“I guess that’s progress… it probably takes the same length of time.” Redmond’s jovial attitude reflected that of the large group of community members who amassed to celebrate. All sorts of trail users were on hand to represent the many different ways the Frontenac K&P trail will be used: cyclists, hikers, runners, walkers, horseback riders, ATV users and even snowmobilers, who hitched their skidoos to the back of vehicles to demonstrate all the different disciplines and age groups that will share use of the trail. Similarly, there was a large cross-section of the organizations and government bodies that have worked “tirelessly together” to ensure dream of the Frontenac extension of the K&P Trail came to be realized, expressed Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith. “Thank you to all the County staff and all the municipal staff who have worked on this project for so long, and to the politicians who have gone before us who’ve helped to make this happen,” Smith said, making special mention of active community members Wayne Robinson and Marcel Giroux before focusing on all of the volunteer organizations that have also contributed to and supported the completion of the Frontenac K&P Trail. “This community is built on the volunteerism that happens every day,” Smith said, pointing to the CFRHS and the Central Frontenac Canada 150 Committee as being integral in making the day’s celebrations happen. “If it wasn’t for people like this, this community
tory of the Kick and Push Railway and Sharbot Lake’s railway heritage. Redmond thanked local supporters Kevin Browne and Carolyn Mitchell funding the project, one that is particularly close to Mitchell’s heart as she is the daughter of an Ontario railwayman. Representatives from all of the organizations and government bodies mentioned above were joined by those from the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance, who will be managing the Frontenac K&P Trail, as well as those from North Frontenac. All those in attendance formed a processional that paraded from Railway Heritage Park to Oso Beach, the bagpipes creating the same Doppler effect that the whistles on the trains would have done on the exact same path many years ago. Even for those who’ve worked
closely on the project, the day epitomized what happens when a community comes together to work toward a common goal. “It’s great, look at this huge community. We have as many people on bicycles as we do on ATVs, we’ve got our skidoos out… it’s quite an event. And all of these people use the trails regularly, and most of them are members of this community,” said Richard Allen, manager of economic development for Frontenac County. “This event was such an incredible confluence of the Canada 150 Committee, Trans Canada Trail, the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance the County, and the Railway Heritage Society… you don’t see that many groups working together that often.” Atlantic City & Philadelphia ................

would not be thriving the way that it is.” While the K&P Day celebration was initially intended to mark the grand opening of the trail, construction has been delayed due to the unforeseen length of time the completion of land acquisition paperwork has taken. That said, construction on the final stretch of the trail has begun, and the County of Frontenac has all agreements in place for the parcels of land that will be used along the rail bed – it is only a matter of time before the trail will be complete. “We’re hoping still for the end of this year, but there are some challenges and we’re awful close to having them ironed out,” said County Warden Ron Vandewal in his address to those in attendance. He indicated there will be an unveiling of a plaque marking opening of the trail later on. “We’re actually connecting the County all the way from the south to the north, and right onto the Trans Canada Trail, so anybody who wants to do the active lifestyle living, they absolutely can. They can’t get with their four-wheelers yet to the City of Kingston, but they can walk if they want from South Frontenac on,” Vandewal said with a laugh before Mayor Smith hollered out “We’re working on it!” “We’re working on it, but… definitely the City of Kingston is more interested in passive recreation on their trails, so… it would be a challenge. But anyway, that’s the hope." The event also acted as a Canada 150 celebration, as well as the opening of the nearly completed station display in Railway Heritage Park, Redmond explained. There, behind the caboose, a reproduction of the interior of the old railway station that once stood in the park is now on display, alongside a number of informative plaques explaining the his-

The 11th annual Verona Lions Garlic Festival interesting is that we have a lot of local growers will take place on Saturday, Sept. 2, and festival who come and we’ve seen that number rise in the organizers and vendors have been hard at work to last little while.

She’s spoken with people who have planted garlic in their flower beds when space has not allowed for a larger garden, as well as those who’ve moved into selling it themselves after mastering the art of growing garlic. “I really am happy to see some people that I know bought their garlic at the Garlic Festival years ago, planted it, and now they plant enough that they come back and sell it on their own,” Morey said. “If nothing else happens at the Garlic Festival, I think that’s worthwhile.” That said, a variety of other things do happen at the festival — and this year’s event is no exception. With live music all day, a handful of non-garlic vendors, a beer tent, a canteen, the Eastern Ontario Garlic Awards and even dog-sitting services on site, the festival offers fun for the whole family. Children’s activities include a nine-hole mini golf course, and of course, the popular train A huge variety of different garlic and garlic prod- rides that have entertained young festivalgoers year after year. ucts, such as the braided garlic shown here, will But, of course, it is garlic that is the star be on show and available at the 11th annual Ve- of the festival — and the thing that makes rona Lion's Garlic Festival, which takes place on the festival so special comes down to a Saturday, Sept. 2 this year. very simple yet important thing, Morey extstaff ord@metroland.com

