Changes coming to Central Frontenac commercial tipping fees By Craig Bakay Reporter

The passion of movement Pg. 13

Gazette News — Tipping fees at Central Frontenac waste disposal sites will be rising, but it’s unlikely the average ratepayer will notice any change as the rate hikes are geared towards commercial users. Waste management supervisor Kyle Labbett unveiled his proposed package at Central Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. At the urging of Coun. Frances Smith, the package was deferred for two meetings to allow for public input. (The proposal is on the Township website, under the agenda package section as an addendum to the agenda.)

“It’s been 15 years since there was a major overhaul to the tipping fees,” said Labbett. “In the past, there was no consistency, every load was given a number. “Now it will be based on a cubic yard.” Labbett said the new fees are “designed to create even pricing no matter what the load that comes in to the waste site.” Smaller loads (such as the back of a pick-up truck) that do not allow waste to pack itself or bulk up will be charged at a rate of $12.50 per cubic yard, he said. Larger loads from dump trucks and rolloff bins where loads are packed in are charged at a rate of $25 per cubic yard. He said part of the impetus for the change has been the practice of putting

higher sides on trailers. Under the new system, a standard trailer would have two-foot sides and be 5.5 feet wide. “If someone comes in with a trailer with four-foot sides, the tipping fee would be double,” he said. Public Works Manager Mike Richardson said that while the Township doesn’t accept large demolition materials (such as the high school) because they are too big for the limited space the Township has, there have been incidents where waste material has come in from outside the Township, something he’d like to stop. “Big loads tend to be commercial,” Richardson said. “Our tipping fees have been much lower than our neighbours’ and by matching our neighbours’ prices,

it should mean we won’t be getting loads from our neighbours. “I’ve been fighting that for 20 years.” Some councilors expressed concerns that raising prices might be an impediment to business, but Richardson had an answer to that. “There’s a reason a big truck is hired to haul away a load,” he said. “The reason is there is money being made so I wouldn’t be afraid of those big prices.” Coun. John Purdon, who is also a member of the waste management committee, was all in favour of the changes. “I support it,” he said. “If people are paying big prices to dispose of used building materials, it may encourage people to recycle.”

An evening of poetry comes to the Mill Street Café mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Events – The Mill Street Café in Sydenham is exactly what a café should be – a small, warm space, with art by local artists lining the walls, perfect for community gatherings and poetry readings. The café is run by Pat Dawson, her husband and daughter and came about as an extension to their ever-growing catering and food delivery business, Desert Lake Gardens. “The café is just one aspect of what we do,” said Dawson. “We do, primarily, food deliveries. So we distribute food that we grow ourselves in our garden and we amalgamate it with other local food that we get from distributors. We work with local meat producers and cheese producers and then we produce things in our kitchen that get distributed as well. We distribute the raw ingredients but we also do prepared soups and meals. We also do off site catering, parties and weddings and events for places throughout the community, so that keeps us pretty busy.” The Mill Street Café is open for lunch during the week and Saturdays during the summer months, but in the off season Dawson and her family try to host events on Saturday nights when possible. “The café is this wonderful addition to what we do. We try to plan a few events before Christmas and this is the first one we have planned. An event takes a bunch of extra work so we generally try to space them out and we look for outside groups that want to do the planning, which is the case with this event.” Brent Raycroft approached Dawson about an evening of poetry - a first for the café, but an idea that Dawson was definitely open to, especially if he wanted to plan it. “We are always open to different community events and different artists too,” said Dawson. “We love having the visual interest with the art on the walls and we like rotating it as well, but we also love the interactive events too. We have this lovely space that is underutilized so we encourage people to use it as much as possible.”

Raycroft is a resident of Sydenham, a regular at the café and a poet himself. He was most recently nominated for the 2013 Walrus Poetry Prize. He has planned this evening of poetry and verse, on Saturday Nov. 2, featuring himself and two other writers/performers. Roger Dorey, a blues singer/songwriter/poet and Jeanette Lynes, author most recently of Archive of the Undressed and this year’s writer-in-residence for the Kingston Writersfest will perform

some of their own work for those in attendance. Admission to the event is free, but a donation jar for the café will be present and Dawson encourages people to come for dinner beforehand. “We will be offering dinner before and we are suggesting that people who want to do dinner and the poetry reading reserve for 8 p.m. People are welcome to come

just for the event. We are fully licensed, which is a plus, and the evening will just be a nice laid back, enjoyable experience. It is a nice cozy space so I think it will lend itself well to this type of event. The art also adds to the ambiance of the space too.” Dawson is sure that the event will be a success and hopes that more events of this kind will come about in the future.

“We are always busy in our other projects, but the café could be used for more events and we hope to grow that in the years to come.” An Evening of Poetry with a Measure of Music takes place at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Mill Street Café in Sydenham, 4400 Mill Street.

Central Frontenac Council Already strained Wolfe considers adding signage to Island ferry service CIP for community groups takes a hit… By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Township is looking at how eligibility for the Community Improvement Funds (CIP) for Sharbot Lake might be expanded, following a somewhat slow beginning to the program. The Sharbot Lake CIP is the second undertaken by Frontenac County (Verona being the first) and unlike its southern counterpart, there hasn’t been much usage. To date, only $5,395 of the $80,000 fund has been accessed, by two local businesses. Both grants went towards signage. Dep. Clerk Cathy MacMunn said that she’s been approached by the Villages Beautiful committee, who would like to access the fund for their signage projects. MacMunn said she’s talked with Peter Young at the County and they’re looking so see if the project might be allowed under the program. “I’ve also heard from the churches regarding signage and the Railroad Heritage Society would also like to promote their display,” she said. The concept of using the fund for signage was not lost on Council. “The Verona Community Association has signs at either end of the hamlet so that got me thinking that maybe Sharbot Lake should be looking at something similar,” said Coun. John Purdon. ••• Although the Multi-Use Cultural Centre committee has allocated funding towards blocking off the trail that runs from the government docks to the

beach in Sharbot Lake, no construction has been done and it seems there may be growing opposition to the idea. In a letter to Council, resident Chris Baer outlined his disapproval. “I was extremely displeased to read the article in the Oct. 3 Frontenac Gazette wherein there are plans to block off the trail to cars and trucks by the placement of boulders and/or gates,” he wrote. “As a frequent user of these trails, I can say that nothing conveys a stronger message than even a partial blockage of a trail with any type of obstruction, the message being ‘go back, you are not welcome here.’” Baer went on to suggest the funds might better be used by upgrading the flagpoles at the beach. However, he wasn’t the only one not totally enamored with the idea of blocking off the trail. When asked what work had been done, Public Works Manager Mike Richardson replied “we haven’t done any work because of the comments we’ve received.” Richardson did say that any plans would include bollards, not boulders but when Coun. Frances Smith asked when the last time the Township put any gravel on the trail was, Richardson’s real concern came out. “Nothing has been added in the five years I’ve been here,” he said. “We did grade it once but that was under protest. “The way it is now, if we touch it, it’s our road.” However, Coun. Norm Guntensperger said he wasn’t opposed to the concept of blocking the trail to cars and trucks. “I feel there are a lot of places cars can go and perhaps there should be an area where cars aren’t welcome,” he said.

