Wild parsnip becoming a problem for road crews all over the County By Craig Bakay
News — Wild parsnip, giant hogweed and other noxious plants are becoming a problem not only in Central Frontenac but in the entire area, Interim Public Works Manager Mike Richardson told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Richardson suggested it needs to be dealt with on a County level. “I’ve had workers refuse to work around wild parsnip and I don’t blame them because I’m one of them,” Richardson said. “We know we have a problem but we need to address how we address this problem rather than just knocking down individual plants.” Richardson suggested the County could bring in a Gord Small of Cornwall shows off his ’55 Ford Thunderbird at the annual Verona Car Show last weekend. This was the biggest weed expert to not only recshow to date with 264 entrants in 17 trophy classes. The day also featured a magician, an Elvis impersonator and a kids park. ommend what to do about it but also advise on the ramiPhoto/Craig Bakay

fications of not dealing with it. “We could support that person with equipment and manpower,” he said. “Of course whatever plan we come up with would also have to be supported by neighbouring counties because it does no good to take out a patch in the middle of a field. “It will be right back in a few days.” He said merely cutting down the plants just spreads the seeds around. “If you cut it down, it takes two years to get rid of the seeds,” he said. “But if you don’t cut, you risk somebody being exposed to it. “So you don’t have much of an option not to cut.” CAO/Clerk Cathy MacMunn said she’d be happy to raise the question at the upcoming CAO’s conference call but Richardson suggested a political approach.

“A mad mayor is much more effective than staff,” he said. “It needs to move ahead, it really does.” “It’s not really like that any more (at County Council), but I will bring it up,” said Mayor Frances Smith. ••• At the urging of Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald, Council voted to correct an oversight when the overpass
of Road 38 in Sharbot Lake was levelled last year. “There used to be a wheelchair ramp on the east side that wasn’t replaced,” MacDonald said. “It makes it difficult for some of our residents to get across the road.” MacDonald estimated the cost to be about $2,850 and asked if something could be put into next year’s budget. However, Coun. Tom Dewey took up the cause as well, asking
treasurer Michael McGovern if funds could be found this year. “I’m definitely surprised we missed that,” Dewey said. “I wonder if we could come up with $2,850 somewhere. “We can,” replied McGovern. ••• While Council acknowledged a problem at the boat launch in Crow Lake, there’s not much a municipality can do in such situations.

Arden Road rehabilitation expanded to lower hill and straighten road By Craig Bakay
News — This year’s rehabilitation of the Arden Road project has been expanded to include straightening and lowering of a hill, Central Frontenac Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Interim Public Works Manager Mike Richardson told Council that although $260,000 had been budgeted to rehabilitate 2.4 kilometres of Arden Road this year, by increasing the budgeted amount to $313,247, significant additional work can be done and paid for by adjusting the roads budget. “Over the past seven years, Arden Road has been in the process of being rebuilt,” Richardson said. “The 2.4 kilometres of road chosen for this year starts at the border with Stone Mills Township and includes the lowering of a hill that is steep and restricts sightlines, and has been the source of complaints for many years. “The surface treatment on this section of road is poor for about 5 kilometres but only one-half of it will be done in order to stay close to the budgeted amount.” Richardson said the hill will be
lowered by 2 metres and the horizontal alignment will be straightened by “at least 1 ½ metres” by moving the centre line at the top and bottom of the hill in opposing directions. “The rock will be removed a total of 12 metres wide (as opposed to the originally specified 9 metres), on the hill,” he said. “This will provide an increased level of comfort for the drivers and more than adequate room for the snow banks to be kept well back from the running surface during the winter.” He said he’s also extended the granular depth. He said budgetary items to be adjusted in order to pay for the increased work include $47,000 under spent on the Henderson Road contract, and reducing the maintenance gravel budget by $28,247. (The $22,000 in overspending at the Eagle Lake CP Crossing was also factored into the roads budget.) ••• Still with roads, Richardson said they are trying to keep up with grading and potholes but the drought conditions are a factor, especially with grading. “We need a water truck,” he said. “Generally, we resist trying to grade in August because of the dust.
“We have to have water to bring the calcium (dust suppressant) back to the surface after grading.”
• • • Richardson also said the brush pile at the Hinchinbrooke waste transfer site

