Cloyne District Historical Society Celebrates 50 years

Preserving the past for the future.

ifty years have passed since the original Pioneer Club members joined to record and celebrate the rich history of their ancestors in the communities of Addington Highlands and North Frontenac. On Saturday June 24, 2022, about 60 museum supporters gathered in Benny’s Lake Heritage Park in Cloyne. We tapped our toes to the “North of 7 Bluegrass” stylings of The New Pickled Chicken, enjoyed barbeque lovingly prepared by Janet and Joe Wilson and Cathy Newcombe, and reconnected with each other after two long years of COVID, and the storms that have recently ravaged our area. During words of welcome from by Shirley Sedore and Ken Hook, the museum staff, Rebecca Delyea, Josie Heyman, and Jacob Heyman distributed delicious, frosted chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. Margaret Axford spoke the genesis of the Pioneer Club and its’ 50-year evolution of documenting the lived experiences of the local people. The community has continued to diversify and grow, with waves of new members from “South of 7” who come seeking the rugged beauty of this beloved land. Catherine Grant of the Cloyne District Historical Society’s Board formally welcomed the communities of Griffith and Matawatchan to the CDHS catchment area, an effort championed by Lois and Mark Thomson, publishers of the Madawaska Highlander. Thomson remarked that the consolidation is logical as the communities of Denbigh, Vennacher, Griffith and Matawatchan have many important historical linkages. Nancy Strachan of the Land O’Lakes Garden Club spoke to the Truth and Reconciliation Medicine Wheel that has been thoughtfully and beautifully created as a remembrance to the Indigenous children who lost their lives and suffered staggering traumas in the Canadian

residential school system. The garden lies between the Museum and the Barrie Hall on Highway 41. Strachan said that garden is designed as a large medicine wheel, featuring four sacred plants: cedar, sage, sweetgrass, and tobacco. It is the Garden Club’s hope that this space can be used as an open and safe meeting place for dialogue and storytelling among Indigenous and Settler communities, so that together we may acknowledge the past and begin to heal. The Cloyne Pioneer Museum will be open every day from 10 am to 4 pm through Labour Day. Stop by for a museum tour or to pick up one of our many books about local history.

Road Worker seriously injured by oncoming vehicle

he Frontenac Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating a motor vehicle collision that resulted in serious injuries to 63-year old Christopher Clayton, a resident of Addington Highlands. On Friday, June 24, at approximately 9:30 a.m., Officers from the Frontenac Detachment of the OPP, Central Frontenac Fire and Rescue and Frontenac Paramedics Service responded to a two-vehicle collision on Westport Road in Central Frontenac Township. OPP Technical Collision Investigators (TCI) attended to assist. Initial investigation determined that the driver of an eastbound vehicle collided with a road paving vehicle that was patching Westport Road. Clayton, a member of the construction crew, was then struck by the paving vehicle and seriously injured. He was airlifted to the hospital by Air Ornge with life threatening injuries. The other driver was not injured, nor were any other construction workers. The Ministry of Labour (MOL) was notified of the incident and attended the scene as well. The cause of the collision is currently under investigation. Clayton was working for a sub-contracting company, that was working on patching the section of Westport that runs through Central Frontenac. The same company is also working for South Frontenac Township, doing similar work on the South Frontenac section of the Westport Road. Tysen Myers, the Public Works Manager for Central Frontenac Township, said the township and its staff was shaken by the incident.

