Parham Fair an ‘eye-opener’ for new president Gazette News — For new Parham Fair present Dan Cunningham, his inaugural year at the helm was “a real eye-opener.” He hadn’t anticipated how many lives it affects. “I’m new to the area and I met a lot of people,” he said. “I didn’t realize how important the Fair is to so many people and the number of volunteers it attracts. “It’s a big part of the cultural fabric of the area.” For example, he hadn’t guessed at how popular the Palace would be. “I took a turn relieving the girl at the door at 8:30 p.m. and figured I’d be there about a half hour until people stopped coming,” he said. “No sir, they kept coming right up until 11 p.m. “I learned a lot and there are some very interesting people here.” With a year under his belt, understandably, Cunningham is starting to have some ideas about the directions he’d like the Fair to take. “I’d like to see more venders and we might open things up to local craftspeople,” he said. “And Saturday night, that’s date night and we’re really not doing much with it. “For example, a lot of younger people come in the afternoon but don’t stay for the evening — and I’d like to point out to the guys that there are a lot of girls who come to the Fair.” One thing Cunningham would like to see is more music at the Fair. Friday night with Ambush and the Parham Idol contest works well, he said.

Mark of Ambush offered to help in the Idol competition and he’d like to see Saturday afternoon/ evening turned into a musical showcase. “I would like to have a venue for local talent,” he said. “I think it would be good to have music going on [during] the cattle show and then move the lawnmower races to the evening for racing under the lights

The greased pig contest has been a favourite for many years.

while the music continues. “NASCAR does it like that.” Whatever they do, Cunningham doesn’t want to see the Fair disappear like it almost did this year, besides, it’s in his blood. “My dad sold farm implements in the Wingham area,” he said. “I’ve been going to country fairs since I was three. “Hillbilly and proud of it.”

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?

South Frontenac garbage contracts extended two years By Craig Bakay Reporter Gazette News — Garbage/recycling pickup in South Frontenac Township will stay how it is for another couple of years, Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham.Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth had suggested current contracts, which expire this month, be extended until May but Coun. Cam Naish suggested that a two-year period might give staff and Council a better handle on things, given all the changes the system has and will be going through. “I’d like to see the current contracts

extended until we see what we’re dealing with,” he said. Coun. Ron Vandewal agreed. “I don’t think we have enough information to make such a decision right now,” Vandewal said. “I’d like to see how the weigh scales work and if there are changes needed I don’t see why we can’t go to the individual contractors and discuss them.” Mayor Gary Davison also agreed. “I don’t see how anybody could tender with our population changes over summer and winter,” Davison said. “They don’t have a number to work with.” The only dissenting voice was

Coun. Bill Robinson who simply said: “No!” Some of the changes that will take time to assess include the weigh scales at the Portland site, which will make tendering by weight rather than households possible, same-day collection of garbage and recycling for all households, readjusting the recycling mix to match Kingston’s in order to take advantage of the city’s advertising and promotions, and tendering waste disposal for all of Storrington District. •••

Leave it to Mayor Gary Davison to hit the nail on the head. When Council voted to approve a universal $75 charitable donation bereavement policy, Coun. Del Stowe lamented “but I want flowers.” To which Davison promptly replied: “Then you’d better kick off soon.” • • • South Frontenac Council decided

to arrange a tour of its facilities including fire halls for staff and Council membersto familiarize themselves with its assets. The move was welcome news to Coun. Ron Vandewal. “Twelve years on Council and it’s finally happened,” Vandewal said. “I like the idea. “I was asked to go to a fire hall in Bedford and I didn’t know where it was.”

South Frontenac looking at 3 percent budget increase for 2014 tax bill is lower now than it was in 2011.â&#x20AC;? Orr said that while staff is â&#x20AC;&#x153;well aware of the political pressures that exist with an election year budget,â&#x20AC;? there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;several known challengesâ&#x20AC;? this year that he said will make staying within existing budgets difficult including: â&#x20AC;˘ OPP contract renewal and increased salaries â&#x20AC;˘ Continued reduction in OMPF grants â&#x20AC;˘ Deteriorating or inadequate infrastructure and buildings â&#x20AC;˘ Negotiated staffing and Council costs (wages) â&#x20AC;˘ Declining revenue from Kingston â&#x20AC;˘ Continued inflationary pressure on the cost of fuel and other consumables â&#x20AC;˘ Provincial regulatory pressures (source water, accessibility, energy) Mayor Gary Davison decided on an around-the-table poll from councilors before a vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OPP issue is really stress-

