Controversial bylaw changes sent back to the committee drawing board By Craig Bakay
News — In one of the busier meetings in recent memory, Central Frontenac Council met in Arden last week with three bylaws on the agenda for potential “updates.” On tap were draft Noise Bylaw, Refuse Bylaw and Safe Properties Bylaw changes. Of the three, the Safe Properties Bylaw is by far the most controversial. “Let’s call a spade a spade,” said Coun. Jamie Riddell. “This is a property standards bylaw.” Riddell was of course referring to previous attempts to push through a property standards bylaw. When that met with public outcry, many of the clauses ended up appearing in the proposed updates for the Safe Properties Bylaw. Bylaw enforcement officer Ken Gilpin, who authored many of the changes, tried a straw man argument saying that property standards bylaws and safe property bylaws are administered under different provincial statutes but that seemed to have little effect. While there were letters supporting the bylaws (Terry Kennedy supported all three as well as urging an updated signage bylaw and Gord Brown wrote in support of the Refuse Bylaw), there were two letters against the Safe Properties amendments that seemed to resonate with councilors. th “Please, Central Frontenac Council, do not pass a lawn care bylaw unless it allows for and encourages The clouds threatened to rain on the Verona Lions’ 65th annual Jamboree last weekend wild flower gardens, dandelions for honeybees and but there was also plenty of sunshine and smiles just like every year.

outlaw properly maintained compost heaps, thus increasing soil fertility and keeping vegetable waste out of the landfill. “Please expand the definition of ‘pet’ to welcome people who choose a variety of animal companions (within reasonable limits of size and safety) — please do not discriminate against someone who loves a duck as much as a dog.” And then there was Ross Halliday, a new Hinchinbrooke resident who moved here recently with the idea of doing a little farming. Halliday sent a six-page letter outlining his opposition to the Safe Properties Bylaw and got himself on the agenda to address Council in person. “(Under this bylaw) I can’t grow hay, and would have to weed my marsh,” Halliday said. “The creative re-use of materials on every single property would be in violation (and much of the Bylaw) is in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. “In its present form, this Bylaw would create significant damages to both residents and the municipality.” Several councilors agreed that there were significant flaws in the proposed bylaws but perhaps the most succinct was Coun. Phillip Smith. “I’m not prepared to accept these bylaws as presented tonight,” Smith said. “I think they need to go to a committee to be gone over paragraph by paragraph.” Smith moved a resolution to that effect (seconded by Coun. Tom Dewey) and Council agreed. The bylaws will go to committee for further study before being brought back to Council.

2 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, July 21, 2016
Facilities update report suggests busy summer/ fall for Central Frontenac staff News — One of the more interesting reports that sort of got lost in the jammed agenda of last week’s Central Frontenac Council meeting in Arden came from Manager of Development Services/Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven. It was really a to-do list but Neven’s ‘Facilities Update’ provides a surprisingly detailed snapshot of what state the Township buildings, ball fields and playgrounds are in, as well as a listing for grants applied for. “It’s a somewhat new report that I’ve kept in a desk drawer to remind me of what needs doing,” Neven said. “We’ve had similar reports in the past and we’ve done a review of all our facilities. “We’ll polish that up and bring it forward (at a future date).” For example Capital Projects listed include: • New Olden Ball Field — capital budget of $37,965, fencing and lighting to be installed, pricing currently being solicited, expected completion October-December • Big Gull Boat Ramp — capital budget of $20,000, repair of boat ramp, approvals and
permits applied for, expected completion AugustSeptember • Sharbot Lake Ball Field — Capital budget of $30,000, originally to replace old outhouses with bathroom facility but now to go towards new building containing change and warming area, bathrooms and canteen for new outdoor rink, plans now being produced, expected completion date summer 2017 • Mountain Grove Library — Capital budget of $220,000, addition to existing fire hall to house library, plans now being produced, expected completion December. • Parham Library shelving — Capital budget of $31,000, completed • Kennebec Hall range hood — Capital budget of $20,000, pricing now received for new commercial range hood, expected completion August-September • Parham Fair Playground — Capital budget of $5,000, installation of new chain link fence around playground, pricing received, expected completion August-September • Parham Fair Canteen — Capital budget of $6,000, relocated pressure system for canteen

Review of OP, zoning bylaw should be ready by the end of Council’s mandate News — Frontenac County Planner Joe Gallivan, who also serves as Central Frontenac Township’s de facto planner, told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Arden that a review of both the Township’s Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw should be complete by the end of this Council’s mandate in 2 ½ years. The review had been put on hold until Frontenac County’s own Official Plan was completed, which also had the effect of making the County the official approval authority for the Township’s planning needs. As part of his report, Gallivan also noted some of the details from the County’s recently completed Private Roads Study, as they pertain to Central Frontenac Township. For example, there are 166 private lanes in Central but only 13 of them have space for five or more new lots. In fact, 121 of the private lanes have no more room for any more lots. Gallivan predicts the Township will need 580 lots by the year 2036, of which on 185 can come from the
existing private roads network. ••• The OPP won’t be using the former Hinchinbrooke Public School for its training exercises any more. Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven told Council that once a story expressing Council’s displeasure at the OPP using the building for free appeared in The Frontenac Gazette, the OPP informed him they weren’t interested in using it any more if there was a fee involved. ••• Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald was appointed to the Frontenac County Seniors Task Force, which is looking at developing new seniors housing projects in each of its four member townships. Of the four townships, Frontenac Islands is the only one to have land designated for such a project. County Clerk Janette Amini told Central Frontenac Council that Frontenac Islands and South Frontenac are looking at rental units going for market value but subsidized units might be more appropriate in Central. She said there is grant money available for subsidized units.
Mayor Frances Smith told Council that on the subject of seniors housing, there is an open house at the newly renovated Sharbot Lake Seniors Residents July 24 from 4-6 p.m. ••• “How do we determine when the grass needs cutting?” Coun. Brent Cameron asked Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven. Specifically,
Cameron was interested in Piccadilly Hall. “There’s no defined standard,” Neven said. “It’s usually ‘as needed’ and you’re right, Pic Hall did need it. “We were having some mechanical problems so it was a little late in getting done.” ••• Cameron also wanted to know

what’s happening with Westport Road. “Thanks for the work on Struthers Road,” he told Public Works Foreman Rick Commodore. “(But) I was wondering about our section of Westport Road. “It’s showing its age.” “That’s one of the roads we’ll have to look at,” Gould said. “It is getting pretty rough, also Crow Lake Road.”

