North Frontenac Food Bank finds a new home By Craig Bakay Reporter
Wilton Tractor Parade Gazette Events – Three year-old Quinn Palmer brings his own tractor to the Wilton parade on Canada Day.
Gazette News — The North Frontenac Food Bank volunteers welcomed the public to their new digs last week in Sharbot Lake. The food bank had been operating out of the basement of St. Andrews Church in Sharbot Lake, but there wasn’t much room and none for a fridge or freezer. “We ran out of space,” said chair Kim Cucoch. “Our client base has been going up, mainly because seniors’ pensions aren’t cutting it.” Sharbot Lake resident Rosemarie Bowick came to the rescue with space in her building on Garrett Street (it’s at the back, behind the St. Lawrence College offices and across from the Frontenac News). But, they still needed funds to renovate, put up Photo/John Harman shelves and buy the fridge and freezer they needed
to take advantage of their new membership in the Ontario Association of Food Banks. The OAFB makes thinks like eggs, milk and meat available but they have to stored properly. “Last November, one of our members, Tracy Bamford, came across a grant from Kraft Canada through the Food Banks Canada website,” said Cucoch. “It was a building capacity grant.” The local folks didn’t get their hopes up because only four such grants are awarded in Ontario each year. “We found out in February we were one of the four selected,” she said. With that grant, they were able to buy the materials they needed and local contractor Bill Young donated his time to build the stairs. Continued on page 9

Home team takes home the trophy in Canada Day duct-tape boat race By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — Captain Mike Steeves spent June 30 working on a secret boat design . . . he also spent a few minutes clearing space on his mantle for the fire truck and mystery leaf trophy, emblematic of Sharbot Lake duct-tape boat race supremacy. His ground-breaking design, he said: “is specially constructed, with a honeycomb of cardboard laced with struts and doubleskinned bottom. “It’s all science.” It was brave, pre-race trash talk for a man facing a proven winning craft, the Irish Itchy Butts, co-captained by the upstart Kemptville/Smiths Falls team of Kevin Callaghan and Kerry Craig. Earlier in the day, the sleek, dragon-prowed vessel had taken the under-14 title (it would go on to win best adults design and best theme medals) and the team entrants were determined to make their annual camping trip into a clean sweep of the annual Canada Day duct-tape boat races at the Sharbot Lake basin. Conditions were less than ideal. Under
darkened skies, a constant wind kicked up brutal waves as raindrops the size of snow peas pelted the contestants. The two teams were neck-and-neck rounding the turn when they crashed into one another. The Irish Itchy Butts, with its crew outnumbering the Shar-boat more than two to one (Steeves’ only crew was his wife Jocelyn), managed to recover quicker and despite a valiant effort from the Sharboat hit the shore first. But, as the Itchy Butts began their victory celebration, race official Dave Willis announced there had been a false start. The younger Itchy Butts team had pushed their elder counterparts in violation of the rules. Willis had called it immediately but in the confusion of the start and inclement weather, it was impossible to call the contestants back once they got started. But both teams were confident as they lined up for the second start. With its numerical advantage, the Irish Itchy Butts looked like it would again finish first, sprinting out to a short lead. But, almost inexplicably, the dragon boat began to slow. Halfway to the turnaround
buoys, it became apparent not all was well. By the time the Shar-boat passed her, the Itchy Butts had broke deep and took water. With their competitors floundering, the Steeves rocketed past them, reaching the finish line before the others even managed to drag their foundering craft to shore. “She was only designed for two races,” explained Callaghan. For his part, Steeves was crowing loudly. “She (Shar-boat) performed beautifully,” he said. “She’ll be resurrected for next year.” In the under-14 division, the Callaghans, Jessica and Justin, and the Craigs, But don’t count on it. Dylan and Bridget, were captained by Luke Callaghan aboard Irish Itchy “No,” said Jocelyn. “On the way out, Butts for a decisive win. Photo/Craig Bakay he kept hitting me with his paddle.”

Portland & Area Heritage Society still draws a crowd for strawberry social Reporter
R0012789525
Gazette News — Even without the Frontenac Farmers’ Market, the Portland District & Area Heritage Society still manages to draw a crowd for its annual Strawberry Social fundraiser. “We had 30 people here in the first hour,” said Society chair Barbara Stewart. This is a big year for the Society as it’s working on fixing up the old schoolhouse in Hartington as a showcase museum/archives for the 150th anniversary celebrations in Frontenac County next year. “Our hopes and wishes are that we’ll be open for the big celebration in 2015,” she said. “We have quite a collection in the school now that we’ve been working on since 2002. “We’ve learned the ropes and the big thing now is accessibility at the old school.” The Society holds two fundraisers a year (the other being a bake sale in the fall) and they’re proud of the fact that they’re in the black every year despite having never received a grant of any sort. Of course that doesn’t mean they’re not open to grant money, should they manage to make a successful application. “We could use some new windows at the old school so we plan to apply for a Trillium grant and
the Township has been very helpful in that regard,” she said. “The Township still has some more work to do on the outside to make the building a little more presentable but they’ve been really good to us.” While the fundraisers help a lot, the Society has another revenue stream that’s been working quite well for them — memberships and donations. “We’ve been very fortunate that way,” Stewart said. “People are very generous. “Memberships are $10 but many people will send a cheque for more than that when they renew.” They’ve also had six of the nine windows they need donated, not to mention volunteer help (former chair Ken Brown, despite having moved to Pembroke, came back to put up some shelves and hang a picture of the Queen). But, like most volunteer organizations these days, they’re always on the lookout for new members. You can join simply by contacting any Society member or by contacting Stewart at 613-374-2191 (charles_stewart_1@sympatico.ca) or secretary Irene Bauder at 613-374-2157 (bauder39@hotmail. com). “We’re also looking for family histories,” Stewart said. “We have a few but we’d like more. “It’s like pulling teeth to get them from people sometimes and I know, because I’m the biggest culprit.”

