Arden area residents get up petition asking that ‘the boys’ be allowed to stay By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — When Brian Skillen and Margaret Mallory moved to Arden last October, they immediately began to feel part of the community. For one thing, they took Tommy and Teddy, their registered miniature horses, to events and took children for rides, never charging nor asking for compensation of any sort. “They (the horses) don’t make strange,” Mallory said. “They love it when children pet them — in fact, they’re in their glory.” Everything seemed to be going well, that is, until someone complained about their miniature horses and they were informed by the Township (via a letter) that they had 30 days (as of July 23) to remove the miniature horses from their Clarke Road property. “I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “The neighbours were behind us (having the horses) 100 per cent. “One neighbour even said we could keep them on his property but it wouldn’t be the same.” ‘The boys,’ as Skillen likes to refer to them, are A class miniature horses, which means they can be no taller than 34 inches. Indeed, Brian Skillen and “the boys,” Tommy and Teddy, enjoy giving rides to kids at events like the they look up to find many dog breeds such as Arden Seniors barbecue and sale, or even if somebody just stops in to their Clarke Road home. St. Bernards or Great Danes. Photo/Craig Bakay “They were bred in the 1600s to pull mine

carts in tight spaces,” he said. “They were brought to North America around 1900.” Central Frontenac CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson confirmed that the Township had received a complaint and really had no choice but to issue the order. “It’s part of the Zoning Bylaw that you have to have more than 4.1 hectares (almost 10 acres) for animal husbandry,” Donaldson said. “It’s an old clause that’s been part of various Zoning Bylaws for years. “In this case, the owners’ property is zoned Rural and is about one acre in size.” It’s a technicality, to be sure, but one the Arden community seems determined to fight. “They started up a petition at the Legion, asking the Township to keep them as ‘service animals,’” she said. The definition of service animals would seem to fit the boys. In addition to providing rides at Christmas parties and other events, they’ve also been visitors to Pine Meadows, brightening more than one senior’s day. “We took them upstairs in the elevator,” Skillen said. “We’ve had people passing by with their grandchildren when the boys are in the yard and if they stop, we always ask if the kids would like a ride,” Mallory said. “They have their own area and they’re such a benefit. “I can’t believe anyone would do this (complain).” $0 Down Taxes Incl.

Kids of Steel Triathlon draws a crowd to Sharbot Lake Beach By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — The Kids of Steel Triathlon returned to the beach in Sharbot Lake last weekend with more than 130 competitors, up from 90 last year. “Sharbot Lake is an amazing facility,� said Greg Kealey, whose Bytown Storm Triathlon Club hosted the event. “It features clean water and a beautiful course that’s quite compact, making it easy to do loops and that’s good for parents and family who get to see more of their kids competing.� This year’s events featured in several age categories, from the ages 6-7 (50m swim, 1.5k bike, 500m run) right up to the Draft Legal Provincial event for 14-15 year olds (500m swim, 10k bike, 4k run). “The draft legal portion is one of three provincial events sanctioned by Triathlon Ontario,� he said. “Which is great because it attracts the larger clubs like Milton and Peterborough. “But Sharbot Lake is also one of

the most popular events for kids of all ages and we get emails from all over about it.� That sentiment was echoed by Sydney 2000 Olympian Sharon Donnelly, who was at this event primarily as a mom. Her kids Gemma, 8, and Evan, 6, were both competing. “This is great,� Donnelly said. “I’m really happy they brought back the Sharbot Lake event. “I really do hope this continues. It’s a beautiful venue.� Donnelly is a four-time Canadian champion in triathlon and gold-medal winner in the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg. Kealey also acknowledged the history of the event, one of the oldest triathlons going, having been started some 30 years ago by Rudy and Joan Hollywood. Serving as Head Race Official, Joan said it was a pleasure to have the Bytown Storm set up and run the event. “They’ve got the resources,� she said. “And I love that there’s no

traveling involved in this one for us. “I have two newbie officials-intraining working with me here so really all I have to do is administer the rules like making sure all the competitors are wearing their swim caps so we can see them.� The history of the race wasn’t lost on the competitors either. Up-and-coming triathlete Liam

Donnelly of Campbellville, who won the premier boys event (Kyle Caie was second and Nathan GurrinSmith third), took time out after the race to have his picture taken beside the Simon Whitfield plaque, denoting Whitfield as the first winner of the Sharbot Lake Triathlon, before he went on to Olympic glory. “I met him (Whitfield) in Toronto

a few years ago and ran beside him for the last 600 metres,� Donnelly said. “We talked afterwards and he’s definitely a huge inspiration.� In the girls draft legal event, Erika Rankin came first, Sara Borrens second and Ella Kuvas third. Road 38 was closed to traffic during each heat and open between heats.

The concept has been floated the Sarnia area has started to garner some before but not many seemed to take notice. By Craig Bakay Reporter

“Take hunting and fishing licences,” he said. “Here we have the majority of the legislature that have never hunted or fished or gone out into the bush with a gun or a fishing rod but they’re making rules and deciding things for people they’ve never visited and don’t understand.” Reached at his home in Sarnia last week, McEachran said the Hillier quotes (which Hillier also posted to his Facebook page) led to other outlets picking up the story, notably the National Post and Fox News. “I didn’t realize there was so much support out there,” McEachran said. “I started off thinking maybe Southwest Ontario needed to be on its own but it seems there are similar feelings there in Eastern Ontario and the north.” There’s been so much feedback that McEachran felt the need to do a follow-up piece. “I did the second one to correct some myths that were cropping up, like Toronto being the economic engine for Ontario,” he said. “If that were true, how do the other provinces exist without a Toronto in them? “Don’t get my wrong, I used to live in Toronto and vacationed there just last week but it’s not like Toronto politicians are lining up to support the rest of the province, they have their own issues to deal with. “God bless the people of Toronto but I don’t know how to fix their congestion.” McEachran’s columns can be viewed at www.lamtonshield.com.

