Representatives from several area Women’s Institutes in period dress, in Sydenham to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Sydenham Branch of the Federation of Women’s Institutes, Ontario.

“F

couragement from Lady Tweedsmuir, local histories were collected and compiled, beginning in the late 1930’s: Sydenham has a copy in the Queen’s archives. The list of community contributions goes on and on… Sydenham WI continues today though reduced in size, due largely to societal changes that have led to many more women working full-time, fewer full-time small family farms, and a broadening of available community services. Sydenham’s active WI meets the second Monday of each month at the Township Hall’s community room. Visitors are welcomed. Last Saturday (June 22) members of Sydenham Women’s Institute invited the public to join them as they celebrates their 100th anniversary from 1pm to 4pm. The gala event was well attended, with representatives from Frontenac and its neighbouring counties. MC John McDougall brought greetings from Prime Minister Trudeau, MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier. Mayor Ron Vandewal, SFCS Director David Townsend, Lion Christine Kennedy and Wayne Conway of Verona Community Association all spoke of their appreciation for the work the Sydenham WI does, and has done, both in this community and much further afield, over the past hundred years. Along the front and sides of the hall, displays of pictures and documents gave a glimpse of the group’s activities. No issue was too big or too small, from the carefully compiled and beautifully bound Tweedsmuir history volume, to a request sent to a clothing manufacturer asking them to replace the type of buttons used on men’s work clothes with a design more likely to survive the washing machine

wringers. Following the speeches, guests were invited to share in a sumptuous tea of assorted sandwiches and sweets. When they left, each was gifted a handmade bag of treats, all related, to or symbolic of, the WI motto: “For Home and Country."

fter being passed over during the most recent federal budget, the Shining Waters rail proposal, linking Toronto and Ottawa with stations in Peterborough, Tweed, Sharbot Lake, and Smiths Falls along the way, has new life. Mariam Monsef, MP for Peterborough and Minister for Gender Equality and International Development, announced on Tuesday (June 25) that the federal government and the Canada Infrastructure Bank are committing $71.1 million in new funding to complete planning activities over two years to advance the VIA rail proposal. The announcement was made at the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, which is housed in the former Peterborough passenger rail station. A similar announcement was made in Trois Rivieres, Quebec, as the proposed Toronto to Ottawa rail line has been paired with a Ottawa-Montreal-Quebec City line that would travel on the north side of the St. Lawrence River through Trois Rivieres. A map that was printed along with article in the Globe and Mail that broke the news about the funding includes stations in Tweed and Sharbot Lake. “This project would bring significant economic growth to our community and the affected regions along the corridor,” Monsef said. The work that is slated to be done using this injection of funds includes consultation with stakeholders and indigenous communities, an examination of the required land and track acquisition, and the completion of the technical, financial, and commercial analysis that is required for a final investment decision. Monsef added that this new expenditure is a step along a process towards bringing the new rail line to fruition but said “this train has yet to leave the station, but this is the furthest we have ever come on the idea of a passenger train.” The project itself will cost about $4 billion to complete, $6 billion if

the rail cars are fully electric. One of the potential outcomes of the $71 injection of federal dollars is to create enough certainty about the viability of the rail service for it to attract private investment dollars In the Globe and Mail article, the section of the proposed line that runs between Ottawa and Peterborough is said to “involve reviving a long-abandoned rail line that has since been converted to a recreational trail”. The advantage of using the trail is that it is simple to acquire, whereas the section between Peterborough and Toronto will require the purchase of an existing Canadian Pacific Rail line. Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith received a heads up from VIA rail’s communication department about the announcement early this week, and brought the information to a meeting of Central Frontenac Council on Tuesday afternoon. “This is the first communication I have received from VIA since just after the federal budget came out in April , when it looked like the project did not have much momentum,” Smith said. “That seems to have changed.” The announcement of funding for rail in Eastern Ontario and Quebec comes about on the second business day after the start of a long summer of election campaigning. The House of Commons rose last week, not to return until after the election. The Frontenac News has received an unconfirmed report that VIA rail has already looked

at locations for a station in the vicinity of Sharbot Lake, and is considering ducking just south of the village rather than following the former rail line which would rumble within metres of the Sharbot Lake Family Health team, the Sharbot Lake beach and the Central Frontenac township office.