New plaque commemorates historical significance of Cataraqui Cemetery News - A small group of dignitaries and members of the Historical Costume Club of Kingston, wearing Victorian clothing, gathered to celebrate the unveiling of a new plaque commemorating the national historic significance of Cataraqui Cemetery by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada on Aug. 10. The commemoration of Cataraqui Cemetery reflects its position as one of the best examples of a medium-sized rural or garden cemetery in Canada. Designed by Frederick Cornell and established as a non-denominational cemetery in 1850, the park-like Cataraqui Cemetery now covers approximately 40 hectares and is laid out according to picturesque design principles. “I am extremely proud to commemorate the national historic significance of Cataraqui Cemetery,” said Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands Mark Gerretsen, on behalf of Minister of the Environment and Climate
Change Catherine McKenna. “Celebrating significant places such as this allows Canadians to appreciate our varied history and feel pride in the developments that have shaped our nation. From the range of monuments to the long list of great Canadians that rest here, Cataraqui Cemetery connects us with those who have contributed immensely to Canadian society. This is an important site not just for Kingston, but for Canada.” Gerretsen highlighted that walking through Cataraqui Cemetery is like talking a walk through the historic cultural heritage of Canada. He called it a place full of connections to our ancestors who they were and how they chose to be remembered. “Looking at some of the tombstones, the individual dates of births and deaths, thoughts of struggle and hardship come to mind, while other monuments are a testament to the success of individuals, financially or as great contributors to Kingston and our nation of Canada.” Gerretsen added that for the relatives of all those buried at the cemetray,
this national historic site also provides a direct connection to personal family heritage. “Cataraqui Cemetery is definitely a place of national historic significance and most definitely holds a special place in the hearts of all Kingstonians.” Cataraqui Cemetery is the only cemetery in Ontario to have the distinction of being the final resting place of two Fathers of Confederation: Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Alexander Campbell. It is also the final resting place of many great humanitarians, entrepreneurs, giants of industry, authors, celebrities and history makers.

Speed bump for Crow Lake Road put on hold until budget time By Craig Bakay
News — Plans for a speed bump in the hamlet of Crow Lake Village are back on hold following last week’s regular Central Frontenac Council meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Interim Public Works Manager Mike Richardson, pressed out of retirement following the departure of former public works manager John Badgley, told Council he disagreed with the concept of putting a speed bump on Crow Lake Road within the hamlet, essentially arguing that it had the potential to create as many problems as it would solve.
“I spoke with the traffic engineer for Kingston (Deanna Green) and she recommended a four-metre wide speed ‘hump’ as opposed to a speed ‘bump’ which can take the suspension out of a car,” Richardson said. “You can buy a portable speed hump (that can be moved and removed for winter) but the price is about $5,000 but that seems a steep expense for what would be a test.” Richardson said that he “would prefer not to see anything there, especially during winter.” The concern during winter is interference with snow plowing
operations. Richardson said that such humps or bumps can be accommodated in cities but rural municipalities don’t typically have the equipment necessary. “Cities tend to use variable plows which can approach the hump straight on,” he said. “We don’t have one but it would be nice to have one in our fleet.” Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald wondered if they could possibly borrow a portable hump from Kingston to see how it worked. “That wasn’t volunteered,” said Richardson. “They tend to get damaged.”
TH
D R WO
for reconstruction (which could be next year) and install a wide, permanent hump at that time. “I suggest we defer the discussion until budget time,” said Coun. Tom Dewey. “Perhaps we can leave the (electronic) speed sign there until then. “Maybe we haven’t picked the right solution here.” “I would hate to see us put something in there that would put a car on the roof of a cabin,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “We’ll call the lady (that requested the speed bump) and tell her what we discussed at this meeting.”

Richardson said he has another concern, especially if a speed bump were to be placed there. “I drive through there daily,” he said. “It was designed as a road, not a business parking lot. “I’m concerned with something that could throw somebody off to the right because on Crow Lake Road, there is no right. “I don’t want to put a car on the roof of a cottage.” Richardson suggested that if Council truly wants to put some sort of a speed dampener in there, his recommendation would be to wait until the road is slated

