South Frontenac tweaks Official Plan concerning setbacks, condo plans By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — With very little discussion and a six-page bylaw, South Frontenac Council amended the Township Official Plan to address environmentally sensitive areas, plans of condominium and the ‘holding’ symbol at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Planner Lindsay Mills told Council “we were hung up on a couple small matters”

but with new wording, he was confident the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing would approve of the document that governs all development in South Frontenac Township. Perhaps the most significant part of the plan relates to condominium development, which now requires direct access to a public road, as opposed to a laneway. The full policy now reads as follows: “Plans of condominium shall be designed to

allow for the appropriate integration of the subject land with the adjacent lands. The subject land shall front onto a fully maintained public road and any newly created private lane on the subject land shall gain access directly from the public road.” The bylaw also firms up wording with respect to “environmentally sensitive areas,” designating all lands within 90 metres (295 feet) of the highwater mark of all lakes and rivers which are not desig-

nated Environmental Protection are now Environmentally Sensitive Areas. The policy now reads: “Where development and site alterations are proposed in Environmentally Sensitive Areas, it is the intent of this Official Plan that all buildings, campsites and structures not related to the use of the water and all sewage disposal system leaching beds be well set back from the highwater mark. “More specifically, a minimum setback of 30 metres

(98.4 feet) from the highwater mark shall apply but greater setbacks may be required depending on conditions specific to individual sites.” The amendments also include sections to deal with site plan control, “intended to be used to help minimize the impacts of development on neighbouring properties and waterbodies” including use of the ‘holding symbol’ whereby certain conditions must be met before the development can proceed.

H’art School raises the curtain on new fully-accessible performing arts studio campaign that just celebrated its completion. “There is no space that is fully accessible for artists with disabilities in this city. In fact, the Grand Theatre’s stage is not accessible to people in wheelchairs, nor can [the Grand] accommodate any artist with a disability for change rooms or washrooms,” Porter said. With the help of Kincore Holdings Ltd., a fullyaccessible performing arts studio now exists within the school’s home at 237 Wellington St. The company made available additional space at the location and has generously offered rent relief for the next five years. In addition, thanks to the help of Kim Donovan, president of Kincore and the chair of H’art School’s capital campaign, $60,000 was raised to help convert the space into the performing arts studio. “All the parts and pieces came together very quickly,” Porter said. This new space, called “The Box”, means that all of H’art School’s programming is now under one roof. Prior to The Box’s creation, students were re-

EMC News – Inspiration can sometimes be found during times of adversity. Such was the case for the H’art School of Smiles. It was 2011. H’art School was preparing to host its first-ever Able Artists Forum but was struggling to find a suitable location to host this annual event, which features professional artists with disability who share their stories and work with members of the local community. The organization eventually settled on Sydenham United Church as its venue. Nearly 700 people attended. “While the church was the perfect venue in a lot of ways, it lacked space for the wheelchair dancers,” executive director Katherine Porter recalled. This struggle to find an available, affordable and accessible public venue to host 2011 Able Artists Forum served as the catalyst for the creation of a capital campaign to create a fullyaccessible, mixed-ability performing arts studio in the City of Kingston, a

quired to attend off-site locations for some classes. Now, with the help of another $33,500 courtesy of the Kingston Arts Council and Ministry of Health Promotion, professional arts instructors will come to them. H’art School was able to hire professional theatre director Kathryn MacKay, composer David Archibald and dance educator Melissa Mahady Wilton to lead classes for its students. “Now we can pay for artists to come in and use the space and teach my students the fundamentals to develop their skills and appreciation of the arts,” Porter said. “The beauty of all this, The Box being here and the three new additional professional teachers, [is that] we’re a more expanded arts program that is helping develop potential in these individuals to where they may possibly be world famous for whatever kind of efforts they put out.” Next year, members of the community will have the opportunity to see the work of H’art School’s students on stage at The Grand Theatre.

working with MacKay, who is going to pull all the school’s disciplines together to create a unique hourlong performance that will take place April 17 and 18. In addition to serving as a classroom for students to develop their skills, and a stage for them to showcase their talents, The Box will also serve the wider community. Porter noted that in the New Year, H’art School intends to begin hosting workshops and open its doors to community groups in need of arts space. “We’re filling a big gap in the city,” she said, noting that H’art School is happy to offer use of The Box to other groups that work with people with disabilities. “There is a whole pile of organizations out there that are learning about the value of the arts in the lives of people who have some challenges, so it’s timely.” Potential community users of the space will soon be invited to submit letters of interest to H’art School. Details will be made available on the organization’s website, www.hartschool. com .

Raising Awareness on a sensitive issue By Mandy Marciniak EMC Correspondent

EMC News - October is Child Abuse Prevention Month, something that is extremely important to many communities across Canada, including Kingston. Nearly half of Ontarians (47 per cent) know someone who was exposed to or is the victim of child abuse or neglect. Steve Woodman, executive director of Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, is passionate about making people more aware of this issue and leading the charge to stop child abuse before it

starts. “We need to make people more aware of this issue and make them more capable of dealing with it. Recognition and awareness are key. People need to be more aware of the signs of child abuse and be able to act when they see something out of the ordinary,” said Woodman. While child abuse is a very sensitive subject, Family and Children’s Services work very hard to make the process of reporting and dealing with Child Abuse as easy as possible. The facility houses a number of trained professionals who deal with these issues every day, and in most cases

these issues can be resolved without causing much inconvenience to the child. “In about 90 per cent of cases we are able to resolve issues without taking children out of the home, which is the ideal for us,” added Woodman. The community is an extremely important component in dealing with child abuse as well. “There are many causes for child abuse, but there are also many ways to prevent it. By working together with our partners and the public we can help families before their problems turn into a crisis. That’s our goal – to stop child

abuse before it starts,” added discussion about solutions for Family and Children’s servicLimited offer! abuse a time priority,” said es and Child Abuse PrevenWoodman. “Everyone can child tion month visit their website help in terms of keeping chil- Woodman.

Seniors housing report meets mixed reviews By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — The County of Frontenac Seniors Community Housing Project final summary report came under fire from the Mayor of Frontenac Islands at the regular Frontenac County Council meeting last week in Glenburnie. “I think we’ve already spent too much time on this Road 38-centric concept,” said Coun. Denis Doyle, one of the two Frontenac Islands representatives on Council. “There is nothing in here about Marysville and I didn’t see much for North Frontenac either. “I suggest South and Central Frontenac just get together and decide what to do.” The plan, presented by Ken Foulds of Re/Fact Consulting and Ed Starr of SHS Consulting, recommends the County look at assisted/supportive housing models in some areas and home care models in the more remote areas of the County. With respect to Frontenac Islands, the report said: “Given the modest population and access limitations of ferry service from Kingston, there is limited potential for a small scale seniors housing development in Marysville. While adjacent, Howe Island is much less populated and has less direct access to Kingston proper. As such, it is not seen as a desirable location for a seniors’ project at this time.” As far as the assisted/ supportive models are concerned, the report singled out Sydenham, Vero-

na and Sharbot Lake (estimated populations of 730, 860 and 560 respectively) as potentially the best candidates. The report cited three potential “build models” ranging from building new facilities, to conversion/ renovation of existing facilities to the “Abbeyfield,” a model based on an eight-unit conversion or renovation of an existing building where rents include accommodation, food, and housekeeping services. “As such, monthly resident charges are higher than average market rents but are lower than typical full-service facilities,” the report said. Costing for the three models was estimated at $3.8 million for option 1, $2.1 million for option 2 and $1.3 million for option 3. The report singled out Sharbot Lake Public School, which has been deemed surplus by the school board with construction of the K-12 facility begun, as a potential site for an option 2 operation. However, the consultants admitted that they hadn’t really delved too deeply into what it would actually cost to renovate the building, which was deemed “prohibitive to repair” by the school board.

We’re off to a good start because of our hospitals.