report to show how the funds were used and to summarize the number of new clients they were able to serve so that when the campaign starts up again next year they will have concrete results to show donors. “People want to help our services and we hope to keep increasing the services each year despite the lack of funding from the government,” added Townsend. “Knowing the difference we are making in the lives of seniors and lower income families out here, the community is really recognizing that. It is a great rallying cry for being a rural resident.” To celebrate reaching their goal, SFCSC will be holding a BBQ at the Grace Centre on Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 12 p.m. The public is invited to attend and cost is $10 per person.
Gazette News – They did it –after starting their first ever Enhancement Campaign back in February, Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation (SFCSC) have reached their fundraising goal ahead of schedule. “We reached the goal a few weeks ago, but we didn’t want to make the official announcement until the end of June,” explained Kathryn O’Hara, fund development and promotions for SFCSC. “We actually raised 16 per cent more than our goal and that is just fantastic.” The campaign is a fundraising initiative that will enhance health and social services in the area. SFCSC is partially funded by the government, but in 2011 funds were frozen at a set dollar amount for each year. Unfortunately, as costs for services rise funding does not, so the organization was forced to come up with their own plan to maintain services. “We’ve had a great committee and everyone really came together for it,” said David Townsend, executive director for SFCSC. “We have people coming forward recognizing that we are delivering essential services and donating immediately. It has been absolutely phenomenal.” The campaign also received a large donation of $25,000, half of the goal, from The W.J. Henderson Foundation, which supports health care facilities, museums and other charitable activities in Kingston and the surrounding area. “John Trousdale was instrumental in securing that grant and we were just blown away by their generosity,” explained Townsend. “We had a list of names and contacts to go through to ask for donations and I think we only got through about 40 From left: Enhancement Campaign committee members Mark Segsworth, David per cent of that list before we reached our goal. We Townsend, Christine Kennedy, Kathryn O’Hara and Wes Garrod proudly stand in front of know that this will have to be a yearly campaign their campaign sign.

Did we get a deal; not only did we get an efficient Furnace, we also arranged to get the A/C unit at half price and they offered us a choice of a WiFI Thermostat, Humidifier or a Media Air Filter for FREE. YES, WE SAID FREE. Just the **WiFi Thermostat is worth $399. Imagine, we now can actually monitor our system using our cell phone; even when we are down south during the winter or from the cottage.

$6 MILLION NEEDED FOR SECOND MRI AT KGH
O
ur region is fortunate to have the best stroke care possible, but our care providers need access to the best tools to provide that care. It is very import to have access to diagnostic information, in a timely fashion. Earlier diagnoses, better treatments and improved outcomes will result from the installation of a second tertiary care MRI. As KGH’s role in providing the highest level of specialty care (such as cancer care and stroke care) has grown, access to critical equipment such as MRI, has not. The province will provide ongoing operational funding for a second machine, but the community needs to raise the $6 million needed for the purchase and installation of the equipment. The need is clear. At any given time, there are 850 people waiting for an MRI at KGH. It is where the most complex scans are completed in the region. Anyone who is well enough and can be served at a communitybased clinic is referred there. Scans that must be
done at KGH are those that require special skill sets, equipment and services such as general anesthetic for children. Those waiting for MRI scans are prioritized by need. But because of the growing demand in our region, far too often, appointments are cancelled because a more urgent patient needs to be scanned. Imagine having a child who requires MRI scans every three months to monitor brain cancer and learning that the earliest they can get in is HYHU\ ÀYH PRQWKV More specialized care and better treatments are also resulting in more demand for diagnostic services such as MRI. This is particularly true with the delivery of cancer
care. Best practices for treatment (known as clinical standards of care) call for MRI in more instances for screening, diagnosis, disease staging, treatment planning and post-treatment assessment. “This is about providing people with access to the imaging care they need, when they need it,” says Karen Pearson, Director of Imaging Services for KGH and Hotel Dieu Hospital. “Not only will it help us meet wait time expectations, but most importantly, it will provide patients and their care teams with access to the information they need to get on with their treatment.”

Saving our planet, one item at a time!
By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Gazette News —On July 1, a very special Canada Day celebration was held at a school in Mbita, Kenya, where the Kingston-based national charity CanAssist African Relief Trust has provided classrooms, school supplies and two new latrine buildings. In nearby Osiri Village, Kenya, children also raised the Canadian flag on July 1 at the S.P. Geddes Early Childhood Development Centre, another school that has been supported by CanAssist. “They’re very grateful for the things that we provide,” says John Geddes, a local physician who started CanAssist in 2008; he notes that it’s very moving to see the students who have benefited from the charity express their gratitude in this way. “They’ll often say, ‘we just can’t believe that there are people who don’t know us from so far away that care enough about us to help.’ It’s always very touching to me when I hear that. They’re very conscious of that and grateful because they do recognize that there are strangers in Canada who are concerned enough about their wellbeing that they’ll put themselves out in some way to donate.” Geddes travels to Africa several times a year to oversee the CanAssist projects,
which include catchment wells, latrines, washrooms, school supplies and hospital beds; they are provided for organizations like schools, clinics, community groups and women’s groups. Since 2008, the charity has done half a million dollars of work in east Africa. “That money goes a long way over there,” Geddes says, explaining that “we don’t do programming, we do tangible infrastructure.” Community groups apply to CanAssist for funding for whatever they feel they need the most. “We don’t go out and say ‘we’re only doing these things,’ Geddes says. “We say ‘what infrastructure project do you think would benefit your community’ and we look through the applications and select several that we can do over the next year. Then we try and fundraise for those specific projects throughout the year.” Currently, CanAssist is accepting donations to fund catchment tanks in nine schools and a clinic; the hope is to have them in place for the rainy season later this year. The project has already received a $12,500 donation from the Sasamat Foundation out of Vancouver. The Sasamat Foundation has also agreed to match all other donations CanAssist receives during the month of July, up to $5,000. Geddes
hopes to raise at least that amount. “That way we’d have at least $22,000 and we figure there’ll be at least 3,000 kids who will benefit from that as well as people at the clinic,” he explains. Several times a year, donors are invited to local functions to see photos of the projects and learn more about what’s being done. Some donors have even travelled to east Africa to help with the projects themselves and view them firsthand. “Whenever we go and visit they’re always very generous,” Geddes says. “They always sing and sometimes have food. People usually find that the African people are just so loving and generous and community-oriented – more so than we are.” To learn more about CanAssist and the 2014 Canada Day Challenge, visit www. canassistafrica.ca. There are a number of ways you can make a donation, including by mail (the address is on the website), online, or regular credit card payments.

