Closed Beer Store in Sydenham creates some consternation at Council despite presence of trailer By Craig Bakay Reporter

Good spot for a picnic Kingstonians Matthew MacDonald and Chayya In were visiting MacDonald’s folks in Weymss last weekend and decided to take the side-by-side out for a spin. After taking the trail to Sharbot Lake, they opted for a couple of subs and decided to eat their lunch at Sharbot Lake Railway Park. “It’s something to do,� said In. “Hitting the trail. There’s a lot of nice scenery�. Photo/Craig Bakay

News — For about a month now, the Beer Store in Sydenham has been closed, replaced by a trailer adjacent to the brick and mortar building. Not only does no one seem to know why, but the issue finally made its way to South Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The beer trailer in Sydenham was part of a CKWS TV story in September that speculated the hamlet may lose its outlet while Kingston would be getting an additional store. In that piece, a spokesperson for The Beer Store, Jeff Wilcox, said: “We’re evaluating all possibilities there. We put the primary emphasis on our customers and we want to make sure no one is left without accessibility to our product so, we’re evaluating different options right now. “The trailer is designed to provide product until a final determination is made.� Coun. Ross Sutherland was prepared to take up the cause and filed a motion to that effect, stating that the Township show its support and recognize the importance of The Beer Store staying in Sydenham as well as the convenience of keeping the outlet in the community for both social and economic reasons.

Sutherland’s motion went on to suggest inviting a representative from The Beer Store to attend a committee of the whole meeting or to discuss the matter with the Mayor and CAO. “Every good town needs a beer store,� said Sutherland. “We’ve lost two of our cafes and I think this could be a sign. “My understanding — and it’s just a rumour — is that they’d prefer to retain a presence in Sydenham. “I’d really like them to meet with our staff to see what problems they may be experiencing and what we might be able to do about them.� “Does anybody know if they’re planning to move it to the grocery store?� said Coun. Pat Barr, referencing the Ontario government’s recent decision to allow the sale of beer and wine in grocery stores and the adjacent Trousdale’s Foodland operation. “Nobody has a clear answer,� said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “But The Beer Store won’t return my calls. “The Sydenham store has to be one of the oldest rural beer store outlets around.� If the Sydenham beer store were to close, the closest outlets for Sydenham residents would be the liquor store next to the hardware store in Inverary, the liquor store next to Foodland in Verona or one of several Kingston outlets.

Tires for you maximum benefit and safety this coming winter! Now that fall is here and winter will be following close behind, many of our customers here at Kingston Dodge Chrysler will be asking, “should I buy winter tires? Aren’t my “all seasonâ€? tires okay for winter driving?â€? The answer is yes, your all-season tires are “okayâ€? for winter. But below 7 degrees Celsius the superior adhesion of winter tires begins to make a difference, even on dry winter URDGV :LWK WKHLU VSHFLĂ€FDOO\ IRUPXODWed rubber compounds, tread design, and increased sipes (grooves) winter tires reduce vehicle stopping distances by up to 25% over all-season tires - performance

that can make the difference between a close call and an accident. The second questions is, “should I by two winter tires or four?â€? To get the maximum EHQHĂ€W DQG VDIHW\ \RX VKRXOG DOZD\V buy four winter tires. You may also want to consider steel wheels for your winter tires – it saves the wear and tear of breaking down your rims and tires every season, and the money you save on tire changeovers will pay for the extra rims over time. When shopping different brands of winter tires, consider not only price, but quality and warranty. Higher priced winter tires can offer su-

perior technology and materials that help increase performance. During your tire changeover is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of a Seasonal Inspection to ensure your vehicle is in top working condition to face the extreme temperatures over the winter months. It is also recommended to have a wheel alignment done – it will help extend the life of your new tires and the suspension components of your vehicle.

Sharbot Lake hosts a pair of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston all-candidates meetings Reporter

News — Sharbot Lake was the host site for a pair of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding all-candidates debates last week, both at the Granite Ridge Education Centre. The first was an afternoon affair, an annual tradition for several years now, where the candidates squared off in front of an assembly of Grades 7-12, after being treated to lunch prepared by the restaurant training class. The second, held in the evening, was organized by the Retired Teachers Association. “This has been going on for several years now,” said Grade 12 student Sadie Clarke, one of 11 organizers on the committee that brought the candidates in for the afternoon session. “It’s become more like a tradition than a class exercise. “But, we feel like it’s our responsibility to the school and the community to host this. “I’m not old enough to vote yet but getting involved like this really encourages me.” The students have their own ‘mock election’ scheduled for Oct. 14. When the candidates took the stage, several students took turn asking questions. Many of the questions, understandably, re-

volved around issues that interest students really going into too much detail other than ence by working for municipalities.” such as “what will your party do to make to say they’d cap student loan paybacks at “I have four children, so making educapost-secondary education more afford- $10,000. tion affordable is right at the top of my list,” able,” “what is your party’s position on the “We will move towards free tuition for said Liberal candidate Phil Archambault. “I medical and recreational use of marijuana universities, community colleges and train- had to drop out my first time at university in our society,” and “what will your party ing programs and plan a ‘service corps’ that because of cost but eventually I went back do to increase employment.” would allow students to get some experi- to get an MBA.” But there were also questions on terrorism, the environment, and improving health care. As to making post-secondary education more affordable, the answers varied widely. “The Registered Education Savings Plan is the centerpiece of the Conservative plan,” said incumbent Scott Reid. “We will double the federal matching contribution for lower and middle income families.” “We will reduce debt for student loans,” said Green Party candidate From left: Conservative Scott Reid, Green Party candidate Anita Payne, Liberal Phil ArPhoto/Craig Bakay Anita Payne, without chambault and NDPer John Fenik.

