October is Pumpkin Festival time in Battersea
by Craig Bakay and Wilma Kenny
“W
hat a beautiful showcase for our lovely little village,” said Amanda Pantry, chair of the 24th annual Battersea Pumpkin Festival Saturday as the parade was coming to its end. “It highlights how the community comes together.” The Pumpkin Festival is a fall fair of sorts, but it has its own unique character. There’s no midway of course, or games where you win stuffed animals. But there are lots of kids games, each with a pumpkin-based theme. There aren’t any rides per se, but there are wagon rides through the village, a haunted barn and they even have their own miniature railroad. There’s plenty of music and entertainment, crafts, a petting zoo, face painting, balloons and all sorts of costumes, many of which feature some of the 100s of volunteers it takes to put this on. And there are pies, in the United Church Hall. The pies, and there were hundreds of slices to choose from, were every flavour imaginable, from old family recipes to modern versions. “ What’s mincemeat?” asked one of the young pie servers, who wrinkled his nose when told it used to really contain meat, along with apples, raisins and spices. His grandmother might well have been similarly puzzled about the peanut butter/chocolate confection that he was recommending. The Frontenac Society of Model Engineers displayed miniature working models of various industrial machines, but the highlight of their program was the rides behind a miniature train engine past the parking field and through the woods beyond.
Another thing you notice at the festival is how quickly the rather large parking area fills up. In fact, this year they even had a shuttle bus running from Storrington Public School and that parking lot was full too. You might even conclude that, with all the cars, a lot of people are coming from out of town. “They are,” Pantry said. “Over the years, the Festival has expanded into the community but a lot of people come from the city. “People love this time of year.” Perhaps the highlight of this year’s festival (after the Kingston Police Pipe Band in the parade) was the return of Shore Chips to the festival. For many years, Shore Chips followed by Funnel Cakes was one of those destination meals, something not to be missed whatever reason brought you to the Festival. But on June 21, 2017, Bill Hinch died. Bill, you see, was the guy who did the Shore Chips. They were missed last year. However, this year, Kirk Hinch, Bill’s son, who was born and raised in Battersea, came back from Mountain View Alberta to make the chips assisted by cousin Mike Ball. Mom Nadine made the funnel cakes. They make it worth the trip. The festival is over now but the remnants remain. Somehow, the 582-lb (264 kg) giant pumpkin that Bruce Downey carved into a Mexican Blowfish was later relocated to the lawn in front of Holiday Country Manor, where it can still be seen until it collapses. Battersea sure knows how to throw a party!
Maleficent was queen of the Festival, bringing up the rear of the parade in a hollowed out pumpkin.
Historical society’s Flickr account tops 1,000 photos T
he Cloyne and District Historical Society’s Flickr account recently topped a thousand photos, Ken Hook told the
Ken Hook of the CDHS
Society’s monthly meeting in Cloyne this week. For the handful of folks unfamiliar with Flickr, it’s an image and video hosting service that’s free to use but uploading content or commenting on a photo requires a registering an account. The Society has had a presence there since 2013. “We have 323 followers, from all around the world,” Hook said. “Like Brazil, France, Austria, Guatemala, Switzerland and the U.S. “Even the State Library from Queensland Australia is a follower — we’re not really sure why.” The Society began the page as part of their commitment to preserve local history and the material can be downloaded for research or presentations. “We do say that commercial use is prohibited because the intent was not for

someone to make a profit from,” Hook said. “Although it’s unlikely anyone would be able to.” So far, the site has had 2.1 million views and some of them had led to some interesting comments and connections. For example, one of the most popular photos, with 35,357 views, is of a group of Girl Guides in the back of a Fargo truck in front of Wannamaker’s Store taken 1950. “The Girl Guides International linked to it from their website and one guy commented that it had to be Canadian because that’s the only place you could get Fargo trucks,” Hook said. “I didn’t know that.” Another interesting connection came from a photo in the ‘Carol Lessard collection’ of Quintland, the collection of souvenir shops and attractions that sprung up around Callander Bay in the late ’30s and early ’40s as a result of the popularity of the Dionne Quintuplets.
by Craig Bakay
The curator of the Callander Bay Heritage Museum sent an email to the Society saying that this was the only photograph evidence they’ve ever seen of a teepee in front of the clock tower. Apparently, a first nations chief would pose for photographs for tourists but they weren’t sure of the authenticity of the story until seeing the photo on Flickr. Hook was pleased to point out that at 1,081 photos, the Society has a larger presence than the Halifax Municipal Archives, which has 989. “The Deseronto Archives, from whom we got the idea, has 2,024 but they joined in 2008,” he said. But that may change as the Society acquires more images. Perhaps they may catch the Smithsonian Institution (3,486 images) or even the British Museum (1,700,014).

Verona hosts 92nd annual Women’s Institute convention by Craig Bakay omen from all over Lennox & Addington, Frontenac and Leeds & Grenville Counties filled the Lions Hall in Verona Tuesday morning for the 92nd annual Kingston Area Convention of the Women’s Institute. President Linda Bates welcomed the delegates before introducing former Warden and current South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal and Coun. John McDougall, who brought greetings from Frontenac County and South
W
During her opening address, Bates highlighted the WI’s achievements since the October 2017 meeting including support for Lyme Disease, the plea for Erland Lee, Camp Trillium, hosting the 120th Annual General Meeting in Kingston, and the first ever Sewing Bee Sept. 8. “My year has been very busy traveling to each District meeting, along with visiting five of our 17 WI branches” she said. “With 12 branches to visit, I expect 2019 to be another exciting year.” Bates said one of the things she learned after speaking at the Lansdowne last year is
Frontenac Township respectively. After the Institute Ode and the singing of O Canada, roll call was taken and answered by Amherst Island, Grandview, Hay Bay, Maple Ridge, Reidville-Camden East and Victoria II in Lennox & Addington; Frontenac, Glenburnie, Harrowsmith, Joyceville, St. Lawrence, Sydenham, and Wolfe Island in Frontenac; and Bishop’s Mills, Fairfield, Frankville, Junetown, Lansdowne and Philipsville in Leeds & Grenville.
“less talk, more fun.” To that end, after the obligatory treasurer’s report and such, much of the rest of the meeting was given over to demonstrations by local firefighters in the use of fire extinguishers and evacuation and scrapbooking sessions with Carol Foo. There were also several displays around the room including photos of the Sewing Bee, Food Bank donations, and the ROSE program (Reaching Ontario Sharing Education). “We’re advocates,” Bates said. “We’re quite a busy group.”
Busy year for Railway Society by Craig Bakay t was a busy year for the Central Frontenac Railway Heritage Society, president Derek Redmond told its annual general meeting last week at the Anglican Church Hall in Sharbot Lake. Redmond outlined the new station display which houses artifacts from the original station, production of a new map and brochure, a simulated grade crossing, more flowers and a flag as additions to Railway Heritage Park as well as last June’s Caboosefest gathering, T-shirt sales and participation in the Haunted Walk. Director Sally Angle felt it important to point out that the rail display sign outside the Caboose is not the original, which is housed in the artifacts display shed.
I
“That’s right,” said Redmond. “It’s actually a photo on aluminum and we thought it unwise to display the original outside because it might deteriorate and we’ve already had one sign stolen. “But from a passing horse on the trail, it looks passable.” Treasurer Wayne Moase reported that despite several expenses (including about $3,950 to restore the track mobile), the Society still has $3,066 in the bank, part of which is due to a $1,159 grant the Society received from the Province of Ontario. Part of the AGM is devoted to the election of directors. Derek Redmond, Sally Angle, Barb Neill, Lois Webster, Dean Wedden,

