Shared services, programs between Frontenac County townships likely to expand By Craig Bakay Reporter

News — Cooperation between the townships in Frontenac County on such things as waste site monitoring and materials procurement has netted some savings and it looks like the process will be expanding, according to a report from the joint CAOs meeting held April 2. To date, meetings with the public works managers from all four member townships have resulted in three townships sharing the same waste site monitoring firm and cheaper prices for materials like winter salt and sand and now the CAOs want in on the action. At the regular County Council meeting last week in Plevna (the county is holding its regular meetings in each of the member townships this summer in recognition of the 150th anniversary), County CAO Kelly Pender submitted a report that outlined 68 areas where potential savings might be had using the process. These include: • human resources (recruitment, health & safety, occupational health, employee assistance programs, benefits management, training, performance management, collective bargaining, employee relations, compensation and pay equity), • municipal planning (pre-planning inquiries, compliance letters, bylaw enforcement, committee of adjustment/severance, plans of subdivision, zoning, local official plans, county official plans, development charges, community improvement plans, growth and statistics, Ontario Municipal Board), • corporate communications (branding and corporate style, media relations, website management, social Events – The Oso Recreation Committee has resurrected dances at the Oso Hall and judgmedia, events, newsletters), ing by the success of last weekend’s get-together with local country rockers One Busted • council coordination (orientation, training, legislaEgo, organizers suggest there could be more. Photo/Craig Bakay tive changes, liability and risk management),

• finance (accounts receivable, accounts payable, taxation, audit, financial information return reporting, payroll, insurance, risk management, procurement, budget and finance), • economic development (branding, community engagement, marketing, business retention & expansion, grant writing, research, project management), • emergency planning (plan development, training, exercises, emergency communications, stock and supplies, business continuity, emergency operations centres), • information technology (servers and server administration, email, desktop support, training, procurement and life-cycle management, connectivity, GIS administration, base mapping, spatial analysis, 911 and civic addressing, road closures). “Looking at 68 suggestions of service areas takes time and we haven’t had enough to make any decisions,” said Dep. Warden Frances Smith. “Approving something in principle is one thing but the devil is in the details.” “One size does not fit all,” acknowledged Pender. “But 100 per cent participation is not necessary in order to proceed. “(But) payroll can be done anywhere and the greatest economies of scale will come from sharing technology and back-of-shop operations.” “I welcome this,” said Coun. John McDougall. “I celebrate this.” At the Central Frontenac Council meeting the night before, new CAO/Public Works Manager Jim Zimmerman said that he really hadn’t had time since assuming his new responsibilities to have been able to absorb all of the information but added “it looks like they’re talking about moving ahead rather quickly with some areas like GIS. “They were talking about hiring three more people.”

credibility question,” said Coun. John Inglis. “You have to go into a project like this realizing there could be zero profit.” ••• Frontenac County got a clean bill of financial health from its auditor. “Overall, we have been impressed with the systems at the county,” said Howard Allan, of Allan Chartered Accountant Professional Corporation. “It’s one of the few municipalities we do that prepares its own financial statements. “I was pleased to

There is however still $10 million left for municipalities to make cycling improvements and

South Frontenac in particular has expressed an interest in cycling in the township. ••• Coun. Ron Vandewal made note of the fact that his request to have a bylaw separated out from a package of bylaws for debate and passage was allowed under the county’s procedure bylaw.

FRONTENAC COMMUNITY YARD SALE Mark Thomas and David Milloy took advantage of the County Council meeting in Plevna last week to protest developments at a subdivision on Norcan Lake in North Frontenac. One question was resolved in that it was established that Canalodge Developments had given a cheque to the municipality in the amount of $27,255 for cash in lieu of parkland. The cheque was deposited in North Frontenac’s bank account June 18, 2010. Photo/Craig Bakay R0013224608_0416