Celebrating 100 years of the Women’s Institute in Sydenham

by Wilma Kenny arm women are this country’s richest untapped resource.” February 1887, at a Farmer’s Institute Ladies’ Night in Stoney Creek, the speaker was Adelaide Hoodless of Hamilton. She suggested there was a need for a farm women’s organization, and she was right; one week later, over 100 women crowded into the founding meeting of the Canadian Women’s Institute. Based on the premises of education, community service and socialization to raise the standards of homemaking and child care in rural areas, the idea spread rapidly across Canada. Sydenham women held their founding meeting June 25, 1919 on the lawn of the Lacey home which was located in the current Home Hardware parking lot, adjacent to Lacey’s general store. That year 41 women joined, and by the following year, membership was up to 83. As a learning centre, the WI was sometimes nicknamed ‘the rural women’s university’. Women were sent by their branches to area seminars, and as well as learning a wide range of skills that included home nursing, hygiene, nutrition, sewing, cooking, community outreach and how to conduct meetings, they were taught how to teach these skills to their home branch members. The regular monthly meetings usually featured guest speakers on topics of current interest. Bake sales and catering have always been WI specialties, but there was much, much more. In Sydenham, the WI introduced the Red Cross water safety and swimming lessons, sponsoring it from 1950 until the Township assumed responsibility relatively recently. The WI also: supplied clothing, quilts, toys to needy children during the war years; organized Girl Guides in Sydenham; bought a piano for the public school, thus initiating a school music program; bought, along with the local Board of Trade, what is now ‘the Point Park’, raising $550 a year until it was paid for in 1955; initiated an annual Christmas dinner for Seniors, and ran it for 30 years; set up scholarships for the local schools, held annual village Hallowe’en parties, sponsored plays and movies in the Town Hall, provided milk and sometimes lunches to local schools.

Central Frontenac honours its Seniors of the Year

rior to Tuesday’s regular Central Frontenac Council meeting at Oso Hall, the Township held an annual tradition — naming its Seniors of the Year, complete with an opening by Township Crier Paddy O’Connor and four tunes from the Arden Glee Club. Mayor Frances Smith welcomed a rather large crowd by praising all the work that volunteers in the community do, and noting that seniors tend to be a big part of that. “I read a story recently that said seniors who volunteer live longer — and we’re all proof of that,” she said. Ward One’s award recipient this year is Gord Brown, who was introduced by Coun. Tom Dewey. “It turns out that Gord and I grew up in the same area and both went to high school in Napanee,” Dewey said. “But Gord went on to Royal Military College and after being an engineer in the military, he worked for CHEO for 13 years. “He’s been married to his wife Karen for 43 years and is active in the Kennebec Rec Committee, the Kennebec Lake Association and Friends of Arden. “He’s been the driving force behind the Kennebec Trail and the Blue Jays farm team, aka The Arden Seniors.” “I’m obviously more confident on the Kennebec Trails with a weed whacker than talking in front of a large crowd,” Brown said. “The Arden community is blessed with so many wonderful people that it’s humbling to be singled out among them.” Ward Two’s recipient is Dave Willis, who was introduced by Coun. Elwin Burke. “I’ve known Dave for 25 years,” Burke said. “I can’t remember ever meeting a better guy.” “Sue and I have lived across the province from Eastern to Northwestern Ontario,” Willis said. “But this is home. “I was a policeman here for the last 17 years of my career (and) I’m so proud of the youth in this area. “There were one or two who caused some trouble but the vast majority of them were good kids and that says a lot about their parents.” Ward Three’s recipient is Ken Fisher. He was introduced by Coun. Bill MacDonald. “Ken’s a relatively new member of this community, so I had to call his wife to get some information on him,” MacDonald said. “Most of it, I can’t say here. But he grew up in Ottawa and graduated from Queen’s. “He’s been very involved in the business community and I think he lives on the internet. He’s constantly reminding people of events coming up in their email.” “I’ve been here 11 years,” Fisher said. “I’ve lived all over the world and this is the

happiest period of my life.” Ward Four’s recipient is Heather Fox. She was introduced by Coun. Nicki Gowdy. “Heather grew up and still lives here,” Gowdy said. “She’s been instrumental in the Godfrey Women’s Institute and helped with the Lions Club and Fire Department, among other things.” “She’s been such a presence on both sides of the Council table,” said Coun. Brent

