County Council tables report suggesting they’re underpaid By Craig Bakay Reporter

News — While Frontenac County Council stopped short of voting themselves a raise at the regular meeting last week in Sydenham, they did leave the door open and passed a measure that could result in increases for staff members. Council reviewed reports prepared by CAO Kelly Pender and Treasurer Marian VanBruinessen with a study by Gazda Consulting Group which essentially provided a ‘fill-in-the-blanks’ resolution which would increase base pay, per diem and training/seminar allowance for Council members based on a comparison with other municipalities. The report said that Frontenac County hasn’t addressed Council pay since its size was increased to eight from four in 2010. It also noted that when compared with nine other upper tier municipalities (including the Counties of Prince Edward, Brant, Perth, Lennox & Addington, Elgin, Lanark and Peterborough), the warden’s salary of $17,000 was considerably below the median of the comparator group at $40,400. Other comparisons the study noted included: • Frontenac County Council size (8) is lower than the median (11) • Each Frontenac County councilor represents on average 2,304 dwellings, vrs. the median of 1,699 (also Frontenac County provides services to the City of Kingston in the form of long-term care and EMS which are not accounted for in the above). • The current compensation for a councilor at $7,400 is below the median of $17,000 • No comparator pays an additional amount to the deputy warden but the prevailing practice is to provide
a 20 per cent premium over councilor compensation • Nearly all counties have a policy in place to provide for an increase in line with the non-union staff or to apply the Consumer Price Index • The mileage rate for councilors is below the median rate. “I think the consultant missed one important thing — the warden and deputy warden rotate,” said Warden Denis Doyle. “I think the meat of this is that we’re the poor cousins of Eastern Ontario,” said Coun. John Inglis. “But to go from $7,400 to $17,000, a 150 per cent increase, I don’t know how voters would take this. “I know I couldn’t face my wife if I voted for it.” “I support the base pay concept,” said Coun. John McDougall. “I’ve always found it uncomfortable knowing what meetings to submit expenses for.” “I cannot support these increases, although I don’t really know the scope of the warden’s position,” said Coun. Ron Vandewal. “And the comparisons may not be viable because it doesn’t show how many of them have road networks and social programs, which we do not.” Council decided to table any further discussions until budget meetings kick off in in October. Council did however approve a measure for nonunion staff (essentially the management positions) which would standardize things at a 35-hour work week for everybody. “There are 24 positions (36 individuals) and this will create gender-neutral pay equity progression through the bands,” Pender said. “I’m not against pay equity, but I think pay bumps could come too fast under this system,” said Coun. Ron Vandewal, the only councilor to vote against the measure.

Sharbot Lakers aren’t used to having a red-light area in the hamlet By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — Work has begun to remove the railway bridge on Road 38, south of GREC in Sharbot Lake, public works coordinator Kyle Labbett told Council at its regular meeting last week at Kennebec Hall in Arden. The old bridge was deemed in need of repairs and the most cost-efficient solution, it was decided, was to remove it completely in favour of a level crossing for the multi-use trail that it used to span. Work is proceeding as scheduled and should be completed in time, Labbett said. However,
there was one little unexpected glitch in the early going. “Apparently, some people in Sharbot Lake are having a hard time knowing what running a red light means,” he said. “We had to call the cops to back people up. “(But) I know it’s Sharbot Lake’s first traffic light (albeit temporary).” There was no estimate of how long traffic would be down to one lane on Road 38 while the crossing is completed. ••• With the collapse of the bridge on Raymo Road this summer, Central Frontenac Council has begun looking at other similar structures
in the Township. At last week’s meeting in Arden, Council approved a motion limiting the maximum load on a little used Oclean Lane Bridge to 5 tonnes per axle with a maximum of three axels. ••• Construction values are up slightly but still have a ways to go to reach 2013 levels, building inspector Jeremy Neven told Council. To date, given the $1,235,300 in construction in June, construction values to date are at $3,266,871 compared to $3,370,930 for the same period in 2013. “I wouldn’t say we’re having a stellar year, but we’re having a good year,” said Neven.
••• Council decided to table proposed changes to its procurement policy at the request of Coun. Victor Heese, who asked for more clarification. “It mentions a CAO but we don’t have one,” Heese said. ••• Generally, delegations are limited to 15 minutes at Central Frontenac Council meetings, but the once-a-year-meeting in Arden seems to be an exception. Of the three delegations who spoke at last week’s meeting, one was given 17 minutes (rec committee), the second took only 11 minutes (Arden Seniors) but the third (Friends of Arden) consumed a whopping 37 minutes.

