Libraries situation up in the air in Central Frontenac despite new buildings By Craig Bakay Reporter

News — Central Frontenac may have the plans for libraries in Parham and Mountain Grove, but just what might be in those libraries is still very much up in the air. Central Frontenac has already begun construction of a new fire hall/library (1,000 square feet library) in Parham and received a federal grant of $110,000 for a new library/community centre to be added on to the library in Mountain Grove. The new building in Parham was to replace the portable used as a library while Hinchinbrooke Public School was in operation. When the school closed, the fate of the library was left in limbo. But the Kingston Frontenac Library Board has nothing in its budget for either Parham or Mountain Grove. “The (Parham) library as it exists won’t be moved,” said Mayor Frances Smith, citing a letter from the library board at Central Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. “If the community decides they want a mechanical library (with book dispensing machines) it will cost us $35,000.” In a letter to Smith and the Township dated July3, chief librarian Patricia Enright said that the board had passed motions to suspend library services in Parham Madison and Braden Hirschbeck, (foreground) and Alanna Ball and Grace Elliott race for the as of Oct. 17 and that the six hours of operation be finish line in the second heat of the Red Green Cardboard and Duct Tape Boat Races, one of moved to the Sharbot Lake branch (and) that the many activities held Aug 8-9 during the 20th annual Verona Cattail Festival.

the Township providing the facility. “I’m disappointed in the stance the library board is taking,” said Coun. Brent Cameron, who represents Hinchinbrooke District. “They can’t justify six hours for a librarian for us but they can justify a 3D printer for an in-town branch. “They provide Rolls-Royce service to the intown branches and rusted-out Chevy service to us.” Cameron said the board’s focus is all south of the 401. “Rural people do read books, you know,” said Cameron. “Some of us even have piece of paper on the wall. “I think the optics are bad when they’re putting technology into the Isabel Turner or Calvin Park branches but not even core services into the rural branches.” “I did send a note saying we got the grant (for Mountain Grove),” said Smith. “Mountain Grove circulation is good.” “I was on the library board for 15 years and one thing that hasn’t changed is that if you want to retain your libraries, you have to get your circulation numbers up,” said Coun. Bill MacDonald. “We have to encourage people to use the libraries.” “I think the library board needs to take as much enthusiasm to rural branches as they do to urban ones,” said Cameron. “There’s not much advertising and the doors aren’t even open most of the time.” Council decided to hold an open house to consult with Parham and area residents as to the type of library services they are prepared to support.

Central Frontenac awards Raymo Road contract, approves Medical Centre Road paving recommend we talk to them to see if we can share costs.” Coun. Bill MacDonald said the Big Gull Lake boat ramp had been discussed at a joint meeting with North Frontenac so they would be aware of the idea. “But,” he said, “I’d like to recommend that it be put on hold

considering all the other financial things we’re dealing with.” Labbett also suggested that a ‘small’ brusher be added to next year’s budget. “Brushing has been an issue,” he said. “We’ve used some rental brushers and Percy Snider has been contracted to do behind guard rails.

“Bell Line Road is next and our budget is getting close but we’ll keep brushing into the fall.” “From what I’ve seen it’s been good,” said Mayor Frances Smith.

News — The Central Frontenac Public Works department has been busy this building season, Council heard at its regular meeting at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. First off, there was the awarding of the Raymo Road contract, to replace the culvert, which was washed out earlier this spring. “I’m glad to see this day,” said public works coordinator Kyle Labbett. “The culvert is ready and we’re hoping to have traffic at capacity by Labour Day with some touch-ups to follow.” Due to the tight time constraints and the fact that the job came to tender at the height of the busy building season, there were only two bidders for the contract, both within $33,000 of each other. Crain’s Construction won the contract with a bid of $306,867. “I don’t want to slow the process but are the numbers coming in within our budget?” said Coun. Bill MacDonald. “Given the time constraints and the time of year, I think we’re getting

a very good deal,” said Labbett. “The contractor assumes the pipe cost so we’re within our budget. “We were anticipating a cost of around $320,000.” Council also approved Labbett’s suggestion to have Medical Centre Road and the parking lot at the Medical Centre paved this summer at a cost of $31,000. “This has been on the table for several years but now is the perfect time to do it,” Labbett said. “Cavanagh has its paving equipment here to do the level crossing replacing the bridge on Road 38. “So there will be an economy of scale involved.” Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven told Council they’d have to scale back plans for boat ramps that had been budgeted for to two instead of three because of cost. Neven recommended the Township go ahead with ramp renovations on Long Lake and Eagle Lake at a cost of $49,000. “We had budgeted $45,000 for three ramps ($15,000 each),” he said. “But since Big Gull Lake is shared with North Frontenac Township, I

Inverary Indians celebrate a home run season mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Sports – Members of the Inverary ‘Autoglass Pluss’ Indians fastball league have plenty to celebrate as their season comes to a close; members of the bantam team finished their regular season 11-1 - or as coach Steve Hanley sees it, an unofficial 12-0. “We won all of our games, but one of them we only had six players so according to the rules we couldn’t actually play,” explained Hanley. “It was a tough and challenging year because a lot of the boys are working now and have social lives, so it was difficult to get a full squad out every time.” Despite attendance difficulties, the boys still managed to come together game after game and win. “The boys are very talented and they play as a team and that really is the most important thing,” said Hanley. The team played their final tournament on Aug. 8 in Amherstview and beat teams from Amherstview, Verona and Kingston to come out on top. “The boys fought very hard and we played with only 8 players,” said Hanley. “It was a true team effort. The kids displayed sportsmanship, class and athleticism.” Hanely has been coaching in the Inverary and Battersea area for the past 10 years and playing fastball for the past 27. This season marked his final season as coach and he was happy to go out with a bang.

