South Frontenac Council votes not to support solar project in Storrington in Eastern Ontario and this particular one fit the bill quite well as it would be located in an area of high solar radiance and proximity to existing transformers. “Canadian Solar is the third largest solar company in the world,” he said. “Much of that is due to projects in Ontario. “Most people are supportive of green energy but not beside them.” After Balding’s 10 minutes were up, Coun. Ron Sleeth, seemingly raising his hand to ask a question, stunned the crowd by moving immediate rejection of the solar proposal. “After your (Canadian Solar’s) acknowledgement that the public is not supportive of this project, I would like to serve notice of motion that we reject this proposal,” Sleeth said. The vote to reject was unanimous. However, Mayor Ron Vandewal did remind the public that just because Council had declined to support the project didn’t mean it still couldn’t go through. Council approval is just one aspect of the approval process, which is based on a series of points.
By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — In a nutshell, South Frontenac Council said no to a 13-megawatt solar project on Perth and Davidson Roads near Inverary. But that doesn’t mean the project ultimately won’t go through. In a special Council meeting last week in Sydenham, Council voted unanimously to not give its approval to the Collins Lake project of Canadian Solar and Suncor. Following a public meeting Aug. 19 in Sydenham, during which considerable opposition was evident, Canadian Solar brought its proposal to Council for a second attempt at getting Council’s blessings. On the Council meeting agenda, 17 delegates where scheduled to speak and a five-page petition against the proposal was to be introduced. Council gave the proponents the first opportunity to speak. Representing Canadian Solar, Tyler Balding said they acknowledged the public opposition and were prepared to increase the setback in reAs twilight fell on the Parham Fair last week, the midway began to heat up with The Octopus being a popular sponse. spot for the younger set.

County Official Plan sent back to MMAH, making some requested changes, rejecting others Reporter
News — After a rather long and somewhat arduous process, Frontenac County director of planning and economic development Joe Gallivan is optimistic the County’s longawaited Official Plan (OP) will be approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH). At a special meeting last week in Glenburnie, Gallivan told County Council “I think there are some issues of wording where I think they (MMAH) are off-base or unclear, but most of them are not important enough for our purposes to fight over” and that he recommended accepting most of the revisions requested by the Ministry in its draft response to the submitted OP. In all, MMAH requested more than 50 changes, many of which were proposed to bring the document in line with the Provincial Policy Statement. However, there were 18 specific changes he recommended the County not make. “We don’t want the playbook for
the Provincial Policy Statement,” Gallivan said. “We have our own vision and every point is consistent with the PPS.” For example, he said, the PPS directs growth to the settlement areas or hamlets, which, while it may look good on paper, isn’t necessarily the most realistic option. “There are a lot of settlement areas in Frontenac County that wanted to recognize their historical designation but are not the best areas for settlement,” he said. Gallivan noted that there are no municipal sewage treatment facilities anywhere in the County and only the hamlet of Sydenham has municipal water. He said the fact is that many of the settlement areas simply can’t handle additional septic systems and/or drains on existing well water. “Requiring development to be in the settlement areas can actually be a detriment to development,” he said. “Septic was almost a deal-breaker for the plaza in Harrowsmith. “We will be asking Council to look at other ways for water and septic to be accommodated.”
Essentially, the areas where Gallivan recommended the County hold firm were archaeology, housing, servicing, growth management, source protection and natural heritage. Gallivan said that in respect to these areas, existing township OPs already handle them much better than a County plan could. “Each township has completely different geography,” he said. Other areas where Gallivan suggested not accepting the Ministry’s
requests include things like inaccurate mapping. “For example, with species at risk, Johnston Point is not listed as a hot spot but the middle of Loughborough Lake is,” Gallivan said. “They’re only off by 300 metres.” One area where he did recommend going with the requested changes is new development along private roads. “This will allow us even more flexibility,” he said. “It’s a major step forward and the first time I’ve seen it in Ontario.”

New technology may significantly reduce phosphorus going into lakes from septic systems By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — While it may not be huge in terms of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and Official Plans, one aspect to come out of the process of creating the OP for Frontenac County may have a long-term impact for much of the County, a beneficial impact.
Given the number of lakes in Frontenac County, several which are at-capacity lake trout lakes, and the four watersheds governed by their respective conservation authorities, what goes into the water is of great concern. Much of that concern is related to wastewater treatment and in particular, how cumulative phosphorus input can contribute to periodic blue-

green algae blooms. However, in his presentation to Frontenac County Council last week on proposed amendments to the new Official Plan, director of planning and economic development Joe Gallivan was optimistic that many sections of lake protection might not be necessary in the future given the advancement of phosphorus removal technology. “The issue of R0013429867 phosphorus going into lakes is not going to be what it once was,” he said. Gallivan added that there will always be a desire to develop

lakefront properties from an economic standpoint. He said there will still be different issues on different lakes as to what levels of phosphorus they can handle, but achieving those levels may no longer be an issue. For example, he said, Ardoch Lake is “essentially a pond” when compared with something like Bob’s Lake. But the technology is advancing. “The Ministry of the Environment is telling us that septic technology is continuing to improve with respect to the removal of phosphorus,” he said. “They’re looking at tertiary systems, which continue to evolve.” Much of the new technology is coming out of Quebec. In the year 2000, Quebec created

new regulations specifically aimed at reducing blue-green algae blooms and the phosphorus input that causes many of them. In response, two new BNQcertified (Bureau de normalization du Quebec) systems have been introduced by Premier Tech Aqua. The newest system, according to the company’s website, doesn’t require ultra-violet lamps nor the periodic or total emptying of septic tanks. The DpEC Phosphorus Removal Unit uses the electro-coagulation principle to reduce the total phosphorus of effluent to less than 0.1mg/l when combined with an Ecoflo Biofilter and as low as 0.04 mg/l when integrated to a BNQ certified sand filter, the company website said.

