This was one of the biggest Silver Lake Powwows yet, certainly in terms of colourful regalia and the number of dancers

Anne Marie Wilson remembered at Silver Lake Pow Wow by Craig Bakay

“A

lot of things were different this year,” Silver Lake Powwow organizer said. “Shabot Obaadjiwan gave us some funding and so we didn’t charge for admission to the Powwow, only donations. “We were too busy to take a head count but by 2:30 p.m. there were 100 cars parked across the highway at the smoke shop. There just was no parking left in the park.” One thing that was quite noticeable the minute you stepped through the gate was the colourful regalia. Not only were there more participants, but it seemed like their regalia was more elaborate than in recent memory. Often, the dance circle was a sea of magnificent colours the like of which

hasn’t been seen before. Danka Brewer, who served as announcer said there was more word of mouth and advertising this year but she had another theory that contributed to the full arena this year. “I think a lot of dancers came out to show their respect and support for Annmarie Wilson, who passed away earlier this year,” she said. “I’ve been involved with the Powwow committee maybe 20 years and I’ve only seen it like this maybe once or twice. “For the Grand Entry both days, the Flag and Eagle staff Carriers had to wait at the Eastern Entrance while all the danc-

ers filed into the arena.” And while the weather was quite hot, the arena was busy, with many dancers joining in, taking a break to get some water and/or sit a minute, and then joining back in. The heat becomes a factor when you consider everything the dancers are wearing but still they continued on. “It’s a workout, for sure,” Brewer said. “Anishinaabe aerobics.” But, she said, regalia forms a big part in the spirit of a powwow. “When you see Native dancers in regalia, that’s their best dress,” she said. “Many are wearing deer hide dresses, shawls,

leggings, moccasins, breast plates, feather bustles, chaps. “In many cases, that can add up to more than 20 pounds and the songs they dance to last five minutes on average.” So why do they do it? “It’s a spirit journey,” Brewer said. “It’s prayer time and you’re dancing on behalf of the Creator.” All in all, the organizers were quite pleased with the way things went at the 24th annual Powwow, even if it was exhausting for many of them. “We were worked to the bone,” Brewer said, chuckling. “I’m going to need two weeks to recover.”

Hogg wamts more doctors, broadband and cell coverage by Craig Bakay here are two major issues facing Addington Highlands in the upcoming election this October says incumbent candidate for Reeve Henry Hogg. Hogg has been Reeve in Addington Highlands since 1985 and was acclaimed only once during all those elections.This time around he is running against Alice Madigan. “One of the biggest issues we face is the lack of available doctors,” Hogg said. “We’ve been working with neighbouring North Frontenac to offer incentives for doctors to locate here and did attract two

doctors but one has since left. “We don’t seem to be able to compete with indoor swimming pools and big city life. “On the other hand, I chose to live here 45 years ago.” He said the No. 2 issue is the inconsistency of broadband and cell phone coverage. “I guess you can never cover everything and through the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus we’ve been involved with the Eastern Ontario Regional Network but anything north of Bon Echo Park it’s almost non-existent,” Hogg said. “We have

a couple of towers in the Township but obviously it’s not enough.” There are a couple of other issues he plans to work on if re-elected as well. “I was at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference and talked to a lot of people,” he said. “Some municipalities are getting stumpage fees on Crown Land. “We’re about 75 per cent Crown Land here.” He said he’d also like to improve communication with Township residents and that relates to improved broadband as well.

And then there’s the closure of landfill sites. “The Kaladar site has to be dealt with,” he said. “But the Ministry of the Environment makes the rules and we have to follow them.” He said he’d also like to see more “banking options” in the area and will work on that as well. Other than that, Hogg said he’s proud of how fiscally responsible the Township has been and pledged to continue that. “I think we’re thought of as being prudent in that regard,” he said. “We don’t

Sydenham woman among those fighting Ontario wildfires for MNR-F

iranda Given picked the right summer to seek a job as a forest firefighter if she wanted to be out in the bush a lot, and also have to do a lot of heavy lifting and carrying, which fortunately suits her really well She talked to the News over the phone this week from Sydenham while on a two day break after 8 days fighting fires. A couple of times this summer she has worked 19 days in a row as the season literally heated up. The Sydenham resident spent the winter in Guatemala and Mexico after doing a degree in Biology, with a minor in Global development, and is headed to California for a 31/2 year program in Chiropractic medicine. She said that a friend of hers thought that working with the Ministry of Natural Resources firefighting service would be be a good fit for her. She took the necessary training course and was hired on. She works on a four member crew in Haliburton, one of twelve crews covering the Eastern Ontario re-

gion. “We were doing training mostly in April, and went to our first fire in May,” she said. “It’s been a really good fit for me since I love the outdoors and I enjoy the physical challenge.” The most physical part of the job is the initial attack when the crew is dropped off at a fire by helicopter. They need to haul all the equipment to the nearest water source, set up the pump and carry 55 pound hose packs through the bush to get the hose in place to fight the fire. Most of the firefighters working for the service are men, and Miranda is the only woman on her crew. Once they are set up it is not as demanding. They do work from dawn until dusk, and then settle down for the night of camping out each day. She has enjoyed the job enough to have signed on for an extra couple of weeks, as the fire season continues to be a long and hard one. “It hasn’t left me a lot of time to spend at home this summer with family and friends,

