee and one in Oshawa. Alongside family and friends, Merritta cut the cake and ate some as well, while entertained by musical band “Dave & Marg.” Pine Meadow staff provided reflections and fun facts of what she has been witness to over the past 100 years, everything from black & white television to iPods and PS4s! Merritta was raised on a farm on the Flinton Road, and when she was 14 she started working in a boarding house at Kaladar, later working in the kitchen at the Kaladar hotel. The hotel was located south of Highway 7 when she first worked there, before it was moved by being loaded onto logs pulled by horses to its eventual location north of the highway. When she married, she lived on a farm near Kaladar, and her husband worked in logging and construction. He worked at Sawyer Stoll in Northbrook for a time, and there was very little work in the area when the children were young, so he eventually began working in construction in Kingston, leaving every week on Monday morning and returning on Friday night as Merritta maintained the household. “It wasn’t easy,” Merritta said. The kids ended up going to school in Cloyne, and when her youngest was four, Merritta started working at the gas station in Northbrook (now the Northbrook Petrocan station). When her husband retired, she was talked into retiring as well. He died a number of years ago and Merritta moved to the Pine Grove apartment complex in Northbook,

where she lived for over 20 years before moving to Pine Meadow 3 years ago. With her characteristic dry humour, she said that at Pine Meadow “I get fed good and they don’t make me work,” although she does have to chair a meeting once a month since she is the President of the Resident Council at Pine Meadow. Although she does not leave the home every day, Merritta is active at the home, taking part in activities in and around the home. She also gets to Church when she can, having been a member of the congregation at the Bethel Pentecostal Church for many, many years, since long before the current church building was constructed in 1972. “Merritta is a wonderful asset to Pine Meadow and we look forward to many more celebrations with her!” said a release from Pine Meadow marking her birthday. She said that her memory is not as good as it used to be as she prepared to hang up the phone to leave for the Drop-In on Tuesday morning, her voice strong and assured. She must have had a pretty good one back in the day.

Vandals attack…begonias and gazanias? by Jeff Green

hil and Lorrette Gray of the Maples restaurant in Sharbot Lake can’t figure it out. Nor can Trina Wilson, the gardener who for

the last six years has been diligently working the garden beds that surround the restaurant. Starting pretty much as soon as she began transplanting annuals in June, Wilson noticed that some of them were being dug up. In July, when the plants were established and were filling out the gardens with colour, they started being dug up in earnest, one or two a night. It’s all pretty disheartening for Wilson and the Grays, who see the gardens as a way of beautifying both their own property and Sharbot Lake as a whole. “There are a lot of nice looking gardens in Sharbot Lake, and I wonder if they are being vandalised as well,” said Phil Gray. Trina Wilson points out some tiny geraniums that she has put into the largest of the garden beds after the gazanias and begonias that were in full flower had been dug up. And it is not only annuals that have been taken. A two-year-old purple coneflower that was coming into its own and a well-established sedum plant that was located next to it are gone as well. “You see they cut thought the sedum, may-

be it didn’t fit into their pot, so I could re-plant what was left,” said Wilson, pointing to the plant that is sitting in the middle of the empty spot that had been filled by the larger bush and the coneflower. Most of the other plants in front of the restaurant, including striking morning glories climbing up the banister by the front door, are set off by the lush perennial bushes that frame the property, demonstrating how nicely things had been coming along before thieves began lifting plants. “At first they were leaving holes, but lately they have been repairing the ground around the plants and leaving it looking as if nothing had been there,” said Wilson. “None of this makes a lot of sense, except if someone is transplanting these plants into their own garden,” said Lorette Gray, “but why would someone do that?” The Maples has reported the thefts to the OPP, but unless someone is caught in the act, it will be a hard crime to prove. In the summertime, Maples staff are generally in the restaurant from 7:30am until about 10:30pm since it is so busy, so the thefts are taking place in the dead of night. It’s disheartening for everyone involved.

Unhappy Gardener - Trina Wilson at the largest of the garden beds at the Maples. Where there once was a mid-summer feast of colour, there is only mulch and shrub“We pay for the plants, we pay Trina to take care of the garden all summer, and it is not something we do for profit as it has nothing to do with sales, but our customers like it and it is good for the community, and it’s nice to see flowers coming up in the summertime.

It adds so much colour. But we don’t really know what to do. This has never happened before,” said Phil Gray. If anyone has any information to share, call the Maples at 613-279-3200.