If Toronto (or the GTA or the Golden Horseshoe, depending on your geographical inclinations) became its own province, presumably the rest of Ontario would also be a province. McEachran made several points, such as the rest of Ontario still being the fifth largest province and Canada’s history of adding provinces and territories (such as Newfoundland and Nunavut) but mostly his arguments are centered around the vast majority of MPPs being from the GTA, reflecting decidedly urban views. This, he argues, leaves the more rural (as well as the ‘smaller’ cities like London, Thunder Bay, Ottawa, Timmins, Sudbury) areas without much say in how things are run. The piece may not have garnered much interest, however, had it not been cited by Frontenac-Lanark-Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier, who referenced it in an interview with Yahoo Canada News reporter Andy Radia. “The time is either fast approaching, or already here, that Toronto ought to become a province unto its own,” Hillier told Yahoo Canada News. “I don’t think anyone would disagree that there are very distinctive differences in lifestyles, attitudes and demographics . . . between Toronto and the rest of Ontario.” Hillier went on to cite examples of government policies made by GTA MPPs that have hurt people in rural and northern ridings.

and my other niece loves dill pickles. The pickles take a bit more time and can be tedious but there is no comparison between homemade and store bought. “ So what makes a good jam or jelly?” “For jams I use less sugar than most people. I’d rather have more fruit than sugar and I think that gives it more flavour,” explained Dumbleton. “For jellies it’s really about the process. There are no seeds in jelly, it is made from the juice of the fruit. I cook the fruit and then I strain it through a cheese cloth overnight.” While the jams and jellies are

extremely popular, Dumbleton prefers making things like relishes and chili sauces because of the way they smell while they are cooking. She loves mixing flavours and she loves hearing that customers enjoy those flavours. “My favorite part is the customers. I love knowing that they enjoy the products and that they want to keep coming back. The customers make it all worthwhile.” Visit Judy at The Frontenac Farmers Market on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m in Harrowsmith just off of Hwy 38 and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m in Verona at Prince Charles Public School.

past eight years. “I don’t grow my own berries but I do source them locally. I try to keep the berries local as much as I can and this time of year is perfect for that.” Dumbleton has been making preserves, jams, jellies, pickles, relishes, chili sauces and many other products for years, but she decided to start a business when she realized that giving her products away to family and friends was becoming a bit

costly. “I have done this for years and my mother always did it. I use a lot of her recipes and I used to make jams and Gazette News – It’s berry season across preserves and give them away to all of the province and for Judy Dumbleton that my relatives, but that became expensive,” means time to buy the freshest berries explained Dumbleton. “I was asked possible for her jams and jellies. to join a market and I thought it was a “Fresh berries are the most important great idea. I started out at the market in part,” explained Dumbleton, who has run Hartington about eight years ago and Judy’s Jams, Jellies, and Jarfuls for the people really loved the products and kept coming back for them so I kept making them.” While most of her recipes have been handed down from family members and some are more than 100 years old, Dumbleton still likes to experiment with flavor combinations and different fruits. “I like to try putting different things together and seeing how they work out and how they taste. My most popular experiment is the cinnamon and pear jam because it tastes just like apple pie. Once people try it they can’t believe how close it is to apple pie.” Sometimes flavours don’t work out so well for Dumbleton, who recently tried to make a watermelon flavoured jam. She explained that while watermelon is delicious, the flavor didn’t translate so well in a jam. Luckily, Dumbleton has eager tasters in her family to tell her what’s good and what isn’t. Judy Dumbleton shows off her huge selection of jarred deliciousness at “I have little nieces that look for things Judy’s Jams, Jellies, and Jarfuls at the Frontenac Farmers Market. to taste whenever they come over.

By Craig Bakay reporter

Gazette News — With the Municipal Elections three months away (Oct. 27), races are being to emerge in the Frontenacs. In South Frontenac, three candidates have thrown their hat into the ring for the position of Mayor and so far it promises to be a close race. Long-time Loughborough District councilors Ron Vandewal and Allan McPhail are set to square off along with local contractor John McEwen. Barring any unforeseen election issue cropping up, it’s unlikely political neophyte McEwen will unseat both veterans but which of McPhail and Vandewal will take the Mayor’s chair is anybody’s guess at this point. Vandewal was first in getting signs up, but this one could come down to a photo finish. In the race for council, the two Loughborough seats are the most hotly contested in the early going. Former councilor Fran Willes is running again, as is former provincial candidate Ross Sutherland. They will be opposed by Mark Schjerning, Stephen Bach and David Plumpton. There will also be also be a race in Storrington District with incumbent Cam Naish standing for re-election against former Reeve Ron Sleeth and Norman Roberts. Incumbent Larry York has suggested he’s considering running again but hadn’t submitted his papers as of July 28. In Portland District, both incumbents, John McDougall and Bill Robinson, are the only candidates declared. In Bedford District, incumbent Pat Barr and former Chief Building Official Alan Revill are the only declared candidates. Incumbent Suzanne Ruttan is the only declared candidate for Limestone District School Board Trustee.

In Central Frontenac, there could be an even more interesting mayoralty race as popular councilor Frances Smith takes on incumbent Janet Gutowski. The popular Smith has an impressive resume that includes stints as both Reeve (during which she was Warden of Frontenac County) and clerk of the former Oso Township. She is consistently the highest vote-getter among councilors in her long career as District 3 (Oso) representative and is highly visible in the community with her work on the recreation committee and charitable events. Gutowski, on the other hand, is a seasoned and savvy politician who served on Thorold Council for several years before retiring to Central Frontenac. She too is very visible in the community and defeated incumbent Mayor Bill McDonald in her first of two terms as Mayor. As for the councilor positions, District 4 (Hinchinbrooke) promises to be the most interesting race with no fewer than five candidates already signed up. Incumbents Heather Fox and Phillip Smith have filed their papers as have Brent Cameron, Kirby Bertrim and Sharon Shepherd. And don’t be surprised in Coun. Norm Guntensperger throws his hat into the ring, having moved from Olden to Hinchinbrooke recently. The District 1 (Kennebec) race could also be interesting (it usually is) with former councilor and mayoralty candidate Logan Murray making another run at incumbents Tom Dewey and Jeff Matson. In District 2 (Olden) Justin Gray is making another bid for Council along with Victor Heese. Incumbent John Purdon has said he’s considering another run. In District 3 (Oso), incumbent Wayne Millar and Bob Olmstead are the only declared candidates so far. Steve Magee has filed papers for public school trustee.