Continued from page 1

The Frontenac News also tried to offer Hogg’s opponent for Reeve, Alice Madigan, the opportunity to answer the same questions and left several messages on her answering machine. We did finally reach her Tuesday morning, but she said she was too busy at the time. We called again later in the day and reached her answering machine again. We will try again for next week.

have extra staff in the office and we don’t have a fancy new municipal office building — even though that was talked about at one time.” Hogg said that the day-to-day operations of the Township are always paramount in his mind. “There’s always stuff to do,” he said. “You’re never finished with Township business.”

so when I have been off I have made sure to make the most of that time,” she said. After she is done at the end of the first week of September she will have a week at home before heading to an intensive program in California, where a 5 year program is condensed into 31/2 years with no

extended breaks. “It means I won’t be able to work summers for the fire service after this one, so I am enjoying the work while I am still there,” she said as she prepared to head back to fighting wildfires for the MNR-F.

NF passes fees bylaw amendments, speed limits

fter hearing from a delegation concerning the infestation of Eurasian milfoil on Malcolm Lake, North Frontenac Council passed a number of bylaws and resolutions at its regular meeting last Friday in Plevna. First up was changes to its Fees and Charges Bylaw and Building Bylaw to reflect a new fee structure recommended by the building department. The new fees are intended to recognize different types of construction including unique projects and the conjecture is that more than 50 per cent of new permits will feature lower costs and thus encourage reporting of smaller projects. The new bylaws also include provisions to allow residents to protest their fees and request an audit of costs involved when there is a disagreement. Council also passed changes to speed

limits within the Township reducing the limit to 60 kph in the Hamlets of Coxvale, Mississippi Station and Fernleigh. Limits were reduced to 50 kph in the Hamlet of Harlowe and parts of the Hamlets of Ompah (from 0.4 km west of Canonto Road west fro 1.2 km) and Ardoch (from 1.2 km from the west Hamlet boundary to the Smith Road) and to 40 kph in parts of the Hamlets of Plevna (Road 506 from the Village Sign to a point 500 metres east of Mountain Road on Road 509) and Ompah (commencing 0.3 km west of West Palmerston Drive easterly for 1 km). Council had planned to pass a resolution on draft energy policy but decided to wait until the Province’s new policies on the Green Energy Act are more well-defined. Council did pass an agreement with Central Frontenac Township regarding

building department services. Finally, Council defeated a resolution to ask County Council for $2,500 in additional funding for a feasibility study for a seniors housing project in North Frontenac (total cost $7,500 + HST). The additional funds would be earmarked for stay-at-options. “Let’s just get the bricks and mortar assessment option done and then work at stay-at-home,” said Coun. John Inglis. “There’s already $5,000 approved for that.” Higgins happy after AMO In his report on the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, Mayor Ron Higgins was optimistic that there could be progress on the business education tax gap, whereby businesses in some municipalities pay more than other municipalities. “(Ontario Finance Minister) Vic Fedeli said he hadn’t even heard of it, so he’ll

Business as usual after election for acclaimed Mayor Smith by Craig Bakay

entral Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith admits to taking a bit of a holiday this summer when it comes to planning for the next Council in November. After all, she won’t be facing an election herself, having been acclaimed as Mayor and as such hasn’t had to prepare a platform. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been thinking about things to come. “For us, there will be a lot of things in the fire,” she said. “First, there’s working on a seniors housing complex. “The septic reinspection program is ongoing as is updating the Official Plan.” But first, there is that little matter of an election to attend to. “We’re going to have at least one new councilor (from Olden),” she said. “And we could have as many as four new councilors (two from Olden, one from Kennebec and one from Hinchin-

brooke). “If that happens, we’ll have to have some orientation and training sessions.” One other thing she’s been thinking a lot about is economic development. “I think we have to work more with the business community,” Smith said. “I think a lot of good things came out of the gathering at (W.A.) Robinson’s earlier this summer. “We may look at revamping our Economic Development Committee but I don’t think the business community wants much from the municipality. “They just want us to look seriously at development that will help and advance the community.” And, she said, she’d also like to work more closely with the Frontenac Community Development Futures Corporation. “Ann Prichard does a good job and