Election fever in North Frontenac? Only among Catholics by Craig Bakay

ince all of the positions for North Frontenac Council (Mayor Ron Higgins, Coun. Fred Perry, Wayne Good, Gerry Martin, Vernon Hermer, John Inglis and Fred Fowler) have been acclaimed, as well as Limestone District School Board trustee Karen McGregor and French Language Public School Board (Le Conseil des Ecoles Publiques de L’Est de L’Ontario) trustee Rachel Laforest, you might think there’s no election coming to North Frontenac Township this October. Not so fast. In the Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic

District School Board, Leslie Ford is challenging incumbent Wendy Procter and, in Le Conseil des Ecoles Catholiques de Langue Francaise du Centre-Est, Michel Charron is challenging incumbent Diane Burns. What that means is Clerk/Planning Manager Tara Mieske still has to go through the election planning exercise, albeit at a somewhat reduced scale. “Only the people who support (ie have indicated that’s where they want the school portion of their municipal taxes to go) the two contested school boards will be voting in

this election,” Mieske said. Of the 6,000 or so electors in the Township, about 800 have indicated their support for the two contested school boards. “I was a bit surprised we have that many, and that figure is based on 2014,” Mieske

July forest fire will result in $14,000 budget overage

entral Frontenac will look at putting some money into reserves to cover potential wild fires after this summer’s blaze July 12 to July 20 east of Arden Road to the Stone Mills Township boundary. In his report to Council’s regular meeting Tuesday in Sharbot Lake, Fire Chief Greg Robinson said that while there were no injuries due to the fire and no buildings lost, the Central Frontenac Fire department did suffer some equipment loss and the expenditure of consumables such as foam that could lead to an overage on the emergency response capital budget of about $8,000 and an overage of the operating budget of about $14,000. “Central Frontenac Fire and Rescue

Continued from page 2 results. As such, there are no more polling stations and people will vote over the telephone or internet (there will be a help centre at the municipal offices in Plevna). This is the same procedure as the 2014 election. “People who are eligible to vote will be receiving voting packages in the mail,” Mieske said. And, just like every other election, the Township will incur expenses. “In our contract (with Intellivote), we pay $1.25 for each elector letter sent out,” Mieske said. “but obviously, it will cost us less than in previous years (about $1,000) because we have a lot fewer letters to be sent out.” (CFFR) received direct firefighting assisassis tance from Ministry of Natural Resources fire rangers and helicopters, our mutual aid

partners from Stone Mills, South Frontenac, SINCE 1970 North Frontenac and Kingston Fire,” Robinson said. “CFFR firefighters worked long and hard hours during the eight days of firefighting and due to extreme dry conditions, the fire burned underground and traveled unseen through tree roots and rock crevices, making extinguishment very challenging. “During large wild fires, equipment gets destroyed or damaged and small items get lost (and) some of the equipment suffered damage due to being too old and not well maintained.” Robinson said a Mark 3 pump is unrepairable and represents a loss of $5,398. Other loses include a hose back pack, two hose stranglers, four nozzles, gated Wye, $1,836 worth of hose, $1,200 worth of foam, water and food for a total cost of $10,315 in losses. He said the destroyed and lost equipment has been replaced with newly purchased equipment through the emergency response equipment capital budget. While Council agreed to look at a new reserve fund, Treasurer Michael McGovern said that since it’s impossible to predict when these emergencies might occur, general reserves are usually used to make up such shortfalls. Waste Audit Central Frontenac will be participating in a “waste audit” Aug. 20-31, Council heard at its regular meeting Tuesday night in Sharbot Lake. Clerk-Administrator Cathy MacMunn told Council this is a County initiative and Central Frontenac was chosen as the test site to determine what’s going into landfills. Part

Mandatory septic redux Council passed a resolution asking staff to bring back a mandatory septic system inspection bylaw for a future Council meeting even though many of the details such as cost to residents ($100 of the expected $125 was mentioned) have yet to be worked out. Dep. Mayor Tom Dewey, who is a member of the committee studying the issue said they want to get the bylaw passed first and then settle on the details. Legion get tax break Council passed a bylaw to exempt the Legion branches in Sharbot Lake and Arden from the municipal (township and county) portion of their taxes for a further 10 years. Legions still pay the education portion of their taxes. Cemeteries to be assumed? Council asked for a report on whether or not to assume the St. Paul’s Zealand Cemetery. Concerns were raised as to how many other cemeteries there are in the Township in similar situations. Consensus was there are at least four or five. Shared Services Council also passed bylaws concerning a shared services agreement with North Frontenac and establishing the Kennebec Wilderness Trail. CBO search on again Council decided to continue advertising for a new Chief Building Official as they were looking for more qualifications than those of offered by the three applications they did receive. Alan Revill will continue in the job until a replacement is found.

