Council breaks with procedure, opts to re-tender snowplowing contracts By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — The awarding of tenders for things like snow removal is usually a pretty cut and dried affair. Failing any extenuating circumstances, the job usually goes to the lowest bid. However, when the time came to award the arterial roads snow plowing and sanding/salting contracts for the next five years at South Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham, the process was anything but cut and dried. Two bid packages, one from local contractor Percy Snider and one from Scott’s Snow Removal, were rejected “due to improper bonding requirements.”

CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said that proposals were required to include a $5,000 bid bond and a $5,000 performance security bond. “Failure to provide a security bond is automatic rejection in our bylaw,” he said. The performance bond was communicated to potential bidders via an “addendum” to the tendering requirements. “Addendums are sent to anyone who picks up a tender package and the packages require the bidder to acknowledge the addendum,” said Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth. So, under the strict interpretation of the bylaw, the lowest bidder who did post the performance bond was K. Mulrooney Trucking Ltd. out of Kingston. Scott’s (out of Sharbot Lake) would

have been the lowest bidder on two of Mayor Gary Davison. “Performance six packages up for tender and Snider bonds are for somebody that just shows would have been the low bidder on one up.” of the three packages he bid on.

It’s official, North Frontenac is a Dark Skies Preserve By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News – Just this once, the good citizens of North Frontenac won’t mind being ‘left in the dark.’ Last weekend, councilors, residents and guests from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada gathered at a brand new concrete pad next to the helipad at Fernleigh Airport on 506 to designate the Township as a Dark Sky Preserve. “We recognize that natural darkness is an ecological resource in need of protection and are committed to responsible lighting practices that preserve the beauty and wonder of the dark sky above the Township,” read the citation. “There are 17 Dark Sky Preserves in Canada but this is the first time an entire municipality has been designated,” said Robert Dick, manager of the Canadian Dark Sky Preserve Program and member of the Royal Astronomical Society. “The night environment is just as important as the day environment. “When I told my committee about this, they said ‘are you sure it’s the whole municipality?’” Mayor Bud Clayton said he was pleased to get Frontenac County on board and the entire project was paid for with federal gas tax funds totaling $41,000. “The K & P Trail is a big thing in Frontenac County, and rightfully so, but it stops at Sharbot Lake,”

said Clayton. “So we said ‘hey, what about us?’ “Luckily eco-tourism projects qualify for gas tax funding and this certainly qualifies as that.” Clayton said Coun. Betty Hunter deserved much of the credit for seeing the project to completion, working tirelessly from the beginning. “It has been a challenge . . . and a learning experience,” Hunter said. “But it was a lot of fun.” Resident Gary Caldwell, an avid sky-watcher for 40 years, said he chose North Frontenac specifically for its dark skies when looking for a cottage property. “I had to have a lake close enough to Toronto, or at least an airport, and dark skies,” he said. “My observatory is right near this airport. “When they asked me to get involved, I said ‘are bullfrogs waterproof?’” North Frontenac has the darkest southernmost skies in the civilized world, according to those who track such things. To put that into perspective, on a scale where downtown Toronto is a 9 and the middle of the Gobi Desert is a 1, North Frontenac is a 2.3. “You can see the M-33 galaxy with the naked eye here,” Caldwell said. “To see this (designation and facility) go through without all the usual bureaucratic red tape was wonderful. “I guarantee that when news of this gets out, there will be all sorts

of people visiting here.” The actual facility may not look like much, but the flat concrete pad is light enough to be seen in the dark without causing any light pollution and provides a stable base for some pretty sophisticated gear. There are benches (to lie on and look up from) and power for telescopes that use it. There is no charge to use the facility.

A dog that helps teach children that reading can be fun By: Mandy Marciniak Correspondent

EMC News - For children who have issues reading, the classroom can be a very intimidating place. While they may not realize it, teachers and peers create an overwhelming amount of pressure for kids who have difficulty reading. St. John’s Ambulance and their Paws 4 Stories program is hoping to address these issues and show kids that reading can be relaxing and fun. The program uses dogs that have been trained and certified through St. John’s Ambulance as therapy dogs. After going through a year of certification activities, a dog is ready to enter schools with their handler/owner. “We set it up with the child in a room with the dog beside them and the handler there as well, explained Monique Grambin-White, Unit Coordinator with the Kingston Therapy Dog Unit of St. John Ambulance. “The teacher identifies the child to the handler and sets them up with an appropriate book and the child reads to the dog for about 20 minutes. They do this about once a week, and the idea is that the situation is totally nonjudgmental.”

The child reads along and if they stumble over words, corrections come from the dog instead of the teacher or other adult. “If the child stumbles over a word, the handler will then say to the child ‘I’m sorry but Sandy [the dog] didn’t understand what you said. Can you repeat it for her?’ or ‘Sandy thinks it should be pronounced this way’ and at the end of the 15 to 20 minutes of reading, the handler will ask the child to recap and summarize what they read for Sandy. They are always learning and interacting with the dog and not the adult and that works really, really well.” The program has seen great success, with eight certified dogs currently in seven schools throughout the area. “I wish I had a lot more dogs ready to go in this program - it has been so successful,” said GrambinWhite. “The challenge we face with the program is that our handlers are usually working during the day and therefore unable to go to schools with the dogs. We rely a lot on owners that are retired or have a little bit of a flexible schedule.” The program is directed towards grade school children in Grades

1-4, and this summer it ran as a six week pilot program for Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington out of Harrowsmith Public School. “It is a wonderful program and from our perspective, for our kids, who are just like any other kids who have reading problems, this program is a fantastic way for them to learn and work through these issues,” said John Suart, Manager, Communications & Stakeholder Relations at Family and Children’s Services. “It really does create a warm and friendly environment for these kids to read in and we are so pleased with our friends at St. John’s Ambulance who are able to help us out with this program,” Sandy, the golden retriever, enjoys the program and her owner, Liz, loves seeing the effect reading to Sandy has on the kids. “I think reading with Sandy takes away the pressure,” she says. “When children read in a classroom for their teacher it is usually in a testing environment with a lot of pressure. Reading to Sandy is just relaxed and is very much just for the pleasure of reading. Reading becomes fun for them and shows them that it can be relaxing and that is the most important part.”

