All South Frontenac vehicles to be marked, even the Fire Chief’s By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News – South Frontenac Township has only one municipallyowned vehicle that is unmarked – Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough’s pickup. So, when Coun. Del Stowe’s previously served notice of motion that all township vehicles be clearly marked at last week’s regular South Frontenac council meeting in Sydenham, everyone knew what vehicle was being discussed. “I believe we’re talking about the Chief’s vehicle,” said Dep. Mayor Cam Naish. “The Chief asked for anonymity because he sometimes has to make calls at residents’ homes on sensitive issues and wanted to respect their privacy.” Naish said it’s a common practice for fire chiefs’ vehicles not to be marked

as such and cited the policies of neighbouring municipalities like Quinte West, Belleville, Napanee, Kingston, Brockville and Leeds and the Thousand Islands. But other councillors questioned the practice. “This went through the fire committee (but) councillors should not be getting calls like ‘where the chief’s vehicle is,’” said Coun. Ron Vandewal. “I get more calls now than I ever did (when the vehicle was marked).” “When we decided to let him have an unmarked vehicle, my phone rang off the hook,” said Stowe. “And of those other municipalities mentioned, Belleville, Brockville, Kingston, those are fairly large cities in comparison.” Mayor Gary Davison, who was Chief of the Loughborough Fire Department,
was sympathetic to the current Chief’s request for anonymity. “I got two calls after we made the decision to allow it and that was it,” Davison said. “As it stands today, we only have one unmarked vehicle and we go to great pains to ensure the rest are clearly marked. “But in the case of the Fire Chief’s vehicle, there are some connotations that something is wrong after a fire or complaint if people see the vehicle parked in someone’s driveway so I can see his point.” Other councillors were somewhat ambivalent to the issue. “What difference does it make other than his own preference?” said Coun. Bill Robinson. “And what difference does it make what other municipalities do?” When a recorded vote was taken,
FROM $29.99
council voted 6-3 to mark the Chief’s vehicle, with Davison, Naish and Coun. Al McPhail voting against. The markings weren’t the only issue surrounding the Chief’s vehicle. The prospective 2014 Protective Services budget also contains a line to replace said vehicle, a 2010 pickup with 306,000 kilometres on it that prompted Vandewal to wonder aloud at the previous week’s committee of the whole meeting where all those kilometres were coming from. One member of council, speaking off the record after the meeting, saw the mileage as justified, as the Chief travels frequently to Kingston for meetings with Kingston fire staff, and to have equipment tested. He also said the Chief attends almost every fire call personally.

No hike in user fees for Sydenham Water Works Reporter
Gazette News – With very little fanfare and no further debate, South Frontenac Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham to take care of the unfunded liabilities at the Sydenham Water Works from working funds. At the previous week’s committee of the whole meeting, Treasurer Louise Fragnito told council “with the recent upgrade to the Sydenham Water Works, a municipal contribution of $488,336 remains unfinanced. “The balance of the upgrade was funded by the Build Canada Fund.” She said that in April, when options for funding these costs were discussed, council directed staff to open discussions with the Limestone District School Board to re-
visit their initial capital contribution. “As per council’s request, discussions with the school board have been held, however, they remain unresponsive to our request, citing that in 2008 they increased their initial contribution at the last minute in response to the township’s request,” she said. Council had considered applying the $300,950 from the Investing in Ontario fund but that would have still left $187,386 and council decided the $300,950 would be better spent on the 2014 roads construction budget. Other options for financing the Water Works included general taxation, water plant reserves (balance of $329,066 as of Dec. 31, 2012), and/or billing the users. ••• South Frontenac will once again
be voting electronically when the municipal elections come around in about one year’s time. Council decided to go with Intelivote, the same outfit it used last time when the system got overloaded and caused a delay of almost an hour in getting results tabulated. There were also issues whereby a few voters didn’t get to vote for school board representatives when the system went down. CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said that despite the last election’s server problems and the fact that, at $50,400, Intelivote’s bid was the highest (the other two coming in at $45,000 and $48,960), “they have worked with 34 Ontario municipalities (and) in the view of staff, the product is superior. “Staff are confident that the ven-
dor has taken the necessary steps to avoid the problem that presented itself during the last election.” He said there were “anomalies” in all three bids and all three were resubmitted. ••• Council approved a name change for Alton Road to correct 911 addressing issues dating back to amalgamation. Alton Road will now be renamed Alton Road East for the portion east of Boundary Road and Alton Road West for the portion west of Boundary Road. ••• With respect to Frontenac County’s proposed new Offi- MS 170 cial Plan, Coun.
Al McPhail moved a resolution that South Frontenac Planner Lindsay Mills apply to be on the agenda for the Nov. 20 County Council meeting in order to present South Frontenac’s concerns with the new document. Mayor Gary Davison was avidly in support. “I’d love to have him there,” said Davison. “When it’s not just me bitching, it will carry more weight.” “That’s the intent,” retorted McPhail with a grin.

Algonquin College seeks to increase programs, student body at Perth campus By Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Gazette News – More programs could be coming to Algonquin College’s Perth campus. “We would like to increase our programs and our students,” said Shelley Carter-Rose, the Perth campus’ dean, on Wednesday, Oct. 23. The decision stemmed out of a sector strategic planning session held this past April, and a decision on which type of programs, and how many, will be made in mid to late November. “I can’t put this out there now,” she said, but did say that one would likely be in the health care sector, as well as “diversifying the trades program.” The Perth campus already has programs like personal support workers (PSW) and masonry and
heritage construction. “We need to expand,” said CarterRose, beyond the current nine programs. The Pembroke campus, by comparison, has about 20 programs. The college will be looking at different criteria to see if the proposed new programs are viable. “We need to look at financing and enrollment,” she said. “If there is a market demand and an employment demand, and if there is any competition.” Carter-Rose was speaking at the college’s media day on Wednesday, Oct. 23, and her sentiments about employability were echoed by other members of the college administration. “We try to give employers what they are looking for,” said Monique Cochrane, of the office administration (general) program.

Popular programs With an aging population, programs like PSW’s are proving to be popular, with a quite a few job opportunities – though some take exception to common misconceptions about their field of work. Earlier this year, Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier advised a
nurse working at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, who had had to take a pay cut in order to keep working at the hospital, that if she did not like her current situation, she could find plenty of work as a PSW. “I think it is offensive for people to say, ‘Oh, why don’t you become a PSW,’” said Brittany Moodie, a student in the PSW program. “I have been looking at continuing on my education in nursing. (But) I am very content with being a PSW…We are very privileged to be one-on-one with our patients.” In her program, Moodie and her fellow students are told to “treat your patients like they are your family. We work hard.” Another one of the programs at the college also offers the very real possibility of a job immediately after graduation – but staffers are puzzled at the low sign-up rate. “The (masonry) students are getting hired for really good jobs,” said Andrew Edmondson, the Perth campus’ marketing officer. But they are having trouble recruiting students into the program, “and we don’t know why.” The average age of a mason in Ontario is 66, one year past the current retirement age, so any young masons, “they are getting snapped up.” Media Day Cars whizz by the campus, day and night, on nearby Craig Street, going to and from Smiths Falls and other destinations, their occupants often un-
aware of what goes on the college – or, their occupants are curious, but never have the time to stop by for a visit, though the college has been a part of Perth for about 40 years. “Not a lot of people know a lot about our campus in the community,” said Gerry Salisbury, a professor in the Perth police foundations’ program, of the need for the media day last month. Reinvention is as much a part of academia as it is for any other industry, something Cathy James, a Perth Courier columnist, saw for herself with the re-launching of the continuing education program. Several years ago, “it was really, really popular. People would be lining up for registration, it was so popular.” But then the program’s popularity began to wane, before its rebirth in September of 2012, and 500 people signed up for courses like photography, shop, computers, and human resources. Part of the success of this was that the college brought “experts from the community (in to) share in the classroom,” said James. The added benefit of the program, she said, was to “make them (have) a bit more of an advantage in the job market.” Good wood For many of the students who got up to talk, theirs was a return to the classroom after several years,
brought about by a change in career. “What is my passion?” asked Anton Graser, aged 50. “I love woodworking.” So, he signed up for the heritage carpentry program, which “introduced me to people in the trades. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a lot of building restoration ongoing in the Ottawa Valley. What we are learning in the classroom and what we do in the shop and in the yard (are) seamless.” A younger person who also wanted to make a change in his life course, Zach Ginac, chose masonry as his new path. “I knew nothing about masonry at the start, I was pretty green,” said Ginac, who had studied chemical engineering at the University of Ottawa for about five years before deciding that the world of chemicals was not for him. “I get to do something with my hands. I love it. I don’t fall asleep at my desk… (and) the demand for masons is pretty high. I’ve already been offered two or three jobs in Ottawa.” Ginac did admit that there was a monotonous side to the hands-on experience though. “Practice makes perfect,” he said. “You have to keep laying the same brick over and over and over until you get it right.” Continued on page 5

