time youth homelessness prevention worker based in Sydenham and another part-time worker based in Sharbot Lake. “The program was most successful when we had social workers who understood the needs in our rural area,” said Townsend, “but our ability to keep our workers was hampered by our own pay grid,” said Townsend. Qualified workers can make more money doing similar jobs in the City of Kingston than they can working for Southern Frontenac Community Services. “It would not be fair to the rest of our employees if we paid the homelessness prevention workers on a different scale,” he said. The situation came to a head this spring, when 2 workers left for other jobs in the region and an attempt to recruit new workers proved unsuccessful. Townsend said that Home Based Housing, the agency that runs the homelessness prevention program in Kingston, is providing some service in Frontenac County. People seeking service are encouraged to call them directly at 613-542-6672 “We are concerned about the impact in Central and North Frontenac,” said Louise Moody, Executive Director of Rural Frontenac Community

by Jeff Green (with expert Zombie info provided by Pete Nilson and Scott Cox) n a still, hot summer day in Sharbot Lake, not a creature was stirring … but then came a slow thumpity thud, followed by a pause, followed by another thump, then two thumpity thuds … the zombies had appeared. They congregated by the old Sharbot Lake Public School, drawn by the odour of decay, mold and asbestos. They did their best to scratch their way into the building before departing for the Zealand Cemetery seeking to bring some more recruits to their midst. Rumour has it that they then congregated in Clarendon, at Unusual Acres, where they gathered at sunset amidst the deer flies and a fierce lightning storm, before heading north to the ghost town of Robertsville where they will remain hidden until October. They will be back then, with more recruits, gath-

ered from the historic graveyards ‘north of 7’ for the 1st annual Sharbot Lake Zombie walk on October 26, presented by Unusual Acres and the Oso Recreation Committee. Zombies from far and wide will gather in Sharbot Lake on that gloomy Saturday. More details about the walk will be available soon. Check the Facebook page, Undead in Frontenac for all the details and more photos. For those who fear zombie attacks, and who doesn’t, one resident expert pointed out that zombies are dead, so they are neither more agile nor more intelligent than they were when they were alive. Look to these pages in October for the 3 steps to survive a zombie attack. The watch words are Avoidance, Termination, and Disposal – and always remember never to incinerate a zombie, it releases air borne toxins which spread infection.

North Frontenac Re-Use Centre up and running N

orth Frontenac Township officially opened its Re-Use Centre at the 506 Waste Disposal site (3444 Road 506) last week. The site has been open since May but Public Works Manager Darwyn Sproule said they needed some time to “put together inventory and organize volunteers” before ‘officially’ opening. The site is open from May 15 to October 1 annually, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays and noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. They will accept a variety of items including small furniture, garden equipment, sporting goods, tools, toys, hardware, books, windows and doors, housewares, clean wood, craft materials and paint (not spray). They do not accept hazardous materials such as propane tanks, batteries, bulky items (ie furniture), food waste, tires, liquids, unsanitary items (toilets, sinks, etc), textiles or clothing. They do encourage people to use their North Frontenac officially opened its Re-Use Centre last week with a ribbon cutting featuring (from bulky items posting board for such things left) Public Works Manager Darwyn Sproule, Coun.

Frontenac County Homelessness Prevention Program in limbo as SFCS pulls out by Jeff Green outhern Frontenac Community Services has stopped providing services through a program that is designed to find housing for homeless residents of Frontenac County and help those who are precariously housed to stabilise or improve their situation. “It was a regrettable decision that we had to make to stop offering this service,” said SFCS Executive Director David Townsend, “but we had no real choice because we could not maintain the proper staffing for the program. It is an important service to the community but we were no longer able to provide it. It was also a drain on our resources as an organisation.” The Homelessness Prevention Program in Frontenac County was set up as part of the 10-year homelessness prevention strategy by the City of Kingston. In 2014, SFCS took the lead, along with Rural Frontenac Community Services and Addictions and Mental Health KFLA, in answering a request for proposal to provide services in Frontenac County. The bid from the three agencies was successful and the program started up in 2015. It was tweaked a couple of years later, after being reviewed by City of Kingston staff. Last year, The United Way of KFLA provided funding for a part-

