Everything’s OK with South Frontenac’s financial picture say auditors By Craig Bakay Reporter
Brillant Singer Pg. 28
Gazette News – Once again, South Frontenac Township has been given a clean bill of financial health following the annual audit by KPMG. “There is not much to report — no control deficiencies, illegality, fraud or abnormal transactions,” said auditor Breanne Bradshaw. She said taxes receivable were down even though overall property taxes have risen, largely due to increased MPAC assessment. Roads expenses were down because of a milder than anticipated winter and the Township received more gas tax revenue from the County than had been bud-
geted for. Township assets of $6.6 million were offset by $6.3 million in amortization. Treasurer Louise Fragnito said the Township finished 2012 with a surplus of $231,645, which, according to the tax levy bylaw, has been transferred to the working fund reserve. Revenues and expenses were budgeted at $21,887,254 but revenues came in at $23,006,655 and expenses at $22,775,010 to account for the surplus. “The surplus revenue can be partially attributed to the additional federal Gas Tax funds received from the County and supplemental taxation,” she said. “Additional expenses are the related expenses to the matching of the County Federal Gas Tax Funding, the purchase of a 2011
carryover approved capital equipment which was funded out of reserves and the clean-up of various financial accounts through the reconciliation and transition to the new financial system.” ••• Councilors were ecstatic about how the annual Bubba Bowl football games went last week at the Point Park in Sydenham. For the record, the Sydenham Golden Eagles took two from the visiting Bayridge Blazers, winning 23-0 in the seniors contest and 41-0 in the junior game. “Sydenham was embarrassingly successful,” said Mayor Gary Davison. “You don’t want to beat anybody 41-0.” But Davison also had praise for what the games meant to the local economy, noting that many of Sydenham’s stores bene-
FROM $29.99
fited from the unusual influx of people that wouldn’t have been in town otherwise. “There must have been 1,000 people at the game and 300 of them were kids running around,” Davison said. “I wish we could do this every other Friday.” “We could call it the ‘Davison Bowl,’” joked Coun. Del Stowe. • • • Coun. Bill Robinson, not usually noted for being satisfied with the work the Township does very often, nevertheless had some words of praise for the Public Works department at last week’s meeting. “I’d just like to thank the Public Works department for standing behind their word and getting the work done on the Harrowsmith sidewalks,” said Robinson, himself a resident of the hamlet.

County approves its own code of conduct bylaw By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — Frontenac County Council passed its Code of Conduct by a vote of 6-3 at its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie, but as has become the norm with such things, it was not without its dissenters. “I think it’s very well put together but I was hoping to get a completed copy before deciding to vote on it,� said Coun. Denis Doyle, who voted nay. “I still don’t believe we need an integrity commissioner,� said Coun. John Inglis, who also voted against the bylaw. “This is an unnecessary addition to the bureaucracy.� Coun. John Purdon, however, defend-
ed the integrity commissioner provision. “To me, it’s something along the lines of a closed session investigator,â€? Purdon said. “It’s just somebody you call on when needed.â€? Coun. Gary Davison said he’d support a small retainer fee for an integrity commissioner but had other concerns despite voting to approve the document. Davison thought some of the rules regarding gifts and/or benefits were a little repressive. “I’m certainly not going to keep a little notepad to write down everything,â€? he said. “I think a $100 limit is just ridiculous.â€? ••• Frontenac County Council voted to approve funding to send two Fairmount Home recreationists to the Music Care
Conference in Toronto. In addition to the Music Medicine and Quality of Life Symposium, the recreationists plan to attend workshops on using music to connect with people suffering from dementia, music in hospice palliative care and bereavement, singing for dementia care and maximizing your music. In a report to Council, Fairmount Director of Resident Care Mary Lake said the total conference fee for both recreationists is $419 and shared accommodation is estimated at $200. Meals are provided at the conference
and they will take the Fairmount van so there will be no reimbursement required for mileage. She said the costs can be accommodated within the current programming budget. Warden Janet Gutowski spoke in favour of the move. “I’ve done a lot of reading on this
and it does seem to have a lot of value,� Gutowski said. ••• After returning from a closed session, Council announced that it would be proceeding with the expropriation of a piece of land in South Frontenac Township belonging to Bob Leonard. The land is to be used for the K & P Trail.

County planning services Local families show that scouting is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;in tentsâ&#x20AC;? for Central Frontenac experience approved, barely By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Frontenac County will be providing planning services for Central Frontenac Township beginning in 2014, but it was by no means a unanimous decision at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular Frontenac County Council meeting in Glenburnie. In a recorded vote, Coun. Gary Davison (two votes as South Frontenac Mayor), John McDougall and David Jones voted against the measure, making the result 5-4 in favour. Currently, the County also provides planning services for Frontenac Islands and there are plans in the works to extend the service to North Frontenac Township. South Frontenac, which has more than twice the population of the other townships combined, already has a full-time planner plus a planning assistant on staff. Not surprisingly, the majority of the opposition came from South. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was assured that the people (townships) using this service would be paying for it,â&#x20AC;? Davison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any cost recovery in here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no charge for calls to the planner, and nothing for a half-day spent in Sharbot Lake or the travel to and from,â&#x20AC;? said McDougall (who also represents South Frontenac). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those expenses are all on the County ticket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like cost recovery to me.â&#x20AC;? McDougall also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the fact that the contract just â&#x20AC;&#x153;rolls overâ&#x20AC;? as opposed to coming up for renegotiation on a regular basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think South Frontenac should be (financially) supporting the other townshipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan-
ning,â&#x20AC;? said Davison. Warden Janet Gutowski (also the Mayor of Gazette News - Lawns across the region Central Frontenac) took exception to Davisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were looking a lot like campsites last week, comments, relinquishing the chair to respond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have great respect for Coun. Davisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this Council has recognized that three of the four townships are substantially smaller in size and there is not enough activity to have that position (planner) on staff in any one of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of things from the past weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re undoing like some subdivisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(And) now, with this contract, the County has the opportunity for cost recovery coming in from two townships.â&#x20AC;? Davison said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like the matter deferred â&#x20AC;&#x153;until we get a policy in place for cost-recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe those hours should be billed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a contract in place and to defer now would be unfair,â&#x20AC;? said CAO/Clerk Liz Savill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we should defer but agree we should look at a better system,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Denis Doyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spend more for coffee and donuts (muffins, actually) for these (County Council) meetings than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ever going to be compensated for,â&#x20AC;? said Davison. Under the terms of the contract, the County will be charging hourly costs for preparing planning reports on private applications like minor variances, consent, site-plan agreements, etc but not for any face-to-face meetings or attendance at meetings. There will be no charge for Township-initiated planning projects such as an Official Plan update or revised Zoning Bylaw.

as the Loyalist area scouts were part of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;in tentsâ&#x20AC;? campaign which had them setting up camp on their front lawns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About five years ago I heard about this idea about putting tents on the front lawn and putting a corresponding sign to attract attention,â&#x20AC;? says commissioner David Cunningham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wanted to try it.â&#x20AC;? The idea was for people driving by to notice the tents and the corresponding signs, which included information about the scoutsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; website, and be inspired to learn more about scouting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like scouting because it teaches you how to do some survival things, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun doing games and playing around with other people,â&#x20AC;? says 12-year-old Dylan Nevis, who has participated in cubs and scouts for the last six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned how to use a knife properly and start a fire. You can learn a lot about the outdoors and have fun with other people.â&#x20AC;? The various levels of scouting are open to boys and girls between the ages of five and 26. There is also the opportunity for parents and guardians of scouts to become leaders. For more information, visit www.kingstonscouting.ca.