thought I would work with children,” May admitted. But, “by the end of summer, I said, ‘This is exactly what I want to be.’” Fellow ECE student Lorena Burwash already knows what she wants to do with the education she gets at Algonquin. “When I have my own children, I want to open my own home-based day care,” she said. May commended the Perth campus for having advantages over the busy Woodroffe campus in Ottawa, where she attended classes for one year, in a class of 115. “I was a number, not a name,” in Ottawa, May said. “I wanted more one-on-one time with my professors,” which she got in Perth. Also, the program, “introduced us to the work environment a lot earlier.” For Craig McGowan of the social service worker program, learning can be the key to helping others, since you can best “help others by learning about yourself. You can’t help others if you don’t learn about yourself.” Using the tools taught in his program, he learned that he is a visual learning, something important to know in how he learns, thinks, and even interacts with others, and sees the world. A lot of time is spent in the social worker program, at first, determining learning styles. But for McGowan, it also really helped to have teachers who were fairly accessible at sometimes unbelievable hours. “I have received emails from an ethics teacher at 1 a.m.,” he said. “If you do not hand in an assignment on time, they will hound you until you get it in.”
Continued from page 4
Back in the wood shop, the carpentry program attracts people from all over Canada, like Saskatchewan’s own John Cody, who came from a family with a long line of carpenters. He called the heritage carpentry program “the best in Canada, North America, sure.” He had originally been looking at a college in Nova Scotia, but he is glad he made the move to Perth. “I don’t know why I didn’t think to come here sooner,” he said. “You are free (here). You can make as many mistakes as you want. There isn’t the pressure of learning on the job.” Already two months into the course, he likes what he sees, not only of the college, but the town too. “You move here, you take the course, and you don’t leave here,” Cody said. While Cody liked being here, Moodie, who grew up in the area, couldn’t wait to leave when she got the chance. “I wanted to get out of here, leave my parents’ home,” she said of her earlier self. “(But) my friends took the PSW program. She said, ‘Come in and have a look.’” She liked what she saw, especially coming from the teaching staff. “They are here for nothing more than to make you succeed,” Moodie said. “Not a lot of students in my program are from Perth.” Demographics are driving the demand for her industry. “We’ve learned quite a bit about baby boomers,” who will place the next big rush of demand on her industry. Already, they are learning about the realities of PSW work, like “facilities, not having enough beds, etc.” But, on the up side, “there is never not a job 343 Amherst Drive in the Hub of Amherstview posting. They are 613-384-4585 starting to wel“Our Family Caring for Your Family” come PSWs in hospitals again.” Palliative care units and even hospices are other points of call for PSWs. “It’s really where the student wants to go,” Moodie said.

Busy agenda at Islands council meeting By Margaret Knott Correspondent
Gazette News – An early morning special meeting of Frontenac Islands council dealt with a number of important issues in very short order. The first very important order of business was to appoint once again an Interim CAO/ Clerk/Treasurer in the person of Gordon Burns. Burns, retired Clerk CAO at South Frontenac, came first to Frontenac Islands for an interim period of time following the retirement of former long-time Frontenac Islands CAO Terry O’Shea. (Burns is already on the job.). A second order of business was the passage of a bylaw to provide for the appointment of a councillor for Howe Island. As was recently reported long-time member of council from Howe Island Pat
Norris resigned some weeks ago. Since the time left before the next municipal elections is short, council determined at a regular meeting of council that rather than hold a by election to replace him it was suggested that interested Howe Islanders submit Written Expressions of Interest (including name, contact information and brief resume including why they feel they should be considered for this appointment) in person to the Clerk or designate at 50 Baseline Road, Howe Island, during regular business hours up to 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 2. Watch for formal published notice. Mayor Doyle commented that a number of citizens have already expressed an interest in serving out the Councillor term. (FYI - The 2014 municipal elections in Ontario, will be held on October 27, 2014. Voters will elect mayors, council-
lors, school board trustees to a 4 year term of office. Candidate registration opens on January 6, 2014 and ends on September 8). Of interest to Wolfe Island residents will be resolutions passed with regard to the WI Arena Roof. At meetings held in September Paul Hogan, chair of the WI Community Centre Board, spoke of the tenders for the roof project. It was determined first that there would be negotiations with Custom Forming to find savings to the proposed cost of $73,650 for the concrete framework as recommended by project manager Patrick Thompson. Further, all five registered bidders for the arena’s structural steel roof were to be asked to resend their revised quotations (originally way over budget) based on a revised scope of work in order to bring the price down. The township was also to submit an ap-
plication for a capital works grant for the roof to Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation and submit a FIT (rooftop solar) Application. So at the November 1 Special meeting Council: 1. accepted the Sydenham Welding bid for the WI arena structural steel roof in the amount of $444,650.00 plus HST. (Possible completion around end of Feb.) 2. re-submitted the resolution regarding their support for the construction of FIT projects in the township. The purpose of the resolution is to enable participants in the FIT program to receive priority points only under this program. FIT Program encourages the construction of rooftop solar PV generation “Projects”. 3. Councillor Grant suggested representatives from oil companies meet to see what are best days/times for dangerous goods from their perspective. 4.The HI Baseline

