“A car was later stolen in Harlowe, so they must have gotten away,” said Marlon. Marlon added that his family have been living on Kennebec Road for 35 years and have never seen any thing like this. “There are only six houses between us and the begin ning of the road, and there usually is not much traffic on the road. We have heard ATV’s buzzing up the road at night, which has never happened before either, and it isn’t anyone local,” he said. Marlon said that he had noticed a jerry can of fuel missing a few days earlier but did not report it, thinking it may have been misplaced, but now thinks that it might be part of the same rash of incidents that had rocked the local community in recent weeks.First, there was the rob bery on the 12th. “On August 12, just be fore 11am, an individual entered a business on Highway 41 in Northbrook and approached an em ployee indicating that they were armed and demand ing cash. The individual then fled the scene in a vehicle with a quantity of cash,” said an OPP report. It was later reported lo cally that it was the Bank of Montreal that was robbed. That incident led to an arrest.“On August 14, OPP Lennox and Addington De tachment officers conduct ing patrol located the vehicle matching the description from the robbery. The lone occupant was identified by po lice and arrested in connection to the Northbrook robbery. The accused has also been linked to two other robberies in Pembroke and Mississippi Mills.”

She said that once the details are confirmed a release will be forthcoming, later this week ■

(KFLAPH)

On August 29, the Frontenac News reached out to the OPP for details and confirmation about the incidents on Kennebec Road on August 28.

The overall per capita death rate in Ontario is 2.5 times higher than it is in KFL&A, the rate in Canada is almost 3 times higher, and the rate in the United States is 9 times higher.67.5% of KFL&A residents over 12 years old have re ceived 3 doses of vaccine, and 25.9% of residents over 18 years old have received 4 doses. Close to 90% of residents over 5 years old have re ceived at least 2 doses.

Arralyne Gomez was already planning to travel from her home in Napanee on Sunday (August 28) to visit her grandfather, Robert Lloyd, who lives on Kennebec Road, near Northbrook. But when she got a call telling her that his ATV had been stolen from the front yard, she jumped in the car right away to help him, and other family members, search for the missing vehicle up and down the back roads in the Northbrook/Harlowe area.

The OPP had also been called. As Arralyne was getting close to her grandfather’s house, about a kilometre away, she came across an OPP cruiser and saw an officer talking to a man in his late 40’s or early 50’s. The man wass standing next to a red pickup truck. There was smoke as well, behind them “At first, I thought the man was a passer by like I was, who had just stopped to talk to the officer, but then I saw the officer escort the man to the police cruiser and place him in the back seat. He then searched the man’s pock ets and removed a bag that had some white powder in it. It really was like I was watching tv,” she said in an inter view on Monday (August 29). She then saw that just passed the pickup there was a vehicle in the ditch, and that it was on fire.

■ COVID Numbers Steady As School Year Gets Underway

By Green

By Jeff Green

On August 30, Constable Brianna Raison, Communi ty Safety/ Communications Officer with the Lennox and Addington OPP detachment, wrote back, saying: “I can confirm that there was an incident that took place a cou ple days ago, it looks like on the morning of August 28 in Addington Highlands. However, I can’t confirm details at this time as there is an ongoing investigation underway.”

KHealth released their advice going back (see article last week.

Rash Of Thefts In Addington Leads To TV Moment On Kennebec Road Xavier Gomez.

As a result of the arrest, James Finnegan 63 years-old, of no fixed address, was charged with 3 counts of robbery with violence and disguise with intent to commit a crime, one count of flight from police and operation of a vehicle while prohibited from driving, and 6 counts of possession of the proceeds of crime.

“Not everyone out here has a garage or a shed with a door and lock to keep all vehicles, ATV’s, lawn tractors, secure like that,” he said. “Besides, we never had any thing like this happen on our quiet roads until now.”

on page 3)

“The vehicle had definitely crashed into the ditch, and it looked like anyone who had been it would have been crushed, and then it had been set on fire,” she said. According to Marlon Lloyd, Robert’s son and nextdoor neighbour, two other people fled the scene into the woods. The OPP called in a canine unit, but it took time for the unit to arrive, and the men were not found.

