South Frontenac puts its history on displayBy Mandy Marciniak [email protected]

News – After more than a decade of work, the dream of the South Frontenac Museum is finally a reality. On Aug. 15, members of the Portland and District Heritage Society, South Frontenac mayor Ron Vandewal and about 100 community members gathered in Hartington to celebrate the grand opening of the new museum and congratulate those who made it happen.

“This is a perfect example of the strength in our community. That is the motto of the township and it shows in this project,” said Vandewal. “For years and years dedicated volunteers have been working to pre-serve the history of the former townships and now it can be displayed for everyone to see.”

Plans for the museum date back to 2001 when a group of five individuals got together and came up with the idea at a cottage in Verona. The project was then registered in 2002 and fundraising began.

“We did everything we could to raise money,” said Barb Stewart, chair of the Heritage Society. “We quick-ly realized that we needed a piece of property owned by the township in order to get off the ground and luckily we had a lot of help.”

Former mayor of South Frontenac Gary Davison got involved with the cause and helped the group se-cure a building; in 2012, the group moved into an old schoolhouse in Hartington. The building itself is also historical and dates back to 1903.

“It was an old schoolhouse and then a library and then a clothing shop,” explained Stewart. “It needed some work, but we got there and we are happy to be here today.”

The building underwent a lot of work including new windows, an accessibility ramp and interior work, but Township staff, public works employees, contractors and numerous volunteers were happy to help.

“It has been a long road but we made it,” said Mark

Segsworth, Public Works manager for the township. “I knew we would make the grand opening today and we did because of all the hardworking people in-volved in this project.”

The museum aims to represent the four townships that amalgamated to make South Frontenac – Lough-borough, Bedford, Portland and Storrington. Current-ly, displays within the museum showcase old furni-ture from McMullen Manor in Verona, items from the Harrowsmith Blacksmith Shop, old spinning wheels and historical clothing and war memorabilia, but all of these items are just the beginning.

“This has all been collected from members of the community and eventually we hope to have pieces representing all of the townships, but we have limited space,” Barb Stewart, chair of the Heritage Society. “We just opened and we are already out of space and looking for storage for other items. There is just so much history out here.”

The museum also includes an old typewriter that belonged to local poet and author Dorothy Mur-ray Sliter, who even wrote a book about Verona, her hometown.

“We have a first edition of ‘The Friendly Village’ and I think that is pretty special,” said Stewart. “It is nice to have her (Sliter’s) work out there for people to see. It is out of print now, but it is a part of the history of Verona.”

Now, with the grand opening out of the way, Stewart is already looking to the future for the museum. She hopes that community members take interest in the mu-seum and she hopes to see an expansion in the future.

“I feel great about this project and this day and we are so happy with what we have accomplished, but expanding would be nice. We’ll see what the future holds.”

The South Frontenac Museum will be open on Aug. 28 for the 150th anniversary celebrations in Frontenac County, but regular hours have not been set yet. For more information call Barb Stewart at 613.374.2191 or email her at [email protected]

South Frontenac residents voice their concerns over proposed Inverary solar farmBy Mandy [email protected]

News – On the evening of Aug. 19, about 50 residents from South Fronte-nac gathered at the Sydenham Library to make their opinions heard on a pro-posed solar project. Some held signs with the phrase ‘Reject Inverary solar plant’ printed on them; others simply waited patiently to voice their con-cerns.

The meeting was held by Canadian Solar and Suncor, two companies who have partnered for a proposed solar farm in Inverary that would generate 140 MW. The proposed Large Renew-able Project (LRP), known as Collins Lake Solar, would be located on two properties in Inverary, bordered by Da-vidson Side Road to the north, Holmes Road to the south east and Latimer Road to the west, with Perth Road run-ning in between the two properties.

The meeting was a town hall format with questions asked by citizens and answers provided by representatives of Suncor and Canadian Solar, but at times things got a bit heated.

“We wanted to demonstrate that there is a lot of opposition in this com-munity towards this project,” said Lisa

Knechtle-Jerkiewicz, a resident in Inver-ary. “The community is not supportive and we do not want the facility right in Inverary. We are not necessarily against green energy and projects like this, but we don’t want it in this location.”

Many citizens raised concerns about construction of the panels, the location in terms of taking up valuable farm-land and the eye sore that the panels would create for residents and visi-tors in the area. Residents were also concerned with the timeline for the proposal; while Suncor and Canadian Solar have been working on the project for about four months, residents only heard about it two weeks ago and the deadline for the proposal with com-ments is Sept. 1.

“I feel like they are trying to push this project down our throats,” said Gregory Jerkiewicz. “This presentation was very well-organized and well-timed and we feel like it is just being sprung on us. They started working on this proposal in March and they chose to wait until now to contact and notify the communi-ty. We want businesses to be ethical and forthcoming and I don’t feel like they are being either of those things.”

While the overall tone of the meeting was one of objection and disapproval,

Marnie Dawson, project manager, re-newable energy for Suncor Energy Inc., wasn’t sure that this meeting was a fair sampling of how the entire com-munity feels.

“We’ve heard from quite a few people that they are not supportive, but what we’ve learned in the past is that a lot of times the people who are sup-portive don’t come out to these meet-ings,” said Dawson. “I don’t think this is a reflection of the whole community, but it definitely is valuable information for us.”

The meeting in Sydenham was the second community meeting about the issue with the first being held at the Invista Centre on Aug. 17. The goal of the meetings was to gage how the community was feeling about the proj-ect and introduce the companies to residents.

“We want to learn more about them and to hear their comments and con-cerns,” said Dawson. “Following this meeting we will put together our bid package for this project and submit it to the government and we wait. If the project goes through we will continue to work with the community to sort out some of the issues that were raised from these meetings.”

Many residents are hoping that the bid does not go through, but they real-ize that a lot of the decision making is out of their hands.

“Our strategy was to try and stop this by coming out and having our voices heard and now we will try to in-fluence council on the matter too,” said Knechtle-Jerkiewicz. “We aren’t going

to stop just yet.”South Frontenac council has called

an emergency meeting for Tuesday, Aug. 25 to vote on the issue and resi-dents are encouraged to come out and share their opinions.

Procter sisters reach goal in 7th annual swim across Sharbot LakeBy Craig BakayReporter

News — It was a beautiful Satur-day on Sharbot Lake.

It was nice and warm, not unbear-ably hot, and the water was calm and refreshing.

“It was pretty awesome,” said Theresa Procter, who, with her sisters Becki and Katie (Ansley), had just finished a three-kilometre swim from the docks at Sharbot Lake Provincial Park to Oso Beach. “It was calm wa-ter, no sun and we even had music on the (chase) boat this year (OK, so it was One Republic mostly).”

At one point early on, the wa-ter looked so inviting that even dad Mike jumped in to join the girls. Dad has driven the pontoon boat behind the girls each year.

“I said ‘OK girls, keep up with me,’” said the elder Procter. “After five minutes I was back in the boat.”