of the exercise will be to look into garbage bags to determine if recycling is still being put into bags. “Should we be publicizing this?” said Coun. Bill MacDonald. “This could be a public relations issue if people come in and have their garbage examined?” “I think they want to see what’s going in the landfills on an ongoing basis,” said Mayor Frances Smith. MacMunn said the Oso (Crow Lake Road) site has been chosen for the audit and it was her understanding that people won’t have to wait around while their bags are checked. “They just want to have somebody open them up and audit what’s going in,” she said. Gap analysis Still with fire, Robinson said there will be one more report before his final one on the fire and emergency gap analysis. He said that many of the areas have and are being addressed but one area of concern is still the recruitment and retention of firefighters. “We’ve developed a training program but not yet implemented it,” Robinson said. “We’re still tweaking it and not yet getting sufficient ‘buy-in’. “We want to take baby steps with it but the first step is going to be a big change for our firefighters.” “The term you used, ‘buy-in,’ tweaked my interest,” said Coun. Phillip Smith. “How are you going to go about getting that?” “There’s a big section about that in the report,” Robinson said. “There’s a thing called trench culture. “People have been doing things in certain ways for years and fire services are notorious for that.”

• Recent comings and goings included Angie Deline and her childhood friend, Sandra Brooke, who came to visit. It was also good to see Ken & Susan Newton and Nancy Hornbeck. Our recent church breakfast "rocked" thanks to Ed Schlievert and all the cooks, including George and Marie White, Bob Zolcer, Terry Good, Sheila Deline, Elvira Peterson, Bonnie Weese, and Allan Gurnsey. Next breakfast happens on Sat., Sept. 1 – same time, same place – can’t wait! • Someone asked what made our Henderson-style french toast so special. The answer is good bread dipped in farm-fresh brown eggs that are especially fluffed up in a secret concoction to create a light and lively Henderson-style french toast that is never dry. Another part of it is that the chef, Ed Schlievert, drives all the way in from Ardoch to make these for us, and folks drive all the way from Kingston and beyond to eat them and visit “at home” in Henderson. Our folks drive clean to Smiths Falls to buy the sausage, and have special shops all over that provide the ingredients. It’s a real team effort indeed, and we are some thankful to the whole team and to all who attend and support our little white church on the corner. Also, a big shout-out to all who maintain the church flower beds and grass.Thank you.

Burger Day showcases local products available at farmers market

Chuck Belcher receives his ‘locavore’ from Kate Howes. Photo/Craig Bakay

or the past three years, one of the more popular events at the Sharbot Lake Farmers Market has been burger day. That’s the day they set up the barbecue and make you a locallysourced burger with (just about) all the trimmings coming from the area as well. “It’s as local as we can make it,” said burger barista Kate Howes, who took over this year as organizer

Help Your Child Work Through Their

Emotions

by Craig Bakay

from Dean Wedden. “They asked for a volunteer, so I volunteered,” she said. “We pushed it back a couple of weeks so we could have local tomatoes and lettuce. “Unfortunately, nobody’s onions were ready yet.” OK, so other than the onions, mustard and ketchup, everything comes from the area. First, you go see Kate and pay for your burger. You can have the basic burger for $5 (but really, isn’t the point to load it up with local veggies?) or the “locavore” for $5.50. Cheese from the Wilton Cheese Factory will bump your burger up to $6. Then you go over to Erik Zierer at the barbecue donated by the Masons Lodge and get your bun (from The Corner Bakery)

and your patty (from Tryon Farm and/or Whan Farm). Then you go back to Howes to have her load it up for you. The lettuce and tomatoes came from Learning Curve Garden and there were also sprouts (speckled pea micro shoots to be exact) from Unusual Acres. The final touch was relish and pickles from Maple Lim Farm. (And if you didn’t get the pickles…big mistake. Excellent pickles for a burger.) “And then you also get a (mini) butter tart from Simple and Sweet,” Howes said. Howes said the idea behind burger day is to showcase some of the local products available. It’s also kind of fun in a foodie sort of way.