“I’m going to trade in my scorebook for a fishing rod,” he said. “The boys are going to move on to junior’s men’s clubs and we had some coaches inquiring about players already.” Coaching has been a very satisfying endeavor for Hanley throughout the years and he has enjoyed watching the boys grow as both players and people. “I’m extremely proud of these boys. I’ve watched them grow up into fine young men and great ball players,” he said. “I like seeing them develop a passion for the game and they are a great bunch of kids.” To wrap up the season and celebrate their success, the boys played a special game on Aug. 12 against Napanee. The game was celebratory, but it was also a tribute to a local legend. “We wanted to host a tribute game for Bob Storring, one of the best pitchers around. He passed away a few years ago from cancer and he was an Inverary player. He is a great inspiration to many of the players on our team.” The future of the Inverary Indians in unclear with Hanley stepping down as coach, but he is sure that his players will move on to great things and he hopes they keep playing. “I’m walking away from the game very satisfied and I know that these fine young men will succeed in whatever they do,” he said. “There are many great players up for grabs next year, if any junior men’s or men’s clubs are looking for players and I hope to see these boys out there playing for those clubs.”

Road 38 park to be named after the late Coun. Bill Snyder “It’s fitting,” said Mayor Frances Smith. ••• Central Frontenac is changing its fire dispatch services to Smiths Falls from Kingston, at the request Fire Chief Bill Young and the monetary savings are substantial. “The cost from Kingston is going up in increments and instead of $9,800 per year, the cost will increase to $21,000 per year and equipment costs of $3,000 per year,” Young said. “The cost from Smiths Fall will be $13,668.” Young said Central Frontenac won’t need any new equipment and radios can remain on the same frequency. He said the Township

said Coun. Bill MacDonald. “But I see a lot of vehicles going by my house with kids who look under eight years old. “I wonder how much the public is aware they’re not allowed.” “It’s up to each individual to know the Highway Traffic Act,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “I don’t think anybody wants to disallow ATVs in this Township,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. ••• New construction value for July of this year was at $605,600, Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven told Council. “July is a funny kind of month,” Neven said. “We’ve ranged from $80,000 (in 2013) to $846,000 (in

2014). “But everything is OK this year. Everyone I talk to in neighbouring municipalities says things are kind of slow.” ••• Everything is moving ahead construction-wise with the new Parham Fire Hall, Chief Bill Young told Council. “We expect to have everything completed by the second week in November,” he said. “You’d better not have any official opening during the first week of November, said Coun. Bill MacDonald. The first week of November is the opening of deer hunting season. R0013419953

News — At the suggestion of Coun. Bill MacDonald, Central Frontenac Council decided to name the roadside park on Road 38 in Hinchinbrooke District (4) after the late Bill Snyder. Snyder was 65 when he died in office last year from complications related to diabetes. He had served on Hinchinbrooke Council for 20 years, following a family tradition, before becoming a councilor for the newly amalgamated Central Frontenac Township in 2001. The park, essentially a small turnoff with picnic tables, was a pet project of Snyder’s.

has no contract with Kingston. He said the changeover will take 100 days because of 911 requirements. ••• Central Frontenac Council passed a bylaw to mesh its ATV on-road use with the Provincial law. This means side-by-side units can travel on the shoulders on municipal roads, provided the vehicle and riders conform to the Highway Traffic Act. For example, all riders will require helmets and/or seatbelts and footrests where applicable. Children under the age of eight are not allowed on any ATV or Off-Road vehicle operating on-road. “I’m pretty sure I’m right here,”

More choices than I ever imagined. That works for me.

Editorial

In Our Opinion

Seniors baseball - it’s a lot like being 12 years old again Column — As sporting contests go, this was hardly the Series of the Century. But, it was a lot of fun. You see, last weekend, the Cloyne Grey Jays came to Arden (we don’t seem to have a name, I’d like to propose The Aliens) to take on the local side for a game of seniors slow-pitch. And even though I’m on the DL this week with a strained Achilles tendon (an injury first sustained in a bi-weekly pickup game and re-aggravated in the weekend contest), I am looking forward to a little more softball before the snow flies again. It was a helluva game by the way, even though there seems to be some dispute about the final score and even who won for that matter. But for the record, we’re claiming victory, with an approximate score of 2724 for the seven-inning game. On offense, the local side used a

balanced attack, highlighted by a grand slam from OF/P John Pur-don, John Purdon, John Pur-don and a bases-loaded triple from your intrepid columnist, aka the shortstop (and I do apologize for that slider to the plate that would’ve nailed the runner by two feet if it had been straight). Defensively, CF Gord Brown probably had the most put-outs but 2B Lorne Harrison made a major contribution with not one, but two stabs of frozen rope line drives. Lorne then left the game to fire up the barbecue. The weather was grand, not too hot or too cool, no rain and the bugs were essentially non-existent (although the one mosquito there did manage to find me, what do these things eat when they can’t get Ukrainian). ••• That was quite the hailstorm in Sharbot Lake the other night, eh? We get the odd hailstorm but last Tuesday at about 5:45 p.m. the skies opened up and the hail came down. It must have lasted a good 20 minutes (who times these things anyways?) and there was quite the collection of hailstones piled up in the corner by the kitchen door at Oso Hall.

Kanata Kourier-Standard

There were reports of stones larger than peas but all the ones at Oso were about half that size. No reports of any damage but it’s likely there’s a garden or two that took a beating. ••• Just found out about this late on deadline day. Chief Doreen Davis has announced the election for Chief and Council of the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation will be held Oct. 10, 2015. The election will be for one Chief and five Councilors for a three-year term. It will be a mail-in election and ballots are to be sent to each person on the Algonquin Negotiation Representative 2014 Voters List. The mail-outs should be complete by Sept. 9 and are due back Oct. 9 by 5 p.m. Nomination forms may be obtained from the Chief Electoral Office at 24719 Hwy. 7, Sharbot Lake. Nominations for Chief or Council will be accepted until Aug. 26 at the office until 3 p.m. The Voters List will be posted in the Office.

