work our volunteers do. “I’m very proud of them.” Addington Highlands Reeve Henry Hogg remembers the micropburst well.. “I live (literally) right across the street,” Hogg said. “I remember the devastation. Let's all acknowledge the hard work the volunteers have done and have a good day.” Before the proceedings got underway, Hogg recounted a bit of what that day in 2002 was like. “I was there that day,” he said. “We must have lost 40 trees, it was a mess. “I don’t know how it missed the little house right across the street. “It wasn’t just us that the microburst hit, though, I have a friend on (Lake) Kash(wakamak) who had five buildings. “There was a tree on each one of them.”

Belleville man drowns in Lake Mazinaw

0 years ago Frontenac County made a commitment of $540,000 over ten years towards the redevelopment project at Kingston General Hospital and the Ontario Cancer Centre. Since then, a lot has changed in the operation of hospitals in Kingston. Last week, Denise Cumming, Chief Executive Officer of the University Hospitals Foundation of Kingston, led a delegation to the monthly meeting of Frontenac County Council. The Foundation is the fundraising arm for the amalgamated Kingston hospitals. Cumming talked about all of the improvements that came from Phase 1 of the redevelopment campaign, and then moved on to talk about Phase 2, which is getting underway. This phase, which is a $65 million campaign for which $52.5 million has been raised to date, will bring new operating rooms, new labs and a new emergency department, neonatal birthing suites and a new neonatal intensive care unit to Kingston General Hospital. At Hotel Dieu, it will be used to update the operating suites, the consolidated cardiology and the ophthalmology departments. Also planned is a redesign of the endoscopy centre, the children's outpatient centre and the diagnostic imaging suite. The pharmacy is also slated to be relocated. At Providence Care, fund raised dollars will be used for a number of equipment upgrades. Cummings said “I am here to provide you with information about the success we have had in the past thanks to the support of municipalities such as Frontenac County, and to talk about our current and future projects.” But the pending request for a new commitment was on her mind as well, and that of members of council as well. Cumming pointed out that 539 staff members at the Kingston Hospitals live in Frontenac County, there

n June 24 at approximately 2pm officers from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Napanee detachment, OPP Marine Unit, with the assistance of local paramedics and fire departments, responded to a report of a missing male on Mazinaw Lake. Police investigation revealed that a 47 year old Belleville man took his family and friends tubing in a smaller aluminum boat. The man entered the water to assist the female tuber as she was experiencing some difficulty re-entering the boat while the spotter remained in the vessel. The small boat began to drift away from the two in the water. The male, who did not have his personal flotation device on appeared to be in distress, went below the water and did not resurface. The female tuber and the spotter in the drifting boat were assisted to shore with the assistance of paddleboarders and another boater. A search of the area was being conducted but was suspended due to weather conditions. The OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit were called to the scene to continue the search.

were almost 42,000 visits to Kingston hospitals in 2015, the most recent year for which such statistics are available, and that represents a 94.6% increase since 2006, the year when the last funding commitment from Frontenac County was made. “You are going to be looking for more money from us, I expect” said Warden Ron Vandewal Cumming said she would, but not until the fall. She said the request we will be for about $200,000 per year. The City of Kingston has made a commitment of $1.3 million per year to the foundation. Cumming said that the foundation is going to base its request to Frontenac County, which will be forthcoming in the early fall, on a formula that uses that $1.3 million commitment as a base. Since the ratio of visits to the hospitals from Frontenac County residents as compared to the amount of visits from residents of the City of Kingston is a ratio of about 1 to 6.5. The $200,000 requests therefore comes from dividing $1.3 million by about 6.5 Cumming then said, when interviewed after the meeting, that she is of course aware that $200,000 per year request is much higher than the $54,000 that has been paid by county residents through property taxes for the last ten years, but added “we asked for $220,000 the last time, and the county council of the day decided on $54,000. The amount they donate is going to be up to them, but we thought the comparison with what Kingston City Council has committed is something to go on.” Frontenac County will be entering into budget deliberations in October for the 2018 budget, at which time a request for funding support from the University Hospitals Foundation will certainly be on the table..

New park in Cloyne

by Craig Bakay hey went all-out in Cloyne Saturday to officially open Benny Lake Heritage Park, with several musical guests ranging from a First Nations drum group and the Pickled Chicken String Band, poetry readings and a host of politicians including Shabot Obaadjiwan Chief Doreen Davis, two MPs and two heads of council. On Aug. 2, 2002 a microburst tore through Cloyne, destroying a grove of 200-year-old white pines. The public space has been renewed as a joint project of the Township of North Frontenac, the Land O’Lakes Garden Club, Mazinaw-Lanark Forest Inc. and the Cloyne and District Historical Society. It now features a 5-foot-wide, 600-foot pathway constructed with stone dust with a gentle slope, follow ing integrated accessibility standards. They also planted a lot of new pines “If you come back in 150 years, it will be just as beautiful as it was several years ago,” said master of ceremonies J. J. (Red) Emond. “Today you’ll hear a lot of ‘I remember.’ “Let’s not forget the people that swung the axes, ate the food, the people that came before us.” Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid quickly picked up on the fact that this is Canada’s 150th birthday year. “We have the third oldest written constitution in the world,” he said. “After the U.S. and the Swiss. “And we were one of the first jurisdictions in the world to abolish slavery.” Cloyne is a rather unique hamlet in that it straddles two federal jurisdictions split right down the main road (Hwy 41). Cloyne’s other federal representative, HastingsLennox & Addington MP Mike Bossio said: “This is a valuable asset for Cloyne (and) it’s all about you.” Cloyne also straddles two townships — Addington Highlands and North Frontenac. Since the park is on the North Frontenac side, Mayor Ron Higgins got to cut the ribbon. “This (Benny Lake Heritage Park) shows the dedication, hard work and perseverance of our volunteers,” Higgins said. “Thank you to Scott, Mike and MPP Randy Hillier for providing financial assistance. “Before taking office, I didn’t realize the amount of