South Frontenac Council, at the urging of CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr, began looking at its 2014 budget at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. To that end, Orr wanted a target increase that staff can work towards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Note that while Council has approved budgets that have allowed for increased investment in capital projects and service delivery, based on the average phased in assessment, the Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portion of the total tax bill has increased at a much more modest rate (4.38 per cent over three years),â&#x20AC;? Orr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Couple with the decreases in education and county levies, the average taxpayer has seen an overall average decrease in their property taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, based on the average assessment, the overall property

Sears National Kids Cancer ride stops in Kingston Gazette Events – The end of summer and back to school after Labour Day marked the launch of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, throughout all of September. While children across Canada are excitedly and nervously walking into their classrooms this week, there are many children who only dream of this. At any given time approximately 10,000 Canadian children are battling cancer, and during the whole month of September Sears Canada is committed to raising funds and awareness for this terrible disease. One of Sears Canada Charitable Foundation’s major fundraising events is the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, a 17-day cycling event from Vancouver to Halifax . 26 national riders, along with relay riders and hundreds of community ride along riders, will ride their bicycles through communities large and small in Canada to raise money for children liv-

ing with and beyond cancer. Sears Kingston at the Cataraqui center is inviting anyone who would like to meet these incredible ambassadors of hope on Monday September 16th at 10:45am they will be at our west entrance as they make a stop on their journey. Flyers, posters, donations or even just a smile and a thank you for their selfless act are all welcome. All Sears retail stores and 1-800-26-SEARS are taking donations for SNKCR, either through a “round-up-your-bill” or direct donation. Every dollar counts, and 100% of the funds raised are donated to the 17 pediatric oncology centres in Canada. To learn more about SNKCR or to follow the national riders as they cycle from Vancouver to Halifax from September 5-21, please visit www.snkcr. com  Make Every Day a Great Day’

In Our Opinion

On our way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thanks to Kingston Transit

September music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Old Time Championship and return of the Cafe Craig Bakay Reporter

no arguing with the air conditioning aspect. Bedford (Glendower) Hall can get pretty close even in September. But it had a certain charm and ambience that Lions Hall has yet to achieve. Still, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of parking at Lions Hall and the kitchen facilities are the best in the area. For those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discovered this little competition, there are ribbons and prize money for competitors in fiddle, guitar, keyboards, banjo and vocals for ages 8 and under to 66 and older. All that goes on the Saturday. On Sunday, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an open mike which is usually worth a listen. Contestants must register by Sept. 21 (9 a.m. for instruments and noon for vocals) and entry forms, as well as all the other information you may need can be found at www.frontenacoldtimemusic. com. Proceeds from the Championship go to further musical programs like Julia Schallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Rock at Hinchinbrooke Public School. (Hopefully sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start the program back up when Granite Ridge gets going full guns.) And on Sept. 19 (Thursday night), the Centre Stage CafĂŠ returns to the Sharbot

Lake Legion as the Centre Stage CafĂŠ House Band (Jim MacPherson, Gary Giller, Terry Reynolds and Dave Limber) hosts special guest Tom Revell (Little Betty, Bauder Road, Downtown Traces). Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $4 cover that goes mainly towards gas money for the musicians and of course thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pay bar. The CafĂŠ will return Oct. 17 with James Keith and Nov. 21 with Marc Giroux. Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to hearing Tommy get together with the boys. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking it should be a good fit. I was over at his place the other night dropping off some copies of the new CD we did (Tom plays bass on eight of the nine tunes) and he was working on a couple of new originals that he plans to debut at the CafĂŠ. (Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that for some added pressure Tommy?) But you know, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best things about having a musical community like the one we have in Frontenac County. Everybody knows everybody else and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool to get together and play with different people. I know I had a blast at the CafĂŠ I played and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to get some variation in styles and genres that the CafĂŠ provides.

music again. Elsewhere in this edition of the Gazette, you should find Parham Fair President Dan Cunningham talking about how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see Saturdays at the Fair morph into some sort of showcase for local musical talent. This is a good thing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the future. In the present, there are a couple of things going on that musical folks might like to know about. For example, the sixth annual Frontenac Old Time Music Championship returns Sept. 21 and 22. This year, the competition moves to the Lions Hall in Verona from its previous location at Bedford Hall in Glendower. Organizer Cliff Rines has wanted to make the move for a couple of years now, citing the larger space, more central location and air conditioning as the major incentives. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Gazette Editorial - It was a long time coming. For a city that prides itself on striving to be one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most sustainable, the public transit situation can at times leave something to be desired. Thankfully, the city has introduced new services that will help make those days numbered. The days when it could take a KT commuter over an hour to get a destination a motorist could arrive at in 15 minutes will not be remembered fondly. The new 501 and 502 Express Service routes are offered every 15 minutes at peak times, to help commuters get from west end neighborhoods to downtown workplaces and educational institutions. Ten new busses were required to get the new program up and rolling. New Park and Ride lots located at Centre 70 and at Kingston Gospel Temple mean that out-of-town commuters can also reap the benefits of paying less for parking, and experiencing less stress on their morning commutes.Â On Sept. 3, the day the changes were implemented, the twitterverse was alight with reports marveling at the speed and efficiency with which commuters were able to get from their resi-