I think there’s potential there,” Smith said. Other than that Smith’s looking ahead to the day-to-day operations of running a township. “We’ll be buzzing along as we have been,” she said. “We’ll be doing the best we can to keep taxes down and roads fixed up. “We got the Tryon Road done but we know we have work to do on the Crow Lake Road and the Henderson Road and the Zealand Road needs some work too.” So, for Smith, it will be business as usual once the election is done. “We’ve had a good Council for four years and I look forward to having a good Council for the next four years,” she said. “I hope we’ll have a lot of good thinkers.”

look into it,” Higgins said. Higgins said he met with several Provincial ministers and departments and said things look promising for more broadband/cell phone coverage, possible stumpage fees on Crown Lands and the potential for wetlands to be classified as Township assets and used for flood control. “That (wetlands as Township assets) could end up costing us,” said Coun. Wayne Good. Telescope Council accepted the donation of a telescope from Lisa Goos, to be used at Star Pad events. “It will be stored and brought out for events,” said manager of community development Corey Klatt. “A member of the economic development task force is at each event.” By-Town motorcyle assn' Council approved a “one-time discount” for the By-Town Motorcycle Association to use a part of a Township access road for its Calabogie Boogie event. The group discount amounts to 30 per cent meaning the cost will be $8.75 per user. “This is a one-time experiment,” said Mayor Ron Higgins. “So advise your users not to tear up the roads.”

• Wishing everyone Safe and Happy Labour Day weekend! A lot of people may not know the reason behind Labour Day, so I googled it. The reason we observe this weekend as a holiday is that it is a public holiday or day of festivities held in honor of working people, in the US and Canada and it always falls on the first Monday in September. So this being said if you happen to visit a retailer or anywhere else where someone is working on the holiday Monday, give them a thanks for working that day so you could be there. Thank you to all the local businesses in Sydenham who will be open on Labour Day for the locals and tourists to enjoy their last real long weekend of summer. • Got your best poker face on? And your boat ready for the 2nd Annual Poker Run on Sydenham Lake? Decorate your boat up if you can. It could be fun, be sure to take photos too, make some memories. Sept 1st is the scheduled date (with Sept 2nd or 3rd being reserved in case of rain or bad weather) Reminder this is not a race, it’s a fun event. A great excuse to get out and enjoy the lake for what it has to offer, and have some fun building a poker hand along the way, meet your neighbours, or even just meet the wonderful people who live or cottage on Sydenham Lake. • The Start time is 12:30 pm, with 7 docks set up to get your cards from, $2 per card. Anyone in the boat can play! 4:30pm is the finish time with prizes to be awarded at 5pm. If you partake in this event, maybe you can post photos on the Sydenham, Ontario Facebook page for all to enjoy! • Wishing all those who celebrate birthdays in the month of Sept a happy birthday, don’t forget if you wish to wish someone a happy birthday or highlight a milestone event, shoot me a line. • I’m pretty sure I don’t need to remind parents or kids that school starts Tuesday, but a good reminder to put out there is that there will be bus presence as well as children crossing roads to go to and from school. • Save your empties to help out the Frontenac Fury Bantam Crunch Team, they will be holding a bottle drive on Sept 22 from 8:30am - 1:00 pm in Sydenham, Harrowsmith, Verona,

re you a senior with a lifetime of memories you’d like to share? You know you’ve got a story inside of you — perhaps a memoir or a multi-generation family history.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Milligan Meats in Cloyne A

year ago Brian and Joanna Milligan decided they wanted to open a butcher shop in Cloyne. It had taken a long time to decide this was what they wanted to do. Brian worked as a butcher for Quinn’s abattoir in Yarker when he was young but had gone on to do other things. Joanna had her own path as well, but they both ended up together in Cloyne on a rural property. And they got married on July 5th, 2017. Brian had returned to working at Quinn’s a couple of days a week, “and although I liked the work, this time I knew I had to find something else for myself, and I told Brian Quinn that I wasn’t going to be back working full time for him. I knew that people missed having a butcher in Cloyne ever since Cloyne Village Foods closed, and people encouraged us to think about opening one” said Brian last week, during a lull in the now thriving shop. Once they realised opening their own shop was what they wanted to do, finding a location was the next step, and that took some time. The former Cloyne Home Hardware store is located really close to their Snider Road property but it was not the first place they looked at. “We thought it was a much larger building than we needed,” said Joanna. But when other opportunities fell through, eventually they took a look at it again, figuring they could use as much of the building as they needed at first, and find something that fits in the rest of it. In February, they took a final look, and consulted with the people at the Prince Edward/Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC). “They really encouraged us. They looked at our numbers and said it could work, and helped with funding as well,” said Joanna. By the end of February they had purcased the building, and from then on it has been a constant string of long days and short sleeps. They carved out a third of the building for the butcher shop, sold off or moved everything into another part of the building they are now using for storage, built a butcher shop and retail area, and were ready and approved to open by July, a quick turnaround. The store area is painted in deep reds and black, giving the store a very contemporary feel. “I wanted to open an Irish Pub and Brian wanted a butcher shop, so I made a shop that feels like a pub,” said Joanna, who designed the store. “The butcher shop is visible from the front, however, and it is bright and clean. They just missed opening on Canada Day weekend, and opened instead on the