Editorial
In Our Opinion
Get ready for the onslaught of trimmings, trappings and trinkets as Canada 150 draws nigh Column — Well, it won’t be long until all the Canada 150 trinkets, gear and paraphernalia starts showing up all over the place. Yes friends, prepare to be bombarded with all manner of tea cups and tuques, buttons and badges . . . all adorned with beavers, mooses, and maple leafs. Speaking of maple leafs, there seem to be several stylized varieties available at the moment, most of which look suspiciously like the NBC Peacock. But none of that will matter as we all grab up the goodies, parading around in them like the centre splash in a Dr. Seuss book. And this is good for the economy - well that part of the economy that makes trinkets and stickers and face paint and stuff. And in due course, it will serve to stimulate the secondary market as years down the road, all this stuff starts showing up on tables outside the
local churches and massive garage sales everywhere. Of course the Mint and the Post Office are sure to get into the act. Actually, some people do collect this stuff so it’s likely to hold some value. But most of the stuff with Canada 150 on it is has more in common with the paper hats that come out of Christmas crackers than it does with keepsakes or collectables. But that’s okay too. There’ll be parties and dos going on all year (July 1 should be quite the whoop-de-doo) and there will be people who will want to wear something silly commemorating the occasion. Want to bet there’ll be a brooch or tie tack option that lights up the moose’s nose when you pull a string? On the downside, hard-core environmentalists can’t be happy, knowing that the vast majority of stuff produced for the party will end up in our landfills. They’re right of course, it will. But it’s not going to stop the party people bureaucrats from making it easily available just the same. And besides, a lot of it will end up in some drawer (probably the
Kanata Kourier-Standard
Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide
top one) or a banker’s box in the barn … and then in a yard sale . . . or the landfill. Thankfully, this stuff doesn’t cost much to make because one way or another, the cost comes out of taxpayers’ pockets. But, we, as human beings, have perfected the art of making crap cheaply, especially if there’s a party involved. Oh, we forgot to mention the brochures. There’ll be brochures (see also leaflets and pamphlets) about everything, each with its own little “Did you know?” section of questionable factoids. Anybody remember their mother saying “you’ll play with it once, and then it’ll end up in closet until it’s time to finally throw it out?” That’s what most of the 150 paraphernalia will be. But we’ll make it just the same. And we’ll buy it. And many years from now, some little kid will find one of these trinkets in a drawer and ask “mom, what did you buy this stupid thing for?” And it will be in the next garage sale.

Sexism at the Olympics, do they know it’s 2016? Editorial - With the Rio Olympics well underway, there is a lot of media coverage going on and while most of it is positive, there has been quite a bit of negative and sexist coverage too. These types of comments aren’t new to the Olympics, unfortunately, but this year we had hoped this wouldn’t be an issue because it is in fact 2016. The issues started immediately as members of the media (primarily sports casters from NBC) chose to blame the number of commercials and a replay delay on female viewers. NBC’s John Miller commented that the commercials were there because “more women watch the games than men, and for women, they’re less interested in the result and more interested in the journey. It’s sort of the ultimate reality show and miniseries wrapped into one.” These comments are offensive on a lot of levels, but they also don’t take into account that maybe there are more female viewers during the Olympics because women’s sports aren’t covered much in general. It is nice for female viewers to see female athletes compete, especially on a world stage, and they are likely excited to cheer them on. The hits kept coming when the games began and when Corey Cogdell-Unrein took her second Olympics bronze in women’s trap shooting. Instead of giving her the attention she deserved, the Chicago Tribune tweeted about her success and they referred to her as ‘wife of Bears lineman Mitch Unrein’. Because of course no one would have cared unless they knew about her husband. We understand that this was likely done to give context in Chicago and get people more interested in the story, but it also downplays her success and works to attribute it to her husband as well. Unless he competed in the event, he should simply be a side note in the article about her accomplishment. A similar incident occurred when Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú broke a world record and won a gold medal for the 400-meter individual medley. NBC announcers gave the credit to her husband Snahe Tusup, who is also her coach, saying “and there’s the person responsible for her performance.” Really? Did he get in the pool and race? On top of these examples, several female athletes have been criticized for their apparel, makeup choices and they have even been referred to as ‘girls’ throughout the games. This is simply unacceptable. Women struggle for equality with men on a day to day basis, but the Olympics are supposed to be inclusive and a time for athletes to shine on a world stage. We shouldn’t be taking that away from them or attributing their hard work to anyone but them. Wake up news media and give the credit where it is due.