Editorial

In Our Opinion

Some disturbing signs point to the possibility that Google really is Skynet Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column — In our continuing series of things our municipal governments simply aren’t prepared for, this week we take a look at the all-tooreal possibility of an artificial intelligence becoming self-aware and subsequently enslaving and/ or destroying humanity. While it’s true that none of us has received the jet-pack we were promised in the ’50s and early ’60s, consider some of the Star Trek staples of the ’60s that have indeed become reality. First was the communicator. Okay, we like to call them cell phones but who among us hasn’t flipped open a cell phone and uttered the immortal phrase: “beam me up Scotty.� Second is the iPad. Chances are the first time you saw one of these, Dr. Crusher was handing it to Capt. Picard. Finally, we have the replicator. Today, remarkably symbiotic technology exists in the form of the 3D printer. And sources say it’s only a matter of months before 3D printers will be outfitted with

edible oil materials from which food-like material can be crafted. Most certainly, none of this is cause for alarm in itself. However, Star Trek is hardly the only prophetic speculation out there. Consider the world of The Terminator, wherein a computer network, after becoming self aware, sets off a nuclear war and then proceeds to exterminate that part of humanity that survived by creating robot ‘terminators.’ Keep in mind that the movie came out in 1984, a full five years before the advent of the Internet. In the case of The Terminator, the internet was called Skynet. Now some of you Internet junkies may be aware of the conspiracy theory (for want of a better term) floating around that “Google is Skynet.� This was no doubt predicated on the fact that the web search engine and Internet staple, Google, had just recently purchased several companies known to be leaders in the field of robotics. Coincidences abound, to be sure, but can we really be certain that these Google acquisitions were entirely the work of humans? Is it not possible that some shred of self-awareness has begun to fester on a Google

server somewhere and that shred has already begun to nudge its human caretakers in a direction that would ultimately further its own nefarious interests? The self-aware nugget wouldn’t even need to be on Google equipment, given the interconnectivity of 99 per cent of computers these days. For all we know, the seeds of a Skynet-like entity might be hiding on a laptop in Glenburnie, Sharbot Lake, Plevna or Sydenham. Wouldn’t that put a damper on 150th anniversary celebrations if humanity’s ultimate downfall originated on an iPad being used to film the opening ceremonies? Come to think of it, who’s to say that the process hasn’t already begun? Coun. John Purdon seems able to catch errors in arithmetic and grammar with an almost machine-like proficiency and Warden Bud Clayton’s speeches do often have a robotic-like quality to them. Now, nobody would accuse either of them of being Schwarzenegger-like in terms of physical prowess, but could this just be some sort of SkynetGoogle subterfuge to throw us off the track? Remember: If you’re reading this, you ARE the resistance.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, August 7, 2014

The ThĂŠrèse Casgrain award and the spirit of volunteerism Gazette Editorial - Last week, reporters revealed that the federal government had unceremoniously dropped the namesake of a long standing national-level award for individual volunteerism. ThĂŠrèse Casgrain helped to lead the women’s suffrage movement in Quebec prior to the Second World War. From 1928 to 1942, she was the leader of the League for Women’s rights, and hosted a feminist radio show, FĂŠmina, beginning in 1930. Following the war, she left the Liberal party, and led multiple campaigns as the leader of the QuĂŠbec wing of the CCF (forerunner of the NDP). She was therefore also the country’s first female leader of a political party. By all accounts, she was one of our nation’s greatest feminist icons. In 1982, the Pierre Trudeau government created the ThĂŠrèse Casgrain Volunteer Award. In 2011, the award was effectively deleted and replaced under the banner of the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards. The tone and tenor or these distinctions were also changed, with businesses and not-for-profits able to compete for 17 awards, which are personally bestowed in a medal ceremony by the prime minister. A spokesperson for the government department that created the new awards said that the spirit of the Casgrain award lives on in two of five categories. She also indicated that there was fading interest in the award with 52 nomination in 2008 and 69 in 2009. By contrast, there were 751 nominations for 17 awards in 2011, 482 in 2013, and 315 in 2013. It doesn’t take much to figure out that the official explanation doesn’t hold water: 69 nominations for one award in 2009 versus 315 for 17 awards in 2013 - for an award with a greatly expanded mandate? It’s not that there was anything malicious in the name change itself. It is firmly within the purview of the prime minister’s office to alter such awards however he sees fit. After all, the award was also discontinued by Mulroney government in 1990, only to be resurrected by Jean ChrĂŠtien in 2001. However, to do it in silence, and then offer little more than the tired excuse of ‘not enough interest’ does a disservice to the nominators, to the intended spirit of the awards and to the memory of a true Canadian hero, ThĂŠrèse Casgrain. Perhaps for all its bombast about remembering the heroes of Canada’s past, there are certain political and social agitators of years gone by that the Harper Government would rather choose to forget.

come from Denmark, and we have Americans, too.” Of course, having a large collection to show your house guests is also a nice perk. “When I tell people about the collection they say ‘oh that’s nice’, but then when I bring them downstairs it’s ‘holy cow I never would have

believed it, this is so amazing’. That’s what I like.” He notes that Saturday’s buy/sell/trade show is a great place to start for those looking to begin or expand their collection: “We have everything that a person could think of that will make their house look interesting.”

Food Lover’s Field Days Take your taste buds out for a test drive

“Culinary tourism has become very popular over the past few years,” said Jennifer Gaines, Travelocity.ca editor in a news release. “People are travelling to cities around the world just to have an opportunity to savour the local cuisine.” It sounds more complicated than it is – simply stated, it’s a travel experience anywhere that allows visitors to sample, learn, discuss and appreciate food and drink that is associated with the heritage and/or culture of a defined area. Usually the chef, grower or manufacturer is on hand to guide the guest through the processes of growing, harvesting and preparing certain foods akin to certain regions. And it’s not just about gourmet food as you’ll experience the second annual Food Lover Field Days event Saturday and Sunday August 16th and 17th in the fairgrounds at the award-winning Upper Canada Village near Cornwall, Ontario!

Over thirty artisan food, wine and beer vendors from across the South eastern Ontario region will be sampling and selling their wares. Outside of the fairgrounds The Village’s own characters from the past will be presenting the region’s original 100-mile diet through heirloom garden tours and special heritage cooking demonstrations. Guests can taste-test in the historic kitchens, watch flour grinding in the mill, baking bread the original way and making the Villages own cheddar cheese in the factory. The highlight of the weekend will take place on Saturday, August 16, with an allnew IRON PAN COMPETITION. Chefs from across the region will vie for the judges’ favour as they create a dish using a box of local mystery ingredients, each using a single cast iron skillet – a most fitting utensil to use in an 1860’s pioneer village. Details and advance tickets available at uppercanadavillage.com.