No doubt having 13 members of

his family visit for the weekend had taken its toll.

The girls began their annual swim in 2009, after watching their grandmother, their aunt, and a young friend succumb to cancer. They had been big advocates of Relay For Life but that year they just couldn’t make it for the walk around the Parham Fairgrounds.

So, they figured a swim across the lake, something they’d been do-ing since they were kids, would be a great way to have a family gathering and raise funds at the same time.

On average, it generally takes them an hour and a half to make the three-kilometre journey. But this year, with the calm waters, they clocked in at one hour, 25 minutes.

“I think we did it faster one year,” said Theresa.

The girls set a goal of $1,500 this year and as of last Thursday, they’d collected $1,350 online and $200 in cash, surpassing their goal by $50.

And dad thinks that total should grow a bit yet.

“Every day there seems to be another $25-$50 added online,” he said.

If you’d like to donate, here’s the website: convio.cancer.ca and use the

‘find a fundraiser’ button. In the past six years, the girls have raised more than $10,000.

Actually, there’s another part of the team who’s been around for all the swims, Procter said.

“Norm Landry has been in a boat

behind them each year and this year we were joined by Lloyd Whan,” he said. “To show their appreciation, the girls baked them cookies for the trip and Lloyd said he was glad it wasn’t any longer or he’d need more cook-ies.”

The Procter sisters, Katie, Becki and Theresa, were greeted by several dignitaries includ-ing Mayor Frances Smith and Katie’s daughter Abigail when they arrived at Oso Beach following their 7th annual Swim of Hope on Sharbot Lake last weekend.

After The News: Casement’s latest an art rock adventure in more ways than oneBy Craig BakayReporter

News — At one point, when Verona rocker Lee Casement began collecting tunes for his latest project, After The News, he was feeling in somewhat of a folk-rock mood.

“The songs were written sorta folky, just me and an acoustic guitar,” he said. “But when we got into the studio (with long-time collaborator Shaun Weima at the controls) it became more ambient folk . . . a lotta space in there.”

As a result, only one of the seven songs on the CD, Sunday, really has a folk-rock feel.

As for the rest, well, the term Art Rock seems more appropriate. Listen-ing to the CD, one gets the feeling this could have come from any number of bands that seem to pop up out of the student body at the Ontario College of Art every couple of years or so.

“I guess it shows you what we en-joy,” said Casement with a laugh.

Indeed, there are several ‘art’ con-nections with this project.

The second track, with lyrics by Lisa Menard, is called I’m Drawing You. The cover photo is sculptor Ste-fan Duerst’s Godfrey forge and the video for the opening track, Stand, was filmed at Duerst’s studio and sculpture garden. Promotional photos were also shot there. You can see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jelf0mNixEg.

“Stefan’s kids and my kids are friends,” Casement said. “And we felt his art fit the project nicely.”

This project, much like Casement’s previous ‘In The Guestroom’ efforts, wasn’t intended to be a “proper band” but gigs just started presenting them-selves.

Casement and Weima were joined by vocalists Jamie Young, and Casement’s cousin, Menard along with several other musicians for a CD release party in Bellrock, which led to the Westport Musicfest and a spot at the Frontenac County 150th Anniversary Celebration Aug. 30 in Harrowsmith.

We got a lot of positive feedback from the Westport show,” Casement said. “(Organizer) Seamus Cowan said ‘you guys came out of nowhere’ and the feedback just keeps filtering in.

“When somebody says ‘great show’ right after, it’s one thing but when that keeps coming weeks after, it’s some-thing else again.”

Casement wrote six of the seven songs, except for the lyrics on I’m Drawing You. The first four tracks are very spacey art rock, followed by the aforementioned Sunday, which has a nice rather bouncy beat in the folk rock tradition.

The next song, Morning Hymn (Wake Up) feels like it might have been recorded in the same barn Neil Young and the Stray Gators used to record Harvest, complete with Weima playing pedal steel parts on a Telecaster with a bow.

The final cut is This Play, is a Weima composition that begins with a bit of Celtic influence a la Lindisfarne before finally settling into the spacey theme of the rest of the CD.

In Our Opinion

Council should revisit prospect of new high school at Memorial Centre

Over the last couple of months, the Kingston Heritage has received a number of letters to the editor urging Kingston City Council to reconsider allowing the Limestone District School Board (LDSB) to build a new high school on the site of the Memorial Centre.

The school is intended to amalgamate Kingston and Queen Elizabeth Collegiate and Vocational Institutes, as well as Module Vanier, a French Immersion school for Grades 7 and 8 currently located in KCVI. In 2014, the Ontario Ministry of Education provided the Board with $36 million for the construction of a new building that will accommodate 1,340 students – the number currently enrolled in all three schools.

The LDSB initially indicated that the Memorial Centre site, which is relatively equidistant between KCVI and QECVI, was their top choice in terms of location; however, Kingston City Council vetoed this idea, feeling the Memorial Centre should be preserved as is: they said it provides much-needed green space for the Williamsville neighbourhood, honours war veterans; and serves as a prime location for the Fall Fair and weekly Sunday Farmers’ Market.

The Board thus decided to build a new intermediate and secondary school at the current QEVCI site, and many families in the KCVI neighbourhood are understandably disappointed that the school their children will be expected to attend is located so far away. There are others who argue in favour of the QECVI location, noting that youths living in the more economically disadvantaged neighbourhood around the school do not need another hurdle when it comes to attending and eventually finishing high school.

Either way, this issue is obviously very important to Kingstonians, so perhaps a more informed decision is called for on the part of City Council before ground is officially broken for the new school.

For example, public meetings could be held in both affected neighbourhoods, so the City can hear first-hand the ideas and concerns of residents. Council could also instruct staff to conduct a study related to how exactly the Memorial Centre area would be altered by a new school – perhaps it wouldn’t be so drastic as they’re currently assuming. Another potential study could look at how youths in each neighbourhood would be affected by a school at the M-Centre vs. QECVI.

Another factor to consider is how much closer LCVI is to many homes in the current KCVI neighbourhood when compared to QECVI. We’ve already heard from a number of KC-area parents who say they’ll simply send their kids to LC because it’s within walking distance of their houses. Not to mention the fact that many students from wealthier families will likely choose to attend Leahurst College, a new private school also located in Kingston’s downtown core. Sure, the new school is being built to accommodate 1,340 students, but how many of those are likely end up there realistically speaking?

Like it or not, the issue of where the new downtown high school will be located isn’t going away any time soon. This is a decision that will significantly affect the lives many Kingstonians, and one that should require a good deal of research and thought.

Summer - the heat, or the humidity is on and that’s fine with me

Column — It’s a muggy day in Sharbot Lake. Mona the Wonder Cat is lounging on the front porch, not moving any more of her 22-pound frame than she has to.

Out in the parking lot, a couple of elderly ladies are complaining about the heat - well, not the heat specifi-cally, because, you see, it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.