Rutledge Road fire A home on Rutledge Road is a total loss after a fire that occurred on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 9. South Frontenac Fire was called to the house fire at about 9:30 a.m. A father, son, dog and cat were in the home at the time of the fire and were able to escape on their own. The cat was found in a closet by firefighters, covered by debris but otherwise unscathed. All told, about two dozen firefighters and fire apparatus from several departments attended the fire, said South Frontenac Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough. The cause was determined to be a malfunctioning generator outside of the home. Damage is estimated at $175-$200,000. Photo/ Cris Vilela

NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSING
The 2016 Kingston Grenadiers. Photo/submitted
Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a bylaw to stop up, close and sell part of a Township-owned road allowance as follows: Location: Between Lots 6 and 7, Concession XIII, District of Storrington Reason: The owner of property abutting the road allowance on the east, 4221 Opinicon Road, wishes to close the road to add to his land. This would add approximately 88 metres of waterfrontage on Upper Rock Lake to his one acre property. It is not anticipated that there would be any impact of this road closure on any other property-owners. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on September 6, 2016, at 7:00 PM. At that time, Council will hear in person any individual who claims that his or her land would be prejudicially affected and who has applied to be heard. Any comments or concerns to the Township would be appreciated before the above noted date. See the website under“News and Public Notices”for more information.
RECYCLING REMINDERS There are still problems within the Township with the collection of recyclables. Refer to the Recycle Calendar: The amount of residents putting out the wrong items on the wrong week is still a mystery. Please don’t look at your neighbors – they may be the ones that are wrong! Bagging: For some reason there are those that insist on stockpiling cans & plastics then putting out 4 or 5 bags. Our recycle collectors will begin to refuse any bagged recycling for the following reasons: All bags must be emptied into the truck with the bag left to fly around the countryside; They should not have to collect the emptied bags nor sort through the bagged recycling to find that a glass bottle, dirty styrofoam containers or simply household garbage has been thrown in the bag by mistake. Having your cans and plastics loose in a blue box gives them a quick visual as to what items are there. Stockpiling: If you tend to have a lot of cans or bottles on a biweekly basis, please DO NOT stockpile them then put out 4-5 receptacles that are not blue boxes. The contractors look for the trademark BLUE recycle boxes, not baskets or boxes. Crush your cans & deflate your plastic bottles then put them out whenever the proper weekly pickup is. Blue Boxes are still only $6 at our Keeley Road office. Colored Styrofoam is STILL being put out in the blue boxes. As numerous previous notices have said – As of May 9th, The City of Kingston is no longer collecting colored Styrofoam so please either refrain from purchasing items packaged on colored Styrofoam or be sure to garbage it. REMEMBER the steps that we ask of you in placing out your recycling is to ensure that when the recycling trucks arrive at the City’s Recycling Centre there are no problems or reasons for refusal. For those of us that recycle properly, we would like to encourage others to do so and as a result, create a cleaner environment for all of our children.

Nothing can compare to a week at the lake and in South Frontenac we have an abundance of clear lakes, beautiful trails and great cycling. The one thing that can dampen your vacation is the unsightly mess of a can or plastic bag floating by or the sounds of wildlife munching happily on garbage that was not properly disposed of. We hope you enjoy your stay but ask that you please regard our Garbage and Recycling policies. Dumping garbage at the side of the road or at the gates of a landfill on a Sunday night is not only unacceptable, it creates a huge problem for Township staff when their time could be better spent elsewhere.

Kingston author celebrates the life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier with new book By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – For years, Arthur Milnes has studied Sir John A Macdonald, but in all those years, he couldn’t help but notice the work of another famous Canadian politician too. “In studying Macdonald, it is pretty hard not to become impressed with his major opponent, Wilfrid Laurier,” explained Milnes. “I did a collection of Macdonald’s speeches a couple of years ago and through his speeches I developed an intense interest in the political oratory of Laurier.”
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, also known as Canada’s seventh prime minister, sat across and in opposition to Macdonald for almost 20 years; according to Milnes, Laurier watched his opponent very closely during that time. “Unlike Macdonald’s conservative colleagues, Laurier watched him carefully and learned from him. The two of them had excellent personal relations and they respected each other,” said Milnes. “As prime ministers, they very much complement each other; Macdonald plays the major role in founding Canada and Laurier cements it.”