In Our Opinion
After 50 years of playing guitar, you’d think a guy would be a lot better at it The mid-’60s were arguably the most influential time for the Baby Boom Generation, what with the British Invasion led by The Beatles and Stones, Dave Clark Five, Herman’s Hermits, et al. And they all played the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Strangely enough, it wasn’t The Beatles that sparked my interest in the guitar. But that came from the Ed Sullivan Show as well. Elvis Presley was on touting his new movie, Blue Hawaii, and played a clip from his Pearl Harbor benefit concert that year, I believe. It really doesn’t matter what Elvis did on the show, because it served as the only excuse Mom needed to take me to the movie. (Mom was a bigger Elvis fan than I was so I got taken to all the early Elvis movies.) Still, it wasn’t necessarily Elvis that really got me into guitars. In 1961, my father still had this feeling that piano and violin were the only instruments worth learning (Pop played the radio by the way). So, the only music lessons I got up till then were piano and one illconceived attempt at harmonica

Gazette Column — I have a milestone birthday coming up this weekend. On Sunday, July 13, it will be 50 years to the day since I got my very first guitar. There have been many more since then but I’ll never forget that first one, a Stella my mother got at Loblaw’s for 2 ½ books of Lucky Green Stamps. My grandmother got me the case for it with ½ a book, which is quite noteworthy because Nannie was tighter with her Lucky Green Stamps than she was with a dollar, and that’s saying something. I don’t have the old Stella any more. Truth be told, it wasn’t much of a guitar and was an acoustic during a time when electric guitars were just coming into their own as the weapon of choice for the aspiring rock ’n’ roll star.

lessons from the town drunk. But, in 1962, the Twist was still big and Mom bought a Twist album so she and her girlfriends could dance to it in a retirement show she was in. The album was Twistin’ With Duane Eddy and I was hooked for sure. Unfortunately, Pop wasn’t and despite the fact I spent numerous hours bopping around the living room with a cutout piece of cardboard taped to a broom handle as my guitar while Eddy twanged away, there didn’t seem to be a real guitar in my future. But then, in February of 1964, The Beatles came on Ed Sullivan. Not that Pop was an immediate fan. “They’re no Duke Ellington, not even Count Basie,� I remember him saying. But, something in that Beatles’ performance (and the subsequent rock ’n’ roll acts on Sullivan, I suspect) caused him to acquiesce. And that summer, for my 10th birthday, I got my first guitar. I thought I’d be a helluva lot better at it by now.
Tenth Annual Event Achieves Outstanding Results Arnprior Chronicle-Guide Dear editor, On Saturday 28 June Buck Lakers gathered for the tenth time in as many years on the south branch of Buck Lake to realize the culmination of a 2 month fund raising program to send physically challenge kids and youth to Easter Seals Camp Merrywood on the Big Rideau. “It’s an annual event that has grown continually over the years and each year the community involvement and commitment has become broader and deeper� noted long time Buck Lake resident Saundra Rider. “Ten years ago we started off small with a desire to raise enough money to send one kid to Easter Seals camp-which we did. But
each year we seemed to get better at getting the community involved“ she noted. As of last year the Boatilla had raised over $108.000 and sent 54 kids to camp. About 150 residents and 26 boats were involved in the two hour event which started with a boat tour of the south branch of Buck Lake and ended with a community BBQ and celebration at Hidden Valley Camp Grounds. The check presentation was the highlight of the afternoon. As usual, the Treasurer of the Boatilla Liz Graham-Trudel kept everyone in suspense as to how much was raised to send physically Vice Presidentkids & Regional Publisher Mike Mount challenged and youth to Easer Seals mmount@perfprint.ca camp Merrywood. “It’s amazing how the

Remembering the First World War
Gazette Review - One hundred years ago, the sequence of events that brought about what modern commentators would dub ‘the war to end all wars’ began to lurch toward its bloody conclusion. Hindsight proves the commentators overly optimistic; however, it’s worth remembering this was the war that would see the introduction of chemical warfare to the battlefield, in addition to the bombing and shelling of civilian targets. The war would go on to claim the lives of approximately 17 million people, and wound almost twice as many. To the survivors of a broken Europe, it must have felt like Armageddon. The hundredth anniversary of the First World War provides governments around the world with the unique opportunity to remember the war and its fallen. But the question remains: How? The First World War began with the suicide-assassination of a member of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy at the hands of a Serbian terrorist organization. European heads of state then fell into a series of ill-advised treaties and alliances that assured each other’s mutual destruction. Why? In general, historians agree that the colonial powers, having stretched their tentacles all the way around the globe in their quest for power, riches and resources, simply ran out of room, and had to turn the battle on each other if further advantage was to be gained. None were immune from these expansionist ambitions. Trying to apportion blame to each individual actor is a fool’s errand when you realize that only naked colonialism and nationalism lay at the end of a tangled web of causality.           Therefore, we feel that there are two essential lessons to draw here. The first is that we should not be so fast in our calls to arms when provoked. This was AustriaHungary’s first reaction. An interconnected world, however, ensured that any military response would be met by force. As we have painfully learned over the years, military solutions generally only lead to more violence. The second lesson is that nationalism is a cancer that infects the minds or normally right thinking people with poisonous attitudes of hatred, narcissism and xenophobia. Both sides of the battle were equally guilty of trumpeting the worthiness of their respective empires to the detriment of their neighbours’. What we actually require is the reverse – a recognition that we are stronger when we are united in the cause of mutual peace and prosperity. Remembering our countrymen and women’s sacrifices in this way doesn’t do them any disservice. In fact, it does the opposite. It humanizes them; it makes them more relatable; it turns them into ordinary people who got caught up in history’s grand forces and played an important part of an epic story. Almost a century ago, a weary and frustrated war surgeon by the name of John McCrae, recently bereaved by the death of a close friend on the battlefield, bade us to “take up our quarrel with the foe.� But maybe, just maybe, the time has finally come to look inward for real answers. Road Store. They decided they wanted to send one kid to camp by themselves and raised over $2,500 to do just that�. At the end of the BBQ and with much anticipation the mystery check was unveiled to the waiting crowd. “As this was our tenth year for the Boatilla we decided for the first time to set a goal of $25,000 which would permit us to sponsor 10 kids at Camp Merrywood. ‘10 in10’ was our motto for this year and we did it by the skin of our pants raising $25,014� noted Duncan Sinclair Buck Lake resident and organizer.