Now, I’m not one to complain about the heat, or the humidity for that matter. OK, so it makes my Stratocaster sticky, but other than that, I’m fine with it.

Similarly, I like it when the lake is ‘like bathwater.’

(I have, however, been known to complain about the cold, but with any luck, we’ve probably got another couple of months before we’ll have to start paying the propane guys again.)

See, the thing is, maybe it’s un-comfortably hot, but so what? One of the best things about living in this area is you’re never very far from a dip in the lake, or the river.

I don’t like air conditioning, never have.

Many people seem to think they have some obligation to run the air conditioner to the point where they have to put on a sweater in the house. Not me. Let me take off my shirt and wear nothing but cutoffs for the rest of my life and I’ll be happy. If it gets really, really hot, I might dig out a fan and drink a Pepsi with ice cream in it.

Now, a lot of people have said ‘if you like the heat so much, why don’t you move somewhere where it’s warm all the time?’

The answer to that is easy — poisonous snakes and crocodiles. They’re both deal-breakers to me.

I remember thinking during my first visit to the Florida Keys that this might be a place I’d like to live. However, when the people we were visiting told us they don’t let their cat

out at night because of the snakes, it kinda blew that fantasy.

And actually, the snakes don’t even have to be poisonous. There’s a spot in the Bay of Quinte near Point Anne where those big black water snakes used to come right up to you and say hello. Only ever swam there once and have no intentions of ever going back.

And crocodiles (including their cousins, the alligators), well, I’m convinced I fell into a nest of ’em in another life.

But snakes and gators aside, the food in hot countries also tends to be hot, a little too hot if you ask me. (My beloved son-in-law is from India and the stuff he likes to eat would burn the mouth right off of me.)

At any rate, I guess people have to have something to complain about and the summer heat seems to be an easy enough target.

But I like the heat and so the only complaints you’ll hear from me at this time of year are that it won’t be long until we’re freezing our asses off again.

150+ years of farming in Frontenac County By Mandy [email protected]

News – Frontenac County is cel-ebrating its 150th anniversary at the end of this month, and while this is an incredible milestone, there are some families who have even more history in the area than the county itself.

“My great-great grandfather came to the Battersea area in 1820 and set-tled on a farm just a little way from here,” said Ron Sleeth, owner and

operator of Eilevale Farm in Batter-sea. “We were actually in the area 50 years before the county was created, but we’ve been here on this farm land for about 95 years so they have us beat there.”

Sleeth is a fifth generation farmer and knew from a young age that he wanted to live and work on the land his grandparents occupied at the time. He lived with his family in the village of Battersea, but he remem-bers spending most of his time on the

farm.“My grandmother was a school

teacher and I liked living on the farm more than in town,” he said. “I loved the cows right from the start and they are still my favourite.”

Eilevale is home to 75 cows and Sleeth milks about 30 of them each day with the help of his son, Ron, and his grandson, Brody, who hopes to one day become the seventh gen-eration to farm the land.

Sleeth’s youngest son, Paul, is also

involved in the farm, but in a differ-ent way.

“He’s a veterinarian in Winchester and he helps us with the cows. We have extra because we do embryo transfer work with our cows,” ex-plained Sleeth. “It is much more scientific than it used to be and if someone told me 25 years ago that we’d be doing this I’d think they were crazy.”

Science is just one of the many ways the farm has changed over the years; Sleeth has also seen signifi-cant changes to corn and soy beans, advancements in farming equipment and even an increase in the amount of milk cows produce during his farm-ing career.

“The amount of milk the cows give is about two to three times what they gave when I was growing up. That is because of genetics and su-perior feeding of the animals. They give about 16-17 thousand litres of milk a year,” he said.

With all of this milk production, Sleeth makes a point to donate about 4,000 litres of milk a year to local food banks – it is just one of the many things he does to give back to the community.

“My grandmother and my aunt al-ways believed in giving back and that stuck with me,” said Sleeth. “Their thought was that the county was good to them so they had to give back and my grandmother did that as a school

teacher for a number of years.”This idea of giving back earned

Sleeth and his farm a Family Farm Award from BMO in 2014 and also contributes to Sleeth’s involvement in municipal politics. Sleeth was the reeve and warden of Frontenac County at one point and has held the position of councillor for the Stor-rington district of South Frontenac for a number of years.

“I’ve always wanted to be in-volved and it only makes sense to serve the community that allows you to prosper,” he said.

While Sleeth and his family have had a number of great years on the farm, he is concerned about the fu-ture of it and whether or not it will be sustainable for his grandson and the generations to come.

“The biggest threat is free-trade talks and whether or not the gov-ernment is willing to protect supply management for dairy farmers and chicken farmers,” he said. “Without farms we have no food and unfortu-nately a lot of people don’t under-stand that.”

For now, Sleeth isn’t thinking about the future too much; instead he is focused on celebrating the history of Frontenac County.

“I am really excited about the 150th anniversary and all of the cel-ebrations,” he said. “The County is older than Canada and that is crazy to think about.”

Payne hopes to increase environmental awareness as Green Party candidate in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston ridingBy Mandy [email protected]

News – Anita Payne never really had an interest in politics, especially at the federal level, but when the Green Party was formed in Canada she found her-self getting more and more involved.

“I first heard about the Green Par-ty in Europe and then I learned that there was a meeting in 2003 in Strat-ford where I was living at the time. I got my green clothing on and went to the meeting and a group of us started the riding association out there,” ex-plained Payne, a former high school science teacher. “At first I was a helper and then when a candidate was needed

in 2007 for the provincial election I stepped up.”

Payne went on to run two more times provincially in the 2011 and 2014 elec-tions. She moved before both elections, but found herself getting involved with the riding association wherever she went. Now, in her new home on Black Lake in between Perth and Westport, she finds herself immersed in the party once again.

“I was trying to find a star candidate to run in this riding and people kept telling me to look in the mirror,” she said. “I hadn’t considered running fed-erally because my main concern is with education and that is more of a provin-cial matter, but I’m here and available

and the riding association here is really strong.”

While Payne’s main goal is to win the riding, the riding association knows this is a long shot. Their goal is to run a strong campaign on a low budget and really focus on raising awareness in the area about a variety of concerns.

“Climate change is happening right here in the riding and we see that with extreme weather events, roads being washed out and damage coming from hard rains,” she said. “We have had so much heavy rain this year and every-one can see that and if it continues it will affect agriculture and even tour-ism.”

Payne is concerned that with rising temperatures and increased rain, the riding could see an increase in hazard-ous blue-green algae in the lakes and water systems. This increase could then lead to a decrease in tourism.

“This riding is full of lakes and sea-sonal residents and if the water qual-ity isn’t good that can be an economic hardship,” she said. “We are also see-ing an increase in Lyme disease in our area and as temperatures rise, Lyme bacteria has moved north and so have other invasive species of plants.”

In terms of the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding, Payne promises that she will be a strong voice for her constituents and use their opinions and voices to dic-

tate how she votes in parliament. She also points out that the Green Party is about more than just the environment.