To celebrate Laurier, Milnes decided to put together a collection of the prime minister’s speeches. In ‘Canada Always: The Defining Speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurier’, he looked at a number of speeches from throughout the politician’s career and even went as far back as his valedictory speech at McGill University. “He surprised everyone when he delivered that one because he did it entirely in French,” explained Milnes. “The speeches continue until his death in 1919 and I put in a few tribute speeches to Laurier’s memory after he died as well.” Milnes also put a call out to modern day politicians for their input on Laurier’s speeches and he was surprised with the response he received. “Almost nobody said no and theses are really busy people,” he said. “I took Laurier’s speeches, I edited them and then I would sit there and think about who could relate to that speech.” Continued on page 13

In the end, Milnes ended up with input from seven past prime ministers, a supreme court justice, sitting premiers and a number of local dignitaries including Hugh Segal, Kingston native Thomas Cromwell, a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, Thomas Harrison of Queen’s Law School and Kingston-born scholar Dr. Christopher McCreery. The book also closes with comments from former Prime Ministers Jean Chretien and Stephen Harper. “I thought it was important that the book close with the words of two prime ministers from different parties to demonstrate how important Laurier is to the story of Canada,” said Milnes. “Party politics don’t matter when it comes to Laurier.

Bringing dog grooming to your door Mark Bergin COLUMNIST
@markaidanbergin
Jessica Tremblay gives dogs a glow. She’s a professional groomer with a unique approach: doggies can visit her or she’ll bring the entire grooming studio to you. She’ll set up with a mobile grooming centre right at your own home. The customized trailer she uses is entirely self-contained and selfsufficient with its own water supply and power generator. It’s even got its own heat and air conditioning and a containment system for the dirty water after the dog is groomed. Dog grooming isn’t a luxury; it’s an important part of pet care. Done well by a professional, a grooming should make a dog feel like we humans feel during and after a massage. Tremblay’s involvement with animals began when she started riding horses at the age of five. She still has her own horse, a white Arabian. Tremblay graduated from the graphic design program at St. Lawrence College a few years ago and wanted to expand her skills. She’s an animal lover, and in addition to riding, she has dogs of her own and thought it might be rewarding to try her hand at dog grooming. Rather than just jumping into as in it as an apprentice the way that most people do, Tremblay applied to the best full-time dog grooming training program she could find. That took her to Saskatchewan, where the training centre also had mobile units. “I went out with the vans a couple of times and really liked it versus being inside a salon all day,” said Tremblay. She is now a Certified Master
Groomer. In addition, she is Pet First Aid Certifed. After graduation, she connected with the company that makes the vans, trucks and trailers. “I already had a truck, so decided on a trailer. There’s a company in the U.S. that converts vehicles into dog grooming salons.” She now gets to use her visual design skills and creative eye in making dogs look beautiful. People can drop off their dog or cat at Tremblay’s mobile studio, or, for a minimal extra cost Tremblay will bring her trailer right to your home. Your pet will get a full groom, which comprises a bath, brushing, drying, as well as a nail trim. She will groom for any kind of appearance you’d like. She will also clip to specific breed standards. She’ll work with any breed or mix. Some dogs don’t enjoy grooming as
much as others, so it’s helpful to have a groomer who understands the quirks of different breeds. “For example, occasionally a Shih Tzu may have very sensitive skin, so it takes longer to work with them, because they don’t want to be touched.” Dogs like Yorkies and poodles have hair that grows constantly. There’s no way they can remain healthy without proper grooming. Many dogs don’t like having their nails cut. The worst case scenario is an owner who isn’t skilled at nail clipping cutting the quick, causing the dog significant pain, which will make all future nail clipping even more difficult. A skilled groomer knows how to cut a dog’s nails in the most efficient manDog groomer Jessica Tremblay with two of her own dogs. Photo/Mark ner.