bulky items for repurposing will not be delivered to, unloaded or stored at the Centre or Waste Disposal Site. Sproule said they are pleased with the way things have been going so far and excited about the future of the site. “This is the highest order of recycling,” Sproule said. “Items are dropped off and usable right away. “This is opposed to all the steps in ordinary recycling including washing by residents, collection by the Township, transport to a recycling depot and then transport to a place where the materials can be repurposed — all of which requires energy output of some sort.” Sproule said the operation was well underway when he took over from former Public Works Manager Jim Phillips. “The building was purchased and the foundation in when I came in,” he said. “Jim and waste/recycling lead hand Gary Thompson were the ones who toured similar operations like the one at McDonalds Corners and others and got things moving.”

Living off-grid a viable option these days, and a necessity in some cases by Craig Bakay

ack in the ’60s and ’70s, the concept of living ‘off the grid’ was generally the purview of counter-culture types, back-to-theearthers and such. However, in this day and age, technology and ingenuity have made the concept attainable for most people and motivations have evolved as well. And last Thursday, several area residents got to see three examples of what modern off-grid living looks like as Stan and Marily Seitz opened up their home and cottage along with Rick and Debbie Morey. The two couples live at opposite ends of Canonto Lake near Ompah and while their setups differ, their approaches — and motivations for going it alone are remarkably similar. “The Hydro guy told me, ‘you’re about $120,000 away from our line,” Doug Morey said during his part of the tour. Stan Seitz told a similar tale. The Seitz’s have been off-grid for about 40 years. They built their place just up the hill from the cabin her parents have had since 1970. Marily defers defers to Stan when it comes to explaining how it all works. “I’m the big picture,” she said. “I said ‘solar would be good.’” Stan, it would appear, is the the architect of their off-grid existence. He sounds for all world like Star Trek’s Scotty talking about how warp drive works when describing his setup, all the while insisting how simple it really is. And when it comes down to it, the solar system is relatively simple. Solar panels

convert sunlight into DC current electricity. Then you need an inverter system to change that to AC current to run a household and you need some sort of monitoring and control for the whole thing. The devil, it would seem, is in those details but both Seitz and Morey seem to have it down and while they proudly explain their systems like any enthusiast in almost any pursuit, they continue to extoll the simplicity virtues of their systems. One of the major variables in the systems is the batteries used to store power. (“The solar panels charge the batteries, which run the lights and appliances,” they both said.) In the main house, Seitz has batteries of a size you might expect to see on an aircraft carrier. The batteries in the system down at the cabin are more pickup truck size. Morey has similar size batteries, just a lot more of them. One thing they both agree on is that the roof is no place for solar panels. “You have to get up there and shovel them off in the winter,” Seitz said. He did however, move the roof panels he started out with on the main house down to the cabin which isn’t used in winter. Seitz also has a windmill but it was struck by lighting and is out of action. “And the company is out of business,” he said. They seem to get along fine without it. For Morey, wind power isn’t an option. “We’ve very sheltered here and don’t get enough wind.” But neither of these operations seem to

Rick and Debbie Morey’s solar setup lack for anything. They have video systems, satellite TV, radios, stereos, plenty of lights. They do use propane for appliances (fridge, stove, deep freeze, hot water heater) and have wood stoves but microwaves and coffee makers are plugged into the wall. Other than the fact they’re not hooked up to the electrical grid, they don’t seem to

be living life much differently than anybody else. Except that they’re all ready for a zombie apocalypse. “When the grid goes down occasionally, our kids would get phone calls from their friends to find our what happened in their favourite TV shows,” Seitz said.

