hile the construction site in the former parking lot of Sharbot Lake High School still looks more like a construction site than an almost completed building, school board officials remain confident that construction will be completed in just over month and that the school will be fully operational by early November. “We will be releasing more detailed information later this week,” said Jane Douglas of the Limestone Board’s Communications Department. “But there has been no change in the projection that we made back in late June. The construction is coming along well.” On June 7, the board said they were planning to have all students in the new building by January of 2014 “at the latest”. On June 27, however, the following was released: “Right now, we expect the construction to be completed by the end of September. The month of October would be used to ensure that the school is cleaned, all technology is installed and new furniture is in place. We would then expect to move students into the new school in November.” In the interim, Granite Ridge Education Centre – in an institutional sense – is opening on September 3 when the 2013 - 14 school year gets underway. The Grades 7 – 12 Granite Ridge students will be housed in the still intact Sharbot Lake High School building and Kindergarten to grade 6 students at the former Sharbot Lake Public School building, which is being outfitted with portable classrooms for the transition period. Tours and information sessions for students, parents, and community members at the two temporary sites are set for Monday, August 26. The move in to the new school will be staggered, with the grades 7 to 12 students making the transition first, and the kindergarten to grade 6 students following along later. The outdoor yard for the primary grade students cannot be completed until the old building comes down. Although there are certain to be complications around moving from one building to another on the same site and then demolishing the first building, the board is expressing confidence that the move can be made smoothly. “Plans are well underway now to ensure the necessary resources are in place for an efficient and effective move,” said Jane Douglas at the board office. Questions have been raised about the board’s decision to close Hinchinbrooke Public School before the new school was ready, and the decision to house the Kindergarten to grade 6 students at the Sharbot Lake Public School site during the transition period, rather than at the more spacious Hinchinbrooke school in Parham. Answers to those two questions are included in the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of a release put out by Granite Ridge Education Centre’s (GREC) Principal Heather Highet. “The closing of two schools and opening of the new school resulted in staff reassignments that ripple though schools throughout the board, so it was not viable to keep the existing administrative structure in place at schools that would only remain open for a fraction of the new year.” Choosing Sharbot Lake Public School over Hinchinbrooke for the interim was done to accommodate bussing concerns, according to Highet. “While Hinchinbrooke has a fully functional gym and a large flat playground area as opposed to Sharbot Lake Public, bussing is a major issue. Tri-Board Transportation has indicated that bus providers would not have enough buses to transport Hinchinbrooke because a double-run would be required … the additional bussing costs to redirect students to Hinchinbrooke would be more than $100,000 per month which has not been budgeted for this coming year,” wrote Highet.

They came together at Oso beach in Sharbot Lake following a great day for fishers of all ages. Participants came from as far away as Quebec, Oshawa, Cobourg, Toronto and Ottawa to fish on five area lakes. The event, which was promoted by Ashley Rae “the face of fishing in Eastern Ontario”, was the brainchild of LOLTA’s general manager Rachelle Hardesty. Both were present for
O
the wrap up at the beach where Rae handed out cash prizes to the first, second and third place finishers on each of the five lakes, which included Sharbot, Big Gull, Long, Kashwakamak and Loughborough. Wayne Sharrock of Roblin took home the $500 first place prize for his 4.96 lb. largemouth bass, which he caught on Sharbot Lake with the help of his fishing partner Dave Lockeridge of Odessa. “He (Dave) knew Sharbot Lake better than I did so basically he told me where to go and I ended up catching the winner at 1:30PM with a flip and gig,” Wayne said after collecting his $500 cheque. Over $20,000 in prizes were given out, the largest being a 14 foot Lund boat with a 9.9 HP motor. Every angler had a chance to win the boat and the many other lavish prizes that were donated by local businesses, LOLTA members, and Fish TV. Hardesty said she was extremely pleased with the firsttime event. “It was a fabulous day and it’s been so successful for a first-year event. Our purpose was to promote fishing in the area and with “5000 lakes/5000 adventures” as our motto, we really wanted to showcase the fact that people can paddle here in the Land O’Lakes region on a different lake - every single day of the year - for 13 years... which is something that is really and truly amazing. I truly believe that we here in the Land O’Lakes have some of the best fishing in southern Ontario and we’ve had nothing but positive feedback.” The event also attracted a number of volunteers from the area, many of whom worked at the weigh stations. Karen McGregor, coordinator of the St. Lawrence College Employment Centre in Sharbot Lake, volunteered along with youth from the Blossoms Pre-Construction program that is currently running at the centre. The group weighed in fish at the government dock in Sharbot Lake from 6:30AM until 4:00PM. Tournament participants ended the day with a lavish BBQ chicken dinner at the beach, which was prepared by Sharbot Lake’s own Seed to Sausage. Hardesty said that the event will definitely become an annual event. “People have already been asking about next year’s event and are wondering when they can sign up.” LOLTA staff will be announcing in the next upcoming weeks the five new lakes for 2014. She said they will include two lakes in the County of Frontenac, two in Lennox and Addington and one in the Municipality of Tweed. “We really want to try to showcase different lakes every year so we will be moving to five new locations for next year’s event.” Hardesty said that word of mouth will help spread the news that people are “Hooking Em’ and Hooking Em’ Big in the Land O’Lakes.”
The future home of the Granite Ridge Gryphons. Hopes remain high that construction will be complete in 5 weeks time.