Proof of a parallel universe or simple misremembering? Editorial – Some are calling it a conspiracy, others say it is proof of a parallel universe, but is it really just a case of misremembering? Believe it or not all of this debate is coming from the popular children’s book series about anthropomorphized bears – the Berenstain Bears. These furry creatures are some of the most beloved children’s literature characters of the modern age. Their adventures and day-to-day activities taught and still teach many valuable lessons to kids, many coming from the mishaps of Brother and Sister Bear. The books and videos are shown in schools and read at home by parents, but are the newer versions just a little different? Over the past few weeks, many have been outraged to discover that the popular family’s name is in fact spelt BerenstAin instead of BerenstEin. Some discovered this difference while reading to their kids, while others learned about it through the news. But why is it such a big deal? Some people are claiming that this shift is so significant it shows there is an alternate reality, a glitch in the matrix, if you will. Across the Internet two teams have formed: Team Stein and Team Stain. Several theorists are even weighing in on the issue stating that all of this proves what is called the ‘Mandela Effect’ a theory that is the brainchild of Fiona Broome. The theory pulls its name from when a large group of people all had vivid memories of Nelson Mandela dying in prison. The theory reasons that if there is a large population of people who all share a similar false memory, then the phenomenon is “related to alternate history and parallel realities.” The simpler explanation for all of this seems to be a bunch of people simply misremembering the spelling of a name. We feel this is the better explanation and maybe all of this arguing and hypothesizing points to our inability as humans to admit that we are wrong. Whatever you choose to believe, the reality is that the series is and always has been about the Berenstain Bears, end of story.

Perth mayor (and recent card carrying member of the Liberal Party) running as NDP candidate in Lanark – Frontenac - Kingston mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – John Fenik is no stranger to municipal politics – the long-time Perth resident has been a councilor and a deputy mayor, and is now serving his third term as mayor in the eastern Ontario town. Fenik is also no stranger to the Liberal Party of Canada and until recently was a proud, card carrying member of the party; then last winter his views shifted. “I saw Mr. Mulcair standing up and talking about the issues that were important to me and I saw Mr. Trudeau taking a sort of neutral backseat position,” explained Fenik. “Mr. Trudeau’s position on Bill C-51 is what really struck me and made me question myself. When the NDP approached me I felt very sincerely that their policies were the ones I wanted to back.” Fenik was acclaimed as the NDP federal candidate in the LanarkFrontenac-Kingston riding this past spring and he hasn’t looked back since. “I feel like the NDP needs a strong voice in this very, very blue Conservative riding and I think I can be that voice,” he said. Fenik moved to Perth over 30 years ago. He intended to stay for six months for a job before moving out west, but that never happened. He and his wife fell in love with the community and built their life there and now Fenik intends on helping other families do the same. “As I am going through the riding my number one concern is the economy,” he explained. “We are faltering and we are in a recession, as the Prime Minister admitted. We have to address the economy and we have to get people back to work - and I am talking about work that isn’t partial contract work with no benefits. We need people that are secure in good jobs.” Other concerns for Fenik include

demographics will have more of a say. “This riding is so huge and I think with this redrawing we see a bit of a different demographic in the riding itself. Who knows, maybe that demographic is less conservative minded and more on the left-leaning side of things.” Fenik hopes that his track record in municipal politics shows he is ready to support the riding and the people within it. His main focus is giving a voice to everyone. “To me, being MP means being in the riding, listening to concerns and acting on them and I truly am a grass roots, need to be in the riding type of person,” said Fenik. “I think I have the skills, energy, knowledge and drive to make this riding a better place and really seize on the benefits, beauty, assets and creativity of the people in John Fenik is the federal NDP candidate for MP of the Lanark-Frontethis riding going forward.” Photo/Submitted For more information about John nac-Kingston riding. Fenik visit www.johnfenik.ndp.ca or look for him on Twitter or Facebook. Over the coming weeks, the Kingston Heritage and Frontenac Gazette will profile all candidates in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding.

access to affordable childcare, support for agriculture and local farms and better care for elderly, especially in this riding. “My mother-in-law recently fell at home and both of my in-laws are in their 80s and want to stay at home, but there is not a lot of support out there for seniors in their final years of life,” he said. “We need a plan for dying with dignity and support for our seniors.” Another major issue for Fenik and the NDP is repealing Bill C-51, a bill that Fenik says puts our ‘civil rights and liberties at risk’. “I understand that we want to protect the country and everyone against terrorism, but C-51 is a bill fraught with danger,” he said. “The way the bill is right now it gives power to put anyone under surveillance without any judicial oversight or without any civilian oversight. That is frightening to me and it should be to others too.” With all of these goals in mind, Fenik is looking forward to getting out and campaigning. He has taken an unpaid leave from his position as mayor in Perth and he wants to knock on lots of doors. He hopes that with the redrawing of the riding, new

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, August 20, 2015

The daily sartorial battle Column - Most mornings get off to a fairly decent start at my house. Steve leaves very early for work and Summer has taken to sleeping in until close to 8 a.m., which usually gives me a good hour or so to sit in peace and drink the better part of a pot of coffee. Even when Summer gets up, things usually remain quite peaceful for the first bit. She’s old enough now that she can get out of bed and come downstairs on her own, and she always comes straight over to me so we can cuddle for a few minutes. Then she has breakfast, usually while watching whatever her favourite cartoon of the moment happens to be. Then the time comes to get dressed for the day and all hell breaks loose. I’ve given up on sneaking upstairs to pick out what she will wear while she’s having breakfast because anymore she never, EVER wants to wear what I choose. Even if she has proclaimed my choice her absolute favourite dress in the world on Sunday, she will vehemently reject it if I dare to suggest that she wear it on Monday. For a while I tried to let Summer choose her own outfits, but that only led to a different kind of battle. She’d rummage through her drawers, throwing most articles of clothing onto the floor in the process, and insist that she wear three skirts at the same time, and/or a long-sleeved shirt with a sweater overtop on a 35 degree day. “But I LIKE being too hot,” she screamed as I tried to explain why her choice was not weather appropriate. A third tactic – throwing a bunch of

