Celebrating the Stinky Rose - Verona Garlic Festival Ontario, though local growers from Kingston, Bath, Verona, Harrowsmith, and Enterprise made up the majority of vendors. The annual event is run by the Verona Lions and has become increasingly popular over the years and as always, numerous growers competed in the Eastern Ontario Garlic Awards at the festival.

He won the second place reserve champion trophy and its $50 prize donated by Local Family Farms in Verona. His selections included varieties of Siberian Fire, Red Russian, Artichoke, Music and two Rocambole varieties. He said his win this year will likely see him return at next year’s festival. Local garlic guru Paul Pospisil, editor of The Garlic News, Canada's only newsletter solely devoted to everything garlic, spoke at the event on the subject of cooking and storing garlic. “I often speak on how to grow garlic and since everyone these days seems to know how to grow it, I decided to speak this year about cooking with garlic because not everyone knows how to eat garlic”. He said that the entire garlic plant is edible including its early spring leaves, which he said, “are delicious in salads, omelets.” He mentioned of course the edible scapes and the bulbs, but also the smaller white roots of the plant, which contain lots of oil and are also very flavorful. Pospisil said this year's growing season was one of the worst. “A late spring robbed the garlic of three weeks of growing time, which resulted overall in smaller, shorter, plants with fewer leaves and generally smaller bulbs.” Then a subsequent cold period with frost also set back the plants, as did the
CF Council supports Elizabeth Street reconstruction - September 8, 2015 by Julie Druker
C
ouncil passed a motion at the regular council meeting supporting the proposed reconstruction of Elizabeth Street in Sharbot Lake as “a priority project” by authorizing staff to submit a letter expressing their interest in the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) in the amount of $2,300,000. The reconstruction project, which was started in 2010, has been dormant for a number of years. The project includes a new storm sewage system as well as other changes that will “improve parking congestion, traffic flow, pedestrian safety as well encouraging economic growth.” By approving the expression of interest, council will be taking responsibility for project costs in excess of $2 million. Speed Limit reductions approved and signage in place Council passed a motion approving a speed limit reduction on Long Lake Road near the public beach where the speed will be reduced from 80km/hour to 60km/hour. An earlier motion approved by council reduced the speed limit on Road 38 near the Granite Ridge Education Centre from 50km/ hour to 40 km/hour and new signage is now in place there. Failed Tax Sale Policy draft review Treasurer J. Michael McGovern fielded questions from council regarding a new RFP process that will enable staff to “put failed tax sale properties out to the public to de-
termine an accurate value and in doing so, put the property back into an active status.” Currently when a tax sale fails, department heads decide whether to either vest or write off part of the taxes and re-list the property. McGovern's report states that while staff have had some success and some failures in writing off the taxes and re-listing a property, they have found that determining an accurate price can be difficult without outside assistance. The new policy aims to “return properties to a state where taxes are collected on a regular basis.” Council supports county's Gap Analysis Study In an effort to address and identify infrastructure and equipment requirements necessary to establish a county-wide communications system, the County of Frontenac in 2013 approved setting aside $25,000 in their 2014 budget for a propagation study for radio communications on behalf of the four lower tier townships. This resulted from concerns raised by the various townships' CAOs, and their fire and public works departments, who all agreed that a more effective and efficient communications system was needed to protect the safety of residents. They identified the way forward with the need for a study analysing the gaps in the communications systems. The four municipalities are aiming to each approve the study and have the issue placed on the county's September agenda.
Council approves Shared IT and GIS Services agreement In April 2015 the Frontenac CAOs prepared and presented a report to their councils of a shared services model of which IT and GIS services were examined. The report states that though Central Frontenac is unique in that it already possesses a qualified and combined IT manager/GIS technician and 911 coordinator, the other townships have either contracted out the services or in the the case of North Frontenac, provided it in house. Currently the CAOs are proposing that the county become the service provider for the four local municipalities at no incremental cost. A shared service model has been developed, with the cost to be shared between the four municipalities. The shared services agreement aims to “see the benefits of a comprehensive management approach to IT and GIS services.” Private E. Badour of the 20th Battalion to be focus of special Remembrance Day Video project Council granted permission to John Stuart, manager of community relations with the Family and Childrens Services of Frontenac Lennox and Addington to film inside Oso hall, where the name of Private E.