dences to their places of work or study. But this is only the first step. Phase 2 of the Kingston Transit redevelopment plan, which comes online in January of 2015, will see new express routes added in the north and east ends, complemented by numerous other improvements including upgraded bus stops and shelters, and real time bus location and arrival information to help make those wait times even easier to bear. We believe that effective and efficient public transit is so much more than just another step towards sustainability. It is the lynchpin of a cohesive social policy. It is the literal and metaphorical vehicle connecting individuals across the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape, facilitating the exchange of goods, labour, ideas and even laughter. The American Public Transportation Association estimates that families who opt for public transit instead of car ownership stand to save approximately $10,000 per year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s additional savings in the pockets of citizens that will have spin-off benefits for everyone in the community. We hope city hall will continue with its improvements to public transit well into the future.

Punkin Chunkin fun in Clayton, New York Gazette Lifestyle – The village of Clayton, New York sits just across the St. Lawrence River from Gananoque. At one time, before the Thousand Islands Bridge, a ferry connected the two. Clayton is one of my favorite places

within a short drive of Kingston. The downtown area is in the National Register of Historic Places. The folks in Clayton do things right. There’s always something going on, whether it’s a fishing derby or the biggest and best Santa Claus parade within a hundred miles on either side of the border. The parade features real, fun floats, not an endless stream of advertising and corporate branding. A huge park in the centre of the village was built by members of the community. It looks like a playground version of a medieval town. It’s a lovely spot for families to spend time. When my kids were younger, we visited weekly. There’s a beautiful church, St. Mary’s, bordering the park. The There will be activities for all ages at the fam- congregation did ily friendly Punkin Chunkin festival in Clayton, New fundraising a few York on October 19. Photo/Mark Bergin years back and re-

stored the church its early glory. The stained glass and interior are stunning, well worth a peek if you’re passing by. Clayton is home to the Antique Boat Museum, the finest museum of freshwater crafts in North America. There’s also the Thousand Islands Arts Center in town. Galleries and quaint shops line Riverside Drive and James Street, the two main drags. All this in a village with a population of less than 2,000 people. In 2009, Coastal Living Magazine named Clayton as the Best Small Town in the Great Lakes Region. Clayton was first settled in 1822 and became a major shipbuilding port. In its heyday, it was a playground of the rich and famous. The railroad arrived in 1873. At one time, there were 12 trains per day from New York City and Boston. Passenger service ended in 1951 and freight stopped in 1972. Formerly, freight service brought materials to Clayton’s ferry terminal for distribution throughout the Thousand Islands Region. The Clayton Opera house, completed in 1905, operates as a site for concerts, musicals and community theatre with acts far beyond what one would expect in a small village. In its early days, Broadway stars graced the stage. More recently, renowned groups like the Bolshoi Orchestra String Quartet have performed.

Clayton has had its share of famous and infamous residents and visitors. Two of the members of the band Blue Oyster Cult came from Clayton. Viggo Mortensen, of Lord of the Rings movie fame, was born in New York City, but after his parents split he lived with his mother and attended Watertown High School and then St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. You’ll still see him pop into the Clayton Post Office occasionally when he visits his mother in the village. Clayton has also been home/hideout to characters like smuggler and river pirate Bill Johnston. Grindstone Island is the large piece of land in the river just north of the riverfront. There are lots of tales of rum runners moving stealthily around the island during the Prohibition Era. Political and social activist Abbie Hoffmann, who wrote books like Revolution for the Hell of it, hid out near Clayton for years. In 1973, he was arrested on drug charges. Hoffmann maintained that the FBI used entrapment and planted suitcases full of drugs in his office. He skipped