Editorial

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

There’s simply no rush to renovate ‘surplus’ school buildings Craig Comment By Craig Bakay editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Editorial — There has been a lot of talk lately concerning the ‘surplus’ schoolhouses in Sharbot Lake and Parham. With the construction of the new K-12 facility in Sharbot Lake, that leaves Hinchinbrooke Public and Sharbot Lake Public Schools as big old empty buildings come the fall of 2013 (or whenever they actually get the new school up and running). Naturally, some people look at these “available” buildings as something that could potentially be bought and used for something else, such as seniors housing, or

recreational facilities, or office space for community services. Well, here’s some sound advice for anybody thinking that way — don’t. When the emotional dust clears and these old buildings settle into the cold hard light of day, there is a really important factor that must be kept in mind — the Limestone District School Board designated both of these buildings as “prohibitive to repair.” Now, whether that’s actually true or just rhetoric to justify the human desire to build something new is immaterial. The fact remains that these are old buildings with issues, probably less so in Parham than Sharbot Lake, but let’s face it, if Hinchinbrooke were in tiptop shape, would the school board be shutting it down? Now, this doesn’t mean these buildings couldn’t have a second life, just that any second life is going to cost, and in the case of Shar-

bot Lake, the cost would probably be a lot more than knocking it down and building something new. And just as an aside, Central Frontenac Township already has one big, draughty old school house it can’t really find a suitable use for in Mountain Grove. Do we really need more of them? In fairness, the two schools are really totally different situations, with the Parham facility probably having a far greater potential upside than the Sharbot Lake Building. For one thing, given the age that it was created, there’s a good chance there’s asbestos and other nasty things just waiting to be discovered in there and when you start to add things like accessibility laws and fire sprinkler systems (and that’s without heating the blasted place), it could cost a fortune just to get it to a stage where you could open the doors to the public, let alone do anything

useful in there. The Parham building is newer, but then new isn’t always a good thing. The materials used to build the place were probably the cheapest available at the time (anybody else noticed how twoby-fours have shrunk over the last 40 years?) given the rush to provide schools for the increased number of baby boomers. But here’s probably the biggest thing anybody wanting to use these buildings should keep in mind — there’s no rush. These buildings are the Limestone District School Board’s problem and the longer that situation goes on, the more the likelihood that they’ll be motivated to get rid of them at just about any price rises. If we really must have another old school to muck about with, at least wait until the school board decides the taxes aren’t worth it and is willing to part with them for a song.

In Our Opinion

Social media a doubleedged sword when it comes to bullying EMC Editorial – Last week, Canadians were introduced to Amanda Todd, a 15-year old who died by suicide on October 10. Just over a month before her death, Todd posted a video to YouTube in which she chronicled her experiences being harassed, bullied and blackmailed both online and at school. In the video, Todd holds up a series of flashcards to tell her story. Near the end of the series is a card that reads, “I have nobody...I need someone.” Todd’s video was undoubtedly a cry for help, but sadly that cry went unanswered. Her original YouTube video has been viewed more than five million times, though it’s difficult to know how many people watched it before Todd’s death. Bullying is not new, but there’s little doubt that social media has changed the type, tone and ferocity of bullying. What was once confined, for the most part, to the schoolyard playground can now happen 24 hours a day. For victims of bullying, it can be difficult if not impossible to escape the tormentors. The internet and social media contributed to Amanda Todd’s harassment. But they were also the tools she turned to when she needed help. When it comes to bullying, this is the flip side of social media; it can be the mechanism by which society learns what is happening and attempts to intervene. These days, we are bombarded by status updates, tweets, texts, blogs, videos, and check-ins. This is an era of information overload. But it’s up to all of us who use social media to recognize online bullying and harassment and to intervene, whether it means reporting the offender or reaching out to the victim. It’s hard not to think of what might have been if someone had seen Todd’s video and reached out to help her before it was too late. Todd may be gone, but her legacy lives on. Since her death, an NDP MP has called for a national antibullying strategy. Her mother has also set up a trust to raise funds for mental health awareness and bullying prevention. When it comes to bullying, we all have a role to play. Social media may make bullying easier, but it can also make it easier to stop bullying.

County Council looking at how long an ambulance lasts Reporter

EMC News — Just how long does an ambulance last? The answer to that seems to depend on whom you talk to but in Frontenac County, the answer could be anywhere from 4 ½ to six years. At its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie, Frontenac County Council heard a report from Treasurer Marion VanBruinessen that recommended amending the useful life of an ambulance to 4.5 years from the current six years. “Prior to 2004, funding was provided to the county to cover a share of the land ambulance costs based on a Ministry template,” the report said. “The template included an amortization schedule that estimated the useful life of ambulances at 4.5 years.

“Over subsequent years, after the County of Frontenac was chosen as designated delivery agent for land ambulance, an assessment of the fleet suggested that ambulances could reasonably be retained for six years without incurring additional service costs. “For that reason, the useful life of the vehicles was adjusted to six years in 2005 and reserve allocations were made on that basis.” However, some things have changed since then. For one thing, the report said, the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care’s Emergency Health Services Branch has identified that it will only fund the amortization of vehicles, not replacement cost. “The County will experience greater funding, estimated at about $52,000 annually, with the 4.5 year useful life as opposed to the

six-year useful life,” the report said. Also, different models of ambulance have come on stream. In 2005, the County was using Ford chassis ambulances with 7.3 litre diesel engines. However, in an effort to comply with U.S. emission standards, Ford moved to a 6.0 litre gasoline engine which never met expectations and was discontinued. The County moved to a gas engine on a GMC platform. Coun. Gary Davison said he remembered chief paramedic Paul Charbonneau “coming to Council wanting to replace units before 4 ½ years so we might have trouble keeping them more than 4 ½ years if that’s the number.” Coun. Bud Clayton agreed wanting the words “if required” added to any bylaw. Council deferred the matter until more concrete numbers could be obtained.

Coffee Break for a Cause By Mandy Marciniak EMC Correspondent

EMC Events - On Oct. 16, Fairmount Home longterm care facility hosted its annual Coffee Break to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer Society of Canada. This annual event is held each fall in different facilities across the country. In total, all of the events held last year helped raise over 1.2 million dollars for

the society. Alzheimer’s is a disease that currently affects over 500,000 Canadians and that number is expected to grow to 1.3 million in a generation. “We’ve been hosting the Coffee Break for the past 15 years and have been involved with the Alzheimer Society for about 17 years. It’s a great cause and a coffee break is a really fun event every year,� said Julie Shillington, administrator at

Fairmount Home. The event is put on by Fairmount Home’s programming staff and residents who also work at the event, “We have entertainment and the residents sell items that they’ve made and encourage people to make donations and enjoy some coffee, of course� said Shillington, “Volunteers are also a big part of making the day run smoothly and are an integral part to the Fairmount

Home in general.� This year, Don Norman, a regular entertainer at Fairmount Home, came and performed in the lobby, and residents sold jewelry, necklaces and rings that were made by a former staff member. The event was a success, once again, with many people joining in. “We don’t take attendance but the lobby was full all morning. We get a lot

of residents and volunteers and family members that attend. It’s really a lot of fun and we love seeing it so full and people enjoying themselves,� added Shillington. Last year, Faimount Home was able to raise $1,300 during their Coffee Break event, an amount that they hope to match and surpass this year. Any money that is raised locally stays local, so it will benefit the Kingston area specifically. The Fairmount Home also raises money, through similar events, for other charities including the Diabetes Association throughout the year. This event not only raises money for the Alzheimer Society, but it creates a little friendly competition amongstLUX-DealerAd-KingstonEMC.pdf the long-term care facilities in the area as well.

