Business case for 5-unit seniors apartment building in NF viable, says consultant North Frontenac Council, June 14

B

by Craig Bakay

ased on preliminary cost estimates, anticipated revenues and assumed contributions, a five-unit seniors apartment building (four one-bedroom, one two-bedroom plus amenity space) would be viable, Ken Foulds of Re-Fact Consulting told North Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last Friday in Plevna.

Under the suggested model, the total costs would be around $1.4 million, of which about $330,000 would come from Frontenac County, about $300,000 from the Province’s Affordable Housing Program and about $450,000 from the township, some of which presumably could be in the form of development fees.

“We looked at six municipally owned sites, three in Cloyne and three in Plevna and got it down to one in Cloyne and one in Plevna,” he said. “There’s certainly a viable business case.

He said rent on a one-bedroom would be around $660 per month, which he said was 80 per cent of the going market rate, based on landlord surveys.

“My biggest concern is fining seniors to fill them,” said Coun. John Inglis. “I know Central (Frontenac Township) has had some problems.

“Is there a case for say two units?”

“There would be less borrowing costs but there would still be upfront costs,” Foulds said. “You’re looking at $200/square foot construction costs.”

“When the survey was done, the highest number of respondents came from Cloyne,” said Coun. Vernon Hermer. “How would the rest of Wards 2 and 3 feel about living in Cloyne?”

“I find this quite doable but the big

question is still going to be 5, 4, 3 units,” said Inglis.

Mayor Ron Higgins suggested Council digest the information before bringing it back for discussion.

“Do as much as you can when you can,” said Foulds. “It takes a lot to get a project built and if you build three and want to add on, you’ll have to go through the process again.”

“Another survey?” said Hermer.

“The survey suggested people wanted in-home services,” said Inglis. “The County said ‘no’ so it’s time to give up that fight and time to get the $300,000.”

Council also heard a presentation from JP Melville Non-profit Business & Project Management on the Abbeyfield Canada Seniors Housing Model.

Storage unit Council approved a request from the Cloyne and District Historical Society to build storage shed at the Pioneer Museum.

“I can’t see any reason not to, we own the land,” said Coun. John Inglis. “Thanks for asking.”

Efficiency study Council approved an “efficiency study” at the request of Mayor Ron Higgins.

“I don’t see that we’re going to see a lot of savings,” said Coun. John Inglis. “I don’t object to spending $5,000 on it but I don’t have very high expectations.”

“It’s something we’re going to have to document for the Province at some point,” said Higgins.

Planned outage A planned power outage happened at the meeting right on schedule at 11:30 a.m..

Council continued on, something that wasn’t surprising given the extensive amount of experience they’ve had working in the dark.

New murals by Christina Faiers, Linda Rush and Richard Emery were unveiled at the North Frontenac Council meeting last Friday. A fourth mural, by Kayla Newman, wasn’t quite ready for the unveiling.

Liberals opt for youth in LFK

T

wenty four year-old Kayley Kennedy, a recent Masters graduate in political management, will carry the Liberal banner in Lanark Frontenac Kingston into the coming federal election.

Kennedy has worked in the parliamentary office of Toronto MP Jules Dzerowics and currently runs her own communications company from her family home near Smiths Falls.

She was chosen on Saturday after nomination meetings were held in Sydenham and Perth. While the results of the vote were not announced, party officials said that Kennedy was a very popular choice among the 99 party members who voted in person at the meetings. The other candidate who was vying for the nomination is Paolo Villa of Carleton Place.

She acknowledged, in a phone interview with the Frontenac News on Tuesday (June 18) that she faces “an uphill battle” in this riding, come election day in October.

In the previous election in 2014, the Liberal candidate, Phil Archambault, received 1/3 of the vote (33.76%) finishing second to long time Conservative MP Scott Reid (47.6%) in an election where the Conservative Party were tossed from government.

The winning margin for Reid was 8,000 votes. The 2014 election was the first in what was a newly created riding that united all of Lanark County into one jurisdiction, along with mainland Frontenac County and the portion of the4 City of Kingston north of Hwy. 41. It was Reid’s sixth consecutive successful campaign, going back to 2000 in the former LanarkCarleton riding.

“As I have been travelling the riding, I have heard clearly, particularly in Frontenac and North Kingston, that their MP isn’t seen. One of the things that I learned while working for Jules Dzerowics, from watching how hard she worked, was the value of being present in the riding.

