Community swinging into action to replace play structures at Loughborough Public School

As the season was just beginning and kids were heading outside to enjoy the summer weather, two of the play structures at Loughborough Public School unexpectedly disappeared. It was a surprising loss for the school property, which has been undergoing a revitalization project for the past couple of years, but the climbers were removed by the Limestone District School Board for safety reasons, according to those with the school’s parent council. Because the school board does not replace school play structures once they are removed, members of the parent council decided they needed to act quickly “We were informed that the playgrounds were going to pulled out in July, which didn’t give us much time to react,” said Jeff Peck, president of the Loughborough Public School Parent Council. “We very quickly consulted teachers, staff, administration and then, most importantly, the parents and the kids to find out what they wanted and what we could afford.” The parent council didn’t want to move too quickly, however, as they wanted to ensure they chose equipment that would be a good fit for the student body and community that use the grounds of Loughborough Public year-round. They presented parents and children with a variety of options to replace the structures that were once there, and worked with the school board to quickly get their selection approved and the first structure has already been ordered. The only thing left to do is ensure the structure can be paid for – and, with the help of the community, hopefully another structure can be ordered to fully replace the removed playground equipment. “It’s going to cost a lot of money,” Peck said, noting that the first structure comes with a price tag of over $46,000. “Because this was unexpected, it’s not as though we

Antique phone show brings a bit of history to community
Students from Loughborough Public School stand in the place one of two recently-removed play structures used to be on the schoolyard as the School's Parent Council members (L to R: Tina Marshall, co-chair, Lisa Nelder, secretary, and Jeff Peck, co-chair) look on. Tori Stafford/Metroland
had been fundraising for this for a while.” The parent council has pledged to cover $23,000 of the cost, allocating the $13,000 remaining from fundraising efforts the year before, and planning to raise the additional $10,000 through their hot lunch program and Family Fun Night in the coming school year. Now, the parent council is looking to the community to cover the remaining costs, and is hoping to raise enough to also purchase the second play struc-
ture, which will cost approximately $20,000. But the council is not just asking for donations. “We really want to make this into a community building project,” Peck said, explaining that the Parent Council already has a number of ideas for community events with fundraising components they hope to host throughout the school year.

planned some new events for the coming year, including a Loughborough Public School two kilometre Fun Run and a Parent Fun Night (a take on Family Fun Night, except for parents only). Additionally, the Council is hoping parents and kids will create their own fundraising efforts through bottle drives, bake sales, and any other fun ideas they dream up. They are also hoping local businesses and organizations will contribute to the cause since the school’s playground is used by so many people throughout South Frontenac. Charitable tax receipts will be offered to anyone who donates, and the council will also be creating a
donor recognition plaque on the schoolyard to acknowledge individual, classroom, business and event donations to replace the play equipment. Donors will be recognized under five categories: bronze ($100); silver ($250); gold ($500); platinum ($1,000); and diamond ($5,000). The Township of South Frontenac will be among the platinum donors, as South Frontenac Council voted to donate $1,000 to the cause at their meeting held on Tuesday, Sept. 5. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it certainly takes a community to raise two play structures that are sure to entertain area children this year and for years to come. Members of the parent council are
hoping to have the first structure in the ground “before the snow flies,” Peck said, but, more than that, they are hoping the community will use this as an opportunity to come together in an effort to make the playground better for all. “As you can imagine, this is not a Loughborough Public School climber we are talking about,” he said. “The whole Sydenham and South Frontenac community uses this space and the climbers, so we’re hoping this will be a community project.” To find out more, volunteer your time, or make a contribution to the project, contact Jeff Peck at peck. ja@kos.net, or call him at 613-8936459.
There is no denying Canada’s sesquicentennial – or 150th anniversary – has been a significant event this year, but with an eye to the future, South Frontenac Township is already thinking about the country’s bicentennial events that will be held 50 years from now. With that in mind, the Township is calling for the submission of items those in the community feel would be good to include in a community time capsule, to be opened in
50 years as Canada celebrates its 200th anniversary. Fittingly, The time capsule will be buried in Centennial Park in Harrowsmith later this year. The time capsule has been created by D.M. Welding of Inverary, and will be buried beneath a large rock. A plaque, provided by the Campbell Monument Company, will stand alongside the rock to mark the place the time capsule is buried for the next 50 years. And the Township is hoping the time capsule will offer those who unearth it a glimpse of what life and the community of South Frontenac were like in 2017. “This is a great way to engage the entire community for this milestone in our history,” said South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal. “In 50 years, the residents of South Frontenac will look back on this moment in time and see the spirit and sense of pride for our community.” The Township is suggesting items like newspaper clippings, local sports memorabilia, photographs, diaries, favourite recipes and similar items for submission. Items like USB sticks will be accepted, but the Township cautions that we are unaware of how technology might change in the future, so there is no way to know the saved data will be retrievable in 2067. Anything organic or that may erode (such as rubber, metal paperclips, staples or anything with an internal battery that cannot be removed) are discourage, and items that don’t meet preservation requirements will be returned to sender. Some of the items that have already been accepted for the time capsule project include letters from local students guessing what the world might be like in 2067,
as well as an aerial photo project happening at area schools to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. Additionally, Vandewal will include a letter to the future mayor of South Frontenac, as well as some items from the Canada Day and road rally celebrations that took place this year. When it comes to items Vandewal is hoping to see the community contribute, he suggests thinking outside the box. “I think it would be great to include some tax documents too so people can see what

