Dinosaur hoax

An April Fool’s article in the News (Dinosaur bones discovered near Fernleigh vol. 6 no.14 March 30) has led to a steady stream of traffic to the home of Bernie Duhamel in Fernleigh.

The article claimed, falsely, that Bernie’s carving was a real dinosaur that had been discovered on his property.

“Most of the people have come from the local area, but others have come from further away, from as far away as Belleville , and they don’t always believe it when we tell them the article in the paper was a hoax, and the dinosaur is actually a carving.”

It all started when Bernie Duhamel decided to do a bit of a project for his grandson, who is a dinosaur fan.

So, Bernie began working out how to carve a dinosaur head out of wood, using tools in his shop and spruce and some hardwood that was at hand. Once he had carved the head Bernie moved on to the body. The final design of the dinosaur carving wasn’t exactly based on archaeological drawings but Bernie didn’t completely make it up.

“My grandson’s got some dinosaur books that we keep here for when he visits,” Bernie recalls, “so I had a look at them and adjusted for what would be easier to build.”

Bernie is probably going to leave the dinosaur carving on his front lawn for the summer, because it is so popular with kids. But he wants people to know that it is a carving and there is no dinosaur genus by the name of Stegafernicus.

Helping to rebuildNewOrleans

byJuleKochBrison

Ever since Ileene Mouck of Sharbot Lake first saw the dramatic images of people stranded on roofs and trapped in the sweltering heat of the New Orleans Skydome, she has wanted to go there to help out. Two weeks ago she finally was able to go to the devastated city with a work team of 12 other people from all over Canada .

The group stayed for one week and worked on two houses, repairing the roofs and drywall, and cleaning up debris. “It’s been seven months and the devastation is still unimaginable,” said Ileene, “but people’s spirits are good and they are so grateful for the help.” Between 50 and 100 volunteer groups from all over the US and Canada have been continually helping in the rebuilding since the disaster.

Ileene’s group was sponsored by Crossroads Ministries, and used building materials donated by 100 Huntley Street in all of the work they did. They stayed in Algiers , a suburb of the city that did not suffer the worst of the disaster; yet it is still common to see smashed vehicles and buildings. Some parts of Algiers are still without electricity and FEMA trailers are everywhere, providing shelter as people slowly try to rebuild. To ensure that rebuilding efforts are not wasted, and to minimize damage from any future disaster, rebuilding permits are not being issued for some houses that are on flood plains.

Ileene said that the jobs they worked on took a lot longer than expected. For example, when they took up the damaged roof of one of the houses, they discovered that the plywood underneath, as well as some joists, had to be replaced. When they took drywall off, they found that termites had eaten some of the studs. A column that Ileene rested her hand on for a moment, crumbled under her fingers it looked fine, but had been destroyed inside by termites.

The rebuilding is going slowly as insurance money is trickling in, but about 20 insurance companies have gone out of business. Ileene was told by the pastor of the church where the team stayed, that only about a quarter of the people are back, and that of 123 schools, only seven are open.

Still, there are sure signs of improvement. More schools are expected to reopen soon, and a local feeding centre that used to feed 1100 people a day, five days a week, is now only feeding 200. Although some people say they would never stay through another hurricane, they are not discouraged and feel the response has been good.

A sign that Ileene spotted on a front lawn says it all: “We’re coming home”

Godfrey native to make case for CommonwealthFree Trade

byJeffGreen

Brent Cameron is what you might call a once and future native of Cole Lake (near Godfrey). He grew up on the old Peters farm, and attended Hinchinbrooke Public School before moving out west. A few years ago he returned to the Yarker area and began working as a researcher at Queen’s University. Later this summer he will be taking over the family farm at Cole Lake , returning to the home of his youth with his own young family.

Prior to that, however, he will be travelling to London , England to meet with the Royal Commonwealth Society and promote some of the ideas encapsulated in his recent book, The Case for Commonwealth Free Trade.

Brent Cameron has been interested in international politics and economics for many years, and was involved in Provincial politics in the 1990’s as a staff member for Conservative MPP Harry Danford (Hastings/Peterborough). Although he returned to Queen’s to work in the medical research department six years ago, he has never lost interest in politics.

Brent comes by his interest in the British Commonwealth honestly, as the descendent from an Eastern Ontario Loyalist family that arrived in Cole Lake in the 1840’s.

A few years ago, he began to develop the idea of a Commonwealth Free Trade Zone, that would provide access for the 1.8 billion people who live in Commonwealth countries around the world to each others’ markets.