In Our Opinion
Let’s get down to the meat of the matter Craig Bakay Reporter
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Column – Oh the things you see on Facebook. One of my “friends” re-posted something called “13 Nutrition Lies That Made the World Sick and Fat” by Kris Gunnars of Authoritynutrition.com. Some of the “lies” Gunnars ‘debunks’ in this story include “eggs are bad for you,” “saturated fat is unhealthy,” and “everyone should be eating heart-healthy whole wheat.” As someone who really likes eggs and butter, and really doesn’t care for whole-wheat bread, I was of course an easy read for this stuff. I’m really not recommending this guy’s philosophies (he’s a med student at U of Iceland in Reykjavik) but with deer season well under way, one of the nutrition lies that got me surfing to the embedded links to studies cited was “meat is bad for you.” It got me to wondering why meat, especially beef started getting a bum rap in the first place. We’ve all heard the you-
shouldn’t-eat-red-meat stuff. It became a bit of a mantra in certain circles, spawning an almost-fanatical following that were absolutely certain of their veracity and thus felt wholly justified in attempting to enforce their beliefs on the rest of us. They of course cited impeccable sources, no wait, mostly they said “studies show . . . “ without ever mentioning what studies, where they were done, and most importantly, who paid for them. Very few ‘studies’ have their origins in purely scientific curiosity. This is because studies cost money, for researchers, interviewers, equipment, specimens, and all sorts of various and sundry accessory functions like having somebody type the damn thing up. So, we wonders, why would somebody pay to have studies done on meat and what it does to the human body? There is a remote chance that there is some altruistic motive at work here, but again, altruism rarely pays the bills. So, to whom would such a study be valuable . . . valuable enough to pay the salaries of a couple of biologists or whatever to have it done. Skeptically speaking, there is a
Christmas already? Mandy Marciniak Reporter
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Column – It seems to me that Christmas is coming earlier and earlier each year. Maybe I am just noticing it more, but I am pretty sure that Christmas didn’t always start immediately following Halloween, at least not outside of my parent’s house. My family is a little crazy when it comes to Christmas. My mother, for as long as I can remember, has been obsessed with all things Christmas and because of this obsession she has 12 Christmas trees. That’s right, I said 12. She didn’t start out with 12, but over the years they seem to have multiplied. They are all individually themed too. She has a teacup tree in the kitchen, a traditional tree in our family room, a Betty Boop tree (which is her favourite), a New Year’s Eve-themed tree with black and white ornaments, and a Mardi Gras tree, just to name a few.
They are all beautiful, but they are also incredibly time consuming. She starts putting them together in October and doesn’t stop until Christmas. It has always seemed a little nutty to me, but then when I see all of the stores rapidly changing over to Christmas before the leaves even change colour, I wonder if maybe I’m getting it wrong. In September, I was in Costco and saw Christmas decorations. It was 25 degrees outside and there was a blowup snowman in the middle of the store. It seemed a bit excessive. Now, there are signs posted everywhere for Santa Claus parades and believe it or not, some have already occurred. I know Santa loves this time of year, but maybe he’d like some extra time to relax before his big night? He has a lot of places to visit, but surely he can hold off a few more weeks. I love Christmas, don’t get me wrong, but seeing it come so early gives me a bit of anxiety. There is so much to do before Christmas. So many gifts to buy, so many decorations that I feel pressured to put up and so many gatherings to attend. It is exhausting. I thought Christmas was supposed to be a holiday? Doesn’t

very easy answer to this question. Someone who would profit by the decline in red meat consumption could likely be persuaded to pay for ‘facts’ that ‘prove’ red meat is bad for you. If people start eating less red meat, they’ll have to replace that caloric intake with something. So, the chicken industry, the pasta industry, the diet industry, the packaged foods industry, hell, it could even be somebody who uses a lot of red meat like a hamburger chain trying to drive down the price from their suppliers who would pay for such a thing. Personally, I’ve never bought into the theory that meat is bad for you. First of all, human beings have been eating it for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s something we do. But second of all, if you look at which creatures have the largest brain to body size ratio, it’s always the predators. Of course predators need bigger brains than prey animals. All the prey animals have to do is eat plants, which are all over the place and take no thinking. Predators have to think about how they’re going to catch the prey animal and therefore need more brain power. So, eat meat, get a bigger brain.
that mean it should be relaxing? The only time I find relaxing during the holiday season is the week between Christmas and New Year’s. Everyone seems to calm down a bit and there isn’t a rush to get everything done. I feel like I can breathe for the first time in two months. I think maybe the Americans have it right. I know they put out Christmas stuff early too, but they don’t seem to go crazy until after Thanksgiving. While their Thanksgiving is much later than ours, I still think it would be reasonable for us to hold off until at least mid to late November. Those who want to start shopping earlier can do so, but for the rest of us who just want to live life, without the emphasis on the fact that we haven’t even started shopping, can do that. Perhaps these are my own issues, but I can’t be the only one who feels this way. At this point in the year, I feel guilty for not shopping yet. Maybe I should start? Maybe that is the key to holiday relaxation – start early and finish early and then enjoy watching everyone else scramble. That is my new approach. I’ll let you know how it goes. Happy Shopping!

8 The Frontenac EMC - Thursday, November 14, 2013
Forty years of public service Gazette Editorial - With a public service career spanning five decades and three separate public offices, it’s safe to say that Kingston and the Islands MPP John Gerretsen, who announced his retirement in October, will go down in history as one of our region’s most respected elected representatives. A lawyer by trade (with a degree from Queen’s), Gerretsen was first elected to municipal council in 1973. He then went on to become Kingston’s longest serving mayor from 1980 to 1988, being elected on three separate occasions. In 1995 he was elected MPP for Kingston and the Islands, and was re-elected in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011. He takes his retirement having attained the position of top lawyer in the land: chief legal adviser to the Crown, the Attorney General. During his time as an elected official, Gerretsen has championed a number of worthy social causes such as community health, seniors’ issues and affordable housing. But if there’s one thing that his list of legislative accomplishments truly highlights, it is his passion for environmental issues. Many consider his greatest success to be leading the charge to have the 1.8 million acre green belt surrounding the Greater Toronto Area designated a protected area – a feat he accomplished in 2005. In 2009, Mr. Gerretsen served as president of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. The council developed a Canada-wide action plan for extended producer responsibility, a sustainable packaging strategy as well as a Canada-wide vision for water that included a water efficiency labeling system. During Gerretsen’s time as legislator he was also responsible for a law that bans the use and sale of cosmetic pesticides across the province of Ontario, and he drafted legislation protecting Lake Simcoe. He was instrumental in the introducing and implementing the Toxics Reduction Act, aimed at reducing the amount of toxins and carcinogens in the environment. More recently, Gerretsen guided the roll-out of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan, which featured historic investments in public transit and the phasing out of the Province’s coal-fired power stations. The plan also includes unprecedented cap and trade agreements, linking greenhouse gas reduction targets with those of our neighbours to the south. We believe that for each positive step that Kingston, the province and even the country takes towards its goal environmental sustainability, a debt of gratitude is owed to John Gerretsen, a true visionary for the movement.

‘Where’s the fire?’ councillor asks during budget debate By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News – As South Frontenac Council dove into its Capital Budget for 2014 at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham, Coun. Ron Vandewal questioned the wisdom of getting down to business so early in the process. Historically, township councils didn’t even think about budgets until the new year but recently, there’s been a trend towards getting started early, like October of the year before the next budget is due. “I know we agreed to the dates but where’s the fire?” said Vandewal. “Last week (at the committee of the whole meeting) we were given the second largest budget in the history of the township and asked for direction. “I don’t agree with going so fast just to get through it (and) I don’t like that process. “There are numbers in there I don’t like and some of them got into the paper.” He wasn’t the only one.
“I do agree,” said Dep. Mayor Cam Naish. “I’d like a little more time to digest it all.” “Me too,” said Coun. Bill Robinson. Somewhat taken aback, CAO/ Clerk Wayne Orr responded that the Capital Budget was sent out Oct. 22 and from a staff perspective, they were trying to get direction as to council’s priorities. “When a number of councilors all speak on an item, it’s often hard to discern direction,” Orr said. “(And) we wanted to have this done because we’re scheduled to present a draft Operating Budget on Nov. 12.” Specifically, one of the ‘numbers’ Vandewal was referring to was $1.4 million for a new fire hall in Perth Road Village, something that concerned other councillors as well. Passing around pictures of the fire hall in Mountain Grove that Vandewal said was built for $354,000 based on his conversation with Central Frontenac officials, Vandewal said he wasn’t about to
approve a $1.4 million hall, especially without seeing any plans or drawings. He wasn’t alone on that. “I have a hard time approving that kind of money without seeing something,” said Coun. Del Stowe. “And $1.4 million seems like quite the fire hall. “I’d like to see our firefighters get the best hall we can give them but I don’t want to spend that much money on a fire hall and have to wait 10 years before we can afford to build another one. “If we start out at a little less, maybe we can build two halls.” “We didn’t have plans for the library (in Sydenham) when we applied for the grant,” said Orr. “The $1.4 million was based on a neighbouring municipality’s hall but last week council said no to $1.4 million so I put $225,000 in the budget to get the process started.” “I’ve always been a bit of a cheapskate but I was taken aback at $1.4 million,” said Robinson. “I sat on it then but am glad to see it come back around.”