RFCS looking for feedback on Ride Share Program

fter receiving a $5,580 grant from Community Founda-

tion for Kingston & Area, Rural Frontenac Community Services is poised to augment its transportation services with Ride Share Program, a community car pool of sorts. And they’d like your feedback as to concerns that such a program might present. “It’s an alternative for people,” said Gail Young, Frontenac Transportation Services program administrator. “There’s a whole community out there who would rather not take two vehicles to Kingston. “It’s a way to lower your carbon footprint.” She said the plan is to provide a centralized location for people to connect under the headings of “I’m going to . . .” or “I need a ride to . . .” “It’s not just for low income people, although it could make things easier to get to medical appointments and such,” she said. “This program will expand on what we already provide.” RFCS executive director Louise Moody said this new pro-

What they’d really like to know is concerns regarding things like safety and etiquette. “What are your preferences?” she said. “Like do you have any allergies concerns or this might affect your insurance. “For example, taking money changes things but if you’re just offering rides, then no. “It is, however, a reasonable expectation to contribute for gas.” So, they’d really like to know your thoughts. You can email transportation@rfcs.ca or call 613-279-3151, ext: 301 or just drop in to the Child Centre in Sharbot Lake and talk to Gail. “We’re questioning as to where the rides come from or end up,” she said. “I don’t think we’re going to be bound by any geopolitical boundaries. “It won’t be just a 38 corridor thing.”

gram is a way to alleviate “unmet needs” of some people but “in the bigger picture, some people just want company for a trip to Kingston or wherever. “We come from a place of ‘people need rides.’ Some people don’t have licences. Some don’t have cars. “But it’s also about the value of a sharing economy — the mindset of choosing to do something another way, which fits in with the green homesteading that goes on in our area.” She said they’ll be using a model that the municipality of Haliburton used for 10 years. Essentially, they’ll be setting up a website, and communications network, where people can connect. “It’s neighbours helping neighbours,” she said. “It’s what worked in small rural communities 50 years ago and it can still work. “Frontenac Transportation Services can answer phones and figure out the links.”

Services, based in Sharbot Lake. ‘We are continuing to offer services for youth at risk of homelessness through the United Way program, but there is a fair bit of need in our communities for the kind of services that this program offered.” A new request for proposal for the provision of the service in Frontenac County will be prepared in the coming weeks, Moody has been informed. “As far as we know, it will be same territory as it was before, all of Frontenac County, We do serve all of the county with the EarlyOn program, so we know the territory, but it would be a stretch for us. Our board will decide if we can reasonably provide this service, and if we have the administrative capacity to take on another program.” In the meantime, Frontenac County residents who are homeless, at risk of becoming so, or living in inadequate housing, do not have the kind of direct support in navigating the system or accessing resources, that has been available over the last five years. At the saemtime, the City of Kingston is undertaking a five-year review of the 10year homelessness prevention program.

Kingston Mayor considering court action against FC SINCE 1970

by Jeff Green fter a long gap, the Rural-Urban Liaison After a long gap, the Rural-Urban Liaison Committee (RULAC), a forum where members of Frontenac County and Kingston City Council have an opportunity to discuss issues related to their shared responsibilities, met on June 26. The meeting was initiated by Frontenac County Warden Ron Higgins, after he had some conversations with Kingston Mayor Brian Patterson over the winter and spring. During those conversations, Patterson revealed that the city was unhappy about cost increases at the county owned Fairmount Home and the county run Frontenac Paramedic Services (FPS). Both services have both a provincial, and a municipal funding component. The municipal funding responsibility is shared by the city and the county using a formula that is based on assessed property values within the two jurisdictions. While Frontenac County Council decides on the budgets for FPS and Fairmount, the bulk of the municipal costs for them are paid out of City of Kingston coffers. This rarely leads to much consternation at city council so long as the levy to the city for Fairmount and FPS does not go up too much from year to year. However, in December of 2018, representatives from Frontenac County came to a City of Kingston budget meeting with numbers that did not go down that well, an increase of 14.4% for Fairmount Home and 8.4% for Frontenac Paramedic Services. While both the city and the county have long since passed their 2019 budgets, the city is asking Frontenac County to make Matson changes. Insurance some retroactive According to the minutes from the June Brokers 26 RULAC meeting, Kingston City Council is willing to cover their share of costs for a 7.7%