As a result, the bounty this year was overall smaller than usual, but that did not seem to affect the sales at this year’s festival, where growers were selling their harvest hand over fist.

Revised Subdivision Proposal Questioned - SF Council
Sept. 8, 2015
by Wilma Kenny
S
peaking on behalf of a number of the residents of Hartington, Michelle Foxton noted that FOTENN Planning’s current proposal for a much smaller development situated within the hamlet of Hartington appeared to be “an unmodified northern portion of the original proposal.” None of the outstanding water concerns had been addressed. Referring to a report/review by McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers, which had been commissioned by the community, Foxton listed seven unresolved issues all relating to questions about water quality and quantity. She asked to see the response from Maroz Engineering (the company that did a peer review of the developer’s hydrogeological report on behalf of the Township), when it becomes available. Mayor Vandewal replied that Council was presently holding back from commenting until they had the Malroz reply. Deputy Mayor McDougall agreed, and complimented Foxton on her community’s work, telling her not to be discouraged. Sleeth said he was dismayed that Council did not seem to be getting good information; Vandewal said “You could hire ten consultants and get ten different opinions.” Foxton commented; “Perhaps there’s a gap between the information that comes in, and how it is interpreted to Council.” Charlie LaFarge reviewed the history of the Hartington area’s land zoning slide from Prime Agricultural in 1997 to its present designation of Rural. He asked “what was the process that led to this change?” He also listed concerns about surface water flooding, citing current problems in the area, and described the proposed subdivision layout as “looking like wartime housing.” Planner Mills then reviewed the comments from the public meeting about the subdivision, held July 7th. He summarized the concerns into four main areas: 1) water quality and quantity; 2) flooding and drainage; 3) effect on farming; 4) lot frontage and aesthetics. He said there were too many lingering questions about the hydrogeology for the report to be forwarded to the County at this time.

ator for Prince Edward Islands; there can be no doubt of that since he saw Duffy all the time for years and years, in Ottawa. Whether he knew explicitly or implicitly where the money to pay Duffy back for the $90,000 repayment came from, there is little doubt that he knew what was going on. What he did was meant to fool the public in order to make an embarrassing situation go away. If Justin Trudeau or Thomas Mulcair end up in a similar circumstance sometime in the future, do any of us think they would not do the same thing? Not really, people and institutions tend to act in their own interest, and politics is made up of people and institutions. The difference is that Trudeau and Mulcair have not yet been in that position and Harper has. There tends to come a time when people stop having faith in the word of their leaders and when that time comes that leader, and that party, end up being tossed out of office, often in an ugly landslide. Given that the polls have not yet shown enough to indicate this is happening among Canadian voters, taken as a whole, Scott Reid's seat is not yet at play. For that to happen, Conservative support nationally would need to hit a free fall, and with the Duffy affair slipping into the background already, that is unlikely to happen. However, and this is based only on very recent polls, there has been a movement from the Conservatives to the Liberals, especially in Ontario. If that solidifies and grows, there may be an argument for strategic voting among the anti-Conservative forces in the new LFK riding to coalesce around Philippe Archambault, but it is too early to think realistically in those terms. (Editor's note – There is an all-candidates meeting, sponsored by the Frontenac News, scheduled for the Sydenham Legion Hall on Wednesday September 30 at 7:00 pm. As well, a meeting is set for Sharbot Lake on Monday, October 5, 7-9pm at Granite Ridge Education Centre, sponsored by: Teacher Federations (ETFO, OECTA, OSSTF), Retired Teachers Of Ontario)

his support for the projects ever since they first surfaced in early March of this year, has been the target of much criticism from the opposition groups, including Paul Isaacs, a Denbigh resident who has launched a public call for the Denbigh ward to secede from Addington Highlands entirely.