“I have three daughters and it’s absolutely unfair for anybody in this room not to have the option to go to college or university,” said NDP candidate John Fenik. “We’ll make more money available for grants and no-interest loans for borrowing.” TICO#50007364

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, October 15, 2015 3

South Frontenac stops short of ‘never’ supporting any more Canadian Solar projects last week in Sydenham, but judging from the debate, it’s unlikely the two companies will be welcomed with open arms any time in the near future either. The motion, tendered by Coun. Ron Sleeth read: “Whereas Canadian Solar and Suncor decided to pro-

ings. More important, however, were allegations that came out at a Council meeting accusing Canadian Solar representatives of being heavy handed in their dealings with neighbours, even to the point of suggesting that the neighbours’ requests for things like berms and fences wouldn’t be looked upon favourably unless they supported the project. Although Council declined to support the project, Canadian Solar did submit a proposal to the IESO. In his report to Council, CAO/ Clerk Wayne Orr said: “The did however reduce the size of the project substantially in application. “Instead of the original 13MW, they only bid for 7MW, with the hope that if awarded a contract they would be able to further alleviate opposition by either creating even bigger setbacks on both properties, or even bigger setbacks on both properties, or even perhaps drop one of the two properties and reduce the amount of people near the project.� Orr also said they (Canadian Solar) acknowledged that the opposition to this project was greater than they expected.

Other than Sleeth, most councilors felt such a motion might be a bit much and perhaps even lead to litigation. “I think it’s probably a little difficult to never say never in this situation,� said Coun. Alan Revill. “Their timing and the way they dealt with the public was reprehensible (but) it might be better to send a letter directly to them.� “It’s obvious an attempt to threaten was the kind of treatment people received right from the very first meeting,� said Sleeth. “It’s not only the behaviour of that particular company but also some of the developers with their projects running roughshod over Council and their neighbours.� “I think this Council was unequivocally clear to the company,� said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “But they chose to go ahead anyways. “Still, I can’t support this as is.� Only Sleeth voted in favour of the motion but Council instructed staff to draft a letter to both companies with a copy to IESO expressing its displeasure with the way the application was handled.

Lane named to commemorate First World War battle By Craig Bakay Reporter

News — A previously unnamed private lane in Bedford District will commemorate a historical First World War battle in which many Canadians participated and died, South Frontenac Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The road will henceforth be known as “Passchendaele Lane.” “We recently passed a list of pre-approved names and this isn’t on it,” said Planner/Dep. Clerk Lindsay Mills. “But there really isn’t anything in the bylaw to prevent anyone from coming along and suggesting their own name. “There will be no cost to the Township even though it’s not on the list.” The lane provides access to six waterfront residential lots on Bob’s Lake and is accessed from Barr Lane, which in turn is accessed from Green Bay Road. It is Township policy that, once there are at least four properties accessed by a private lane, that lane should be named and each lot given its own address on the newly named lane to help ensure clarity in assigning addresses and for emergency responders. Even though Mills indicated this name wouldn’t result in any additional costs to the Township, it probably prompted Coun. Alan Revill’s notice of motion to amend the road naming bylaw to include a cost recovery provision if the name is not on the Township’s approved list. The Battle of Passchendaele, also known as

FREE YOURSELF…

the Third Battle of Ypres, was fought between the Allies and German forces from July to November 1917 for control of the ridges to the south and east of the Belgian city of Ypres in West Flanders. There were 15,654 Canadian casualties in the battle. ••• Council waved its prohibition against delegations at Council meetings (delegations are supposed to address committee of the whole meetings) last week in Sydenham to accommodate Frontenac County Clerk Jannette Amini’s report on the Accessibility Awareness Campaign after 10 years in existence. Council also waved the 10minute time limit but Amini was quite succinct in her presentation and didn’t require the entire time allotment. Amini told Council the County has several resources available to be at the Township’s disposal but added: “I’m not sure how much more South Frontenac can do because you’ve already done such a good job — you even have a web page dedicated to accessibility.” “The ability building code is fine but there are some subtle things like the placement of light switches we may need to work on,” said Dep. Mayor John McDougall. ••• When Coun. Ron Sleeth asked about the status of a grant application, he was told by both the mayor and CAO that they were assuming the Township wasn’t successful. “I could follow up to get a formal rejection letter if you’d like,” said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr.

OUT STANDING IN OUR FIELD

Refugees then and now: We must do better By Aric McBay Columnist

Column - My ancestors moved to Canada from Ireland in 1851, the sixth year of the Irish Potato Famine. The specifics of why they moved have been lost, but the year tells enough. By the time my ancestors settled in Canada, Ireland had lost a quarter of its population: one million people had fled in overcrowded boats, and another million at home had died of starvation and disease. Given that almost five million people in Canada have some Irish ancestry, it’s remarkable how little we remember about the details of this calamity. Yes, it was triggered by a potato disease that ruined harvests. But the stage was set by British policy. For generations, Irish people had been pushed off the best land, forced to pay enormous rents on their own farms, and reduced to dependence on a single crop, the potato, for survival. With Irish people robbed of their resilience by British colonial policy, a famine was almost inevitable. And even as people starved by the thousand, Ireland was forced to continue exporting food to Britain. Mass starvation was no accident. The current refugee disaster in the Middle East is not an accident either. The civil war in Syria began after an extreme drought and crop failure that has been blamed, in part, on global warming. (Which means some of the responsibility is ours: with the expansion of the tar sands, and Harper’s abysmal environment policy, Canada has become one of the world’s major climate change culprits.) But the roots of the current disaster are even deeper. During the First World War, European powers divided the resource-rich Middle East amongst themselves, drawing arbitrary new borders through existing peoples. (The first of these plans, the Sykes-Picot Agreement, was prepared in secret but later leaked by the Guardian newspaper.) These new borders were designed to create ethnic tensions and to divide peoples against each other. British and French colonialists intentionally created modern Syria and Iraq so they could prop up warlords who didn’t have majority backing. Dictators who would