Move away from OPP for policing unlikely to be feasible, says CAO committee News — Given a mandate of exploring options to contracting with the OPP for policing, the committee of Frontenac County CAOs concluded that there are “significant barriers” moving away from the OPP including facilities, vehicles/ equipment and communications. The report was presented to Frontenac County Council at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. “Given startup costs, the option to have a Frontenac Police Service is not likely to be feasible,” the report said. “Within the context of considering alternative policing models, there are two other issues for consideration — first, the Prov-
ince continues to make adjustments to the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund which has embedded in its formula an adjustment for policing. The impacts of these changes on any model are not possible to confidently predict at this time. “Second, the number of seasonal residents in Frontenac presents an unknown in terms of both funding and service delivery that are difficult to predict or model.” “It’s great to have this information,” said Coun. Ron Higgins. “It’s not the information I was hoping for but it is good information.” The report said that under the Police Services Act, municipalities are limited as to the models they can use to provide the mandatory policing services including: • contracting with the OPP
• a single stand-alone service for an entire municipality • purchase of all or a portion of services from a neighbouring municipality • regional service. And while the report is somewhat lacking in recommendations, it does present a solid case that policing has become very expensive. Since 2009, the combined contracts with the OPP for North, Central, South and Frontenac Islands has risen to $4,365,581 per year (in 2015) from $3,061,101 per year (in 2009). In already established increases, that figure will rise every year to culminate at $5,559,036 in 2019, an increase of 81.6 per cent over the 10-year period. The report said that communications with the City of Kingston to
provide policing services resulted in a model that would include even higher costs. Contracting with any other municipality would require a common border. That essentially leaves a regional force option which would effectively require either the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) or the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus (EOWC) to become actively involved. “I’m not surprised,” said Coun. John Inglis. “But I’m not sure where we can go. “AMO seems to have thrown up

Warden Frances Smith. “I think we need to have the EOWC keep bringing it up,” said Coun. Ron Vandewal. “Arbitration costs have given Ontario one of the highest policing costs in North America,” said CAO Kelly Pender. “Policing needs to be provincial.” Council decided to invite AMO representatives to a meeting to further discuss the matter.

Dangerous wild parsnip growing rampant in Eastern Ontario They may look pretty growing alongside our roadways and trails, but think twice about picking a bouquet of these deceptive yellow weeds. They could burn and scar you, or maybe even blind you. Wild parsnip, an eye-catching, colourful, non-native weed, has exploded onto the scene in Eastern Ontario. An invasive plant native to Europe and Asia, wild parsnip was likely brought to North America by European settlers, who grew it for its edible root. Since their introduction, these plants have escaped from cultivated gardens and spread across the continent. Wild parsnip grows in large patches or as scattered plants around roadsides, public recreation areas, sports fields, pastures, fence rows and open areas. It can grow as tall as two metres. It’s a problem of growing concern explains Tom
Beaubiah, a biologist with the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority. “The seeds are dispersed typically by the wind. Usually you can see a patch developing. It starts out as a few plants then the radius expands from there. It may also be picked up by wildlife.” Much of the blame for the increase along country roads lies with rural mowing practices that have allowed for seeds to be carried and dispersed by equipment. Typically where roadsides are maintained, seeds can be drawn along by mowing equipment. The weed resembles Queen Anne’s lace (also known as wild carrot), a weed common to Canada and recognizable by its white flowers. But wild parsnips, which have a yellow flower, contain a chemical compound that can cause severe burns and blisters when activated by sunlight. Wild parsnip causes phyto-photodermatitis, which happens when the sap of the plant, from broken stems