RECYCLING COLLECTION SCHEDULE CHANGE Effective September 1, 2013 the recycling collection schedule will change for some South Frontenac residents. The change involves the alternating schedule in which there will be two consecutive ‘Yellow – Paper etc.’ weeks. The August schedule for the ‘Central’ side of the Recycling calendar ends on a ‘Yellow’ week and then the new September schedule begins on a ‘Yellow’ week as well. This change will simplify and make the recycling schedule more efficient for our residents. So, as of September 1st all South Frontenac residents will be on the same schedule and this should eliminate any confusion residents may have about which side of the calendar they should be viewing. The new 2013-2014 Recycling Calendar is viewable on our website and also can be picked up at our Public Works office at 2490 Keeley Rd during business hours.
Letters to the editor Re: North Frontenac Dark Skies Preserve
I
would like to extend my greatest gratitude to North Frontenac Council and especially Betty Hunter, John Inglis and Mayor Bud Clayton along with the Economic Development Task Force, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, and local astronomers for their efforts in obtaining the most prestigious award of becoming the first municipality in Canada designated as a Dark Skies Preserve. Along with this designation came a Dark Skies Viewing Area on Road 506 adjacent to the Heli-pad. This area is absolutely most perfect for viewing meteor showers, the full moon, the Milky Way and many constellations on a moonless clear night. Since most properties have a lot of trees around on hills - this spot is perfect! There are washrooms,
an electrical box, picnic tables and a good solid cement pad to set up telescopes. It is a wonderful area for hosting Star parties. One website for finding out what's up in the sky tonight is: www.thenightskyguy.com, and for the International Space Station, fly over times and dates are posted at www. heavens-above.com The best thing is that the monies came from Federal Gas Tax monies for eco-tourism. Many campers, cottagers and year-round dwellers who have a love of astronomy welcome this new addition to our municipality - which will also bring more dollars to our area as the word gets spread around.

Re: state of the roads
M
y name is Randy Hook, and I have lived in the community of Sydenham for 57 of my 59 years. I have been confined to a wheelchair since birth with cerebral palsy. Anyone reading this who attended SHS in the late 60s to early 70s will probably remember me as a fellow in the wheelchair who sat in the halls during spares. Having lived in the country all my life I had no desire to move to the city; however the only thing that would’ve made me consider such a move was the lack of transportation available to those of us with physical challenges in the country. But thanks to Deb Barkley and her wonderful new service those of us with physical limitations now have an escape and a chance to go to the city for appointments or just a day out on the town at very reasonable rates. I availed myself of Deb’s services for the first time recently and I must say she is an absolute joy to spend time with very understanding never rushes the client she is a very patient understanding individual. Again Debbie thank you so much for your wonderful service enjoyable conversation and pleasant company I look forward to our next voyage and many more in the years to come. Randy Hook, Sydenham

n reading the article about the state of the toilets at the Sharbot Lake beach, Mr. Neven was asked about the state of the public toilets and he used an analogy of driving a race car down a dirt road. I’ve got a better analogy for you, Mr. Neven & Mayor Gutowski, more like driving a regular car on the road between Henderson & Harlowe! As much as I like seeing improvement in the area, I would like to draw the attention of the mayor & councillors to a bigger concern, the state of our roads! I applaud the efforts of our road crews, but how much cold mix to fill pot holes can one road stand? I can remember when the road was re-hard topped, over 20 years ago. I remember, since I was working for Kennebec Township at the time, and it was meant as temporary fix. Some 20 years later the road between Henderson & Harlowe is basically unsafe to drive! I also ride a motorcycle, & there is no way I will ever take my bike across that mess again. It’s bad enough driving it during the day, try it at night when you cannot see the pot holes, you can definitely feel them especially after when they have had another round of cold patch! I have also been thinking of starting a petition to have Henderson Road re-named to Scatter-Patch Road. It would definitely define the state of the road. I also want to encourage anyone who drives the road on a regular basis, to start hanging their replacement parts such as ball joints, tires etc. from the trees like Christmas ornaments. Maybe then our elected municipal officials take the hint it’s time to fix the mess! Tim Trickey, taxpayer