RECYCLING COLLECTION SCHEDULE CHANGE Effective September 1, 2013 the recycling collection schedule will change for some South Frontenac residents. The change involves the alternating schedule in which there will be two consecutive ‘Yellow – Paper etc.’ weeks. The August schedule for the ‘Central’ side of the Recycling calendar ends on a ‘Yellow’ week and then the new September schedule begins on a ‘Yellow’ week as well. This change will simplify and make the recycling schedule more efficient for our residents. So, as of September 1st all South Frontenac residents will be on the same schedule and this should eliminate any confusion residents may have about which side of the calendar they should be viewing. The new 2013-2014 Recycling Calendar is viewable on our website and also can be picked up at our Public Works office at 2490 Keeley Rd during business hours. Questions or Concerns?

Blue Skies and Canadian Guitar Festival, different vibes, both good By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Rick Fines can’t exactly remember how many times he’s played the Blue Skies Music Festival. “But in 20 years, I’m on the shirt four times,” he says. His bandmate, Suzie Vinnick, is pretty sure she’s played there six times. But playing the Canadian Guitar Festival this year was a

first for both. They both admitted to more than a little apprehension coming to the Guitar Festival stage Sunday night after doing a workshop and full-band performance at the 40th Anniversary Blue Skies the day before. “This (the Guitar Festival) is a little more intimidating,” said Fines after he and Vinnick laid down a fine exhibition of folksy blues numbers for their one-hour set. “Blue Skies is more like a club

with many, many people coming year after year, some were even conceived at Blue Skies. “Here though, you have a lot of people united by their love of guitars and there are a lot of excellent guitarists performing.” One might say two of whom were Fines and Vinnick, albeit they have slightly different styles than the Don Ross-inspired fingerpicking virtuosos the Guitar Festival has become famous for. “There’s a different energy here,” said Vinnick. “The Guitar Festival is more contemplative and people are listening in different ways. “Blue Skies is more of a party. “But, it’s all good.” Fines agreed. He’s always wanted to come to the Guitar Festival but schedules didn’t mesh. And he’s a self-confessed

performance junkie. “I’d rather be working at a festival than sitting around just listening,” he said. “And, the more I can play at a festival, the happier I am. “At Blue Skies, for example, if I can do four workshops and a main stage, that’s the best.” And he was pleased to be part of the Guitar Festival too. “We took a run at a couple of styles not usually represented here,” he said. “They took in a couple of singer-songwriters

but you’re still getting a whole weekend of guitar riffs.” Guitar Festival artistic director Del Vezeau said before this year’s festival that he was trying to expand its musical boundaries somewhat, and the inclusion of Fines/Vinnick and bluegrass legend Dan Crary were an excellent start. Vezeau suggested he might step down as AD next year to see what directions another person might take the festival while preserving its fingerpicking guitar roots.

Experiencing Kingston By Canoe areas. Fittingly, he combined these interests to create Kingston By Canoe, a summer job he made for himself with the help of the Ontario Government, KEDCO and the Ontario Network of Entrepreneurs. “I wanted to show people around Kingston in a really unique way,” he explained, noting that he has so far seen a good mixture of Kingstonians and tourists. “Mainly it’s people who are looking for a little bit of adventure and also a little bit of education at the same time, or people who are just looking for something fun to do.” As we paddled on up the Cataraqui River and over to the St. Lawrence River, David and I enjoyed some friendly conversation, and he explained to me the history of many of the buildings that can be found along Kingston’s shoreline. As we passed the Martello tower in Confederation Basin, David paddled right up close, and encouraged me to reach out and touch the historic structure. “One of the really cool design features of the Martello towers – of which there are four – is that they have no doors,” he said, explaining that the British soldiers who built them would have entered the towers through a window using a ladder, then pulled the ladder inside to make sure no one could follow them inside. “The outer walls are about three times as thick as the inner walls facing their own fortification behind them,” David continued. “That was so if the Americans ever did actually capture a tower, the British could blow up their

EMC Lifestyle - I came across David Rakowski’s Kingston By Canoe tour while looking for a piece to work on for the Heritage’s Summer Company series. I was halfway through my introductory email when I realized the business was an even better fit for the water adventures series I’ve been working on. In fact, of all the water activities I have done so far this summer, canoeing is the only one I have had some experience with. About once or twice a summer when I was a kid, my mom and I would take out the ancient canoe at my grandparents’ cottage and paddle five minutes downstream to a nearby swamp. It was a big deal if we saw a frog, a huge deal if a turtle was spotted, and an absolute joy if we caught a glimpse of the great blue heron who resided there. We saw some pretty interesting birds on David’s canoe tour, too. As we paddled out of Confederation Basin, which serves as home base for Kingston By Canoe, I saw a large, almost heron-like black bird sitting on a log. “What’s that?” I asked. “That’s a cormorant,” David answered, and immediately I felt silly for not recognizing such a common bird. Clearly, I have a lot to learn about nature. And, as several of these water excursions have taught me, I also have a few things to learn about the history of my hometown, too. As an avid outdoors enthusiast and holder of a degree in history and politics, David is an expert in both these

