Gazette News — Central Frontenac Council decided to use the $5,000 it has sitting in a fund for projects related to a multiuse facility in Sharbot Lake to block off a portion of the trail running through the hamlet to cars and trucks. Coun. Frances Smith, who chairs the multi-use facility committee, said the plan is to use boulders to block the trail from government docks to the beach. She said the construction would be similar to the trail entry points used on the K & P Trail and would be a first step towards creating a raised walking trail side-by-side with a path for four-wheelers and snow machines. Mayor Janet Gutowski noted that this section of trail is also used as overflow parking for events such as Canada Day and the Sharbot Lake Farmers Market. Smith responded that the structure could include lockable gates that would not only allow for parking but also OPP patrols down the lane. “There are some beautiful rock outcrops on that part of the trail and this will make it much safer for walking traffic,” she said. ••• Work on Baker Valley Road could be in Central Frontenac’s next budget, Public Works Manager Mike Richardson told Council at its last meeting Events - Sharon Soles and Ian MacKay took advantage of ‘buck a bag’ during the last hour of in Piccadilly Hall. “I’ve been here four Trinity United Church’s annual Whale of a Sale last weekend in Verona.

years and listened to people wanting to upgrade the roads in that area,” he said. “I guess my resistance is wearing down. “(But) there seems to be a growing concern that people are not obeying current signs (and) signage is a big issue to manage traffic.” Richardson said the intersection of Lake Shore and Baker Valley Roads needs work before signage can be addressed but recommended the work be included in next year’s budget. “It would be good for the Township but will be expensive, in the neighbourhood of $24,000, because there will be blasting required,” he said. “Without grade changes, just obeying the signs will make it difficult to stop without leaving skid lines that will need grading every year.” “That’s a full assessment of what needs to be done,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski. “I think it needs to be done because we’ve been brushing this under the rug for years.” “I agree,” said Coun. Jeff Matson. “It’s too crowded there but there is plenty of room to widen the roads.” ••• Public Works Manager Mike Richardson also told Council that the bear fence (for the dumps) report is “coming” and there is $28,000 budgeted for it. “There are two main components to this,” he said. “One is to protect residents from bears and vice versa; and two, is to control garbage spread.”

No speed bumps or rumble strip in Crow Lake Road repairs Coun. Wayne Millar suggested rumble strips like those on Hwy. 7 between Sharbot Lake and Perth. “You can’t put rumble strips on surface-treated roads like Crow Lake,” said Richardson. “You need asphalt for them to adhere to.” Council decided to look into the possibility of a speed meter for drivers to see as they enter the hamlet. Still with roads, “brushing is still a concern,” Richardson said. “Richardson Road was brushed by hand and to speed up the entire process, we have reduced the width that the brusher was cutting and kept it closer to the road with less cutting near the fence line. “We have also taken on a contractor with a tractor-mounted

Gazette News — A report on the repairs to Crow Lake Road and Cross Road following last summer’s flash flood opened up some more floodgates at last week’s regular Central Frontenac Council meeting in Piccadilly Hall. “Virtually everything is done (on Crow Lake Road),” said Public Works Manager Mike Richardson. “It took awhile, there were a lot of different parts.” With Crow Lake Road on the table, Mayor Janet Gutowski took the opportunity to once again address traffic on the narrow road and road residents’ requests for ways to slow it down. “There have been requests for speed bumps but I worry about them on narrow roads,” she said. “If somebody doesn’t obey the speed bumps, they could go flying off into somebody’s house.” Richardson agreed. “There are a number of box trucks that use that route and speed bumps tend to disrupt their loads,” he said. “That could create another potential hazard. “I don’t have any great wisdom (as to a potential solution) on this.”

Penitentiary of the Province of Upper Canada.” The King Street prison by the lake has gained a notorious reputation for previous riots and escapes, and as home to some of Canada’s worst criminals like Bernardo, Williams, Shafia and Olson. The federal government announced in 2012 that the aging maximum security prison no longer meets the needs of a 21st century correctional system and will be shuttered. Public tours will begin just days after the last inmate is transferred out. Corrections plans to hold a formal decommissioning ceremony in late October. Neither the government nor Corrections has said what will become of Kingston Pen, though part of it is designated a National Historic Site. Kingston mayor Mark Gerretsen says the city has no interest in purchasing the site. “I don’t think there’s any interest in using taxpayer dollars to buy the Kingston Pen.” However, the mayor says the idea currently being pitched by a local group to transform part of the mothballed prison into a centre for sailing excellence has some merit. The waterfront prison is located beside Portsmouth Olympic Harbour.

If we cannot help, we know who can and will gladly partner you with the Community Care Access Centre or the SMILE Program in South East Ontario. Our services cover South Frontenac Township, Portland through Loughborough, Storrington and rural Kingston, north of the highway 401. Community Support Month is also a time to volunteer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to help your neighbours and build community. We are in particular need of volunteer drivers in both North and South Frontenac to provide transportation for shopping, social programs, medical and legal appointments. Time commitment is on an as needed basis and your kilometers will be reimbursed.

Kingston Photography Meetup - a chance to learn by doing Gazette Lifestyle - About a year and a half ago, Steve Brule started Photography Meetup in Kingston. The Meetup concept started in New York City. There are now more than 126,000 groups around the world and it’s growing at a rate of almost 10,000 new groups a month. Group specialties are diverse and range from cooking to photography. There is a monthly fee to run a group through Meetup. The New York organization provides web

hooked up with the Ottawa Photography Meetup group. With the corporate world in a constant downsizing mode, Brule decided it was time to give photography, videography and film making a chance. “In film production, you struggle and struggle and then one day you’re in a limousine on your way to the Oscars,” he said. “You have to have a sense of humor and you have to take big personal risks. You have to invest something of your personal life experience and you’ll be vulnerable. Most people can’t imagine or create a story, but they recognize a good one when they see it. Most people are surprisingly good at recognizing a good story that rings true. It’s a tragedy but our culture and socialization kills people’s imaginations.” Brule wanted to create an opportunity for photographers in the Kingston region to meet and explore many topics and skills. It’s not classroom based. Recent subjects for the Kingston Photography Meetup group have included ballerinas in a dance studio, Run or Dye, street portraits and models. It’s an idea that’s taken off.