The Alzheimer Society gives a giant coffee cup to the facility that raises the most money as a sort of trophy. “We’ve had it since 2008 so we’re pretty proud of that and hopefully we will get to keep it again this year. It’s nice because it gives the residents something to aim for and a goal. The residents really enjoy getting involved with a challenge like this and it gives them something exciting to do that also benefits a worthy cause,� said Shillington, “This year they added retirement homes to the competition as well so we’re hoping we can keep the coffee cup and we raised enough money.� For more information on the Alzheimer’s Society Coffee Breaks visit their website at www.alzheimer1 10/19/12 10:40 AM coffeebreak.ca

ISLAND news

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Concern for ferry operator weighs heavily with islanders EMC news- Wolfe Islanders as well as residents of Cape Vincent, NY are in a state of shock and disbelief over the accident which occurred on the Horne’s Ferry near the Cape last week. The Horne’s ferry service located on Wolfe Island is owned and operated by brothers George and Bruce Horne. The accident involved a vehicle , empty at the time which, according to news reports, was left in the neutral position and rolled off the ferry. The crew’s quick action caught the vehicle with a rope and with the help of a Cape Vincent Seaway Pilot Boat got the ferry, still with power but with affected steering due to extra weight, to a marina on the Cape Vincent side. More concerned however is the closely knit Wolfe Island community over the condition of George Horne, Captain of the ferry, the MS William Darryl, who suffered what appeared to have been a serious heart attack on the ferry at some time during the accident and who was transported to Watertown’s Good Samarian medical center and later to Syracuse. According to blogs, emails, calls, news items etc residents and friends, relatives cottagers on both sides of the river, and frequent travellers are praying for George’s quick return to good health, to the island and to his ferry once again. Islanders are concerned also about the future of the ferry service so important for tourism, international travel and to the economies of both Wolfe Island and Cape Vincent. The Horne’s Ferry service is spoken of as an international link (with customs, immigration facilities , now known as Border Security Services, since its very beginning in 1802 ), between Canada and the United States. The Horne’s have invested heavily into providing the required facilities for the ongoing operation of the ferry service annually from May 1 to the end of October. A Horne has been at the helm of the service, which has seen many changes over the years, since its very beginning. George and Bruce joined their Uncle William Horne on the MS William Darrell in the 70’s following the death their father George Darrell Horne and have maintained the family’s heritage at Point Alexandria now known as Horne’s Point since then. The ferry resumes service May 1,2013. Marysville Community Improvement Plan Meeting Nov. 1st Frontenac County’s Peter Young will be hosting a public meeting about a Community

Improvement Plan for Wolfe Island’s ‘Marysville’ A CIP is a (Planning Act) tool used to stimulate development and community revitalization. Marysville with its commercial activity, pubic facilities, tourist appeal, and waterfront make it eligible for consideration According to Mayor Doyle the County has been working this CIP process for a few years and have done work in Verona, and are now in Sharbot Lake. “We lobbied for Marysville to be next on the CIP list, and there is money in the County budget already levied from the townships, for some work towards community improvement projects,” he said. (ie store’s front’s, accessibility, commercial building improvements, etc.) “The actual work would not start until at least next year, but there will be some pre-planning to be done to see if village merchants, and others are interested in participating. The way it normally works is the people who want to participate have to put up 50% of the cost of the improvements. We need to determine local interest.” Residents and business owners are encouraged to attend the meeting Thursday, November 1st, Sacred Heart Catholic School 6:30pm - 8:00pm to discuss their vision for the future of Marysville and if there are those interested in participating. Come prepared to shareyour vision on the future of Marysville and how to support economic development in the village.

Community service organizations report successful years to Council By Craig Bakay Reporter

EMC News — “Today’s presentation is nothing more than an update,” Southern Frontenac Community Services Director David Townsend said. Townsend and his counterpart from the north, Northern Frontenac Community Services Director Don Amos, were at Frontenac County Council’s regular meeting last week in Glenburnie. “At 37 years old, Northern is one of the three oldest multi-service agencies in Ontario,” Amos said. Both directors outlined the various services their agencies provide, from seniors services like Meals on Wheels to family services like early childhood education. Amos said they currently have openings for children in their programs.

Celebration of the Arts

For his part, Townsend had the brand new Grace Centre to crow about. The former Grace United Church on Stagecoach Road in Sydenham was recently renovated and “now we have a commercially approved kitchen, the Food Bank has doubled in size and it’s a one-stop shopping centre for community services,” he said. Townsend seemed particularly pleased that the former church sanctuary was spared from becoming office space and turned into a centre for the visual and performing arts. He did however point out that there are plans for an addition which will provide additional office space. He said the new Grace Centre will provide the capacity to expand programs and services by “at least 25 per cent” within its first

full year. Warden Janet Gutowski praised the efforts of the two organizations. “As councilors, we are all indirectly involved in community services,” Gutowski said. “Things like keeping seniors mentally and physically healthier and allowing them to stay in their homes longer is something that’s a better solution for all of us.”

Thanks to global climate change, many of the weather patterns we’ve grown accustomed to in the past are no longer the norm today. It seems much of the country experiences shorter than normal days of moderate spring and fall weather, with seasons simply switching from scorching sun one moment to chilly temperatures and snow the next. That means it’s never too early to take a refresher course in preparing for safe winter driving. Winter weather takes all of the usual road hazards and steps them up a notch. Slippery roadways, congestion, road rage, pedestrian trafďŹ c -- all of these situations seem magniďŹ ed when the weather is poor and daylight is waning. Although winter driving may be frustrating, there are ways to prepare for the season and prevent accidents and injuries. Prepare It’s important to check that a vehicle is in top shape before the cold weather sets in. Pay special attention to the tires. If tires are bald or their wear is signďŹ cant, that could prove hazardous on weather-slicked roads. Have tires replaced before the ďŹ rst snowfall. The same can be said when switching from regular performance tires to all-weather or snow tires. Be sure to change all of the tires on the car, even if it is just a front-wheel drive vehicle. Now is the time to also get a tune-up on the vehicle. Cold weather can make it hard for a car to perform at its best, and any problems should be eliminated before they spiral out of control. Be sure to top off any uids in the car, especially windshield washer uid you might need to improve visibility during a storm. Check the function of wiper blades and change them if they aren’t up to snuff. Consult with a mechanic to ďŹ nd out if it is adviseable to switch motor oil viscosity during the winter to improve ow through the engine and help with cold start turnover. It also helps to stock up on supplies should you get stranded or stuck: - snow shovel - scraper/brush - tire chains - ashlight (with extra batteries) - abrasive material, like cat litter, sand, or salt - jumper cables - ares or reective triangles - brightly colored cloth to signal for help - empty water-tight container with candles, matches or lighter, bottled water, and a snack - sleeping bags or blankets, ski caps, and mittens - ďŹ rst-aid supplies

Skidding How best to maneuver a car when it starts to skid depends on how the vehicle handles. If the rear wheels skid, turn the steering wheel, and subsequently the front wheels, in the same direction of the skid. If the front wheels skid, take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral. Don’t try to steer immediately; the skid may slow, and traction could return. Then you can steer in the direction you want to go and put the car back into drive. Keep in mind that even with expert maneuvering it can be tricky to recover from a skid on ice. Snow tires are not infallible and may be ineffective on icy roadways.

Leaving Space One of the best things a person can do when driving in winter weather is to slow down and add much more room for reacting to roadway conditions. Driving slowly and braking slowly may help to prevent skids. Also, should a skid occur, having more room between you and another vehicle helps you to maneuver elsewhere or come to a stop without causing an accident. When visibility is poor, leaving extra room means you can react if something suddenly veers into the path of the car or you missed seeing it through the snow and sleet. Stranded or Stuck Should the car break down or it becomes stuck in the snow, there are some things you can do. Be sure to steer or push the car to a safe location, if possible. Put up warning ares or triangles so that you are visible and leave the four-way ashers on if the battery is operable. You can try “rockingâ€? the car, by putting it in drive and hitting the gas, then in reverse and pressing on the accelerator to create a valley in the snow that might free the car. Use your abrasive material to provide traction. You can also attempt to shovel out the tires. If the car is inoperable, stay in the vehicle out of harm’s way and call for help on a mobile phone. Leave a window cracked open if you will be running the engine for periodic heat. The National Safety Council says that you can run the engine for heat about once every hour, or every half hour in severe cold. Be sure to clean snow from around the end of the tail pipe to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. For extra heat, don blankets or a sleeping bag to prevent hypothermia. Driving in winter conditions can be exhausting and hazardous. Being prepared for common scenarios decreases risk of accidents.