kind of taxes we were paying in 2017,” he said with a laugh. “There are so many ideas for things that will be interesting for people to see in 50 years.” Items for the time capsule will be collected until Nov. 1 and can be dropped off at the Town Hall in Sydenham in the Recreation Department.

South Frontenac Council passes bylaw to allow outdoor solid fuel burning appliances BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

After some debate around the horseshoe, South Frontenac Council agreed to pass a bylaw to regulate the installation and operation of outdoor solid fuel burning appliances in the township. At the council meeting held Tuesday, Sept. 5, staff provided council with updated possibilities for the bylaw, which has been in discussion for the past month. Over that month, a public meeting was held to take into account comments and suggestions from the public. The bylaw allows for outdoor solid fuel burning appliances (OSFBA) (furnaces) only in rural areas, as staff recommended taking a cautious approach to permitting such appliances in urban areas. British Columbia, the province that has been the leader in OSFBA promotion, only promotes the use of those appliances that ‘PM Certified’ by the CSA, and only in rural areas. Following BC’s lead, OSFBAs will not be allowed in villages, hamlets or subdivisions in South Frontenac. Councillor Alan Revill said he was pleased with all the work staff had done with regard to research and providing information and wording of the bylaw. All of council seemed to support the bylaw, with many councillors mentioning that it can be readdressed and altered moving forward. “I am in support of this bylaw,” said Councillor John McDougall. “We can certainly change it later when more information becomes available.” Township to recruit members for new Heritage Committee Council also approved the Her-
itage Committee Terms of Reference as prepared by staff, and directed staff to begin to recruit members for the new committee for their consideration. First discussed in April of this year, the creation of a new Heritage Committee for South Frontenac has involved a lot of public input, including a public open house and an online survey. Council learned that 82 per cent of the 22 responses to the online survey generated were in support of creating a Heritage Committee. Council had previously directed staff to create the terms of reference for the committee, and all councillors were in support of the documents provided by staff. “It’s important to note that this committee will be about celebrating our history,” Mayor Ron Vandewal said, noting that any heritage designation given out by the committee would be on a voluntary basis – the committee is not to place heritage designations on buildings in a way that makes it difficult for the property owner to continue their own upkeep of said property, but rather as more of a badge of honour. Councillor Brad Barbeau suggested it might be better to give the committee the power to say or do something should a building of significant historical importance be slated for demolition or the like. Forbes Symon, manager of development services for South Frontenac, explained that having the Heritage Committee will provide council with some options regarding that matter, including the ability to apply for a 60 day reprieve in instances where such buildings might be demolished or rebuilt in a way that would alter its historical significance. While that 60 day reprieve will not allow council to direct residents on what they can and cannot do with their properties, it will allow time for discussion with such property owners where options can be discussed and encouraged, Symon explained. Council voted unanimously to approve the terms
of reference and for staff to begin the recruiting process.