But at the end of three hours, a fine collection of dance photographs had been created. It’s a great learning situation. Aside from the basics of understanding the physics of light and camera operations, you do not learn photography in a classroom.

in on a session recently. A group of ten photographers had an opportunity to create images working with a group of ballerinas at the Kingston School of Dance. There were setup shots, which are the least challenging. There were also lots of action shots with dancers constantly in motion and sometimes flying through the air. It’s never easy getting good dance action shots. Participants figured that out quickly.

He started early. “For a birthday present when I was quite young I got a Polaroid camera,” he said. “For my next camera, my brother and I went in together to buy it.” It was a twin lens reflex camera, a great tool for learning photography skills.

hard road. It takes a lot of skill. You have to know your camera thoroughly. You have to understand dance, and you have to understand the specific form of dance you’re photographing. I was so inspired with the photographers surrounding me at the Kingston School of Dance that I decided to host a Meetup on theatre photography. Photographers will get an opportunity to shoot live theatre. Live performance is a nightmare for many photographers. There are no setups or second chances in live theatre (or live dance performances) and you have no control over the light (or extreme lack of light). There’s a huge frustration curve to conquer, but that’s where you learn. You’ll never learn action photography in a class. It helps to have a mentor and you learn by doing. That’s what Kingston Photography Meetup is all about. For more information about the Kingston Photography Meetup, visit www.meetup.com/KingstonPhotography.

Do you have a Charity Child?

Make your community part of your family. When thinking about preparing a Will most individuals divide their estate among their immediate family. They want to be sure that they can provide for the needs of their loved ones. What people may not consider are the possible tax consequences to this decision. Individuals often worry that the tax burden placed on their estate will prevent their children from inheriting all that they should. Some feel it’s not their problem—“the children will work it out.” Consider this question, “If you had a choice to give a portion of your estate to the government in tax or leave a gift to charity”, which one would you prefer? The answer is probably obvious, but it might still be difficult to know how to make the gift a reality. One creative way to give to charity is to include a ‘Charity Child’ in your Will planning. Including a ‘Charity Child’ could be of real benefit to those who are interested in providing for their loved ones, leaving a legacy to their community and limiting their estate to the exposure of estate taxes*. Here’s an example: Through careful estate planning a family with three children divides their estate into quarters, leaving the last quarter to go to not-for-profits or charities that have touched their lives. Upon the passing of both parents, the Will outlines that each child will receive one quarter of their parent’s estate. The fourth quarter is dedicated to the Charity Child and directed to the causes that are dearest to their hearts. By placing a charitable bequest in one’s Will, the estate will benefit and receive a charitable tax receipt for the gift. This will help to offset any taxes payable to the government. The children will still receive the portion of the estate generously left for them as well. What is also very important is the children can celebrate their parents’ legacy of making a difference in the community through their philanthropic dreams. As a society we are wealthy beyond measure and one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is the gift of philanthropy and a legacy of helping others. How do you want to be remembered? Please consider making a difference in the lives that follow. * This is a general source of information only.

The Kingston Photography Meetup group had more than 50 members within a few weeks of its launch. “Part of the strength of the group is that it gives an opportunity for new people to work with those who are more experienced and it gives the experienced a chance to take on the role of mentor,” said Brule. He encourages any member with a particular skill to make a suggestion for a Meetup. Some sessions have a fee, but most are free. “We’re going to have a yearly membership fee soon,” said Brule. “It won’t be a lot, maybe ten or twenty dollars. I don’t want this to be something where no one bothers to do anything. It’s meant to be a group that is active, where people can grow their skills and push ideas forward and get out there and do stuff.” Brule said he’d like the group to become a resource. “I’d like this group to be able to be a go-to place even for people outside of the group looking for photographers or information. I would like to see this as a resource for the community.” He explained that as photographers’ skills develop, they shouldn’t be afraid to make money. Many media outlets today encourage amateurs to upload their photos, and the average amateur photographer jumps at the chance to see their name on a TV screen or in public. It may be an ego boost, but it’s slowly destroying the image of professional photography. Brule said he’d like to see more Photography Meetup shows and productions. Their first one is running this month, with group members’ images on display at The Sleepless Goat on Princess Street. “I’d like to see more events that focus on work done by people in the group,” said Brule. “In the future this may include film productions for festivals or YouTube.

In Our Opinion

Earth 2.0 could be right next door

‘Stupid is as stupid does’ — Forrest Gump Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column — Albert Einstein once reportedly said: “only two things are infinite — the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not that sure about the universe.” One of the areas where our human stupidity is all too evident is when we try to ‘fix’ something. We never seem to think this one through. In the first place, we seldom take a good, hard look at the problem to see if there actually is a problem. Much of the time, things we think are problems aren’t really problems at all, they’re just somebody over-reacting or giving in to another human propensity — our love of drama. But even if there is a real problem, we all too often get fixated on remedying one situation that we completely forget that our ‘solution’ may create more problems than it solves.

