Official Plan to recognize the rural nature of Frontenac County By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — “We’re not the GTA, we’re a rural area,” Frontenac County manager of sustainability planning Joe Gallivan said last week at the Sydenham Library, in the third of four community meetings on the new Frontenac County Official Plan. “Decisions that would be considered good planning here wouldn’t be elsewhere.” Nowhere is that more evident than in the area of Growth Management. “The Province urges development in the settlement areas,” he said. “But other than Sydenham water, none of our hamlets or settlement areas have municipal water or sewer. “And our growth projections clearly show the development is not going to

change towards settlement areas. “If we had a policy like that it would be artificial and unrealistic.” He said there was a time when the province provided funding to build infrastructure in settlement areas, but that’s all but dried up and “it’s expensive.” “And the Municipal Act doesn’t say it (that development be directed to settlement areas).” Gallivan said the Official Plan recognizes the rural flavour of the County, as do the official plans of the townships. He said there is much that can be done to preserve that flavour and promote things in the agricultural sector as well. “There are many good value-added uses,” he said. “For example, if there are two or three working farms on one road, they might want to set up a single farm gate operation, with one large barn and

retail site. “That’s an opportunity that can be recognized.” And, he said, although protecting farmland is primarily a township issue, it doesn’t have to be prime agricultural land protected in large chunks. “If there are two or three farms on a road, that should be protected,” he said. He said they are looking at the Official Plan being adopted in the spring of 2014. “The day the Province approves the plan, the County becomes the approval authority for township plans,” he said. “I think it’s a good overall covering concept,” said South Frontenac Coun. Al McPhail. “There are areas that need to be deeply looked into such as transportation, social housing and community building.

“Frontenac County is a community that is unique in Eastern Ontario even though we have a top and a bottom (referring to the uniqueness of North Frontenac and Frontenac Islands).” “I’ve spent a lot of time with it and the idea of a County plan is a good one,” said South Frontenac and Frontenac County Coun. John McDougall. “There are a lot of things that should be approached on a county level and others better served at the township level and I think those are well represented.” Gallivan said much of the feedback he’s received has been along the same lines, along with many residents wanting lake management plans recognized (which could be significant in OMB hearings). “And some people have said the OP has too many words in it,” he said.

Overall state “very positive� at Community Living AGM Reporter

EMC News — “I think the overall state is very positive, but we’re not going to stay with the status quo�, Community Living North Frontenac executive director Dean Walsh told the organization’s 37th annual general meeting last week at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn. “Everybody’s held to a standard here and the standard is very high.�

NFCS knows how to throw an end-ofsummer celebration By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — For four years now, Northern Frontenac Community Services has been holding a ‘thank-you’ barbecue to say thanks to the community for all its support over the years. This year, executive director Don Amos and staff wanted to go a little bit further and by all accounts, they accomplished just that. “It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ and we wanted a nice community event where the atmosphere was very open,” he said. “The community does a lot for us and so we wanted to give back. “We wanted to have at least one thing for each age population and the two new air castles certainly seemed to be a hit with the kids.” There were the mandatory face painting stations and hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and drinks of course, as well as a mini-putt golf course. Oso Beach in Sharbot Lake was awash in a sea of people, all seemingly ‘chillaxing’ as the sun finally broke through. One major contributor to the atmosphere this year was the addition of live music, courtesy of the Café House Band and The Piccadilly Pickers. “It was a lesson learned,” Amos said. “A lot of people had said some live music would be a great addition and they were right.” Not having ever been a music promoter at any time during his career, Amos was a bit apprehensive about finding a couple of bands but in the end said he needn’t have worried. “Several staff members are well-acquainted

with the local music scene and made some recommendations,” he said. “And the first two phone calls I made, we had our bands, who said they’d love to do it. “We even had a couple of younger performers (Café House Band guitarist Terry Reynolds’ two kids) that were a big hit.” Things almost didn’t get started. Thunderstorms passed through the area all day and at times it looked like the 5 p.m. party would get washed out. “We were scared,” Amos said. “Staff and I were setting up the mini-golf about 3:30 p.m. and we got drenched. “But we’d had about 60 calls that day asking if we were going ahead and we were determined so when the clouds broke just after 4:30, we did a little happy dance.” To a certain extent, the barbecue is an end-ofsummer celebration for NFCS. Although many of their programs run through the summer (such as daycare), many take a summer hiatus before kicking back in in September. “We have a new youth coordinator, Brian Dunford, and he’s excited about new programs we’re doing in the schools and seniors congregated dining kicks in at several locations,” he said. Anyone wishing more information about NFCS youth and adult services can call 613-279-2244 (youth services) or 613-279-3151 (adult services) or attend the organization’s Annual General Meeting in Parham Sept. 26 at the Christian Education Centre. Light deserts will be served at 6 p.m. followed by the meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Lawnmower racing a family affair for many racing teams By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — What would possess someone to modify a lawn tractor and tear around a dirt oval lined in hay bales every summer weekend? “Fun, pure fun and stiff competition,” said Harrowsmith’s Steve Storms in between races at the Parham Fair last weekend. Storms and his compatriots are part of the Grass Hogs Lawn Tractor Racing circuit, which operates 12-13 races per year, many at fall fairs. Storms brings three tractors (all blue and numbered 77) to the events and likes to compete in the modified and pro-modified categories. “There are six classes,” he said. “You can get into the starter class for about $400 or $500. “All you have to do is buy a lawnmower, take the blades off and change the pullies.” However, once you get into it, $3,000 to $5,000 is more like it. But that’s OK, because the sport tends to become a family affair. Storms has dad Les and mom Maxine, as well as a few sisters, at most of the races. “Most guys like to do it that way,” he said. “All of our tractors were built and made by me and Dad.” The family aspect does seem to be a com-