need foreign backing and violence to stay in power in exchange gave up oil and other resources to Europe. Those 20th century colonial powers wanted their puppet regimes to be fragile, so that without perpetual military support the countries they were setting up would fall apart into bloody civil wars. Well, they finally got what they wanted. Through similar arrangements of colonial pillage the European powers and their inheritors, like Canada and United States, grew wealthier as the colonies grew poorer. Those of us in the wealthier parts of the world have mostly forgotten this history, just as we’ve forgotten the history of the potato famine. But its effects, such as deep global inequality, endure. The millions of refugees fleeing Syria for Europe and elsewhere are, in some sense, merely following wealth that was siphoned away from them over the last century. It’s not 1920 anymore; it’s not 1851. Canada has inherited the wealth of the colonial powers, but we don’t have to inherit their mentality. We don’t have to inherit their greed, their selfishness, or their racism. We can do better. In the aftermath of the Irish Potato Famine, tens of thousands of Irish refugees landed at Kingston, in a time when the city (amongst the largest in Ontario) had a population of less than 12,000. All in all, more than 100,000 Irish refugees settled in British Workers smoothed out the shoulder areas on the new section of Road 38 where the old North America. Photo/Craig Bakay And yet, this year Canada has accepted only a bridge was last weekend in preparation for new grass. thousand Syrian refugees into a country of 35 million people. And only about 200 of those have been government-supported (with the rest privately sponsored). This should be a source of great shame for all of us. We have resources that people in the 1850s couldn’t even dream of, resources that would make it easy for us to accept and accommodate far more refugees. And we should demand that whatever federal government forms this fall does exactly that. We can do better. We must do better. You can learn more about the refugee crisis and actions to take in Canada at refugeeswelcome.ca.

EDITORIAL Monday is Election Day. Get out there and vote all you young (and old) people Gazette Column — This coming Monday (Oct. 19) is Election Day. Get out and vote. Your choices are incumbent Conservative Scott Reid, Liberal Phil Archambault, NDP John Fenik or Green Anita Payne. By now, you should have gotten your Voter Information Card in the mail which will tell you where you should go to vote. If you haven’t yet received one, go online to elections.ca or call 1-800-463-6868. Personally, I’m one of those people who earnestly believes that if you don’t vote, you give up your right to bitch about the government. I know it’s become trendy to poo-poo that philosophy but nobody’s ever accused me of being trendy. It’s no secret that a lot of younger voters don’t exercise their right to vote. Nobody’s ever come up with a

credible theory as to why that is but here’s one — you lazy little wieners need to get off the couch and do it. I had this discussion after one of the debates with Liberal candidate Phil Archambault last week and he didn’t have the answer either as to why younger people don’t seem to vote either, nor did Conservative Scott Reid. Actually, the conversation began about me working for Conservative Premier Bill Davis (still the best boss I ever had) for a time. I felt obligated to point out that the first time I was eligible to vote, I voted Liberal. Actually, it was because my father and godfather, both died-in-thewool Conservative back-room boys, were ticked off at the local Conservative candidate and encouraged me to vote against him. They didn’t vote for him either and in those days, as I remember it, you only had two choices. (The Conservative still got in by the way but Pierre Trudeau won a majority government.) Still, regardless of whom you support, you really should vote. It’s not a duty or obligation or anything. No-

makers approved a motion to remove the words “mother� and “father� from all government forms in order to “reflect the diverse nature� of families in the province� and to “better recognize the rights of LGBTQ parents�, in the words of MPP Glenn Thibeault, who brought the motion forward. How many people in Ontario – for that matter, how many people in the world, including LGBTQ people,

body can make you go out and vote. Hell, you can even go mark an X for each candidate or just put one giant X across the entire ballot if you want to. The powers that be keep track of these things too (it’s called a spoiled ballot) and it’s your right to spoil your ballot if you want to. For those who claim their vote’s don’t matter, I say pfffft! It wasn’t that long ago when Jeff Matson beat Logan Murray by a single vote for Kennebec representative in the municipal election (a subsequent recount showed Matson actually won by four votes but let’s not quibble). It is however a simple fact of the matter that the number of votes (and the margin of victory) a candidate gets means something. If your candidate gets an overwhelming mandate, chances are they will hold more sway in caucus on Parliament Hill and that’s almost always a good thing for a local constituency. On the other hand, if they squeak through by the skin of their teeth, that can have a tendency to smarten them up a tad. So get out there and make an X.

they know them or not? How many of the children of LGBTQ parents have a mother and a father, whether they know them or not? I believe the answer is – every person on the planet has a mother and a father. So why do those words now have to be removed Ontario Vice President &from Regional Publishergovernment Mike Mount forms? mmount@perfprint.ca

8 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, October 15, 2015

In Our Opinion

Get informed, then have your say

Editorial - Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 12 weeks, you are likely aware that a federal election is being held in Canada on Oct. 19. In the last election held in our area – the 2014 municipal election – voter turnout in the City of Kingston was an abysmal 39.5 per cent – up only 2.8 per cent from the 2010 election. In the last federal election, held in 2011, voter turnout hovered just below 65 per cent for both Kingston and the Islands and Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addingtion; that put both ridings slightly above the national and provincial averages, but we can still do better. For the 13 federal elections between 1957 and 1992, voter turnout in Canada ranged between 74.1 and 79.2 per cent. The recent Vital Signs report put out by the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area found that the decreasing rate of voter participation is closely linked to the lack of participation by young eligible voters, and suggested that improvement will be tied to getting young people out to vote. Thus we say to young people: the future belongs to you, and it will be shaped to a large degree by the political direction we decide for our country today. Think about what sort of Canada you want to live in, and vote for the candidate or party who best represents that vision. Disliking all the parties is not a good excuse for not voting; some will inevitably reflect your values more than others. The Kingston Heritage and Frontenac Gazette have done our best to ensure that information about local candidates and the parties they represent is readily available to readers. Our papers serve three ridings (Kingston and the Islands, Lanark-FrontenacKingston and Hastings-Lennox and Addington) and all candidates have been profiled and given the opportunity to say what they stand for in their own words through our questionnaire, published Oct. 8. We’ve also reported on quite a few all candidates meetings so that those who were unable to make it could be aware of the highlights. All of these profiles and stories are available on KingstonRegion.com. You can get voting out of the way with early at advance polls, which are open Oct. 9 – 12. For more information on these, visit www.elections.ca or check your voter information card. Otherwise, we’ll see you at the polls Oct. 19. Please take the time to educate yourself, then have your say.