EMC news- Users of the Wolfe Island ferry service were recently advised of changes to the policy regarding the carrying of Dangerous Goods According to the notice issued by MTO, the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act requires that dangerous goods in bulk quantities may only be transported to and from Wolfe Island on designated Dangerous Goods trips. On these voyages no passengers other than the operators of the mobile units carrying the dangerous goods will be permitted aboard the ferry. So, as of October 25th , MTO’s policy changed. Dangerous Goods Trips take place on Tuesdays and Fridays: From Kingston at 06:15 AM and from Wolfe Island at 2:30 PM. No passengers, will be allowed on the 2:30 pm trip from Wolfe Island on dangerous goods trip days. The operators of empty but un-purged mobile units that previously carried dangerous goods (over to the island) will be permitted to make the return trip. “We heard a few days ago that MTO is required by Transport Canada to put these regulations in place, Frontenac Islands Mayor Doyle said. “This order comes in the wake of the terrible Lac Megantic train accident in Quebec. MTO was given no choice in the matter.” he said adding that

Durham Furniture

the entire regulation, as it also pertains other substances classed a dangerous goods will be posted on the Township of Frontenac Islands web site, on the ferry and in Marysville. According to the notice on regular ferry trips, small quantities of substances classed as dangerous goods may be carried in compliance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations:. They include gasoline, medical oxygen and propane , all to be in appropriate regulation containers, in specific amounts, properly secured. (Foot passengers are not allowed to carry gasoline on board). For questions about the policy and other products, please refer to Transport Canada Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations prior to contacting the ferry terminal (613 548 7227). Obviously it will be hard to get one’s head around the regulation and the further loss of capacity on the ferry. According to long time Islanders the ferry has carried dangerous goods and passengers at the same time for years . Considering the wait times during the summer season and all holidays, it is hard to accept even though it is understandable… On a happy note, work continues at the rink, footings are poured for the setting of poles to hold a roof over it. There is excitement in the air after a very successful October Festival and winter is in the air…

Such was the case recently when the riding their bikes. But there is the overall mission of raising funds for Arden Legion was one of their stops. “We started out at the Legion in worthy causes. “We pick a different charity every Collins Bay, went to Tweed, Arden, then Sharbot Lake, Westport and year,” he said. “One year, it was the back home to Kingston,” said Drifter, Arden Legion itself when they were in himself a member at 560 Branch in bad shape and needed a new roof.” This year, the chosen charity was Kingston. “It’s just something my wife the Canadian Association for Disabled Sherry and I like to do.” He said they had 80 registered Skiing, and while not specifically targeted towards ex-service personnel, CADS does do a lot of work with military members injured in the line of duty. “They put on a ski clinic Junk removal by the pound! every year in Calabogie,” he The first 350 lbs for said. “They make skiing accessible to disabled vets. “They bring in Bins Available $129.95 special equipment — sit-skis, harnesses, etc. — 613-331-JUNK (5865) and we try to help offset the cost of www.getyourjunkout.com

going. “And once they’ve done it once, they’re back every year.” Drifter said perhaps the greatest benefit of the program is simply to get disabled veterans out of their basements. “Let me put it this way,” he said. “If you’ve had a couple of legs blown

off, you’ve got Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. “A lot of these vets didn’t want to come out in the first place and only did it because their therapist told them to. “But then it’s wonderful to see their change in attitude.” For more information on CADS, visit disabledskiing.ca.

Bedford Open Mic bellies up with contribution for heating/cooling system By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Anyone who’d stepped up to the mic in Gledower (Bedford) Hall in recent summers knew all too well one escapable fact about the old hall — it got hot and muggy in there, especially when filled with country music fans. But hopefully that situation has been rectified now that South Frontenac Township, urged along by an army of pickers, grinners and advocates, has sunk $50,000 into a heating/cooling system that will bring the old former schoolhouse into the 21st Century, at least as far as the temperature and humidity inside is concerned. Last weekend, at a regular Open Mic session, the BEEP committee, made up mostly of musicians, presented the Township with a cheque for $4,000, which was raised through raffle tickets and share-the-wealth sales. “I’m very proud of our group and the way we’ve been able to work with Bedford Rec and needless to say South Frontenac Township,” said Joan Shepherd, who along with husband, Roy, was instrumental in the first Open Mics, back when they were held in the smaller Piccadilly Hall. “I don’t think there was any ‘head’ of the committee, it was just made up of people from the jam and Velma Young and Joanne Abrams went around selling tickets. “Now it’s time to just relax and listen

to the music — unless we get another cause down the road.” South Frontenac Coun. Pat Barr, who officially accepted the cheque on behalf of the Township, said “we’re very pleased to have you using and fixing the building.” Barr, a lifelong resident of the area, said although she didn’t go to the hall when it was a school, she did remember when it became a hall “sometime in the early ’70s. “The kitchen was done a couple of years ago and now with the heating and cooling taken care of, it’s become a really nice facility.” All of those involved in the retrofit of the old hall said it couldn’t have been done without the efforts of South Frontenac Facilities Coordinator Jamie Brash, whom Barr said managed to get a “reasonable price” for the job. For his part, Brash downplayed his efforts but did acknowledge that the job became more and more complicated the deeper they got into it. “You may think that $50,000 is a bit expensive but it wasn’t just the heating/ cooling unit, there was all the duct work and the preparation work,” he said. “We had to work with the actual building itself and one of the biggest problems we faced was getting the electrical capacity. “But once we got that done, we managed to produce a very efficient system with the heat pump and one with less maintenance because of the propane backup. “It’s a nice system.”