VACATIONING IN SOUTH FRONTENAC? Nothing can compare to a week at the lake and in South Frontenac we have an abundance of clear lakes, beautiful trails and great cycling. The one thing that can dampen your vacation is the unsightly mess of a can or plastic bag floating by or the sounds of wildlife munching happily on garbage that was not properly disposed of. We hope you enjoy your stay but ask that you please regard our Garbage and Recycling policies. Dumping garbage at the side of the road or at the gates of a landfill on a Sunday night is not only unacceptable, it creates a huge problem for Township staff when their time could be better spent elsewhere. Whether you are a cottage owner, renter or day tripper, please become familiar with collection dates and locations. By all means, take your memories with you but please don’t leave your garbage behind! Any questions; contact Solid Waste Management at 613 376-3027 X 4330
GARBAGE & RECYCLING – A FEW DEGREES OF SEPARATION They don‘t like each other so please don’t put them together! As there is one truck picking up the garbage then another picking up your recycling, we ask that there be a few feet of separation between them. A recycle box hidden behind garbage bags may not be seen or vice versa. A bag of garbage being set on top of a recycle bin may be misconstrued as someone forgot the rule about no bagged recycling and left. When your garbage or recycling has been left, please ask yourself why would it have been left? If we all follow the simple guidelines of collection, it will make everyone’s job easier.
Measures adopted to slow down traffic through Crow Lake Village By Craig Bakay
News — Central Frontenac Council hopes that they have finally found a solution to Crow Lake Village residents’ concerns about speeding through the hamlet in the summer months. Council approved the installation of seasonal speed bumps in the area of Oaks Cottages on Crow Lake at its regular meeting last week in Arden. Karen Leahy, owner of the Oaks, thanked Council saying the residents of the tiny hamlet appreciate its efforts to address a problem they say they see daily. Filing in in the absence of a Public Works Manager, Foreman Steven Gould recommended Council adopt a proposal from BMR Signs. This will include six speed bump signs, two bump ahead signs and six, 6-feet rubber bumps for a total of $1,433.54. Gould said they also looked at other suppliers but the price was over $5,700. He said the bumps from BMR are maintenance free, extremely durable recycled rubber that “will not warp, crack or rot.” The bumps are able to withstand wide temperature extremes and are painted with polyurethane yellow reflective paint with built-in catseye reflectors for added visibility. Two 1.25-inch underside channels allow for cables and provide drainage. “They are good for weights up to 6,000 pounds,” he said. The speed bumps are anchored into the ground with metal spikes and will be removed during snow plow season,
he said. Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald expressed concern about the rated weight limit. “The weight capacity on the bumps is 6,000 pounds, which is not much,” MacDonald said. “What happens when you’re one over?” Gould said the bumps are of a narrow design that should not affect heavier vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances but cars and motorcycles will have to slow down. “Fire trucks can straddle these,” said Mayor Frances Smith. Coun. Tom Dewey wondered if all the traffic issues in Crow Lake Village have been addressed. “If we do have speed bumps, we still have a parking issue there that we’ll have to deal with,” Dewey said. “We will be monitoring it,” said Smith. “It is an issue.” Leahy told Council that parking near the Oaks hasn’t been an issue. “We have ample parking,” she said, suggesting that reports of parking problems were likely related to an incident at the boat launch, which she said doesn’t happen often. Traffic through the hamlet has been an ongoing concern for several years, coming to a head last summer when a delegation headed by Leahy came to Council seeking relief. Reduced speed zones and increased signage seemed to have little effect although Leahy did concede that the presence of the electronic speed display was somewhat effective, but only from the direction it was facing.
RECREATION AND LEISURE SURVEY The Township is conducting a survey to get a better understanding of community needs in respect to recreation and leisure activities. The survey along with additional public consultation will help create a new recreation plan that will be presented to Council this fall. By completing this survey, you will be entered into a draw to win a prize pack including a Fitbit charge HR, Private hour of ice at the Frontenac Community Arena and some Township swag. The survey can be accessed online at southfrontenac.net under the Recreation Activities page or directly via www.surveymonkey.com/r/SFrecplan

Teachers head back to school to learn about ‘innovating and integrating with iPads’ By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – It may be July, but some teachers in Ontario headed back to school last week. Educators across the province educated themselves through the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Summer Academy; here in Kingston, a variety of teachers learned about using iPads in their classrooms. “We are transforming learning and transforming relationships using technology,” explained Carrie Daniels, a teacher with the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board and one of the facilitators of the ‘Innovating and Integrating with iPads’ course that took place at Lancaster Public School. “We have low tech mixed with high tech and we haven’t thrown out the reading and writing and creating with pencil and painting or toys, we are just using technology to enhance all that.” The three-day course taught kindergarten to Grade 3 teachers to embrace technology and gave them a basic understanding of apps like Twitter, Pic Collage, Green Screen Wizard, Lego Movie Maker and more. “We are using all of these apps to build stories and then share them with a wider audience,” explained Daniels. “For
example, Green Screen Wizard, can put the students anywhere they want to be to tell a historical story or to explore a specific place, Pic Collage is great for demonstrating learning or showing a series of tasks like how to get dressed for winter or for showing the steps of a math problem. It can all be used to integrate with learning.” Engagement and collaboration are the main focuses of the course and in order to teach educators about that, the facilitators worked to encourage engagement and collaboration within the course. “We are showing them that if a four or five year old child can do it, they can do it too,” said Anja Kitchen who also helped facilitate the course. “This isn’t about using iPads to play games, it is all about building and using higher level thinking skills to put projects together.” For Kelly Boriotis, a teacher at Welbourne Public School, the course was also about looking for new ideas to get students engaged and she definitely felt that these strategies would achieve that. “It has been really great,” she said. “I think this also taps into different strengths that different students may have depending on their learning style and needs and I think it will engage students that may have
special needs and may give them other avenues to demonstrate their understanding.” The facilitators also worked to show teachers that they don’t need a huge budget in order to use these apps and the technology. “We have cost effective ways to apply all of this in the classroom like using green paper from the dollar store for green screens and using straws from Starbucks to hold up props on the screen,” said Daniels. “We even got iPad stands for two dollars. We don’t want them to go back to their schools and feel like they can’t do this on their own because they don’t have the resources.” All of the skills taught at the course can be applied to existing curriculum and can even be applied up to Grade 8. Daniels hopes that the teachers will use the skills they learned to extend the learning in their classrooms and she is very encouraged by how well all of the teachers responded. “These teachers have surpassed our expectations. We are approaching them in a similar way that we approach the students and they have really embraced it,” she said. “Research shows that when teachers are passionate about learning, kids become passionate too and this really contributes to that passion.”