We seem to love little catch phrases like “it’s a win-win situation.” Nothing is ‘win-win.’ In order for there to be a winner, there has to be a loser — winner and loser are a matched set. You just can’t break them up. Regardless of whatever project we pursue, there will always be something or somebody worse off than when we started. Of course, this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do anything, but it does mean we should really look at all the possibilities before we start some of the cockamamie things we humans do. But unfortunately, this is where our human stupidity really comes to the forefront. We all love our own ideas. And, we all hate to be questioned on our ideas. Thus, we tend to ignore, dismiss, and/or deride things that might call our genius into question. School boards tend to be particularly adept at this one. One of the things we don’t seem to be able to grasp very readily is the concept that the end

rarely justifies the means. You could end the itch of a mosquito bite on your finger by cutting off the hand. But would that be an acceptable solution? We don’t seem to understand is that ideas are the easy part. Putting those ideas into practice is where the problems lies. And strangely enough, most bad ideas are born of good intentions. But good intentions are quite simply not a good enough reason to do most things. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions and all that. This, unfortunately leads to another disturbing fact. Good intentions often lead people to believe that they are, in fact, right, while everyone else is wrong. As Bertrand Russell once said, “the trouble with this world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.” Russell also said: “men are born ignorant. They are made stupid by education.” Well, fortunately all of this is hardly education but if you take anything out of this diatribe, take this: don’t fix what ain’t broke.

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, October 3, 2013

Gazette Editorial - Wormholes and warp speed will have to wait. This year’s World Space Week centres on our celestial next door neighbour, the planet Mars. World Space Week is an international holiday taking place Oct. 4 - 10, which corresponds to two important dates in space exploration history: the Oct. 4, 1957 launch of the first man-made satellite into space, Sputnik, and the Oct. 10, 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which forbids the weaponization of space, and any government from claiming a celestial resource such as a moon, asteroid or planet. Mars’ reddish hue has captured the imaginations of earth-bound observers since antiquity, with its iron oxide-laced soil conjuring visions of an angry god. At the beginning of the 21st century, the red planet appears closer to humanity’s grasp than ever with the Curiosity Rover exploring a bit of Red Planet every day and another fly-by mission scheduled for 2018. In addition, multiple organizations around the world planning the first manned missions, even laying the ground work for colonization. Outside of Earth, Mars is widely held to be the most habitable planet in the solar system. Indeed, many astronomers now believe that Mars once had an Earth-like environment, with flowing lakes and rivers and a much thicker atmosphere. The existence of large quantities of water in the form of permafrost has now been confirmed by robotic explorations. This has led to proposals that humans begin the process of terraforming the red-planet (i.e. attempting to give Mars an earth-like atmosphere, thereby making it conducive to life). Of course, there are several problems to overcome. Scientists are not sure how or even if human beings can survive for extended periods of time in gravity almost one third that of Earth. Moreover, Mars currently lacks a magnetosphere, which makes retaining an atmosphere much more difficult, and scientists are unsure if human beings could withstand prolonged exposure to solar radiation. We would like to encourage our readers to participate in this year’s space week by following the events and discussions occurring online. We invite local educators to inspire students with amazing but true facts from another world. Above all, we encourage youth to dream of a day when our descendants will breathe the pristine air of a lush green Martian paradise, transformed by our limitless imagination and ingenuity.

He is capable of doing everything we expect of him, but Steeleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest problem sometimes is that he tries to overdo it a little bit. But if he is on his game, he is one of the best twoway defencemen in this league,â&#x20AC;? said the coach after a recent game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want him to jump into the play. He is a very good skater, a good offensive player. We want him to jump in and add that extra offence, but at the right time. And for the most part, especially this season, he has been doing that. He has become very reliable defensively, and is very valuable for us on special teams.â&#x20AC;? Gill also said it makes him and the other coaches feel good that the Frontenacs are doing so well this season and have a chance to do something special. It means the hard work and dedication of the likes of Steele, Jean Dupuy and Darcy Greenaway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; players who have been through the tough times of the past couple of years - are being rewarded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They went through some pretty bad times to get to where we are now, and I am glad that they are still here to be able to enjoy them,â&#x20AC;? said Gill.

Veteran Steele Continued from page 10

“You really just took it game to game, and always played and practiced as hard as you could. I never gave up because you never know what can happen over a long season. Like last year when Peterborough made a late run and almost knocked us out of our playoff position. That proved that the season is not over until the last buzzer. I think you’ve always got to play every game like it’s your last in this league, because you never know. I just battled through all the adversity as best I could,” said Steele, in an interview with Kingston Heritage, adding that he

knew the brain trust at the top of the organization had an effective plan to turn the franchise’s on-ice fortunes around. “We have a great management staff up there, and they had a blueprint from day one. They knew what year they were going to build for, and when we were going to be a skilled team. They made the right moves and they also knew that we had a really good batch of young players coming up.” Steele described himself as a player who leads by example. Because of his lengthy tenure with the Frontenacs, he knows the young players and new acquisitions look to him.

“The way I lead is by doing every aspect of the game to the best of my ability. I really like to lead by example. You don’t always have to speak up in the dressing room. If you’re doing the right things on and off the ice, they younger guys are going to follow suit,” Steele said. He also knows that Gill and the other coaches have expectations of him continuing to be a leader on and off the ice. “The coach wants me to be one of the leaders on the back end. I think my strengths are being a solid, two-way defenceman, using my speed and skating to make a quick first pass and then jump into

the play if need be. And also he wants me to be shutting down their top forward lines when we are on the penalty kill,” said Steele, who appreciates having a former 18year NHL veteran defenceman as his head coach. “Over the years he has done a lot of work with me on my timing on when to jump into the play. Sometimes he has to put the reins on me to not go all the time, and he has shown me that I don’t need to jump up that much because we’re not going to have a problem scoring goals. [Coach Gill] has been through the grind of 18 years in the NHL and he knows what he is talking about. He stuck around

that long because he knows what needs to be done. I know he wants to bring some of that experience to our game and all of us on the blue line are trying to pick up some of the little tricks that he knows.” Steele said he wants to go as far as he can in hockey, but is also planning for his future and is taking courses at Queen’s University.