Then as a teacher, I still want to have a part-time business on the side.” David added that he hopes Kingston By Canoe also helps to open people’s eyes to how wonderful the sport can be. “If you come down to the dock [at Confederation Basin], you’ll see the two canoes, that are mine, surrounded by tons of power boats,” he said. “I think canoeing just simplifies things and gets you closer to the water, gets you active, gets you more interested in Kingston By Canoe’s David Rakowski. nature and KingsPhoto/ Hollie Pratt-Campbell

own tower from behind.” I counted yet another very interesting local historical fact I had not previously been aware of. Another thing that struck me on our tour was how easy canoeing felt compared to kayaking, which I tried for the first time a few weeks ago – though admittedly it probably had something to do with the fact that David was doing most of the work, paddling and steering the boat from the back. Indeed, he informed me part way through that in fact I wasn’t required to paddle at all, and that as a certified canoe guide he was more than capable of navigating the boat solo, even with a passenger up front. David noted that for those who have little to no canoeing experience, it’s usually best to get used to the activity while in the company of an expert. “Having a certified canoe guide accompany you is a lot safer when you’re starting out,” he said. I asked him what the experience has been like from his perspective, taking all sorts of people out on canoeing adventures. He noted that the business has made for some very interesting memories. “One of the best ones was where a mom and her daughter came on the trip,” he said. “The daughter really, really wanted to jump in the water, and as we pulled into the pier at RMC, and she jumped in. Somehow, she convinced me to jump in to, The mom was holding onto the boat at the pier, so we took a quick dunk for a minute then paddled back.” David remarks that the experience

Kingston-based Charity Receives CIDA Grant By Kelly Reid Reporter

EMC News - The Buy-a-Net Malaria Prevention group (BAN) is non-profit organization that got its start in Kingston in 2004. It was founded by nurse Debra Lefebvre after an eye-opening trip to Uganda in which she witnessed the devastation of malaria. Now, BAN looks forward to a busy year of programming ahead as it approaches its 10th birthday. Recently, Buy-a-Net was named a grant recipient by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The grant will provide 80 per cent of Buy-a-Net’s funding for their “Heal – One Village at a Time” project. “The Heal Project,” says BAN board member Gail Fones, “has as its major goal the reduction of maternal and child mortality in three districts.” The three districts are all located in Uganda, because it faces the highest burden of malaria in the world. BAN distributes insecticide-treated bed nets as well as medicines that treat malaria. BAN also partners with local hospitals in Uganda to do community education about prevention and health. “Our project is going to reach an estimated 65,000 people at the household level,” Fones says. “The emphasis always is on the 14,000 children under the age of five and the 15,000 women of childbearing age. Those are the two major targets. I can’t tell you how sad it is to hold a mother who’s just lost her second child to malaria. It’s a prevent-

able and treatable disease.” As part of the project, nurses from Ugandan hospitals will do monthly village visits for outreach and education. “The level of accountability and recording will provide statistics that they’ve never had before,” Fones is proud to say. “It’s so exciting I could just jump out of my skin.” BAN hopes that soon they will be able to broaden the focus of their work in Uganda. “Since 2006, the goal of achieving a CIDA grant has been part of our strategic planning,” Fones continues. Now that the group has the CIDA funding secured, they look forward to being able to expand their programming to include areas such as malnutrition, sex education, and reproductive health. “Child bearing in Uganda can be a death sentence,” Fones says. In order to supplement the 80 per cent funding promised by CIDA, BAN will be fundraising and accepting donations for the final 20 per cent. BAN reaches out to rotary groups, church communities, school children and universities. They currently also have the support of both the Canadian Federation of Nurses Union and the Canadian Nurses Association. To date, the Buy-a-Net Malaria Prevention group has protected and treated more than 300,000 people in Uganda. It is the first Canadian volunteerdriven charity aimed at saving lives from malaria.

Are newspapers dying? Nah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just getting older like everything else Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Editorial - We hear a lot of talk lately about the death of newspapers. Some of it is justified and certainly the unemployed former staff of the Rocky Mountain News, Baltimore Examiner, Albuquerque Tribune, Halifax Daily News, The Meadow Lake Progress, Midland Free Press and Beausejour Review would likely agree. In the last little while, all sorts of journalists saw their quotas cut back (for want of a better word) and it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a good time to be a photojournalist in particular. (Google the Chicago Sun-Times laying off its entire photographic department and even long-time local photog mainstay Rob Mooy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shooting for a newspaper after 28 years.) So, are newspapers really dying? Well, yes, actually many are. The days of big city newspaper wars, where every market has two or three dailies duking it out for readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes and the resultant advertising dollars they generate are pretty

much done. There was a time when owning a newspaper was like having a licence to print money. Roy Thomson (and others) used newspapers to generate daily cash flow while they invested in other operations (shipping, oil, other natural resources) that took time to produce huge returns. Others, like Conrad Black for example, managed to parlay media conglomerates into mega-fortunes. That business model is done, however. Time to take those two examples off the biz school required reading list. But does this mean that all newspapers are destined to disappear in the near future? Of course not. To a certain extent, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just part of the communications world balancing itself. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true there are a plethora of media choices these days that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist when Lord Thomson got going (he actually began his career as a radio repair shop owner), it certainly seems like there may be an upper limit on just how many media â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outletsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Planet Earth can sustain. But the thing is, there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be any definitive ratio of what those outlets must be. For example, cable, phone and

satellite-TV providers lost 380,000 net video customers in the second quarter this year according to WSJ Live, the Wall Street Journalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video outlet. Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turning out that the world doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need umpteen dozen 24-hour news channels and while it was unique and new, CNN was a good idea. But now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of many and when it comes right down to it, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really that much â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on a 24-hour news cycle worth watching. For those who argue that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the internetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has given people a viable alternative to traditional news sources, well, just what â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outlets has the Net really given birth to anyways? Most of the internet news sites are merely the online presence of other news-gathering organizations, and so far the online sites havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really generated a buckload of ad dollars. Of course having to have an internet presence in the first place costs money and that too has added to the demise of some newspapers. Web designers cost more than reporters for the most part. But, none of all this means that newspapers will one day cease to exist. Like everything else, however, they will have to evolve to survive.