and leaves, touches the skin and is exposed to ultraviolet light (that’s present whether it’s cloudy or sunny). Within 24 to 48 hours, the affected area will redden; in most cases this will followed by blisters that can be painful for a couple of days. In many cases, the blisters will lead to brownish pigmentation that can last for years. It’s worse than poison ivy. “People need to understand that the reaction to the sap is not an allergic reaction like that of poison ivy, it is a chemical reaction,” cautions Beaubiah. Unlike poison ivy, toxin in the sap from wild parsnip is absorbed by the skin and energized by ultraviolet light. Moisture from perspiration speeds absorption. Burning is inevitable if skin comes in contact with juice from cut or broken stalks, leaves or flowers. The juices are most potent while in flower. Mild exposure is similar to sunburn. Severe exposure causes skin to blister. People who come in contact with the toxic liquid are advised to quickly seek shelter to stop the sap from photosynthesizing, and to wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water. Skin can turn red one day after exposure. Inflammation may also occur after three days. Those who have a reaction are advised to seek medical attention. If the sap gets into the eyes, it may even cause temporary or permanent blindness. It seems that the best advice for anyone who accidentally gets the sap on their skin is to wash it off immediately with soap and water and avoid exposure to sunlight. It may be necessary to cover up for a couple of days. To relieve symptoms, cover the affected area with a cool, wet cloth. If blisters appear, try not to rupture them for as long as possible. To avoid infection, keep the area clean and apply antiseptic cream. Once you have learned to recognize the plant, you’ll quickly notice just how abundant it is. Wild parsnip has been around for years in small quantities; however, the wet weather of recent years has produced an abundance of the plants. “It appears to be spreading. It’s everywhere,” adds Beaubiah, who is concerned about the ever-increasing problem of this dangerous weed. There are management strategies being developed by those affected by it, but they vary depending on the impact the plant is having. Many of the simpler strategies are to mow the plants prior to going to seed; others are using herbicides (spraying). “I expect various control programs to develop at the various scales of government, but most are currently

trying their best to manage the problem with the resources that they have.” The best way to control wild parsnip is by early detection and eradication. The simplest method of control may be to regularly cut the grass, plants and weeds in green areas alongside roads and in areas the public uses. “If you only have a few of them in your yard, you can remove them by digging or hand pulling,” he says. “Be sure to wear shoes or boots, long pants, long sleeves, gloves and goggles when you are working rd th near it. Dispose of the plants in the garbage. To do otherwise will spread them further.” Help keep it at bay by mowing it just when the flower buds are beginning to show (somewhere be7OOD 0ELLET 3ALES $ELIVERY s (ARMAN 3TOVES 3ALES tween the end of June and beginning of July).

Culverts ordered for Raymo Road bridge reconstruction, completion date still up in the air By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — The culverts for Raymo Road have been ordered but when the road will be passable and how much it will cost are still undetermined, following a special meeting of Central Frontenac Council held July 9 at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. Council approved a purchase order of $80,738.68 for the two pipes, which are structural steel galvanized elliptical culverts with a wall thickness of 5mm. Delivery time is estimated at 5 weeks due to the quantity of work the supplier currently has, said public works coordinator Kyle Labbett. Labbett recommended the Township purchase the culverts now to speed up the process by having them in place ready to go when the engineering studies and tendering process have been completed. Labbett estimated the final cost to be “in the $340,000 range” but without the final engineering drawings it would be impossible to predict more accurately. Council approved a budgeting measure deferring the rehabilitation of two bridges on Burke Settlement Road as well as the removal of the abandoned bridge on Crow Lake Road from the 2015 budget to the 2016 budget in order to pay fixing Raymo Road. This will free up $230,000 for Raymo. Treasurer Mike McGovern said there were options to finance the rest, including not making any investments in 2015 but declined to recommend any measures until he
knew how much money would be required. One of the culverts on Raymo Road ‘failed’ in June as a result of heavy rainfall and water accumulation, requiring an emergency meeting of Council. As Council members discussed their options, and unbeknownst to them at the time, the second culvert was in the process of failing. At the time, Council discussed options for pedestrian traffic at the site but given the soil conditions, any sort of dock and passageway were deemed cost-prohibitive, with even the cheapest solution that would conform to government regulations projected to be in excess of $20,000. Several residents of the area were in attendance at the June 9 meeting and when asked for their opinion on a walkway by Mayor Frances Smith, they agreed that it “wasn’t worth the cost.” However, a couple of residents did object to the fact that the Township had erected berms restricting the ability of ATVs and similar vehicles from crossing the creek at the bridge site. Signage was also erected. However, they seemed somewhat placated when Labbett said the Township had no choice other than to prevent crossings at the site due to liability and insurance issues. A precise timeline as to when Raymo Road will once again is uncertain until tenders come back but Labbett said they’re hoping for the end of August.

Editorial
In Our Opinion
New Horizons: old guy playing ball or a spacecraft flying by Pluto I looked forward to that evening’s installment of NOVA. I usually watch NOVA on Wednesday nights but I had no idea what they had planned, probably a rerun but that’s OK. Little did I expect what they’d had planned for us. On Tuesday, July 14, 2015, the spacecraft New Horizons made its historic flyby of the ‘dwarf’ planet Pluto. (A lot of people like Pluto and weren’t happy when it was demoted from planet, and the ‘dwarf planet’ designation feels like a rather poor compromise). At any rate, the very next night, Wednesday, July 15, 2015, the good folks at NOVA had a full-fledged documentary on the accomplishment, complete with a significant amount of material that couldn’t be captured before the confirmation that New Horizons did indeed have photos and data about Pluto to send back. Even better, the documentary, Chasing Pluto, was pretty damn cool. One of the more fascinating things included in Chasing Pluto was that there was a very real chance that New Horizons could be destroyed when it got close to Pluto.