Lake associations want new mandatory septic inspection By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — A coalition of lake associations would like to see a mandatory septic inspection program in Central Frontenac, representatives told Council at its regular meeting last week in Piccadilly Hall. Terry Kennedy, president of the Kennebec Lake Association, Larry Arpaia, president of the Bob’s and Crow Lakes Association and former Township CAO/Clerk John DuChene presented a two-page document they said outlines the issue. The document is a follow-up to a letter dated Sept. 19 which was signed by the presidents of the seven largest lake associations in the Township (Bob’s and Crow, Kennebec, Big Clear, Eagle, Elbow, Long and Sharbot Lakes). “The excellent water quality we see in this area is because of a healthy balance (and) we don’t want to upset that balance,” said DuChene. “We’re here to hope Council will support a first step and bring in a program using the

tools available. “We want to make sure it will be fair and reasonable but also address septic problems.” “One of the key parameters used to assess lake water quality is phosphorus levels,” said Arpaia. “The MOE mandates maximum phosphorus concentrations for protection of water quality and sets limits for the allowable phosphorus load from shoreline development. “Unfortunately, phosphorus enrichment of lake water can lead to reduced oxygen levels, especially in deep, cold water.” Council, while obviously concerned about water quality and the concerns septic systems pose, also had concerns about the logistics of such a program. “Nowhere do I see the word ‘mandatory’ in this,” said Coun. John Purdon. “We’ve had a (voluntary) program for four years. “Do you continue that or add a new mandatory program?” “The process would include mandatory,” said

Kennedy. “Two things,” said Coun. Frances Smith. “How do we go about this? “Neighbours talk about neighbours but . . . “And two, how do we pay for this? “The health unit and the conservation authorities used to do the inspections but if we were to take it on, we’d probably need an extra staff person.” “I spoke to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority after reading this and the only area in Ontario where septic inspection is mandatory is Lake Simcoe,” said Coun. Tom Dewey. “What about enforcement — do you have the authority to do the inspections? “I think we can’t just throw it out there and say we’re going to do it. “We have to have a plan.” To that end, Council passed a motion to establish a committee that would investigate the formulation and implementation of a septic inspection program.

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

In the heart and soul of the artist was in high school in Pembroke. My teacher made me go to a spot I was not comfortable with. I was drawing everything realistically and he wanted me to do some abstract painting.” The teacher examined her painting. She was still not in a comfortable spot as she waited for his impression. “I hate critiques,” she said. “No one can tell me what my heart and soul should be. But my teacher said he couldn’t critique anything about it and gave me 100%. So even though other people told me I drew well, I did a whole bunch of jobs not related to art through my life. But my mom got sick in 2003 and I started to work at home and then I did a whole lot more art.” Murphy took a transcribing course and landed a two-week stint at CFB Kingston. She was then asked if she’d work at home doing transcriptions for the military. She also transcribes for media companies, law enforcement, lawyers and private clients. She still does transcription. It was the perfect arrangement for her. She worked at home, cared for her mom, did her artwork and single-parented her son. “My mother and son have more meaning to me than driving a nice car,” she said. “My quality of life was so much better because I was doing things important to me.” Her mother passed away in August, 2011. “I just turned 49 and that time of

year still hits me really hard,” she said. Many of her early memories furthered her artistic inspiration. “I was hard to feed as a kid,” she said. “I had to sit at the table until I finished my food. I observed everything around me, the shadows, when someone moved. I can’t put my finger on it, but sometimes I wake up and I’m driven to paint. Sometimes there’s something in my head and I picture it. It comes out and I paint it.” There’s a certain irony to the fact that the kind of painting Murphy most feared when she started, abstract, is where she’s most successful. “I don’t think anyone should shy away from art,” she said. “It’s such a release. It’s like some kind of healing. It’s fulfilling.” Besides her art work, she likes photography and writing. As a teenager, she wrote a lot of poetry. As she describes art and the process of creation, she pauses. Silence. There’s a thought creation going on in her head. “Art, to me, is anyone’s experience of something that they feel they need to express from their heart and soul,” she said. “If you don’t love what you’re creating, it’s just technical and robotic. It’s not art.” She said there is a creative space she enters where she loses track of time. Continued on page 16 R0012324813

Gazette Lifestyle - Colleen Murphy’s artistic passion goes back as far as her memories. “I never had formal training,” she said. “I don’t recall ever not doing it.” But early in her life, an event occurred which amplified art’s importance. She got tangled in a loop of her dog’s leash. “Blackie pulled and I broke my leg,” Murphy said. “I was in a full body cast on both legs and up my body to my arms. There was nothing to do for six weeks. My mom gave me crayons and paper.” Any creativity already present was certainly enhanced. “Anyone who remembers me as a kid remembers me drawing. My artwork is so different. I never went to school for it, maybe that’s why.” Murphy was born in Pembroke but moved to St. Catharines when she was two. When she was 13, the family moved to Petawawa. “It was beautiful there,” she said. “But it was a bit of a culture shock. There was a beach down the street and I had a Newfoundland dog. We used to walk in the woods, write poetry and go to the beach and draw.” There were more moves, back and forth from Kingston to Petawawa. In 1994, she got a job at a sign shop in Kingston. She’s been here since. “All I did as a kid was draw,” she said. “I didn’t paint much until I

In the heart and soul of the artist DON’T WAIT for a furnace breakdown! Continued from page 14

“One of the things I notice when I’m doing my art is that seven or eight hours can go by and I don’t realize it’s gone,” she said. “I’ll look outside and it’s night. I don’t even realize I’d worked for several hours.” Murphy has never exhibited her work in a gallery. Her home, just west of Kingston, is full of her art. Her work is hauntingly beautiful. “I like the idea of showing my art,” she said. “But I don’t like the shmoozing. I don’t like that kind of attention and answering the same questions over and over.” She has joined a 23-member juried artist collective that will be opening a gallery in downtown Kingston in 2014. You can see their work on Facebook at Creative Kingston Collective. Murphy’s style is unique. “I don’t follow trends and never have,” she said. “My grade two teacher commented, ‘Col-

AvOID hIgh repAIr cOsTs for as little as $13.49 a month

leen sees God in everybody.’ I don’t think I’m better than anyone else. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.” She laughed and paused. “Some of us stumble more than others,” she said. “The most important thing in life and in art is to listen to your gut. That’s never wrong. Exclamation point! Being inspired by the moment is what starts the need to get something on canvas or paper. Art tells a story. It’s like a cave drawing. It shows our history. It shows how times change and people don’t. It’s important to look back at history. We are all the same. That’s why you should never treat anyone badly. It’s important to really try to treat people with respect. It’s also important to treat our environment with respect. I’m really concerned about how we treat each other and other species on this planet.” To contact Colleen Murphy: (art) colleensgallery@gmail.com; (transcribing) cmurphyslaws@ gmail.com.