Joan Shepherd, Velma Young, Joanne Abrams and their Bedford Open Mic BEEP (Bedford Environmental Energy Program) committee compatriots presented South Frontenac Council and Bedford Rec Committee representatives with a $4,000 cheque at an Open Mike session last weekend to go towards the new $50,000 heating and cooling system in Glendower Hall.

Hamburgers and chicken wings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be a better way Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You know how chicken wings sort of became a go-to junk food? See, the thing is, chicken wings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that great. It used to be that chicken wings were really cheap. You could get a slew of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em for next to nothing and that was because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that much meat on them and what is there is hardly breast or thigh fare. Then, some guy in Buffalo thought about covering them in barbecue sauce and selling them for next to nothing in bars. The barbecue sauce made them palatable and again . . . they were cheap. Along comes corporate America and observes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;gee, people are eating these chicken wings.â&#x20AC;? They, as they usually do, did some wonky thinking and wrongly concluded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;gee, people must like chicken wings.â&#x20AC;? See, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really the wings people like, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that they were really cheap and

you could probably sell a cardboard box covered in barbecue sauce if it were cheap enough. But no, corporate America had to jump on the bandwagon, approach it as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d found something really valuable (and of course promote it that way) and the next thing you know, chicken wings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap any more. Essentially, corporate America found a way to sell crap and make people think it was a good thing. This, of course, happens all the time. Take hamburgers for example. When I was a kid (before there was McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or even A & W for that matter), I wanted a hamburger mostly because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Wimpy on the old Popeye cartoons ate. He ate them because they were cheap. My father wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat hamburgers because he said they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;ersatz.â&#x20AC;? Ersatz being a German word for â&#x20AC;&#x153;substituteâ&#x20AC;? which was frequently applied to the stuff prisoners of war were fed in the First World War. Often it was made from potato starch and sawdust. Now nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accusing the good folks in the hamburger industry of sell-

ing sawdust, but think about it. Does tenderloin or T-bone ever get ground up into hamburger? Granted there have been ill-advised attempts to grind up sirloin and charge an arm and a leg for it, but essentially hamburger ends up being all the stuff nobody wanted otherwise being ground up and forced through a Play-Doh machine. But, somebody figured out that if you shaped this stuff into a patty, fried the hell out it, put it between two thick pieces of bread and added a bunch of sauces, it could be quite palatable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not gourmet fare mind you, but palatable. Again, the major attraction was price. You could get a pile of ground meat for next to nothing and sell it for a little bit more than you paid for it if you made a hamburger out of it. And, just the same, corporate America wrongly concluded that people really like these things, promoted the hell out of them and ended up making hamburgers cost as much as real food. So, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not take this any more. Stop paying for hamburger and chicken wings what you would pay for steak and breasts. The world will be a better place.

Arnprior Gazette ColumnChronicle-Guide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I never really

liked cats. I was always a dog lover growing up and although we had two cats I was never overly fond of them. All of that changed a few years ago when my husband, Korey and I decided to get a cat. He originally belonged to Koreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, but she decided that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him. He was found in a barn and was the cutest little black ball of fur, but nobody else was willing to take him. He was facing a trip to the humane society when we decided to step in. We named him Einstein and I fell in love with him almost immediately.

that the humane society actually screens adopters more heavily around Halloween in fear that the cats are being adopted for the holiday and mistreated. I find this appalling. In ads posted online, black cats are listed with a plea for people to look past the color of their fur and embrace them. Humane societies and shelters even go as far as having special sales (not around Halloween) on black cat adoptions in an effort to get them into homes and out of shelters. The discrimination even extends to black dogs, for whatever reason. The superstition surrounding black cats varies and is primarily a North American cultural belief. In Great Britain, Scotland and Japan black cats are thought to be good luck and in some cases are even considered signifiers of prosperity. In Germany, some believe that a black cat crossing your path from right to left is bad DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES

Safe travels to all ghouls and goblins on Halloween Gazette Editorial - Did you know that the practice of trick or treating in North America can be traced back to our very own Limestone City? Ritualized door-to-door begging by children in disguises was first recorded here in 1911, predating all other mentions of the practice across Canada and the U.S. It is thought that trick or treating may be derived from the medieval practice of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;soulingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the morning of All Souls Day (Nov. 2), where the poor would go from house to house and promise prayers for the familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recently departed in exchange for food or money. There are also reports of American children begging from door-to-door on both Guy Fawkes Day before the American Revolution, and, later, on Thanksgiving. We would like to remind our readers that times have changed quite a bit since then, and certain precautions are necessary before venturing out into that great spooky darkness:

2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9)

First and foremost, one should always go trick-or-treating with an adult or a friend. The Kingston Police Force advises treat-or-treaters who do not go with an adult should draw two maps of their planned route, giving one to their guardians and keeping ones for themselves. Wear light coloured clothing so that motorists and others can see you. Bring a Flashlight, and make sure to have new batteries. Try your best to stay on the sidewalk. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic so you can see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming. If you wear a mask, make sure it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t restrict your vision too much. Take the mask off when crossing the street or at intersections. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat any treats until a parent or guardian has inspected them. Be home at a reasonable time. This varies depending upon the age, but any time after 9 p.m. is pushing it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter homes. Stay on the porch or front stoop where your parents or guardians can see you. If you are approached by a stranger, head to any lighted house and ask them to contact your parents or the police.

Heeding these words of advice will ensure a safe and happy All Hallows Eve for all. Happy Halloween from all of us at the The Heritage and Gazette!

