South Frontenac's 2nd streelight installed

Harrowsmith road project completion marked at ceremony by Wilma Kenny he Harrowsmith corner project has brought a horse-andbuggy intersection into the 21st century, turning a confusing and dangerous tangle of roadways featuring a derelict building into an attractive focal point for the hamlet. Once fully adjusted, the stoplight on road 38 will be triggered by traffic from Wilton Road or people needing to cross, making the corner much safer for both traffic and pedestrians.

complished through the hard work and networking of Crawford and the beautification committee. Many local residents were on hand for the opening last Friday evening, and celebrated with free ice cream cones. Metal Worker Rick Law designed, executed and donated a sculpture (see photo - right) recognizing the history of the two railways through Harrowsmith. By incorporating a couple of railroad spikes into the sculpture, Law makes a pun on the hamlet’s original name of Spike’s Corners. (Named for a founding family.)

"It would appear that maybe we are being taken advantage of by the County" - Greg Robinson

Fire Chief wants to curtail "excessive" medical calls

T

hrough an oversite, the tiered response agreement that determines which resources are deployed for emergency medical calls has run out, and in a report to Head of Emergency Services, Fire Chief Greg Robinson recommended that Central Frontenac renew the agreement with no changes to keep things rolling along. At a meeting of Central Frontenac Council this week (Tuesday, September 11) Robinson presented a report that also called for the township to consider making changes to one of the protocols in the agreement. Central Frontenac volunteers answered 193 medical calls in 2016, “and that number has gone up since then” Robinson said. According to data collected by members of the Frontenac Paramedic Services, 67% of the time Central Frontenac fire fighters do not provide any medical services during the call. Currently, any time the dispatch service determines that an ambulance is more than 15 minutes away from a call, the fire service is called out. “Most of the time in Central Frontenac, the ambulance is more than 15 minutes away,” said Mayor Frances Smith. Robinson is recommending, in consultation with Chief Charbonneau, that for lower priority calls, those that are priority 4 (nonlife threatening) firefighters only be called in if the ambulance is more than 25 minutes away. “Hopefully this will have an effect,” Robinson said. According to statistics provided by Robinson, among Frontenac County fire services, Central Frontenac is more encumbered by medical calls than either North or South

Frontenac. “62% of our total emergency responses are medical; compared to 17% for Kingston Fire & Rescue, 30% for South Frontenac Fire & Rescue and 40% for North Frontenac. It is clear that the percentage of medical calls we have is out of proportion to the other Fire Departments in the County,” he said. He indicated that he believes Central Frontenac is being taken advantage of, so that the ambulance that is assigned to the Parham base can be re-deployed to the south in order to supplement the busy Kingston service. “The Parham ambulance is not often available because it gets called into Kingston a lot. It appears that it’s not an operational requirement to keep an ambulance at Parham. This may be due to the fact that Kingston Central Ambulance Communications Centre knows CFFR will respond to any medical call. We often get dispatched to calls that do not meet the response criteria. These calls are for very minor medical conditions but the Kingston Central Ambulance Communications Centre dispatches CFFR anyway, when an ambulance will be delayed,” he said in his report. Members of council want to hear more detail before making the changes that Robinson is suggesting. “This sounds like significant change,” said Councillor Philip Smith, “it certainly requires more discussion.” “Just because the ambulance service says no medical service was provided does not mean the people who made the call did not gain comfort from the arrival of

someone within a reasonable amount of time, even if the ambulance does not arrive for 45 minutes to an hour,” said Councillor Brent Cameron. “Medical services were not what we were thinking about when the volunteer fire departments were being set up in the 1970’s,” said Councillor John Purdon. “We are being dispatched to calls where we should not be dispatched,” concluded Greg Robinson. “There are provincial protocols for dispatch but there is leeway, and

in my view, calls come to Central Frontenac that would not go to other fire services. And this affects our fire budget” Robinson said. When asked afterwards why he thinks Central Frontenac is being singled out for calls, Robinson deferred, but he did confirm that he feels that calls to other locations are treated differently by the dispatch centre in Kingston than calls to Central Frontenac

The Limestone School Board trustee election just got a lot more interesting by Jeff Green