In Our Opinion
Saying goodbye to an old friend, roommate and band mate — Paul Robertson There was an announcement on Facebook by Shaw media quoting their president. Of course I began to wonder, still believing Paul held that position. I very much doubted he’d have lost his job, knowing his capabilities, and guessed that he’d been kicked upstairs or retired. And then I found out. He’d lost a battle with pancreatic cancer. I knew Paul and I would hit it off when I first entered our room as there was a banjo case on his bed and a guitar case under it. Before long there were late-night jam sessions and soon a full-fledged band, featuring a heavy dose of bluegrass at Paul’s urging. We had some great gigs. We remained friends and bandmates through university despite him being a business major and me being in fine art. After University, we continued a friendship in Toronto when he worked for General Foods and I worked at Exhibition Stadium. I got him Blue Jays tickets and he got me hooked on Maxwell House coffee. When I moved back to rural Ontario, we kind of lost touch until a few years ago when my young lad was looking
Column — Last week, I turned 62. Now that’s no big momentous occasion. I only mention it because the day after, I found out an old friend had died. To make things worse, he died two years ago and I was only just finding out about it. We were the same age but he didn’t make it to 60. His name was Paul Robertson and we were roommates in Saugeen-Maitland Hall at the University of Western Ontario (now Western University). Now I doubt anybody reading this knew Paul. But, everyone reading this will know his work. You see, Paul was the President of Shaw Media, the parent corporation of Corus Entertainment, which owns CKWS TV as well as a host of other media outlets and venues. It was a huge job Paul landed. It was rather a strange discovery.

for a job in broadcasting. Paul took him on a guided tour of the Corus facilities and encouraged him to apply for any position that came up and use his name as a reference. Paul and I corresponded for a time, mostly about music. But as my marriage crumbled, we lost touch. I always meant to get back in touch, expecting to hear from him any time, but now I know why he didn’t call or email. I managed to find a tribute story the Shaw people put together on him and they called him “an affable, funny man with a calm demeanour, whose leadership style was decidedly open and nurturing, according to those who worked with him.” I can attest to that, he was a great guy not the greatest banjo player in the world, but a lot of fun to be in a band with. The last time we talked, he said to me “I remember that band all too well. You and Al (Albright, the other guitar player) made me play the same three chords to All Along the Watchtower while you soloed for hours. Save me a seat at the jam upstairs buddy. This time, I’ll chord while you solo.

Pokémon Go is about more than just catching little monsters Editorial - In the past week, the world has gone crazy for Pokémon Go. If you have no idea what we are talking about or what this game is, here is a brief summary: the game, based on the 1990 Nintendo classic, has now been developed for mobile devices and uses those devices’ ability to track time and location to allow players to catch Pokémon (which translates to pocket monsters) in various locations. The goal is to catch all 150 Pokémon; its popularity is being widely attributed to the nostalgia many players have for the game, but it is also gaining a new fan base among younger players. The game is also getting a lot of attention for some not so great reasons; players are getting injured trying to ‘catch’ Pokémon, especially when they aren’t paying attention to their surroundings, and in some cases players are being accused of trespassing when they show up at Pokémon locations at all hours. But we think there are a lot of benefits to the new game. The biggest benefit we see in Pokémon Go is that it is actually encouraging people to get outside. According to early reports, it has been very successful in motivating players who usually spend most of their time indoors in front of screens to get outside and explore ravines, parks and other natural areas. The game also has walking requirements in order to catch certain Pokémon (e.g. you have to walk 10 kilometers to get this Pokémon), which encourages physical activity. The game can also be valuable for younger players, and older for that matter, in teaching mapping skills and how to follow GPS coordinates. It can also help with financial skills in terms of being aware of data usage on a mobile device and what it means when you go over your allotted usage. Pokémon Go can also be educational. Some institutions, like the Holocaust Museum, have complained because Pokémon are located at their location and they feel that is inappropriate. While we agree that this location isn’t suitable, many other educational spots can be found. In some cases, places like fire departments are using the fact that they have a Pokémon outside of their building to provide more education about fire safety to players. In other areas, players are actually encouraged to learn more about their surroundings as they search for Pokémon and that knowledge can help them locate the monsters faster. So instead of focusing on the negative aspects of this game, we should be looking at the teaching potential that exists in a game that is so motivating. It really is about more than just catching little monsters.

Upside-down: on crazy ambitions and (literally) changing perspectives Hollie Pratt-Campbell REPORTER
@hollieprattcamp
Column - When I was in Grade 2, Winston Churchill moved to the old Victoria school (now the Queen’s School of Business building) for a year while asbestos was removed from the walls. Or something like that - I can’t remember exactly why we temporarily relocated and, being seven, didn’t really care. What I did care about was the fact that the Victoria school had an enormous fence that went around the edge of the property. My friend Christina knew how to do handstands against the fence and I was determined to learn. “Look down at the ground as you
kick up,” she told me. That was the piece of advice that led to success, and within a few days both of us were spending most of our recesses upsidedown. It was hard to articulate why at the time, but being inverted was at once calming and exhilarating. I was always sad when recess ended and I was forced to go back to the boring old two-feet-on-the-ground life. Over time, of course, I developed new favourite recess activities, as kids tend to do. But nearly 13 years later, I walked into my first yoga class, where I rediscovered the benefits of inversions and other ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ poses from the perspective of an adult. I’ve never been a particularly spiritual person. The mental/physical connection experienced during the practice of yoga is about as close as I get to anything in this realm, but I do
find it to be quite powerful. Yoga helps me control my anxiety as much as it keeps my body fit. My favourite poses are probably still inversions. With practice, I became able to do headstand sans wall, and often maintain it for a full minute or so. Most people see this as a physical accomplishment, but in reality it’s more mental – it’s about coming to the realization that standing on your head and hands or forearms is really not that different from standing on your feet. You’re equally stable, just experiencing the world from a different perspective. Concentrating on and having faith in this stability is key. My second favourite category of poses is hip openers, particularly pigeon. Yogic philosophy says that we carry a lot of emotion in our hips. I realize this sounds like hippy dippy hogwash and I’m always tempted to
roll my eyes when I hear someone say it. On the other hand, there is a release that is felt during deep hip openers that, like headstand, is easily more mental than physical. I can enter a pose with a frantic, racing mind, breathe through it for a few minutes and come out feeling completely calm – comparable to waking up after a good long sleep, or a shot of wasabi to the sinuses when you’re congested. At 35 weeks pregnant, I’m able to get deeper into hip openers than ever, as my body is producing the hormone relaxin in preparation for childbirth. Muscles and joints, particularly in the hip area, become more flexible to allow the baby to pass through. Other poses, like headstand, are trickier because your centre of gravity is thrown off. For my first pregnancy, I pretty much gave up all physical activity about halfway through, including any remotely difficult yoga poses. This
time, I’ve been determined not to take that route, and one of the challenges I set for myself was to continue a headstand practice throughout the full 40 weeks. I realize this probably sounds a bit silly and self-indulgent, and maybe it is. But I also think pregnancy is an important time to remind oneself that different perspectives are attainable – and they’re not strange or dangerous. After all, when a baby is born, your life is turned upside down in a way that is far more profound than a physical inversion. Those who follow my Instagram (hollieprattcamp) know that so far, I’m still headstanding. Admittedly, I’m sort of proud of this accomplishment, but at the same time it’s not all that surprising. After all, with the right mindset it’s really no different than standing on my two feet, which I can also still do with confidence…most of the time, anyway.