The air demonstration squadron visited Kingston on Sept. 9 and 10 as part of Garrison Family Fun Fest and they did not disappoint. Hundreds gathered at Confederation Basin to take in the show and watch as the Snowbirds and the specially painted Canada 150 CF-18 took to the sky for some acrobatics and entertainment. Mandy Marciniak/Metroland

United Way announces campaign goal of over $3.5 million for 2017 It’s that time of year again – time to support and contribute to the United Way’s annual fundraising campaign. At this year’s kick-off breakfast on Sept. 8 the organization announced the 2017 goal of $3,501,000 – an increase of $50,000 over last year’s goal. This year’s goal was announced in front of 500 community members, supporters and volunteers at the Ambas-
sador Conference Resort. Campaign chair Pat Murphy commented that this year’s goal “will really challenge and push the community again this year”. Last year, the annual fundraising campaign surpassed its goal, raising a record-breaking $3,702,100 to support 57 local programs. According to Murphy, those programs supported 55,000 people in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington area. This year’s campaign runs for 12 weeks, until Nov. 30, and
Murphy emphasized the need to grow community awareness. “Although we focus on a 12 week campaign, the United Way never sleeps,” he said. “I challenge everyone in this room to create awareness for this United Way in 2017, September, October and November. This is our time to shine and get the message out.” The campaign is already off to a great start and Murphy shared that with workplace campaigns, 17 per cent of the campaign goal has already been
raised. He hopes that the momentum will continue and he asked those in attendance to remember three words as they left. “The most important message for me this morning and at the end of the day...– every dollar counts – remember those three words for the next three months.” To find out more about the United Way KFL&A and how to donate, visit their website at www.unitedwaykfla.ca

EDITORIAL On car crashes, misogynists and online commenters in the year 2017
These days, it seems like readers are almost as apt to comment on how news is reported on as the actual news itself. Case in point: some guy sent me an email in response to a story I did with Cris Vilela about how people were upset that a sign reading “daughter drop off� was hung in front of a Queen’s student residence. It (the email) read: “Dollars to doughnuts the protest was not only reported on by, but orchestrated by gender studies grads working in the local media.� For the record, neither of us is, in fact, a gender studies grad. But even if we were, that wouldn’t change the fact that this is something that happened in our city; not only did it cause quite a stir, but it’s also something that’s clearly reflective of a larger issue that many people feel needs to be addressed. (Again, said email is case in point.) My husband is of the opinion that these troll-like, pro-“men’s rights� style comments, along with many extreme right wing/white supremacist social media accounts, are the product Vladimir Putin’s people, who are trying to disrupt the order of western society by making certain white dudes already inclined to this sort of behaviour feel like it’s OK to be terrible, racist, misogynistic pigs. I’m not sure to what extent, exactly, Russia is to blame — but I am sure that in the current political climate (led by the election of Donald Trump last year) these types are emboldened, and the “dishonest� media with our pesky facts is one of the their prime targets. Admittedly, I do let these people get under my skin sometimes — whether I’m personally the target or not. But
over the past year or so, as such comments have indeed become increasingly common, I’ve become better at putting them in perspective. The reality is that being on the receiving end of this kind of commentary comes with the job, and if our work never evoked the wrath of the odd crazy person, we’d probably be doing something wrong. There is another kind of commentary, though, which I’ve also noticed is on the rise that’s actually quite surprising given what I know about the kinds of stories readers will click on. In this business, we have an expression that goes “if it bleeds it leads� — essentially, that’s because as much as everyone likes to say they love reading good news stories, they’re actually far, far more likely to click on a story about a terrible crime or motor vehicle collision. (Yes, I have a ton of data to back up this claim, which I obsessively comb through every single day.) So, like every other news outlet in the world, we do our best to cover this kind of thing, especially online (at KingstonRegion.com). Lately, for whatever reason, such stories have received quite a bit of negative backlash on social media because folks find the collision images upsetting. The recent shattered motorcycle at Highways 2 and 15 is one such instance, along with last week’s fatal Highway 401 collision involving a transport. To be perfectly honest, I don’t love covering this kind of thing. I’m a pretty sensitive person and taking and
publishing pictures of scenes where people were seriously hurt or killed is one of my least favourite aspects of my job. I would much, much rather write a nice story about, say, Kingstonians biking across Canada to help kids with cancer, which will get about .001 per cent of the collision-scene clicks. But, that doesn’t change the fact that sometimes upsetting things happen. As journalists, it is not our job to shield the public from facts and events that take place just because they are upsetting. Of course, we use discretion, and everyone’s threshold is different. If a car/truck/motorcycle involved in a bad wreck is identifiable, for instance, I try to wait until the victim’s next of kin has been notified before publishing a photo. I also chose not to run a photo I took at the motorcycle crash scene that had the victim’s helmet in the foreground. Ultimately, though, if we don’t publish photos of a car crash, some other news outlet will. Or Joe Schmo on Facebook who just happened to be driving by. So why doesn’t everyone who complains about these photos click on ten good news articles to show their support for those stories? You’ll find a ton of them on our website. As for the feminist-hating commenters? Hit me with your best shot. Because using terms like “gender studies grad� as an insult says way more about you than it does about me.
In Our Opinion
Celebrate science during literacy week This month Canadians are being asked to think more about science and recognize the accomplishments of scientists and the science community. It is all part of Science Literacy Week, Sept. 18 to 24 and it may be easier than you think. The week was created by Jesse Hildebrand, a self-professed lifelong nerd and graduate from the University of Toronto and Open University in Science and Society. The goal of the week is to “showcase the excellence and diversity of Canadian science and to show how exciting science is. Be it as simple as a science-themed book display encouraging people to read something a little different to multi-day events, the week offers something for everyone.� Last year, the week inspired 500 events put on by 140 partners in 60 cities coast to coast and the hope is that the event can reach even more people this year. So why is science so important? It is important to learn about the world around us and the things we interact with on a daily basis and not just observe them and take them for granted. Science has given us the technologies we use everyday and we should at least take the time to learn a bit more about them. In Kingston, a number of events have been organized through the Kingston, Frontenac Public Library and community members are encouraged to embrace and learn more about science throughout the week. Perhaps that could include a trip to a museum or a dark sky viewing area or even a trip to the library to find a book about sicence. Whatever you do, just remember the importance of science and where we would be – or not be – without it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Time to make mandatory installation of electric charging stations in gas stations In 1898, in the first Urban Planning International Conference in New York, nobody talked about air pollution and traffic in urban areas. Instead, participants were concerned about horse manure that was polluting large cities in Europe and the United States,

