Verona all-candidates meeting by Craig Bakay
Anyone expecting fireworks like the leaders debate Oct. 7 at the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding candidates debate sponsored by the Retired Teachers of Ontario and The Frontenac News last Wednesday in Verona would have been greatly disappointed. In fact, incumbent Conservative MP Scott Reid even remarked: “this has been much more civil than the one that the leaders had Monday night.” That garnered Reid the biggest applause of the night, other than moderator Bill Hutchins’ quip “it’s clear they don’t watch the news” after several professed to not being all that informed on the Hong Kong situation. But Reid’s comment also
prompted Green Party Candidate Stephen Kotze to quip “don’t vote for the leader, vote for one of us.” Senior’s issues dominated the public question period. When asked what their party would do to address the needs of seniors, the candidates all seemed to have anticipated the question. “We would introduce private health care,” said People’s Party of Canada candidate Matthew Barton. “That would allow doctors to make more money and so make it more attractive for doctors to come here.” “Our government introduced a Minister for Seniors,” said Liberal candidate Kayley Kennedy. “We’ve restored the OAS to 65,

Undead in Frontenac - the Sharbot Lake zombie walk: T
I
t's been a busy fall season for Unusual Acres. The pumpkin patch is now open at the farm on Clarendon Rd, Halloween decorations are in progress, and they're getting ready for their event Undead in Frontenac -
Sharbot Lake's first zombie walk. "We thought Sharbot lake could use a Halloween event that's a little different, but still appeals to all ages. Zombie walks have been incredibly successful in cities across
North America, so why not have one here?" With that idea in mind Sarah Nilson started organizing back in March with the help of the Oso (District 3) Rec committee in Central Frontenac. You may also have see "Wilfred and Zelda" around town, they're Unusual Acres' new skeleton helpers and they've been tirelessly promoting Undead in Frontenac throughout the community and on social media for the last month. On October 26th at 3:30pm they'll be welcoming zombies from all over eastern Ontario to gather at the beach. At 4pm the zombies will shamble through Sharbot Lake as an organized horde, and afterwards return to the beach for a best zombie costume contest and some horror themed food. "We invite zombies and spectators alike to come out and celebrate Halloween with us." If you'd like more information follow Undead in Frontenac or Unusual Acres on facebook and instagram.
he working estimate of $871,500 for a major upgrade to the Addington Highlands Township office in Flinton was $125,000 less than the winning tender for the project. The higher number is mostly the result of a number of necessary items, such as a new water tank, re-wiring the fire alarm system in the existing building, a new exit, and an amount for Hydro One to re-locate the hydro service for the stand alone generator in the building, that were not included in the tender document but are included in the successful bid of $996,312.45 plus hst.

The 2019 township budget includes a $300,000 allocation from reserve funds towards the project, and the rest will be paid for by a loan from Infrastructure Ontario. Council met on Monday night to decide whether to go ahead with the project, which they did, and to decide on the length of the amortization. A 20-year amortization results in a $49,000 annual payment, which would have a small budgetary impact starting in 2021. They could have avoided the increase by amortizing over 23 or 25 years, but council decided to stick with 20 years. The loan application will go in later this month.

Editorial Bench dedication in honour Candidate profiles of Jim Duthie by Craig Bakay
On page 6 and 7 of this edition the five candidates seeking election in the Lanark Frontenac Kingston Riding are profiled. The profiles were written by me after interviewing each of the candidates over the phone They were each sent a copy of their own profile before publication, for comment and suggestions. This is not a normal practice for us, and we do it during elections, for two related reasons. One is to provide the candidates with the opportunity to ensure their words have been taken in context, and the second is to assure the readers that they are hearing what the candidate wants to tell them, not what I think the candidate meant to say. The ultimate goal of the exercise, after all, is to help people decide who to vote for. Over the years, including this time around, we’ve never had a candidate try to back off from a position they had spoken about when it was presented to them in print. As I said in an editorial at the beginning Jim Duthie’s grandchildren did the honours of unveiling the new bench dedicated to the memory of the campaign, I still find it regrettable of their grandfather. that our democracy does not ensure that he Red Trail leg of the Kennebec “He’d also say outwardly that he didn’t every vote cast has some direct impact Wilderness Trails will now be known deserve this, but on the inside, he’d puff on the shape of the government that will as “Jim’s Jaunt” as friends and family, out that big barrel chest and be proud.” emerge, from what is looking at this point including his wife of 62 years, Sheila, Music was a big part of Duthie’s life like a very tight election.