5th of July, their anniversary. “We really wanted to be open right at the start of summer, but given how busy we were when we opened on the 5th, I’m kind of glad we missed the long weekend,” said Brian. Since they have opened, they have been overwhelmed by the community support they have received. “We are committed to quality, custom cuts, talking to people about what they want to eat, and bringing in the best products, not only the meat, which we get from Quinn’s, but cheese and other products as well, and people have really responded to that. They want us to succeed and they appreciate the efforts we are making,” said Brian. As the summer begins to wind down, Joanna and Brian are finally taking the opportunity to start thinking about the winter phase of their business. One of the first jobs will be to complete the construction and licensing of a second work space for a wild meat abattoir in time for moose and deer season. “That’s a service we know is needed in this community and the region as well,” said Brian. Other work will be done on bringing other specialty food in for customers. “We would love to be able to offer local wine or beer to customers, just like we want to be able to offer local food, but that is not going to happen in Ontario just now,” said Joanna, “but we will be working on web promotions, putting together different meat orders for people, a bunch of things that we haven’t had a chance to do

Staff at Milligan Meats

because the summer has been so busy we have really only been trying to keep up.” One thing that hasn’t been rushed at Milligan’s is service. Not only are the staff engaged with customers, Brian likes to use some added touches reminiscent of the old idea of a village butcher shop. “I thought, from the start, that I would use butcher paper and string, instead of tape. It doesn’t take a lot longer to wrap a piece of meat in paper and grab string off a roll, tie it and cut the string instead of slapping on tape, and I like doing it. Customers like it as well, even young ones who don’t

remember the way butcher shops used to be,” said Brian. Joanna and Brian see their shop, and some of the other efforts people are making in business, as a new beginning for Cloyne and area. They hope to find another business to use the rest of the building in time, but before they do that they are focusing on making Milligan’s meats a success. And one year after coming up with the idea, they have already made an impressive start.

At Mapleridge Farm – It’s all about everything B

ecky Williams and Mark McCrady enjoy their summers. Becky no longer goes out to work in the corporate world and Mark is a grade 8 teacher at Loughborough Public School, so they both get to spend time at home with nothing much to do except tend to their animals, grow some flowers, and make some improvements to the 90 acre farm property that they purchased 8 years ago. The thing is, however, the approach they have taken to farming is labour intensive, and requires constant innovation and adjustment, so there isn’t a lot, or any, time to lounge around. They raise purebred Berkshire pigs for meat, which is not that uncommon among the artisanal farm community, but the breed of cattle they raise, Dexter, is. And the choice of Dexter is tied in with the intensive pasturing program they have developed on their property, where fully 83 of the 90 acres are being used for agriculture. They tap some of the Maple trees on the other 7 acres to make syrup for their own use, so there is very little wasted space on the entire property. Dexter cattle are a heritage breed originating in Ireland, and the first you notice about them is their size. “They are 2/3 the size of most other breeds, and they are ideal to raise as grass fed animals,” said Mark McCrady as we walked through the herd when I visited the farm last week at the end of another busy day for the farming family. The animals are looking very slick, with rich reddish-brown, black or dunn coloured coats, lots of muscle, and they are indeed smaller than more common breeds. The average Dexter cow is 40 plus inches tall and weighs approx. 750 pounds. Even when compared to some of the smaller beef cattle breeds such as Hereford they are light. Her-

efords cows can weigh 1,000 pounds, and larger breeds such as Angus are heavier yet. Some breeds such as Charolais jump up from there, to 1,500 pounds or more. “My son is into a breeding program, and you can see his cattle over there,” Mark said, pointing to some larger, mixed cattle in another small, fenced in pasture, “but for the beef that we market, Dexter is ideal.” Many breeds of cattle do not produce optimal meat when raised entirely on grass, according to McCrady, and their diet is often supplemented with grain and corn before they go to market. But one of the features of the Dexter cattle is they need less grass and hay to begin with, and their meat is rich, flavourful and naturally marbled without needing grain or corn at all. (I tried a sample of the Maple Ridge Dexter beef, and Berkshire bacon, purely for journalistic purposes of course, and the flavor and texture is unsurpassed, approaching the richness of moose meat). Becky and Mark practice rotational grazing which means they move their herd frequently through small sections of pasture, sometimes daily, to do this they make liberal use of a movable electric fencing system they have put in place. “That way the animals are always eating the freshest grass. They will always eat the best grass first, but by keeping them in smaller sections they tend to eat everything at that point we move them on to a new section. By moving them to a new section, the grass the cattle just grazed can recover and regrow more quickly and will be grazed again later in the season,” said Mark and Becky while explaining the pasturing system they use on their farm. This is combined with altering both the cattle, pigs, laying hens and the meat chickens they raise on different fields. They also use green manure crops to rejuvenate the fields. over the 8 years that they have been on the Maple