Parkinson Canada – combating isolation and fostering hope by Jeff Green at Evans lives in the village of Portland in North Leeds. She has Parkinson's disease and is an advocate for services and patient support groups in North Leeds and Lanark, and now Frontenac, Counties. She is one of the organisers of a SuperWalk fund raising event in Perth this coming September. A volunteer with Parkinson Canada, she is reaching out to residents of Frontenac County because she has learned since moving to Portland a number of years ago Parkinson sufferers in rural communities face the challenge of isolation as they struggle with the disease. “When I moved to Portland from Toronto I found there were main advantages to living in the country. Clean air, a better pace of life, and more, but access to services for Parkinson's is more difficult and rural isolation is a major issue,” she said when she visited the Frontenac News offices last month for an interview. To combat isolation and help provide the kind of information people living with Parkinson’s require in order to live a good life while coping with the disease, Pat got involved with the support group in Perth, which meets monthly. The support group enables people to talk about what they face each day with others who are facing similar issues, and are open to care partners, friends and family as well. Margaux Wolfe, who works for Parkinson Canada out of Ottawa, said “there are 22 support groups in Eastern Ontario, including one in Kingston. They are generally open to people living with Parkinson’s and care partners, friends and family. They are a safe place for people to gather information, share daily challenges. Groups also bring in guest speakers who come in to educate people living with Parkinson’s. “It is also about hope,” said Pat Evans. “Our people are determined to do better and to feel better, and to gain strength. The support group is really, really important for that.” Parkinson Canada describes Parkinson's Disease as a “chronic, degenerative brain disease, resulting from the loss of dopamine producing neurons. Dopamine controls a person’s motor functions (voluntary movements) such as walking, speech and handwriting. It also affects non-motor functions such as mood, attention and sleep. When the dopamine producing cells die, Parkinson symptoms appear.” Parkinson's affects about 100,000 Canadians, and about 7 million people worldwide from all ethnic backgrounds. Since the average age of onset is 60, the number of sufferers is set to rise in the coming years, particularly in Eastern Ontario where the population is older than the rest of the country. “The number of people who will be diagnosed with Parkinson’s in Canada will double over the next 20 years,” said Alan Muir, of the Ottawa office of Parkinson Canada. “There are four pillars to what we do at Parkinson Canada, we fund

research, provide support services, education, and assist with advocacy efforts.” The rate at which Parkinson’s progresses, as well as the symptoms people experience is unique to each individual, and individuals react in different ways to treatment as well. There are a broad range of symptoms including: tremors or shaking, slowness in movement, muscle stiffness, balance problems, drooling, soft speech, stooped posture, sleep disturbances, changes in cognition, depression, change in ability to taste and smell, and hallucinations. As part of the advocacy work that Parkinson Canada does, they have been advocating to the Local Health Integration Network for Southeast Ontario for more movement disorder specialists in local communities. There are a couple in Kingston, and efforts to bring one to Almonte and Carleton Place and through the Perth Hospital are ongoing. Pat Evans is also working with a committee to bring the first Super Walk fund raiser to Conlon Farms in Perth on Saturday, September 9 at 9:30am. Information about the walk is available at donate.parkinsons.ca/lanarknorhthleeds or parkinsonsuperwalk.ca A walk is also scheduled for Kingston on the same day at 11am at Lake Ontario Park. To register or donate to the Kingston walk go to donate.parkinsons.ca/kingston or parkinsonsuperwalk.ca. For information about the monthly support group in Perth contact Margaux Wolfe, Margaux.wolfe@parkinson.ca or call 1-800-565-3000 ext.3425 For information about the monthly support group in Kingston contact Diane Newman at diane.newman@parkinson.ca or 1-800-565-300 ext. 3315

Pat Evans, a crusador for the Parkinson community

South Frontenac Committee of the Whole Hartington Community Association asks Council for Assistance by Wilma Kenny n behalf of the Hartington Community Association (HCA), Michelle Foxton came before Council asking them to consider making a contribution to the costs incurred by Hartington residents in preparation for their recent participation in an OMB hearing. In August 2015, developer Terry Grant had proposed a 40-unit subdivision which would run from Boyce Road in Hartington south to Petworth Road. In the face of local opposition, he shrank his proposal to13 lots, all within the hamlet. When, after much deliberation and continued opposition by residents, South Frontenac Council had still not come to a decision on the zone change necessary for the reducedsize subdivision to proceed, developer Grant appealed to

the OMB in February 2016 on the grounds that the County had not given him a decision on his proposal within the allotted six months from the time of application. (For the subdivision to proceed, the Township had to approve a zoning change although the final subdivision approval is done by the County.) Shuffle forward to August 2016, when South Frontenac turned down the proposed zoning change, and the following

Strawberry Moon Festival moves to Frontenac Arena SINCE 1970

by Craig Bakay he theme for last week’s Strawberry Moon Festival, the 12th annual, was beavers, ‘amik’ in Algonquin and indeed it was a busy place. The official attendance tally was 193, the vast majority of whom were children, said organizer Marcie Asselstine. That represents a considerable increase over last year. And they saw it coming which initiated the move to the Frontenac Arena grounds from the St. James Major schoolgrounds in Sharbot Lake/. Asselstine said the festival is a “wrap up” for her program in which she visits area classrooms to teach students about Algonquin culture and traditions for Northern Frontenac Community Services. Since her schedule has increased, attendance at the festival was no surprise. “I started with two classrooms,” she said. “Now I visit nine.” The festival draws its name from the fact that June is “strawberry month,” Asselstine said. “I start planning in May, calling my traditional volunteers and putting everything together. “We chose amik (literally translated ‘builds with wood’) this year because the beaver represents wisdom and one of my classes built beaver lodges. It’s also the 150th anniversary of Canada and the beaver is Canada’s official animal.”

Continued from page 2 day County Council approved Grant’s application. By then, the Township had a report saying that in spite of their having spent over $100,000 on clean-up, there was still contaminated soil on the former gas station lot located across Road 38 from the subdivision area. The HCA, which had based their opposition to the development on the grounds that it was a potential threat to the quality and quantity of their well-water, asked for third-party status at the OMB hearing. This hearing took place over two weeks recently; a decision is not expected before fall. In preparation, the HCA had independent-