Increase in ‘thefts of opportunity’ in Frontenac County prompts reminder from OPP
BY TORI STAFFORD
tstaff ord@metroland.com
There have been at least eight calls to the Frontenac Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) since July 1 regarding thefts
from unlocked vehicles. The OPP released a statement reminding the public to lock up their vehicles two weeks ago, and confirmed on Thursday, Aug. 24 that there has been an increase in thefts throughout the County – particularly in ‘thefts of opportunity,’

Const. Roop Sandhu of the OPP explained. “There has been a little spike in thefts, particularly in things like thefts from vehicles and people entering [private] property,” Sandhu said. “A lot of it might have just been opportunity, like people that are walking by or driving by maybe see an opportunity to take something, and then act on it.” Because of this, Sandhu said the OPP are urging the public to lock not only their vehicles, but also their sheds and garages, and to ensure they store any items of value out of public sight. Sandhu said that, while the number of these thefts is higher right now than it was last year at this time, the number of reported thefts seem to change by small amounts year over year. Further more, Sandhu said these numbers only reflect those thefts that are reported to the police, and urged anyone who’s noticed anything suspicious or had their own vehicles stolen from or gone through to contact the police a soon as an incident occurs. “I’m sure there are a lot of people who have had their vehicles gone through and have not called the police and not told us,” he said. “The big thing is if people do notice something, we want then to call the police right away.” When these types of crimes are reported immediately, not only can the police follow up and check on the reported activity while time is of the essence, it also means those reports go into the system so that police can track such incidents, Sandhu explained. “That way, it’s good for us for tracking to see
what areas it’s happening in so we can do patrols in those areas,” he said. The ‘thefts of opportunity’ are on top of three motorcycle thefts, three all-terrain vehicle (ATV) thefts, and two thefts of motor vehicles since July 1, according to the report from the OPP. There have also been reports of stolen boats and trailers in Frontenac County on social media. Police said locking your vehicle and ensuring there is nothing of value visible within it makes it far more difficult for criminals to steal that vehicle or its contents, no matter where the vehicle is parked. Sandhu also noted it’s important to lock any gates, and ensure boat trailers cannot be moved if members of the public are leaving their boats on trailers, either at home or at cottages. Other tips offered by the OPP to reduce the risk of thefts include: Never leaving your running vehicle unattended; ensuring your keys are on your person once you’ve parked and locked your vehicle; and parking your vehicle in well-lit areas at night. Sandhu also pointed out that the public can report an incident online at any time using www. opp.ca. “We just want to let people know just to be a little bit more vigilant,” Sandhu said. “It’s summertime, and people just kind of leave their things out and unlocked, but it’s a good habit to get into locking everything up.”

EDITORIAL Sir John A. Macdonald and the education of children I wanted to write about the whole Sir John A. Macdonald school controversy for my column this week. (In a nutshell: the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario is calling for the renaming of all schools in Ontario named after Sir John A. Macdonald because his horrifi c treatment of Indigenous peoples in Canada.) Then I chickened out, because really, who am I to weigh in on this debate? I’m not a historian or an Aboriginal person. This is the kind of subject I like to think and read a lot about, but I probably won’t add any new or helpful insights to the conversation. Then I started to write a column about my daughter going back to school and how I’m desperately trying to be organized this year in order to minimize ball dropping on things like pizza days. Because when you’re five and all your classmates are having pizza except you because your parents are frazzled scatterbrains, it’s a pretty catastrophic event. Then it hit me: Summer is going ‘back to school’ to a school named for Sir John A. Macdonald. Her school is among those in question. I actually covered the ground breaking of L’Ecole Sir John A. Macdonald Public School for this paper in, I think, 2010 or 2011 – before I became a mom
and before the conversation surrounding the way we remember Canada’s first PM really started to heat up. Still, I remember thinking at the time that in this day and age, it seemed a little weird to name a brand new school after Sir John A. Macdonald. My own elementary school was named after Sir Winston Churchill - far from a ‘perfect’ historical figure – but it was also founded in 1947, two years after the end of the Second World War, when Churchill was largely a figure revered by all. Surely, there is a wealth of revered people – Kingstonians, even – who are worthy of having a school named after them in the 2010s. Doesn’t Sir John A. have enough schools, boulevards, etc. named after him already? I remember my Grade 8 teacher at Winston Churchill Public School giving a lesson on Louis Riel. It stuck with me for a lot of reasons, not the least of which being that I grew up in a city that, arguably up until just recently, celebrated Macdonald in an unapologetic way. Oh yes, he was a bit of a drunk. That just adds a bit of levity to the lore, no? Etc. I hesitate to write on this subject because it’s just so messy. But my child attends a school named for a man who literally led a genocide against Indigenous people. I’d be lying if I said this didn’t feel weird and uncomfortable.
In the spirit of back-to-school, I’d like to suggest that all of us, regardless of age, are students of the world. Should we pretend Sir John A. never existed, and erase all his significant contributions to our lives today from historical memory? Of course not. But maybe us white people should open our minds to the idea that others have a different perspective on history than the one that we were brought up with, and it’s probably not always going to be warm and fuzzy. Questioning whether schools should be named after Macdonald is not “smearing the image of a great man�. It is a genuine re-examining of what these schools’ names represent. I can't say whether these schools should be re-named or not. But fundamentally, these are educational institutions. What is it, exactly, that we want to teach our kids? For my part, I want my girls to understand that in life, most things of value are messy. Nothing is black and white, be it relationships, art, or our understanding of history. If we must name a school after Sir John A., let’s name another after Louis Riel. Let's teach children about Confederation, but also about residential schools and how they destroyed the lives of many generations of Aboriginal people. To the best of our ability, let’s educate our children truthfully