Library branches to begin Tech Tutors programs
SINCE 1970
by Craig Bakay
T
he Kingston Frontenac Public Library system has a new Tech Tutors program beginning this month at its Sydenham and Sharbot Lake Branches. Kimberly Sutherland Mills, manager of programs and outreach said this is a pilot project that will run to the end of March, when they’ll see if it can continue. “Although we regularly get requests for similar things, this program came out of meetings with Richard Allen (Frontenac County economic development manager) and Anne Prichard (executive director of Frontenac Community Services Development Corporation),” Sutherland Mills said. “A lot of businesses want to get started on social media but don’t know how to go about it.” She said many of the tips they’ll be sharing can be accessed by anyone but some, such as Lynda.com tutorials, require an account but by coming in to a tech tutors session, patrons can use the Library’s accounts. “The Library has accounts to 100s of hours of tutorials for things like Microsoft Excel and coding languages,” she said. But it’s not just for business, she said. “The other aspect is for those seniors who feel isolated and haven’t been able to figure out social media,” she said. “Some have told me that their children have given them devices that they don’t know how to use and they’d like to be able to see the pictures the kids have sent them. “For others, it’s curiosity as in ‘my daughter told me I should be on Facebook.’” All they have to do is bring in their device for some instruction on it. The program has two aspects. The first, available at both the Sydenham and Sharbot Lake Branches, is One-on-One Appointments which run on alternate Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Sharbot Lake and on Thursdays in Sydenham. Appointments are required for these services and may be booked by calling 613-5498888.
Downunder
Secondly, The Tech Tutor will offer monthly technology drop-ins in Sydenham beginning Thursday Oct. 18 from 6-8 p.m. and monthly technology workshops beginning Thursday Nov.1 from 6-8 p.m. with eLearning with KFPL: Lynda.com and Mango Languages.
Kennebec Historical Society honours one of the founding families
T
he Scotts of Kennebec held a reunion in October of 2016 with relatives coming from across Canada to attend. It was a celebration and sharing of their heritage when their ancestors Daniel Scott [1822-1911] and Phoebe Parks[1815-c.1891] came with their young family up the Salmon River from Hay Bay in 1855. Another reunion is planned for the extended Scott-Parks family at Arden Sunday Oct.21 (noon-4:30 p.m.). There will be the dedication of a plaque to be placed in the Kennebec Heritage Garden, just across the road from the Arden millpond. The Scotts are honoured to be among the first families to be represented. All community members interested in local history are welcome. Family members will have the opportunity to contribute to the cost of the plaque, make a donation toward lunch and the Kennebec & District Historical Society. At noon people may go with the group to the cemetery, then at 1 p.m. to the millpond, then 2 p.m. to the community hall for lunch, to view displays and share stories. Plans are in the works to produce a family book. The Scott family would like to congratulate the Kennebec & District Historical Society for their efforts to establish a Heritage Garden near the millpond. Community members interested in local history can support this local organization with a donation to the Society. It is a registered Canadian charity and can offer tax receipts.

Ompah meeting O
n Saturday Oct 13 there was a well attended meeting at the Ompah Community Centre. The meeting was organized by John Inglis and Fred Fowler. Both are acclaimed councillors for Ward 3, North Frontenac Township. They felt that without an election campaign in the ward, they were missing an opportunity to hear from their electorate about the kinds of priorities and concerns constituents have for council in the next four years.. This meeting provided that opportunity, and about 30 vocal people attended. Some of the concerns expressed were: services to keep seniors in their homes: continued support for community centres; whether public input to planning processes is listened to and acted on: Township’s stance on the new cannibis legislation; whether the township should adopt a property standard’s ByLaw. Judging from the many opinions and con-
Railway Society - Continued from page 2 Wayne Moase and Jerry Turzanski were elected. The directors will meet to choose officers from their ranks. Ongoing projects listed included an aluminum pole for the block signal lights erected, replacing the steel wheels on the track mobile, a third motion detecting flood light, and essays for wayfaring signs to be erected by the County on the K & P Trail. The signs are slated for the Trailhead in Sharbot Lake, Tichborne, Shibley Road and Road 38, and White Lake Road and Road 38 — essentially where the trail crosses Road 38. They’re also looking at planting more trees and installing a solar power system. “We have the money for trees and Villages Beautiful will plant them,” said Angle. The Society will look at sponsorship partnerships for the solar system. Oh, and “we’re always looking for volun-

cerns expressed at the meeting, the fact that the two councillors did not have to face an election this year was not a result of voter apathy.
Fred Fowler in Ompah teers to man the Caboose during the summer,” said Angle. Another aspect the Society is looking into is Heritage Festival weekend. Mike Procter and Bob Miller are looking at moving their trappers display to Sharbot Lake from Arden next year. “We noticed there’s not much going on in Sharbot Lake that weekend and we’d like to be a little closer to home,” Procter said. “We’d like to do the display with stew, hot chocolate and bannock. “Arden is fine on its own.” The Procter/Miller 1750-1850 camp began in Crow Lake Village before moving to Arden.