To that end, they set up six stations and the visitors travelled clockwise to each one. The first station featured headband making, complete with beaver tails. Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation and Chief Doreen Davis provided the materials (as well as other financial support). The second station was a traditional snack of corn bread and strawberries. Healthy Kids Community Challenge provided the strawberries. The third station was drumming, with Red Sun men’s drum and a gathering of local women’s hand drums. The fourth station featured local storyteller Danka Brewer telling how beaver got his distinctive teeth. She was assisted by a host of dragonflies, which she explained are the “keepers of children’s dreams.” The fifth station featured early literacy teacher Susan Ramsey telling how beaver got his flat tail in a teepee arranged by Shawn MacDonald of the Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. The sixth station featured lacrosse, a traditional First Nations game and Canada’s national summer sport. “A lot of us here are First Nations families,” Asselstine said. “One of my students said ‘I’m Algonquin and is it ever fun. “This is about making it OK to share our culture and bringing people together.” Asselstine had special praise for all of her ly hired peer reviewers to respond to the hydrogeological reports carried out on behalf of the Township and the County (which had already been peer reviewed on behalf of both municipal governments.). Foxton said that the total costs incurred by her group amounted to more than $70,000. Saying that the Township had gained valuable hydrogeological information about the area as a result of the reports obtained by the HCA, Foxton asked Council to consider covering the hydrogeologist’s last two invoices and one from expert witness Ruland, for a total of $28,792. Mayor Vandewal responded that the matter would be referred to the Development Services Committee for review and recommendation. Three Requests for Road Closures Applications to purchase unopened Township road allowances frequently come before Council. All three were forwarded to Council

for approval, although two were leading to water, and there is a general policy not to close off public access to water. One is a 40-metre long, 20-foot wide strip crossing a small island in Opinicon Lake, and marks the boundary between South Frontenac and Rideau Lakes. As Schjerning said, “Unless we decide to build a third crossing…” Because of its access to water, cost will be $9,857. An unopened extension of Larry York Road, terminating at a cliff on Cedar Lake near Battersea, generated some discussion, but ended in general agreement. Sutherland objected, on the grounds that if it became a lot addition, it would create a (very narrow) waterfront lot with development within the 30-meter setback. The third, a 15-foot wide strip of township property in Harrowsmith running parallel to

Church Street behind the former St Paul’s church and rectory, is a query, as the proposal is to use the land for a multi-unit residential property (two units in the former church, and one in the house.) It is hoped the bit of extra land would make a “well-engineered” septic system possible for the small parcel. There was overall agreement-in-principle, on the grounds that it could improve the property. Skateboarding on Township Property CAO Orr brought a report recommending against a by-law forbidding skateboarding on the Sydenham Township Hall property. Corporate Services had recommended the bylaw, for at times skateboarders have become a nuisance on the property, causing noise, risking injury, and possibly damaging cars in the parking lot.

There was a vast array of antiquities for all to observe but many wanted to look at the various photo albums. As you walked through the display you could hear many folks whispering about the pictures they had found of a relative or acquaintance. The Historical Society also had their newest book for sale which is a chronological listing of the many events which took place in Arden’s history. This book is well worth the $5.00 purchase. See Sarah if you are interested in buying one. • The congregation sat quietly as Alan Laverty recounted is recent trip to Haiti in support of Hope Grows.

Thank you Alan, for your informative talk and for making us aware of the plight of those in Haiti.

If you watch some of those 19th century dramas on PBS, you’ll see the use of bloodletting as a method of treatment of disease. This goes back to the Greek physician, Galen, and persisted well-into the 20th century. America’s first president, George Washington was bled for a throat infection. This process probably hastened his death in December 1799. Today, the main indication for bloodletting is for people who have hemochromatosis to reduce high levels of iron in the blood. Pap smears are used to detect cervical cancer in women. In India, the cost of this testing is out of reach of many. A simple test using vinegar has resulted in a 30% drop in cervical deaths in India using this method. It involves simply swabbing the cervix with vinegar which makes the cancer cells change colour for a short time. Just a little bit of training by a local health care person is needed. No lab is required. Have you heard of computer vision syndrome? It’s a collection of vision problems that can occur to people who spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen. Symptoms included dry eyes, eye strain, headaches, neck and back pain and blurred vision. This can be minimized by placing the screen 20-30 inches away from you and a little below your normal line of sight. Blink often and take a break from the screen every 15 or 20 minutes. Also have your eyes checked regularly. It’s important to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when you are playing or working in the sun. There are also clothes that have been developed to block the sun’s rays. The protection is rated by the UPF (ultraviolet protection factor). Clothes with a UPF of over 25 provide very good or excellent protection.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

June 29, 2017

Central Frontenac Council approves entering into site plan agreement with group planning gas bar on Hwy.7 by Craig Bakay n the recommendation of planners Megan Reuckwald and Joe Gallivan, Central Frontenac Council voted at its regular meeting Tuesday night in Sharbot Lake to enter into a site plan agreement with 2533652 Ontario Inc. to renovate the former Junction Restaurant and turn it into a gas bar (Ultramar). Gallivan said the former restaurant will require extensive work and there are several conditions to be met and a performance bond to be agreed upon but “we’ve been working with the owners for almost two years now and they’ve been very professional. “For example, they’re putting in one of the best septic systems you can have for commercial.” In her report, Reuckwald said that since the development is on Hwy 7 (beside the LCBO), the Ministry of Transportation has stated in June of this year that they are not

prepared to issue permits until all conditions are met for the detail design and a legal agreement is signed. She said a left turn lane is to be designed to the satisfaction of the ministry including a legal agreement between MTO and the proponent; and an environmental screening report, geotechnical report, design sections and other reports/documentation that is part of the the design for the highway road works to facilitate the development. Bordenood Cemetery Council agreed to assume care and control for the Bordenwood Cemetery for which an application has been made under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act to be declared abandoned. Clerk-Administrator Cathy MacMunn acknowledged that there will be some expenses accrue under the decision but added that “municipalities do not have a choice under the Act.”

When asked if there more cemeteries that might be abandoned in the future, MacMunn said “I can think of four or five but as churches close and the population ages, there isn’t anybody else to look after them.” “And somebody has to,” said Coun. Tom Dewey. RVCA and caterpillers When Rideau Valley Conservation Authority general manager Sommer CasgrainRobertson finished giving Council her report on the state of the conservation authority, Coun. Bill MacDonald wanted to know if they’d had many calls about tent caterpillers and their effect on the forest canopy. “We haven’t had too many inquires ourselves, some on our western borders,” she said. “I know the maple syrup producers are concerned. Vendors, food and otherwise After planner Joe Gallivan gave his report on the Saturday Open House on Food Ve-

hicles, Coun. Tom Dewey wanted to know if they would be including “venders hawking their wares” ie, non-food vendors in the proposed draft bylaw. “We were focused on food but we certainly can,” Gallivan said. Gallivan said it would likely be the end of the summer before a licencing bylaw and corresponding changes to the Zoning Bylaw will be presented to Council. “I think there will be great interest to see what the wording of those bylaws will be,” said Mayor Frances Smith. At their previous meeting council accepted a report from Chief Building Official Shawn Merriman regarding a temporary bylaw in order to license food vehicles before the permanent bylaw is in place. The expectation was that the temporary bylaw would be approved or at least voted on at this meeting, but that did not happen. No explanation was offered.

