Vintage automobiles a hit at Cattail Festival for 19 years now Reporter

Gazette News — For 19 years now, a Sunday feature of the Verona Cattail Festival has been the gathering of vintage automobiles. That first year, there were about 50 of them. Last year, the number grew to 198 and this year, there were about 180. “Not all the vehicles are registered with us or parked on the field,” said Larry Teal, who along with co-co-ordinator Ed Asselstine oversees the event. “Some are just parked in the parking lot. “This year, the oldest vehicle was a Ford Model T, and we have everything from the early 1900s right up to the ’80s and ’90s.” (Technically, a vehicle has to be 30 years old to qualify for a historical license plate.) Like any passion, it’s probably not any one given thing that drives people to restore and/or collect old cars, he said. “I’ve restored at least 30-some,”

he said. “Right now, I have eight (including the 1935 Chevy half-ton he had on display).”

“I have four (including the 1931 Ford pickup he had on display),” said Asselstine.

They hedge when asked how much money they’ve spent fixing up old cars. “The Chevy would cost you about $40,000 to buy,” Teal said. “The Ford would be about $28,000,” said Asselstine. While owning multiple antique vehicles isn’t unusual, Asselstine said, there are a “lot of people who just own one or two. “I’d say the ’50s and ’60s are the most popular.” This stands to reason, he said, because there are a lot of memories associated with vehicles and given the age of the collectors, it’s likely they’ll choose to have something that they admired in their youth or perhaps a vehicle like one Dad

Also, there’s a voting system whereby the winner takes home a cash price that’s usually in the $75 range. “We instituted a one car-one vote system to make it fair,” Teal said. But really, nobody’s in it for the money, even Teal, who’s a certified appraiser for insurance purpose. “You get it in your blood,” said Teal. “Yeah, and a little mechanical inclination helps,” said Asselstine.

Miniature horses can stay for another 60 days while Township works on bylaw By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Tommy and Teddy, the miniature horses owned by Brian Skillen and Margaret Mallory on their property

in Arden, can stay put for another 60 days while Central Frontenac staff looks at how to best accommodate them permanently, Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The miniature horses, who’ve become

something of a fixture at events in the area giving cart rides to kids and as regular visitors to seniors residences, were recently the recipients of an eviction notice when a neighbour complained. As per the Zoning Bylaw, ‘horses’ and

“We believe the contravention order may be in error.” Most of Council seemed to agree, even though CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson did confirm he’d received a phone call from Ministry of Environment officials concerned of potential well contamination. “My reading of this is that if someone moved in with two or even three large dogs, we wouldn’t be having this conversation,” said Coun. John Purdon. “I agree we have to at least look at the pollution aspect but it appears to me maybe our bylaw wording needs to be refined.” “To me, it sounds like somebody made a call to the Ministry of Environment to harass a citizen who does good work in the community,” said Coun. Norm Guntensperger to thunderous applause from the crowd. In the end, Council passed a motion (moved and seconded by the two Kennebec members, Tom Dewey and Jeff Matson) saying the horses would be allowed to stay for at least 60 days while staff had a look at whether the bylaw needed to be changed in order to let them stay permanently. Donaldson said they would have something for Council to look at for the next meeting in September. R0012849595

other farm animals are not allowed on parcels of land under an acre. However, Skillen and Mallory argue that “the boys” are pets, not farm animals. And a lot of their other neighbours agreed, signing a petition and packing Oso Hall to let Council know what they thought of a Zoning Bylaw that would prohibit the keeping of miniature horses, which are about 150 pounds each, on any land that isn’t classified as a farm. “I used to own a Labrador/Newfie mix that was bigger than these guys,” said Glenys Coffin, who along with Rebecca Kelsey, presented the case for the horses to Council. “I’ve never seen the community come together like this for anything else.” Coffin and Kelsey related numerous anecdotes of how the horses have earned their keep in the community, including a visit to Pine Meadows nursing home and helping draw an autistic boy out of his shell. “The bylaw refers specifically to the production of animal products,” Kelsey said. “But these horses are so small that they are unable to perform agricultural functions such as pulling a plow or being ridden.

Existing Natural Gas Pipeline Existing Compressor Station Existing Compressor Station (additional compression to be added)

TransCanada would like to take this opportunity to update you on the Eastern Mainline Project. The proposed project is needed to meet firm service commitments following the proposed transfer of a portion of the Canadian Mainline capacity to crude oil service from natural gas services as a part of the Energy East Project. The project is also required to meet growing market demand for new supplies of natural gas from the U.S. Northeast. TransCanada is proposing to add new natural gas pipeline facilities to the existing Canadian Mainline system in Ontario. These new facilities would be added in sections between Markham and the Township of South Dundas, on the southern arm of the Eastern Triangle. The preliminary scope of the project included the construction of approximately 370 km of pipeline. TransCanada has now finalized contracts with commercial shippers and determined a refined scope in order to ensure the appropriate amount of capacity is constructed to meet TransCanadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing and new firm contractual commitments. The proposed project scope now includes approximately 250 km of 36 inch pipeline with the addition of nine new 11 MW compressor units to be installed at five existing compressor stations.

and Quebec with a safe and reliable source of natural gas. TransCanada has considered a number of routing options as part of the consultation process with interested landowners and stakeholders. An initial proposed route was shared in project materials that were provided at Open Houses held between May and June 2014 and during other outreach activities this year. During the Open Houses and as part of ongoing conversations with landowners and stakeholders, we received important feedback and have refined the route for the pipeline. We are continuing our engagement efforts and welcome any additional feedback as we refine route deviations. We welcome any questions or comments you may have. TransCanada anticipates submitting our application to the National Energy Board in the third quarter of 2014. Engagement will be ongoing throughout the NEB review process and the construction and operation phases of the project.

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Faced with rising policing costs, municipalities may have to look outside the box such.