How will Progressives vote in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston? This new riding now has a lot of progressive voters in its north-of-401 Kingston portion.

Lapidary club polishes up for annual gem and mineral show Reporter

Anyone who has ever picked up a rounded pebble, a curiously shaped rock or sparkling gem and handled it with wonder, knows the urge to collect - to examine and enjoy later. What is it? How was it made? Is it valuable? Can I create something from it? Unearth these nuggets of information and more at Gem Storm, the 46th annual gem and mineral show,

hosted by the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club (KLMC) at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17-18 Organizers say this year’s offering should make for one of the best gem and mineral shows ever. In addition to thousands of colourful rocks, minerals and fossils, many club members and exhibitors will be showing and selling unique jewelry pieces. “We will have over 33 dealers from Ontario and Quebec, many

of them KLMC members, selling an excellent selection of crystals, minerals, one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces, facetted stones, fossils, or unique carvings,â€? explains Eileen Moss, club vice-president. “This year Gem Storm has all of your favourite vendors back. The show features unique and beautiful creations made by nature and assisted by man. It’s a great once-a-year opportunity to buy those Christmas or special occasion gifts.â€? â€œThe popular children’s mine stocked with lots of great specimens ready for collecting by young rock hounds will also be back,â€? adds Moss, whose love of the hobby began decades ago. It all started for Moss and her husband Les in 1984 during a vacation to western Canada. “We stopped at the amethyst mine near Thunder Bay and found this beautiful purple mineral and that started it,â€? explains Moss. â€œWe discovered there was a club near the mine and visited with them for a bit, and that was it. We were hooked on these wonderful treasures coming from the Earth.â€? The couple have been enjoying the hobby for over 29 years. “We went to our first show when it was at the Tett building,â€? says Moss. “The shop was open and Cliff Walker was demonstrating the art and skill of lapidary. We were instantly hooked and the rest is history.â€? It’s obvious they have a love for the hobby. “It’s all about the joy of creation,â€? says Moss. “I get satisfaction from taking a rough rock and turning it into a fabulous piece of jewelry, all the while learning about the wonders of the earth. Lapidary work is very soothing and relaxing.â€? The club promotes and encourages the growth of all phases of lapidary work, mineral and fossil

collecting. It had its modest beginning more than half a decade ago in a home basement in 1962. It was in February of that year that two dozen rock and mineral enthusiasts gathered for the fist time with the hopes of starting up a club. The group bounced around to several locations over the years before settling on the Tett Centre in 1976. Since those early days, membership has grown and they have called the J.K. Tett Centre home for close to 30 years – with a temporary relocation beginning in 2009 when the to the former town hall and St. John’s building in Portsmouth during the Tett Centre rejuvenation. With the completion of the new Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning, members were able to come home to a shinny new state-of-theart workshop in December 2014. “The Tett has been our home for many years,â€? says Moss. â€œReturning to this modern and functional building dedicated to culture and the arts was a joy. “Our new home at the Tett is excellent.â€? The new large, well-lit, rooms are a pleasure to work in. For the first time, club members were able to design their own space. Working closely with the City and contractors they were able to create a more functional workshop, with plenty of user friendly space and lots of accessible storage. “This removes

the clutter factor of our previous workshops,â€? adds Moss. “We divided our space into a silversmithing area and a lapidary area, with a large central storeroom for easy access to all our equipment and supplies.â€? “It’s quite different compared to the space at the Tett before renovations,â€? she explains. “It was a great spot, but I always felt you where in the basement, although you were on the main floor. We are actually on the same floor as previously, just a bit more towards the lake. I love this floor with the high ceilings and large windows. When the city designed the Tett, they replaced the dividing wall with a partial glass wall. This allows light from both sides of the building to enter our studio and allows visitors to the building to see inside each studio.â€? These days, the club numbers some 200 adult and family memberships, ranging from one to 85 years old. It is very family oriented with lots to do for all age groups. Their junior program, for ages 8-12, encourages youngsters to learn about rocks, minerals and crystals in a hands-on approach. Family oriented field trips are held from May through October to collect minerals and crystals from a variety of locales.

“At our shop we offer a number of courses including lapidary (the art of cutting and shaping stones) and silver smithing,” adds Moss. “All tools and equipment are provided and is open to all ages 11 years and older. As we are a non profit club we offer a wide variety of courses at a very modest price. Our instructors are club members and valued volunteers.” Members, both old and young, enjoy talking about their hobby and sharing this interest with everyone during Gem Storm. Show organizers say this will be a very family oriented show and have attempted to represent every aspect of the hobby in the dealer selection featuring many lapidary related items, great minerals, gemstones, beads, carvings, paintings, jewelry, fossils and crystals. “Everyone who finds out about and goes to Gem Storm loves Gem Storm,” adds Moss. “To see it, is to fall in love with it. It’s nature at its best. It has something for everyone. But, it’s perhaps the size of the show and display areas which amazes new visitors to the show most.”

Gem Storm runs from 10 a.m.- 6 p.m., Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday. Admission is $3 per person, children under 12 free when accompanied by a

Community Foundation focuses on food security, early years and community engagement in annual Vital Signs report By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Creating a smart and caring community – that is the goal of

the annual Community Foundation for Kingston and Area (CFKA) ‘Vital Signs’ report. Now in its seventh year, the report aims to take the ‘pulse’ of the community and com-

pare how it is doing in relation to other communities nationally. “We look at areas we are doing well in and areas that we need to improve on,” explained Tina Bailey, executive director for CFKA. “This year we chose to focus on three areas: getting started in the community, food security and

community engagement. Reports in the past have shown that these are areas that we need to pay more attention to.” The data collected and the suggestions for moving forward on these three issues were presented on Oct. 6 at the Residence Inn. Community members were invited to learn more about the results and listen to presentations about the three main areas of focus for the year.