them to power? Will one of the other two parties pull ahead and put together their own alternative government? These are all open questions at this point, and in addition it looks as if it will be in Ontario where the break will come. All of the other regions of the country seem to be headed in a clear direction, towards the Liberals in the Maritimes, the NDP in Quebec and BC and the Conservatives on the Prairies. Ontario is not so easy to read, except that the Liberals and NDP are strong in the urban ridings, the Conservatives in the rural ones, and suburban Toronto is a battleground. What does all of this mean in a safe Conservative riding like the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding? Even though the new riding has different boundaries from the riding that has easily elected Scott Reid four times, with numbers reaching easily into the over 50% range over the last two elections, there is some new territory this time around, north Kingston and Mississippi Mills in place of Lennox and Addington, but it is unclear that the new territory changed the prospects this time around. The North Kingston section of the riding has been part of a safe Liberal riding for many, many years, and Liberal candidate Phil Archambault (he is using Phil now to appeal to Anglophone voters) says that he has had a very good reception in that part of the riding. Another wild card is the home-town factor in Perth for John Fenik, who should do better in the town where he is the mayor than other NDP candidates normally do. The hard numbers indicate, however, that it will take some significant moving on a regional, if not a national scale, to turn the local election into anything but an easy return for Scott Reid. The most likely scenario for that to happen is a wholesale turn against Stephen Harper as leader of the country. The Mike Duffy trial has opened up this possibility. Any one who thinks at all about what happened and what was said can only come to one or two obvious conclusions. Stephen Harper certainly knew that Mike Duffy lived in Ottawa when he named him the Sen-

Re: Refugee crisis
Dear Mr. Reid, I beg you to use your influence within the Conservative caucus to ease the sincere desire of Canadians to welcome many more Syrian refugees (10,000 this year, followed by similar numbers in succeeding years). Your government's current commitment is sorely inadequate. Europe, particularly Greece, Hungary, and Germany, should not be bearing this burden. And certainly Syria's Mideast neighbours cannot do more. I hope you have heard Louise Arbour's CBC interview on the subject. The case could not have been put more clearly. Mr. Harper advocates "a more balanced approach". This is not appropriate at this time; nor is it what Canada has often done well. An expanded and expedited immigration response is needed urgently, and before the coming election. Your party may not be in power then, although you personally may be in this riding. It is not too late to make the commitment that is the right thing to do. We, and we are many, are waiting, even while we find our own individual ways to help. Will you take a stand on this issue, or take your leader's line? - Janice Arthur

atherine Duchene makes many valid points in her letter to the editor in the Frontenac News on September 3. Ninety percent of the article I agree with. However when she starts to talk about Status and Non-Status Natives she is playing right into what the Federal Government smiles about. Native divisions. As far as I am concerned you are either Native or not. There is no 1/8th, 1/16th or 100%. If we as Native people allow the Government of Canada dictate to us that blood quantum and status vs non-status is an essential part of being Native, then the Native problem will just die out and the federal government will be done with the Native problem. My grandparents suffered enough by not admitting their ancestry so they could survive in a white world. Myself, I shout it from the tallest mountain - I am Native. Status or Non-Status doesn’t matter. Native blood flows through my veins. Someone asked many years ago how long I have been an Indian. I replied since the day I was born. Catherine, we are either Native or not. It does not matter if we are Status or not. We are Native and when a Native person like you differentiates, then the federal government smiles. - Rick Revelle, Author of I Am Algonquin and Algonquin Spring