Black Cat Love Cats are a totally different experience when you are an adult. Yes they are cute and cuddly and fun to play with, but they are also extremely intelligent and insightful, traits that kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully understand or respect. It still amazes me sometimes how clever and curious he is. Shortly after Einstein joined our little family, I became aware of the mistreatment of black cats. I thought the myths of black cats being bad luck and evil were ancient history, but I was wrong. There are still many people who are superstitious about black cats and the humane society struggles each year to get black cats adopted. As a result, they are often the most commonly euthanized kind of cat. With Halloween upon us, I decided to do more research into this ridiculous form of discrimination. I learned that the superstitions are still so prevalent

In Our Opinion

luck but from left to right good luck. In North America, black cats are still thought to be associated with witches and evil doings. As with everything, beliefs vary by country and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as someone who is not superstitious at all - in fact, my first date with Korey was on a Friday the 13th - I simply do not understand the rationale behind the discrimination against these beautiful animals. Einstein is affectionate and friendly, just like any other cat, but because of the colour of his fur he could have

been overlooked at a shelter or worse, maybe even euthanized. With the movement away from pets being sold in pet stores and adoption of pets from shelters becoming the new norm, I hope that black cats will also get the positive attention they deserve. They are just as lovable as orange or white catsâ&#x20AC;Ś maybe even more so. So this Halloween, if you see a black cat, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run away or react with horror, think about them as another feline friend that deserves the same kind of love and attention you would give to any other cat.

Wladziu Valentino Liberace brought entertainment to the stage at a level at which it had never before been seen. David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, Elvis Presley’s rhinestones, Elton John’s sunglasses, Marc Bolan’s (T-Rex) boa, and even Lou Reed’s Holly, the one who “came from Miami FLA”, were all influenced by Liberace. They raised some eyebrows. But can you imagine the heat Liberace had to take as he draped himself in dazzling outfits and fur capes. The flash sometimes masked the underlying talent. Liberace was born in 1919 in Wisconsin. A child prodigy on the piano, at the age of seven he started studies at the Wisconsin College of Music.

By the time he was 16, he’d appeared as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He hosted his own TV variety show in the 1950s and again in 1969. He sold multi-millions of records and performed regularly in Las Vegas. Liberace discovered that combining classical music and contemporary pop songs in his performances had a broad appeal. Liberace died in 1987 at his home in Palm Springs, California. “He had recently completed eight soldout shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York,” said Jackson. Brian Jackson created his tribute program about 15 years ago. He’s performed it solo and with symphonies and orchestras. “Liberace was the highest paid entertainer in the world

from the 1950s to the 1970s,” he said. “Even higher than Sinatra. Besides, he was a classically trained pianist. His technique was phenomenal. He was made fun of, first for the single name, Liberace, and then after the two court cases.” One of the court cases involved a magazine’s derogatory description of Liberace. The other involved palimony for a male. Tongues wagged and media hounds drooled for the sensationalist stories. All of it was very sad, for Liberace wanted his private life left private. “His private life should have been left alone,” said Jackson. “That’s what the word is about, being private. The poor man had to lie about his gay lifestyle. He already felt condemned. Growing up as a kid in England, Continued on page 11

I guess I hero-worshipped him. He was doing command performances for the Royal Family. He could play anything on piano. He introduced America to people like Grieg, Chopin and Liszt.” Jackson saw Liberace perform at the O’Keefe Centre in Toronto. “When I heard him play in Toronto he was flawless. He didn’t drop a note. I saw him two nights in a row.” Jackson said he was so moved and impressed by Liberace that he doesn’t want anyone to forget him. “He had such a sad ending to his life,” he said. “The press wanted to know everything. They literally hijacked his body from Palm Springs to L.A. They wanted to say that he hadn’t died of a heart attack. It came out that he died of pneumonia as a result of AIDS. Thankfully, people like Elizabeth Taylor came out and was incredibly supportive and said, ‘This is a terrible disease and we’re going to fight it.’ She was willing to put her name on the line.” In preparation for his tribute, Jackson talked to Liberace’s brother and his sisterin-law, and visited the museum in Las Vegas. He got permission from the family to do the tribute, agreeing that he wouldn’t act as an impersonator. The family told Brian he could even use some of the sparkly costumes in his show. He’s performing in Bath to support the community. “I lost my partner three years ago,” he said. “Bath is a wonderful, supportive place. I’m very grateful to the community and like to do the tribute here to help out. Bath is a secret little place that people don’t know about.” Brian Jackson was born in England, and after graduation from university he worked for the BBC. While at school, he even had the opportunity to work and act with John Cleese of Monty Python and Harry Potter fame. “After two and a half years, my career wasn’t advancing as fast as it should have. At the BBC I realized I was working on the wrong side of the glass. My parents had spent a lot on my education and one is impatient at the age of 22. I came to Canada and didn’t even have a job.” He took a position with a church in Peterborough. One day he filled in conducting a symphony performance. “I had a day’s notice,” he said. “The day after, they made me the music director.” Brian Jackson is no stranger to Canadian stages. He has served as conductor with a number of orchestras and has conducted the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra and Vancouver Symphony. He served as Principal Pops Conductor of the Victoria Symphony for 17 seasons. He moved to Bath to fulfill a dream. “Denis, my partner, always wanted to build a house on the water,” he said. “This land came up in Bath and we had our place. I walk down five steps from the music room to the water.” Nowadays, in semi-retirement, Brian says he still likes conducting and he’d like to get back to writing. He’s completed four musicals, three of which have been

performed. “I may go back and start to edit them to try to get them performed outside the province.” He’s working on a show in Quebec about the Spitfire aircraft. “It’s about the women who ferried the new planes to air bases,” he said. “From there men flew them into battle. But it was women who flew them there in the first place.” In the new year, he hopes to travel to Australia. “I will be 70 in December, so I’m cutting down on my travels,” he said. “I grew up by the sea in England. I just love the beaches of Australia, and Sydney has the opera. It’s an amazing place. Visiting Australia is like going to another planet.” Sally McCulloch, one of the Bath event organizers, explained that they’ve hosted similar programs in the past. “We’ve done this (Tribute to Liberace) before,” she said. “Brian is so talented and so generous with his time. We did the first one when his partner was still alive. It’s been a huge success. We’re very fortunate to have Brian in the community.” At the upcoming Tribute to Liberace, Brian Jackson will perform, as Liberace did, with a grand piano and candelabra. Doors open at 6 p.m. on Nov. 16. Drinks and gourmet finger foods will be served at 6:30 p.m. and the performance starts at 7:30 p.m. There will also be a live auction on a number of items and packages. The performance is co-sponsored by the Fairfield Gutzeit Society and the Bath Community Revitalization Committee. Tickets are $50 and can be reserved by calling Virginia Thompson at 613-3525168.

Escape Plan should have been made in 1980s Mark Haskins

My Take

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Arts – It’s hard to believe Escape Plan wasn’t made in the ’80s. Back then fans would have lined up in droves to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the same film, but I suppose it’s better late than never.

Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) makes his living by breaking out of prisons. He’s the leading authority in structural security. In fact he wrote the book on it. As such he gets hired to go into a prison as a prisoner, finds the prison’s weak points, exploits them, and then breaks out. Normally Ray and his team work within the system, but the CIA needs Ray to test a new facility. It’s run by a private corporation, in a secret location, and it holds the worst of the worst criminals in the world. There are no trials, no parole and as far as the public is concerned it doesn’t exist. Despite his better judgment Ray agrees to the job, but soon after he’s picked up he realizes his mistake. He’s drugged, blindfolded, and taken to the secret prison. When he comes to the warden,

MOVIE: Escape Plan STARRING: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Amy Ryan, Vinnie Jones and Jim Caviezel DIRECTOR: Mikael Hafstrom RATING: 14A

Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) isn’t the man Ray was told was the warden, and Hobbes has no idea who Ray really is. Lied to, betrayed, Ray is trapped in a high tech prison that was built by someone who has read his book frontwards and backwards. The only person willing to help him is a fellow prisoner named Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Together they might be able to find out how to escape. It’s the ultimate escape artist versus the ultimate prison. Escape Plan isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The story is actually pretty clever. Stallone’s character, Ray, is a genius when it comes to solving a very particular kind of puzzle – that of breaking out of prisons. The secret prison he’s taken to, called The Tomb, is the ultimate puzzle, and it is interesting to see how he solves it. In order to get Ray into The Tomb you have to be willing to overlook a few plot points that don’t make sense, but I guess the important thing is that Ray gets in the Tomb. The other reason to see this film is to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger together. A lot of fans have wanted to see this team up for a long

time. Of course some might say it should have happened 30 years ago, but even so, these guys are still fun to watch. There’s a competitive edge to their chemistry, but it works. Amy Ryan, 50 Cent, Sam Neil and Vinnie Jones round out the rest of the cast nicely. I especially enjoyed seeing Jim Caviezel in the role of Hobbes. There is something about Caviezel that makes him the perfect arrogant villain. Escape Plan has been a long time coming. It wasn’t exactly worth the wait, but it wasn’t terrible either.

The passion of movement Continued from page 13

I pay attention to what my body is feeling and what it wants to do.” Helana thinks Kingston has become an exciting place to live. “It’s a great place to be an artist,” she said. “There’s a lot of talent at the school (Kingston School of Dance) right now. And I’m looking at participating in a web series created by a friend,

John Wasson. It’s called Break Room and will be directed by Brent Nurse. It’s a series of short episodes. It’s funny and quirky and I get to be a villain. I’ve never been a villain before.” She also likes cabaret and finds it balances some of her other dance work. “A lot of times when I dance, it’s about pain, sadness or anguish,” she said. “When I do cabaret, all

of a sudden it’s fun.” She has some advice for anyone of any age who wants to dance: “I hear so many people say, ‘I couldn’t do that; I’m not a dancer.’ Or I’ve heard people say, ‘I’d love to do that, but I have no talent.’ That drives me up the wall. I hate hearing that. If dance isn’t your thing, that’s fine. But if you want to dance, it really is about a freedom with your body that I don’t know how to get otherwise. It’s an absolute freedom. If you want to dance, Choreographer/dancer Helana Marks rehearses at Kingston School of Dance Photo/Mark Bergin just dance.” She said that she’s always Every time there’s a family to avoid strenuous conditions, but been surrounded function, my auntie will drag you she kept dancing.

Kate Kristiansen

Addicted To The Drink Gazette Lifestyle – Hello, my name is Kate and I’m an addict. A coffee addict that is. Nothing beats a good cup of coffee. The bold, roasting smell is pure joy. I would even argue that one doesn’t even have to be a coffee drinker to love the aroma of this intoxicating brew. I am not much of drip coffee fan, although my friend Lesli would hook herself up intravenously to draw in the dark rich drug. A night shift worker, no matter the hour you will find Lesli with a cup of hot black goodness. Coffee in all its forms is my drug of choice. At home, I have a Keurig machine to help me savor the freshness of brewing a perfect cup every time. Whether Tassimo or Keurig, the trend has flourished for these easy-

to-use machines. I can now choose from hundreds of varieties. I like to shop at Coffee Trends for their individual servings called K-Cups. It’s a retail store conveniently located at 772 Blackburn Mews, corner of Gardiners Rd and Taylor Kidd Blvd. You can choose up to 24 mixed singleservings or boxed coffee matches for approximately $13.95. Upon arrival, pick up the easy to use round paddle with holes to fit each choice. This helpful tool makes it easy to carry your K-cups as you shop. Allow yourself time to wander through the aisle, exploring and choosing which coffee you’d like to try. Coffees are arranged according to roast – dark, medium etc. Make your choices and take them to the counter to package them to go. While browsing, you can enjoy a free cof-

fee and sample before you buy. On my first visit I selected (almost) one of each. I went home, taste-tested and judged each against the other. Yes, I am that pathetic. I am picky about my coffee; so sue me. I couldn’t imagine anything being better than an espresso until I discovered their dark roast 100 per cent Brazilian Gold coffee. It’s delicious, with the well-known kick-inthe-butt effect of an espresso. I only need to drink one a day to keep me primed. The coffee grounds removed from their pouches post-use are biodegradable. However, I must dispel the myth that once the plastic cup is free from waste and cleaned it can be placed in your general recycling. The City of Kingston advises that the cups themselves are made from mixed material and get caught in their conveyor belts. This is an issue experienced widely. Therefore, the K-cups themselves are not recyclable. Don’t get me wrong, the environment is an important issue for me. But, I am an

addict, so will it make me stop from window, fist tightly grasping this drinking my beloved coffee? No. magnificent brew. This means I will challenge them to My name is Kate.