Dexter Cattle at Mapleridge Ridge property, these techniques have resulting in soil improvements in what was certainly not prime agricultural land. They even maximize the fertilizing value of the manure; pig, cattle, and chicken, as part of the integrated operation. They are so committed to the quality of their land for pasture, that they purchase much of their hay to keep more land for pasturing. A lot of what happens on the farm, springs from the relationship the McCrady family, which includes sons Ben and Mitchell, his with the property itself. Mark recalls that when they were starting out as a family in the early 1990’s they looked at the property, which is one of three farms in a row that have similar 1820’s vintage limestone houses on them. Mark said they were originally built by the McRory family, one of whom was the first Reeve of Loughborough Township. “At the time the house needed a lot of work, and we were not ready to take all that on as well as our careers and family, so we bought a smaller property on Stagecoach Road, where Becky could have horses. But we never forgot about it. And 15 or so years later, horses brought them back to the Alton Road farmhouse. “The owner called me to come up and look at one of his horses, and afterwards we sat at the kitchen table, and he said he couldn’t keep this property anymore. We made a deal at the table, with the only catch being the sale of our Stagecoach Road property. But that

happened really easily as well, and here we are.” The property has required a lot of work over 8 years to get to the state it is in now, and the work continues, but the main commitment to treating animals well and practicing regenerative farm practices has been a driving force for the family farm. Maple Ridge sells most of their meat, their main product, to a core group of consumers who order through their website (www. mapleridge-farm.ca). They deliver to homes in Kingston and people pick up at the farm as well. Often, new customers come out to see the farm and learn a bit about how the meat is produced. For the last three years Maple Ridge has also been growing and selling flowers and foliage to florists and market bouquets to grocery stores in the area, putting their farming energy and principles into another enterprise, one that springs from Becky’s background. They use the greenhouse at her mother’s farm near Glenburnie for seeding some of the flowers that they plant out in the early summer. “There is a big movement towards local flowers along with local food,” said Becky. Maple Ridge supplies flowers for weddings and other events in season, adding another layer to their business. It all adds up to a lot of activity and effort on the farm, including keeping honey bees, raising chickens for meat and eggs, and more. Becky puts out a weekly blog for the Maple Ridge email list, and the farm has developed a loyal following while keeping out of the public eye for the most part. But that will change a bit when they take part in Open Farms Infrontenac on September 9th from 10-4pm.

A problem with no solution?

MALLA sounds the alarm again about Eurasian Milfoil N orth Frontenac Council certainly paid attention to what members of the Malcolm and Ardoch Lake Association (MALLA) had to say last Friday morning. (August 24). In a 20 minute presentation, MALLA president Glen Fowler was joined by vice president Brenda Martin, Cathy Owen and two subject experts who have property on the lake, marine biologists Bud Griswold and Mary Gessner. They outlined not only the alarming increase in the spread of the milfoil on the shallow lake this year, but also the research they have done about how to try and manage infestations of the seemingly innocuous plant. When it gets established, the milfoil forms a thick intertwined mat just below surface, capable of stopping the motor in a boat that tries to pass through it. It was originally brought to North America by the aquarium industry, and when someone dumped an aquarium into a lake in the US Midwest, the Milfoil began its march through cottage country, aided by boats that are transported from lake to lake by boaters looking for new adventures and fishing opportunities. The plant takes root at the bottom of the lake, and therefore it is not a problem in deeper water. In shallow areas of deep lakes, however, and in major portions of shallow lakes such as Malcolm and Ardoch, it can become established and at that point it is difficult, if not impossible, to manage using current techniques. It typically grows in 2-4 metres of water, but can grow in depths up to 10 metres. Like so many garden weeds, breaking off bits of the plant only aid in its propagation, the only way to kill it is to pull it out by the roots, which is difficult in 5 metre deep water. And, according to Brenda Martin, once established in a hospitable lake, it can flourish.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A patch that was 10â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; by 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which we were planning to do a pilot project on, has now grown to be 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by 900â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, too large for that original plan,â&#x20AC;? she said to Council. Mary Gessner contacted the Lake Association from Big Cedar Lake in the Kawartha Lakes, which has been working on this problem for years, to see how their management efforts had progressed. She reported that Big Cedar Lake invested in weevil stocking. Together with Trent University they have stocked 320,000 milfoil weevils, which only feed on milfoil plants, both native milfoils, which do not present a threat, and the Eurasian Milfoil as well. After a 5 year project, the Big Cedar study concluded that while there were some indications of a die back of milfoil, it inevitably recovered the following year. The weevil, at least on its own, is not a solution. As well, they were expensive and in fact are no longer available on the commercial market. Other control methods have their own problems. Mechanical removal is labour intensive and may backfire if it leads to fragments that can float off and establish new colonies by rooting somewhere else, chemical controls tend to effect everything in the lake, which is counter to the goal of protecting habitat from the milfoil. It is not exactly a solution, but the most promising control that both the Big Cedar and MALLA Associations are looking at now, is burlap. The idea is to blanket the bottom of the lake and physically block the progress of the plant from the root on up. MALLA is keen to try this control, using fish habitat bundles to hold down the burlap. Burlap biodegrades over time, so its long term impact on the lake is minimal. Although burlap would block out everything, the idea is that the other species