Tire maintenance essential to staying safe on the road Maintaining a vehicle is a great way to stay safe on the road while extending the car’s life. Routine maintenance can keep a car running like new for years as long as vehicle owners stay on top of things and stick to a maintenance schedule. Most drivers are aware of when to get their oil changed and other fluids checked, but not all drivers know how to maintain their vehicle’s tires. Proper tire maintenance makes a car safer for drivers and their passengers and can even pad a driver’s pocket with a little extra money. * Routinely check tire pressure. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that tire-related crashes are most often caused by underinflated tires. Underinflation isn’t always caused by a leak. In fact, gradual loss of pressure is natural, particularly when the seasons change and temperatures dip. An underinflated

tire makes handling difficult and can even cause structural damage to a vehicle. Drivers should check their vehicle’s tire pressure at least once a month. Those who have long commutes should check their tire pressure more frequently, and it’s always a good idea to check tire pressure before and after a long road trip. Recommended tire pressures are listed in the owner’s manual. * Look for abnormal wear and tear. Tires will wear down over time, gradually losing tread. However, drivers should inspect tires for excessive wear and tear, which could be indicative of other issues, including underinflation and alignment problems with steering and suspension. Additional issues to look for include bulges or cracks on the sidewalls or tread and any signs of a punctured tire. * Rotate tires. Most drivers have heard of tire rotation but

Out of balance tires can cause significant issues that stretch beyond just uneven tread wear. An out of balance tire can wear down the vehicle’s suspension. When driving at highway speeds, drivers might notice a considerable thumping. This is often indicative of an out of balance tire. * Stay cool. Sudden tire failure can often be traced back to overheated tires. A tire can overheat for a number of reasons, including aggressive driving. Frequently driving on coarse surfaces or at high speeds can also increases tire temperatures, as does ambient temperature. Driving at high speeds on a very hot day increases the risk of sudden tire failure, as does driving at high speeds on coarse surfaces. To reduce tire temperature, avoid doing these things simultaneously. If it’s an especially hot day, for example, don’t drive aggressively and maintain lower speeds.

might not know how often tires should be rotated or even why rotation is necessary. The owner’s manual will solve the first problem, identifying how often tires should be rotated (most suggest every 6,000 miles). As for why it’s good to rotate tires, doing so helps achieve even tread and extend the life of the tires. Tires are expensive, and rotation can help drivers get more bang for their buck. Drivers of front-wheel drive vehicles will notice their front tires wear down faster than their rear tires. That’s because the front tires are doing most of the work, bearing the brunt of the force of braking, steering and driving. Rotating tires effectively levels the playing field. * Stay balanced. Sometimes tires become unbalanced. When taking a car in for routine maintenance, ask the mechanic to see if there are any issues regarding balance.

* Don’t mix and match. A vehicle’s balance can be affected significantly if owners mix and match their tires. Having different tires on the left and right sides is likely to upset a car’s balance. When installing tires, do so in front or rear pairs or even complete sets. Pairs should also be the same size, brand and type, and should have the same tread wear as well. Should one tire go bad, it’s almost always worth it to buy two tires. When buying two, always put the two new tires on the rear wheels, regardless of which type of transmission (rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, etc.) the vehicle has. The rear wheels need maximum traction so the vehicle can remain stable. * Don’t overload a tire. Check tires for their maximum load range, which will be listed on the tire sidewall. This maximum load should never be exceeded. Doing so will increase tire wear and shorten

the tire’s life. Excessive load also increases the risk of sudden tire failure. It’s important to note the maximum passenger and cargo load intended by the vehicle manufacturer is often significantly less than what the vehicle can actually hold. But drivers must adhere to this figure to ensure their vehicles are safe and reduce the risk of sudden tire failure.

Simple steps to a clean interior Much like curb appeal improving the chances of a sale on your home, having a car that is presented well inside and out may boost the amount of money and potential of a

resale on your vehicle. Even vehicle owners who don’t anticipate selling their vehicles in the near future should maintain the vehicles to ensure they are safe and sound.

After home and work, a car is where many people spend most of their time. As a result, a vehicle can easily become soiled, scratched or overrun with clutter. Main-

taining the interior of your vehicle need not take much time or effort, but it should be done often enough to keep on top of the mess. Here’s how to start.

Remove Clutter The first step in cleaning the interior is to remove the excess items that may have accumulated in the car. Busy families tend to leave toys, books or clothing in their vehicles. There also may be discarded food wrappers or beverage containers. People who commute also may accumulate a number of items in their cars, including business materials. These items should be sorted through and put where they belong before tackling the rest of the cleaning work.

be more delicate than cloth upholstery. When cleaning a leather interior, use only products that are designed specifically for leather so as to avoid damaging the interior. Console and dashboard detailing A barely moist cloth can be used to clean the plastic components of the dashboard and consoles of the vehicle. The goal is to wipe away any dust and any minor stains or sticky areas without saturating important electrical components. It is always better to spray polish or cleaning agents on your cloth than directly on the dashboard. In hard-to-reachareas, consider using a softbristled paintbrush or cotton swabs to clean in crevices. Wipe down everything with a dry cloth or towel afterward.

Vacuum Much of the dirt and debris that accumulates in vehicles can easily be removed with a vacuum. A shop vac will have enough power to thoroughly clean upholstery and mats. If you do not have one, visit a self car wash. Remove the floor mats and set them on a flat surface. Thoroughly vacuum the mats to clear them of dust, dirt, food crumbs, and any other debris. Vacuum the floor of the car as well as any seat upholstery that may be a catch-all for crumbs. Using a soft-bristled vacuum attachment, you also can remove dust from the vents, speakers and the center console of your vehicle .

Windows Having clean windows is essential to driving safely. Cleaning the windshield and windows is relatively simple to do with a glass cleaner spray and a lint-free cloth. Use caution when cleaning the rear windshield if it has a defogger/defroster grid on the window. These wires can be damaged easily. Clean with the direction of the defroster grid lines.

Spot cleaning Spills and stains do occur in vehicles, just as they do elsewhere. Cleaning these stains may require a little elbow grease and a cleansing agent. Most automotive supply stores will sell an upholstery cleaner designed for car interiors. You also can use a mixture of laundry detergent and water applied with a slightly damp rag or sponge. Go over each area that is soiled so you can devote adequate time to each stain. The same process can be used on the vehicle’s carpeting. Use a brush to really clean heavily soiled areas. Leather upholstery can

Freshen the car Place an air freshener or spray a product on the air intake vent to eradicate musty smells in the car. It also is important to replace the cabin air filter periodically, otherwise you could be breathing in dust and dander that is trapped in the filter. These are the basic steps to cleaning a car’s interior. Other detail work can be done depending on your preferences and the make of the car. Routine maintenance helps others see you have pride in your vehicle and can ensure a better return on your investment down the line if you choose to sell.

Driving is no exception. Mistakes on the road can be serious; therefore, it is best for teen drivers to practice driving in areas that are not heavily populated or full of traffic. Parents may want to establish rules that the teen is not able to drive solo until he or she passes the requirements set forth by Mom or Dad. Parents can routinely ride around with their teen children to gauge how progress is coming along. * Get the facts. Talk to teens about road risks and how to stay safe. Research the laws and statistics pertaining to teenage drivers and share that information. It may not always be well received, but there’s a good chance that some of the message will get through. * Set a good example. According to a 2007 study from Students Against Destructive Decisions, the biggest influence on how teens drive is their parents. Almost two-thirds of high school teens say their parents talk on a cell phone while driving, almost half say their parents speed and almost one-third say their parents don’t wear a safety belt. Parents should be mindful of their own behaviors when driving and the impression those behaviors are making on youngsters.

* Establish rules. Distracted driving is claiming more and more lives each year. Many accidents are as the result of texting while driving. According to Distraction.org, in 2010, 3,092 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver and an estimated additional 416,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver. Text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted. Also, research has found that sending or receiving a text takes a driver’s eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent -- at 55 mph -- of driving the length of an entire football field blind. Parents can implement rules, such as that cell phones are not allowed to be on while in the car or the phone should be stored in the back seat or trunk while a teen is driving. Parents also may want to set rules that multiple passengers (friends) are not allowed to ride in the car until the teen is more accustomed to driving. Driving is an activity that offers freedom and mobility. It is also one that places a very large and potentially destructive piece of machinery into the hands of a driver. Education should be ongoing as teens learn to drive.