Column — I had planned to write about going out for seniors baseball this week after a 19-year hiatus from actually playing the game. But after arriving at the ball park in Arden I was told I could only be on the team if everything was off the record. So I can’t write about it . . . except to report that former councilor John Purdon was greeted at the park with chants of “John Pur-don, John Purdon, John Pur-don” complete with cheerleaders wielding pom-poms. And it’s not breaking any confidentiality to say that my arm hurts, bending down to field a ground ball isn’t near as simple as I remember and what the hell was that thrown-ball-going-out-of-focus thing. Somewhere out there in the 6-8 feet away range, it just sort of disappeared. Don’t remember things being like that either. At any rate, suffice it to say the couch looked pretty good when I got home and with a mocha in hand,

For one thing, in between the time New Horizons was launched and the time it got close, somebody discovered that there were in fact five moons orbiting the tiny planet. They knew the orbits of four of them and were able to compensate but this fifth moon was a bit of a wild card. They also found out there was significant space dust around Pluto, a ring system actually. Ring systems and spacecraft don’t mix very well and there were memories of the Mars mission that took a lot of hits from its encounter with a cloud of space dust. However, this plucky spacecraft made it through the celestial gauntlet and performed admirably, sending back photos and spectrographic data that will keep a slew of sciencetypes busy for months. For example, it certainly looks like Pluto has an atmosphere but it’s going to take a lot of analyzing to figure out just what’s in that atmosphere. New Horizons’ journey so far has been about 3 billion miles (5 billion kilometres). It takes data 4.5 hours to get to Earth. And we got to see the pictures that day, very cool.

Life jackets save lives Editorial – At the beginning of July, residents and cottagers on Bob’s Lake in South Frontenac were shocked when a pair of canoeists drowned after their boat capsized just 100 metres from shore. The two men from Kingston, identified as Justin Thomas Butts, 29, and Daniel MacDonald, 23, were canoeing with Butts’ three-year-old son when the canoe capsized. None of them were wearing life jackets, but the toddler was rescued from the lake after a flotation device on his bathing suit brought him to the surface. Sadly, this incident is not abnormal. According to the Canadian Red Cross, an average of 400 Canadians drown each year and nearly 90 per cent of boaters who drown are either not wearing or are not properly wearing their lifejacket. These deaths are unnecessary and fully preventable and we have to wonder, why do they keep happening? Ontario’s current legislation says people must have as many life vests or personal floatation devices as there are passengers in a boat — but they don’t have to wear them. Numerous organizations and individuals have called for this legislation to change over they years. It is unrealistic and unsafe to assume that a boater will be able to retrieve and properly secure a flotation device while falling overboard, capsizing or colliding with another boat or object and the life jacket certainly isn’t going to find them. Life jackets, or person flotation devices (PFDs), have come a long way over the years and have evolved significantly from the 1850s cork devices. Now you can find PFDs that are made of lightweight material and are extremely fitted. You can even buy PFDs that lay flat and inflate when you pull a string or have a dissolvable tablet that triggers inflation after a certain amount of saturation. Like everything else, technology has made life jackets easier. We should view life jackets the same way we view seatbelts. If you get into a car to drive you put your seatbelt on and in the event of an accident it can save your life. The same can be said for putting on a life jacket and swimming in a lake. It really is common sense – a life jacket can save your life.