increase for FPs and a 6.9% increase for Fairmount Home, and they want Frontenac County to cover the rest. County officials pointed out that if the county went back and funded the difference by dipping into county reserve funds, it would only lead to an even greater upward pressure on the 2020 budget. County Chief Administrative Officer Kelly Pender and Treasurer Susan Brant both indicated they would not recommend that County Council open up the already approved 2019 budget to increase the county share of costs for Fairmount and FPS. Pender acknowledged that the city could bring the matter to arbitration and even to court, but only the apportionment formula in the funding agreements is open to a court challenge, not the actual funding amounts. According to the minutes from the meeting, Mayor Patterson indicated at the end of the exchange that the “city is prepared to go to court if the levy to the city is not reduced”. A motion was forwarded from the RULAC meeting to Frontenac County Council to the effect that the “County of Frontenac reopen the 2019 budget for Frontenac Paramedic Service and Fairmount Home for budget levy.” When contacted early this week, Frontenac County Warden Ron Higgins said that he does not expect Frontenac County Council will support this motion at its monthly meeting, which takes place this week, nor does he expect that any court action that the city decides to take will have any success. “I had a look at the Municipal Act and it is pretty clear. I don’t see where they can really go with this,” he said. He added that he believes that the friction between the county and the city can be resolved. “I think this all came about because of a lack of communication. When we presented those budgets to Kingston City Council we were granted only ten minutes to explain the two budgets needed to increased, not

entral Frontenac Council accepted the resignation of Public Works Manager Brad Thake at a special meeting Monday in Sharbot Lake. Thake formally resigned via email dated July 12. “We need to formally accept the resignation so we can advertise the position,” said Clerk Administrator Cathy MacMunn. Thake joined the Central Frontenac staff in April of 2017 but by July of 2018 was on leave for unspecified reasons. David Armstrong took over as “acting” public works manager but just last week Armstrong announced he was leaving for a similar job in his home town of Mississippi Mills. MacMunn said the public works manager position would be advertised in all the appropriate trade journals but in the meantime, she said she had spoken with North Frontenac CAO Cheryl Robson about temporary assistance and the talks “sounded promising.” “And David (Armstrong) is just a phone call away for a couple of months,” said Mayor Frances Smith.

enough time to explain, for example, that because of call volumes in the city a new shift was being implemented by FPS to serve Kingston and that was the main reason for the increase,” he said. Higgins added that the root of the problem is that RULAC has not been meeting and the relationship between the county and the city has deteriorated as a result. “I did not know what RULAC was all about. I think it only met once in my first term on council. My suggestion is that we meet more regularly so we can avoid any potential conflicts.”

This pending dispute over the 20-year-old funding models is taking place in the context of a climate of uncertainty, both in funding and governance, for both long term care and paramedic services. The provincial government has stated its intention to change the delivery model for paramedic services radically within the next year, by merging paramedic service operators. There are currently 50 in Ontario and they intend to reduce that to 10. Under this scenario, it is highly likely that FPS will no longer exist in its current form.

• Recreation Master Plan – Public Sessions Tay Valley Township, The Township of Drummond/North Elmsley, and the Town of Perth have started the process of creating a joint Recreation Master Plan. One of the initial steps is to hold a public session to explain the process and the goal of the project, and to gather input from the public about the strengths and weaknesses of the provision of recreation for the three municipalities. There are two opportunities for residents to participate: Sat, July 20th from 9:30-11:30am and Tues, July 23 from 5:30-7:30pm at the Lanark County Council Chambers, 99 Christie Lake Road, Perth. This is an important step in creating a plan for future recreation in our area. For more information on the project please contact Amanda Mabo, Clerk for Tay Valley Township at clerk@tayvalleytwp.ca or 613-267-5353 x 130.