pre-approved clothes on her bed and letting her choose from the pile – worked for a while, until she caught wise and realized mommy was essentially still picking out what she would be wearing. Then, of course, she started rejecting all the clothes in the pile in favour of the most random/unseasonal combination she could possibly come up with from what was left in the drawers. Long story short, I have yet to find a solution to our daily sartorial battle. I’m all for her choosing her own outfits and expressing herself through what she wears, but it appears that she’s deliberately rebelling against my rules in a fairly nuanced way that I find a little surprising in a three year old. Then, of course, the toddler temper will kick in on top of it. The other day I waited out a 15-minute long tantrum, all over how she didn’t want to wear her pink dress with the hearts on it that I made her wear because nothing else was clean. (She loved it last week, by the way.) Putting the seemingly unseasonal clothes away elsewhere for a few months seems like a logical option, but often sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, etc. are genuinely needed in the summertime and it’s easier to have them close at hand. Plus, knowing Summer she would likely figure out where I had put them anyway, giving her even more fuel to try and insist on wearing the irresistible forbidden clothing. Maybe there is no solution. Maybe this is just a phase she’s going through and it will be over soon, or maybe this stubborn rebelliousness is going to be part of her personality for life. Either way, I suppose there are worse things than being strong-willed…some day I’m sure it will come in handy for her and I’ll look back at these challenges and laugh. (Full disclosure: I already find it sort of funny.)

Grenadier Football Club wants to ensure teens can play football no matter what this fall By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Sports – As kids gear up for back to school, many of them are wondering if sports will be a part of their upcoming school year. Ongoing labour disputes may impact many KASSAA sports including football. Luckily, the Limestone District Grenadier Football Club has come up with a contingency plan. “We sat down as a club and we decided to create a fall house league. If the kids want to come out and play, they can,” explained Alexandra Walsh, executive director of the club. “There was a lot of talk on the sidelines and kids wanted to know if they were going to be able to play. This allows them that opportunity no matter what happens.” Currently, the Grenadier Club puts together teams and competes in varsity league football, equivalent to AAA hockey; while they thought about just adding a few more teams this year, creating a house league seemed like a better option. “We didn’t want to put a rep team together because it leaves too many kids behind,” said Walsh. “We just want to give these kids an opportunity to keep playing a sport they love, even if they can’t play it at school.” Registration for the league is now open and as players register they will be grouped by area, making practices and tryouts a bit easier. As things progress, teams

will be established and Walsh expects there to be about 10-12 teams in total. “Once the word got out that we were doing this we have been approached by leagues in Gananoque and Belleville and we were happy to invite as many people in as possible,” she said. “The interest has been a bit overwhelming, but really great.” Cost for registration in the fall league would be similar to the fees associated with playing high school football. Walsh is even in talks with corporate sponsors to help offset some costs and any leftover money will be given to local high schools for their football programs going forward. “We are not in this to make money, we just want to give the kids an opportunity to play no matter what,” said Walsh. So what happens if the teachers and school boards work out their issues before school starts? “If this gets all resolved before school starts or in the first week we will pull the plug and everyone will go back to their high school teams. We are not going to interfere with that,” said Walsh. Walsh emphasizes that this new fall league is a one-time thing that is simply being put out there as a way to keep players active and competitive. The Grenadiers have no interest in trying to compete with high school football. “Best case scenario for us is that the teachers and the boards reach an agreement and we can all sit back and enjoy the high school

football like always,” she said. “We are simply a back up plan at this point.” For many students, football is a huge part of high school and for some it even leads to opportunities at post-secondary institutions; Walsh and the Grenadiers are hoping to keep those opportunities alive for players. “Football is such a part of life lessons, teamwork and these kids carry that with them for the rest of their lives,” she said. “We get what the teachers are fighting for and we support it and we understand, but at the same time, for some kids, sports are a huge part of their education and we don’t want to see that suffer.” For more information about the Grenadiers fall house league or to register visit www.gmen.ca or look for them on Facebook.

The Limestone Grenadier Football Club is offering a special fall house league for players this year in the hopes of keeping secondary school football alive. Photo/Submitted

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED-COUNTY OF FRONTENAC’S 150TH ANNIVERSARY

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – On Monday Aug. 10, nearly 100 people, plus Stormy the donkey, gathered at the entrance of the Frontenac Institution; they were there to remember the farm that was once an integral part of the institution, and show others that this is an issue they are not giving up on. The vigil for the closed prison farms happens every year and this year marked the fifth anniversary of the closings; but while the night was an annual affair for many in attendance, it was just another Monday for a few. “I have been out here every Monday since they shut down the farm,” said Ros Hanes. “It was something that we could do to help the cause. Not everyone can go out and get arrested or phone their MP or write an eloquent letter – this is our way of contributing and showing that this is important to us.” When Hanes began coming out there was a group of 10 individuals that joined her, but over the years and after another Conservative win in the election of 2011, the numbers decreased. Now, Hanes is one of three individuals that come out each week. “For us it has become a habit. People see us and they wonder what we are doing and what the cause is,” said Hanes. “We hope that we are raising awareness and people will go home and look up the issue. Sometimes we get people pulling over and asking, too. We are still making a difference.” This year’s anniversary vigil and the com-

Small Classes Hands-On Training

Nearly 100 Kingstonians gathered at the entrance to the Frontenac Institution on Aug. 11 to mark the fifth anniversary of the prison farm shut down. Photo/Mandy Marciniak ing weeks are especially important to Hanes and all of those still involved in the Save Our Prison Farms campaign. With the federal election now well underway, members of the group are hoping that the prison farms will be an important issue to candidates and voters in the riding. “This was definitely an issue in 2011 in this riding and we plan to have it raised as an issue during this campaign too,” said Dianne Dowling, long-time member of the Save Our Prison Farms group. “We will be asking the candidates questions at the debates and inquiring about where they stand in terms of the prison farms and we know that some of the opposition parties have already said that they would like to restore the program.” The farms were shut down by the Harper government in 2010. According to the government, the farms were losing $4 million a year, a figure that was never confirmed. The shutdown made little sense to many people, including Dowling. “People saw the value of work there. Lots of people saw the farm as work skill, therapy and as a way to keep people busy,” said Dowling. “We are still fighting for reinstatement and what we feel is betterment in our justice system - that is what all of this comes down too.” Dowling hopes that voters keep these issues in mind as they decide whom to vote for this fall. She encourages people to ask questions and learn more about the issues. Hanes agrees; she says she hopes that this fall will be a turning point for the issue, but until then she remains committed to her Monday night post. “It just seems like it’s the best thing I can do,” she said. “We’ll see what happens in October.”