“The attributes that commonwealth countries share, a common language and the common law, translate into a 15% savings in trading with each other to begin with. When you consider the existing links, through the 20 or so organisations that members of the Commonwealth are a part of, there are some obvious advantages to forming a trading alliance,” Cameron said in an interview with the News this week.

Cameron argues that respect for the sovereignty of the member states would have to be built into an agreement.

Canada could benefit greatly from a commonwealth trade zone, Cameron says, because of the existing North American Free Trade Alliance (NAFTA) with the United States and Mexico . Capital from Commonwealth nations would flow into Canada for access to the US market and likewise for US investment in Canada .

“If the commonwealth was like the 401, we would be the on ramp for the US , and the off ramp for the other Commonwealth countries.”

The aggregate gross domestic product of commonwealth nations is about 10 trillion dollars, but Cameron sees that figure rising in the next few years, perhaps markedly, as huge developing nations such as Pakistan and India maintain their fast pace of economic growth.

An agreement on the scale that “The Case for Commonwealth FreeTtrade” envisions would take years to bring about, but for now Brent Cameron’s book is merely trying to bring the concept out of the background where it has been lurking for over 40 years.

“John Diefenbaker tried to negotiate a free trade deal in the very early 60’s, but at that point the British Empire was still in people’s minds, and the concept did not go very far. Nowadays most Commonwealth countries are more likely concerned about the US as an Empire builder than England ,” Cameron surmises.

Although Brent Cameron comes, politically, from a Conservative party background (he is connected to a consulting group headed by former Federal Cabinet Minister Sinclair Stevens) the idea of a Commonweatlh Free Trade zone is very much a “multi-partisan” concept.

For a country like Canada , which conducts the vast majority of its trade with one country, diversification is something people of all political stripes can relate to.

“I don’t see us decreasing our trade with the United States ,” Brent Cameron said, “but just increasing our overall trade through new initiatives.”

While Brent Cameron isn’t about to give up his “day job” at Queens anytime soon, his ideas have been having an effect in far-flung corners of the world, in places like London, Johannesburgh, Delhi, and Wellington.

“Many people think that the only people who have an impact are those that come from an urban background, but that is not true,” said Brent Cameron.

While Brent Cameron may be one of the early advocates of a process that could change the economic direction of Canada for decades, he remains a Peters from Godfrey, and intends to raise his children just as he was raised, in a rural Eastern Ontario setting.

Land o' Lakes CommunityServices:Community Support Program

byCheryl Hartwick

The Community Support Program (CSP) is the largest of the programs offered from LOLCS, providing a variety of support services to seniors, people with disabilities and people recovering from illness/surgery. Funding is through the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, and community donations. The service focuses on ensuring seniors remain in their homes longer. The CSP partners with Community Care Access Centre, Pine Meadow Nursing Home, local physicians and other agencies to ensure adequate health care services are accessible to everyone.

There are three coordinators for various programs. Marlene Dacuk coordinates Meals on Wheels and Transportation; Charlene Behnke-Kellar coordinates Meals on Wheels, Diners Club and Exercise classes in Denbigh; and Pam Lemke coordinates Adult Drop-In, Caregiver Support & Counselling, Palliative Care, Education & Training, Friendly Visiting & Telephone Reassurance and Social Recreation. Volunteer Peggy Rahm coordinates the Community Bus and Tuesday night Euchres.

Meals on Wheels are provided to Cloyne, Northbrook , Flinton, Kaladar, Denbigh and surrounding areas. Individuals can order meals regularly or just for a treat now and then. The meals in Denbigh are prepared by the Swiss Inn. On average there are 12 meals each week delivered by two volunteer drivers and Charlene. Currently, the cost for a meal is $5.50 in Denbigh and $5 in Cloyne area.

In Cloyne, volunteer cooks plan and prepare all the meals at the Barrie Township Hall. The cooks inform Marlene what they will be cooking and she prepares a six week menu for the clients. Working in teams, pairs or individually, 12 cooks volunteer their time on a rotating schedule. Approximately 40 meals are delivered each week by three volunteer drivers and Marlene; there have been as many as 70 meals prepared and frozen meals are also available.

The transportation program currently has nine volunteer drivers providing trips to appointments, shopping, and to various social activities. Approximately 40 trips are provided each month, both locally and to urban centres. Clients who qualify for the program pay a small fee for service. The cost to these clients is currently .20/km. (LOLCS makes up the difference to the drivers). Veterans or people on other programs may qualify for the service to be paid for by the other organization (Veteran’s Affairs, ODSP…).

