EVENTS	Reclaimed materials for ADHS art projects By Matt Flikweert Nineteen ADHS Grade 11/12 students of the Art and Manufacturing class created a 25 foot sculpture made out of recycled material for the E/K Township Greenbush Landfill Site. A short installation ceremony took place on Monday, June 14. “You can look at it, and interpret it any way you want,” said ADHS Teacher Scappaticci-Olajos but “it’s all about recycling and reusing.” Students never came up with an official name for their project but another project they are working on will be called “Eco Smart Man”. The teachers of Arts and Manufacturing Program are Noel Rogers and Mary-Louise Scappaticci-Olajos. “Surrounding communities were very supportive,” stated Scappaticci-Olajos. “Colville’s in Prescott, for example, donated materials, Thousand Islands Concrete donated their services and the concrete to set the sculpture, and The Sundial in Athens provided space for our work. The Township has asked us to complete a second sculpture and mural next fall. The students at ADHS have also worked on other projects such as painting 24 garbage cans for Athens, projects for Habitat for Humanity and a 16-foot mural for Mapleview Lodge.” ADHS students and teachers of the Art and Manufacturing Program, Elizabethtown/Kitley Township officials and ADHS Principal Gord Phillips (fourth left) during the unveiling of a 25-foot sculpture at the Greenbush Landfill Site. Submitted photo Partners raising funds for park expansion To The Mural The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) and the Thousand Islands Watershed Land Trust (TIWLT) are fundraising to expand Charleston Lake Provincial Park, a popular recreational destination for families. The TIWLT is raising $70,000 for the Frontenac Arch Natural Area which will complete this 609-acre (246-hectare) project. The expansion property boasts a wide diversity of habitats; exposed rocky shores, wetlands, bare rock ridges, and mature mixed upland and lowland deciduous forests. It includes approximately 7 km of shoreline on Red Horse Lake, 2 km of shoreline on Little Long Lake, and is adjacent to the portage trail between Charleston and Red Horse Lakes, part of Charleston Lake Provincial Park. Protecting this site will help to conserve native species, some rare and at-risk, by providing habitat connectivity across the Frontenac Arch, as well as maintaining important wetland and forest functions within the larger landscape. To help with this project, please contact TIWLT to make a donation at 613-659-4824 or gift@tiwlt.ca. For more information on the Frontenac Arch visit www.natureconservancy. ca/frontenac. The protection of the expansion property is a partnership between NCC, TIWLT, Ontario Parks (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources), the Charleston Lake Association, the Friends of Charleston Lake Provincial Park, the Leeds County Stewardship Council, and the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve. The Government of Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources are providing project funds for which NCC must raise matching private donations. * The Nature Conservancy of Canada is the nation’s leading land conservation organization. Since 1962 NCC and its partners have helped to protect more than 2 million acres (800,000 hectares), coast to coast. To learn more visit: www.natureconservancy. ca/ontario.