North Frontenac Food Bank finds a new home “Sookie and Jass at Home Hardware here in Sharbot Lake donated the paint, Trousdale’s Home Hardware gave us a great price on the appliances and shelving, Mike Dean’s sell us case lots at good prices and donate where they can, Peggy Hurley from
Granite Ridge School printed up our signs and Bill Bowick mounted them,” she said. The food bank served almost 100 families last year and Cucoch expects that number to rise with the cost of heat and hydro rising. “We are always looking for volunteers,” she said. “It’s a small commitment, two mornings
Tuesday and Friday in the same week, once a month for about an hour.” She said they have a new phone line, 613-279-8855, where people can leave messages whether to volunteer or schedule an appointment. Clients can place orders once a month.

One special hay bale remained in field all season long Mary Cook
Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca
R0012789506
Lifestyle - The sun was just starting to come up. Father had roused the brothers, and with great effort they dressed, ate their breakfast in silence, and followed him to the barns. They would head to the back fields, Father walking behind the team, King and Queen.
They would have to cross the creek and then the Bonnechere, at the lowest ebb, sloshing across in their work boots to get to the farthest reaches of the farm. There was no bridge to go from the front section of the farm to what Father called “the back 40,” although the acreage across the river was much more than 40. The hay had been mowed into windrows, and now sat in little stacks which the brothers and Father had worked at for several days, getting it ready to load onto the wagon and brought over to the hayloft in the barn. They would be there for at least a whole day, working quickly just in case it
rained, soaking the mounds of hay, which would have to be dried out before being put into the hay loft. The flat topped wagon would already be in the field with board sides put on to hold the hay, and pitch-forks leaning against it ready for the job at hand. It would be a long hot day ahead for Father and my three brothers. Mother would have packed sandwiches and pieces of slab cake in an eleven quart basket, and jars of water with shards of ice. By the time the sun was high in the sky and my own chores done in the house, Mother would say, “alright, Mary, you can head out now if you want.” I would carry another basket of sandwiches, and more water to tide Father and the brothers over.

Running like the wind, I would cross the water where an old tree had fallen across at a narrow point, using it as a bridge, saving me from walking in the water. I would tear up the west hill like someone possessed, ever aware that I was alone, cut off from Mother at home, and
the men working in the fields far away. The field was the biggest on the farm, even bigger than what we called the ’20acre field’ that separated our farm from the Thoms. A rail fence, put up by Father’s great grandfather, circled the field, and a log gate was at one end where Father could take the team in an out when necessary. That day, when I got to the field, the work was still all at the farthest end, and the mounds of hay still to be loaded onto the wagon reminded me of the gumdrops in a big glass jar sitting on the counter at Briscoe’s General Store. I was barely through the gate when I saw the bird. I stopped dead so as not to frighten it. It was on one of the hay stacks, its head deep in the hay, and its tail fluttering. I put the basket down and walked slowly towards the hay, and the bird showed its displeasure by swooping in and out of the hay declaring ownership. I knew it was nesting, and knew too, there were either eggs or baby birds deep inside. Before the day was out, that mound of hay would be on the wagon, and the birds nest and whatever was in it, gone. I dropped the basket and ran through the field to where Father and the boys were forking the hay onto the wagon, and cried to Father that there was one haystack that he couldn’t touch, and told him why. Emerson said he was heading right over to the place with the fork, and that would be the end of the bird’s nest. Father told him to stay where he was ... there was plenty of
work to do at that end of the field. And then Father followed me over to the gate and the haystack where the little bird had nested. He put his finger to his lips, signalling me to be quiet. The bird was frantic, making a lot of noise and going in and out of the hay, hovering, and proclaiming ownership again. Father took my hand and led me towards the opening in the field before he spoke. He said one haystack left in the field would neither make nor break us, and he saw no reason why the bird couldn’t be left alone. I was so overjoyed, I hugged his overall covered leg, and thanked him over and over again. I gave Father the basket, and he headed back to where the boys were working, and I headed over towards the west hill and home to tell Mother about the little bird frantically trying to protect its nest. I told her how Father said it would be left alone to hatch its eggs, or feed its babies, whatever the case may be. Mother smiled and said, “that’s just like something your father would do.” And so for the rest of the season, standing alone in that big hay field, was one small mound. It would shrink in size. It would turn brown from the sun, but it would have served as a safe haven to a little bird who called it home. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