mon thread in the pit area. “I started about 10 years ago, my first race was in Northumberland,” said Verona’s Joe Nichol. “It was something to do at the time and an easy way to get into racing. “My dad (Ross, aka Thunderman) was my pit man.” “After a while, I decided ‘I might as well be racing too,’” said Ross. “We were the first father and son team on the circuit. “It’s something we could do together and it keeps us out of mischief.” He admitted that once you get into it, “you can get into some serious mods” but even though there are some cash prizes, “it’s not a money thing, it’s a hobby sport.” Still they’ve had to be creative with obtaining parts and pretty much rely on the community for help. “One guy in town made me this upholstered seat,” he said. “And Andrew Asselstine (Asselstine Hardware in Verona) has sponsored us for some things.” But a lot of it is making it up as you go along, he said. “Everything is pretty much recycled. For example, these bumpers are bed frame rails. “But if you’re into mechanics, you putter along. “It’s a lot of fun and a good family thing.” For more information about lawnmower racing, visit www. grasshogsracing.com.

Local churches hope to raise awareness about indigenous issues By: Mandy Marciniak Reporter

EMC Events –The treatment of Aboriginals Peoples throughout Canadian history is always a touchy subject, but a new series from the CBC is trying to change that. The four-part CBC series 8th Fire takes a look at the history of Aboriginals in Canada and examines why we need to fix Canada’s relationship with indigenous peoples. The series is having quite an impact and although it aired back in January, a group of four United Churches in the South Frontenac area will be showing the series throughout the month of September in the hopes of furthering awareness about these issues. “What we are discovering is that there is a real hunger for knowing what is going on, and as people are seeing and hearing more about indigenous issues they want to know more and more about it,� said Margaret Fisher, lead organizer for events. “We’ve seen groups like Idle No More, the James Bay Cree walkers, Theresa Spence and the KI walkers and there are just so many issues that have been coming to the surface over the past few years. People seem really curious and want to know more.� The group kicked off its exploration of these issues in the middle of August when Connie Walker, one of the producers for the 8th Fire series, came out to do a meet and greet at Perth Road United Church. Members of the community gathered and watched the first installment of the series, and the event was a great success. “We saw 50 people show up,� Fisher remarked. “That was really exciting for us and people lingered for a long time talking and discussing. There were clearly a lot of questions and a lot of wondering why we never knew all of this information before. It is really amazing how things seem to be coming together and Canadians are realizing that there are issues here that need to be learned about and deal with.�

These issues directly affect members of the United Church because of the church’s previous involvements with Indian Residential Schools, an issue that they have been trying to resolve and come to terms with over the years. The United Church has issued two separate apologies to indigenous peoples in the past, one in 1986 and another in 1998, and Fisher sees her group’s events as an extension of these apologies: “Over the past few years the United Church has developed a number of great projects and has made many attempts to help local congregations learn more about the history and about our Aboriginal neighbours in communities. They want to find ways to build bridges and move towards a much better relationship. This is something that has been in the making for quite a while and I am sensing now that there is a really strong readiness from people. They want to learn and they want to make the relationships better.� The series will be shown at each of the four churches in the area over the month of September, starting in Glenburnie on Sept. 7, then moving to Perth on Sept. 16, Inverary on Sept. 23 and finishing in Battersea on Sept. 30. All showings start at 7 p.m. and interested parties are invited to bring their friends along. Fisher hopes that the turn-out will be just as good as the previous event, and hopes that the film sparks conversation for future events too. “We have already had some people asking if we are thinking of having a study group or a book club to continue the education, but we’ll have to see how it goes and if people want to do that,� she says. “The showing of the episodes is the first step. I think it will stir up lots of good conversation and get people discussing important issues.� For more information on the 8th Fire series, check out www.cbc. ca.