She later spent a term as councilor for District Four. “I just got out of hospital so I can’t talk,” Fox said. “Thanks everybody.”

Fire stats?

After the presentations and some refreshments, the regular Council meeting got underway. After the presentations and some refreshments, the regular Council meeting got underway.

Coun. Brent Cameron asked Fire Chief Greg Robinson for an update on statistics given the problem the department has had with software recently. “From my standpoint, I have to rely on data to make decisions,” Cameron said. “It may not be entered into a computer but we should have a record of calls and training.” “Unfortunately that’s one of the most frus-

trating things I’ve had to deal with,” Robinson said. “I don’t have a clear answer.” Robinson said he would endeavor to have some statistics for Council soon. Coun Sherry Whan asked about recruitment. “It’s not been as successful as we’d hoped,” Robinson said.

County Councillors also had the opportunity to attend the site.” South Frontenac and Frontenac County Council member Alan Revill indicated he would not be supporting the extension, pointing to his concerns over species at risk within the proposed development lands. The Planning department of South Frontenac also supported granting the extension, however South Frontenac Council rejected their own planning department decision, and voted down a staff motion at their June 4th meeting recommending the county grant the extension.

Unhappy reader

t has come time for me to defend the Township from items being reported in the media that I take issue with.

In the last edition of the Frontenac News Craig Bakay stated "A planned power outage happened at the meeting right on schedule at 11:30 am. Council carried on, which was not surprising given the amount of experience they had working in the dark". This was probably meant to be in fun but the press needs to realize that many readers will not understand the comment and take it at its face value and it presents a totally inaccurate representation of our Township, Council and Staff. In past editions articles also mention trivial comments made by Council that are meant as a sarcastic comment of an issue, an entity or a person. This apparently is juicy tidbits for the media and gets more print time (and response) than some of the great stuff that happens during a Council meeting. I have tried to address this in private with Frontenac News but now need to go Public as it still continues. It is no wonder that politicians are now creating their own news networks such as Ontario News by the Ontario Conservative Party. These are popping up due to fake news, inaccurate news reporting, news focused on trivial items or issues that I am bringing up here. I have been patient over my term in Council as I did not want to appear to be against free press and did not want to put a local news media in a controversial issue. To be clear I am not suggesting that FN omit what they see as fair game in reporting the news. I am only suggesting that the FN needs to be

the approval authority for land use planning within its jurisdiction. Joe Gallivan told County Council that he is not aware that an extension SINCE such 1970 as the one being requested in this case “has ever been rejected by a municipality in Ontario”. In a recorded vote, the extension was approved, with Councillor Revill casting the only dissenting vote. South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal, who had been one of only two South Frontenac Council member to support the extension at the June 4th South Frontenac Council meeting, supported it again at Frontenac County Council on June 19. One-year extensions for two other projects in the same district of South Frontenac, Storrington, as Johnston’s Point, were approved without comment. They are the Cranberry Cove and Sands Road proj-

ects. Also at the meeting Council adopted a strategic plan for the rest of this term of council. The plan includes three priorities: 1. Get behind plans that build community vitality and resilience in times of growth and change 2. Explore new funding sources and invest wisely in critical long-term infrastructure, and 3. Champion and coordinate collaborative efforts with partners to resolve complex problems otherwise beyond the reach of individual mandates and jurisdictions.