Craig Bakay Reporter

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea that may not be as crazy as it first sounds. How do you feel about the idea of a volunteer police force? While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not quite sure what the final figures will be, it sure as hell seems certain that all rural municipalities in Ontario are facing a whopping increase in policing costs. For example, Central Frontenac Treasurer Mike McGovern (whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty sharp with numbers that have dollar signs in front of them) estimates policing costs for Central in 2015 to be in the $1,213,899 to $1,278,534 range. That would represent an increase of $426,916 to $484,282 if implemented in one year. Put another way, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awful damn close to half a million bucks and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of salt, sand and patched potholes, not to mention contributions to the food bank and seniors care. On the other hand, fire protection costs net for 2014 is $795,345. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a net cost because fire services does bring in some revenue in the form of fines, burning permits, fundraisers and

Presumably, a municipal police detachment could bring in some revenue from fines and/or services. The Police Services Act doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specifically prohibit a volunteer police force, what it says is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every municipality . . . shall provide adequate and effective police services in accordance with its needs.â&#x20AC;? Adequate, and effective in accordance with its needs would seem to be a key phrase here. Of course there is one clause of the Police Services Act that might prove problematic. Section 49. (1)(c) says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A member of a police force shall not engage in any activity that would otherwise constitute full-time employment for another person.â&#x20AC;? This would seem to effectively eliminate anyone who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selfemployed but maybe the Liberal Government at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park might consider a little change in order to build up a some good-will in rural Ontario (where it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win too many seats last time around). Now there are probably those who would say that a volunteer fire department and a volunteer police department isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a very good comparison. But you know what? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve covered major stories involving big city, full-time fire

departments and rural volunteer fire departments and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot of difference when it comes to professionalism, training and effectiveness. The biggest differences are on frequency and scale. And if I were in trouble, I know a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to see coming through the door. Granted, firefighters and police officers do have different jobs. But the similarities would seem to be significant as well. Both professions carry a high degree of risk that requires specific skill sets that need to be developed. Whether those skills for volunteer police officers can be developed on the same model as volunteer firefighters is, of course, an unanswered question as to my knowledge, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been tried before. But perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a model worth exploring. Now maybe this whole thing is just a goofy idea but you have to wonder. At the very least, there likely would be no shortage of volunteers. For example, take the response of one councilor I floated the idea by. His response was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I get a gun?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most certainly,â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I volunteer,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, August 21, 2014

How can we stop the stigma for good? Gazette Editorial - Last week, the world became a little less funny. On Aug. 11, people around the world were stunned by the news that actor and comedian Robin Williams was dead. Williams was found in his home at the age of 63 after dying from suicide, but how could someone who was funny and always seemed so happy take their own life? It is unlikely that the world or even Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family will ever know the answer to that question. All we know is that Williams was battling with a disease that affects millions of people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; depression. While many people still dismiss depression and mental health issues, Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death proves once again that these issues are extremely important and as long as there is still stigma attached to these diseases, more and more people will suffer silently just like he did. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), 20 per cent of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime and mental illness will indirectly affect all Canadians at some time through a family member, friend or colleague. Many of those who suffer will attempt suicide and nearly half of those suffering from depression will never seek help from a doctor. These facts are alarming, but they also point out how taboo mental health issues still are in our society today. As the world mourns the death of Robin Williams, we need to shift the focus away from his celebrity status and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;price of fameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and instead focus on the issue of mental health. This year, Canada saw an increase in awareness about mental health thanks to Clara Hughes and her cross country bike ride, but that conversation needs to continue. We need to be lobbying for more funding for mental health and increasing the day to day talk about it. Those who suffer need to know that they can speak up without judgement and they need to be able to get the help they need without issue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that the world lost an extremely talented person last week, but maybe his death can serve a purpose. Robin Williams showed that depression and mental health issues can affect anyone, anywhere, at any age and hopefully we all learned from that and can move forward with that in mind.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, August 21, 2014

LDSB declares Hinchinbrooke PS surplus, Central expresses interest in property last week to once again urge the Township to pursue acquisition of the building. CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson confirmed the school board’s decision, adding that he has talked to them on the matter. “They (the LDSB) are not looking for an offer to purchase right away,” Donaldson said. “They will be inviting groups to come forward and will then walk everyone through the process and share the most current information about the building and

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Following the news that the Limestone District School Board has officially declared Hinchinbrooke Public School in Parham surplus and approved the sale of the property, Hinchinbrooke rec committee members Sue Leslie and Bob Teal appeared before Central Frontenac Council’s regular meeting in Sharbot Lake

grounds so that we can make an informed decision.” One of the reasons often cited for the Township to acquire the building is to maintain the library presence in Parham. But Coun. John Purdon, Frontenac County’s representative on the library board, said the library only requires 1,000 square feet and that for only six hours a week. The school is almost 14,000 square feet.

“I think it’s a good idea to say we’re interested but we have a very big building and what are we going to do with it?” Purdon said. “We have to work hard to find users to fill that space or it’s just not going to fit the program.” Leslie said several community groups, including North Frontenac Community Services, RKY Camp and an artists group have expressed interest in becoming tenants. “Do the people who have expressed interest have money?” asked Coun. Heather Fox. “RKY wouldn’t have capital funds and the artists group seems to have only ideas,” Leslie said. However, she said that NFCS director Don Amos had expressed interest in using the building for youth outreach programs and seniors programs whereby they could “make some contribution to operating costs.” Another concern is with access for

those with disabilities. “I just hope the other groups who want to use it come with money because when the Township owns it, the access rules become more strict,” said Dep. Mayor Frances Smith. “But I still think we should look into it.” Leslie said their group is exploring possibilities that the upper floors could be used for storage only, perhaps with access provided by a power chair lift at the stairs. She said they have tried to apply for funds for things like engineering studies from the province and Frontenac County but “we weren’t able to get any grant money until the Township puts its money where it’s mouth is.” Coun. Jeff Matson suggested the Township contact other groups such as St. Lawrence College to see if they were interested in some sort of partnership arrangement and Council passed a motion to send a letter to the LDSB expressing the Township’s interest in the property.