Did the car drive itself into the ditch? Sharbot Lake Criminal Court, August 19 by Jeff Green SINCE 1970
T
here is no doubt that Zachary Klima, 22, was intoxicated on December 8, 2012, when the car that he owned rolled into a ditch on Road 38 as a police car was following the vehicle from a distance. He blew 120 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood on two breath tests after the accident, and 80 mg is the legal limit for drivers in Ontario. But even though no compelling evidence to the contrary was presented, the crown was unable to prove during a three-hour trial in Sharbot Lake Criminal Court on Monday that Mr. Klima was driving the car at the time of the accident. By the time OPP Constable Villeneuve arrived on the accident scene, both Klima and Jacob Hickey were out of the vehicle. Mr. Hickey was fleeing into a roadside swamp, and Hickey was closer to the vehicle. Constable Villeneuve’s notes say that Klima was “attempting to run”. In his testimony Constable Villeneuve said that he ordered Klima to come towards him. Villeneuve also said that as Klima was approaching, Klima said, “I was driving”. However because the chronology of events as presented in Villeneuve’s testimony was not sufficient and Klima himself denied making the statement, it was ruled in-admissable. The Crown also failed, during the testimony of Constable Lori Lovinowich, the second officer on the scene, who also acted as the breath technologist back at the detachment, to prove that Mr. Klima had admitted he was the driver. In fact, during the cross examination of Lovinowich by Defence Council Ralph Lee of Carleton Place, Lee began to ask Lovinowich about statements made by Klima back at the detachment. “Where are you going with this line of questioning?” Judge Wright asked Lee, “Is this in your client’s interest?”
Letter to the editor Conservation and renewables cheaper than nuclear
C
arol Hillier complains (Letter to the Editor, August 15) that electricity generated by solar power will cost her money. She does not seem to know that, in the future, the price of electricity will go up because Ontario's aging nuclear reactors will have to be replaced or refurbished. If they are replaced by conservation and renewables like solar and wind power, it will be cheaper than new nuclear reactors which are going up in price while renewables are going down. Ontario has to start the replacement process now since Ms. Hillier would complain more if she had no electricity rather than more expensive electricity. The bottom line is that electricity prices are going up no matter what theDavid source and Ms. Hillier and her namesake J. Orser Randy are not making a useful contribution owner/operator to what should be an intelligent public discussion of this important issue by continually Orser Farm and deliberately trying to mislead the public bySeptic claiming that renewable energy is the Tank Pump ing only reason1059848 for higher electricity prices in the Ontario Inc future.

“I think it is,” Lee said. “No,” said Judge Wright, “let’s move on.” Lee ended his questioning of Lovinowich at that point. After a short break the Crown was to put Jacob Hickey on the stand, but instead said it was closing its case. As Klima’s alleged roadside confession had been ruled inadmissible and no other proof was offered that he had been the driver, the case was dismissed immediately by the judge. Mr. Klima then pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of marijuana, which was found in his pocket at the time of his arrest on December 8. He received a $100 fine. Conditional sentence for Medical Centre Break and Enter Elliott Upland, 52, had the benefit of a pre-sentence report after pleading guilty two months ago to a charge of break and enter after he broke in and stole pills from the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team dispensary. The pre-sentence report talked about some of Mr. Upland’s difficult life circumstances and of his standing in the local community. A supportive letter from Dr. Bell of the Family Health Team was also appended. This all led the defence to ask that a conditional sentence be granted, which Upland can serve in the community. For its part, the Crown said that the presentence report also indicated that Mr Upland is addicted to drugs, and given the fact that he had past convictions and a spotty record with probation, he should serve his time in a prison. Judge Wright, noting that the past convictions are dated, opted for a 6-month conditional sentence, including a 7 pm to 7 am curfew and 50 hours of community service. 15 days for lost 26 hours – Edward St. Pierre, 40, received a 15-day sentence for failing to comply with terms of probation. After a previous conviction, Mr. St. Pierre was ordered to complete 30 hours of community service. But he only worked 4 hours at the Northern Connections Learning Centre and came to court prepared to serve jail time instead. “I just want to do my time and get this over with,” he said. “You could have avoided this entirely by just doing the hours,” said Judge Wright in passing sentence. First appearance – Ronald McKay, 66, charged with impaired driving and driving with blood alcohol over 80 mg/100 ml of blood, will return on September 16.

· Congratulations to Rev. Eric and Phyllis Barr, who celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary last weekend with an open house, hosted by the Arden United Church. Photographs were displayed, along with many tributes from various levels of government. Tea and coffee was served in beautiful cups and saucers; there was an abundance of finger foods, and the Glee Club serenaded the guests with many favorites. After the open house, there was a well-attended, sit down dinner. Those present were entertained by Phyllis and Eric’s grandchildren, who provided everyone with a 50-year synopsis of the bride and groom’s glorious times together.