A new crop of teenagers is ready to take to the roads with their newly minted drivers’ licenses. Most teenagers are anxious to get behind the wheel because having a license and access to a car means freedom they may not have had before. However, parents and guardians may be worried about these teens on the road because they lack the practice and experience of more advanced drivers. Continuing to educate young drivers about safety can help reduce the risk of accident. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that vehicular accidents account for 35 percent of all fatalities among people 15 to 20 years old. What puts teens particularly at risk is the tendency of many young drivers to engage in reckless behavior and/or distracted driving. It is often up to parents to reinforce the rules of the road and also consistently work with their children so that the teens can become better drivers. * Practice safer driving. As with any activity, practice helps hone skills and teaches people through their own mistakes.

experts, Baby Boomers have long driven the direction of the automotive industry. Many desire to stay away from the brands and styles their parents drove, preferring something with more pep and style. In addition to the makes and models mentioned, CNW Marketing Research, a firm that looks at the reasons behind car purchases, says Boomers make purchases not only for the style of the car but also for the image the brand offers. The firm lists these vehicles as other popular purchases among Baby Boomers. * Dodge Viper * Toyota Avalon * Cadillac DTS * Chrysler 300 * Jaguar XK * Lexus LS 600h * Lexus SC 430 * Audi A8/S8 * Infiniti FX * Lincoln MKZ Form and fashion drives the purchase of many Baby Boomers looking for a new vehicle. With more disposable income, many can afford to splurge on a car that is sporty and will garner “oohs” and “ahhs” from others.

* Volvo C70: A turbocharged, 5-cylinder engine provides enough power to give a thrill to many Boomers. And with a convertible top option, it’s possible to have a breeze running through their receding hairlines, too. * Mercedes Benz SL: If it’s status and substance that Boomers desire, then there’s no looking beyond a Mercedes. Affluent Baby Boomers can enjoy a V8 engine and plenty of electrical gadgets to make their rides fun. * BMW 6 Series Convertible: Another premier car for the elite Boomer, the BMW sees 80 percent of its sales going toward Boomers. The 6 series is quick and has understated good looks, which also helps the vehicle serve as a status symbol for those behind the wheel. * Porsche Boxter: For those who have always aspired to be behind the wheel of a Porsche, the Boxter is small and sporty, perfect for handling the turns on the way to a country winery or maneuvering around traffic in an urban setting. According to industry

People born between 1946 and 1964, collectively known as Baby Boomers, are trading in their family vehicles for something with a little more power -- sports cars. When the nest is empty (and sometimes before), the vehicle of choice becomes a sporty, fast little ride that may be the envy of all who see it. Baby Boomers tend to have a higher income and/ or a surplus in savings after retirement and choose to expend some funds on a car that will make waves. Convertibles are a popular choice among this demographic, as are other roadsters that turn heads. Here are some of the more popular models you’ll see cruising the roadways with Boomers behind the wheel, according to statistics from TrueCar.com. * Chevrolet Corvette: The quintessential American sports car, Corvettes are especially popular among Baby Boomers. Boomers flock to Corvettes more than any other age group, with nearly 64 percent of buyers belonging to the Boomer generation.

Ghost hunting in Napanee and Deseronto Mark Bergin

columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle – Who you gonna call? On October 28, you can play ghostbuster on the History and Hauntings tour in Napanee and Deseronto. As Halloween approach-

es, visions of pumpkins, ghouls, ghosts and trickor-treaters fill shops and homes. The notion of going doorto-door in costume, hoping for treats can be traced to Ireland and Scotland, where the event was known as guising. Disguised and costumed children carried lanterns made from scooped out gourds and turnips. Halloween customs were carried to North America by a massive number of people immigrating, especially from Ireland during an Gorta Mór (the great hunger), in the 19th

century. By the turn of the century, Halloween had become more of a time for community gettogethers and children’s parties. By the mid 20th century, especially during post-Second World War years when baby-boom children were numerous, parties were moved to the streets, and children once again took part in guising/trick-or-treating. There are Kingston and Canadian connections to Halloween. The first report of guising in North America came in a Kingston newspaper in 1911. The first known

use of the phrase “trick or treat” occurred in Alberta in 1927. The supernatural aspects of Halloween have their origins in the Celtic nations, where November 1 was celebrated as the first day of a new year, called Samhain, which is the Irish word for November. It was a time when the harvest of crops was complete. It appeared as a “dead” time. Nothing grew. Darkness increased and the weather became cold and miserable. The Celts believed that at the transition time during the night before November 1, called Oíche Shamhna (Irish for Eve of November), the boundary between the worlds of the living and dead was at its thinnest. It was believed that those who had passed away could visit the living on that night. The Celts would light giant bonfires. As festivals developed over the centuries, people dressed in costumes of animal heads and skins, they told fortunes and made predictions for the coming year. In Christian countries, it became known as All Hallows Day. The night before became the evening of All Hallows Eve or Hallowe’en. Since the veil between

worlds (life and afterlife) is considered weak or non-existent on Halloween, a Celtic tradition involved leaving food and wine outside the front door or in the living room by the hearth, for roaming and visiting spirits. It was hoped that the spirits would be past members of one’s own family, who may be returning to visit or for a final goodbye. The Church adapted this ritual to the practice of distributing soul cakes (pastries) to the hungry. By the 7th century, the Pantheon in Rome had been dedicated to Christian martyrs. All Martyrs Day was established. This later became All Saints Day, a Church holiday. Similar to the Celtic festival, All Saints Day featured bonfires and guising in costumes as angels, devils and saints. My favorite Halloween ritual from my Irish family is the baking of barmbrack, a fruitcake. A ring or coin is placed in the middle of it before it is baked. It is believed that whoever finds the ring or coin will also find their true love in the ensuing year. Probably best for married folks to forego this tradition. It could be embarrassing for an already-married person to

find the coin or ring. Nowadays, Halloween is generally viewed as a fun time for children. Many adults also enjoy dressing in costume. I sometimes wonder if this is a time when some folks’ true inner selves emerge. Yikes. This year, costumed or not, from 4 to 8 p.m. on October 28, you can take part in a ghostly walkabout through Napanee and Deseronto. The tour starts at John and Mills Streets in Napanee. After touring Napanee, a shuttle will take guests to Deseronto. The tour guide will highlight unexplained phenomena at this Red Cow Society sponsored event. There’s also a Kingston connection here. “A young Sir John A. Macdonald was articling as a lawyer,” said Lisa Bird, who will be leading the tour. “He was related to the Macpherson’s by marriage. He had a theatrical troupe called the Red Cow Society. They performed political satire in the ballroom of Macpherson House in Napanee.” The modern Red Cow Society is involved in raising funds for charities in the community. See Ghost page 22

DAYTRIPPER GHOST From page 21

“We’ll be going into the buildings,” she said. “It’s really hands-on.” I won’t spoil any surprises by telling you which buildings will be visited, aside from the Town Hall in Deseronto. Bird said the tour will end up at John McNeill’s Place, a restaurant in Deseronto. At the Town Hall, you will hear firsthand accounts of strange ghostly events that have been witnessed. When Bird told me there will be ghosthunting equipment brought along

on the tour, that caused my eyebrows to raise, my head to tilt, and the skeptic to click in. But don’t worry, it’s all in fun. No ectoplasmic slime, à la Ghostbusters, is expected. Bird did provide some explanation regarding the equipment. One tool is an EMF meter, used to measure electromagnetic fields. They’re more commonly used to measure environmental radiation and human exposure to nonionizing radiation. My recommendation: If the

meter readings are high, leave quickly: you’re either about the be haunted or you’re being exposed to radiation. Bird did note that this is not a scary tour and children are welcome. In both towns, significant historic buildings will be highlighted. You’ll also hear about unexplained phenomena at each site. The intuitive (medium/ psychic) will tell guests what she is feeling about

each place. John McNeill’s Place will provide dinner, which is included in the cost of your ticket. “There are two resident spirits at John McNeill’s,” said Bird. After dinner, a shuttle returns you to Napanee. Reservations are required for the tour. Cost: $25 Tickets are available at the Napanee & District Chamber of Com-

merce (47 Dundas Street East, Napanee), Deseronto Town Hall (331 Main Street, Deseronto) and John McNeill’s Place (501 Dundas Street, Deseronto). You can also make reservations by phone at 613-572-5261. To fill you weekend with Halloween fun, don’t forget to visit Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village and, for some added fear, Fort Fright at Fort Henry.