Kingston plans large outdoor event to ‘live stream’ Hip’s final concert By Bill Hutchins
News – The City of Kingston has announced a massive outdoor
celebration to coincide with The Tragically Hip’s final hometown concert. “This band means a lot to us
and a lot to Kingston,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. In addition to proclaiming August 20 as The Tragically Hip Day
in Kingston, the city plans to set up giant screens around Market Square to live stream the band’s performance at the K-Rock Centre, just three blocks away. “This is an opportunity for everyone who wasn’t able to get a ticket to come out and show their support,” said Mayor Paterson, who introduced the motion to unanimous council support July 12. The motion states that Kingston “wants to recognize the band’s contribution to the music industry, the Kingston community and Canada by providing fans with an opportunity to celebrate the band.” Councillors say it will be a bit-
tersweet event. The band’s Man Machine Poem Canadian-only tour was announced this spring following news that lead singer Gord Downie is battling terminal brain cancer. The tour will kick off July 22 in Victoria, B.C. and wrap up in Kingston on Saturday, August 20. Kingston’s 6,000-seat arena is sold out for the 8 p.m. concert, but the city is expecting another 10,000 fans will gather nearby for free to watch the concert on several portable screens that will be set up on the historic square and adjoining streets, which will be closed to traffic during the evening show.

Kingston plans large outdoor event to ‘live stream’ Hip’s final concert Continued from page 12
The traditional Saturday farmer’s market will be displaced during the daylong set up, but vendors will be given a make-up date at no cost on Monday, August 1 (Civic Holiday). Mayor Paterson says behind-thescenes organizing began several weeks ago in partnership with Downtown Kingston BIA, Kingston Accommodation Partners, and local emergency responders. He says the city received the band’s support to stage the outdoor celebration with “high production quality,” adding the CBC intends to use footage of the community gathering and other pre-taped scenes from Kingston during its national broadcast. The city will spend up to $150,000 to stage the outdoor event, tapping in to the CBC network’s live coverage of the concert.
“I think this is a great opportunity for Kingston to showcase how much the band means to us,” the mayor added. Councillors were quick to embrace the idea. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Coun. Ryan Boehme, adding the citysponsored event should avoid spillover parties in other neighbourhoods. Coun. Jim Neill also supported the motion but raised concerns about crowd, traffic and parking congestion as thousands of people converge downtown – both inside the arena and near it. “How are we going to accommodate them?” Coun. Neill predicted “crazy, crazy gridlock” for cars and public transit. He wondered why other sites such as Fort Henry Hill, Lion’s Civic Gardens or the Memorial Centre weren’t considered, giving Hip fans an opportunity to gather without clogging the downtown core. “Typically when there’s a sold out concert
there’s zero parking for six blocks.” Coun. Neill urged the city to open the Memorial Centre with an additional screen for fans, calling it a fitting location since it was home to the Hip’s first largescale concert. The mayor says other locations to stage

Owners and dogs enjoy a week away at summer camp By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – The saying goes, ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’, but Genevieve Landis knows that isn’t true. “You’d be surprised how much a dog of any age can learn if you just take the time to teach them,” she said.
Landis is the organizer behind Mr. Spot Dog Camp, a camp that gives owners and dogs of all ages a chance to attend camp together, play together and even learn together. “I went to a camp like this in the United States about 16 years ago and I had such a great time,” said Landis. “There were so many activities and so many new things to try with my dog. I always thought
it was really neat and I had looked around Ontario, but there was nothing really similar, so I decided to start my own.” Landis started the camp last summer and after a successful run, she decided to run it again this year. The camp, run out of St. Lawrence College, invites owners and dogs to attend for a week. They stay in residence at the college, eat
their meals with other campers and participate in a series of classes with their K-9 companions throughout the days. “Basically it is a camp that allows you to come with your dog and develop a special bond with them or spend more time with them,” said Landis. “It is also a great way to try new activities with your dog and find out what you both enjoy doing.” Activities range from obedience classes to agility training to less serious activities like teaching
tricks or dance sessions. For pet owner Lois Brown, the camp showed her and her dog Kizil that K-9 disc was something they enjoyed. “It is kind of like Frisbee, but the disc is softer for the dog,” explained Brown. “We both really enjoy playing with it and we’ve been having a great time. The dog dancing was also a lot of fun.” Brown, who is from Thornhill, heard about the camp from a friend and she was interested in the variety of activities it offered. Continued on page 15

Owners and dogs enjoy a week away at summer camp Continued from page 14
“It gives you an opportunity to taste test a bunch of different activities with your dog,” she said. “You can learn what they like and what you like and we also wanted to work towards service dog level so we did some obedience classes too.” Brown is one of 25 campers that attended the camp this year and some participants came from as far away as Sudbury or Quebec to take part. Landis was impressed with the turnout, but not surprised. “Pets and dogs in particular have now become more a part of the family,” she said. “And with
that, people want to be more active with their dogs and build a better relationship with them. That is so important in terms of getting the most out of having a dog in your life.” Landis has dogs of her own and while she would love to spend a week with them at camp, she finds having them there while she is running the camp challenging. Instead, she just enjoys watching the progression of other owners with their pets. “I love seeing people having such a great time and then hearing them share the success stories at lunch and hearing how proud they are of themselves and their dog,” she said. “It is really rewarding to see.”

Tourtiere meatballs with maple-cranberry glaze a great appetizer
Tourtiere, a savoury Quebeçois meat pie, has become a dinner musthave for many across Canada. Here we’ve incorporated the flavours into easy-to-make meatballs and added a cranberry glaze for festive noshing. Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Makes about 42 meatballs Preparation instructions: Meatballs • 8 oz (250 g) mushrooms • 1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped onion • 1-1/2 lb (750 g) lean ground beef • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) each dried sage leaves, thyme leaves and celery salt
•
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each ground allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg • 3/4 cup (175 mL) packed mashed potato (1 potato) Glaze • 1 cup (250 mL) smooth jellied cranberry sauce • 1/4 cup (50 mL) each barbecue sauce and water • 2 tbsp (25 mL) maple syrup In food processor, pulse mushrooms and onion until evenly ground, stopping often to scrape down side. Place in large bowl; add beef, sage, thyme, celery salt, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add potato; mix well with your hands. Shape into approximately 42 meatballs 1-1/2 inches (2.5 cm). Arrange racks in top and bottom third of oven. Spray or oil two large rimmed baking sheets. Place meat-
balls on baking sheet. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven, switching racks half way through, until meatballs are brown and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Let stand on baking sheets for three minutes. Remove to large serving bowl. Meanwhile, in medium skillet, over medium-low heat, combine cranberry, barbecue sauce, water and maple syrup, stirring often, until melted and fairly smooth. If desired, stir in more water, a tablespoon (15 mL) at a time. Pour over meatballs and stir gently to coat. Serve with toothpicks. Tip: Make meatballs ahead, bake and cool on sheets; refrigerate in sealed container up to three days or freeze. Warm meatballs in microwave for seven minutes. Prepare glaze as above; pour over meatballs, stir to
coat. Serve warm. Nutritional information (one meatball when recipe makes 42): • Protein: 4 grams • Fat: 1 gram