Central Frontenac passes new building bylaw with increased fees schedule Reporter

R0012789506

Gazette News — Central Frontenac Township passed a new building bylaw raising permit fees at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake but at least one councilor wasn’t entirely happy with the bill. “I did review the document,” said Coun. John Purdon. “Some suggestions I made were incorporated into it and some were not.” Purdon questioned the building index to be used as an indicator for setting fees, suggesting the CPU might be more appropriate. “That (building) index is fine for large urban structures but it doesn’t really apply to our buildings here,” said Purdon. But Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven argued that the CPU was a “basket index,” that while accurately reflecting the changes in price for a bag of groceries, wasn’t necessarily reflective of what bricks and mortar cost. Purdon also wanted to see a clause looking for permit fees to be adjusted annually changed to once per council term. “I suggest Council look at this the way we do cemetery fees and others,” Purdon said. “We try to keep the fees to round numbers and I think they could rise very quickly with this method. “I just see these annual reviews as nuisance numbers.” The new Building Bylaw was based, in part, on South Frontenac’s new bylaw, Neven said. Under the new bylaw, a building permit, including additions, alterations, etc, will cost $14

per thousand dollars of projected value. Demolition permits are now $90 per structure for total demolition or $80 per partial demolition. Solar installations are $100 per permit and wood stoves, fireplaces or new chimneys are $80 per structure. There are also new fees for re-inspections, reports, investigations and third party review or consultations. The new fees are available on the Central Frontenac website. ••• A request from the Friends of Arden to provide assistance for their annual hamlet cleanup was met with enthusiastic approval from Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. For a few years now, the FOA have been picking up litter and such from various areas and streams around the hamlet and this year asked the Township to provide trucks to transport the gar- Gazette Events – OK, so it’s not Indy but Mason Schjerning and Brent Orser certainly enbage and recyclables to the landfill site. joyed the Soapbox Derby part of last weekend’s Cattail Festival in Verona. “We are very fortunate to have community Photo/Craig Bakay groups willing to take on these sorts of jobs,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski. ••• Council approved changes to the site plan agreement for the Granite Ridge Education Centre which staff said were required after construction crews ran into unexpected rock formations while building the primary school playground area. “Will the playground be completed for the 1 TON OF PELLETS start of the school year in September?” said Coun.

All of your Classroom supplies! As a new school year draws nearer, parents can employ several strategies to help their kids readjust to the rigors of the classroom.

How to make school lunch healthier The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions. Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired. As part of the 2010 Healthy, HungerFree Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while limiting calories. Despite some

controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements. Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a well-funded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations. Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow. * Offer nutrient-dense foods. Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrient-

dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer. * Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. The American Heart Association recommends kids get no more than 25 to 35 percent of their calories from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources. * Let kids choose some of their food. Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps. * Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and

cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients. * Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat

milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages. Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies.

Teddy Bear Picnic celebrates its 20th anniversary By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette Events – It’s that time of year again – time to break out the teddy bears and head down to Lake Ontario Park for the 20th annual Teddy Bear Picnic. The Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area will be hosting the event again this year and Chris Carvalho, Marketing & Special Event Coordinator for the club, hopes that this year will be bigger and better than ever. “We had nearly 5,000 people come out last year and we hope to see even more this year,” said Carvalho. “This is our third year hosting and we’ve worked out all of the kinks by now and we hope it is a lot of fun.” The event will include the traditional events that go along with the picnic like the teddy bear hospital, t-shirt painting, arts and crafts, petting zoos, wagon rides and jumpy castles. There will also be some new events this year, but Carvalho doesn’t want to ruin the surprise. “There will be a few new and

exciting stations,” he added. “Our biggest change is making the stations bigger. We want to be able to process more people and serve more people faster. We want the kids to do as much as possible and we want them to be able to experience every station throughout the day.” Also new this year is a shuttle bus from Richardson Stadium. The shuttle will run every half hour and parents are encouraged to park there instead of trying to navigate through the traffic around Lake Ontario Park. Kids can also ride the Kingston City Busses for free on the day of the event if they have a teddy bear with them and Carvalho urges people to take public transit if they can. Funds raised from the event, which is also sponsored by Tiny Hoppers, will go towards the event itself and the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area. This year, that includes helping with their new west end location. “The facility opens in September and we are so excited,” added Carvalho. “The building is in Frontenac

The facility has the potential to serve other community members too and he hopes that everyone will take advantage. “There will be lots of time during the day for seniors groups to use the space or sports leagues. We are looking forward to making it a great community space for everyone.” The new facility is just another great reason to come out and support the picnic, adds Carvalho, and he hopes to see thousands of Kingstonians in attendance. “The event has been adored in From left, Chris Carvalho, Hope Gragaro and Brynn Gragaro outside of Kingston for the past 20 years and it the Boys and Girls Club for Kingston and Area with their teddy bears.

Frontenac County is looking for quilters who want to become part of history mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News – If you love to quilt and would love to have one of your quilts displayed as part of local history then look no further. To commemorate the County of Frontenac’s 150th Anniversary in 2015, the Anniversary Planning Advisory Committee is looking for a unique quilt design that will be displayed in a prominent location throughout the celebrations and for many years to come. “We’ve been tossing around ideas for about two years now and we’ve been trying to narrow in on what kinds of things would be appropriate for the anniversary,” explained Central Frontenac mayor and county council member Janet Gutowski. “Quilting is certainly a strong part of our heritage and some

of the townships have a collection of quilts that have been donated over the years and we wanted to showcase and add to that.” The competition was also inspired by the recent logo design contest that was held by the county last year and Gutowski hopes that this competition will generate a similar response. “We know that there are many people in the area that have quilting skills and we thought it worked really well with the heritage of the community too.” Only residents, part-time or fulltime, of Frontenac County may enter the competition and those interested can enter the competition as a team or as an individual. Artists must submit a drawing or design of their quilt, a statement about their design, and a statement about their skills as a quilter. “We also want the quilt to reflect

past, present and future of the county,” added Gutowski. “We hope to display the quilt in the newly renovated Fairmont Home auditorium. We want it to be in a place where it can be viewed and appreciated by many people and I think that location is perfect.” The quilt competition is just one of many events that are being planned leading up to the 150th anniversary of Frontenac County in 2015 and Gutowski is looking forward to seeing it all come together in the coming year. “We are planning a showcase that will take place from Aug. 28 to 30 in 2015 and it will feature parades and barbecues and heritage exhibits. It will be a fun filled weekend to celebrate the anniversary.” Museums in the county are also gearing up for the celebrations and will feature various heritage items