the page it says there is more than a 99% chance that the riding will go Conservative, which does seem pretty safe. I strongly suspect that the analysis on that web page is based on the application of national, provincial and regional polling to this riding, filtered by the local results in previous elections. As far as I know, no dedicated poll has been undertaken in this riding, so in a sense anything can happen. Two weeks ago, I wrote another editorial, after moderating an all candidates meeting in Sharbot Lake. In it, I talked in positive terms about the commitment, intelligence and decorum that the LFK candidates were bringing to their personal campaigns. When conducting the interviews for these profiles, the candidates very much lived up to those high standards. Whatever concerns I may have about the process, the candidates expressed neither cynicism nor doubt; they continue to campaign on the basis of their vision for the future of the country. Not only do the candidates deserve our respect for that, they also bring a measure of respectability to a political process that is sorely in need of it. Thankfully when we all go to vote, we put an x beside the name of an individual who we trust to represent our interests. In that moment of voting, the candidate takes precedence of the party. To the many readers who have already voted in advanced polls, I apologise that these profiles are too late to be of any use to you. I will have to be quicker off the mark the next time around.

Arena needs $1,305,000 in new infrastructure but grant application for 73% looking good - South Frontenac Council SINCE 1970
by Craig Bakay
T
he bad news is that the Frontenac Community Arena needs $1,305,000 over the next two years to replace aging infrastructure. The good news is that there is a grant available that would pay 73.33 per cent ($956,956) of the project and Arena Manager Tim Laprade told South Frontenac Council at its regular meeting Tuesday night in Sydenham that there’s a good chance an application would be successful. “The arena was opened in 1976 and funded through a Wintario grant,” Laprade said. “The typical life cycle of an arena is 20-40 years so we’re past that.” In 2020, Laprade proposes spending $305,000 to replace the condenser unit and upgrade its tower ($120,000), replac-
ing the plate heat exchanger (chiller system) ($150,000), replacing the brine pump package ($25,000) and a floor slushing and glycol charge ($10,000). He said that since 2017, they’ve spent $10,000 on maintenance for the brine pump, $10,500 on the ammonia chiller and $9,200 on the condenser unit. In 2021, Laprade proposes removing and replacing the concrete slab, brine lines, boards, glass, benches and timekeepers box as well as improvements to the flooring area around the pad and in the ice surfacer room. All this would cost an estimated $1,000,000. However, the Community Culture and Recreation (Rehabilitation and Renovation stream) of the Investing in Canada Infra-
structure Program has grants designed for just this sort of thing. Since the Arena is jointly owned by both South and Central Frontenac Townships, the Arena will be submitting an application for the ICIP grant for these projects with both Townships as the co-applicants, he said. “The arena is operated as a not-forprofit at arm’s length from the Townships,” Laprade said. “As such it is a registered charity and these projects regularly get first opportunity for these grants.” “I am on the (arena) board and everything Tim is saying is needed,” said Coun. Norm Roberts. “We’ve been getting away with this so far.” “Staff has told us this is as strong an application as there is,” said Mayor Ron

K & P trail reaches Sharbot Lake
I
had the pleasure last week of seeing the completion of the K & P Trail from Kingston to Sharbot Lake, ready for full usage. The last section from South of Crow Lake Road to St. Georges Lake was completed and the results are outstanding. The County of Frontenac, its administration staff and the various County Councillors over the last ten years or more need to be congratulated for their foresight, commitment and tenacity in envisioning the project and sticking with it. We took our four-wheeler and rode from Tichborne to Sharbot Lake to “try it out” and it is nothing less than beautiful. This now connects the K & P Trail from the south with the Trans Canada Trail running East West through Sharbot Lake. The next stage will be to connect the K & P north with Renfrew County and get the trail to Calabogie. Rural Communities across Canada have had great challenges since the 60’s and many now survive only as shadows of their older selves but recreation trails, I believe, provide great hope for communities to revitalize themselves with new kinds of visitors. The K & P Trail provides the County and its various communities with the opportunity to build economic models to attract new visitors be they bikers, hikers, snowmobilers and ATV enthusiasts. We need to tell people that our trails are ready, accessible, welcoming with goods and services provided along the way to cater to the users. Go out and use and enjoy the trails around you and tell your friends and acquaintances that it is there for their enjoyment. To Kelly Pender and his staff at the County and to Mayor Smith and her fellow County Councillors thank you for a job well thought through and well executed. Also, over the years many people and associa-
tions have worked tirelessly towards bringing the trail into reality, may you enjoy your accomplishment. Rural Communities are starting to attract new residents and with them will come new ideas and renewed enthusiasm for the beauty of the “country”. The K & P Trail adds to that beauty. Wayne Robinson