Frontenacs goalie learns how to deal with the pressure of stopping the puck By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Sports – Like most OHL players, 18 year-old Lucas Peressini started playing hockey at a young age. He wasn’t a goalie from the start, but he is certainly happy with the position now. “I started playing when I was really young,” said Peressini, “I started as a player and then our goalie didn’t show up one game and I went in net and I did well so we went from there. I like the position. It is great when you make the big save for your team and you get to see the excitement that it generates from the crowd. Everyone is on their feet when you do that.” Growing up in Toronto, Peressini played for multiple GTA teams in the GTHL including the Mississauga Ice Dogs and Senators, the Vaughn Kings, the Marlies, and the Newmarket Hurricanes. Now, as part of the Kingston Frontenacs, Peressini feels the pressure that comes with moving up a level. “There is a lot of pressure on the goalie, but you get used to it as you get older. Now that I have moved up a level from last year, there are more fans paying attention to what I am doing and the saves I make. There is more pressure that comes with that, but as we play more and
more games I am getting used to it and getting more comfortable.” Comfort is something that the team has struggled with throughout the season and it is clear that they are more comfortable on home ice than on the road. “We started out on an eight-game winning streak this year and then we had a bit of trouble,” explained Peressini. “We were struggling for a bit but I think we are definitely getting back on track now. The traveling was getting to all of us and the away games were a little more difficult because of that.” Despite the struggles, Peressini loves playing with the Frontenacs and the level of competition that comes with playing against players at this level. “I really love playing at the highest level possible and playing against some of the best players around right now. Some of them get drafted into the NHL so it is really great to play with people on that level. It’s also really great to be able to test myself against the best kids in the world my age.” Peressini hopes that the NHL is in his future but knows that achieving that level of success comes with a lot of hard work and dedication. He faced some challenges moving up to the OHL level, but has learned to overcome them and adapt in order to move forward with his career.
“The travelling was hard for me in the beginning. You need to prepare yourself for six or seven-hour trips on a bus. It was also hard getting used to the speed of the game. The shots are harder and it is much faster. It was a big adjustment for me in the begin-
ning, but since we practice every day, I think I am used to it now. “ So what advice would Peressini give to kids hoping to play major junior? “I would recommend that they start working out in the summer more. They need to get on the ice and stay away
from partying. They need to focus. I know guys that have been drafted to the NHL from this level and they are always the hardest workers and the most dedicated, so that is the best advice I can give and that is what I try to do.”

VISIONSoup returns to the Grace Centre mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Events – There are few things better than a bowl of warm soup on a cold day. If that soup came in a take-home bowl made by a local potter and the money spent on the soup went to a local charitable organization, that would be even better. This is exactly what the annual VISIONSoup fundraiser in Sydenham is all about. This year marks the eighth year for the fundraiser and organizers Leslie Reade and Josey Steele hope it will be the most successful one yet. The idea for the event came from a want to give back to the community and provide an interesting way to raise funds for both the Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation (SFCSC) and the Loughborough Christmas and Emergency Relief Committee (LCERC). “I got involved because I thought it was interesting,” explained organizer Josey Steele from King’s Town Chiropractic. “I knew that Martha’s Table did something similar in Kingston and
we thought it could definitely be done with some success out here too. We went for it and here we are eight years later. We thought it was something we could do as good citizens of the community to give back.” Tickets for the fundraiser are $20 plus one non-perishable food item to donate at the door. After arriving, guests will be asked to pick a pottery bowl and then they can choose a soup. “We have about six different potters who have donated bowls to us this year. Tim De Rose donates every year and he has donated 100 bowls this year,” explained Leslie Reade of Sydenham Veterinary Services, “After you decide which bowl you want, you go and choose from about a dozen varieties of soup from a bunch of local restaurants. We try to keep it as local as possible. We have a soup donated from Pan Chancho, Desert Lake Gardens, Martha’s in Verona and a few more that we are still trying to recruit. We also get a donation from the high school in Sydenham, they get their cooking class to make a soup for us
each year which is really great.” The fundraiser has grown substantially over the years and has been in various locations in Sydenham but they are happy to call the Grace Centre their new home for the day. “We just want to see it grow more and more each year,” said Reade. “We now have the space at the Grace Centre to keep expanding and nobody has to wait outside. They have been so kind and helpful to us. We love the space.” The event is so successful that residents who attend actually buy extra tickets just for the bowls. “They want a set of four or eight for their home and so they buy the tickets to get them. It really is a super value for what you are getting. Bowls like this retail for a lot more in stores and with this bowl you get lunch,” explained Steele. Funds raised are then split between the two organizations. Last year Steele and Reade were able to give $1,700 to each organization. Any leftover soup is given to volunteers at the event or given to seniors programs. Absolutely nothing is wasted and the community

benefits in multiple ways. “It is so great to be able to give back and see the community enjoy the event as well,” added Reade. “We have been really lucky with the success we’ve seen and it is great to be able to give. We split the money down the middle for the two organizations and I know that the money reaches the food bank and really helps people. It is also nice to see the money that is
raised in the community staying in the community.” VISIONSoup takes place on Saturday Nov. 23 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Grace Centre in Sydenham, 4295 Stagecoach Road. Tickets are available at RURAL VISIONS Centre, Sydenham Veterinary Services, King’s Town Chiropractic, Trousdale’s General Store and Frontenac CFDC.

Mary’s brothers always argued over hand-me-down box Mary Cook
Columnist
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Lifestyle – The station master had called that morning. It didn’t matter
what Father had planned for the day, it would have to be put on hold. More important was going into Renfrew and bringing home the hand-me-down box that had arrived from Regina. When we got home from school, there it was, sitting in the middle of the kitchen …a big square wooden box that at one time had held bulk tea. It was lined with a kind of foil, and until it was opened
after supper, there it would sit with its lid nailed shut. Of course, we didn’t lay a finger on it until after the kitchen had been ‘redded’ up, and our hands washed. I was never sure why we had to wash our hands before we could touch a dirty wood box that had come all the way from Regina on the train! Finally, we were ready. We sat around the box on kitchen chairs while Everett pride the lid off with a crow bar. There would be nothing in it but boys clothes, since Aunt Lizzie, the sender of the hand-me-down box had only sons, and there was really nothing in the box to interest my sister Audrey and me. So often we chose to sit at the kitchen table looking through Eaton’s catalogue while my three brothers and Mother pawed through the big box of clothes. Father, of course, showed no interest at all. He was in his usual position in front of the Findlay Oval, half asleep in the rocking chair. But that night, Audrey and I joined the circle as piece after piece of boys’ clothes, and pants
and jackets that had belonged to Uncle Jack, were taken out. Down in the very bottom was a pair of men’s shiny shoes. Well! Emerson grabbed them before anyone else had a chance and claimed them as his own. The brothers had a pair each of well worn laced boots kept for church, and bum rubbers which they wore to school Never had any of the three owned a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Everett thought because he was the oldest, they should belong to him. Emerson roared that he saw them first, and said there would be a ‘roary’ eyed fight if Everett tried to claim them. “They don’t look like they fit you,” Mother said. There was not doubt Emerson was bigger by far than Everett, but Emerson already has his gum rubbers off and cramming his stockinged feet into the shoes. He was getting red in the face, and it didn’t take a genius to see that the shoes were a good inch shorter than Emerson’s enormous feet, but he was going to own them and that’s all there was to it. Before there was any further discussion, he carried the shoes upstairs and put them under the bed he shared with Earl and dared anyone to lay a finger on them! He never once tried them on all week, but every night he brought them downstairs and rubbed them with an old piece of long ‘johns’ from the rag bag. “Ill be wearing those to church on Sunday,” he announced every night. Well, Sunday came, and after the morning chores, we all got dressed for church. Emerson came downstairs, walking like he had a bag of potatoes under his pants, but wearing the new shoes. Mother asked him why he was walking so funny, and he said he was breaking in the shoes. My sister Audrey
said under her breath, “I thin the shoes are breaking in him!” He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled of the new shiny black shoes. He let out a sigh of relief and then pulled off his socks. “What happened to your toes?” I asked him. They were as red as a beet and he had to use his fingers to unbend them. Everett was ready to claim the shoes when Emerson said he could buy them if he wanted, but he certainly wasn’t getting them for nothing! “They are my shoes, and they stay my shoes until you pay for them,” Emerson said, rubbing his toes trying to get the cramps out of them. Well, that’s when Mother entered the fray. She got up from the kitchen table, walked over to where Emerson and the new shiny black shoes were, grabbed them off the floor, and handed them to Everett. She never said a word. She didn’t have to. Everett slipped off his laced boots, and even with heavy grey work socks, he was able to slip his feet in easily. They fit him like thy had been made for him. Emerson hardly spoke to Everett for three days. The hand-me-down box never arrived that there wasn’t an argument over who was to get what. Only when the brothers came to blows and were rolling around on the floor, clutching the piece of clothing the fight was over, would Mother call a halt. She could stand just so much of the carry-on, and then she would give each a slap on the side of the head, or a yank on an ear, while Father, sitting in his rocking chair, never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