R0012777510-0710
Meet your market vendor: Sauces N’ Stuff Gazette News – The warm weather is finally here, and for Robin Celeste that means it’s time to break out all of her yummy barbecue sauces. Celeste has been making her own sauces for years, but it wasn’t until she moved that she realized how popular they really are. “We moved to Verona from Barrie about 10 years ago and I kept having to send jars of the barbecue sauce home, cases of it at a time,” explained Celeste. “A friend of mine suggested that I try selling the sauces and I thought I would give it a shot.” Celeste didn’t have a job at the time so she took her hobby to the next level and has now been selling her sauces at the Frontenac Farmers’ Market for the past five years. She started out with a few classic barbecue sauces but she has now expanded into more experimental sauces with flavours like maple and cola. Celeste has also expanded into rubs and different spice blends over the years, too, but the sauces are her passion. So what makes a good barbecue sauce? “Love is the most important ingredient,” explained Celeste. “Flavors make a big difference, too. I make sure that I use as many local ingredients as I can, which is hard because it is a ketchup and tomato-based product. But when it comes to the honey and the maple syrup it is all local and I make all of my own spice blends that go into the sauces and rubs.” Celeste encourages her customers to try the rubs and the sauces together for ultimate
flavor. She tries to sell the rib rub and the maple sauce as a pair for ribs and also adds that the beef rub and the sweet sauce make a great brisket. “The rub is really used at the beginning and it starts the flavouring and then you would use the sauce to finish,” added Celeste. “The maple sauce is our most popular but a lot of people just love a classic barbecue sauce too.” Celeste is constantly experimenting with new recipes and always has family members that are eager to sample her new creations. “I love testing them out too,” she adds. “I try to make sure that the flavours have melded together properly and in most cases they work out really well.” Celeste also sells spice mixes for salad dressings and different panko mixes for breading. This year she also added handmade birdhouses to her booth that she has made from local wood found around her property. “I could have so much stuff. I really find that I have to limit myself now because there is so much more that I love to do, but I need to keep up with demand.” Celeste hopes to sell her sauces n’ stuff for many years to come and really encourages people to come out to the market and see what she has to offer, especially with the new locations this year. The Frontenac Farmers’ Market operates on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m in Harrowsmith Robin Celeste sells her famous barbecue sauces and rubs at the Frontenac Farmers Market on just off of Hwy 38 and Saturdays from 9 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

Re/call tackles Canada’s “colonial amnesia” By Aric McBay Reporter
Gazette News — Imagine you are walking downtown on July 1, surrounded by Canadian flags and celebrating people. A woman walks up to you, decked out in full Canada Day gear, with Canadian flags, maple leaf glasses, and a cape. “Would you like a special Canada Day flag?” she asks. Sure, you answer. She shows you a small flag, on which is stamped a beaver with a piece of string tied to its finger. The flag has a piece of yarn on it; the woman asks if she can tie the flag to your hand. Go ahead, you reply. As she ties the string to your index finger, she says: “This is to remember Canada’s colonial history. That Canada is built on stolen indigenous land.”
How do you respond? The scenario played out many times during recent Canada Day celebrations in Kingston as part of a project by artists Leah Decter and Erin Sutherland. The artists wanted to challenge “colonial amnesia” about Canada’s relationship with indigenous people. Decter explains: “We were prepared for a lot of hostility, which we surprisingly did not get.” While a couple of people responded negatively, most people the artists engaged were positive, or at least receptive. Decter explained: “Many people said ‘this is something I’ve been thinking about today.’” No surprise. Indigenous issues have been prominent in the news in the last year with the actions of Idle No More, growing attention toward missing and murdered indigenous women, and the recent and historic Supreme Court ruling
RV & MARINE
in favour of aboriginal land title. An old piece of advice says if you want to keep from forgetting something, you should tie a piece of string to your finger. Sutherland and Decter use this in the piece, dubbed “re/call,” aiming to remind Canadians of a fact people find uncomfortable: that we mostly live on land which was not ceded or which is occupied under treaties that have not been properly honoured by Canada. “And that affects us all in the present,” as Decter and Sutherland pointed out to the people they met. It takes guts to go up to strangers—on a day when many people are talking about how proud they are to be Canadian— and remind them of the parts of Canadian history that are a source of collective shame rather than pride. But Decter and Sutherland view the positive response they received
as a sign that more and more people are willing to confront the parts of Canada’s legacy—from land theft to residential schools— that continue to create unequal relationships between settlers and indigenous people. Even more promising are the reactions they received from children. “The kids were great,” recounted Sutherland. “I asked them if they’d learned about aboriginal peoples in their classes.” One boy proudly told her all about the Mi’kmaq nation and their continuing culture and traditions. On Thursday, a follow-up performance and discussion took place. The performance happened at City Park (which was part of a Haudenosaunee village even after Fort Frontenac was constructed), and pulled in the audience as participants. Audience members stood in a circle, index fingers raised, as Decter and Sutherland tied a web of string between them, from
which they hung inverted Canadian flags. A discussion followed at the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre on Queen’s campus; both Sutherland and Decter are PhD students at Queen’s, in the field of Cultural Studies. But they seek to move beyond the boundaries of academia.“We didn’t want to give a lecture,” Sutherland said of Thursday’s piece, which was performed in silence. “The performance was our lecture.” Both see this week’s work as an extension of their other art and studies. Erin Sutherland, based in Edmonton, is a Métis curator with a focus on indigenous art. Leah Decter is a Winnipeg based artist whose work “interferes with dominant nationalist mythologies and entrenched colonial beliefs.” The events were part of Corridor Culture’s Seminar of Free Ideas series, with support from the City of Kingston and the Kingston Arts Council.

Enchanté
Jazzing it up Reporter
Enchanté - As America became the melting pot of cultures, jazz became a melting pot of music. Jazz and blues are different but related genres. Both grew out the American South and were largely created by African-Americans but became distinct musical art forms. The blues arose in the delta region of the South, especially Mississippi. Early blues recordings featured a solo singer and guitar. There were no large
ensembles. Jazz developed in New Orleans. The music is heavily brass and piano-based. African American music mixed with European influences. Scott Joplin was one of the first to combine the two forms into ragtime, recognized as early jazz. Ragtime is best described as having an emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAble. That syncopation is typical of early jazz. Jazz also has deep roots in the brass band culture of New Orleans of the late 19th century. While blues remained a largely black genre for many years; jazz became a blend of black and white from its early days.