Dr. Magdalena Janus of the Offord Centre for Child Studies and an associate professor, psychiatry and behavioural neurosciences at McMaster University, spoke about the importance of early childhood development or the ‘getting started’ component and emphasized the need for proper research, tracking and positive efforts when it comes to childhood development.

“The key message is that an effort in the early years can have long-lasting positive outcomes,” said Janus. “Child

development really encompasses all of these things we are discussing like community engagement, healthy nutrition and healthy lives and development and it is so important to our communi-

ties as a whole.” Building off of Janus’ thoughts, Mara Shaw, executive director of Loving Spoonful in Kingston, emphasized the need for more help when it comes

ton area do to help and improve on these three major areas? “People can grow more crops in their vegetable garden and give the surplus to Loving Spoonful, or they can take their kids to the library for a literacy program, or they can help other families with reading to their kids,” suggested Bell. “All of this contributes to a smarter and more caring community and that is really our goal.” Bell also added that people can get out and vote on Oct. 19. As with last year’s report, this year’s urges citizens – especially young voters – to get out and vote in the upcoming election. Almost 40 per cent of eligible voters nationally, provincially and locally consistently do not exercise their vote in Federal elections. To help increase rates in the upcoming Oct. 19 federal election, CFKA is challenging active voters to ‘buddy with a young voter’ and help them check if they are on the voter list, inform themselves about the candidates and issues, and go and vote together. “We are really a-political at CFKA, but we want people to vote,” said Bell. “I don’t care who you vote for just get out there and do it.” For more information about this year’s Vital Signs report visit www. cfka.org or look for CFKA on Facebook and Twitter.

to food security. Shaw referenced the fact that 15 per cent of the population in Kingston or over 20,000 people are currently living the poverty line and that is not including residents in Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. “There are a lot of people working minimum wage jobs and people can’t get enough hours to put food on the table,” said Shaw. “Precarious employment and social assistance rates not being high enough and physical and mental health issues all contribute to this lack of food security. We can’t be judgemental on this, we need to find solutions.” Along with these two important topics, Michael Bell, CFKA President and Vital Signs 2015 Project Leader also pointed out that the third goal of this year’s report, community engagement, is more than just interacting with others, it is also about recognizing other members of the community. “We want to try to establish some visibility for the first people in Kingston,” said Bell. “The truth and reconciliation report came out in the spring and it seemed to be a good thing to focus on and provide visibility for a group of people in town that may not receive that much attention and really create more of a community with them.” So what can residents in the Kings-

Factors to consider before selling your home

may not be worth the sacrifices you have to make in order to earn that money. Studies have shown that longer commutes can elevate stress levels, and even the most

affordable property may not be worth moving to if you won’t be able to enjoy the home with your friends and family. When deciding whether or not to

sell their homes, many homeowners make the decision a strictly financial one. But there is more than money to consider when deciding if now is the right time to sell your home.

nificant investment, and you want to earn as substantial a return on that investment as possible. Selling when the market is struggling will make your investment less valuable. Research recently sold homes in your neighborhood to get an idea of how much you can expect to get if you sold your home in the current market. It might be worth it to sell now, or it might pay off to be patient and wait until the market rebounds. • Kids: Selling your home will impact your family just like it will impact your bottom line. Unless you plan to move down the street or to another home in your community, selling may mean you and your family no longer see your friends and neighbors. That can be a difficult adjustment, especially for school-aged kids who will have to adjust to a new school. The potentially negative impact that selling can have on your children may not be worth the financial benefits of selling, so the decision of whether or not to sell should not be taken lightly by homeowners who also happen to be parents. • Quality of life: It can be difficult to turn down an opportunity to make a lot of money on your real estate investment. But if you plan to sell and move further away from your office and your friends and family, the financial windfall you earn when selling your home

R001

Selling a home is no small undertaking. It often pays to be patient when putting a property up for sale, but waiting for an acceptable offer can be stressful, especially for those homeowners who have already found their next homes. Because so much tends to be riding on the decision of whether or not to sell a home, homeowners would be wise to consider the following factors before putting that “For Sale” sign in their front yards. • Motivation: Many homeowners sell their homes because their families are growing and they have outgrown their current residences. Others may recognize a seller’s real estate market and want to strike while the iron is hot, while still others might be moving for a new job. The factors that motivate homeowners to sell their homes vary with each individual case, but prospective sellers should keep in mind that moving can be expensive, and finding a new home may not be so easy, nor is the grass necessarily greener on the other side. When deciding if now is the best time to sell your home, make sure you will be selling for the right reason. That can make the often trying process of selling a home a lot easier to handle. • Market: The local real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to sell your home. A home is a sig-

L-F-K Libertarian candidate hopes for a better future in Canada mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Mark Budd has never thought of himself as political, but in recent years he has found himself caring about the future of his country more and more. “The current government wants to attack any group that gets in the way of their agenda and that really bothers me,” said Budd, who lives in Carleton Place with his family. “In my view they are undermining democracy in Canada and the necessary checks and balances in place within the government and all of this prompted me to get more involved.” Budd has always voted for rightwing parties in past elections, but when he looked at the candidates in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston this time around he saw no real option. “For a long time I have really valued personal freedom and non-interference in people’s affairs including my own and non-interference by the government and I learned that these views align well with the Libertarian Party of Canada,” he said. “So I decided to join the party and become the candidate in this riding. I wanted to give people more choice.” Budd believes in a society where the government steps back and lets businesses and people grow on their own. “All ridings in Canada would do well in that model. Businesses would be more motivated to start, individuals would have more control over their lives and that would be of value to Canadians.”

Initially, going into the campaign, Budd hoped to be a more passive candidate, but as the campaign has gone on he finds himself getting more and more involved and even hitting the streets. “It is difficult because the Libertarian party is new in this region and I am doing everything myself,” he said.