Letters cognizant of the ramifications of what they report. The Township and the County as a whole is trying hard to be professional in our approach so as to attract new taxpayers, businesses, investors, etc. What would you think if you knew little or nothing about North Frontenac and read what Craig reported? In the interest of promoting our community I ask Frontenac News to please refrain from this type of reporting. I can take it when there is something the News reports about my policies and decisions, as that is the way it should be reported. This type of reporting has no place in the media as it based as an opinion of the reporter versus the facts that happen in a meeting. In response to this one item I mentioned above I want to clearly state that our Council and staff are at the top of class when it comes to making decisions. We always gather facts, data and information so that we make informed decisions. In no way does this Council work in the dark as suggested by Frontenac News. In future I will be addressing these type of issues each week as needed and will report on items of interest or concern that are omitted from the News. I also plan to look into the possibility of recording our meetings so our residents have an opportunity to view our meetings in full to get the detailed and accurate information you all need.

Re - MPP Randy Hilller

ur now independent, formerly Progressive Conservative, M.P.P., Randy Hillier, an earlier victim (or possible future beneficiary) of Doug Ford’s emergent incompetence must truly feel a strong sense of vindication these days as the ruling party in the province implodes amid a public chorus of booing and a feeding frenzy of chaos, internal bickering, nepotism, demotions and resignations. However, not all is lost now that Ford and what’s left of his entourage have decided, in a kind of reverse Wiarton Willie manner, to bury themselves like groundhogs until after the federal election in October. In the interim, Ontarians may enjoy a welcome summer respite from government “For The People”, which promised so much but which in reality delivered little but pain and watery beer. To be fair, Ford has achieved some success. It has been remarkable, for instance, how dramatic has been the Tories’ ability to cause rapid political climate change, to such a degree, that even the normal cycle of seasons appears to have been put out of kilter. Maybe it’s his obsession with the Carbon Tax but, already, it has been an unseasonably early “fall”, with ministers (particularly,

Moreover, it may be indeed true, as a songwriter in the now distant age of free love, beads and hippie environmentalism opined, that “There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues”, but the Ontario electorate is certainly raising a holler and, based upon recent abysmal polls for Ford, is clearly entertaining the notion of finding a cure by getting rid of the provincial ‘Blues’ at the earliest opportunity. In the meantime, governance of the province will be largely administered by civil servants while Ford and his cronies sob into their beer while on the hot dog circuit and enter into a period of unprecedented summer hibernation, resembling paralysis, while all physical and intellectual functions will be slowed to the minimum while they contemplate how they will deal with the inevitable coming winter of discontent created by their own ill considered recent actions.

• I’ve been hearing from quite a few people that the wild parsnip has reared its ugly head in our area and people should be careful around it. If you google wild parsnip you can see what it looks like. It can be very damaging to your health and skin. Please be careful with your children and pets and yourself if you think you are near it, go with the rule of thumb when in doubt, stay away. Just like poison ivy. It’s a shame it’s taking over and being seen in so many places. • On Sat.

• An enjoyable evening was had by all who attended the Wine Down a Little wine tasting event held at the Denbigh Community Hall on the evening of Sat. June 15th. The event was a sellout, with Erin Harvey of Arterra Wines Canada being the presenter. Six wines were tasted, each one paired with appetizers that enhanced the characteristics of the wine. Who would have thought that a sparkling wine paired with buttered popcorn would tickle the taste buds! Wine is obviously a passion with Erin and she shared that passion with event participants. The success of the event can be best summed up by the question repeatedly asked as the evening drew to a close, "are you going to do this again?" Pictured: Erin & her assistant (father) pouring the next flight of wines to be tasted. Submitted by Denbigh Recreation. • Euchre at the Denbigh Hall continues all summer long, every Friday evening at 7pm. Admission is $2 and includes 6 games, beverages, snacks and prizes.