• It seems that the new concept of Diners is working out extremely well for RFCS. This month the turnout was exceptional and the chicken was excellent. As always there was a social time and a game or two. The community thanks RFCS and their effort to keep this program going. • Tonight, please make plans to attend the Kids Klub fundraising dinner, at the Community Centre. On the menu is lasagna, Caesar salad, garlic bread and desserts, with a starting time of 5pm. Supervisor, Connie Tryan, is always looking for new ways to stimulate the minds of her little group. Sometimes it’s a bus tour and other times it’s a visit from a reptile zoo, but always something that will interest the group. At the dinner tonight, there will also be a small silent auction. Come out, enjoy a community dinner and see some of the delightful art work created by the kids. A free will donation will get you a seat at the table. • On Sun, Oct. 21 a large gathering of Scott/Parks family members will meet in Arden. At noon there will be a visitation at the Arden Cemetery, followed by a plaque placement at the new Kennebec Heritage Garden at 1 pm. All will then gather at the Community Centre at approximately 2 pm for a luncheon, social time and family discussions and displays of past memories. As in 2016, the families will gather to celebrate family history and to celebrate the family founding ancestors Daniel Scott and Phoebe Parks. If you are related in any way or just have valuable memories please feel free to join in. • It’s almost time for the ghouls and goblins to start making plans for Halloween. On Sat, Oct. 27 10 am to 1 pm the Kennebec Rec Committee will, again, host the Kids party, with this years’ theme being “the Bat Cave”. There will be crafts, a costume parade and, of course, a Bat Cave. Lunch will be provided for the children and they will all leave with a treat bag, filled with goodies. Dress up the kids and bring them out for a Morning of good fun. • The Rec Committee is again, hosting a Community Shell out at the Community Centre, Wed, Oct. 31. With the majority of residents living rural, this is an excellent way for everyone to enjoy Halloween night. Mature folks can still dress up, bring their scary skeleton and hand out candy to visiting kids. Come out and join us for a cup of hot chocolate while waiting for the kids. • The Arden Legion restarts Wed afternoon cribbage on Oct. 17 at 2 pm. Bring your $3 and enjoy an afternoon of fun..

• Many of us on the Mazinaw are saddened: yes cottages are closed for the season and docks are out of the water, but that is not where our sadness originates. We lost a very gentle soul last week, Mr. Jim Smart.

• I had written a little newsletter two weeks ago. Somehow it got lost. Jeff apologised to me (ed note – My apologies to the readers as well. JG) • We had a luncheon on Sept. 23 for a lovely lady on her 80th birthday. Her name is Elanor Bridgen. She sure was surprised. A belated happy birthday Eleanor, many more to come. • We had the Fiddlers and Open Mic and Eleanor’s birthday on the same weekend. I sure was pooped on the 4th day. • Andy and Linda White celebrated their 58th anniversary on the 4th of Oct Many more to come. • George and I celebrated our anniversary on the 13th. 11 years, far from Andy and Linda. I guess we know for sure we will celebrate 58th anniversary under ground, dust to dust. (late bloomers) We went to The Ranch on #7 Highway. What a meal. Hot Roast Beef piled high, plus of course raspberry pie. Delicious. • We had our Gospel Night in Harlowe in honour of Henderson Church on Oct. 11. There were 40 people, a good crowd. We had very good compliments, like ‘when is the next gospel night’. It was a great evening. I never saw so much food and we had people from Perth stretching to Stirling. We’ll probably try again next year. • We sure have been visited by Ole Jack Frost, all of the beautiful flowers are now black. That tells us to start preparing for the white stuff. Santa will appreciate it. • I see we are blessed with more large pot holes on Henderson Road. I thought we lost a wheel on one Sunday morning. Maybe we will get some new blood on council (I hope) Maybe then we will have a road like the Trans Canada Highway, wouldn’t that be a joy to drive on. I think when that happens we will be dust to dust, no more driving.

• Recent comings and goings included Ray Whitelock, Roberta and Norman Buchanan, Delbert Kellar, Jessie Detlor- Sajevec, Mitchell Gurnsey plus a slew of 50 folks attending the Henderson United Gospel music blow out blast. One highlight was Marie’s cousin Don Whiteman of Stirling who generously and graciously brought most of his musical family, thus really rocking the Harlowe Hall. Don Whiteman’s grandson Travis even played acoustic selections to the delight of everyone who enjoyed his rendition of “How Great Thou Art”- finding it to be very spiritually refreshing. Guests and musicians hailed from Tweed, Stirling, Marlbank, Ottawa, Verona, and all points in between. Folks enjoyed old favourite songs like “Family Bible on the Table” (sung by Violet Sleeper of Tweed); One Day at a Time, Keep on the Sunnyside, Why Me Lord, plus we even got to sing along a few times. Then a light lunch which was more like a banquet followed and folks were spiritually and physically nourished. Master of ceremonies Marie White really kept it all moving and the kitchen help out did themselves. Thanks everyone for coming and for the donations to the church. • A group of locals met up in Napanee at a recent Anglican church lunch- including Shirley Conner, Lorraine Shorts, Jessie Detlor- Sajevec, Allan Gurnsey and “yours truly”. We had a lot of laughs remembering the good old days in Henderson. • Now folks are gearing up for that two week family vacation known as hunting season. Baking pies, pickling eggs, cleaning guns, getting deer apples out to the “range” and planning for a lot of family hunting visits are all happening. Safe hunting folks, and remember to respect the property lines.

2018 Municipal Election Profiles
Addington Highlands Reeve
Henry Hogg graduated from the University of Waterloo as a Mechanical Engineer. With his wife he operated 2 businesses in the township. He enjoys working with people and feel that his past business experience will continue to help provide prudent financial management of the municipality’s revenue and expenses. He has served as a councilor and Reeve for almost 30 years, including 17 years as Reeve of Addington Highlands Among his concerns for the future of Addington Highlands is the lack of high speed internet and cell phone service in some parts of the township, which is hindering development. Waste management has become a major cost. Ontario has introduced the Waste Free Ontario Act but implementation has been slow. Another of his concerns is the $16 billion deficit at the provincial level. What this may mean for municipal grants is an issue. Almost half of our operating budget is made up of provincial transfers. Another worry is voter apathy. With almost 50% of ratepayers being non-resident, it is difficult to connect with them. He attended 4 cottage association annual meetings to listen to their concerns this past summer. Recent cannabis production operations have appeared in the township. Regulation by Health Canada is very limited and with legalization in effect, law enforcement is minimal. This leads to security concerns and environmental problems. Alice Madigan says that since she chose to run for reeve she has been talking to constituents from all parts of the township and the message she heard was consistent and overwhelming “They want change,” she said. Madigan was raised at Slate Falls, near Denbigh. She left the area and moved to different parts of the province, eventually settling in Carleton Place. She worked as a materials manager and at other jobs in the financial sector. In 1991,