We all know that smoking is bad for our health. It has been shown that middle-aged men who smoke show a more rapid decline in brain function as they age compared to men who don’t smoke. This is another active step male smokers can make to reduce their risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Quit smoking. If you have children, it’s good to have a digital thermometer in the house to take their temperature when they are ill. The advantage of the new digital units is that they can record temperatures in the mouth, armpit or rectum in under a minute. The old mercury-filled thermometers are no longer recommended. The ear thermometers are not recommended for newborns. It’s always interesting when research is done on a certain food and its effect on disease. Some good studies have shown a reduction in the risk of getting Parkinson’s Disease when people eat peppers 2-4 times a week. No one is quite sure why but making them part of your diet can’t hurt. Vision problems in the elderly can affect how medications are taken. Tell your pharmacist if you have problems reading the prescription labels on your medication. There are ways of making the printing larger or dispensing the medications in special packaging. We have many ways of helping you to take your medications safely and accurately. Talk to our pharmacists for advice.

County Trivia: Did you know?
T
he Village of Plevna bore the name Buckshot until 1 November 1877. The Post Office Department accepted the name Buckshot on a temporary basis. Residents came up with various names and could not agree on any of them. Buckshot was in a state of bloodless civil war when the Post Office Department, in 1877, issued the ultimatum -- a new name or the department would name it. Sam Barton Sr. suggested the name Plevna (now Pleven) in Bulgaria. The name was neutral and could be accepted by all without losing face.

Lions clubs have staying power in rural communities E
veryone knows the stresses that are being felt by small rural communities in the current climate of dwindling opportunities and an ageing population. Numbers of local institutions and churches have been diminished or have disappeared altogether over the past two decades, but there are a number of bright spots on the horizon as well. Amidst all this change, Lions clubs have remained viable. In our readership area alone, there are four Lions clubs that continue to raise funds for community causes, and provide volunteer labour for projects, and provide their own services as well. To mark the endurance of the Sydenham, Verona, Sharbot Lake & District, and Land O’Lakes Lions clubs we will profile each of them in the coming weeks. We start this week with the Sharbot Lake and District Lions The club is 62 years old, having been founded in 1951. The current club secretary, Bill Pyle, has been a Lion for nine years. “I came to this community when I retired and I had some time available and I wanted to get involved. My neighbour recommended I attend a Lions meeting, and here I am now. What I like about the Lions is that we have only one main purpose, to serve the community in any way we can. And we have a lot of fun doing it.” While all Lions clubs are affiliated with Lions International, the majority of their efforts are focused on local projects that are chosen by the individual clubs, as well as regional projects they work on with neighbouring clubs. One other thing that was clearly pointed out by both Bill Pyle and Sharbot Lake Lions President Linda Zwier, “All the money raised
Sharbot Lake & District Lions at their recent blood donor clinic by the club is donated to the community. We have no salaried employees; we are all volunteers, and anything we do for our own benefit is funded directly by us. None of the money people donate to us is kept by us. It is all put to use.” And there are a lot of uses that money is put to in Central and North Frontenac. Either through financial or volunteer support, or both, the Sharbot Lake & District Lions are involved in the following activities: Santa Claus Parade and visit with Santa at Oso Hall; vision and hearing screening in local schools; eyeglass recycling and collection at the RBC branch; Adopt-a-Highway cleanups in May and October; Central Frontenac summer swim program; Sharbot Lake seniors' summer BBQ; Sharbot Lake beach bandshell, covered picnic shelter, and playground equipment; bursary awards at Sharbot Lake High School; Canadian Blood Services blood donor clinic; Salvation Army Christ-
mas hampers; Relay For Life; Seniors’ Night at Sharbot Lake High School; Canada Day parades; Villages Beautiful Festival of Trees; North Frontenac Food Bank; Frontenac Heritage Festival; Annual Hinchinbrooke School Student Christmas Dinner; Medic Alert – No Child Without program; and CNIB – low vision program. The club's motto is “We serve” “We are always looking for volunteers,” said Bill Pyle. “We can use helpers of one

time events or on an ongoing basis, and of course we are always on the lookout for new members.” According the Linda Zwier, the Sharbot Lake & District club has been able to maintain a healthy number of members, but the demographics are of concern. “We understand how hard it is for workingaged people to find time to join the Lions, but it is a concern that most of our members are retired. That is a real challenge that we will have to address.” Unlike other Lions clubs in the region, the Sharbot Lake Lions do not own either a hall or a clubhouse. “There are township halls available in Central and North Frontenac so there is no need for us to have one,” said Bill Pyle, “and we have a great arrangement with the Legion Hall where we hold our meetings.” Sharbot Lake & District Lions' fundraisers include: community breakfasts; canteen at the Snow Drags; Easter bunny sales; Petro-Canada Gas-o-rama; Lions and Masons Canada Day BBQ; Petro-Can gas card draw; bottle drive; fruitcakes and cookie sales at Christmas time, and the Country Jamboree.