In Our Opinion

Exotic pets are for the zoo EMC Editorial - Canada, and indeed the world, was shocked two weeks ago when news broke that a pet/snake had taken the lives of two young boys from Campbellton, New Brunswick. Contrary to initial reports, The four metre-long African rock python was being kept on the top floor, and not within the pet store itself. It is thought that the snake slipped out of its enclosure, made its way through the ventilation shaft and dropped down to the living room where the boys were sleeping. We believe that this tragedy should serve as a prime example of why exotic pets should not be kept in residential homes. It should not matter if the owner feels they have a special bond with the animal, has significant experience handling the animals, or that they are being cared for as well as possible in captivity. All that it takes is one misstep such as a forgetting to double-latch the enclosure, and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives are put at risk. African

rock pythons are not legally allowed to be kept as pets in New Brunswick. They are wily creatures; zoo keepers always keep them in double locked enclosures, and any soft spots such as vents are double-barricaded Obviously, not all exotic pets carry with them the same risks. Monkeys, birds and lizards do not have the ability to crush a person the way a python does. Ultimately, however, we must remember that the issue is as much about the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety and wellbeing as it is our own. It cannot be doubted that they feel much more at ease in their natural habitat than swinging from our light fixtures. These are not domesticated animals such as dogs and cats that have evolved beside us for millennia. They are as close to the wild as a crocodile in the Australian Outback, a polar bear in the Arctic Circle, or a hippopotamus in the African Savannah. They owe us nothing, and oftentimes, it shows.

Also, some may find the creamy texture of unpasteurized honey to be more versatile. It can be spread on toast like butter, for instance. “There’s a current theory that if you eat honey from a local area, it’ll benefit allergies because of all the pollen in it,” Wilson goes on. Though Wilson doesn’t say whether he himself puts any stock in this theory, he does say that many people believe it to be true. In a few months, Wilson’s bees will be going dormant for the winter.

Wolfe Island’s Family Ball Tournament includes “Provincial Surprise” by Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news- A two hour wait for the Wolfe Island ferry was not uncommon during the August long weekend as family and friends headed home for the island’s 28th Annual Family Ball Tournament. Twenty-seven family teams, including one new family began playing Friday evening in the A & B Divisions., at the Community Centre ball diamonds and at Sacred Heart school. (The Community Centre is also home to the island’s NHL sized rink.) With that many 15+member teams, with 9 persons (always with 4 women) on the field, means that there were as many as 400 players during the weekend. “play two and barbecue “ was the theme… Hundreds of spectators circled the diamonds during play cheering teams on. A constant stream of people drifted up to the centre during the day, just to check the score board. It was perfect weather for the most part, but heavy rain Friday night brought out many volunteers in the early am to slush out water and prepare the diamonds for Saturday’s day of play according to Amanda Kyle, tournament organizer and member of WI’s Community Centre Board. “Much thanks to our wonderful volunteers. I don’t how we could have finished without their help,” she said. Over 500 people lined the “B” Diamond at the Commu-

nity Centre as the A and B Championship games took place on Saturday Night. Some watching the game and some visiting, but all having fun! The awards presentation followed immediately with Amanda at the helm.

First Up was a surprise presentation from Mayor Denis Doyle. To the delight and loud cheers of the home crowd, most members of life long island families, the Mayor announced that Frontenac Islands- Wolfe Island ward was successful in its bid for a $75,000 Ontario Trillium Grant to go towards a roof over the rink. “ There have been a number of successful fund raising efforts (Hockeyville, Music Fest, etc.) that raised many thousands of dollars already,” he said. “The $75,000 Trillium grant will go a long way. Councillor Springgay, Councillor Grant and I recently approved going ahead with the roof and having it up by fall hopefully for an extended season through to the end of March.” Doyle read from MPP John Gerretsen’s letter of regret at not being there for the announcement of the provincial grant. “I am aware that putting a roof over the ice pad has received a great deal of attention from islanders. Congratulations to everyone in the community for their dedication and commitment to fund raising. I look forward to attending an event celebrating the opening of the roof hopefully sometime in November,” his letter concluded to more very loud cheers…

It was presented by Mark Lollar. Lollar noted the presence of 1962/63 Sacred Heart Pee Wee team members. “There was talk about a roof then and now its happening, “ he said. Extra prizes came from the Casey’s, WI Grill owners “ Thanks to All,” Amanda said as the day concluded. “See you, same time next year “ Some points of interest: Founders of WI the Family Ball Tournament were Jim Kyle, Bernie Fargo, & Elwin McKenna.

Accepting the imperfect By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Editorial - When I went for my first ever job interview, my dad gave me some sage advice: “They’re probably going to ask you what you see as your biggest strength, then what you see as your biggest weakness,” he said. “For your biggest weakness, try to say something that is actually a strength. For instance, you can tell them you tend to be too much of a perfectionist.” Truth be told, I really am a bit of a perfectionist, and while it probably does help me more than it hinders me on the job, my perfectionism can turn my personal life into a bit of a

nightmare when things don’t turn out the way I envisioned. I’ve written about this concept before in relation to having a baby, and how hard it was for me to deal with the fact that motherhood is not as beautiful and perfect as so many make it out to be. The same can be said for many of the date nights Steve and I have been on since Summer was born. Having time to ourselves seems so rare and wonderful, it’s easy for me to get worked up about trying to make sure they’re as fun and memorable as they can possibly be. Take the August long weekend. Steve and I have a tradition of going to Montreal every August long weekend to celebrate our wedding

anniversary. This year, we waited too long to book our favourite hotel, and had to postpone our trip. Already, I was hugely disappointed. Still, we were determined to make the most of things, and asked my parents to watch Summer on the Friday night while we went out for dinner and to the 75 Years of Modern Music concert at Fort Henry. I made our reservations (at a restaurant that shall go unnamed) super early to ensure there was absolutely no way we couldn’t enjoy a relaxed dinner without having to worry about getting to the show on time. The service was, in a word, horrible. We sat there for 20 minutes without being acknowledged by wait staff, and I literally had to wave my hands in the air like a mad person to get someone to take our order. About 15 minutes after the waiter finally