“The incumbent in this riding [Reid] has a role with Giant Tiger, his family business. I think an MP should be working at it full time, coming back to the constituency every Friday, Saturday and Sunday when the house is in session so that you can truly represent those interests in Ottawa.”

As far as issues are concerned, she thinks that the same things are important to the electorate throughout the riding.

“Agricultural issues are important, there are farmers throughout the riding, as well as good quality Internet access. I’ve been running a home-based business and without good Internet service I wouldn’t be able to do that.”

Coming up from the ranks of the Liberal youth wing, she is comfortable with the party’s program and with the record of the Trudeau government.

“825,000 people across the country have been lifted out of poverty over the last four years, which is quite an accomplishment.”

She said the Trudeau government deserves credit for following through on a campaign promise to legalise cannabis, paving the way for a new industry that has had a huge impact in her home town of Smiths Falls.

Sharbot Lake Criminal Court

Not guilty verdict on stabbing charge J

onathan Sparks pled not guilty to charges of assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon.

The alleged victim, Mr. Kennedy, who lives on the same road as Mr. Sparks, was the main witness for the prosecution. He testified that at 3am in the morning early last July, Christopher Gould, who Kennedy knew from school days over a decade ago, knocked loudly on his door. Kennedy came down the stairs from the upstairs bedroom to the door, opened the light and the door to talk to Mr. Gould.

Insurance Specialty “He kept yelling to me that I had sold him Group s Kingston out to the Badour’s. I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. Then I noticed a

figure in the shadow next to the door on my little flower bed, and then I saw a knife jabbed upwards towards my face. I slammed the door twice on the man’s arm until I could get the door closed,” Kennedy told the court.

Kennedy then said that he told the two men, through the locked door, that he was going to call the police and they backed away. He called the police and then went back to the door, since the two men had not left the property, and told them he had called the police.

Kennedy said that at that time, Jonathan Sparks, who he had already identified in Insurance court Matson as the perpetrator of the attempted stabbing, doubled back to the front door Brokers and slammed his head into the door several times while making guttural noises. The two

men, Sparks and Gould, then left. Kennedy said that the entire incident took 15-20 minutes.

During the cross examination, Mr. Spark’s lawyer said that the part of Kennedy’s testimony about slamming the door on Jonathan Sparks arm and him doubling back and slamming his head against the door, was not part of what he had told police on the night in question. Kennedy said that he was in shock after having a knife “inches from my face” and maybe forgot the details at the time.

Two police officers testified. The first to arrive on the scene that nigth recounted what Kennedy told him when he arrived and in a subsequent video interview at the station. He did not recall Kennedy talking about slamming the door on the attacker’s arm or the head banging incident Kennedy described in court. The rest of his testimony was consistent with what Kennedy had told the court.

The second officer said that she went to Christopher Gould’s house after hearing the allegations, and said that in a small house trailer on the property she found Sparks, Gould, and another man. There were empty cans of beer and coolers in the trailer. Gould came outside to talk to her, and he did not fit the description of the attacker, but she looked in the trailer and saw that Sparks did.

He fit the physical description and the hoodie on the couch where he was sitting fit Mr. Kennedy’s description of the clothing the attacker had been wearing. He came outside and was placed under arrest. Later, under his seat, a knife handle was found, but no blade was located.

In his own testimony, Jonathan Sparks

admitted that he had gone to Kennedy’s house with Gould, but said he remained at least six feet away from Kennedy while Mr. Gould berated him. He said he did not have a knife with him and that no attempted stabbing took place. He said that Kennedy said he was going to call the police and that they left. He said that when Christopher Gould suggested they go to see Kennedy, he went along but did not know anything about what Gould had in mind.

Judge Griffin addressed Mr. Kennedy when delivering his verdict.

He told Kennedy that he believed his testimony and that Sparks was not telling the truth in court, and said that the fact that the knife was never found doesn’t change anything. He said that if he was ruling on the balance of probability he would convict, but the burden of proof in criminal offences is higher than that.

“As long as there is reasonable doubt I have to acquit, and there is reasonable doubt here, I am not 100% certain,” he said, “it would have helped if we had heard from Mr. Gould but we did not. The fact that Sparks, who is 43, has never been convicted of an offence, must also be taken into account.”

Sparks was acquitted on all three charges and was greeted by his relieved family. Mr. Kennedy left the court, muttering to himself.

