South Frontenac decides against appealing County OP after Ministry’s letter By Craig Bakay
News — South Frontenac Township decided against appealing the Frontenac County Official Plan (OP) following receipt of a letter from Damien Schaefer, planner for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “The Township is satisfied with the clarity provided by the Ministry with regards to ‘infilling and minor rounding out’ of hamlet development and has chosen not to appeal,” said CAO/ Clerk Wayne Orr at Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The County OP had been given final approval by the Ministry and after a mandatory appeal period (which ended Feb. 1), was set to become law, but at the Jan. 26 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council was still Central Frontenac Clerk Cathy MacMunn and executive assistant Donna Longmire show off Frontenac Heritage Festival mugs. concerned with some of the wording that pertained to de-

velopment on private service in development areas (hamlets). Council approved going through the appeal process. Essentially, 14 f) of the County OP states in part that private service development may only be permitted for “infilling and minor rounding out of existing development.” In all of Frontenac County, all settlement areas rely on private service (ie, water and sewer) with only the hamlet of Sydenham having municipal water (but no sewer). But, on Jan. 27, South Frontenac Planner Lindsay Mills contacted the Ministry office in Kingston asking for clarification and received the following response (letter) from Schaefer: “The terms ‘infilling and minor rounding out’ are not defined and allow flexibility for implementation based on local circumstances.

News — South Frontenac Council decided that one Council representative on the Cataraqui Trail Management Board was plenty, despite being allowed four in total. Prior to the regular Council meeting last week in Sydenham, South Frontenac’s representatives on the board were Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland, Coun. John McDougall and Robert Charest. But McDougall had another suggestion. “I sit on this committee and it’s a very large committee,” said McDougall. “I feel we have more than enough representation and my recommendation is for one councilor and whatever volunteers want to sit.” “Are you suggesting Coun. Sutherland be removed from the committee?” asked Coun. Alan Revill. “Nooo,” replied McDougall. “He plays a vital role. “I’m suggesting my name be removed off the committee.” “It’s the kind of committee that doesn’t make a lot of decisions but it
is a working committee and a place for someone who is interested in the trail to have a say,” Sutherland said. “Yes, our volunteers use the trail almost every day and they know exactly what work needs to be done. Coun. Pat Barr wondered if dropping one council member would lessen South Frontenac’s influence but was assured that the Township historically hasn’t used all of its seats on the board, regardless of what other municipalities might do. South Frontenac is the only municipality allowed four representatives on the Cat Trail board. Rideau Lakes Township has three members, Stone Mills Township has two and the Town of Smiths Falls has one. Several user groups also are allowed a member on the board. The Lennox & Addington Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club, the Rideau Ridge Riders Snowmobile Club and the Athens Snowmobile Club each have one member, appointed by the club in question. Also, there is one representative from the Trans Canada Trail and one member from the Cataraqui Re-

THE WINTER WINDS AND RECYCLING With the strong winds accompanying the snow this winter, please give a bit more thought to how you put out your recycling. Take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. Loose newspapers will end up kilometers away and empty or light plastics tend to fly out into the ditches and treelines. Not overfilling your box and crushing your bottles will make them more compact and less likely to take flight. As well, the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers flat in a grocery bag then into your box; it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep the environment and our workers in mind when recycling.

“In order to protect public health and the environment, proponents of development need to demonstrate that there will be no negative impacts associated with the provision of individual on-site services before the development can proceed. The appropriate environmental studies that may need to be completed to demonstrate ‘no negative impacts’ include, but are not limited to hydrogeological assessments and water quality impact assessments, in accordance with provincial standards.”
Coun. Mark Schjerning wondered if this wording could have an affect on developments already under consideration such as the proposed subdivision in Hartington. Orr said that he didn’t feel it would be an issue as developments under consideration before the advent of the County OP would still be governed by the rules in place at the time they were applied for. “Infill is not in the Provincial Policy Statement,” Orr said. However, Orr did say he would speak to the planner and make sure the Committee of Adjustment receives “written clarification of what the rules are.” With the approval of the Frontenac County OP coming into effect Feb. 2, the County now becomes the final approval authority on development in the County, rather than such documents having to be approved by MMAH, as had been the case.