Heavenly music on earth Gazette Lifestyle – Like every other year, the Cantabile Choirs of Kingston’s 18th season, Thresholds, is unique. Every good artist and artistic group takes risks and meets challenges. To open this season, under the direction of Dr. Mark Sirett, the Cantabile Choirs presented “by nordic seas,” music from Scandinavia. From the opening concert program notes: “There is a quality to the music of Scandinavia and the Baltic that seems born in the long winter months; the music is often dark, reflective and melancholic. However it is often infused with a delightful sense of humour. It is steeped in tradition yet highly creative regardless of genre.” Thus began the season, not with some predictable formula, not with the expected, but with an innovative interpretation of world music, in this case, Scandinavian. Cantabile comprises seven choirs and more than 250 voices. Concerts are held at their home base of Sydenham Street United Church. Hollie Stewart, Cantabile’s administrative director, notes that, concert attendees can expect only the best. “The choir is excellent and rarified,” she said. “The quality is extremely high. There is carefully wrought attention to detail that
pervades every sense of the organization. It’s a culture of excellence that’s developed.” But excellence does not mean snobby or inaccessible. In fact, the music is highly accessible This is music that can be appreciated by everyone in the community. “The choirs perform these pieces from a repertoire that’s a vast national and international library of music,” said Stewart. She compared the difference in quality in the Cantabile Choirs to moving from house league to rep league in sports. “There is a demanding number of hours that goes into rehearsals and preparation,” she said. “Those involved are intensely dedicated.” When starting the choirs 18 years ago, Dr. Sirett wasn’t sure what to expect. “It really seemed to take a life of its own really fast,” he said. “There are lots of other models in larger cities. It’s hard to believe that it could happen in a small community like Kingston, but here we are. What’s really unique about the space is that it’s largely theatre in the round that lends itself well to all kinds of performances. We often involve choristers down the aisles and up in the gallery so it’s like surround sound. Certainly at Christmas we take ad-
vantage of this. And the setting has such good acoustics.” “Despite the size–it holds 800–it feels very intimate,” said Stewart. “There’s a close connection between audience and performers.” A highlight for the men’s and women’s choirs this year will be a trip to Italy in March. “We will attend Mass at St. Peter’s and also The Cantabile Choirs of Kingston, seen here in last year’s concert, perform their Christat the Basilica mas-themed “by the cradle” by candlelight in Sydenham Street United Church.

It’s time to start walking Christmas concerts return Gazette Lifestyle – Every time I go to see my busy doctor, she asks the inevitable question. “How much exercise are you getting? Do you get up and walk away from your computer on a regular basis? Is it a one or two block walk? How many times a week?” I think about her questions often and I do get up and walk away from my computer or from wherever I am sitting. Using my walking sticks I pace around the house. Downtown I push a cart down store aisles but I know full well that is not enough And walking on the streets of Kingston I have to keep looking down for fear of tripping and falling… there is little pleasure in that. So it was wonderful to be reminded by Stephanie Sciberras Physical Activity Specialist with KFL&A Public Health that the Winter Indoor Walking Program which originated with KFL&A is available not only in Kingston but also on Wolfe Island, (where I live), on Sunday mornings. In the fall of 2012 the Wolfe Island Network for a Healthy Community (WIN) approached KFL&A Public Health indicating interest in hosting an indoor winter walking program on the Island.. Potential sites for the
program were reviewed and in partnership with the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, Sacred Heart School was secured as the sixth Walk On program site. A group of five volunteers was trained and the walks officially started in February of 2012. The Wolfe Island program began its second winter season last week and is offered every Sunday between November and the end of March from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In Kingston it is available at three venues, the Memorial and INVISTA Centres and LaSalle Secondary School, as well as at Perth Road Public School Inverary, and Napanee District SS, in some cases twice a week, at different times and on days other than Sunday – “all in safe, free, and social walking environments.” This year, to provide additional motivation, walkers are participating in a Walk Across Canada challenge where every step taken counts towards meeting their goal of walking between St. John’s Newfoundland, and Tofino British Columbia. Walks are free, open to all ages and there is no registration required. For more information, call 613-1232, ext. 1180. I’ve No excuse now. It is time to start walking!
tura soprano Claire de Sévigné and Cantabile alumnus Geoffrey Sirett. You’ll hear music by Tchaikovsky, Puccini, Jerome Kern as well as excerpts from Les Misérables. The final concert of the season, on May 24, is “by the hearth,” which will be a fun evening of stories and songs. The choirs will be joined by The Swamp Ward Orchestra, comprising Jan Le Clair on accordion, Alison Gowan on hurdy gurdies and bass, and Laura Murray on cello and banjo. They combine various European sounds from medieval to musette, circus to café, and write their our own tunes in tribute to these traditions. They say they love to throw themselves into very old songs. “It will be mostly lighter fare,” said Dr. Sirett. “We’ll have Canadian repertoire with an emphasis on folk songs. We’ll be taking a look at folkloric music form the early days of Canada, things immigrants would have brought with them.” Tickets are on sale for all concerts of the season. The price is the best music deal in town. In any major centre, you could easily pay quadruple for music of this quality. Adults tickets, $25; Seniors, $23; Ages 30 and under, $23; children, $15. For tickets or more information, visit the website www.cantabilechoirs.ca or contact 613-549- 0099 or info@cantabilechoirs.net.

