South Dundas deputy mayor Jim Locke has long been pushing for the United Counties of SDG to turn over a portion of County Road 1 to the Municipality of South Dundas.

At the March 17, South Dundas council meeting, he reported that with the windfall money for roads from the EDP Renewables road compensation funds, that may be able to happen, “sooner than anticipated.”

With the counties planning to spend the EDP funds they received through the road compensation agreement on county roads in South Dundas, Locke explained that the funds could go towards the road upgrades necessary for the download to take place.

“We have welcomed two new members on to our board,” said Sandra Whitworth of the St. Lawrence Acoustic Stage, “and we are delighted that Anna and Eric have joined us.” Eric Pietersma and Anna Boisvenue have joined the three current SLAS board members, as the outstanding 2015 season at the Stage continues. “Anna has a background in accounting and Eric has legal expertise and so they expand the skill set on the board in a range of important areas. We started a planning process a year-and-a-half ago to try to begin to move from  an operational board to a more properly governance board,” Whitworth said. With artists like the Young Novelists, Harry Manx, Chick Gamine and Madison Violet coming to the Stage this winter and spring, the volunteer members of the board are hard-working and clearly dedicated to bringing great music to South Dundas. Some of the musicians who perform at the Stage have also led workshops with elementary children at the Akwasasne Mohawk School. One of the SLAS board’s long term goals is to make such outstanding workshops in many types of music available to other students in the South Dundas area.