Cloyne Pioneer Museum says goodbye to long-time curator at season opening by Craig Bakay

he Cloyne Pioneer Museum and Archives opened its doors for the 2019 summer season Saturday and it was an occasion, in part, to say good-bye to the one person many credit with its success. Margaret Axford, has stepped down after 10 years as curator. “It’s an opportunity to toast and roast a lady who’s been a wealth of information for this organization,” said historical society president Shirley Sedore. “She’s (Axford) been very gracious, welcoming and cordial, also a great stabilizer,” said Wendy Hodgkin. “This museum is one of the best in the country for its size,” said Katherine Grant. “And we know who we have to thank for that. “Her passion, her vision, her taste have left us with such

a good platform.” Emma Veley, who’s worked at the museum for seven years, takes over as curator for the summer. “Everything I’ve learned and my knowledge of the area comes from Marg,” Veley said. “She’s never been an insider, just an observer,” said Gord McCulloch. “Marg comes on very softly but she’s a little like the sting of a bee and she gets things done. “She’s shown us what it should be.” The museum is located on Hwy 41 across from the Post Office. It’s open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in July and August. It’s partially funded by Trillium Foundation grants and the sales of its historical calendars and books, available at the museum and its online store.

Pine Meadow Classic raises $20,000

Former curator Margaret Axford and president Shirley Sedore in front of the museum at the season opening Saturday in Cloyne

he 17th annual Pine Meadow Charity Golf Tournament took place on June 22nd at Hunter's Creek Golf Course on Hwy. 506 near Cloyne. As in previous years, this year's tournament was generously sponsored by numerous businesses and community members, raising over $20,000. These funds are used for a variety of items at Pine Meadow which cannot be included in their regular budget and which enhance the lives of the residents at the nursing home. Funds raised this year will be used to subsidize the monthly excursions planned for the residents and to purchase additional adjustable dining room tables, four new wing chairs for the activity room, heel lifts, wheelchair positioning rolls and outdoor storage sheds. 65 golfers participated in the tournament on a sunny, breezy day at Hunter's Creek Golf Course. The first raffle prize was a beautiful quilt pieced and hand quilted by Treadles Quilters and valued at $1500. The quilt was won by Michelle Burgess. The second prize was a concrete firepit donated by Tuscany Concrete and valued at $1000, which was won by E. Hughes. The two winning tickets were drawn by Gladys Berry and Lillian Greene, residents at Pine Meadow Nursing Home. There was also a 50/50 draw with a prize of $155, won by Austin South.

Emily Carr (1871â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1945)

Born in Victoria, Emily Carr began with few advantages. She studied art in San Francisco, London, and Paris, struggling to fund her education. Embracing the new modernist style, she came home in 1911 and applied her new skills to her favourite subjects â&#x20AC;&#x201D; West Coast rainforests and the villages and artifacts of indigenous peoples. Described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Van Gogh,â&#x20AC;? Canadian critics were not ready for her work and she abandoned painting for fifteen years until the National Gallery mounted an exhibition of West Coast art in 1927.

5) Which of these artists was not actually part of the Group Of Seven? Arthur S. Goss Franklin Carmichael J. E. H. MacDonald A. Y. Jackson Tom Thomson

Maureen Forrester Pauline Vanier 9) Which of these names is NOT one of the names of the Dionne quintuplets? Yvonne Fabienne CĂŠcile Ă&#x2030;milie Annette Marie

6) Tommy Douglas is considered the father of universal healthcare in Canada, but which Canadian actor is his real-life grandson? Howie Mandel Jim Carrey Kiefer Sutherland Keanu Reeves

10) What's the official motto of Canada? "From sea to sea." "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." "Glorious and free." "Strong and free."

7) Which province (NOT territory) was the most recent one to join Canada? Alberta Newfoundland Prince Edward Island Saskatchewan

11) What was Laura Secord's maiden name? Ingersoll Montgomery Dewey Queenston

North Frontenac Zoning Bylaw nears final approval R emoval of the term ANSI (Area of Natural or Scientific Interest) from the text and schedules of North Frontenac’s Zoning Bylaw was probably the most significant revision to emerge from the special Council meeting last Friday in Plevna. Just what effect that might have on future development is unclear however as the term

still remains part of Frontenac County’s Official Plan, which, as county planner Megan Rueckwald pointed out, supersedes any township document. There were 10 changes in total, including several definition changes (pod, tiny home, recreational vehicle) as well as regulations allowing principal storage units on waterfront