large cities, as it attracted a huge amount of insects and created a variety of diseases for the population. In 1908, Henry Ford built the first Model T car, which was affordable, clean and fast. It took only four years for the new vehicle,
powered by fossil fuel, to replace carriages and 100,000 horses in New York and solve big issues facing the urban population. This big change, occurring in a matter of a few years, had not been imaginable for those working in the carriage industry, the
business of producing and selling horses, and the people who used horses and carriages for transportation.

Today, our environmental challenges and the trend of events in the transportation industry are similar to the beginning of the 20th century. The threat of climate change is unprecedented. Glaciers are melting faster than predicted and sea levels are rising accordingly. Areas of the world (such as the Middle East and California) are suffering from severe droughts while other areas (such as several East Asian countries) are experiencing severe flooding. Forest fires have become daily news in the media. Health issues and the spread of disease caused by air pollution are killing millions of people a year around the world. At the same time, we have the fast-expanding production of electrical vehicles that can end the use of fossil
fuels in transportation in a period of time shorter than we can imagine, similar to the way that Ford’s Model T made the use of horse drawn carriages obsolete. The best example is the production of the Tesla 3, which was announced last year, with 500,000 of them having been sold so far. The level of enthusiasm shown by people for the Tesla 3 has encouraged other car manufacturers to follow suit. Volvo has announced that it will stop producing fossil fuel vehicles by 2019. Seventeen German vehicular companies have formed a consortium with the support of the government to build a large manufacturing company to produce lithium batteries, which will help them to compete with Tesla's electric vehicles. Hyundai has also announced that it will build electric vehicles that can be driven for 500 ki-
lometers per charge by 2021. It is time that the installation of electric charging stations becomes mandatory in gas stations around the country, in an reasonable time frame. This move will considerably boost the sale and use of electric vehicles in our country. Note that in 2015, greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector was the second highest source of pollution (26 per cent) in Canada, following emissions by the oil and gas sector. Mahmood Rowghani, Kingston Graduate architect and urban planner