“We held a stand down meeting with our township road crew this morning, just to go over our safety protocols and see what is working and what improvements we can make,” he said. The name of the driver has not been released, and the OPP, but OPP officials said this week that charges are pending against that individual. There was no timeframe offered for the completion of the investigation. As far as the OPP is aware, Christopher Clayton remains in hospital ■

ATV Rollover Results In Death Of Driver

he Frontenac Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating a fatal collision. On June 27, at approximately 2:30 p.m., Officers from the Frontenac Detachment of the OPP, North Frontenac Fire Rescue and Frontenac Paramedics responded to an All-Terrain-Vehicle (ATV) rollover on Shiner Road in North Frontenac Township. OPP Technical Collision Investigators (TCI) attended to assist. Initial investigation determined that the driver of a westbound ATV lost control and was ejected from the vehicle. The driver of the ATV, Ryan Solman, 40 years old from Huntsville was pronounced deceased at the scene. The cause of the collision is currently under investigation .■

SFCS Looking At Future Community Needs

By Jeff Green Greg Fisher got to know about Southern Frontenac Community Services (SFCS) while he was on the board of the Community Foundation For Kingston and Area (CFKA). Among other Frontenac County based organisations, SFCS was always being considered for specific project grants. Fisher retired from KPMG's Kingston office in 2009, and moved to South Frontenac. When his stint on the CFKA Board ended, he accepted an offer to join the SFCS Board in 2018, and is now entering his second year as Board Chair. Much of the attention of the board, and of Fisher as well, is on the fundraising and logistics around a renovation and upgrade to the Grace Centre, which is

services for seniors and adults in need; the Adult Day Program, fresh and frozen meals on wheels, and the food bank, but not that many realise the scope of our agency, that for example, we put on about 21 different programs,” he said in an interview following his address to the SFCS Annual Meeting on June 17. He said that the current facilities, (which include two portables that were acquired for free from the Limestone Board because they were already outdated and have now been used by SFCS to house admin offices and the food bank for another 11 years) “have more than reached their best before date”. The portables do not have running water, and not only do admin and food bank staff need to go into the Grace Centre to use the washroom, food bank operations are severely hindered. The new food bank facility will have a washing station sufficient to clean and prepare produce that comes from the on-site garden and greenhouse program, as we donate produce, but it will also have a cold storage room, and offer a much improved experience for volunteers and food bank users alike. It also includes washrooms. “David Townsend, our Executive Director, has explored every avenue for government funding to upgrade our facility, without success, and a couple of years ago our board realised that we were going to have to do it ourselves, with only local support.” He said that when South Frontenac Township agreed to provide $750,000 in funding for the construction of a 3,200 square foot addition to the Grace Centre, which will eliminate the portables and give both agency staff and food bank users a facility designed for what he

said are “the future needs of the community”, it was a real shot in the arm for the project. It underlines the fact that this is not a project for our agency, it is for the South Frontenac community in general.” There are more than 8,000 seniors in the SFCS catchment area, which includes South Frontenac and rural Kingston, and Fisher pointed out that while all of the projections for demographic change differ in some details, a significant increase in that number, over the next 20 years, is common to them all. Last month, in preparation for a fundraising drive to raise the balance required for the construction project to be paid in full, (SFCS is awaiting the final tender results) a series of workshops were held around the township about the project and the breadth of services SFCS offers, all of which are designed to make aging at home, for as long as possible, more viable for seniors and adults in need. Last week, the Storrington Lions Club made a $12,000 commitment to the project, (see sidebar) and Fisher said that one of the reasons for the donation is that the Lions and SFCS share a commitment to food security and to the wellbeing of local residents. “The Lions donation is another boost for us,” he said. For his part, SFCS Executive Director was taken with the support the agency received at the Annual meeting.” “I need to thank our board members and everyone in the community who have supported us through the last two, difficult years,” he said. “At our annual meeting, it was great to reflect on the past year and to learn more about our Community First Capital Campaign from Greg Fisher, and

Southern Frontenac Community Services board chair Greg Fisher with South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal

the impact we are having on the community, and the changes we are excited to make,” he added. Townsend also thanked both Mayor Ron Vandewal, and Councillor Alan Revill, who made personal donations to the campaign. Over the summer, the capital campaign will be underway, and donations are being accepted at SFCS. ca by clicking the donate button and choosing Capital Campaign on the donation form. ■

benefit our residents and community because it will improve the Food Bank which has become an essential service in these uncertain times. As the cost of living continues to rise, we don’t want to see anyone go hungry. We hope other Lions clubs will match our gift and other organizations and individuals will stepup to make a financial donation. With support, SFCS can reach its goal and have a shovel in the ground soon.” ■