Gazette Lifestyle - Bright coloured leaves, cool evenings and warm apple cider – fall is here. We are lucky to celebrate four distinct seasons in Canada. We have hot summer days and crisp winter mornings, each giving us cause for celebration. The autumnal equinox marks this welcome change of time. Make the most of the weather before the chill of winter sets in. Fall brings with it different outdoor activities. Wrap up warm and camping is still enjoyable. Discover the picturesque hiking trails with their changing leaves. It’s a great time to take the family to the local orchard. September is the beginning of apple season. Whether you pick your own or buy them from the grocery store or farmers’ market, this is the season to enjoy the

endless supply of apples available. Discover varieties like Cortland, Northern Spy, Honeycrisp, Empire, Spartan, Delicious, Ambrosia, Cox’s Orange Pippin and the good old McIntosh. French settlers introduced fruit trees to Nova Scotia in the early 1600s. By the mid-1800s, every province that could grew apples. Apple orchards and the families who farmed them helped create what would become the most important tree crop in Canada. Apple growing is so typically Canadian. I like to head out to fill a basket. We try to make apple picking an annual event. The sweet smell fills the house for weeks. We make apple pies, applesauce, apple cakes and cookies. Sometimes, we make a day of

picking apples. Take the ferry to Prince Edward County to pick apples and lunch on scrumptious food at a fine restaurant. The county is wonderful at any time of year. Autumn, with its wash of colour on the trees, makes it especially inviting. I like to take in the freshness of the lake air as the Glenora Ferry glides across the water. We are so lucky to live in a country of such beauty. Sometimes, an occasional stop for lunch at Waupoos Cider, known as the County Cider Company, is in order. I recommend a visit while the warm weather is still here. Sit in the outside patio garden overlooking Lake Ontario - the view is spectacular. Enjoy the wood fire pizza from the stone oven and sip the sweet nectar of cider produced on the farm. Waupoos Cider is located at 657 Bongards Rd, Picton. It is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the tasting room from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. This year, I will be picking apples a little closer to home. My own apple trees are laden with fruit. Apples are synonymous with fall, but I also enjoy the blossoms in the spring. For the health benefits alone, eating an apple is always a good

idea. It is fun finding the many uses for apples. Apples are tasty in loads of variations of sweet treats and savory dishes. Food and Wine Magazine has an apple-walnut

Frontenac Old Time Music Championships feature exciting finish By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — It was a homecoming of sorts at the 6th annual Frontenac Old Time Music Championship last weekend at the Lions Hall in Verona. Previous winners of the vocal competition, Mitch Barker, Abby Stewart and Augusta Campoli returned as featured performers. And Campoli brought along a friend, Briannah Cotton, who ended up being this year’s overall singing champ. “This is awesome, I’m so happy,” said the 16-year-old Cotton, who hails from Lindsay. “It’s my first win in competition but I was so nervous with the singoff.

“Oh my gosh it was pressure.” (Cotton can be found on YouTube with her band Brie and the Boys.) It was a day of firsts for the Championship. It was the first time being held in Verona (after outgrowing Piccadilly Hall, it moved to Bedford Hall for several years and outgrew that one too) and, it was the competition’s first sing off between Cotton and Verona’s own Mandy Kelly. “I’ll be back, absolutely,” said Kelly. “It’s been a while since I’ve sung in public. “I was in a bluegrass band when I was Mandy Barnes and it’s a part of me — breathing and singing.” The final might have actually been a three-way finish as young Hope Clarken also had a strong performance but was penalized for not having a third song prepared. “I really didn’t expect to be in this position,” she said. The pressure is something Toronto’s Campoli can relate to as last year’s vocal winner. But she said she enjoyed the experience so much that she encouraged Cotton to compete when they were both working with Canadian Idol judge Zack Warner. “I tell people ‘it’s awesome,’”

Campoli said. “It’s a great way to get on stage and share your stuff. “I’m really excited to be back.” Barker too was happy to be back, but his memory of winning six years ago is a bit different. “It’s kind of a blur,” he joked. “But I remember competing against my Uncle Guy and that it was a great time. “I made a lot of friends and it was a great time. “I’d recommend it to anybody.” 1st in Guitar-age 46-65 Glen Russell 1st in guitar- age 66 plus- Paul Rapelle

Enjoy local, organic produce year-round with winter community supported agriculture hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Gazette Lifestyle – Think you can’t have locally-grown food in February? Think again. Year-round local produce is becoming more and more accessible to residents of Kingston and area thanks to the increasing prevalence of winter community supported agriculture programs (CSAs). “We were really noticing a huge market gap in the winter for vegetables that could be produced locally and made available,” says Ian Stutt, co-owner of Patchwork Gardens farm in Battersea. Patchwork Gardens started a winter CSA in 2011 to complement their popular summer CSA; through these programs, members pay an upfront fee to receive monthly and weekly shares of organic produce, respectively. “We’re trying to move the farm into a four seasons model where we have sales through the winter of storage crops, as well as early and late hearty leafy greens and that kind of thing,” Stutt says. This year, Stutt and his fellow co-owners, Megan Joslin and Eric Williams, expect the Patchwork winter CSA to be bigger and better than ever. He notes that so far, the operation has been challenging but very successful and enjoyable. “It’s been really fun to keep