Conservative incumbent Reid hopes to continue working for the community in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Scott Reid has been MP for the Lanark and Frontenac area for the past 15 years and although the riding has undergone many changes, Reid says his commitment to the community he serves has not. “My commitment has always been to the residents and I think my biggest accomplishment in the riding has been the installation of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) into public buildings,” said Reid. “My goal has been to raise awareness about heart health and aid in this area and I hope to continue that work.” The project started back in 2001 when Reid was faced with the dilemma of whether or not to take a pay increase. While MPs already earned a salary of approximately $100,000, a new bill wanted to increase that salary by $20,000. MPs were asked to vote for or against the raise and those who voted against were asked to opt out. “I went out and I asked my constituents to answer a questionnaire about whether I should opt-out, or whether I should opt-in and then take that extra money and put it towards a local charitable cause,” explained Reid. Reid received many responses and 80 per cent of those who responded asked Reid to take the money and use it in the community; Reid did just that and has spent it on community AEDs, CPR courses and general health causes ever since. “In rural areas it takes longer for ambulances to arrive and an AED can save lives,” he said. “I even took the cause further and brought a motion to parliament to put AEDs in every arena across the country. It passed and my next goal is to get them in every OPP and RCMP officer’s trunk.” Along with health concerns, Reid is also very concerned about the economy, taxation and the prospect of a global economic downturn. “The key issues are the same urban, rural and nationally and the economy is clearly

number one,” he said. “Taxation is a key issue and whether we are going to take on debt with the proposed new Ontario Pension Plan put forth by Premier Wynne or if we are going to stick with the Conservative choice of the tax-free savings accounts.” Reid also pointed out that while it is still unclear, the economy could be on the verge of a major downturn and he hopes that voters will put their trust in Prime Minister Harper to steer the country in the right direction. “People want someone who is capable of responding to the crisis and then rebuilding us out of crisis as Stephen Harper has done before. They don’t want a government whose response to that is simply spending more money.” Reid is looking forward to getting out on the campaign trail and reacquainting himself with the new and old areas of the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding. He knows that some are opposed to the addition of Kingston north of
the 401 to the riding, but he sees it as a welcome addition. “That area has a lot of linkages to South Frontenac and in many ways it is closer to the issues that face that area than those in the city of Kingston itself,” he said. Reid hopes that voters see his track record when they go to the polls and he also hopes that they take into account the many years of experience he brings to the riding and to Ottawa. “There is a lack of long-term expertise in our parliament and the average MP is not in for that long,” said Reid. “I have been around
for a long time by Canadian standards and that gives me a level of knowledge that many people don’t have.” Along with holding the position of MP, Reid has also been the chair of the International Human Rights Sub-committee through three parliaments and is currently the Deputy leader of the Government in the House of Commons. “I have a level of knowledge that I think is unrivalled,” he said. “I think all of this, along with the kind of community involvement I have and my focus on issues regarding rural health are very valuable to this riding and I hope people vote for me to continue my work.”

bought a PA, and this one day we were playing in the kitchen with Justin Riddell and Adam Lake when Adam said it would be nice if we had an open mike in Sharbot Lake “What better fundraiser for the rec committee?” The idea is that performers will sign up to play a couple of songs each. Given the popularity of open mike jams in our area, it’s likely this will draw a crowd. But unlike many open mikes where the audience pays a nominal $1 admission (mainly to pay for the rental of the hall), this one will be by donation only. “We’re not asking for anything but there will be a donation bucket at the back,” Merrigan said. Lake said that he, Kevin Merrigan, Riley Merrigan and Justin Riddell would serve as back-up band and probably kick off each jam with a couple of tunes. “We want to build a rink, we want to do a fundraiser and we want to have fun,” said Merrigan. Merrigan said that if the first one is successful, they’ll be shooting for a monthly repeat right into February. “We seem to be drawing more people to the area in the winter these days,” she said. She said they plan to “gauge” the crowd and future jams could be licensed but for this first one, there will be coffee, tea and snacks. The target date to begin construction on the rink, which will likely include basketball nets, is the fall of 2016.