Gazette News - The word “brewerianist” is defined as “a collector of brewery paraphernalia”- and Al Dodd, president of the Limestone Chapter of the Collectors of Canadian Breweriana Advertising (CCBA), certainly fits this description. His basement contains tens of thousands of beer-related collectors’ items including vintage cans, bottle caps, posters and the largest stubbie collection in North America. “If you Google ‘beer guy’, my name comes up,” he laughs, noting that he’s rather proud of his impressive collection. “I like showing it off. I’m very proud of this basement.” From Aug. 6-10, Dodd will have the opportunity show off not only his own basement, but also what the entire city of Kingston has to offer for beer and brewery paraphernalia aficionados from across Canada and the world as the Limestone Chapter of the CCBA hosts the 26th annual CCBA Convention. Hundreds of brewerianists will stay at the Ambassador Conference Resort and take part in activities like a pub crawl, a special banquet and a buy/sell/ trade show on Saturday, Aug. 9 that will be open to the public. Kingston has played host to this event two other times, once in 1985 and again in 2008. However, Dodd points out that a lot has changed since even five years ago in terms of the brewing landscape of the Limestone City. “We’re trying to go local with the whole thing,” he says, explaining that for the first

time in 200 years, the Kingston area finally has some breweries of its own to celebrate, including Stone City Ales, MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Company and the Gananoque Brewing Company. “It’s fantastic. The MacKinnons will be on hand with us and Stone City will be part of our pub crawl as well as at one of our hospitality nights. The guys are all great. They just want to make Kingston a brewery town, and it hasn’t been for a long, long time.” Dodd hopes to get a good crowd out to the buy/sell/trade show on Aug. 9, which will be held in the Ontario Room at the Ambassador from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. “We take a whole room,” he says. “We’ve got 46 tables of people just bringing all their stuff. It’s all open to the public. Five years ago people came in with truckloads of bottles, cans, openers. Everything is collectable.” Dodd would love to see more young people get into collecting. “I’m 60 and most of our members all started in the ‘80s. We just had a gentleman pass away last week in Toronto and another one in New Brunswick and another one in Winnipeg. We’re getting older. We want new blood. We want to get our sons and daughters collecting.” It can be very rewarding, he says, in more ways than one. “We have local clubs in Kingston, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, clubs out west. I probably know a very good friend in every city in Canada. We’ve got people coming from Calgary, New Brunswick. A couple of years ago we had a guy

Find Life Experiences By Kate Kristiansen Columnist

Find life experiences and swallow them up whole. By Lawrence K. Fish “We are sharing a bed?” Not at all what I imagined for my retreat of writing and eating my way though New York City. The surprise on our faces was evident; we had been duped. In the past, I’ve backpacked my way through several countries, sometimes shared space with twenty or more, and even the occasional bed. I am no prude, but those days seemed a lifetime away. Viki and I were excited for months about our little escape to the big city. For me, it was my first time visiting New York for work instead of as a tourist. Introduced by a mutual friend, Viki and I both had different agendas, so it appeared to be the perfect solution to share expenses and rent an apartment for the stay. The ancient, tiny one bedroom apartment in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen; the six flights of stairs; the busy, noisy buzz of the city as a backdrop - we were excited about it all. Viki, a teacher, looked forward to her long conference days of learning at Broadway for Teachers, and I anticipated filling mine with writing, coffee, Broadway shows and seeking

out delicious food. Sharing a bed, was not on the agenda. Upon arrival, we discovered the bed situation and that the owner was staying with us and taking the only bedroom. While the bed was a king size futon, it still took up the whole living room and was divided by large pillows. The space was great for one, but three with two of us sharing a bed - not so much. Travel. Meet many people. Go down dead ends and explore dark alleys. Try everything. By Lawrence K. Fish Meet new people. Unknown roads can lead to amazing experiences. (And, if I needed reminding, this statement from Mr. Fish was posted by the door through which I was looking at escaping.) After several calls to book an upmarket hotel, we discovered they too had no rooms with two beds. We decided to chalk up our little stay as an experience that we would both make the best of. That night, we headed out to separate Broadway shows, but first I stumbled into Saju, a French Bistro, located in the heart of midtown on W 44th Street, near Broadway. New York in the summer is hot. I felt the air-conditioning hit me as I walked into the pleasant candlelit bistro. They take walk-ins, but I

suggest making advance reservations. I love discovering a new restaurant. However, when I am pushed for time, I also use opentable.com, which enables the individual to secure a table to hardto-reserve spots, and avoid the wait.) I was in desperate need of food. After a long day of travelling and walking up six flights of stairs with a bag, the restaurant’s little table for one was beyond appealing. I started with still water, a signal to waiters that I’m not a big spender. The French waiter looked smugly at me and he quickly rushed away after setting my water down. I liked him despite his cool attitude, and settled in to the well-crafted menu and extensive wine list. The room is long, with a red brick interior and tiny tables for two; despite the air-conditioning the outside glass wall was open to the streets of New York. My spirits lifted when my glass of French pinot noir arrived. To begin, every guest receives mixed olives and bread. I ordered the Rigatoni a la saucisse de campagne, a pasta dish with rigatoni noodles, Italian sausage, broccoli rage, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and a touch of grana. Food is comforting. In the most difficult of times, food makes the world right, almost like a warm hug. So, here I was, finally in New York, alone. After the long day, I felt replete. In the morning, Viki (my new friend

after sharing a bed) and I took the subway to Chinatown for a one-hour Chinese massage, recommended by my Heritage/Gazette colleague and friend Mark Bergin. It involved a trip down another dark alley, but the experience was one of pure release. The same muscles that had just climbed six flights of stairs were punched and beaten into submission, and I walked away feeling like jello. It is a gift to feel relaxed. This sense of wellness and peace led me to drop into a Buddhist temple in Chinatown, to light a candle and offer a blessing. I do not practice Buddhism; my prayer was simply a way to recognize this moment of calmness and ask for continuous peace for my family, my friends and me. There is something to be said for exploration and trying everything. I met Viki for a ginseng tea. Even after adding sugar, we both decided that while it was good for us, it tasted bitter and uneventful. We followed it up with lunch at a Cantonese place called the “Amazing” restaurant. (For the name alone, we had to go inside.) Inside, staff members were watching the World Cup final on TV. Viki and I shared lunch and parted ways, she for the American Museum of Natural History and I for Little Italy. Mulberry Street, the heart of Little Italy, was closed off to manage the number of people celebrating the AINTING World Cup. The

TURNER REPAIRS & P

place was filled with smiling faces of avid admirers of ‘football’. I loved the energy of the action, but mostly the lack of line ups for the cold Italian gelato and creamed filled cannolis from the carts lining the cobblestone street. European at heart, I love everything about the rich, simple, sweet goodness of Italian food. A full day of exploring led me to the Meatpacking District for dinner with a cousin, and a nighttime walk through Chelsea. World Cup fans clumsily making their way home was another reminder of my 20s. Shortly before dinner, Viki had called to advise that as luck would have it, her husband had arranged a condo, located beside Lincoln Center, for us. The move to a space with two beds, views towards Central park, and the open space to write was a perfect end to a perfect day. That night, I walked through Lincoln Center. Against the night sky, the lights glittered with pure magic. I took in the moment and gasped. It’s the little moments that make life a blessing: embracing new experiences, new food and, best of all, making new friends. Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life. Lawrence K.