with her husband, she purchased a cottage back at Slate Falls. Sadly, her husband died in 2007 and in 2010 she moved back to Slate Falls on a permanent basis. She joined the Denbigh Recreation Committee, and is still an active member. When the emergency services department of Lennox and Addington recommended cutting service in Denbigh, she became chair of the group that sprang up to oppose the cut from a 24 hour to a 12 hour a day service. The group, which still exists, is called the Denbigh Ambulance Network. She also teaches Sunday School and is a volunteer business manager for a children’s camp. Since her background is in business finances and management, she can provide a perspective on township finances if elected as reeve. “I'm a very dedicated person with strong leadership skills who will serve the people honestly and diligently,” she said. She is also concerned about the state of the local economy and would like the township to do whatever it can to attract and maintain businesses. “I’d like to see something that connects with people that live here, to improve the way things are. Are we doing anything to improve things? Up in Carleton Place the streets always have flowers in the summer. I’d like to see if we could initiate something like that here, to make our neighbourhoods appealing.” In her view, one of the major flaws of the current council, boils down to communication. “What I've heard from people is that they never know what's going on with the council. That's a big thing. I would work on improving communication, actually allowing the community to have a say in decisions that will impact them,” she said. “I will be working for the people to actually try and get the constituents more involved with their townships. There are lots of different ways of communicating. Why not ‘coffee time with the reeve’. My telephone and email address are always out there as well.”
Ward 1 Tony Fritsch - After two terms on council, Tony Fritsch said that he “believes our township has made a lot of progress over the last 4 years, certainly there has been a lot of change, and I would like to continue to contribute in moving forward as a township.” In addition to serving on council, he is involved in other community organisations, and feels being on council is a complement to those other efforts, and he likes to get involved in projects
that help the community. “Personally I enjoy the opportunity to take on new initiatives and that has been rewarding in my time on council thus far.” One initiative that he has played a large role in, has been the development of the Addington Highlands Community Centre – Denbigh, which is located in the former Denbigh Public School. There has been an ongoing effort to construct a commercial kitchen in the building, after which time the township expects to close the nearby Denbigh Hall, cutting down on the facility costs and upkeep expenses that come with keeping two buildings open. “We have run into problems because we cannot find a contractor who is willing to bid on the job. From what some local contractors have told me, they are busy, have a backlog of work and are not looking for any new work at this time.” He said that a new council will likely try again in January to find bidders on the job, which is necessary in order for the township to be in a position to apply for a Trillium grant to fund the project. One new possibility that he would like to pursue on behalf of the township if re-elected, is a para-medicine initiative for the Denbigh ambulance service. “There is an opportunity to make use of the skills and training of the paramedics who work out of the Denbigh base while they are between calls. I thinks it’s something that would be of significant value to people in the community,” he said, adding that he has had some discussions with a small group of people about bringing this idea forward to L&A County Council. The ongoing concern about the lack of new business in Denbigh, which is making it difficult for the community to grow or even maintain its current population, is something he is keenly aware, but he does not think Council alone can reverse these trends. “The best thing you can do is try and make it an inviting place. What was discussed at the all candidates meeting last week, was that we do need to support the businesses that are here. The township can do what it can to make businesses feel welcome, and we continue to do that. I remain optimistic, however, that over time there will be some growth in our region,” he said. Royce Rosenblath has never sought office in Addington Highlands before, for a pretty good reason. He spent 29 years working in the Public Works department of the township and its precursor. By the time he retired, a couple of years ago, he had been the manager for roads and waste management, reporting directly to Council for most of his tenure. “I feel that I can help the community out,” he said of his motivation to run for council, “since I worked there for that many years, I kind of know what’s going on from the inside.” He is concerned that some new

From there they moved to Wilton and later to Piccadilly, Ontario. John had two sons David and John who settled in Parham and became farmers, with David branching out into undertaking. The business was run from the homestead in Parham along with the farming. David and his wife had two sons. After David Sr.’s death David Jr. remained on the farm and his brother William moved the undertaking business to the present location of the Funeral Home. Funerals were held in the deceased family home or at the Funeral Home which at that time had large rooms that would serve the purpose for services. After World War II William’s son Arthur

received his license in 1947 and worked for the Cullen Funeral Home in Kingston as well as with his father at home. Arthur and his wife Roberta raised 5 children. In 1960 Arthur added a chapel to the existing home to better serve the community. He also operated an ambulance service until the mid 1970’s. Arthur’s son David received his license in 1976 and moved home from Toronto in 1978 with his wife Ann. After their two children were born David and Ann opened a Flower Shop which they operated as well for fifteen years.

LEONARD FUELS LTD.
Since 1948
5589 Hwy. 38 - Hartington 613-372-2112 1-800-543-7884 Leonard Fuels is more than a small business; it is the bedrock of the local community. It’s a business that has been run by the same family for over 70 years, employs local people, and provides the kind of reliable, caring service that larger, more distant companies can’t match. The business was started by Keith Leonard in 1936, “using a flatbed truck and 5 gallon cans that he would haul up customers’ stairs and bring into their houses,” said Rozanne LeonardStewart, who is Keith’s grand daughter and the manager of the business today. After a hiatus during WWII, when Keith Leonard enlisted in the army, Leonard Fuels reopened upon his return, in 1948. When Keith’s son Roy Leonard got his oil burner mechanic’s license in 1962, he started Leonard Heating, which later was amalgamated with his father’s business.

The business has expanded to include installation and servicing of furnaces, air conditioners and ventilation systems, as well as the provision of fuel and lubricants to homes and businesses throughout the region and into Kingston. Our facilities have been recently renovated in order to better service our customers. We are able to provide a constant supply of oil and propane for winter heating, and servicing of furnaces to comply with the increasingly rigorous government regulations faced by homeowners. “For us, it’s all about being a part of the community, and providing good service to our customers. Everything else changes, but that stays the same,” said Leonard-Stewart. And for 70 years, plus 5 before the war, that has been the source of Leonard Fuels’ success.

10 years ago, Dawn Morden moved beyond growing vegetables and saving seed for personal use and to share with friends, and began packaging and selling seed to the general public. Every grower brings their own interests to what they do. In Dawn’s case, she tends to grow and save seed for vegetables and herbs that she enjoys eating and flowers that she likes as well. From the start she has always produced open pollinated seeds, never selling hybridized or genetically modified seed. Her seeds are selected for taste and texture of the vegetables, hardiness and high rates of germination. “Seeds are alive, they adapt to the environment where they grow, and this results in resilient, strong and productive plants. Local seeds are indeed better seeds and that’s what motivates me to be a seed producer, that and the ability to contribute to the gardening success of my clients, knowing they are growing healthy food. I also encourage my customers to grow and save their own seeds.” she said.