MCKENNA’S DREAM HELPS CHILDREN WITH CANCER

McKenna Modler relaxes at home with one of her pets, Po. In the past year, McKenna has become a household name across the region and she’s even appeared on national television as a Scotiabank GameChanger with the Toronto Argonauts.

R0012286145

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but in the case of McKenna Modler, the child can inspire the village to raise and support many children. :KLOH Ă€JKWLQJ LQRSHUDEOH EUDLQ FDQFHU 0F.HQQD KDV WDXJKW PDQ\ SHRSOH DERXW hope, inspiration and generosity. Our future is much brighter in Southeastern Ontario because of young citizens like McKenna. It was one afternoon in the fall of 2011 when McKenna was receiving one of her last of 70 chemotherapy treatments at Kingston General Hospital when she decided she wanted to do something to help relieve the pain of other families with young FKLOGUHQ Ă€JKWLQJ FDQFHU 0F.HQQD VKDUHG KHU ´GUHDPÂľ RI KHOSLQJ RWKHUV ZLWK KHU parents, sparking an incredible chain of events that resulted in the McKenna’s Dream event last July that continues with various efforts today. Childhood cancer brings not only physical and emotional stresses for families, but there are often added expenses related to a child’s treatment that are not covered by insurance such as parking, travel and accommodation for out-of-town treatment.

In Our Opinion

Little of value in Quebec’s new charter

Saying goodbye to an old friend — Westport Mayor Bill Thake Craig Bakay Reporter

I lived in Westport for 15 years, covering Village Council, and had a unique opportunity to view Thake in action firsthand on many, many occasions. He could handle small-town reporters and international media with equal aplomb. Similarly, he wasn’t the slightest bit intimidated by federal politicians or any of the various know-it-alls that sought to rebuild Westport in their own vision. You see, Thake was one of those unique civic leaders, a benevolent dictator that, regardless of his faults, put his community first. And he pretty much did it his way. But that was OK because that usually worked out pretty good for the rest of us. In fact, I used to be fond of saying how much I enjoyed living in the Barony of Bill Thake. Bill was instrumental in a lot of things in Westport, from municipal water and sewer to the snowfluent waste treatment facility to the harbour to being one of the few municipal politicians to ‘win’ amalgamation. When push came to shove in 1999, Thake didn’t like the deal he’d been offered and told Queen’s Park to shove their amalgamation plans. Despite the Provin-

cial threats of forcing the issue and dire consequences for non-compliance, Thake held his ground and never looked back. Thake was also one of those guys who knew everybody’s name, and could often be seen around town looking like he’s just finished a shift with the roads crew. During the ice storm and the big black out a couple of summers later, Thake patrolled the village in the back of a pickup truck, broadcasting information through a bullhorn. And he was known for a quick wit as well. One time, the two of us were waiting in line at the hardware store and I had a three-pack of work gloves that Thake noticed. “That’s a life-time supply for you, isn’t it?� he said. Thake had his detractors, of course. You simply can’t please everybody and as mayor, he had a natural target on his back. But any detractors would do well to remember — there aren’t many politicians that an old newspaper wag would feel compelled to write an obituary for, two months after the fact. Darth Mute, perhaps?

past week that Bill Thake died. He was 77. For those of you who didn’t know Bill, he was Canada’s longest serving politician with 51 years of service, the last 44 as Reeve or Mayor of the Village of Westport. He also served four terms as Warden of The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. He died of a stroke in Kingston General Hospital on June 26 of this year. He lived all his life in Westport and is survived by his wife Marlene, daughter Cindy, son-inlaw Chris Dopson and grandsons Ben and Eric Dopson. He was predeceased by son Bill G. In my 30 + years of covering municipal politicians, Bill stands at the top of my list, for his political savvy to be sure, but also, and perhaps more so, because of his accomplishments.

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, September 5, 2013

EMC Editorial - The Parti Quebecois announced plans last week to institute of a province-wide “Charter of Values� that would see public servants prevented from wearing religious clothing such as turbans, niqabs, kippas, hijabs and “highly visible crucifixes�. We feel that this initiative is being proposed for all the wrong reasons, and moreover that it is not the state’s place to begin censuring symbols of religious affiliation. After all, we strongly doubt that the PQ will begin razing the innumerable vestiges of Quebec’s religious past, let alone embarking on the daunting process of renaming city streets and towns. If people are going to walk away from their religious traditions, let it be because they have made the conscious decision to do so, and not because the state has told them it’s either the turban or termination. This kind of policing of religious and personal freedoms can only result in increased societywide ethnic cleavages – indeed, the PQ may be unwittingly (or, for the more conspiratorially-minded, wittingly) perpetuating a culture of intolerance and ethnocentrism that can only increase in years to come if this ban is enforced. One need only look at the poll-