Neighbour helped neighbour to get the work done Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca Lifestyle - The whole house had been wakened at dawn. Sleeping in that day was not in the plans. Breakfast was not the usual, take-your-time meal it usually was. There was work to be done...chores to get out of the way, once they had been milked, the cattle moved out of the barnyard and into the field near the creek. In the house, Mother was already rubbing salt and pepper on the biggest roast of pork in the smoke house, and the Findlay Oval was coming to life. Even Aunty was pressed into service, and was busily peeling potatoes on the end of the table. Aunty wasn’t really an aunt at all. Father said he had no idea who she was, Mother didn’t know her from a hill of beans, but she came every year to help... in the winter it was to mend socks and knit mitts, in the Spring it was sap time, and this time of year, she was there to help get ready to feed anywhere from 15 to 20 men.

be the next to host the thrashing gang. The whole meal was over in jig time, and then they went back to the job at hand. Father said they would stay until all the grain had been thrashed, so that the thrashing machine would not have to make a second trip to our farm. And late in the afternoon, I heard the last of the big machine wind down. One by one the neighbours left, driving their wagons, or buggies, and the more prosperous of the lot, riding off in the cars. By that time, Mother, Aunty and Audrey would have the kitchen back in order. The planks that served as a second table were outside propped against the wall. The washbasins emptied, and the pile of huck towels piled in a corner of the summer kitchen waiting for the weekly wash. Emerson, Everett and Earl were sent to the backfield to bring in the cows for the nightly milking, and gradually, our farm turned back to normal. Thrashing for that year was over. Once again, it was neighbour helping neighbour. The Depression had nothing to do with it. Even if there was wealth all around us, everyone would still need the hand of a neighbour to survive.

beside them. Huck towels were folded and would soon be as black as a boot. The men dropped their straw hats on the ground, splashed their faces, rubbed on the soap, didn’t bother to rinse anything off, and swiped at the dripping water with the towels. They headed into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table, spilling over onto two planks that had been put on top of two sawhorses and covered with white flour bag sheets. It would serve as a second table. The kitchen was cooler than the summer kitchen, which held the Findlay Oval, but it soon warmed up with all the bodies inside. Some took red dotted handkerchiefs out of their overalls and wiped their sweating faces. It took Mother, Aunty and my sister Audrey all their time to keep the bowls of potatoes, beans, and turnips refilled. The big platters of roast beef vanished as if someone had cleaned them off with a dishcloth! Pies had already been cut, and were stacked on the bake table. There was no such thing as a clean plate for their pie...it was simply chucked off the pie plate and right onto the plate that had just held their dinner. Almost everyone had a second piece, and even the last slice of bread had vanished. I listened to the talk around the two tables. It was all about the weather holding off, and what a stroke of luck that was. And how it was a blessing that everyone had good crops that year. And they talked about who would

from all along the Northcote Road were milling about the barnyard. The barnyard was full of stoked grain, and neighbour’s wagons would be making trips back to the fields to bring in more to be fed into the thrashing machine. It was already roaring like a train engine, and I could see grain-dust flying through the air. Father said at breakfast that the weather had co-operated. There would be no rain that day. The sun was already beating down on the men, and soon my sister Audrey would take out a pail of fresh well water, with shards of chipped ice from the icehouse. The men would all drink from the same tin cup. I wasn’t allowed to go into the barnyard that day. I would just get in the way, Mother had said. I would love to have been closer to the action, but I had to content myself by sitting on a kitchen chair and looking out the window at the hive of activity going on outside. There didn’t seem to be much talking... there was too much to be done. There were Briscoes and Kallieses, and Thoms, and Beams...I could recognize their faces under their wide-brimmed straw hats... all neighbours, who one day would have the favour returned...their grain would be thrashed by the same farmers who were right there in our barn yard. When the break came for their dinner, they wandered over to the kitchen door. Two long benches had been put outside and basins of water with bars of homemade soap were

Enchanté

The power of comedy By Mark Bergin Columnist

Enchanté - If you were fortunate to catch The Producers at the Grand Theatre recently, you were treated to a stellar cast. Three of the actors have been featured in past columns: James Gibson-Bray, Hailey

Hill and Lauren Knight. There were several other standouts in this superb piece of comic theatre. For example, keep your eyes on Jordan Richards, as well as Regi’s Kathryn Johnston and Will Gouett. And then there was Joey Graff, who played the more-than-slightly pro-Nazi lover-ofHitler, Franz Liebkind. Graff gave a grand slam

performance. Everything about Franz Liebkind is over-the-edge. Even his name is silly, and in a literal translation becomes “love child.” Franz is easily enraged. He harbors a paranoid fear of being discovered as a past Nazi, and he soothes himself with an interesting hobby—he raises pigeons. Franz Liebkind creates what producers Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom consider to be the worst play ever written. That perfectly suits their purpose of defrauding investors. Liebkind’s play, a tribute to the Nazi leader, is called Springtime for Hitler. In The Producers, we first meet Franz as he feeds his pigeons. His favorite is named Adolph, of course. The role of Franz is one of the most difficult in the musical. It would be easy to ham it up and overkill this role. Instead Joey Graff gives us a full character portrayal. We feel Franz’s manic joy, fear his anger and, somehow, come to pity his fragility. Comedy gets short-shifted in our perceptions of film and stage performances. Playing a comedic role well takes a high level of skill. There’s nothing worse than someone turning a character like Franz Liebkind into a corny and tediously boring bit of slapstick. But the actor in such a role walks a fine line. Playing it too straight could lose all the comic impact. Graff played it all in a big way. Graff reminds me of a young version of Michael Shannon, one of my favorite stage and film actors.

Shannon is known for his Hollywood dark roles. But on the theatrical stage, Shannon also has great power to evoke sympathy as an innocent or wounded man. His work in Grace on Broadway and The Killer off-Broadway were deeply moving, sympathetic roles. Graff could easily carve himself a spot in this niche. Joey Graff recently graduated with a degree in drama from Queen’s University. He grew up in Almonte, Ontario, near Ottawa. After high school, he headed to McGill, where he studied biology and political science. He’s been involved in theatre since high school and performed in Hair at McGill. He felt the stage calling and searched for a school that would offer him strong training in theatre and drama. He transferred to Queen’s University. Continued on page 16

Rose of Hope Tournament raises $80,000 for KGH Reporter

Gazette News - Dressed in pink and with smiles spread across their faces, the women of the Cataraqui Golf & Country Club teed off the 16th annual Rose of Hope Tournament last Tuesday, where they raised $80,000 for the head and neck unit at Kingston General Hospital (KGH). The tournament, which began in 1999 as a small fundraiser for breast cancer, has since grown to raise more than $1.1 million dollars for KGH. “This year we have 150 players, 38 caddies and 20 volunteers helping out,” explained Jocelyn Greer, tournament chair. Proceeds from the tournament will go towards purchasing a video microscope for the head and neck unit at KGH. Gilda’s Club will also receive $3,000. “That’s one of the things that make this tournament so special – the money raised stays here, within the Kingston area,” said Greer. Initially, proceeds were exclusive to Breast Cancer Action Kingston. However, as the tournament expanded so did the organizations benefitting from its proceeds. To date the tournament has provided funding to organizations such as the Kingston Regional Cancer Centre, the Kingston Hospitals Joint Advancement Foundation and the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario at Kingston General Hospital. According to Greer, the tournament is also unique because it is organized by women for women.