St. Paul’s in Sydenham becoming premier musical venue by Craig Bakay

he new(/old/refurbished) organ at St. Paul’s in Sydenham got its second workout in a concert setting Sunday at Jeffrey Moellman, director of music at St. Mary’s Cathedral, brought his five musical children (Jonathan, Clara, Paul, Gabriel and Catherine)to town at the request of colleague, St. Paul’s Music Director Damien Macedo. The organ has had a rather storied journey to get to Sydenham and is in the process of breaking new ground with an electronics/ pipes technology to restore former glory. Moellman’s performance featured pieces by Craig Sellar Lang and George ThalbenBall and while the organ performed well in the higher scales, the bottom end still needs some work. No fault of the performer though. “We’re about 80 per completed on the organ project,” said Hans Berriman, one of the driving forces behind the restoration project. Berriman, himself a trumpet player, hails originally from Perth Road and has connections with the old church. While working as an OPP officer in the Kenora area, he undertook a similar project there.

“That one took about four years,” he said. “This particular organ was rescued from St. Mark’s in Deseronto. “It was in another church before that. We’re quite pleased that it fit in the architecture of this church.” They’re using a Hauptwerk virtual organ system augmented by air (pipes) and electric. Restoration of the organ has spurred a musical renaissance of sorts with concerts scheduled for 2 p.m. Sundays throughout the summer. On July 21, Luba Cargill, Fran Harkness and friends are scheduled for an eclectic mix of violin, piano and chamber ensemble. (See Northern happenings for further concert details) Merriman said they’d very much like to hear from anyone interested in playing at the church (particularly the organ once it’s finished) but “we’d like to make this available as a venue form anyone who needs one.” It should be an attractive one as the acoustics of the old church (original thick lathe and plaster) make it particularly effec-

Buyer beware – Parham couple warn off unwitting investors K

athy and Noel Bateman were surprised when they received notification from Central Frontenac Township that the property next to their house, the former location of a grocery store at the spot where Road 38 meets the Wagarville Road, was included in the township’s current tax sale. That the land was being sold to recover back taxes wasn’t the real surprise, but a missing piece of information was. The grocery store had taken over a building that originally housed a car dealership and garage, and it is a contaminated site. “Anybody who buys that property needs to know what is there, and what potential liability they are taking on,” said Kathy Bateman, in a phone interview with the Frontenac News

last week. She went on to detail the amount of remediation that has been required on her house in order to eliminate the seepage of fumes into the living area due to migrating contamination from next door. She said that early last week her husband Noel had phoned Michael McGovern, Treasurer for Central Frontenac, to find out why there was no warning issued about the property. “He said that although the township had documentation about the removal of gas tanks from the property, there was nothing in their records about further environmental hazards.” The Batemans have been in constant touch with the Ministry of the Environment,

over many years, about the situation property and they contacted the ministry to let them know the property was up for sale for back taxes. When contacted on Friday (July 12) McGovern said he had received an email from the Ministry of the Environment’s Kingston office a day earlier, informing him about the contamination. “As I told Mr. Bateman, we had nothing in writing about the property except that the tanks had been removed,” McGovern said, “but now that I have the information from the ministry, I am sending the information to everyone who picked up the tax sale package about this property. It is still part of the tax sale, but potential buyers will be informed about the contamination.

Township of Central Frontenac Official Plan Review Open Houses

by Jeff Green

If the property does not sell as part of the tax sale, Central Frontenac Council can choose to make it available for sale through a secondary process, with no minimum bid. It is now listed with a minimum price of $18,625.53, the amount owing in back taxes. If it still doesn’t sell, as is likely, Council will have the option of taking ownership of the property or leaving it in the hands of the current owner, which is GMD Frontenac Corporation, foregoing the missing tax revenue but saving the township from the liability that comes with owning a contaminated piece of property. “In the email that I received, the ministry said that the land is on their list for cleanup, which they expect to complete in two to three years,” McGovern said.