Conditional Discharge – Daniel Mctiernan pled guilty to a charge of assault, mischief under $5,000, and threaten death/bodily harm. In a plea deal, he was given a conditional discharge, 12 months probation, and a do not contact the victim in the case.

about it, but they had a decision to make,” she said.

The federal election is slated for October 19th, and the official campaign will not be getting underway until September, but Kennedy, like the other candidates, expects to be travelling around the riding all summer meeting voters.

Kennedy joins incumbent Scott Reid (PC party) who lives in Perth, and Green Party candidate Stephen Kotze from Elphin, in the local race. John Theoret from Packenham had been chosen as the candidate for the new Peoples Party of Canada, but media reports this week indicate he has dropped out of the race. The New Democratic Party has not yet selected a candidate.

“Smiths Falls had lost Hershey, Stanley Tools and other large employers, but now Tweed [and its parent company, Canopy Growth] have stepped in and provided growth, good jobs and hope. Without legal cannabis that would not have happened.”

She is also supportive of the government’s decision to jettison one of its other campaign promises, electoral reform.

“I would say that it was a complex issue and the government looked into it carefully and found lots of issues that changed their perspective. These included interference in the electoral system, and an unstable political climate around the world.

They decided now wasn’t the time to do it.

Oddfellows and Rebekahs to celebrate 200th birthday party E SINCE 1970

by Jeff Green

ver wonder what the Oddfellows and Rebekahs are all about?

The roots of the International Order of Oddfellows go back to the medieval ages. In the days before the advent of social services guilds organised to take care of their members who fell ill or ran into difficulties. This commitment to community support was taken up by fraternal societies, and the Oddfellows became established in the United Kingdom.

In North America, the Oddfellows consider the founding of an Oddfellow Lodge in Balti-

more in 1819 by Thomas Wildey as the start of the International Order on this continent/ In 1842, the North American order split from the order based in Manchester, England, and took on the name International Order of Oddfellows (IOOF) Women were welcomed into the order in 1851 with the formation of the daughters of Rebekah. To this day the command of the Oddfellows and Rebekahs is to “visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan.”

The Oddfellows and Rebekahs of

Harrowsmith provide service in both Frontenac and Lennox and Addington. They also operate a hall that is available for community events, the Golden Links Hall.

This weekend they will be marking the 200th anniversary of the IOOF with a special celebration on Sunday afternoon (June 23) from 2-6pm. There will be presentations and memorabilia on display about the history of the IOOF locally and internationally. All are welcome to attend. For information, call Brenda at 613-372-2410

tion Centre have been extremely fortunate to have had this incredible teacher for twenty-six of those years and he will be dearly missed.

Mr. McVety has always taught in the Social Sciences department; teaching geography, history, civics, philosophy and law. He enjoys providing enrichment opportunities through field trips and guest speakers, making his lessons come alive. He has encouraged his students to be active members of society and understand their responsibilities through such organizations as United Way, Student Vote, and 30 Hour Famine.

Mr. McVety was the driving force behind the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative in the civics class which has resulted in numerous charities receiving funding based on student presentations.

His teaching extends beyond the engaging lessons he has provided in his classroom. He has taught students how to give of themselves and to be kind to one another.

His infectious smile and his big heart are fondly remembered by students as they understand that he genuinely cares and respects each individual student while encouraging them to reach their full potential as they pursue their dreams.

Letter Re - Septic Savvy

T

he Frontenac News report on the “Septic Savvy Seminar” held in North Frontenac was discouraging. The critical role of septic systems in conserving water quality in the lakes was never made clear. That role is prevention of nutrients from entering the lake from septic systems. The discussion of “pollution” and the reference to E. coli apparently was considered the primary role of septic systems. E. coli is a very large number of bacteria only s few of which are damaging to humans. As Gord Mitchell pointed out, many E. coli come from all kinds of vertebrates and do not indicate the functional state of septic systems.

First Appearances – Sasha Baillargeon, charged with mischief under $5,000, set a trial date for September 23.

Randy Vankoughnet appeared in court to answer a charge of failing to attend court.

He wondered what the status of the other charges he is facing is. Judge Griffin said he did not know, but they were probably on hold waiting for this appearance. He will return on July 15 to face all of his charges.

Ongoing – Chantel Deschamps, facing a charge of theft under $5,000, will return on July 15.

