Public question period question draws considerable debate but goes nowhere By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News – Essentially, the vast majority of changes to Central Frontenac Township’s procedure bylaw have been rubber stamped by Council as they’re mostly updates and things like changing the meeting formats. However, one aspect of meetings formats that came up at the regular Council meeting last week in Sharbot Lake sparked what was one of the longer debates in the mandate of this particular Council, and Coun. Norm Guntensperger wasn’t even in attendance. Things started off innocently enough, with CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson mentioning somewhat matterof-factly “you may want to consider adding some parameters to the public
addressing Council.” Donaldson suggested a note or two on such things such as comments on issues not on the agenda, and Coun. John Purdon used the opening to suggest a formal public question period be added to each agenda at the end, like Frontenac County has adopted. (Note: since the policy has been adopted at County Council, not one member of the public has used it, even the three reporters that normally cover the meetings.) “The County policy is as time permits and the questions have to be about an issue that’s on the agenda,” Purdon said. “We have pretty good access to Council for the public but my concern is that if you open some things up to the public, we could end up with much longer debates,” said Donaldson.
It seemed every councilor had an opinion to express on the matter. “I have no problems with being more open to the public,” said Dep. Mayor Frances Smith. “But I do have a problem with five different people speaking on five different issues. “We used to have a policy to allow people to speak on a subject being debated with the blessing of Council. “I liked that.” “As it is now, we ask the public to give us something in writing if they want to address Council,” Donaldson said. “We ask them to give us an idea of what their comments will be and from that we can pretty much tell if they’ll be five minutes or 20 minutes. “Questions from the audience take out some of that vetting process.” Coun. Heather Fox agreed.
“If somebody comes to Council at the last minute with a question we don’t have an answer for, then they’re going to go away even more frustrated than when they came in, even if we tell them to come back in two weeks for an answer,” Fox said. Donaldson said there could be some mechanism written into procedure for public input once a motion is read. “If we do that, we may as well move our beds in here with some issues because there will be some long nights,” said Smith. “If we went with that, we’d have to make sure each comment/question is made only once,” said Coun. Jeff Matson. In the end, a straw vote suggested Council didn’t want a public question period.

COUNTY PUBLIC MEETING
R0012670685
Gazette News – Central Frontenac Township is looking at revamping its procedures when it comes to properties in tax arrears, as Treasurer Michael McGovern presented a report to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. In his report, McGovern said: “The municipality is authorized under The Municipal Act (sections 371 to 389) to commence the tax sale process on any properties that fall into four years in arrears (the current year plus three years in arrears).” McGovern’s summary shows that there are currently 132 properties in tax sale position, with $1,030,895 in tax arrears. Of these, 32 are currently in different stages of tax sale, payment arrangements have been made for 27, 68 have had final notices before proceeding to tax sale mailed April 3, 2014 and there are five properties to be investigated before commencing the tax sale procedure. CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson said there are a lot of different reasons why a property would fall into tax arrears and they’re trying to take them on a case-by-case basis. “With some, we’re working with various agencies to make arrangements,” he said. “There are some where people just simply walk away from the property. “And there are also some that have Canada Revenue Agency liens against them.” “Maybe the CRA will pay the taxes,” joked Dep. Mayor Frances Smith. “I doubt that,” said McGovern. The bottom line, said Donaldson, is that the Township tries to work something out with the land owner before proceeding with tax sales. “Talk to our staff if you’re having trouble paying your property tax,” he said. “There can be many payment options. “We mainly just want to know there is still someone out there who has a vested interest in the property.” Mayor Janet Gutowski wondered if there might be another solution than to simply try to sell properties the Township assumes. “We haven’t really started putting away land in a trust for things like Habitat For Humanity,” Gutowski
said. “A lot of the properties, we wouldn’t want,” Donaldson said. “Like the ones that have oil and/or gas tanks on them. “But, staff in all departments are aware of this and on the lookout for properties that might be good for things like fire stations or public works garages. “The Township can bid on properties just like any citizen can.” ••• Council also approved a reduction in assessment on one property in the Township based on what it called a “gross manifest error” by MPAC. The reduction dates back to the 2008 assessment and affects all phased-in amounts.
You’re invited to attend a public meeting on the County of Frontenac Draft Strategic Plan on Thursday May 15th, from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm, The Grace Centre, 4295 Stage Coach Rd, Sydenham. Come and provide your input to County Council. All are Welcome.

Kingston celebrates inaugural First Responders Day By Mandy Marciniak

2014: I am Ready. We are Ready.
Gazette News – If you passed by Confederation Park on the morning of May 1, you may have wondered what was going on at City Hall – nearly a dozen fire trucks, ambulances and police cars were parked outside the building with their lights flashing. Luckily, it wasn’t an emergency, it was an event of celebration and recognition. Back in December, right around the time of the Princess Street fire, legislation was passed at Queen’s Park to declare May 1 First Responders Day in Ontario. In honour of this day, media, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, community members and Deputy Mayor Jim Neill gathered to recognize all of the volunteers and professionals that serve Kingston each day. “Any of you who follow politics know that things in the legislature very seldom are unanimous, but the proclamation to declare this day as an annual event passed unanimously,” explained Neill. “I think this a great recognition for these services and it resonates especially here in Kingston because of the recent events. It was a sad way to put us on the map but we can take great pride in how our first responders performed.” Neill is councillor for the Williamsville District, where the December fire took place. He acknowledged that many of those being recognized worked long hours and dedicated a lot of time and energy to helping others on the days and weeks that followed the fire, making it even more appropriate to be thanking our first responders now. For clarification, first responders are those men and women who, in the early stages of an emergency, are responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence and the environment. They include police officers, firefighters, military personnel, paramedics, medical evacuation pilots, dispatchers, nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians and emergency managers. For the first responders in attendance on May 1, the day was really about being thankful for the recognition, something that is sometimes lacking in their jobs. “I think for everyone here, this day means that we can get together as emergency responders and be appreciated by the community,” said Steven Koopman, constable and media relations officer for the Kingston Police Department. “We realize that this is our job and our profession and we’re not asking for any special attention, but at the same time it is great to know that the province wants to recognize us.” Debbie Cooper, a Paramedic with Fron-
tenac Paramedic Services, saw the day as a much needed recognition for herself and her co-workers, who often don’t spend that much time with patients and therefore don’t generally receive as much recognition as other first responders. “Paramedics don’t have as much face time as police and fire do. We are in and out in most situations and nobody gets to see our faces and our influence in the same way, so we really appreciate this public attention,” added Cooper. “We are hoping that this day leads to even more recognition at the federal and provincial level, too. Having our faces out there and having people recognizing us is great.” Cooper also pointed out that paramedics only interact with a small percentage of the population, and while those people almost always say thank you and are extremely appreciative, the interaction is most likely due to a negative or traumatic event. First Responders Day allows her and her fellow paramedics an opportunity to interact with the community in a positive environment and also allows them to meet a larger number of people. Also prevalent at the event was a sense of community and interconnectedness, something that Koopman saw a great deal of after the fire. “The recent events in Kingston just showed how we can all come together and sometimes you see a fracture between community responders, but here in Kingston we have a real cohesion between all services and that is so great to see. We really appreciate each other and that is so important. We are happy to be celebrating the inaugural day out here in front of the public and the media and we are hoping that more people come out in coming years.”