“It doesn’t mean this is over,” Vandewal said. “We’ve done our part but it could still be awarded.” Vandewal also pointed out that by not approving the project, the Township has lost much of the control it could have exercised over the site as well as substantial financial considerations. After the vote, the Mayor asked those listed on the agenda if they still wanted to be heard. “Don’t feel compelled to speak,” Vandewal said. “You did hear the vote.” Still, several members of the pub-

In Our Opinion
Fingerstyle guitar legend’s No. 1 instrument Party leaders should pay attention to women’s issues suffers near-fatal blows on airline flight Column — A lot of you know the fingerstyle maestro, Don Ross, especially in this area because of the Canadian Guitar Festival. Ross has played at every one and was in on it from the getgo when Del Vezeau pitched the idea in his living room. So, did anybody else get a sinking feeling in the pit of their stomach when looking at the pictures of what happened to Ross’s guitar somewhere on an airline flight from Munich to Toronto? I just felt sick. And Don sure did too. “My brain kind of exploded,” he said last week on the way luthier Marc Beneteau’s home in St. Thomas. “It’s major surgery required, probably a new top, and there’s some damage on the sides but I’m hoping that’s just cosmetic. The guitar in question is one of a handful of similar models Beneteau
has made, but to Ross this one is, of course, unique. “A guitarist in New York State offered me the use of his when he heard,” Ross said. “It’s the same model, the same wood, same electronics but it wouldn’t be the same.” Ross does have a reliable backup so he won’t miss any gigs or anything, but this too won’t be the same. “This wasn’t just my No. 1 travelling guitar, this was my No. 1 guitar, overall, period!” he said. Every now and then, a guitarist comes across an axe that is his/her No. 1. Stevie Ray Vaughn even called his ‘No. 1.’ Willie Nelson has Trigger. B. B. King had Lucille. (Mine’s called ‘The Reverend’ after Rev. Gary Davis.) For his part, his favoured axe has no name. “I just never have named my guitars,” he said. Anyways, Ross was returning from a festival in Munich, Germany. He was flying United Airlines to Chicago, where he could pick up an Air Canada flight back home to Toronto. In Germany, he was told there was no room for his guitar in the overhead bins (the way he usually transports it on airlines) and so he reluctantly handed it over to

checked baggage. In Chicago, it would have been subject to a Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) inspection. When he arrived home and opened the case (specially designed to protect precious instruments), he found to his horror that there were numerous cracks on the top. “It had to have been taken out of the case for this to happen,” he said. He’s right. Today’s ‘airline’ cases are like black boxes, they’re designed to live through a crash with the instrument in tact. To their credit, Air Canada, United and the TSA have all offered to make good for repairs, but the point is, it should never have happened in the first place, Ross said. “In the future, I’ll have to be more forceful about bringing it on board with me,” he said. “I’m going to carry pictures of the damage and paragraphs from the latest legislation that says musicians are allowed to bring their instruments on board, “This is not just another piece of luggage, this is the tool I need to make my living.” Break a leg on the repairs buddy.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide West Carleton Review
Editorial - Last week, news broke that a scheduled ‘Women’s Issues’ debate would no longer be taking place after NDP leader Thomas Mulcair dropped out. Over 50,000 Canadians had signed a petition supporting an ‘Up for Debate’ proposal to hold a federal leaders’ debate focused on women’s issues and the debate included backing from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Native Women’s Association of Canada, and Oxfam Canada. Sadly, this debate will not happen. This news is shocking, especially when you consider the fact that women make up not only the majority of the population, but also the majority of voters. In 2011, half a million more women than men cast a ballot and yet issues that are specific to women cannot be discussed in an 11-week campaign? During the Maclean’s debate on Aug. 6, the only leaders’ debate so far, there was no discussion of women’s rights and gender equality issues. According to ‘Up for Debate’, the coalition of 175 groups pushing for a women’s debate, women continue to earn 20 per cent less than men for the same full-time work, are more likely to be poor, and do twice as much unpaid work at home. Tragically, they also continue to be victims of violence: since 1980, more than 1,000 Aboriginal women and girls have been murdered and each day more than 8,000 women and children seek protection from violence at a shelter. Women’s issues were last placed front and centre by federal party leaders Ed Broadbent of the NDP, Conservative Brian Mulroney, and Liberal John Turner in 1984 – more than 30 years ago. Since then not much has changed and sadly it won’t if our leaders are unwilling to engage in conversation or debate about issues that pertain to women. Mulcair has stated that he won’t take part in any debate that doesn’t include Stephen Harper and while that is somewhat understandable it is disappointing that our current Prime Minister was opposed to the debate from the beginning. All party leaders have now stated that they are willing to address women’s issues in one-on-one interviews organized by ‘Up for Debate’, but is that really solving the problem? Leaders were willing to have an open conversation about these issues 30 years ago so why won’t they now? This resolution is disappointing and as the campaign progresses voters are sure to remember.

similar. I’m going to be honest and admit that I don’t know much about this kind of thing, but in a nutshell the furnace is really amazing, heat won’t escape the house in the winter the way it does in an older home, etc. Therefore we stay warm and save money. Con: All the houses look similar. This may not be as true if you can afford to buy in a very high-end neighbourhood with custom homes, but us common folk typically have several models to choose from that don’t differ all that much from each other. I honestly thought this would bother me more than it does – the houses are all very pretty, which helps, plus you can personalize with things like colour and flowers - but it’s still falls into the ‘con’ category. In the end, I feel the pros more than outweigh the cons. The construction zone is only temporary, and it won’t be long before the streets are lined with trees and the sounds of children playing can be heard instead of the “beep, beep, beep” of backing up trucks.

Column - It’s been almost two months now since my family moved into our new house, and everything around us is very new. Not only is the house itself only a few months old, but the neighbourhood we now call home is still being developed. New houses keep popping up and a new family seems to move onto our street every week. Before a couple of years ago, I never imagined myself buying a brand new house in a brand new neighbourhood. I grew up in downtown Kingston and spent many years of my teens and 20s living in an older neighbourhood of Bayridge. Our initial plan was to buy downtown, but we quickly realized this was out of our price range. A new build was appealing for a number of reasons and most of the hopes I had for the house seem to be coming true so far. Here are some pros and cons of buying a brand new house, from an almost-two-month veteran. (That’s considered a long time in my neighbourhood, I promise.) Pro: Everything is to your taste.