Another popular program, Diners’ Club, in Denbigh, serves a hot nutritious meal to participants. The Diners’ Club is on the first Monday of each month at the Denbigh Hall and all meals are planned and prepared by volunteers. There are 5 volunteers for this program and they all pitch in, sharing jobs to ensure that meals and clean up are looked after. Approximately 40 meals are prepared each month. Charlene also provides an exercise group each week in the Denbigh United Church basement; the class is every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.

Due to space limitations, I will continue the Community Support Program information next week. If you are interested in any of the programs, or in becoming a volunteer for the agency, please call LOLCS at 613-336-8934.

How ugly is your bedroom?Interior Zone celebrates 10th Anniversary

by Jeff Green

To celebrate its 10th Anniversary, The Interior Zone in Northbrook will be giving away $2,500 worth of decorating products and/or services to one lucky homeowner.

But in order to be lucky, the homeowner must be unlucky enough to sleep in a very ugly bedroom to begin with.

To enter the contest, it is only necessary to fill out a simple form and include a picture of the ugliest bedroom in Eastern Ontario .

The Interior Zone will work with the winner to turn ugly into beautiful using decorating know-how and products from the store.

The contest was the idea of store owner Wendy Thompson, who says that she looks forward to the challenge of transforming an ugly space, similar to what is done on TV decorating shows.

“We’ll work with the winner to get them the bedroom of their dreams.”

The Interior Zone has become a fixture in Northbrook over the past ten years. As more and more people decide to redecorate their homes, and people continue to build retirement and seasonal homes in the area, The Interior Zone has seen steady growth in its number of clientele and overall sales throughout its ten year existence.

An ever-increasing product line, including adding custom kitchens last year, has enabled The Interior Zone to keep up with new trends, always maintaining a focus on a relaxed country style of decorating.

This spring sees the first issue of “Stepping into The Interior Zone”, an eight page newsletter complete with tips on window treatments, a featured home, and information about the “Ugliest Home Contest”.

South Pacific -- Those singing nurses!

byJenniferBennet

South Pacific, the musical, is soon to be performed at Sharbot Lake High School , thanks to the hard work of the North Frontenac Little Theatre Association. I'm a member of the chorus of nurses stationed on a Pacific island during the Second World War. The musical has so many great songs it's hard to single out one, but the chorus takes part in some of the best, such as 'Bali Ha'i, 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair' and 'Honey Bun'. You'll be tempted to sing along. And we nurses not only sing, we also get to wear colourful, 1940's style costumes designed and made by Geoffrey Murray, who teaches at Sharbot Lake High School. For us, it will be summer in April as we dance in cotton tops and shorts yes, we nurses are singing in our civvies, not our uniforms.

We're a big group of nurses. When you come to the show, don’t expect to see us a lot - we're background people after all, filling in behind the dramatic love stories happening on centre stage. But you can expect to see a lot of us, including myself, Tamara Carmichael, Marilyn Hopkins, Lucy Kellar, Linda Laraby, Donna Larocque, Kathy Lowery King, Karen Reynolds, Deanne Mitchell, Barb Rodgers (our esteemed choreographer, who has her work cut our for her!), Deborah Spaar, Melisa Tallion, Kelly Weatherby, Karen Wolsey, Lydia Sargeant and Pam Woods. We still haven't figured out how we'll all fit on stage for our big finale kick line!

One of the directors characterized the women of the chorus as being in two groups, the young nurses and the mature nurses - who are "over 21." I'm thrilled by that description.

Having a big chorus, the bigger the better, is a way to involve as many people as possible in all the fun and some of the music. We're working hard, so we hope you’ll come out and look for the nurses in the background on Thursday April 27, Friday April 28 or Saturday April 29 at 7:30 p.m. or on Sunday April 30 at 2 p.m.

Canadian CancerSociety Volunteer AppreciationDinner

by Jeff Green

Mary Howes greeted a smiling group of volunteers from the Central and North Frontenac region of the Canadian Cancer Society, as they gathered on the main floor of the Olden Township hall after feasting on ham and scalloped potatoes prepared by the Land o’ Lakes Seniors club.

She introduced the evening’s guest speaker, Siobhan McArdle, a radiologist from the Southeast Ontario Cancer Centre in Kingston who spoke to the impact of the money raised by the Cancer Society on improved treatment and research both in Kingston and throughout the country.