Food Bank Garden — a learning experience with other benefits T by Craig Bakay o a certain extent, one of the biggest secrets on last weeks South Frontenac Community Services Garden Tour was right in their own back yard — the Food Bank Community Garden. It’s actually been up and running for seven years, having been started by Master Gardener Janette Haase when she lived in the area. And its been a success on several levels, according to current garden steward Alan Macdonald, whose day job is teaching at Loughborough Public School. “The Food Bank doesn’t tend to get as many donations in summer and that’s when the demand seems to be highest,” Macdonald said. “For one thing, kids do often get fed at school and when it’s not in session, they still have to eat.” The garden/greenhouse goes a long way towards bridging that gap, he said. But a community garden does a lot more than put food in hungry mouths, he said.

“A lot of our volunteers are students,” he said. “And it goes a long way to empower them, giving them a method for change by teaching them how to grow their own food. “It also shows them that what’s on your plate is as much effect as what’s in your driveway.” He said the garden is as much a classroom as any other. “They learn about soil biology,” he said. “This is one of

the few classrooms where results are measured by who has the dirtiest hands.” It also meshes well with many in-class subjects such as learning how to cook and meal planning, he said. “And some of these kids are potential food-bank users of the future,” he said. And it teaches them to deal with problems that arise, often in creative ways. “We’ve had a problem with battling Colorado potato beetles,” he said. “We’ve brought in some parasitic wasps and praying mantis eggs.” They’ve also learned about things like floating row covers, which protect against bugs but also extend growing seasons. Finally, they learn a lot from the adult volunteers that help out, many of whom are retired seniors with a love of gardening and lifetimes of experience. “It’s very much an intergenerational story,” Macdonald said. Volunteers get together on Tuesday mornings at the gardens on Stage Coach Road.

North Frontenac Little Theater 40th Anniversary Student Poster Contest

rom “Anne of Green Gables” to “Annie”; “Tom Sawyer” to “Aladdin”, children have always figured prominently in North Frontenac Little Theatre productions. To recognize this fact in this, our 40th anniversary year, students were invited to participate in a special poster contest so they too could celebrate and demonstrate their appreciation of our live theatre company. Posters were to focus on the celebration of NFLT’s 40th Anniversary, were to have an original concept and design, and could not be computer aided. The contest was open to students in Central and North Frontenac. All participants received a special anniversary certificate and the winners got monetary awards as well. Submissions were dropped off at the Cardinal Café in Sharbot Lake and totalled twenty-eight by the May 1st deadline. NFLT thanks all the contestants for hon-

ouring our theatre company with their art, and is pleased to announce the winners: Intermediate Division - 1st Place: Samantha Driscoll, Harrowsmith Public School, Gr. 7; 2nd place: Sarah Powell, GREC, Gr. 7; 3rd place: Amy Watkins, GREC, Gr. 7 Junior Division - 1st Place: Jenna Rose GREC Gr. 6; 2nd Place: Sloane Putnam GREC, Gr. 6; 3rd Place: Isabelle Tryon, LOLPS, Gr. 4 Primary Division - 1st Place: Emily Parks LOLPS Gr. 3; 2nd Place: Ted Saunders, LOLPS, Gr. 3 The winning posters are on display at NFLT’s Tichborne Hall.