Remembering the ‘labour’ in Labour Day Each year, Labour Day weekend marks the return to school and the reality that summer is almost over. But, what is Labour Day really about? Labour Day dates back to the 1880s in Canada, and its origins can be traced back to 1872 and several labour disputes. At the time, unions were illegal in Canada — but that didn’t stop the Toronto Printers Union, who had been lobbying for a shorter work week for more than three years. When their demands still weren’t met, they went on strike in March 1872, paralyzing the Toronto publishing industry. They were quickly joined by more and more workers, and on April 14 of that year, a group of 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto to Queen’s Park to make their voices heard. By the time the group reached Queen’s Park, there were more than 10,000 supporters marching — nearly a tenth of the city’s population at the time. While employers took notice of the action, they fought against it by taking legal action against workers. The leaders were arrested and many employers even brought in workers from other cities to fill the gaps. Luckily, Conservative Prime Minister John A. Macdonald took notice, too. He spoke out against employers and eventually passed the Trade Union Act, repealing the British law that criminalized unions. Strike leaders were released from jail and the movement continued. Workers did not reach their goals immediately following these events, but they realized that they could get the attention of employers — and more importantly, politicians — if they kept going and worked together. They started the Nine-Hour Movement and that quickly spread to other Canadian cities. Support grew over the years that followed, and supporters started holding annual parades to raise awareness about their cause. On July 23, 1894, Labour Day was declared a national holiday by then-prime minister Sir John Thompson. Today, Labour Day is celebrated with picnics, barbecues, trips to the cottage and spending time with family, and many people don’t realize the strife that occurred to get the day recognized as a holiday. So, take a moment to reflect on Labour Day this year. Remember Canada’s labour pioneers that helped lay the groundwork for so many labour movements that followed, and helped secure the rights and benefits that so many of us enjoy today.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
An open letter on racism and discrimination in Kingston and the Islands I was so pleased to hear about the anti-racism motion that was brought forward by Kingston City Council and I would like to commend Councillor Jeff McLaren for his work in this area. I am always dismayed to hear of any racism or discrimination in our city. Whether the discrimination is insidious, or blatant and outward, it is utterly unacceptable, and this kind of dialogue and behaviour has no place in our society. At this juncture, we have an opportunity to go much further. It is not enough to just build a society where outward racism and discrimination

is not acceptable and no longer occurs - however wonderful that would be. As we look outward and develop that critical framework to prevent and guard against discrimination, we must also look inward at our own actions, words, and behaviours and those of our friends, families and colleagues. We must strive to set an example and build a more compassionate world. We need to be vigilant against all discrimination. I am proud to say that Ontario is working on combatting racism through various policies and through the Anti- Racism Directorate (ARD)
lead by the Honourable Michael Coteau. We know that racialized people continue to face inequitable outcomes. On March 7, our government introduced ‘A Better Way Forward: Ontario’s 3-Year Anti-Racism Strategic Plan’ which targets systemic racism by building an anti-racism approach into the way government develops policies, makes decisions and measures success. The Ontario strategic plan aims to reduce disparities affecting Indigenous and racialized people in government policies, programs and services. We will also increase public awareness and understanding of systemic
racism. We will strengthen relationships with Indigenous and racialized communities through community collaboration and ensure long- term sustainability and accountability of the government’s anti-racism work. These activities provincially can complement what happens in our communities and neighbourhoods. It will take a collective effort to ensure that we continue to work toward making Kingston and the Islands and Ontario inclusive, and a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and encouraged to celebrate diversity. Only when racial equity is the
norm and all public and private organizations, all levels of government, institutions, faculty and student bodies, boards of directors, etc. have people of colour and other minorities employed, supported and promoted, then we will know we have arrived in each of our respective communities. We can and we will build that society that we want to live in. It will ’take a village’ so let’s get started and help each other get there.