South Frontenac looks to recoup some firefighting expenses By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — South Frontenac Township decided to use a new company that’s found a wrinkle in fire insurance policies to collect some additional revenue at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough told Council that Fire Marque, a company made up of former insurance agents, brokers and politicians that’s been in operation in Ontario for 20 months, is in the business of recovering costs from insurance companies for services provided by municipalities. “Each insurance company includes a clause in their policy for peril coverage,” Chesebrough said. “The amount is either $1,000 or $5,000 for residential coverage and $25,000 for commercial coverage. “Fire Marque invoices the insurance company on the Township’s behalf based on the standard incident report provided to them. “When the collection is received, it is deposited in trust and then a cheque is forwarded to the municipality.” Fire Marque retains 30 per cent and remits 70 per cent to the Township. Chesebrough said he did some research to see if, first of all the Township is allowed legally to use this service and second to see if the collection would have any impact on an individual’s homeowner policy. “There are currently 19 fire departments under agreement with Fire Marque,” he said. “Col-
lecting against this clause has no effect on the homeowner’s coverage and does not affect their policy or reduce their coverage. “Policy holders do not face an increase in their premiums as a result of this collection (and) as taxpayers, this is not a double charge for services — your insurance policy is bought and paid for your coverage and perils coverage is in your existing policy.” He said that based on 2012 fire statistics, the projected revenue would have been $9,374. Chesebrough suggested the revenues from this source be directed to the capital fund for facilities. Coun. Bill Robinson said he had a bit of a problem with using an outside firm to collect these revenues. “I feel like we’re losing control,” he said. “Currently, the Township doesn’t have the resources or expertise to access these funds,” said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. Coun. Ron Vandewal was opposed to where the money would go. “I think this is an operating expense and we’re already putting 1 per cent of taxation away for facilities,” he said. “Staff recommended facilities because it’s not a regular revenue stream,” said Orr. “We could earmark it for training or equipment — hoses and breathing apparatus come up every budget — but if we start to count on it, we may find ourselves having to look for that revenue elsewhere some years.” The motion passed 7-2, with Robinson and Vandewal opposed.

If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one thing on Wolfe Island, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another
This ad space was generously donated by: WHEN EVERY SECOND MATTERS, DOCTORS NEED THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB Hotel Dieu Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Urgent Care Centre plays an important role for many patients seeking time-sensitive medical care in a busy downtown setting. Working closely with the Emergency Department at Kingston General Hospital, the Urgent Care Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is to serve patients whose illness or injuries are not life-threatening but are serious enough to require prompt medical attention.
By Margaret Knott Correspondant
EMC News - Can you believe thisâ&#x20AC;Ś The liquor store on Wolfe Island has closed. With little fanfare a sign was posted on Nileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street store that the Liquor Store part of their business is Closed. Take bottles to the city, it says. There is much significance to that statement. The Recycle Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mae Etmanski, had developed a wonderful fund raising plan involving bottles. A bin for glass was one thing but a bin for wine, beer and liquor bottles was added. Mae sorted and separated them. She had a list of all â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not for profitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; island organizations required to fund raise to operate, and determined how funds raised from bottle returns would be distributed monthly to a different non profit organizations . The organization of the month was required to assist in the process of sorting, packing, loading and transporting to the local store for eventual trucking to the city. The idea caught on, and islanders very willingly returned their bottles to the site offering them as a donation to benefit the community. And, of course, the beneficiaries of the largesse such bottles provided for their organization were ecstatic. What happens nowâ&#x20AC;Ś? No one knows at the present time.. Until something does, the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closure can only be seen a major loss to the community. In the meantime a big Thank You to Mae. It was wonderful while it lasted. And if that was not a big enough surprise, how about this- Mosierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garage has shut down its gas pumps, (including diesel). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 30 year life of the tanks have expired and when they are empty today thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it,â&#x20AC;? Danny Mosier said to a number of patrons who had stopped by for gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad but that is way it is.â&#x20AC;? Mosier had discussed the situa-
From time-to-time, however, patients arrive at Urgent Care who may be sicker than they think. For the emergency medicine physicians who care for them, getting a treatment plan in place as quickly as possible is essential. Technology, such as portable ultrasound machines, can help save precious time. Dr. Louise Rang, the Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Director for the Department of Emergency Medicine explains that a portable ultrasound machine that can be wheeled to the bedside helps emergency physicians get important information fast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use it for patients that DUH SRWHQWLDOO\ WRR VLFN WR OHDYH WKH GHSDUWPHQW Âľ VKH VD\V ´,I \RX FDQ DQVZHU VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F FOLQLFDO questions at the bedside, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done that patient a favour. Because presumably when you get a diagnosis, you can get a management plan in place faster.â&#x20AC;? Shaving off half an hour, an hour or two hours in time, will usually translate into better patient outcomes. Two of the ultrasound machines are in use at KGH, where Dr. Rang says she will use it on 8- 10 people every shift. There is an older machine at Hotel Dieu that is in need of UHSODFHPHQW 7KDW¡V ZK\ KRVSLWDO RIĂ&#x20AC;FLDOV KDYH DVNHG WKDW SURFHHGV IURP WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW HYHU VLJQDWXUH Leadership Breakfast held by the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation in support of Hotel Dieu will raise funds for a new portable ultrasound machine for Urgent Care. Between the two hospitals, Dr. Rang says there are typically four things emergency SK\VLFLDQV ORRN IRU ZLWK EHGVLGH XOWUDVRXQG ´:H FKHFN WKH KHDUW WR VHH LI LW KDV Ă XLG DURXQG LW FKHFN WKH DEGRPHQ IRU VLJQV RI LQWUD DEGRPLQDO EOHHGLQJ PHDVXUH WKH DRUWD WR HQVXUH LW¡V QRW dilated, and look to see if a pregnant womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregnancy is in the correct location within the uterus.â&#x20AC;? While many patients with those types of illnesses will go to the Emergency Department at KGH, some are able to walk into the Urgent Care centre. When their care team can provide an ultrasound at the bedside, it means their treatment can be expedited. That may include being sent directly into emergency surgery at KGH, without having to stop in the Emergency Department.

If no ultrasound was used it often took much longerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps an hour,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About half of the patients who had delayed care would die, whereas almost all of the ones that made it to the operating room within 15 minutes survived. That was pretty convincing.â&#x20AC;? Here in Kingston, ruptured aneurysms are among the most dramatic discoveries made through ultrasound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of those patients come in looking really sick, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong. They may or may not be able to tell you their symptoms. Once you see that they have a large aneurysm on bedside ultrasound, you can call the surgical team and be up to the operating room very quickly.â&#x20AC;?

tion with MPP John Gerretsen some months ago but there is no simple solution to the problem, nor is there funding available to replace the tanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an estimate done and replacing the tanks would cost anywhere between $225,000 to $300,00. I cannot do it, and I will not do it. Our proximity to the water could also pose a risk as well,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I am sad about it. I have many loyal customers who will find this hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Danny had other concerns about cottagers and residents waiting in the Kingston line up for the ferry with 20-30 gas filled cans to take to the island for their boats and equipment (mowers, generators etc.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;How will MTO handle thatâ&#x20AC;Ś?