Ottawa Senators bringing Hometown Tour to Kingston adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators are bringing players and some pre-season excitement to their fans with the second annual Hometown Tour, starting Aug. 18. The tour sees 12 days of free events at Canadian Tire locations in 12 different communities in eastern Ontario and western Quebec featuring two Senators players interacting with fans and signing autographs. Senators defenceman Cody Ceci took part in some of the tour stops last year and will be again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meeting all the fans was a great time and to see all the support was really cool for us,â&#x20AC;? said Ceci. The events aim to get fans to show their Sens pride to win tickets and display their skills with some interactive games. Those include ball hockey matches, mini stick games on mini inflatable rinks, a shot speed and accuracy test and more, said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of fan and community development, Aaron Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lots of opportunities to interact with the fans,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The Hometown Tour) is a chance for us to get out and thank fans and get ready for the season.â&#x20AC;? Robinson said he expects there to be more prizes available this year, with fans able to sign up to win free tickets to Senators games, as well as ticket giveaways for people who show up in their best Sens gear to show their love for the

team. But the main attraction is the players, who will sign autographs at each event. The Senators will reveal which players will be at which tour stop the Monday before the tour. Hometown Tour stops will take place at the following locations: Aug. 18 - Alexandria at 400 Main St. South from 1:30 to 5 p.m. - Gloucester in Ottawa at 2010 Ogilvie Rd. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 19 - Gatineau at 700 Maloney Blvd. West from 2 to 5:30 p.m. - Hull at 355 Blvd. de la CarriĂ¨re from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 20 - Cornwall at 201-9th St. East from 2 to 5:30 p.m. - Casselman at 95 Lafleche Blvd. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 25 - Renfrew at 1050 Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Rd. from 2 to 5:30 p.m. - Carleton Place at 485 McNeely Ave. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 26 - Kingston at 59 Bath Rd. from 1:30 to 5 p.m. - Perth at 45 Dufferin St. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 27 - Nepean at 1820 Merivale Rd. from 2 to 5:30 p.m. - Kemptville at 311 Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well Dr. in the Lambton Mall from 4 to 7:30 p.m.

Autographs will be given to those with wrist bands only, with more than 200 available at each Canadian Tire location starting at 9 a.m. on the day of the tour stop. The event is both a chance for Senators players to see fans from far and wide, but also see a bit more of the communities their fans call home, said Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fans travel a ways to come see us a lot of times, and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our turn to go to them and get our players to see what eastern Ontario and western Quebec is all about because sometimes they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nec- The Ottawa Senators are hitting the road for their pre-season Homeessarily get out past Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? he said. town Tour, taking place from Aug. 18 to 27 at Canadian Tire locations Ceci said he was amazed by the atten- from Kingston to Gatineau.

26 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, August 20, 2015

Top five most haunted places in Kingston News - Kingston’s Haunted Walk has been spooking locals and tourists alike for 20 years now; in fact, the business has been so successful it recently expanded to Toronto and Ottawa. So just what is it that keeps people so intrigued when it comes to the ghosts that many believe haunt various historic corners of the Limestone City? To find out, the Heritage sat down with Morgan Anderson, tour manager for Haunted Walks Kingston, to get her take on the city’s top five most haunted places. Here they are, in no particular order: 1) The Prince George Hotel, a.k.a. Tir Nan Og Irish Pub, a.k.a. the Haunted Walk of Kingston ticket office. Anderson says a great many people have had ghostly encounters in the building: “The hotel is no longer operational but when it was, cleaning staff would see and hear strange things coming from the rooms - lights and radios turning on and off or doors slamming shut behind them.” Many have seen a shadowy figure of a woman, widely believed to be the ghost of young Lily Herchemer, who lived in the building in the early 1800s. Lily had a bit of a romance with a sailor who worked down in the harbour, but her parents did not approve. “She would often times hang a lit lantern from her windowsill to let him know that it was safe to come and visit,” Anderson says. “One night this caused a fire and Lily was killed in the fire, so we think she may be the ghost haunting the building to this day.” 2) Skeleton Park – officially it’s McBurney Park, but of course no one ever calls it that – and for good reason. “It’s one of our earliest and largest cemeteries, but when the cemetery started getting worn down, the City decided not to take out all of the bodies,” Anderson explains. “So beneath the park to this day there are still many bodies and gravestones.” If fact, if you visit the park today, you can still see gravestones sticking out of the grass in places. One day in the not-so-distant past, a Queen’s student was returning to her home adjacent to the park, and claimed to have something of a vision. “She happened upon a cemetery outside her home, which she did not remember being there beforehand… in the morning it was gone again and the city park was in its place,” says Anderson. 3) The ‘secret’ alleyway behind Chez Piggy, The Toucan, etc. Many

people have visited the alley with Ouija boards on separate occasions and reported receiving the exact same message: that it is haunted by a woman named Theresa Ignace Beam. “She is supposed to have been murdered back in 1868 and her bones are supposed to be buried in the basement of an adjacent store,” Anderson says. “But we don’t actually know if her bones are there because nobody has found them yet, so it remains a bit of a mystery.” 4) Chalmers United Church Anderson calls the church one of the creepiest places Haunted Walk researchers have attended. “They’ve talked to several different women who had experiences in the church, and even though none of them know that anyone else has had these experiences they’re all almost identical,” she says. All of these women have reported feeling like they weren’t actually alone in the building when practicing at the organ. They all felt like someone - or something – was trying to harm them, and when they tried to leave, got the distinct impression this presence was following them. “We’ve had so many reports just like that it’s kind of hard to write it off as anything but some sort of supernatural thing,” Anderson notes. 5) Fort Henry – Multiple rooms of what is arguably Kingston’s most famous historical site are believed to be haunted, and the show Ghost Hunters even dedicated an episode