my first year at Carleton and I actually decided to wait a couple years before applying, because I felt like I should be doing more before I applied,” he said. “When you think about comparing yourself to Terry Fox, and out of respect, I wanted to wait until I actually accomplished something that made an impact — and now, it is definitely a personal victory for me.” Established in 1982, the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award was created in dedication of honouring and advancing the humanitarian legacy of Terry Fox. The scholarship’s aim is to encourage young Canadians to seek the high ideals Terry Fox aspired to, through the pursuit of higher education. “The scholarship is more about becoming part of a community that values genuine volunteerism,” said Babcock. “People winning this award are not doing it for the
Kingstonian Brett Babcock has been through a lot of changes in the past five years. In 2012, he made headlines after a trampoline accident left him quadriplegic. The accident changed his life, and it also inspired him to become an advocate for people living with disabilities. “I think a lot of what I am doing, even though it is for other people, it really helps me accept my own identity or try to live with it better,” he said. “Being in school now, I have kind of realized that my life is no longer about overcoming my disability, but, rather, using my identity as a young man with a disability to influence change around me.” Babcock is currently in his third year at Carleton University in Ottawa studying psychology and disability studies. He recently took on the role of co-ordinator of Carleton’s Disability Awareness Centre and spends much of his time being an advocate for disabilities on campus — both physical and invisible. “Last year, I helped advocate for making Carleton’s gym more accessible for students who use wheelchairs,” he explained. “We raised enough money to buy four pieces of equipment that are wheelchair accessible, and now students who are paying fees to use these facilities actually can.” This year, Babcock is focusing on helping visually impaired students and making campus more accessible for them daily. “We are going to try and put up braille on all the signs in the school,” he said. “This is a totally new idea and came from a friend of mine who is blind, and she told me that it is difficult to get around when there is no signage for her.” Babcock also organizes interactive activities on campus like wheelchair basketball; resume and interview workshops; and a very successful workshop on disabilities, relationships and sex. He also works to help organize specific support groups like women’s only groups or cerebral palsy support groups.

Inspiring Kingstonian receives Terry Fox Humanitarian Award prestige; they are doing it because they are compassionate activists. It doesn’t matter to me that I am awarded for this and I haven’t really told many people about it for that reason.” The scholarship gives Babcock $28,000 to help him pay for his education, but he also sees it as something that will open doors for him and provide him with opportunities going forward. “Because I am so empowered by the disability community, it is nice to be in this group of award recipients now,” he said. “In Canada, we have had the Independent Living movement, the Rick Hanson foundation and things like that, and it is nice to be a part of things that are bigger than just the things I am doing in Ottawa.” Babcock has already been making connections with previous award winners and he hopes to continue pursuing disability justice through his schooling. “I’m not sure what the future holds for me at this point, but I know that it will be working in social work or psychology and continuing to pursue disability justice issues.

His job involved a lot of taking a cab, ordering an Uber or taking commuting to Toronto and back, and after their daughter went off to school, he and public transportation. Driverseat, a personal chauffeur, assisted Nelham began to re-evaluate their future; transport and designated driver service, will that is where Driverseat came in. “We thought about buying a business, but officially launch in Kingston on Sept. 1.

safely and in their own vehicle. Since 2012, Driverseat has launched 24 more franchise sites that service well over 200 communities. This latest venture will serve Kingston and Belleville. But, Driverseat isn’t just about chauffeuring impaired drivers. “There is just a myriad of things you can think of where people need transportation in their own vehicle, but can’t do it for a variety of reasons,” said Tremlett.
“It is not just a business; it is a genuinely helpful service for people when they need it. There just aren’t these kinds of options with other companies.”
In addition to designated driver services, Driverseat also offers services for assisted transport, airport transport and even just general car services; all can be done in the customer’s own vehicle. By offering to drive customers in their own vehicle, Driverseat hopes to make the service more personal and easier. In a scenario with an impaired person, it allows them to get home safely with their vehicle, but when providing airport chauffeur service, it also aims to take away some of the stress of travelling. “If someone wants to reduce the hassle of the travel — or if they want to leave things in their car, like winter coats, that they know they won’t need once in the airport — this service works for that,” said Nelham. “There is a real convenience factor and the franchisees who have done it before say they have many repeat customers. People really enjoy the service.”

'Pure science at its best': Hundreds fl ock to Confederation Park to view solar eclipse BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL
hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
Brothers Ewan and Leo Matheson may be young, but the solar eclipse of 2017 is something they are likely remember forever. “We wanted to see the eclipse, we wanted to see the moon covering the sun,” explains Ewan. So with the help of their mother, Beth, they made two pinhole cameras out of cereal boxes, paper and aluminum foil based off a video they found on the Internet. The three then joined hundreds of other Kingstonians at Confederation Park on the afternoon
of Monday, Aug. 21 for a special eclipse viewing event. While people in our part of the world didn’t get to see a total eclipse, the moon passed in front of the sun for approximately three hours during the afternoon, maxing out at 65 per cent totality at about 2:35 p.m. “I wanted them to have a memory of it,” says Beth. “We made [the cameras] this morning.” “We’re going to keep them too,” added Leo. “There’s a little moon in there,” Ewan remarked, demonstrating how the camera works. “I think it looks pretty cool.” Those who didn’t come equipped
with their own pinhole cameras or special eclipse viewing glasses could wait their turn to view the rare phenomenon through a half dozen or so telescopes, set up by astronomy enthusiasts throughout the park. One such enthusiast on location was Stephane Courteau, director of the Queen’s Observatory. “They’re incredibly moving, poetic, romantic,” Courteau said when asked what he thinks it is that makes folks so enthusiastic about eclipses. “I have a colleague in astronomy who proposed after an eclipse to his wife. I’ll never forget that.” Continued on page 13