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) of the U.S. recently started rating vehicle headlamps in terms of their ability to help us see down the road in safety. There is probably no one area of a vehicle that generates more comments, and specifically more complaints than headlamps. Either they’re not effective enough or they blind oncoming drivers. With our aging driving population and the almost epidemic increase of diabetes with its associated vision problems, getting a vehicle with effective lamps is a crucial part of the buying research process. Yet surprisingly few shoppers ever test-drive a vehicle at night and even when they do, it’s often on brightly lit urban streets. IIHS engineers study and evaluate vehicle headlamps on a specially designed track. Light meters placed at strategic locations measure how far light is projected on straight approaches, as well
as sharp left and right turns, and gradual right and left curves. They also measure glare to determine if the lamps are projecting excessive and blinding light to oncoming drivers. Vehicles can earn a good, acceptable, marginal, or poor rating. Even if a vehicle’s light was exceptional from the driver’s standpoint, it would only earn a marginal rating if it subjected oncoming vehicles to excessive glare. The most recent group tested was small or compact SUVs, and out of the 21 models evaluated, none earned a good rating. In fact only four were deemed acceptable; 2017 Ford Escape, Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson, and Mazda CX-3. You can find the complete score card at iihs.org under the ‘news’ tab. Beginning next year a vehicle must achieve an acceptable or better headlamp rating in order to win IIHS’s coveted Top Safety Pick Plus award. If you’re considering replacing your current ride with a compact SUV (or anything else for that matter) and your night vision isn’t what it used to be, complete at least one test-drive at night on an unlit road to see if your eyes can live with
your choice. Don’t assume you can modify the lights after the fact to gain some intensity. New Ontario regulations that came into effect on July 1, outlaw adding HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulbs to lamps that weren’t originally designed to take them. Regular replacement bulbs that promise more light seldom provide anything more than a five per cent improvement if that. And fog lamps are only designed for short distance light projection and won’t do anything to improve long range vision at night. This is a great weekend for car shows, so get out and get your fill of chrome. The Wheels on the Bay is a three day festival celebrating all things automotive in Trenton and it runs from July 22-24. They’ll have a burnout pin, rev competitions and you can meet Dave Kindig from television’s Bitchin’ Rides and Twiggy from Vega Rat Rods. Check our wheelsonthebay.com for more details.

Pussy Riot comes to Kingston Mark Bergin COLUMNIST
@markaidanbergin
“Anybody can be Pussy Riot.” — Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina. A unique piece of theatre, Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot, hits the stage in Kingston as part of the Storefront Festival. Director Rebecca Benson, who also performs in the show, along with actor Tracey Guptill, described the show as performance for anyone who has a passion for politics and activism. “We’ve been asked where we see patriarchy in Kingston,” said Benson. “But where don’t you see it? Through working on the show I have been extraordinarily challenged, and recognized how many factors of my life embody patriarchy.” Benson said that Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot follows the format of a talk show.
“Usually a talk show is about current events, and there’s a celebrity,” she said. “We’re doing this in the context of activism. It’s very exciting because we’re subverting and playing with the preconception of what a talk show is. I remember reading somewhere that an artist creates what they want to see. I’d love to see a talk show about feminism and different kinds of heroes in my own community, while creating an avenue for others.” Guptill added that the struggle of feminism is connected to all other struggles. “I was personally pulled in [to Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot] because I have a history of activism. I did a Masters in the Environmental Studies Department at Queen’s. Young activists struggle in a world with so many problems, and what do you do, where do you start? This piece brought me back into action and questioning do I have to be involved with certain organizations or is theatre enough? What does my activism look like?” The title for this play came from Nadezhda Tolokonnikova Maria and Alyokhina, members of the band Pussy Riot,

Pussy Riot - Rebecca Benson, left, and Tracey Guptill perform in Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot, on stage at 226 Queen Street (formerly Blockbuster) as part of Theatre Kingston’s Storefront Festival. Tickets are available at the Grand Theatre box office or online at kingstongrand.ca. Photo/Mark Bergin who were imprisoned in Russia. Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist punk band, opposed the tactics of President Vladimir Putin, whom
they consider a dictator. Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill I openly supported Putin in his 2012 reelection campaign. Pussy Riot
challenged the close link between the Putin government and the Russian Orthodox Church, and Pussy Riot staged a guerrillastyle performance in Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The performance was recorded, and within 24 hours the band released the music video Punk Prayer—Mother of God, Chase Putin Away. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich were arrested. Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina ended up sentenced to two years of prison time and served 21 months. Like any political movement, internal polarized views can wreak havoc. After their release from prison, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina accepted an invitation from Madonna to come up onto a Brooklyn stage during an Amnesty International concert. Other members of the Pussy Riot movement, upset with the pair, published an open letter stating that Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina were not members of Pussy Riot. Time Magazine (February 7, 2014) printed the letter and a response from Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina. The public letter was typical of the problematic nature of anyone who holds rigid fundamentalist views in any movement. It noted that Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova had strayed from the “ideals of our group — feminism, separatist resistance, fight against authoritarianism and personality cult.” Continued on page 19
Pussy Riot comes to Kingston Continued from page 18
The sore point: Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova had appeared with a well-known celebrity (Madonna) during a concert, entry to which had required payment. Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina’s reaction to this was brilliant: “When we were jailed, Pussy Riot immediately became very popular and widely known, and it turned from just a group to essentially an international movement. Anybody can be Pussy Riot, you just need to put on a mask and stage an active protest of something in your particular country, wherever that may be, that you consider unjust. And we’re not here as the leaders of Pussy Riot or determining what Pussy Riot is and what it does or what it says. We are just two individuals that spent two years in jail for taking part in a Pussy Riot
protest action.” A key comment from that response became the inspiration and the catalyst for the play, now featured in Kingston’s Storefront Festival: Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot. As Benson and Guptill prove, anybody can (be a member of Pussy Riot). In its early days, the original band Pussy Riot reacted against the concept of the personality cult, rampant in the West. Thus, band members wore balaclavas to eliminate a focus on any single personality. Benson said that Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot is about bringing people together in a space where people can speak and learn about the kind of activism that goes on in Kingston. “We are so bombarded with
things we want to change that we can fall into paralysis,” said Benson. “We have invited feminist activists and performers to connect and come and have conversations,” said Guptill. “We’ll be interviewing different members of the activist feminist community every night. We’ll have entertainment acts to go along with the variety show format.” When describing what people will get out of the show, Benson said it’s an issue she’s been dealing with. “There’s an inspiration to discomfort,” she said. “To be faced with the discomfort that makes you make a choice about whether to do something or to face yourself with your urge to fall into denial. That’s where creating a meeting place comes in.”
Benson and Guptill said they are pleased that everyone they have approached about the show has wanted to be involved in some way. “Pelt, a feminist punk band in Kingston had taken a hiatus,” said Benson. “They are reuniting for this show. That was a huge confidence boost to us.” At each performance of Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot, a different activist will be interviewed, including a feminist lawyer, poverty advocate, an indigenous storyteller, and several community activists. There will also be a varied collection of performers participating at each show. These will include people like Sarah Campbell, actor Anna Sudac and dancer Kala Séraphin. And, of course, Pelt will perform. “There is a sense of punk about
this show,” said Guptill. “The Storefront Festival, like any fringe event, should be about risk,” said Benson. “This is a great opportunity to take a big risk.” Thanks to the Storefront Festival, part of the 2016 Kick & Push Festival, Anybody Can Be Pussy Riot has been playing on stage at 226 Queen Street (the former Blockbuster location) for the past week. Your last chance to see the show are on July 20 (7 p.m.), July 21 (1:30 p.m.) and July 22 (7 p.m.). Tickets are available through the Grand Theatre Box Office or online at kingstongrand.ca. Production: RAFT Productions and anARC Theatre. Creative Team: Rebecca Benson, Tracey Guptill, Moira Demorest and PELT. Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin.