“People love the haunting tour at this time of year,” said Bird. “It’s Halloween, when all the ghosts and goblins come out. There’s the thrill factor. We’ll have an intuitive (a psychic) along with us. We’ll also try to have people on hand to validate her claims.” Bird explained that it’s not just a tour where you stand in front of buildings and talk about them.

EMC News — South Frontenac Township got a clean bill of (financial) health for 2011 from auditor Vicki Leaky of KPMG at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Leaky said that while the accumulated surplus was down from 2010, this was due to accounts receivable also being down, mostly a result of grants from higher levels of government being down. Estimates to close landfill sites have also increased, she said. Coun. Ron Vandewal noted that the Township actually made more money in interest, “which is good,â€? he said and that “our employee cost is very conservative although we always hear how we’re hiring too many people.â€? ••• Fundraising for the addition to Frontenac Community

Arena has ended but there is still a shortfall that needs to be addressed, Coun. Ron Vandewal told Council. “This year, 2012, is the end of fundraising and whatever needs are left over will have to be paid somehow,â€? he said. “We still need to raise $150,000 to $180,000 and that discussion needs to happen.â€? Vandewal said making it a budget item for 2013 is one possibility but the arena board won’t really know how much it needs until all the figures are in. South Frontenac and Central Frontenac Townships are partners in the arena, which is on the border between the two municipalities, with South responsible for the greater share of funding due to its larger population. ••• Bedford resident Susan O’Brien McTaggart has been

Marguirite swings into action Mary Cook’s Memories By Mary Cook

EMC Lifestyle - My little friend Velma and I met at the back fence behind the Northcote School. Her feelings for bad Marguirite were just about the same as mine! How much do you want to bet she is still in her white store bought underwear that her mother buys in Walkers Store? Our eyes travelled over towards the gate where Marguirite was trying to work herself into a group of Senior Fourth girls who obviously want-

the weather was going to change and catch us without warm clothes. So Mother had long since ordered by sister Audrey into heavier white warm underpants, and me into the hateful navy blue fleece lined bloomers we got from Eatons catalogue. I hated them with a passion. “Bet a dollar she doesn’t even own a pair of those hateful bloomers,� Velma said. We looked over at Marguirite. There she was. Bouncing around like a rubber ball, in a brand new plaid coat with velvet collar, white stockings, and her usual black patent leather Mary Jane shoes. “If I had a dollar I would take you up on that Velma. Everyone our age wears those navy bloomers. And I am pretty sure Marguirite’s Mother would have her in them by now.� “I don’t think so,� Velma said. With slitted eyes we watched Marguirite at the swinging gate. It was then Velma had a most brilliant idea. It would involve Cecil of course. Everything that had a bit of a risk to it, always involved Cecil. Velma told me to follow her. I was used to that order, and walked with Velma over to the gate. The gate had to be kept hooked, because it was on a slant, and slammed shut otherwise. Velma called Cecil aside. That in itself was unusual. Cecil had very little to do with we younger girls at the Northcote school. But I saw Velma take something out of her lunch bag and hand it over to Cecil and I saw him nodding and looking over at Marguirite. “Who wants to swing on the gate?� Cecil hollered. We all loved to swing on the gate, and Marguirite was no exception. The young girls from Junior Third all yelled at once, but since the gate would only hold one at a time, Cecil pointed to Marguirite and said she could go first. Velma beck-

ed no part of her either. The less any of us had to do with the girl, the better we liked it. It wasn’t that she was so bad, even though we all called her bad Marguirite. It was just that she was so privileged! Being an only child gave her a decided advantage, and also gave her a sense of self importance that none of us could tolerate. I was very aware of the heavy navy blue fleece lined bloomers I had been forced into a week ago. The weather now had a nip in the air, and even a few snowflakes had fallen. There was no doubt Fall was upon us, and winter wasn’t far behind. It was a long walk to the Northcote school, and we never knew when

oned me over and we stood close to the action. Cecil said you could get a better swing if you put yourself higher on the gate and bent over. He made Marguirite climb up near the top and then pushed her over so that her head was hanging down on the other side of the gate. I was surprised she went for it. Marguirite never took orders from anyone. Cecil stood on the side of the gate where her head was, and he ran the gate closed and then gave it a mighty heave and running, swung it wide open. Marguirite squealed with glee, and Cecil gave her another ride for good measure. Then when the ride was over he accidentally pushed her off to the ground, and she went spread eagle head over tea kettle! I have no idea how he did it, but Cecil was able to have her land with her new plaid coat and everything under it around her shoulders. And there for the entire Northcote School to see was her store bought underwear from Walker Store, as white as the driven snow. No navy blue fleece lined bloomers for Marguirite. Velma just smiled in my direction, nodded to Cecil and we all lined up to go into school as Miss Crosby stood on the step ringing the big brass bell. I asked Velma how she was able to get Cecil into the act. She said it cost her two molasses cookies. That night at home, without giving Mother the details (I knew she would never approve of such shenanigans), I told her that Marguirite didn’t have to wear navy blue fleece lined bloomers, and I could see no reason why I had to. Mother said she didn’t care if even Princess Margaret Rose didn’t wear them or didn’t even own a pair, I would be wearing the navy blue fleece lined bloomers and there would be no further discussion.

Canada’s top stand-up faces Kingston audience Nov. 11 By RYLAND COYNE rcoyne@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – Comedian Steve Patterson will be keeping it real when he performs at The Grand Theatre in Kingston Nov. 11. “I like to base it (performance) on real things and real facts,” he told the EMC last week. Family, his Irish upbringing, his marriage, the U.S. election, even the Canadian men’s soccer team’s tough 8-1 loss to Honduras in World Cup qualifying – everything will be on the table for this Canadian funny man during his 90-minute one-man show ‘This Is Not Debatable’. (His solution, by the way, for the national team’s challenges is to have Canada’s Olympic bronze medal-winning

women’s team tackle the male opposition from now on). Patterson has been the host of the CBC’s ‘The Debaters’ for close to five years, but it’s on stage, live in front of an audience, where he’s most at home. His quick wit and ‘clean’ sense of humour saw him named Canada’s top male stand-up comedian at last year’s Canadian Comedy Awards. “It’s nice when your peers think you’re funny too,” he said. “You always want the respect of other people doing what you’re doing. I’m very proud of it.” The world of stand-up is what he calls a “notoriously competitive field,” one that requires a constant updating of performances and material. Patterson, like so

many of his peers, is most at home on stage and finds no shortage of subjects at which to poke fun and share with his audience. “I love it. I think most doing it do…it’s where (comedic) people are most comfortable actually,” he said. “I wouldn’t call it nervous anymore…this is their happy place.” How Patterson came to this point in his career some might find funny as well. “It’s been a long, different road for me,” he admitted. After earning a full scholarship to Osgoode Law School in Toronto, he soon realized a life in the courts was not for him. He shifted focus and school, attending the University of Western Ontario from where he graduated with a

degree in Business. It was during these years that he found his comfort zone, giving business presentations as part of program projects. He worked as an advertising copy writer upon graduation and eventually found his true calling in stand-up comedy when he lost his job in the late 1990s for making a particular spot on an amusement park “too amusing.” “I’ve definitely taken the longer road to success with stand-up for sure, but I like it,” he said. And Patterson still dabbles in his former ca-

reer, saying he does “a lot of shows for businesses” including a recent fundraiser alongside comedian Dana Carvey. His work in comedy has taken him around the world including the United Kingdom, the U.S., Australia as well as the United Arab Emirates. He took over as ‘moderator’ of The Debaters on CBC from initial fulltime host Shaun Majumder back in 2007 and says he loves the chance to work with other comedians across the country for radio and TV. The Debaters attracts a weekly audience

of 750,000 on CBC Radio. “It’s been a great gig,” he said. But it’s on stage where he’s most comfortable and best able to offer his view of the world around him. “People trust and know me enough now and know what to expect,” he said. “It’s edgy but not dirty.” Patterson’s looking forward to his stop in Kingston Sunday, Nov. 11.