The worst part isn’t the dirt, though. It’s the “beep, beep, beep” of construction vehicles backing up outside your bedroom window at 6:30 a.m. Why crews start this early in the morning is beyond me, but I try not to complain too much because I suppose this is what I signed up for. Pro: New neighbourhoods are great spots for young families – or at least ours is.

Group encourages voters to choose the ‘fair vote’ this October mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – In Canada, an election is determined by the first-past-thepost (FPTP) electoral system, but is this system really the most effective way of determining representation? This is the question being asked by Fair Vote Canada, a multi-partisan grass roots group that hopes to educate voters before they go to the polls this fall. “Our goal is to make voting reform a major ballot issue,” said Mark Figge, representative for the Kingston chapter of Fair Vote Canada. “We want to add an element of proportional representation to our voting system at the federal, provincial and even municipal levels and we want to see an end to the FPTP systems and their winner takes all approach.” In an FPTP voting system, a system used in Canada, the U.K. and the U.S., each riding has only one winner and the candidate with the most votes wins. “With just one winner in each riding, half of Canadian voters don’t actually elect anyone, and our Parliaments and legislatures don’t actually look anything like us,” explained Figge. With a Proportional Represen-
tation (PR) system, voters elect representatives in proportion to their votes. For example, with a Mixed-Member Proportional system, a form of PR, voters vote for their individual local representatives the way we do, but also cast a separate second vote to elect “topup” regional MPs. The top regional vote-getters from underrepresented parties fill top-up seats until those parties’ share of seats reflects their share of the popular vote. While all of this may seem a bit confusing, Figge points out that PR systems are currently being used effectively by over 80 countries around the world. “Countries that use the PR systems know that it is about fair representation for what the people want and every vote counts as much as possible,” he said. “Yes, FPTP is the simplest system, but the other systems are not that complicated. It may need to be explained a bit more, but it is not that hard to make a few more choices that could help your vote count more.” In the 2011 federal election, 39 per cent of the votes determined 54 per cent of the seats and 100 per cent of the political power in Canada or a ‘majority’. Since the Second World War, there have only been four true majority governments

Kingston teen earns spot on National Rifle Team mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Sports – Shooting rifles for sport may not seem like a typical teenage hobby, but for Kara Evans, 16, it’s a hobby that is allowing her to travel and compete around the world. Evans, a student at QECVI, has been a member of the Army Cadets in Kingston (2587) since she was nine years old. Originally, Evans joined Cadets because her sister was doing it, but she quickly learned to love it herself. “I saw that she was having a great time and the experiences she was having and I wanted to join too,” said Evans. “I tried a few different things and then I started shooting a couple summers ago and I quickly moved up through the courses. I really love it.” Evans now competes in shooting competitions and last month she competed in a Dominion of Canada Rifle Association (DCRA) Canadian Full-bore Rifle Championship held in Ottawa. The competition is the largest shooting festival in the nation, held annually since 1868, and attracts top marksman from across the globe. “I love meeting the really good shooters at these competitions. They are an inspiration to me and hearing their advice is incredible,” said Evans. “It is also great to meet people from other countries that have a common interest. We become a little community.” In the DCRA competition, Evans shot in a number of different relays and at distances ranging form 300 to 900 metres. “It is quite challenging, especially because we have no magnification scopes. We use smaller holes mounted on the rifle as sights and they help,” explained Evans. “The most challenging part is the wind. As you get farther back, the wind affects you more. Wind can make you lose points very easily and even losing one point can affect your score in the competition.” Despite the stress and challenges, Evans placed seventh at the DCRA competition, earning her a spot on the Royal Canadian Army Cadet National Rifle Team (RCAC NRT). The team will compete next summer in Bisley, England, something Evans is very much looking forward to.
Let’s connect on tWItteR!
“I am really looking forward to the competition and the experience. I love to travel and I wouldn’t be able to do it as much without Cadets,” she said. In the lead up to the competition, Evans will be working on her skills both on and off the shooting course. With Cadets, Evans also learns about leadership, confidence and teamwork, skills she sees as very valuable going forward. “There are so many opportunities being a cadet,” she said. “ I definitely think I am a more confident person than I was before Cadets and that’s a good thing. Eventually, Evans would like to compete in the Pan Am Games, but for now she is just focused on her training and being the best she can for her trip to England. “I really enjoy it and it is really rewarding, especially when opportunities like this come up,” she said. “I would definitely encourage others to pursue Cadets too.” For more information about the Army Cadets program visit www.cadets.gc.ca or https://www.facebook.com/CNACSTC.CNIECAC