rendition of Kashmir, the show was rained out. It was the second last song of the evening, but I was still crushed. Despite the less-than-great weather, I had been enjoying the concert. It was nice to just sit back, relax and take something in for a couple hours. Frustrated, I stood up and moved with the sea of people toward the exit. All of a sudden, some loud bangs caused us to look to the sky. Despite the light drizzle, we were being treated to a magnificent display of fireworks – presumably the show’s intended finale. They were so high-quality and so near to the audience it was hard not to be moved to a state of awe. As I watched the fireworks, I did my best to put the negative aspects evening out of my mind and savour the magic of the moment. Finding beauty and enjoyment in our perfectly imperfect night out wasn’t easy for someone like me to do, but who knows – maybe nights like those will help me mend my perfectionist ways. And the fireworks certainly helped, too. R0012252331

did show up, he returned to tell us the restaurant was no longer serving either the appetizer we wanted or the entrée I ordered. By then I knew my plans for a stress-free night were out the window, and I began frantically checking my watch, concerned that we were going to be late for the concert. As it turned out, we did make it on time, though barely. Mother Nature, however, was not cooperative. The calendar read Aug. 2, but the temperature made it feel more like Oct. 2, and I cursed myself for wearing a skirt as I huddled next to Steve for warmth. The wind was also very strong, and though the music itself was excellent (you really can’t go wrong with the Kingston Symphony, Emily Fennell, and the many other talented musicians who performed that night), the microphones kept picking up the wind, taking away from what I had imagined would be a perfect summer’s evening of music outdoors.

14 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, August 15, 2013

By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A request for South Frontenac to come up with a property standards bylaw was rejected at Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The request came from the Verona Community Association. Coun. John McDougall, who lives just outside Verona, argued for the request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some properties in Verona you would not want to live beside,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Gary Davison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are one or two properties in this village (Sydenham) that could use a little tuneup too.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting into property standards would cost us a fortune,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Del Stowe. CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said the matter was discussed at the Corporate Services Committee meeting July 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Committee is of the opinion that the current Safe Properties Bylaw is adequate to protect residents,â&#x20AC;? Orr said in

his report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furthermore, the Committee does not endorse the expenditure of resources to develop or enforce standards of good taste with regard to how individuals and businesses keep their properties beyond the provision of the current bylaw.â&#x20AC;? The Safe Properties Bylaw addresses issues of rubbish, debris, weeds, building materials, scarp and junk material, standing water and structures from the perspective of safety, risk of fire and rodent control. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ A request to purchase a boat launch by members of a cottage association on Sherbrooke Drive Land in Bedford District was unanimously turned down by South Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a policy that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell land that leads to water,â&#x20AC;? said Planner/Deputy Clerk Lindsay Mills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agree that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell it because then the association could say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the public using it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Ron

Vandewal. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ In another 5-4 recorded vote, Council decided to pay an extra $1,000 ($4,000 was budgeted) to get a relief statue of the new South Frontenac Coat of Arms for its chambers in Sydenham. Although Coun. Bill Robinson, Del Stowe, Ron Vandewal and Larry York disagreed, Mayor Gary Davison cast the deciding vote to pay the $5,000, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is probably the only mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair around without a chain of office.â&#x20AC;? Chief proponents for paying the cost overrun for the statue were Coun. Al McPhail and John McDougall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important from a history aspect,â&#x20AC;? McPhail said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were fortunate to have a councilor (Mark Tinlin) with knowledge of heraldry and he worked hard on this project.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think rejecting this would be looking at it in a very short-sighted way,â&#x20AC;? said McDougall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a community that is very proud of its history.â&#x20AC;?

Young boy has a unique birthday wish By Kelly Reid Reporter

EMC News - On Aug. 24, the Sweeny family will be celebrating the fifth birthday their son Alex with friends and family at a local horse farm. This birthday party will be particularly special for the Sweeny family because of a request that Alex has made. He has asked all of his party guests to make a donation to the Kingston Human Society (KSH) in lieu of bringing a present. The Sweenys have been volunteering as a family with KHS for the past year. “The idea spurred from conversations in the car on the way to the Humane Society one day when we were donating our previous dog’s old dog bed to the shelter,” explains Alex’s stepmother, Kim Sweeny. “Alex made the connection that it was

like giving the animals a present. He suggested giving the toys to the animals and it went off from there. What a big heart! We are very proud of him.” The Sweenys provided the invitees of Alex’s party with a Kingston Humane Society “wish list”. The wish list includes items that the Humane Society needs to stay operational, such as leashes, collars, litter, treats and food bowls, as well as office goods such as copy paper and markers. After collecting the items at the party, the family will then bring them to the Humane Society. The family has specifically requested wish list items rather than cash, so Kim says that there is no real monetary goal in mind. “While Alex certainly does love animals and enjoy his time interacting with them at the Humane Society, I would say what

makes it really special for Alex is the sense of purpose he has when he is there,” Kim continues. Some of Alex’s volunteer duties include dog walking, bunny hugging, and cat cuddling. Alex does these jobs alongside his two-and-a-half year old brother, Elliot. “My partner and I were both very involved in volunteer activities prior to having children

and noticed we had dropped off in our community service since starting a family,” says Kim. “So we brainstormed ways to volunteer together as a family and teach our children value of community service.” Now, Alex is leading by example. “The staff recognize the boys as volunteers and thank them for their work,” Kim says. “In a

society where children are often made to feel insignificant and told they are too young or little to help, I think Alex really feels important and has a sense of pride in being able to help out and contribute.” To see the Kingston Humane Society’s wish list to make a donation, or to learn more about volunteering with the KHS, please visit www. kingstonhumanesociety.ca.