News — If there is to be a historical book on Frontenac County done in the 150th anniversary year, it will have to be done with private funds, County Council decided at its regular meeting last week held in Plevna in recognition of the 150th anniversary celebrations. At a previous council meeting, author/ journalist/historian Orland French had pitched a book, similar to one he’d done on Prince Edward County, which he said could end up having zero cost for the county if it sold a certain number of copies. Under French’s plan, the county and member townships would put up $80,000 to finance the operation, of which $30,000 would go to printing costs. However, through the 150th anniversary committee, CAO Kelly Pender put together a report suggesting there was substantial chance the county (and member townships) could end up with a loss if sales didn’t go well. “Mr. French suggested we find community groups to sell the books but if we only sold 60 per cent of them, our losses would be about $36,500,” Pender said. Pender also suggested that the idea of the book might be contrary to the county’s procurement policy requiring tendering. “We don’t accept unsolicited bids,” he said. At least one councilor supported Pender’s assessment of the potential difficulties selling the books. “There could be a time commitment involved if staff had to sell the books,” said Coun. Natalie Nossal. Others seemed more concerned about the time commitment already spent. “I would have liked to have known

about the procurement policy before a lot of the legwork was done . . . I don’t want to say wastefully,” said Coun. Ron Vandewal. “It was a lot of work that maybe shouldn’t have happened,” said Coun. Ron Higgins. “It really wasn’t a lot of work,” said Pender. Only one councilor seemed genuinely disappointed at the way the discussion was headed. “A lot of surrounding counties have done this (through French) so there’s no

Financial statements a “good news story� for Central Frontenac in 2014

By Craig Bakay Reporter

News — Frontenac County Council approved $7,000 for a seniors transportation study at its regular meeting held last week in Plevna (the county is holding meetings in each of its four townships in recognition of the 150th Anniversary). In a report to council, Joe Gallivan, director of planning and economic development, recommended the move, saying that for an eightmonth period from April to December 2014, more than 4,300 rides were provided to seniors for medical appointments. “The monthly demand was constant, about 400 to 500 total rides,� the report said. “According to staff at Northern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS), which serves North and Central Frontenac townships, and Southern Frontenac Community Services (SFCS), this total represented an increase of almost 1,000 rides from 2014 and 2,000 rides from 2013.� David Townsend, executive director of SFCS, said: “I’ve been working with Joe and I have to endorse what he’s been working on. “We estimate that there are more than 7,800 seniors that could benefit from transportation services and we’ve only helped about 800.� Gallivan’s report cited several reasons for the increase in demand for rides including a significant increase in awareness of both SFCS and NFCS and in particular the offering of the ride service for seniors; additional volunteers com-

mitted to the service which has allowed the higher user demand to be met (currently there are 42 volunteer drivers) and a gradual increase in seniors population. “Based on this growing demand, SFCS and NFCS project ridership to be over 5,500 rides in 2015,� the report said. “Based on this growing demand, SFCS and NFCS project 2015 ridership to be over 5,500 rides in 2015.� The report said there are other services provided across the Frontenacs that may require transportation to or from a seniors residence including Meals on Wheels, home help and respite, palliative care and bereavement, caregiver support, adult day care and Diners Club for seniors. Although the measure passed, it wasn’t without concern on the part of some councilors. “It was my understanding that the study was collect numbers,� said Coun. John Inglis. “What I hear you saying now is more of a marketing exercise.� CAO Kelly Pender acknowledged there was some of that aspect to it but pointed out that firm numbers from an outside source would likely be required to access funding from higher levels of government. “I’m not opposed to spending money on research but I would rather spend it on providing rides,� said Coun. Ron Vandewal. “I know you need the statistics for government funding applications.� “We have $100,000 set aside (for seniors ride programs), so $7,000 is not a large portion of that,� said Pender.