in touch with all the different families through the winter instead of just in the summer. And it’s really been a challenge for us to learn and get really good at quality storage practices. We’ve needed to build some more infrastructure for storage and for season extension, so it’s been challenging but there’s been a lot of interest and good feedback.” Stutt hopes that the winter CSA - which together with the summer CSA makes up about one third of Patchwork Gardens’ business - will help make it possible for him, Joslin and Williams to work full-time on the farm year-round. In this way, he says, producers and consumers are able to work together to build the capacity of local food in the region. While he notes that it is not yet realistic to say that the majority of a person’s diet can come from locally produced food during the winter months, the trend is certainly moving in this direction. “You do see the changes even over five years. The market demand is growing and the production base is growing. [The CSA model] gives us more of a certainty that the market is there. Then we can just focus on producing for it. What that allows us to do is plan ahead and know that we’re going to have productive work through the winter that needs doing. That allows us to then forego the off-

Frontenac Islands takes up Invitation to borrow from province What’s FRITE’ES! Happening By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news- At a recent special meeting of Frontenac Islands Council, council dealt with the by-law to authorize the submission of an application to the Ontario Infrastructure and lands Corporation (OILC) requesting financing for certain Frontenac Islands capital works projects, specifically the Wolfe Island arena Roof at an estimated cost of 600,000, (1st and 2nd reading). The application to OILC is seeking long term borrowing through the issue of debentures to OILC and temporary borrowing pending their issuance. The amount of the loan request was $600,000. The resolution received a third reading and was passed. However the actual amount of any loan will be determined at a later date, when the total of donations is known, and the final costs are fixed by contract. A question was asked regarding lump sum payments of such a loan, and also of any prepayment of the loan. The CAO was to obtain such details for council. Council also passed further resolutions regarding the Wolfe Island rink, as recommended by Project Manager Patrick Thompson, all in an effort to reduce some costs and determine the best bids. For instance they will negotiate with Custom Forming (sole bidder) to determine if savings can be realized to lower the costs of $73,000 for framing

(cement) for the rink roof. (discussion is underway with Lafarge). WI Community Centre Board spokesman Paul Hogan was present to speak to the issues, and noted that discussion is underway with Lafarge for a possible lower cement pricing.

They will also be re-issuing the tenders for the steel and erection component, with some modifications to the plans in order to bring that pricing lower. There were 5 original bids received. He pointed out that CCB money has already been raised and received through grants (Trillium, CFDC, Hockeyville, Music Fest etc.) Exciting times….. 2. Further to Wolfe Island Grill owner Casey Fisher’s request for a noise exemption, CAO George Luhowy presented a package of material with regard to noise and hearing outlining effects of db levels on hearing as well. It included Ministry of Labour guidelines ( anything above 85 db’s is not acceptable from a work standpoint etc.) and 3 examples of noise bylaws from other townships and different levels based on times of day and days of week. Village spokesman Ken Keyes reminded council that the upcoming planning & zoning commercial-residential designation recommended for Marysville makes it unusual to come up with an answer. Deputy Mayor Jones suggested that possibly an APP for checking db levels might be available when the question arose of how to check on this aspect. A person in the public section checked and

showed there was. That lead to laughter when someone else suggested indiviuals wandering up and down with cell phones listening to the music. Fisher noted that The Mansion in Kingston is also in a commercial- residential area and has a 85 db level limit. Ken Keyes and Casey Fisher will continue to work on finding agreement to determine the right db level and time frames for any exemption to the township’s noise bylaw for the next council meeting Oct. 15th on Howe Island. 3. There was some discussion about the recent visit of the By Law Control Officer Ken Gilpin and some concerns that have been raised. 4. Council approved the purchase of a 1997 pumper truck for the Howe Island Fire and Rescue Department at a cost of $25,000. Funds were transferred from the Howe Island Fire Reserves.

Lifestyle – An email arrived recently from John Evans, C.E.T., in Jasper, Ontario, raising the perennial question of where do you park your classic car if you drive it to the mall? First, John’s letter: “I don’t have an antique car yet but hope to have something soon to restore. I do have a 2007 Dodge Charger that I have babied since the spring of ’08. Nice after-market rims from the States…silver steel metallic paint job…tinted out… classy look…keep it in my heated garage every winter. It’s only seen snow on the ‘lot’…no salt! Maybe it will become a project car some day. Anyway, I take extremely good care of it. I drive it gently and wash it up like it’s a baby. “Now down to the story part. Whenever I drive to town (I’m a country boy), I always park at the back of the lot when shopping…or find parallel parking on the street to avoid those terrible door dings. Body on mine still perfect…no marks. I park way, way from everyone else and walk to the stores. Often, if the lot is approaching capacity, I will look for another nice car to park beside, as I’m sure they will be careful. “So, parking recently at the Independent Grocer in Smiths Falls, I found a nice red glossy Mustang convertible to park beside. He or she parked a little