“We also have concerns around vet-eran pensions and farmers, especially in this area,” said Payne. “We need to protect family farms. The future of ag-riculture is in these farms and we need to take notice of that. We can produce more food locally and import less.”

Overall, Payne just hopes to make a difference in the area and she hopes

that her campaign will force people to think about some of these issues.

“There are a lot of issues to cover and a lot of stuff being thrown out there,” she said. “People need to speak to their candidates and find out where they stand on the issues that matter to them. That is what is most important.”

Over the coming weeks, the Kings-ton Heritage and Frontenac Gazette will profile all candidates in the La-nark-Frontenac-Kingston riding.

School day mornings can be hectic, as getting kids ready for school and out the door on time is not always easy. Working parents may find school day mornings especially difficult, as their own work schedules can make morn-ings feel even more rushed. Fortunate-ly, parents can employ several strate-gies to free up time in the morning so everyone starts their days off in a more relaxing atmosphere.

• Wake up earlier. Sleep might seem like a precious commodity, but waking up just 10 to 15 minutes earlier can re-move some of the stress from weekday mornings without costing you a lot of sack time. Let kids sleep in until their normal wakeup time, using your extra 10 or 15 minutes to shower or enjoy your morning cup of coffee before the house is abuzz with activity.

• Tackle certain chores the night be-fore. Delaying certain chores until you wake up makes for a hectic morning, so tackle as many morning chores as pos-sible before you go to bed for the night. Prepare school lunches, lay clothes out for yourself and your children, and make sure kids have their backpacks packed and ready to go before they go to bed. Each of these things may only

take a few minutes, but when left for the morning, they can add up to a sub-stantial amount of time.

• Encourage youngsters to pick up the pace. Some people are morning people, while others dread setting their alarms for early morning hours. Kids who fall into the latter group may drag their feet in the morning, but parents should offer encouragement when kids are moving slowly in the morning. Al-lowing your frustration to show may only make kids less fond of mornings, so remind them as nicely as possible that everyone has a schedule to stick to if they seem to be dragging their feet.

• Keep the television off. If watching the television is ingrained in your morning routine, try going a few days without it to see if this makes it easier to get out the door on time. Kids might grow distracted by morning cartoons, and even adults may get caught up in morning news shows or other forecasts. Elimi-nating television from your morn-ing routine can save time and also may help your family grow closer, as you will have more distraction-free time to speak to one another. In addition to turning off the televi-

sion, resist the urge to turn on your devices or scan work emails when getting ready in the morning.

Parents know that school day mornings can be hectic. But there are several ways to make such

mornings go more smoothly so ev-eryone gets where they need to be on time.

Some youngsters experience diffi-culty when the time comes to focus on their schoolwork. Such difficulties may be linked to a variety of factors, and parents can be overwhelmed as they at-tempt to identify the root cause of their youngsters’ struggles in the classroom.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 6.4 million American children between the ages of four and 17 have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity dis-order, or ADHD. ADHD most often oc-curs in children, and these children may have difficulty with concentrating, pay-ing attention, staying organized, and re-membering details. But not all children struggling to focus on their studies have ADHD. Parents who want to help their kids overcome their issues with regard to focusing can consider a host of ap-proaches and strategies.

• Speak with a qualified health-care professional. Because ADHD is so common, parents should seek the opinion of a licensed healthcare pro-fessional to determine if their child has the disorder. According to the National Resource Center on ADHD (www.help4adhd.org), psychiatrists, pediatri-

cians, neurologists, psychologists, and certain licensed counselors or therapists are qualified to diagnose ADHD. Deter-mining if a child has ADHD is a great first step toward helping that youngster overcome his or her struggles in the classroom. A qualified healthcare pro-fessional can help develop a strategy to improve focus, and that may include prescribing medication to improve the child’s ability to concentrate.

• Speak with your child’s teacher. Students who don’t have ADHD can still have trouble focusing on their schoolwork, and parents of such stu-dents may want to speak to their chil-dren’s teachers to solve the problem. Educators have significant experience dealing with students who have trouble focusing, and they may be able to make certain suggestions to help kids focus on their work.

• Minimize distractions at home. Some kids may do well in class but find it hard to focus once they arrive home. That’s because home often has far more distractions than the class-room. Once the time comes for your child to do his or her homework, minimize distractions that can com-

promise his or her ability to focus. Turn off the television and take kids’ phones away if they have their own phones. During homework time, only allow them to use their computers for their lessons and not to connect with friends via social media. Parents also should make sure they aren’t the distraction. Let kids do their work in peace and quiet, offering to help if need be, but steering clear of kids work areas so they are encouraged to focus and not strike up conversations with mom or dad.

• Make lists. Some kids focus bet-ter when they know exactly what they have to do. Encourage such youngsters to make lists of their as-signments and check items off as they are completed. Checking items off can give kids a sense of accom-plishment, which can motivate them to stay focused on their schoolwork going forward.

• Encourage breaks. A breather every so often can help kids avoid growing tired. Make sure kids don’t take up another task, such as playing video games or watching television, during their breaks. But keep in mind

that standing up every so often to walk around or get a glass of water

can help them stay sharp and ener-gized over the long haul.

Back to school season can be as expen-sive for parents as it is exciting for stu-dents. Once the initial letdown of the end of summer vacation wears off, many kids are excited to return to school, where they can see their friends, study their favorite subjects and participate in extracurricular activities.

Parents of school-aged youngsters may share in that excitement while also know-ing that back to school season can stretch their budgets. One of the ways to salvage those budgets is to save on school supplies. Fortunately, there are several ways parents can do just that.

• Be patient. Shopping early can save shoppers money in many instances, but parents may benefit by exercising patience when it comes to buying school supplies for their children. Teachers often give students lists of supplies they will need for each class, and parents who wait to receive such lists can avoid spending money on items their kids won’t need. Even if you wait it out, you may be able to get a head start, as some teachers may post supply lists on school websites, while others might email lists to parents before back to school sea-son hits full swing.

• Take inventory. If you have more than one child, chances are you already have lots of school supplies around the house. Dust off kids’ backpacks and study areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need to buy and which you al-ready have. Going forward, encourage kids

to store their supplies in a predetermined area once the school year ends, as this will make next year’s inventory that much easi-er to examine and assess.

• Spend more now to save later. While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such items likely won’t withstand the test of time, forcing you to spend time and money each year buying replacement sup-plies. Paying more now for certain items, including stronger backpacks and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you money in the long run, even if the ini-tial pill is somewhat tough to swallow.

• Use technology to your advantage. Department stores and businesses that sell school supplies, such as pharmacies and office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back to school season hits full swing. But savvy parents can still find deals by using technology to their advan-tage when shopping for school supplies. Download apps like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and enable its updates so your phone essentially notifies you of any dis-counts the moment you walk into a given store. If you don’t receive any updates, search for discounts via the app or the In-ternet as you shop. Chances are strong that there are deals to be had, even if you don’t learn of the deals until you arrive at the store.