Traditional Chinese medicine is main stream medicine. It is both an art and a science. Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese art of healing and one of the oldest medical studies in the world. The science of acupuncture is an important part of TCM. For thousands of years the Chinese have appreciated it for its non-pharmaceutical treatment, simple application, wide range of use, low cost and good curative effect. It works on the energy of the body by inserting extremely fine needles into acupuncture points; this in turn disperses blockages, increases the function

THE FRONTENAC NEWS
increase in taxes for Addington Highlands residents, and says while there is nothing that to local township can do about that, they do need to look at all expenditures carefully. In the Denbigh area he says that the concerns are about cell and broadband service, which is sporadic, and the future viability of the community, which has been struggling for many years. “I live on a hill, so I can get hub service from the Cloyne tower, but most people are using satellite, which is expensive and limited,” he said. He does not think anyone seeking office should be making a lot of promises, and the best that council can do is to seek opportunities when they present themselves while working hard to control spending. To that end he thinks it is time to come to terms with the fact the township is maintaining two halls in Denbigh. “I know we are waiting until we have a commercial kitchen in the community centre before closing the Denbigh Hall, and it has been a problem finding someone to do the work, but we have spent a lot of money there, and we are still paying a lot of upkeep on two buildings that are standing side by side.” He said that “when I got the voters list and saw that there are fewer than 500 permanent residents in the ward, and 1,600 seasonals it brought home the difficulties that we face. It will not be easy to reverse that but we need to try. But it will be slow. We need to keep what we have hear and make sure that we don’t lose anymore.” Kirby Thompson - When he ran for Council in 2014, Kirby Thompson did not have a lot of municipal experience, and he has spent four years sort of learning the ropes. “The first term it was all new to me, I feel I have a lot more experience now. We have worked pretty well together over the last four years. I think we can keep on the same pace that we are going, we have such a small tax base that we can’t do that much, but we do what we can with what we have. Since I know more, I can contribute more over the next four years.” At the start of the last term, the wind turbine issue came rushing at him, as it did to the rest of council, but as a councillor from Denbigh he felt a lot of pressure. “People were very concerned, they were angry, and I felt
the pressure for sure. I wondered what possessed me to run for council, to be honest. But when it was over I have been impressed by the fact that whatever divisions we had among members of council over the turbines, it did not stop us from working together. There doesn’t seem to have been any hard feelings at all,” he said. In the next term of council, building an addition to the township office will be a major issue, in his view. “There is not doubt we need it. We have a top-notch staff and they need a reasonable place to work out of, and we need space to store documents. But it will be contentious for sure,” he said. The Denbigh dump site is another difficult issue. “We do everything that the government asks and they come back and ask us to do it again. It is frustrating for Council and for the community in Denbigh, but we can only keep trying. One other thing that we might be able to expand is the Vennachar site, which would help us,” he said. “But the biggest thing that is going to happen in this term will be the closure of the Kaladar dump, which will happen. The other issues at the north end of the township that are of concern continue to be the completion of the community centre, the need for better cell and Internet coverage, and maintaining local business.
Ward 2
Bill Cox - With the exception of four years on the sidelines after he ran for reeve and lost in 2006. Bill Cox has been a fixture on Addington Highlands Council for 15 years, first being elected in 2003. He has served on Lennox and Addington County Council as well, and has been involved in a number of projects during that time. He played a role in the townships purchase and renovation of the building in Northbrook that houses the Lakelands Family Health Team. He has also served for several years on the Joint Fire Board with North Frontenac that oversees the Kaladar-Barrie fire service, one of the few instances of a service that is operated by townships from different counties, He has chaired that board on several occasions, establishing a collegial working relationship with the councilors from North Frontenac on the board. “The fire department is important to both townships. We are
both so small that it helps for us to work together and save on administration costs,” he said. He said that he is running for council again because he is “interested in what happens in the township. I think that for one more term I can do a good job for the people.” One of the upcoming projects that interests him is the planned addition to the Flinton Recreation Centre to house a township office. “The office is not nearly sufficient for our staff.” he said. “There are 4 people sharing one space and the CBO [Chief Building Official] is in an office that is no bigger than a postage stamp. Plus, we need to be accessible. We will try to rent out the basement space in the Flinton Hall where they are located now, or maybe we will use it for storage.” One of the other pieces of business he would like the township to try to address, even it is only a matter of lobbying, is the lack of cell and Internet service in the middle and north ends of the township. “There is a gap between the Harlowe Road and 506 and then from above Smart’s Marina all the way to Denbigh. That’s way too many people to be without service in these times. I know that EORN [Eastern Ontario Regional Network] is trying for another build out, but we need to work on them to pay attention to this area,” he said. Finally, he thinks that Council needs to watch L&A County carefully to protect the Denbigh ambulance base. “I don’t know why the county is so intent on closing it down, they don’t want us to have it. I have heard the voices against it but I have never heard any good reasons.” David Miles was working in Nanticoke back in the mid nineteen nineties when he put in for a transfer to a supervisor job based in Kingston that offered him the opportunity to live in a rural setting and spend more time at with his family. He jumped at the chance, and with his wife Debbie and their children, he moved to a hobby farm near Flinton. That was 24 years ago. David and Debbie now have five children, all living and working in Addington Highlands and vicinity. Now that he is retired, he has some time available and he decided to put his name forward for Council.

Cottage Real Estate in the Land o’ Lakes Vacation Region! After a busy summer in the Land o’ Lakes region above Hwy 7, we are ready to participate at Toronto’s Fall Cottage Life Show this week (Oct. 19-21) at the International Centre. We have a display booth (#459 in Hall 5) that showcases area lakes & our current waterfront listings. Taking our listings to the Cottage Life Shows in Toronto & Ottawa has been a key marketing strategy. It effectively allows us to meet potential buyers where they live & introduce them to our vacation area. While this year has been more of a seller’s market due to low inventory & high demand, it has kept us busy introducing newcomer buyers to the Land o’ Lakes. Its pristine lakes with so much Crown Land is the main attraction & we are still ranked in the top three for affordability compared to 25 other cottage regions in Ontario. Privacy & accessibility are still the most important factors for buyers looking for waterfront property. They appreciate the treed borders that provide shade & privacy. They are also looking for easy access from the cottage to the shoreline for all members of the family from toddlers to grandparents. Most buyers prefer docks with deep water entry but some are searching for
a sandy beach with shallow lake entry. Everyone wants a west or south-facing view to be able to enjoy sunsets or day-long sun. To be able to sleep family & friends, a 3-bedroom cottage with 3-piece bath is preferable. A guest bunkie is a bonus! Finally, the ability to stay in touch is important especially if your cottage can also be rented when not in use by the owners. Cell service is a key feature to stay connected to everyone who is not able to join the fun at the lake. If you are looking to buy or sell, we’re here to help! We’re already planning for the spring shows in Toronto (March) & Ottawa (April) in 2019. See you there! ProAlliance Realty Brokerage