ing on this issue to see where the social divides are. Sixty-five per cent of francophones support the Charter, whereas only 25 per cent of anglophones and 33 per cent of allophones (i.e. those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English) support the bill. Is there any wonder why the leader of the PQ, Pauline Marois, and the architects of this bill have been criticized as pandering to their base? There’s also the question of who exactly is a public servant? Certainly, there will be guidelines available online for any who wish to see them, but that won’t prevent some people from thinking that the airline stewardess in the niqab is rebel employee flaunting the new laws, or that the contracted janitor wearing a kippa in a public is space is way out of bounds and should be spoken to immediately by management. The separation of church and state has been shown by history to be an unqualified good, but it only remains to be so if it respects an individual’s right to choose. Once the state starts to encroach on the personal freedoms of its citizens, it can ignite a powder keg of social tensions that many countries around the world are just beginning to recover from.

The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, September 5, 2013 9

First day of school was a special occasion Mary Cook

Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle - We thought nothing of the three and a half mile trek to the Northcote School. There were others who walked much further. And if, for any reason, we had to make a stop at Briscoe’s General Store, that meant at least another mile, as we had to walk the Rink Road to get there, bypassing Plaunt’s road which was our usual way of getting to and from school. When we got to the end of our long lane, and onto the Northcote Side Road, we would meet up with the Thom’s, our next-farm-over neighbours. And Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. My three brothers wanted no part of we younger ones, and they would tear ahead of us, leaving us behind, as if we had the plague! It was a dirt road all the way, and by the time we got to school, even our socks were covered with dust, and our shoes looked like they had been through a war! I was in boys brown brogue laced shoes that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and I secretly prayed that the hateful shoes would fall apart one day, and I could wear my Sunday-go-

to-church shoes, which were just marginally better than the boys’ brogues. This time of year, my three brothers, who every year Mother swore had grown a foot over the summer, had new running shoes to wear that first day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops, and had thick black soles. If Mother didn’t order them from Eaton’s catalogue, they were bought in Renfrew where Mother bargained for the best price, paying the princely sum of .98 cents a pair. And the stores in Renfrew weren’t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did at the General Store in Northcote. The boys were well warned to be careful with the running shoes, because they would be the only ones they would be getting. Even if they fell apart, Mother warned! “No scuffing along the side road,” she would bellow, as we all headed out the lane that first day back to school. If some misfortune happened to the running shoes, the brothers would have to resort to wearing their gum-rubbers, which made their feet sweat. If enough boys were in their gum-rubbers all at the same time at school, the whole place smelled to high heaven, causing Miss Crosby to fling the windows wide even on the coldest Fall days! And so it was, that first day back to the Northcote School, the three brothers in their new running shoes which they weren’t allowed to put

on their feet until that morning, me in my boys brogues that had been shined with bacon fat, and our lunches in clean brown paper bags, we headed off. At the end of the lane, Velma waited for me. The Thoms boys and my three brothers raced off down the dirt road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers, and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store. And always we girls carried a freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well. If Kleenex had been invented back then, we certainly didn’t know about it! Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wearing something new for that first day back to school. Not store-bought of course. Something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-medown box, or from a well-bleached pair of flour bags. Mother favoured making blouses. Simple blouses, with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rick-rack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar. Very clever, was my Mother, I thought back then. Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church

picnics, ball games, and family gettogethers, on that first day back to school, it was as if we hadn’t laid eyes on them for years! There would be the Briscoe twins, in identical dresses. My little friend Joyce, always with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker Stores in Renfrew, and of course, bad Marguirite would have had a new permanent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls, and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, and little white socks with lace around the tops. And there would be our same teacher...Miss Crosby...in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before. And she would still smell of lilac talcum powder, and her black laced shoes would be so shiny, you could see your face in them. That first day of school we were allowed to go home mid-afternoon. Instead of calling a recess, Miss Crosby would announce that school was over for that day. And we’d head back out to the road that went by the school, and that day we would take the long way home. Down the Rink Road and over to Briscoe’s General Store. Because that day, and that day only, we would all have been given a nickel. Audrey’s and mine tied in the corner of our hankies, and the brothers rattling around in their overall pockets with the usual collection of sling-shots, pieces of string, a couple of nails, and their dime-store jack-knives.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

It would be like a small invasion, as en mass we crowded into the store and headed right for the candy counter. The boys of the Northcote School would forgo the little brown paper bag, and instead cram their nickel’s worth of candy deep into their overall pockets. Usually, they bought licorice pipes. We girls picked candies like discs, stuck to strips of white paper, with little words printed on them. And often Velma and I would buy one box of nickel cracker-jacks, and a nickel’s worth of peppermints and share them on the way home. Once again, every day, the Northcote Road would lead us to and from the school. There would be no rides because of bad weather. It was a trek we were well used to. In good weather, and bad, like a washboard ribbon, parched dry when there was no rain, covered in ruts when there was, and icy and snow-covered when Winter came, the Northcote Road was as familiar to us as the backs of our hands.