Joyceville Public School receives generous grants to enhance their music program By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette News – For Dawn Diamond, music programs have always been very important. Just over a year ago, Diamond, a Grade 4/5 teacher at Joyceville Public School, approached her principal about starting a band at the school. The school had never had a band or an extended music program, but luckily for Diamond, principal Scott Morency agreed. Following this decision, Morency requested a grant from the Parent Council to rent instruments for the students to play. The school received $3,000 for rentals and Diamond started planning immediately. “We have a Grade 6/7 class and a 7/8 class and for them we offered a choice they could go with me for concert band which includes flute, clarinet, trumpets saxophones etc or they could go with our other teacher, Mr. Cahill who is a local musician and he could teach them rock band stuff,” explained Diamond. “It ended up with me having about 28 students and he has about 12 or 15, which is perfect because the concert band needs larger numbers. We piloted the program and it has been working really well so I decided to apply for a few grants that would allow us to have our very own instruments in the school.” Diamond never imagined the results from the grants would be so fantastic. The Joyceville Jayhawks received a $22,000 grant from the Pittsburgh Community Fund to purchase 30 new
instruments for the students. As if that wasn’t enough, the school also received a $10,000 donation from the Limestone Learning Foundation and the estate of Larry Gibson, which will be used to purchase even more instruments and materials. “These grants mean that every student that goes from Kindergarten to Grade 8 at this school will have the opportunity to play a musical instrument for three years in Grades 6 to 8, and that is fantastic,” said Diamond. “The students haven’t gotten the full gist of what is happening and I don’t think they will until they see all of the instruments. I am hoping that when they see them coming out they will get more excited and I’m sure I will too.” Students at the school have already fully embraced their band programs and even played their first concert a few weeks ago at the Pittsburgh Community Fund annual meeting. “They were very off the wall for the first couple of months but for their first concert they were great. They had a purpose and a goal they worked towards and it went really well. Now they all want to know when the next concert is. They want to play at the country fair at the end of May and they want to play for the parents and they are so excited to show off their new musical talents.” For Diamond, that really is the most rewarding part and she looks forward to expanding the music program at Joyceville even more in the years to come. She knows that she is also helping expand the music program at La
Salle Secondary school by providing them with incoming students that have a musical background now and that makes her even more excited for the
future. “I am so excited to see all of this happening especially in a really small school like ours. We have a lot going on
here and we really wanted to publically thank the Pittsburgh Community Fund and the estate of Larry Gibson for these amazing opportunities.”

In Our Opinion
Time to celebrate mom
Win-win a silly concept that more often ends up in lose-lose Craig Bakay Reporter
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Merton’s revelation is probably just an expansion on Scottish Enlightenment philosopher/economist Adam Smith in the mid-1700s. Both men essentially boiled things down to this — s**t happens. And if a philosophy doesn’t take this into account, then it’s doomed to fail. The win-win concept stems from a desire to express an accomplishment, a more polite form of bragging. This desire is quite strong, strong enough to cloud the kind of judgment that drives people to think things through a little further. There are many examples of such things in history, where something seemed like a good idea, only come back to bite the architects of it in the butt. For example, the CIA’s covert funding of the Afghan Mujahideen, which arguably led to the rise of AlQaeda. The introduction of rabbits to Australia for food is also often cited as an example as it led to a major pest problem. (Didn’t the Australians know about how proficient rabbits can be in the absence of major preditors?) Another favourite is the AfricanVice & Regionalbee. Publisher Mike Mount izedPresident (aka ‘killer’) In 1957, in an
Kanata Kourier-Standard
Gazette Column – Isn’t it about time we retired the ‘win-win’ concept? Disturbingly, people still seem to be wed to this tired idea, even though its futility has been shown time and time again. It sounded like a good thing at first — an exercise in feel-good that, on the surface, might be a desirable goal. But it’s so fraught with trapdoors that, in direct opposition to its supposed results, it borders on being downright silly. First of all, in order for there to be a winner, there has to be a loser. It’s a ying-yang, electron-proton, actionreaction kind of thing. If you have two winners, then you can bet your last nickel there will be two losers somewhere. What we’re talking about here is essentially the law of unintended consequences, a sociological maxim coined by Robert Merton in 1936.

effort to stimulate more honey production, African bees were introduced into the Brazilian honeybee population. They hoped to get a bee that would produce more honey like the African bee but with the passiveness of the domestic variety. What they got was a bee that makes less honey but is, if anything, more aggressive in its defense of the hive. Just how this happened and the extent of the problem is perhaps in question but it sure seems to be a lose-lose scenario. The other aspect of this is the idea that there are actually situation solutions that will benefit everybody. While it may be possible to create isolated situations that benefit more than one person, the higher the numbers get, the more likely there will be losers. There might be something that will benefit two participants, but the idea of “everybody wins� becomes less and less likely with every added participant. Lotteries may make millionaires of a few people, and the proceeds may make needed community or individual projects viable.

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, May 8, 2014
Gazette Editorial - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May, and that means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to celebrate Moms everywhere. Ever wondered where tradition of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day come from? North American Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day dates back to 1914, but the origins of the day of celebration go back even further. Examples of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day type traditions can be seen in the ancient Greek and Roman era, and in the UK where they celebrated Mothering Sunday dating back to the 1600s. North American Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day came about through the work of two women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis. Howe was an activist and poet and in 1870 she took to the streets in Boston with her proclamation for peace and a day that celebrated both peace and mothers. Howeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day took place in June and she worked tirelessly to make it catch on, but sadly the tradition faded. Luckily, Anna Jarvis had a similar idea, inspired by her own mother. Jarvis started up another Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in 1905 to honour her mother after she passed away. Jarvis sent carnations to a church service in Grafton, West Virginia to honor her mother. Carnations were her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite flower and she felt that they symbolized a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pure love. Soon after, Jarvis and her supporters wrote letters to people in positions of power lobbying for the official declaration of the Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day holiday. The hard work paid off. By 1911, Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was celebrated in almost every state in the Union and on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Today, the festival is celebrated on many different dates in 46 countries around the world. People take the day as an opportunity to pay tribute to their mothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, stepmothers, aunts and any other motherly figures and thank them for all their love and support. The day has become hugely popular and in several countries phone lines witness maximum traffic. While the day, like many holidays, has become extremely commercialized, it is still very important to remember how it came about and the meaning behind it. So make sure you give your mom the attention she deserves this coming Sunday.

A GUIDE TO CULINARY HAPPENINGS AND SEASONAL FOOD
Best Deli in the west end Columnist
Gazette Lifestyle – Fast, friendly and healthy. Keith’s Deli is the west end’s best-kept secret. Located at 645 Gardiners Road, it’s a great choice for take away or eat in when you desire an appetizing lunch. People line up for lunch from the cafeteria-style deli for thick, tasty sandwiches, delicious soups and fresh, crunchy salads. Long before there was a donut shop on every corner, Keith’s Deli has served up healthy, quick options. Many choose so-called healthy options through a drive thru window, but as the customers at Keith’s confirm: nothing beats a freshly made sandwich from Keith’s counter. My days are often full, juggling work and family life. If I forget to pack a lunch, my stomach begins to rumble and scream for food. Recently, I found myself in just this predicament, darting across the west end looking for a place that serves tasty, homemade food. Keith’s Deli jumped out for its very local look and feel. Sadly, I had forgotten Keith’s around the same time I started working downtown and discovered the Golden Rooster. My visits to the west end limited to a movie or brief shopping trip. As soon as I pulled up to the familiar deli, the mouth-watering egg salad sandwich came to mind
and I kicked myself for not being back sooner. The deli has a home-style feel to it with its plastic tables and chairs; newspaper and magazines are available for your reading pleasure. It’s clean, comfortable and offers quick, healthy food. Not many places serve up traditional sandwiches any more. The good old-fashioned egg salad, ham and cheese, roast beef, smoked meat and chicken salad have largely been replaced with stuffed paninis and focaccia, or worse, pre-wrapped subs. I was thrilled to see Betty behind the counter, still slathering butter on bread before adding meat and toppings. She smiled that familiar smile she has shown countless visitors. While she doesn’t know me, I feel like I know her. That’s the thing about Keith’s Deli - you get the same service every time. There are no surprises. I ordered the special: cream of broccoli soup and the egg salad sandwich on whole grain. The bread did not appear homemade, but it was fresh. I have a thing for egg salad on sandwich bread. More often than not, these tasty morsels are only found at a funeral or the dreaded baby shower. (Yes, I just said that baby showers are worse than funerals.) My sandwich was stacked high with fresh egg whipped together with the perfect balance of seasoning and fresh
spring onions. One bite sent it oozing out the sides, but I managed to eat every last morsel. Keith’s offers a traditional deli menu, including a variety of salads, sandwiches and other hot foods such as, lasagna, mac and cheese and homemade soups. A catering service is also available. You can pre-order online at keithsdeli.ca or by calling 613-389-7015 for your next small or large event.
There were few changes at Keith’s since my last visit. They now have free wi-fi, something every business should make available to customers. The deli changed ownership five years ago. It is no longer owned by its namesake, Keith, but you will happily discover that with owner Jason Song (and of course, Betty), it still doesn’t miss a beat. Same menu, same great service. In fact, they ask their customers to stay the same too.
There is a sign at the counter which reads: “Please put your cellphone away. Paying attention to someone when they are talking to you? There is an app for that, it’s called respect.” I missed this place. If you have a restaurant suggestion or foodie biz you would like me to check out please email ladydinesalot@gmail.com or follow me on Facebook or my blog Ladydinesalot. com.