will increase the CPP survivor benefit and top off the OAS by 10 per cent at age 75.” “We support the development of an official seniors strategy,” said Kotze. “We have a high percentage of seniors in this riding (and) we’d change the bankruptcy and solvency act to put pension plans on the top of the list of who gets paid first.” “The most obvious concern here is that most seniors are on a fixed income with no way to top it up,” said Scott Reid. “There may be some solutions through the Tax Act.” “When you’re on a fixed income, you’re not making enough to take tax out,” said Satinka Schilling, NDP candidate. “We’re also looking at a national seniors strategy including pharmacare, subsidized and co-housing.” The Carbon Tax came in for some scrutiny as well when the candidates were asked: “The Carbon Tax is a punishment, why would money from energy taxed not

South funds 59 per cent of anticipated operating deficit and Central 41 per cent. Laprade said the arena is the secondmost visited facility in the Township, after the library system (which consists of several libraries). He also said that if the work is not done, there is a significant health risk from an ammonia leak. In 2017 an ammonia leak resulted in the death of three people, including the arena manager and two maintenance workers.

The Carbon Tax is a bad idea (what we should have instead) is a 20 per cent Green Home Credit tax.” “We would create a Canadian Climate Bank where money goes in only for green tech,” said Schilling. “The climate’s changing, it’s always changed, it will always change,” said Barton. “We don’t need a carbon tax.”

Federal Election 2019 Candidate Profiles Conservative Party - Scott Reid
U
nlike all the other candidates in LanarkFrontenac-Kingston, Scott Reid is not a rookie candidate. Not by a longshot. He has been a member of Parliament continuously since 2000, when he was elected in Lanark-Carleton, making him one of only two Canadian Alliance Party MP’s from Ontario. He was one of the negotiators in the merger talks between the Canadian Alliance of Progressive Conservative Party that led to the creation of the Conservative
Party of Canada, and was re-elected under that banner 4 times (’04,’06,’08,’11) in the Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington riding, and again in 2015 in the newly created Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding. He has served in opposition and government over that time, and as Deputy House Leader under Stephen Harper. He is a long serving member and chair of the Human Rights subcommittee and of the committee that oversees the application of parliamentary procedures as well. As he seeks re-election for the 7th time, contemplating over 20 years in public office, he said that, “my political career could well end next week, but I don’t see myself leaving office voluntarily any time soon.” He said that his father Gordon, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Giant Tiger, the company he founded, “is 86 years old and still goes to work everyday. He is also more productive with his time than ever since he knows his business so well, so I don’t see any reason why I couldn’t be effective in Parliament for some time yet. I find my job endlessly interesting and changing.”
THINK GREEN VOTE STEPHEN KOTZE Your GREEN PARTY candidate for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. Stephen Kotze has lived with his family in this riding for over 35 years and manages his own accounting company serving local residents, organizations and small businesses.
That being said, he added that even though he offers up himself to voters as someone who has the experience to be effective in the House of Commons on behalf of the riding, that does not mean some of the younger candidates running against him would not do a good job as well. “There have been very effective MP’s in their 20’s, as well as in their 60’s,” he said Scot Reid is a long-time student of parliamentary reform around the world. He as also the co-chair of the committee that was charged with providing a plan for proceeding with reform in Canada. The committee came up with a multi-partisan plan to move forward, but the Prime Minister rejected it and said he was no longer going to pursue any change to the current system. “It is clear that there will be no reform as long as the Liberals have a majority under Justin Trudeau,” Reid said. One thing that has surprised him during the current campaign, and he said that might be changing a bit as voting day nears, is that the spending promises that have been made aren’t balanced out by a consideration of fiscal constraints. “At least the last time around every party presented a costed-out platform. They may not have followed through and certainly the Liberals overshot their promises by a lot, but this time around there is no real costing, just really laundry lists, and only in the last few days have some media reports started to look at that,” he said. “It might become an issue over the last week of the campaign.” With the real potential for a minority government after the election (at the time of writing both of the major poll tracking websites - 338Canada.com and CBC poll tracker - were predicting a dead heat between the Liberals and Conservatives with neither being in a likely position of wining a majority) Reid said that decision-making may change radically in Ottawa next week. He said it will only be after the seat distribution is settled, not only between the Conservatives and Liberals but the other parties as well, before any knows what kind of government will result. “Talk about coalitions are pre-mature at this point. In my experience it is at least as likely that, like it was when Stephen Harper was in a minority, the government finds support from another party on a vote by vote basis in order to continue to govern instead of forming a formal coalition, but that is a conversation for next week.” With change in the air as the election approaches, Scott Reid may indeed find that his role is entirely different after October 22nd, whether he is re-elected or not.