WHAT’S HAPPENING

bail, underwent cosmetic surgery and went into hiding. He lived in Clayton as Barry Freed (he did have a sense of humor) and helped organize the Save the River organization. He turned himself in to authorities in 1980, received a one-year sentence and served four months. Clayton is a hub for the artistic and quirky. It’s also a welcoming little place, offering the best of small-town America. The autumn is a wonderful time to visit. The summer crowds are gone, but there’s still lots going on. One of the highlights is the Punkin Chunkin Festival, which will be held on Oct. 19 this year. Last year’s inaugural event brought thousands to the downtown and waterfront. Continued on page 14

Lifestyle - Weeks had passed since the Renfrew Fair. But I couldn’t get the picture out of my mind. It haunted me when I lay in bed at night, and many times during the day. Had not Uncle Lou sent Mother money in an envelope with the sole purpose of taking us five children to the Renfrew Fair, there is a good chance we may not have gone that year. Mother said money was scarcer than hen’s teeth, and that year we may have to miss the fair. It would be the first time ever, and how Uncle Lou knew of our situation is beyond me. But he always seemed to be there with a helping hand when we needed it most. So crisp bills came...not American, even though Uncle Lou lived in New York, but Canadian money simply sent in an envelope in the mail, with a note scrawled on a piece of note paper saying “enjoy the fair”. So we were going after all. The usual preparations took place. A big lunch packed in an 11 quart basket...shards of ice from the ice house in a glass jar of iced tea...sugar cookies, and a bowl of sliced cucumbers, radishes, and green onions....there was no such thing as plastic containers, or saran wrap back in the 30’s. A couple blankets to throw down on the grass, and we were all set. Mother had doled out Uncle Lou’s money to each of us to spend as we wished. Audrey said she was sure she had kept back a bill or

two, and we kids would never see it. It would go right into the sugar bowl with Mother’s egg money! The three brothers vanished into the crowd at the fairgrounds almost before Father brought the old Model T to a stop. They were told not to spend their money on food...there was plenty under the blanket on the grass! Mother would go to see the embroidery work and the baking, and Father would head for the livestock. My sister Audrey was saddled with looking after me, although there was no danger of a youngster of my age wandering off alone in those days. I knew where the blanket was, and I would be perfectly safe to come and go as I pleased. Audrey said she would give me one half hour, and that was it. Then I was on my own. I told her I would like to just walk around…. and wander in front of the big tents where the side-shows were, knowing perfectly well going inside was forbidden territory for me. But always out on the platform was a look of what a quarter would get you inside. I was fascinated at one stage where a little monkey sat on a chair eating a banana. I have no idea what was in the tent, but Audrey assured me it wasn’t suitable for the eyes of a six year old! We wandered on, me holding tightly to Audrey’s hand, passing one tent after another, all looking very forbidding to me. Then we came to the last tent in the row. A man, who looked like hadn’t seen bath water for a year, was honking through a horn affair inviting people in to see what he called “the oddities of mankind”. I had to ask Audrey what oddities meant, and she said just to look up on the stage.

And there stood two little people. Their hair had been cut close to their heads, and they stood just a few feet tall. Their faces were wrinkled, and even at my young age, I saw such sadness and despair in their eyes as they scanned the crowd around the stage. They looked so frightened, and the man kept yelling out to the people in front, that for a quarter... “just twenty-five cents” he said, go into the tent and have a closer look. My heart went out to those two little people on the stage, in the blinding sun, and unbearable heat, and I wanted to climb up the steps and yank the horn out of the man’s hands, and go to the little people and put my arms around them. I wanted to tell the people who were willing to part with a quarter, to turn away, look the other way. And I started to cry. My eyes connected with one of the little people, and her face, I thought softened, and I smiled in her direction. But the man was already shooing them off the stage and into the tent where those who had paid could get a closer look. I asked my sister why people would pay for this, and I told her I wanted to go to where our blanket was and sit for a spell and try to get the picture out of my mind. That year the rides didn’t seem as much fun, and the candy floss not as sweet. The picture stayed with me long after the Renfrew Fair was over. Like two lost souls, they were. When I went to bed at night after that day at the fair, when it came time for what Mother called our “silent prayers”, I remember the two little people, and I prayed that someone would rescue them from the man with the horn, and the hot tent, and the eyes of strangers.

KITCHEN KREATIONS

Honey…Jamie Oliver Would Be A Peach!