Bake table had several purposes in Depression era kitchen Gazette Lifestyle - Even at a young age, I was aware of the sameness of all the farm kitchens in Northcote. There was estopped always a creton couch, although the shapes varied. Some had one end curved upwards, so a pillow wasn’t needed to rest your head. Our couch lay flat and there wasn’t really a mattress on it. Rather, several layers of quilts protected you from the coil springs, and this couch was where the farmer put his weary head after his noon dinner for a few minutes rest before he headed back out to the fields or the barns. And every kitchen of course, had a cook stove. Some people just called it, simply, the range. But Mother called our big lumbering iron stove, The Oval. The other constant in a farm kitchen was the bake table. This differed greatly from the big pine table that stretched out to set at least 12 people when necessary. The bake table was much smaller. Longer than it was wide, it had a small drawer at one end. Ours had a white porcelain top and it stood several inches taller than the big table we ate our meals at every day. Why it was called the bake table, I have no idea. Because Mother never once baked on it. Perhaps it was because this is where pies were set to cool off, and freshly made loaves of bread waited to be wrapped in split-open brown paper bags saved from orders from Briscoe’s General Store. The little drawer, much longer than it was wide, held our supply of flourbag tea towels, neatly folded, and ironed of course. The bake table sat close to the back door, but unless there were pies and freshly baked bread spread out on it, Mother liked to keep it bare. And heaven forbid that you should put a wet mitt, a school bag, or anything else that would leave a spot on the shiny white porcelain. Mother kept the bake table spotlessly clean, and when company was expected, it was wiped with a wet dish cloth whether it needed it or not, and then a little
Fun with Food Banks EMC Events – Coleen Richter, Tracy Bamford, Sharon Matthews and Linda MacKenzie shared a few laughs at Mike Dean’s Food Store in Sharbot Lake last weekend collecting food and money during the first annual Thanksgiving Food Drive for the Food Bank in Sharbot Lake. “It’s not just about collecting,” said Matthews. “Anyone who’s in need of help or would like to volunteer can call North Frontenac Community Services (613-2793159).” If you’d still like to contribute, the store will still be taking donations, as is the Food Bank itself (at St. Andrews Church) and/or the Marina.

white square table cloth was put on it, kittycornered, and if one had survived the season, a bright red geranium plunked down in the middle! The bake table had another use too. When company overflowed, and the old pine table couldn’t hold another soul, and extra seating was needed, the bake table was put to use. It was moved out from the wall and this is where the youngest of us ate our meals, well away from the kitchen table and the company. The little table could only seat four people...one at each end, and one on each side. I didn’t much care for eating at the bake table. It removed me from the joyous activity surrounding the big table, but as well, because the bake table was so much higher, we had to take pillows off the beds to sit on, or else our chins would be in our dinner plates! Being the youngest in our family, I was always doomed to eat at the bake table with other young cousins. My cousin Ronny loved to eat at the bake table. Then he didn’t have to watch his table manners, and it wasn’t unusual for him to take off his plate anything he didn’t like and put it in his pants’ pocket, and dispose of it after the meal. The kitchen was the biggest room in our old log house, and there were no built in cupboards. Dishes were kept in the Back-tothe-Wall cupboard, and pots and pans either sat on top of the warming closet of the Findlay Oval, or stored in it. The bake table was the perfect place, when we hosted the Saturday Night House party, for the eleven quart baskets of sandwiches, and the slab cakes brought in by the neighbours for the late-night lunch. When you walked by you could smell the egg salad sandwiches, and the maple icing on the slab cakes. Mother loved the bake table. I think now it was because it had a porcelain top and wasn’t made of pine like most of the furniture in that old log house. Mother liked any piece of furniture that wasn’t made of pine... she once said pine rhymed with poverty. I was too young to know the meaning behind the comment. Sometimes Mother sat at the bake table. She would put her sewing basket on it, and do some mending. Or she would spread out the Philadelphia Enquirer. It was considered her table. And all of us, and that included Father knew better than to put as much as a pencil on it.

Entertainment value of County Council just keeps rising if nothing else Craig Bakay Reporter
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Column â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Where to begin, where to begin? Frontenac County Council has become one of the more entertaining beats these days to be sure. For example, North Frontenac Mayor Bud Clayton said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to a committee of the whole meeting to discuss the search for a CAO unless he could bring his rifle. Of course he was alluding to the fact that the meeting would be in the beginning of deer season . . . or was he? You see, things have gotten pretty tense down in Glenburnie these days every since Warden Janet Gutowski refused to step down after her one-year term as has been the unwritten policy since 1999. (Of course she probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gotten the idea to stay on had Clayton not forced a vote for her to be warden after Coun. Gary Davison stepped down after the first year of this Council, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just speculation.) Then, after a lot of sniping at Gutowski
by several members of Council, Her Worship decided to fire back and launched a defamation lawsuit against Clayton, Coun. Denis Doyle and John McDougall (McDougall, it should be noted, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really do any sniping but had the audacity to vote for a motion censuring the Warden). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think that would have settled things down but no. Consider this discourse that happened during a discussion of what to do in the interim to replace departing CAO/Clerk Liz Savill, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting out of Dodge for a similar position in Northumberland County. Coun. John Inglis commented that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with the role Council was playing in this search, suggesting that this might be something that would warrant a special meeting of Council. For some reason, that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit well with Gutowski, who rambled on about 150 years of tradition and said that the Municipal Act, which she took great pains to say she supported, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow for small meetings other than committees. And then, she took a snipe at Inglis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps some training would be possible,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told how to be-
have and I thank you,â&#x20AC;? Inglis responded. Davison, noting the irony that Gutowski would be citing tradition after having broken with it herself by staying on as Warden, just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just going back to you using that analogy of tradition and I thought there might be a flame burst out in this room,â&#x20AC;? Davison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d mention it.â&#x20AC;? Jones, sporting a new handlebar moustache and looking for all the world like the Monopoly Man on steroids, also had to get into the act, but showing that he could be subtle when he wanted to be. When it was all but decided that there would be no search for a temporary replacement for Savill and that Treasurer Marion VanBruinessen would fill the post of temporary CAO, Jones got in this shot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to express my admiration for Marion and Jeanette (Amini, deputy clerk who will fill the role of acting clerk),â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised at this capacity you have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I thought you were very busy people (a reference to requests for additional staffing). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this temporary situation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact the budgetary process, including my pet peeve, the reserve review.â&#x20AC;? Stay tuned folks.

to be well enough to look at a screen or a page, yet sick enough to not be expected to do anything constructive. Admittedly, I could be unfairly imposing the bit about the privilege on my memory. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I have now experienced being a real adult with real responsibilities who is genuinely sick. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fun.

I missed two weeks of school, the first of which was spent in bed. The second week bordered on enjoyable. I read three books and watched The Price is Right and reruns of the original Star Trek. I ate bland carbs and drank lots of ginger ale and orange juice. The second incidence of pneumonia came in early February. Once again, I missed two weeks of school, but this time both felt more like the

I was unable to look after Summer or socialize with our friend who was visiting for the weekend. I stayed in bed, lying as still as possible. Movement hurt my stomach and my goosebumpcovered skin.