he election campaign for Stephen Kotze began early and has been ramping up ever since. Although the Green Party candidate (Anita Payne) only received 3.5% of the vote in Lanark Frontenac Kingston in 2015, there were three people contesting the nomination in early April. Kotze, who runs an accounting business, in Balance, out of his home in Elphin, near the border between Frontenac and Lanark Counties, came out on top. Ever since he has been hard at work visiting every corner of the riding, and setting up a core of volunteers to get the Green Party message out, talking to voters of every stripe about the climate crisis that the Green Party is dedicated to addressing, and about the rest of the party platform. “The whole campaign has been an education. The good thing has been getting out and meeting people, hearing peoples’ passion. There are always new things that come up around issues of concern to people,” he said. “I’ve also had to learn more about the Green Party’s comprehensive platform and I’ve found that all of it is practical and really makes a lot of sense.” At the door, at all-candidates meetings and at events that the Green Party has organised, he has been asked about a huge range of issues. “People have asked about NATO, about trade with China and Hong Kong, which are definitely outside of my area of expertise, and I have to say that. I obviously have a lot more to say about climate change, climate policy and social programs.” Since the campaign began, he has seen a lot of momentum towards the Green Party nationally, and in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding. “Not only have we had many, many people come out to join our campaign, we have also been able to bring many voters to the Green’s as well. I know that people