Later, on August 18, Lennox and Addington OPP re ported that there had been a string of incidents that they believe occurred the previous Sunday night (August 14), including “multiple reports of tires being slashed on ve hicles, as well as other reports of varying damage to ve hicles that may be related. It is believed there may be fur ther occurrences that have not been reported to police. At that time, OPP reminded local vehicle owners of some ways to reduce their chances of victimization, by: keeping vehicles locked at all times with the alarm sys tem activated if available; parking in a garage if available, or a well-lit area; installing exterior lights and cameras; and always inspecting vehicles for damage before hitting theMarlonroad. Lloyd said that some of the OPP recommenda tions are not as viable in rural areas than they would be in places like Napanee.

The COVID statistics for the region have not changed that much over the last month, and the death toll has in creased to 701, from 62 earlier in the summer.

Highlands

There were 12 residents in hospital with COVID as of August 30, 3 of whom were in the intensive care unit. The test positivity rate was 19.5%, which is down from its peak earlier in the month, but up over where it has been for most of the summer. Wastewater data was up over where it has been for most of the summer in 2 of 3 sample locations, ACataraqui Bay and Kingston East, but not as high as it had been earlier in August at the Amherstview treatment plant. I spite of continuing deaths from COVID, the per capita death rate in the region over the entire pandemic is still low when compared to the Province of Ontario, Canada as a whole, or the United States.

A petition, sponsored by Marlene Bertrim, whose house is located at the juncton of the two streets, has been launched. The petition asks that the street remain open to two-way traffic.Opponents of a one way solution, point out that there will be a bottleneck at the bottom of the hill, with the trail, Medi cal Centre Street, and two small residential streets, all meet ing at the some spot. As the matter appears to be headed back to council, the possibility of revising the decision regarding the direction of the street is a real one. The infrastructure required to turn one lane of Mathew Street into a pedestrian walkway is not integral to the main work of the $640,000 construction project, which is already underway. The main goal of the project, is to repair the failed pavement on the road and replace the drain that collects water from the entire hamlet and is 1-5 years from failing. The logic behind the decision to make Mathew a one-way street for vehicles, and a two way lane for pedestrians and bicycles, is based in part on a desire to create a safe way for pedestrians to access the village from the beach and trail, and vice versa.

Public Works Manager Tysen Meyers presented the proj ect proposal to council in June, accompanied by aconsult ing engineer from Jewel En gineering. On that occasion, he pointed out that when there a lot of people in the area of the beach, such as on busy summer weekends and, in particular, on Can ada Day, pedestrians and cyclists have no safe way to go back and forth between the trail/beach at the bottom of the street, and the top of theThestreet.only way is to walk up and down along the nar row two-way Mathew street, or walk the length of Medi cal Centre road to Road 38, cross 38 to the sidewalk and walk up a hill to Eliza beth street and cross Road 38 again in order to get to ElizabethCouncillor Bill Macdonald asked if there was any way to widen Mathew Street to have enough room for a pedes trian walkway and two lanes for vehicles. Meyers said that there are two problems with that option. One is the cost of moving existing hydro poles, $50,000 to$100,000, and the other is the minimal space in front of the homes on Mathew. As he put it, either the vehicles will be inconvenienced, or pedestrians will be unsafe, and he recommended making safety the priority. Looking at the matter from these two perspectives, it be comes apparent that there is no ideal solution to the issue, neither the one-way nor the two-way option are ideal. There is also a larger problem. If the tourism potential of Sharbot Lake Beach is realised, traffic in that location will increase year over year. And there is not enough space at that location for lots and lots of traffic throughout the sum merThemonths.entranceway off Road 38 goes past Belong Sharbot Lake, which has a small parking lot, and the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team and Dental Clinic that already have full parking lots on weekdays, year-round. This leaves few parking spots for people seeking access to the beach and trail, and road access that looks more like a parking lot than roadway.Thewhole area is located at a very narrow point of land between the two basins of Sharbot Lake, and there is noth ing that can be done to change that. The only real way to create a tourism ready Sharbot Lake beach and trail loca tion would be to move the Family Health Team to a less picturesque location, free up a lot of parking and use the building for a tourism related business, or tear it down alto gether and turn it into green space by the beach and trail to theAnothersouth. option is to abandon the idea of promoting the beach as a tourism destination, and leave it as a hidden gem used by local residents and tourists ‘in the know’. Until now, that has worked well. It has been a public space for at least 50 years, without incident. Trying out Mathew Street as a one-way road with a pe destrian walkway to see how it works would be easy enough to do, as the decision can be reversed at any time. Dealing with the potential influx of tourists at the Sharbot Lake narrows will not be as easy. ■