R0012265335

Lifestyle – Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband, Chris Martin, gave her Jamie Oliver cooking classes for her birthday. How awesome would it be to wake to Jamie Oliver cooking in my kitchen? The media reports Gwyneth was so excited she called her friends over. I can hear myself now: “Friends…Jamie just dropped by to duck, I mean make us cook, err…he is here, in my house with a huge cheeky grin, come on over.” Love him or hate him, he can cook. And, he is a force of change in the way we think about food. Jamie Oliver is a British chef, restaurateur and TV personality. He is widely known for his food-focused television shows, cookbooks and his campaign against the use of processed foods in schools. He lives in England with his wife and four children. To paraphrase from one of Jamie’s cookbooks: “Good food is important. It represents good times and bad times. For thousand of years we farmed and in harmony with nature. But now, through clever technologically, computers and busy lives we have moved further away from home-cooked food. We can now buy pre-packaged portions of dinner, complete with a steam valve and disposable packaging, ready in minutes.” He balked traditional cookbooks for visually stunning pages filled with ‘a pinch of’ and ‘a handful of this’ recipes. I like his cookbooks. Ironically, I do not often follow recipes. Taste and appearance is by far a greater testa-

ment to the meal than following a stepby-step process. For the recipes for this column, I practice to ensure they are favorites before including them as too often recipes can fail. Years ago, I even got the chance to cook with Jamie Oliver. He was on tour in New Zealand to promote a cookbook, and my girlfriend and I were selected to whip up a sexy dessert with him. I recall gushing when he commented on how well I separated eggs. I still have the autographed cookbook he gave me. In his seventh cookbook, Cook with Jamie, he demonstrates the basics. He has often claimed this book should have been his first cookbook. It provides the easy ways of how to shop, the basics of food preparation and cooking with great ingredients. There is some controversy that Jamie can’t truly appreciate cooking on a budget. As a celebrity chef, he buys from the butcher and uses fresh herbs with no concern for money. I would argue that having a garden and buying from the butcher is actually cheaper than most supermarkets. You can find value packs of meat at the local butcher. For instance, the Pig and Olive, among others, has meat trays prepared for ease of purchase. Separate and freeze and it will last weeks. The best part is their meat is aged, so you don’t lose half the weight when cooking. I shop at grocery stores, too. They have made big efforts made to ensure the customers are getting lo-

Kate Kristiansen

cal meat and produce. Jamie Oliver was a driver of this movement for some time. He is very vocal against supermarkets and claims fake food exists on their shelves, even while being a spokesman for Sainsbury’s (a UK grocery chain). Today, things are changing, though not completely resolved. Customers are becoming more educated and concerned about what we choose to eat. Grocery stores are listening. My home is a world away from Gwyneth and Jamie. While I wouldn’t trade in the efforts of my daughter’s carefully-cooked birthday breakfasts, it still sure would be a peach to have Jamie Oliver hand me a coffee and say, “Sit down love, what shall I make you today?” In honour of Jamie, and for all those peaches in need of canning and preserving, here is an easy peach cobbler recipe I adapted from foodnetwork.com. Peach Cobbler Serves 6 Ingredients: • 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches • 2 cups sugar, divided • 1/2 cup water • 8 tablespoons butter • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour • 1 1/2 cups milk • Ground cinnamon Directions: • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. • Combine the peaches, 1-cup sugar,

and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

• • Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt. • • Mix remaining 1-cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle

top with ground cinnamon. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. To serve, scoop into a bowl and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Meet Your Market Vendor: Hall Orchards hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Business - Hall Orchards from Brockville has been an in-

stitution in Southeastern Ontario since 1947, but they are still relatively new to the whole farmers’ market scene. Sept. 1 marked the first the orchard’s first day vending

in Kingston at the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market. “We’ve been doing markets for about five years now,” says orchard employee Matthew Shapton. “We’ve normally done them in Ottawa...but Jeff [from Roots Down farm who also goes to the Ottawa markets] was talking to us, telling us about this one, so we decided to come down and see what it’s like.” In addition to a variety of different kinds of apples, Hall Orchards sells a number of valueadded items like regular apple cider; sparkling ciders, which come in a variety of flavours such as peachy apple, cherry apple, cinnamon apple and regular apple; jellies; apple syrup; apple vinegar; baked goods; and even “apple chips”, which are wood pieces made from chopped up apple

trees for smoking fish and meat on the barbeque. “It’s a sweeter smoke than say a hickory,” Shapton says. “So it’s nice if you’re trying to do something like a fish or a chicken.” He points out that single-serving bottles of the sparkling cider are always kept on ice at the market stall. “They’re quite refreshing,” he notes. “It’s our juice, but we don’t have the carbonation facility so we send them out to a bottler that mixes it together and bottles it for us.” Despite the fact that apples are one of the most common foods around, Shapton says that a number of myths exist regarding the fruit. “Most people think of apples as only a fall thing, and don’t realize that they also come in summer,” he says, explaining that the first apples of the year, yellow transparents, are harvested in mid-July. “That is the biggest [misconception]. And the fact that we can actually store apples all year long. So when we pick our McIntosh in about two weeks we’ll start picking them for storage, and our Cortlands and Empires. We’ll put them in our coolers and we’ll [pump in nitrogen] until we’re down to about three per cent oxygen. We’ll bring them out of there all year long and we’ll still have apples come May next year, which nobody ever thinks about.” Another common apple misconception has to do with the apple syrup Hall Orchards sells.