Canada Day Is Back, But Time Has Not Stood Still SINCE 1970

've probably been to 25 Canada Day breakfasts at my local fire hall. For most of those years, the icons of the day, red and white and the maple leaf, seemed as sweet and benign as the maple syrup we pour into our coffee cups. In our part of rural Ontario, Canada Day has been a big deal for decades. The combination of national pride, the timing of Canada Day at the beginning of summer, and community groups that came together to create events that families really enjoyed, resulted in Canada Day festivities that are a highlight of the year. After the close call Quebec referendum in 1995, the federal government invested in a massive branding exercise. Since then the fireworks have improved, thanks to grant money, and the white and red, and maple leaf all over, hats and pins and flags, have been on full display each year. But something has changed over time. By the time Canada Day 2017, the 150th anniversary celebration, came along, recognition that Canada’s success was based on more than hard work and kindness, had

become mainstream. Icons such as the Maple Leaf, and our first prime Minister, John A. Macdonald, had been tarnished. This has not changed Canada Day in our rural communities. The fun is in the events, the music, the strawberries, the beach and the onset of summer vacation, and the sun, when we are lucky enough to have a sunny Canada Day. But the recognition about how the political, economic, environmental and social culture that all comes together to make Canada the country that it is, was built on the elimination of a previous culture on these lands, and the continued subjugation of its Indigenous peoples and the descendants, is now a part of our national psyche. That is what the path towards reconciliation is. We don't stop celebrating, or enjoying what we have, but we do so without the illusion that Canada is anything more than a flawed country that we need to work on together. The flag of Canada has become as much a symbol of our failures, as of our successes, as a nation. We have been forced to stay at home on Canada Day for two years, and we are finally coming back together to enjoy each other’s company and our short summer, but as we do so, the meaning of the flag that we wave on Canada Day has changed

once again. The Freedom Convoy came to Ottawa this past winter and, among other things, claimed the flag as their own. They hold to the concept that the flag is untarnished, that it represents a view of Canada as free from restrictions, not only the physical restrictions over COVID, but any blemish on the unabashed pride in Canada's economic and cultural standing in the world. I may be wrong, but my understanding is that, at least some of the groundswell of support for what the Freedom Convoy represents, is a reaction to this idea that we are a flawed country, that we have a past to answer to, and that we need to change in order to get better. The argument is that we have worked hard, built prosperity and a comfortable life for ourselves, and all of the churning political changes that are part of our contemporary landscape are a threat to that prosperity and that comfort. The concern I have about this is that this is nostalgia for a past that never existed. It is also a very real threat to the hard-fought gains, not only of Indigenous peoples, but

of people of colour, the queer community, linguistic minorities, among others, and that it treats our existential battle against climate change as some kind of political trick designed to take our freedoms away. All of this resentment seems to be captured in the figure of Trudeau and is behind the Fuck Trudeau flags that were flying this past winter. Just as the figure of John A. Macdonald has become a trigger for many, in the wake of all the revelations about the residential school system that he was central in creating, the figure of our current prime minister is a trigger for the Freedom Convoy supporters. All of this will be played out in Ottawa this week, and I suspect in federal politics when the Conservative Party chooses a new leader this fall. It will not be top of mind in our Canada Day festivities this week, however. If the weather is good, our first Canada Day in three years will do what we need it to do, mark the beginning of a joyous Canadian summer after a two-year pandemic. We need the summer each year after our long winters, and we need it even more this year. ■