By Jeff Green June 28, Central Frontenac Council approved the concept plan for the final small part of the Sharbot Lake Road reconstruction project that was mostly completed in the summer of 2020 The plan was about the repaving of a short downhill street called Mathew that runs between the main commercial street , Elizabeth Street, and the Sharbot Lake Beach and K&P Trail, the principle tourist attraction of the hamlet and the assets around which a tourism promotion strategy has been developed. At the same meeting, council awarded the construction contract for the project. Staff had taken the unusual step of putting the project out to tender before presenting the concept plan to council. Repeated requests by the Frontenac News for explana tion of the reason for this truncated process, have not solic ited a response from Central Frontenac Township staff. The process was not of particular concern to Central Frontenac Council, however, as both the concept plan and the tender award were approved by them on June 28 with out noticeable dissent. Since then, however, there has been quite a bit public comment, from local residents as well representatives of two influential local groups in Sharbot Lake, the Railway Heritage Society and the Sharbot Lake Business Group, challenging the process and one specific aspect of the plan, changing Mathew from the two-way street as it is now, to a one street running from Elizabeth to Medica Centre Road, where the beach is located.

Why A One-Way Street In Sharbot Lake?

The 2019 City of Kingston Election Sign Bylaw, which repealed and replaced an election sign bylaw that was passed only 5 years earlier in 2014, is 15 pages long. It includes 9 whereas clauses, 4 pages of definitions, 12 general provisions, 14 other specific provisions, 11 special provisions, and 11 more provisions for signs on private property.Essentially, however, there are two key provision. The first 7.3 “No Person shall Place or permit to be Placed an Election Sign on or abutting Public Property includ ing a TheStreet.”second is 19.1 “Every Person who contravenes any provision of this By-law is guilty of an offence and upon conviction is liable to a fine of not more than Ten Thou sand Dollars ($10,000) for a first offence and not more than TwentyFive Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for any subsequent of fence.”Those who are still interested in post ing a sign promoting a council, mayoral, or school board trustee candidate in Kings ton on their own private property, would be wise to also look at clause 17.2, which says that the sign must be located at least 2 metres from “the traveled roadway or a ‘sight triangle’. I have no idea what a ‘sight triangle’ is, although it is one of the defined terms. See below for the defintion from the City of Kington bylaw* Given that $10,000 is the fine for a first offense, a private property owner would need to know exaclty where the road al lowance boundary in front of their property is, and understand a ‘sign triangle’ is well enough to ensure themselves it does not apply to them, before allowing their local eager political wannabe to put up a sign on theOneproperty.Kingston council candidate this time around has requested that all of the can didates in their ward adhere to a ‘no sign policy’.There is some opposition to restricting signs to private property, however.