Five things I love about living on a lake

Column - As I’ve mentioned be-fore in this column, I live on a lake just north of Sydenham. The ‘house’ Korey and I live in is actually a cot-tage that is owned by my by in-laws who very generously allow us to live there. When we moved in we weren’t sure it was going to work and we also weren’t sure that after living in the city for a few years and growing up in the GTA we’d be able to handle the isolation, but over time I think we’ve both grown to love our little arrangement.

As with any living situation, there are certainly things we aren’t so fond of, but there are also a lot of unique perks that come with living on a lake. Here are a few:

‘Cooler’ temperatures – While 1. this isn’t necessarily a plus in the winter, it definitely is in the summer. We usually get a pretty good breeze off the lake and on hot days there is nothing better. For most of the summer we can simply open the windows and let the fresh air flood in - some-times that air even smells like campfires.It’s always pretty – No matter 2. what the season, the lake is al-ways pretty. In the spring, ev-erything comes back to life and birds reappear; in the summer, the trees are green and the lake glistens in the sun; in the fall the foliage is changing colours all around; and yes, even in the win-ter, the lake and trees are blan-keted with a crisp layer of snow. There is also the added bonus of beautiful sunsets. The cottage

faces west so we see amazing sunsets all year round. Summer water activities – This 3. summer Korey’s family has been all about paddle boarding, but if that isn’t your cup of tea there is always tubing, paddle boating, kayaking, canoeing, going out on the boat or simply swimming in the lake. All of these summer activities are pretty great and very accessible when living on a lake.Wildlife – I’ll admit it, I have 4. a bit of a love-hate relation-ship with wildlife at the cot-tage. Pretty deer, foxes, turtles, chipmunks, loons, herons and even groundhogs – Yes. Snakes, bears, porcupines, wolves, and fishers – no thanks. I love see-ing deer throughout the seasons in the area and I love hearing the loons call each night. I’d never be able to experience either of these things living in a city, but I probably wouldn’t deal with snakes there either. Like I said, good and bad things for both.Peace and quiet – Living on the 5. lake is so quiet. Sure we deal with wolf howls every once in a while and sometimes the lake is a bit noisy and busy on a week-end, but for the most part it is just the sound of crickets, waves and sometimes loons. I actually find cities kind of annoying after living on the lake and I‘m guess-ing I wouldn’t enjoy an over-night stay in Toronto that much anymore either. The quiet was something that took time to get used to, but now I look forward to it each night.Overall, living on a lake is pretty

great and I would highly recom-mend it to anyone who has the op-portunity. It may take some getting used to, but I guarantee you will fall in love with it just like I have.

One of the many amazing sunsets we’ve seen living on the lake

10 things that have defined Frontenac County in 150 yearsBy Craig BakayReporter

News — Frontenac County, like any municipality, has been shaped by its his-tory, both recently and more than a century ago. In light of the County celebrating its 150th anniversary this month, here are a few things (in no particular order) that have been instrumental in making it what it is today.1. Geography

Frontenac County consists of three distinct geographical zones: The Islands in the St. Lawrence River; The St. Law-rence Lowlands and the northern Canadian Shield. Each area brings its own contribu-tions and concerns. The Islands necessitate ferry operations. The St. Lawrence Low-lands have a long history of agriculture and provide gravel and limestone for building. The Canadian Shield tends to be an eco-nomic challenge but rich stands of timber created the major economic development that fueled the County’s early years.2. Lumber

Arguably, the first real ‘industry’ in the Frontenacs was lumber. Before there was a network of railroads, logs were floated along a variety of natural waterways, feed-ing a plethora of mills, the remnants of which are still in evidence today in places like Sydenham, Parham and Verona. The Bellrock area in particular was a hub of activity, although very little remains of a once-thriving practice. Still, there are plenty of deadheads in Frontenac lakes and

rivers left over from bygone days.3. Railroads

Anybody who’s waited in line at the Tichborne crossing for 10-15 minutes while a CP train of seemingly endless freight cars goes by might think that rail is still a major force in the Frontenacs. However, all of the stations that once thrived here have long since been torn down. It wasn’t always so. Sharbot Lake was once a major destination for both the Kingston & Pembroke and CP lines. The K & P in particular made stops in Robertsville, Clarendon, Oso, Sharbot Lake, Olden, Tichborne, Hinchinbrooke, Godfrey, Verona, Hartington, Harrowsmith and Murvale. But when rail was supplanted by the automobile, many villages and ham-lets like Arden lost their major economic driver. However, long after the tracks were torn up, the old rail beds have found new life, as a multi-purpose trail network.4. Agriculture

Like the lumber industry and railroads, agriculture in Frontenac County is some-what less important than it once was but there are still plenty of viable farming op-erations — dairy, beef, sheep, market gar-dening, beekeeping and a variety of niche operations. Most of the farming operations have always been in the south, where the St. Lawrence Lowlands provided better yields than the less-than-optimal ‘soil’ of the Canadian Shield, which proved chal-lenging for those who tried to eke out a living on it. But, a curious side effect of the decline of agriculture has been the development of subdivisions, particularly

in South Frontenac Township, as the land once cleared for farm fields got carved up to provide country homes, even to the point where legislation was required to save the remaining prime agricultural space. A rath-er recent boom industry, though has been maple syrup, both in larger commercial operations and as a hobby.5. Tourism/Cottage Life

All four townships live or die economi-cally on tourism. Be it seasonal cottagers, hunters, anglers, hikers, bikers, boaters, fes-tival goers or just plain nature lovers, Fron-tenac County is clearly a prime destination for vacation time. There are gorgeous lakes and waterways in rare abundance as well as plentiful wildlife in natural habitats. North Frontenac has even been dedicated as a Dark Skies Preserve, bringing a new wave of astronomy buffs to what is rapidly becoming an international destination. And truth be told, the landscape is what attracted most of us here in the first place, and argu-ably the biggest reason why we stay.6. First Nations

Long before Europeans even heard of Canada, the area now known as Frontenac County was home to a number of First Nations, primarily the Anishinaabe and in particular the Algonquin and Ardoch peoples. Few gatherings in the County, are complete without an Algonquin presence, especially drum circles. The Silver Lake Powwow (happening Aug. 29 - 30), now in its 21st year, continues to draw crowds from around the world. But perhaps the First Nations’ most important contribution

is their relationship with the land; they see themselves as its stewards, and this phi-losophy has filtered down to many of the ‘settlers’ who have chosen to make this land their home.7. United Empire Loyalists

After the American Revolution in the late 1700s, many residents of the north-ern states remained loyal to the British Crown, and some 10,000 of them came to Upper Canada, where many were granted homesteads. The result of this was a pre-dominantly English-speaking population west of the Quebec border. They brought with them their traditions, values and work ethic, establishing settlements and travel networks, most of which still exist to this day.8. Amalgamation