Eurasian Milfoil in Ardoch Lake would recover once the millfoil is, if not eradicated, at least curtailed. MALLA has instituted a 12 point action plan. It starts with seeking support from the municipality and educating property owners throughout the township, particularly those living on lakes that are affected. It extends to seeking cooperation from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for a pilot project with a burlap blanket, and seeking partnerships with other bodies, and applying for funding from a number of sources to carry out their initiatives. MALLA will also be approaching Granite Ridge Education Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Above and Beyondâ&#x20AC;? drone program in order to track vegetation on the lake. Glenn Fowler brought information about the milfoil to a meeting of the North Frontenac Lake Association Alliance in early August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From that meeting, I can inform Council that at least 7 lakes in the township, other than Malcolm and Ardoch, are reporting they have the Eurasian Milfoil in their lake,â&#x20AC;?

he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are: Big Gull, Canonto, Mosque, Palmerston, Kashwakamak, Brule, and the Mississippi River.â&#x20AC;? One of the MALLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests was for Council to apply whatever pressure they can on the MNR-F to handle their application for a permit to try using burlap on Ardoch Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had plans for a pilot project with the burlap this summer, but have been waiting for MNR-F to approve the application we made to them for a pilot project. We hand delivered our application in July and we have phoned often since then to ask them when they are going to deal

with our application but nothing has happened,â&#x20AC;? said Brenda Martin. MALLA also asked for $10,000 for them to partner with Watersheds - Canada (a Perth based ecological organisation) to hire a graduate student to manage their efforts next year. They also asked for $1,500 this year to purchase materials for the pilot project, should it be approved by the MNR-F. They also asked the township to consider setting up at least one boat wash station in each of the wards and to use the township website as a tool to educate lake users about the need to wash

Mayor Ron Higgins, fresh from a meeting with provincial officials at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, said he thought he would be able to push the MNR-F towards making a decision on the application for approval. Councillor John Inglis said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The $10,000 can go to our 2019 budget process, but I think we have no choice but to provide you with the $1,500 now.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Wayne Good asked about the impact of the burlap on other species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will certainly affect lake activity of invertebrate species,â&#x20AC;? said Bud Griswold, but we will only apply it in limited locations.â&#x20AC;? The township procedural bylaw precluded approving the $1,500 on the spot. Council considered suspending the bylaw in this case, but Brenda Martin said there was no harm in waiting three weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything without the MNR approval anyway,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we would need to order the supplies even if it gets approved and that will take time. Besides, I have a big VISA.â&#x20AC;? On Monday afternoon, one business day after Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council meeting, MALLA was informed that the application for a pilot project has been approved by the MNR.

Sweatergang Companions

he insight that was eventually given form as Sweatergang Companions, a company devoted to providing care and companionship for seniors and others, came in Brandon, Manitoba. Christine Wilson was working in a longterm care home there, when she realized that in long-term care a lot of time is spent on the physical care for patients and the routines of the home, with little time left over for the companionship that the residents were missing out on by being away from their families and neighbours. “Whether seniors are isolated because they live alone, or in a home where overworked staff are so busy tending to physical needs, it is companionship that is missing. That’s why I started Sweatergang,” said Christine Wilson, whose 5-year-old Smiths Falls based company has expanded to cover Kingston and Frontenac County. “At Sweatergang, we are able to provide a range of services, such as personal support and light housekeeping, basically whatever people need, but the basis of our service is companionship. Something as simple as preparing a meal and eating it with someone, or having a cup of tea and a conversation. These are things that make a difference.” The company takes its credo from Susanna Moodie, the famous Canadian wilderness writer who knew all about isolation. In 1869, Moodie wrote: “Old age is selfish. It

These proposed closings are to come before the said Council for consideration at its regular meeting at the Soldiers Memorial Hall, 1107 Garrett Street, Sharbot Lake, Ontario, on Tuesday the 11th of September, 2018 at the hour of 4:00 pm and at that time, the Council will hear in person any person who claims that his or her land will be prejudicially affected and who applies to be heard either in person or by his or her Counsel, Solicitor or Agent.