Odd Fellows, Rebekahs celebrate 200 years of service

by Craig Bakay n 1819, Thomas Wildey founded an Oddfellows Lodge in Baltimore, MD, the first in North America. In 2019, the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Harrowsmith gathered in their Golden Links Hall to commemorate that event. It was a time to remember and honour those who have served the longest with the presentation of jewels and recognitions, such as June Carruthers, who joined the Rebekahs on Dec. 7, 1943, in Belleville, making her a Rebekah for 75 years. She was the longest-serving member in attendance. “I’ve enjoyed all of my years,” she told the crowd. “I love you.” Howard Warner and Howard Fellows are the last remaining Odd Fellows who served in the old hall in Harrowsmith that burned down in 1972. They each have 51 years of service. “There was a post office, a garage and a hall there,” said Fellows. “It’s been a lot better working in this (Golden Links) hall than

the first one. The old hall had two floors. “The lower floor was a bingo hall and we had our meetings upstairs. We had to put posts under the beams so the floor wouldn’t bounce.” The Athena Lodge #306 (instituted Mar. 4, 1894) and Princess Elizabeth Rebekah Lodge #358 (instituted Mar. 14, 1952) have been involved in many charitable and community functions over the years including eye research and the eye bank, arthritis society, and Odd Fellow and Rebehaka Sniors Home. They are particularly involved with Camp Trillium, having taken out and paid off a $1 million loan to secure property for the camp. They give financial and moral support to local families in need, loan out a variety of hospital equipment and participate in local events such as Canada Day in the Park and the Santa Claus Parade. Each they give a $500 bursary to a Sydenham High School student to assist in furthering their education.

lots at least 150 metres from the water and the policies for recreational vehicles on vacant lots (maximum 14 days in a 90-day period). Another change clarifies that mainland parking and water access is not required for existing water access lots but will be required for any new water access lot. “We’re going to need an encyclopedia to understand all these definitions,” said Coun. Vernon Hermer. Still to be added to the bylaw are the addition of American safety standards to the RV definition, the removal of accessory dwellings from industrial zones, the inclusion of current zoning mapping of unstable soils rather than the draft mapping for such soils, a definition for lot of record and the establishment of a minimum lot size. “Hopefully, this will be passed in July,” said Tracy Zander, of ZanderPlan, who wrote most of the bylaw. Zander noted that there have been “two public meetings and two open houses” for this bylaw. One thing that won’t be changing however is a provision to allow raising more than chickens in backyards. Despite Dep. Mayor Fred Perry’s sugges-

by Craig Bakay

tion that “chickens” be changed to “fowl,” a lengthy discussion on the exclusion of roosters and peacocks, Clerk/Planning Manager Tara Mieske provided the definitive argument to not changing the wording when she said: “We’ve consulted on this bylaw with the public for four months and I’m not comfortable (with that big a change). People will call and we’ll (staff) have to explain what the bylaw permits.” “OK, let’s leave it at chickens,” said Coun. Wayne Good. “I’m done.” The meeting ended on a somewhat sour note after Mayor Ron Higgins asked for public comments. Resident Herbert Kent, who attends almost all Council meetings, tried to comment that Council wasn’t taking into account the ramifications some of their decisions but Higgins said Kent’s comments weren’t “pertinent to today’s agenda items.” This led to a heated exchange between the two with Higgins threatening to have Kent removed. Kent replied that wouldn’t be necessary and left of his own accord.