Township of Central Frontenac NOTICE OF A PUBLIC WORKSHOP LAKE DEVELOPMENT The Township of Central Frontenac would like to invite all property owners on Eagle Lake, Crow Lake, Silver Lake and the west basin of Sharbot Lake to a workshop on lake development. The workshop will be held on Saturday, September 7th 2013, at 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the Soldier’s Memorial Hall at 1107 Garrett Street in Sharbot Lake. The intent of the workshop is to assist the public in understanding the development opportunities and constraints when building on highly sensitive lakes within the Township. The format of the workshop will consist of an opening presentation that provides an overview of the official plan policies and zoning regulations affecting development on highly sensitive lakes. Participants will then be divided into a series of breakout groups. Each group will each be given a case study to review. Case studies are based on typical waterfront development scenarios that address such questions as: Can I sever a lot? Can I build on a vacant lot? Can I demolish and rebuild? What setbacks apply? What planning and other approvals apply? What is site plan control and how does it apply? When do I need a minor variance or a zoning by-law amendment? What studies are required to support an application?

Foodies from near and far tuck in at Habitat for Humanity fundraiser by Julie Druker ne local guest, who paid the $125 ticket price for a fundraiser to assist with the funding of the first Habitat for Humanity build in Central Frontenac, said that the fundraiser dinner that took place at Seed to Sausage on August 16 offered up some of the best food she has ever tasted. The fundraiser was the brain child of Mike McKenzie, coowner of Seed to Sausage in Sharbot Lake. He felt that the fundraiser would offer him a great opportunity to practice the “ethical” side of his business. “Members of the Habitat team approached me asking for a donation for the build in Tichborne and since I did not have the money to donate I instead offered up the idea of holding a fundraising event here. I do know a lot of fantastic people in the food and beverage business who I knew could bring in a lot of people in for a fundraiser event, ” McKenzie said. The fundraiser took place in the Seed to Sausage Quonset space and attracted over 100 diners, many of whom werebused in from Ottawa and Kingston. It showcased entrees prepared by six well known chefs, some of the hottest names in Ottawa and Kingston area restaurants. Derek MacGregor of Le Chien Noir served up a grilled beef heart appetizer; Peter Robblee of Juniper a feta, melon salad course; Michael Blackie of Next prepared a hickory smoked black cod; Clifford Lyness of Brookstreet, a pan roasted smoked duck; Michael Moffat of Beckta Dining and Wine a wild mushroom dish, and Michael Holland of Atelier a very fancy cheesecake with blueberry compote accompanied by numerous other sweet treats. Jeff Taylor, along with staff from Harvey and Verns Old

The diners who were bused in from Ottawa and Kingston also enjoyed a cheese tasting on the drive up to Sharbot Lake, courtesy of Pan Chancho and Serious Cheese, and were also introduced to Habitat for Humanity and specifically the Tichborne build. Once at Seed to Sausage guests enjoyed lavish chaceuterie appetizers courtesy of Seed to Sausage, an art show courtesy of Cube Mike McKenzie of Seed to Sausage with Habitat for Humanity Chair Ron Darling gallery and artist Russell Yuristy, plus live music courtesy of the Evening Hymns of both for initiating and organizing the event for the local build.

The Trillium Sprint Racing Championships 2013 Canoe and Kayak regatta was held at the Rideau Canoe Club in Ottawa on Aug 18. Athletes Rhiannon Murphy, Harmonie Ruttan, George Willes, Ian Ramzy and Sebastien L’Abbe all qualified to compete in the U13 all-Ontario competitions.

Ramzy placed 4th in U13 K1 100m. Both, Ruttan and Murphy, and Willes and L’Abbe did their personal best in their K2 500 m event. The club attributes its success this year to a recent restructuring. In 2013, Sydenham Lake Canoe Club Board of Directors decided to refocus its programs to put more of an emphasis on the long term athletic development (LTAD) of its sprint paddlers. This season, the club replaced its five-yearold day camp program with Canoe Kids paddling lessons in order to put more focus on progressive skill development so that when paddlers reach the level where they decide to compete, they have the skills to do it. The club did not expect such immediate success in its competitive paddlers, but the athletes now understand that they need to focus on their long term success rather than the immediate goal of winning a medal, so the coaches are taking the time to help them improve their skill development. Since most of the five competitive athletes have been paddling for over four years, their long term commitment to the sport is already beginning to pay off. “These paddlers understand now what is involved in order to succeed in a sport”, says coach Jack Fenlong, “They know that they won’t achieve their personal best unless they get out on the water and commit themselves to a regular summer and off-season cross training schedule. Judging from how much our new paddlers enjoyed the Canoe Kids program this summer, we are hoping that we will have more young paddlers coming up the rank, who would like to try paddling in the regatta too next summer.”
Young fiddler is fans’ favorite Jessica Wedden, 11, unanimously won the Fan Favourite Award for her performance at the Enterprise Talent Competition, which was sponsored by the Newburgh Camden Lions. Her award was presented to her at the Centreville Jamboree on August 11.