6 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, April 23, 2015

It is all about garbage... What to do? What to do? News – Following a recent article about the Wolfe Island Land Fill site and the announcement of its closure as a “Dump” in early September, Island history buff Brian MacDonld informed me with a picture taken in the 1920’s that the site was originally an active quarry. The Wolfe Island Landfill site is soon to become instead , a serious “Recycle Centre and Transfer Station”, a goal the township has been working toward over many years under the direction of engineer Guy Laporte - AECOM. For many, all this has come too quickly. For others, it can’t come soon enough. The rule however is that it “the dump part of the site” must close. In 1991 Guy Laporte then with Totten Sims Hubicki undertook a detailed assessment of the site. “Wolfe Island has been dealing well with the recommendations for the proper management of a landfill site and is planning for a recycling depot,” his report said. The landfill site always under close scrutiny by the Ministry of the Environment at the time, caused Reeve Hasselaar to say , “we are very serious about all this in spite of the difficulties that arise.” Personally I remember the

Wolfe Island waste site the way it was when we moved from Toronto to the island. Very busy with regular burning, and garbage left at the gate for the site attendant to pick up, many times particularly over weekends spilled out and blowing in the wind. That was then, 20+ years ago. And this is now. Early last month Laporte, now a Wolfe Island resident presented an outline of the (Sept. 8 th) site closure with temporary alterations allowing for the Transfer Station to operate until its re-constructed re-opening before the end of October 2015. AECOM will provide the draft and final design for the landfill cap of the pit and for the Transfer Station (hauling and disposal of wastes) with input from the Wolfe Island Waste Management committee. AECOM will also provide part time inspection as work is undertaken. Recently Councillor Barb Springgay chaired a Waste Site Transition Committee meeting where Guy Laporte provided an overview of key areas to be concluded: site closure itself; Transfer Station design/operation; waste hauling/disposal; waste acceptance levels; a schedule and Public Notification. He said some levelling at the site needs to happen; fencing is in poor condition and a swale designed to manage water runoff is required.

Design, moving the hut, the fence , entry and exit locations as well as the placement of the many bins (paper, cardboard, metal, electronics, glass , bottles, plastic, Styrofoam ,compostable waste) will all be considered. CAO Plumley will research prices of compactors to reduce haulage trips. Springgay noting the the importance of reducing waste presented ideas from of a brainstorming session: clear bags; bag limits, User fees, hours of operation, signage, roadside dumping fines. She was quick to acknowledge that developing a long range plan for communicating with the public and providing information and education is of prime importance as the township moves forward. Frontenac County Warden, Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle, is the elected County Caucus representative to AMO Waste Management Task Force “We have been doing behind the scenes work at the county, and the Eastern Ontario Warden’s caucus (EOWC) and had asked to participate with AMO at the provincial level,” he said. “We are looking for support from cities to work together on a long term collective approach to waste management, how to handle our garbage 15, 20 years down the road. Municipally it has been too easy to dump the garbage in a hole in the

ground. We have to change. County Council solidly endorsed that we must address this issue,”Doyle acknowledged. Islanders who may not have expected the closure of “the dump” so soon, have come a long way in dealing with garbage. Slowly but surely it’s the environment , the reuse of resources and the future that are considered. Around Town:* You have to see it to believe it. The line up’s for the 33 car Frontenac II ferry particularly at Peak Periods are quite incredible. Congratulations to the ferry Crew for taking the time to load so efficiently and for the little if any time lost.. Park and Ride is becoming increasingly more popular on both sides.

greenhouse gas emissions is to put a price on carbon. Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission found that GDP in 2020 is approximately 3.8% better under carbon pricing than it is under a regulatory approach. Ontario is now taking bold action to put a price on carbon by joining Quebec and California in a cap and trade scheme. However the design and implementation will be crucial to the success of the system.

8 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, April 23, 2015

Editorial – This week, on April 22, the world celebrated Earth Day, the 45th annual Earth Day to be precise. Many marked the day by bicycling or carpooling to work, participating in garbage clean-ups or packing a litter less lunch. While all of these practices are great, we have to wonder, are they still making an impact or is the day simply a false front? Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year. It was originally proposed as a day to inspire world peace and remember to care for the planet we live on, but over the years the celebrations have shifted. Now, the majority of the world celebrates Earth Day by briefly changing day to day behaviors or by protesting about governments and organizations who are failing to protect the planet. Canadians certainly fall into the latter category and right now we have a lot to raise concern about when it comes to protecting our planet and doing our part. A few weeks ago, Canada failed to submit an emissions reduction plan to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for review before the December convention. This is yet another disregard for environmental issues by the federal government and frankly it is embarrassing. The federal government continues to remain inactive when it comes to environmental legislation, forcing many provinces to take matters into their own hands. Last week, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne signed a historic deal to join Quebec’s cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions. While many of the details still need to be worked out, it is definitely a step in the right direction for Ontario, but we need this type of action to happen nationally and not just provincially. There is only so much that we can do as individuals when it comes to prolonging the life of our planet. We need the government to lend support and show that these small acts can make a difference. As a country we can make a difference and there is still time to get back on track, we just need to be on the same page.