Ema lee Fashions is still opened and celebrating their fourteenth year! We are not ready to retire yet and our business etiquette would be to politely announce it to our many loyal customers old and new Everyone knows that the store is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 in the hamlet of Downtown Balderson. What people don’t know is why Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical everyday boutique. What makes it different? It’s the people! Here are a few examples: Fourteen years ago when we first opened Mr. and Mrs. Steve Clyne came into the store. He brought his guitar, sat in the “husbands chair” and played and sang while his wife shopped. This still happens! Customers come in; looked puzzled and then I can hear them humming to the same tune that he is playing. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Clyne! The late Miner Bell told me stories about the dances that took place in our building and how the nickelodeon machine would play “Irene Goodnight” over and over again. Men come in with their wives and tell how they use to deliver to my store when it was George Myers General Store or worked here years ago making Cheese and collecting milk. Others come in and within five minutes of talking, there is some kind of connection with history of family members that used to live in this beautiful area.

A McDougal family use to own the store and their family members from Oshawa told the story about how scarlet fever hit. They had to close the store because people were afraid to go near them. A McLaren family member from Alberta brought in framed photos and newspaper articles about their Grandmother Lillian Cameron being the first telephone operator in Balderson.

parts of the United States, it is safe to look with the naked eye for the four minutes or so that the moon fully covers the sun. “When it reaches totality you can look at it because the sun is completely blocked, and all you can see is the corona of the sun. It’s so beautiful.” Luckily for Kingstonians, a total eclipse is in store for our area in the foreseeable future, Courteau said.
“The next one will be in seven years, right here. On April 8, 2024 it’s coming to Kingsotn and other locations in east North America. “Right now we’re seeing it at 65 per cent, which is beautiful but nothing like the real thing. Seeing a total solar eclipse is a lifechanging experience. You’ll have to do it before you die – in 2024, we have a date right here.”

Harrowsmith couple launch new driving service Continued from page 10
Clients are chauffeured by what Driverseat calls coachmen and women. They are hired on contract, mostly on a part-time basis. In Kingston, the hiring process is still underway. “This job is for people who are retired, or people who want to make extra money and they want to make a difference in the community,” said Nelham. While Driverseat services in Kingston are still in the starting out phase, they have already received a lot of feedback — and they even had their first major client last weekend. “We did a wedding last Saturday with 200 people, and the bride and groom contracted with us to provide services for their guests to ensure safe rides home,” said Nelham. “In this particular instance, we had two passenger vans
that were made available by the bride’s employer and then we also had one or two other teams available.” Tremlett hopes that they can cater to more events going forward. He would like to see corporations offering Driverseat’s services as an employee benefit at functions like golf tournaments or corporate parties. “We can set up company accounts for this and it can all be taken care of,” he said. “It is beneficial to the employees and the employer, and it just ensures everyone gets home safely.” There is also an app that will launch with Driverseat Kingston on Sept. 1. Tremlett says he’s looking forward to getting things going and getting out into the community more, too. “I have lived in this community, but not been a real part of it, and this is an opportunity to get more involved,” he said. “I am really looking
forward to it, and I think that as people find out about the services, they will respond well; they will see the need in the community.” For more information about Driverseat Kingston, visit http://driverseatinc.com/kingston, and look for them on Twitter and Facebook.

THE 2017–2019 RECYCLING CALENDAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE FRONTENAC NEWS, AUGUST 24TH
The Township is attempting a more environmentally sustainable approach, rather than direct mail, in distributing the next 2 year Recycling Calendar. The Frontenac News delivered the 2017-2019 Recycle Calendar, as an insert, in its August 24th edition which will include Storrington area residents. The Calendar is also available in a PDF format on our website to download to your desktop or print a copy for your fridge. Copies will be available at both Township offices. We hope that this environmentally friendly method of diversion encourages all residents to remain dedicated to their recycling efforts. It’s up to each one of us to make a difference.