“Some people think we tap the trees like maple syrup,” Shapton says. “We don’t. We mix the apple juice with the apple cider and sugar and reduce it down.” Of course, while apples may be virtually a year-round treat, autumn is when the fruit really shines. “Right now we’re just getting into the peak of apple season,” Shapton says. “Everything’s starting to come in.” In a couple of weeks, the orchard’s all-time bestseller, the Honeycrisp apple, will come into season. “It’s a very unique apple,” Shapton says. “It’s very crunchy without being overly hard to bite into. It’s a little sweet, a little tart - a little bit different from anything else.” As for himself, Sharpton notes that he is partial to Hall Orchard’s baked goods. “I can’t say the buttertarts are my favourite because they don’t have apples in them,” he laughs. “As far as the pies, the apple raspberry crumble is my personal favourite.” Hall Orchards has been family owned and operated since 1947. To learn more about their products, please visit http://www.hallsapplemarket.com/ or find them at the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market for the remainder of the season.

Simple ways to extend the life of your vehicle According to data from TrueCar.com, in 2012 the average new car cost $30,500. That’s a considerable expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise. Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. * Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have

enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. * Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, many of today’s

newer automobiles need their oil changed tanks. If that sediment finds its way into you look at your vehicle and how much less frequently.

Meet Your Market Vendor: Henderson Farms By Kelly Reid Reporter

EMC News - For the past 25 years, Henderson Farms on Wolfe Island has been producing a variety of jams, jellies, marmalades and other artisanal products. “It’s the third generation,” says current owner and operator William Henderson. His grandfather began the business as a dairy farm before selling it to his son. Since the current Henderson took over, the business has started to focus on organic, dairyfree and gluten-free products. “It’s what’s in demand now,” says Henderson. Henderson’s products have seen lots of acclaim over the past years. “They’ve all won first or second prize,” he says of his yearly entries into the Royal Winter Fair. The blueberry jam, pear and raspberry jam, and the orange and lemon marmalade are all 2012 first place winners. They’ve also been featured in such publications as Chatelaine, Ottawa Magazine and Wish Magazine. Even though market season is winding down, Henderson Farms looks forward to a busy fall. “October, November, and December is actually our peak season,” says Henderson. This is the time of year that much of the preserving and jarring is done. “We have a commercial kitchen on our farm,” he explains. “It’s a

big production period.” When the market closes for the season, interested foodies can find Henderson products in stores across Ontario and Quebec. In Kingston, some of the retail outlets include Cooke’s Fine Foods, Glenburnie Grocery and John’s Deli. For fall, Henderson has several products that are both seasonal as well as delicious. “I recommend the elderberry or the wild choke cherry,” he says of his jam options. “They grow locally. For those that are really into hunting, it goes great on duck and venison.” The Henderson Farms website has a recipe page with a number of suggestions on how to use the products in unusual ways, including ginger-glazed rack of pork and blueberry maple cake. William Henderson believes that Kingstonians should come to the market “if you want to support your local growers and know where your food is coming from. “It’s better food for you,” he goes on to say, as market consumers are able to avoid genetically modified foods as well as pesticides and herbicides. “You want to get to know the vendors individually, so you’re building a partnership. It’s a partnership for life.” Visit Henderson Farms at the Kingston Public Market stalls 20 and 21, or visit them online at www.hendersonfarms.on.ca. Henderson Farms will be retailing at the market until Oct. 31.