nicipalities by the provincial and federal governments, our Council deems it necessary to discuss options to address what they consider to be a spacing issue in the current building they occupy (actually the staff occupies this space…none of our elected officials, including our mayor reside in this building!!). Some of the reasons noted are cramped office conditions, no potable water and no council chambers. Possible options include: Renovate existing building - $511,250; Renovate and expand - $900,000; Build a brand new municipal office - $1.6 M! We have received no real justification for this other than a canvass of the staff's supposed needs. The current building in which they reside is valued at over $1.6 million. How is another $1.6 million building going to measure up? Add on? I respectfully disagree. At the beginning of this year, staff had to be moved to a trailer where they functioned for six months. Although it was inconvenient, they managed! No potable water issue? This has been the case since day one! Moreover, councils continued to approve future builds on this land! When I asked council and mayor at the special meeting if they had received pricing on a filtration system to correct this systemic problem, the answer was that they have not looked into this…why not!? Figures reported out by Council regarding this project are incomplete and therefore very misleading. What about the incurred costs to maintain their current office building when they move? Council is well aware of the current issues surrounding community halls in this township historically claiming it too expensive to maintain these buildings. So why are they even contemplating adding another building into the mix? Here is what many of us took away from our tour of the office: Poor use of space;
offices for single users that could easily accommodate 2 or more people; Archive files take up a huge amount of office space. Get a storage container on site, wire and heat it and move the files there. That newfound space would easily accommodate the mayor!! Council reports that there are five separate consultants' reports but these consultants were specifically asked to consult on whether the existing space with the existing staff is adequate. They were not asked to look at the existing space to see if it could be better utilized! Here is what they should have been asked to consult on…Give us a report detailing whether our current staff complement is in par with other like-sized townships. What is the size of their municipal office space in relation to ours? Do they employ a CAO? If they have one, did their CAO also make the sunshine list? That’s right people; our CAO is on the sunshine list! Is this in line with other like-sized townships? To my knowledge, these questions have never been asked. How about looking into the “how can we make do with what we have” option? Our elected Council should be asking for more data and options before deciding or voting on a proposed project of this magnitude! - Pauline and Steve Smart

Another area of research into the use of the chemicals in marijuana is in the treatment of the common behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer’s patients. These include anxiety, depression, sleep problems, agitation and aggression. Early double-blind studies didn’t show much improvement of these symptoms, perhaps due to conservative dosing. Future testing will use higher doses.

The Sweetest Butter tart in Town T
PAGE 7
by Chava Field-Green
he first annual Sharbot Lake Farmers Market Butter Tart Challenge was held on Sept. 5. It was a sweet farewell to summer and a taste of the cooler baking season ahead. Out of a total of 15 entries the winner of the Tastiest Butter Tart In Town medallion and $50 grand prize was Jocelyn Harpell of Jossy’s Chill and Grill. Jocelyn credits her mother Annabell Hill (pictured) for the family recipe and shares the 2015 title with her. Jossy’s used to sell Rising Bun butter tarts but since they are no longer available, Annabell and Jocelyn have been making their own while they prepare their vegetable-based gravy for other dishes. “And they’ve just gone viral” said Jocelyn Tuesday morning. The certificate and crown are already posted above the delicious morsels that you can try for yourself at Jossy’s on Highway 7. The crown will be passed on to next year’s winner. Second place was awarded to Molly Ducharme and third place went to Glenys Bender. They each received a litre and a half-litre of Conboy’s maple syrup respectively. Each tart was quartered, and given to the judges. The Butter Tart boys and Butter tart girl served the remainders to the audience members and market-goers. The panel of butter tart experts included Ludwig Ratzinger, professional pastry chef and chocolatier. He acted as head judge in the event of any disputes. Alongside him was Megan McKenzie of Seed to Sausage, which sells artisanal cured meats and specialty foods.

Victor Heese was pleased to be asked to be a judge for the event. The councilor for Central Frontenac said, “It’s my duty to over-indulge.” Rounding out the judges' table was local beekeeper Virgil Garett with over 78 years of sweetness under his belt. “I understand that the judges' gastronomic enthusiasm waned somewhere between the 8th and 10th tarts, but they soldiered on through the 15th”, said co-organizer and
Sharbot Lake Market manager, Mary de Bassecourt. De Bassecourt and fellow organizer, local chef and food enthusiast Andrea Duggan would like to thank everyone who submitted their entries, as well as Hazuki Heese who tallied the scores; Donna Laroque for her poster design; the Butter Tart Boys James and Ryan Howlett, sons of vendor Rustic Roots Farm; and the Butter Tart Girl Izabella Giroux. The Sharbot Lake Farmers Market will continue to run every Saturday 9am to 1pm until Thanksgiving.