ALDSB welcomes students to the 2014/15 school year Throughout the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, we remain resolute in our commitment to academic excellence and the relentless pursuit of success for each student. We are committed to creating a faith-ﬁlled learning environment that afﬁrms the dignity and value of each person. In our Catholic schools, all partners have a shared responsibility to create communities of belonging that are safe, inclusive and respectful. Our Trustees have outlined for us our Board’s longterm strategic vision when they approved a renewed multi-year strategic plan, framed around our pillars of Discipleship, Scholarship and Stewardship. Guided by these principles, we continue to focus our efforts to improve student achievement, ensure our students’ well-being and support and guide their faith formation. As a community of believers created in the image of God, we inspire and nurture strong communities of faith. Our Religious and Family Life Education programs impart the knowledge of our faith through scripture, story and tradition. The collaboration of caring adults in the school, the home and the parish supports students as they grow to become discerning believers and responsible citizens formed in Catholic traditions. In our schools, we build and sustain engaged communities of learning that promote high levels of students achievement, in a culture that supports the belief that all students can learn. Instruction and assessment are differentiated in response to students’ strengths, needs and prior learning. The implementation of Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten is now complete in all our schools, and a continued focus on full-day

in the coming year. Gutowski urges all members of the community to get involved in some way and points out that the quilting competition is an excellent place to start. “It is certainly a chance to express yourself to the community and the piece will be highly showcased, giving that person a lot of media attention. Whoever designs this piece will be creating a lasting legacy for themself. The piece will be showcased for many, many years to come and it will become a part of our history.” Entries for the quilting competition must be submitted by Friday, Sept. 26. Judging will take place soon after and the winner will be announced on Oct. 15 at the County Council meting. The winning artist will then be commissioned to complete the quilt and will receive compensation of $2,000. For more infor-

ENCHANTÉ

Fresh air in the jazz scene By Mark Bergin Columnist

Enchanté - Keep your eyes (and ears) on a couple of jazz singers who are making musical waves. Simona De Rosa and Madeleine Peyroux are unique and powerful musicians in the current world of jazz. What is probably one of the stranger backstories in a jazz musician’s life comes from Simona De Rosa. She’s always been a singer, but, like many, the De Rosa parents didn’t think music was a possible career choice. “I was singing more and more, and in the meantime I was taking a degree in geology,” says De Rosa. “The day after I got my degree I announced that I was saving to come to New York to sing.” She wasn’t just studying geology; she worked in the field during her undergrad studies. In an odd juxtaposition, on her Facebook page there’s a photo album called When

I Was A Geologist. The urban, sophisticated look is gone. De Rosa is in Indiana Jones environments and clothing. At the moment, she’s working on a Master’s Degree in Jazz Performance at Queen’s College of City University of New York. You’re going to hear a lot from her in the future. I first heard Simona De Rosa at The Garage jazz club in Greenwich Village. Simona was the lovely woman sitting at the bar beside me. Part way through the band’s set, the leader called her up to join them. With no vocal warm up, she jumped right into some riffs, including scat, a difficult vocal technique that involves singing improv melodies and rhythms. Ella Fitzgerald was a master of scat. A highlight of De Rosa’s impromptu performance was Blackbird, which had everyone in the restaurant putting forks, knives, spoons and wine glasses down to stare and listen, followed by thunderous applause. Basically, where did this woman come from?

I had to shake my head to make sure I was awake. A few months later, in the Algonquin Hotel’s lounge, an appropriate setting for this sophisticated yet downto-earth singer, De Rosa explained how she got up from her bar stool and launched into high-caliber jazz. “I never warm up,” she says. She believes that she has to be ready to go on stage and impress at any time. “Otherwise I may as well stay at home and sing in the shower.” She can’t remember ever not singing. “I started singing along with cartoons,” she says. She began voice lessons at the age of 15. A year later, she won a singing competition in Italy. She sang New York, New York, a harbinger for her career. From there it was pop bands and then big band jazz. “I’ve always liked jazz music,” she says. These days, she’s spending more and more time performing at important jazz gigs. “A lot has happened since I moved

here (New York),” she says. “A lot of other doors are opening as an Italian who also sings Neapolitan music.” Two weeks after our interview she was heading back to Italy to perform at two major jazz festivals.