NEWS AND PUBLIC NOTICES NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSING – PORTLAND DISTRICT
Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and transfer ownership of a Township-owned road allowance as follows: Location: Part of Lot 7, Concession V, District of Portland (Harrowsmith). Reason: The subject portion of road allowance runs east and west from Road 38 to Notre Dame Street in the Village of Harrowsmith. It is 91 metres long and only 4.6 metres wide and it is located along the north side of the subject land whose owner wishes to add it to his property. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on September 5, 2017 at 7:00 pm.For more information see our website or contact Lindsay Mills, Planner at Extension 2221.
NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSING – BEDFORD DISTRICT
Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and transfer ownership of a Township-owned road allowance as follows: Location: Part of Lot 18, between Concessions II and III, District of Bedford Reason: The subject portion of road allowance is in two separate parts that, together, constitute only 1,325 feet2. A very unusual property configuration was created in 1968 through a series of land transfers and a Township road allowance ran through the property. Part of the road allowance was closed and transferred by by-law in 1996 but the by-law did not close two small pieces that still protrude into the subject property. The new proposed road closure and transfer would rectify this. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on September 5, 2017 at 7:00 pm. For more information see our website or contact Lindsay Mills, Planner at Extension 2221.

The retaining wall at Douglas Fluhrer Park received a makeover this week thanks to 30 local artists and their unique perspectives. The second On the Wall festival — the first was in 2014 — took place at the park from Aug. 21 to Aug. 26, and invited artists from a variety of backgrounds and genres to create works of art on the cement panels. Some artists volunteered for the opportunity
INSTALLS DESIGN & INSTALLATION
while others were recruited, like Steven Manders. “I was asked to participate and I thought it was a good opportunity,” he said. “I have been doing a lot of research on the railways and rather extensive work on the K&P railway and this is a former railway yard so it fit really well.” Manders took on the task of painting a historical train pulling into Clarendon station and he hopes that the art will inspire people to learn more about the railways in Kingston.

“This is to show that the K&P railway really was old and most people think about K&P as being part of this park and not much beyond that,” he said. “Clarendon is the only other station on the K&P still standing on its original site and engine number three was the first one up the snow road and built here in Kingston in 1878. This is what I am trying to make people
aware of — the very early history through a painting.” Artist Aida Sulcs also chose to take on history in her painting on the wall and she chose to also take on the theme of celebrating Canada 150. “The images are taken from a Canadian native painter called Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun and he takes on totem carvings and he usually puts them into some kind of narrative that
takes on colonialism,” she said. “I decided to take some of those faces and put them into a lineup and I really like doing faces and I like figurative art.” Sulcs’s work is bright and vibrant and it also incorporates words from Nigerian author Ben Okri, who speaks to themes of oppressed people and colonization. “It is more of an awareness piece, but because this wall is an event for the celebration, it was a perfect time to bring these ideas forward,” she said. “If people stop and look at it that’s great, if they get it then that is a bonus.” Sulcs hopes that community members do understand her work and that they at least take
away the meaning behind it. “I hope people make extra effort to try and listen to the voices that have been silenced since the country was colonized and that is in Canada and universally too,” she said. She also hopes that people appreciate all the art that has transformed the wall of the park in the past week. “It has been so fun and people are stopping by and chatting and it is nice to see everyone’s interpretations and seeing colour in the park again,” she said. “I am happy to be in a place where there is freedom of expression to this extent.”

Driver assist features making positive difference in traffic safety on their roads. LDW is getting more popular on mid-priced as well as higher end vehicles, and uses a series of sensors to warn drivers if they are either unintentionally leaving a marked lane on their travels or encroaching on another vehicle located in their blind spot.

“Hi Brian, Thanks for all the good sound answers to your many questions. Now, I have one. Never owning a Kia vehicle before, I’m not sure of many of the different sounds and ways it works (mainly owned G.M. vehicles all my life). This is a 2014 Sorento 6cyl. When I push the start button, it starts automatically, but, then revs at between 1,800 and 2,000 rpm. Being inside our garage (where it is parked when at home) this is a very fast and scary thing that at lower winter temps might be harmful. This happens even if it was driven 30 minutes prior. I was concerned about this and when I took it to the nearest Kia dealership to have other work done on the vehicle, I asked the service manager about it. His answer was it is normal. I’m still not convinced the revs should be that high. Any informed information on this would be greatly appreciated. WP I did some research and review and a high idle isn't a complaint that has appeared related to this Kia. Every fuel injected engine has a higher than normal idle at start up, usually more prolonged when the engine and outside temps are cold. This is controlled by the engine's computer through an idle-air control valve on the throttle body. During cold starts, it's critical to make sure the engine's intake gets a good healthy gulp of air to avoid flooding the engine. Car-makers will set this idle speed and its duration for a number of reasons. For example, some automakers tend to use a high idle to ensure their automatic transmissions have full oil pressure before a customer places the shifter in
reverse or drive. This high idle time is also used to reduce the amount of time before an engine warms up and gets into full emission control mode. This reader’s report on the idle speed of their Kia seems correct and normal and it should lower its engine speed within a few dozen seconds of start up. When the vehicle is in an enclosed space with poor acoustics (such as a garage), it can seem loud. If it's an attached garage, the vehicle should always immediately be moved outdoors after start-up to let it warm up (or cool down with the AC) as needed in the driveway. This removes the noise issue and will ensure there's no chance of toxic tailpipe emissions getting into the house. Time is quickly running out to get your fill of antique, collector, and hot-rod vehicles. On Sunday, Sept. 3 the North Augusta Labour Day Weekend Car Show happens in North Augusta from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. And on the same day, Auto Expo 2017 comes to Hawkesbury (same times). On Labour Day (Monday, Sept. 4) the Docksyde Final Cruise & Show lands at the Morrisburg Waterfront from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn’s Richmond Motor Classic rolls onto the Richmond Plaza in Richmond.