She also talked about how important cancer society volunteers are to patients who receive treatment at the cancer centre, and to the volunteer drivers who help many people get to their appointments, which is particularly relevant in the rural area.

“Regardless of the weather, volunteer drivers make sure that patients arrive on time, at the right place. And they wait as long as they need to take the people home again. They also provide tremendous support to the patients. The work the cancer society volunteers do is invaluable,” McArdle said

She talked about a recent CBC TV program, Finding the Cancer Answer, which was highly critical of the Canadian Cancer Society, and which has made canvassing for donations difficult in some parts of the Country. The program criticized the society for not advocating strongly enough for the recognition of various environmental risk factors that can affect cancer rates. McArdle said that the program was one-sided, noting that “a 45-minute, wide-ranging interview with the head of the Canadian Cancer Society was reduced to a 30-second clip when the program aired.

The effect of the program did not seem to be too great locally, as local chapter treasurer Kathy Gray announced that the recent door to door canvassing program in Central and North Frontenac and Bedford raised $20,258. An additional $1,851 was raised through daffodil sales. As well, $3,921 was raised by the society in this region in 2005 through in memoriam donations.

Mary Howes, nicknamed “Marshalling Mary” for her ability to coordinate the volunteers in the region and send them down over a thousand kilometres of road for door-to-door canvassing, introduced the canvassing captains that were instrumental in this year’s successful campaign. They are: Pat Barr (Bedford), Lois Weber (Plevna), Bob Olmstead (Snow Road), Norma Granlund (Crow Lake), Philippa Gray (Mountain Grove), Rick Brown (Arden), Sheila Deline (Henderson), Olive Allen (Mississippi), Dorothy Fraser (Hwy. 38), Pat Dowdall (Sharbot Lake), Kathy Gray (509), Nora Przewoznik (Clarendon), and Virginia Norris (Wilkinson).

“For every $100 raised through door-to-door canvassing, the Cancer Society makes $95,” said Mary Howes. “The Cancer Lottery, on the other hand, only raises $25 from every $100 ticket that is sold.”

Mary Howes also thanked the Zealand Women’s Circle, whose members have donated 36 handmade quilts to local cancer patients over the past three years.

Claire Macfarlane organises volunteer driving in the region. She announced that last year a total of 14 drivers made 292 trips to bring 20 different patients to treatment, driving a total of 30,530 kilometres.

Finally, certificates were handed out for 5, 10, 20, and 30-year volunteers with the Cancer Society. Among the recipients was Judy Gray, who has been volunteering for 30 years.

Later this year, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving weekend, the third annual Walk for Cancer will be held in Sharbot Lake . (Look for details as the event approaches)

Clar-MillHistoricalCommunityArchives open

by JuleKochBrison

When Bethany Armstrong was in the process of re-publishing her father Charlie’s history of the Clarendon and Miller townships, “Away Back in Clarendon and Miller”, the publisher asked for a photograph for the book. Charles Armstrong had turned the rights for his book over to the township, so Bethany naturally went to them and asked for a photo from their archives.

“Archives?” was the reply, “Well …. we don’t have archives.” And so Bethany conceived the idea of creating the first community archives, to be funded by sales from her father’s book. The grand opening was held on Tuesday May 9 at the Plevna Library, where the collection is housed. The space is small, a humble cupboard, but Mayor Ron Maguire said, “it may be a small beginning, but it’s the start of a big dream. It’s a step forward in the maturity of North Frontenac.”

Marg Axford of the Cloyne & District Historical Society has been very much involved in the project, and said at the opening, “Every community needs to keep its stories. If not, when the children and grandchildren come along there won’t be any stories.”

The collection is print-based and many people have contributed. Bethany Armstrong says there is still lots of space; however, there is not enough room for artifacts. Marg Axford said that the Cloyne Museum would help store artifacts until the day when there might be a museum in Plevna. Then, she said, “I’ll make sure the artifacts are returned where they belong.”

Bethany Armstrong has also just finished compiling a new book by her uncle Andrew Armstrong, which supplements her father’s book. Funds from the sales will also go to the archives.

Bethany encouraged people to consider the things they find while cleaning houses and sheds as having historical value. She showed a receipt book she had found while cleaning out a shed, and in it was a record of a minister’s stipend for $2, dated January 1, 07.

A sheet was passed out to the audience that was made up by KFPL Rural Librarian Janice Coles, detailing the sorts of things people might consider donating to the archives. These include: local family histories; personal diaries, journals and letters; school yearbooks; newspaper clippings; records of local organizations; political campaign brochures; newsletters.