‘squiffy’ to avoid door dings so I snuggled up to protect both our cars. After shopping, I came out to find a handwritten note beneath my wiper blade, telling me that I’m a ******* for not parking between the lines, etc., etc. I think those of us who park like this do it so others can admire our ‘ride.’ I’ll bet the owner of that Mustang got the same note.” It’s always a challenge to find a place to park when we drive a classic car. John’s letter reminded me of a phone call I made recently to a fellow recently in Florida to get the story of his 1940 Mercury convertible, which I had seen at a car show in Pennsylvania. No answer. I phoned again two hours later and he answered. He just got back from driving down to the local mall in his OTHER 1940 Mercury convertible. “You have two of them?” I asked. “Yes,” he said. “The one you saw was restored from four other cars, and the one I drove to the mall is a factory fresh original.” Where he parked I don’t know, but I suspect he picked a spot as safe as possible. 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 1953 Chrysler sedan parked close to diagonal ‘NO PARKING’ lines on driver’s side, giving extra room on DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STO- passenger side. RIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Francisco Giants, the National League titleists. The National Hockey League (NHL) campaign is just around the corner – a full season too this time – and locally all eyes are on the Ottawa Senators. Fans are anxious to see how the Sens will perform without longtime captain and talisman Daniel Alfredsson? Or at the very least Ottawa fans will be anticipating the club’s first meeting with the Detroit Red Wings, Alfie’s new team. That comes up Oct. 23 in the Motor City. The clubs are now in the same division and will face-off four times during the campaign. Despite the fact fans like me enjoy following their team(s) day-to-day throughout the various seasons it is difficult for most of us to relate to what athletes today are being paid. Only a tiny fraction of people ever achieve such riches! Salaries incredible Being paid so handsomely to play a game doesn’t compute for most of us. But clearly it does when the various leagues and their member teams consider the bottom line, which is making money. Because I’m a Tigers’ fan I will focus on them as one good example of massive player salaries. In 2008 slugger Miguel Cabrera inked what was then the richest contract in team history, an eight-year $153m pact. Certainly if anyone warrants that kind of money, Cabrera does. At age 30 he has quickly overtaken the biggest run producers in MLB history. Last year the Detroit third baseman won the “Triple Crown” which goes to a player who combines the highest batting average with the most home runs and the highest runs batted in total. His award was the first in 45 years. The previous Major Leaguer to achieve the rare honour was former Boston Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Canada’s Centennial Year. Not surprisingly, with two years left in his current deal, Tigers’ brass has already begun talks with the Venezuelan-born Cabrera about a

Striking it rich As the new European soccer season began a few weeks ago, Real Madrid completed the highest ever transfer deal in world football history. They

signed Welsh midfielder Gareth Bale from London side Tottenham Hotspur of the EPL for €100m ($140 million CDN). That is only the transfer fee paid to Tottenham! The Madrid soccer giants will also have to pay Bale a reported £256,000 per week ($404,000 CDN). Still, the highest earning soccer players don’t come close to the best paid athletes in North American sports, unless you include the endorsement deals for a select few such as former English star David Beckham and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo. The National Football League and National Basketball Association in the U.S. also pay massive money for their top stars. Of course the real beneficiary of the Bale to Madrid arrangement is Tottenham. Sure, they lose a player who won both top awards in the EPL last season. But fearing a Bale exit they signed seven new players in the off season for a combined £115m. The transfer money from Real Madrid basically covers their signing spree. Such is the world of professional sports! Oh yes, the 100 highest earning athletes in the world (according to Forbes Magazine) include 27 MLB players. Rodriguez at $32 million leads the baseball world. But he’s No. 18 on the overall list. Of the top 10 sports earners, five are Americans. Soccer’s Beckham ($47m) qualifies for the list despite announcing his retirement this past spring. He ranks eighth. The top five are led by golfer Tiger Woods ($78m), followed by tennis star Roger Federer ($71.5m), NBA stars Kobe Bryant ($61.9m) and LeBron James ($59.8m) with New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees ($51m) rounding out the select list. The top 100 play 11 different sports with baseball first (27). There are 21 NBA players on the chart, 13 NFLers and 12 soccer stars. A total of 23 countries are represented on the elite roll. Not surprisingly 63 Americans are among the top 100 sports wage earners. Clearly they won’t be holding a tag day for the recently embattled Mr. Woods based on these numbers. All things considered it still totally boggles the mind! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by Suzuki 750 email at: jeffrey. KingQuad maguire@rogers.

contract extension. Cabrera isn’t the highest paid player on the Detroit roster however. Far from it in fact! Power hitter Prince Fielder set a new team record in January 2012 when he inked a nine-year, $214m deal. Fielder, son of former Toronto Blue Jays’ slugger Cecil Fielder, has played well although his home run production has tailed off. The distinction of the largest contract for a pitcher in MLB history belongs to current Tigers’ ace Justin Verlander. He agreed (who wouldn’t?) to a seven-year, $180m contract prior to this season. Verlander, who won the prestigious Cy Young Award and the AL Most Valuable Player in 2011, has struggled somewhat this season however. Tigers’ management and fans feel he is so competitive that he may be over trying in an effort to live up to the hype. But despite being down in victories his overall pitching statistics remain among the best in the AL as this regular season wraps up. The long campaign ends Sunday with the playoffs starting the first week of October. I have not used the term “earned” to describe athletes’ pay. That’s because I don’t believe anyone can really earn such inflated salaries. Still, if there is any sport that can afford to pay such ridiculous amounts to its players, it is revenue rich Major League Baseball. Internet returns alone have boosted baseball earnings in North America to the highest mark in the history of the sport. On the global sports stage nothing can knock soccer – or football as it is called in most of the world – from the top rung. Soccer, which is often referred to as “the World Game”, is No. 1. But outside of a handful of teams led by Spain’s Real Madrid, Manchester United of the English Premier League (EPL) and Barcelona, also of the Spanish La Liga, most teams are struggling to keep their heads above water. That is mainly due to ridiculously inflated player salaries.