Places to explore and things to experience

Chronicles of Quinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sailing history history on the water. The mid-19th Century was a prime era for Quinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sailing trade. During the development of the Rideau Canal, it was obvious that trade via water offered grand opportunities. Many wharves were built around South Bay on the Isle of Quinte. Shipbuilding became a prime industry of the region. During Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prohibition Era, illegal rum-running offered great payoffs to Canadians willing to take the risk of transporting booze to the U.S. Some of the tools of the rum-running trade are on display at Marinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Museum. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even see a dinghy used to ferry liquor from larger boats across the waters of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River to American shores. These and countless other artifacts are on display at Prince Edward Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique museum. Marinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Museum was founded in 1967 by Willis Metcalfe, a well-known marine history buff in the Quinte region. Many hundreds of pieces document the history of early vessels, both sail and steam, of the Great Lakes. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see early motors, various types of engines, deck houses, and an early birch bark canoe from the 1700s on display. Mariners Park Museum documents and examines the impact of marine life and sailing on Prince Edward County. Residents earned their living on the waters from fishing and shipbuilding. Careers also included ice harvesting and rum running. Local farmers, many of whom also

worked in shipbuilding and sailing, moved grains like barley via huge sailing ships along Lake Ontario. In addition to volunteering their time, the people of the county have been generous in supplying the museum with artifacts. Local divers in the 1960s and 1970s helped the museum get established. Many people came forward to donate items related to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marine history. Exhibits are featured in themed displays. Many of the artifactsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; origins remain unknown, but staff members are gradually cataloguing their collection and unearthing the history. For example, the rum-running dinghy on display comes from famous rum-runner Gentleman Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boat. A binnacle is one of the most beautiful artifacts on display. A binnacle is an upright waist-high casing containing the compass of a ship and a light, typically an oil lamp, for viewing it at night. It was located on a shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deck and offered a protected shelter where delicate navigational instruments could be placed for easy reference. The largest item on exhibit at the museum is the lighthouse in the park in front of the building. It came from False Duck Island, just off the southeast shores of the Isle of Quinte. Built in 1829, it was the second lighthouse built on the Great Lakes and the oldest in Prince Edward County.

EMC Lifestyle - A Bermuda Triangle in eastern Ontario? Illegal underground trafficking in booze? Who knew that the Isle of Quinte was ever such a hotbed of intrigue and mystery? Just off the eastern shore of the beautiful isle, the Quinte Triangle has claimed far more ships than the famed location near Bermuda. The Bermuda Triangle, located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico, is reported to have swallowed a number of ships and aircraft. But many ships and hundreds of people have been lost off the shores of nearby Quinte in Prince Edward County. More than 280 ships have been salvaged and more than 50 shipwreck sites still remain close to Marinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Museum on Quinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Bay. The museum documents it all and tells the story of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marine past with nautical artifacts. We often associate the arrival of the railway with the development of Canada as a nation. But before there were rails, watercraft ruled the world. Sailing contributed to the great explorations that opened North America. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth is closely tied to the history of water transportation. Early explorers and settlers ventured into regions that could only be reached by water. At first, that meant canoe travel along lakes and rivers. Later, canals were built to aid in water transportation. Prince Edward County has a grand

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Bridges to other worlds EMC Lifestyle - The analysis of my fascination with bridges will be left to those who possess greater wisdom. All I know is that I love bridges: looking at them, taking photographs of them, walking across them, exploring under and around them, flying above them and climbing them. They enchant me like few other human-made structures can. Bridges take us to new places, lands, and worlds. Maybe it’s my Celtic blood, always wanting to wander and explore. During my high school years, I cut across a field between my home and school. I trekked across a small bridge over a creek four times daily. When I’m in New York City, there’s nothing I enjoy more than exploring the bridges of Central Park or walking the Brooklyn Bridge for no other reason than the experience of walking it. I remember a flight I took from Hawaii to San Francisco, landing in the California city near sunset. The pilot was on his retiring flight, and this was the last commercial landing of his career. He announced that we were in a holding pattern as the airport was busy. He may have done this on purpose: We circled above the Golden Gate Bridge for several minutes. I was mesmerized. There’s something magical, or at least mystical, about bridges. Every time I sit near one a story comes into my awareness. Somewhere under or around that bridge there’s an entrance to another world, a magical world full of fairies and wondrous sights, secret treasures, hidden knowledge. In Kingston, we have our own musical bridge. The LaSalle Causeway recently attained some glory for its rendition of

O Canada. Jared Coleman and John Sanfilippo recorded the sounds of many vehicles crossing the bridge. Depending on variables like velocity, type of tire and weight of vehicle, you can hear different pitches. After recording these sounds, Coleman and Sanfilippo spliced them together to form a bridge-humming version of Canada’s national anthem. You can search “LaSalle Causeway O Canada” on the Internet and you’ll find the video and hear the bridge sing. Some of the must-see bridges of the world include: The Brooklyn Bridge, The Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), The Tower Bridge (London), The Ha’penny Bridge (Dublin, over the River Liffey), the covered bridges of Pennsylvania, Chapel Bridge (Europe’s oldest 1333 - wooden bridge, Switzerland), Sydney Harbour Bridge (Australia), Rialto Bridge (Venice), Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Hungary), China’s Wind and Rain Bridge (no nails or rivets used) on the Linxi River), and Pont du Gard Aqueduct in France. The Point du Gard was constructed by the Romans more than two thousand years ago. No mortar was used. Some of the stones weigh more than six tons. Each was cut with great precision to fit perfectly. Canada doesn’t have any worldfamous bridges. For sure, there’s Confederation Bridge, linking Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. It’s known as the longest bridge over ice in the world, a dubious distinction. There’s also New Brunswick’s Hartland Bridge, the world’s longest covered bridge. One of the reasons I love this region in eastern Ontario is the existence of the 1000 Islands Bridges,