of John Logan’s Red, about artist Mark Rothko, director Charlotte Gowdy has crafted a play that appeals to children, while keeping adults entertained. Too many times, companies try to reduce children’s theatre to what they think is the lowest common denominator, thus dumbing down what should remain an intelligent art form. Not so with this fable about being different. It maintains its intelligence and wit. In Bird Brain, a woodcutter lives in Hat Street, a place burdened with arbitrary rules and regulations housed in a monster-sized book. The man finds a nest
By Mark Bergin Columnist
Gazette Lifestyle – This year’s Thousand Islands Playhouse Young Company production, Bird Brain, is a fun romp for children and adults. But beneath the surface lie some serious positive messages. A good script by Vern Thiessen, based on the story by Albert Wendt, combined with a strong cast and top notch directing brings the quality we expect from this professional company, which tours the show throughout Ontario.

of cold baby birds and gives them shelter under his hat. Rather than abide by hat rules, he refuses to ever remove his hat for fear of hurting the birds. Everyone’s against his social uniqueness. He runs into legal trouble for his choices and could suffer a severe penalty. This comic play is about choices we make. The woodcutter chooses to do what is right rather than follow laws and social norms. But, like in life, there is a price to pay for doing what is morally right. Bird Brain offers a wonderful way to encourage discussion about kindness, diversity, critical thinking and courage. Charlotte Gowdy understands children. In a discussion with the actors after the play she noted: “Children are really smart; you have to stay one step ahead of them. If you undermine them and think they are dumb, you are going to lose them.” Jan Le Clair, principal of First Avenue Public School in Kingston, said she invites the Young Company to her school for a number of reasons. “Theatre helps students think outside the box and it captivates the audience,” she said. “You can’t shut theatre out when it’s happening in front of you. It lets kids try on new hats and think about ‘who am I?’ A creative outlet is a very important thing.” She explained that the school has an anti-bullying program that is role-play and story based. “This kind of theatre fits right in. It really gives the kids a chance to access parts of themselves in a playground situation but in a theatrical dramatic role. And it’s a safe, controlled situation to rehearse
DAYTRIPPER social role playing and problem solving in a theatre and drama class.” She noted that the play’s celebration of diversity and compassion are consistent with the school’s philosophy. “The arts have the power to heal. Theatre, art and all creative processes give a voice to something a child might not be able to express. It involves self-exploration and healing.” Gowdy said she loves the play because it has a great message but doesn’t preach. “The important thing about doing theatre for kids, and for everyone, is that you’re offering a forum where it’s okay to feel,” she said. “So often we’re in situa-
tions, for example at a bank, where we’re not allowed to feel anything. So kids come to the theatre and we tell them you’re allowed to feel. We want you to feel the joy, the pain, the human connection.” She also noted that there is a subversive side to this particular play. “The subversiveness is in the encouragement to be critical thinkers,” she said. “The woodcutter follows his heart instead of the rules. The audience gets quite involved. We cheer for the fools instead of locking them up.” “The play talks about universal themes,” said actor Alexandra Montagnese. “These are things kids really inden-
Places to explore and things to experience
tify with. The Montreal actor said this is her first time appearing in a children’s show. She said theatre is a positive experience for children. “They’re not asked to look at a screen on their own,” she said. “They’re asked to witness a performance with one another and to work with us in that space.” Dylan On, a Queen’s University drama student, added that it’s not like watching a 3-D movie. “Theatre is more authentic,” he said. “There’s something about seeing that little birds nest that is more authentic. It helps provide a space for kids to enjoy
their imagination.” “Theatre is a reflection of life,” added Luke Brown, who plays the woodcutter. “It’s important to take time to witness the human condition on stage while other people tell the story. There’s something really magical that happens when someone tells a story. Children connect to it. In Bird Brain, during the journey, I’m going through such hard times, but I come out on top in the end.” The cast members each have extensive stage experience and work well as a complementary team. “This show had an extra little zest,” said Le Clair. “You could just feel their energy.

This production was good for a variety of reasons: We talk a lot at this school about setting goals for oneself, and why we learn what we learn at school. It’s good to show kids that they could do this for a living.... Having things like this gives them some extra things to enjoy. This helps keep them focused and creative. It gives them some really enriched learning moments.” In the Q & A session after the play, the children’s attention was obvious. There was silence as they asked questions and the actors answered. An actor’s finger pointed toward a girl in a grey shirt. “You, in the grey shirt.” She looked down to see what color she was wearing before asking her question. “Who wrote the play?” she asked, and got her answer, learning that the playwright is a Governor General’s Awardwinning Canadian writer who now lives in New York City. The boy in a red shirt asked, “Why do you dress like that.” Montagnese answered. “This is called a costume. It means that where we exist when acting in a play is our world. It’s someone’s job at the Playhouse to make all of these costumes. She took our measurements, even how long our arms are and made all the clothes with a sewing machine.” Girl in blue: “How do you get dressed so fast when you change?” Montagnese : “That takes lots of practice.

Spring grading continues, Henderson Road facelift approved By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Central Frontenac Council approved the tender to rehabilitate 4.9 kilometres of Henderson Road at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Public Works Manager Mike Richardson recommended the Crainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Construction Ltd. bid of $571,039.50 plus HST for the job, which involves the stretch from the hamlet of Henderson, to halfway between Veeley Road and Shorts Road. Richardson said the project involves ditching, culvert replacement, rock removal, granular B and A and double surface treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The approved budget for the project is $640,000,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the bid price being lower than the budget, the budget should remain as it is because there will be extras for granular B, ditching and additional culverts based on how poorly the road stood up to the harsh winter and wet spring.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When do you anticipate construction will start?â&#x20AC;? asked Mayor Janet Gutowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing Crains, they may have it
Got Events?
done by the time I get up from here,â&#x20AC;? joked Richardson. But, before Richardson could get up, there were the inevitable questions about potholes and grading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of us (councilors) have been getting calls on grading,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Wayne Millar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All four graders are out constantly and we have three others that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve contracted to help out,â&#x20AC;? Richardson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did that (contracted for the additional three graders) last year also and it worked out pretty well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into our fifth day of grading and it usually takes upwards of 10 days.â&#x20AC;? Richardson did, however, admit to one faux pas on the grading assignments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did grade one road today that we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It turned out it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t 100 per cent thawed and we turned it into mush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did notify the one resident on the road and luckily, she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there until after weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it right.â&#x20AC;? Gutowski, on the other hand, noted that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had â&#x20AC;&#x153;very few callsâ&#x20AC;? this year, despite the weather, and cited the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hotlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; system as the likely reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hotline system seems to be working,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people like to have a specific number they can call about roads.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve listened to every one of them,â&#x20AC;? Richardson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, we can thank our lucky stars we were more fortunate this spring than many of our neighbouring municipalities who experienced heavy flooding,â&#x20AC;? Gutowski said. And speaking of flooding, Richardson took a minute to praise the work NEW of the Oso Fire De! tachment for their prompt assistance in the rescue of a family at the end of Burke Settlement Road last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a dire situation when I headed up there, but when I got there, I called the fire department because it was getting worse as we were standing there,â&#x20AC;? Richardson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The firefighters were there in record time and did a great job.â&#x20AC;?