Easy ways to go green at school The go-green movement may have humble beginnings, but now men and women across the globe make everyday decisions with the environment in mind. Private citizens and large companies now consider the environment before making decisions, as eco-friendly practices have extended into all aspects of life. As homeowners, renters and business owners are busy doing their parts to protect the planet, students and teachers can follow suit. School is a great place to instill a passion for protecting the environment, and students and teachers alike can employ the following strategies to further their schools’ on-campus efforts to protect the environment. • Begin with education. Schools can implement coursework that revolves around teaching students about current threats to the environment and what changes can have the biggest impact. Today’s students will one day become the men and women who run the country, and if they are on board
with environmental concerns, they may be more likely to push for greater change. • Recycle as much as possible. Many schools already have recycling bins in their classrooms and cafeterias. But other items, from batteries to books to pieces of wood from shop class, can be recycled, too. • Purchase green school supplies. Green school supplies include water-based paints and recycled notebooks. Manufacturers even make cornstarch pens. When shopping for school supplies, look for supplies made from recycled materials or items that are organic or all-natural. • Use green building materials. When the time comes to renovate or expand schools, educators and parents alike can express their support for environmentally friendly building materials, including reclaimed wood and bamboo flooring. Classrooms and other spaces can be equipped
with LED or CFL light bulbs to save energy. • Rely on digital technology. Many classrooms now employ smartboards and tablets in the classroom in lieu of paper books to help reduce waste and clutter. In addition, white boards have replaced chalkboards in many schools. Encourage students to hand assignments in electronically to cut down on paper waste. Schools also may have digital notebooks and websites that contain pertinent information, so the schools no longer send home paper notices. • Book environmental field trips. Class trips can revolve around environmental issues, including exploring habitats of endangered species or studying landscapes that may be shifting due to climate change. Environmental action is happening all across the globe. Students and educators can play important roles in these efforts by inspiring and implementing change. R0013438370

New choir at St. George’s Cathedral encourages teens to sing, socialize and have fun excited to get the position. “There was definitely a gap that needed to be filled here,” she said. “There has always been an adult choir and a children’s choir and now the teen choir will be in between the two and will help keep kids involved in music.” With so many other activities available to teens these days, Sargeant knows that choir may not seem like the most exciting option, but she hopes that teens can see the value it offers. “I would encourage teens to join because it is something very different,” she said. “It isn’t like a competitive sport that has a lot of stress associated with it. I know a lot of kids thrive off of competition, but it is nice to also have something that is just fun and non-competitive. It can just be a time where you can work on something as a group and work on your own skills too.” For Sargeant, choir also provided a release from the stress of academics; throughout university she participated in a variety of choirs and she found that even when she was really busy and stressed, choir helped the most.

News – Teens these days have a variety of choices when it comes to extracurricular activities, and this fall St. George’s Cathedral in Kingston is adding one more; in September, the church will add a teen choir to their Friday night activities and new director Alana Sargeant hopes that teens will give it a chance. “I know the church part can seem a bit boring, but I am really focusing on making this something that is fun and social,” explained Sargeant, a recent graduate from Queen’s with a focus on education and music. “I hope teens will take a chance and try something new. I’m sure many of them will be surprised if they do.” Sargeant has been involved in the choral community in Kingston for a number of years and works as the assistant for the children’s Cantabile choir in Kingston; last fall, she also began conducting their junior choir. When she saw the posting for a teen choir at St. George’s, she applied immediately and was

For her, the best part of teaching kids is seeing the progress they make throughout their choir experience. She loves seeing kids who don’t know a lot about music or harmonies progress and gain confidence. “It goes from being a challenging task to something that is really enjoyable for them and I love seeing that happen,” she said. Registration for the teen choir is free and there are no auditions to become a member. Students will even receive volunteer hours for the time they spend in the choir. Registration has been a bit slow throughout the summer, but Sargeant is Alana Sargeant is the director of the new youth choir at St. George’s confident it will pick up. “These things always tend to Cathedral.

and received his support for changes, and his subsequent agreement on the words now in OP clause 4.1.1.6., worked out in conjunction with his staff and county staff, avoiding a possible appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. “Private Roads” The County is undertaking a private road study in 2015. The results will assist the County and its lower tiers in developing a measur-
able and enforceable mechanism aimed at creating reasonable and safe development of private roads.” “This was the first time in my now 9 year’s in municipal government that I have seen a resolution so quickly,” Doyle said. “This was the one issue so important to the future of all Townships across Frontenac County that had to be
resolved.” He noted that other changes are more to ensure there is a workable Official Plan that places prime planning at the Township level while the County will assume the day to day planning responsibility when it comes to overseeing land use across the County. Continued on page 22
R0013410484_0903
News- Some four years ago work on creating a “Made for Frontenac County Official Plan” was undertaken by the County’s Manager of Planning Services Joe Gallivan. Gallivan hoped to create a short document that would comply with Provincial policy and also recognize the unique aspects for development that arise in Frontenac County and each of its four townships. (North, South, Central and Frontenac Islands). Last week provided the opportunity for Frontenac County Council’s first look at what changes the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) was asking for in the county’s plan. “The Plan was submitted last October,” Warden Denis Doyle Mayor of Frontenac Islands said citing the many meetings, discussions and e-mails of the past 10 months between MMHA and the County Planner. .” “Both Joe and MMAH are to be commended for their excellent work and cooperation. In fact they have jointly suggested changes that will make the document much clearer and avoid future disputes over wording, leaving us much further ahead in
the process with a regional document that will help our townships deal with common issues.” (Much involved in the OP planning is Planner Peter Young and FYI - Frontenac County CAO Kelly Pender who in earlier years was a Planner.) In their draft response to the Official Plan, county council accepted most of MMHA’s suggested revisions (50+). The most contentious issue being that the Ministry did not want any further building on private roads, which Mayor Doyle said would seriously reduce potential growth in the Frontenac’s and other Ontario townships with a lot of waterfront. “Cottage life is attractive to many city dwellers on their time off,” he said . “Many end up retiring to their cottages, becoming full time residents of the community that they built in, on a lake somewhere in rural Ontario.” For the past six months, the county has worked with other municipalities outside the county, and lobbied local MPPs on both sides of the house about the implications of that decision and called for changes to the OP legislation. Renfrew Highlands Mayor Brian Stewart and Mayor Doyle also spoke with the Minister Ted McMeekin at the AMO conference R0013440363_0903

