The Chaffey's Lock Heritage Society a compilation of heritage scenes from the Chaf- fey's Lock area from Opinicon owner Don Jarrett's home movies which included a scene Opinicon guests and their fishing guides headed out to the fishing grounds with the benefit of a tow from a motorized launch. The Chaffey's Lock Heritage Society will be presenting new film footage of the Chaffey's Lock area in the 1930's and 1940's next Sun., Feb. 18 at the stew dinner. The screening, the meal and doors open at 5 p.m. with supper served at 5:30. The new half hour pre- sentation which debuts that evening was created from a donation of 8mm films. The home movies were made by Don Jarrett whose granddaughter Cindy (Cross) Simpson donated the footage to the society. A committee made up of; Lorie Truemner, Sue Warren, Sandy Murray and Neil Patterson have surveyed the films and selected items of interest depicting heritage scenes of the area. Chaffey's grew after 1900 as a prime bass fish- ing area and brought hun- dreds of fishermen to Canada to try their skill at this sport. Jarrett, who was a grad- uate of the Chicago School of Art, moved from the states to live in Chaf- fey's year round where he operated the Opinicon Resort with his mother Mae and later his wife Hazel. "Don was interested in photography. He hired people for publicity films and advertised the Opini- con across North Ameri- ca," said Sue Warren, who discovered she was in some of the films as a young child. Don and Hazel's daughter Janice operated the resort with her hus- band Al Cross There were many trea- sures to be found in the films including scenes of skiffs with guests and their fishing guides being towed by a motor launch, the preparation of a shore dinner and locking through Davis Lock and scenes of the growth of the Opinicon. Some other scenes of interest include cutting ice on local lakes, plowing the road with horses and cut- ting wood. Jarrett's filming wasn't just around Chaffey's Lock. Horse racing on the Upper Rideau at Westport and scenes of the British Commonwealth Air Train- ing program at the Gananoque Airport are also included. "When the lights are turned down and the film starts, it will be as though you are projected back 90 years with many of the audience seeing ancestors that they never met," said Neil Patterson.