In Our Opinion
Recycle, Reduce, Reuse? Gazette Editorial - The week of Oct. 21-27 marks Waste Reduction Week in Canada. Across the country, groups and individuals are encouraged to do what they can to promote recycling, composting and anything else that reduces the amount of waste that is produced every day across the nation. According to the website www.wrwcanada.com, this annual week-long event has been occurring since 2001, but how many people actually know about it? The publicity surrounding this seemingly important matter and awareness week is severely lacking. Upon doing a quick Google search we discovered that, here in Kingston, there have been programs and events that have run during this week in the past, but nothing comes up for this year. The City is promoting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Giveaway Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which occurred on Oct 19. The day falls outside of the designated week and is questionable in terms of a waste reduction strategy. This lack of pertinent events speaks to the lack of caring that surrounds recycling and waste reduction in our society. We are all quick to say that waste reduction is important, but if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support it in a tangible way we are just adding to the waste with our sentiments and lack of follow through. By now, in 2013, recycling should be a habit that has been adopted by everyone. But there are still countless individuals and businesses that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be bothered to take the time to sort out their trash and observe the proper recycling schedule, let alone attend an event for Waste Reduction Week. A waste-free lunch challenge should not be a challenge, it should be a common everyday occurrence. Waste Reduction Week should be a time to celebrate all of the waste reduction work that has been done in communities over the past year - a time to reflect on accomplishments and develop new strategies. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope more people will participate in and help raise awareness of Waste Reduction Week in years to come.
Have something to say? Something on your mind? Send us a letter to the editor editorial@theheritageemc.ca living in time for the work week. The stomach flu was nothing more than a bad memory. Or so I thought. It was Thanksgiving weekend and we were driving back from a family lunch in Gananoque. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not feeling so great,â&#x20AC;? I told Steve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I need to lie down when we get home.â&#x20AC;? I stayed in bed all afternoon and evening, feeling awful. Just when I thought it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any worse, Steve came to bed early after putting Summer down and mentioned that he too felt sick. I will spare you the details of how the night played out in our house. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say neither of us got a lot of sleep. When Summer woke at her usual 5:30 a.m., we were tired, weak, sick, and at a total loss. How on earth would we take care of this baby?

feverish and experiencing awful nausea and stomach pain was about the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. To say I was grateful when my parents offered to take Summer for the remainder of the day and night would be an understatement. I was also thankful for the holiday, and not having to be at work. In fact, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever so enthusiastically participated in the gratitude aspect of Thanksgiving. For the rest of the day, Steve and I alternated between long naps and a marathon of Lost on Netflix. (Dare I say I enjoyed the laziness just a tad?) Gradually, we improved. Summer came home and we went back to work. Things got back to normal. I can only hope that I have another 15 years to take relative health for granted before being hit with my next too-sick-to-move grade illness. s !DVERTISING RATES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE ACCORDING TO the rate card in effect at time advertising published. s 4HE ADVERTISER AGREES THAT THE PUBLISHER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. s 4HE ADVERTISER AGREES THAT THE COPYRIGHT OF ALL ADVERTISEMENTS prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. s 4HE 0UBLISHER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO EDIT REVISE OR REJECT any advertisement.

Facts may be lacking but Hanks brilliant as Captain Phillips Arts – Captain Phillips is a story that touches on a lot of things. It touches on the effects of globalization. It touches on the desperation of people with nothing to lose. Mostly though, it’s about the bravery and resourcefulness of a single individual.

lips and take him in the lifeboat. Desperate to come home with some kind of payday the pirates kidnap the captain and the real ordeal begins. Captain Phillips is an incredible movie. In doing my research I did come across some discrepancies between the actual events, and the story that’s portrayed in the film. Fortunately it’s not my job to judge such things. It’s my job to judge that movie on the screen in front of me, and it
is tremendous. Paul Greengrass focuses his lens on the figures of Captain Phillips and his heroics, and the Somalia pirate Muse who is willing to do whatever it takes to get his money. Greengrass uses their relationship to create the tension that runs through the film, and it could make it a black and white, good versus evil, kind of story, but the world is never that simple, and so neither is the film. Greengrass is very aware

of the circumstances that creates men desperate enough to hijack a cargo freighter, and manages to filter that through his lens without taking away from the heroics of Phillips. An actor I’ve never heard of and can find no information about, Barkhad Abdi plays the role of Muse. While he’s a relative unknown he may not be for long as his performance is exceptional. He captures his role perfectly. Tom Hanks is a gift. His portrayal of Captain Phillips is a lesson in how to take the words on the page and turn them into a real, living, feeling human being. It’s an inspiring performance. Granted the events or the man in the film may not match up exactly with reality, but that’s not my concern. My concern is for the merits of the film itself, and the film I watched was astounding. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Halloween traditions Gazette Lifestyle - These are playful and magical days as children and many adults prepare their costumes for Halloween. Parties are planned. Treats are stocked. Many leaves have fallen, but much color remains. I feel like a kid during this autumn week. In older times, it wasn’t so cheerful. In Irish Gaelic, Samhain, pronounced sow-en, is the word for the month of November. It marked the increasing darkness of winter. Harvest bonfires were stoked and roared into the night as folks nervously laughed in the face of darkness and death. The supernatural aspects of Halloween have their origins in the Celtic nations. After the harvest of crops was complete, the earth appeared dead. Nothing grew. Darkness increased and the weather became cold and miserable. The Celts believed that at the transition time during the night before Nov. 1, called Oíche Shamhna (Irish Gaelic for eve/ night of November), the boundary between the worlds of the living and dead was at its thinnest. It was believed that those who had passed away could visit the living on that night. The Celts would light giant bonfires. They practiced divination to foretell events of the coming year. In Christian countries, it became known as All Hallows Day. The night before became the evening of All Hallows Eve or Hallowe’en. On Nov. 1, All Saints Day, Christians remember the saints, martyrs and faithful departed. In many cultures, people make a point of visiting and bringing flowers to the graves of loved ones who have died. Since the veil between worlds (life and afterlife) is considered weak or non-existent on Halloween, a Celtic tradition involved leaving food and wine outside the front door or in the living room by the hearth for roaming and visiting spirits. It was hoped that the past members of one’s own family would return for a visit. The Church adapted this ritual to the distribution of soul cakes (pastries) to the hungry. My grandparents always set places by the
fireplace for the ancestors who may be visiting on Oct. 31. I don’t know if it was meant as a literal or symbolic gesture. Today, we do this in our home. We honor those who have gone before us. We miss them. I light the fire and then set places at a low table in front of the hearth. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I sit and wonder what my grandmother would have said or thought during difficult times. She’s been dead for years and I miss her always. She offered great wisdom to me during my adolescence. Her door was open and her home was my refuge when the world seemed to be spinning out of control. I could show up and crash at her house at 5 a.m., no questions asked. As I build the fire on Oct. 31 and set a place for Gramma, I always make sure there’s a spot of brandy available on the table. Gramma liked a brandy on cold nights. Another favorite Halloween ritual from my Irish family is the baking of barmbrack, a fruitcake. A ring or coin is placed in the middle of it before it is baked. It is believed that whoever finds the ring or coin will also find their true love in the ensuing year. As a child I had to ward off the nagging questions in my mind wondering what would happen if my mother or father got the coin. In my Gramma’s Irish opinion, the garden had to be harvested by Oct. 31, Oíche Shamnha (the eve/night of November). Anything remaining in the ground after that belongs to the púca (pooka) and the crop is then considered inedible for humans. The shape-shifting beast known as the púca A ghostly butler made from pumpkins at Pumpkinferno on the grounds of Upper Canada is generally benevolent, but there are cerVillage. Photo/Mark Bergin tainly malevolent tales about it. On the positive side, if you’ve seen James Stewart in the movie Harvey, you’ve seen a púca. Well, you don’t really see a púca, you see the effects of his (Harvey’s) existence as he closes doors and gates and at times even casts a shadow. Harvey, you see, is a six-foot-tall rabbit, one of the many forms a púca takes. Continued on page 12