Cindy Deachman, Deputy Clerk Township of Central Frontenac 1084 Elizabeth St,P.0. Box 89 Sharbot Lake, Ontario K0H 2P0

She said that moving into the Kingston area is a big opportunity for her company. They can serve different parts of Frontenac County out of Kingston or Smiths Falls depending on the location, but she also likes to hire locally when she can to reduce travel time and because people share history when they come from the same region. “There are some large companies that provide this service using franchises, but that is not what Sweatergang is all about. We are all about the personal touch, and that is why the company had a name that doesn’t sound medical or clinical,” she said. There is also a knitting and crocheting group called

Sweatergang Stitchers that the company organises. “Members use donated wool to make lap blankets (Lapghans) for seniors in our community. Once completed, we donate the lap blankets to long-term care facilities and hospitals.” For more information about the company, go to Sweatergangcompanions.ca, check their Facebook, email Christine@sweatergangcompanions.ca or call 1 800-927-0985.

Kingston and Frontenac, there is a SMILE program, which provides some funding for seniors to use on their own, and we are a registered with that program along with other service providers, but often our services are paid for by family members.” Sweatergang offers different levels of service, companionship and support, providing 24-hour care in some cases. It has 40 employees in Smiths Falls, ranging from casual to part-time and full time. Christine, who is 33, was nominated last year for a young entrepreneur award in the surging Smiths Falls business climate. “It’s not really about profit for Sweatergang, it’s more about providing an intuitive kind of service that responds to more than the physical day-to-day needs of people, but also to stop and listen to a story, to share some time.” The company also offers its employees opportunities for education in the field of elder care. “In the past few years we have offered training in GPA (Gentle Persuasive Approaches to Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care), Parkinson’s, Strokes, Bereavement, Healthy Eating for Seniors and Falls Prevention,” said Wilson, “We have been using Surge Learning, an online service that has a great range of information.

However, the relaxed 2km-or-so walk around the park and adjacent neighbourhood is not the most important goal of the walk. “The day,” says co-chair of the walk, Gayle Truman, “marks an opportunity for people with Parkinson’s Disease to come together for a common purpose: To raise funds and awareness while having fun at the same time.” Last September, the notable success of the first local SuperWalk (over $31,000 was raised), underlined the need for increased services in Lanark North Leeds. Since last year’s walk, a support group and two new exercise programs have opened in Smiths Falls. An educational event was organized through the Ontario Telemedicine Network as part of Parkinson’s Awareness Month last April, bringing the expertise of a leading researcher and neurologist and neuro-physiotherapists to Lanark North Leeds, and information sessions have been organized with local health care providers. Parkinson’s is the second most common neurological disease with over 100,000 people living with it in Canada. It is a chronic and progressive disease, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time. These range from loss of smell and muscle rigidity to tremor and depression. The obvious symptoms are usually the tip of the iceberg, with many others not apparent to most people. The average age of diagnosis is 62 with 30% diagnosed before the age of 50. By 2031, it is predicted that the number will double and the County of Lanark Leeds and Grenville, with the highest percentage of seniors in Ontario and already under-serviced, will face a particular challenge. “While there is no cure for this chronic and progressive neurological disorder, early identification and diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease is important so that people can educate themselves about what they can do to help delay the disease,” says Pat Evans, local advocate and a person with Parkinson’s, “People seem

to be diagnosed much later here than they would be in an urban area. The reasons for this are not clear, but access to specialists may be one factor. There may also be increased isolation because of distance, and worries about being judged or stigmatized may prevent people from talking with their doctor.” Dan Linton, a Smiths Falls resident

who is 48, says that he had had symptoms since he was 38 and that diagnosis was only confirmed when the medication was prescribed. “It took a long time for me to be diagnosed because they weren’t expecting a 38year-old to have Parkinson’s. But not everyone with Parkinson’s is 60 and has a tremor. That is why we need to continue our efforts to educate the

Pat Evans wins National hero award

arkinson Canada has announced that Pat Evans from Portland, Ontario is this year’s winner of the Parkin-

son SuperWalk National Hero Contest. The contest celebrates ‘Everyday Heroes’ whose extraordinary hope fuels SuperWalk in communities across Canada. One must be nominated to be considered, and the winner is chosen from nominations from across the country. Since her diagnosis 12 years ago, Pat has met so many people with Parkinson’s and their care partners who have faced their own “new reality” with courage and determination. “I have always believed that one person can make a difference but what has kept me going are those who face many more challenges than me with such grace. They are the true heroes.” Pat first became involved with the Parkinson SuperWalk in 2008, organizing the first walk in Lanark North Leeds in 2017 and raising over $31,000, a considerable amount for a first time walk in a rural area. “With the number of people with Parkinson’s expected to double over the next decade, the need for support is urgent,” says Pat, “That’s why a successful SuperWalk is more important than ever. It is also a wonderful opportunity for people, whose lives have been touched by Parkinson’s, and their friends and family, to come together to celebrate their successes.” “Pat Evans is a strong voice in our Parkinson’s community. Her passion and dedication exemplify the spirit of people living with Parkinson’s. Each day, they overcome so much, and live life to the fullest, no matter what. I’m pleased to honour Pat as the National Hero for Parkinson Canada SuperWalk,” says Joyce Gordon, CEO, Parkinson Canada. “These champions make our work possible.”