Trillium Foundation launches “Get to Know Us” campaign By LORRAINE PAYETTE Correspondent

EMC News - The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) is reaching out to various groups throughout the area in an effort to help them fulfill their dreams, ambitions and aspirations. “Essentially, we’re reaching out because we want to get to know those organizations we have not funded before,” said Stephanie Attwood of the organization. “Though OTF gets many more applications than we can fund, we think we could be seeing more applications from ethno-cultural/ aboriginal/francophone serving groups in the OTF catchment area of Quinte, Kingston, Rideau.” This region’s diverse and ethno-cultural populations tend to be small, concentrated in tiny communities found in larger groups or centres. They are very important to the overall culture and structure of the area and need to be recognized and encouraged. However, the number of applications

made by these groups to OTF is proportionately even smaller than their representation in the general population. “Last year we awarded only two grants to aboriginal-focused organizations, and none to ethnocultural organizations,”

so many rejected projects that theirs will have no chance to be examined, let alone fulfilled. Yet last year alone the OTF divided grants totalling $4.14 million to 80 different organizations in this area. Attwood has been a program manager with the

community space including accessibility, grants towards assistance with festivals, grants towards program development or enhancements, grants towards initiatives that strengthen organizational capacity and more,” said Attwood.

said Attwood. “Our most recent francophone grant was to the Centre Culturelle in Kingston.” A misconception expressed by some small local groups is that the Ontario government has no interest in funding projects in Quinte, Kingston, Rideau. They believe that because they hear of

OTF for more than three years. She is eager to talk with the various ethnocultural groups in the area and determine how many of them are out there, what their needs may be, and go about finding ways to help them. “Some of the benefits we can provide are grants towards renovations to a

Grants are given based on need in the community, as well as many other factors. There are tree types of grants to choose from – Community Grants, which are for proposals having a mainly local impact; the Future Fund, for projects that use distinct and innovative ways to make significant, sustainable

changes in some specific area; and Province Wide, which are projects that have an impact on a significant part of the province. Each level brings with it different rules, obligations and funding amounts, and each is designed to give maximum support to the group or organization using the funding. Perhaps a group has an interest in setting up a teaching program to help local people learn more about their history, culture and language. They have a set idea in mind as to how they wish to go about this, but require funding. It would be advisable for them to go to the website, determine whether or not they might be reasonable candidates, then examine the program guides and discover how to make their application. A goal of OTF is to be as accessible and helpful as they can be to all community groups and organizations, regardless of ethnicity, origin or language. They understand that for some filling out an application may be highly con-

fusing, and they are more than eager to help. Some organizations are also afraid that they may not be allowed to apply for larger grants if the centres they live in are too small. They fear that they will be limited and therefore unable to compete for funding for bigger projects. “As for size versus amount, financial reporting and how grant reporting, it depends on each organization and the request,” said Attwood. “My colleague, Sayyida Jaffer, and I try to speak with each organization before they submit a request so that we can support them through the process and understand each unique situation. Sayyida recently held an information session with some local organizations involved in the Kingston Multicultural Festival. We are hoping to hear more from them in the near future. “I would encourage interested organizations to look at our website at www.otf.ca and then contact myself at 613-5303863 or sattwood@otf. ca.”

Winter tire ads become tiring EMC Lifestyle - Recently we discussed an Ontario report on pedestrian deaths caused by vehicle collisions and a reader has forwarded some helpful information… Dear Brian Turner: 
Re Pedestrian Death Review: clothing is an important factor. For those averse to wearing garments (all of them) with reflective stripes, Mountain Equipment Coop sells a reflective sash, in two colours, orange 
and green, cheap and folds up smaller than an envelope. When I wear them in large cities, such as Boston, you can hear cars stopping for kilometers around as I come up to a crossing. And of course you are confused for a crossing guard, which adds an extra whammy. And they are perfect for bicycling as well.
 
Best
 
Stan Segel,
Kingston I checked online (www. mec.ca) and the ‘Cactus Creek Safety Sash’ is actually available in three colours for only $9.75 plus tax and is stocked in Ottawa. The colour that Stan didn’t mention was black, which might seem odd for a reflective device, but it would blend in better for those that want to be stylish but it would still act as a reflector when a beam of light hits it. By now you can be excused if you’re tired of hearing winter tire ads in between every song on the radio and if your back

your service provider on the consequences. Make Shopping Easy: Before picking up the phone, or logging onto your favourite tire retailer’s website, grab a pad and pen and take down some info from your vehicle. Record the complete tire size which is found on the sidewall of the tire in a format like this: P225/65R16 or LT265/75R18 (for trucks). Compare this number with the tire label found on the driver’s door jam or in the glove box of your vehicle. If they don’t match, stick with the carmakers recommendation on the info label. Most vehicles had several tire size options from the carmaker and your retailer will need to know your auto’s specific size. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories

on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint. ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158,

Smiths Falls, Ont. K7A 4T1]. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume I can’t always promise replies). Yours in service Brian Turner

much cheaper to replace after losing a confrontation with a curb. But the financial advantages can vanish if you buy a set of steels for a vehicle you’re planning on trading in within a year or two for it’s always a testament to Murphy’s Law that your current ride won’t take the same rims and tires as your next one. Lost Sensation? The overwhelming majority of vehicles on the road today have a tire pressure monitoring system which uses sensors built into the tire’s valve stems. Even now that aftermarket and jobber manufacturers are supplying these parts, they can be rather pricey at an average of $60 each. For this reason many car owners choose not to equip their winter rims with tire pressure sensors. The downside to this is that you’ve deactivated a safety system, but that can be overcome with a simple tire pressure gauge and the willingness to bend down once or twice a month and check your tire pressures manually. But recently I’ve heard from an enterprising independent tech, (Kim Seveny from Brinston) who has discovered that on some high-end vehicles, deleting these sensors from your winter tire may affect traction control systems. He mentioned that on at least one late-model Lexus he’s worked on, the traction control computer monitors the tire pressure sensors as well as a number of other systems and the absence of a signal from the tires will stop the traction system from working properly, if at all. So before you make the call to forgo sensors on your winter tires, check with

hurts from lifting a recycle bin overflowing with related flyers and newspaper spots. But as winter seems to catch a good percentage of drivers off guard, maybe a few words on the topic wouldn’t be unseasonable. Four Not Two: On today’s front-wheel, allwheel, and rear-wheel light weight vehicles, putting just two snow tires on may be worse than plowing through winter on all-season (read summer) tires. With frontwheel drive vehicles, the lack of weight over the rear wheels makes them very susceptible to spinouts and drifting sideways on poor traction surfaces when there are no snows on the rear. Rear-wheel drive cars and trucks benefit from more precise and predictable steering when there are snows on all four corners. And mismatching snows and summers on an all-wheel drive can cause a host of handling and vibration problems as the variety of all-wheel drive control systems out there try to cope with tires with mismatching circumferences and traction levels. Steel vs. Alloy: You’ll notice more and more of your fellow travelers driving on black steel rims this winter and that option can make sense for many drivers. First, using snow tires already mounted on their own rims saves the dismounting, mounting and rebalancing labour twice a year which can average around $200 annually. Secondly it saves expensive alloy wheels from the harshness of our winter roads that can leave them scarred with salt pitting and peeling clear-coat finishes. And of course steel rims are