A púca may also appear as a horse (seen in Darby O’Gill and the Little People), and the sleek, equine, black beast is the fairy world creature’s favorite form. It may also appear as a goat, dog (Sirius Black in Harry Potter) or goblin. The horse usually leads people away from harm, although popular movies, like Darby O’Gill, often portray it as a portent of impending doom. The only person to have ridden a púca is the great High King of Ireland, Brian Boru. Rather than squelch the fun, my Irish Catholic parents always said the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel to begin the evening. It certainly added to the mood as the angels were invoked to do battle against those who wander seeking the ruin of souls. As I grew into my teens, I continued to enjoy the evening and.... never mind, can’t tell you the things we got into during those wild years. The practice of going door-to-door in costume, hoping for treats, can be traced to Ireland and Scotland, where the event was known as guising. The costumes helped disguise the wearer and keep them from potential harm intended by evil spirits.
By the mid 20th century, especially during post-Second World War years when babyboom children were numerous, parties were moved to the streets, and children once again took part in guising/trick-or-treating. These days, I love seeing children trick-ortreating. I hope I always get enjoyment from the princesses, witches, wizards, fairies, monsters, ghosts and goblins at the door. There’s nothing better than seeing a child in a costume made from scratch. As a kid, I always liked going out as a bandit like Robin Hood, Bill Doolin (I knew my cowboys), Jesse James, or some elf or ninja of the night. If you’re looking for fun and family-friendly events, there are many in the region. Many towns host haunted walks. For older kids and adults, there’s Fort Henry’s Fort Fright. I would not take younger children to Fort Fright. It’s a fantastic, professional setting, but can be too scary for wee ones. On the other hand, older kids, teens and adults love it. Upper Canada Village hosts the spectacular Pumpkinferno celebration with thousands of carved and illuminated pumpkins. Pumpkinferno is family-friendly for all ages.

Greenway blossoms with hometown Fronts By Mark Kerr Reporter
Gazette Sports - There are several benefits that come with playing OHL hockey close to home: familiar surroundings, home-cooked meals, a comfortable bed. For Kingston Frontenacs forward Darcy Greenway, a guaranteed cheering section at every home game is a definite bonus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have family and friends come to the rink every game and support me. Not a lot of guys get that opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said the Wilton, Ont. native. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had an awesome junior hockey experience.â&#x20AC;? Greenway, 20, has left home for hockey in the past. He played his minor hockey in the Kingston area before moving to Illinois during his minor midget season to attend Lake Forest Academy. He returned home the following year to suit up for Wellington, helping lead the Dukes to the Canadian national Junior A hockey championship. Greenway attempted to make the jump to the OHL in 2011 with the London Knights, the team that drafted him in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;London has a great program, but I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit into that puzzle,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming home to Kingston worked out well and the Frontenacs have given me every opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Greenwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boosters have had plenty of chances to cheer the past two seasons. Both years Greenway led the Frontenacs
in goals scored with 27 in 2011-12 and 24 in 2012. Â He is off to a quick start this season with seven goals and an assist over the first nine games. A major reason for that production has been the chemistry between Greenway and his linemates Conor McGlynn and Corey Pawley. The trio clicked early in training camp and continued their strong play in the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That line has been successful because of its combination of size, skill and speed,â&#x20AC;? Kingston Coach Todd Gill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;McGlynn has the size and can bump players off the puck. Greenway and Pawley have the speed to make things happen.â&#x20AC;? Not blessed with imposing size, the 5-foot-8 centreman has relied on his quick skating and skill throughout his hockey career. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say Greenway plays on the perimeter, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming into the OHL (in 2011), I knew that I had to keep working and not be scared to go into the dirty areas,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are not willing to go into those areas of the ice, you are not going to get too far.â&#x20AC;? Greenwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work ethic has earned him high praise from Coach Gill. The Frontenacsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coaching staff believe they can count on the overage player to not only score goals but to also be a leader on this up-andcoming team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darcy leads by example on the ice and off, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we gave him an A,â&#x20AC;? Coach Gill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of quality
guys this year, and Darcy could easily have had the C on his shirt.â&#x20AC;? Greenwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to continually develop his game has paid off, most noticeably in his own end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Gill is big on defensive zone coverage, and it is something we work on a lot in practice,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are not able to make the transition to defensive zone coverage, you are going to get burned a lot.â&#x20AC;? So far, so good for Greenway early in the season. A minus player in his first two
ALL
OHL seasons, Greenway was a plus-3 after nine games this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darcy is more patient,â&#x20AC;? Coach Gill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a goal scorer, you want to go, go, go. But if you want to start playing better, talented offensive players need to clean up the danger areas in their own end first before taking off. Darcy has done a good job working on that.â&#x20AC;? Greenway has given some thought to playing professional hockey after this year. However, he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t letting his future distract
him from helping the Frontenacs live up to high expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I worry too much about that now, I will lose sight of what we are doing here this year. I am just concentrating on this season and taking it game to game.â&#x20AC;? Visit www.kingstonfrontenacs.com for more information on the Frontenacs.

Dedicated Councillor Pat Norris Resigns By Margaret Knott Correspondant
EMC News - The first act carried out at the October meeting of Frontenac Islands Council was to accept the resignation of long time politician Councillor Patrick Norris. Norris, who had indicted his intention to Mayor Doyle, submitted his resignation in advance of the meeting. It was with apparent regret that Mayor Doyle made the announcement appropriately on Howe Island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paddy spent nearly forty years serving the public and was instrumental in obtaining the amenities on Howe Island we enjoy, such as this municipal office and garage, the fire
hall, the larger County ferry and the ball diamond. He also worked very hard at keeping Howe Island property taxes among the lowest of any municipality in Ontario. We accept the resignation of Councillor Norris with sadness , wish him well in his retirement and declare his position now vacant.â&#x20AC;? he said. According to the mayor there are two options available to the township in filling the position, through a by-election or by appointment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most municipalities we have researched would not go for a by election this late in a term of office. The most practical and cost effective way of doing this is to go for an appointment, in which case the
question is how do we do that? Other municipalities would open it up to the public and ask people to indicate their interest in serving,â&#x20AC;? the mayor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How about we call for nominations for a period of X months and then meet to decide,â&#x20AC;? Deputy Mayor Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 60 days, two months from tonight. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there would be a handful of people here who would be interested,â&#x20AC;? he added. (No hands went up). The township will prepare and issue a public notice asking if there are people from the Howe Island ward interested in finishing the term. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, call the Howe Island Office at 613-544-
6348 or email Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Carol Dwyre: cdwyre@kos. net (Ontario. municipal elections are October 27, 2014.) The regular council meeting continued with the hearing of delegations and regular council business. *The Noise by law will be dealt with at the November meeting on Wolfe Island.. More council news next time.. Pat Norris served the Howe Island community where he farmed among other things for 40 years, all of his adult life really. During those years he was Warden, Reeve, Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councillor. He had a strong commitment to improving ferry transportation to the island and saw a bridge as a
long term solution. In 1993 , his then 25 years of service were recognized by the province, as well as the township. He was the 1st recipient of Howe Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Proclamation Day award in 2012. At the same time it was determined that the Howe Island Ball Park on Howe Island Drive be renamed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patrick Norris Community Parkâ&#x20AC;?. Paddy brought wisdom, experience and honesty to the table, was prudent with the taxpayers dollars and careful in decision makingâ&#x20AC;Ś always trying to balance the needs of the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important agricultural community with those of the growing residential community.. Happy retirementâ&#x20AC;Ś Pat Norris.