“When we started this OP project at the county, “Doyle said, “ our objective was to have a high level plan that supported planning in our four municipalities, and not to duplicate efforts at the lower level, and we have accomplished that. With only a dozen clauses left to resolve we are confident that we will reach agreement quickly, finalizing the document, within the next two or three months,” he concluded. 2. Ferry Up Date. Well Folks , I was not going to do this But…. You will have read, heard or viewed MTO’s most recent announcement that the Wolfe Islander III will not be retuning the week after Labour Day as previously announced (but most of us knew that !) MTO is apologetic about this 3rd delay, delays being difficult for resi-

dents. No specific date set for its return this time. We were reminded that drydocking is a federal requirement and Heddle Marine is alone in Ontario as being able to handle the Wolfe Islander.” The wheelhouse on the ferry has not been replaced or significantly rehabilitated since built in 1975. So…. everything remains as is except that we will be missing the students leaving for school, who have put in hours of overtime and walked many extra miles on our behalf, . AND-- there is NO back-up ferry. Our Mayor Denis Doyle decided to check out two ferries he thought might be for sale and appropriate for our use. According to MTO they are not available. However MTO does keep its eye out for used craft, but their priority at this time is the EA. Since ours is a regional crisis involving not only Wolfe Island, but Amherst Island and yes, even Glenora. ( islanders, can you ever remember a time when there was no back up ferry?) Is it time to be calling upon the Minister of Transportation or the Premier of the Province of Ontario to respond to this critical situation ? It is obvious if anything should go wrong we would have a crisis on our hands…. and no apparent way to solve it!

Province announces $28,500 in new funding for Kingston’s Sexual Assault and Family Violence Program By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – It is estimated that one in three Canadian women will experience one form or sexual assault in her lifetime. Unfortunately these statistics continue to rise each year, and so does the need for services to help victims of these crimes. With an increase in need for services comes an increased need for funding and on Aug. 25 the province of Ontario announced a commitment of $28,500 in new funding for the Sexual Assault and Family Violence Program (SAFVP) at Kingston General Hospital. “We wish the funding was not necessary,” said MPP for Kingston and the Islands Sophie Kiwala at the announcement. “But it gives me pleasure to acknowledge that we will be receiving this funding and helping this valuable program.” Kiwala also announced that Ontario will be investing $1.1 million each year for the next three years to enhance specialized counselling services and community outreach support for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. “Sexual violence is still so common in this region and in this country and it pains me enormously,” said Kiwala. “We live in a so-called civilized society and we need to work harder to address this issue. The situation is upsetting, disappointing and completely unacceptable.” The SAFVP is one of 35 centres across the province that are part of the Ontario Network of Sexual Assault and Domestic
Violence Treatment Centres. Established in 1993, these centres operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year and rely on on-call staff to meet the needs of patients arriving at any time. “This funding enhances what we already deliver and gives us more resources to provide to our patients,” explained Silvie Crawford, executive VP and chief nursing executive at KGH. “These patients need ongoing counselling and care and that is what we do when they come to our centre. We provide ongoing care beyond just that initial time that we see them.” Due to the complexity of many cases, the centres refer to community agencies to provide a continuum of care to survivors. In addition to addressing victims’ medical needs, nurses and physicians are educated in dealing with concerns about pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and crisis intervention and are skilled in the forensic aspects of care. The center can also make immediate referrals to shelters if they feel the victims are at risk. “The centres are open to women, children and men and that is really important to remember,” said Kiwala. “Men are included along with those who have been sexually assaulted and are victims or survivors of intimate partner abuse.” This funding announcement comes on the heels of the launch of ‘It’s Never Okay’, an action plan to stop sexual violence and harassment that was launched by the Ontario government March 6. That plan is backed by a $41 million commitment over three years and it outlines the steps to change
attitudes, improve supports for survivors and make workplaces and campuses safer and more responsive to sexual violence and harassment. Kiwala explained that for her own part she launched a social media campaign to support ‘It’s Never Okay’ and for the past few months she has encouraged community members to support the campaign by posting photos to social media along with
the hashtag #EndSexualViolenceYGK. “I want to raise awareness for this issue and strengthen the province-wide initiative to eliminate sexual violence and harassment,” she said. “Today’s announcement for new funding is another step towards achieving our commitment to stop sexual violence and harassment and build a safer, more inclusive and more equitable province.”