She says she wants to take what’s she’s learned in the New York jazz scene to Naples. Continued on page 17

ENCHANTÉ

Fresh air in the jazz scene “There is a big focus on jazz in Italy,” she says. “It is more interesting for people to go to jazz festivals, especially traditional jazz. Here (in North America) you will find more funk and fusion. In Italy, we are kind of old style. But in Italy, it still seems like you have to go somewhere else and be successful and then come back.” Her longer term goal is to live and succeed in New York. She has her eyes set on performing at Lincoln Center one day. What the singer doesn’t mention is that when she first arrived in New York City for three months in 2011, she did not speak English. In January 2013, she moved to New York. She was featured in the June 2014 edition of Fra Noi, an ItalianAmerican magazine. In the past year, she received two awards from the Association of Italian America Educators recognizing her “spirited leadership, dedication and her outstanding cultural contribution to the Italian community in America.” Her advice to younger musicians is to be well prepared, well educated and persistent. “Train, train, train and study, study, study,” she says. “And knock on every door you can. Don’t be shy. That’s the beauty of New York. If you keep knocking, people will open the door for you, but then you have to prove what you can do. You have to be hungry for it. New York has so much to give and I have to bite everything of the big apple.” Although she has musical mentors like Aretha Franklin, Liza Minnelli and Ella Fitzgerald, De Rosa says her parents are her real idols. “My parents gave me an education,” she says. “They pushed me all the time to be a better person. They helped open my mind and gave me a chance to travel. Also, my mentor is street life. What you can learn on the street meeting people is the best.” Not far from The Garage jazz bar, you’ll find The Blue Note. A few years back I wandered in for the evening to hear someone who had been described to me as the new jazz phenom, Madeleine Peyroux. Like Simona De Rosa, Peyroux owns an odd back-story, although hers is in music. After hearing her at Blue Note, I felt like I’d just experienced a soothing emotional massage. Her music can be quite edgy, but the beautifully smoky vocals make the lyrical grit mysterious. Close your eyes and you might think she’s Billie Holiday, even though I find Peyroux’s style uniquely her own. Driving with a friend recently,

when Madeleine Peyroux came on the sound system, my friend said, “I love Billy Holiday.” She looked at me in disbelief when I told her it was Madeleine Peyroux. There’s a folksy sense to her music, but it remains steadfastly jazz oriented. Songs like La Vie en Rose, made famous by Edith Piaf, should usually be left to the original masters who recorded them. I’ve heard too many classics massacred. But Madeleine Peyroux makes it her own, while maintaining its original sensuousness. It helps that she speaks French. Peyroux, American born and of French descent, spent her childhood in California and New York City, but when her parents divorced, she moved with her mother to Paris at the age of 13. In Paris, she discovered the Latin Quarter’s street musicians. By the age of 16, she was in a jazz and blues band touring Europe. She eventually moved back to New York and was signed by Atlantic Records. Her first album, Dreamland, was released in 1996. She was instantly called the 21st century Billie Holiday. In 1997, she appeared at the Montreal Jazz Festival. Then she disappeared, returning to the streets of Paris where she spent several years busking and remaining low key, although she did perform and record in support of other musicians. She was signed by a new label, Rounder, and recorded with producer Larry Klein. Her 2004 album Careless Love was a critical success and had massive sales. She was no longer an unknown artist. There’s a multicultural appeal to her work; she’s just as comfortable singing in French as English. In 2007, she was awarded recognition as Best International Jazz Artist at the BBC Jazz Awards. Her fourth solo album, Bare Bones, released in 2009, featured all original tracks. Peyroux is not your typical publicity hungry monster. With no lifestyle scandals and no stints in rehab, she simply “disappears” or at least drops out of sight for lengthy periods. It’s hard to imagine the likes of some of today’s egomaniacs giving up the limelight, but that’s part of what creates the mystery of Madeleine Peyroux. There’s so much of her musical territory still to explore. You can hear Madeleine Peyroux at Kingston’s Grand Theatre on December 11. Let’s hope Simona De Rosa isn’t far behind her in touring Canada.

One Dog Two Lives charity hopes to raise awareness about therapy dogs mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At the age of nine, Grace Boyd was diagnosed with depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). At the age of 14, doctors added on anxiety disorder, which includes sporadic anxiety attacks. While Boyd tried numerous medications and therapies, nothing seemed to work effectively. Her doctor recommended a psychiatric service dog and after some searching Boyd found a companion that will change her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found Kingston 4 Paws Academy and they have been absolutely amazing and I have been matched with Harley now,â&#x20AC;? explained Boyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am noticing a difference with Harley already. Whenever I see her I am just over the moon.â&#x20AC;? Kingston 4 Paws Academy trains and provides special skill service dogs trained for autism, seizures, PTSD, and mobility issues in Kingston and the surrounding areas. Boyd, who has been matched with a seven-month-old chocolate lab named Harley, will work with the dog over the coming months and the dog will learn specialized com-

Boyd who also added that service dogs can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I found out about that I started a charity called One Dog Two Lives. Once I raise enough funds for my service dog Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to continue to raise money for others who need service dogs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to become a registered charity and continue raising funds.â&#x20AC;? The cost associated with the dogs comes from training, vet bills, food and salary for the trainers. Boyd knows that raising the funds wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy, but she is determined to help people in her situation get the assistance they need.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that mental health is something that is still taboo. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about it. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run around the mall telling everyone that you have anxiety disorder without making people uncomfortable. I am working on trying to make it something that is less taboo and really just raising awareness. I also want to raise awareness about service dogs, too.â&#x20AC;? Grace will help train Harley until Dec. 1, when the dog will officially become her companion. Harley will go to school with her and will accompany her wherever she goes, something that Grace is looking forward to

every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as I found out that I was matched with Harley I started a countdown on my website and every time I feel anxious now I go to the page and see how many days I have left until she is with me and even that makes me feel better. I really look forward to it.â&#x20AC;?

mands to help her with her anxiety and OCD. The dog is trained to sense when Boyd may have an anxiety attack and will immediately stop and look at her to calm her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, with my OCD, one of the things I do is crack every bone in my body so Harley will be trained with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go visitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; command and that will mean she will jump up beside me and put her head on my lap. We are hoping that will provide a distraction and will help me,â&#x20AC;? added Boyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many commands that we can teach her. It is really amazing.â&#x20AC;? While Boyd is happy to be working with Harley now, the process was a little more difficult than she expected. Upon learning about psychiatric service dogs, she did research on the internet to find one. Many providers had lengthy waiting lists and some wanted the cash for the dog up front. Boyd and her family were ecstatic to find Kingston 4 Paws Academy and even more excited to learn that the dog would be provided for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a lot of fundraising with Kingston 4 Paws, but everyone who needs a dog gets it for free,â&#x20AC;? explained