Groceries are just a click away: Loblaws launches new Click-and-Collect program in Kingston mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – For many people grocery shopping is a time-consuming, chore, but a new program from Loblaws is hoping to make life a little easier for shoppers; a new service called Clickand-Collect allows busy consumers to order groceries online and pick them up in store. “The whole process is so easy and convenient,” said Jeremy Pee, senior vicepresident of e-commerce at Loblaw Digital. “When customers are ready to pickup they come to the store and park in the designated parking spots and we load the groceries for them. We essentially do all the work. The program started as a pilot in Toronto and Ottawa last year and after much success it has expanded; on July 13 the program launched in Kingston and customers are now able to ‘Click-and-Collect’ and pick up at the Loblaws on Midland Avenue. Kingston is now the third city in Canada to offer the grocery program and Pee thinks that the market in the city will be very receptive. “It is a large market in which we have strong relationships with our customers,” he said. “We know it is a university town and because of that we know a lot of our customers will be digitally connected and ready.” Pee said customers in Kingston have been inquiring about the service for a while and he hopes many will be excited to try it out. The program has been a success in other markets and with over 20,000 products offered through Click-and-Collect, customers can purchase everything from produce to frozen
food and even hot items made in store. “Personal shoppers keep the products at the proper temperature in freezers and warmer areas until pick up,” explained Pee. “We are surprised by the number of people who purchase fresh products and that is great because it tells us that we are doing a good job in terms of picking the right products and at the right quality level.” To use Click-and-Collect, customers will be Customers at Loblaws on Midland Avenue in Kingston can now take advantage of the charged $3 to $5 per order depending on the Photo/ Mandy Marciniak time of day and day of the week.

News – In an emergency situation, communication amongst first responders is vital. Members of the police, fire and paramedics services come together in order to best serve the community. But what if they could enhance communication and sharing of data and become even more efficient? That is the goal of the new Kingston Interoperability Safety and Security (KISS) Program. The KISS program was officially announced on July 14 at Kingston Police Headquarters and is part of a $12 million investment funded through the Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP). The project aims to enhance interoperability and data sharing for municipal police, fire, and paramedic services in and around Brockville, Kingston and Belleville through the use of a centralized, interconnected computer-aided-dispatch hub for all partners.
MP for Leeds-Grenville, Gord Brown, announced the project on behalf of Associate Minister of National Defence, Julian Fantino and explained how the project will be beneficial for those who work and live in the region. “These collaborative efforts are key to improving Canada’s ability to anticipate, mitigate and respond to threats to public safety and security such as terrorism, cybercrimes and natural disasters,” explained Brown. “Such threats do not respect bureaucratic boundaries so it is absolutely critical to have a whole government approach to these matters.” Since 2013, the CSSP has invested approximately $47 million to fund innovative projects to enhance the public safety and security of Canadians. The KISS program is one of 24 new programs funded by the CSSP and will receive $1.5 million over the next three years for development. Continued on page 14

Kingston first responders receive $1.5 million to develop new “KISS” program Continued from page 13
The goal is to improve overall interoperability across first responder units by collecting data, voice and real-time information in order to create a cohesive emergency response unit. Kingston Fire and Rescue Chief, Rhéaume Chaput, fully supports this goal and acknowledged that the downtown fire in 2013 highlighted the need for a program like KISS. “It really showed us the need for interoperability and not just when it comes to being on radios and being able to talk, but interoperability on a bigger scale,” he said. “There are gaps in our communication processes and this project will introduce a different model of emergency response, one that will address the concept of one unit - fire, EMS and police working together on dealing with [whatever
arises] in the most effective way possible.” The project will also include key partners from fire, police and paramedic departments in the Frontenacs, Addington Highlands, Greater Napanee, Loyalist, Gananoque, Stone Mills, Leeds and the Thousand Islands. The hope is that the results and the lessons learned from the project will provide valuable knowledge in support of efforts to improve interoperability between first responder organizations in the region and eventually across Canada. “This project will put Kingston on the leading edge when it comes to emergency services and response capabilities,” said Chaput. “We are dealing with a new model of emergency response that you will not see anywhere else in Canada and we hope to make this a model that will extend across Canada in the future and help communities across the country.”

Raising awareness of hepatitis Events - In Canada, it is estimated that 600,000 people are currently infected with hepatitis B or C and many don’t even know it. “They may have no obvious symptoms until serious liver damage has occurred,” explained Jennifer Brunet, Hepatitis C Counsellor at the Street Health Centre, a division of the Kingston Community Health Centre (KCHC). “These are chronic, lifelong viral infections that can affect anyone from any walk of life and I think a lot of people don’t realize that.” Since 2010, the Street Health Centre in Kingston has been working to make more people aware of hepatitis and primarily hepatitis C. While both hepatitis A and B have vaccinations that most of us received in high school, hepatitis C does not. Hepatitis C can present with flulike symptoms including abdominal pain, fever and nausea so many people don’t think anything of it, but the earlier hepatitis C is detected the sooner it can be treated, increasing the likelihood of recov-
ery. Without treatment the virus can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, which can be fatal in the absence of a liver transplant. “It is one of the very few viruses that we have a cure for,” said Brunet. “But it goes untreated in so many people. A simple blood test can detect hepatitis C, but there is a lot of stigma attached to the virus so many people don’t get tested.” Hepatitis is incorrectly stigmatized as an IV drug-users’ disease, a sexually transmitted disease or an alcoholic’s disease and few people realize that it takes only blood-toblood transmission to pass it on. Something as simple as sharing personal hygiene items such as razors and toothbrushes, or by using nonsterile equipment for tattoos, body piercing, haircutting, or medical procedures can spread hepatitis. “There is lots of work to be done in terms of stigma and misinformation when it comes to the virus, but we are working to fix that,” said Brunet. For the past five years, the Street Health Centre has held awareness events about hepatitis on World Hepatitis Day (July 28) and this year they have a day full of events
most important thing we can do as at H’art Studio, 237 Wellington planned. “Our afternoon event is a panel a community when it comes to a vi- Street and the evening event begins discussion with clients who have rus like hepatitis. I hope people will at 7 p.m. at the Screening Room, 120 Princess Street. For more informaused our services.