Local entrepreneurs turning up the heat in Sydenham by Craig Bakay host Road, Maple Fire, Zombie Sunset, Sheer Agony, Red Viper . . . sounds a bit like the upcoming season of The Walking Dead, doesn’t it? But no, these are a few of the 13 varieties of hot sauce available from MissFortuneS Unforgiving Hot Sauces, which are produced in the kitchens of St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Sydenham, by father and son team Erik and Taylor Miazga. And after about three years in business, there are plenty of signs that they may just be on to something. “We’re pushing 40 locations (where their sauces are available),” Taylor said. These include where you might expect in the Frontenacs such as Food Less Travelled, Trousdale’s, Seed to Sausage and Foodland, but they’re also expanded out to Gananoque, Perth, Trenton, Belleville, Kingston. The hot sauce business isn’t a full-time gig for either of them — yet — but that’s definitely looking like a distinct possibility. Taylor drives truck for Findlay Foods and through his deliveries, he’s managed to cultivate a network of contacts that’s paying off. Erik was injured a couple of years ago in a car accident and hasn’t really been able to do other work, but that’s OK, he’s kind of the creative end of the team — both in the kitchen and product development/artwork. “I used to do a lot of the cooking around

Public Notice Take Notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of North Frontenac proposes to enact a By-law to stop up, close and sell part of the road allowances as set out and described as follows: All That Part of the Road Allowance between the Geographic Townships of Palmerston and North Sherbrooke, adjacent to Part of Lot 9, Concession 11, geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac being Part 2 on Registered Plan 13R-22024; All That Part of the Shoreline Road Allowance around Mazinaw Lake lying in front of Lot 31, Concession Second Range East of Addington Road, geographic Township of Barrie, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac being Part 1 on Registered Plan 13R22007; All That Part of the Road Allowance between the North East and South West Ranges, Part of Lot 39, geographic Township of Clarendon, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac being Part 2 on Registered Plan 13R-21792. The proposed By-law will come before the said Council for consideration at its regular meeting on July 29,2019 at 9:00 a.m. in the Municipal Council Chambers located at 6648 Road 506, Plevna. At that time, the Council will hear in person, any person who claims that his land will be prejudicially affected and who applies to be heard. Dated this 4th day of July, 2019 Tara Mieske Clerk/Planning Manager Township of North Frontenac 6648 Road 506 Plevna, ON. K0H 2M0 Tel: (613) 479-2231 or 1-800-234-3953 Fax: (613)479-2352 Email: clerkplanning@northfrontenac.ca

home,” he said. “But I’m not one of those who sticks to recipes.” To that end, he started “experimenting” with red pepper jellies which he would give to friends and families. “(But) with jellies, you have to put pectin in and I could never really come up with the right consistency.” So, the natural progression of his culinary art led him to sauces — hot pepper sauces. But Miazga is definitely his own man, and his philosophy led him to a rather unique product line. “We’re not out to fry somebody’s face off,” he said. “We start out with a flavour and then add the heat.” For example, Maple Fire is 30 per cent (“local” maple syrup) with hot pepper added. “We have 13 flavours, all with their own heat level,” Erik said. “It might be cranberry, sweet & sour, curry or Louisiana style. “Then we add what peppers, or combination of peppers, we think will work best.” This isn’t your typical little bottle of Tabasco or Frank’s Red Hot. MissFortuneS comes in a mickey-sized flask bottle with some of the most unique labelling around. “People seem to like our labels,” Erik said. For example, one flavour is “Kamikaze” which features the tag line “to die for.” And then there’s “Asylum Serum” for “when you can’t make up your mind.” That one features artwork of the asylum Lizzie Borden ended up in. And even though their current product line is doing well, the Miazgas aren’t about to rest on their laurels. They see expansion into marinades, meat rubs and such. They’re also working with restaurants like Mesa Fresca in Kingston to develop house sauces and bulk for places like Gilmour’s who use in in their .38 Special sausages. “And we’re trying to devise a logo for sway,” Taylor said. “I’d like to see this a full-

Erik and Taylor Miazga are hoping to ignite an inferno with their line of MissFortuneS hot sauces. time thing for sure. “Right now, I can spend a full day in the kitchen, 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. and then have to work the next day.”

The way things are heating up this grilling season, that could easily be just around the corner.