1938 Ford pickup: perfect blend of old and new! Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At a big car show in Bothwell, Ontario, in August, an old Ford pickup truck caught my eye. It appeared to still have its original, although weather-beaten, finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story be-
hind this truck,â&#x20AC;? I said to myself as I put my card on the windshield with a note: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please call me.â&#x20AC;? Later that day, when we returned home to Leamington, a message was waiting on our phone: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi
Bill, this is Ron Favot calling from Tecumseh. You left a note on my windshield. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the owner of the 1938 Ford pickup.â&#x20AC;? I called Ron right away and got the story. The truck came from Minnesota to Ontario around 1999 and was all stock and unrestored. Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin kept it under a tarp for the next ten years, then Ron bought it, took it all apart, and rebuilt in in 2010. The rebuild is a wonderful blend of old and new. The original flathead V8 has been replaced with a 355 cubic inch Chevy bored out
.030 and mated to a 200 R4 automatic transmission. A Gran Prix driveshaft was a perfect fit to carry the power to the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;98 Dakota rear end. The clutch pedal is now gone but the original brake pedal still goes down through the floor. The original mechanical brakes had been replaced with â&#x20AC;&#x153;wetâ&#x20AC;? (hydraulic) brakes when the truck was still in Minnesota. Disc brakes are now on the front with drums at rear. The electrical system is now 12 volt but the battery is still in its original position under the hood. This truck still has its original steering wheel and original front suspension with transverse â&#x20AC;&#x153;buggyâ&#x20AC;? spring. The rear springs are now parallel leaf. A Genie shifter is mounted on the floor. The dash features after-market gauges but the speedometer and odometer are still original and still working! The odometer shows 52,555 miles. The original two-piece windshield can be cranked out for the
1938 version of air conditioning. Ron tells me that as long as the truck is moving at 10 miles an hour, the breeze coming in is nice and cool. Turn signals are from the top of a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;72 International truck. The front bumper is from a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;37 Ford and the rear bumper is the front bumper from this truck. And the original finish includes some lettering on the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door as a leftover from when someone owned the truck in Minnesota. The lettering is more or less illegible but it will remain on the truck, along with all the original paint. A very cool ride! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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: â&#x20AC;&#x153;OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.â&#x20AC;?

Simple ways to extend the life of your vehicle According to data from TrueCar. com, in 2012 the average new car cost $30,500. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a considerable expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise. Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners
can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. * Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation
of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. * Stick to the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended maintenance sched-
R0012371849
ule. Adhering to your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil every 3,000 miles, many of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for manufacturer recommendations regarding oil changes, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil. * Pay attention to brake pads.

dition, the tiresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual. * Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. So unless your car is running on empty, avoid refilling its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station. * Take care of your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior, too. Caring for a car is not just about being good to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under the hood. Caring for the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. The longer you enjoy driving your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it. Preserve the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door and window seals; clean the dashboard, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.
Winterizing vehicles an important step for drivers As fall gradually gives way to winter, vehicle owners often sigh at the thought of driving in winter weather or spending weekday mornings clearing their vehicles of ice before heading to the office. But manning the wheel through another snowstorm or whittling away another night’s worth of ice from a car’s windshield are not the only rites of passage motorists must endure as cold weather returns. Winterizing a vehicle can improve vehicle performance during a time of year that, in many locales, can be especially harsh on automobiles. Low temperatures make for less than ideal conditions for engines to run, while potholes left behind by snow plows can damage a vehicle’s wheels and may even result in flat tires and a damaged suspension system. In addition, salt used to improve traction on roadways can cause rust. Short of moving to a locale with mild winters, there’s little drivers can do to protect their vehicles from harsh winter weather. But winterizing a vehicle can prevent some of the more common issues drivers may encounter when the temperatures dip below freezing. * Take time out for your tires. Winter weather can limit traction, putting the safety of drivers and their passengers in jeopardy. When possible, avoid driving in the snow, and steer clear of roads where ice and black ice are known to form. While such measures can greatly reduce your risk of being in an accident, you
likely can’t avoid driving entirely come the winter. Drivers who want improved traction from their tires throughout the winter can purchase winter tires for their vehicles. Such tires can more effectively handle roads that are covered in snow and ice than all-season tires. Another way to improve traction during the winter months is to constantly monitor tire pressure, which decreases more rapidly when the weather is cold. Properly inflated tires provide better traction and protect against damage that may occur when driving over potholes. * Consider a low-viscosity oil in the winter. The owner’s manual of your vehicle may recommend you use a lower viscosity motor oil to counter the dip in temperature that’s synonymous with winter. When the temperatures outside fall, the oil inside your vehicle thickens, and a thicker oil won’t circulate through the engine as well. This can cause engine problems because the engine won’t be adequately lubricated. A low-viscosity oil is naturally thinner, so it may improve lubrication throughout the winter. The vehicle owner’s manual should recommend oils based on climate. If not, talk to your mechanic about changing from the oil you use throughout the year to a low-viscosity alternative during the winter. * Inspect your vehicle before winter arrives. No one wants to be out on the road during the first snowstorm of the year only to discover certain components are not working properly. Belts and hoses, while
durable, can be put through strenuous battery inspected in late fall and replace it if it’s been buried somewhere other than conditions during the winter months, so a if need be. your driveway.

Different types of tires make a difference Drivers rarely think of the tires on their vehicles until they have a flat. But the type of tires on your vehicle can impact its performance. When choosing tires for their vehicles, drivers should consider a host of factors, including the terrain and driving conditions vehicles are likely to encounter. Understanding tires and what makes
some a better fit than others for certain vehicles can make for safe driving and improved handling.
are designed to be versatile enough to grip the road in various conditions. They are commonly made of a harder rubber that will not wear out quickly and will retain their tread. Most dayto-day driving can be done on all-season tires.
All-season tires The most common type of tire and arguably the best known is the standard all-season tire. Many vehicles come equipped with these tires, which