in the past, and for the Conservatives in the past, will be voting Green this time. I know that our vote will increase substantially in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston,” he said. Other candidates have noticed that the Green’s seem to have momentum as well. The number of signs, not exactly a scientific measure and one that is skewed this time around because the NDP has not put out signs, indicate a lot of Green support, particularly signs on private property. But just as the Green’s, in Kotze’s view, have taken votes from other parties, he is more than ready to work with those parties when the election is over. “If other parties who are in a position of power have ideas or policies that move the bar on climate or other areas that are important to us and to Canadians, we will support them. The Green’s are committed to collaboration, not adversarial party politics.” That being said, he is quick to point out that an analysis of the climate change proposals form the four major parties, which was reported upon by the CBC on October 11 (https://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/confrontingcarbon2/) indicates that among the four major parties, only the Green’s climate change proposals would meet (in fact, exceed) the carbon emissions reduction target by 2030 put forward by the IPCC (the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and agreed to at the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference. While the Green Party plan would also result in the lowest level of economic growth of the four that the report looked at, the report says that under the Green’s plan growth will remain at 1.25% (the others are NDP, 1.5%, Liberals 1.75%, and Conservatives 1.8%). For Kotze, this election has been all about the conversation about climate change and economic growth, and the experience has heightened his political commitment. “We may not get the votes we need to implement our policies in this riding or across the country, but this will not stop us from continuing the conversation about climate change. My commitment towards that goal has only be heightened by the election campaign,” he said.
Liberal Party Kayley Kennedy
A
s a first-time candidate, Kayley Kennedy said she has learned a lot during this campaign. She has learned about the issues that concern people in parts of the riding that she did not know that well coming to the campaign, and about what it takes to run an effective campaign. She is a long time Liberal Party supporter even though she is only 24, having gotten her start in the Liberal Youth wing, and then working in the office of MP Judy Dzerowics and completing an MA in political management. But being a candidate is something different. “I have been taken with the feedback I have received; the emails, questions at the door and at candidate meeting. A lot of people are looking for someone to be an advocate for change, over a whole range of issues, issues that matter to people in their day to lives, such as dementia and mental health. These are issues that the Federal government can play a role, by developing national strategies, such as the dementia strategy that the Liberal government announced earlier this year,” she said. One issue that she takes a special interest in is that of accessibility, in all its forms. “Accessibility is an issue that is personally important to me, having worked in human rights, and it has become a profession as well, since last summer when I left my job in Ottawa to come home. I have a business now making documents and websites accessible. “Physical barriers are something that the federal government needs to be addressing. We need to be a strong national advocate, pro-actively seeking opportunities to improve accessibility,” she said, pointing out that Ontario took a lead in promoting accessibility years ago by bringing in the Ontarians with Disabilities Act and the Federal government needs to play a role as well. In terms of organisation, she has learned how important a strong core of volunteers is for a campaign, and in the value of door to door campaigning. “Door to door campaigning ultimately is most effective way to meet and talk to people about what they really care about. A lot of people that we have spoken to have never had someone knock on their door. It’s way of demonstrating that you really are planning to work for them,” she said. “There is a perception that I am picking up out there that people are really ready for a change, for an activist government.” She said that in her home town of Smiths Falls every-
thing in the town was turned around by a single policy that the Liberal Party were promoting during the last election campaign. “Legalising Cannabis has made the growth of Tweed and Canopy growth a reality, and that have brought employment and investment to Smiths Falls that has really turned the town around. I’m proud to be representing the party that made that happen in government for my home town.” She said that she learned a lot from Judy Dzerowics about how hard an MP needs to work, and part of that is making sure to get back to the riding on Fridays when the house is sitting and during breaks in Parliament. “She has been someone I have been able to talk to during the campaign, but when I worked for her I saw how much it takes. For me it is easier since the riding is not that far from Ottawa, but I feel it is important to make sure as MP I get to know more people in Frontenac County and South Frontenac in particular. When I was going door to door the people were saying they hadn’t seen their MP at all. The Liberal Party has the best chance to make change in this riding. That is what my campaign is all about.”
New Democratic Party Satinka Schilling
I
PAGE 7 has applied to be a member at large of the NDP National Women’s Committee so her commitment to politics will not continue regardless of how the election plays out next week. “The campaign has been exhausting, for sure, but I see the value of it. Some folks have talked to me about running again. I would want to start earlier, though, because going door to door to talk to people directly is very important.”
Peoples Party of Canada Matthew Barton
M
atthew Barton’s candidacy came about as the result of his fervent support for the newly minted People’s Party of Canada (PPC). In August, he attended the People’s Party of Canada 2019 Conference in Gatineau. Quebec. One difference between the People’s Party and all the others is our commitment to improving pensions and healthcare for veterans. We would re-instate payments under the Pension Act, and roll back the cuts for Veterans that the current government has brought about. My grandfather is a veteran and we need to show veterans more respect,” he said. He joined the campaign only 7 weeks ago and said that it has been a huge effort and learning curve for him since he works full-time as a Construction Modelling Specialist on Parliament Hill. Although he works on Parliament Hill, his job does not put him into contact with the political side of things, just the site itself. The first thing he said when interviewed for this profile was that he is “not a politician and has no experience in political campaigns.” Barton does not live in the riding. He is, however, “a Valley boy” having been raised in a rural household south of Ottawa, attending North Dundas High School in Chesterville before. He also attended Algonquin College in Ottawa, and worked in an architect’s office for 6 years. He decided to seek the party nomination in Lanark Frontenac Kingston after monitoring the PPC website all summer to make sure that there were candidates in all the ridings near his home in Ottawa. “I saw that there was no candidate in Lanark Frontenac Kingston, and feeling strongly that the Peoples Party needed to be represented in as many ridings as possible, I almost felt like it was my duty to put my name forward and here I am. It has been difficult because I am basically doing everything myself since I had only one or two volunteers in the riding when I started,” he said. The reception within the riding has been gratifying. “People are willing to listen to the party platform and that is what I am here for, to provide an important perspective on some of the major issues.” One of those issues is immigration, and Barton supports the party position to curtain immigration, place a strong focus on economic migrants, and prioritize refugees facing persecution. “We are for cutting immigration and focussing on the over one million Canadians who are unemployed, our homeless, and our veterans, ” he said. His is also a strong supporter of the People’s Parties’ climate change policy. “We are the only party that thinks the ‘climate crisis’ rhetoric is alarmist in Canada’s case. Canada is not a big emitter in global terms and we are not really facing a crisis. We shouldn’t be talking about stifling our economy today when we need to invest in the technologies of tomorrow. If we can use safe pipelines to transport oil for export and sell cleaner natural resources to China, which is using vast amounts of coal for energy, it would be a win-win for the economy and the environment. I could talk about climate change all day,” he said. He added that he has learned a lot from campaigning, saying that he has learned a lot from it. He said that his first All Candidates meeting, in Verona, was difficult for him but that the next one in Almonte was a lot better. He is proud to represent the People’s Party of Canada and its leader Maxime Bernier, in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. “We are a unique option for voters, and it was important to make sure we were on the ballot in this riding,” he said.
“
t’s been a busy few weeks for Satinka Schilling, and last week as no exception. In her day job at the Perth Pie company the week before thanksgiving is just about the busiest of the year, and in the late afternoons and evenings she was on the campaign trail. She knew this was going to be her life during the campaign when she was selected as the candidate by the local riding association in early August, but had to wait until September 16 for the national party to confirm her candidacy, which slowed her down quite a bit but since then she has put her stamp on the campaign. You won’t see orange Satinka Schilling NDP signs around the riding, however, but you might see some orange ribbons around trees or fences or even on small maple seedlings dotting the landscape. “We need to address climate change in every thing we do,” she said “and putting up single use plastic signs during an election campaign is not the signal that I want to send about my candidacy. Instead we have handed out orange ribbons and maple seedlings to supporters, as well as hand-made buttons.” She has also distinguished herself in the campaign by talking openly about her financial circumstances. “Because I have the most life experience living in poverty, issues around poverty are a priority for me and I am very passionate about that. I feel that I have something to offer for people who are neglected in the riding. She noted that when she was working at Tim Horton’s and wanted to move on to another job that was more suitable for her skillset, she found herself compelled to stay because she had been in her job long enough to be eligible for health benefits. “These are the kinds of circumstances people face, and this is why the NDP commitment to dental care is more than a campaign promise, it is something that many in this country, including myself, really need.” For Schilling, who turned 24 last week, the campaign has been a learning experience, deepening her commitment to politics and to the NDP as well. “I have found from going to door to door in certain parts of the riding there is very little awareness of the political system. Some people don’t know that there is a local campaign at all, they don’t know there is a federal and a provincial government, never mind how they share responsibility. That leads them having no interest in politics or in voting. It will take some work to change that,” she said. As the campaign has progressed and the NDP has gone up in the national polls, she feels it has filtered down the riding. “We have been getting lots of good feedback and donations over the phone and on social media from the success of our national camAll suzuki motors purchased paign,” she said, “and in before Dec 31 will receive a Dealer the 7 all candidates meetincentive at time of purchase. ings I have attended there has been a good response Save the tax on all in stock canoes! to my message and to the party platform. 1214 County RD 4 Unit#2, Odessa ON, K0H2H0 (Exit 593 from 401 and 1 kms south) Schilling has taken on the Phone/Text 613-929-5025 Fax 613-386-2424 role of local riding assowww.dmboatsales.com ciation Vice President and