Chip Wagon debate diverts to talk of pressures in food industry A t a public open house to discuss a proposed bylaw to regulate mobile food businesses in Central Frontenac, many issues relating to the business climate for restaurants in the vicinity of Sharbot Lake were aired. Joe Gallivan, Manager of Planning for Frontenac County, came to the meeting looking for public input after he had looked at similar bylaws in other locations and tried to find “best options” for Central Frontenac. Last September, Councillor Cindy Kelsey expressed concern about an unlicensed chip truck that had opened up on Highway 7 near Road 509, and then Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven reported to Council that although mobile food businesses were defined in the township zoning bylaw, there were no regulations in the bylaw about whether they are permitted or not and under what circumstances. This put several existing businesses in the township in legal limbo, and in February Neven brought forward a draft bylaw, which was presented to Council but not acted upon. Since then a new Chief Building Official, Shawn Merriman, has taken over, and Joe Gallivan has been working on developing a bylaw. At the same time a business has come forward asking to

be able to set up at Hwy. 7 and 38. The Spud Box is planning to relocate from Hwy. 7 and Hwy. 41 at Kaladar. Two weeks ago, at Council’s request, CBO Merriman presented a temporary use bylaw which would enable the Spud Box to apply for a permit to open this summer while Joe Gallivan and the county planning department works on a permanent bylaw, which will not likely be in place until the fall. The meeting was set up to ask questions about the permanent bylaw, such as how to define mobile food businesses, which zones they should be restricted to, and whether there should be a separation distance between them and restaurants. But the pending opening of the Spud Box came up repeatedly in the questions that were asked by a crowd that was made up of most of the restaurant and other food vendors in the Sharbot Lake vicinity. CBO Shawn Merriman repeated a point that he had earlier in the month in front of Council. “I think that in a commercial zone, like we have on Highway 7, it is not up to the township to restrict the kinds of businesses that come forward. Let the market take care of that.” Frank White from the Sharbot Lake Country Inn said “this is something I completely understand and would definitely not contest or dispute if we were on the same playing field. However, allowing a business to set up that would be in direct competition with other year round venues with low, low overhead and at far reduced cost with a fraction of the of the licensing fee for operations i.e. $350 per year vs $9,000 plus in property taxes is not what I feel should be the long term direction of economic development, especially given that the

local populous would not be sufficient to support all of the business in the area.” The owner of the Spud Box, Jerry, piped in at that point. “We do have other expenses, including rent, but I know what you are saying because I owned restaurants in the past. The restaurant business is finished. I’m sorry but it’s true. We will pay a fair license fee. It does not have to be $350.” Jonathan Desroche, who owns Gray’s Grocery and Bake Shop, which is kitty corner to where the Spud Box would be located if approved, said “I don’t have any issues with him setting up. If he brings more business to the corner, that’s fine with me. But we need to face up to the reality that all of our businesses are hurting because tourism has died off completely in this area. If we don’t turn that around, none of us will be around. I’ve noticed a dramatic drop since I opened in 2010, tourism is off and our sales are off as well,” he said. As the meeting continued, other issues about the business

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Frontenac CFDC AGM by Jeff Green s befits a crowd of entrepreneurs, the breakfast Annual General Meeting for the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation started early last Thursday morning (June 15) with Marty G Sensations breakfast pies on the menu, starting at 7:30. By 8am the meeting was underway. One of the key note speakers, Ryan Reynolds of Capital Waterfowling, had to back out because he was pulled in another direction as his company continues its meteoric rise. Billy Day, whose high tech custom metal and 3d print shop on Sydenham Road came along in time to help Capital Waterfowling get underway, and now does work for a number of new

companies, was also scheduled to speak. He asked to go early so he could get back to his shop to fill an emergency order. He credits the CFDC with helping him get his start. “They got me the funding for my first machine, helped me get the ball rolling. I try to tell everyone to go and see them as long as they are working in Frontenac County. At that time the banks had no interest in supporting what I was doing, but the CFDC was interested in a big way,” he said, when interviewed a few days after the meeting. In terms of overall numbers, CFDC Board Chiar Jan Dines reported that the corporation loaned $1,776,925 to Frontenac businesses in

fiscal 2016/2017, an increase of 38.75% over the previous year. Combined with $1,257 million that the 21 businesses that received loans collectively invested from their own funds, it represents over $3 million in business spending in the county last year, impacting a total of 100 jobs. A further $454,454 was injected in the local economy through Eastern Ontario Development Program projects. Aside from loans and grants, business advice and counsellling are also a major focus for the corporation. Anyone starting, expanding, or shifting their business to fit the times is welcome to call 623-372-1414 (1-888372-9962) to find out what services they might be able to make use of.

Letter Kids These days ...

ow many times have you rolled your eyes whenever someone talks about teenagers. How many times have teens been the assumed culprit in some circumstance? My son is 21 now. That means many years of playgroups, play dates and birthday parties. Then he turned into a teenager and there were hordes of boys coming and going. I've seen or overheard more than I would ever want to know. A couple of weeks ago I was lament-

ing to a friend about all of the yard work that I needed to get done. Being disabled means I need help with that stuff now and then. Within a few days the youth group from St. Paul's in Sydenham appeared at my door and made short work of the job. They did it willingly and they did it well. Now, I am not basing my positive opinion on just a church group. I used to run Lunch4Teens, a weekly free lunch program, and saw anywhere from 80-100 high

school students every Tuesday and every single one of them lined up for lunch, ate, cleared their plates and put them in bins before they left. The quiet conversations, the smiles and the thank-yous are what gave me a respect and love for those 'kids these days'. You know, believe it or not, I think the world is as safe in their hands as it was in ours, maybe better. I'll bet if you start looking around, you will see exactly what I mean. Janet Knights

Chiop Trucks - Continued from page 6 community were raised. CBO Merriman and Mayor Frances Smith both referred to the pending approval for a new Ultramar gas station with a convenience store and restaurant component at the site immediately to the west of the LCBO store, on the site where The Junction and Bubba’a takeout were located. Joe Gallivan said he has been working for two years, from the planning end, with the owners of that proposed business, which is waiting for approval from the Ministry of Transportation before starting site development. Input on the technical issues around the new bylaw was gathered at the meeting. Most in attendance agreed that mobile food businesses should be restricted to commercial areas, but the issues around setbacks from restaurants are more complex and the response was mixed.