He is predeceased by his parents Susie and John Cook, brothers Charlie, John and Silas, and sisters Sara and Susan. Sadly missed by by his wife Joan (nee Hawly), children Debbie Dion (Don), Cindy Marks (Bruce), brothers Jim (Rae), and George (the late Harriet), and sisters Florence, Joyce (the late Tony) and Mary (Vernon), grandchildren David, Adam (Cassandra), Melissa and Cody.

Harrowsmith. “We had a great deal of interest in a dog park being established in the Township,” says South Frontenac Supervisor of Arena and Recreation, Tim Laprade. “The 1 acre space will provide a great place for residents to let their dogs run off leash,” added Laprade. The Centennial Dog Park is located at the back of the park behind the multiuse sport pad. It offers a good mix of shade and open area and features 5' high chain link fence and double access entrance. Plans are to add a 4’ wide section of wood chips along entire ‘inside’ perimeter and place several large flat rocks throughout the open space. The Township and dog park committee have also established signage with dog park rules that we hope will be respected. Mayor Vandewal says, “The Township thanks the members of the dog park committee for contributing guidance and ideas to help establish a great venue for dogs to run free.” For more information contact: Tim Laprade, Supervisor of Arena and Recreation Township of South Frontenac. 613-376-3027 ext.2231

Frontenac Cyclone Bantam Select softball team brings home silver

t the Ontario Select Softball Tournament Association tournament in Brantford the Frontenac bantam girls went 5-1-1 over the weekend of Aug 18-19. In their own group pool, they beat teams from Barrie and Innerkip, and tied Waterloo. They then went on to beat Sudbury 12-6 on Sunday morning to advance to quarter finals, where they scored 6 runs in their last at bat to beat Whitby 12-7. In the semi final game they once again came from behind scoring 5 runs in the top of the 7 inning to beat Topham Park 11-10. Unfortunately they were unable to keep the momentum going in their 4th straight game, losing to Brampton 11-6 in the gold medal game.

The team consists of 15-16 year old girls from throughout the area and who have worked very hard over the past couple of years and to see their hard work pay off was a great experience. After finishing 7th a year ago the goal was to place in the top 4. The girls couldn’t be happier with a second place finish. Thank you to their coaches Gerard McKenna, Cory Gee and Steve Caird for helping them achieve their goals. Team members include: Cam McClelland (Verona),Keely Myers (Sydenham), Kenzie Gee (Sydenham), Aleasha Caird (Joyceville), Leah Scott (Joyceville), Jemma Gower (Perth Rd), Kya Funk (Kingston), Liv McEwen (Joyceville), Bridgette Donovan (Gananoque) and Ivie StewartSmith.

Also remember that both garbage and recycle collection are for everyday consumable, usable household products only, not yard or garage items. Thank you. 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! Any questions, contact Solid Waste Management at 613-376-3027 Ext 4330 HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT – SUMMER HOURS The depot will be open EVERY Thursday from 3:00 pm – 8:00 pm until Thanksgiving.

Cows a hit at Maberly Fair, but the fair needs more volunteers by Craig Bakay he theme for the Maberly Fair this year (its 136th edition) was All About Cows — Everything But the Moo. And one of the more popular events featured what else — cows. “Cattle are more than just food,” said Maberly Agricultural Society board member Paul Pospisil. “Nothing goes to waste.” For the second straight year, the 4H club partnered with the MAS to bring a livestock competition to the Fair and to the young farmers, an opportunity to show off the animals they’ve been working with was welcomed. Sixteen-year-old Brandon Quinn brought his Charolais Ghost to the Fair and picked ribbons for first, third and fourth. About the only downside was that his sister, Alyssa, took home a first and two thirds for family bragging rights. “I don’t know how that works,” he said, jokingly. “But I have fun with this. “My steer was quite wild when I first got him so to make a wild farm animal trainable is enjoyable to me. “And I like the competition.” Bill Cameron, in his second year

as Society president and fair director, praised the 4H participation. “I was born and raised in the city, so what do I know?” he joked. “But the 4H is critical, we need farmers.” Cameron was thankful for the weather cooperating and pleased that things were going well. But while the Fair isn’t in any current jeopardy, he is concerned that they don’t have as many volunteers as they’d like and the ones they do have aren’t getting any younger. “At our next meeting, we’ll sit down and people will identify what worked well and what didn’t in their area,” he said. “But we need more board members. “It’s hardly an onerous responsibility, only one day a month. “If I hadn’t gotten into this, I would only know my two neighbours, one on either side of me.” He said volunteers are the “key to everything” especially as board members and volunteers age. “Things like the tents and tarps get a little heavier each year,” he said.

The ABC Hall Line Dancers kicked up their heels on the stage.