Martelock, Allan Victor
CLIFFORD DANIEL HOBBS Feb 16 1930 – Sept 6 2015 Cliff Hobbs, 85, suffered a stroke and died peacefully surrounded by his family at the Kingston General Hospital on September 6th 2015. He was born in Lindsay, Ontario, and lived most of his life in Kingston, before retiring to Gull Lake. Cliff is survived by his wife Nellie (Ottenhof) of 58 years. He was extremely proud of the accomplishments of his family including sons Dan (Irene), Todd (Jill), Kevin (Maureen), and daughter Cindy (Larry), and grandchildren Taylor, Zachary, Sarah, Ryan, Matthew, Josh and Abby. Cliff worked at DuPont Canada in Kingston. He loved the outdoors, was a conservationist before the term was common place and the ultimate “Mr. Fix-it”. In his later years, Cliff valued his independence and he remained active and engaged in life until the very end. Following cremation, the family will receive friends at the Milestone Funeral Center, 11928 Hwy 41, Northbrook, Ontario K0H 2G0 (613-336-6873) on Friday, September 11, 2015 from 12:30 – 2pm. A Celebration of Cliff’s Life will follow in the Chapel at 2pm. His family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses on Davies 4 and Kidd 7, at the Kingston General Hospital for their compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, we request that you make a donation to a charity of your choice. Online condolences are available to the family at www.milestonefuneralcenter.com

Superb sound of the CADRE drummers in Sharbot Lake O n August 29 Sharbot Lake village came alive as the sound of the CADRE (Canadian Associates Drumming Rudimental Excellence) drummers rang out through town in a special free afternoon performance on the lawn of the Sharbot Lake Country Inn. Thanks to a generous invitation extended to the group by inn owners Frank and Sandra White, drumming fans, those just curious, and those lucky enough just to be passing by were awed by the prowess, precision and impeccable playing of this five-time world champion drumming ensemble. The players delighted listeners with what they called a “dress rehearsal” for their upcoming world championship competition, which will take place in Rochester, New York, on Sept. 4. A total of nine players who make up the competition group performed “Camp 3”, a piece comprised of drum core classics that was written by eight different authors from the U.S. and Canada.
The highlight of the show was the competition piece that the group will be playing in Rochester, a tune called “Boy in a Red Shirt” that was written in part by Paul Mosley (who leads the competition group) and Fred Johnson, the current president of the CADRE ensemble. The piece is comprised of no less than eight different time signatures and includes a number of different sticking patterns, one called back-sticking where the drummers use the back of the drum stick to make the beat, as well as a technique called crosssticking. For the competition piece the drummers play a series of identical snare drums, and some of the members also play a second set of tuned drums called quintuplet drums as
Fresh take on the history of Ontario garlic by Julie Druker arlic enthusiasts will be pleased to know that a brand new book titled “Ontario Garlic: The Story from Farm to Festival”, published by The History Press in July, 2015 is now available for those interested in how attitudes towards the stinky bulb have changed. Toronto author Peter McClusky spent a year and a half digging deep into hundreds of years of archival material to write the book, which explains how garlic arrived in Ontario, and how the attitude towards it has drastically changed over the years. He cites the changes as the result of changing immigration laws in Canada in the 1970s. “At that time people arrived in Ontario, brought their cooking with them and with that... their love of garlic. Up until then we were a mostly Anglo-population with an Anglo appreciation of garlic that was not only very conservative but actually quite negative”. McClusky gives examples of these negative attitudes in the book. One was taken from the minutes of a teachers' meeting from a school near Sudbury in 1928 where the teachers there were considering if they should be allowed to send children home who smelled of garlic and who in the end decided to do so. In another example he tells of a woman he interviewed who lived on a farm in small town in Ontario in the 1940s, whose parents were Ukrainian and how she loved to put on a dress and sing. Her one and only opportunity to do so was at her Sunday school but the Sunday school teacher told her she could do so only if she stopped eating garlic. “Imagine what kind of attitude that would put in this little girl's mind and the mind of her parents.” In the book McClusky looks back further to 10,000 years ago and explains how garlic came from central Asia. He describes how it arrived here and how it was both popular and reviled at the same time. The big turnaround came, as previ-
G
ously mentioned, in the 1970s. “As people in Ontario became exposed to new cuisine from other parts of the world, they realized that this cuisine often included garlic as an ingredient and so their attitudes began to change”. McClusky also cites changing attitudes towards garlic using a sociological and anthropological perspective and in the book explains that certain experiments show how human taste actually works. “What we think of the taste of something can often be quite different from its real taste and this occurs often from a negative association we may have or may have inherited.” McClusky, who is from Toronto, had a booth at this year's Verona Garlic Festival and was selling and signing copies of his book. He has been growing garlic near Toronto since 2009, has interned on a farm, and also founded and runs the Toronto Garlic Festival, now in its fifth year. He said he is interested in promoting not only Ontario garlic but also other locally grown produce in the province. “People should get away from only thinking about the price of locally grown food and consider more how good it tastes and how is it is being grown by farmers right in their own back yard”. McClusky definitely did his homework in his effort to arrive at “a deep understanding of garlic.” He interviewed 150 people for the book, including farmers, chefs, gardeners, older residents, and scientists. The book also includes maps, illustrations plus 40 recipes, many by famed Ontario chefs, with more obscure recipes that include desserts like ice cream and brownies. As well it has tips on growing garlic and information about its medicinal qualities. McClusky said he is very excited about the positive response he is getting to the book, which he said is likely due to the fact that he wanted to write a book that he himself would like to buy and read. The book is available in book stores and online at Indigo and Amazon.