Thank you for your considerationâ&#x20AC;? Lorne Subaru was one of the first carmakers to include a hill-holder system for their vehicles on a wide scale but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invent it. It was first used as an option on the 1936 Studebaker President model and was widely available as an add-on accessory for autos throughout the 30s, 40s, and 50s (provided the car had hydraulic brakes). Three Subaru models still have it as do a few dozen other makes around the globe. It has gone through an evolutionary process from being a strictly mechanical system to now involving electronics and sensors. In all of its stages it pretty much worked the same way; when the vehicle was stopped on an uphill grade
and the brake and clutch pedal were depressed, the driver could remove his/ her foot from the pedal and the brakes would stay applied. Then when the driver â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello Brian, moved forward by letting out the clutch A friend of mine has a manual transand depressing the gas pedal, the brakes mission equipped Subaru Impreza.  Rewould release without the car slipping cently she mentioned that she parked in backwards. a situation that made her back up a fairly If our friend was backing up an incline, steep incline to get out of the parking this system would not be in effect and the space.  This was accompanied by quite burning odour that was noticed was most a burning smell.  She has always used a likely coming from the clutch friction manual and the clutch doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be plate. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not aware of any way of disslipping in high gear on the highway so arming the system. maybe no real damage was done? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian, I know that many/most?

so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not familiar with various shops and their expertise. But I can warn you that this type of repair skill is not as common as it once was. Few private or independent shops can handle it unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of their specialties. The biggest problem is that, depending on what has gone wrong inside the differential (rear axle), the crown and pinion gears and the side gears may need to be re-centered by the use of shims. Knowing how to measure these very small distances and how to choose which shims to use is a real art. You need to ask some pretty pointed questions to any service garage you are considering to ensure they have the skills and tools to do it right. Most OEM dealers can handle this. If only the side or pinion bearings need replacing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty straight forward job and likely to average between $600 and $900. If the crown gear is damaged you may be looking at twice that price or more. There are companies now in the US that rebuild differentials and sell them as complete axle assemblies. With this option, your costs are fixed up front and the likelihood of having a noise after the repair is done is minimized. However Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not aware of any Canadian firms doing the same, so the dollar exchange and shipping costs might not make this feasible. There is always the option of sourcing a used component from a salvage yard. On Sept. 1 some new driving legislation went into effect in Ontario that we all should be aware of. Distracted driv-

Enchanté Passion for life inspires artist’s sculptures By Mark Bergin
Art has shaped John Boxtel’s life just as he has shaped a life for and from his sculptures. Creation is his destiny. The 85-year-old sculptor lives in a secluded home he built near the river outside of Napanee. His sculptures rest in the forest, on his lawn, by the water and in his home. Everywhere I look, I see movement where none exists. A fairy flutters outside the back door. There’s a passion to his work that matches the excitement an observer can see in Boxtel’s eyes as he walks around his property. Away from the outside world, it’s easy to believe that you’ve entered an enchanted land when visiting Boxtel’s home base. During his career, in addition to woodworking and sculpting, he’s been a teacher, he’s built and repaired boats, and he’s designed a hotel. He’s just returned from Lunenberg. He wanted to see where the Bluenose was built. Boxtel is a free spirit who meanders where the wind takes him. His connection to his art is a constant. There’s a stability within him. A pair of wooden shoes sit on a step at
the entrance to Boxtel’s home, a reminder of his Dutch roots. Inside the front door hangs a pair of Dutch vintage skates— Boxtel’s own—hand-forged blades (theyr’e still sharp) under a wooden footplate, with tie-on straps. Boxtel grew up in Holland and came to Canada in 1954. “I was 24 going on 14,” he says. “I think I came because I wanted freedom. I said it was to get away from my mother. I needed space.” Yet, when he approaches a sculpture of his mother in his yard, he rests a hand fondly on the shoulder of the life-size work of art. “That’s me with my mother,” says Boxtel, as he looks at the sculpture of a pregnant woman holding a young girl on her lap. He points to the girl. “That’s my sister. She died as a young child. I am still inside my mother there. My mother wanted to replace my sister with me when I was born, and that just doesn’t work. It was difficult.” He admits that there were other reasons for leaving his native Holland. “The caste system was still very strong in Holland,” he says. “There was no way to move or grow, even laterally.”
Boxtel studied building technology in Holland but wasn’t happy. “I never had a sense of direction,” he says. “I left on impulse and followed a path all over the globe. I found a new freedom in Canada.” After arriving in Ontario more than 60 years ago, Boxtel met woodcarver Claude Taft, connected with the Kleinburg Gallery. Boxtel eventually landed at the Ontario College of Art where he completed his degree over six years. Along the way he got married and had three children. “I was so lucky,” he says. “At that time, all the great artists were still teaching at the college. Thomas Bowie taught me sculpture, Gould taught painting, [Richard] Nevitt taught life drawing. I got well educated from the ground up, then went on my own and did my thing. But I never really believed I was an artist. Only in the last five years have I accepted that I’m an artist. All of a sudden, it explains all these things, my restlessness.” Divorced in 1967, Boxtel lived in Fenlon Falls, where he started an industrial program in the local high school. He