“But I really want people to know that I am out here and that there is another option on the ballot.” Budd hopes that people who have become disillusioned with the current government and the other parties choose to support something new this time around. “People may view that as a wasted

vote, but what it does do is it allows people to express their opinion in some small way,” he said. “Even though we have little chance of winning I think it is important that people have the option to express their real opinion.” Budd hopes that as things progress more parties like the Libertarians will emerge and that Canada can slowly

move towards becoming a more hands off country. “We all need to keep pushing for the type of government that we really want to see in the future and this is my way of doing that.” For more information about the Libertarian Party visit www.libertarian.ca

Turkey hash a great brunch or dinner idea This hash is a great brunch idea. The eggs also make it a pleasing last-minute dinner. Serve hash with hot sauce if you like lots of heat. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 1-1/2 hours Serves: six to eight Ingredients • 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil • 1/4 cup (50 mL) minced fresh parsley • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder • Salt and pepper • 1 whole turkey breast (about 5 lb/2

kg), bone in, skin on and trimmed of fat Hash: • 5 red potatoes, cubed, about 1 lb (16 oz) or 2 cups (500 mL) leftover potatoes • 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter • 1 onion, chopped • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 hot pepper, seeded and minced • 1 each sweet red and yellow pepper, chopped • 10 Ontario eggs • 1/4 cup (50 mL) milk or whipping cream • Salt and pepper • 16 corn tostadas • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded

cheddar cheese • Minced fresh parsley

Preparation instructions In bowl, mix together oil, parsley, garlic, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Pat turkey dry with paper towel; rub mixture under skin and on both sides of breast to evenly distribute. Place skin side up, on greased rack in large roasting pan. Roast turkey in 425º F (220ºC) oven for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF (180ºC); cook until thickest part of breast registers 160ºF (70ºC) on instant read thermometer, about 1 hour. Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes. Remove skin and meat

from bone and slice. Set aside. (Makeahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to two days.) Hash: Meanwhile, in saucepan, cover potatoes with enough water to cover by 1-inch (2.5 cm); bring to boil. Salt water and reduce heat to medium; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and let cool. In large skillet, heat half of the butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and hot pepper; cook, about three minutes. Add red and yellow peppers; cook until vegetables are tender and slightly golden, about four minutes. Add potatoes; cook until warmed through, about four minutes. Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. In large

non-stick skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add egg mixture; cook until no liquid remains, about four minutes. For each serving, put two tostadas on plate; top each with 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped turkey, 1/2 cup (125 mL) potato mixture and follow with eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Celebrating life while honouring the past colourful skulls (typically made from sugar or clay), butterflies, bright flowers, and things or food that a deceased loved one was fond of. “Sometimes a person might leave something like a guitar that belonged to their loved one. After the event they can take it back home. Whatever is left behind after, we’ll make an altar in the Creativity Studios. There will be a part for pets as well.” She added that they hope to have representation from variety of grief and bereavement services and other groups. Rivera Belsham said that in our culture we shy away from the concept of death. After a person dies, we are expected to get over the death quickly. But grieving takes a long time, and, without allowing ourselves to fully experience the loss, we have difficulty living a full life. Dia de los Muertos is about accepting the loss and honoring those who have gone before us. “The festival relates to everyone,”

said Rivera Belsham. “It really is about a celebration of life with music, dance, food and decorations. This is an opportunity for young and old to come together to bring lightness to the shared reality of mortality, honouring those we’ve lost, recognizing their contribution to our lives, and celebrating the lives we continue to live today. ” She explained that she wants the event to be accessible to everyone so, instead of a set admission fee, there will be a pay-what-you-can charge. The November 1 program, the first in Kingston, will be held in the Malting Tower of the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning at 370 King Street West. Yessica thinks it’s the perfect setting. “The festival felt homeless for a while,” she said. “But now we have the Tett Centre, which is so beautiful. We’ll be right there by the water. And I’m passionate about local musicians, so we’ll be highlighting them

all day.” Entertainment at the Kingston festival will include music by Son Latino, a traditional Latin group that calls Kingston home. Los Paisanos, a Mariachi band from Ottawa, will perform. There’s also be a samba band, as well as John Torres. “John is from El Salvador,” said River Belsham. “For him, it’s all about collaboration. It’s wonderful all the things he does.” Participants and visitors are welcome to dress in colorful clothing and decorate themselves with face paint. “The decorating is about celebrating life, but it’s not just about dressing up. It’s about expressions of love, connecting and honouring loved ones of the past. We are creating a safe space where we can celebrate, and where it’s okay to express emotions.”

Dia de los Muertos—the day of the dead—will soon be upon us. Quetzalcoatl Kingston, an Aztec cultural group, is bringing the traditional Hispanic celebration to Kingston on November 1, when you can take part in this first annual community celebration of life and death. It’s a familyfriendly event that will feature a day full of activities and crafts, live music and authentic Mexican food. “My roots are Mexican,” said Yessica Rivera Belsham, an artist, drummer and nursing student, who founded Quetzalcoatl Kingston. “Growing up, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead Festival) is something I’ve witnessed in my immediate family and something they do in Mexico on November 1 and 2.” The Dia de los Muertos festival originated in Mexico in Pre-Hispanic times. With its roots in the ancient Aztec world, the festival spread throughout Latin cultures, and you’ll find celebrations throughout North and South America, as well as in some European countries. “It has nothing to do with Halloween, nor zombies,” said Rivera Belsham. She shook her head and laughed. “You wouldn’t believe some of the misconceptions. Dia de los

Muertos is about honouring our loved ones who have passed, and expressing ourselves through art, and celebrating with wonderful food and music.” She explained that the festival is about a community coming together. “A common thing is the altar,” she said. “You’ll find them everywhere in Hispanic cultures. It’s about honouring people who have passed from this life. You’ll have people put flowers and photos of people and reminders of things they liked to do. There’s lots of music and then, at certain times, silence.” In the common area of sacred space, the altar, visitors can place mementos like a photo or flowers to honour a loved one who has passed away. “There will be opportunity for anyone to add to the community altar, or organizations can create their own for display at the event,” said Rivera Belsham. Altars commonly include candles,

Celebrating life while honouring the past Continued from page 25

She said that it’s not just a drop-in event. “People will do more than just look around and then leave,â€? she said. “It’s not only music and food. There will be lots of activities throughout the day. The music will run all day, but there will also be workshops like worry doll-making. We are going to have piĂąatas for children and adults.â€? Food will be catered by Mexico Linda restaurant.