Bike sharing pilot program continues to see success in Kingston
BY MARGARET KNOTT
At the invitation of the Ministry of Transportation, and Morrison Hershfield Ltd., Wolfe islanders attended a third, and final round, of Public Information Centres (PICs) on Wolfe Island, and in Kingston. They were held to provide the public and stakeholders an opportunity to review, and discuss, the evaluation and selection of the preferred docking alternative for each
ferry terminal, Marysville, Dawson Point, and Kingston, with members of the MTO and the Morrison Hershfield Ltd. Project Team. Morrison Hershfield Ltd. has been conducting the $1.8 million environmental assessment of the potential for adding a 75-vehicle ferry to the route and rebuilding the three ferry terminals, both on and off shore, including changes to the marshaling areas, larger dock and mooring facilities, improved pedestrian and cycling facilities, terminal facilities etc. The Aug. 23 and 24 meetings followed a “dropin” format. This is also the first time the MTO has conducted an EA for the addition of a second ferry to an existing route. A steady flow of Islanders dutifully lined up to read the content and view the pic-

tures on the boards set up around the Sacred Heart School gymnasium outlining and updating the study material. It included content from the first and second PIC meetings and the accepted plan for the three docks, along with the usual graphics and artists renditions. At the first and second PICs many were unable to visualize all vehicular traffic accommodated on the ferry dock itself, with no traffic lined up on the Main Street of Marysville. There were requests for improvements to the road to the Dawson Point dock, which some see as dangerous and too narrow. This time round, an impressive computer-generated video, with animation, of the proposed three new docks in Marysville, at Dawson Point and in Kingston was available for continuous viewing. It contained some text but no audio and the visuals were spectacular. And watch it they did, more than once. As Case DeRuiter put it, “the video sure helps get all this in perspective.” For those not able to attend check the website www.wolfeislandferryea.ca Some people were anxious.

process. “It all seems too much,” some said. “all we need is a second boat,” said others, and of course comments about a bridge came up as well. “Wouldn’t that be cheaper….?” Others are excited about the future and what it could mean for tourism, the business community, economic development and possible growth. “It’s progress, not ours to reject,” was the sentiment from some older members of the community who have always just wanted MTO to recognize that time was as important as capacity and two boats operating on the halfhour was what they see as the best solution, now and into the future ... as it was way back when. Members of the community are divided on the use of Dawson Point, maintaining that both ferries must come into Marysville year round. Others suggest Dawson Point for trucks, agricultural and service vehicles, primarily going east or west and avoiding the village if that is not their destination. Others concur with use of both. The study indicated that at the Marysville dock all parking and marshalling to be built for the new 75 ve-

hicle ferry would extend into the water. The Dawson Point terminal requires some land purchase for parking and an extended pier out into the water to give some protection against wind and current fluctuations. The Kingston dock shows vehicles loading at the east end of the dock with wider passenger waiting areas on the dock. A land purchase may be required. No parking remaining is shown at the city dock. With regard to funding, it was confirmed that the costs have been profiled (written in) to the long range plan for spending in the province. Which means all this could really happen. Not guaranteed, but really could happen. MTO is looking for feedback on the new docking proposals, see the above website, and encouraged everyone to submit their comments, and to complete a short survey at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/PR6TZ3P. Letting of the contracts for the two ferries, one for Amherst Island, the other for Wolfe is expected this fall, as told to Mayor Doyle at the AMO conference. It was a good gathering. While concerns remain, there was a sense of optimism and excitement in the air and a continued willingness, in fact an eagerness, to continue participating in the process and to cheer on the Project Team as they move into the next phase. Upon completion of the Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) 30-day public review period, the formal Environmental Assessment process will be completed allowing the Project Team to proceed to Detail Design and ultimately to construction.