Performances will be held on Dec. 20 and 21, including a matinee and evening performance on the 21st. Candlelight will add to the warmth of the season for the Christmas performances. “Our Christmas concerts are special because of all the processions and Mass carols, as well as the use of candlelight,” said Dr. Sirett. “It’s a pretty unique atmosphere. There’s a real sense of beauty to those shows.” “It’s a great blend of things people really seem to need at Christmas,” added Stewart. “And there will be some jazzier stuff. People really relish and enjoy this show. The singers are so happy. It’s pretty irresistible.” On March 1, an Australian theme features “by the billabong,” a musical evening with one of the world’s great choral luminaries: Australian Stephen Leek. The composer, conductor, educator and Vice-President of the International Federation for Choral Music brings his unique compositions, inspired by Australian landscape, wildlife & Aboriginal music to the stage. “He performs around the world,” said Dr. Sirett. “We’re pretty lucky to have him coming to Kinston to perform with the choirs. It will be mostly music of his own creation, inspired by Australia. There will be references to aboriginal music, the didgeridoo and traditional Australian folk songs.” April’s concert, “by the footlights,” will feature opera, operetta and musical theatre. Performing with the choirs will be colora-

what tears at Ender’s soul. There were times during Ender’s Game when I felt they rushed things. I suppose that’s just the difference between books and movies. Books have all the time in the world for developing story, setting and characters. Movies don’t always have that luxury. Despite that however, Ender’s Game gets so much of this story right I was willing to overlook the few flaws. This is an incredible film with wonderful visuals, a remarkable cast, and a story that’s thrilling, inspiring

and beautifully sad. From Aramis Knight as Bean, to Hailee Steinfeld as Petra, to Moises Arias as Bonzo to Abigail Breslin as Valentine Wiggin this cast is perfectly chosen. Viola Davis is brilliant as Major Gwen Anderson, and I love Ben Kingsley as legendary hero Mazer Rackham. For his part Harrison Ford plays Colonel Graff with such conviction you could almost forgive him for what he does to Ender. Then there is Ender. Asa Butterfield is a better Ender than I could have hoped for. He portrays all of Ender’s depth right to the very soul of the character. Good science fiction isn’t about aliens or spaceships, it’s about holding a mirror up to ourselves. Ender’s Game is very good science fiction. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.
Famous author has Lanark County connection By: Jeff Maguire Columnist
Gazette Lifestyle – Last week I spent an enjoyable afternoon interviewing two sisters who are very proud of a famous cousin of theirs and would like more people to know about her connection to this region. Eleanor Henderson and Irene Papworth (nee Chamney) are first cousins of Alice Munro who, on Oct. 10, became the first Canadian woman ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Munro, 82, a native of Wingham, Ontario is just the 13th woman to win the award sponsored by the Swedish society since it was inaugurated 112 years ago. During the awards announcement in Stockholm, Munro was praised as “the master of the contemporary short story.” Her body of fictional work goes back to 1968 and her highly acclaimed first collection of short stories entitled ‘Dance of the Happy Shades.’ She has written many outstanding short story collections since then. Most are set in her native Huron County. Wingham is 50 kilometres from the Lake Huron town of Goderich. Munro’s strong regional focus is considered one of the strengths of her fiction. She currently lives in Clinton, Ontario not far from her hometown. Although the Nobel Prize is un-
doubtedly her greatest honour, the author also captured the 2009 Man Brooker International Prize (from the UK based Man Group) in recognition of her body of work. In Canada Munro is a three-time winner of the Governor General’s Award for fiction. She has also won other awards presented by organizations in Canada, the United States and France. In early October she was named as the 2013 recipient of the $25,000 Harbourfest Festival Prize presented by the Toronto International Festival of Authors. Munro told CBC News that she had always considered winning the Nobel Prize “one of those pipe dreams that might happen but probably wouldn’t.” Unfortunately the writer’s health has been poor in recent years and media reports say she is unlikely to attend the actual award presentation ceremony scheduled for Stockholm on Dec. 10. The Nobel Prize, one of the most prestigious in the literary world, carries a cash prize of eight million Swedish kroner, about $1.2 million U.S. Little wonder her cousins here are so proud of her. Munro’s accomplishments stand with those of the very best writers in history. She is often called “the English Chekhov.” Munro’s mother was Anne Clarke Chamney. She, Henderson and Pap-
worth share a grandfather, the late George Chamney. Their grandmother Bertha (nee Stanley) was a school teacher. The Chamney girls grew up on the family farm at Scotch Corners on the west side of Mississippi Lake, 12 km southwest of Carleton Place. The descendants of Irish immigrants the ladies’ great grandfather Edward secured a land grant in Lanark County. Munro’s great grandparents and later her grandparents farmed for decades. Edward Chamney married Ann Code which means the Chamney’s, Codes and Stanley’s are all related. Among the descendants are a number of Codes who currently live in Carleton Place and district. Early life Munro’s mother Anne, who also became a schoolteacher, met and married Robert Eric Laidlaw a fox and mink farmer. Earlier in the family history, with opportunities to secure land in Eastern Ontario waning, members of the Code family moved to Huron County, settling
near Wingham. It was there that another descendant, Alice Munro, grew up and attended school. She published her first short story as a teenager. Alice went on to study English and journalism at the University of Western Ontario in nearby London. There she met fellow student James Munro. She left school to marry him. The young couple headed west, first to Vancouver and then, in 1963, to Victoria on Vancouver Island where they opened a book store. Eleanor Henderson notes that the store, which helped revive her cousin’s interest in writing, is still operating. The Munro’s had four children, one of whom died in infancy. They eventually divorced and Alice moved back
to Ontario. She later married Gerald Fremlin, a World War II air force veteran who worked as a geographer and cartographer. Fremlin died in April of this year. Henderson, who continued the family tradition by becoming a school teacher, married Eldon Henderson who later served as the mayor of Carleton Place in the 1970s. The couple also had four children. Eleanor has followed her famous cousin’s writing career from afar. Munro did spend some summers at the family farm near Scotch Corners, but Henderson was too young to remember that.

Alice Munro is shown with her cousin Scott Henderson, a Carleton Place native, at the 2007 Giller Awards ceremony in Toronto. Munro won the Giller in 2004. Last month the popular Canadian author received the biggest honour of her outstanding career when she was named the 2013 recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature. She is the first Canadian woman to claim the prestigious award and just the 13th female winner in the 112-year history of the honour. Photo courtesy of Eleanor Henderson

Munro herself does remember however! She told Henderson’s oldest son Scott, now the vice-president of communications for Bell Media in Toronto (including CTV television), about meeting his mother when she (Eleanor) was very young. Scott contacted Munro by mail when Foodland Ontario he was 14 to introduce himself. The author is too busy to be in regular contact with her extended family although she has stayed in touch with Henderson’s cousin Muriel in Perth, the daughter of her Uncle Joe Chamney. Scott Henderson’s letter prompted a Christmas message from Munro. In the letter to Eleanor she expressed delight at hearing from him. “I think Scott believes we never met,” she wrote her Carleton Place cousin. “But of course we did. I remember you when you were about six. You had blonde hair and I think brown eyes, small bones and delicate features.” Munro’s comments about his mother as a young girl surprised Scott.

Gazette Lifestyle - These scones are great with soup. Sandwiched with sliced baked ham and maple mustard, these are delicious for lunch or, if you make mini scones, perfect cocktail party fare.
Vivid memories Papworth, who is seven years older than Henderson, has more vivid memories of Munro and her visits to Lanark County as a young girl. “I don’t think we did anything very exciting,” she laughs. “We were always so busy on the farm. “But I do remember my mother telling me that Alice ‘has a crush’ on a young man who lived across the road.” Munro was 14 at the time, a year older than Papworth. The sisters have more recent memories of the writer. Munro attended a family reunion held at Scotch Corners in 1995. Group photos of family members, including the well-known author, are among the women’s prized possessions. “She toured the farm house (then owned by Wilf and Sandra Cook) and the school house,” Henderson recalls. Henderson played a pivotal role in a recent project which produced a book about the one room school which was attended by all six children in her family. Munro purchased a copy of the history from her Carleton Place cousin. A few years ago Munro brought her brother Bill (he was unable to attend the reunion) to the area and gave him a tour which included the old family homestead. Henderson also assisted writer Robert Thacker in researching his 2005 biography about Munro. It’s entitled ‘Alice Munro: Writing Her Lives’. She aided Thacker’s extensive research into the Chamney family history. She accompanied him on a visit to the old family farm and provided documentation and photographs of the family. The biography contains details about the Chamney family and their former property at Scotch Corners. For her efforts Henderson received a copy of the book which her oldest sister is currently reading. Both have read Munro’s books and chuckle when referring to “the sexy bits”. Henderson admits her cousin’s writing style didn’t appeal to some residents of her hometown (Wingham) when her books first hit the market. “But now that she’s famous I think the town is very proud to be able to call her one of their own,” she says with a smile.