taught architecture, drafting and design. In an odd twist, he also taught ballroom dancing. “They were putting on a play, Annie Get Your Gun. I was friends with one of the English teachers, so they got me to create the set. It turned out no one knew how to dance for the show, so I also became the ballroom dance teacher.” Teachers from Burlington visited Fenlon Falls and convinced Boxtel to move and teach at their larger school. But by 1975, he was restless again. “I took a year and bummed around Europe on a bicycle.” Back in Canada, he continued his career in sculpting, woodworking and design. He even designed a hotel in Mexico and built all the furniture. “My girlfriend at the time was a real estate agent,” he says. “She wanted to manage the hotel. I was supposed to be part and parcel under her management.” He stops and smiles at me. “I’m not very manageable, so I left.” After retiring from his teaching du-
ties, Boxtel left his home in Stoney Creek and bought a house on Wallace Island in the St. Lawrence River and lived there for about five years. “For my dock light, I built a sculpture of Diogenes.” Somehow that seems fitting, but the Goddess Libertas would have been equally apt. From there, Boxtel moved to Portsmouth Village before finally settling at his current location outside Napanee. The original model of one of his prized sculptures is in a field on the way to his home. “It’s ten kids flying kites,” he says. “I didn’t sell it. After it was cast in brass, I donated it to my home town in Holland. I am celebrated, and I am absolutely happy. It made my life come full circle.” He takes me to a room in his home where there is a giant wood carving on the wall. He touches and runs his hand across it. Continued on page 30

Enchanté Passion for life inspires artist’s sculptures Continued from page 29
“This was the first piece I ever carved,” he says. “I was in Holland recently and discovered it.” He bought back the carving, created when he was 23, and brought it home to Canada. Although Boxtel started carving when he was a kid, he didn’t seriously get into sculpting until 1960. He’s been sculpting since. You can see his beautiful bust of Molly Brant in a courtyard behind Rideaucrest Home in Kingston, facing the river, just as Molly Brant’s home would have in the 18th century. “I spent a lot of time in Deseronto and heard quite a bit about Molly Brant,” he says. “Molly Brant became my hero. I decided to do a sculpture of her head and donate it to the Native community for Kingston. But this guy from the ‘Hysterical Society’ wanted to put it on a cairn. I didn’t allow it. I designed a column and said I was donating the head but it had to be on the column.” Boxtel says the organizers insisted on a cairn and he finally relented. He shakes his head and waves his arms as he explains this. In other words, this time it wasn’t worth his effort to fight the bureaucracy. Now that Kingston’s newest school will be named in Molly Brant’s honor, Boxtel is proposing to create a full-sized sculpture of the First Nations woman. But after the trouble he had last time, this one won’t be a donation. In Kingston, Boxtel became friends with Flora MacDonald. She sat for him as he created a sculpture of her. He hopes this sculpture finds a home in
Kingston. He takes me into his workshop and shows me large barrels full of clay. “I’ve kept that clay damp for more than 50 years,” he says. He dips his hand into the clay and looks at it. He holds it for a moment, then puts it back and gently covers it with a wet cloth. He closes the lid and rests his hand on top for an extra moment. “Every piece I’ve ever created is in there. That’s the clay that’s formed everything I’ve done.” At 85, John Boxtel continues to find new things to do. “If there’s no hope, there no life anymore. I always assume there is a future. Life goes on. You live until you die. You can’t stop living or you die. A lot of people retire and then die.” He still sculpts, but admits he pulled away from the scene for several years. “I got sick of the politics,” he says. He builds tree houses and does a lot of woodwork in his studio. He teaches drawing at the local outreach centre. He’s also completed a book—Studio—about his work. He’s looking forward to the book’s release next month. This wonderful artist, who lives in his own idyllic setting, says life is not about the material. “I don’t give a shit about money,” he says. “I always tell people I’m independently poor.” Perhaps, but there’s a richness to his spirit and art Dutch-born Canadian sculptor John Boxtel outside his home near Napanee with a fairy that is priceless. he created.

Ema LEE Fashions TwELTh annivErsary: iT DoZEn’T TakE Long For TwELvE yEars To FLy by!
Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical ladies clothing store. The store is located seven kilometers north of Perth Ontario on Hwy. 511 in the quaint hamlet of Downtown Balderson. Upon entering Ema Lee Fashions, the staff greets you and offers their friendly help. Then you stand in awe as you realize the size of the store which is filled upstairs and down with ladies apparel. But it’s not like your usual Big Box clothing store, with row upon row of the same clothing showing up in every store! This store now carries a total of 35 different lines from sizes 6 to 3X. Besides ladies clothing they have the largest collection of bathing suits in the Ottawa Valley year round, consisting of four name brand lines sizes 6 to 34. They also carry five brands of men’s shirts: Berkham, Black Ice, Platinum, Sergio Loui and Scala Milano. Regular sizes small to 2XL. For the big and tall, sizes L to 7XL and also a good selection of men’s polos “with pockets”!
Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney are the owners of the store. They both have a sincere commitment to the business and their customers. It’s hard work, but they both enjoy supplying their customers with different, unique, quality clothing at reasonable prices. In order to accomplish this goal, they travel twice a year to Las Vegas and Los Angeles and choose what U.S. lines and styles they think their customers would enjoy. They also travel to Canadian Manufacturers and now carry five main Canadian Lines. The hard work has paid off because the results have been outstanding. Customers have
literally come to shop from every corner of the world— quite an accomplishment in twelve years! Both Emily and Gerry agree that it is most rewarding to see people feel good about themselves in what they have chosen to wear from their store. This Labour Day weekend from Thursday to Monday, they are having their twelfth anniversary celebration which will include many “in house” specials. Ema Lee Fashions is open 7 days a week, Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. till 4:00 p.m.