PAGE 10 As he said at the All candidates meeting in Flinton, he is not running as an opposition candidate. “I think I’ve voted for every one at this table,” he said, looking around to the other candidates who were sitting around the table. That being said, he said that from talking to people and some members of different community groups, people feel disconnected to some of the decisions that council makes. “The township might benefit from a more bottom up approach rather than a controlling approach. When someone comes up with an idea I don’t want to say ‘we can’t do it’, I’d rather say ‘how can we do it’,” he said. He is a member of the Flinton Recreation Club, and has been involved with youth for a number of years, even running a boys club when his sons were younger. While doing that he was involved with operating a Zamboni that the Rec. club owned. “The township was concerned about the liability of the Zamboni. David and his friend Ron St. Peter were instrumental in bringing it to a resolve by working with the Recreation Club, and Council. With the dedicated volunteers we have, I would like to see the townships and local organizations working together better,” he said. From the vantage point of his own property, he is aware of an issue that is just now coming to the attention of the township, the cannabis issue. There are at least two marijuana growing operations in the township that may have been approved by the federal government, but the government did not inform the township about them and they are just being revealed by neighbouring residents. “I think there are some challenges in the future. I’d love to work on council on preserving the community that we have,” he said Helen Yanch has served on council for the last twelve years, and is seeking a fourth term. “It really is an interesting job, there is always something going on something new and different going on, along with the regular township services; roads and waste, fire services, libraries and maintaining our buildings. Over the past several years, council has made significant investments with the construction of the Northbrook Fire Hall, the purchase of the medical centre, and financial support for Pine Meadow Nursing Home. We try to get the best value for our tax dollars. Over the past four years, along with her council role, she has also been deputy reeve and a member of Lennox and

Tom Dewey
THE FRONTENAC NEWS Addington County Council, a role she has enjoyed but which adds a significant extra responsibility and time commitment. She is currently the chair of the accessibility committee at L&A Council, and that has given her a different perspective on a proposed renovation to the Flinton Recreation Centre in order to expand and update the township office, which is located in the bottom floor of the building. “Our staff need better office space, not because we are planning to increase our numbers, but in order to give our people the space they need to do their jobs properly,” she said. “Also, from an accessibility point of view, we need our office to be fully accessible to the public. Another initiative coming from the county that she is involved with, as member of the L&A Economic Development Committee, is a proposal for bike trails in the county forest, which is accessible from the Flinton Road, not far from Highway 41. “Interesting bike trails are popular with cyclists from all over and this could be a help to our tourist industry, which is already very important to our business community,” she said. “I’m excited about this possibility.” She said that one thing that the new council will have to deal with is the cannabis issue. “Not only will the township be facing a decision, shortly after the new council takes office, about permitting a cannabis retail operation(s) to set up in Addington Highlands, but we are also trying to find out more about some of the growing operations that have already been established here without our knowledge or input. It is very difficult to get the information but we are working on it. As well, we need to develop our social media profile both on Facebook and Twitter to keep our residents informed of upcoming happenings within the township. There are always challenges to deal with as a member of council, and that makes it interesting.
Central Frontenac Kennebec
Tom Dewey Tom Dewey is seeking re-election in Kennebec for a third term because he enjoys being busy and contributing to the township, and also because there are a couple of projects that he would like to see through to completion. One of those is the septic re-inspection program that has been a township priority, and a priority for some of the lake associations that Dewey has been working with in Kennebec. “The program is now established for certain lakes and I would like to see it get on the ground and running. I think we will be able to find a good balance between protecting the environment and not creating regulations that are difficult and expensive for some of our residents to deal with,” he said. Another very important item on Tom’s agenda is to move our Senior’s housing project here in Central Frontenac along. We have access to $250K set aside in our County budget four years ago for this purpose and I would like to see this money put to good use for seniors in our community.

study in order to prioritise major roadwork on the townships extensive road network. “Everybody knows about the roads in their own neighbourhood that need work but not those in other corners of the township. If we get some good information and make a plan then everyone will know that we are doing the best we can with the money that we have available.” Sitting on council is one of the many activities that Tom, and his wife Shirley, are involved in. He is active with his lake association, his church, and the Arden Legion, and Shirley is an active volunteer at the Treasure Trunk among other things. “I have always enjoyed being busy and working and I still feel good being active and involved,” he said, but he is still planning to cut back on his political responsibilities in the coming term, should he be re-elected. “I don’t think I will return to Frontenac County Council,” he said, “unless there is no one who is willing to take it on. It has been an interesting job for four years, but it does take up a lot of time, and it is a long drive to the meetings.” He is confident that the township is in good financial shape and that it has a more stable senior staff in place than it has in the recent past. “We have a good staff and we got a lot done in the last four years of council. We’ve had a good run,” he said. Isaac Hale was born and raised in Arden. He left to work with youth, for a number of years, and then returned with his wife Sue. They live in Arden with Isaac’s mother Sarah, of Arden Batik. With Sue, he runs a market garden enterprise, Learning Curve, which sells locally and at the Sharbot Lake Farmers Market. He is a member of the executive of the Frontenac Addington Trappers Council. He traces his interest in running for council to becoming a volunteer firefighter with the Arden Station of the Central Frontenac Fire Department five years ago. “The fire service was my first experience working for the community as a whole, and I have learned a couple of things through that commitment,” he said. “One is that I really appreciate the community that I live in and see how worthwhile it is to be involved in keeping it going. Then other is that I think I have some skills and assets that may be of value.” He decided to run for council because he thinks he can make a difference, and bring a new perspective. “I think there are a lot of under-represented members of our community whose voices are not heard at the council table,” he said, and “I also think that council decision making is not as transparent as it could be.” Still, he says that he would have a lot to learn about the way council operates, if elected. “I know a lot about the township and the issues that matter to people from living here, and I bring that with me, but I have a lot to learn about the way council operates, but that is part of the appeal of running, to learn about what municipal government can and cannot do.” One perspective that he does bring to the table is the sense that Central Frontenac should be looking at internally to solve its problems. “There are elders in this community, I’m speaking of Arden, who bring a depth of knowledge that you can’t find elsewhere.