Winnipeg to Windsor in a 1938 Ford convertible EMC Lifestyle - In the summer of 1958, when I was 16, my older brother John and I acquired a 1940 Buick Super coupe in our hometown of Leamington, Ontario. I spent my spare time that summer driving around Essex County in search of other old cars. One day, I saw a lavender-coloured (light purple) 1938 Ford convertible with rumble seat on a street in Windsor. I saw it again a few weeks later at Bob Gault’s FINA gas station in nearby

2

’38 Ford ragtop I had seen over 50 years ago. With its non-original paint job, it was the type of car that would show up at a drive-in restaurant and so I asked Bob if he remembered seeing it. Imagine my surprise when he told me the car was owned by his brother-inlaw, Chris Smith, and Bob remembers riding in the rumble seat! Chris owned the car while stationed at an RCAF base in Winnipeg in 1956 and brought it with him when he moved to Windsor. I asked Bob if he had any photos. His sister Pat turned the house upside-down and finally found a few inside a Jaguar photo album!

Harrow. I never saw the car again until 55 years later, when the two photos you see here turned up, thanks to Bob Taylor of Kingsville, Ontario. I met Bob recently at the Leamington Chrysler dealership when our family car was in for servicing. He had owned a customized 1952 Plymouth convertible in Windsor in the late ‘50s and he said it had been a big hit at the Hi-Ho drivein restaurant. When he mentioned the Hi-Ho, I immediately remembered the

If this convertible was built in Canada, it had a Windsor factory price of $950 and Toronto-delivered for $1,039 (license included). The engine was a flathead V8 with 221 cubic inches with 85 horsepower and a 3-speed floor shift transmission. But the story doesn’t end here. Was it bought new in Manitoba? Who painted it lavender and when? Does anyone out there or down here have more photos of

it? And – most exciting of all – is the car still around? Stay tuned. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “Old Car Detective Favourite Stories, 1925 to 1965.”

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?

The Thousand Islands Tower (formerly Skydeck) gives visitors a spectacular view of the region.

Thousand Islands beauty from above Excavation began in October 1964. Construction used 164 tons of steel and 1,398 cubic yards of concrete, and involved 22,000 labour hours. Then known as Skydeck, it officially opened on June 17, 1965. It stands at 425 feet above the St. Lawrence River (350 feet above ground). On a clear day, visibility is about 65 kilometres. The Thousand Islands Skydeck set new standards when it opened. In 1965 it maintained the smallest width to height ratio of any building in the world. The constant flow of visitors is han-

dled adequately by the elevator, which only stops at the top and bottom of the tower. To get to the Thousand Islands Tower, you don’t need a passport or proof of residence because you never leave Canada. It is on the Canadian side of the border. Be forewarned—don’t go without a camera. You’ll likely regret getting up to the top and missing the spectacular opportunities for unique scenic photos. You will get a closeup aerial view of the Canadian bridge. The U.S. bridge is a bit further away, but still clearly vis-

ible. Don’t wait for autumn colours to visit Skydeck. The view is amazing regardless of the season. The elevator takes 35 to 40 seconds to take you up to the lower observation deck. There are three observation areas. The top deck is the warmest, great for a cool day. It receives constant exposure to the sun. The shaded middle deck, also outdoors, is cooler. The lower deck is enclosed by windows. This is great for protection from the elements in in-

clement weather. There is a gift shop featuring Canadian souvenirs in the base of the building. For a lunch break, weather permitting, I’d recommend a picnic. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing and there are numerous picnic areas near the Tower and along the Thousand Islands Parkway. For more information: www.1000islandsskydeck.com Directions: Highway 401 or Highway 2 to the Thousand Islands Bridge exit. After you cross the first bridge

($2.75 toll), you will be on Hill Island. The Thousand Islands Tower is on your left on Hill Island, just before you reach Canada Customs. It’s rather difficult to miss it since you can see it from several kilometers away extending 425 feet into the air. Hours: Open seven days a week. Summer, 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.; spring and fall, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Check their website for seasonal closing date. Cost: Adults, $9.95; children 6–12, $5.95; 5 and under, free.