By Jeff Green By Dr. Piotr Oglaza (Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington Public Health) and Dr. Ethan Toumishay (Hastings Prince Edward Public Health) The Medical Officers of Health from Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) and Kingston, Frontenac, and Lennox & Addington Public Health (KFL&APH) have released a joint state ment regarding the return to school for students and educators. As local students prepare to return to the classrooms in September, we antici pate that the 2022/2023 school year will proceed with minimal disruptions. Class room learning continues to offer the best educational, social, and emotional experi ences for children and youth, and we are encouraged that many activities such as clubs, groups, and sport teams, will take place this year. Students are encouraged to get involved and participate in extracur ricular activities to discover what inter ests them. These activities are beneficial for students’ physical, social, and mental health.

Advice From Medical Officers Of Health For Kfl&A And Hastings Prince Edward On The Return To School

By Jeff Green

*“Sight Triangle” means the triangular space formed by the Travelled Roadways of the Streets abutting a corner lot and a line drawn from a point in one Travelled Roadway to a point in the other Travelled Roadway, each such point being 5.0 m (16.5 ft.) from the point of intersection of the Travelled Roadways (measured along the curb lines or edge of pavement). Where the two Travelled Roadways do not inter sect at a point, the point of intersection of the Travelled Roadways shall be deemed to be the intersection of the projection of the curb lines or edge of pavement.”

Election Sign Bylaw – Kingston Has a Penchant for Complex Definitions

Luckily, election sign bylaws, where they exist in Frontenac County, are not so re strictive. That saves us all from measuring the distance from the centre of our road to the side of the road to make sure election signs are far enough off the roadway to be legal.The turnout in municipal elections is very low in Frontenac County, and many people do not know their district boundaries very well, because the boundaries are based on township boundaries from pre-amalgama tions days from pre-1998, when many cur rent residents were not yet living here. During municipal election, it is not until signs starting going up along the roadways that thre is any real sense among people that an election is underway. Candidates will be using social media more than ever this time around, and at the Frontenac News we will be doing election

(Editors note – readers who understand the above definition are to be admired for their acumen, but please do not call or write in to us to explain it. We don’t want to know)

A Queen’s PHD candidate Tim Abray said, in an article in the Whig Standard by Elliot Ferguson, “quite frankly, that is an as inine position,” pointing out that the bylaw results in a situation where only property owners having the ability to express their political viewpoint by allowing a sign to be put up, and those who rent do not.

coverage and hosting candidate meetings, but those venues only attract the attention of people who are already engaged in the election.Seeing road signs popping up with differ ent names on main roads and even back roads tells us that people are running, po sitions are being contested, andcandidates are interested in how our municipalities op erate.The fact that township staff and councils in our region are not spending their time regulating election signs, is an indication that our townships may not be as overstaffed as places like Kingston, where there is staff time and money available to spend on these kinds of frivolous pursuits.

optimizing Musculoskeletal Health in Your later Years 1/2 As the baby boomer generation reaches the age of retirement, seniors now make up the fastest-growing age group in Canada. By 2030, it is expected that 23.6% of Canadians will be age 65 or older. To give some perspective, in 2013 a mere 15.3% of the Canadian population was 65 or above. Not surprisingly, as we age and our bodies accumulate the effects of daily wear and tear, our musculoskeletal (MSK) system can become compromised as we are more susceptible to injury. Stiffer muscles, decreased range of motion and a loss of elasticity of connective tissue (ligaments, tendons and muscles) can decrease mobility and affect balance. Vertebrae and other bones lose some of their mineral content with time. For the spine, this can result in decreased vertebrae height, narrowed foramen and even compression fractures. Hip and knee joints may also lose cartilage. The healing process can be slowed and repair can take longer. This is more pronounced in the vertebral column. Degenerative changes to the MSK system start developing around age 30, and like everything relating to our health, is impacted by the choices we make every day. Chiropractic care can be very effective in helping seniors with pain management, range of motion, joint degeneration, posture and balance. Thinking about age-related degeneration should not be put off until you are older; making choices now that promote health can help slow the process. Some of the most common age-related MSK concerns are osteoporosis, spinal stenosis and limited mobility, and there are simple steps you can take to reduce your chances of developing them. Next week we will discuss 5 tips for optimizing your MSK health.