he Grace community garden received a welcome boost this spring with the installation of a system to collect rooftop rainwater, store it and pump it to the garden using solar energy. The solar watering system was provided thanks to Food Banks Canada’s +Fresh Gardens and Growing Fund that is generously supported by Bayer Inc. and Compass Group Canada. “One of our goals as an organization is to move towards greater sustainability,” says Executive Director David Townsend. “This project is one small but tangible example of preserving rural water resources and still serving the community.” The storage system holds 2000 gallons of water, and the solar powered pump maintains continuous pressure in the watering lines. Volunteers who manage the 5000 square foot garden have a system of taps, hoses, and soaker hoses to keep the garden irrigated. “Having a permanent source of irrigation, and a sustainable one, makes working in the garden that much less strenuous,” says Vicki England, the Food Bank and Garden Coordinator. The Grace community garden is completely volunteer run, and yields fresh produce that is used by Southern Frontenac Community Service’s commercial kitchen to support 150 meals prepared each week for Diners Club and Meals on Wheels. The garden also supports up to 50 families per month who access the Southern Frontenac Food Bank. As England adds, “For the Food Bank, the garden is also a teaching moment. We take clients out to the garden to see the produce, and pick it themselves. There’s no better way to understand the role of fresh food than to choose and harvest your very own fresh vegetables.” Southern Frontenac Community Services expresses its appreciation for the financial grant from Food Banks Canada, supported by Bayer Inc. and Compass Group Canada.

Don’t miss the Parham Fair this weekend

he end of summer brings many things, and one of them is the 126th annual Parham Fair, which takes place this weekend, August 18th and 19th, at the Parham Fairgrounds. This year brings new features; Blackrock Climbing’s Obstacle Course, Jumpy Castle, and Cross-Fit Tower. Its not the only way to have some friendly competition with your friends and neighbours – the weekend is filled with events for everyone. For the kids, a Parham Fair weekend wouldn’t be complete without the egg toss and the pie eating contest. Sure, you might get a little messy, but victory is sweet, and this might be your year. There are many other games to compete in as well. On Sunday’s pet show, show off your dog, cat, or anything you call a pet. Many kids around Parham are spending this week with nets trying to catch the fastest jumping frogs for the Frog Jumping Contest. As memories serve, this is a finely tuned balance of species, size, and instinct! Of course, others are completing their crafts and baking for the Palace competition, right alongside their parents and grandparents. The Palace shows off all the talent our community has to offer – everything from cookies, and quilts, photography to giant zucchinis. The judging wraps up around noon on Saturday, and a line-up can be seen for anxious competitors waiting to see who has come out on top this year! If you have always thought about entering – this is your year. Memberships can be purchased at Hope’s General Store for $10, which covers all entries. Items for the Palace need to be dropped off at the fairgrounds between 5 -8pm on Friday evening. If you still haven’t purchased your membership, you can also do it when you drop off your exhibits. The Cattle Show begins bright and early on Saturday. Even if you know nothing about cows, its pretty fun to try and pick the winners. Everyone has worked very hard with their animals to prepare them for the event, and its great to see their hard work pay off. In the afternoon, stick around for the Horse Draw. Choose your favourite team and cheer them on, as the weight is added and added again. Maintaining and training these horses is a labour of love, and watching them work together is always wonderful.

Authorized Agent For:

Treegap Farm. There will also be someone there to tell you about the animals all day. New to the fair this year is a Silent Auction and Toonie Raffle. Generous craftspeople and business owners have donated many

items to bid on. Visit the Fair’s Facebook page to see some of the lots that are being offered and come visit the Palace, on Saturday, to place a bid or play. All proceeds from both events go to the Parham Agricultural Society and will contribute to next year’s fair. Live music is always a staple at the fair. This year, the music starts at 3:30 and features the talents of several local artists. First in the line-up is folk singer Chris Morris, who performs original work as well as a wide range of popular musicians from Pete Seeger to Bob Dylan. Next up is local favourite fiddle sensation Jessica Wedden, who will be performing with Reilly Donnelly, a talented young country and rock musician. Rounding out the musical line-up is local band After the News, with their folk-rock set. Featuring band members Lee Casement, James Robert Young, Shaun Weima, & Mike Verner, it’s going to be a great way to close down Saturday night at the fair. Sunday at the fair brings the much-loved Demolition Derby. Run for the second year by Dave Cox and Mitch McVeigh, it features four different classes of automotive destruction. Always a popular event, the entire day of the fair is devoted to the Derby.