a softer rubber compared to standard tires, they will not last as long as allseason tires. Snow tires People who live in snowy, icy conditions will benefit from the use of snow tires. These tires are designed with special treads to offer more traction in slippery conditions. The rubber used to manufacture the tire can remain flexible even at extremely low temperatures. Winter tires are best reserved for extreme weather and not used all season long because they will wear out more quickly than others. They may not have the same level of traction on clear roads. In some cases, winter tires may have metal studs included to enhance traction in icy situations. People who do not want to switch tires when cold weather arrives sometimes invest in snow chains that improve traction on standard tires.
Mud Tires Muddy areas can be just as slippery as snowy conditions. Mud tires are designed similarly to snow tires but will have extra grooves and a tread pattern that facilitates movement of mud away from the tires and road. Mud tires may be wider than standard tires as well. Truck Tires Drivers of trucks or sport-utility vehicles often need special truck tires. These tires can better handle the weight and size of a larger vehicle. Many drivers stick with the type of tire that originally came with their truck. Drivers who like to go off-roading may need an all-terrain tire to offer more traction when climbing hills or traversing different conditions. It can be easy to overlook the importance of tires, but tires help vehicles remain on the road and can affect mileage, maneuverability and safety.
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between AWD and 4WD? Winter weather is just around the corner, leaving some drivers wondering if their two-wheeldrive vehicles can handle roads covered in snow and ice. Now is the time people flock to car and truck dealerships to trade in their cars for something with a little more power and traction and also to take advantage of end-of-season pricing. When faced with an array of vehicles boasting four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive, consumers often wonder about the differences between the two options or if there is any difference at all. Though similar, four-wheel-drive and all-wheeldrive are not quite the same. Four-wheel-drive systems, often referred to as 4WD, trace their origins to the late 1800s, while all-wheel-drive, or AWD, did not arrive until the late 1970s, when an AWD system was used on an Audi vehicle for rally racing. Now many cars and trucks come with 4WD or AWD, particularly crossovers and SUVs. Both drive systems engage all four wheels at the same time to provide more traction. On AWD systems, the powering of the wheels is automatic and usually handled by the electronic system of the car. Some vehicles drive in two-wheel-drive, but then engage AWD when sensors detect a need for more traction and maneuverability. When operating 4WD vehicles, drivers may have to manu-
ally engage the system. True 4WD uses a transfer case mounted by the rear of the transmission. A button or selector lever on older model SUVs would switch the vehicle from 2WD to 4WD. Unlike in AWD systems, the front and rear axles are locked together in 4WD systems. Four-wheel-drive systems are better for offroading, rock-climbing and driving through mud and water. Individuals who participate in many off-road recreational activities will find that 4WD, especially in vehicles with more gears, is more effective and provides better traction. All-wheeldrive provides stability, largely on roadways, and enables the vehicle to modify the level of power to either the front or rear wheels to improve traction as needed. All-wheel-drive is adequate for many drivers and situations. It is important to note that, on icy or slippery roads, neither AWD or 4WD systems assist with braking or completely prevent cars from skidding on slick surfaces. Having the ability to engage all four wheels at the same time should not be used as a replacement for cautious driving in inclement weather. Four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive both provide power to all four wheels on the vehicle but have subtle differences that make each better for certain driving conditions.

Fronts defeat the Wolves but fall to the Storm
Gazette Sports - The Kingston Frontenacs delighted their fans at the Rogers K-Rock Centre Oct. 11 with a huge win and a complete team effort defeating the Sudbury Wolves 10-1. The Frontenacs generated five goals in the first ten minutes, driving former Frontenac Frank Palazzese from the Sudbury net. With the exception of Warren Steele, who played a strong defensive game, all other Frontenac skaters had at least one point on the night. Sunday afternoon was a different story for the hometown boys, however, as the Frontenacs lost 9-3 to the Guelph Storm. It was their first loss in regulation time this season.

A GUIDE TO CULINARY HAPPENINGS AND SEASONAL FOOD
Kate Kristiansen
Spice it up Gazette Lifestyle – “Are you having $10 worth of fun, yet?” I often said to hubby. “No? Then let’s get outta here, ‘cause that’s how much the babysitter is costing is us.” As new parents, the associated costs of a babysitter plus dinner out became a gift we rarely allowed ourselves. These days, you can heat up your Saturday nights with dinner at Curry
Original. It’s located downtown Kingston at 253A Ontario Street, behind Chris James retail store. It’s a great restaurant for a delicious curry, and you can still afford the babysitter. We no longer require a babysitter as we are now wrangled as chauffers for little miss and her busy social life. Just the same, date night at Curry Original is always a must for a saucy favourite.

nous than ever before. I spook myself in the mirror most mornings, so after several warnings of where to meet us and to not separate from friends, hubby and I headed out for a quick bite until our taxi services were required. We enjoy the relaxed, elegant dining room of Curry Original. This is our regular date night location. Our very first date was at a Thai restaurant; you could say we’ve always had a hankering for spicing things up. As you are greeted by owners Weais or Ali Afzal upon entry, the rich spices will tweak your nose. It’s a great spot for a quick meal or to linger over the varieties of regional Indian dishes. We order the usual: mixed appetizer for one; rogan josh (extra hot for hubby) a classic lamb curry dish and chicken tikka masala (for me); smoky diced chicken cooked with yogurt, Dijon mustard, tomatoes, onions, red and green peppers. The ambiance of the limestone backdrop coupled with the aromas of India makes this one of my favourite places. The food is cooked using authentic Indian herbs and spices and fresh local and organic ingredients where possible. The spicy dishes are clearly labelled on the menu with chilli peppers beside the names. For those not too keen on the hot and fiery, there are several milder servings on the menu. The chicken korma is a delicious, creamy dish, more
sweet than spicy. Butter chicken and garlic chicken kebabs served with rice and salad are also good choices for those with a cautious palate. I recommend this place even if you fear the unknown. The helpful staff can assist you in making the right choice. Our meal gave me comfort as I faced the fact that we had just left our only daughter with several zombies in a haunted tomb. This whole independent teenager stuff gives me heartburn; thankfully, my meal didn’t. Reserve a table by calling Curry Original at 613-531-9376 for your next date night, or inquire about the party room for larger gatherings. They’re open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner and Sundays for dinner from 5 – 9 p.m. Visit www.curryorginal.ca for a full menu.
Fort Fright is overrun by zombies from now until November 2. Purchase your tickets online at forthenry.com. Tickets cost $15. Any questions or restaurant suggestions please email me at ladydinesalot@gmail.com. Follow me on Facebook or on my blog Ladydinesalot. com.

ENCHANTÉ
Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world
Mark Bergin
Nothing miserable about this brilliant singer of years. He’s done some shows at Selby’s Lennox Community Theatre. “Selby is everything theatre should be,” he said. “It’s fun, democratic and they take risks.” He’s noticed the same thing I have about Kingston: small-town politics and cliques play a big role in casting decisions in the community theatre scene. “Sometimes it’s too political,” he said. “A lot of shows are pre-cast, despite the fact that they hold auditions. If you have someone in mind already, why bother auditioning others. They need to keep it fresh and bring in new people. Hold true auditions.” Agreed. Why bother with the facade of auditions if you already have favorites? I’m not sure if most companies even realize they do this. I think they often just work with whom they’re familiar and don’t take the risk of involving new actors. Shawn’s words are a wake-up call. And he doesn’t bother with many auditions. He said he’d also like to see theat-