Bringing dog grooming to your door Continued from page 14
“It’s great for bigger or older dogs with mobility issues,” said Tremblay. “They don’t have to get in and out of a car and then travel to a groomer. I can come to them and they just have to walk outside their own home and into the trailer. My table lowers and raises; it’s all electric and the dog gets on and then can just walk across the bridge into the tub.” Her trailer is set up for any kind or size of dog. She also grooms cats. “Cats are very different from dogs,” she said. “You don’t use restraint. You follow them around on the table. Most cats are pretty cooperative, but today I had one that got aggressive.” Which explained the red scratch marks on her arms during our interview. Tremblay offers a great and convenient service. Prices for different sizes and breeds are listed on her website. It’s an extra $22 to have the mobile grooming centre come to your door in Kingston. “A big job takes about 3 hours,” she said. “Some specialized breed standards like those for a standard poodle can be time consuming.” Before Tremblay will work with your pet, it must be current with all of its vaccinations. “It’s also important to let the groomer know of any concerns. allergies and health issues the dogs might have.” The mobile grooming centre benefits more than just your pet. It can also be helpful for an owner with health issues. “The mobile grooming centre is a really nice alternative,” said Tremblay. “It’s great for dogs with separation anxiety or for people who have busy schedules or those who don’t have a vehicle. It’s great for older people and older dogs. I have a very gentle approach with older dogs, and I take a lot of time with them.” She said that if you are taking a dog to her, you should plan for it to be with Tremblay for at least two hours. “A standard poodle needs two to three hours, and with big dogs it’s more like three hours with me.” There are many health benefits to regular grooming of your dog. I still hear people say that they never have their dog groomed because it is unnatural and it
wouldn’t happen in the wild. Big surprise: these are domestic animals, not wild animals. They wouldn’t eat dried kibble or get vaccinations in the wild either.

‘Severe’ drought severely detrimental for trees, wells
Peggy Plunkett Hearing Instrument Specialist/Owner
News - You needn’t look farther than your front lawn or favourite park to see the effects this summer has had on the region. The grass has yellowed and dried, soil is cracking, and even the leaves on some trees have started to turn colours as though it’s autumn. And it’s the latter that may not bounce back quite as resiliently when humidity and heat levels do return to normal levels. “What’s happening with the trees and dropping their leaves, it’s kind of like a protection thing for them,” said Sean Watt, water resource engineer with the Cataraqui Region Water Response Team (CRWRT), which
changed the status of the region’s drought conditions from ‘moderate’ to ‘severe’ on Tuesday, Aug. 9. Trees do this when they’re lacking water in order to conserve their own energy, Watt explained. “It’s probable the trees are in a much worse condition than the grass is, where, given how long things have been dry and what’s happening to them right now, it’s possible we might have some trees that die off through this dry period,” he said. “Even if we did go back to regular rain [levels] right now, I’m not sure… I think some of the trees would still end up being hit pretty hard by this extended dry period.” Continued on page 17

‘Severe’ drought severely detrimental for trees, wells Continued from page 16
While Utilities Kingston had asked citizens to water trees on and near their property near the end of July, at this point, all citizens are being advised to conserve water consumption wherever possible, specifically in outdoor water use. This includes not using water outdoors to water grass and trees, Watt explained, who suggested those who are inclined to might reuse grey water from doing dishes or taking baths to water their trees or plants. As for the once-plush and vibrant lawns throughout the area, Watt expressed most grass should survive the drought. “Essentially what’s happening now is the same thing that happens every winter: [The grass] goes dormant and the ground freezes in the winter, and then when things thaw out and we get rain and warmth it comes back,” he said. “I think really it will just be an extended dormant period.” This severe drought is not entirely unlike those we’ve experienced in the area before, Watt said, pointing to 2001 as the most comparable year to
this one. Only 10 mm of rain fell across the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) on average over the past month, a whopping 60 mm less the average rainfall for the same period. Stream flows are nearing the lowest ever recorded, according to the CRCA, and some streams and ponds have dried up completely. The Conservation Authority also advises that lake levels have been falling by as much as 2.5 cm per day, and can pose hazards to boaters and swimmers. One of the biggest issues the drought is causing pertains to those using wellsupplied water. Many wells are drying up, with some running completely dry, and it’s a problem those on well water cannot easily fix, Watt explained. “When it goes dry, it goes dry, so there’s not a whole lot you can do with your well at that point,” he said, advising those on well supply to conserve their water use as much as possible. “If it really comes down to having to get water once the well goes dry, the best option is to bring in a holding tank or a cistern of some sort and have that hooked into your system
through the house, so that you can have a water hauler come in and fill that up.” Whether the drought will reach the point of being classified as an ‘emergency’ is up to the municipality, Watt said, adding that there are a number of municipalities in the region that have plans in place for those whose wells do dry up. “Napanee has a system in right now where you can come down and, for a toonie, you can get a cubic meter of water. Loyalist [Township] is looking into doing something along those lines, too,” he said. It will take a good amount of rain, and steady rain over a number of days in order to see the drought’s effects reversed, Watt said, and even then, rain will need to come at levels more consistent with average norms over a period of time to have the situation improve. Until then, exercising extreme caution around any kind of flame is important, whether it’s a citronella candle on your deck, or a cigarette butt you want to put out. “We’re advising all residents throughout the region to conserve water, and avoid using fire if at all possible,” said Watt.