Mixing blue with green for healthy child development by Susan Ramsay, Early Literacy Specialist for HastingsFrontenac-Lennox & Addington; sramsay@klandskills.ca ackson’s mom hands her son an empty, washed yogurt container. “Put this in the blue box.” Jackson likes to help and, at two-and-a-half, he is already familiar with his family’s practice of recycling.

Cilantro—Love it or Hate it by Dale Odorizzi, Lanark County Master Gardeners
C
ilantro is a wonderful herb to grow because you actually get two herbs in one. When it is young and fresh, you have delicate lacy leaves with a pungent flavor. As it matures and goes to seed you have Coriander. Although the two herbs come from the same plant, their flavors are very different and one cannot be substituted for the other. Coriander is also known as cilantro or Chinese Parsley. It is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. Coriander is native to regions spanning from Southern Europe and North Africa and southwestern Asia. Its botanical name is Coriandrum sativum. (Note: “Culantro” is an herb related to cilantro that is widely used in dishes throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Far East). Cilantro is easily confused with flat-leaf parsley in appearance, so be sure to sniff carefully. Look for a bunch with unwilted leaves in medium green. It is found fresh year round in most markets. As soon as you arrive home with fresh cilantro, place the stems (with roots intact if attached) in a glass of water and cover the top loosely with a plastic bag. Refrigerate. Snip off leaves as you need them and re-cover. The water should be changed every 2 to 3 days. Do not wash the herb until you are ready to use it since excess moisture will turn the leaves to green slime during storage. Depending
OPP reportS On August 14, just prior to 2 p.m. a break and enter occurred to a residence on Flinton Road just north of Robinson Road in the Municipality of Tweed. Entry was gained through a bedroom window where a quantity of jewelry and cash were stolen. The homeowner arrived home to find an adult female in her 20s and a male youth between 8 to 10 years old in her back yard. The homeowner had a brief discussion with the female who said she was staying in a trailer up the road and that she was just out for a walk. The female is described as average height, slim build, with reddish brown curly hair, wearing a light blue skirt, pink tank top and sandals. The boy is described as having light to medium brown hair, wearing a blue graphic t-shirt, pants and a ball cap. Both parties left on foot in an unknown direction. The investigation revealed that two other residences on Flinton Road and Deer Rock Lake Road in Addington Highlands Township were also broken into. Anyone with information please call the OPP at 1-888310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
on its treatment at the market, it should last up to a week in the refrigerator. It goes well with: avocado, chicken, fish, ice cream, lamb, lentils, mayonnaise, peppers, pork, rice, salads, salsas, shellfish, tomatoes and yogurt. Both cilantro and coriander are used extensively in Mexican, Greek and South East Asian cooking. If you have a dish of Pad Thai, the parsley-like sprig on top is most likely cilantro. While there are parts of the world where no meal is complete without it, cilantro tends to generate great love or great hate. In fact cilantro is the only herb I know that has its own “I hate Cilantro” anti-fan club. Tests are being done to see if there is some genetic mutation that makes people hate the delicious herb. To freeze cilantro, place a small amount of dry cilantro leaves in a single layer on a cookie sheet. When frozen, gather into a zip-top bag, and return to the freezer immediately. Use within 6 months. Do not thaw before using. Cilantro may also be dried in the same manner as parsley, however, its flavor will be greatly diminished. Drying is neither recommended nor worth your time. Dried cilantro is available in most markets, should you have the need. The seeds of the cilantro plant are known as coriander. As with any spice, coriander seeds should be kept in a sealed container away from light and heat. The flavor will begin to diminish after about 6 months. Use within one year. Cilantro grows easily and quickly in our gardens. It can be planted repeatedly throughout the growing season so that you can always have fresh tasty cilantro but be sure to let one or two plants go to seed so that you can have the seeds all winter long to flavor your Mexican and Asian dishes.