Attendees will be able to enjoy a free screening of ‘Deal with it: Untold stories of Hepatitis C in Canada’ and will also hear from KCHC’s Street Health Centre is hoping to raise awareness about hepatilocal physicians about hepatitis in tis through 2 events on July 28.

Cool down the pace with Big Sugar in Market Square By: Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Big Sugar is a band famous for uptempo, high-energy music; lately, however, they’ve been slowing things down. Their latest album, Yardstyle, explores the acoustic side of frontman Gordie Johnson and his fellow band members, and on Friday, July 31, Big Sugar will bring this new sound to Kingston for a free concert in Springer Market Square. As Johnson explains, though, acoustic style is by no means as new to the band as fans might presume.
“This is just the first time we’re sharing that with people,” he says. “We tend to not rehearse with all the electricity - it’s just with hand drums and banjos and harmonicas and things like that. It’s easier to sing, easier to communicate and easier hear yourself when you’re more low impact.” They’ve also gone acoustic for quite a few radio and television spots. “We started doing it that way and it was so much fun. “We loved the way the songs sounded and so we decided to make a record.” He describes the Yardstyle recording
process as a very rewarding experience. “It came together so organically, without the help of science. It didn’t take us very long, we just put a dozen of us in the studio and sat around in a circle and played songs. Some folks recorded it and that was it.” Their acoustic shows have similarly involved many people on stage, extending beyond the group’s five core members. “You get to see our musical community at work,” Johnson says. “At our Toronto show we had 16 people on stage. We tend to gather up musicians as we go
- there’s always room for another hand drum or acoustic guitar or another voice singing.” It all results in a rather intimate concert vibe. “People are used to hearing the songs being very high energy and everybody’s on their feet dancing. So to hear them acoustic, it gives people a chance to hear the lyrics better and there are some intricacies in the music that don’t get lost.” Johnson started Big Sugar in Toronto in the late ‘80s and the core members, including Garry Lowe and Kelly Hoppe, have been playing together since the ear-
There’s
ly ‘90s. Their music is a little bit blues, a little bit rock ‘n roll, a little bit reggae, a little bit ragtime. “To me it’s just all music,” Johnson says. “It’s just whatever we’re listening to.” Their sound evolved as a result of the Toronto neighbourhoods he and his bandmates grew up in. “[Reggae, etc.] - that was just part of the culture. We grew up with that, we heard that every day. I’ve worked with Jamaican guys most of my career, it’s just part of what we do.” He notes that playing the songs acoustically allows all these stylistic nuances to figure more prominently. “They’re still a big part of our music, even when we’re playing rock ‘n roll, but they become more evident. That’s another nice aspect of this kind of presentation.” Kingston has been a major tour destination for Big Sugar over the years, and Johnson is looking forward to returning to play Market Square. “It’s a perfect show to put on for a summer evening,” he remarks. The concert, part of the City of Kingston’s Rockin’ the Square series, begins at 8 p.m. and is completely free of charge. Kingston’s own Miss Emily will open. Big Sugar’s upcoming album, Calling all the Youth, comes out at the end of August. It’s a return to their regular, more fast-paced style and will be followed by a full electric tour later in the fall.