Wedding day shenanigans leave lasting memories Mary Cook
COLUMNIST
editorial@theheritageemc.ca The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas. Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth in the rumour. I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs. Unfortunately
there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party, so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch. The day finally arrived, and all Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too! A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal, I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid eyes on the lad before, and my first introduction to him was when he stuck his tongue out at me, and crossed his eyes right on the church steps! My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were about to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way.

Wedding day shenanigans leave lasting memories Continued from page 19
I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep. Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture. But soon you could hear the loud snores all over the church. The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over. It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary

that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over. The dress became my “going to church dress”, but the shoes would never touch my feet again. One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brownlaced boys shoes, which also came in the hand-me-down box from Regina. Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again, think the Depression was happening in some other country.

Pokémon Go: the ends totally justify the means By Kevin Clarke
R0013602431
Column - “Hey, any of you Red?” said the teen on the skateboard as he rolled up to a group of us in Zwicks park in Belleville. “Yeah, we all are!” from the family of four about 10 feet from us. “We should all band together and go take that gym!” says the teen, an excited timbre to his voice. In a day and age where we lament the lack of
social interaction, especially in our youth, this was a breath of fresh air. Do I care what the motivation was? Why this random teen approached random strangers to enlist their help in an adventure? Nope. Not even a tiny bit. This wasn’t a recruiting pitch for anything malicious, it was a game he was playing and he willingly approached and invited strangers to play. This is what we’ve seen since my wife and I

started playing Pokémon Go: increased outdoor activity, increased social interactions and increased random conversations. No matter what is driving it, these things are good. Parks are fuller, people are getting out, and all the while they are interacting with each other over a common point of interest they didn’t have five short weeks ago. And it’s not just the kids. I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle. Very much couch focused. This game gives me the excuse/motivation/reason to get out. My wife and I have walked most nights after my toddler is in bed. (We also have a teen that is great at watching him.) We dusted off our bikes because we can range further and explore more. We’re looking at bike racks for the car so we can get further, explore more and most importantly capture different Pokémon. But, as with anything new, the naysayers are in abundance. They’re disparaging all of these great things because they come at the cost of carrying around an electronic device. I’m not sure if they’ve noticed but 68 per cent of Canadians have smartphones already. They’re already using them, all the time. In my mind this particular use fosters different behaviours; dare I say it, better behaviours? They focus on the youth, saying that they’re still motivated by video games, by fantasy worlds that don’t focus on reality. So what? If the choice is the stereotypical teen glued to the couch with controller in hand or the new version who is outside, walking, riding, moving and seeing new and different places? I know which side of that fence I’m
landing on. Especially when it involves a random teen coming up to me and engaging in a conversation to enlist my help in something he is excited about.
Kevin Clarke and his son, Logan.

Suicide Squad comes close but doesn’t quite measure up By Mark Haskins
Let’s be honest, DC hasn’t really gotten this movie thing figured out. At least not like a certain rival comic book universe. The good news is Suicide Squad doesn’t suck. The bad news is the bar is high, and Suicide Squad doesn’t quite get there. In light of the possibility that someone like Superman could rip the roof off the White House, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) has come up with a plan. She wants to use the worst of the worse, criminals who are completely expendable, to do the missions no one
else can. When one of Amanda’s potential candidates goes rogue her plan is put into action. Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Diablo (Jay Hernandez), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), and Slipknot (Adam Beach) get a miniature bomb injected into their heads, and a one-way ticket into an unholy mess. Of course they have to have chaperones and this is where Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman) and Katana (Karen Fukuhara) come in. The unholy mess is Dr. June Moone (Cara Delenvigne), or to be specific
MOVIE: Suicide Squad STARRING: Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jay Hernandez, Jai Courtney, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Cara Delenvigne, Karen Fukuhara, Jared Leto, and Viola Davis DIRECTOR: David Ayer RATING: PG
and Karen Fukuhara are great. Cara Delenvigne is deliciously evil as the Enchantress, and Viola Davis is as cold blooded and ruthless as her criminal team. In other words she’s perfect. One of the big things with Suicide Squad is seeing Jared Leto as the Joker. Now, Leto’s Joker doesn’t come close to Heath Ledger’s. No one’s will. Though to be fair the Joker is only part of a minor sub-plot, and Leto doesn’t get a real chance to be the Joker. He looks good, he sounds good, but I think I need to see more before I can say if he’s good or not. Will Smith keeps the anger and
intensity on a low simmer the whole movie, but with a confidence and control that you’d expect from the world’s greatest assassin. He is the ideal Deadshot. Of course the show stopper is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. She is everything Harley is supposed to be. She is sexy, funny, intelligent and a total psychopath. Suicide Squad is one of the best DC movies to date. Which makes it good, but not the spine-tingling experience we’ve come to expect. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