Community finds honour and strength in traditions such as plowing match A

by Catherine Reynolds

farm is more than land and crops. It’s a family’s heritage and future. Speaking from their century farmhouse in Battersea where three generations of dairy farmers toil the fields and manage a herd of Holsteins, the Sleeth family is proud of its past and excited about the future. “We’ve been here 99 years,” says Ron Sleeth, patriarch of the family. “The house and farm are more than 100 years old.” Listening to the sounds of the pasture from his sunroom on an early Sunday morning in late July, Sleeth, 74, pauses while drinking his morning coffee. He smiles when asked about his 17-year-old grandson who is the family’s seventh generation farmer.

A recent graduate of Sydenham High School, Brody Sleeth is continuing the family tradition of farming; securing their agriculture future. He also plans to compete in this year’s Frontenac County Plowing Match on Aug. 25. “I’m very proud that we have someone to continue to run the family farm. “In so many cases today, there isn’t someone to take over the family farm. When my generation is done, the farm is done.” In the barn most mornings by 6 am, Brody is a somewhat unusual teenager. Using money he saved from working on the farm and plowing snow over the winter, he bought

his first tractor one-month after graduating from high school. It sits in the yard like a beacon of hope for agriculture in Frontenac County. “Unfortunately, the agricultural community is diminishing as fewer farms are moving to the next generation,” says Sleeth who understands the importance of his grandson’s career choice. “When you look around, we’re down to less than 40 dairy farms in Frontenac County now. When I started milking 33 years ago, there was around 100. When you think about the number of farms ceasing to move to the next generation, it’s a troubling trend.” Born and raised on the farm, Brody is tall

auGuSt 16, 2018 Frontenac plowing match - Continued from page 10 and strong. He doesn’t notice the dirt on his workpants from milking the cows that morning. It is a common sight for him since he started working on the farm 10 years ago. “It feels great. I like the new developments in the agriculture business. I also enjoy meeting new people and the science of dairy cattle genetics. You can increase your production so easy with good cows.” Brody talks with an enthusiasm that defies his age. It is rare to see someone so young find their passion so early. He smiles as he talks about herd management, crop production and equipment maintenance. “I’d like to increase our production to 60-head with an addition to our old tie-style barn,” he replies when asked about his future plans. Equipped with a new four-furrow Overrum plow purchased last spring, Brody will join other farmers at the Frontenac County Plowing Match in August. It will be his first time plowing competitively. “I’m looking forward to it,” he says about the practice that requires concentration, a steady hand and repetition. “I’m proud to be a part of the agricultural community,” he adds “It’s a family and it’s important for more people take an interest in family farming. Otherwise, our food is going to come from large-scale factory farms and we’ll lose the small

farm values the dairy industry is built-on.” Clearly proud of this grandson’s interest in agriculture, Sleeth appreciates the traditions carried on by the farming community. “I think the plowing match is an important part of the local community,” he explains. “It brings farmers and the community together to see the almost lost art of plowing. Plowing a straight furrow isn’t easy and it’s great to see people do it well.” Speaking from his beef farm a short distance away, Martin Oomen is grateful to see young farmers like Brody participate in the plowing match. “I love it,” he exclaims. “I want to see 20-people plowing out there this year. That’s my goal.” President of the Frontenac County Plowmen’s Association for the past four years, Oomen is working hard to organize the plowing match at 3118 Sunbury Road. He hopes to increase the number of plowmen this year from the 16 people who competed last year. To be held on Aug. 25 from 9:30 am to 3 pm on a field owned by Charlie and Colleen Sloan, the match is an opportunity for farmers to showcase their ability to work the land. Admission is free and includes live music by Adam Knapp and informative displays by local businesses and organizations. Food will be available at a nominal cost. “I like to embrace a challenge,” says the president about

his active lifestyle and the upcoming match which he plans annually with a team of volunteers. “I love farming and I love growing crops. It’s a very rewarding way of life,” he explains. “I also love working with a group of people who are passionate about what they do.” Smiling warmly, Oomen notes, “Even if you’re not a farmer, come out and enjoy some country hospitality.” To participate in the upcoming Frontenac County Plowing Match, please contact Martin Oomen at 613-583-4761 or martyo@kingston.net