by Sonja Alcock hinking back over the years of running this program I cannot help but smile at the people who are willing to keep this going after all this time. Let me explain……. When the Free Clothes Giveaway first began, it was the brain child of two women who had cottagers in our area leave bags of clothing with them in the fall to share with the locals if they needed it. In the summer of ’86 I showed up in Cloyne, newly married, expecting our first child, penniless and overwhelmed. Shirley, my mother-in-law, was one of those two women whom had her attic full of bags of clothing and told me to find whatever I could to clothe my child. I found enough clothing to last him until he was 5 years old!! I wept. Seeing this, Shirley spoke with Gail, the owner of the Cloyne General at the time and the other woman who had bags full of clothing. They both attended Pineview Free Methodist Church here in Cloyne. They thought maybe other women in our church would appreciate the opportunity to clothe their families as well. So they brought the clothes to the basement of the church and all of us young mothers were able to find somethings to help save on clothing costs. This was the basic beginning of this ministry, under the Women’s Mission International (WMI) committee. A couple years later, a new leader of the WMI, suggested opening the event to others within the community for we had so much clothing donated to the church by summer visitors, that we couldn’t get rid of it all. This event was so well received that we realized that our small basement in the church wasn’t big enough, so Marianne asked the local township if we could use the Barrie Township Hall for free to host the event. When the news got out that we were giving away clothing, the day of opening the doors 358 people came through the doors!! We were overwhelmed. At the end of those first events, a man from the church would come by with his big dumptruck to take the garbage away. This had some rumours spread saying we were just throwing away good donations. So like today, I wrote an article to explain what we were throwing away, and requested that donations be limited to clean,