Painting the town red...and every other colour Columnist

Gazette Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; From September 12â&#x20AC;&#x201C;14, artists will gather in Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Barriefield Village as part of the International Plein Air Paintersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11th Worldwide Paint Out. This will be the second year that the Kingston School of Art has hosted an event as participants in the international festivities. Last year, artists focused on the Williamsville area of Kingston. During the Paint Out, you can follow in the footsteps of impressionist painters like Monet and Renoir or the Canadian Group of Seven. En plein air is a French expression meaning in the open air. It refers to painting outdoors in the fresh air. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also known as peinture sur le motif (painting on the ground). The method of painting on-site outdoors became popular in the 19th century after paint became available in tubes. At the same time, field easels became readily available. Also known as box easels, they were portable and folded up into a box about the size of a briefcase. Easily carried,

artists could travel and work in the countryside or anywhere they chose. The methods and techniques of plein air painting remain popular in the 21st century. Artists can meet other artists during the Paint the Town event. Non-artists will have an opportunity to see artists in action. Artists bring their own materials and can choose to set up their easels in any public space in Barriefield. The residents of 12 homes in Barriefield have offered to open their gardens to

artists registered in the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to encourage people to go out and sketch outdoors,â&#x20AC;? said Barb Carr, a board member of the Kingston School of Art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started this last year, we thought it would be cool to be part of this international event. We want to focus on a different area of Kingston each year. Last year, we tied it into the revitalization of Williamsville. This year is Barriefieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200th anniversary. Maybe next year it could be tied in

with Sir John A. Macdonald celebrations.â&#x20AC;? The organizers said that the Kingston Arts Council was helpful in getting the first project off the ground last year and launching it again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really grateful for the support of the Kingston Arts Council,â&#x20AC;? said Carr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a way of encouraging a

Painting the town red...and every other colour “Last year we had a wide variety of ages involved, from young students to Queen’s students and older artists, all with a variety of abilities,” said Primrose Craig, the President of the Board of Direc-

tors of the Kingston School of Art. “There is no requirement in terms of skill level.” Participants are asked to bring bagged lunches. “We’re renting the hall from St. Mark’s Church for the three days,” said Carr. “Washrooms and a break

On Friday morning, there will be a coffee and muffin reception at the church hall, along with an introduction to Barriefield Village and the weekend schedule. Then the artists go to work from 9:30 until 4 p.m. On Saturday, artists can begin their work in the morning at 9:30 and continue until 4 p.m. Sunday’s creative efforts run from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. when there will be a wine and cheese reception for the participants, who will be able to informally display their work in the church hall.

Nature makes it more challenging.” Carr explained that the event is hosted in association with the Barriefield Village Association. “People can wander the village and watch the painters,” she said. “Walking tours around Barriefield, similar to the ones held on our 200th anniversary weekend, will be offered.” Artists who would like to register can download the form online at the Kingston School of Art website. The Kingston School of Art has operated since 1995. “It was formed by the St. Lawrence College faculty who had lost their jobs after the Fine Arts program was cancelled in 1994,” said Carr. “The school offers classes to all ages. It’s a non-profit organization and is volunteer run.” Three years ago, the school expanded and added an exhibition space, The Window Art Gallery. The Kingston School of Art is located at 647a Princess Street. For more information about the school, visit www.ksao.info or call 613-549-1528.

ister. The public is free to observe the artists at work. In December, the Window Gallery of the Kingston School of Art will host an exhibition of the artists’ work from the International Plein Air Painters’ 11th Worldwide Paint Out. Although plein air is typically associated with painting and sketching, Spaulding said that visual artists who work in any creative media should consider themselves welcome. “Someone did collage last year,” said Carr. Craig added that it would be interesting if someone decided to do a sculpture. “Barriefield offers a fabulous opportunity for plein air painting,” said Carr. “From the Barriefield Rock Garden to the school museum, the waterfront and St. Mark’s Church, there are many opportunities. Also, there are some lovely vistas looking over Kingston.” “Historically, plein air was popular in mid-19th century Canada,” said Spaulding. “The Group of Seven are our most famous plein air artists. I find for myself that painting and sketching outdoors brings me that much closer to nature and I notice more when I sit there painting.

best restaurants. The chef shares info about what’s in season, how to pick the best products and demonstrates a simple local food recipe that you can make at home.” The best part: each demonstration features the farmer who produced the food. They share some of their growing secrets and talk about their farm. Many vendors produce over 80 per cent (or more) of what they sell. Enjoy wares from Edible Earth, Fosterholm Farms, Haven Hills Acres, Honey Wagon Farms, Patchwork Gardens, Ravensfield Farm, The Frugal Farm, The Kitchen Garden and Wilson Apiaries, to name a few. These demos have already featured over eight local chefs throughout the summer, with two more to end the season. Don’t miss the last two demos with tips and recipes from Eric Brennan of Le Chien Noir (Aug. 23) and Sam Eddahi of Windmills (Aug. 30). Samples cost $2 and you can buy all of the ingredients from the market following the demonstration. Based on words discovered on a vintage poster, this expresses my thoughts on food. Others who

