Lest We Forget Today we remember the sacrifices made for this great country and we honour our veterans, and active military personnel. From Watershed's Fall Issue of 2019, we remember and recognize the Spirit of a Ship: A story of HMCS Skeena; of the battles fought and of the lives lost, and of a tradition spanning generations.... By David Newland Lieutenant (Navy) and Executive Officer of 116 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Skeena in Port Hope, Chris Barker has spent the last twenty-six years ensuring that the sacrifices of the fifteen seamen who lost their lives when HMCS Skeena was wrecked off Reykjavik in 1944 are never forgotten. HMCS Skeena was one of the first two ships commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy in 1931, along with HMCS Saguenay. During the Second World War, HMCS Skeena fought in the Battle of the Atlantic, escorting dozens of vital merchant marine convoys. She rescued the crews of four ships torpedoed by German U-boats, and shared credit for sinking U-588 off St. John’s in 1942.

Nancy Self of Tamarack Farm is one of the local producers working directly with Chef Hidde at Flame + Smith to bring the best of the best to their customers. Story by Signe Langford Photos by Johnny CY Lam... Since 2012, Nancy and Richard Self have been rehabilitating 380 acres of Northumberland County farmland that sat fallow for 60 years. Growing heirloom herbs, flowers and vegetables, Nancy explains, Our produce is vine-ripened, which means the produce is picked, packed and delivered on the same day. This has great appeal to Chef Zomer. Nancy and Richard raise organic produce, pasture-raised lamb, heritage pigs, and gold medal-winning maple syrup. They are great supporters of our restaurant they often dine with us and have been of great help with many of our projects. The love is mutual. We work with a selective group of chefs thought leaders who understand what we’re doing, says Nancy. Hidde is exactly the kind of chef we want to work with. The Self’s livestock is certified by A Greener World, an organization dedicated to protecting the wellbeing of land, livestock, farmers and consumers. Their maple syrup is also certified organic, and as Nancy explains, We focus on the health and wellbeing of the entire forest eco-system. https://watershedmagazine.com//a-fiery-passion-at-flame-s/ https://agreenerworld.org/nort/tamarack-farms-roseneath-on/

The countdown is on until the Winter Issue arrives... but gives us an opportunity to look back at some of our favourite winter features. Rise of the Small Town Press by Elizabeth Palermo... Restoring a niche market, indie presses, also known as the small press and the oft-quirky micropress, publish an influx of emergent voices. The revival of the do-it-yourself aesthetic empowers young writers, and at the same time allows seasoned writers and small presses to persist in the precarious business for the sheer love of beautiful prose and recording regional history. Thanks to independent publishers pressing on, more Canadian stories are being produced into physical books, folded corners and all. The hardest thing for small presses is getting authors known to readers. Seeking out and buying small press books, and requesting them at libraries, directly supports Canadian culture, and authors and book producers earning a wage for their art. Nobody else is going to keep our voice and stories alive for us, says Leigh Nash, Invisible Publishing. That’s what small presses do best. As humans, we’re built to tell stories.

Our Food & Drink Feature allows for our chef to highlight a number of local producers... for the Fall issue, Hidde Zomer from Flame + Smith frequently calls on Sebastian Chow and Nick Sorbara from Edwin County Farms Story by Signe Langford Photos by Johnny CY Lam... Nick Sorbara grew up on a hobby farm in Maple, just north of Toronto. I always knew I would be a farmer one day, he says, and four years ago he made the leap, leaving the day-to-day operations of his entertainment production company, Red Lab, for full-time farming. Today, Nick works with Sebastian Chow raising heirloom vegetables, grains, flowers, and about 50 head of beef Black Angus and Belted Galloways on the Sorbara family farm outside of Picton. My parents bought the farm 50 years ago, and they’ve been rehabilitating the land ever since, says Nick. On the 700-acre farm, all livestock is pastured; there are 50 acres of spelt and 20 acres of Red Fife wheat, and the woodlot yields about 750 litres of maple syrup. We grow the most interesting, most flavourful varieties of vegetables we can find, explains Nick. And with only two acres producing vegetables, we farm at a small enough scale that we can really monitor and assure they are the very best quality.