As the 20th Century came to a close, the government of Ontario decided it had too many municipalities and forced amalgamation on its citizens. Fronte-nac County went from 15 townships to four, literally overnight. The much-ballyhooed tax savings due to econo-mies of scale hasn’t really panned out as promised but the four townships — North Frontenac, Central Frontenac, South Frontenac and Frontenac Islands — have managed to make strides in the areas of roads, waste management and land-use planning that likely wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.9. Music, festivals and other gather-ings

Let’s start with the Parham Fair,

which turns 123 years old this year and is one of the oldest country fairs in Can-ada. The Blue Skies Music Festival has been going since Oskar Graf and Greg Forbes built a stage on Graf’s back 40 way back in 1973. Since 1980, you have to win a lottery to get a camping pass at it. The Verona Cattail Festival and Sil-ver Lake Powwow have each entered their third decades. Music has long been a part of Frontenac County, dating back to when the Trousdales would close the bakery/hardware store in Sydenham early on Saturdays so that the local mu-sicians could play for a weekly street dance. And we defy anyone to prove that Frontenac County doesn’t have more fiddles per capita than any other county in Ontario.10. Butter tarts, blueberries and bake sales

While it may be a stretch to define any particular cuisine as typically Frontenac County, one thing you’re likely to see any time baked goods are presented is the ubiq-uitous butter tart. With or without raisins, the County butter tart tends not to be runny, with a thick crust containing one fold. And while blueberries may exist in other parts of the country, the vast majority of roadside stands selling them seem to be along our section of Hwy. 7. Of course many of those blueberries find their way into pies and tarts. And where do those pies and tarts get sold — at bake sales of course. Churches, seniors groups, various and sundry organi-zations . . . we have a lot of bake sales.

By Hollie [email protected]

Sports - The ‘hometown curse’ of the Kingston Canadian Open of Fishing has been lifted at last thanks to local fire fighter Lenny deVos, who took home the top prize on Aug. 15.

deVos reeled in 24.25 pounds of small mouth bass on the first day of the tournament and 28.05 on the second day, resulting in a winning total of 52.3 pounds for the top 10 fish combined. The heaviest indi-vidual fish was a 5.75 pound small mouth.

He was rewarded with the tour-nament’s $16,000 grand prize, plus $2,000 for catching the biggest fish – and, of course, bragging rights.

“It was pretty amazing,” deVos says. “I’ve put a lot of hard work into fishing Lake Ontario over the last few years, trying to learn [its ways] and it’s finally paid off.”

He says the key is to understand how the winds on the lake affect the habits of the fish.

“I just try to find areas that I can fish based on the wind direction and speed of the wind on that par-ticular day. You can’t really fish just anywhere on Lake Ontario when it’s windy, you have to find areas that hold big fish in a some-what protected area.”

deVos is a firefighter with Kingston Fire and Rescue by day, and a pretty serious fishing pro on evenings and weekends; he can reliably be found on one area lake or another every weekend during fishing season, and competes in about one tournament per week. This coming Saturday, he’s head-ing up to the Renegade Bass tour-nament on the Ottawa River.

“Opening weekend right through to the end of October I’m pretty much booked,” he laughs.

All of these tournaments are live release, meaning the fish are thrown back into the water right after being caught.

“It’s really, really strongly ad-vised that we try to keep our fish healthy and alive so we can catch them another day,” deVos ex-plains.

A total of 41 professional an-glers paired with 41 amateurs for this year’s Kingston Canadian Open. The tournament usually lasts for three days, but the second day of this year’s (Friday, Aug. 14) was cancelled due to weather.

deVos would like to send a special thank you to his sponsors Hunters Bay Marine; Triton Boats; Set the Hook Baits; Duckett Fish-ing; Vigor Eyewear; Ultra Tung-sten and Sunline.

Kingston’s hospitals receive over $8 million for infrastructure improvementsBy Mandy [email protected]

News – Hospitals across Kingston are often announcing capital projects, improvements and equipment up-grades like a new MRI and in some cases new facilities and wings. While these projects are all fantastic and essential to our growing healthcare system, maintaining the basic infra-structure of our hospitals is also im-portant.

With this constant demand for maintenance in mind, MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Ki-wala, announced on Aug. 19 that the province is investing over $8 million to help Kingston’s hospitals address their maintenance needs.

“It is easy to be focused on new capital projects, but the fact is that in between those projects and even during them there are still signifi-cant maintenance costs that need to be looked after,” said Kiwala. “This funding means that we can continue to keep our hospitals in the best pos-sible state; anything that we can do to provide the best possible care to our patients in Kingston is very impor-tant to concentrate on.”

The funds come from Ontario’s Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF) which was established in 1999 to assist hospitals. Initially, hospitals had to come up with a local share to receive funds, but in 2004 this requirement ended and hospitals have been able to make significant improvements to their infrastructure as a result.

“It wasn’t that long ago that Hotel Dieu was only receiving $100,000 a year so this allocation of funds is very welcomed,” said Krista Wells Pearce, director of redevelopment and plan-ning at Hotel Dieu. “We are spend-ing money on roofing that needs to be replaced and an elevator as well as some exterior stone replacement that we couldn’t afford last fall.”

Hotel Dieu will receive $2,112,796 of the allocated funding with Kings-ton General Hospital receiving $4,709,242 and Providence Care re-ceiving $1,411,082. Similarly, funds at KGH and Providence Care will help with new roofing, security sys-tems, improvements to heating, ven-tilation and HVAC systems and emer-gency systems.

At KGH and Providence Care, funds will also help maintain his-torical buildings that date back to the mid 1800’s.

“We have some of the oldest facili-ties in Canada and we celebrate that history and it is a really important part of Kingston,” said Leslee Thompson, president and CEO of KGH. “But we really need to be joining the 21st century in making our facilities safe for patients and maintaining them for staff. These funds will help with

that.”Cathy Szabo, president and CEO

of Providence Care was also very happy to receive funds for historical maintenance and acknowledged that while a brand new facility for Provi-dence Care is well underway, there are still maintenance costs at other facilities.

“We are building a hospital so it is hard to use current money to main-tain what we already have, but it is all about patient safety and staff safety so they can deliver care effectively,” said Szabo. “These funds are very much appreciated and can help us maintain the level of care that our pa-tients expect from us.”

Kiwala also acknowledged that some funds will be used to upgrade facilities to energy efficient systems, reducing the cost to each facility go-ing forward.

“These investments make things easier for the future and they help our entire community receive the care they need. That is so important.”

Sophie Kiwala announced on Aug. 19 that the prov-ince will invest over $8 million to improve the infra-structure of Kingston’s hospitals.

Fort Henry hosts ‘Little Big Day’ in support of Big Brothers Big SistersBy Mandy [email protected]

News –Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organi-zation that focuses on mentorship between ‘Bigs’ and ‘Littles’, as children and their adult mentors are called; together these pairs participate in a variety of activities including movies, sports and social events, but on Aug. 19 members received a unique opportunity to explore one of Kingston’s most famous attractions.