DAYTRIPPER

Healing hands that, when the session was complete, Stefan slowly brought my focus back to the here and now. He made me sit up for several minutes while we chatted. He said he didn’t want me driving right away. For lack of a better explanation—and I’m guessing here, as no EEG was taken to confirm this—but I think that during the deep relaxation I’d entered an alpha brain wave state. We talked about our own forms of artistic practice and how much of it is intuitive and inspired in the moment. When I start a photographic session, I usually have no idea where it will end up. The same applies to Stefan’s metal art. He explained that the intuitive approach he uses in his artistic craft serves him well in Jin Shin Do® practice. He does not begin a session with a pre-conceived idea regarding what a client needs. He needs to listen to the client as well as his own intuition. “It’s important to know the theory,” he said. “But you also have to follow your intuition Artist and certified Jin Shin Do practitioner Stefan Duerst works on a client. within your working knowledge.” Photo by Bernard Clark During a session, the client remains fully clothed while lying on their back on a massage table. It’s a non-intrusive and non-invasive approach. During this time, the acupressurist applies pressure to a number of acu-points that follow the eastern medicine concept of energy meridians in the body. It’s safe to say you’ll leave a session with significantly less stress and tension than you started with. The theory and philosophy is that over time, our reactions to stress involve holding feelings and emotional responses with muscular tension. The flow of energy through the meridians is inhibited and blocked. The pressure applied by the practitioner on the acupoints of the body helps to release the blockages to energy flow through the meridians, thus relieving the client’s pent up stress.

Daytripper –Stefan Duerst’s creative heart and hands are also adept at healing. The metal artist and blacksmith has completed his registration training and opened his own practice in the relaxation method of Jin Shin Do®, which literally means “the way of the compassionate spirit.” The popular t-shirts with the slogan “Keep Calm and....” should probably read, “Keep Calm and Jin Shin Do.” The technique is a combination of traditional Japanese acupressure, Chinese theory and Ericksonian psychotherapy. It is recommended as a relaxation therapy, to be used as an adjunct to qualified medical or psychological care. It is purported to assist the healing process by releasing tension, decreasing stress and encouraging a sense of increased well-being. in 2009, Stefan Duerst became involved in Jin Shin Do® when he accompanied his wife, Tanya Harrington, to a training program in Mexico. “Tanya has been training for about ten years,” said Duerst. “We went to Mexico to visit her teachers and they became my teachers, too. They gave me a session and I wanted to learn more. I did it for my own sake to deal with my own stuff, and I just kept going. I really enjoy the theory behind it.” Since then, he’s travelled to Mexico, California and Lasqueti Island off of Vancouver to complete his own training. Tanya is not yet registered as she still has to complete a mandatory examination. However, the couple recently decided to work together. Stefan offered a treatment so I could understand the process first hand. Wise Continued on page 11 move. Having experienced a 90-minute session, it’s safe to say that the technique’s claims as a useful relaxation method are valid and accurate. I’ve taught relaxation training programs in many settings. Jin Shin Do® takes it a step further. Rather than simply allowing a state of mental relaxation, the addition of pressure on acupressure points definitely releases negatives oes your thinning hair affect where and provides relief from stress. you go and what you do?