Montreal cousin brings circus to Renfrew County Mother talked endlessly about the sights of her beloved New York...all the things you could do that didn’t cost a penny, and of spectacles she was sure you could find nowhere else in the world. We hung onto every word, and in our minds eye, each one of us five children created our own images of the glories of this great and wonderful city. One summer day, when our Montreal cousins were visiting from Montreal, was a day I would never forget. It was a hot and sticky day, and we had taken refuge in the grape arbour...all sitting around Mother in the big wooden swing. Someone was fanning her with a copy of the Renfrew Mercury, as she told of the wonders of that city. Stories we never tired of. Even young Ronny, that incorrigible cousin who wasn’t easily impressed, was spellbound, as she talked about trains that ran on tracks high above the streets, and a place called an automat, where
you could buy your lunch for a dime from a little glass window in a wall. And then she told us for the first time about a circus that even in our wildest imagination we couldn’t fathom. It was a circus of fleas. She said they wore little harnesses, and their trainer showed them off in a magnified glass top case, and they obeyed his every command. We couldn’t imagine anything so fascinating. Ronny’s eyes started to slit, and I could tell his fertile mind was working overtime, and that he was planning some deed, which was bound to get him into trouble. And then story time was over. Mother went into the house, and we kids scattered...some to get cooled off in the Bonnecherre…and some to get a cup of ice-cold water from the well. Ronny sort of slinked off towards the barn...but I never took my eye off him. I knew he was up to something. I saw him walking slowly over the barnyard, stick in hand poking the ground, eyes cast down...and in the deepest concentration. He finally found what he was looking for. It was a big black beetle. We called them June bugs, and
they could be found in great abundance on the farm, and I hated them with a passion. I wasted no time in asking Ronny what he intended to do with it. Now his eyes were barely visible between the lashes. “I’m going to make a harness out of thread, and train this critter to perform, that’s what I’m going to do,” he said. “And I’m going to charge admission. Now, if you want to get to see it free, you better help me.” I took the thread out of Mother’s sewing box...heavy black thread she used for buttons for our winter coats. Ronny had moved over to the back of the silo so no one could see what he was doing. He figured if he could get the bug harnessed and trained before anyone saw him, he was more likely to get away with charging for the show. The beetle was helpless on its back, but I was still terrified to give it more than an occasional glance. Ronny fashioned a harness of sorts from the thread and wrapped it around the bug’s gyrating body. Then he flipped it over on a rock and with a small twig prepared to embark it on its education. It scurried in every direction, and each time Ronny would bring it back to a starting position.
This went on in the beating sun for what seemed like hours to me. I was anxious to get on with other things, and was reaching the conclusion that Ronny was never going to teach this beetle a thing. But every time I started to move away, Ronny hauled me back to hold the harness. It became a battle of wills between the beetle and my Montreal cousin, and it very much looked like this was one war Ronny was not going to win. I might have known Ronny was not going to give up easily on what could be a lucrative venture. He dispatched me to the house to fetch the rest of the kids, and they were all to bring a cent with them if they wanted to see this spectacle. I had no idea what they were going to see for a cent, but I did exactly as I was told. Everyone lined up beside the plank Ronny had arranged for the show, and he extracted a cent from every outstretched hand. Then he took the bug out of his hand and set it on the board. It never moved a fraction of an inch. He touched it with a finger. Then with a blade of grass. Finally he blew on it. It was either asleep or dead. Seven pairs of eyes were glued
to the beetle. Nothing happened. Emerson wanted his money back. So did Audrey.

1929 Chevrolet roadster built in Saskatchewan idle farmers during the winter. The plant employed 850 people and built Chevrolets, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs. Buicks and Maple Leaf trucks were added in 1937. During the Second World War, the plant became the largest munitions factory in Saskatchewan, employing 1,596 men and women. Although cars were never built here again, the building retains the letters “GMC” over the front doors. In 1929, Chevrolet produced a new sixcylinder engine with cast-iron pistons and a non-pressurized lubrication system, and the cost was little more than the old 4-cylinder. This allowed Chevrolet to claim that its new car was “A Six in the price range of a four!” It had 194 cubic inches with 46 horsepower, a very decent power output for that time. The new engine had a profound impact on Ford, which was building the Model A with four cylinders. After witnessing Chevrolet’s success, Henry Ford reportedly stated: “If it’s cylinders they want, then we will give them cylinders!” Ford introduced the first V8 engine in the low price field in 1932. The Canadian Automotive Museum first opened its doors in 1963 and today displays over seventy-five vintage vehicles, many of which were built by GM in Oshawa. Well worth a visit! Phone 905-5761222 for more information. I’m always looking for more stories.
Just inside the front door of the Canadian Automotive Museum at 99 Simcoe St. South in Oshawa, Ont., sits a sporty yellow 1929 Chevrolet International Roadster which first saw the light of day at the General Motors plant in Regina, Sask. It is equipped with metal spoke wheels, a distinctive Saskatchewan feature when cars produced in Oshawa had disc wheels. How this Chevrolet migrated from Saskatchewan to Ontario is unknown. The Regina plant opened in December 1928 at Winnipeg Ave. and 8th Ave. as a five-building complex that included a body-building plant and a one-third-mile test track. The ’29 Chevrolet roadster at the Oshawa museum might well have been driven around that track before being shipped to a dealer. According to the Canadian Automotive Information Handbook published in 1934, our feature car had a price when new of $665 with a wheelbase of 107 inches as compared to 103.5 inches for the Model A Ford. At the time the Regina plant opened, Saskatchewan was the third-most-populated province with a large workforce of