Orleans was simply using an Irish word of the streets, jass, to describe their music: passionate, hot, exciting. Little did they know that they could be labeling a new genre of music. Jazz bands became popular in New York City and Chicago. Radio stations picked up jazz and helped its spread. Blues had more of a word-of-mouth growth on the streets as it spread town by town to places in Tennessee, Texas and California, before moving north to Chicago. Musicians like Robert Johnson, Son House and Howlin’ Wolf wailed as their guitars carried the rhythm. Blues relies heavily on vocals, a guitar and the 12-bar form. In jazz, you’ll hear lots of keyboard and horns and a more instrumental style. As jazz grew, new styles like Dixieland developed, with musicians like trumpeter Louis Armstrong and pianist Jelly Roll Morton leading the way. Big Band music rose to prominence in the 1920s–1940s with artists like Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. Dizzy Gillespie gave us Bebop, with its smaller ensembles and complex melodies and chord progressions. Wynton Marsalis describes Louis Armstrong as one of the greats who transcends every era. “Through his clear, warm sound, unbelievable sense of swing, perfect grasp of harmony, and supremely intelligent and melodic improvisations, he taught us all to play jazz.”

bends in both the vocal and instrumental performance; and, in the secular music, poly-rhythms.” These characteristics describe what we now know as jazz. “New Orleans had a great tradition of celebration,” wrote Marsalia. “Opera, military marching bands, folk music, the blues, different types of church music, ragtime, echoes of traditional African drumming, and all of the dance styles that went with this music could be heard and seen throughout the city. When all of these kinds of music blended into one, jazz was born.” The etymology of the word jazz is often debated. Typically listed as “source unknown,” the word can be traced to New Orleans. The early spelling of jazz was jass. In its early usage, it meant passion, heat, or something hot or exciting. The first band known to use the word was the Original Dixieland Jass Band, which comprised Irish and other workingclass lads from New Orleans. The word “jass,” to describe a certain style of music, traveled from New Orleans to the red-light districts of San Francisco, Chicago and New York. This hot, passionate new music took on the label of jass music, and it wasn’t long before it was relabeled as jazz (“z” seeming more exotic). But its first use was back in New Orleans by the Jass Band with the Irish musicians saying the Irish word teas, which is pronounced “jass/jazz”. This early band in New

Writing for the Ken Burns PBS documentary, Jazz, famed jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, said: “Whites found black musical performances on the plantation fascinating and often went to the slave quarters to watch slaves sing and dance. There are many such accounts in books by whites who visited or lived on plantations, from Fanny Kemble to Frederick Law Olmsted, architect of New York City’s Central Park....These forms of music had similar features, although they did not appear in every single instance: use of call and response; improvisation as an essential part of the creative process; extensive use of slurs, moans, cries, and

Wolfe Island’s Big Sandy Bay- a conservationist’s delight… By M. Knott Reporter
Gazette News — Wolfe Island has a lot of things going for it. One of them is Big Sandy Bay, a 404 –hectare day-use Management Area with its environmentally sensitive, rare coastal ecology identified as an area of Natural and Scientific Interest. Many people know it only as having a beautiful and secluded sand beach. However BSB is also all about conservation, a place where provincial and regionally significant birds, rare trees and rare plant species flourish at the beach/dune complex reached by way of 1.3 km walking trail through wetlands and woodlands.. This year the Kingston Field Naturalists held their 16th annual BioBlitz at (BSB) Big Sandy Bay where with its variety of habitats, provides living space for a diversity of plants and animals. And sixty-six field observers including 6 children spread over the BSB property from 2:00 pm Friday, June 13 to 2:00 pm Saturday, June 14 collecting information and identifying plants, butterflies, frogs, birds, moths, dragon flies, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The idea for the BioBlitz, (described as an biodiversity inventory of as many living things as can be identified within a 24 hour period) came originally from the Canadian Biodiversity Institute. This BSB event was open to the general
public. Among the participants was Wolfe Island’s own Wildlife Ecologist Dr. Barrie Gilbert a member of the BSB Stewardship Committee. Dr.Gilbert lobbied with the Kingston Field Naturalists to hold their 16th BioBlitz on the island at Big Sandy Bay having received permission from the Township of Frontenac Islands. “ On the day of the BioBlitz at Big Sandy Bay I was also allowed use of the BSB Kawasaki “Mule” to ferry people out to Bear Point and to carry my canoe and launch it for folks going around Black Lake.” he said. Barrie also noted that a fish biologist attending the event said she had seined and released 5 species of fish: sticklebacks, yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, killifish and Northern pike. “A few people saw and photographed a Least Bittern in the cattails, a species listed by MNR as ‘Threatened’. There were bank swallow nests and birds; a Blanding’s Turtle on road, travelling to a nest site perhaps (this turtle takes 25years to mature and may live to 75 years in the wild); and a rare Upland Sandpiper, all recorded,” he concluded. Interesting to note that BSB habitats include wetlands (including the bog on Black Lake), woodlands and open areas (including the dunes, beach and grasslands on Bear Point). The BSB event included marsh monitoring, moth baiting, bat observations, owl calling along with some sky gazing as well as fishing
were part of the BSB event. Night time activities allowed the addition of those species more active after dark. Special permission was granted for overnight camping at the Base area. Guided walks were available to the participants on a variety of natural history themes throughout the event for those wishing to participate and learn about the ecology of the area, according to Anne Robertson, coordinator of this year’s BioBlitz. Topics included bird identification and snake hunting as well as moth, butterfly and dragonfly listing. Specially adapted beach plants were also discussed. Anne noted several other special sightings of species including the Least Bittern Bobolink and the Southern Arrow-wood and High-bush Blueberry , found growing. “The best dragonfly was judged to be the Painted Skimmer and the best butterfly the Arctic Skipper. The masses of Ground beetles found in the pitfall traps were astounding. Tree frogs were the dominant sounding frog in the evening together with the Willow Flycatcher and Swamp sparrow in the wet areas,” she said. “We had very good attendance, good weather, an interesting location and lots of fun while collecting information for this twenty four hour record of the biodiversity of the area.” A BBQ was held at noon on Saturday and prizes were presented for answering quiz questions. All observed species were noted from