The days of free all-day parking on side streets within the Inner Harbour neighbourhoods are over. Starting Sept. 1, several streets just north of the downtown will be regulated with new time of-day restrictions that prohibit parking from 10 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 3 p.m. on weekdays. This will allow short-term parking but discourage daylong parking. “This is a high-demand area for parking and this change is about managing that demand in a way that balances the needs of area residents, visitors to Rideaucrest Home, Providence Manor and commuters,” said Kim Leonard, manager of parking operations. The Inner Harbour neighbourhood is roughly bounded by Queen Street to the south, Rideau Street to the east, Stephen Street to the north and Division Street to the west. This includes many inner city streets around McBurney Park, Artillery Park, Rideaucrest Home and Providence Manor, which have been largely unregulated until now. The city will, however, allow residential parkers and daily commuters to buy a limited number of permits to park on the streets without having to move for the time-of-day restrictions. The cost for on-street permits will range from $25 a month for residents who already live in the area (or $12 a month for homeowners who do not have driveways) to $83.25 for daily commuters, which is roughly the same as a municipal parking lot permit. The permits will exempt motorists from the time-of-day parking restrictions so they won’t get a ticket. With council’s backing, city officials have already taken a similar approach to other high-demand residential areas in Kingston, including Sydenham district and neighbourhoods around Queen’s University.
Back to School Clothing, Backpacks & Lunch Gear
“This is a high-demand area for parking and this change is about managing that demand in a way that balances the needs of area residents, visitors to Rideaucrest Home, Providence Manor and commuters,” KIM LEONARD
The city intends to allocate 40 per cent of the neighbourhood street space for residential permit holders (about 450 spaces), another 40 per cent for daily commuter parking permits and leave the remaining 20 per cent open for short-term parkers. Coun. Rob Hutchison, whose district includes the Inner Harbour, supports the regulations to bring some balance to often congested
neighbourhoods. “At a certain point the residents can’t park on their own street as well. That’s particularly bad for people who don’t have driveways.” The introduction of paid permits and standardized signage in the Inner Harbour follows a program that was first launched a few years ago to regulate parking on the side streets around Hotel Dieu Hospital/Sydenham district and around Queen’s University/Kingston General Hospital. On-street parking regulations will also be implemented in Williamsville, around the Memorial Centre, in the future. City officials say there will be a number of exemptions to reflect the complexity and established practices of the Inner Harbour neighbourhoods. They say it will ensure adequate short-term parking spaces around Providence Manor and Artillery Park, plus exceptions for home care, home contractors and
regular programs in schools and churches. Staff say they will continue to monitor unregulated streets on the fringes of the Inner Harbour zone that could be impacted if daily commuters decide to park further away from their workplaces to avoid paying. The northerly areas won’t get
the same regulations right away, but that could change if those streets become clogged with parkers all day. Officials have insisted the introduction of parking fees are not a money-grab, but meant to reflect the cost of enforcing the new onstreet rules.

I love summer popcorn flicks. The kind of movie that requires minimum brain power and offers maximum enjoyment. When it's done well, with the right mix of action and comedy, you end up with a film that's fun to watch. When it's The Hitman's Bodyguard, you end up with a film you want to watch again and again. The vicious dictator Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman) has been brought to face justice at The Hague. However, the prosecution is struggling to bring forth witnesses or any substantial evidence. The last card they have to play is Darius Kinkaid (Samuel L. Jackson). Kinkaid is arguably the world's most dangerous assassin. He's currently locked up in an Interpol prison, but he has the dirt on Dukhovich. Kinkaid agrees to testify, but only if his wife Sonia (Salma Hayek) is freed. Kinkaid is loaded in a secret transport filled with Interpol's best, and led by Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung). Unfortunately Interpol's best are no match for Dukhovich's goons. Kinkaid and Amelia are the only ones to survive the ambush. Knowing Interpol must be compromised, Amelia decides to contact the one person who can get Kinkaid to The Hague. She calls Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds). Michael is the best bodyguard in the business but has fallen on hard times since a Japanese arms dealer was killed on his watch. He has history with both Roussel and Kinkaid. He hates both of them, but with a chance to redeem his reputation he
takes the job. The rest is gunfights, explosions, chases scenes, and more quotable one-liners than any movie has a right to have. I'll admit these kinds of action-comedy flicks follow a formula. Audience members walk in with certain expectations. It has to be action packed. It has to make you laugh. The heroes have to go at each other physically and verbally, but come together in the end to defeat the bad guy. The Hitman's Bodyguard hits all the highlights. The action is intense and in fact has a chase scene involving a speedboat, multiple cars and a motorcycle that's one of the best this year. This movie has the formula down cold, but what sets it apart and makes it worth seeing are the two co-stars. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson are stunning. In fact, the whole cast is good. Oldman is a great villain, Yung has some really good scenes and Hayek is outstanding, but Reynolds and Jackson are working on a whole other level. Together they weave a magic of quick witted one-liners and profanity that is dizzying to follow. They never let up and never miss a beat. Watching these two play off each other is like watching two virtuosos play dueling fiddles. It is a gift. Even good popcorn flicks aren't always worth seeing in the theatre. They're fun movies, but rarely anything special. Reynolds and Jackson make The Hitman's Bodyguard special. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