Taoist Tai Chi sessions starting up again in Sharbot Lake for summer sessions By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to find balance and to be comfortable in the Taoist Tai Chi that you do. Just keep doing it. Continuing to do it is the most important factor. Remembering the 108 moves will come with time. Have fun.â&#x20AC;? Sharbot Lake instructor John Pariselli doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where that quote came from, but he has it tacked up on the information board. For him, it sums up what Taoist Tai Chi is all about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always try to keep it in mind,â&#x20AC;?
he said at the open house last week in Sharbot Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oso Hall. The open house was the last one for area Tai Chi societies as the new session begins May 7 and runs through the end of August. The cost is $135 for adults and $105 for seniors 60+ or 55 and retired, and students. (You can call Pariselli at 613-279-2662 for more information.) While Tai Chi shares some aspects with martial arts (some of the moves are called punches, parries and kicks) Pariselli said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not officially considered one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came from the martial arts and
100 years ago, it was restricted to a small group of people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families passed these traditions on and they were developed for the health benefits.â&#x20AC;? So, what is Taoist Tai Chi? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the forms developed by Taoist monk Moy Lin-shin, who was born in China but immigrated to Toronto, where he began incorporating principles of Lok Hup Ba Fa and other internal arts into the present Taoist Tai Chi forms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tai Chi is like a buffet,â&#x20AC;? Pariselli said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most of us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the (physical) health benefits, but as a society, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t separate mind from body and many people
report relief from stress and depression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about giving to others, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why instructors are not paid. You should be instructing because it comes from the heart.â&#x20AC;? The giving part also takes other forms. The society is a registered charity that helps out other charities, such as the Salvation Army. But, Pariselli said, one of the central aspects of Taoist Tai Chi is that people should do it for themselves first, and not worry about what others are doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I retired, it was just too easy to do nothing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I thought
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Tai Chi) for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my body I have to be concerned about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about what others can do, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about what my body can do.â&#x20AC;? He said he thinks Tai Chi is more â&#x20AC;&#x153;accessibleâ&#x20AC;? to most people than other workout systems like yoga, because of the low-impact aspects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also fun and certainly in Sharbot Lake, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very strong sense of the social aspect,â&#x20AC;? he said. The sessions in Sharbot Lake run every Wednesday morning from 10 a.m. to noon at Oso Hall, with some outdoor

Derby Girls roll into their fifth season Date: March 19, 2014
By Kelly Reid Reporter
Gazette News - This Sunday, Kingston is invited to the home opener double header of the Kingston Derby Girls, a roller derby league of 50 women that got its start in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very family-friendly and diverse,â&#x20AC;? says competitor Sandra Deevious from the Skateful Dead team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody comes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great.â&#x20AC;? The double header will have KDG teams Skateful Dead and Rogue Warriors facing off, followed by KDGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disloyalists against Les Duchesses from Quebec City. The latter game is something of a grudge match, says Disloyalist skater Timbit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we played a good game against them in Quebec City, but they took the point.â&#x20AC;? Now, the Disloyalists will have home court advantage. For the uninitiated, the teams promise
To: 1000 Islands Docks Attn: Al 12496 aAcct: rollicking event on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of physicality,â&#x20AC;? says Deevious. Timbit adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full contact, fast paced, and very exciting. I heard someone describe it once as kind of like playing chess while someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throwing bricks at you. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about right.â&#x20AC;? Along with the derby matches, the opener will also have half-time games, commentators, a beer tent from the Mansion and a full merchandise table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entirely volunteer-run, too,â&#x20AC;? Deevious goes on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to acknowledge their support. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without them.â&#x20AC;? Timbit, who has been playing with KDG since the first season and now sits on the board of directors, hopes that this year the league will come closer to reaching some of its long-term goals. For instance, KDG hopes to reach full certification with the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, KDG is in the first year
CHARLESTON LAKE PP 2014 INFORMATION GUIDE
of an apprenticeship league,â&#x20AC;? Timbit explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we reach full-fledged status, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see more travel for games, more tournaments, international ranking and an overall higher level of play.â&#x20AC;? Even as an apprentice league, though, Deevious says that KDG has plenty of support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As one of the smaller leagues, we have some of the highest turnout there is. For past home openers, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen as many as 800 people come out.â&#x20AC;? Both Timbit and Deevious fell in love with the sport after trying it out for a season, not sure what to expect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I
was just hooked,â&#x20AC;? says Timbit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was never a big sports person, but derby is an activity where any skater is useful on the track.â&#x20AC;? Timbit joined as a way of meeting people in the community, and instantly found a sense of camaraderie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have something in common, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the love of the sport.â&#x20AC;? Deevious agrees, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a wide range of ages and abilities, and we make it work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great to see so many women
enjoying themselves.â&#x20AC;? Doors for the home opener open at 5:30 at the Memorial Centre, with the first whistle at 6:30. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door, and are available from the Mansion, Chumleighs, Novel Idea, Blossoms Kingston, or online.

Gazette News – Prince Edward County’s Marc Seguin , a founding member of the Organization “Save our Lighthouses” has had a life long interest in Canadian history and has a passion for Canada’s built heritage. “ Thank you for the opportunity to speak about the fascinating past, but the uncertain future of lighthouses in this area of Lake Ontario,” he said at a gathering of the Wolfe Island Historical Society. The Township of Frontenac IslandsSimcoe Island is home to the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse. In his presentation Marc said the Main Duck Island Lighthouse, built in 1914 was the last of 40 built on Lake Ontario. “This was perhaps the greatest concentration of lighthouses constructed anywhere in the world, and each of them has a story to tell in our history, about who we are and where we have been,” he said. “Now there are only seven and many of these are threatened.” He pointed out architectural differences, and types of construction,
(height, octagonal, number of lamps, cement, wood, steel plate etc.) of the lighthouses built in the 1800- 1900’s as well as the many variables and dangers to the navigation of Lake Ontario including a lack of charts, and magnetic compass problems. Seguin noted that these lighthouses played a key role in the history of Canada at a time when transportation by water was vital for the economy, long term growth and survival of the country. Now, however, with modern equipment and modern navigation technology, “lighthouses have been relegated to a back up position at best,” he said. He presented a fascinating history of the many lighthouses that stretched from Kingston Harbour to Presqu’ile Point, why they were built, about the perils of ships guided by them, and why their lights were so important to Canada then, to what they have been replaced with now. In the final period of his presentation, Seguin focused on the last lighthouses, those declared surplus, or of heritage value and Simcoe Island’s 40 foot, Nile Mile Point Light House (built
in 1833), and their preservation. “Parks Canada has no intention of acquiring anymore lighthouses,” he quoted from them. With regard to Nine Mile Point, he said it is the oldest longest continuously active lighthouse in the Great Lakes, “a national treasure” that should be preserved. “It is doable,” he said. It was suggested the township had rejected a request for assistance in preserving the lighthouse made by the Preservation of the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse committee. As the Q&A began, Mayor Doyle, who was in the audience, clarified the townships position. “We never refused to assist the group,” he said. “ What came to council was a report from our (then acting) CAO commenting on the group’s business plan and recommending that we take a serious look at it because, in his opinion it would cost the township $20,000 a year to keep the lighthouse going, and possible environmental issues. While I doubt it would be that much, that’s where it stands now. We have not heard from them but the discussion is still OPEN. We now have a new CAO ,” he said.
Simcoe Island’s Yelda Miedema, from the Preservation committee, said he is aware of the May 2015 deadline when decisions will be made on preservation of selected lighthouses noting two business plans for the lighthouse.” Ours was not considered satisfactory by the Heritage committee because it does not state that the township would be the principal owner,” he said. “We are incorporating as a charitable organization so we can raise funds. We would love to have the township involved, but if not, we hope to move ahead.” Marc was very encouraging that the committee is moving fast. He also suggested a petition to the Federal Government through the local MP (but not for money) for preservation of history. He is writing a history of Eastern Ontario Light Houses. 2. Frontenac Islands council has completed deliberations with regard to the preparation of the township’s 2014 budget. A by-law to adopt the budget will be passed at the regular monthly meeting of council, on Wolfe Island, Monday, May 12, 2014 at 6:30 pm . The agenda will be posted on the website.