The eyes have it. Lifestyle – A few decades back, Stephen Wild thought his eyes were his weakness. Turns out he has the gifted eye of a master photographer. He wanted to become a commercial pilot and was training with Kingston Air Services. When it came time for an aviation medical exam, required prior to obtaining the commercial license, he failed the eye test. Who would have guessed where those eyes would take him. As a young boy he sometimes went to work with his father at the Queen’s University Chemistry Department. “On PA days, I’d go and help with the technical illustration,” Stephen said. “I was 11 and would process film. University was like a little playground for me.” Today, Stephen has an impressive commercial, architectural, industrial, magazine and fashion portfolio. The seeds of growth were planted early, but they took time to work through the fertile ground of creativity. After his flight training came to an abrupt halt, he worked at Black’s Camera as an assistant manager. “I realized photography interested me,” he said. “I knew I needed training, so went back to school at St. Lawrence College.” He opened a studio in Kingston in 1984 and went to Toronto with a portfolio in hand about a year later. He went knocking on doors at places

like Chatelaine and Flare. He opened another studio, on Spadina in Toronto, and travelled back and forth from Kingston. Keen on improving his professional skills, he approached fashion pros who mentored him in Toronto. “Hanging out with them and watching helped me learn a massive amount.” He built a solid reputation and portfolio. But his work in Toronto affected his grades at school. He approached the head of the department at St. Lawrence, who told him: “What do you need this place for? Go.” That teacher had the wisdom to understand that Stephen had special skills. So Stephen left school for professional work and never looked back. He now teaches part-time at St. Lawrence. He worked with prestigious agencies like Ford and Elite in Toronto and Zoom in Ottawa. He ended up with some work in New York City. In the late 1980s he worked at the World Supermodel Convention in Orlando. “That was kind of fun,” he said. Probably an understatement. At one point, he was working with 300 models a year. Then he hooked up with a talent agency next to his Toronto studio. “For months and months I worked with actors,” he said. “I’d shoot 20 or 30 people over four days. I had no time for sleep.”

Like many high level pros, Stephen rarely takes on a wedding. It’s a specialty that one either loves or hates. Unfortunately, it ‘s where a lot of amateurs try to enter the pro world. I’ve seen thousands of horrendously expensive amateurish wedding photos. Stephen mentioned an ad he put in a local magazine. “At the bottom, I said, ‘No, I don’t do weddings.’ I had so many people call saying they liked the sarcasm and then asked, ‘Can you do our wedding?’” He declined most. On the other hand, he thrives at fashion photography. “I really love doing fashion,” he said. “Seeing what you can come up with for the person and the environment you’re working in, the results when things connect are amazing.” One time, while on a hospital assignment photographing 21 surgeries, a nurse recognized him and said to the surgeon: “He’s a fashion photographer, you know.” I guess work with supermodels trumped the surgeon’s status. Stephen and I have crossed paths on professional assignments for years. I’ve always loved his work. He’s one of only a handful of photographers in the region who can work with the best of them.

When it comes to commercial and artistic photography, Stephen Wild is in the company of people like Bernard Clark, Wayne Hiebert, Jay Kopinski, Suzy Lamont (who trained with Stephen), Jonathan Sugarman and Robert Taylor. There are hundreds of photographers around, but this crew is the tops. Each has specialties ranging from fashion to fine art. One of the hardest tasks is street photography. You control nothing in the environment. It’s unethical to set up shots to look like a spontaneous event or news. Sadly, mainstream news media outlets do it all the time. National Geographic has been caught doing this more than once. Their credibility tanked. On the street, things happen according to whatever light and action comes along, not according to how you’d like it to happen. Stephen Wild can handle the tough stuff. Low light. No light. Unexpected changes in action. Most recently we worked side-by-side on stage at Blues Fest. It’s a blast when working with other photographers who know what they’re doing. Shared adrenalin. With technological leaps in photographic equipment, many photographers forget the basic nature of their work. “The first thing I tell my students is that nothing has changed about photography in the past hundred years,” he

the musical world than I’d had prior,” he said. “I got to understand the mechanics and the heart and soul of it all.” One of his favorite shoots over the years was with Hydro One. “We worked from a helicopter for two weeks,” he said. “We flew close to the ground, shooting urban areas with hydro lines. It was a lot of fun. That is the best part of doing our job. There are so many things we see and people we meet. Few people have that kind of access to the world.” He still gets to travel for his work. “Have camera, will travel,” he said. I’m looking forward to one of his future projects, a book about Egypt. He visited before the riots and hopes to produce a book about the country. In addition to his commercial work and teaching, he’d like to start running some workshops. “I went to the Henry’s convention in Toronto a couple of months ago,” he said. “There was a huge crowd. There’s definitely a market for amateurs and semi-pros who want to learn more. It’s about time I gave back to the field. Workshops would be a good way to do it.” For more information or to contact Stephen Wild: 613.389.6232; wild@ kingston.net .