physicians explain that children are especially susceptible to chemicals and pollutants because children’s organs and tissues are growing. Their physiological systems, designed to protect them from sickness, are still immature, and children’s need to explore their world through their senses increase the likelihood that harmful substances will seep into their bodies through their skin, nose, and mouth. As parents, caregivers and educators, it’s sometimes difficult to know how to care for our children through caring for the earth. The solution may, in part, be twofold – continually seeking knowledge about environmentally-friendly practices at home, and intentionally nurturing respect and love for the environment within our children. The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment is only one source of valuable information about the environment. Information through their website can be accessed at www.cape.ca. The Canadian Child Care Federation also offers quick information on a variety of topics of interest to parents. Their resource Clean Air for Children draws attention to the prevalence of toxins in children’s lives through our use of cleaners, scented candles, air fresheners, and certain art supplies. www.cccf-fcsge.ca/parents Ideas for nurturing respect and love for the environment within children are also included among the wide range of topics found on the Canadian Child Care Federation website. “Growing a ‘Green’ Garden” and “Exploring Nature with Children” promotes the idea of adults becoming role models to children by adopting a childlike sense of wonder about bugs, rocks, worms, nests, and yes, even dandelions. They emphasize that being a science expert to your child is not nearly as important as affirming their curiosity about the natural world. In wonder-filled activities we do together, children also learn new vocabulary, comprehension and observation skills –skills that are essential to literacy learning. When we help children read seed packages or feeding instructions for birdfeeders, or seek information about nature through magazines, books, or the internet we support their reading skills too. Jackson’s emerging reading skills are already evident. He recognizes the three-arrowed recycling symbol and understands its meaning. Jackson’s mom doesn’t really like to pick up worms, and she is not always pleased with the yellow dandelions on her lawn, but she knows these things excite Jackson. She joins Jackson’s sense of wonder about the recycling truck, worms and dandelions. And when Jackson snuggles in for his bedtime story she reads him “In the Garden” by Peggy Collins. It’s about a little boy just like Jackson who loves the outdoors.

Maschke Funeral Home IN MEMORIAM
Thibault In memory of my husband Vurden Thibault, who passed away August 26, 2008. I am sending a dove to Heaven, With a parcel in its wings, Be careful when you open it, It’s full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses Wrapped up in a million hugs, To say how much I miss you, And to send you all my love. I’ll hold you close within my heart And there you will remain, To walk with me throughout my life Until we meet again. Remembered by wife Violet & families

KFPL searching for community "models" T
he Kingston Frontenac Public Library is launching their “My KFPL” campaign in September. Members of the community are invited to take part in photo shoots, modeling for images that will be used in the library's publicity. "People of all ages visit our libraries every day," says Kimberly Sutherland Mills, Manager of Programming and Outreach. “When we create an event flyer or poster, or share a story on our website, we'd like the people that you see in the images to be your friends and neighbours rather than standard clip-art models." People interested in taking part can drop in with a friend or their family or on their own. They'll be asked to strike a pose that shows what they love to do at KFPL – read a good book, use the computer, flip through the DVDs – and to share a comment about why they love the library. Photos and quotations will be shared in KFPL branches and online throughout October, and may be used in future library publicity. Photo shoots are scheduled on Friday, September 20 at the Sydenham branch, 10 am – 12 noon; and at the Sharbot Lake branch, 2 - 4 pm. Participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Contact Kimberly Sutherland Mills: kmills@ kfpl.ca or 613-549-8888, ext. 1520.

Article submitted by the Lanark County Master Gardeners ill is a herb used for flavouring. It belongs to the Apiaceae family (formerly Umelliferae) as does fennel, queen ann’s lace (carrot), and parsnip. Its botanical name is Anethum gravcolens - not surprising, since the species name graveolens means a rank smell of intense and heavy odour. The name “dill” comes from the Old English word, dile. It is thought to have originated from a Norse or Anglo-saxon word dylle, meaning to soothe or lull. Dill has the carminative property of relieving gas. There is a variety called “Sari” available from some seed companies, which is shorter growing. It is a biennial but here it would probably grow as an annual. It is native to Europe, not surprisingly Germany, Poland (where it is used in polski orgorki) and most of the

Baltics. It is used to flavor many foods; it is one of the main flavourings for fish (gravlax), and is used in borscht and pickles. Dill leaves are best used fresh, as they lose their flavor rapidly if dried. Dill seed is used as a spice. Dill oil is extracted from the leaves stems and seeds and used in manufacturing soaps. Dill is the main ingredient for flavourings in dill pickles - cucumbers preserved in salty brine and /or vinegar. Dill leaves are used in salads, especially cucumber – but use sparingly! Dill seed is added to heavy dishes, especially those made of cabbage and fat meats, as a gas-relieving medication. In Canada dill is a favourite herb to accompany poached salmon. Dill was used in many traditional medicines for jaundice, headache, boils, lack of appetite, stomach problems. It is also soporific or sleep-inducing. Dill seed can also be used to prepare a herbal tea. Dill requires warm to hot summers and high sunlight with rich, well-drained soil. Seeds are viable up to 10 years. When used as a companion plant, dill draws in many beneficial insects. Fittingly it makes a good companion plant for cucumbers, but a poor one for carrots and tomatoes.