As far as the differing opinions you’re getting regarding four-wheel drive usage it boils down to: a little from column A and a little from column B. Most light duty trucks no longer have a solid front axle but a differential with flexible CV (constant velocity joint) style front axle shafts similar to those used on front-wheel drive autos. These reduce much of the driveline harshness that plagued traditional solid axle units. If you engage your truck in 4WD and then try to take a tight corner, you will feel some jerky resistance in the steering as the speed of the inside road wheel over-takes the speed of the driveshaft. This is what can damage 4WD components if done regularly over a period of time. But your truck should easily make wider turns in 4WD without a problem, no matter what type of surface it’s rolling on. Therefore it’s not a bad idea to ‘exercise’ the
Gazette Lifestyle – “Dear Mr. Turner, I always enjoy reading your column and advice. I wonder if you would kindly provide some guidance regarding the use of four wheel drive vehicles. I am an owner of a new 2013 GMC Sierra pick-up equipped with electronic 4 wheel drive control. I am told, and I read, that the 4 wheel drive should not be used unless driving on gravel roads or uneven terrain. Others say there is no ill effect driving 4 wheels anytime no matter the road conditions. With winter approaching, any advice you can provide would be appreciated for driving in snow or wet road conditions then for dry summer road conditions. Would you also explain the effect, if any, using 4 wheel drive could have on the vehicle’s transfer case in certain road conditions and is there a need to exercise the 4 wheel drive train

If your 4WD system has a low range, I’d suggest trying that out monthly but only for a few yards at low speeds. I’ve included the relevant section (below) from your vehicle’s owner’s manual. “Driving on clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel Drive High or FourWheel Drive Low for an extended period of time may cause premature wear on the vehicle’s power-train. Do not drive on clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel Drive High or Four-Wheel Drive Low for extended periods of time.” Distracted driving Ford of Canada recently commissioned a survey on distracted driving habits and the results aren’t promising.

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 pot-

holes. * 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 conditions during the winter months, so a close inspection of belts and hoses should be conducted in late fall. In addition, windshield wipers are especially important in winter, when snowfall can drastically impact visibility. You will want your wipers working at full capacity once the winter begins, so replace older

wipers (shelf life for standard wipers is typically one year) and use a de-icing windshield washer fluid to maximize visibility. Another component that must be inspected is your car’s battery. Many drivers have experienced a dead battery, which, in warm weather, is more of a nuisance than a health concern. In cold weather, a dead battery can threaten your health if you find yourself stranded in cold weather. Especially low temperatures can compromise a battery’s power by as much as 50 percent, so have your battery inspected in late fall and replace it if need be. * Don’t be caught off guard. Part of winterizing a vehicle is be-
ing prepared if the vehicle breaks down. Make sure you have extra washer fluid in your vehicle’s trunk, and don’t forget to include an ice scraper, snow brush or even a snow shovel in the trunk as well. A snow shovel may be necessary if you need to dig your car out if it’s been buried somewhere other than your driveway. Other items to carry in your trunk include a blanket, a change of clothes, an extra hat, an extra pair of gloves, some nonperishable food, and a few bottles of water. Winter can be especially harsh on automobiles. But drivers can take several preventive steps to ensure their vehicle is safe and sound on the roads this winter.

Enchanté
Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world
Mark Bergin
Healthy lifestyle feeds artist’s creativity Continued from page 21
Their home and the studio is located on 60 acres of beautiful rolling hills and forest. “There’s a beaver pond back there,” he said, waving his hand toward the woods. “I’ve cut trails through the forest. The kids are free out here. There’s so much for them to learn.” A sense of peace and contentment surrounds him. He’s building a sauna near the barn. “From the time I was six years old, I grew up going to the sauna with my parents,” he said. “At first, I’d just go in for a minute and then hang out by the pool while my parents were in the sauna. We did this every week. It’s a cultural thing. It’s so good for the body.” He’s already built a working studio with several anvils, forges and hundreds of tools. He plans on putting a gallery in the barn. Stefan said it’s important to have time for his children and to create art. He said that a healthy lifestyle is good for his family and his art. Becoming a father has helped him become more centered. It’s also resulted in a lack of sleep. “Art and health go together,” he said. “I started to realize that my
body was collapsing from the lack of sleep and stress. I couldn’t do this if it weren’t for a healthy lifestyle.” He altered his nutritional intake. He cut sugar from his diet. He drinks no alcohol. The family grows their own healthy food in the vegetable garden. “Since I made the changes, I have so much energy now.” I asked if he thought either of his children would follow in his artistic footsteps. “I don’t know if Savannah will become interested,” he said. “Lance comes in here and we’ve forged a scroll together. I put safety glasses and ear protection on him and he sits and just watches. He’s mesmerized. So he has his own little hammers now and loves to just hammer away. It never occurred to me that either of them would pick this up, but they can do whatever they want. If they want to do something like this, they’d sure be ahead of the game.” He doesn’t think about why he creates. “I have to do it,” he said. “I can’t help myself. In theory, I could come in here and spend the next year without any sleep creating stuff. I have sketch books going back ten years. Every day I go
in the woods and I see something that I think would be really good in sculpture and I could make it right here. The art, I can’t help it; if I didn’t do it, I would go crazy. It’s quite an organic process. I’m fusing the organic and the minimalist abstract.” In addition to creating his own works, Stefan leads blacksmithing workshops in his studio. He’s set up with several anvils and furnaces for several people to work. He’ll be running more workshops in December, January and Februray. In the past he’s had a variety of participants. “I’ve had men and women, young and old,” he said. “There are some 18 year old kids who are already fascinated with it. It’s great to pass something on that people can use. It keeps it alive.” He explained that the summer is too hot for daylong blacksmithing workshops, but he’d like to combine a number of programs. He’s hoping to build a yoga center in the barn. Once the structures are complete, there’ll be a blacksmith studio (already built and functioning), a sauna (mostly built), a gallery, a yoga studio and walking trails as far as the eye can see. He’s creating a sculpture path. There would
also be a treatment room for Jin to see his work in galleries in CaliShin Do. fornia and New York City. “People could come out here and “That’s where it’s really happenwork a half day with the fire and ing,” he said. then do yoga and acupressure, then But his creative and family sancenjoy the sun and go for a walk and tum sanctorum is the 60 acres of hang out in the afternoon and work peace in rural Ontario.

1948 Ford police car found at Canadian Transportation Museum today is only 30,100 miles. All body work and mechanical work was performed by volunteers in the 20’s garage at the Museum. The decision was made to transform it into a police cruiser with black paint and white doors and a flashing red light on the roof. It even has a police radio. According to the museum files, Marc Bodechon on Westcott Road had a 1958 OPP police radio, amplifier, speakers, and microphone which he sold to Heritage Village (where the museum is located) for $100. This car still has its original flathead V8 engine under the hood with 239 cubic inches cranking out a very respectable 100 horsepower, enough to get you a speeding ticket if you keep the pedal

Gazette Lifestyle – On a recent visit to the Canadian Transportation Museum on the Arner Town Line about 30 kilometres south of Windsor, Ont., I had the pleasure of photographing a 1948 Ford Tudor sedan redone as a period police car. Right away, it reminded me of all the old movies shot in Los Angeles in the late ‘40s and into the ‘50s with 1948 Ford police cars. These ’48 Fords apparently
made up the entire fleet at one time. And why not? With Henry Ford’s legendary V8 engine under the hood, these cars had lots of pep for chasing bank robbers and other lawbreakers. The police car at the museum was built at the Ford factory in Windsor and was given a Canadian serial number: 050H48-17362D. The letter “H” designates the home plant in Windsor. Five years later, production was moved to Oakville and all the cars built there had serial numbers with the letter “K”. Velma Swarts of Harrow, Ont., donated this car to the museum on Oct. 16, 2003. The original colour was grey and the odometer reading