What’s old is new again: Stone City Ales brings craft beer to Kingston By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
in Ottawa. “He’s a very skilled craft brewer and be brings a lot of really neat ideas. When I met him he said, ‘I want us to make beer that stands out not just in Kingston, but anywhere’.” Stone City will start out with four different styles of beer, each with its own logo and branding: a stout called “Ships in the Night”; a pale ale called “12 Stars Session Ale” (a reference to the 12 stars that still grace the old Kingston Brewery building on Wellington Street); an IPA called “Uncharted”; and a
Belgian wheat beer called “Whitecaps” (in tribute to Lake Ontario on a windy day). “People will be able to buy tshirts with the logos on them,” Shore says. “They’ll have nice graphics. A large part of craft beer is people love the merchandise. People connect with it and it’s more than the beer. It’s the whole identification with what it signifies.” He remarks that he’s already been overwhelmed by the community’s response to and support for the brewery. “I think that the overwhelming
attraction is that it’s a connection to something real and simple,” he says, adding that “Kingston, for better or for worse, has a reputation of being fairly conservative. People new to Kingston have a hard time fitting in and feeling accepted and I think that needs to change. There’s a whole bunch of local food and local craft people who are beginning to change all of that and we want to be part of this larger movement.” To learn more, find Stone City Ales on Twitter at @StoneCityAles, like them on Facebook and visit www.stonecityales.com.

Gazette News – Nineteenth century Kingston could be described as a sudsy utopia. The city played host to up to four breweries at one time (and seven in total over the course of the century), with everybody from the lowest chimney sweeps to the top political brass imbibing locally-brewed beer and whiskey. Through his new craft brewery, Stone City Ales, Ron Shore hopes to reclaim a part of this past, while at the same time embracing the new craft beer movement that’s sweeping across North America. “Kingston was long overdue for this”, he says, explaining the idea of opening up a craft brewery had been in his head for quite some time, but didn’t really seem like something that could become a reality until he lost his long-time job in the healthcare field quite suddenly last year. “When I lost my job at three days notice it took me a little while to lick my wounds and then I thought, ‘this is my opportunity’. And it’s been really good. From a business model perspective it was such a big open market, and we knew that there was a thirst for it and a really strong demographic in Kingston between the students and the downtown professionals and the increasing number of women drinking beer because of craft beer.” Along with business partners Eric and Rebecca Dinelle, Shore will open Stone City Ales at 275 Princess St. this July. In tribute to the return, of sorts, to Kingston’s
brewing tradition, name of the business is intended to be both a nod to the past and a look to the future. “We’re returning to the tradition of local brewers and lots of different recipes,” says Shore, noting that the craft beer movement is a conscious step away from the big, mass-produced brands that have been mainstays in Canadian coolers for decades. “I didn’t want another ‘Limestone City’ business. I didn’t want another ‘First Capitol’. We wanted to send the message that the brewery is a different kind of business. One of our missions is to [bridge the economic and cultural divides in Kingston]. Craft beer brings people together because the demographics are so diverse. That’s what we need.” Shore adds that these days, “people like knowing how and where something is made,” and as such customers at the brewery will be able to witness their beer being brewed through glass walls. “You will see how this beer is made, for better or worse,” he laughs, noting that it can be quite a messy process. The brewery will also include a tap room, where customers can drink beer and order meals made with food sourced from local farmers. People will also be able to purchase beer in reusable bottles and growlers. Of course, the beer itself is the star of the show. To make sure he got the recipes just right, Shore hired Justin daSilva, who comes from Beyond the Pale craft brewery

Spring cleaning brought new life into Mary’s childhood home Mary Cook
Columnist

Gazette Lifestyle - The signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there. Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring. Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts. Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung
out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter. And the windows, grimy from the long months when it was impossible to clean them, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar. The windows were ready for the warm weather. When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house...one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts...many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue...now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been

washed over the winter. The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey. Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up his combinations only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting. There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next, and I was always amazed how Mother found space to tuck things away, sight unseen. Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing...always a chore for a warm sunny day. Then each piece examined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots re-

moved, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs. The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. And as soon as Mother got the itch to “turn the whole house upside down” as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day...a day better spent on the back fields. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering Oval be moved to the summer kitchen...rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall. But the biggest change to me, and the one I looked forward to most,
was when the parlour would be open for the summer. All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house. And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer! The last job was done. Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Mother’s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

investing in a garden that you will be happy with for a long time is a costly venture. You may want to consult a landscape architect or local nursery to find the plants and trees that fit with your design and lifestyle. These experts can also instruct you in how to maintain all of your hard work and when to expect

Style of the home Landscaping designs often tie into the architectural style of a home. For example, an extensive Asianinspired garden complete with koi pond and bonsai may look odd in front of a log home. Keep architecture in mind when planning a garden so the look of the home you present is cohesive and fits with the community and immediate vicinity.
allowed to grow as they may. Those who like a dreamy ethereal feel to their gardens may be inspired by cottage designs, where generously filled borders overflow into a flower and foliage paradise. If you are more inclined to follow the rules and like an orderly landscape, a parterre, or formal planting bed, may be more your style. When carefully pruned, box hedging can show off symmetry and geometry in your space. Some people are more focused on the accents in their gardens than the plants themselves. Modern architecture pairs well with a contemporary style that blends minimalist accents and easy-to-maintain plants. Although you can change plants in your garden, R0012078722
Climate and conditions The foremost consideration when planting a garden is the climate where the garden will be located. Planting items that are not conducive to growing in certain conditions can be counterintuitive and a waste of money and effort. Prospective gardeners must become familiar with the hardiness zones of their region prior to making any plans. This will help you to determine which types of plants will thrive on your landscape. Once this is determined, examination of the soil and conditions on the property is also helpful. Taking this step will help identify any plant deterrents, such as poor soil quality and pH as well as any pests that may impede
plant growth. If you live in a hot, sandy location, lush tropical plants may not thrive. Therefore, even if you desire a Mediterranean look, you may have to settle for something that works better with your landscape conditions.

A personal garden is only limited by the constraints of a person’s imagination. The vast array of plants and flowers available from all over the world can turn anyone’s yard into a melange of functional spaces. When designing a garden, many homeowners do not know where to begin. Much like decorating the interior of a home, how a garden landscape is executed depends on various factors.

How to guarantee your garden starts off on the right foot As winter slowly winds down, many gardeners cannot wait to soak up the springtime sun and get their hands dirty in the garden. Such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benefit the garden in the months to come as well. Late winter or early spring is a great time to get a head start on the gardening
season. Even if gardening season is still around the corner, completing the following projects can ensure your garden gets off on the right foot. Clear debris One of the best things you can do for your garden as winter winds down is to
clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often filled with debris once spring arrives. Dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely won’t take long, but it’s a great first step toward restoring the garden before the time comes to plant and grow the garden once again.