says. “It’s still about light and how it reacts.” He likes the excitement in his career. Five metres from a famous musician on stage, inside a surgical room, fashion models—The average person can’t get close to these events and experiences. The high end photographer lives in them. The surprises in our work are often exciting. For example, Stephen Wild was working with musician Sue Foley, doing photography for a promotional tour and CD cover. “The UK magazine Guitarist saw some of the shots and emailed me,” he said. “They said I had some material they were interested in.” The magazine wanted to use one of Stephen’s images. His work was included alongside photos of people like John Lee Hooker and John Lennon. Next, a guitar company, Epiphone, saw his work. One shot featured a guitar, their brand. So they wanted to use an image. A big smile fills Stephen’s face as he recounts this story. “They said, ‘Thank you very much. We’ll be talking to you.’ Then a while later there’s a knock at the door and it’s UPS with a big package. I opened it and there was a Les Paul Custom guitar, a thanks from the guitar company.” It’s a dream guitar for many musicians. Wisely, Stephen took guitar lessons for three years. “It gave me a better appreciation for

Child raises $100 for Kingston Humane Society By: Mandy Marciniak Reporter

EMC News - While most kids spend their summer playing and en-

joying the freedom of being away from school, 11-year-old Mari Lehoux decided that her summer goal would be to help raise money for a worthy cause.

Over the past two months, Mari raised $100 for the Kingston Humane Society by selling lemonade, cookies and cupcakes outside her home. “Me and my friend wanted to raise a bit of money for a cause and after we sold some stuff for the first time we decided to see if we could reach $100 by the end of the summer,” explained Mari. “My friend ended up not being able to help for a lot of the summer so I decided to continue on my own.” At the peak of her fundraising, Mari was able to raise $27 dollars in one day. Some

days were more difficult than others, but Mari stuck with it and tracked her progress throughout the summer. She also learned what sold best and when to sell it. “On the hottest days there weren’t as many people around and I was just sitting in the sun and it was really, really hot, but when the Kingston Music Festival was going on I sold a lot more because there were so many people out. It varied a lot depending on the weather and what was happening in Kingston.” The decision to donate the money to the Humane Society was an easy one for Mari, who has always loved animals. She also lives very close to the Kingston Humane Society, but had never actually been in the building before. “My dad was always afraid that I would want to get all the animals and he was probably right. I’d see them and feel really sad for them and want to take them all home.” Mari dropped off her donation on Sept. 3 and the Humane Society gave her a few options for distributing the

funds: the money could go to help spay and neuter animals, it could assist in emergency care or it could just be donated for overall use. After some deliberation and meeting a dog named Jax, Mari decided to give her money to emergency care. “The dog I met there, Jax, was actually hit by a car and needed emergency surgery on his hip so the money I raised would go to another case like his. He was such a sweet dog and I like the idea of helping out another dog like him in the future.” After reaching her goal this summer, Mari doesn’t plan on stopping her fundraising efforts. She hopes to raise money for many animal funds in the future with a focus on the World Wildlife Fund. “I really like helping animals and affecting the world in that way. I really enjoyed doing it and once I got to the $100 I thought I could definitely do it again,” said Mari, “I am busier now with school, but I think if I just sell when I can I’ll reach my goal again.”

PUZZLE PAGE

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, you may not like scheduling too many things in advance, but sometimes it pays to plan and let others know your schedule so their minds are at ease. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – You may experience a financial windfall this week, Taurus. It may be a good time to ask for a raise or to play the lottery. Luck is on your side in the coming days. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, expand your horizons and your path to success will be illuminated. Creativity will bring new opportunities and people into your life this week. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Share your optimism and enthusiasm with others, Cancer. You may prove unable to contain your happiness, so don’t be surprised if those around you pick up that vibe. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, expect your social life to take off this week. Things pick up with your friends, and romance might be right around the corner. Enjoy the ride. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, you might think you can do no wrong at work, but scale back on risky decisions. Right now you have achieved financial stability, and you don’t want to risk that. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, your heart is set on a lofty goal, but you recognize all the hard work necessary to make that goal a reality. Give it your best shot, and you will be glad you did. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, you may convince yourself that now is not the time to spend money on something that will make you feel good, but there is no reason to let fear get in the way of happiness. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – A friend or partner could open up a window of opportunity for you, Sagittarius. Make the most of this opportunity, and success will soon follow. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t get much done this week, Capricorn. There are many enticing distractions, and you can afford to devote some time to trivial pursuits. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, this week may allow you to have your cake and eat it, too. Friends may be envious of your luck, so be sure to share some of your good fortune with those around you. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Pisces, devote ample time to your personal life this week. A few things need sorting out, so don’t hesitate to put other matters on the back burner.