gently used clothing, footwear, etc. That helped greatly. The Free Clothes Giveaway eventually moved back to the basement of the church, where it has been ever since. Over the year, volunteers became less and less. Two years ago there were only three of us doing it all, and we burned out. We declared that we couldn’t physically do it anymore. This wasn’t the news that the leaders of the church wanted to hear, so our new pastor and his family took on the ministry and let me “help”. It was wonderful to see new blood taking on this ministry that is vital to the community. Then unfortunately our new Pastor had to resign due to health reasons, and I found that I was the lone person to run the Free Clothes Giveaway. I knew I couldn’t do it alone…. and prayed. In September my husband took me on a once in a lifetime, month long road trip through the states. I prayed. When we came home 28 days later there was a message on the answering machine wanting to know when the Free Clothes Giveaway was being held for they had donations. My heart sank. I knew I was going to have to shut it down for physically I could not do this on my own. I put out a Facebook request to see if anyone was willing to help with the ministry, and within minutes I had several ladies in the community committing to give the three days required to pull the Free Clothes Giveaway off. At the end of the day I had 7 volunteers and I’m delighted to say that these ladies realized that the Free Clothes Giveaway is a community event, as it has always was meant to be. With that said, mark Thursday, October 24th at 2pm on your calendar if you want to come out and help set up tables, and sort through the donations to put on those tables. The event is on Friday, October 25th from 9am until 5pm & Saturday, October 26th from 9am until 2pm. Volunteers will be needed to tear down…pack the clothing and put away the tables! And a volunteer will be needed to take the remaining clothing to Kingston or Belleville.

Addington Highlands to inherit the Kaladar Community Centre T he Kaladar Community Club will be shuttering the Kaladar Community Centre at the end of October. And after doing some due diligence, cleaning out some of the contents of the hall, shutting off the water and shutting down the furnace, they will be bringing the keys to the township office in Flinton and handing them to the township. “We made a presentation to council on September 17 outlining our financial shortfall and asking the township to provide support for us to keep the hall going but they decided not to,” said Penny Hinchey, the treasurer of the Kaladar Community Club. This shouldn’t be a surprise

school in the building before the school closed and the schoolhouse converted for community use. She said that the operating shortfall for the schoolhouse is close to but less than $10,000 per year. “It will cost the township more if they decide to keep it open,” she said. The community centre houses a second hand store that will need to find a new home at the end of the month. In the past the Land O’Lakes Tourist Association was a tenant, and there was a youth centre in the basement as well as a scamp camp in the summer. The centre also has a mural painted on the west facing wall, featuring Terry Fox, who passed through Kaladar when he was running across Canada. In recent years, maintenance and capital costs have escalated, due in part, to new provincial water regulations and other new requirements. One of the last straws was an order by the KFL&A Public Health that a new filtration system be installed. “We put them off for a long time about that, but eventually they had to make an order. We just can’t cover that extra cost,” Hinchey said. The Community Club received a grant of $5,500 from the Lennox and Addington Community Fund earlier this year for a new furnace, but knowing they cannot keep the building open, the community club did not buy a furnace and will be returning the grant money next week. “It is sad that this is happening but we can’t keep struggling to raise money just to keep falling further behind,” Hinchey said.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS
South Frontenac Stocksport S
tocksport, which is played on the ice in the winter and on asphalt the rest of the year, is a sport that has its roots in Austria and Bavaria, but it has taken hold in South Frontenac in recent years. Karl Hammer, whose family is mainly responsible for introducing the sport to South Frontenac over the last decade, is not only wildly enthusiastic about the sport, he is a pretty good player as well. He has recently qualified for the Canadian national team, which may result in an Olympic experience in 2026 when Stocksport will be a demonstration sport. Stocksport, also called Bavarian curling, uses a stock instead of a curling stone and can be played on or off the ice. Originally the local association was called the Kingston and Area Stock Association, but earlier this fall the name was changed to South Frontenac Stock-

sport. “We play all of our games in South Frontenac and our members are from here as well, there are about 75, so we thought the name should reflect that,” said Karl Hammer. Over the last few years, South Frontenac Stock stars have participated in World championships as Americas Cup competitions. One decorated player is Tyler McComish, a former student of Karl Hammers at Sydenham High School. This week, Tyler is heading to China, having been invited to help introduce the game to the Chinese. Hammer sees a bright future for Stocksport in South Frontenac, and he appeared before Council this week to talk about a facility that South Frontenac Ice Stock would like to see built at Harrowsmith Centennial Park.
Currently, they are using the tennis courts, which are also used for tennis and Pickleball, and there are a couple of reasons why this needs to change. For one thing it is hard to share the court for all three uses, and then there is the surface. It is akin to the ice needed for curling as compared to the ice that is needed for skating. For skating the smoother the surface, the better and for curling the ice needs to have a pebble, bumps that the stones can ride over in order to glide and curl. Similarly, tennis and Pickleball players prefer a smooth surface but IceStock needs a different finish, with some pebble in it as well to allow the stock to glide along the surface instead of grinding to a stop. As well, there have been concerns raised about damage to the tennis court
from stock sport. But for Karl Hammer, the potential for South Frontenac to be a national centre for Stock Sport by creating a purposebuilt facility, with a roof over it for winter use, is something that the township should consider, for recreational and for economic reasons. “The potential to host events right here in South Frontenac, is something the township should consider. It is good for local business, and good for the local community,” he said. Hammer said that a purpose-built facility for Ice Stock could also be used as an outdoor ice surface in the winter. Hammer also said that the facility could be built in stages as money becomes available. The roof can come later.