Examine the soil Soil plays a significant role in whether a garden thrives or struggles. Examining the soil before the season starts can help gardeners address any issues before they plant. Ignoring the soil until a problem arises can turn the upcoming gardening season into a lost opportunity, so test

Initiate edging Edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. Edge plant and flower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a flat blade or an edger designed to edge flower beds. Such tools will cut deep enough so grass roots that may eventually grow into the flower bed are severed. Depending on how large a garden is, edging can be a time-consuming task, so getting a head start allows homeowners to spend more time planting and tending to their gardens once the season hits full swing.
the winter, that does not mean they won’t return once the weather starts to heat up. But as inevitable as weeds may seem, homeowners can take steps to prevent them from turning beautiful gardens into battlegrounds where plants, flowers and vegetables are pitted against unsightly and potentially harmful weeds. Spring is a good time to apply a pre-emergent weed preventer, which can stop weeds before they grow. Though such solutions are not always foolproof, they can drastically reduce the likelihood of weed growth. Though gardeners might not be able to start planting their gardens in late winter or early spring, they can still get outside and take steps to ensure their gardens thrive once planting season begins.

the soil to determine if it has any nutrient or mineral deficiencies. This may require the help of a professional, but if a problem arises, you might be able to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and still enjoy a successful gardening season. Another way to examine the soil is less complex but can shed light on when would be a good time to get back to work. Reach into the soil and dig out a handful. If the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for gardening seasoning. But if the soil is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work.

The right watering can make all the difference in a lush lawn sult. When summer arrives, a lawn is best watered when temperatures are at their most mild. That often translates to early morning or early evening. An added benefit of watering when temperatures are on the mild side is less water will be lost to evaporation during this time, meaning you won’t be wasting water. * Situate sprinklers to conserve water. Homeowners who won’t be hand watering their lawns should make sure their sprinklers are placed properly throughout their property. Situate sprinklers so they aren’t watering driveways, walkways or patios. All of the water should be going to the grass, especially when drought restrictions are in place and the amount of watering the law allows is limited. It’s also important to make sure water from sprinklers isn’t being blocked from reaching the grass by trees. Homeowners with especially large trees on their property should consider hand watering the grass beneath such trees to ensure these areas receive adequate water. * Lean on mulch. Homeowners tend to fear drought for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that drought can cause a green lawn to turn
brown, potentially affecting property ter their own lawns.

Proper watering is essential when trying to restore or maintain a lush green lawn. If watered incorrectly, a lawn can be susceptible to a host of problems, including insect infestation, weak roots and disease. When watering a lawn, especially when temperatures start to soar in the summer, it’s easy to think a lawn needs more water and needs it during those hours of the day when the sun is at its most intense. However, those are two common misconceptions about watering. The following are a handful of tips for homeowners who want to help their lawns endure the summer heat and maintain their lush appeal into the fall. * Water when temperatures are mild. In the summertime, humans typically need water when temperatures are at their most extreme, but that does not mean lawns should be watered when temperatures soar. Water attracts the sun, so watering when temperatures are at their hottest, which is typically around midday and into early afternoon, will likely lead to brown spots indicative of a burned lawn. That’s because the sun will be drawn to the water, bearing down on the lawn and burning the grass as a reR0012658332

Weed out gardening myths from facts The following are some of the more common myths associated with gardening. * MYTH: Compost tea is more effective than traditional compost. All over North America and the United Kingdom, gardeners have jumped on board the compost tea bandwagon. Compost tea is a fertilizer created by steeping compost in water mixed with sugar in brewing kits.
R0012682720
The mixture is allowed to sit and aerate to encourage beneficial organism growth before it is sprayed on plants. According to supporters, compost tea suppresses disease and boosts plant yields. However, there is no evidence to suggest that compost tea works any better than adding compost in its normal state to the soil. In fact, leaving buckets of the “tea” around to ferment could actually create a breeding ground for E coli and other bacteria. * MYTH: Plants under stress should be fertilized. This is not the case. HortiGarden Centre and Farm Market culturists advise that fertilizing plants that are not deficient in nutrients can actually add to existing stress levels for plants. Plants are See our website for weekly specials! not often stressed www.silverbrookgardencentre.com by a lack of food, but rather heat, Quality annuals & perennials • Seeds • Soils Fertilizer • Planters • Much More! faulty planting or space constraints.

tivate, but some feel it’s best to add sand to the clay to make it a better soil mixture. You would need a great deal of sand to do this in the right manner, but many gardeners simply dig a hole, add sand and hope for the best. However, water runoff will pool in the sand and not be absorbed by the clay, potentially causing the plants to drown. * MYTH: Adding compost or potting soil to the planting hole for a tree or shrub is beneficial. Gardeners frequently add compost or potting soil to the hole where the root ball of a tree or shrub will be placed. But this encourages the roots to grow only in this nutrient-rich area, rather than spreading throughout the landscape to form a stronger and more durable root system. If you are going to amend the soil, do so evenly across the landscape. * MYTH: Use gravel or rocks in the bottom of planting containers to improve drainage. Rocks and gravel can actually impede the growth of plants and take away space for roots to grow. The drainage may be affected as well, as water will sit above the gravel or stones and saturate the roots. Stick with plain soil for better drainage results. A variety of gardening myths still prevail. Over time, behaviors can be changed if gardeners learn to separate myths from facts.

of defending against a blight or establishing better root systems. * MYTH: Young trees need stakes. It may be tempting to stake that little sapling to protect it against the weather and strong winds, but doing so may actually work against the foundling tree. Staking trees to inhibit swaying may not stimulate the tree to grow thicker, lower trunks that will help the tree in the long run. The Royal Horticultural Society recommends that saplings be staked for around one year and then have the stakes removed to encourage the tree to be strong and stable on its own. * MYTH: Water droplets and sunshine lead to burnt leaves. Gardeners have been told to resist watering their plants during the hottest times of the day. Many assume it’s because water droplets lying on leaves will magnify the sun’s rays and burn the leaves. According to Dr. Gabor Horvath at the Eoetvoes University in Budapest, water droplets will rarely damage plants because the drops are too close to the leaves to cause burning before they evaporate. Watering during the hottest points of the day is not advised because water evaporates and gets wasted. * MYTH: Sand added to clay soil makes it looser and better for plants. Clay soil is a deterrent to gardening because it can be so hard to dig and difficult to cul-