You’ll have an opportunity to witness dancers from the Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project get into the spirit of the festival. Around 7 p.m., ballerinas will enter through a wall of fog and emerge in full white ballet gear, including tutus. To honor those who have gone before, dancers will be carrying photos of ballerinas and male ballet dancers who have passed from this life. They will place the images in the sacred space that is created for the event. One of the dancers in the performance art project will be preparing the balleri-

nas faces with paint to reflect their respect for the festival. The day will end with the community drum circle and community singing. This event is entirely self-funded by Quetzalcoatl Kingston and they are hoping for some corporate or organizational sponsorships to cover the costs of space rental, decorating supplies and entertainment. “We want this to be a really meaningful event,� said Rivera Belsham. “We want to honor our traditions and strengthen the connection between

Canada and Mexico. Like the migration of butterflies, this will be a celebration, but life is fragile. I hope this connects with people who may be struggling, and they feel welcome to grieve amidst a big celebration. We want people to know you can express feelings in a healthy way. They will be coming to express and to celebrate.� Above all, Rivera Belsham wants to share Mexican culture. “If people have gone to Mexico or if they’ve heard of Dia de los Muertos and want to experience the tradi-

tional festival for real, this will be an opportunity to do that.� On the following day, there will be a much quieter celebration. On Monday, November 2, there will be a meditation at Janati Yoga School to honor those who have passed away.

WIGGANS, Frances Geraldine (nee Wark) August 10, 1927 – September 27, 2015 It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Geraldine. She left us at the age of 88 to join her husband Ed, her parents and her 9 siblings including the late Thomas Wark (former Police Chief of Renfrew) in eternal life. Born and raised in Renfrew, Ontario, Geraldine met Ed in Kingston through her brother John and they married in 1948 and moved out west to BC and then on to Guyana, Quebec, Ontario, California, Australia, Ontario and finally returning to BC in 1997 – 25 homes in 60 years! Ed and Geraldine spent their retirement years managing a heritage Inn in Kingston, Ontario; renovating their homes and travelling through the US in an RV. Geraldine spent her final years in Tsawwassen and Qualicum Beach volunteering at Senior Centers’ and her Church. She loved to read, play bridge, organize bridge luncheons and spend time with Family. She leaves behind 5 children, 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren with another on the way! All she ever wanted to be was a mother and her family is a beautiful reflection of her caring heart. Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God chose for me I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left you all. Geraldine will be laid to rest with Ed at St. Mark’s Church, Qualicum Beach on May 1st, 2016 – to commemorate their 68th wedding anniversary. A celebration of life will be held around that time. We are forever grateful to Dr. Peter Haslett, Dr. Hector Baillie and the staff of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for their care of Geraldine over the last few years. If you wish, donations can be made in Geraldine’s name to Qualicum Cat Rescue, the Salvation Army or St. Mark’s Church, Qualicum.

Mystery car identified as a 1904 Buick touring A photograph arrived from John W. Allen who wrote: “Bill, I’ve

lived in this house at 180 Moffat St., Carleton Place, Ontario, for 40 years and have been unable to ascertain the make/model/year of the car in the picture. The driver is David Findlay Sr. and the year c. 1916. Can you help?”

At first, I thought it was a 1904 Model B Ford, but the shape of the hood did not match. Then I suddenly remembered seeing a 1904 or ’05 Buick in the garage of the late Ron Fawcett of Whitby, Ontario, who restored vintage cars for many

centrally mounted under the floor for maximum stability. These cars were right-hand-drive so the driver could keep a close eye on the ditch, and many motorists in 1904 were just learning how to drive. Not until the fall of 1908 did the steering wheel move to the left when Henry Ford launched his famous Model T. Ford planned on building millions of cars and believed that the oncoming traffic would become a greater hazard than the ditch. The year 1908 also saw the birth of General Motors thanks to flamboyant entrepreneur Billy Durant. The Buick Motor Company was added to GM that same year, and became an important cornerstone of the new company. I’m always looking for more stories.

decades. I typed in “1904 Buick” on Google and up popped pictures identical to the car parked in front of the house in the photo from John W. Allen. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, “the first Buick made for sale, the 1904 Model B, was built in Flint, Michigan. There were 37 Buicks made that year, none of which survive. There are, however, two replicas in existence: the1904 endurance car at the Buick Gallery and Research Center in Flint, and a Model B assembled by an enthusiast in California for the Buick Division’s 100th anniversary. Both of these vehicles use various parts from Buicks of that era, as well as fabricated parts. These vehicles were each constructed with the two known surviving 1904 engines.” Unlike the Model B, the 1905 Model C Buick had large brass headlights. The car in the photo has no headlights. Cars back then were so new that no one at first felt the need for headlights. And with the dirt roads littered with horseshoe nails, would you be willing to risk getting a flat tire after dark? The car in the photo also has no windshield, no top, no bumpers, and no front doors. The 1904 Buicks had a flat twincylinder overhead-valve engine

Hathaway, De Niro shine in funny, touching film

By: Mark Haskins My Take

Films like The Intern are like good comfort food. They’re soft and warm. They’re great to share with someone, and in the end they leave you with that good warm feeling. Ben (Robert De Niro) is a 70year-old widower. He’s a retiree that has run out of things to do. He wants and he needs something meaningful to keep him busy. Then one day he sees a flier for an internet company looking for senior interns. Apparently it’s the latest thing. Why have a young intern who doesn’t know anything when you can get a senior with a wealth of life experience? Actually that makes a lot of sense. Ben sends in his video application. He aces the interview, and he gets hired. Ben impresses every-

one so much he ends up working directly with the boss. Jules (Anne Hathaway) started the company, and is very hands-on. She looks after everything, but she’s so busy she’s having trouble staying on top of it all. Currently her investors are wondering if she needs to hire a CEO to shoulder some of the load. That would mean the new CEO would effectively be Jules’ boss. This is not an easy choice for Jules. Her marriage and family are suffering because of her work, but this is her company. No one can do what she does. Fortunately she has Ben. Ben, with his strength of character, and the wisdom that comes from a life lived, becomes the calm at the centre of Jules’ storm. He becomes her friend when she needs one the most. The Intern is a pure delight. This