Last chance for Algae Bloom and Aquatic Vegetation Survey
T
he Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) wants to know if you are seeing more algae blooms and aquatic plants in our local lakes and rivers. In response to what seems to be an increasing number of concerns about algae and aquatic plants, a survey has been created to help better understand the current perception of their growth. But the survey won’t be around forever! Comments are being accepted until August
31 — so now is the time to get involved. “Current results show 82% of respondents have noticed an increase of algae on their water body in recent years,” says Kaitlin Brady, RVCA Resource Technician. “If you’ve noticed changes — or not — we want to hear from you. We need all sides of the story so we can get a better idea of local conditions and concerns.” The survey should take 15-20 minutes
Open Mon-Thurs, Sat: 8am-8pm Fri: 8am-9pm Sun: Grocery 9am-6pm; LCBO 11am-6pm
and can be completed at www.surveymonkey.com/s/plants-algae or visit the RVCA website (www.rvca.ca) for details. Algae and aquatic plants play an important ecological role in lakes and rivers and they should be present. They are the first, vital links in a natural food chain that all other water creatures rely on including insects, frogs, minnows, small fish right up to top predators like bass, muskie and lake trout.

Under normal circumstances, they also produce large amounts of oxygen helping to keep the water quality in a healthy state. So they are very important. But too much of a good thing can be very bad! During warm weather, populations of algae and aquatic vegetation can grow quickly to form large masses. As the mass grows and expands, algae and plants at the lower levels die off and decompose over large areas. This process uses up much of the oxygen in the water and degrades the entire aquatic ecosystem.

Aftermath - Neat games for two people This column by retired mathematician and seasonal Maberly resident, Edward Barbeau, is for your mathematical amusement. Its author is very happy to correspond with readers about mathematical matters, and hopes that the column will turn out to be a dialogue with readers of the Frontenac News. His email address is barbeau@math. utoronto.ca.
tinues, with each player joining with the appropriate colour a pair of dots not previously joined. Since there are 15 pairs of dots, the game can proceed for at most 15 moves. However, the game stops as soon as there are three dots, each pair of which is joined by a line of the same colour. The owner of that colour is declared the winner. If the game goes the whole 15 moves without such a triple of dots, then the game ends in a draw. However, it turns out that a draw is impossible. Suppose that we get to the fifteenth move and no winning triple of points has been found. When the fifteenth move has been taken, each dot is joined to the five other dots by a line. Let A be one of the dots. Since there are five lines emanating from A and two colours, three of the lines must have the same colour, say red. Let us suppose that A is joined to B, C, D by red lines. If any two of B, C, D are joined by a red line, then we have three dots (A and these two) joined by red lines. Otherwise, every pair of B, C, D must be joined by a green line and we have a winner. The second game, invented by the English mathematical genius, John Conway, is SPROUTS. Start with at least three distinct dots on a page. Again, there are two players
T
here a many fine games of strategy that two people can play. Some, like checkers and chess, have been around for centuries; others, like SETS have been recently invented. Many of these require some kind of equipment, a deck of cards or a playing board and pieces. However, there is a lot of amusement to be had with a pencil and paper. To play the game of SIM, on a plain sheet of paper, place six distinct dots. Equip the two players with pencils of different colours, say red and green. The players play alternately and we will suppose that the player with the red pencil makes the first move. He joins any pairs of dots with a red line. The second player then joins another pair of dots with a green line. She could use one of the dots used by the red player, or could pick two completely different dots. The play con-

21st Inroads Studio Tour next weekend by Jeff Green rtists and artisans in Frontenac County have created an enduring Labour Day weekend tradition of opening their doors to the public for a show/sale of artwork. This year, 17 artists are showing work in 13 studios that are nestled amid the rocks and waters in the Bobs Lake, Sharbot Lake and Arden areas. Among the highlights this year will be the photographs of Peter Muzik, who has captured the landscape and wildlife around his Bobs Lake property for years in photographs that have been published in numerous publications (including this one). This is the first time that a full selection of his images will be on view. Next door to Peter, Doreen Morey will be back with her unusual Purse-onal Baggage, unique hand-sewn items that make use of a variety of fabrics. Tour mainstays Nick and Annette Hally are nearby. Annette creates jewelry in crystal, silver, copper and gems, and Nick’s renowned ability in marquetry is featured in wooden jewelry boxes, clocks and more. Jewelry is also the order of the day at Laurel Leaf Studio on Eagle Lake Road, where Laurel Minutillo uses met-

On the Long Lake Road, Nancy Hilder is a glass artist who makes platters, bowls, and more, while her husband Brett is a painter specializing in plein-air watercolours – that is - when they are not out chasing sheep on their fabled Central Frontenac farm property, which was the first home in Canada of rare Icelandic sheep. Further up the road on the shores of Sharbot Lake on Shibley Road, wood turner Ken Waller, who is familiar to fans of the Sharbot Lake Farmers market, will have his entire range of bowls, platters, pens, and more on display. Ken will also be hosting Steve and Janet MacIntyre of River Edge Studio, who create fused glass jewellery using laser engraved dichroic glass. Close by is the studio of potter Johanna Jansen. Johanna uses low-fire techniques, including Raku, horsehair raku, Saggar and smoke firing to produce stunning work. Up the Tryon and Bender Roads at the ‘old Bender place’ Martina Field makes original prints that delve into dreams, mythology and the rugged landscape of the region.