As with any time of transition, the return to school may be stressful for some families and students. All of us – in cluding our youngest residents – have been through a lot over the past few years. Students may require more sup port as they return to the classroom. While family support is essential to help students identify and respond to stress, additional supports are also available. Find information on our agencies’ websites or ask your student’s school about any in-school support that might be available. While there continues to be a risk of COVID-19, as with other infectious illnesses, families and educators must all work together to keep the risk as low as possible. We must continue to follow these practical public health mea sures to limit the spread of COVID-19 in schools. Screen for illness each school day, and stay home (or keep your child home) if sick. If anyone has symptoms of COVID-19, even mild ones, they should stay home. This will help prevent the spread of COVID-19, as well as other infectious illnesses. Follow instructions provided on the school screening tool, and any additional guidance available at Ontario.ca/exposed regarding isolation and/ or masking requirements. Check your students’ vaccination records and keep up to date. Up to date vaccination records for regular child hood vaccines are required for students attending school in Ontario. Due to COVID-19 related closures and service delays, many children and youth are not up to date on their regular vaccines. Regular childhood vaccines pre vent diseases such as polio, diphtheria, measles, pertus sis, hepatitis B, and more. Protect your child from these preventable illnesses by keeping their routine vaccines up to Getdate.your child caught up on their routine childhood vac cines, by booking an appointment with your health care provider or at one of KFL&APH’s routine immunization clinics.Parents and guardians are responsible for reporting their child’s vaccinations to public health. Find out kflaph. ca/ImmunizationReporting.StayuptodatewithyourCOVID-19 vaccinations. Chil dren and youth 6 months of age and over are now eli gible for COVID-19 vaccine, and youth 12 to 17 years of age are eligible for a booster dose six months after their second dose. Vaccinations continue to be the most effec tive way to limit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the severity of illness associated with the virus. HPEPH and KFL&APH continue to offer COVID-19 vaccination clin ics, which are posted on their websites. As we learn to live with COVID-19, school communi ties will continue to support healthy and safe classrooms and reduce the spread of illness through enhanced cleaning, absence monitoring, hand hygiene and respi ratory etiquette, and ventilation best practices. HPEPH and KFL&APH will support these efforts and continue to work with school communities to improve health and wellbeing of students and staff through provision of health promotion resources, curriculum supports, home-school communications resources, and in-person clinical ser vices in Togetherschools.withour school community partners, we look forward to welcoming local students back to school this September. As we learn to live with COVID-19, please continue to take reasonable and responsible steps to keep yourself, your family, your community, and our schools healthy and safe. ■

Sundance Artisan Show in Maberly

Looking Back Covers

Former Arden resident Gary Smith, who lives in Perth now, released the book “Ice War Diplomat” earlier this year. The book chronicled Smith’s integral role in the 1972 Canada Russia Hockey Series while serving as a Canadian dip lomat who was assigned to Moscow, and was published on the 50th anniversary of so-called Summit series. The book, which has been a top seller all summer, was also used as source ma terial for “Icebreaker” a documentary by Montreal based film-maker Robbie Hart and Toronto film-maker Peter Raymont. In the press package promoting the film, the film-makers talk about the unique take they took on the events, by looking beyond the well chronicled history of the games themselves, into the back story of how the series came about, how close it was to collapsing at various points, and what is legacy has been, “While other films have looked at the ’72 Summit Series from the players’ point of view, ICE-BREAKER enlarges the can vas to tell the story from the unique per spectives of a diverse cast of participants who are rarely heard: diplomats, NHL hockey legends, Soviet players, journal ists, fans, broadcasters, business leaders and Team Canada’s Chairman - all reveal untold, exclusive stories about what hap pened before, during, and after Septem ber ‘72.” Wayne Gretzky, Ron Maclean, Margaret Trudeau, Harnarayan Singh, Angela James, Danièle Sauvageau, Mike Keenan, Brian Conacher, Alan Eagleson, Terry Mosher (aka cartoonist AISLIN) are among the people interviewed in the film, in addition to Russian hockey legends Vladislav Tretiak, Alexander Yakushev and Boris Mikhailov - all bring their colour ful, highly engaging perspectives to the film.”The film is being screened in Kingston at the screening Room on September 9, but will have its work premieres in Perth on September 6 and 7 at the Perth Studio Theatre.Thefilm-makers and Gary Smith will be at the Perth screening on September 6, as will Terry Mosher whose drawings were extensively used in the film, along with hockey writer Roy McGregor, who was a consultant on the film. Tickets available at ticketsplease.ca. ■