October 18, 2018 its problems. “There are elders in this community, I’m speaking of Arden, who bring a depth of knowledge that you can’t find elsewhere. Similarly, the township could be looking at promoting from within to fill management roles instead of always looking outside which has led to some problems for us. It starts with encouraging staff to think in those terms, to take on the training that is required, but in the long term it might solve some of the revolving door issues we have seen at the top in recent years.” Cindy Kelsey -
When Cindy Kelsey ran for Council 4 years ago, she saw it as being part of her other involvements in the local community. She has been a fixture in the Kennebec community all her life. She helped her mother at the post office when she was a child, and later began working for Canada Post herself. For the past 10 years she has been the Post Master at the Arden Post Office, which is the hub of the local community on a day to day basis. Cindy has also lived in all parts of Kennebec. Born and raised in Arden, she later bought a home in Elm Tree after getting married. The Kelseys have since moved to Henderson where her husband was raised. They have lived in Henderson for the past five years. She said that she is running for second term in 2018 because she enjoys working with the council and the township staff and because there are a number of projects that are under development that she would like to see come to fruition. “One of them is the septic-reinspection program. I think it is an important program, particularly for our lakes, and making sure it is done right and does not burden those who have limited resources is important as well,” she said. She is also very keen to see that a road needs study is completed this coming year, and continues to be concerned about the state of the Henderson Road, which was something that she was concerned about when she came on council. “I brought that road issue forward a number of times during the last term, and if I have to bring it up again I certainly will, because it remains a hazard for local residents. I’m confident that the roads need study will back that up,” she said. The other big issue in front of council is the Official Plan update. “We have started the process and it would be nice to see it through to the finish. It gives us more of a guideline about where we are headed as the township continues to grow,” she said. In her first term on council, she attended a number of ROMA [Rural Ontario Municipal Association] conferences where she learned a lot about municipal matters and has been sitting on the policing committee as well. She thinks that in general, Central Frontenac is in good hands.
Hinchinbrooke Brent Cameron is seeking a second
THE FRONTENAC NEWS term on Council. He said that after one term he feels there is “unfinished business that I would like to see through to its conclusion.” One of his goals is to “promote the establishment a Central Frontenac Chamber of Commerce - run for and by local business. I believe that if the business community spoke with a unified voice it would be helpful to both council and the businesses themselves.” At the council table, he also wants to pursue changes in the way tenders are worded. “I would like us to put performance qualifications in all of our outside contracts. We need to be specific about what we expect done, and we need to put penalties in place if the job does not meet those requirements.” He would also like to see changes in the way planning processes are implemented for those who want to build in Central Frontenac. “If you go to CAA, you can get a triptych - a map that has all the directions you need, all the detours along the route that you will be faced with. It gives you an idea of how long it will take get from point A to point B. I’d like to see that for development services. If you’re planning to sever off a lot, build a house or open a business, the entire process should be outlined in a check list. Not only would it streamline the process, it would also help our staff give quicker answers to applicants. That would save money for both the applicant and the Township” There are also a number of roads in Hinchinbrooke District that he thinks should be at, or near, the top of any list for work when the township undertakes a road needs study next year. “Our section of the Westport Road, Echo Lake Road, and Raymo Road – just to name three - all need significant work sooner rather than later,” he said. He continues to be interested in the proposals coming from the committee that is trying to develop the former Hinchinbrooke Public School into a community centre. “I can see it working with a mix of public and private uses. It is imperative that running a centre doesn’t affect the tax rate in Central Frontenac. Any worthwhile, well planned proposal from a business or private group should be considered. Parham desperately needs it right now,” he said. Niki Gowdy has never sat on municipal council but it just might be in her blood. Her grandfather Bruce Kennedy was a council member, Deputy Mayor and Mayor of Hinchinbrooke township and her uncle Bill Snyder served on Council both Hinchinbrooke and Central Frontenac Councils for many years. Although she has always followed township politics, Niki has maintained a focus on the school system, as an active parent council member at Prince Charles Public School and Sydenham High School. Until last year, that is. She became concerned when she learned that the fire truck located at the Piccadilly substation was not in service, and she brought the matter before Council this past spring. “I became frustrated because there was supposed to be a report to council on the status of the truck and to my knowledge none

has been submitted.” She said that she was happy to here that the truck is back in service, “even if it is only being used for medical calls so far.” Since deciding to run for Council this year, she has been attending council meetings regularly. “There seems to be a pattern,” she said. “Council asks staff to do some research and bring back a report. No report comes back and Council doesn’t follow up,” she said. She is also concerned about the impact of township spending on the tax rate that residents pay. “I would like to see a little bit more accountability by the staff for tax dollars allocated in the budget. For example, we spent all this money on fire equipment over the last year or so in order to comply with legislation that, in the end, the government is pulling back on. I think we need to do some more research before spending money that even the firefighters don’t want us to spend.” She said that although she would be bringing a fresh outlook to the issues on council, “I also like the idea that if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. If I don’t understand something, I’m willing to learn and change my mind if necessary,” she said. She cites the septic re-inspection program as an example.
Philip Smith has served on council three times, experienced both victory and defeat at the polls, as well as an appointment tinged with sadness. He was elected in 2006, and then lost to Heather Fox and Bill Snyder in 2010, only to be appointed to serve out the
last eight months of the term after Bill Snyder died while in office in early 2014. Smith was then reelected to council in the 2014 election. After serving as Hinchinbrooke Councillor for 9 years, he said that he was motivated to run again because “once you get in it for a while, and have the opportunity to help people, there continues to be a draw to serve.” He works in Sharbot Lake as the manager, Mortgage and Administrative Systems with Pillar Financial and is (once again) an officer with the Parham Fair committee, serving as treasurer for 2019. Although he has been a critic of the controversial mandatory septic inspection program in Central Frontenac, he voted in favour of the bylaw enacting the program when it came to council last week. “The program is focusing, at first, on the trout sensitive lakes, and there is an opportunity to continue to work on protections for residents who could face hardships from the program down the road. I see my role as continuing to bring those concerns to council,” he said. One of the long-term issues that he thinks Council should start to consider in this term, is seeking a long term solution to waste management issues. “Pretty soon, we will have only the Olden Site for all the township’s waste, and although there is life in that site [up to 30 years] we need to start planning for that now. We don’t want to end up 5 years from the end of that site with no plan in place except to pay what-

OBITUARY James Crawford Smart
It is with great sadness that the family announce the sudden passing of James on Wed. October 10th, 2018 at the age of 85. Jim was a gentle soul who's greatest love in life was his family. Son of the late James D. and Merle Smart. He is survived by wife Barbara (nee Skelton), sons Steven (Pauline) and Kevin (Beth), grandchildren Rachael, James (Letitia), Nicholas, great grandson Roland, and brothers Robert Smart of Hamilton & Clen Wooldridge (Diane) of Bracebridge. The family wishes to express their heartfelt appreciation to the Napanee Hospital and Convalescent Care Unit Nurses, Doctors and staff for their deep compassion. Many thanks to all that have been supportive and expressed their condolences. We can't thank you enough. In honoring Jim’s wishes, there will be no service and wished his ashes be laid to rest by immediate family, on the shores of Lake Mazinaw, the place he called home. Memorial donations may be made in Jim’s memory to the Land 0’Lakes Community Services - 12497A Hwy 41, NORTHBROOK, ON KOH 2G0 or the Lifesaving Society - 400 Consumers Rd. TORONTO, ON M2J 1P8.