• Over 90 people attended the Historic Mines event hosted by CMCA on Saturday. Guests browsed displays of local mines and enjoyed the historic maps shared by Frank Swaye and Douglas and Iain Roberts. The guest speaker was Chris Fouts, a practicing geologist, prospector, long time mineral collector and operator of the Rockhound Gemboree in Bancroft. He provided a wealth of information which stimulated the audience to ask amazing questions; Chris competently shared his knowledge. Among the audience were people with first-hand experiences with some of these local mines. Barb Sproule was in the Boerth Mine when her father was assessing whether it could be re-opened; Carl Kaestner’s Father, Oscar, was a carpenter who helped build the Ore Chimney Mine; Ian Brummell provided intriguing information about the turbine system for the Ore Chimney Mine. Many thanks to those who donated door prizes. Thank you also to Gleva Lemke for the beautiful mural that graced the stage at the event.

Even Gorilla tape over that road would not help. I think it would be wiser to import camels as their feet would probably fit in the holes. It makes us wonder if there are any workers in the township.

Numbers were down at the third annual Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation Bass Derby, said Chief Doreen Davis, who also served as chief tournament official at the weigh-in at Oso Beach.

“You can’t anchor in this weather,” she said. “But because it’s any lake north of the 401, people could find their own favourite spots.

“And it’s about getting the community together. All of the kids get a prize and even though it’s a bass derby, kids can weigh in anything, even if it’s a minnow.”

However, the kids division win, was anything but a minnow.

Owen Lightheart landed a 3-pound bass on his “last cast of the day” to win the rod and reel combination.

Craig Schonaier took the $630 first prize in the derby with a 4.7 pound lunker, which he caught in Mosquito Lake, followed

by Connor Clow’s 4.1 pound $180 second place winner. Jacob White took third with a 3.14 pounder.

Over at the King of Sharbot Lake tournament, which was limited to fish caught in Sharbot Lake, 22 teams braved the weather with Team #12, consisting of Bill Bowick, Scott Bullen and Brayden Bullen taking home the $1,500 first prize with a combined weight of 14.11 pounds.

Second place ($750) went to Team # 19 consisting of Billy Chambers and Taylor Lowry with a combined weight of 13.12 pounds. Third place ($500) went to Team #5 of Dave Lockridge and Steve Lockridge with a combined weight of 13.11 pounds.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING RESCHEDULED TO BE INCLUDED WITH THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 25 - Special Council Meeting – Review of Official Plan June 25, 2019 4 p.m., at the Soldiers Memorial Hall, 1107 Garrett St. Sharbot Lake, ON.

COUNCIL MEETING

Rezoning in Loughborough District Township Planner Trudy Gravel opened a public meeting concerning a property at the intersection of Eel Bay Road and Charlie Green Road, on Eel Bay of Sydenham Lake.

The proposal is to rezone a narrow waterfront property from resort commercial to special waterfront residential and replace three small cottages, a dock and a private but commonly used boat launch site with a single detached dwelling, a shed, a garage, and two docks.

Currently the site is described as “heavily culturally impacted” with an eroding shoreline, beside a Provincially significant wetland.

Gravel’s report states that the redevelopment of this site as proposed with greater setback distances will not have an environmental impact on the water quality of Eel Bay nor on the wetland (marsh) located near the southern portion of the property.

“The proposal provides an opportunity to reestablish (renaturalize) the shoreline vegetation that will both improve the habitat for wildlife species as well as provide stability and prevent erosion in the foreslope areas.” The boat launch will no longer be open to the public.

The only comment from the public was from neighbour David Plumpton, who was fully in support, saying that the heavy public use of this private boat launch in the past has led to overuse, noise, rowdiness, and littering.

Councillor Sutherland questioned allowing two docks, but the owner, Simon Clarke, said the second, smaller dock was in a location where he could back his boat down to the water for launching. (The main dock is down a steep slope which is currently being stabilized.)

Council approved the rezoning by-law.

Dogs Barking: A Noise Bylaw Issue?

In response to complaints from Harold and Lynn Snider about the noise of barking dogs believed to be originating from neighbouring Ben Acres Kennels, Councillor Revill brought a motion that the noise levels at the Snider property should be professionally measured. CAO Orr estimated that fees for such a measurement would be between $1,500 and $2,000 and still would not prove whether or not a township bylaw has been breached, as the bylaws do not reference

decibel levels, using only the broad, subjective term “nuisance.”