Foster M. Russell: Community Journalist and Publisher Story by Chris Cameron Illustration by Carl Wiens... Every story has three sides to it: yours, mine, and the facts. Foster M. Russell When they hanged Foster Russell in effigy in Port Hope on September 26, 1964, he did what any self-respecting journalist would do: he went back to his office and wrote an editorial. As owner and publisher of the Cobourg Sentinel-Star, Russell had come down on the wrong side of some union bosses who were attempting to organize the workers at a Port Hope factory. The fact was, he never minded coming down on the wrong side of anyone if it meant staying true to his convictions. Fast forward to the journalism of today, which is pure gospel to its adherents and fake news to its opponents. There are no absolutes except bias. We search hard for newspaper people like Foster Russell. To read more on Foster M. Russell's legacy; https://watershedmagazine.com//foster-m-russell-community/

Field Notes - Autumnal Dances by Terry Sprague Photo by Cecile Yarrow... The hiker could hear the rolling, trumpeting calls as he made his way across a field that late fall day. The voices unmistakably belonged to sandhill cranes, and they were flying in his direction. The two long-legged birds, taller than great blue herons, made their descent and landed gracefully only a few metres away. The lanky creatures looked the hiker up and down for a few seconds as though surprised by his presence. Satisfied that he was not a threat, they turned their attention to each other. The cranes stood face to face with outstretched wings and began a dance involving much head pumping and bowing, punctuated by huge leaps into the air. For more than five minutes, they twirled and bounced on their gangly legs while croaking and throwing their long necks around. Sandhill cranes mate for life, and their spirited dance plays an essential role in reaffirming this bond. But the ritual is usually reserved for spring as they prepare for nesting, and it was now late September. What was motivating this strange behaviour outside the nesting season?

Fence Posts by Dan Needles (playwright) Illustration by Shelagh Armstrong When the Spirit Moves... The quarantine has handed me the gift of unlimited time to finally get down to all this work with no excuse to slide into town or go back to the desk to meet a deadline. For the first time in four decades I have finally gotten around to chores that normally slip away forgotten every season. I have pruned and staked tomatoes before bottom rot strikes. The apple trees are pruned. Three bush cords of firewood are stacked beside the house. Fifty meat birds and two pigs lie in the freezer. The henhouse even has a new coat of paint. The term we use in the writing profession for such a burst of non-essential activity is avoidance behaviour. I read everywhere that the pandemic is going to change the way we live and work for a long time to come. I have my doubts about that. The headlong rush with all its noise and fuss will inevitably return. In the meantime, I will remember the summer of 2020 as a very odd and productive blip that forced me to pause and smell the roses and prune them for once. https://watershedmagazine.com/depart/when-the-spirit-moves/

Watershed Presents Ed's House : Hospice Care Centre Under the umbrella of Community Care Northumberland, Ed’s House will welcome palliative care patients and their families with open arms. When Stewart Richardson tours people around Ed’s House, there’s a sense of boyish excitement in his voice. And well there should be. After four long years of planning and fundraising, his dream and the dream of so many volunteers and Northumberland health care professionals to build a hos...pice for palliative care patients has become a reality. Ed’s House will also become a hub for community outreach and learning, a place where health care workers and volunteers can channel their knowledge and understanding of palliative care and share that knowledge with the Northumberland community. While Stewart Richardson is only one of a team of volunteers who over the years raised $10.3 million, his enthusiasm is representative of the pride and satisfaction that comes with the completion of a massive community undertaking. Thanks to the extraordinary volunteer efforts, the provincial government’s support and the generosity of the community, Ed’s House will open with six palliative care beds, but it is designed with the future in mind. Eventually the hospice will accommodate ten patients. Northumberland County David Piccini Town of Cobourg, Ontario https://watershedmagazine.com/depa/knockin-on-heavens-door/

It's hard to believe we are putting the Winter Issue together while the temperature hovers at double digits for the next few days. To put you in the winter-y spirit... Here is a chilly look back at last Winter's Beyond the Garden Gate - where a few gourmet pals got together on a frozen lake for food, friendship and to celebrate a Canadian pastime. Friendship on a Frozen Lake... Story and Photos by Johnny CY Lam What does it take to persuade a group of men to spend a freezing afternoon on a windswept lake staring down a fishing hole? Apparently a couple of text messages and the promise of fresh fish, cooked and enjoyed al fresco. Or should that be ‘al freezo'?