E

leven candidates for Limestone School Board Trustee, including one in South Frontenac, have signed on the #TRUSTee hashtag campaign, joining a call for more open communication and an end to what advocates call a muzzling of trustees when they assume their roles with the Limestone District School Board. Tom Mahoney, a sitting trustee from one of the Kingston districts, has become the lightening rod around which the movement for more open-ness has attained a focus. Mahoney is a one term trustee who is not seeking reelection. Indeed, he might actually only be a trustee in name only as he was

censured in late May for speaking out of turn in public. He has been banned from all of the board meetings for the rest of term of the board, which runs out in late November. In an interview with the News on Tuesday afternoon, Mahoney said he intended to try and take his seat at the September 13 meeting. He freely admits that he had breached the code of conduct that he signed when he was elected to the board in 2014. In fact, he did so several times. He wrote about that in preparing a statement to his fellow trustees this week. “When my constituents ask me why the board is

not addressing an issue, the code of conduct prevents me from telling them. I disclosed at the Board’s Parent Involvement Committee that a portion of the board, in my opinion, are not interested is answering to the public and that they prefer to handle matters in private session or preferably not at all. While I knew this was a breach of the Trustee Code of Conduct, I felt that my duty to the public, who elected me, outweighs my obligation to the code.” Mahoney pointed out, however, that he has never broken the rules that members of boards, municipalities, and school boards must follow as far as revealing the details of deliberations that take place at in-camera sessions. “I didn’t disclose anything from private sessions that the Education Act suggests should be in private session such as legal matters, or the sale of land. If I had been acting contrary to those imperatives, I could see why the board would want to throw the book at me but I didn’t and I haven’t,” he said..

Christine Innocente, an activist parent from Pittsburgh Township, questions why the punishment for Mahoney’s breaches of the code of conduct have extended beyond what is contemplated in the Education Act. On May 29th the board passed the following motion, in a 7-0 vote. “Considering that this is Trustee Tom Mahoney’s third censure for violating the code of conduct, that, employing progressive discipline, he be sanctioned and barred from attendance at all meetings of the board effective immediately until November 30, 2018. This was the first time that Mahoney has been barred from attending any meeting of the board. As Innocente pointed out in a submission to the Board Chair Paula Murray, section 218.33 of the Education Act describes three courses of action in response to a breach of a school board’s code of conduct by a trustee. These include passing a motion of censure, removing that member from board committees for a period of time as decided by the board, or “barring the member from attending all or part of a meeting of the board or a meeting of a committee of the board.” “There is nothing in the act which contemplates banning a member from multiple meetings, or, as in this case, the final 6 months

of a term of council,” Innocente told the News on Tuesday. In an email exchange with the Chair Paula Murray, Innocente brought her concerns about the length of the ban on Mahoney’s attendance at meetings forward, and received this response, which she shared with the News. Christine Innocente: “I am struggling to locate documentation related to this Board right. Can you please provide direction as to where this right is articulated?” Chair Murray: It is majority rules and the “Will of the Board” that determines our direction. I hope this answers your question. Whether Mr. Mahoney ever does sit at the table at a meeting of the Limestone Board again, the question of the restrictive nature of the board’s code of conduct will become an election issue this fall. The board can rightly claim that because children are involved, the rules around disclosure of details surrounding the operational aspects of schools within a board are legitimately more restrictive than the rules pertaining to members of municipal council, for example. During our interview on Tuesday Mr. Mahoney said he wanted to discuss, in public, issues of discipline in a specific school in Kingston. It is not too difficult for this kind of discussion to sway into revealing

details about identifiable children, which is a reason to restrict public discourse. However, some of the other issues that Mr. Mahoney seeks to discuss, such as his view that there is a wedge between rural and urban members on the Limestone Board of Trustees, or even his speculations about the motivations of other members of the board, may be uncomfortable, even wrong, but they deserve a public airing. If the things he says can be tested against contrary opinions, if his claims can be subjected to public scrutiny and tested against contrary points of view and mitigating factors and facts, we would all be able to evaluate them. Secrecy is a doubleedged sword. It is indeed hard to scrutinise an institution that does not allow elected officials to speak freely, but it also opens up the field for a whisper campaign. Also, trustees are publicly elected and the voters have certain expectations of public officials, one of which is that they represent the electors to the board. A board that, upon election, tells the trustees that their role is much more about representing the board to the public than representing the public to the board, and then further limits what trustees can share with the public, opens itself up to movements such as #TRUSTee.

Central Frontenac Council - news briefs Construction report Constructions starts were slow in August in Central Frontenac, putting a bit of a damper on what is still shaping up to be the best year in the last three, and one of the best in Central Frontenac’s 20 year history. Permits for only $120,000 in construction were sold in August, down from almost $850,000 in each of the previous two years. But overall in 2018, the township is just shy of $7.5 million, up a million from this time in 2017 and two million over the January to August total in 2016. Permits for 22 new permanent and seasonal resi-

dents have been sold this year, up from 21 at this point in 2017, and 14 in 2016. The building department budget is also healthier than in recent, with permit sales over $105,000 already, up from $91,000 in 2017 and $83,500 in 2016. Interim Chief Building official Allan Revill said that he expects the numbers to keep rolling along over the next month or two as the department continues to be fielding inquiries about possible projects as the summer fades into autumn. Bordenwood Road Reg Peterson appeared as a delegate to council to talk about what he considers SINCE 1970