Gardening is an age-old activity that was once a necessity but has transformed into a hobby for thousands of people. While gardening still serves practical purposes, many gardeners still consider it a hobby first and foremost. Time-tested gardening techniques have prevailed, but there remain certain myths about gardening that are best dispelled.
Heart to Horse Connection invites you to celebrate mareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day Gazette Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you are having trouble finding the right way to celebrate mom this year, look no further. Dawn Sadler thinks she has the perfect event for you and your mom, especially if you enjoy nature and horses. Happy Mareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is being held on May 10 and the event invites families to come out to a horse farm in Kingston and learn more about Heart to Horse Connection, a group that was founded by Sadler in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all started when I realized I wanted to spend more time with a horse,â&#x20AC;? explained Sadler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A friend of mine had a horse at a farm and she asked the owner if any of the other horses needed company. I got matched up with Can Do, who was 26 and not rideable, which was perfect for me because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride.â&#x20AC;? Week after week, Sadler formed a relationship with Can Do, and began to sense that there had to be more people out there who wanted to spend time with horses, as well as more horses that needed company. Sadler started to explore training that would allow her to become a certified horse companion and as she spent more time with Can Do she wanted to share her experiences with other. She matched up a friend with Can Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend and continued on from there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I partnered up with a friend of mine and we created Heart to Horse Connection. We are in the process of creating [a training program through Equine Education] that will teach people how to care for horses and how to become
horse companions with an emphasis on relationships.â&#x20AC;? She adds that they also run Heartful Horse workshops for people who are unsure if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested but want to learn more. On Happy Mareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Sadler invites people to come out and see what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about. Activities run from 1 to 4 p.m. on May 10, and will showcase information about Heartful Horse workshops and Equine Education; it will also feature tours of the farm and an introduction to all of the horses. There will be demonstrations on
grooming, information about Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL) for personal development by Jocelyn Grey, demonstrations of Reiki for animal companions taught by Cheryl Heibert of Sacred Journey Healing Arts and a silent auction. The day will also include some vendors selling art and there will be a gate prize given out every hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just a fun afternoon where people can come out and see this beautiful horse farm and experience nature,â&#x20AC;? added Sadler, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like this a great opportunity for people who have always wanted to spend time with horses
and it also helps people who own horses and may need help in terms of care for whatever reason.â&#x20AC;? Sadler has seen great benefits during her time as a horse companion and although Can Do passed away last month, Sadler has already found a new companion in Liza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can Do taught me about loyalty and commitment and grounding. She was very steadfast and very reliable and at the time I had been around horses very little, but she made me comfortable. I gained calmness and tranquility by spending time with Can Do. An hour
with the horse feels like fourâ&#x20AC;ŚItâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an incredibly calming time.â&#x20AC;? The main focus or Heart to Horse is on non-riding connections and companionship and Sadler urges everyone to come check out the benefits, especially people that are retired or feel that they need companionship after their kids have moved out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suspect there are a lot of people who have loved horses from afar or since their childhood. This gives them an opportunity to reconnect with that love. Aside from riding there are very few opportunities to interact with horses and many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to commit to riding and learning those skills, they just want to hang out with the horses. They are great companions, just like dogs and cats.â&#x20AC;? Happy Mareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day takes place on May 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 1888 Hwy 2.

ENCHANTÉ
Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world
Mark Bergin
A touching healer By Mark Bergin Columnist
Gazette Lifestyle – A couple of weeks ago in a column about massage, I gave a shout-out to Elements Natural Therapies and Spa and raved about a massage therapist I see there, but I didn’t name her. I’ve received numerous messages asking who she is. Alyssa Green is the therapist and now that I’ve said she’s one of the best, I thought I’d better follow up with a column about her. When we chatted last week, it became clear that her talents extend far beyond massage. In addition to being a registered massage therapist (RMT), she’s also a doula. A doula is a woman experienced in childbirth who provides physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth. Recently, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologist (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM) released a study on Safe Prevention of Primary Caesarian Delivery. Here’s what they had to say: “Published data indicate that one of the most effective tools to improve labor and delivery outcomes is the continuous presence of sup-
port personnel, such as a doula. A Cochrane meta-analysis of 12 trials and more than 15,000 women demonstrated that the presence of continuous one-on-one support during labor and delivery was associated with improved patient satisfaction and a statistically significant reduction in the rate of cesarean delivery. Given that there are no associated measurable harms, this resource is probably underutilized.” Or, in the simpler words of Dr. John H. Kennel: “If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.” Alyssa traveled back and forth between Kingston and classes in Cambridge and Belleville to gain her accreditation as a doula. There are no legal requirements, but a doula can go through the training and gain optional certification. “We’re there to help explain what is happening,” she said. “We don’t have the emotional connection a partner does.

When I went for a recent massage, Alyssa had just participated as a doula during a birth a few days earlier. “I was there to support whatever decisions were made,” she said. “The big thing is informed choice. A doula is there for physical and emotional support, whether it’s massage or little things like making sure the mother and others stay hydrated.” But her eyes told the real story. Sparkles. “Those moments are magical when you see the change happening in such a short time. Single people become a couple and a family. When you get to see a mom hold her baby for the first time, I just love it.” She said her decision to enter massage therapy was fairly straightforward. “It was really a process of elimination,” she said. “I wanted originally to become a doctor and pathologist, but decided there was just too much school, money and time involved. I knew I wanted to go into something involving people. I didn’t want to be at a desk all day. I love human anatomy and biology. Massage therapy fit all the bill and I thought I’d give it a go. I decided that if I didn’t like it, I’d try something else. But I fell in love with it.” Continued on page 29

A touching healer
Lions Country Jamboree
have to stay focused. Also, it’s a physical activity and it’s outdoors, too.” From a personal perspective, I’ve gone for massage in many cities and countries. I’ve always valued it as a wonderful, drug-free method of stress relief and relaxation. When I first met Alyssa, my family physician had referred me to help deal with a neck/ shoulder injury. I was impressed with her thoroughness in checking medical background and a lot of old karate injuries that are taking their toll. But then came the real test: how does this softspoken woman do in the actual massage department. A massage therapist’s appearance will never be a reflection of her or his skill. I’ve had behemoths work on me and I wasn’t sure they were even touching me the pressure they used was so light. Alyssa has great strength, but she consistently checks in to see if the pressure is just right. She’s also a quiet person. I don’t know how else to describe her than a balanced and kind soul. That is reflected in how good she is at her work. I don’t often recommend anyone unconditionally. But Alyssa Green? That recommendation is unconditional. As good as I’ll find at a New York City or Hawaiian spa right here in Kingston.
Alyssa started working at Elements in February 2013. As a Registered Massage Therapist, she she sees a wide range of people. “They come in for all different reasons,” she said. “Some come for stress relief. Some for injuries or physical problems they’ve had. It keeps the day interesting.” She said there’s no real age limit for who can benefit from massage; she also likes to work with children and teens. “What we are taught is that once a child can understand informed consent, then they can have a massage alone,” she said. “However, if parents want to come in the room, that’s fine as well.” She explained that a lot of teens come in for help with stress. “If they’re having any emotional issues, things like pressure at school during exams, they can come in for stress relief. It’s an important part of overall care. It’s also very important for teens involved in dance or sports, which can be very taxing on their bodies.” She also specializes in massage for pregnant women. “If there’s a normal, healthy pregnancy, a woman can come anytime,” she said. “Once they’re past the first trimester, I like to put women in a side-lying position. Pillows can help support the belly and legs. “They might have hormonal problems, sleeping difficulty, nauseous headaches, anything. With a pregnant woman, when the body is adapting to a changing and growing baby, there can be a lot of lower back problems, sciatica, swelling in the feet. Massage therapy can help reduce overall stress.” She noted that sometimes the needs of the elderly aren’t addressed in our culture. “The elderly don’t have much touch,” she said. “Massage is very soothing for the elderly.” She explained that a lot of people don’t realize how much wear and tear there is on From their body every day. That’s especially true for those who are sedentary. “You’d be surprised how much pain people have when they sit at a computer,” she said. So, how does someone who constantly Quattrocchi’s Gift Baskets are a Thoughtful helps others deal with physical or emoGift for Mom on Mother’s Day! tional stress and pain de-stress herself? “I get massage when I can,” she said.

It’s a nice space with lots of birds and trees.” She also likes to ride and has two horses of her own. She’s been riding since she 4” Pot was a young child.

Kingston FC hoping for another successful season mmarciniak@thehritageemc.ca
scheduled for May 31 at the Queen’s West Campus field. All of the nine home games this season are on a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon and Abugov encourages families to come check out the games. “The price is great and you get two games for the cost, both the Reserve team and the First Division team,” added Abugov. “We are certainly the best soccer team this city has ever seen and last season we won 12 of our 13 games at home. It is a great sport that is growing and these guys are unbelievable soccer players. It is a good team we are building here and we are really proud of it.” Abugov is also looking for some community feedback this year in terms of creating a middle name for the team. “We are the Kingston FC but it may be time to add in a middle name there, for instance we have the Montreal Impact FC or Vancouver Whitecaps FC. We’d like to add something to our name that represents Kingston and inspires the players. If fans and readers want to come up with some ideas, that would be great. We’d Members of the Kingsotn FC team gathered at the ARC at Queen’s on April 30th to chat love the feedback and the input.” For a full schedule of games and to give about their upcoming season.