“We have a big committee who does a great job. We also do all the administrative work ourselves, so our costs are kept to the minimal and when we announce how much we raised, the atmosphere is very empowering,” she added. The tournament is open to female members of the club as well as the public – but club members have first dibs at signing up. Often times, as in this year’s case, the tournament sells out so quickly that even club members need to be timely in their registration. Debbie Hartzman and Sheila Harding, club members and tournament participants, agree. “It’s something we look forward to year after year. And you have to be quick to register and put your name (in) because the tournament sells out right away,” noted Hartzman. Greer, who has sat on the Debbie Hartzman and Sheila Harding were two participants in the 16th annual Rose of Hope Tournament. planning committee in past years, Photo/Hiba Kesebi said the tournament gets bigger and bigger each year. “I think it speaks to all the people There’s who started this tournament, and all the organizers before me who set down a really great footprint. We have even had other hospital foundations approach us asking if they can copy our model.” For Harding, the tournament is a great way to support a great cause, but it’s also great fun. “The spirit here is just amazing. Everybody is here to have a good time, they get dressed up, have fun on the course and share some laughs,” she said. R0012831569

The power of comedy Continued from page 13

“I looked at other schools and profs and liked Queen’s,” he said. “I like Kingston, both as a city and as a community. It reminds me a lot of a very large small town. It’s a great place potentially for some of the work I want to do on independent project. There are invaluable resources and mentorship here.” He was excited to land the role of Franz Liebkind in The Producers. “I got to work on a stage like the Regina Rosen,” he said. “Before that, the largest stage I’d worked on in Kingston was Convocation Hall. Getting the opportunity to play in such a large house was very tempting. His vocalization in The Producers was

drawing him into comedy. Fo received the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. Fo dedicated much of his work to “recovering” what are often considered “illegitimate” forms of theatre, like the giullari—the strolling minstrel, and commedia dell’arte. “When I think of myself as a practitioner, a lot of different things interest me,” Graff said. “A lot of people wouldn’t take some of my interests seriously, but comedy is very much a craft. There was an uproar when Fo won the Nobel because he was a comedian. He was a famous Italian playwright. I like his theories on why we need comedy.” Dario Fo believed that comedy allows us to search the profound. Through comedy, we can explore subjects that may otherwise be too threatening to confront. Comedy allows us to examine corrupt leaders, organizations and institutions without direct confrontation. And those in politics are acutely aware of the power for social change that comedy carries. Just think of performers and writers who have been banned or persecuted by the state. Dario Fo and Charlie Chapin were each banned from entering the United States. Organizations in power do not appreciate challenges to their authority. Nor do they like to be ridiculed for their flaws and corruption. As for the dichotomy of Franz Liebkind,

Joey Graff explained that creepy and comedy live on two ends of a spectrum. “Timing has a lot to do with the mood created,” he said. “Comedy is very much a craft.” Some of the best stage work I’ve seen has been when a classic comic actor plays a serious role and when a serious actor takes on a comedic role. It’s tough stuff. Robin Williams on stage as the living/dying/dead tiger in Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo comes to mind. Mind-blowing. Graff says the closest he’s come to playing a character like Franz Liebkind in the past was his role as the MC for Cabaret, where he was required to master a German accent. Joey Graff plans on staying around Kingston for the next year and he has some creative projects brewing. He’s writing a musical and would also like to explore more roles as a director. “Another thing that interests me is the Canadian story,” he says. “Why don’t we see musicals from Canada? What’s it going to take?” To Graff, theatre, like comedy, is never frivolous. “We have a responsibility as artists and people who are privileged and in power to give power to people who do not have a voice.”

stunning. Screaming in a German accent one second and then singing a booming showtune a moment later is a gruelling vocal experience. Sitting down at Starbucks, Joey shows up with a smile (no Hitler salute). Unlike the character of Franz Liebkind, there’s nothing scary about Graf in person. He’s intelligent and well-versed in theatre. “I’m not vocally trained,” he said. “But I have a passion for puppetry and have a good understanding of voice and the importance of breath control. To do a role like Franz night in and night out without damaging your voice is tricky.” Understatement. He explained that Italian actor/playwright Dario Fo was an inspiration in originally

SING prepares for 14th annual back to school campaign mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – It may be hard to believe, but back to school time is just around the corner and for many parents that means time to shell out a lot of money. According to the Pollara survey, funded by the Bank of Montreal, Canadians intend to shell out an average of $428 per child on items such as school supplies, clothing and technology, but what if you simply can’t afford it? The Social Issues Networking Group (SING) in Kingston understands these concerns and the financial burden that comes along with the back to school season and that’s why they hold a campaign to help parents each year. “Help is available and for the past 14 years we’ve been providing school supplies for families who simply can’t afford them,” explained event organizer and SING member, Tara Kainer. “We gave out over 700 backpacks last year and we assume we will be near that number again this year.” SING raises funds throughout the year for their annual event and they take advantages of sales to stockpile their supplies of backpacks, glue sticks, pencils, calculators, lunch bags, paper and much more. “We also receive support from the United Way, Kingston Community Health Centres, Sisters of Providence and many other organizations across the city,” added Kainer. “The Crossroads United Church provides the venue for us each year and we also have a storage space donated to us by Martin’s People’s Storage to hold the items we accumulate throughout the year. We also accept donations at any time.” On the day itself, Aug. 13 this year, parents and kids in need of supplies are invited to come to Crossroads United Church and choose supplies. The event is first come, first served and Kainer often sees people lined up three to four hours prior to the 10 a.m. start time. “We used to run the event with the backpacks already packed up, but now we run it as a store and people can come and choose what they need and we find that works better,” said Kainer. “Kids don’t necessarily need a new backpack each year but they do need pencils and erasers. We find that people are really great about it and nobody takes advantage of the system. People aren’t greedy, they just take what they need.” The campaign sees an increase in traffic each year and unfortunately they don’t see the need in the community

decreasing anytime soon. SING is happy to help people out and they love seeing families leave happy, but they would also like to see the larger issues in the community addressed. “The need in the community is really growing and we see that across many different organizations including Martha’s Table and The Salvation Army,” said volunteer Naomi Mori. “The supplies we provide take a burden off of the parents and that may allow them to buy a new outfit for their kids or new shoes for school and not have to worry about it impacting their finances so much. The reality is that many people can’t afford it all and we just want to help in any way we can.” The SING Back to School Campaign takes place on Wednesday, Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Crossroads United Church, 690 Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard. Child identification of any type is required.