Diagnosing a leaky car ing your vehicle can help you determine what’s behind the leak. A clear, slippery liquid under the seats may be indicative of a leak in the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid is a liquid used in the braking system to apply hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the calipers to the pads against the wheel drums. If you discover brake fluid, check the master cylinder or the clutch master cylinder to see if there is a leak or spillover of the fluid. Coolant also can leak under the dashboard and into the foot wells of a car. Coolant is a sticky, green and sweetsmelling fluid, and a coolant leak could mean that a heater core or hose in the cooling system is leaking. In such instances, hoses may need to be replaced. Some vehicles have water diverters on the sides of their windshields to make sure water flows off of the windshield when the wipers are in use. Also, the trough where the wipers rest should have a sealant that prevents water from entering at the base of the windshield. Over time, both can wear out and may need to be replaced and resealed. Try sitting in the car on a dry day and spraying a hose on the windshield. See if any water eventually makes it inside of the car. If it does, the windshield is likely

the reason your vehicle’s interior is getting wet. A clogged drain in a vehicle’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system is one of the more common causes of interior water damage. If the drain is clogged, condensation from the system cannot drain from the tube. In such instances, water backs up into the system and can actually blow out of the car vents or elsewhere in the vehicle, forming a pool on the floor of the car. Leaves or debris can cause a blockage. If excess water is left in the HVAC system, it can damage the blower motor. Also, a faulty seal that is located between the HVAC case and the firewall of the vehicle may cause water to leak into the passenger compartment under the carpet. In some cases, cleaning blocked drains in a vehicle’s HVAC system may be as simple as blowing compressed air through the vents or using a wire to clear out leaves or dirt. Other times it may be hard to access the leaks, and such instances are often best left to a mechanic. The causes of leaks in a car are not always so easy to diagnose. But it is important to figure out where the water is coming from early on to minimize the damage water can do to your vehicle. PRICE MATC GUARANTE H E

Very often drivers find that the seats or the mats below their feet are damp or downright sopping wet. But unless a window or sunroof was left open during a rainstorm, drivers may find it difficult to decipher why their vehicles are suddenly soaked. Unfortunately, when a vehicle’s interior is wet, that could be a sign of a significant problem, one that can gradually worsen over time. Wetness can cause electrical components or metal structures in the car to rot, and a soggy interior may eventually be overcome by mold. It is best to find out what is causing the leak as soon as possible and have the problem fixed just as quickly. Finding the source of a leak is not always easy. Sometimes drivers can locate it themselves and then fix the problem on their own, while more serious problems might need to be handled by a professional. But it is best to assess the situation before booking an appointment with your mechanic. Cars can spring a leak for a variety of reasons. Leaks from systems under the hood, as well as rainwater or water from washing the car, can infiltrate the interior if seals around doors and/or windows are broken or gaskets are worn out. Figuring out which type of liquid is enter-

Vehicle infotainment systems change the world of driving Long gone are the days when a person hops into the driver’s seat and only has AM or FM radio at his or her disposal. Although standard radio is still popular, today’s motorists are faced with a bevy of options in an always-evolving “infotainment” industry. Infotainment, also known as in-car entertainment or ICE, and in-vehicle infotainment, or IVI, is a collection of hardware devices installed into cars and trucks to provide navigation services and audio and even visual entertainment. Many of today’s cars allow drivers to map routes with ease through intricate navigation systems tied to location-narrowing satellites. Children can boot up a favorite DVD and watch it in the backseat to make a trip more agreeable, while passengers can stream satellite radio and have thousands of different musical options at their fingertips. And thanks to Bluetooth or USB connectivity, drivers and passengers alike can verbally message friends and family by linking their phones to car computer systems. While many of these infotainment sources are channeled through a smartphone, even that technology is changing. General Motors is the first major automaker to announce that most of their 2015 vehicles will offer embedded 4G modems

for constant connectivity. This eliminates the need to pair infotainment systems with a phone and wait for a connection. This may put online radio on par with what is available at home or via wireless hot spots. Apple recently started bringing a special version of its Siri -- a speech-recognition assistant that is built into iPhones and other products -- into cars. Siri integration will be coming to at least nine automakers in the future, including BMW, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Land-Rover, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda. Other manufacturers, like Ford, which already has a Microsoft-based Sync, have their own voice-recognition software that ties to a larger information “cloud.” From ordering dinner to cuing up movies, infotainment offers drivers many benefits. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, such systems can pose a potentially dangerous distraction. A AAA study points out that there really isn’t a fully safe infotainment system. Of all the typical in-car activities studied by AAA, speech-to-text systems were found to be the most cognitively distracting. When assigned a specific numeric rating by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, with 1.0 being no distraction at all, listening to the radio earned a 1.21 rating,

talking on a phone ranked 2.45, while listening to and responding to email using speech-to-text technology received a rating of 3.06. AAA’s president and CEO, Robert Darbelnet, says that text-to-speech capability in cars and many other infotainment

features could present a safety crisis. “It’s time to consider limiting new and potentially dangerous mental distractions built into cars, particularly with the common public misperception that hands-free means risk-free,” says Darbelnet. With the ability to send and receive

tweets, update social media sites, get directions, and make restaurant reservations all through a vehicle’s infotainment system, drivers have many features at their disposal. It remains to be seen if these features will be a boon to drivers or result in more distracted driving.

Make the most of road trips to enjoy fall foliage Jaunts to view fall foliage are popular excursions come autumn. The vivid color on display in forests and parks is simply too much for many motorists to resist. Though nature’s beauty is often on display regardless of geography, some locales tend to boast more beauteous backdrops and picturesque landscapes than others. The key is to visit during peak viewing times. Leaves begin to change earlier in the northernmost latitudes. For example, much of Canada and portions of the northern United States begin to witness changes in foliage in late September, whereas regions further south must wait until October to see those changes. Mid-October is when peak times are most prevalent for the greatest portion of the United States. Travelers in North Dakota and Wyoming can view fall foliage at this time. Autumn coloring persists until late October and early November in certain areas, including the southeastern and central regions of the United States. When planning a road trip to see fall foliage, pay attention to local

weather and foliage reports. Remember, road trips are quite popular this time of year, and municipal parks may be quite crowded on the weekends. If you can spare time off during the week, it may work to your advantage to cruise around when traffic is less congested. Bring along maps or a GPS system so that you can travel to multiple areas. Autumn leaves can be enjoyed from a car, but they are equally enjoyable when experienced on a hiking trip. Pack a bagged lunch and picnic in a quiet spot, and you’re bound to spot squirrels and other wildlife gathering up food reserves in preparation for the winter weather. While the foliage is impressive enough on its own, the science behind this awesome display of color is something to behold as well. During the spring and summer, leaves produce most of the food necessary for the tree’s growth. Cells inside of the leaves contain chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight, turning it into sugars and starch that the tree uses for food. In addition to green chlorophyll, other pigments

specific to the types of trees are present. These pigments are generally masked by the large amount of chlorophyll present during warm weather. When autumn arrives, changes in the duration of sunlight result in the gradual decrease of chlorophyll and the breakdown of residual chlorophyll in the leaves as the trees prepare to stop food production for the cold hibernation. Other chemical changes take place as the leaves prepare for winter, and these mix with chlorophyll residue to produce various shades of colors. Weather, light and water supply will influence the shades of colors as well. Rainy weather makes them more vivid. While the colors are appearing, a special layer of cells develops, and this layer gradually severs the tissues of the leaf from the branches before the leaves fall to the ground. The best days to see leaves are those days that are cool and dry. Leaves that fall on roadways and are dampened by rain can be very slippery, so it is important to exercise caution while driving.