Steven and Katie Koopman: creating storybook images at weddings Mark Bergin COLUMNIST
@markaidanbergin One of the most important memories in life is your wedding. How do you find a photographer when anyone with a camera and business card can call themselves a wedding photographer? The saying «you get what you pay for» is not true in wedding photography. You can end up paying elite prices for less-than-elite photography. I›ve reviewed «portfolios» (I use the term loosely) of people with minimal skills and who proudly show me their business cards. There in beautiful script are the words «Wedding photography.» Yikes. The cost for wedding photography? Expect to pay $2000 to $3000 for solid professional work at a traditional wedding. Unfortunately, those who are skilled and those who aren›t that skilled can charge similar fees. Does that sound like a lot of $$$ for a day›s work? Nope. For a start, it›s several days work. For that price, expect two photographers on your wedding day. A professional photographer will be shooting in RAW (not in the raw!) format. That way, they›re working with digital «negatives» with massive amounts of information in each file. The processing of the digital files is intense and
time consuming, adding several days of work by two professionals onto the actual wedding day. If someone asks me how they can get away with cheap photography at their wedding, I tell them to hand out a bunch of disposable cameras and have everyone take photos. Or have everyone snap away with their cell phones. I›m not kidding; if you don›t want to budget for professional photography, go the playful route. I›ve seen that work well, better than paying big bucks for a photographer who doesn›t even specialize in weddings. As for cell phones at the ceremony, have someone announce loudly and clearly that everyone is to put away their phones and tablets. Enforce this with a vengeance. Your photographer would appreciate it if you put up billboards and flashing signs announcing this. Nothing can ruin great wedding photos faster than a bunch of amateurs getting in the way of the person you›re paying to cover your day. What should you look for in a wedding photographer? You need a professional who can handle any kind of lighting situation. I am one of those people who loves working with ambient light (most of the time). However, I also have a strong working knowledge of professional lighting. Your photographer should be working with as little extra light as possible, but as much as necessary. I›ve seen so many wedding photos that could have been drastically improved if the photographer had a thorough working knowledge of both ambient and professional lighting.
Seniors 65 and better!
You also want someone with good PR skills. The human touch is crucial on a couple›s wedding day. Recently, I›ve gone looking for wedding photographers to whom I can refer clients. People see my work in The Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project and ask me to photograph their wedding. Not my thing. I›ve done weddings in the past, but I don›t do them now. Period. Ever. It›s been several years since I›ve done one. When I did weddings I went for the quirky. Outdoors. The Old Mill in Toronto. A farm field. But nowadays I›m not in that groove, and you want someone who is doing this regularly. My specialties are the worlds of low light and action. My skills are finely tuned to dance, theatre, concert, fashion and street photography and my time is filled to the brim with that work, writing, and teaching at St. Lawrence College. Each type of photography demands different skill sets and has its own pace and timing. Shooting a wedding requires a different approach than shooting ballet. When people don›t understand why I won›t do their wedding (particularly awkward if it›s a friend), I use the analogy that you wouldn›t ask a skilled neurosurgeon to perform your heart surgery. Nor, hopefully, would you ask your cardiologist to perform your kidney transplant. I›m sure that each could probably pull it off, but wouldn›t you rather work with the person who specializes in whichever procedure you need and works consistently in that area? Same with photography. For the ultimate wedding coverage at a traditional wedding, ideally you›ll work with a team of two photographers. A single photographer cannot capture everything. A working pair will do a much better job. Continued on page 21