He also sees the Official Plan update, which is about a year from completion, as something that the new council needs to focus on in the first year of its mandate. If elected once again, he is not likely to seek the second Central Frontenac position on Frontenac County Council.

He worked as a farmer for many years, and owned a number of farms. He also hauled lumber to Mennonite country for 25 years. Now that he is retired, he said that he “has some time on his hands and is ready to provide my experience and knowledge on Central Frontenac Council.” He said that although he has been living on Clement Road for a few years, he is running in Olden “because that is where I was before, and I know many people who live there and it seemed like common sense to run there again.” One of the concerns he has for the township is the state of the roads and he thinks the problems they face, especially on the gravel roads, are pretty basic. “The roads in Central Frontenac are not in the greatest shape. As I said at the all candidates meeting, it’s pretty hard to grade the roads if you don’t have any gravel on them in the first place.” He is an old school election campaigner and said he has knocked on about 300 doors during this campaign, not only to be seen but

also to hear the concerns of the residents. “I can tell you something that is not a surprise to me, everybody complains about taxes,” he said. “A lot of those people are very unhappy about those schools purchased. It looks as though there may be some more problems down the road with them since they are talking about tearing down and rebuilding them, and people are not happy about that either,” he said. He said that he is keeping an open mind about the direction the township is taking because he has been away from politics for a time, but that he is ready to look at the information that comes to council and will offer his opinion when he knows the facts. “We just need to make sure that we don’t do things that the people don’t want us to do and don’t want to pay for,” he said. He would like to see each ward get fair representation in dollars and cents. Dan Cunningham has been a resident of

I love living in the country he said. He decided to run for council after being approached by some people who knew about his background as environment manager at Stanley Tools. After leaving Stanley Tools, Cunningham ran a furniture business in Glenburnie for 8 years. “After meeting with some people, I realised there are some common concerns. I think I can help council a little bit with how they do business,” he said. In his view, the township needs some shaking up in the way operations are organised. “I have a vision for the township which I’m

We can build a thriving community where environmental efforts work with and foster growth by promoting enviro-tourism. “As far as waste management goes, we need to reduce waste streams that go into our waste sites. We need to do better and more diversion. There is a Real Deal store in Smiths Falls, where tons of construction and demolition stuff, doors and much more, are diverted from the waste stream and are available for a second use. That’s where I would like to see our energy spent, instead of on the mandatory inspection program. "Part of the problem he sees with council, is a lack of engagement with the residents. “Engagement does not come from have open council meetings and publishing agendas. You can do it by surveys, by putting out flyers, you can do it by telephone. There are many ways, but the key is to actively go out and try to do it, which this council hasn’t done,” he said. He also believes that the principles of project management need to be implemented in

Bill Everett has done a lot of things in his life, including serving in the Canadian military, but he is best known in Central Frontenac as the project manager of B.E.E. Sanitation, a company that offers garbage and recycling pickup in the township. He first came to the area in 1983 and in 1995 he moved to a property on Bolton LAkes, off of the Bell Line Road in Olden District. He has run B.E.E. Sanitation for 15 years, and was a member of the township’s waste management committee that developed the re-

cycling and clear bag waste protocols, a few years ago. He decided to run for council earlier this year, and he wants to be clear that he is not running “out of any disrespect for anyone else, but sometimes new ideas are required. I think there are different things that might be done by the township.” Not surprisingly, he has some ideas about the operation of the waste sites in the township, since, as he says, “he has been involved with the waste sites longer than anybody else in Central Frontenac. “In general, we need to come up with measures that will extend the longevity of the two remaining sites, which will pretty soon be down to one,” he said. Although he said he believes in the value of septic inspections, he said that as far he has seen, the septic pumpers tend to do an inspection when they do pump outs, “and they let their customers know what they need to do in order to save money down the road. I don’t mind the township getting involved, but I have problems if they want to make it a kind
of whip-crack thing.” He also knows that the township will be considering whether to permit cannabis sales early in its mandate, and said he was guardedly in favour, at the Olden District All Candidates meeting, but now he is not sure. “I received a letter from Opseu President Warren (Smokey) Thomas that says that if a township says yes, they cannot say no in the future, but if they say no they can say yes later on, which is something to think about. Of course, OPSEU is the union for the LCBO employees so he may be saying that to make townships less likely to permit competition for their stores. Hopefully the Province will provide the townships with some good information before the decision needs to be made.” Victor Heese - In his 4 years on council, Victor Heese has learned a lot about the township and the way council operates. “The past four years was very interesting for me, I enjoyed myself and it has been fun to find out how the township works. I have also really enjoyed meeting people,” he said. He adds that he was able, as part of the 9
PAGE 15
members of council, to get a few things done. “I thought I could go again and get a few more things done,” he says of his decision to seek reelection. One thing that he worked on in hits first term, which has not yet come together, is a re-use centre which would logically be located at the Olden dump site, which will be the only township site in a few years. “We set up a committee to look at it, but we have not been able to move forward because of the turnover of public works managers,” he said. “Each Public Works Manager comes in with different ideas, and it takes time for them the get into the job. Then they have a chance to start looking at a new project like this, and then they have been leaving, and we have to start all over again with someone new.” He is planning to keep working on the re-
use centre if re-elected, making sure that any re-use centre that is developed is designed as a complement to the Treasure Trunk, and that it has the volunteer support it needs to be able to operate on an ongoing basis. “If a re-use centre hinders the Treasure Trunk in any way, I wouldn’t support it,” he said. He has also been working on the septic reinspection file as the committee chair. Council did not adopt the committee’s recommendations and came up with an alternative system. “The system has been adopted, but it starts on only 5 lakes, and the future implementation is vague. I think we still have work to do informing the public that the re-inspections will not harm them, will not put them out of their homes,” he said. This next term will be a challenge, he thinks, because there may be a shakeup coming from the provincial government. “We need to be ready to deal with whatever comes our way from the province. It is clear that they hold all the power and we can only react, but we need to do what we can, to be ready for what might be coming, which might be added costs.”