ENCHANTÉ

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

Teacher finds something special in every child EMC Lifestyle - June Spooner carries on a tradition in her family. Her father and grandmother were teachers. Her mom taught piano lessons. June is a Special Education Resource Teacher (SERT) at John XXIII Catholic School in Collins Bay. She prefers to think of herself as a resource who is part of a team that includes children, their parents, other teachers and staff. “All kids are special,” she said. “I don’t want the kids I’m working with to feel that they are different in any way.” She emphasized that each child in school learns in his or her own way. Some of those children need her resources to reach their potential. June grew up wanting to be a teacher. “Whenever anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I was grown up, I always said teacher.” She said that it felt natural for her. “I thought it would be fun,” she said. “I love to read and I thought it would be great to teach reading. I like kids and it’s fun to work with them. I wanted to do something in life that would be significant to others and make a difference in the community I live in.” She was born in Thunder Bay and moved to PIcton when she was young. She started school at St. Gregory’s in Prince Edward County. By Grade 2, the family had moved to Napanee.

I asked her how she decided to go into the field of special education. “I didn’t,” she said. “It decided on me.” She explained that she was teaching Grade 1 at John XXIII Catholic School and loved her work. “Kids are like sponges in Grade 1,” she said. “It’s a great age.” But one year the student population numbers were low. She wasn’t high in the seniority list. She gave up Grade 1 and fortunately had the qualifications to become the school’s special education teacher. “I had to disassemble my classroom and bring everything home. My dad had built me a big puppet theatre, but I had to move everything out of my class.” Two or three months later, numbers were up and the Grade 1 class was offered to her. “I’d just taken everything down in my class,” she said. “I decided to stay where I was.” That was the year 2000. She’s still the special education teacher. Still loves it. “It’s really taken me on a different path,” she said. “You get so involved with the job and you learn so much as you go. The experience is very valuable. I like what I’m doing. I’ve made the job what it is. There are things I’m doing that I couldn’t do in a regular class.”

Like many teachers, June Spooner never stops improving her skills at every opportunity. One of the specialties she learned is called Empower Reading. “It’s been around about 30 years,” she said. “It’s research-based, created by doctors and scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children. It’s been tracked and we know it works. It’s also Canadian.” June went to Peterborough to see the program in action in inner city and suburban schools. “I was really excited about what I saw,” she said. “I wrote a proposal to the board but the money wasn’t there. It’s quite expensive to be trained and get the materials.” Her principal at the time supported her and found the money so that she could get the training. “I went to Ottawa and trained with all the Ottawa-Carleton teachers. They trained every SERT teacher in their board.” She came back to her own school with valuable resources. “I couldn’t teach that in a classroom,” she said. “Sometimes I’m teaching kids who have focusing difficulties. We look at things like phonemic awareness. I have this great tool that works. While the process is difficult, the end result is worth it.” She said that one of the things she loves about her role is its diversity. “I work in all kinds of situations,” she said. “I’m always looking at how I can EFFICIENCY LIST help and support a student.

Meet Your Market Vendor: Patchwork Gardens By Kelly Reid Reporter

Like several other market vendors, Patchwork Gardens also runs a Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, program. “We have about sixty CSA clients in the summer,” says Joslin. “We’d like to get 100 for the winter CSA.” Patchwork’s CSA program includes organic vegetables, recipes and cooking suggestions, as well as notices about farm tours and monthly CSA videos. Patchwork Gardens also hosts

a variety of workshops that teach the basics of growing and preserving edibles. The upcoming winter CSA baskets will include winter vegetables such as turnips, squash, and celeriac. When a CSA basket goes unclaimed, Patchwork Gardens donates the produce to Loving Spoonful. “Shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint by reducing the number of kilometres your food

travels from farm to table,” say the Patchworkers. “When you shop from a farmer you build relationships in your community.” Patchwork Gardens is in the Kingston Public Market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays until November. You can visit them at stall numbers 34 and 35 in the second row. Learn more about Patchwork Gardens by visiting www.patchworkgardens.ca.

EMC Business - Patchwork Gardens in Battersea has long been a fixture at the Kingston Public Market. “This is our tenth season,” Patchwork employee Megan Joslin says proudly. The farm is a joint venture between Julie and Eric Williams, as well as Megan Joslin and Ian Stutt and their respective children. Since the farm became operational in 2004, they have maintained a market presence. “We do organic veggies and herbs,” adds “Patchworker” Marie Bencze. “I guess with an emphasis on greens.” Some of the farm’s best sellers include spicy mustard greens, kale, and lettuce. They also specialize in car-

rots, heirloom tomatoes, and beets. All of their produce is certified organic by Ecocert Canada. This means that Patchwork Gardens uses no genetic modifications, no synthetic fertilizers, and no pesticides. The produce is grown in a type of soil known as Battersea silt-loam, which the Patchworkers say is especially fertile. In addition to selling their products in Market Square, Patchwork Gardens is also a favourite supplier of many fine Kingston restaurants. “Chez Piggy and Dianne’s Fish Bar are our two biggest right now,” says Joslin, though the farm also supplies Chien Noir, Atomica, Pan Chancho, Olivea, and others. On non-market days, Kingstonians can find Patchwork produce at Tara Natural Foods and Old Farm Fine Foods.