‘Central’ provided vital link with farm neighbours editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Lifestyle – It was a complete mystery to me. I never thought much about it before Uncle Lou, with his usual feeling of compassion for Mother, installed our first telephone out on the farm in Northcote. But once that beautiful oak contraption was hung on our wall in the kitchen, I was in complete awe of how someone not even in our house, knew when we wanted to talk to someone miles away, or they wanted to talk to us. That someone was right inside Briscoe’s General Store! She sat on a padded chair in front of a big board with holes in it, and long cords trapped in a desk-like affair in front of her. Usually, a light would come on, but sometimes a little bell would ring, and she would know exactly what to do with those cords and the holes in the board with the red lights flashing! Sometimes, Mr. Briscoe manned what was called the switchboard himself, but I have little memory of his voice coming into our oak phone on the kitchen wall. It was someone we simply called “Central”. The very first day we got the phone, will stay in my mind forever. Mother cried. Not from sadness, but from the sheer wonder of finally being able to talk to someone at will beyond the four walls of our old log house. That first night, we sat around the kitchen waiting for the phone to ring. There was no looking through Eaton’s catalogue that night, or whittling or playing cards at the pine table. Even Mother’s diaries never left the back-to-the-wall cupboard. We sat in a circle as if we were in a theatre. Only Father wasn’t that impressed. Finally, it came around to bedtime, and it looked very much like the

a blouse she’s making. She should be back in a couple hours...do you want me to ring you when she gets home?” Central was the lifeblood of the entire neighbourhood. If there was a fire, or any other emergency, somehow Central was able to ring all the farms at the same time, at least that seemed to be the case. Because everyone responded in jig time to give a helping hand where needed.

There’s

say someone else was trying to get the phone, and would you please hurry it up and free up the line!! It was different when Mr. Briscoe was answering a call. With him it was all business...no time for idle chatter with Mr. Briscoe! Mother always felt safer once we had the phone put in on the farm. Some of the isolation she felt when she first moved to Northcote was gone. It was my sister Audrey who noticed it. “It’s not exactly like New York,” Audrey said. “But for Mother it beats not being able to talk to another soul without getting out the horse and buggy or the old Model T.” Yes indeed. The new phone made a world of difference to our lives on the farm. And “Central”, I thought back then, was just about the most important person in Northcote. She was that vital link between isolation and connection with a neighbour.

YOUR AD

613.546.3607

Of course you didn’t need Central if you knew the ring of the person you were calling. You just pressed the little black button on the side of the telephone and twirled the handle on the other side, giving the number of rings to reach whomever you wanted to talk to. And it wasn’t unusual for Central to interrupt your call to tell you some important bit of news, or to

Store, was well acquainted with the rings of everyone for miles around. Having a phone was not without its problems. When it rang, it could be for any number of homes in Northcote! As many as four or even five other families shared the line! We soon found out you had to be extremely careful what you said on the phone, because, if they chose to listen in, everyone who took off their receiver were privileged to your conversation. And it wasn’t unusual to have your complete conversation repeated the next day at the General Store! It also wasn’t unusual to pick up the receiver and ask Central if she knew where Mrs. Hines was... her advice was needed. Central always knew where everyone was. Sometimes when Mother rang a neighbour, Central would come on and say, “Oh, she’s gone into Renfrew to Walkers...she needed some lace trim for

phone was not going to ring. It was Mother who decided, if no one was going to ‘call in’, then she would ‘call out’. She went to the beautiful new phone, which I thought was every bit as nice as the new oak ice box grandfather bought for us, and took the receiver off the hook, and pressed a little black button on the side of the box. “Could I please talk to Bertha Thom,” she said into the black mouthpiece. And there it was! There was Mother talking to Aunt Bertha! Just as if she was in another room, and not across the 20-acre field on the next farm. When the phone was put in that day, we were told our ring was ‘two longs and a short’. It didn’t take us long to know the rings of everyone else in Northcote. But it really didn’t matter if we knew the right rings or not, because “Central” as we called the switchboard at Briscoes General

Right now it’s best if you focus on more trivial matters and enjoy yourself.

Zombies and spiders and wolves… oh my! By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

Heritage Events - October has officially arrived, which means Halloween is right around the corner. Here in the Limestone City, it’s easy to get into the spirit of the season thanks to the good people at Fort Henry, who every year raise the dead for their popular Fort Fright event. This year, Fort Fright is expected to be scarier than ever thanks to the addition of new themed spaces in the dry ditch, the Fort’s recently acquired high tech projection system and live zombies who are hungry for the blood of innocent visitors. Some of the zombies are on roller skates, making them virtually impossible to escape on foot.

“Our theme is Fort Henry was hosting a roller derby event one evening when the zombies came to life and took over the Fort,” explains Fort Henry manager Will Baird. Before they arrive at the derby arena, however, guests must travel through, among other things, a graveyard, a spider colony, and an area Baird affectionately refers to as the “hillbilly hut”. (Think: redneck zombies jumping out at you from behind bales of hay.) Following hillbilly hut is a hay bale maze, where more scary creatures may or may not be lurking. Baird notes that there is no shortage of people who are eager to dress up in costumes and scare people. “We have about 15-20 scare actors a night, and then on top of that

we have a very robust volunteer program,” he says. “On any given weekend, you can expect 10-12 people that want to dress up and scare people.” The derby girls, for example, are volunteers from Kingston’s recreational roller derby club, the REC’n Rollers. “[The rest of the actors are] spread throughout the facility in different kinds of things,” Baird says. “In our hay bale maze, which is really popular, we’ve got a lot of people in those ghillie suits.” Others are found in the indoor portion of the Fort, where there is no shortage of dark corners to hide in and jump out from. There are also

many scary looking displays and animatronics, including enormous spiders and wolves that lunge at the feet of passersby. “The wolves are a feature prop at a lot of different attractions,” Baird says. “We were very lucky to get them in for this year.” The Fort Fright team has also made great use of the dry ditch and the huge wall that surrounds the Fort. “We have a whole series of lights that can light you up as you go around,” Baird says. “So you’ll have these huge shadows cast on the wall as you walk through.” Even Fort Henry’s restaurant, The

Battery Bistro, is getting into the spirit. “They have some catchy ways to marry the meal service to the theme of Halloween - walk the plank salmon, stuff like that,” Baird says. For a truly terrorizing experience, Baird recommends visiting on a weeknight. “We actually find that on the nights that aren’t as busy, the earlier weeknights, it’s more fun because you get to scare people better,” he says with a menacing laugh. Fort Fright is open Thursday to Saturday evenings Sept. 26 - Oct. 9, and nightly Oct. 24 – Nov. 2, 6 to 10 p.m.