well as one bass drum. The drummers begin the competition each playing on the identical snares and at certain point in the piece three of the players move from the snares to the quintuplet drums to add a different sound into the mix. The wonder of the sound comes from how the players are able to play with such rapid fire precision and in perfect time while also adding a number of tricky choreographed moves that make the performance a marvel to both see and hear. At the competition the drummers will be judged on a number of different criteria including content, execution, expression, the number of mistakes they make and how varied the program is, as well as for their general presentation. As explained on their web site cadre-online.ca, the group adheres to some strict principles which Johnson says has contributed to the group's success as an award-winning international ensemble. They include focusing on excellence, 100% acceptance and adherence to a musical master score, and approaching the performance by emphasizing the many shades of musical dynamics to create “that elusive inner-bar magic”.

property or their township. “To me, people come up with arguments against them mainly because they don't want to see them. We had the same reaction when we wanted to bring an eco-lodge to Skootamatta Lake a number of years ago. But in this case, they can go ahead even without our approval, and if they do go ahead, I want to be on the inside instead of on the outside looking in.” And far as the process that council went through before passing a motion of support, he said that he never talked to any of the council members before the vote about what they were planning. “I didn't think that was appropriate, but I kind of knew the way four of the five of us were going to vote.” He does admit, however, that the opposition to turbines caught him by surprise. “When RES first came here in 2008, nobody said a word against it, and when we put it in our Official Plan, nobody said anything, so I was not ready for what has happened, but then again there are 4,600 permanent and seasonal residents in the township and we have only heard from 50 to 100 people against this. When I look down the road at the long-term needs of Addington Highlands, I see this as a potential benefit if it goes ahead. Nothing I have heard has made me think any differently about it.”

exception to that argument, because with him the majority of Council comes from Ward 1, which is slightly less populated than Ward 2. “When you look at Highway 41 north of Bon Echo and see the number of businesses that are boarded up, restaurants that are closed, it tells you that the local economy could not sustain them,” he said. “Even if there are only a few jobs created by this, a few is better than none.” He related that what the research township staff has done and the information he received from other municipalities indicate that turbines don't cause either adverse health effects or a drop in property values and have been of net benefit to the local economies wherever they are located. “We looked at these things; we had our staff do research and this is what they found,” he said. “Some of the people who are against it are saying it will harm our tourism base and the pristine wilderness. We don't have a tourism base; we never have. We do have cottages, of course, and they are crucial to us keeping anything going at all, but that isn't tourism. We also don't have pristine wilderness; everything was logged in what is now Addington Highlands 200 years ago.” He said that most of the opposition is based on people not wanting to see turbines, even at a distance, from their