For the past three years, the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) has put together a team and this year, they are on track to be the leaders in fundraising pledges. “It is fun for us, but we have a real connection too,” said Lisa Callahan, a member of CCTG Trailblazers. “You see the impact that the research has on patients by working here, and being able to support that in any way possible is so important.” The CCTG is a co-operative oncology group which carries out clinical trials in cancer therapy, supportive care, and prevention across Canada and internationally. They are located here in Kingston and they benefit directly from the research funds raised through the CCS. “We see the direct impact these funds have on patients and research, and that really motivates us to participate,” said Callahan. “Plus, it is a lot of fun — who doesn’t love playing in the mud?” Many of the participants in Mudmoiselle have also taken part in Relay for Life and while they are both fundraisers for the CCS, the similarities stop there, according to Andrews. “I’ve been involved with Relay for Life for eight years and I wanted to give something else a try,” she said. “It is a really creative way to get women involved and while Relay is a family event, this is not and it feels different. We can also relieve stress and it is a great team-building exercise too.” She encourages more women to give it a try and also emphasizes that training is not necessary at all. “I don’t personally train for it and I think half the fun is struggling a bit,” she said. “It is just a great event and so important in terms of research funds.” Mudmoiselle takes place on Sept. 16 at 1745 Woodbine Rd.

When Matt Jennings answered an online wanted ad looking for phone repair workers a few years ago, he was sure he’d be fixing cellphones. But when he showed up, he was surprised to see a warehouse filled with antique phones. “I was surprised and I didn’t even know there
was a market for this at all,” he said. “I took the job and started off shipping and receiving and parts picking, and then I slowly moved up.” Jennings is now the manager of Old Phone Works in Kingston and he loves seeing all the old phones that come into the shop and leave each day.

“We purchase the phones in large quantities at auction and then we refurbish them,” he explained. “There is interest for these pieces and they are really a part of history.” Many customers are interested in the phones because of the nostalgia, but Jennings also sees people using them as decorative pieces. “Maybe their parents had the phone back in the '50s or '60s and they are trying to recreate those memories,” said Jennings. “Other people see the amount of work put into them and they become a bit of a decorating choice in a room and an anchor too.” All of the phones sold by Old Phone Works are also fully functional and while people are moving away from traditional land lines, Jennings and his team can still make the phones work with newer technology. “Traditionally, these phones will not work with Internetbased lines — you can receive calls and it will ring, but it will not dial out. We do have a fix for that and it is a pulseto-tone converter that we can install in the phone on the line cord,” he explained. “The phones can work on any line with that.” In addition to customers purchasing phones for nostalgia or decoration, Jennings also works with movies to supply phones needed as props. “We get a lot of calls for that and in most cases they just

purchase what they need, but we also rent phones.” Jennings admits that the market for these phones is pretty niche and just like antiques, those who are interested tend to be a bit older, but he is hoping that can change. On Sept. 16, Old Phone Works is hosting the 2017 Antique Telephone Show and Sale in Amherstview and Jennings is encouraging people of all ages to come and check it out. “If people are interested in antiques, then the show is appealing and it is also great for kids too,” he said. “Kids can come and see what phones used to be like and they can play with them and touch them as much as they want — FAMILY we run a restoration shop so if they get damaged, it isn’t a OWNED big deal at all.” • Jennings never thought OVER he would be so passionate about phone restoration and he hopes that if people come and check out the show, they YEARS may also see the appeal. “People may find something they like and it might spark an interest to learn more,” he said. “It just takes
someone to come by and check it out and have an interest and even if we can just get a couple people interested, then the show is worth it for us.” The 2017 Antique Telephone Show and Sale takes place on Sept. 16 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Amherstview Community Hall, 177 Upper Park Rd.