Steps to take when selling your car

Setting a realistic price Some sellers might begin the process of selling their car by shooting for the moon and asking for more money than the vehicle is worth. That’s a great way to waste time and ensure your vehicle stays on the market for a long time. Buyers have access to much of the same information as sellers, including the vehicle’s ownership and accident history if they choose to purchase

the vehicle history report on the car. So sellers will be doing themselves a disservice if they establish an unreasonable selling price for their vehicles. When determining the price for your vehicle, make the most of the resources at your disposal. Edmunds.com, for example, offers a True Market Value, or TMV(R), tool that allows sellers to get an honest appraisal of their used vehicle, while Kelley Blue Book has long been a trusted resource for buyers and sellers alike who want to determine the value of preowned vehicles. Use resources such as these to determine a reasonable selling price for your used car. Many prospective buyers will want to negotiate the price down, so setting a price that’s slightly higher than the vehicle’s appraised value might be a good bet. Just don’t go too far above that value or you risk getting little response to your ad.

make use of popular Web sites featuring hundreds, if not thousands, of vehicles for sale. Such sites allow prospective buyers to narrow their searches based on a host of factors, including geography, vehicle make and model, mileage, and so on. While such sites can be useful, it’s also easy for your vehicle to get lost in the haystack that is such sites’ vast inventory. That’s something to consider, as many sites charge sellers to post their listing. When advertising your vehicle for sale, consider traditional methods like putting a “For Sale” sign in the window and advertising the car in the classified section of your local newspaper. Many buyers still scour the classifieds when looking for a used car, while a “For Sale” sign in the window is an inexpensive yet effective way to make it known that your vehicle is for sale. In addition to more traditional methods, make use of other ways to increase your vehicle’s visibility. Post the vehicle to social media sites where friends and family can see that the car is for sale. Even if your online friends are not in

Effectively advertise the vehicle Nowadays, many sellers of used vehicles, including dealerships,

the market for a new vehicle, they might know someone who is and can easily send prospective buyers your way. This requires little effort on the part of the seller, but the potential payoff is considerable. Present yourself and the vehicle well Sellers can make the most of the sales experience if they present themselves as responsible vehicle owners who went to great lengths to maintain their vehicles. If you have a maintenance history of the vehicle, make it available when showing the vehicle and answer sellers’ questions with honesty and sincerity. Of course, prospective buyers also want the vehicle to make a good impression. Before showing the vehicle, have your mechanic give it a tune-up so it’s running as smoothly as possible during test drives. In addition, make sure the vehicle’s exterior has been washed and waxed and its interior thoroughly cleaned when it is being shown. Clean vehicles that run without any hiccups make a strong first impres-

sion on prospective buyers. Don’t negotiate yourself out of a sale The year a vehicle hits the market is a benchmark among prospective buyers. Even if they’re unaware of it, many buyers harbor negative opinions of a vehicle as it gets older. So even if a decade-old vehicle runs like new, buyers will likely still be hesitant about paying full asking price for a car that first left a dealership’s lot 10 years ago. Sellers should keep this in mind when selling their preowned vehicles, especially when they start to field offers. It’s easy for sellers to negotiate themselves out of a sale if they feel buyers aren’t making substantial offers. But the longer the vehicle goes unsold, the more negative the perception of that vehicle becomes, and the less sellers are likely to get for the car. If buyers are making offers within the realm of your initial asking price, then don’t worry it if those offers are a few hundred dollars short of that initial price, as there’s no guarantee a better offer is on the horizon.

When buying a new car, today’s buyers often weigh a vehicle’s potential resale value before signing on the dotted line. Resale value is important, as it allows vehicle owners to recoup some of their initial investment when the money earned after selling a car is often used to finance the purchase of a driver’s next vehicle. But selling a car is not as simple as putting a sign in its rear window and waiting for prospective buyers to beat a path to your driveway. Selling a car is an involved process that sellers must take seriously if they hope to maximize the vehicle’s resale value.

1977 Pontiac Firebird with one owner 29 years Lifestyle – Darren Pike of Hamilton, Ontario, writes: “Good day, Bill, I’m sending pictures of my 1977 Pontiac Firebird that I have owned for 29 years. I bought it in 1984, when it was only seven years old, and put 2,000 miles on it before the motor blew. That’s what I get for buying a car ‘as is.’ “So I went out and bought another engine, a 350 Chevy V8 from my friend’s dad for 300 bucks and with only 49,000 miles on it. All’s well that ends well.

I’ve had that motor in my car ever since. It’s been a very reliable car and now has 160,000 miles on it. Fresh paint and bodywork was done nine years ago. From that day on, it’s been my boy toy and never sees rain.” Ten years before Darren’s 1977 Firebird was built, General Motors was having a milestone year with the launch of the Chevrolet Camaro and, a few months later, the Pontiac Firebird. Both these new cars rode on a wheelbase of 108 inches, and with their sporty good looks and choice of engines were designed to compete head-on with the Ford Mustang. Darren’s ’77 Firebird also rides on a 108-inch wheelbase.