Gardening Tips

As peaceful and relaxing as gardening can be, it’s undeniable it brings with it a lot bending, twisting, reaching and pulling. Your back, upper legs, knees, shoulders, and wrists can all become affected while gardening. As with any activity that will put stress of strain on your muscle, it’s imperative to stretch because warm muscles will work more efficiently and be less likely to be injured. Avid gardeners know that there is a lot of twisting to reach the space around you. A good rule of thumb to follow is to squarely face whatever you are working on to reduce twisting. To go along with this, never over reach; move to the job and keep moving to be close to your work. If you are going to be a lot of digging, keep your elbows partially bent. Without proper technique when preforming a repetitive movement like digging you may end up developing tennis elbow. You should be trying not to reach above your shoulders when watering your potted plants. A sturdy ladder is your best friend when it comes to keeping work below shoulder level. Putting constant stress on your shoulders by constant reaching above can cause a shoulder impingement or another type of rotator cuff injury. Avoid pinching and pulling repetitively with your finger and thumb. This usually creeps up when using pruning scissors. If you are going to pruning or using a similar motion, hold objects with a light grasp or pinch, avoid a tight sustained grip. Believe it or not, the shovel, spade, rake, etc., you are using could be the direct cause of your discomfort. It is important to buy tools that are appropriate for your size. Try out your gardening tools before you purchase them to make sure handle size, length of spindle, and weight are right for you. It’s also important to make sure tools meant for digging are kept sharp as that will reduce the amount of effort needed to move your dirt.

• Some of this is late news: On June 17th, on our weekly run to Chuck’s at Palmerston Lake Marina, there was a special early birthday get together for Olive Allen and some of her friends. • On Saturday, June 18th, Alice (our driver), Erma, Olive, Harriett, Ruth and Morley and I attended the Sharbot Lake 39er’s 50th Anniversary. It was also a gathering for Catherine Tysick - which she knew nothing about (don’t you love surprises?). Master of Ceremonies was Doug Steele. The Sharbot Lake Senior’s Club was organized in May 1972 and they met every 2nd Tuesday of the month downstairs at the North Frontenac Phone Company. A potluck lunch followed the meeting and there was often entertainment after the lunch. A good crowd was on hand to say good-bye to Catherine Tysick who is on another career journey in her life. • Catherine was presented with a painting of her home, painted by Carol Raymo (beautiful). She also got flowers and gift card. There were speeches by Mayor Frances Smith, Catherine’s husband Jim and others but I can’t remember. • On June 21st, Olive’s actual 93rd birthday, our driver Alice took us to the Fall River Café for lunch. There were seven of us – Bev Ladurantye, Lorie Ryder, Erma Millar, Alice Gilchrist, Harriett Riddell, myself and Olive. We had a great meal, as always, and staff brought out a piece of cherry cheesecake with a candle for Olive and everyone in the restaurant joined in singing Happy Birthday to her. • Congratulations to Gerry and Kathi on the arrival of granddaughter Norah Jean and to John and Molly on the birth of twin granddaughters – Sophie and Eilidh. They were over 6 lbs and born on June 1st. I bet all these grandparents are over the moon with happiness. • Sympathy to the family of Lorne Cook. Our thoughts and

prayers are also with the McCarthy family. • There will be an internment for Gloria McEwen on July 9th at Crawford’s Cemetery at 1:00pm. • Thank you, Elaine, for keeping me in assorted muffins and also for cleaning my Dyson. Thank you, Gale, for thinning out my lilacs. Thanks to Alice for driving me and carrying groceries and all the things you do for me. Thank you to all my friends for all you do for me to bring out my happy hormones. I love you all and you all know who you are – Pearl’s angels. • Thanks to Nuala for the best spaghetti sauce, it was delicious – hope to get to see you soon at the Shamrock Bakery. • Rob Lemke (my grandson) and Maddie Pearl (my great granddaughter) had their annual father/daughter camping weekend on June 17th. They went to Sharbot Lake Provincial Park. Maddie – these will be memories you will never forget. Congratulations to my great granddaughter, Maddie, who graduated from Queen’s University with a Bachelor of Science with Honours, majoring in Biology who will now have 4 years in Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Health and Science for Doctor of Optometry. Best wishes to Matthew Ruis – I bet you are so happy to be home for the summer after being in Toronto Sick Kids for two months for all kinds of operations, tests and rehab, etc., etc. Matthew is our super kid. I wish you a wonderful, safe summer with only good things. You have been through enough. • My thought this week: Don’t burn bridges. You may be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.