Continued from page 9

Stefan continues with his artistic metal work, but now practises Jin Shin DoŽ on Friday’s in Kingston in the Chiropractic Matters clinic at 1343 Princess Street. You can book sessions on other days at his rural property near Verona, where Stefan and his wife live and are developing a beautiful retreat setting that includes a treatment room, sauna and extensive walking trails. Tanya practises and teaches yoga at that site. I first met Stefan more than 10 years ago when he was blacksmithing in NGB Studios. He works intensely, creatively and intuitively. He invests the same intense energy in his Jin Shin DoŽ practice as he does in his metal work. He explained that his long term goal is to continue with his metal sculpture work as a metal artist as well as growing his Jin Shin DoŽ practice. He also likes to teach and plans to increase doing so in both his blacksmithing and acupressure work. He would also like to further his Jin Shin DoŽ training in order to be able to teach more advanced programs at their rural property. If you’d like to book an appointment, the cost for a 90 minute session is $120 (plus HST). Believe me, it’s worth more than that and has a value far beyond the cost of pharmaceutics of the same cost. Both Stefan and Tanya offer programs such as acupressure and yoga at their Buck Bay Road site near Verona. You can find out more about Tanya Harrington’s yoga program through her Feel Yoga Facebook page. Stefan Duerts is offering an introductory Jin Shin DoŽ course on Friday (April 24) night from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Verona Lions Hall. The cost is $40 if pre-registered, or $50 (cash or cheque) at the door. To register, contact Stefan at 613-3298096 or duerst@gmail.com. Stefan also continues to practise his artistic metal work and blacksmithing and teaches blacksmithing courses in his Verona setting. To explore Stefan Duerst’s metal art, visit duerst.ca; you can see his blacksmith work at beautifulblacksmith.com.

Farm fresh flavours all year long By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Events - Do you dream of freshly harvested strawberries, tomatoes and more in the dead of February? So do Nathalie Banger, Kat Evans, Barb Danielewski and Tim Gray, all of whom have been passionate canners for many years. “I like to think that my ancestors went through a famine or something so now it’s just engrained in me – gotta save it,� Banger laughs. “It’s so nice to open up something in the middle of winter and be like oh yeah, I remember that day that I did this.� “And it tastes so much better,� Evans adds. “It still has the farm freshness of local food, but you get to have it in February when the world is miserable and it tastes like summertime.� Evans and Banger both find that many people they talk to seem curious about canning, which led to a desire to share these skills with others. “People ask us ‘how do you can’? ‘Can we come learn’? So we thought let’s get this out of our home kitchens and into a proper space where people can learn something,� Evans says. Thus Summer Squirrel, a new canning instruction initiative, was born; courses will be held in KCVI’s classroom kitchen on five Sundays through harvest season: June 28, July 19, Aug. 16, Sept. 20 and Oct. 18. There will also be an “open kitchen� day for tomato canning Aug. 30. The dates are intended to line up with when certain canning-friendly foods come into season - e.g. everything from cucumbers, tomatoes and strawberries to the more adventurous pickled garlic scapes and asparagus. The star ingredient of each class may vary depending on how the season plays out. “We’re going to play it by ear a little bit and see what’s super plen-

tiful and in season and what people get really excited about,� Evans says. “Do people get really excited the first time we do a salsa? Do we want to do more than one? Do we want to do a peach salsa?� Banger notes that once you start canning, it’s easy to get hooked. “I started with jams one year because I was starting to get more into local food and I [had all these strawberries]. Then I got more into sauces and stuff. Now it’s like this compulsion every year to spend half my summer in the kitchen just putting stuff up for winter. I get stressed out if I’m not canning. What if I run out?� She’s even been successful at the Fall Fair, where the typically rather elderly canning community was excited to see a young woman take up Nathalie Banger (Left) and Kat Evans with some of their canned goodthe trade.