Local astronomer hosts science literacy talk about life on other planets BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com
Are we alone in the universe? That is the question local astronomer Frank Hitchens hopes to explore during his talk at the Isabel Turner Library on Sept. 19. Hitchens will be speaking as part of Science Literacy Week, which runs from Sept. 18 to 24, and in his opinion, we could all use a bit more literacy when it comes to science. “The purpose of the week is to try to engage people in the wonders and discoveries of science and get across just how important it is,” he said.
“We live in a very technological world where people use gadgets every day and nobody has any understanding of how they work, and that can be a dangerous thing.” For his own scientific interest, Hitchens, who lives in Perth, has been pursuing astronomy for as long as he can remember and in recent years he has become more and more interested in life on other planets. “When I go out and look at the night sky and see all the stars that are just visible to the naked eye, I find it impossible to believe that this tiny little blue dot of ours is the only place in all of the cosmos where there are living things,” he said.
Take the time to drop by your local Princess Auto or shop online at
In his talk, Hitchens will explain what is being done to help answer the question "are we alone?". “We have found some very intriguing places in our solar system that look like they may harbour life and we are also operating radio telescopes
that are looking to pick up any radio signals that might be sent our way by civilizations that are going on around other stars,” he explained. Continued on page 15

“We are really excited about this and it looks like we might actually have some success in finding life off of Earth in the next couple of decades or so.” For Hitchens and so many others, the discovery of life or even microbial life off of earth would be amazing. “It would be one of the biggest and most significant discoveries in the history of science,” he said. “It would be so significant.” But if that isn’t the case any time soon, he is happy to just see where science takes us. “Every time we do send a mission to another world, it teaches us something about Earth and it
teaches us about our environment, and that is pretty important information to have too.” Hitchens hopes that his talk will be of interest to community members and he feels that there is an appetite for this type of research out there. “For anyone who has an inquisitive mind and has looked up to the night sky and wondered if we are all alone, this will give them a lot of background,” he said. “I hope that I will be able to engage people’s minds and give them more perspective and more to think about after they leave." Hitchens will be speaking at the Isabel Turner Library on Tuesday Sept. 19 at 7 p.m.

2017–2019 RECYCLING CALENDAR
The Township has attempted a more environmentally sustainable approach, rather than direct mail, in distributing the next 2 year Recycling Calendar. The Frontenac News delivered the 2017-2019 Recycle Calendar, as an insert, in its August 24th edition which included Storrington area residents. The Calendar is always available in a PDF format on our website to download to your desktop or print a copy for your fridge. Copies will be available at both Township offices. We hope that this environmentally friendly method of diversion encourages all residents to remain dedicated to their recycling efforts. It’s up to each one of us to make a difference.
RECYCLING SHREDDED PAPER
It has always been our mandate to only accept shredded paper in bags no larger than a regular sized grocery bag (not kitchen catchers or specially marketed shredded paper bags) and in a quantity of 3 small bags per paper week. Under direction from Kingston Area Recycling Centre, the smaller the bag of paper the less likelihood of contamination. If you have a large amount of shredded paper on a regular basis, South Frontenac residents can take the larger bags directly to KARC, at no cost, and personally debag them in specially marked bins.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT
Summer hours are in effect at the Depot - Open every Thursday from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm Please remember that accepted items are hazardous materials, small electronics and bale wrap only. A full listing of accepted materials may be found on our website under Living Here/Solid Waste/Recycling/Household Hazardous Waste.

Father was happy. It had been a good season, unlike most other years, and he was sure he was going to get a second cutting of hay. That meant the mow would be full, and he could be sure of lots of hay to see us through the winter. But it also meant he would be working alone, as my three brothers would all be back to school. Of course, there were still Saturdays, but during the week, Father would be out cutting hay, raking and stooking on his own, leaving the house long before any of us were awake. But the brothers were expected to do all the morning chores before they went off to school, that is, except for the milking, which was a chore my sister Audrey and my mother had to take over. All of this meant of course, that our whole routine changed in the mornings, all because Father was
getting a second cut of hay. And it didn’t mean, that even though I was so much younger, I’d get off scot free from the busy start to the day. School lunches had to be made the night before, but as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I was expected to get breakfast on the table. Of course, it would have been set out before I went to bed. Father would be long gone, so I didn’t have to worry about frying a pan of potatoes and salt pork. But I did have to make the porridge, and make sure the bread was sliced and ready to be put on the toaster rack that would sit on top of the stove where I would have removed one of the lids, allowing the bread to brown over the hot coals. As soon as everyone came in from the barn, I had to fly into action. The brothers changed their clothes, Mother and Audrey washed up, and I put four slices of bread on the toaster rack, and started to ladle out the porridge. A pot of eggs would be simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval, and I had placed an egg cup in front of each place. Every-
thing was in order. Well, it didn’t take long for Emerson to complain. The porridge was like glue, there wasn’t enough cream in the pitcher, and where was the brown sugar? I ran to the ice box and re-filled the pitcher, grabbed the brown sugar bowl out of the cupboard, and told him he could either eat the porridge or give it to Sport our old Collie dog waiting outside the summer kitchen for any scraps from the breakfast table. Well, that’s when all hell broke loose. I could smell the burning toast before I saw it. I ran to the stove, and saw the bread, white as the driven snow on the outside, and burnt to a crisp on the inside. Emerson got into a fit of laughing, because the rule in our house was that whoever burnt the toast had to eat it, as Mother continually reminded us of the starving Armenians. Emerson just about fell of his chair, reminding me about the rule of burning the toast, laughing his head off!
Because there truly is no place like home.