The venue will give visitors the opportu nity to stroll along the booths of the artists, make their choice for a gift or just grab a chair and enjoy the beauty of the Fall Riv er. And as always, parking and entrance are free. What else in life could you wish for?Further details can be found on our website: www.sundancestudio.ca.

“Ice Breaker” Doc World Premier In Perth

Reviewed by Jeff Green The latest publication from the Cloyne and District Historical Society (CDHS) is a book that was put together by Marcella Neely, a long-time board member and active member of the CDHS and a current mem ber of the communications committee It is called Looking Back, and it follows Highway 41 from just south of Hwy. 7, where Kaladar was located years ago. The village was originally called Scouten, and the name was changed to Kaladar Station in 1890. Looking Back takes a trip up Hwy. 41 all the way to Denbigh, and it chronicles busi ness that have come and gone, and others that remain and/or have changed their fo cus.Some of the information in the book was gathered for the book, and much of it is tak en from the CDHS’ popular longer publica tion, The Oxen and the Axe, and from the archives in the museum. It is a conveniently packaged small book, easy to carry around when visiting the Hwy. 41 corridor and look ingForaround.every story about a business that remains in place, such as Bence Motors, which has grown and expanded since it was founded in 1946, but is still owned and oper ated by members of the Bence family, there are those like the Kaladar Hotel, which went through many owners before it was closed in 2006 and torn down in 2018 to make room for future highway improvements. Families that owned the hotel over the years include the Vilneffs, Murphys, Morris’, Browns, Trickey and Andersons. The book looks at major enterprises such as the Rathburn (later Sawyer-Stoll) Saw mill which was built in the 1940’s, and closed and moved to Tweed in 1967. While there are no more active mines in the corridor, there were a number in the ear ly 20th Century. One of them was the Bey Mine (later Ore Chimney Mine) , which was located between Northbrook and Harlowe on the Harlowe Road. Looking Back progresses north through Cloyne, passed the new school and the former school (now Hotel Bon Echo) and passed Skootamatta, Mazinaw, McChesney Ashby and Buckshot Lakes all the way to Denbigh.Itischock full of historical and more cur rent photos. Like the Pioneer Museum itself and all of the materials that the CDHS has published over the years, Looking Back is an engaging look at what life in the com munities along the corridor was like for busi ness owners along the corridor back in the day and where the communities are going today. ■ The History Of Highway 41 (Old Addington Road)

“Don’t Pee Under a Tree in Africa” is a sassy title for a fascinating and thought-provoking book by local artist and writer Diane Creber. When an African friend met in Canada invites Diane and her husband Tim to stay at his home in Nairobi, Kenya, within driv ing distance of some of Africa’s largest game preserves, they recognize it as the opportunity of a lifetime. All her life, Di ane had longed to visit Africa. As a child she avidly studied pictures in the National Geographic of giraffes, elephants and li ons, dreaming of someday seeing them “for real” in their natural habitat. For Diane and Tim, their trip proved to be all they had hoped for, and much more than they had expected. Friend Paul and his wife Esther live in a modern bungalow in Nairobi, one of Af rica’s most densely populated cities. It, like each of the neighbouring homes, is protected by a high wall and gate that can be opened only from within. And all these homes are part of a subdivision located within another outer wall, topped with broken glass and razor wire, with guards at the gate. After Esther and Diane be come better acquainted, Esther takes her through a small gap in the compound’s outer wall one day into another world, a world full of filth, stench and poverty, and introduces her to the timidly welcoming women who live there.