Council defeated the motion, instead choosing to direct staff to work with development services to draft a bylaw update, perhaps one which would exempt dog kennels. (This is the only complaint about barking that Council has received in the past three years, and no other neighbours have complained: In most cases this type of matter is resolved between neighbours.)

Recreation Committee Restructuring Council considered a three-part motion that: 1) Council strike a “Recreation and Leisure Facilities Committee” and a “Community Programming & Events Committee” 2) that this structure be put in place for a trial period of 12 months from the date of committee appointments, and 3) that staff be directed to actively advertise for committee appointments to these committees with a deadline of July 19th .

Councillor Norm Roberts made an amendment that a specific date (September 30, 2020) be chosen for the review of the trial period, and Deputy Mayor Sleeth seconded it. Council passed the amended motion unanimously. Sleeth complimented Recreation Supervisor Tim Laprade on his excellent and detailed report which made this possible.

Sleeth also noted a recent example of local volunteer work: in order to bring the Storrington Centre kitchen up to commercial standards, volunteer Rebecca Smith raised the funds to buy a commercial stove by canvassing hall users and potential users.

Morgan Subdivision Update Following a site visit and staff review of the Sydenham Valleyview (Morgan) Subdivision agreement, Director of Development Services, Claire Dodds reported that “it is staff’s opinion that the paving of driveways and any outstanding seeding/sodding is a matter that is best addressed between the developer and property owners to come to an agreement to complete the outstanding site work without direct involvement from the Township.”

Lot drainage and grading is at various stages throughout the subdivision, and RKR Landholders is responsible for completing work on the road and sidewalk between Rutledge Road and the communal mailboxes before the final approval can be issued. Dodds attributed some of the problems in communications as having occurred as a result of staff changes during the subdivision’s development.

Rideau Waterway Monitoring Deputy Mayor Sleeth reported on a meeting between the Cataraqui Conservation Authority, Queen’s, the Ministry of the Environment (and other related groups) that addressed this summer’s plans to monitor the water quality of the Rideau and connected tributaries. The water off Gilmour’s point in Dog Lake is currently being tested.

Expanded fireworks in Sydenham Curds and Cooks at Back Forty

T

he Township of South Frontenac and the Sydenham Canada Day Committee announce expanded fireworks show and viewing area.

This year the township is working with Northstar Fireworks to bring the Sydenham Canada Day celebration to the next level. On July 1st, at approximately 9:45 p.m. as part of the annual Sydenham Canada Day festivities, a fireworks show will be held. Given the expanded fireworks show, the viewing area has also been expanded to include the entire Point Park. The fireworks will be released from the Cataraqui Trail, across the lake, toward the Point Park. Boaters who watch the show from the water will need to adjust their mooring locations.

South Frontenac Mayor, Ron Vandewal says, “With the change in the location that

the Fireworks are being set off from, will have the entire Point Memorial Park available for spectator viewing. We anticipate that this will be the biggest show to date and will allow for increased safety and a greater show experience for residents and spectators.”

In order to provide the necessary safety zone for the presentation of the Fireworks a portion of the Cataraqui Trail will be closed at 2:00 PM and reopened around 10:30 PM. The Township and Fireworks providers ask that you please respect the boundaries put in place.

For more information contact: Tim Laprade, Supervisor of Arena and Recre-

Alvin’s commitment to volunteerism and supporting our community truly enhances the quality of life for all residents. He is an inspiration to all who call South Frontenac home, and his hard work and dedication ensures that we all get to enjoy and celebrate our wonderful community.

Alvin currently sits on the Storrington District Recreation Committee, where he has been an active member for several years. Alvin has most recently acted as Chair of the Committee, going above and beyond to ensure that the

district’s valuable teams, associations, facilities, events, and programs are well represented within the Township.

In addition to his work with community recreation, Alvin has been on the Battersea Pumpkin Festival Committee since its inception 25 years ago. This festival is a keystone event for the Township of South Frontenac and Alvin has been an invaluable member of the team, always taking on many roles and responsibilities.

Without the hard work and dedication of Alvin, the festival would not be where it is today. Alvin also plays a large role in other volunteer pursuits, such as the

Pumpkin Pie Coffee House and Blue Skies Musical Festival. He can often be found volunteering wherever is needed in the community, such as one-time fundraising events, church happenings, and anywhere else that needs a skilled helping hand.

Alvin is a tremendous supporter of this community, and there is no doubt that he deserves this award for his outstanding volunteerism. Our community is a much greater place because of all that he does.