the supernatural entity known as the Enchantress that possesses Moone. The Enchantress has freed her brother, and together they plan to wipe out humanity. It falls to the Suicide Squad to stop her. Suicide Squad is a solid action movie. It’s got the star power, the effects, that wry sense of humour, and those cool action movie moments. The story avoids going too long, or wandering off on tangents. Yet it lacks that wow factor. It’s a good movie, but it isn’t the mustsee movie event of the summer.

Cruise for a cause: Third annual Ride for Kids benefits Boys and Girls Club By Tori Stafford
tstafford@metroland.com
Events - If the idea of motorcycle clubs and enthusiasts coming together with children’s community groups doesn’t make sense to you, think again – or just come out and see for yourself what can happen when passionate bikers put the rubber on the road for local kids. The third annual Ride for Kids in support of Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area (BGCK) takes place on Sunday, Aug. 21, and promises to be bigger and better than ever. The event has grown steadily since its first year, cofounder Wayne Leeman explained, and over 300 motorcycles are expected to attend this year.
“It’s been totally unreal. The first year we had six weeks to have this up and running, by word of mouth only, and 65 motorcycles showed up and we raised $2,200,” said Leeman, who co-founded the event with Mike Corkey of the Northern Stars Motorcycle Association. “We over tripled that last year.” Leeman, who serves as a bus driver for the Robert Meek Youth Centre BGCK location, explained that the Ride for Kids team has expanded the event to make it more exciting and prosperous. This year will include vendors on site for the first time, as well as raffles, door prizes, 50/50 draws and a raffle-based auction. Leeman credits community donations and the “amazing team” of organizers for ensuring

the event has as few overhead costs as possible. For those at BGCK, it’s those efforts that make the event such a valuable fundraiser for their organization. “It’s a very, very important event for us, and we are so fortunate to have this relationship with such a great group of people,” says Deanna Davies, director of resource development and communications for BGCK. “We service over 4,700 children in Kingston and the area now, so every penny raised truly counts… The dedication that these volunteers have is just amazing.” The event takes place at the BGCK West End Hub in the Frontenac Mall, with registration for the Ride beginning at 9 a.m. Participants can also pre-register from 5 to 7 p.m. at the West End Hub on Saturday, Aug. 20. Leeman hopes to see any and all motorcycle enthusiasts come out for the scavenger-hunt-style “Mystery Ride” which will cover 123km. It’s an event that shows the ‘softer side’ of bikers – something that may seem unusual, but is really more common than you might think. “Riders will ride for any reason,” Leeman said with a laugh. “But when it’s for kids? Their hearts go into it, 100 per cent.” For more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/ KingstonRFK/

Plum gelato great alternative to traditional ice cream Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used. Italian ice cream has less of both. Preparation Time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1-1/2 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6 Ingredients: • 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Italian Prune Plums • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Honey Custard: • 1 egg • 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half-and-half cream • 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk • 2 tbsp (25 mL) honey Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Cut each plum in half, but not all the way through and remove pit. Place plums cut side up in prepared pan (they will be snug). Drizzle with honey. Roast in 425ºF (220ºC) oven until very soft, darker in colour and caramelized on the bottom, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth. Pour into container, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preparation instructions: Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, milk and honey until honey is dissolved. Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove 1/2 cup (125 mL) of warm mixture and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of metal spoon, about 8 minutes. Pour into heatproof bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight. Gently whisk plum purée into custard. Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions. Freeze in covered container. For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving. Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to 3 weeks.