Memorable Minions serves up plenty of laughs By Mark Haskins
MOVIE: Minions STARRING: Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Geoffrey Rush and Pierre Coffin DIRECTOR: Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin RATING: G I think we’ve all wondered about the origins of the Minions. I kind of had my money on a cloning experiment that went sideways, but I never really thought there’d be a whole movie in it. It’s so good to be wrong. It seems the Minions have been around since before man. From the very beginning they’ve sought out the most terrifying and despicable master to serve. Finding a master was easy, but keeping one proved difficult. Eventually the Minions found themselves without a master, and forced into hiding. However with-
out a master they began to lose their will to live. To save his people Kevin (Pierre Coffin) decides to venture back into the world, and find a new master. The year is 1968 and together with Stuart (Pierre Coffin) and Bob (Pierre Coffin) they travel all the way to America and the infamous Villain Con. There they hope to impress the world’s most famous super villain Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock). For some reason Scarlet and her husband Herb (Jon Hamm) like what they see. They hire Kevin, Stuart and Bob, but Scarlett needs them to do one little job to seal the deal. They have to steal the British Crown Jewels. If you enjoyed Despicable Me 1 and 2, or if you just love to laugh-out-loud then Minions is a must-see movie. I was laughing, my wife was laughing, my kids were laughing, the whole theatre was laughing. The film moves at a dizzying pace. You never know
what they’re going to throw at you, or where the next twist will take you. There’s the physical gags, the outrageous situations, and of course there are the Minions themselves. Their antics are ridiculous and endearing, and sometimes both at the same time. Though for me it’s all about the language. It’s an indecipherable mix of English, French, Spanish, Yiddish, gibberish and who knows what. I have no idea what they’re saying, and yet I know exactly what they’re
saying. It’s one of the best comedic devices ever because they can say nothing, imply whatever they want, and get away with absolutely anything. Great animation deserves a great cast. Minions has a great cast. Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Saunders and Geoffrey Rush let themselves get swept away in the wackiness to create some of the funniest characters in animation. Speaking of letting themselves
go Saundra Bullock just might be Scarlet Overkill in real life. Without a doubt she steals the show. It’s my sincerest wish that she finds her way into Despicable Me 3. Of course the heart and soul of Minions are Kevin, Stuart, and Bob all of whom are voiced by Pierre Coffin. Coffin has taken his creations from scene stealers to stars. They’re brilliant, he’s brilliant, his film is brilliant. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Maple adds flavour to personal peach pies Preparation time: 25 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Chilling time: 10 minutes Serves: 8
These personalized peach pies are a perfect summer picnic treat and have a special ingredient: maple syrup. Photo/Submitted
Ingredients â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tbsp (15 mL) ground cinnamon â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground nutmeg â&#x20AC;˘ 4 large Ontario peaches, pitted and chopped (about 1-1/2 lbs/750 g) â&#x20AC;˘ 1/3 cup (75 mL) maple syrup â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tbsp (25 mL) coarsely chopped candied ginger â&#x20AC;˘ 1 egg yolk â&#x20AC;˘ 4 9-inch (23 cm) prepared deep-dish pie shells, defrosted â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup (50 mL) sliced almonds â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar Preparation instructions In large bowl, combine cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Stir in peaches and set aside. In large skillet bring maple syrup just to a boil; stir in butter and ginger. Reduce heat; add peach mixture and stir gently until coated and slightly thickened. Transfer to a bowl and chill for 10 minutes. In small bowl, combine egg yolk with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water. Leaving pie shells in their aluminum pans, cut in half through centre; generously brush entirely with egg mixture, reserving the remainder. Divide peach mixture between each pie shell half, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) border. With floured fingers, gently fold each halved crust to enclose filling while pinching edges
firmly to seal; trim any excess crust from edge and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture, cut small vent hole on top of each pie, and sprinkle with almonds and sugar. Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and filling is bubbling.