South Frontenac Council - continued from page 3 would require enforcement, which could lead to fines. He suggested this seemed unnecessary use of bylaw enforcement services. Although a Township skateboard park has been proposed, it was not one of the priorities of Council at budget time. The estimated cost of skateboard park was $5,000 for a design, and $100,000 for installation. Councillor Summerville favoured a by-law; “this is not a skateboard park, and (the boarders) are a danger to users of the property,” adding that he was, however, in favour of a skateboard park. “At least they’re out there exercising,” said Vandewal, who later said that one of the problems was choosing a location for a skateboard park: “In many ways, Harrowsmith Park’s an ideal place, but the high school’s in Sydenham.”

an application, go to: www. foodpolicykfla.ca The deadline to apply is Friday, July 7 at 8:00 pm. Those selected for the Council will be asked to commit to a two-year renewable term. The selection committee will review all the applications, and complete interviews in late July and early August 2017. Info – Dianne Dowling, 613-546-0869 dowling@ kos.net

Memories of a brush with royalty A s July 1, 2017 approaches, thoughts go back 50 years to the Centennial Canada Day celebrations. For Terry Crawford of Railton, another day, 5 days after Canada Day ‘67, comes to mind. On that day, July 5, 1967 Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip made a short stop in Kingston as part of their Centennial tour of the country. The tour began on June 29th, and featured the Queen presiding over Canada Day in Ottawa, travel via the Royal Brittania to Montreal where the royal couple toured Expo‘67 and decided to take a mono-rail tour of the site, causing no end of nervousness among Expo ‘67 officials and the royal security team. A lesser known add-on that trip was a quick visit to Kngston on July 5, the last day of the trip. The Kingston visit is only commemorated through a postal first day cover from that day in Kingston, and all other accounts cover only the visits to Ottawa and Montreal. But Terry Crawford remembers that stop in Kingston well. At the time he was

a member of the Scouts, and he was working hard for the highest designation in scouting, the status as a Queen Scout. “When it came to making a presentation to the Queen, who is the patron of scouting throughout the commonwealth, they wanted a girl scout, a brownie, a sea cadet and a boy scout to make a presentation to her. They did not want a Queen Scout to represent the boy scouts, but someone who was just below that level, and I fit the bill. I was asked if I would make the presentation,” Terry Crawford said, over the phone last week. The presentation took place on the waterfront, by Murney Tower, where a large crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. “The whole area between King Street and the lake was full of people. It was a massive crowd. We were told what to do, and it was all going to end with a picture with the Queen. I remember being a bit nervous. I remember shaking hands with Prince Philip and him saying something about ‘it’s a great

country.’ He’s right, it is a great country.” Terry remembers that day clearly, and he also has some mementos to remind him what the day was like. One of them is the photo that is reproduced with this article. “I also still have the cap I was wearing that day,” he said Terry lived in Harrowsmith until 1974 and has lived in the Sydenham area since then. He made his career in the utility industry.

Local connection to our flag by Marily Seitz n Saturday, June 24, as part of our Canada 150 celebrations, Ompah resident Cille Harris presented a video, “Let’s Celebrate Canada’s Flag”, produced by the Flag Wavers of Waterloo Region. The video is a history of Canada's maple leaf flag that ends with a tribute to Cille’s father, Bernard G. F. D’Eon, former resident of Perth, proud patriot and lover of Canada’s flag since its birth in 1965. Though not a wealthy man, “Bernie D’eon” purchased a colour advertisement in an Ottawa newspaper to celebrate both the 5th and 10th anniversaries of the adoption of the flag. The ad came to the attention of John Matheson, MP for Leeds and Perth resident, who was impressed with the passion of an ordinary Canadian citizen. In his book, “Canada's Flag”, 1986, John Matheson included the advertisement written by Mr. D'Eon, which reads: “On Feb. 15Th 1965 our maple leaf flag was born. This flag which graces the Canadian landscape waves proudly over a most beautiful and fabulous Country on which god has never ceased to smile! Canada, whose problems are so small and so few that her enemies within are compelled to manufacture some and magnify others, is truly “Land of the Free” and the envy of the whole world!” The flag wavers of Waterloo region saw

Bernard D’eon’s words in John Matheson’s book and were so moved by the sentiment that they decided to end their video with his beautiful message. The maple leaf has long been a symbol of the land beginning with the settlers. Over the years, there were several unsuccessful attempts to create a Canadian flag. As Canada approached its 100th anniversary, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, proposed a distinctive flag for Canada instead of the Red Ensign. Opposition Leader John Diefenbaker was adamantly opposed. Eventually Prime Minister Pearson appointed a committee to design a Canadian national flag that “could not be mistaken for the emblem of any other country and which would be a strong unifying force in our country”. It came down to three designs. The socalled Pearson pennant had three joined red maple leaves on a white background with blue bars on either side, representing 'sea to sea'. A second design was a single red maple leaf on a white background with red bars on either side, with the British and French flags on the two top corners. The third design was an early version of what we have today, a single red maple leaf with red borders. There were arguments for and against each design. One of the deciding factors was the flag wave test. When each design was flown, the triple maple leaves were un-

Visit Provincial Parks with Kingston Frontenac Public Library’s Park Passes

ne of the joys of summer is spending time in the great outdoors. Now, thanks to KFPL, it’s easier than ever for families to get outside, get active and enjoy nature at the same time. The library has partnered with the County of Frontenac, the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority and Ontario Parks, to create new visit kits that help any library cardholder to get access to the parks. "We've created visit kits that any cardholder can borrow, complete with a park pass and field guides, so that people can get the most out of visits to local provincial parks and conser conservation areas," says Deanna MacDonald, who pitched the program to KFPL and to local parks. "Since national park passes are free this year, we thought it would be great to let library members borrow free provincial park and conservation area passes as well.” There are customized backpacks for Bon Echo, Frontenac and Sharbot Lake provincial parks, as well as kits for Gould Lake and Little Cataraqui Creek conservation areas. "Like our museum passes, these backpacks can be reserved and picked up at whatever branch is most convenient,” MacDonald says. The Explore #In Frontenac backpack program was made possible through the combined support of the Friends of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library and the project partners. More information about the Go Explore#InFrontenac backpack program is available at the library website at www. kfpl.ca. orContact Deanna MacDonald, 613-549-8888, ext. 3522, dmacdonald@kfpl.ca.

On February 15, 1965 Canada’s new flag was raised on Parliament Hill. Over time, those opposed to the new flag came to appreciate and approve of the new flag. It has become a distinctive, easily recognizable symbol of our nation. The Red Ensign is still used on occasions to denote membership in the Commonwealth.

Throughout the presentation, Cille wore her father's red cap with maple leaf. Also on display was a red blanket with maple leaves. Both were proudly used by her father until his death on April 6, 2014, at Lanark Lodge in Perth. Sadly, he knew nothing of the book or video honouring him. Those in attendance left knowing more about and proud of the local connection to the Maple Leaf flag.