• We sadly report the sudden passing of Patrick McCarthy. Our sincere condolences to Gordon, Sigrid, Erin and family. • Palmerston Lake Association held a workshop on the invasive species of Eurasian Water-Milfoil at the Community Centre last Saturday. Water-Milfoil can crowd out native plants and reduce oxygen levels which can kill fish. It is a perennial that grows under the water surface and has feather-like green leaves that circle the stem in groups of 4 or 5. It blooms in July/August with tiny reddish flowers on spikes above the water. If cut, small bits of it flow down the lake, drop to the bottom, root and create a new plant in a short time. So it is important to dispose of all of the plant. Remove all plants, animals and mud from your boat before moving to a new waterbody. Pulling the weed out by the roots is the best way to get rid of it. Remove it if you see any floating on the lake. • When looking at events around the world, we can count ourselves lucky to live here. Be proud of our country, and be vigilant. Democracy is fragile. Happy Canada Day.

South Frontenac Moving Toward Greater Climate Action by Wilma Kenny

erri Jerreat, an author and recently-retired teacher from Inverary, came to Council on June 21 as a delegate to present the case for South Frontenac forming a Climate Advisory Committee. Her presentation was both concise and convincing: she referred to the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as storms, tornados, extreme heat, and flooding: “South Frontenac covers 941 sq. km. with over 75 lakes, many rivers, wetlands and woodlands with a rich natural diversity to protect. It does not have urban pavement heat islands– but the climate crisis is happening here too.” The Township needs not only emergency plans, as it already has, but also has to maintain up-to-date information, flexibility and speed to be able to be prepared for future disasters. As shown in the design of the new Storrington firehall (KWH solar power plant on the roof, and heat pump to provide both heat and cooling,) how can Council continue to lead the Township in lowering our region’s carbon emissions? “How", Jerreat asked, “can our elected Mayor and Councillors be experts in all areas? Or keep up with reading all the latest information on the Environment and the Climate Crisis as well as all their other duties?” This is where a committee of informed citizens ( to include representatives from the Conservation Authorities and climatologists, science professors, and various other experts)) could be of help: as in several other municipalities (she listed Mississauga, North Grenville and Arnprior). An advisory committee could do research: (what are other municipalities doing?) locate resources, grants or corporate funding, and bring Council and residents useful information. Reaction was positive. Councillor Sutherland asked where the Township currently stood in relation to its climate action plan; CAO Fragnito said that although it was still in initial stages, it was high priority, and she felt an advisory committee was an excellent suggestion. Mayor Vandewal noted that Council had been “doing things for the past ten years, that have generally been unnoticed. He cited the replacement of all street lights with downwarddirected lamps: Jerreat suggested that perhaps the Township’s website could include a section highlighting their climate action initiatives. Sleeth, Roberts and Vandewal all agreed that Jerreat’s proposals were excellent. ■