After courageously battling cancer, she returned home, and passed peacefully surrounded by her family and pets, with the sound of the birds chirping and a stunning view of the river from her bed. She was the only child and loving daughter of Helmuth and Greta (nee Hemmingsen) Johansen, both of whom predeceased Kirsten. Chris is also predeceased by her husband of almost 50 years, David John Breeze (deceased November, 15, 2018). Her daughters, Nicole and Kerry and her son, Shane will miss her active presence in their lives. “Mamo” will be missed by her grandchildren Andrew, Braydon and Taylor and by her great grandchildren Brielle and Briar, who haven’t quite mastered her name yet and call her “Amo”. She had cherished relationships with her daughter-in-law, Nicky and son-in-law, Rishi. She was a loving aunt to Danny, Dionne, Chantel and Rene Filiatrault and Jason, Jeff, Anthony and Jeremy Caddick. Chris was outgoing and always enthusiastic about experiencing new things, travelling and meeting new people. She will be remembered most for her warm and friendly nature and love of socializing. She had a gift for connecting with people and always knew what to say to make them feel welcome and comfortable. She played a nurturing and supportive role in the lives of many, whether they were her friends, her children’s friends, extended family, neighbours or coworkers. She was empathetic and often went out of her way to make people feel supported and cared for. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched. A memorial to celebrate Chris’s life will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2019, 1:004:00pm with words of remembrance at 2pm at Gordon F. Tompkins Funeral Home – Township Chapel, 435 Davis Drive, Kingston. In lieu of flowers, donations to Canadian Cancer Society or Kingston Humane Society would be appreciated.

the lake, but instead of disbanding, the group decided to look around for something else to do. They decided to start a ‘send a kid to camp’ with the goal of raising the $2,000 that it costs for one child with physical disabilities to attend Camp Merrywood. The camp is located on Big Rideau Lake near Perth. It was opened in 1948 as a camp for children with polio, and has been providing traditional summer camp programming, tailored to physically disabled campers, ever since. $3750 was raised in hte first eyar of the event, almost enough to send two kids to camp. The focus of the Boatilla has shifted somewhat over the years, with one of the the highlights now being a BBQ at the Hidden Valley Road Campground (off Perth Road). Over the years the scale of the event, and its fundraising success, has grown. For the last few years over $25,000 has been raised each year, and the participation of some of the Camp Merrywood campers has also added a new focus to the Boatilla. This year’s event once again provides kids an opportunity to spend a day on the water experiencing camp and boating fun. The afternoon will begin at 1pm. and feature boat tours of the Lake, including over 30 boats participating from the community. Boatilla attendees will then enjoy a complimentary community BBQ, followed by the grand finale, a cheque presentation announcing the total raised for 2019. And again this year there will also be live entertainment by The Kasaboski Family Trio. Easter Seals Ontario, the organisation that runs Camp Merrywood, has been an enthusiastic and grateful supporter of the Boatilla over the years. They also help to promote the event.

Sacred stone circle dedication at Loughborough PS L by Wilma Kenny

ast week, Loughborough Public School students from grades 3,4 & 5 dedicated an unusual new outdoor learning space that comes from very old traditions. With the help of the Rotarian Society, they have created a large stone circle in the style of aboriginal meeting and learning circles.

The circle is made of large blocks of limestone, and Elder Georgina Riel, of the Batchewana First Nations Ojibwa, explained her culture’s interpretation of the circle’s significance, with the four directions of the compass painted yellow (East, signifying birth, early childhood and the beginning of learning); red (South, for youth, growing toward adulthood); black (West, maturity,); white (North, old age, wisdom, teaching). Inside this circle was a smaller one, with seven flat stones one for each of the seven sacred teachings. Car-

rying an eagle feather, Riel paced barefoot, pausing on each of the stones to explain its significance, which is inscribed on it: Nibwaakaawin (Wisdom), Zaagi’idiwin (Love), Minaadendamowin (Respect), Aakode’ewin (Bravery), Gwayakwaadiziwin (Honesty), Dabaadendiziwin (Humility), and Debwewin (Truth).

Riel then invited each of the children to place a small stone with their name on it inside this centre circle. She explained that this signified their personal commitment to care for this stone circle. Then, Janza Giangrosso explained that aboriginal ceremonies usually ended with a feast, and this is the season of the strawberry moon, so as the children filed out through the opening in the eastern side, she offered strawberries to them. The circle is located on the lower playground, a bit southeast of the play structure.