“St. Lawrence Parks Commission and Fort Henry had always mentioned wanting to do a joint event and that is what is happening today,” explained Peter Cory executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “We are here and we are fundraising and our members are enjoying all that the fort has to offer.”

The idea came about after an unfortunate fund-raising event last fall that left Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kingston, Frontenac Lennox and Add-ington without the funds they were promised. The “colour run,” held at Fort Henry, was organized by an American company. They promised to do-nate funds raised by the run to BBBS in exchange for their help during the event.

“We took on some of the leg work in terms of providing volunteers and after the run took place we were to receive the money, but the company disappeared,” said Cory. “Unfortunately, other charitable organizations had a similar experience too.”

After hearing about this unfortunate develop-ment through the news, CEO of the St Lawrence Parks Commission, Darren Dalgleish, called BBBS and promised the money they were sup-posed to receive.

“They had already collected rental fees from the company in advance and they wanted to give us the money that we should have received,” said Cory. “He came the next day and gave us

a cheque and it was wonderful to see that sort of generosity.

Dalgleish also went a step further and worked with Cory to organize a day for BBBS at Fort Henry free of charge.

“We offered some assistance to remedy a situa-tion and it has morphed into a unique relationship with this organization”, said Dalgleish. “The ‘Lit-tles’ will enjoy a special opportunity to be men-tored by the Fort Henry Guard – something these children would never be typically exposed to. Our intention is to create a partnership program that can be sustained in the years to come.”

Cory expected about 50-60 members to take advantage of the day, which invited members ei-ther with their families or their matches to come explore the fort and then stay into the evening to see the sunset ceremony, something 12-year-old Max Minicola was looking forward to.

“It’s my favourite part. I’ve been here once be-fore and it was a lot of fun,” said Minicola. “Me and my match, Kyle, usually go swimming or to the movies, so this is a bit different.”

Cory was joined by a number of volunteers on site to register members as they came in, but also to collect donations from the public and raise awareness about BBBS and their services. In Kingston, BBBS serves almost 300 kids through their traditional match programs, in-school men-toring programs and group mentorship programs and they are always looking for interested volun-teers.

“We are happy to answer questions and provide information to those who are interested and this is the perfect venue for that,” said Cory. “We are re-ally grateful for the partnership here and we hope it continues.”

To find out more about programs, fundraising opportunities or to inquire about mentorship, please contact Big Brothers Big Sisters at (613) 544-1621 or www.bigbrothersbigsisterskingston.com.

ENCHANTÉ

Photos for clothes

Enchanté – Heather Jones, a just-turned 18-year old aspiring radio and

television broadcaster, loves giving back to the community through her photography.

For the past couple of years she’s been raising money from her photographic creations in order to help with Corus Entertainment’s Clothes for Kids program. For ten years she’s helped the charity in other ways.

“I used to raise money by selling bracelets and any silly thing I could,” she said. “I started by wanting to make enough money to buy a snowsuit. When people started telling me my photographs were fairly good, I figured I’d sell them and raise money for something good, something better than just making money for myself.”

She mostly takes scenic photos. There’s an emotion and passion, even an abstract and surreal mood, to her work. I viewed one of her photographs that drew my

attention, a simple yet touching image of a leaf, through a display window. It turns out that was the photo that first prompted Heather’s friends to encourage her to do more.

“I like taking pictures of scenery,” she said. “I do like to take photos of bands, but they don’t sell as well. I love just going out on my bike in the middle of summer at sunset and taking a ton of photos.”

She’s been taking photos for such a long time, she doesn’t remember when she created her first image.

“I honestly don’t know how I got started,” she said. “It could have something to do with my brother. In high school, he took a photography course. Being a typical little sister,

I want to do everything my brother does. On a hike, I took a picture of a leaf and it turned out incredible. People told me I really had skills, and I kept taking photos.”

In Grade 12, she took a photography course at KCVI.

This week she heads to Niagara College to study in the Radio and TV Broadcasting Program. She’s moving into her new home to get settled early before briefly returning to eastern Ontario. She’s always wanted to see the band One Direction. She has tickets to see them in Ottawa just before her academic year starts at Niagara.

Heather Jones raises funds for Clothes for Kids through the sale of her photographs. The aspiring broadcaster is headed to Niagara College, but plans to continue her charitable work with Kingston’s Clothes for Kids. Photo/Mark Bergin

Photos for clothes“When I was 13, I used to cry at

night about thinking I’d never get to see them in a live performance,” said Heather. “Mom got me these tickets for Christmas not realizing I’d would be at school.”

She said she doesn’t prefer any one type of music.

“My music interests go from One Direction, a boy pop band, to post hard core/metal core.”

She’s not going into her broadcasting program on a whim. She completed the Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute (KCVI) radio program last semester. She worked at The Cave, the school’s radio station.

“I really enjoyed The Cave,” she said. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I got the opportunity to be

close to my dream job and interviewed my favorite band, Crystalyne, twice, once at the Mansion and the next time

at Overtime.”It was several years back, when in

Grade 9, that Heather realized that she wanted to work on TV.

“I’d gone to a Hedley concert,” she said. “I liked Hedley before, but seeing them live really flared my love for them. Then I watched an episode on Much Music about how the band formed; it was followed by an interview. I realized that’s a job you can do. Music is the one thing I love more than anything.”

Some might think that TV broadcasting is an odd choice for someone like Heather, an admitted introvert.

“TV work doesn’t bother me at all,” she said. “I’m just talking to the

camera, not all the people watching.”She joked about how she’s leaving

Kingston the day after her 18th birthday.

“It’s like I’m legally allowed to live in my own now, so, bye.”

With her photography skills, why not go into the print journalism field?

“I want to do it as a side project,” she said. “There’s something about TV and radio that interests me a little more, probably because I can go into the music side of things more.”

To see Heather’s photography, you can visit her Facebook page (search heathahhhhs photography). You can also email her about purchasing her photographs: [email protected]. Her work is seriously underpriced and worth every penny. She sells framed 5x7 photographs for $20 and 8x10

photographs for $25.You can also follow Heather Jones

on Twitter @photos_by_hdj.Every cent of each sale goes to

Clothes for Kids. She doesn’t even deduct the cost of the frame or printing.

She has some advice for young people following her footsteps into the world of the media.

“Find every possible opportunity to talk to people in the industry, because they can really help you get ahead,” she said. “By knowing people and having connections, that’s how you get ahead. That’s how I got into it. I know quite a few people from the Internet and through my [KCVI] co-op program at [98.3] Fly FM and [98.9]The Drive, and from Clothes for Kids with CKWS.”

Heather’s looking forward to her post-secondary training at Niagara College, and hopes to get placements in Toronto. She would like to end up

working in a large urban setting. “With radio and TV, you can end up

anywhere in Canada,” she said. “That’s another really interesting thing about this work: one day I want to travel and explore new cultures. I want the kind of job where you could end up anywhere, somewhere I’ve never even thought of. The same for my college program. I understand a lot of people want to stay in their hometown, but I want to try new things. I’m ready for a change.”