Local family emphasizes the importance and impact of the War Amps CHAMP program By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

R0013340469

News – Elginburg native, Carter Sly was born with fibular hemimelia, a birth defect that left him without a fibula. At age one, Sly had an amputation done on his leg and soon after War Amps became a part of his life. “They have been amazing,” said Alzira Sly, Carter’s mom. “They cover his recreational leg, or run-

ning leg, and they offer support and that has been invaluable for us.” Now, at the age of eight, Carter is a normal kid. He plays sports, runs around and participates in programs that help other kids just like him. Carter and his family also attend the War Amps CHAMP conferences whenever they can. The Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program offers comprehensive services to child amputees and their families, including financial assistance, regional semi-

nars and peer support. “When we go to the seminars he has an amazing time,” said Sly. “It is really about amputees helping other amputees and it goes for parents too.” This year, the Slys attended with 25 other families; some were new to the group and dealing with issues similar to Carter’s for the first time.

Local family emphasizes the importance and impact of the War Amps CHAMP program Continued from page 36

“It was really great to be able to talk to them and reassure them that everything will be fine,” said Sly. “A lot of the new parents are overwhelmed and in some cases shocked that it is happening to them and it is good to be there with Carter and show them that everything will be fine. Carter is a normal kid and he plays hockey and baseball and noth-

ing has ever stopped him.” The CHAMP program, which serves children in Canada under 18 who are born missing a limb or have lost a limb due to an accident or medical causes, also helps Carter feel less alone. “He gets to see that he isn’t the only one with a recreational limb and he likes to play with the other kids and talk to them about different adjustments that he can get, like a special

pedal for biking so his foot doesn’t slide off,” said Sly. “He learns a lot from other kids and families.” Carter and his family attend workshops at the conference and many are narrowed to focus on loss of specific limbs. Sly finds that as Carter gets older, the conference is becoming more and more important and helpful.

“He has younger kids looking up to him and asking him questions and it is great to see him interacting and encouraging others,” she said. “He can share his own experiences now and relate with others.” Overall, Sly finds the CHAMP program invaluable to both her and Carter’s quality of life and she encourages other parents dealing with

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, October 15, 2015 37

Everyone played a role in sauerkraut making The cabbages were ready. The heads filled four bushel baskets in the summer kitchen, and Mother had covered them with old quilts. She said to keep them safe from an early frost, which wasn’t likely since it was still September, and they were well protected in the snug summer kitchen. We knew it was to keep the mice off them! Mother worried constantly that a mouse would come in contact with anything we might eventually put in our mouths! It was a Saturday night and everything was ready. The big barrel had been well scoured, sun-dried, and now rolled into the kitchen waiting for the shredded cabbage. We always made sauerkraut on a Saturday night. It was then the whole family would be together, and this was a true family venture! And it all happened around the old pine kitchen table that had been scrubbed within an inch of its life. Father had the shredder ready. It

was a wood box affair about ten inches wide, a couple feet long, with a piece of board smooth as silk from many years of usage, fitting exactly the top of the box. In this board, was a sharp blade imbedded in the middle, and only Father manned this part of the operation. Everett was once allowed to use the shredder and ended up with a goodly portion of a finger cut off which old Doctor Murphy had to stitch back on! So Father took no chances. He was the shredder. Every one of us had a job to do when it came to sauerkraut night. All decked out in long white aprons, (Father thought Mother was taking this cleanliness a bit too far, but he wore one anyway to stop an argument which he was sure to lose), and with our hands scrubbed red, we were ready to begin. Emerson and Everett were in charge of bringing in the heavy bushel baskets of cabbage heads. Earl took the heads out, one at a time, and handed them to Audrey and me sitting at one end of the table. Our job was to peel off the outer leaves, and toss them into one of the empty baskets (they would be fed to the pigs). Mother cored the heads and handed them, one after another to Father at the shredder. One head at a time was placed in

the board with a groove and blade in it, and Father shoved the cabbage back and forth over the blade, filling the cavity underneath. Once it was full, Father dumped the shredded cabbage into the big barrel beside him. Every so often, the entire operation would stop, and Mother would take the wood plunger we used to whip cream into butter, and pound down the cabbage in the barrel, take a cup of coarse salt from the bag and toss it over the shredded cabbage. I loved the smell of the cabbage, which I was sure started to ferment as soon as it hit the barrel, but of course, it didn’t. It would have to sit for weeks before we could truly call it sauerkraut! By the time the last bit of cabbage had been shredded and pounded down into the barrel, it was ready for Father to put the round disc of well scrubbed wood on top of it all. A large stone, so big only Father and Everett or

Emerson could lift it, had been sitting in the dish pan filled with clean water from the pump. It too, had been scrubbed clean, and I loved to hear Father tell how it was the very same stone used by his Father when he was a young boy. The very same stone used to press down the shredded cabbage years and years ago. I would look at the stone, and marvel at the mystery of it all. It always amazed me how we seemed to have the exact amount of cabbage to fill the barrel. It would take the strength of Father and the three boys to carefully roll the filled barrel out to the summer kitchen, where it would again be covered with a clean sheet and then a quilt. Days and sometimes weeks

would pass before we could use the sauerkraut. And often it would be frozen solid in the barrel, and had to be chipped with a special tool made just for that purpose. As Fall stretched into winter, out in the summer kitchen was a barrel that would augment our meals, and we would enjoy the fruits of a true family evening...and savour the wonderful German dishes Father so often made. Just like his Father did a generation before him. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