Public School. Head Custodian Harold Smith was honoured with the Custodial and Maintenance award and School Advisory Council Chair Nicki Gowdy was honoured with the Volunteer award. “I can’t ever remember this (two awards to the same school) this happening across the the system,” said Principal Peter Mouncey. “We are tiny and we’re quiet but we do some great things here,” said Gowdy. “And humble,” said Smith. “I got a lot more praise than I anticipated. Gowdy was one of the ones who nominated Smith. His citation, which has both Mouncey’s and Gowdy’s name at the bottom, reads: “Every day, Harold shows the kind of initiative that makes the school run smoothly at all levels. For Harold, his job is always about the people. Whether it is his daily tasks or small gestures of support, he takes care of our students and staff members in a personal way.” Smith came to Prince Charles eight years ago when the head custodian position came open “and has thought of Prince Charles as ‘his school’ ever since. Gowdy has been a parent volunteer at Prince Charles for 13 years. Her citation’s assertion that she is “seldom one to take ‘no’ for an answer” is something local journalists can attest to. “During her frequent visits to the school, she greets students by name and engages in personal conversations,” her citation said. “She has a disarming manner that brings a smile to everyone’s face and she is highly respected by the staff and parents. “They appreciated her honesty and straightforward approach and they often say that nobody works harder than Nicki Gowdy does.”

uly 8 is the third annual Sail Mazinaw. The objective of the event is to identify Mazinaw Lake as a remarkable sailing venue. On July 8, all cottagers, campers and transient sailors are invited to rig their boats and their boards and go for a sail. It is not a race nor a regatta. It's a fun flotilla and an occasion , or an excuse, to get boats on the water. It's a great opportunity to introduce a new generation to the sport. The day will begin with a crew breakfast at Mazinaw Lakeside Resort. The staff will open the doors at 8:00 to get an early start for the sailors and friends. Dock space at MLR is limited, so you are encouraged to arrive by car. After breakfast, you have all day to enjoy a sail. If you are near the lagoon in Bon Echo Provincial Park between noon and 2:00, pull your boat up on a beach and enjoy a hamburger or a hot dog prepared by Friends of Bon Echo. The proceeds go to fund the many programs that The Friends organize throughout the camping season. Your support will be appreciated. Details of a potluck supper will be communicated at the crew breakfast. Bring your boat, bring your board, crew with a friend, invite your neighbour, but get on the water for Sail Mazinaw, July 8.

Children’s Books for Canada’s 150th I

’d seen it before in the dentist’s office - a mural-sized scene, mounted and hung on the wall to amuse young patients awaiting their checkups. The cartoon picture has a “Where’s Waldo” quality about it with multitudinous sheep, bears and vehicles filling the canvas to all edges of the picture. I noticed the sheep first, then a dragon on the side of transport truck. I saw trucks, cars, bicycles, trains and traffic jams. Eventually I noticed that the central traffic jam had been caused by a family of ducks crossing an intersection. It was only much later that I noted the facial expressions of all those bears snarled in the traffic jam. They looked happy or surprised. Where were the feelings of impatience, frustration or anger? As I studied the picture I wondered what else might be part of this story that was simply left out. My early morning musing at the dentist’s triggered thinking about the image Canadians

hold in their minds and hearts about Canada. From coast to coast to coast we are celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary as a nation, yet our image of Canada is dependent on our experiences of life in Canada. Can any picture of Canada be complete? To commemorate Canada’s 150th, wellknown Canadian illustrators of children’s books were asked to express their feelings about Canada through art. Each illustrator interpreted one page of a new picture book called “I Am Canada: A Celebration” written by Heather Patterson. In addition to the fascinating images children see as they read the story, the illustrators’ written views of Canada are highlighted in the end pages. The illustrators’ unique perspectives about Canada shine through in the details of their art as well as in their words. Another new board book called “A Northern Alphabet” shows images of Canada through

This alphabet book shows the significance of place and of Inuit life and culture in the far north. “C is for Canada: Celebrating our Nation” by Mike Ulmer is also newly published. This beautifully illustrated book for preschool and primary school-aged children offers children an opportunity to think, talk about, and make connections between its pictures and

text with their knowledge and experiences as young Canadians from various regions in Canada. And yet, as I held these beautiful, celebratory books for children in my hands, I found myself wondering, what am I not seeing about Canada in these books?

THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF ADDINGTON HIGHLANDS

NOTICE OF PASSING OF ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT 0494/2017 TAKE NOTICE the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Addington Highlands passed By-law No. 0494/2017, on the 19th day of June, 2017, under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as Amended. AND TAKE NOTICE THAT: i. Only individuals, corporations, and public bodies may appeal a Zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A Notice of Appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a Notice of Appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or group on its behalf. ii. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. AN EXPLANATION of the purpose and effect of the By-law, and a KEY MAP describing the lands to which the By-law applies are attached. DATED at the Township of Addington Highlands this 23rd day of June, 2017 Christine Reed (Clerk)

NOTE: The last day for filing objection will be July 19, 2017. The objection must be received by this date in order to be valid. Any appeal submitted to the Township of Addington Highlands for referral to the Ontario Municipal Board must be filed with the Clerk and include: 1) The objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection. 2) The name and address of the appellant. 3) The fee payment required by the Ontario Municipal Board in the amount of $300.00 payable to the Minister of Finance, Province of Ontario.

PURPOSE OF THE BY-LAW: The Township wishes to consider changes to Section 4.7.1 Setbacks from Waterbodies of Zoning By-law 0212/2006. Section 4.7.1.ii. of the by-law requires that all buildings and structures be set back a minimum of 300 metres from the high water mark of the following highly sensitive lake trout lakes: Ashby, Ashden (Ashby White), Barnard, Buckshot, Crystal, Effingham, Fox, Grimsthorpe, Joeperry, Long Mallory, Rainy, Weslemkoon, and Simpson lakes. Unless an existing lot of record on any of the lakes noted above is undersized in lot area and/or lot frontage and therefore qualifies for the exemption outlined in Section 4.6 of the by-law, the 300 metres setback applies to all buildings and structures. This is inconsistent with the Official Plan policies that specify that for existing lots of record on highly sensitive lake trout lakes a minimum 30 metre setback should be applied. The by-law will amend the minimum required setback for all existing lots of record from 300 metres to 30 metres.