Kingston Fall Fair aims to attract and entertain newcomers BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com
The Kingston Fall Fair is celebrating its 187th year this September and while it may see a loyal number of fairgoers each year, organizers wanted to mix it up a bit this time around. “My new saying is ‘there is always something
new at the Kingston Fall Fair’ and that is what motivated me this year,” explained Yvonne Compton, president of the Kingston and District Agricultural Society, the hosts of the annual fair. This year’s fair will still include horse shows, demolition derbies, mainway rides, and games and vendors, but Compton and her volunteer team

have also worked hard to bring in new entertainment and activities. “When people come into the fair they will find lots of interesting things to do,” she said. “We are bringing in demonstrations for the Saturday and Sunday inside and we are hoping that will attract new people.” The demonstrations will include sheepshearing, wool-spinning, knitting and embroidery, and, in some cases, fairgoers will be able to take part too. “This is brand new and it keeps with the agricultural theme too,” said Compton. In terms of entertainment, the fair will host a
Moto-Cross Thrill Show this year Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. “It should be pretty exciting,” said Compton. “We’ve always had the demolition derbies, but this is a bit different and may attract new people.” Each year, the fair sees about 14,000 people throughout the weekend and while this number has been consistent over the years, Compton would like to see it grow. “I have heard for years from people and friends that there is nothing new at the fair and I am trying to fix that a bit,” she said. The fair is also working to incorporate new educational aspects too. “We will have a display by the soils and crops association to educate people about how our food is grown and how it is handled from the time it goes into the ground to when it is harvested,” said Compton. “We want to stick to the agricultural theme, but update it a bit too.” Compton hopes that Kingstonians respond well to the new additions and above all, she just hopes they have fun. “For the general fairgoer, it is so much fun to see the displays, have a candy apple, have some greasy food, and just enjoy yourself,” she said. “I think anyone who wants to come will be entertained and will have a good time.” The Kingston Fall Fair takes place from Sept. 14 to 17 at the Memorial Centre.

Mother grabbed the toast, took a knife, and scraped the burnt side furiously, slapped two pieces in front of Emerson, and told him to eat up or he’d be late for school. He knew better than to argue. Mother cracked an egg, dipped her burnt toast in the yolk, and spread jam on the other piece and ate up like eating burnt toast was an every day occurrence. The smell of burnt toast hung in the kitchen as we gathered our book bags and headed out the door for school. Mother’s parting words were for Emerson. “Not one word about the burnt toast or you just might be having some for your supper tonight.” Audrey looked at Emerson with slit eyes, a warning that he better take heed, as she would be reporting back to Mother. When we got home from school, everything was in order. The smell of burnt
toast was replaced with the aromas coming from the oven. Supper was ready, Father was washed up, but still showed signs of his long day in the hay field, with bits and pieces stuck in his hair. Not a word was said about the burnt toast, but when Mother’s back was turned, Emerson pretended he could smell it, turning his nose in the air, and sniffing, and then making the worst face, crossed his eyes, put a hand around his neck, and let his tongue hand out, as if he was going to choke to death. Mother, who we all said had eyes in the back of her head, walked to his chair, and cuffed him on the ear, a smack that could be heard in Douglas. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