Q

uestion: What do the following countries have in common? Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, St. Kitts, Scotland, United States Answer: Visitors from these countries have traveled through and stayed overnight in Sharbot Lake this summer. (There may even be more countries than this.) When Arlette and I took over Rock Hill B&B in 2017, we fantasised about the day that we might have our first european travellers. Our initial (and uninformed) perception of Sharbot Lake caused us to think of that day as being off into the future. And yet, our very first online booking (on the second weekend we were in business) was from a couple travelling from Berlin. On that very same weekend, a second couple, from Munich, booked in as a “walk up.” Since then we have had visitors from 18 countries and 5 continents. When I tell people about the number of international visitors who have passed through our establishment, the reactions

range from amazement to disbelief. “What brings them through here?” is the common refrain in response. It’s not hard to believe, really, when one stops to consider that question. Many international travellers are visiting Canada now, (especially from Europe) because of the favourable exchange rate on their money. Many decide to travel to Canada for the first time and, more often than not, they want to visit our capital city and our largest city. And Sharbot Lake is right on their preferred route between the two. However, what if this preferred route had the capacity to capture these folks for more than just a quick overnight stay before heading off to Toronto and the Niagara region next morning? Many of these travellers say they want to explore Frontenac County as they are passing through. What we have done is send them off to our local artisans and artists; driven folks from Europe to Conboy’s Maple Syrup operations; steered them to The Crossing, Maples, The Cardinal and the Fall River

• Great to see Ron and Sharon (Compton) Peterson around the area with their freshly extracted honey - it was yummy in the tummy. • Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the late Barbara “Babs” Thomas who at one time lived in Henderson with her parents Bud and Frances Thomas and sisters Bobbie and Joan. Barbara will be remembered for her love of family, support of the church, and caring for dogs. At one time her Mother Frances played the music and led the choir at Henderson United and all the family sang in the choir. The Rev. Judith Evenden of Cross Roads United Church in Kingston (formerly of Land O’Lakes Emmanuel) led the funeral at that church, followed by a reception there and burial in Henderson United Church Cemetery in the family plot.

Open Farms Infrontenac

A visit to Fat Chance and Long Road farms by Craig Bakay osh Suppan and Jen Valberg are the new kids on the block with their Fat Chance Farmstead on Road 38 south of Harrowsmith. So they were very pleased with the number of neighbours who dropped in during the Open Farms In Frontenac event Sunday. “We just moved here,” Valberg said. “We were renting fields in Inverary for five years before this. “This is a great chance to meet the neighbours.” They were really into the event, setting up a photo booth for visitors, running a “guess the name of the farm implement” contest to win a food box, and of course the huge pile of sand that was a big hit

onathan Davies and xiaobing shen have found their own unique niche in Frontenac farming with their Long Road Eco Farm on Road 38 south of Harrowsmith. Their primary focus is steamed buns, dumplings and fermented veggies. As such, they grow their

own ingredients including a wide variety of oriental vegetables. “We don’t advertise as selling to consumers from the farm,” Davies said. “We will but we generally sell at markets.” Davies grew up in Lethbridge, AB, and worked in a Chinese restaurant during school. That gave him

an appreciation for oriental cuisine. “My grandparents were farmers but my parents weren’t,” he said. “I was living in Toronto and about five years ago got the idea that people not from farms could still be farmers.” So he got a “bit of an education” through Ontario’s Farm Start program. “We were looking for a healthier lifestyle with the possibility that we could have a business,” he said. “It was a brief education and then we threw ourselves into it. “There was quite the learning curve.” They got started in 2013

with the kids. The farm is a certified organic fruits and vegetables operation. From June to October, they run a vegetable box program and have averaged 50-60 subscribers per year. This year, they have 56. “We kind of do every veggie under the sun, “Valberg, who comes from the east of Kingston, said. “I love showing people what we do and where their food comes from. “That’s an important part of what we do.” They’re heavily into garlic, producing eight varieties. She said they participate in the many garlic festivals around these days. But aside from the food boxes and garlic shows, perhaps their biggest fo-

He’s especially pleased to finally own the land they work. “It’s a lot easier than renting,” he said.

lings and dim sum with our own vegetables and pork.” He was pleased to take part in the Open Farms In Frontenac event. “It’s been a good day so far,” he said. “Well attended despite the (cool) weather. “It’s a day where people can come and see what we do, without a lot of pressure and we get to talk to a lot of people while they wander.”

Landlord information sessions across Frontenac County

L

andlords in Frontenac County are encouraged to register to attend one of five rural landlord information sessions during the week of September 17-21. The purpose of the sessions is twofold: One goal is to bring attention to the services provided by the Housing and Homelessness Collaborative that supports vulnerable families in Frontenac County stay sustainably housed. Workers based in Frontenac County will work with landlords and tenants with limited funding, referrals to other community services, and more. A second purpose is to hear from land-

lords in Frontenac County. As the program coordinator, Amanda Pantrey puts is, “There may be innovative ideas that landlords want to see. We will have municipal staff on hand for most of the sessions and together we can brainstorm ideas together that will encourage landlords.” “There is a tremendous shortage of rental housing options in Frontenac County,” adds Pantrey, “so we are encouraging people who are interested in renting to attend as well.” There will also be discussions about other unique approaches, such as co-housing.