‘Spirit Horse’ hopes to spark Aboriginal studies and understanding in Limestone elementary schools By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News - Racism is a difficult topic to discuss with anyone – especially children, but a new play organized by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) hopes to make the subject a little easier to broach. ‘Spirit Horse’, a theatrical production that chronicles the adventures of two Aboriginal children who challenge cultural stereotypes and confront racism, is currently on tour throughout Southern Ontario; the show made a stop at Duncan McArthur Hall in Kingston to perform for more than 200 Limestone Public school students in grades 4 to 8 on April 13. “The play is very high-energy and fast-paced and that is really important to keep the kids engaged, but it also has a great message,� explained Dakota Hebert, one of the four cast members in the production. “Together, the four of us play over 65 characters throughout the play and it is so much fun for us and the kids.� The play follows two urban First Nations children as their lives are suddenly changed; their grandfather brings them a horse that has mysteriously appeared to him and the children feel an incredible bond to the animal. The horse links them and their dad to their Stoney Nation heritage and brings them on a very imaginative journey that

helps them heal and cope with the loss of their mother and wife and become a family again. “The play is really about racism and showing that we don’t know everyone’s story,� said Hebert. “These girls get called some very unfortunate names in the play and these names are not uncommon, but I think the play really works to point out the effects that those names have on people and it is really powerful.� The play was adapted by Ojibway playwright Drew Hayden Taylor and is being performed by Roseneath Theatre Group. The stop in Kingston is one of 75 throughout the province and the group has seen many positive responses to their performances since beginning their 100-show tour on March 30. “The play has been so well received and the students always have really interesting questions afterwards. I think they really get it and that is amazing to see,� said Hebert. “They get a bit uncomfortable at times throughout the play, but that is really important and we want to see that reaction.� ETFO hopes the performances in each city will inspire conversations in the classroom and lead to more awareness and acceptance of aboriginal students within schools. “This play is a way to highlight the aboriginal issues, struggles, systemic discrimination and stereotypes that Aboriginal children may face when coming from a traditional background into the

Protect Your Investment

contemporary atmosphere,� explained Mike Lumb, President of the Limestone ETFO Teacher Local. “We see a large amount of aboriginal students in schools throughout the province and not just in the north, so we didn’t want to isolate the message. Everyone needs to be a part of this and recognize the issues that are being faced. Following the performance on April

13, teachers are invited to attend workshops to further their own and their class’ education on the issues. The play was also be performed on April 20 at Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake for another group of students, furthering aboriginal education in the area. “We hope the play and the conversations will have a positive effect in terms of awareness throughout the

schools and the Limestone Board,� said Lumb. “These aboriginal students are in our classrooms and we need to recognize that and support them in whatever way we can and I think this is a good first step.� ‘Spirit Horse’ continues its Southern Ontario tour until June 15.

Events – Steve Marsh is a mystery writer, winner of the coveted Silver Dagger Award, but he has a problem; soon after his third novel is published, Marsh’s wife receives a series of phone calls and letters that threaten to destroy their marriage. This is the plot of ‘Silver Dagger’, a murdermystery that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seat and it is coming to the Domino Theatre on April 23. “It’s a very intriguing play and as soon as I read it I wanted to direct it,â€? explained director Michael Sheppard. “I think it will be a great night of entertainment and certainly one that people aren’t expecting.â€?

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, April 23, 2015 13

Seed ordering was one exciting yearly tradition Lifestyle – By the time Mother had written out her order on the last sheet of the Steele-Briggs seed catalogue, the pages were practically in shreds after many hours of pouring over the choices she would make. The little catalogue would arrive early in the Spring, and the cover would be masses of bright flowers, some I had never heard of, and certainly would never find their way into the flower beds out in Renfrew County! But anyway, flowers weren’t what Mother was interested in. Her interest was in the pages of vegetables, all listed alphabetically and looking so real, it seemed you could just pick them up and eat them.

to interest her the most, while pictures of big green watermelons kept me captive, and I hoped with all my heart that Mother would put a pencil mark beside the picture that took most of one page. Finally, she would have made her choices.  The form was filled in from the back of the catalogue, and the order sent off in the mail in an envelope with a three cent stamp. Now, the wait began. And it was beyond my imagination, how, by simply writing a few lines on a piece of paper, sending it off to some far off city, and in due time, a packet would arrive with all the seeds my Mother had ordered.  Of course, the entire mail system was a complete mystery to me to begin with! But then, just days after the order had been sent in, there the box would be! Sometimes it would come from Montreal, and sometimes all they way from out West...another miracle as far as I was concerned. Of course, Mother would have to have the money in her hand to pay for the seeds, because the