Taste Kingston’s Olive Oil Company Gazette Lifestyle – “Olive oil shots?” my friend stared at me when I suggested we head downtown for a food demo by Le Chien Noir sous chef, Eric Brennan at the new Kingston Olive Oil Company, located at 62 Brock Street. We ducked in and were greeted by owners Shaun and Julia Finucane. The shelves are lined with a wide variety of premium olive oils and vinegars from around the world. It’s a great concept store; fresh olive oil is like nectar from the gods. The fresher the better, and its so fresh that the crush date is labeled on the bottles. They import seasonally
from the harvest in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The olive oil is from olives grown and pressed by small-scale artisans and farmers. You will find oils from Spain, Italy, Australia and America, as well as other regions. I was introduced to the health benefits of cooking with olive oil years ago and have never looked back. It’s a well-documented fact that olive oil is one the most indispensible ingredients of a healthy diet. The anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants are essential properties. Perhaps the best benefit is
that it’s rich in monounsaturated fatty acid, which is the healthiest type of fat. Olive oil has an expiration date, which is why it’s best to know when the crush date is. Sadly, many of us do not know how to tell rancid oil from fresh. When you buy from the supermarket you do not know how long it’s been sitting or when it was first crushed. Best buy dates are usually two years, but when was it crushed? Smell the oil; it should have a fresh grass or spicy pepper smell. Taste it, does it have a soft subtle finish or a zippy peppery kick? It should be either. If its smells nutty or like crayons or worst tastes greasy, it’s rancid. Like a fine wine, once you open a bottle of olive oil it has a limited shelf life. That’s why it’s best to buy a smaller bottle than REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL – FINANCIAL AUDIT SERVICES a large container The Township of south Frontenac is requesting proposals from interested parties for Financial Audit Services. unless you are usFor more information, please visit our website. ing it often.

air and humidity. Store in a dark cool place. I know people who store it in the fridge; my thought is that it changes the consistency but others would argue that it doesn’t. But, no need to throw it out if it’s gone off, use it on squeaky doors or as candle oil. Olive oil is a mainstay for a variety of recipes, from pestos, drizzling in your salad, pasta and more. I was keen to see what Chef Eric had planned for the demo. It was a rainy Saturday; the guests were excited to learn a new skill from one of Kingston’s rock star chefs. A large group was settled into the back of the store. The green grass smell of olive oil poignant in the air, I began to drool as Chef Eric seared the fresh perch infused in olive oil. He used the organic Picual oil (available in store) in the tarter sauce. It’s tropical fruity oil with a smooth beginning and a slightly bitter centre with a lingering pepper finish. I tried a little of the oil on its own in one of the tasting shot glasses available. My friend and I sipped at it and enjoyed the finish. It tastes lovely on its own and even better when the Chef serves the fish hot from the pan, with chips and the tasty tarter sauce in-

fused with oil. The store is a welcome addition to Brock Street Common, steps from the Farmers’ Market. You will discover not only premium olive oils but aged balsamic vinegar and gourmet salts. The prices range from $18 - $21 for oils and vinegars and $12 for gourmet salts. It’s a great place for loading up on stocking stuffers for the foodie in your life…(hint, hint to my family) although my husband already thinks I should own shares. I can’t get enough of all the different flavors. Drop in on for the next cooking demonstration on Nov. 30 with Aquaterra chef, Clark Day. It promises to be a lovely afternoon of tasting and swilling olive oil. Check out their website, kingstonoliveoil.com, for great ideas and recipes using olive oil and vinegars.

who focuses on the lesser known iron art. “I work with stainless steel and metal. I make buckles, pendants, cuffs – more accessories than
because the stainless steel is much different. I start with raw material which is usually a blank piece of stainless steel and I usually buy it in sheets. Then I cut them and work with them. I add the textures and the colours are all derived with heat, not a stain or a tint that I would put on. It is all heat treated to bring out the colour and the texture and the sheens are done that way too.” Aucoin has been working with different mediums of art for as long as he can remember. He does everything from portraits to furniture-making and just recently discovered his love for making these beautiful accessories. “Right now, my focus is to stay on the accessories. The demand and interest is increasing for these items so I want to keep producing them. I also want to increase the popularity of these items.

They are unique and really make a statement, and they will look the same in 100 years as they do now.” For Aucoin, the interest in the festival is the types of people coming out and seeing his work. While he does sell his work online and has success with that, he’d really like to expand into new groups of consumers. “I’ve been working on more nautical themed pieces and I think this show is the perfect place to introduce this kind of new line of accessories. I’d really like to get more involved with sailing events and maybe some music and blues events as well.”
Showcase For both Aucoin and Bell, the Thousand Islands Art Show is about showcasing what they love to do. Both enjoy the variety that comes with their work and they couldn’t be happier to show it off. “My favorite part of doing stained glass is that it is very relaxing and rewarding,” said Bell, “I like to think of myself as being rather artistic and I love finding new outlets and challenges for myself artistically. Every piece is different and everyday is different and I love that.” The Thousand Islands Art show and sale takes place in Rockport on Nov. 16 and 17. For more information visit www.tiarts.ca

Soul Survivors release Christmas CD to benefit Food Bank By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Events – Listening to Christmas classics is the best way to get into the holiday spirit. This year, Soul Survivors and the Partners in Mission Food Bank have the perfect Christmas compilation for every holiday gathering. ‘A Soul Survivors Christmas’ is in stores now. In addition to being an awesome collection of holiday favorites, all proceeds from the CD go to the food bank. This is the second time Partners in Mission Food Bank have taken on the task of putting out a CD and they hope it will be as successful as
it was three years ago. “We did a CD back in 2010 and I sang on a number of songs with Sarah Harmer and Kelly Trotier and a few other artists,” said Sandy Singers, Executive Director of Partners in Mission Food Bank. “It was really successful and we did over $22,000 in sales on it and all of those proceeds went directly to us and our programs. This time around I reformed a band that I had been with nine years ago called Soul Survivors and we started playing together at the start of this past year and we thought we could do a Christmas CD.” The CD idea originally came about as something new and fun
that could also raise funds. Thinking outside the box is something that Singers strives to do in his role at the food bank and he also had some fun in the process. “It is a great idea and it is different. In non-profit and fundraising, we are always looking for unique projects and trying to think of different ways to raise awareness about the cause. This seemed to be a natural fit for me, to kind of bring my two worlds together as one. It was a lot of fun to do, even though we were in shorts and t-shirts at the time. We started production in July so it was a little weird, but the deadline comes up so fast.” The money raised supports core funding for the
food bank. It is used for a myriad of things like purchasing food, running the office, and keeping staff in place. “Without these funds it would be impossible to do what we do,” said Singers. “The CD will be released on Nov. 13 and will be available at RBC locations, Cooke’s Fine Foods, and we are trying to piece together a few more. They are only $15 and that is a great price for 12 Christmas classics. It is a pretty fun little package that we’ve put together.” The CD will be promoted throughout the city in the coming weeks and Singers hopes that the 2,000 copies will sell out. There are also a limited number of
copies of the 2010 CD available too for those who are interested. The food bank will also be having a CD release party of sorts on Nov. 22 to celebrate the project and Singers encourages people to come check it out. “We are playing at Zorba’s on Nov. 22. It is a Christmas Party that is hosted for smaller companies that don’t have a ton of staff. We book a place there and it generally sells out so that is becoming our kind of unofficial release party. We will be selling the CDs there and people can see us too.” For more information on the CD and how to support the Partners in Mission Food Bank visit www. kingstonfoodbank.net