Community urged to use services for seniors by Catherine Reynolds avid Townsend is passionate about keeping seniors in their homes as long as possible. Sitting in a coffeeshop in Kingston a few hours before the first day of summer in 2017, the Executive Director of Southern Frontenac Community Services talks about helping seniors and low income families in South Frontenac Township. As he talks, it’s clear he’s happy with his progress. But there’s room for improvement. “I love my work. I’ve got all sorts of ideas. I’ve got a great team,” he said. According to Townsend, the agency serves an average 45 meals every Tuesday through its Meals-on-Wheels program. This means 45 people receive hot and ready meals at their doorsteps every week. “I don’t care where you live in South Frontenac, you’re going to get a meal delivered hot,” he said about the program that costs a mere $7 a meal. The agency also offers services such as foot care, an adult day program, food bank and transportation to appointments. The list of services is long and varied. From palliative support to caregiver relief, a resident can get help inside, and outside, their home. “Everything we do is geared towards helping seniors stay in their homes,” he said But there are challenges, particularly when it comes to Storrington District. “How do we increase our services, our profile to seniors in Storrington District,” he asks.. “This support for the seniors who live out that way is critical. Unfortunately, we’re not getting the engagement we would like.” Home of many businesses and homes, Storrington District is the largest tax base in South Frontenac Township. The agency would like to see more services accessed by residents in Inverary, Sunbury and Bat-

tersea. “It’s not hard to see who is struggling in that area,” says David kindly. “We need to find a way to help people in Storrington stay in Storrington. David pauses when asked about the agency’s success rate. He admits it’s hard to measure. “We lost one of our clients today,” says David in an attempt to answer the question. “He would have been in a long-term care home three years ago if he wasn’t in our adult day program. It’s one of our services that is good for the senior and good for the caregiver. You don’t even have to drop them off at the Grace Centre in Sydenham. We have volunteers who will pick them up.” A resident of Storrington his entire life, Ron Sleeth is a Storrington District Councillor with South Frontenac Township. “I believe we need a town hall type of meeting to make Storrington residents aware of these services,” says the politician from his dairy farm in Battersea. “The agency is too isolated in Sydenham. Most seniors out here don’t know many of these services exist.” To help address this issue, the agency is hiring summer ambassadors. “We are hiring two community ambassadors for a six-week term this summer,” said Townsend. “The objective is to raise awareness of Southern Frontenac Community Services and its programs and services, but more importantly - to link seniors to health support programs to keep them in their own homes longer and later in life.” Looking ahead, David says Southern Frontenac Community Services wants to centralize the area’s social services. “We want to become more of a community hub,” he say with enthusiasm. “We want to create a one-stop rural shopping experience.” Working to create a sensory garden and

accessible walking path at their headquarters in Sydenham, David says the agency is poised for growth. “There’s a lot of things on the go,” he says with his trademark smile. “Now we want to grow in Storrington District.” To learn more about the programs and services offered by Southern Frontenac Community Services, call 613-376-6477 or visit www.sfcsc.ca

Inverary lottery winners look forward to new earrings and shoes, and a truck.

“I

was routinely checking my tickets with the ticket checker,” shared Constance Hughson while her and Bob Alport were at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their over $110,000. “I came across one that caught my eye. I took it to the retailer to validate and told her I might faint if it’s how much I think it is,” she laughed. When Constance arrived home she told her partner of more than 20 years, Bob, she had a secret. “I told him he had to be extra nice to me or I wasn’t going to tell him.” “Winning the lottery was definitely a big surprise!” said Bob. The pair has a few plans for their windfall. “My first priority is to become debt free, then maybe some earrings and shoes,” shared Constance. “I love my truck, but a new one would be nice,” added Bob. “This money gives us the opportunity to dream. It offers freedom knowing that I have so many choices now,” concluded Constance. The winning ticket was purchased at Glenburnie Convenience on Perth Road in Glenburnie.

Children's books for Canada 150

Continued from page 15

that I could easily choose to see only what I looked for. And then my eyes fell upon a picture book for young children called “Shishi-etko” by Nicola I. Campbell. This exquisitely illustrated and gently told story is about a young child at the end of summer preparing to go to school for the first time. Shi-shietko, whose name means “she loves to play in the water”, doesn’t know what school will be like. What she knows is her life at home. She loves playing and exploring, listening to the stories and teachings of her parents and grandparents. The days before school shorten and Shi-shi-etko uses her fingers to count the number of sleeps left before she must leave all that is familiar. Shi-shi-etko is Indigenous and going to school for her means leaving her family and community for most of a year to attend a residential school. The story focuses on the strength and love of Shi-shi-etko’s family, and is told with sensitivity and authenticity. The story of Canada is complex and filled to each edge of the picture frame with truths that are hard to reconcile. Where should I focus my gaze on Canada Day in 2017? What part of the story will I choose to see? The depth and meaning of Canada’s story with Indigenous Peoples, I think, will never be static for me. As Indigenous stories of both past and present gain greater visibility, I feel the shame and sorrow of colonialism. But I also feel joy, privilege, and respect in knowing those whose ancestors were here long before my ancestors arrived on Turtle Island/North America. On Canada Day I will be celebrating friendship and hope for Canada’s future - a future that looks carefully at what has been missing in our collective story so that we can truly embrace justice, understanding and opportunity for all Peoples who call Canada home.

Another speaks well for the future. About four a sort of ‘floatilla’ in Christmas Bay.

In those days it cost $2,000 per child; more recently the cost has increased to $2,500. Each year since 2005 the Boatilla has grown both as a charitable and a community event. Thanks to Randy Ruttan and the campers, many of whom participate actively, that first frustrated ‘flotilla’ in Christmas Bay was replaced shortly thereafter by a community barbecue at the Hidden Valley campground.

Booklet tells the history of Kennebec in year-by-year format

These are just two of the many fascinating facts in a new booklet A Kennebec Timeline, compiled by Arden artisan Sarah Hale. Hale put together a Kennebec timeline for last year’s Heritage Festival and then got the idea of printing that up, complete with pictures/illustration. The 12-page booklet is something of a

fundraiser for the Kennebec and District Historical Society and was available for the first time last Saturday as the KDHS held its open house. “It’s history by the year, or as I like to call it ‘Kennebec history for the Twitter generation,” said Hale. “It’s $5 but that also gets you a membership and you get on my email list, so you can hear about meetings and get little text bits of history.” Where else could you find out that there was a “brief and ultimate disappointing

“Robert Borden was the Prime Minister at ‘gold rush’” in Kennebec in 1936 or that fire destroyed the Methodist Church in 1954 the time so they named the place after him and got the post office. (there’s a United Church there now). “It ran for 44 years and then it closed.” The Society even has some old newspaper clippings about the gold rush. The Society is “gradually developing a file of family histories,” Hale said. “We also have quite a few scrapbooks we’ve put together and an archive of phots and stories.” They’re also open to donations of just about any sort, like photos and uniforms of the old Arden Centennial Ball Club. “The people who bought Vera Steele’s house brought those in,” she said. “They were in a bag in the attic. “Amos Hughes was the coach.” And they have several other projects in the works like Malcolm Sampson’s book about the names on the Arden Cenotaph. And then there’s Reg Peterson, Arden’s own ‘tool man.’ “We’re always looking for donations, we don’t turn anything down,” Peterson said while proudly displaying the Certified Interior Decorator collection of old nails and a 1046 Lancaster Lane, Cloyne, ON corn planter. “If we can get Phone: (613) 336-2191 something with a story behind deborah .stanley15@gmail.com it, that’s what we’re really after.” And Peterson knows his stories too.