box would come to us C.O.D.  Mother knew how much I loved seeing the box of seeds, and so the day it would arrive, she wouldn’t open it until after supper, and I was allowed to get the scissors out of the sewing machine drawer and cut the strings and open the box. And there would be all those beautiful packets of seeds!  Just like the pictures in the catalogue.  I would line them up on the table after the kitchen had been redded up, and stand them up against a drinking glass, all in order, so that I could see them better. And everything was in vivid colours.  The tomatoes were the brightest red, and the cucumbers vivid green.  I would take a packet over to show Father sitting beside the Findlay Oval, and he would look it over, make a grunting sound without taking his pipe out of his mouth, and that would be it.  And sometime during the evening, he would again say the very same seeds could be bought right down the road at Briscoe’s General Store...and you wouldn’t have had to

waste three cents on a stamp either. But nothing could dampen my joy of playing with those crisp little packets of seeds.  Soon Mother would plant them in little wood boxes Father had made years before, and they would sit in the kitchen until they sprouted and it was time to move them to the garden. I watched them daily, and when the first spot of green appeared, I was ecstatic. I’m not sure if I was more excited about the actual growth of the plants, or marveling again at the fact that by simply sitting down at the kitchen table and sending off an order to some far away city, a parcel would arrive.  And that parcel in due course would turn into an ample garden and feed us for months to come. Yes, a miracle indeed.  All for the cost of a three cent stamp!

Father could never understand why Mother even bothered with ordering packets of seeds from the Steele-Briggs catalogue. Sure, you could get the same seeds right down the road at Briscoe’s General Store!  Mother knew that, but she said there was something about ordering seeds from some far off place, and besides, there was a written notice that satisfaction was guaranteed or you would get your money back. I asked Mother if that meant if the seeds didn’t turn into vegetables, would Steele-Briggs send back the few dollars she had laid out.  â€œThat’s exactly what that means,â€? she would say, with a firm nod of her head. â€œFat chance,â€? Father would say from his place near the Findlay Oval. From the day the little catalogue arrived, it rarely left the end of the old pine table in the kitchen. Mother liked nothing better than to thumb through its pages, and with a pencil put an ‘X’ beside what she thought she might order.  Seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers and beans seemed

ENCHANTÉ

London Calling Enchanté – A recent Heritage Festival performance for the students of the Regiopolis-Notre Dame (Regi) high school senior band provided the dream trip of a lifetime. This was no ordinary jaunt to a local performing arts centre. Before Easter weekend, the senior band hopped on a bus that took them to Montreal. There, they caught a plane to London, England. After a three-hour wait on the tarmac due to an equipment glitch on the aircraft, the rest of the trip went off smoothly. Hugh Johnston, who is in charge of Regi’s music program, as well as conducting the band, explained how the trip came about. The Regi band has taken part in the Heritage Festival for the past several years. The Heritage Festival has been

held throughout the United States since 1980. About three years ago, the Festival sites expanded to Europe as part of the WorldStrides Heritage Performing Programs. High school ensembles who participate in the Festival are ranked according to international standards. The most talented and highest ranked ensembles, which could be choirs, bands or orchestras, are invited to perform in the Festival at Carnegie Hall. Two years ago, the Regi band made it to this top level. According to the Heritage Festival website, Festival at Carnegie Hall gives the most elite choirs, bands, and orchestras the opportunity to perform on the Ronald O. Perelman Stage in the Isaac Stern Auditorium, the largest performance venue at Carnegie Hall, and learn under the direction of internationally acclaimed adjudicators and conductors. After the musicians proved themselves in many locations, doors opened for them, including Carnegie Hall in 2013. “In the past three years, we’ve had some phenomenal trips to Chicago’s Orchestra Hall,