Jazzing it up Continued from page 14
at a jazz festival the next week. Jazz is a genre based on skill and dedication, not marketing and facades. Although I like jazz in most settings, nothing matches sitting in a small club, close to the stage, nursing a Manhattan and rubbing shoulders with Grammywinning musicians after their set. You’ll be able to hear some fine jazz locally at the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, which runs from August 12–17. Musical events will be held at the Regent Theatre in Picton and other locations around the county. If you want to hear some of the finest music in a small, informal setting, and you’re willing to travel a bit, head for The Garage Restaurant and Cafe in New York. And if you want to travel farther afield, The Jim Cullum Jazz Band (Jim Sr. passed the torch R0012791314
The Swing Era of the mid-1930s to mid-1940s brought an optimistic sound. From a sociological perspective, the Swing Era countered the negative mood of The Great Depression. Benny Goodman, Duke Ellingston and Count Basie are good examples. Although I’ve never heard of a genre called sexy/sensual jazz, Stan Getz and
John Coltrane could certainly fit there. The sub-genre is typically referred to as cool jazz and had a lot of its mellow influence from California. Coltrane also gained fame for bebop and the lesslistener friendly avant-garde jazz. Jazz is really still a music of the clubs, of the night. The same person, like famed bassist Ron Carter, may play a small New York club like The Blue Note, which only holds about 200 people, one night and be on stage in front of ten thousand
Wednesday & Saturday Nights July and August
to his son, also Jim, along the way) has performed on Tuesday through Saturday since 1963 at the Landing Jazz Club, now located in the Hyatt Regency on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. That might sound like a long way to travel to hear music, but you won’t be disappointed. The music there is teas, jass in its original meaning: hot, passionate and exciting. If you can’t get to Texas, you can hear the Jim Cullum Jazz Band on the weekly NPR show called Riverwalk Jazz. They’ve been featured weekly since the 1980s. But it’s so much more exciting in person at the small San Antonio jazz club. Women have had a huge influence on jazz, and are often glossed over by historians of the genre. Women have held their own since the birth of the sound. Billie Holiday, despite the movie called The Lady Sings the Blues, was a great jazz musician. Modern jazz artists include saxophonist Ada Ravotti, pianist Champian Fulton, and singers like Madeleine Peyroux, Simona de Rosa (keep your ears open for this newcomer) and Diana Krall. Peyroux will perform at Kingston’s Grand Theatre on December 11.
Listen to Madeleine Peyroux and you’ll think this white American, who used to busk on the streets of Paris, is Billie Holiday. Her sultry, edgy and powerful, yet soothing vocals will take you back to the early roots of jazz and the likes of Lady Day (Billie Holiday) and at the same time show you how far jazz has advanced. The simple sounds of her music mask the complex chord structures and subtle vocal inflections. I first heard her in The Blue Note in New York’s Greenwich Village. I came out of the performance shocked at just how talented she is. Who else could play La Vie en Rose followed by Leonard Cohen’s Dance Me to the End of Love, which Peyroux turned into a jazz classic? Next week: women of the jazz scene, past and present. For more information on jazz in Canada, visit www.thecanadianencyclopedia. ca/en/article/jazz/. Check out the Jim Cullum Jazz band at www.riverwalkjazz. org.

Thousands Islands Playhouse goes Wilde By Mark Bergin Reporter
“I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.” —Oscar Wilde. While The Importance of Being Earnest enjoyed a successful run on stage in London, Irish playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) wasted away in prison, punished with hard labor, convicted for gross indecency with men.
There’s nothing witty about suffering in prison. After prison, the literary genius’ writing took a drastic turn away from his pleasure principle philosophy. Jail will do that to a person. Wilde never recovered from his penal experience. After serving his time, Wilde moved to Paris, never to return to Ireland or England. Sadly, he died destitute at the age of 46. Having begun this column with a Wilde quote, I think

it fitting to mention the writer’s own opinion of spewing the words of others: “Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.” I refrain from calling Wilde a playwright, although his theatrical works are brilliant. According to British essayist and playwright St. John Hankin (1869 - 1909) writing in his The Collected Works of Oscar Wilde essay: “The fact is, Wilde despised the theatre. He was a born dramatist in the sense that he was naturally equipped with certain very valuable gifts for writing for the stage. But he was not a dramatist from conviction in the sense that Ibsen was or that Mr. Shaw is....He wrote plays frankly for the market and because playwrighting was lucrative.” Wilde would have preferred to indulge himself in poetry and witty banter, while living a life of luxury. One of Wilde’s most remembered works, The Importance of being Earnest, is his most brilliant. In typical literary voice, Wilde called the play “a trivial comedy for serious people.” “The Importance of Being Earnest is written with conviction, in a sense,” wrote Hankin. “That is to say, it is the expression of the author’s own temperament and his attitude towards life, not an insincere re-statement of conventional theatrical ideas. But the Importance of Being Earnest is only a joke, though an amazingly brilliant one, and Wilde seems to have looked upon it with the same amused contempt with which he looked on its predecessors. Perhaps he did not realise [sic] how good it was.” Or, perhaps, in a Groucho Marx-style self mockery, Wilde simply held the view: “I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept people like me as a member.” Wilde and Marx held remarkably similar world views. Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest opened at the St. James Theatre in London, England on
Valentine’s Day, 1895, a significant choice of opening day, considering the subject matter. The hit production satires such institutions as marriage, and just about every other Victorian Era convention. It kicks Victorian social customs in the shins. One of the heavier criticisms of the play was that it did not deal with deep social issues. Critics must have worn blinders to fact that the play itself mocked the triviality of social customs. 649 Justus Dr Sadly, following Wilde’s being outed, he was considered a person of disgrace.