Steven and Katie Koopman: creating storybook images at weddings Continued from page 20
Many wedding photographers work as the prime shooter (sorry, it›s what we call ourselves) and hire a secondary photog to work with them. Imagine if you could hire a team that functions as such on a daily basis. There are very few around. In Kingston, you›ve got Steven and Katie Koopman. Reviewing the Koopman›s work, they›re a formidable team. Steven and Katie Koopman are good photographers in part because they›re good storytellers. Combine that with solid technical knowledge and you›re on the path to superb wedding photography. Steve›s interest in photography took off in the mid-1990s. That was good timing. It meant he had to learn during the days of film, when a photographer had to thoroughly understand the relationship of shutter speed, aperture and ISO. You couldn›t take a few thousand digital photos hoping that one might possibly look good. Each shot had to count. «I wanted a creative outlet, personally,» he said. «I never really took an art course. I wanted something artistic but still technical. I got into it in the film days. I was always an outdoor enthusiast, so enjoyed shooting from the canoe and doing it purely for my own
enjoyment.» Lives change. Steven and Katie had children. Katie suggested that Steve should be doing his photography as a business. The husband half of the discussion disagreed. «As per usual, she won,» he said. That came with a smile, so I think he›s rather pleased about the decision and its outcome. Almost two decades after the initial entry into the world of images, and since getting serious about it in 2005, the Koopman pair has now shot somewhere between 300 and 400 weddings locally and outside the Kingston region. They›ve also branched out into portraiture and corporate work. Some of their destination wedding work has included locations in the Dominican Republic and Florida. Next year, they›ve got a wedding to cover in Ireland. They›re accompanying a Kingston couple (the groom is originally from Ireland) across the Atlantic to do the photography for their wedding. Steve Koopman offers solid advice for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. «The photographer›s portfolio is so important,» he said. «And not just five or ten photos, but snippets from the whole day. I like to show clients 75 to 100 photos to really tell the story of the day. People can see if the style matches
what they are looking for.» Another recommendation from Koopman: speak with a photographer›s past clients. On their website, Katie notes: «Weddings are glamorous and dramatic. The funny thing is that Steven and I are very unassuming and relatively low key people. We have two beautiful, witty girl children, and two very comical black mutts. Last year we purchased the house, a half hour north of Kingston—a home that has been a real gift to us due to its solitude and the atmosphere we have created for ourselves. A small piece of a big world, we enjoy photographing its beauty.” Some wedding photographers get into it for the money or out of necessity. Not this pair. Again, Katie $ 00 notes: “But we love weddings, We met at a wedding, catered weddings while we dated, got married, and, well, here we are. Having a career in wedding photography, I can honestly say that I
have found my professional purpose. I do not take what we offer as a service for granted. I love what I do.” Steven and Katie Koopman take an innovative approach to weddings. You’ll get the classic portrait photos. You know, bride, groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles, all posed nicely. Everyone says they want spontaneous, but most want those posed photos, too. Mind you, what people will adore when they look back on them are the images that capture candid moments and tell the real love story of the day. “We’ve actually had clients come
to us after the fact,” said Steven Koopman. “The photographer who shot their wedding did not do a good job, and they regret their wedding photographs, so they ask us to shoot their anniversary. In many photo shoots, if something messes up, you can re-shoot it. But with weddings, you get one chance and one chance only. You have to get it right.” To contact Steven and Katie Koopman, email info@unveiledphotography. net or call 613-777-5503.1 You can find out more about their work at unveiledphotography.ca.

Locally-produced ice cream of Dragons’ Den fame to be featured at Kingston Costco By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
In October of 2013, The Heritage told you about a Kingston woman, Maria Constandinou, who appeared on Dragons’ Den to help pitch her family’s ice cream business, Ninette’s Ice Cream. While they didn’t end up making a deal with a Dragon, the appearance on the show gave Ninette’s a considerable boost in profile, which in turn led to a wider distribution of the product – and, from this week until the end of July, you’ll be able to buy it right here in Kingston at Costco. “The Dragons’ Den story is on reruns and they play it quite often,” explains Maria’s father and Ninette’s president Nick Constandinou. “Every time that happens we get emails from people asking when are you coming to Vancouver? When are you coming to Ontario? What that Drag-
ons’ Den episode did for the exposure and the marketing and the branding was phenomenal.” The local Costco appearance is part of a ‘travelling roadshow’ that will involve the family bringing their product to various Costcos in different cities for short periods of time. The Kingston appearance will run from July 19 – 31. “The fact that we got Costco is a blessing,” says Constandinou. “We’ve been doing it for 2.5 years so it’s totally new on the market. “There are companies that do millions of dollars annually that try to get into Costco but can’t.” The idea for the business came from the family matriarch Ninette Constandinou’s love of making different ice cream flavours for her seven children while they were growing up. Over the years, it became so popular among family and friends that Ninette and Nick, who live in
Montreal, began producing it on a larger scale and selling it casually at stores both there and in and Ottawa. Since the Dragons’ Den appearance, business has taken off and all members of the family are involved in running the company in some respect. So what sets Ninette’s ice cream apart from all the other kinds you can buy? Well, to start, it’s all produced right down the road at Reid’s Dairy in Belleville. “All our flavours are made there,” says Constandinou, explaining that 500 cases of each flavour (basil lemon, cinnamon apple pie, gingerbread crunch, raspberry truffle, mocha almond fudge, peanut-free chocolate ‘peanut butter’ and old fashioned vanilla) are produced every four to five days. “We’re present during the production of our ice cream to make sure everything
is followed to a T.” The ice cream is made with all Canadian dairy, and there are no animal by-products or pesticides in any of the ingredients. All products are peanut-free and gluten free, other than gingerbread crunch, which contains a cookie made with gluten. “It’s a much cleaner product” than most ice cream, says Constandinou. The apples for cinnamon apple pie, for example, are picked at Ontario orchards and preserved naturally – unlike the majority of preserved apples on the market. “If we buy from the marketplace, a 25 litre bucket has got a nasty smell and taste [due to preservatives] that keep the apples white, so when you make your ice cream you’ve got a funny taste to it. The only way [to counter it] is to add sugar. So we make our own apple mixture picked from orchards, and the ‘secret’ ingredient that keeps the apples white is called lemon
juice.” As a result of this more natural approach, Ninette’s ice cream flavours contain significantly fewer calories than most other brands - typically between 115 and 150 per half cup, compared to an industry average of about 250 calories for the same amount. “I think that’s one of the reasons we got in [at Costco]”, notes Constandinou. Nick and Ninette were both at the Kingston Costco for the launch on July 19 to meet customers and offer samples. The price will be $9.89 for two containers – about $4 off what you’d pay at a regular supermarket. “We’re in love with this whole area of the country,” Constandinou says of the Kingston/Belleville area. “I know the ice cream will be well received because we use as few ingredients as possible, and it’s done all locally.”

in her lap on top of her opened Bible. Mother nodded in her direction, but the old woman either had no desire to be friendly, or there was something wrong with her eyesight as well. It looked like someone had just propped her in the seat. In fact, I wondered if that was what had happened, and I wished at once, that we had been there to see her come in. Emerson hissed he thought she may have passed away. Mother poked him on the knee to hush him up. But then she opened her purse to take out a little lacy hanky, and a strong whiff of lavender perfume floated over the pew causing Emerson to raise his hand to his mouth and let out a loud gagging cough. He wasn’t too fond of perfume. But at least it proved the old lady was still alive. Her skin looked like it had been drawn tightly across her face, and there was no doubt about it, she was going to give me plenty to think about during the long service, and I was secretly delighted, I confess, that she had lost her hearing and had to move up to the front of the church. I soon realized the sinfulness of my thoughts, and asked a quick forgiveness from God for harbouring such ideas. I had no idea what the minister was talking about that day. I was too engrossed in the old lady in the seat beside us. It wasn’t long before she started to doze off and yet she never moved a fraction of an inch in the pew. But her eyelids slipped down, fluttered open, and then closed again for good. Her eyes looked exactly like a chicken’s who had fallen asleep in the hot sun. Almost transparent, with no eyelashes, and white as the driven snow.