to the Fort. The Haunted Walk tour typically takes people to 11 of these rooms, and according to Anderson the bakery is one of the most haunted of them all. “It’s supposed to be haunted by a poltergeist, which is a noisy and playful spirit that does a lot of stuff but never actually makes a physical appearance.” Many other “figures” have also been seen around the Fort, and Anderson points out that indeed thousands ended their lives at the site. “Men were hanged for treason on the hill outside of the fort, and some simply dropped dead from the harsh Tour manager Morgan Anderson stands in front of the Prince George conditions of being a soldier in that Hotel, which is said to be one of the most haunted places in Kingston. time.” Photo/Hollie Pratt-Campbell So after giving countless tours and spending many hours in the There’s city’s most haunted places, does Anderson herself believe in ghosts? “Personally, I haven’t seen anything,” she says. “I’ve had people on my tours say that they’ve seen something so maybe they exist, but until I see one myself I don’t know if I’ll be a full believer.” Still, she encourages people to come out and hear the stories, which are typically quite chilling even for those who don’t believe. “Because it’s our 20th anniversary we plan on really spooking it up for Halloween this year,” she adds. 613-546-8885 “So if you’re looking at coming on a haunted walk this October is 1-888-WORD ADS probably a good chance.” To learn more, visit http:// hauntedwalk.com/kingston-tours/.

Rad kids a groundbreaking new farm camp Aric McBay

At the end of August our farm is hosting a new farm camp for kids, and we couldn’t be more excited. Rad Kids Farm Camp is the project of Marie Bencze, who spent years working on farms before starting her own farm education project, Rad Kids: “Participating in teaching the next generation about where food comes from is my great passion, and what better way than to bring children to a farm for summer camp!” The camp is for children aged 6-10 and will take place at our farm on Howe Island. It will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Aug. 24-28. Marie told me she chose our farm in part because of the diversity of work happening here. We have a large Community Shared Agriculture operation, which grows two acres of vegetables, as well as an organic dairy. “There are rolling pastures, woods, cultivated gardens, baby

calves, chickens, a wonderful farm dog,” said Marie. “It’s the perfect setting for a day camp whose theme is the ecology of a farm.” Activities will include seeding, weeding & harvesting vegetables, feeding calves, nature walks, arts and crafts, and other food and farmthemed games and activities. The kids will get the best of farm life without having to ride a school bus for three hours a day, or get up to clean stalls early in the morning. The suggested cost of the camp is $250, with a sliding scale of $175-375. The sliding scale model—which we also use for our vegetable CSA—makes the camp more accessible by allowing parents and guardians to choose what they can afford to pay for their child to experience the camp. Because the camp takes place here on Howe Island, the fee includes transportation from downtown Kingston. In the future, Marie hopes to expand the camp and offer multiple weeks in the summer for differ-

ent age groups. “There is a lot of room to grow this summer camp, and I look forward to expanding to be able to include many more age groups.” Rad Kids will also soon be offering in-class workshops in elementary schools in Kingston, and Marie hopes to expand into offering resource kits with local farmers by the spring of next year. Marie is excited: “It’s a new project, full of budding potential with the overall goal of rooting kids in agriculture.” There will be two adults supervising and a maximum of ten children. To learn more about the Farm Camp, find Rad Kids on Facebook, or email Marie at radkidsradkids@ gmail.com. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. He lives and works at a mixed family farm with a dairy herd and a Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) vegetable operation. For more about the vegetable CSA, visit rootradicalrows.com.

Events – Since 2013, Wayne Leeman has been driving a bus for the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area. Each day he sees the need for the facility and the impact it makes on the kids, but he wanted to do more to help. “I was involved with the Ride for Dad for a number of years and my wife and I always wanted to get something similar going for the kids,” he explained. “I approached Mike (Corkey) about the idea and we decided to go for it.” Last year, Leeman and Corkey organized the first ever ‘Ride for Kids’ in Kingston. They had six weeks to put it all together and they weren’t sure what to expect, but they were pleasantly surprised when 65 motorcyclists showed up. “It was such a great turnout for out first year and we raised $2,200,” said Leeman. “This year we hope to double or even triple that amount.” On Aug. 23, the second annual Ride for Kids will take place. The ride will take off from the Boys and Girls Club location at Frontenac Mall and will take riders on a 191-kilometer leisure ride throughout the area. “We keep it simple and easy,” said coorganizer Mike Corkey. “This year we’ve even thrown in three special stops on the route and at each stop participants will have to find something and answer a question. When they get back that answer sheet will go into a ballot box and we’ll draw for a grand prize.” This year’s grand prize is a free undercoating from Krown, one of the many local supporters of the ride. Other businesses

like Best Buy, Partsource, MotoSport Plus, and Unique Cycle have also donated prizes and gift certificates for participants. “The community support has been incredible already and we hope people will come out to participate and support the kids,” said Leeman. “There will also be a BBQ after the ride and free tours of the new facility will be offered.” Registration for the ride is $25 for a single rider or $40 for a couple, but the registration fee will be waived for participants who have received $100 in pledges for their ride. All of the proceeds from the event will go toward youth programs at the club, an area of programming that currently receives no funding. “We offer 22 hours of free youth programs each week after school with no charge to the teenagers who want to participate,” explained Tony Gargaro, operations manager at the Boys and Girls Club. “Youth can come and get homework help, get physically active, learn about nutrition and hang out with their peers. It is a great cause.” Leeman hopes that at least 150 motorcyclists come out for the event this year and he suspects that if the weather is good they may see even more. Overall, he just hopes to provide some support for the kids. “It should be a fun day and it is definitely a worthy cause,” he said. “I see the kids first hand and they need help. We want to keep them in these programs.” The Ride for Kids takes place on Aug. 23 at Frontenac Mall. Registration opens at 9 a.m. For more information look for the event on Facebook or contact Mike Corkey at 613.888.5862 or at mikecorkey@hotmail. com .