The Gapstow Bridge in Central Park, New York City, takes visitors away from the city into a beautiful, relaxing environment. Photo/Mark Bergin including the world’s shortest international bridge (between Canada and US Customs). Nearby, just across the border, are some stunning examples of bridges. In Pennsylvania’s Amish country you’ll find numerous covered bridges that will take you back in time. One of the most famous bridges in the world, The Brooklyn Bridge, links Manhattan with Brooklyn. It opened to the public on May 24, 1883. The bridge plays a prominent role in the movie Kate and Leopold,

where it serves as a portal between the 21st Century and 1883. On opening day, 1,800 vehicles crossed the bridge. Today, that number is 140,000. Hundreds of thousands of people enjoy walking (or biking/rolling) across the bridge. The walkway is above the traffic. One lane is for walkers. Another is for bikes, roller blades, scooters and any other kind of nonmotorized wheeled transport. Brooklyn Bridge has become one of the world’s love-lock locations. The trend started in Italy and spread to Par-

is and New York City, and now many other cities. The newfound tradition can be traced to Italian author Federico Moccia’s book Three Meters Above the Sky. Readers of the book started using love padlocks on the bridge Ponte Milvio in Rome, but the tradition can be traced to Serbia during the Second World War, when young women wanted to protect their lovers.

EMC Lifestyle - Virgil Garrett was born on a farm in eastern Ontario in 1922. He lives today in Sharbot Lake and owns a 1916 Model T Ford purchased in pieces about 50 years ago. He took the car out for an “off road” spin about three years ago: “It started with a fellow shop instructor who casually mentioned I should own a Model T. After parting with a few dollars, I became the owner of a frame, springs, engine running gear, body, and a few extra parts. I had obtained my driver’s license on a Model T and felt the necessary parts for restoration could be found somewhere. Cleaning the engine of grease, grime, and dirt, revealed serial number C98603, which matched the same number on the brass nameplate under the dash. My car is a Canadian-made 1916 model. “Extra parts are where you find them: fence corners, stone piles, ga-

rages, flea markets, or old barns. Help came from friends, neighbours and even strangers in finding a radiator, round gas tank, coal-oil sidelights, turtle deck, windshield, wheels with wooden felloes (a wooden rim inside the outer metal rim into which spokes fit), and 30x31/2 tires (daughter Anne bought her dad new tires in 2000). I also acquired a 1916 hard cover owner’s manual with detailed information essential in a restoration. “I removed dirt with a wire brush, sanded parts to bare metal, undercoated the body, and filled pits which were then re-sanded to a smooth finish so I could paint them. I also welded broken parts, and shaped new body metal, which was formed, fitted, and fastened together with rivets and wood screws. Wooden parts were also rebuilt, seats reupholstered, back cushions pinned in place, while top and top pads were re-sewn. And if pieces are missing, you make new ones, as I did. The restoration offset the many frustrations I went through to reach the finished product. “I have many Model T memories: driving my first car over gravel roads

bit, we’ve used popsicle sticks at times. As for prizes, we’ve used such treasures as winner gets to pick the treat of the afternoon (popsicles or ice cream) or what we have for dinner. It’s a healthy game, physically and emotionally. You’ll notice that no purchase of plastic or electronic toys is required. It is played outdoors. And, it’s good for all ages, from toddlers to slow-moving greatgrandparents. Parents and teens love it, too. It taps into some universal childhood that is good for all of us. Carl Jung might have proposed that bridge symbolism has something to do with transitions and Freudians would invariably find some unconscious sexual reference. I prefer the simpler approach. A bridge is a magical entrance to another world. Most of all, you need a bridge to play Pooh Sticks.

The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the world’s most famous and iconic bridges. Opened in 1833, hundreds of thousands of people have walked it. Vehicles travel on a level below the wooden walkway. Photo/Mark Bergin

A young woman in love would write her own name and her cherished one’s name on a padlock and affix it to the railing of Serbia’s Most Ljubavi (Bridge of Love). Over the past decade, locks have been appearing on bridges around the world, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia. In Ottawa, you can now find hundreds of love locks on the pedestrian bridge crossing the Rideau Canal between the University of Ottawa and Somerset Street. I think it’s a wonderful tradition, and provided it doesn’t affect the structural integrity of the bridge, I think they should be left alone. I checked with an engineer and he rolled his eyes and told me it might just give bureaucrats a reason to create another set of rules, regulations and policies. In other words, he wasn’t worried about these things affecting the structural integrity of bridges; he was more concerned about paperpushers’ obsessions. Central Park in New York has many bridges and arches that serve as bridges. I’ve spent many hours sitting and staring at Gapstow Bridge in the park’s southeast corner. It’s one of the most inspirational and stunningly beautiful bridges in the world.

Perhaps it’s just a matter of fond memories opening my heart to associating bridges with love. As a child, I would go fishing with my father. Nothing serious. Just pleasant time together. We’d find a bridge, sit on it and drop our fishing lines into the water. I also have fond memories of walking barefoot across a bridge near cottages we rented in Sylvan Beach or Saranac Lake, New York. The most significant childhood memory (that includes my own children) is playing the game of Pooh Sticks. If you’re not familiar with it, Pooh Sticks comes from the writings of British author A. A. Milne in House at Pooh Corner. All you need to play the game is a running stream of water, a bridge (preferably a small wooden footbridge) and a stick. Any number of players drop (no throwing allowed) their sticks or twigs into the water on the upstream side of the bridge, run to the downstream side and watch to see whose comes out first. I’ve played this game with my family in many locations, including on a small wooden bridge over a stream on the grounds of Blarney Castle in Ireland and in secluded waters in Hawaii. There aren’t a lot of rules, but the stick must be a natural twig of some sort. Extending the rules a