Gazette Lifestyle –Eating locally-grown food is important. It’s fresher, and there is no argument that it tastes better. Food loses its color and flavor after storage, and long-term sustainability is built around awareness and sourcing products locally. In 2008, the Downtown Kingston Business Improvement Association (BIA) and the City of Kingston, along with other concerned organizations, began a project called Local Food, Local Chef’s, an initiative to help grow the local food economy and spread the word about the region’s fantastic culinary experience. Today, if you see a chef’s hat with the word “Local” in the window of a restaurant, you can be sure of something tasty inside. Over 100 restaurants in downtown Kingston, all within in a nine-block radius of one another, offer a variety of dishes featuring local farm-to-table food. Since 1801, the Kingston Public Market vendors have offered fresh, local

food every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Restaurant chefs regularly stroll the market for seasonal food finds. These chefs know the best produce is freshly picked just hours before it’s cooked. After refueling with a cup-ofjoe, the market is a great place to wander on any given Saturday. I select flowers (just ‘cause), garden herbs, cheese (who has time to make cheese?), baking (I often lack the time to make my own). With all my little bundles in hand, suddenly I become overwhelmed about what to cook for dinner. However, it all just got easier, now that the market is featuring free cooking demonstrations from local chefs, every Saturday from 11 a.m. until noon. I no longer feel lost amongst my pickings. “Downtown Kingston cooking demos are all about Kingston’s best chefs coming together with local producers to share knowledge and passion for local food with the public,” said Jan MacDonald, Projects Manager Marketing at Downtown Kingston. “Each Saturday, we feature a different chef from one of Kingston’s

The Mutt Hutt offers a new way to bathe your animal By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nobody likes bathing their dog. Whether they are big or small, bath time is a challenge and you generally end up with dog hair all over yourself and the bathroom. Luckily, Wendy Workman has a solution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to create a spa but for pets, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;spawâ&#x20AC;?, if you will, but I also wanted to make it easy and cost-effective for the owners,â&#x20AC;? explained Workman, owner of the Mutt Hutt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is a do-it-yourself dog wash or pet wash. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it in other cities, but they are generally connected to a DIY car wash station...I wanted to take that a step

further and make it more personal and welcoming.â&#x20AC;? The result is a centre with a boutique in the front, multiple pet washing stations throughout and a community room in the back. Owners are invited to bring their pets into the facility, no appointment necessary, and use one of four washing stations. Each station is spacious and has a spot to harness your animal during cleaning. Workman provides shampoo, conditioner, temperature controlled water, a blower and towels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything

you need to bath your animal,â&#x20AC;? added Workman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sanitize each tub after every use and we use the same cleaning materials you would see in a vet office so clients can be assured that the tub they are using is clean each time.â&#x20AC;? The shop has been in the works for many years and Workman couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier with the end result. She originally came up with the idea when she took

her dog Jenna to be bathed at a groomer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so hard to wash your dog at home and you can take your dog to a groomer, but if they just need a bath that can be a bit expensive,â&#x20AC;? explained Workman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea of locking the dog up after the bath or grooming.â&#x20AC;? Workman hopes that the Mutt Hutt will be the alternative that many pet

owners are looking for and she invites all pet owners to come try out the facility, not just dog owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had someone call about their pot belly pig and quite a few cat owners have called too. Any animal is welcome and we even have a room that can be closed off for pets that may not like other animals or people,â&#x20AC;? explained Workman. The shop will also be home to Life Stream Animal Blood Bank which is owned and operated by Sandra Powell. She hopes that the traffic in the shop will help her business too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life Stream collects blood from donor dogs and then we send it to vets for transfusions, surgeries, cancer treatments and treatment of blood disorders in pets,â&#x20AC;? explained Powell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been operating for the past 10 years but I hope that being in this spot will help generate even more awareness.â&#x20AC;? Workman also hopes to work with a groomer in the future, but for now she is just happy to have her doors open to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animals are my passion and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to open a business like this for the past 25 years and I am ecstatic that it is finally happening, although it makes me a bit nervous too. I hope the community loves it as much as I do.â&#x20AC;? The Mutt Hutt is located at 541 Days Road, Unit 9. For more information go to www.themutthutt.ca or call 613.507. MUTT (6888)

perfect Anne Shirley. “We’re just looking for that person who has that right amount of spunk and wit and obviously who can sing and maybe do a little bit of dancing,” Penny says. “She needs to be passionate about life and capable of imagining things, like Anne.” Originally, the company was going to audition people from the age of 12 and up, seeing as Anne is 12 in the book, but the age range has been extended to eight and up due to a large amount of interest.

The classic Don Herron musical, based on the book by Lucy Maud Montgomery, is currently in its 50th consecutive year of running in Charlottetown, PEI. It contains wellknown songs such as Ice Cream and Kindred Spirits. Of course, there are more roles to fill than just that of Anne. “It’s probably Canada’s best loved show because it is the story of a town,” Penny explains. “And so there’s an opportunity to have the store clerk, the teacher, the local gossip and all of the kids in the school. There’s a role for everybody.” Men and boys are also encouraged to come try out. “Anne needs her Gilbert, and there are lots of roles for kids and teens,” Penny adds. She encourages anyone who loves performing to attend the auditions. “You could be that person who likes to sing in the shower or sing in the car and we’re the community theatre group for you. It could be your first time on stage or you could have done any number of different productions in town and you just want to do another one. It’s a great opportunity for you to come out and be in a community theatre production.” Auditions take place Aug. 25 and

26 at the Bay Park Baptist Church at 775 Progress Avenue from 6:30 9:30 p.m. “We do a cappella auditions, so we don’t have piano accompaniment or anything,” Penny explains. “If you’re nervous about the audition, you shouldn’t be. Just pick something that you absolutely love to sing.

We’re a super friendly organization. Just come and sing a little bit and then we’ll just chat in the audition.” The show itself will be directed by Aerin Kemp, and will run Nov. 20 30 at the Octave Theatre. Rehearsals are set to begin Sept. 3. To learn more about the Meistersingers, visit www.meistersingers.ca.