Letters to the Editor - Thank you for choosing Watershed as your magazine to explore, discover and of course... experience. WATERSHED EXCELLENCE: We are so fortunate to have a publication like Watershed in this ever-growing area that matches the standards of world class quarterlies. Your advertisers, with their respected reputations and their beautifully designed ads complement each issue. Congratulations and keep growing your distribution as you maintain excellence. I believ...e your audience is larger than you realize. Ron Waddling, via email WATERSHED: A FAVOURITE READ Prior to COVID-19, I would get up early and straight away start on some artwork, photography, or a cookery project that would keep me involved until hunger intervened. Life has changed in many ways. During these pandemic times, mornings feel soothing to me when I take a leisurely breakfast outside on my deck surrounded by flowers and greenery, with a good read and this morning my read was Watershed! Over the years, Watershed has always been a favourite read, filled with interesting stuff fascinating topics, cheery short stories, up-to-date info, pretty sketches, and beautiful photography! This issue I found all this, and more; this time I loved the section, Watershed Reads! The format was inspired. The little gems about books (rather interesting choices) and the charming narratives by the contributors are absolutely delightful. Hope to see more of these in upcoming issues. I was also enthralled by the story about Canada’s Pioneer Botanist, Catharine Parr Traill. It was particularly interesting because this season I have begun to appreciate the many varieties of wildflowers around the County. Thanks to Terry Sprague, I’m getting to know a bit more about bird life. In fact, anything about the natural world is always fascinating. So thanks again for bringing us such a good read!

BEYOND THE GARDEN GATE... In the hills of Northumberland, an inventive and visionary young man has established a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. And there’s Wi-Fi, too. Meet Jakob Jenkins, The Off the Grid Kid.... Story by Micol Marotti Photos by Alana Lee Photography Atop one of Northumberland’s picturesque hills, where expansive views of Lake Ontario give way to carpets of undulating grasses and meadow flowers, Jakob Jenkins has built himself an off-grid house, a barn where he raises almost a hundred chickens, and some raised beds that are teeming with vegetables. Although micro-farming and even off-grid living are not unusual in Northumberland, what makes this scene unique is that Jakob just recently turned fifteen years old. His tiny house, 200 square feet of lofted man-cave on his family’s 25-acre property, feels anything but cramped. It’s light and airy with finished walls, large insulated windows and laminate flooring. There’s a surprisingly large loft space used as a bedroom with an additional wall-mounted desk and a large open concept main floor complete with a small closet, a microwave, and a mini fridge. I think there is nothing better than eating a meal that you have made yourself, in a place that you have built. I strongly recommend it.

By Land, Air and Water, Nature Comes Alive in Fall Story by Norm Wagenaar Autumn Leaves... Every fall, Mother Nature puts on a spectacular show of colour. Behind the scenes, she has a team of chemicals working around the clock to orchestrate her brilliant performance. Fall Flocks Some folks gripe about Canada geese, particularly when they produce prodigious amounts of park-fowling poo. Complain as we might, wouldn’t we miss the grand sight of their migrations in the fall, when they gather and fly in long V-shaped flocks, inspiring those of a certain age to hum their favourite Neil Young song? Squirrel Nutkin During the late summer and fall, the eastern grey squirrel, the species we see most often in backyards and parks, busily prepares for the cold winter months by gathering and storing food seeds, nuts, acorns, tree buds, berries, leaves, parts of pine cones in an activity known as scatter hoarding. Fish on the Net Stroll down McKibbon street to Corbett’s dam in Municipality of Port Hope, Ontario on a fall day, and you’ll see coho, chinook, and possibly even Atlantic salmon jumping into the opening of the fishway as they make their way upstream to spawn in the tributaries of the Ganaraska River. This is a remarkable phenomenon on many levels. Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority watershed biologist Lindsay Champagne points out that most of the coho and chinook salmon, introduced from the Pacific, are not hatchery origin fish but were born in the river and survive to return from Lake Ontario as adults. It is believed that significant natural reproduction is occurring, and [the Ganaraska River] is one of the dominant producers of wild chinook salmon on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Watch in awe. https://watershedmagazine.com//by-land-air-and-water-natu/