NFLT Summer Camp

ine aspiring young actors participating in a drama camp sponsored by NFLT this August. Tim White, choreographer and director, coordinated a drama program for the kids along with co-facilitator Barb Scantlebury. I enjoyed watching what they had been working on one day last week.. Their introductory song and dance number will definitely be a show stopper. It is a mashup of four songs from The Greatest Showman, and the kids were doing very well with the choreography that Tim provided. The campers have chosen to perform a scene from two previous productions. One scene is from the show Aladdin and the other is from the recent spring show this year,

VACATIONING IN SOUTH FRONTENAC? Nothing can compare to a week at the lake in South Frontenac where we have an abundance of clear lakes, beautiful trails and great cycling. The one thing that can dampen your vacation is the unsightly mess of a can or a plastic bag floating by or the sounds of wildlife munching happily on garbage that was not properly disposed of. We hope you enjoy your stay but ask that you please have regard for our Garbage and Recycling policies. Dumping garbage at the side of the road or at the gates of a landfill on a Sunday night is not only unacceptable, it creates a huge problem for township staff when their time could be better spent elsewhere. Find out the proper collection day for your location and please do not put it out prior to that, the animals may thank you but what they don’t eat will be strewn around and someone must clean it up! Whether you are a cottage owner, a renter or day tripper, please become familiar with collection dates and locations, as well as our recycle streams. By all means, take your memories with you but please don’t leave your garbage behind!

Cloyne art show been helping students for 46 years by Craig Bakay

he Cloyne Showcase Art & Craft Sale just turned 46, and although the number of exhibitors was down slightly this year, most of the exhibitors reported they were doing just fine, boding well for the future of the show. “I’ve been coming here consistently for 14 years and it’s always been reasonably good,” said woodcrafter Ken Waller. “People have been coming up to me saying ‘I bought a bowl from you years ago.’ “I tell them, ‘good, you probably need another one now.’” The show, which has always been a fundraiser for the North Addington Education Centre to secure art supplies for its students, continues that tradition. “It’s also a way for students to show off their works,” said organizer/art teacher Katie Ohlke. “The students have two tables here.” It’s always been that way, said Eileen Flieler, who taught at the school for 20 years and was involved in the first show. “This started as a way to display works of students,” she said. “I was involved in that first one and I helped out with the posters. “I was also in the show for several years with teddy bears and crib cults. “I still put up posters — all the way from Myer’s Cave to Arden.” And then there’s Marion Young, who at 89 still displays her hooked rugs and wall hangings. She proudly displays a patch that proclaims “Love Those Hookers.” “In those early days, you knew everybody and you had to be a local taxpayer to get a table,” she said. “Then about 12-15 years ago, they opened it up for everybody.” Gwynneth, who has been painting oils in an impasto technique (“I have 50 palette knives”) has returned to the show after a long sabbatical. “I used to be here from ’76 to ’83,” she said. “Last year was the first one back since ’83.” And then there’s Bill Vanwart. Despite painting for 40 years, teaching art for 30 years (of which five were spent at NAEC), this was not only his first time at this show, it was his first show, period.

“Yeah, I taught here, Odessa, Napanee, even Northern Manitoba,” he said. “I sometimes wonder how things would have been if I’d lived in Toronto or Montreal.” That’s a good question. Vanwart is one of those rare finds you sometimes see at the various art/craft shows and you wonder where he’s been hiding all these years. His acrylic technique shows a gift for render rendering, be it people, landscape or animals (he had an excellent moose on display). One series features various characters playing hockey on frozen ponds. “I’m interested in the ice,” he said. But what made Vanwart stand out was his series of surrealistic dancers, flights of fancy that bring to mind Chagall or Dali. “I started doing those in university sketchbooks,” he said. “It only takes about a day to paint one once I finally got around to doing it.” Serious art collectors might want to make a note of Bill Vanwart.

NFLT - Continued from page 11 The Little Mermaid. The kids have learned their lines quickly and this Monday had to rehearse without scripts. Tim and Barb are putting them through their paces in a very limited time-frame. This Thursday, (ie today) they will present their show at the band shell at Sharbot Lake beach as part of the entertainment for people attending the Community BBQ. The show will begin at 5:30 and go till approximately 6pm. It is time to start putting together a production crew for our fall show entitled “The Red Plaid Shirt” by Canadian playwright Michael Wilmot. We need a director (experienced), producer, set designer, and stage crew. This play has a small cast of two females and two males of retirement age. It is a comedy based on the theme of facing retirement.