Gazette Sports – Whether you call it football or soccer, it’s back. The Kingston FC, now celebrating their third year in the Limestone City is back and ready for a winning season. After a rough first season and a very successful second season, the football club, which is part of the Canadian Soccer League (CSL), is hoping to keep the momentum going. “Our first season was a bit tough and we only won five out of 22 games, but in our second season we had a huge turn around,” explained Lorne Abugov, Majority Owner and Chairman of the team. “This year we have recruited a really strong group of players for both our First Division team and our Reserve Division team, so we are pretty excited about the season and we are really excited to get started.” New to the Kingston FC team this year are a number of international players, including 22-year-old Fergus Neil who recently arrived from New Zealand. Neil is excited to be part of a team with such great potential and hopes to see that translate into experience and wins. “I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more experience and see what it’s like in Canada. I had never been here before, but I like it so far,” said Neil. “I really like the style of soccer that we are going to be playing…I think the football is going to be at a high standard and that’s really exciting for me.” COACH & TOURS Also new to the team this year is German player Bryan Kommerowski, who is happy to be back playing football and excited to take on his own personal goal of winning every game this season. “For me it is better to play soccer than anything else so I was really excited to get this opportunity,” said Kommerowski. “I think it is a good Ed Sullivan Show - Wednesday, May 21/14 league and it has really high standards St. Jacobs - Saturday, May 24/14 and is very professional.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPES ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, even though your intentions are good, be careful with words this week. Rely on your actions and not just your words to convey the message.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, adjust your way of thinking to be more flexible. You should not always operate on a rigid schedule, but be more receptive to changes. Check with friends; see what they think.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Establishing a balance between humility and self-confidence is the key to being a well-rounded person, Libra. Therefore, don’t take the power of positive thinking to the extreme.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Use this week as a time for renewal, Capricorn. Set lofty goals because this will serve as a challenge in order for you to really shine -- and you thrive on challenges.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, you are absolutely sure your work week will go your way. Considering you weigh all the facts in decisions, there’s a strong chance you’ll be right.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, you are aware of what lies ahead, but you’re not eager to jump in and get started on the tasks that need your attention. Develop a plan and things will work out.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, although you are not overly excited about plans for the near future, you are capable of balancing fantasy with reality. Things will work out for the best.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, you may get caught up in your emotions about a certain person in your life. Take a step back and you’ll realize there’s no reason to get so excited.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, you are tempted to bend the truth a little this week. Be careful what you wish for, as it might be hard to recover a sense of trust if your actions are discovered.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, your confidence returns this week but you are still treading carefully so as not to be disappointed later on. Trust in yourself and you likely won’t be disappointed.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, this week you realize that you don’t have as many answers as you thought you had. You can look for other answers by being in touch with friends and family.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Pisces, once you start focusing on what you want to do next, you find you have the motivation to get anything accomplished.

We Walk the Line comes to Kingston just in time for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It has been just over 10 years since the death of leg-
endary musician Johnny Cash and during that decade countless performers have set out to imitate his sound and pay tribute to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;man in blackâ&#x20AC;?. One of these performers is Ward Cornforth,
and he is bringing his band and tribute show, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We Walk the Lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, to the Grand Theatre just in time for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Cornforth started singing Johnny Cash songs out of a love for music
and because his voice was too low for many other songs. After studying Cashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs for a number of years, he decided to start a band and from there â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We Walk the Lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put a band together about three years ago and the show has been progressing steadily,â&#x20AC;? said Cornforth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We added June Carter to the show and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing a lot of festivals and performing in a few theatres and it has been kind of a gradual process to this point. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve performed about 40 to 50 shows and we did about 18 last year. It is part time but we are hoping to perform at more theatres as we progress and maybe do a bit more.â&#x20AC;? The show includes selections from throughout Cashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long career and Cornforth tries to focus on a bit of everything including the later comeback stuff. Cashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue is very diverse and that is part of what Cornforth loves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of variety in the material and that is what keeps it interesting for me and the whole band,â&#x20AC;? explained Cornforth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I started out I went to see a pretty famous Johnny Cash performer named Shawn Barker and he does a lot of theatre shows and has been really successful with it. He performs shows four or five nights a week and continually sells out and we kind of tailored our show after his a bit. We try to keep it
upbeat like his and focus on the duets between Johnny and June.â&#x20AC;? The band has seen great success with this formula and Cornforth is always amazed to see the reach that Cash has, even today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His comeback years really made him appeal to a younger audience, too. We play some shows and there are teenagers in the audience who want to hear Hurt. It is fascinating to see a crowd of people in their 80s and then teenagers mixed in.â&#x20AC;? While Cornforth and his band have yet to play a show in Kingston, he is really looking forward to it and the vibe of the Grand Theatre. He encourages people to come check it out just to see the variety of songs that Cash created and to enjoy the classics too. He hopes to add the newly released Cash material to the show in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny because one of the new songs on the record that was just released is called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Call Your Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that would have been very appropriate for this show and to remind people to do that.â&#x20AC;? We Walk the Line will be at the Regina Rosen Auditorium, Grand Theatre on Sunday May 11 at 7:30 p.m. for tickets phone 613.530.2050 or go to the Grand Theatre website at http:// kingstongrand.ca/event/we-walkline-tribute-johnny-cash Â

OUT STANDING IN OUR FIELD
Aric McBay
Fresh grass has an amazing effect on livestock morale By Aric McBay Columnist
Out Standing in My Field - Years ago I worked on a relative’s sheep farm, down the road from us on Howe Island, to help with spring lambing. One of the ewes had a rough delivery and was in a lot of pain afterward. She lacked all motivation and would simply lay on the floor of her stall. She refused to eat or drink. Her eyes looked glassy. She was bleeding a bit. The prognosis was not good. Mary, the sheep farmer, decided to try putting the sick ewe out on pasture to see if she would eat there. It was still early in the spring so the sheep were mostly eating their winter hay while the first flush of
new grass came in. When we tried to herd the sick ewe out of the barn, she wouldn’t move. She wouldn’t even stand. So we drove the loader tractor up to the barn and literally rolled the sheep, gently, into the tractor bucket. We drove across the barnyard to the edge of the pasture and opened the gate. As soon as the ewe saw the fresh grass she stood up, leapt from the bucket of the moving tractor, ran over to the pasture and began gorging herself on fresh grass. A few days later, she had completely recovered. Imagine eating dry food through the darkest and coldest months of the year. After that, a succulent field of grass and clover and alfalfa is a banquet. I live on a dairy farm, and ev-
ery spring the calves born over the winter get to eat fresh grass for the first time in their lives. Sometimes I see them go out into the sunlit field and dip their heads to eat from the pasture. Oh, they must realize in pleasant surprise, so this is what it is to be a cow. And then they run around the field, jumping and bucking. Our chickens, like chickens in general, disdain the feeling of snow on their feet. They will do anything they can to avoid stepping in snow and prefer to stay inside their spacious chicken house much of the winter. The return of grass is a welcome relief. I’m watching them right now as their flock systematically surveys the grass around their coop in search of particularly tasty sprouts or earthworms.
Everyone on the farm benefits from spring. Even the bumblebees seem ecstatic, floating from blossom to blossom on hawthorns in the hedgerow while most trees still have bare branches. Spring on the farm provides treats to the senses that are often difficult to describe in words. The colour of the first flush of grass in the pasture impossibly green. It is greener than green. It’s a luminous shade I’ve never seen reproduced in a photograph or a painting. It
glows, seething with life. It’s a colour you can’t match with a paint swatch; you’d best find a poet instead. Or you could watch a sick sheep leap from a moving tractor to run to a new pasture, and imagine what she sees. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. He lives and works at a mixed family farm with a dairy herd and a vegetable operation. For more about the vegetable CSA, visit rootradicalrows.com.