The dates, times and locations of the info sessions are as follows. Refreshments will be provided, and all participants are entered into a draw for a $150 gift card. • Sep 17, 6:00pm–8:00pm, Grace Hall, Sydenham • Sep.18, 10:00am–12:00pm, Oso Hall, Sharbot Lake • Sep 18, 2:00p–4:00pm, Clar-Mill Hall, Plevna • Sep 19, 1:00pm–3:00pm, Storrington Centre, Sunbury • Sep 20, 12:00 pm–2:00 pm, Lions Hall, Verona

Southern Frontenac Community Services is one of three agencies working together in the Housing and Homelessness Collaborative that serves the County of Frontenac, administered by the City of Kingston’s 10-year Municipal Housing and Homelessness Plan.

Fury Family Fun Day features equipment swap, sock sizing, barbecue

by Craig Bakay rontenac Fury hockey organization president Lynn Newton welcomed the public to the Frontenac Community Arena Sunday for a get-together that featured sizing for hoodies and socks, an equipment swap, skate sharpening and an opportunity to meet new teammates and bench staff. “It’s also an opportunity to ask questions for everybody new to the organization,” she said. The Frontenac Fury Girls Hockey Association will field 10 teams this year including the First Shift program for those new to hockey, as well as five house league and three competitive teams (peewee, bantam and midget). “From atom to midget, our membership has quadrupled in the last five years,” she said. “They all drank the Kool-Aid.” She said more than 150 children have

F

gone through the Fury and Frontenac Flyers programs in the past three years. Part of the reason for this get-together was registration for the upcoming season which is set to start Sept. 22 but (online) registration continues, she said. “You can still register online after the season starts,” she said. Another reason is for the players to get fitted for socks and hoodies. “The hoodies have the names of our sponsors on the back and the girls can wear them anywhere,” Newton said. “We used to put sponsors names on the individual jerseys but they’d have to be removed each off season and this preserves the jerseys a little while longer. “Plus, many of the girls tuck the jerseys inside their pants and you can’t see the sponsors’ names.” She said they want to see every girls who wants to play on the ice and there is

(confidential) financial assistance available through the Jessie Arthur Bursary. Jessie Arthur was a young area athlete who succumbed to cancer. For information contact

Pine Meadow Nursing Home celebrates 25 years in operation by Craig Bakay mcee Bill Cox welcomed residents, staff, board members, family and friends as they gathered on the lawns of Pine Meadows Nursing Home in Northbrook last Friday afternoon to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Pine Meadow is a 64-bed facility. “I don’t know how this happened, I haven’t been on staff here for 17 years,” joked Cheryl Hartwick, now board chair of Land O’Lakes Community Services. Hartwick noted that four employees, public service workers Nancy Gaylord and Tony Boomhouer-Wilson, office coordinator Christine Bolduc and RN Anne Grahm-Aholu, have been there for the duration. “There have been four administrators and over the years, there have been $1,339,749.10 in donations,” she said. And, she took the time to share one of her “pet peeves.” “When people say ‘Pine Meadows,’ I get upset,” she said. “It’s ‘Pine Meadow,’ — singular!” Addington Highlands Reeve Henry Hogg brought greetings and congratulations from the Township. He also noted what the facility has meant to the community. “Not only is it an essential service, it’s an important source of jobs and eco-

nomic opportunity,” Hogg said. Bringing greetings from North Frontenac Township, Coun. John Inglis said: “I’ve always been aware there is a significant number of residents from North Frontenac here. “It’s a mystery as to why there is no financial contribution from Frontenac County.” Sharon Gilmour, regional director for Extendicare, said: “I have 14 homes I’m responsible for and this one is my favourite. “The home continues to enjoy the highest standards of financial responsibility and residents’ satisfaction.” Land O’ Lakes Lions Club Red Emond said: “Twenty-five years ago, members of our club mortgaged their homes so this place could be built. “We’ve donated $130,000 over the years and we’ll continue to support it.” Representing the Family Council, chair Shirley Sedore’s voice began to shake as she offered her congratulations. “I’ve been involved since before it was a dream,” she said. Merritta Parks, president of the residents’ council who just turned 100, said she always she didn’t want to go into a nursing home until she came here. “Our staff is wonderful,” she said. “They go from person to person, put their

speeches by saying: “Persistence, cooperation and the need for a facility like this moved from what seemed to be impossible to become reality. “Be proud, be very proud.”