This Christmas was a different and memorable one for Mary Lifestyle - Was it really so long ago, on that special Christmas morning when everything was the same as other Christmas mornings, but so very different on looking back? That special day, of course, didn’t allow for special privileges. We still had early morning chores to do, we had to have a full breakfast, the kitchen had to be redded up, and we had to be fully dressed, and ready for church, all

before we got near the Christmas tree propped in a corner of the kitchen. The tree was always in the kitchen, even though the blasts from the old Findlay Oval, caused it to shed, and leave it with pretty scant branches by the time Christmas morning rolled around. Putting up the tree in the parlour, the smallest room in the old log house was never an option. As soon as the first blasts of winter hit Northcote, the room was closed up with a rolled braided rug shoved tight against the door to keep out the draft, and it would stay that way until the snow was gone. So there was the tree, propped in a corner by the icebox, anchored with wires into the wainscoting to keep it from falling over. Finally, we had done the chores, had our breakfast, we were dressed for church, and

Father moved over to the tree, sat down on the floor, and made a great pretense of not being able to ready the cards Santa had attached to each parcel. On other Christmas mornings, we were handed out stockings first. These weren’t the fancy red felt stockings you could buy at the Dime Store for ten cents...these were Father’s grey work socks, each with a name attached to the top. No, that morning, we were handed the parcels first. There were the usual hand-knit mitts, a small book...we always could count on a book...and a small toy. I remember mine as if it were handed to me yesterday...it was a small game of Chinese checkers. It looked very much like the very same game I had seen in the Dime Store weeks before. But I was thrilled. Especially when I found it wrapped inside my very first pair of long white stockings!!! Such luxury was simply beyond me! I had never owned a pair of white stockings before. Finally, all that was left were the five stockings. As Father picked the first one up, he told us we were not to look inside until everyone had his stocking in his hand. It all sounded very mysterious to me, but it added to the excitement. I knew for a fact there would be an orange in the toe. We always got an orange - our once-a-year orange! When Father was sure we each had our stockings, he gave us the nod that we could dig into them. I couldn’t understand why we all had to do it at once, the stockings were usually not too interesting, but that morning, Father and Mother seemed more excited that any of us five children. The first thing we found was an envelope with our name on it. It was Mother’s writing, and the envelope was the kind we used back then - flimsy and blue lined. Well, let me tell you, when we ripped into the envelope, you could hear the yells in Renfrew. Inside each was a crisp $1 bill! Not one of us had ever, in our entire lives, had a $1 bill! I had once been able to amass 33 cents tied in the corner of my hankie and

thought I was rich beyond means. But a whole dollar in the form of a bill? Unheard of. “Where did it come from?” I was the first to ask. And then Mother explained it all to us. Uncle Lou, our rich uncle from New York, the one with the big black Buick. The uncle who wore pressed grey flannels. The uncle who put the terrazzo floor in the Waldorf Astoria, had sent Mother a $5 bill, and she was to have it changed at the bank in Renfrew, and each of us five children was to have a whole dollar in our stocking! Mother laughed when she told us how she had to go into the bank with an American $5 bill, and change it into Canadian money...and how the teller had to know all about it. And I knew Mother would have told her about her rich brother in New York, and how good he was to all of us, all the way out there in Northcote. Emerson, Everett and Earl folded their dollars into small squares and squirreled them away into their Sunday pants pockets. Audrey put hers in her shoe, which I thought was a silly place for a dollar bill, but then I knew she would likely show it off to her friend Iva at church. I knew mine would go into the little drawer of my washstand upstairs...not tied in the corner of my hanky. Oh no! It would be laid out flat under my pile of hankies, and I wouldn’t spend it on something foolish. The rest of what was in our stockings paled in comparison to our crisp $1 bills. In fact, by the time we were in the sleigh on the way to the Lutheran Church in Northcote, I couldn’t remember a thing in my stocking, except of course the $1 bill. And the orange. May I take this opportunity to wish all of you the most merriest of Christmases. And my prayer is that you will be surrounded by loved ones, and remember the true message in this joyous time of year.

By Craig Bakay Reporter

News — Preparations for The County of Frontenac Celebrating 150 Years bash at Centennial Park

in Harrowsmith are all but complete as the clock winds down towards the Aug. 28-30 event, said Anne Marie Young, event coordinator and manager of economic development for the County.

“Everything is tickety-boo, knock wood,” she said. “South Frontenac Township (where Harrowsmith is located) has been working hard to get the site ready.” Young estimated that they have 100 volunteers lined up for everything from helping with parking to helping find lost kids. “Well, we have 100 volunteer Tshirts, and it looks like we’re going to need all of them over the threeday event,” she said. She said they’re expecting 10,000 visitors to the once-in-alifetime event. “That’s my goal,” she said. “We’ve done a lot of advertising — newspapers, radio, TV, at special events and social media.” There’s no charge at the gate or for any of the attractions, save for the costume ball Saturday night at 9 p.m. in the Harrowsmith Golden Links Hall ($20 per person). And Young had a bit of advice for attendees. “Remember that it is an outdoors event, rain or shine,” she said. “You

Overcoming the winter blues At the Nova Health Naturopathic Centre http:// novahealthnaturopathic.com/ in Kingston, we understand that winter isn’t for everyone. The cold weather, large amounts of snow, and lack of sunlight can put a damper on your spirits. However, you don’t have to live with these winter blues. There are several ways you can beat the winter blues, also known as seasonal affective disorder. For one, you should get outside in the natural daylight as much as you can, particularly on bright days. While you’re out, you should be active (taking walks, etc.) If you can’t get outdoors, sit near windows whenever possible to soak in the natural light. You should also try to keep warm. Research has shown that staying warm can decrease the winter blues by half. Set your thermostat to between 18°C and 21°C (64°F and 70°F) and wear warm and comfortable clothing. Additionally, you can overcome the winter blues by maintaining a healthy diet. Eating healthy will give you tons of energy, improve your mood, and prevent you from gaining weight.