Bottle Tree Productions brings Les Miserables to Kingston By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Entertainment - It’s hard to turn down a one-night-only event featuring 100 of Kingston’s finest singers performing one of the most beloved musicals of our time in one of the Limestone City’s most beautiful churches. On Sept. 28, Bottle Tree Productions will stage Les Miserables in the sanctuary of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. “We wanted it to be a big deal,” says director Anne Mortensen of why the play is only being staged once. “We wanted it to be a really special occasion – a gala event.” The evening is also a fundraiser, and will include refreshments and a silent auction before the show and at intermission. All money raised after costs are covered will be split between St. Andrew’s church and Bottle Tree’s Christmas production of The Sound of Music. Mortensen notes that because of the unconventional church setting, they will need to get a little creative with the staging – though this is not necessarily a bad thing. “A lot of what you’re not allowed to do [contractually] is copy anything from the Broadway show - none of the choreography, none of the staging, none of the costuming,” she says. They want people to do their own thing. So we’re embracing that and making sure it comes out.” The music will be the central focus of the production.

“We’re concerned with the story being told so the audience can follow it, but mostly it’s about the music,” Mortensen says. “We have excellent singers. We go about learning the music, and then after that’s all pretty much done we can do whatever staging we’re going to do, and we’ll costume lightly.” Mortensen remarks that in many ways, holding the musical in the church will add to the production: “There’s a nice visual sense around it. It’s bold and it’s got a very charming atmosphere. And it makes it less separate. When you have the audience up high and the cast is kind of on a bit of a lower level it’s very humbling for everybody because the audience feels like they’re part of the action and they kind of are. And the cast feels like they have a lot of contact with the audience, which they do.” The sanctuary’s excellent acoustics will also assist the singers. “Even if they wanted to mic the leads, [they wouldn’t have to],” says Danny Young, who plays the lead role of Jean Valjean. “The sounds travel very well. The church is predisposed for that. It’s a nice place to do it.” Young notes that although the musical is proving to be a lot of work for only one night, it’s worth it to be a part of the production. “Jean Valjean’s part is every tenor’s dream,” he says. “It’s going to be a good experience and a good thrill.” “It makes it even more important for us to have that amazing of a per-

formance, so we can guarantee that that one night is going to be spectacular,” adds Amanda Edwards, who plays Cosette. She says that she too has always dreamed singing in Les Miserables, and specifically playing the role of Cosette: “It’s an honour to be able to do it, especially because a lot of the singers that I really, really love, like Judy Kuhn, have done the role. She was a Cosette that I sort of idolize. She’s just so beautiful and pure and everything I think the character should be. So I try and take that past and bring it into what I’m doing.” Mortensen has complete faith that the cast will excel at these famously challenging roles, and encourages everyone to come out and see for themselves. “Our leads are exceptional,” she says…. “It’s ambitious, but we wanted it to be a

really big project because we wanted to have something to do musically…and to have the opportunity to have a very large chorus.” Les Miserables will be at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Princess and Clergy

Streets on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. People are encouraged to get their tickets soon, before they sell out. Tickets are available through the Grand Theatre box office, or by visiting http://galalujah.eventbrite. ca/.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, devoting time to a spouse or children is of the utmost importance this week, while other matters will have to wait. Enjoy this opportunity to spend time with your loved ones. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later.

Great laughs and heartfelt friendship completes final film of Cornetto trilogy Pat Trew

My Take BY MARK HASKINS

EMC Lifestyle – It began with Shaun of the Dead, it continued in Hot Fuzz and now the Cornetto ice cream films are a trilogy with The World’s End. The best night of Gary King’s (Simon Pegg) life was the night he and his four best friends graduated school. Their goal was to complete The Golden Mile an epic pub crawl through twelve pubs starting at The First Post and ending at The World’s End. While they JOHN TUCKER didn’t finish itBYthat night has stood in Gary’s mind as perfect. EMC Events – Mitch Shewell leads the male dancers That was 20 odd years ago, and Gary’s in a ‘sneak up’ at the 19th annual Silver Lake Pow friends have moved on to have careers and Wow last weekend. Photo/Craig Bakay lives of their own. Sadly however Gary has not. Gary is pathetically stuck in the past, and he desperately wants to recapture the magic of that night. He wants to go back with his old friends and finish what they started. For reasons only old friends would understand Andy Knightley (Nick Frost), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine), Oliver ChamberSept. – December lain (Martin Freeman), and Peter Page (Eddie Marsan) allow Gary to talk them into this Beginner to Advanced crazed reunion. They begin the night with the Register for a dance or for the fall! bitter sweetness of old friend, and the tension of unresolved issues.