Golden Eagles take a pair from La Salle as Bubba Bowl returns F
by Craig Bakay
riday was a beautiful night for football in Sydenham. So, it was only fitting that the Sydenham High School Golden Eagles would take on the La Salle Black Knights in both senior and junior action for the semi-annual Bubba Bowl, an event to pay tribute to Alex (Bubba) Turcotte, a Sydenham football player who passed away May 15, 2001 from a cardiac defect. And no doubt Turcotte would have been proud of his Golden Eagles on this night, as the juniors won handily, 28-7 and the seniors followed suit 17-7. It looked like La Salle might make things difficult for Sydenham early on as they marched down to seemingly score in the opening moments, only to have a touchdown called back for not having an end on their offensive line. From then on, it was pretty much all Sydenham. Running back Josh Bennett scored a pair of touchdowns in the first half with slotback Brennan Finucane and QB Kieren McNeely each adding single tallies. The Sydenham offence ate up a lot of the clock with a mix of runs and passes. La Salle finally got on the board in the third quarter when quarterback Zach Flake scored and the Black Knights threatened towards the end of the game only to have promising drives snuffed out by a Darcy Jost interception and a fumble on the Sydenham goal line.
“Defensively, we have been getting our turnovers,” said defensive coordinator Jeff Ryan. “And the offense has been solid. “We haven’t really had to make big plays on offense.” Ryan said they had prepared quite a bit for La Salle but were somewhat surprised with what La Salle threw at them. “Credit to La Salle,” he said. “They executed. We had prepared for a few things that we didn’t see and they did some things we didn’t expect. But our kids adjusted well.” Ryan had high praise for all his team but said Bennett “is a grade 9 who is a heck of an athlete and very coachable. “And Finucane was key for us last year and probably one of the best athletes in KASSAA.” Ryan said that the Bubba Bowl doesn’t bring any extra pressure per se, but they do want to do well in it. “There’s no pressure but it does bring extra attention,” he said. “The coaches are all from the community and it’s well attended. And you want to do right by his (Turcotte’s) name.” The senior game had a little bit of extra emotion to it. As the sun went down and the temperature began to drop, the crowd observed a moment of silence for Wayne (Rat) Latimer, whose son, Jim, is the offensive co-ordinator for the senior Golden Eagles. The elder Latimer died the day before at the age of 76. “He was a phys. ed teacher and he coached everything (at QECVI and Sydenham) in-
The canteen was a busy spot at Friday night’s Bubba Bowl with hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, swag and all sorts of baked goodies like these served up by Julie Shaw-Boomhaur, Emma Hunt, Kaitlynn Newport, Brooklyn Ryan and Dustine Walle cluding football,” Latimer said. When asked if he thought his father would be looking down and pleased with the results of the games, Latimer said: “I hope so. This makes the game a little more special. The kids have been very kind.” As for the game itself, the final score was pretty indicative of how things went. Whether you like offence or defence, the Golden Eagles showed plenty of both, with standout performances on both sides of the ball. For example, defensive back Rayden Shetier had three interceptions (at key moments too) and was all over the place. Ethan Coulas also had an interception as did Justin Jones. And on offense, running back Chad Branscombe showed off some classic skills as both a receiver and running back, scoring a TD and being a big factor in Sydenham’s
ball control game. “Ah, the Honeycomb,” said Latimer. “He’s old time . . . our go-to guy.”. “He sees the field very well,” said quarterback Jake Richards, who connected with Branscombe on a couple of long passes and also with WR Brandon Nicolson on a beauty bomb to the back of the end zone. “He (Branscombe) sees the field better than anyone I’ve ever played with. He’s a dual threat and goes inside and outside equally well. It’s not bad to share the ball a little bit with a guy like that.” Coach Latimer, who was instrumental in the very first Bubba Bowl said they’ll keep doing it because “the kids love it.” When asked if he remembered that first game, many years ago, with the snow blowing horizontal across the field, he said. “Like it was yesterday.”