Thousands Islands Playhouse goes Wilde Continued from page 24
You can enjoy a production of The Importance of Being Earnest at the Thousand Islands Playhouse from July 25 to August 23. On the surface, the play looks like a bunch of fluff, but only in the way that Christopher Durang’s works look fluffy. Underlying the superficial humdrum of polite society that forms the backdrop of The Importance of Being Earnest lies a wit unequalled in theatre. In an era that produced such greatness as Henrik Ibsen, along came Wilde, placing importance in nothing that his society considered sacred, except perhaps the use of words in sportlike verbal jousting. While literary elite held court, Wilde held his nose. He poked fun at everyone and everything. In The Importance of Being Earnest, wealthy playboys Jack and Algernon (Algy) grow fatigued by the boredom and mediocrity of civil society, which is all too often hypocritical and delirium inducing. “They lead double lives in order to escape the humdrum of polite society,” said Ashlie Corcoran, Artistic Director of The Thousand Islands Playhouse. “But when they both start using the same alias to woo two different women, hilarious chaos ensues.” Needless to say, we witness a breeding ground for chaos. Between mistaken
identities, the finest of witty banter, along with a great deal of Wilde-like charm, the play fills a theatre with laughter. “This play is often termed the wittiest in the English language,” said Corcoran. “Every time I read the play, I fall in love with the satirical and silly characters, the delicious word play and the exquisitely enjoyable plot.” The Playhouse production features what must be a director’s dream cast. “We’re having a reunion of sorts,” said Corcoran. “For those who saw Boeing Boeing last year, the same director, Daryl Cloran, and four of the same actors, Tess Degenstein, Alison Deon, Brett Christopher and Kirk Smith, are returning to help us create The Importance of Being Earnest.” The cast of Boeing Boeing was one of the funniest I’ve seen. Anywhere. To put that collection of actors together in The Importance of Being Earnest is, well, wild. Tess Degenstein (who played Gretchen, the German flight attendant, in Boeing Boeing) is superb at subtlety as well as outrageous physical humour. She’ll play Cecily in this production. I can’t wait to witness her deliver lines like, “But I don’t like German. It isn’t at all a becoming language. I know perfectly well that I look quite plain after my German lesson,” or “Oh, yes, Dr. Chasuble. is a most learned man. He has never written a single book, so you can imagine how much he knows.”
Brett Christopher, who plays Algernon, is well known on the professional theatre scene. He is the Artistic Producer of Theatre Kingston and has recently returned from the Stratford Festival, where he served as assistant director for A Midsummer Knight’s Dream. Over the past year, in addition to his role in Boeing Boeing, he appeared in Theatre Kingston’s Vigil and the Thousand Islands Playhouse production of The Clockmaker. Director Daryl Cloran is considered one of Canada’s hottest young directors. He has received the Canada Council’s John Hirsch Prize for Outstanding Emerging Theatre Director and the Toronto Theatre Emerging Artist Award. He is a past Artistic Director and one of the founders of the Torontobased independent theatre company, Theatrefront. Cloran graduated from and taught at the Drama Department at Queen’s University. He studied new media and film directing at the

Fans of Four Seasons will love Eastwood’s Jersey Boys By Mark Haskins Columnist
MOVIE: Jersey Boys STARRING: John Lloyd Young, Vincent Piazza, Erich Bergen, Michael Lomenda and Christopher Walken DIRECTOR: Clint Eastwood RATING: 14A Lifestyle – All I ever knew of the Four Seasons were their songs. I haven’t read the book, and I haven’t seen the musical so I was coming into the movie Jersey Boys pretty much blind. I wouldn’t even say I was that much of a fan of the music, but I liked this movie.
Jersey Boys tells the story of how Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young), Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza), Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda) and Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen) met, became a band, and then became famous. It’s not a story I am familiar with, but it is one in which I quickly became engrossed. Tommy is the one who started it all. He’s the one who discovers Frankie, and watches out for him. He’s the one who introduces Frankie to Gyp DeCarlo (Christopher Walken) the mobster who would be their mentor and patron. He’s the one who forms the band, and gets them all their gigs.
But things don’t really take off until Bob joins the group. He’s the songwriter and the hit maker. He’s the one who convinces Frankie to push for a record deal, and together they make it happen. Of course there’s so much more to it than just four boys from Jersey making it big. There’s all the success, the fame and the fortune. There’s also the betrayals, the fights, and the eventual split. All the good and all the bad plays out across the screen. Though in the end it comes down to Frankie himself, and that one-of-a-kind voice that takes America by storm. Say what you will about Clint Eastwood, but the man knows how to
tell a story. He just allows Jersey Boys to unfold before us. Eastwood doesn’t try to force it, he just lets it happen naturally, and creates a very intimate connection with the audience. It’s all in the details. Like having the characters turn to the camera and speak directly to the audience. They tell the story from their perspective, and draw you deep into their story. It is a little thing but it makes all the difference. With a film like this you have to have the right cast. Of course having a legend like Christopher Walken is a step in the right direction. Who better to play mob boss Gyp DeCarlo? Still it’s casting the four main characters you really have to
think about. They can’t just look like The Four Seasons, they have to sound like The Four Seasons. And John Lloyd Young, Vincent Piazza, Michael Lomenda and Erich Bergen sound like the Four Seasons. These individuals for all their musical talent had their flaws, and made their mistakes. They weren’t heroes or villains, they were just four guys from Jersey and these actors nail it note for note. The music is incredible, the characters are compelling, and the story is fascinating. Jersey Boys is a must see. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