Addington Highlands Council - June 21 by Jeff Green ecause of the extensive damage from the May 24 Derecho, Mazinaw Lakeside Resort will not be able to run their annual summer music night in July, but the owners are hoping to be able to do so in September, and asked the township to defer the noise bylaw exemption that they require for amplified music, until September 17. Council approved the request without comment. Tree removal request accepted, but compensation not in the cards. Darlene and Mike Bunn, property owners on Mazinaw Lake, have approached the township about two trees that were severely damaged by the recent wind storm, which are located on the shore road allowance that is adjacent to their property. After being informed by Public Works Manager Brett Reavie, that they “have permission to remove the trees because of the risk they pose”, the Bunn's wrote to Council with a question about “responsibility and liability” “I read the email,” said Reeve Henry Hogg, “are they requesting just for us to approve the removal of the trees, or do they want compensation as well?” Councillor Miles made a motion to approve the removal of the trees. “No compensation,” said Reeve Hogg. “I don't think historically we would compensate for the removal of trees on a road allowance,” said Deputy Reeve Tony Fritsch. Request to waive permit fees denied Lynn Garish, a township resident dealing with repairs as the result, again, of wind storm damage, requested that the township waive the required building permit fees. “It would seem unfair for residents to have to pay these fees through no fault of their own and would be a good gesture by the township,” she wrote. “It is likely covered by insurance and the insurance will be paying the fees. Why should everyone else in the township pay?” said Reeve Hogg. “The purpose of the fees is to make sure the code is followed and also to cover the costs. So if we waive it in one case, someone else in our township is covering those costs,” said Deputy Reeve Fritsch. “When someone is hit hard already and they have to ask about relief, it is difficult to say no, my empathetic side is coming out a little,” said Councillor David Miles. A motion to reject the request was approved, with Councillor Miles casting the only dissenting vote. Clark road request Marlean Mcllean, of Clark Road, has asked the township to do work on her road and put in a new, larger culvert. Works Manager Reavie said there is no immediate risk of flooding on the road, and said the problem is related to beaver dams on the landowners property, which the township has taken out in the past, but is not expected to be permitted to do in the future. “The resident would also like us to send them a costing of all work done on that road since 2017,” said Chief Administrative Officer Christine Reed. “We do a road needs study every five years and follow that. And as for sending the resident a costing, if we did that every time someone asked for it, our staff would not

have time to do their other work,” said Reeve Hogg. Endorsements Council endorsed resolutions circulated from other Ontario municipalities advocating for better retirement home funding and for the government to revisit some of the provisions of Bill 109, the More Homes for Everyone Act, that impinge on municipal authority. A third resolution, to endorse a federal private members bill that “will raise the level of education on domestic violence and coercive control, for federally appointed judges,” sparked the following response from Councillor Miles: “We could have bills for everything. There is a lot of focus already in our education system on this sort of thing. I think we should go back to the old read and write and arithmetic sort of thing. I don't disagree that this is important, but putting added emphasis on it, in particular, when educating our kids can be dangerous.” “I think they are referring to general education, not the education system,” said Councillor Kirby Thompson. “I think they are referring to the legal system,” said Tony Fritsch. The motion passed unanimously. AHEAD Committee Council accepted a request from the long standing AHEAD (Addington Highlands Economic Advisory and Development) Committee to develop new terms of reference for the committee, and will also act on a request for some township recognition for business milestones within Addington Highlands. Wind storm clean up The wind storm cleanup is continuing but work is slow and tedious, and there are still some issues with Bell lines restricting areas that we can access,” Works Manager Reavie told Council “Some of the work is quite dangerous and we have hired contractors to come in and give us a hand. Reavie said there are two invoices already, one of more than $100,000, one smaller one, and more to come. The township is keeping all receipts in case there is a possibility for provincial relief. Council agreed to accept storm related brush and tree waste for free at local waste sites, until Labour Day. The sites are filling up with the brush but have been able to cope, this far, Reavie said. Tony Fritsch said “I would like to add another thank you to the roads department for all the work they have done. I think the residents appreciate what is going on. “The staff went above and beyond,” said Kirby Thompson. “When there is an emergency, there is never a question that we can count on them to come and help out at any hour of the day or night. I think we all know that.” CBO report Chief Building Official David Twiddy said that while permits have been steady they are well below last year. “We expect that is because COVID allowed people to do work that they had not had time to do before,” he said. He expects to be busy for the rest of the season with wind storm repairs, and encourages residents to take out permits and get the benefit of his knowledge and experience with the building code. I like to think I am pretty easy to work with,” he said.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Frontenac Business Services Celebrates Diverse Businesses By Jeff Green