Harrowmsith hosts a D-Day commemoration service B renda Crawford knew just the place in Soouth Frontenad where a ceremony marking D-Day should take place.

She started working the phone. Soon she had arranged for the Mayor and some other local politicians, legion and community members, and several classes from nearby Harrowsmith Public School.

On the afternoon of June 5, a gathering was arranged at the new Harrowsmith junction, where there is a public square and a sculptured-metal poppies as a permanent feature. The former site of the Harrowsmith train station is just metres away, and Crawford remembers her own father walking to the station with other men from Harrowsmith and vicinity, to board the train that started their journey to World War II. “Right there,” she said, pointing northeast to the corner of road 38 and the HarrowsmithSydenham Road, “my mother stood, leaning

on the only gas pump in town at the time, watching my father walk to the train station to go off to war.”

Mayor Vandewal said a few words, some wreaths were laid to mark the occasion and a few people were wearing poppies, which they pinned to one of the wreaths. After a few moments, one of the Harrowsmith PS teachers, said “the students would like to sing ‘Oh Canada’”.

The students sang ‘Oh Canada’, and everyone else joined in. The students slowly walked away, back to school, and the assembly slowly broke apart as people went back to their daily routines.

“I feel that it is important,” Crawford said as people were leaving, “for us to acknowledge these events that shaped who we are, so the next generation will have some memory of what my parents’ entire generation endured in those years.”

Legion members, cadets, students, and residents marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Harrowsmith on June 5

Local quilter taking the art down paths less travelled

by Craig Bakay hor Gawdan likes to “keep busy.”

To that end, the former Nortel employee has built his own home, which is heavily influenced by the works of J.R.R. Tolkein.

He loves working with wood and has taken several course in things like joinery and other construction techniques.

A few years ago, he decided to take up quilting with his wife and took courses.

The two of them made a quilt together and he made another “for my daughter”.

But somewhere along the line, he discovered that he “didn’t like sewing in straight lines.”

After a trip to Africa, he came back with some new fabrics and things started to change. He started to incorporate non-traditional quilting squares within the traditional quilting format.

“I saw a quilt hanging on a parapet and started collecting African fabrics,” he said.

“I was attracted by the vibrancy of the colours.”

After a trip to Australia, which included a trek across the Outback, the ‘straight lines’ totally disappeared.

“I came back with about $500 worth of aboriginal fabrics and decided I’d better do something with them,” he said.

The result was an 8’x8’ masterpiece depicting his experiences Down Under, that ended up winning a Viewer’s Choice nod.

“Australia Sonoline” is a collage of images

ranging from the Sydney Opera House to Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock) and all sorts of modern and traditional inclusions that just sort of flow together in an organic flux that moves the viewer’s eye all around his textured canvas. You literally have to keep reminding yourself that this is a quilt.

His latest work promises to be his masterpiece, a 4’x8’ exploration of evolution inspired by one of his son’s songs — Beneficial Symbiosis. The lyrics are stitched into bottom of the piece.

It’s a visual journey that begins with the creation of the Earth, through periods of volcanism, the beginnings of life, the advent of mammals and finally including the colonization of Mars, with a myriad of images and concepts in between.

He’s entered it in the Colour with a U show put on by the Studio Art Quilt Associates in March and April of 2020 in Kitchener.

The piece itself may be a metaphor for Gawdan’s philosophy and is certainly a product of his methodology and the way he likes to work.

“I don’t spend hours on a computer designing a quilt,” he said. “This one started out as a little sketch on paper.

“As I go on, I look at the colours, the flow of the material.

“At some point, I may say to myself, ‘I have to go out and buy some more green.’”

He said these last two quilts have taken about “five or six months, working four or five host the next America Cup right her in South Frontenac!

In other news, the KAISC now has a "special olympic" team. Although we are not officially recognized by special olympics, this will be our goal. Ice Stock was featured as a sport at the last winter special olympics in Austria in 2018. And so, we will have a team for the future. Currently we have 6 athletes in our club who have taken up the sport. The sport is a genuine opportunity for inclusion and we are so proud of our athletes with special needs who are kicking butt with us!

“I usually go to bed early and get up around 3 a.m.”

Gawdan refers to his quilting as a hobby, and says that’s what it will stay.

“I’ve never wanted my hobbies to become a job,” he said. “But as we get older, we need to keep the brain moving.

“Quilting is like woodworking without the splinters.”