rical companies be more transparent, fair and democratic. “One thing I’ve always wanted to see in theatre in Kingston, and in general, if we’re doing volunteer productions, I’d like to see the finances and where the money is going,” he said. “As volunteers I think we’re owed this. And if some cast members are paid, everyone should be paid. That’s the fair way to do things. I don’t mind volunteering, but everyone should be treated equally.” Shawn grew up in Athens, Ontario and started singing in Grade 6. He then got involved in public school plays. He became a member of the Brockville Operatic Society and took voice lessons from the late Roger Tripp, a famous baritone. “He was larger than life,” said Shawn. He explained that as a child, he lived in the country and loved the outdoors. “I loved reading, but there were times when boredom forced me into a passion for music,” he said. “One time when my parents were away, I was sitting on the floor going through their recordings. They loved country, but I found a tape of Irish drinking songs. That

started it for me. It opened the floodgates to John McDermott, The Rankin Family, the Pogues, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen.” He attended Athens District High School and became involved with musical theatre. “I started loving plays and musicals,” he said. “I heard about Theatre Complete at QECVI.” Shawn enrolled in Theatre Complete and worked with Gord Love in 1997/98. “Gord has a very thoughtful theatre mind,” he said. “He dissects things.” When Shawn was a student of Theatre Complete, he went back and forth between musical theatre and performing at his own gigs. “There was a point where I realized I don’t like playing in bars and pubs,” he said. “After a while I just wanted to be heard. I started doing things in small theatre settings.” Shawn and his wife, Heather, love to travel. They honeymooned in Bali and have travelled through Ireland, England, Europe and Southeast Asia. He said Wales and Bulgaria are still on the bucket list. “And Russia,” he said. “For the music, architecture and the sheer confusing history.” These days the roles he accepts are not frequent. He and Heather have a
15-month-old, Fiona. Family’s important to him. Fiona’s already showing signs of her musical heritage. In addition to Shawn’s talent, Heather sings with the Cantabile Choir and Fiona’s maternal grandfather is Dr. Mark Sirett, Artistic Director of Cantabile Choirs of Kingston. That’s a solid musical family tree. “Fiona is obsessed with piano already,” said Shawn. “She loves sitting at the piano and banging the keys.” Last year, he considered involvement with the local production of Fiddler on the Roof, but with a threemonth-old at home, he could not commit to the rehearsal schedule. When Les Misérables came along, his daughter was a year older, and he couldn’t resist auditioning. It’s one of his most beloved shows. “I was offered the role of Javert and he’s an interesting guy to play,” he said. “He’s very tormented. That’s challenging.” And when Javert sang, he mesmerized the audience. There was no question about the role. This was a perfect fit for Shawn Barber. Believable and passionate, he captured Javert in a manner where many fall short. I’m hoping in the not too distant future Shawn will dive into some of his to-do theatre projects. “I’d like to take a director’s role with Jacques Brel,” he said. “That can be quite a powerful production, especially in a smaller venue.” He said he’d also like to direct Evita. “I’d do it more as a folk opera and peasant-oriented instead of in the grandiose style.” Shawn said that he and Heather plan to stay in this region.

Gazette Lifestyle - It’s exciting to hear a talented musician who catches me off guard. It happened recently at Bottletree Productions’ Les Misérables in Kingston. When Javert walked on stage, he owned it. I wasn’t used to hearing such a superb male voice in community theatre. It’s a rare commodity. A couple of women beside me screamed “Bravo!” after one of his solos. I asked if they knew him. They told me, “No, but he’s the best part of this show! He’s amazing.” So who was this wonderful singer and why hadn’t I seen or heard him before? His name’s Shawn Barber and after living in downtown Kingston for several years, he and his wife, Heather Sirett, moved to a small town east of Kingston. He’s well-versed in music and theatre. When we got together to chat, within seconds we were talking Celtic, especially Irish, Scottish and Welsh, music. He’s a huge Pogues fan. He has been involved in productions in Eastern Ontario every couple

Rueben deGroot explores new sound with latest album
Continued from page 28
Heritage Entertainment - Those who are familiar with local musician Rueben deGroot’s music will notice a bit of a change in the style of his latest album, Rocket Surgery. deGroot’s signature country-blues fusion has taken on a simpler sound under producer Zane Whitfield. “It’s a lot more stripped back,” deGroot explains. “Pine was our last record, which I produced myself. There were a lot of horns and things like that, and the songs varied a lot. Zane really stripped it down to vocals and a simple band behind it.” It feels great, he says, to explore this new side to his music. “I think it’s the best project I’ve been a part of so far – the thing I’m most proud of. I’m always up for changing something in the process to try and get a better result and make a better album.” All of the songs on Rocket Surgery were either written or co-written by deGroot. “I try to bring a new twist to the [writing] process for every song,” he says. “That could be working with a different co-writer, which changes everything, to developing [a new] character. It’s a lot about developing a character for a three minute song, like a short movie or something.” One song on the album, Little Wonder, was written about deGroot’s young son. “That was the first song I wrote for one of my boys,” he says. “It was a new inspiration to draw from, so that was cool. A new inspiration makes an entirely different song.” Playing with new musicians also
“Family is really important,” he said. “Both sides of the family are amazing and helpful. We like being close to them.” He does hope to be more involved with theatre as Fiona gets older. Although he certainly received numerous accolades for his Les Mis role, that’s not his goal. “I need to be challenged more,” he said. “I don’t want to hear that I’m fabulous. I want to work hard and be pushed. The best director I had in high school was Gord Love. He pushed and pushed but was consistent and thoughtful.” What’s in the immediate future? “I’d like to do a recording in the next year and
do concerts to promote that,” he said. He’d also like to find time to write more songs and poetry. He admires some local actors, especially Len Whalen. “I met him doing Jesus Christ Superstar in 2005,” he said. “We’ve maintained a friendship. He’s a really nice man and very talented. He should be doing more theatre.” I’d say the same thing about Shawn Barber. If you hear of him performing in any musical theatre productions or concerts in the region, don’t miss an opportunity to hear him. Professional-level male singers are few and far between. Shawn operates at a pro level. You won’t be disappointed.

has a significant impact on the sound of the album and the songs on it. The band on Rocket Surgery was put together by Whitfield, in keeping with the vision he had for the album, and deGroot had not played with them previously. “It was fun being in the room with people who had never played the songs with me live and had never played with me before,” he says. “Everything was really fresh the entire time. “My influences are all the similar stuff – the country, blues and songwriter rock that I come from. But then there are all these other guys. Dan Cutrona, the keyboard player has very much a ‘70s cool jazz vibe. Eli [Abrams] plays bass and was [previously] a country upright bass player. It was a surprise every song what would happen.” Continued on page 30

Rueben deGroot explores new sound with latest album Continued from page 29
deGroot moved to Kingston from Vancouver six years ago, and indeed he notes that the musical talent here is remarkable for a city this size. “I love it,” he says. “The players are just as good as anywhere and it’s small enough that everybody knows everybody. It’s great for if you have a project you’re working on and you’re missing a part – a good bass drummer or a good country bass player – there’s always one of everything.” And residents of deGroot’s new hometown will have the first opportunity to hear songs
from Rocket Surgery played live. The album’s official CD release party is being held Nov. 1 at the Renaissance, beginning at 8 p.m. Admission is $25, which includes a copy of the CD and some catered snacks. The band Buffalo Tree, which also has a new album out, will open. deGroot notes that it feels great to have completed an album he is so proud of, and that the creative juices are already flowing for his next project. “I’m ready to do the next thing,” he says. “We already did some demos for the next album, which will also be engineered by Zane.” For more information, visit Rueben deGroot’s Facebook page.