Carnegie Hall in New York, and the Strathmore in Washington,” said Johnston. “So we felt we needed to up the ante if we could. But how do you top Carnegie Hall? I’m not sure you can, but I thought London could equal that.” He said that what he thought would be a good trip exceeded everyone’s expectations. “The planning to get there was more difficult,” he said. “It wasn’t just a bus trip. We had to plan an overseas trip and it was only the festival’s second time running it in London. But the reaction of the students being there in that setting, they fell in love with the place. I wondered if it was just going to be another big city trip for them. But this was a very special experience for them to go to Europe and live in a different culture.” He gave an example of some

of the girls who went for lunch in Windsor and quickly realized they weren’t at home in Canada. “One of the girls asked if they had iced tea,” said Johnston. “The guy said, ‘No, this is England.’” He explained that the organizers of the tour helped make the whole experience positive. “We had two fantastic tour guides,” he said. “They met us at the airport, then took us to everything and kept us well informed. They knew all the nooks and crannies. They even took us on the tube (subway). Some days we had our own private double decker bus to tour the city.” It was also a special trip for Johnston. It was his first trip back to London since completing his Master’s Degree at the University of London. Still jet-lagged on their second

day, the band had to perform. They were on their game. “There was great adjudication,” said Johnston. “It was a good learning experience musically. The concert hall was superb and we received the gold standard at the awards ceremony. At some festivals there isn’t a lot of interaction between student groups, but they got to socialize and meet students from California and New York.” This was the first time that a Regi ensemble performed in Europe. “This was important for the students to realize we were representing more than just Regi,” said Johnston. He got in touch with Kingston’s mayor, the premier, and representatives at the school board. Continued on page 18

He heard back from most with letters of support. He even received a message of well wishes from Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, whose message said: “Music is the most ancient and truly international language joining us all. Good luck to everyone in the Regiopolis-Notre Dame Senior Concert Band with your travel and concert in London!” “We made a display board at school so the kids could see that this trip goes beyond them,” said Johnston. “I told them, ‘You guys are representing our school, province and country.’”

In addition to the band performing in England, the entire tour focused on the arts and cultural events. “There were some highlights like seeing Billy Elliott (the musical),” he said. “What’s great about that show is that it touches on the dance aspect of a boy’s life as well as the miners strike in England. You see what life was like in northern England in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Sometimes in a musical the storytelling is rushed. But the pacing in Billy Elliott was perfect. It made me believe in the West End, not that I didn’t before, but it gave a real appreciation.” Other highlights included visits to the Tower of London, Big Ben and

1949 Prefect a perfect blend of old and new

R0013239635

Lifestyle –The British-built 1949 Ford Prefect owned by Claude and Irene Dube of Harrow, Ontario, is an awesome award-winning street rod. Claude’s wife Irene found the car in Amherstburg in 2006. It needed a lot of work and this would be Claude’s first experience at building a street rod. The transformation took seven years. He repaired the front fenders, hood, and inner fenders, made new running boards, added one inch to the rear fenders, frenched in the licence plate and a pair of 1932 Ford taillights, reskinned the trunk lid, and reworked the shape of the doors to fit the openings. He fabricated a new floor and tunnel, tubbed the rear wheels, raised the trunk floor for the custom gas tank, built a new fabricated frame, and installed a custom Mustang II front end with coilovers and sway bar. Claude cut 21 inches off the 9-inch Ford rear end, installed Bear axles, a 4-link setup with panbar and coilovers, and a rear sway bar. He also installed a custom interior, complete with coffee cup holder!

Now finished, it has won 17 trophies out of 19 shows. Claude made most of the missing parts himself. The car has been rebuilt as a resto-rod with a 350 Chev V8 crate engine and 700R4 transmission. The front wheels are 15-inch and rear wheels 17-inch to give the car a slight rake. The Mustang II front end provides independent front suspension. The body has been channeled over the custombuilt frame and the entire car has been repainted a dazzling Sea Moss Green.

The first time out, Claude’s car won Best of Show at the Canadian Street Rod Nationals held in nearby LaSalle, Ontario. At another show the same year, his car won People’s Choice. At this rate of winning, we predict that Claude will soon have to build extra shelves in his garage to accommodate all the trophies. And this car is driven, not trailered. Last summer, the car travelled 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles) to car shows and cruise nights, including Sarnia and the ones held regularly at the Canadian Transportation Museum at nearby Heritage Village