While the library cannot offer tax receipts for donations of items, they can for any monetary contributions.

For more information contact Bethany Armstrong (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., 613-479-2867), the Plevna library, 479-2542; or Janice Coles at 549-8888 ext. 1500

NorthFrontenac approves Sunday gun hunting

by Jule Koch Brison

At its meeting last week, North Frontenac Township revisited its earlier decision against Sunday gun hunting and joined the ranks of municipalities that have approved the practice. A delegation consisting of taxpayer Chris McNamara, and OFAH representatives Greg Farrant and Mike MacDonald gave presentations to council on the issue. McNamara said that Sunday gun hunting was allowed when he was young; he grew up with it, and it formed a powerful bond for families. Farrant and MacDonald gave statistics about the high cost of crop damage and livestock predation by wildlife. Farrant also said the OPP reports that there is one car-wildlife collision every 38 minutes in Ontario and that the MNR is confident that Sunday gun hunting is the answer to all these problems.

Councilor Betty Hunter said there are no crop farmers in the area. She is opposed to Sunday gun hunting because the people she has spoken to are all against it. They enjoy the peace and quiet of gun-free Sundays; some people leave the area during hunting season. Councilor Dave Smith agreed, saying the people he has spoken to are glad to get a day off after six days of hunting. They visit other hunt camps and socialize, and the wildlife can rest for a day.

Councilor Clayton and Deputy Mayor Lemke said, however, that the people they had spoken to are for it, and Councilors Perry and Good were also in favour.

Betty Hunter asked for a recorded vote, and the motion to allow Sunday gun hunting passed 4 to 2, with Mayor Maguire abstaining.

Robin Riddell and Stan Seitz gave a presentation to council on preparing for a flu pandemic, which experts say is 100% certain to happen, although no one knows when. The prediction is based on a maximum observed interval of 38 years between flu pandemics. Concerns are centering around the avian flu, which, however, is not spreading right now very effectively between humans

Robin Riddell said there would be limited outside help in a pandemic and North Frontenac must make plans to be as self-sufficient as possible in such a case. It must make preparations in conjunction with the emergency plan it already has in place. The three things that residents can do are: 1) Get informed and stay informed; 2) create a store of enough emergency supplies to last a month; and 3) get a flu shot. Although existing flu vaccines may not be effective against new strains of the virus, the latter will help.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has a checklist of the items that should be stockpiled. They include: canned and dry foods; bottled water (at least 2 litres per person per day); pain relievers; cough and cold, anti-diarrhea and stomach medicines; flashlights and batteries. For more information visit pandemicinfluenza.gc.ca/

Stan Seitz pointed out that the preparations for a possible flu pandemic would also help in any kind of emergency.

Council acknowledged a donation of $62,000 towards the new fire hall from the Volunteer Ladies Fire Auxiliary. The group has raised $100,000, and the balance will be forthcoming shortly. Mayor Maguire said the donations represent years of hard work and dedication, and the group’s achievement is absolutely astounding.

The township’s waste water inspections will continue, with the target being 100 this year. As it’s late in the year, the township will stick with Mississippi Valley Conservation, which did the inspections last year for $60 each, but may switch next year to the Department of Public Health, which does the inspections for free.

Council endorsed a resolution from Frontenac County petitioning the Ontario Ministry of Labour to exempt paramedics from the Employee Standards Act (ESA), which requires that employees have a break to eat every five hours and limits the number of hours employees can be required to work each day. The County argues that the requirements could place patients at mortal risk, and that the industry itself wants these issues to be negotiated in local contracts. Frontenac County spent $450,000 extra on Land Ambulance services in 2005 to meet the ESA requirements.

The Waste Diversion Task Force recommended that a plan to deal with hazardous household waste be implemented; that waste site attendants be better trained; and that the municipality undertake an educational program for taxpayers. The Task Force wishes to continue, but Mayor Maguire asked them to give a final report on June 8 and disband. Councilor Perry asked if the municipality could give an incentive, such a free bag tags, for local businesses to provide garbage bins for the public. No decision was made on the suggestion.

The Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) will hold a public meeting on May 26 at the Clar-Mill Hall. Council agreed to waive the $10 rental fee and Mayor Maguire joked, “We should ask for a donation.”

Council authorized the mayor and clerk to sign a contract with Northbridge Group Inc. to implement a marketing strategy for the Crown Land Stewardship Program