t the Annual Meeting last week, Frontenac Business Services, a federally funded agency offering financing, business and financial advice to Frontenac County entrepreneurs, outlined its activities for the year. The meeting went over the dollar value of the loans and grants that the agency made available in 2021, details about its own finances, and activities of the board and staff. Among the activities was the revamping of the FAB Frontenac website, which features a growing number of value added Frontenac County food businesses. The meeting then pivoted to presentations by two new local business ventures, one of which has become well known, while the other is specialised. Roland Jensch, who runs Grains and Goods Bakery in Sydenham, described himself as an unlikely entrepreneur.

He move to his wife's family farm near Sydenham five years ago with the goal of raising children in a healthy environment. When he found that the kind of bread that he grew up eating in Germany was not available, he ended up taking up bread baking, a passion that was passed down through his family. One thing led to another and he now runs Grains and Goods Bakery in Sydenham, where people line up to pay premium prices for hearty sourdough bread made with Red Fife wheat and other grains, which is as locally sourced as possible. He had five employees working out of the bakery, as well as family members helping out. “I never thought I would be up speaking at an event like this,” he said, “but this is my story.” Not only was his speech well received, but the cookies he brought were gobbled up by those atteding the breakfast meeting. The other company that was featured,

AtlasK9, offers a unique specialised service, bed bug detection using dogs. Chris Stoness from the Perth Road area, has been running a window cleaning service for ten years. He has gotten to know to of his local community members Jeff Dixon and Paul Doak, who are both police officers who work with the Canine unit. It turns out that dogs can be trained to sniff out bed bugs as well as explosives and drugs, and when Chris learned about this from Jeff and Paul, and learned that dogs are so good at sniffing out bed bugs that they save time and money because identifying the exact location of bed bugs makes extermination much easier and quicker. There is dog based bed bug removal industry in the United States, and Chris decided to partner with Jeff and Paul to being it to Canada. They now have two dogs, Sniper and

PAGE 15

Riley, both Black Labs that were raised and trained in North Carolina, and are busily booking work throughout southern Ontario in the residential, industrial and accommodations sectors. As part of his presentation, Chris brought in one of the dogs, Sniper, to provide a demonstration using a hidden “faux-bed bug.” It made for an unusual Annual Meeting, as attendees watched a dog sniffing the corners of the room for bed bugs as they munched on giant soft cookies. Anne Prichard, the Executive Director of Frontenac Business Services said that the two businesses that she chose to feature this years, are examples of the kind of passion that makes her want to go to work each day.

K&P Trailhead Opens In Verona K &P App unveiled

he Verona trailhead improvements have been completed, and the facility that provides a convenient parking location for trail users, in particular those riding ATV’s, is fully open for use. The Verona Trailhead improvements will increase safety and accessibility on the trail. Included in the project are improved road crossings, additional trail edge protection, and new trail rest areas with benches,” said a release from Frontenac County, operator of the K&P Trail. The project was funded through grant from the federal government under the Community, Culture, and Recreation stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP). The location of the trailhead is important to trail users, because it is at the exact location where motorised vehicles are permitted going north, and not permitted going south. At the grand opening event on Tuesday, June 28, South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal pointed out that the township provided the location, which had been a service station, to Frontenac County for free. “The County got a really good deal from the Township on this chunk of property. But it’s looking great!” he said. Richard Allen, the Director of Economic Development for Frontenac County, said the trail has had “some very heavy use since 2020, and this will make it easier for users to gain access. I would like to thank Verona Community Association for donating the flag and the trail kiosk.” The K&P Trail, once complete, will connect downtown Kingston to the Town of Renfrew where it intersects with the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail. The Frontenac K&P Trail connects several villages and hamlets across three townships in Frontenac County. The trail intersects with the Tay-Havelock Trail in Central Frontenac and the Cataraqui Trail in South Frontenac. Together the three trails form the Trans Canada Trail route through Frontenac County.