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, you have a firm grasp on what you need to accomplish in the week ahead. Stay focused on your tasks and that focus will pay off by the end of the week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, your financial burden is a little easier this week. Perhaps you have caught up on bills or have received a little extra money you didn’t expect. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, whether you are in a relationship or are looking for a new romantic partner, the next few days are the moments for putting on the charm. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, many things need to get done this week before you can set work aside and take a much-needed vacation. Once you get through the bulk of things, you can relax. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Save some of your good fortune for others, Leo. When you share the wealth, not only will you feel better about yourself, but also you will certainly have more friends around you. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Without you the well-oiled wheels of the work machine just won’t spin correctly, Virgo. That can put a lot of pressure on you in your career, so weigh the options of a day off. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, sometimes you have to be the voice of reason, and this won’t always make you popular with others. Though some may not rally around you this week, they’ll relent. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Something that seemed like a good idea at first glance may not seem like the best thing to do right now, Scorpio. Switch gears while you can still take another path. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, although you may rather spend your time doing something else for the next few days, handle your upcoming obligations without complaint. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Surround yourself with close friends, Capricorn. They will serve as your anchor in difficult situations that may come to pass this week. It’s good to have a support system. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – There is more to you than others see, Aquarius. Sometimes you relish in being mysterious, and this is one of those times. Others’ interest will be piqued. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Don’t take any sniffles or sneezes for granted, Pisces. Make sure this week you pay attention to your health to ensure good days ahead.

Washington and Wahlberg team up in fun buddy-cop film My Take By mARK HAsKins

MOVIE: 2 Guns STARRING: Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton, James Marsden, Edward James Olmos, Canada and Bill Jack Paxton DIRECTOR: Baltasar By JoHn tUcKER Kormakur RATING: 14A EMC Arts - I love a slick buddy-cop film. The kind of gritty crime story where your two heroes have everything and everyone against them, and all they have are their wits, their guns and a few clever one-liners. 2 Guns is just that kind of film.

Bobby (Denzel Washington) and Stig (Mark Wahlberg) open things up with what looks like a bank robbery. Earlier they made a deal with a Mexican drug lord named Papi Greco (Edward James Olmos). Papi backed out of the deal so the two figure they can get something back by robbing Papi’s bank. What neither Bobby nor Stig realize is that both of them are working undercover. Bobby is undercover DEA, and Stig is working for naval intelligence. The other thing neither one realizes is that it isn’t Papi’s bank. It is the CIA’s. Someone set Bobby and Stig up to rob an illegal CIA slush fund. Both become wanted men abandoned and betrayed by their own people. The only way out is to work together to figure out who set them up. Of course by that point you almost feel sorry for the villains. There’s a real cathartic pleasure in watching two charismatic heroes with nothing to lose, and who refuse to let the law get in the way of what’s right, do what needs to be done. 2 Guns has that along with some betrayal, corruption, and a double cross or two. Throw in a few gun fights, a little sex appeal, and the kind of sleazy villains that make your skin crawl, and you have a great summer flick.

s ’ d i v Da

With all that going for 2 Guns, there are two things that really stand out. One is the pace of the film. It isn’t a non-stop gun fight or car chase which is kind of unusual for a summer movie. Instead director Kormakur takes the time to draw the audience into this seedy and corrupt world. He builds up the story and the characters and intersperses the action almost sparingly which serves to make it more exciting. The second thing is the team of Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. Washington can play anything, is good in anything, and makes whatever movie he’s in better. Wahlberg is a great action hero and good actor in his own right. The two together are buddy cop magic. The play between them alone is worth the price of admission. The rest of the cast isn’t hurting the film either. Paula Patton adds some sizzle to the screen, James Marsden does a nice turn as a rotten guy, and Edward James Olmos nails the ruthless Mexican drug lord. Then there’s Bill Paxton. Paxton plays Earl the CIA agent messing with everyone, and I must say Paxton has a real knack for playing truly nasty villains. 2 Guns is a summer time gem. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Mother was in a fit state for Aunt Lizzie’s visit down the stairs! But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use. That is, all except Father. He wanted no part of what he considered unnecessary work. He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Mother’s frantic house cleaning was over! My sister and I also had to give up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out. What a carry-on, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina! Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County! There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzie’s visit lasted! So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to baking. The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of store-bought bread, and a real pound of butter

replaced what we ate every day of our lives on the farm. Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Father was concerned, he wasn’t about to change his habits just because Aunt Lizzie was coming with her highfallootin airs! Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special. One time it was a doll, which, except for its body, was made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China. I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train in Renfrew Station. She always wore pure white...a white dress in the latest fashion....and a big wide red leghorn hat, and white gloves that went all the way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring!! Tiny red patent-leather shoes completed the outfit. I would marvel at the wealth of our Western cousins. Didn’t her two sons go to university? And didn’t she have a free pass to travel anywhere in the entire country by train. All because Uncle Jack worked for the CPR. And of course, it was Aunt Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send

it off to Renfrew on the train. It was the hand-me-down box. Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit. Finally, the house was spotless. We were warned to take our shoes off at the door, not to touch the woodwork which had just been polished, and to make sure our bedrooms were kept spotlessly clean – a tall order for five rambunctious kids. Aunt Lizzie was to arrive in three days. We couldn’t be more ready. Then the phone rang one morning, just after our breakfast. It was the stationmaster in Renfrew. There was a telegram from the West. Mother asked him to read it...no use going all the way into town for bad news, or good news, whatever the case may be. It was from Aunt Lizzie, and she was so sorry, but her trip had to be cancelled, because Uncle Jack was getting an unexpected award from the CPR, and it was on the very weekend she planned on leaving! They had been given a trip to Calgary. Her trip would have to wait until the next summer. Mother asked the stationmaster to read it again. After she hung up the phone, she let out the biggest sigh which I thought could be heard in Douglas! For supper that night Mother hauled out a pie from the ice box, we all had store-bought bread with real butter, we five kids sat at the table with our shoes on, and there sat Father with his tea in his saucer, cooling it off until it was fit to drink.