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

From elegant to playful, artist creates glass works of beauty Mark Bergin

columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle –Caroline Shuttle didn’t expect to be an artist. Her career was in wood. She trained in forestry and geology and spent 20 years with the Ministry of Natural Resources in Bancroft. In 1996 the province downsized its work force. Most of the laid off workers took on contract work. Not so for Caroline Shuttle. She launched a whole new career. She transitioned to life as an artist. She creates kiln-formed glass and works with it sculpturally and functionally. “Kiln-forming glass is designing through heat, time and gravity,” she said. “The amounts of each used in combination give endless possibilities. Each piece I make will go into the kiln about two to five times, depending upon the effects I am trying to achieve.” She also works with stained glass and said she gets great pleasure from the design aspect. Shuttle works out of a

century-old carriage house in Bloomfield. She said she chose the location for her studio because the area is so supportive of artists. “I needed to be in a place with artists around me,” said Shuttle. “I loved Bancroft. It’s a whole different way of life that fit my forestry and geology roots. But it was time for a change.” A friend had taught glass cutting in the past and Shuttle started to use her tools. She then found some old glass-cutting tools of her own and never looked back. She’s advanced her artistic glass skills through programs in Cape Cod, Haliburton and at Red Deer College. She’s studied at Corning Glass in New York where she advanced her skills in cold glass work, grinding and polishing. “It’s amazing the sculptures that can be created

with optically clear glass,” she said. Shuttle was attracted to glass work because of the medium itself. “I love the many forms it can take and the fluidity of fused pieces,” she said. “You just have to touch it. I love the shine and the endless opportunities for design.” Her work includes glass sculpture, wall pieces, beautiful vases, along with many functional pieces. The glassware she creates is diverse. From vibrant colours to more muted forms, the sensuous textures of her creations call out to be noticed. Shuttle is not sure from where her creativity arises. “I do believe I am just channeling the energy,” she said. “I am not the wellspring, I just direct the flow.”

As an observer, I see many threads leading from her past. “I do miss the bush,” she said. “I miss the wild solitude of it, the roughness of it, and the way it made me feel so capable and fit. I suppose the solitude has carried on in the studio. I do work alone most of the time . I think there is a connection between then and now, although I’m one of those types that think there is always a connection.” But she’s probably right. In life, everything is connected, even when we don’t see the connections. For Shuttle, the connection between her past and present is an abiding love of beauty and form and being immersed in it, whether it’s in the forest or her glasswork. See Artist page 36

ENCHANTÉ ARTIST From page 35

“More and more, I feel like art chose me more than I chose it,� she said. Her forestry past is evident in some of her work. For example, I saw a stained glass creation with lots of maple leaves. That piece won her an Ontario Crafts Council Design Award. “The inspiration is an ode to my forestry past,� she said. “I was thinking about the shape of leaves and how they fall in the autumn.� She also finds inspiration in Japanese art. She said it’s the quiet elegance of such work that attracts her. That same description could describe much of her own work. Quietly elegant. On the other hand, some of it is playfully wild. Shuttle likes to use black in her work. It serves to highlight the colours. She said it boosts all the other shades and hues in her work. “It makes them snap right out at you,� she said. “Black allows you to make simple designs with high impact because the colours stand out.�

She creates her own design based on what the customer wants. “The whole process of working with people, listening to their thoughts and designing things for them is something I really like,� said Shuttle. “You never know who’s going to come walking in the door. You meet interesting people who love your work.� Shuttle said her art is about enjoyment. “My art is not political,� she said. “It is fun, gorgeous and colourful. My mission in life is to enjoy it and to focus on family and friends and give them as much love and support as they will take.� She said that all art is important and fulfills every emotional need, from political venting to finding solace in beauty and to laughing out loud. “Ultimately, it defines who we are, both personally and on a broader scale.� Shuttle’s world is one of artistic beauty and unique creativity.

I leave you with a fond farewell Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

EMC Lifestyle - Many of you have followed my cooking column, Food and Stuff, since it first appeared in the Smiths Falls EMC in 1978. Now, it reaches 500,000

households covering the area from Ottawa to Prescott, from Norwood to Trenton, and almost every community in between. It’s come a long way in those 34 years. I love cooking, and I love experimenting to find out how a new dish will taste. I wish I could explain how much I’ve enjoyed creating hundreds of new recipes and sharing them with you. My reward has come every time that someone comes

up to me and tells me how much they enjoy my column. And when they tell me that they make a lot of my recipes, I’m delighted because that has always been my goal – to give you recipes that you will make in your own kitchen, and enjoy. No matter who I talk to, I hear the same comment about my recipes again and again. They are easy to prepare with ingredients that you have on hand.

This year, my life suddenly took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Needless to say, this came as a complete shock, particularly as I had never smoked. I am now undergoing treatment and have had to make major changes in my life. As a result, this will be my last cooking column. I have enjoyed writing about cooking for many years, and I know that I will miss it. I am giving you one last recipe, Jennie’s Brownies. They are very easy to make, and everyone loves them. Make them often, and enjoy

every delicious bite. Jennie’s Brownies about 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder to dust the baking pan 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1 cup white sugar 2 eggs, well beaten with a fork 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not hot chocolate mix) 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) Butter the bottom and

sides of an 8” square cake pan. Sprinkle 1 tsp. of cocoa powder over the buttered surfaces. Tap the pan to spread the powder evenly, and discard any excess. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the pan comes out clean. Cool the pan on a wire rack. These are good with or without icing.

that’s it. It’s also about his friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) who’s an actor and a dognapper. Billy is trying to help Marty, but then he takes Charlie’s (Woody Harrelson) dog. Charlie is the local gangster and a complete psychopath. He’s determined to get his dog back and kill anyone involved. The film is an odd combination of Marty writing his script, Seven Psychopaths, and it actually happening to him. While Marty, Billy and Billy’s dognapping partner Hans (Christopher Walken) are on the run from Charlie, they’re also trying to finish Marty’s script. There’s this kind of merger as reality crosses over into Marty’s script and Marty’s script crosses over into reality. The film has no shortage of psychopaths. You have Charlie of course, and the masked vigilante killing members of the mafia. There’s the nut that answers the ad Billy posted for psychopaths to come share their stories. Hans turns out to be an Amish psychopath, and you can’t forget Billy who’s also a nut case. To say this film has an odd collection of characters goes beyond understatement. Attempting to puzzle it out might bring on its own kind of madness. In the end I suppose Seven Psychopaths is about friendship, good and evil, and maybe Heaven and Hell. It’s kind of a comedy, or at least it has funny moments. Though they’re the kind of funny moments that leave you

feeling a little uncomfortable. There’s surprisingly little violence for a movie with seven psychopaths in it, but the violence that does happen is shocking and horrific. Most of the film is about a character gaining a better understanding of the others. The film really attempts to make these psychopaths human and sort of likeable. It’s equal parts compelling and disturbing. Which I think makes it more disturbing. The performances are just as compelling and disturbing as the story. Which I think makes them good. Collin Farrell plays a great drunken screenwriter. Sam Rockwell gives the kind of

convincing performance that makes you want to take him off your ‘stars I’d like to have dinner with’ list. Christopher Walken goes from likeable old man to terrifying old man in the blink of an eye. Woody Harrelson rounds things out with a performance of a stereotypical violent psychopath who is anything but stereotypical. I’m still not sure what I thought about Seven Psychopaths. It’s definitely one of the most unique films I’ve seen. I think this is the kind of film you’ll just have to see for yourself. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Halloween Safety Tips For Everyone Halloween is a favorite time, that’s filled with fun, make-believe and lots of candy. Unfortunately, it’s also become a time of risk for children. These safety tips can help to ensure that children will have a safe and happy time while trick or treating. Go trick or treating with an adult or a friend. If you do not go with an adult, draw two maps of the route you and your friends will take. Give one map to your parents and take the other with you. • • • • • •

Wear light-colored clothing Bring a flashlight along with you with new batteries. Walk on sidewalks only. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic. Cross at intersections only. Don’t run from home to home or across streets. Don’t eat any treats until your parents have looked at them first. Be home at a reasonable time.

Tips provided by the Kingston Police Force.

• Make sure eyeholes in a rubber or plastic mask don’t restrict vision. Take off masks when crossing streets. You may want to use makeup instead of a mask. • Don’t enter homes, always stay where parents or guardians can see you. • If you are approached by a stranger, head to any lighted house and ask them to contact your parents or the police.