MOVIE: The World’s End STARRING: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman and Eddie Marsan DIRECTOR: Edgar Wright RATING: 14A replaced with robot look-a-likes and Gary, Andy, Steven, Oliver and Peter have to figure out what’s happening. They must fight for their lives, their town and even the Earth, but most importantly to Gary they must fight to complete The Golden Mile. The World’s End begins as this funny yet sad comedy about old friends. Then it moves into this outrageous action-comedy with some of the best bar fights I’ve ever seen, and Edgar Wright does it so naturally you never think to question it. Your laughing so hard you just get swept away. It’s exciting, it’s touching, and above all else it’s hysterically funny, but it’s this thread of genuine and heartfelt friendship that runs through this absurd battle for survival that elevates The World’s End to the realm of genius. I loved this cast and I loved these characters. Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike, who plays Oliver’s sister Sam, are fantastic. They had the perfect mix of sensitivity, emotion, camaraderie and comic timing. They also had bar brawling skills that bordered on the obscene. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are the greatest comic duo of the last ten years. No one has the chemistry they do, are as funny as they are, or

able to pull off the kind of outrageous films they do. The World’s End may complete the Cornetto trilogy, but I hope it doesn’t mean an end to their films. Genius is sometimes a hard term to describe or define. I think The World’s End does a pretty good job of it. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

dozen,” he said. “But this. This is pure. And not just one kind of blues. Tonight I’m hearing R & B (Soul Survivors), Delta (The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer) and really funky stuff (Ana Popovic). I hadn’t heard of the first two acts, but I’d travel to see them again. As for the European lady on guitar (Popovic), she plays circles around most male guitar players. And she sounds like old Memphis players. She was a highlight. Great stuff. We’ll be back next year.” Many people come to see wellknown artists but enjoy the surprises. Monika Slack, from Kingston, said that happened to her on Saturday night. “Every once in awhile you hear a band that just wows you,” she said. “The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer were just one of the opening acts at the main stage at The Limestone City Blues Festival and they did that for me tonight. A duo with so much sound that if you closed your eyes you would think you’re listening to a fourpiece band. I don’t think it will be long before they become a household name within the blues community.” Another local at the hometown event was Karen Stos. In addition to the music, she was pleased with the setting. “I felt so proud to be there in that square,” she said. “What a venue: the stage, the classic buildings surrounding us, the City Hall dome. I was so proud to be part of Kingston.”

EMC News - The Limestone City Blues Festival chalked up another huge success with this year’s event, which wrapped up four days of music on Aug. 25. A couple of thousand people jammed into Market Square to get their fix of the music that migrated up the Mississippi more than a century ago. The city has developed a cross-border reputation as a place where blues aficianados can hear their beloved genre without distractions. The Kingston festival maintains a schedule featuring four days of nothing but blues and its many sub-genres. It’s a formula that works. “This year’s crowd was as big or bigger than ever,” said Jan MacDonald, Projects Manager Marketing for Downtown Kingston! Business Improvement Area (BIA). The idea started 18 years ago, she explained. “People were saying Kingston should have some kind of music festival,” she said. “The staff mulled the idea. They were blues fans and thought it would go over well in Kingston. People were asking for that kind of thing. We’ve developed a good reputation.” Shirley and Rod Shreiber from Binghamton, New York have been coming to Kingston for a decade. They say they plan their summer holidays around the festival. “We take our vacations so we can

come here,” said Shirley. “You’ve got a great town. It’s a lively small city. Lots of restaurants and night life. This is our tenth year. We try to eat at locations where the blues bands are performing. For us to get music at this level at home, we’d have to travel to a big city with all its driving and parking problems. We come here and relax from the time we get here mid-week until we leave on Sunday.” They said they were skeptical when they first heard of Kingston’s Blues Fest. “’What’s this little Canadian city going to be able to pull off?’ we thought,” said Rod. “But we thought it would be nice to check it out and spend time in the Thousand Islands. Well, the folks here sure sent us for a loop. We had no idea we’d find a world-class event. The organizers do everything right. And $10 for a wrist band. We’d pay that for an hour or two of parking in Philly. Now we’ve got several friends who come here every year too.” MacDonald explained that the DBIA’s economic impact study found that the geographic split for Blues Fest attendees is about 60/40 visitor to local. Sol Stein, visiting from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania said he comes with friends every year because it’s one of the few festivals that’s kept to an exclusively blues format. “If I wanted to see some pop singer who sells lots of records, regardless of talent, those venues are a dime a