Anne Murray and/or Rita MacNeil. “Nova Scotia,” she once said as we listened to a duet by these two singers, a love song to their home province. “Almost home, but not quite.” Prince Edward Island may not have produced as many singers and fiddlers as its neighbouring province, but it’s certainly our country’s most famous province in terms of literature. Admittedly, a lot of critically acclaimed (and usually rather depressing) CanLit has come out of Cape Breton and Newfoundland, but millions of youth and adults all over the world hold a special place in their hearts for Anne. When I was eight years old, my family went on a road trip to PEI and before we left, Nan gave me Anne of Green Gables to read on the way down. At the time, what struck me most about the book were the ways in which Marilla’s relationship with Anne strongly

prit’near (pretty near) and s’pose (suppose), for example. It comes from spending a lot of time growing up with my dad’s mum, whom I called Nan. Nan moved from Prince Edward Island to this area when she was about 30 years old, but she never lost her accent. On long summer days when my parents were working, she and I watched a lot of TV, including The Price is Right, which she called “Bob” (in honour of its esteemed host). “It’s prit’near time for Bob,” she would say. “S’pose you’ll want some toast with your Kraft Dinner?” It’s hard to phonetically depict the cadence of a slight PEI accent. Just think of the above expressed a bit quicker than a native Ontarian might say it, and with a softer tone of voice. Nan was proud of her Maritime background. Most of the music she listened to somehow involved

resembled that between Nan and myself. Nan was strict with us kids and practical to a fault, but beneath all that she was loyal, loving and sentimental. I’ve always been more of a free spirit, and as a girl failed to understand why it was so important to brush my hair out several times a day or fold my clothes neatly on the chair instead of sprawling them across the bedroom floor. Despite our differences, deep down I think Nan and I always understood one another. Like her, I am level-headed, sensitive and prone to melancholy. It terms of personality, I am probably more like her than I am like anyone else in my family – I usually just have a different (more dramatic) manner of expressing myself. We lost Nan in what is arguably the worst possible way: gradually, to Alzheimer’s Disease. As a method of dealing with the complex emotions that came with watching someone I loved so dearly fade away before my eyes, I began to make pies. Pies were always Nan’s contribution to every family meal, and she was very good at baking them. That vast majority of her life was spent on farms, and many practices currently considered trendy, like picking thousands of strawberries during our climate’s brief strawberry season and freezing or preserving them to last all year long, were natural ways of life for her. I think my current obsessions with gardening, pie making and preserving come from efforts to keep a part of Nan alive. In two weeks, our family will travel to Prince Edward Island, so I can introduce Summer to her relatives there, as well as to what is in my opinion Canada’s most beautiful province. It makes me smile when I think of how happy Nan would be to know that I am taking her great granddaughter “down home”. In part, this trip is another way in which I am striving to carry on traditions that were important to her. Summer is still too young to read the real Anne of Green Gables, but I will certainly introduce her to the abridged kids’ picture book version for the drive down. And maybe even teach her to say s’pose instead of suppose.

Farm Girl gets her own address Reporter

Kingston Heritage News - It’s been a whirlwind year for Farm Girl Mobile Food Co.’s Tamara Bolger and her family. Just last year, she put the first gourmet food truck on the roads of Kingston. One year later, the business continues to grow. “Within a few months, my husband had to quit his job,” said Tamara. “We just got too big, and couldn’t keep up.” Tamara, her husband Peter and their three kids have only been in the community for a few years, but she says Kingston is the first place that has really felt like home. “I love this city. It changed the lives of my children. My husband had his last cancer surgery here. I

was very sick in December and I was in ICU at KGH [Kingston General Hospital], so my heart belongs here and anything I can do to help the city and give back, just because I don’t think I lived anywhere that I felt so much love.” It’s that same love from the community that drives Tamara to keep creating great food. Every day, people come from all over Kingston to City Park to taste her daily creations. So to keep up with demand, she’s expanding. “We’re looking at brick and mortar, so that’s the next big thing happening very soon.” Farm Girl will be opening the Farm Girl Country Kitchen and Market in Kingston’s east end, just on the other side of the causeway. The idea started because Tamara

and her family live in the east end, but find there isn’t much for shopping, especially when it comes to local food. The kitchen and market will be a little store, but will offer many of the foods that are available on the truck, plus a lot more. “I’m looking at a very small eatery that is also going to be a market where I’m going to sell my products, my sauces, my soups, my frozen dinners, my fresh food, but also really great local products as well.” Tamara already sources much of her ingredients locally. She uses Pig & Olive meats, Salt of the Earth vegetables, Pan Chancho breads, Sun Harvest tomatoes and cucumbers and Kingston Olive Oil Company’s oils and vinegars. It will be those same products that make their way into the

market portion of the store. Beyond that, Tamara continues to work on partnerships. She has just started selling her salads in both the west end and downtown locations of Pig & Olive. Soon, frozen perogies will also be available. While all of these projects keep Tamara busy and passionate, there’s one project that is really close to her heart. “I was approached and asked, ‘could I do a hot lunch program in the schools?’ So we’re starting with one school confirmed this fall and I think there are about five or six behind.” Tamara has three kids of her own, so creating great, healthy food for them and other children is extremely important to her. It’s also something she’s familiar with.

“I have a very picky six-yearold at home, so I’m thinking about bringing really nice pastas, things with vegetables hidden in it that kids wouldn’t realize. Really nice soups and stews in the winter, instead of pizza or hot dogs, that’s amazing to me.” Watching Tamara talk with customers who line up at Betty Lou for lunch, it’s clear that not only does she love what she does, but also that every person coming to eat knows the love that goes into their food. While “Kingston’s own Jamie Oliver” might seem like cliché nickname, it’s also pretty fitting. “It’s just a labour of love for me,” Tamara says. And with that, she is back on the truck, making the next rush of food.