Central Frontenac annual seniors awards ceremony Mayor Smith presented Olden’s recipient, former Coun. John Purdon. “John retired to his wife Maxine’s family home in 2001 after a successful career in the civil service,” Smith said. “He’s chair of the United Church fundraising committee, president of the Mountain Grove 51+ Club and is still on the Library Board. “He plays euchre in Arden and is on the Arden Seniors Slow-pitch club where he has his own cheer.” She said that since Purdon left Council, she’s had to read the agendas more carefully because Purdon was the one who caught typos, spelling mistakes and errors in arithmetic. “Why I’m here today basically is because I volunteer,” Purdon said. “And why do I volunteer? “My late wife knew a lot of people here and I knew nobody. “She liked to volunteer and so I volunteered with her to get out and meet people.” Coun. Bill MacDonald presented Oso’s

joint honorees, Alvin and Diane Lake. “Al’s lived in Sharbot Lake all his life and Diane’s been here for 44 years,” MacDonald said. “They are both Sharbot Lake High School grads.” MacDonald said he remembers Alvin as a great coach of many teams as well as a driver for the Cancer Society and meals-onwheels. Diane was a Girl Guides leader and active in the United Church. “What I remember most is the Ice Storm,” he said. “I remember them feeding up to 200 people daily in the gym and making door-todoor checks. “If there’s such a thing as a fabric of a community, these folks would be a big part of this one.” “It’s all the community,” said Diane. Coun. Phillip Smith and Dep. Mayor Brent Cameron jointly presented Hinchinbrooke’s honoree, musician Gord Struthers. “Gord was born and raised in the Piccadilly area and is a

unique individual,” said Cameron. “He was one of the originals at the Piccadilly Jam and never turned down a request to play whatever the cause or occasion. “His gift is his music and he is putting together a historical and cultural record of songs on Facebook and YouTube.” Cameron explained that Struthers couldn’t be in attendance for the ceremony because of being diagnosed in April with ALS — Lou Gehrig’s Disease. His daughter Sherry was there to accept the award on behalf of her father. “Dad took a fall and it is heartbreaking for him to not be able to attend because he has such a gift for gab,” she said. “He spent countless hours picking, singing and yodelling and if people asked, he answered. “This really means more to him than I could ever convey.” t rn no Bu d, ey! oo n w mo

by Craig Bakay “June is Seniors Month and Volunteers Month,” Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith said at a special ceremony Tuesday afternoon at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. “We take this opportunity to appreciated them. “Most volunteers do it quietly, they’re not the kind to go out and hang signs.” And so they gathered, representatives from each of the districts nominated their choices and the certificates were printed. First to be so honoured was Kennebec’s Ronda Noble. Noble came to Arden to retire in 2010 after being an office manager for a prominent law firm in Toronto that included Toronto’s current mayor. “She’s very involved in the community, as secretary of the Legion, a member of the Heritage Festival committee, and the Friends of Arden steering committee,” said Coun. Tom Dewey. “She drives people to appointments in Perth, Napanee and Kingston. “And she hates to lose at euchre.”

in it. Its contribution to Easter Seals is relatively easily measured in terms of the money raised for Camp Merrywood. Its contribution to physically challenged children is partially counted by the number of kids sent to camp. Getting measures of what going to camp means to those children, their enjoyment, development, selfassurance, and the respite provided to their parents is significant but not easily measured. The first principle of the Boatilla has been that all donations matter and are welcome, small and large; it’s the spirit that counts. The second principle is that 100% of the donations go to Easter Seals and Camp Merriwood; the Boatilla incurs no administrative costs. The 2017 Boatilla will be the 13th annual. Cumulatively (including the anticipated donations this year) our community, through the Buck Lake Boatilla, will have raised over $200,000 over its 13 years, enough money to send to camp around 100 kids who would not otherwise have been able to have this great experience. That’s something of which to be really proud! (The Buck Lake Boatilla is set for Sunday, July 2 his year. See page 9 for details or go to easterseals.org/ buck-lake-boatilla)

Candidate for the Sharbot Obaadjiwan First nation negotiating Representative. I’m asking for your support for the next 3 years to represent you, the beneficiaries in this Land Claim. The next 3 years will be very important in these negotiations. I'd like to say a little about who I am and my experience. I've been a builder and developer for 40 years. I have negotiated agreements with municipal and county officials, and Provincial and Federal government. I am a councillor for the Town of Smiths Falls, and a director for organizations including, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, Smiths Falls Airport Commission, Severence Committee for the Town of Smiths Falls, and Director and Chair of the Finance Committee for the Leeds Lanark Grenville Health Unit. There is nothing in this agreement for voters. I will not support any agreement that does not have a clause as to how money will be distributed to the beneficiaries. I do not support the money going to the Chief and Council without being accountable for how it is to be spent. All Algonquins in our treaty area are voters and beneficiaries. Both "reserve Algonquins" and ”non reserve Algonquins”. The governments of Ontario and Canada need to recognize that all Algonquins have the same rights, benefits and tax exemptions regardless of where they live on or off reserve. This injustice needs to be rectified. If elected as your "ANR" I will fight for all Algonquins to have the same rights and priviledges. The constitution act of 1982 states as follows the "AOO" currently possess the right to harvest wildlife, fish and migratory birds and plants for domestic purposes 365 days per year and the exercise of these rights is subject only to measures that can be justified for conservation or public health or safety. Don't give up your Algonquin aboriginal rights to hunt and fish. I feel I am very capable of representing the Algonquin votes of Sharbot Lake and would be honoured to represent you as your ANR representative.

Vote For Joe Gallipeau To Fight For Your Algonquin Heritage Right. With Your Support We Can make A Difference.