There are some things she’ll miss about Kingston.

“I really like Kingston’s music scene,” said Heather. “There are so many varieties of music in Kingston and so many people you can connect with just from the music scene.”

Wherever she ends up, Heather said she wants to continue to help the Clothes for Kids program in Kingston.

Here are a few design features we could do withoutThere is now a wealth of features

and options available on vehicles that can make driving a lot safer and enjoy-able at the same time.

Things like collision mitigation systems, rain-sensitive wipers, power lift-gates and the like have solved problems that many of us never knew we had to begin with. But for all the creature-comfort and safety systems, automakers are still offering items that we really don’t need, but tend to want.

Maybe it’s time to rethink our de-sires.

Sunroofs. Whether panoramic full glass roofs or the front-half-only style, these are one of the worst ideas to ever come out of an auto design-

ers sketch pad. They create an over-whelming wind noise when open and the vehicle is moving at anything over 60 km/h. They have small drain tubes to remove water that can accumulate if the roof is opened when it’s raining or even if the roof is just wet. These drains can cause interior water leaks if they become plugged risking trim and electronics damage. They also keep the cabin from warming up quickly on a very cold day thanks to the lack of insulation from the glass panel. And of course you can imagine the mess that leaving a sunroof open when the vehicle is parked and subjected to an unexpected torrential downpour. The only advantage to having a sunroof is

that you can quickly vent hot air when getting in on a warm sunny day and your passenger has a great view of the sky (as the driver you’re not supposed to be star gazing).

Spoilers. These cosmetic trim items can range from a small inconspicuous lipped edge on the trunk lid all the way up to a wing more befitting of a small aircraft. In marketing terms they’re supposed to provide additional down force on the rear end of the vehicle for a more stable ride. In reality they only have this effect at extremely high speeds. They will, however reduce fuel economy and trap enough snow and ice during the winter to make the deck lid hard to open.

Parking lamps. These have been around for de-cades proving that few carmak-ers ever think to question the status quo. They are not required to legally operate the vehicle on any public road. If it’s dark enough for lights, by law you must turn on your vehicle head-lamps and daytime running lights are fully automatic.

So parking lamps are a throwback to the era when car designers figured we all needed help finding our vehicles when parked in the dark. I came across a new vehicle recently whose design-ers finally eliminated that useless po-sition on the headlamp switch (2015 Jeep Renegade).

What’s on the top of your Auto Things We Could Do Without list? Drop me a line.

On the opposite side of this debate there are features that we really could use and the technology exists to bring them to market. What about a rain sensing system that could roll up your power windows if you left them down when parked? For any who might worry that this might risk to injury if a passerby happened to have one of their body parts in the way when the glass was closing, many of today’s power windows have a safety sensor that will stop and reverse the travel of the glass if an object is detected. Besides why would a passerby be reaching into your parked car?

Tip of the week. If you’re driving along and your vehicle engine starts to sputter and when you look at the gas gauge you suddenly realize you forgot to fill up, you may be able to get a few extra meters out of the vapors in the tank. If traffic permits, gently swerve left to right within your lane. This can slosh enough fuel to the pump’s pick-

up at the bottom of the tank to get you up to a block or more of movement. It can make the difference between getting stuck in traffic and making it safely to the side of the road or even to a gas station if motoring spirits are smiling down on you.

Meaning of patience revealed for Mary

“That girl has the patience of Job,” Mother said. She said it often enough of my sister Audrey, and I had no idea who Job was, that I was determined to find out what the word patience meant. If Audrey had an abundance of it, maybe I could claim to have it too, since we were sisters, and it seemed to be something of great value.

And so one day, just before school was let out for the summer, I asked Miss Crosby if she would look up the word ‘patience’ in the big black dic-tionary that sat on the corner of her desk. She read me the description, which had big words like ‘ toler-ance and endurance’ in it. I was still none the wiser, and I decided Job was someone Mother knew in Renfrew,

because there certainly was nobody out in Northcote by the name of Job. At any rate, my older sister Audrey had the same trait as this fellow Job.

And then one day, a discussion around the supper table sent me into a panic, and I couldn’t even eat my piece of raspberry pie, which was my favourite. Audrey was finished at the Northcote School, and like so many girls from the farms around, that meant going off to Renfrew and do-ing housework for the rich people. I couldn’t stop the tears from roll-ing down my face right onto the pie in front of me. Audrey put her arm around my shoulders and told me that day was a long way off, and I wasn’t to fret about it. She was needed on the farm, she said, and that’s where she would be staying. I asked her to ‘promise and hope to die’ which was right up there in importance with ask-ing God for a special favour. She again assured me, she would be right at home for a long time to come.

After supper, and after the kitchen

had been redded up, I went out to the grape arbour and sat in the big two seater swing, and started to think about all the things I would miss if my beloved sister Audrey ever left me.

Who would sing to me at night when we went to bed? Whose arm would reach out across the bed roll, and keep me safe when the whippoor-wills sang their eerie songs when it was black as pitch outside, and I was terrified they would get in the house?

And who would sit with me in the long grass and pull dandelion stems, then split them and roll them down into tight curls, and make up stories about how the women of long, long ago got the idea of curling their hair from the dandelions?

And I thought of the many times Audrey and I stretched out on the grass on a summer’s day when the sky was full of soft white clouds. And we would “ see” dogs, fierce lions, and old men’s faces, as the clouds shifted taking on new shapes as the gentle wind pushed them into differ-

ent forms. And Audrey would make up stories about the things we read in the clouds, and often I would doze off, filled with a fierce love of a sister who found time to spend with a much younger sister, when there were other things she would much rather be do-ing.

It was Audrey who defied anyone at the Northcote School to pick on me...even bad Marguirite got to know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing if she made fun of my hand-me-down clothes, or my long red ringlets.

Wasn’t it Audrey who, when I asked, would sit with me in the very swing I was in at that moment, and tell me imaginary stories of far off lands, and people who spoke in dif-ferent tongues, and wore different clothes. And when I would say, ‘ tell me another one Audrey’, she would simply let out a long sigh, and begin another story.

And wasn’t it Audrey, who would take the book I had chosen from the

Renfrew Library, with big words I couldn’t read, and sit with me at the kitchen table before bedtime, and read to me, when I knew she would much rather be reading her own book?

And wasn’t it Audrey, even know-ing I had little talent, spent hours try-ing to teach me how to make French Knots, and daisies on the end of flour bag tea towels? And she would praise me and say how clever I was.

As I sat in the swing that day, see-ing in my mind’s eye, all the things my sister Audrey did for me, and the hours she spent with me, I knew then what mother meant when she said, “That girl has the patience of Job.” Audrey certainly, as far as I was con-cerned, had patience. Sadly, I never did find out who that guy Job was!