Our family sat in the pew next to the very front of the church, which I always thought was a shame because I could never see a thing going on behind me. Mother forbade us to turn around in our seats, and my sister Audrey said the whole back of the church could fall in behind us, and Mother would expect us to keep our eyes peeled straight ahead. I thought the church service long and boring. The time dragged by, and even though Audrey said it was a real sin to let my mind wander away from what the minister was saying, I had no idea what he was talking about. And so it was with more than a bit of joy the day a very elderly lady moved from the back to the other end of our pew. Mother said she had lost a lot of her hearing, and through necessity had to move closer to the minister. My brother Emerson said she didn’t know how lucky she was, whatever that meant. I hardly knew the old woman, but I was delighted she was close at hand, because now I had something else to occupy my mind. That first Sunday, she was already sitting in her seat by the time we piled in beside her. The seats curved, so I had no trouble looking over in her direction and giving her a good going over. She was like a little bird…a wren...or maybe a robin. She sat with her hands folded

She flew awake when the organist let out a blast for the last hymn. I must say it startled me too, and for the first time, the old lady looked over at us, and issued what passed for a smile. When the service was over, Mother reached across and extended a hand. Then the old lady opened her purse again, and another whiff of lavender settled around us. She took a nickel out of her purse and handed it to me, and said it was for being so good in church. I was dumbfounded, and Emerson pushed in beside me, but there was no more money in the offing. And then Mother, to my horror, beamed

at me after I said my thanks, and told me to go and put it in the offering plate at the front of the church. I couldn’t believe my ears! The old woman was beaming at me, and I knew I had to do what Mother said, and hand over the nickel. A whole nickel! With a heavy heart I went up to the plate and dropped it in. It was the fastest money I had ever earned, and it was the shortest time I had ever had a nickel in my possession! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

18th annual Taste of Kingston focuses on more than just food By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – The Taste of Kingston is back for another year, but this year, community members can expect to see a couple of changes. “It has always been a really successful event, but this year it was kind of an objective to expand it a little further,” explained Betsy Lake, community engagement lead at the Kingston branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association. “We really wanted to focus on getting the educational pieces out there to the community,” This year marks the 18th for the festival and while it will play host to 25 food vendors, including two for furry family members, it will also feature activities that are important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “We will have fitness classes. We have the Ontario Wrestling Federation coming out, Kingston Martial Arts will be doing obstacle courses and we are really just trying to amp up physical activity in regards to healthy lifestyles,” said Lake. The event will also include the Boys and Girls Club Fun Zone again this year, but even that has received
a makeover. “We have expanded the zone to not just include kids, but be something for the whole family to enjoy,” said Lake. “Adults and teenagers and kids can all race and kind of battle each other at different activities in this zone and really embrace the physical activity aspect.” According to Lake, diabetes currently affects one in four people right here in the Kingston community and numbers are increasing steadily. She hopes that by hosting an event like the Taste of Kingston, more community members can become informed about the disease. “My main objective is to create as much diabetes education and awareness as possible at this event,” she said. “We will be talking about diabetes, talking about healthy lifestyles and we will also be providing some food options that cater to people who are diabetic.” Vendors at the event will also be offering some vegetarian options and everyone in attendance will have an opportunity to vote for their favourite vendors in a variety of categories including best service, best lifestyle support, best presentation and of
course, the best taste. Community members will be able to vote both electronically and on paper and they will be able to try as many vendors as they want with tickets for each booth costing only $1. “All funds raised will support the Canadian Diabetes Association of Southeastern Ontario and what is raised local, stays local,” said Lake. “The funds will support trying to find a cure for diabetes, helping create more awareness in the community, as well as supporting sending children and youth with Type 1 diabetes to camp.” Lake is hoping that the community will come out and support the cause and she is also hoping for good weather. “It is going to be so much fun,” she said. “There will be so much happening at Confederation Park. There are fantastic activities for all ages Participants from Urban Paws enjoy Taste of Kingston 2015. Photo/ Submitted and there is so much to do.” The Taste of Kingston takes place on Sunday July 24 at Confederation Park in Kingston from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information visit www.diabetes.ca and search Taste of Kingston.

Memorial remembers first post-Confederation peace officer to be killed in the line of duty By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – On July 7, members of the Correctional Service of Canada Guard of Honour gathered at Cataraqui Cemetery to pay tribute to one of 34 Correctional Officers who have died in the line of duty. On July 7, 1870, Kingston Penitentiary Guard Harry Traill was killed while watching over two inmates at Kingston Penitentiary. The inmates had chosen that day as the day they would escape and while one distracted Traill, the other snuck up behind him with a heavy ironwood sleigh stake and smashed
him in the head. The inmates then tied up Traill, without knowing they had killed him, and made their escape, leading authorities on an 11-day manhunt. At the time, not much was written about Traill himself, but now, 146 years later, he is still being remembered. “I think it is always important to remember our fallen staff in any department really,” explained David St. Onge, curator of Canada’s Penitentiary Museum. “I think it adds to the tragedy of their loss if we don’t remember them and their contributions.” Traill became the first post-Con-
federation peace officer to be killed in the line of duty, but in his time he was the son of two prominent English citizens who emigrated to Canada in the 1820s or 30s. Traill’s mother was the celebrated author Catharine Parr Traill, who was well known in North America and England and Traill’s father had been a lieutenant in the Royal Scots Guards and served at Waterloo. The family lived on a farm in the Rice Lake area, north of Peterborough, where Traill was born in 1837. In 1864, he married Lily MacLean and started a family of his own. He was hired as a prison guard at Kingston Penitentiary in the summer of 1869 and moved his family to Portsmouth. “Harry Traill was just a regular Canadian going to work and expecting to come home at the end of the day and unfortunately that didn’t

Members of the Correctional Service of Canada Guard of Honour gathered at Cataraqui Cemetery to pay tribute to one Henry Traill on July 7. Photo/Mandy Marciniak happen,” said St. Onge. “So we work to remember him and his contributions now.”
A Kingston organization, the Canadian Federal Corrections Memorial Committee, has been raising funds and planning to create a permanent memorial monument to pay tribute to Traill and others in a more permanent way. St. Onge supports this idea and would like to see something on the Penitentiary Museum grounds. “For a number of years we have been working to erect an outdoor memorial or cenotaph to remember these people,” he said. “We want one that is accessible at all hours. There are memorials in our institutions and at our headquarters, but when the building is locked up you can’t access them.” St. Onge hopes that a permanent memorial will bring even more attention to those who have fallen, especially the seven officers that lost their lives at Kingston Penitentiary. “It is important to Corrections Officers to remember these heroes, but it is also important for the public to remember,” he said. “And Kingston is a perfect place to do just that.”