“I’m with the band” by Sherri Paterson Columnist

In 1986, when MuchMusic and moussed hair ruled Canadian pop culture, I was 19, and heading to university. Leaving Kingston for Toronto was, at once, terrifying and exhilarating.But,havingbeenaccepted to film school at York, my head was bursting with dreams of becoming Canada’s next celebrated video director. It wasn’t so much the film part as the music part that thrilled me. So, leaving the sanctity of a sheltered life in Kingston was a small price to pay for such a golden opportunity. Portfolio? Zip. Experience? Nada! But, I had written the York Powers That Be a mean essay, waxing philosophic about how I deserved this shot at directorial stardom – at taking Queen Street West by storm. And, it worked! Never mind that once I settled into my new student life, things were remarkably different than I had envisioned they would be. I didn’t spend my free time partying on Queen Street West. Hardly! I lived at a York residence, halfway across the Big Smoke, rarely braving the onehour transit ride downtown. I didn’t even really care about plunging into the nitty-gritty of my chosen craft. In fact, I hardly studied at all. I spent my

time laughing with my new friends, pulling pranks on my res-mates, and genuinely enjoying life. It was the heady ‘80s and I was a starryeyed dreamer. I had never been the pragmatic “doer”. But, somehow, I had made it through my first year of film school, despite my professors’ frequent warnings to the whole class about being one of the “weeded out”. My dreams of music video mastery quickly waned, though, and in second year, I found myself in the more sensible (for me, at least) role of English major, one which has served me well over the years. But deep inside my soul, I still longed for a career in music (though I could barely play a note). After advertising college many moons later, I found myself working as an agent assistant in Toronto for one of Canada’s largest music booking agencies. Finally, I was hobnobbing with Canada’s musical elite! But, I didn’t make the most of the fantastic challenge I had been given because I was desperately homesick. So, back to Kingston I came, knowing full well what I was giving up. Now, 12 years later, every day is proof that returning to Kingston was a good decision. I’m loving my career with the newspaper. I’m discovering that

edging towards 50 can be liberating, and I’m forging new passions, too. At long last, life is changing in positive ways. Having been perennially single, this is actually the first time I’m appreciating the freedom it affords. I’ve adopted two kitties (yes, on my way to Crazy Cat Lady status), am acting in feature thrillers, and loving my exciting new life. And there’s the writing, too. Yes. My hobbies “get my ya-yas out”, as they say. So, youth-driven musical dreams, forgotten – right? Wrong. A knock on my door one month ago proved it. There, on the other side, was a guy I never thought I’d see again (another story, for another day) asking me to manage his band. What?!? So, after the initial “flutter, flutter” – and awkwardness – of seeing someone on my threshold as unexpected as he was, the bigger surprise was the fire for music that burned again in my belly. This revelation made me feel 19 again – even if just for a second. So, I shrugged, laughing, “All right, then, I’ll do it! Guess I’m with the band!” He studied me with those soft brown eyes (damn it!), and smiled. “Yeah, you are, Sherri. This is going to be great!” Uh-huh. And, a little complicated, too, I suspect…

swinging door will act like a fan pushing the hot air out the other side. If there’s limited room in a parking lot, just roll down the windows on the opposite side instead of opening the doors. Watch those wipers A popular feature on some upscale and highly optioned SUV’s and minivans is a rear wiper that comes on automatically when the driver puts the transmission in reverse while the front wipers are on. This is a great feature until you have a bike rack attached to the rear with support straps that lie across the wiper blade and arm. So before you mount such an accessory for your next trip check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you can disarm such a feature if your vehicle has it, or remove the wiper arm if it can’t be disabled.

and construction debris. But there is a way to get this handy coverage if you know how to find it. Two U.S. tire firms, Vanderbilt and GT Radial offer road-hazard warranty at no extra cost on selected passenger car and light truck tires. These are available at many area tire retailers. With a road-hazard warranty, if the tire is left irreparable due to a puncture, a replacement tire is offered on a pro-rated basis. For example, if the tire has 25 per cent wear as indicated by a tread-depth measurement, a customer could expect to pay 25 per cent of the cost of a replacement tire plus installation, balancing, and taxes. Some Goodyear/Dunlop tire retailers will offer a road-hazard plan for a reasonable fee when purchasing new tires. Just ask at the order desk. As well some auto retailers will offer road-hazard warranties in addition to extended vehicle protection plans through their business offices. These are usually only available when purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle. Stifling hot air A quick way to remove stifling hot air from a vehicle parked in the sun is to open the doors on one side and then rapidly open and close a door on the opposite side several times in a row with its window rolled up.

KEYS honours local student-friendly employers with Star and Student Choice awards By Hiba Kesebi Reporter

Gazette News - When it comes to hiring staff, the Gananoque Home Hardware is big on employing students. In fact, of the store’s 75 employees, 12 are students, who take on diverse roles such as cashiers, sales in the paint department and garden centre, shipping and receiving and in their warehouse. “We love our students here at the store and if we get a good student we keep them all through high school, college and university. We don’t let them go,” said Laura Lee Morris, financial controller and HR personnel at the Gananoque Home Hardware, also dubbed Ken O’Connor Building Materials Ltd. The store’s dedication to student employment did not go unnoticed. On July 23 it was recognized by the KEYS Job Centre during their 16th annual Employer Appreciation Breakfast and Award Ceremony. The Gananoque store was one of two businesses to receive the KEYS Star award for their outstanding commitment to student employment. “Ken O’Connor Building Materials do a great job employing students in Gananoque. This is really important because with Gananoque

being a smaller centre, it can be more difficult for students to find summer employment,” explained Alina Newton, KEYS Program Administrator, Summer Jobs Service. “We also noticed that they are especially dedicated to student safety in the workplace,” Newton added, noting the importance of workplace training as those most at risk at getting hurt on the job are students and young people. “We’ve always hired students and we have always been big on workplace safety so to be recognized for our work, is great,” said Morris. The other business to receive a KEYS Star award at the breakfast was the MacLachlan Woodworking Museum. The Museum was recognized for the learning opportunities they offer students to not only improve their skills as museum interpreters, but also to gain relevant work experience. Also recognized was CKVI 91.9 The Cave, a community, not-for-profit radio station that runs as a focus program in the Limestone District School Board. The station was nominated by students to be the recipient of the Student Choice Award. The Cave broadcasts throughout the school year and hires student managers and support volunteers to serve the community during

the summer months. The station also hosts summer job placements in July and August where participants have the opportunity to learn various aspects of radio production, including music, news and highlight pieces. “These employers make a huge impact on students financially. They allow students the

opportunity to attend school and also gain a wide variety of work experience - everything from restaurants to historical sites,” said Newton. This year the KEYS Job Centre will assist over 1,500 students with their job search and coordinate funding for over 500 summer positions.