Darren Pike poses with pride alongside his 1977 Firebird. His plates read CB.NFLD because he comes from Corner Brook, Newfoundland. The first generation of Camaros and Firebirds came in two

body styles: a 2-door hardtop and a 2-door convertible. The second generation models appeared in mid-1970 with low-slung European styling and one body style: the 2-door hardtop, of which Darren Pike’s ’77 is a beautiful example. A Chevrolet 350 V8 has powered his Firebird since 1984. That small-block Chev V8 can trace its origins back to 1955, when Chevrolet brought out a V8 engine with 265 cubic inches, its first V8 since 1918 (yes, Chevrolet had a V8 in 1917-18 but it was too far ahead of its time and was dropped). In 1957, the “265” that came out in ‘55 was punched out to 283 and cranked out horsepower as high as 283 if you had the Super RamJet Fuel Injection engine. Another boost came in 1962 when the small block V8 was boosted to

327 cubic inches. The next boost came in 1967 when the smallblock Chevy was punched out to 350 cubic inches, an increase of 85 cubic inches from the engine introduced in 1955. The Chev 350 V8 has been a favourite engine for street rodders for the past 40-plus years. They are powerful yet compact, and can be made to fit into almost any engine compartment.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, shake things up a bit to inspire some much-needed change. Be a tourist in your own city if you cannot afford a trip or immerse yourself in new cultures. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – It is not a good week to begin new projects, Taurus. In fact, cosmic signs point to finishing up anything you have outstanding. Try to focus on financial matters as well. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Cooperate with others this week, Gemini. This works best when you embrace compromise. Listen to what others have to say and always keep an open mind. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, a desire to get organized has been on your mind for quite some time. Now is the ideal time to do something about it. Start by clearing out clutter and go from there. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Enjoy a short vacation, Leo. It may be a jaunt to a weekend hideaway or something off the beaten path, but make the most of this well-deserved escape from the daily grind. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, you are feeling domestic this week, so enjoy puttering around the house these next several days. You can catch up on decorating or renovating the home. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, you feel a strong need to communicate with others this week. Share some truths with your loved ones, but try not to come across as if you have an agenda. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, you may have a desire to travel and seek adventure, but right now finances won’t allow it. If you can keep expenses down, you may have the opportunity soon. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Expect to have luck on your side this week, Sagittarius. As a natural born risk-taker, all you need is a little incentive to get out and take a chance. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Keep your intentions hidden from others until you are ready for the big reveal, Capricorn. This will help make the surprise even more exciting for all those involved. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, discussions reach a point where you want to make permanent changes to your plans. Mull things over before making any final decisions, but enjoy this exciting time. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Personal details about your private life may become public, Pisces. How this information is handled depends on your reaction.

Young Mary has a fascination with hands Mary Cook

Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Lifestyle - Often, when I was sitting at the old pine table at night, with the coal oil lamp giving off faint shards of light, I examined the hands of those around me. For reasons I was never able to explain, I was deeply interested in other people’s hands. Even though the same blood ran through our veins, there weren’t two of us with the same hand shapes. I would look over at Father, slouched in the old rocking chair close to the Findlay Oval, and I could see his hands holding the Ottawa Farm Journal. They were small hands, I thought, for a man, but I knew them to be powerful. They were calloused and wore the look of hard labour, and they could tie up a pig or roll a heifer with ease. But when he ruffled my hair, as he often did when he passed me, his hands were gentle and loving. My sister Audrey had long tapering fingers, and I always thought her hands were narrow. I would look at them and try to compare them with my own, which, even with a young eye, I could see that mine were wider by far. How I would envy Audrey her pretty hands! I knew too, that the reason she was able to do such beautiful hand work, and embroider French knots and lazy daisies on our tea towels and pillow cases, was because she had the perfect hands for the job.

Even the hands of my three brothers differed from each other. Earl, the smallest, had hands that suited his slight build. Everett, the oldest of the three, had hands that were already beginning to show he would be expected to carry his weight on the farm. He complained of callouses and often said his fingers hurt. There was little sympathy for Everett...he was needed on the farm, and the sooner he got used to hard work and the callouses the better off he would be, Father told him. Emerson, the biggest of the three, but the middle son, had big hands. They matched perfectly his big frame, and his almost six foot height by the time he was 12 years old. But Mother always said Emerson had the hands of an artist. How she could tell, I had no idea. But she believed one day Emerson would be a great artist, or a builder of fine buildings with those hands. And so she squirrelled change out of her egg money from the blue sugar bowl, and took advantage of Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store one cent sale, and bought him art paper, and soft leaded pencils, so sure was she that Emerson’s hands would one day make him famous. I would look at Mother, sitting at the end of the table, with her diaries spread out around her, and with a bottle of real ink in front of her, and a pen...she always wrote in her diaries with ink, never with pencil...and if I would look at her hands and then at mine...I would think that our hands, of all those in the family, were the most alike. Her two little fingers, like mine,

The Recycling study focuses on the township’s garbage/ recycling services and waste management practices different for the

two islands. Wolfe Island has a waste disposal site with an attendant. The site is also a recycling transfer station for selected waste and recyclables. Howe Island has road side collection of waste taken off the island and a recycling transfer station but no attendant. The Waste Strategy is a comprehensive assessment of existing recycling programs operated by the township, initiated this year with the assistance of, and funding through the Waste Diversion Ontario’s Continuous Improvement Fund and the township’s general tax roll and an indication

Township’s commitment to maintaining and improving services. Moving through the report Laporte said that Wolfe Island is doing well diverting 29% of their waste stream (CIF average 21%) and operates a very effective waste transfer site with 85 % of those using the site also recycling.. .” Howe Island is generating waste in excess of CIF’s typical waste generation, and is worse than average at recycling.,” he said Laporte noted other municipalities have a bag limit and charges a fee.. “With no fee, I think you are importing waste.. Howe Island could expand its collection services to include recyclables and consider closing their depot., in bad condition when I saw it,” Continuing through the report he noted Waste Diversion Ontario has identified 3 successful landfill waste diverting recommendations: user fees; clear bags; service reductions. adding that the “the e latter two are not easy for the islands..” .Next steps in the process include direct consultation with selected groups of the public; review by council , promotion of the strategy and public education on the importance of recycling including the services offered by the township.

Please Note: that the report was adopted by council, and submitted for review to the CIF. It will be posted on the Township’s of Frontenac Islands web site. . The Howe Island Transportation Study which includes a review of the island’s present ferry service, an assessment of future conditions, and alternatives to fix problems was next on the agenda. However it will have to wait till next time as will the review of the 2012 financial statements by KPMG’s Vicki Leaky. Council meets Tuesday, Nov. 12th on Wolfe Island at 6:30 pm Coming Events: 1.