Other tips for beating the winter blues include starting a new hobby, spending time with family and friends, and light therapy. At Nova Health, we specialize in a wide variety of naturopathic solutions that will not only help you beat the winter blues but also optimize your health. Book today to see what intravenous (IV) therapy, acupuncture, and nutritional guidance can do for you. Contact us http://novahealthnaturopathic.com/ contact-us.html today to learn more. The Nova Health Naturopathic Centre is located at 67 Brock Street in Kingston.

might want to be prepared if it looks like rain. “Oh, and if you plan to sit and listen to music, you might want to bring a folding chair. We do have some chairs but not 10,000 of them.” There are a plethora of events planned, some historical and some more modern. Like anyone, Young has a few that she’s particularly looking forward to. “I’m excited about the Historical Re-enactment,” she said. “The participants are camping out at the site using historical tents and gear and there’s a battle planned (Sunday from 1-2 p.m., just before the closing ceremonies. “We’re going to have a Ferris wheel — how long has it been since there has been one of those anywhere in Frontenac County? “And, we’re also looking forward to the fireworks display (Friday at 9:30 p.m.). It will be bigger than the displays you usually see at events in the County like Canada Day.”

UHKF announces $3 million donation for second MRI at KGH By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – It is estimated that 1,000 Kingston area residents are waiting for a complex Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. With these numbers in mind, University Hospitals Kingston Foundation set out to raise funds for a new MRI in Kingston and on Aug. 11, their campaign received a large boost –a donation of $3 million over the next six years. The donation is being made by longtime Kingstonian Britton Smith and will be given through a gift shared between Homestead Land Holdings Ltd. and the Britton Smith Foundation. “This is just an extraordinary gift to everyone in our community,” said Denise Cumming, executive director, University Hospitals Kingston Foundation. “Mr. Smith has made generous donations to all of our hospitals over the years and this is just extraordinary.” The donation is the third largest that UHKF has received in its 10 year history and the largest form an individual or business. Homestead and the Britton Smith Foundation have donated over $1.3 million to KGH in he past and over $4 million when combined with support provided to Hotel Dieu and Providence Care. Britton was on hand as the announcement was made at Kingston General Hospital and explained why he was compelled to donate.

“My motivation is a purely selfish act. A lot of people that live in this city live in Homestead buildings and some of them work for Homestead too and it is vitally important for me to keep them healthy,” said Britton. “This is a wonderful diagnostic tool and if you can find out what is wrong with people faster and get them healthier then we all benefit.” The cost of an MRI machine is approximately $6 million and with Mr. Britton’s donation, fundraising is well ahead of schedule. It is estimated that the new MRI will be constructed and operating in approximately 24 months. “About 500 donors have contributed to this project and we are delighted that it can now move forward sooner than anticipated,” said Susan Creasy, newly appointed chair of the upcoming UHKF fundraising campaign. “Every dollar truly makes a difference for our community and the addition of a second MRI in Kingston will help cut the wait time for many who need it.” Kingston resident Mike Gardner understands the need first hand. Gardener suffered a stroke seven months ago and without easy access to an MRI doctors would not have been able to figure out what kind of stroke it was and act accordingly; because Gardner had a blood clot related stroke, doctors were able to give him a tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), which decreases the affects of the stroke and aids recovery.

“It helped me through my recovery and minimized some of the impact of the stroke,” explained Gardner. “In cases like mine you get moved to the front of the line and then everything else gets backed up so this new machine will help with a lot of those wait times and will also allow patients like me to still receive that level of care.” The new MRI will also provide care to ‘tertiary care patients’ that require special, highly skilled care including cancer

patients. “These patients can’t be serviced at the non-tertiary care MRI so this will open up a number of spots for them to have everything they need done and it will lead to quicker diagnosis and treatment,” explained Annette McCallum, Clinical Department Head, Diag. Radiology at KGH. “This gift is really helping so many people receive the care they need and for that we are so grateful.”

Britton was floored by the number of people who came out to the announcement to thank him and even joked that he would be donating anonymously next time so as not to receive so much attention. “I just wanted to do something to help,” he said. “When I realized how many people are in need of this machine in the community and how long some need to wait to have access to it, I wanted to do something and help.”

One of the biggest trends in education today involves “blended learning.” Although blended learning is a new buzzword, Academy of Learning College http://www. academyoflearning.com/on/?mid=18878 in Kingston, Ontario, has been delivering education through a blended learning methodology for more than 25 years. Academy of Learning College, provides high-quality, fully supported, self-paced learning for students of all ages through courses in areas such as Accounting, Health Care, Information Technology, Web Design and many more. Academy of Learning College is a registered career college with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities of Ontario and offers 22 approved diplomas and certificate programs. In short, blended learning is a form of education where a student learns through a combination of Facilitator interaction and digital or online media. In-person facilitated learning is combined with computer-based learning. This approach has many benefits — it allows students more control over their time, utilizes technology that is everywhere today, and enables people to learn at their own pace. With so many advantages, it is easy to see why many schools are now adopting blended learning. However, this approach

to education is something that Academy of Learning College helped to pioneer. Successive generations of students http://aolkingston.com/?page_id=270 at Academy of Learning College have benefited from the blended learning approach and found that it gave them the freedom to learn on their own schedule, as well as helped them to develop computer skills that are vital in today’s work world. And blended learning is an approach that continues to be championed at the college today. With computers and tablets becoming more and more prevalent, providing instruction online and through digital channels just makes sense. Combined with Facilitator interaction, it provides an education that is unbeatable in today’s wired world. People in Kingston, Ontario, and beyond who want a practical education that will prepare them for the work world of today should contact Academy of Learning College. The number one, Canadian owned learning institution in Canada. To get more information about Academy of Learning College and the advantages they offer their students, please give the Kingston Campus a call at 613-544-8973, or visit their website. www.academyoflearning.com/ on/?mid=18878