Paul and Ester drive their guests into national parks and game preserves, where they stay for days in posh beachfront or mountaintop safari lodges, watching the animals Diane had always dreamed of seeing. Because Paul is permitted to drive them through the parks, they can search and linger as they wish. Travelling in a private car also lends a realism far removed from the air-condi tioned comfort of a tour bus: fortunately Paul was a skillful driver. To Canadian eyes, the roads could be incredibly awful, varying from paved to non-existent except for a line on a map: the chaotic traffic was almost beyond imagination, the heat was oppressive, and sometimes they ran out of water before arriving at the next source of safe drinking water.

Diane is a keen observer and a careful researcher: her stories of their adventure are enriched with African history and de tails about the animals they see. She is also haunted long afterward by memories of the extreme poverty they witnessed. And the book’s title? Good practical ad vice: a poisonous snake, a hungry leopard or a knife-wielding thief could be lurking aboveComeyou!meet Diane and hear her read at her book launch in Bath at Books on Main (368 Main St) this coming Saturday, Aug 27,“Don’t2-4.

“You could feel the love all day at Cen tennial Park,” said Debbie Green, Bai ley Green’s grandmother, of this year’s event. It makes your heart feel so good, although it is very painful at the same time.”Trish Green, Bailey’s mother, is one of the main organisers of the event. She thanked everyone who attended, or vol unteered this year in a social media post on“ASunday.verysincere thank you to every single one of you that made yesterday possible. Final numbers will be in soon on amount raised that will go to our lo cal fire departments! Wish we had a way of weighing food donations but let's just say the back of Dodge Journey with the back seats down was filled twice and a large monetary amount raised for our lo cal food “Thankbank!!!youto everyone for being so incredibly generous. Our boys would have been so proud at what our com munity has done in their memory. Bless you all. Can't wait to see what next year brings.”Gilmour’s Meat, which provides food that is sold at the event at cost, was calculating the net proceeds early this week, and other numbers were also being put together to come up with the fundraised total.

One of the other major sponsors of the B&B Show and Shine is Kingston based Wrapture Wraps and Tint, which pro vides signage and more. The show featured vehicles from across Eastern Ontario and beyond, from as far away as London, as well as a contingent from Quebec. 33 trophies were presented by event organisers, including one to young Trak Green in the Subaru category. A formal donation will be made to the fire department in the early fall, and 650 pounds of food has already been deliv ered to the food banks.

The second annual B&B Show and Shine in memory of Bailey Green and Blake Young drew over 200 vehicles and hundreds more spectators to Centenntial Park in Harrowsmith on Saturday (August 27) raising money for the South and Cen tral Frontenac Fire departments and food and money for the South Frontenac and North Frontenac Food Banks. The two young Frontenac County men died after motorcycle crashes, Blake Young in the summer of 2019 and Bailey Green early in 2020. During the summer of 2020, the families, who were grieving as well as living through COVID social isolation, put on a small event in the late summer. That set the stage for their first Show and Shine in 2021. That event raised over $10,000 for the fire departments and also provided an opportunity to remember the two young men in a fitting way, providing family and friends an opportunity to celebrate their memory. It was quickly decided to run it again in 2022. The weather co-operated on Saturday, as it was sunny but a bit cooler than the last few Saturdays, and from early in the morning the park began filling up with enthusiastic vintage car lovers and com munity supporters.

The date for the 2023 B&B Show and Shine has already been set, August 26. Mark your calendars.