Sharon, Marion and Terry. A special moment came when local resident Dr. George Merry (retired) spoke of his longstanding friendship with Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim was not only a great hunter and fisherman,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He showed me how. He coached me.He was a man who fought for all the things that are good on the island, the medical clinic, the ambulance, the fire hall. He was a great friend and I miss him.â&#x20AC;? A reception was held in the library following the dedication where posters of Reeve Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sheaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and times were displayed for the public along with pictures and awards. Sharon Hogan is branch librarian. The library is a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw away from the former home of the late Reeve Timmie and his beloved wife Marion. Was it REALLY a Shark? EMC news-Four guys from Bell Media turned up at Wolfe Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Town Hall recently to meet with Frontenac Islands Mayor Dennis Doyle. Their purpose to determine how the mayor and islanders felt about a shark in Lake Ontario and a sighting of one off the shores of Wolfe Island. This is where it all started,â&#x20AC;? Teddy Wilson one of the team said. â&#x20AC;?It was just a bit of fun to launch Discovery Channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shark series.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Teddy Wilson, as it turns out, is the host of In Search of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rogue Shark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very suspicious, Mayor Doyle responded â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it did look quite real on the tv footage.. Islanders thought it might be a Bull shark or a Sturgeon. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; A couple were reluctant to let kids swim for a day or so, but why would a shark end up here, and realized very quickly it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Doyle said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well said Wilson, â&#x20AC;&#x153; the shark in the video was not real . We are here to thank you and Wolfe Islanders for being such good sports and to present you with Sharky, the rubber Shark,â&#x20AC;? he said as he handed over the shark to the mayor. Accompanying Wilson to the island: Mike McKenna, Associate Director, Bell Media Original Video;Travis Wood, Producer, Bell Media Original Video; Cosimo Prochilo, Manager, Bell Media Brand Partnerships. The video of the life-like prosthetic model shark â&#x20AC;&#x153;spottedâ&#x20AC;? in Lake Ontario was in fact, the first step of a multilevel marketing campaign for the Nissan Rogue, the sponsor of SHARK WEEK on Discovery Canada. The widely circulated TV news video of the shark sighting certainly was a topic for discussion at the WIPP, a popular local island restaurant for a number of days and confirms that islanders like most Canadians can become quite excited about sharks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sparkyâ&#x20AC;? is available for viewing at the WI Town Hall.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, August 21, 2014

Pickling and preserving time a busy time for Mary and family Gazette Lifestyle - The air was heavy in the summer kitchen. Spices, boiling sugar, and sealers in a pot of hot water, filled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand. It was pickling and preserving

time on the farm in Renfrew County. The swinging shelf, in the dugout that served as our cellar, was just about bare, and what Mother was ‘putting down’ would see us through the winter at least, and hopefully until the next crop of produce was ready for picking. The summer had been good to our garden. Soft rainy days, hot sun, and cool evenings guaranteed a goodly crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherry trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into jams, jellies and preserves.

crops were so ample, that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Saturdays with her eggs, homemade butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us. My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden. As long as I was in on the action that was enough to satisfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the summer kitchen. “Putting down” was always like a miracle to me. Especially when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abundance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in another dish-pan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked. Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for ‘putting down’, and to leave the smaller ones which would grow into a good length before you knew it! I would put the dish-pan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean...not a handful at a time, but one bean after another! Then they

��

were laid out on a clean tea towel, and patted dry. Mother fed them into big sealers, poured on boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days...not one day, not three days, but two days. Mother said the timing was important, according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter. The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout. Pickling and preserving went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away. But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the Fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in

the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in a corner of the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork. There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fine, but we always had ample food to put on the table. Father, believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family. We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter, the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand. And when I saw that swinging shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact, we were very rich indeed! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Have a healthy and wholesome renovation with Living Rooms By Braden Dragomir Reporter

Gazette Business - Tucked neatly away, just off of Rideau Street on Cataraqui Street, is a business making splashes across the country. Living Rooms Ecological Living and Building is taking being healthy to heart. “We come at this from a trades background actually,” John Sinclair, who owns the store with his brother Michael. “We had a heritage finishing business in Oakville, where we’re from, so we started really using a lot of these building materials that we’re now selling here.” John and Michael Sinclair have product lines that wouldn’t be considered the norm, especially when it comes to their renovation and building materials. Living Rooms has a simple phi-

losophy and is guided by the brothers’ principles. Firstly, does it do any harm to people? Secondly, does it harm the environment? If it does, they won’t carry it. That means everything in the store is natural and completely chemical free. “In a lot of our products, you can grab the can and you can read the ingredients as you would a soup label at a grocery store,” says Michael. When John and Michael first opened Living Rooms, they knew there was a demand for chemical free products. Clients had concerns about things like off-gassing from paints and other finishes. In researching alternatives, the brothers found the first chemical free paint in California. That research has also never stopped. While they make an effort to source products locally, there are

also product lines from Europe and Asia that are much more environmentally conscious than what is available in North America. One of the most obvious products is a linseed oil paint they import from Sweden. “It’s probably the cleanest paint in the world,” says Michael. “It’s also being used in a lot of heritage jobs, so places like the Palace of Versailles in France, Holcombe Castle in England. I mean it’s basically the standard now of paints used in Europe.” While the price point may be higher, the paint can last up to 25 years before the area need to be repainted or refinished. It’s these durable and thoughtful products that really stand out to John and Michael. “We get people who come to us and say ‘have you seen this?’ or ‘Can you get this?’, or ‘this is something

that I found really worked for me,’ so we love having those relationships with people.” says John. “It’s something that’s really important to us, that sense of building a community around us.” Living Rooms does about half their business through their store, and the other half online, shipping products across the country. “Most of the things in the shop are unique to us, probably in Ontario, certainly in the Kingston area,” says Michael. “I think we are the furthest east in all of Canada of any store like this. So we often get orders from the east coast for all of this stuff.” While the business continues to grow, the brothers hold their values

close to their hearts. They were even surprised by a larger market of people they weren’t expecting. “We get a lot of people who come in with chemical sensitivities who just can’t use other products, they make them physically sick,” says John. “So it’s been amazing to see people like that. For the first time in a long time, or possibly ever in their life, they’re able to renovate.” Not only do the Sinclairs know a lot about their products, their trades background enables them to help customers through any project. To learn more about Living Rooms visit livingrooms.ws or stop by their store Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