A Fiery Passion at Flame + Smith Chef Hidde Zomer is serious about the alchemy of fire and food at this Prince Edward County gem. Good chefs understand the magic of playing with fire. At Bloomfield’s Flame + Smith restaurant, Chef Hidde Zomer combines woodfire cooking with open flames and embers to create a sizzling dining experience.... Story by Signe Langford, Photos by Johnny C Y Lam When they created their restaurant, Hidde and his wife Sarah, who is the business’s co-owner, worked with Toronto design firm Stacklab to convert the 120-year-old former forge/dairy/roadhouse into two spacious rooms oozing with rustic charm: exposed, rough-hewn rafters, sliding barn doors, and a Scandi-style wood-burning stove warming a couple of comfortable tub chairs. Come winter, it will be the fierce PEC sense of community that will help everyone farmers, bakers, shop owners, and the Zomers weather this storm. As Sarah said, When you have a lot on the line, you hustle, and I keep reminding myself that a high tide raises all ships. https://watershedmagazine.com//a-fiery-passion-at-flame-s/ Prince Edward County Bloomfield Ontario Prince Edward County Chamber of Commerce Bay of Quinte

Cultural Currents with Luke Despatie Story by Meghan Sheffield For Municipality of Port Hope, Ontario landscape artist Luke Despatie, picking up the paintbrush has offered a new way of seeing the world. After a career as an award-winning graphic designer, he’s found that the shift to this method of portraying his surroundings has allowed him to see them in a different light.... Although Luke teaches typography in Fleming College’s Graphic Design Visual Communication program, he hadn’t really worked with paint since his early days as an art student at Sheridan College. Three years ago, he had the urge to create a one-off piece a winter scene on Rice Lake for a Fleming faculty art auction. As he worked to get the texture of the snow on the frozen lake, the end result took on the impressionistic brushwork style that has become a constant in his paintings. His work has since garnered acceptance and awards at juried shows around Ontario and a successful debut at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair. Local residents recognize that the scenes are rooted in real places, and these become even more familiar through Luke’s paintings visible brushstrokes and just-so light capture what the scene feels like as well as what it looks like. Once you start seeing in that different way, seemingly uninteresting things like gas stations and lonely car taillights and old barns look more interesting, Luke says. The rolling hills in Northumberland can be quite spectacular. http://www.lukedespatie.com/ https://watershedmagazine.com/departments/luke-despatie/

Our Food & Drink feature with Flame + Smith highlights the work of local producers Justin da Silva, Jessica Nettleton, Mallory Jones of Matron Fine Beer Story by Signe Langford Photos by Johnny CY Lam... Friends for a decade and hospitality industry pros, Justin da Silva, Jessica Nettleton, and Mallory Jones founded their Bloomfield brewery in 2018. With Jessica and Mallory handling the day-to-day operations and sales, Justin is able to focus on creating innovative brews using local ingredients. We use at least 50% or more Ontario hops, but they’re hard to find says Mallory. Beer is very tied to the latest trends, but we’re interested in making a truly local product that is also lower alcohol. Our highest is 6%, most are about 4%. Being drunk is not the goal; it’s about enjoying really good beer. Grains are locally grown: the barley is from Barn Owl Malt on the Bay of Quinte and the hops from Pleasant Valley Hops - Ontario Grown in Hillier; the yeast comes from Escarpment Laboratories in Guelph. It’s a perfect pairing with Flame + Smith. We are just loving what they do, says Hidde. All their beers are made with Ontario ingredients and simply beautiful; we sell so much of it at our restaurant. And we all drink it after a long day in the kitchen. www.matronfinebeer.ca https://watershedmagazine.com//a-fiery-passion-at-flame-s/