Larcon severance agreement reached, subject to limited industrial uses By Craig Bakay
News — South Frontenac Council approved an agreement and issued instructions for its solicitor to settle an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) appeal based on the terms of the settlement at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The appeal in question was for the Larcon Farms property on Wilton Road near Harrowsmith. The property owner had applied to sever the subject lands in order to create a 1-hectare parcel to be added to adjacent lands. The municipality imposed a condition that the severed lands would be re-zoned urban industrial to be consistent with the parcel to which the severed parcel was being added and refused an application for re-zoning which led to the OMB appeal. Under the agreement, however, the lands will now be re-zoned Special Urban Industrial from Urban Residential First-Density with restrictions on use. Under the agreement, permitted uses now are: • A manufacturing or processing use, provided that any such use be limited to a Class 1 Industrial Facility which means a place of business for small scale, self-contained plant or building which produces/stores a product which is contained in a package and does not produce offensive fugitive emissions; operations are restricted to daytime operations only with infrequent movement of products and/or heavy trucks and no outside storage of products produced at the facility. • any warehousing including storage warehousing
• any workshop for the repair, processing or treatment of small goods and wares, and any other service industries • a motor vehicle repair garage, provided that such use shall not include auto body repair • a research facility • a merchandising service shop • any business or professional offices accessory to a permitted industrial use • an accessory dwelling unit for a caretaker or security guard • accessory buildings or used to the above uses including a retail outlet for the purpose of selling goods manufactured, stored and/or assembled on the premises provided such outlet is part of the principal building and occupies not more than five per cent of the gross floor area of the principal building Also, the maximum building height shall be 11 metres (36.1 feet) and the uses shall be subject to a site plan agreement registered on the title of the property, specifying all the requirements for mitigative buffers and planting strips in addition to citing all buildings and septic systems, entrance design, parking, access and fire routes, grading and storm water management. Coun. Alan Revill was concerned that the matter would now have to come back to the Committee of Adjustment to re-do the severance and asked if there would be any ramifications to passing the agreement that night. “We talked to the solicitor and he said there was no reason not to consider this tonight,” said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. “It’s not really a severance per se.”

The Foundation is racing to save lives because every seven minutes heart disease and stroke takes the life of a Canadian and devastates another family. With the help of donors in our community, together we can end this race and successfully cross the finish line. Every donation makes a difference, every dollar counts. “Volunteers truly are the lifeblood of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Every step they take brings a survivor closer to home,” says Dr. Roberta Bondar, Canada’s first woman astronaut. Dr. Bondar is also a neurologist and renowned photographer, and this year she joins the Foundation as the Honorary Chair of Heart Month, lending her time and support to the Foundation’s volunteer and fundraising programs. “Canvassers will not only be helping raise funds, but will also provide critical information about heart disease and stroke,” added Dr. Bondar. “This February we’re focusing on helping Canadians recognize the signs of stroke so they can help if they witness someone having a stroke. We’re very grateful for the support we had from Ontarians last year and hope you will support us again.”
The Heart Month canvassing campaign is one of the Foundation’s most significant fundraising programs of the year. For more information visit www.heartandstroke.ca/help or call 613-384-2871 6 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, February 11, 2016

Frontenac Community Arena hopes to be next Hockeyville winner By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Sports – This year, the Frontenac Community Arena (FCA) is celebrating its 40th anniversary and they hope that isn’t the only thing they’ll be celebrating; the arena wants to become the next Kraft Hockeyville Arena winner, but in order to do that they need some help. “We really need the community’s
help, especially on social media,” explained Allan Pixley, who nominated the arena and is also president of the Frontenac Minor Hockey Association (FMHA). “We are being evaluated on our application, but also on how many tweets and retweets we get, so that is what we have been focusing on.” This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Kraft Hockeyville competition and although Pixley had heard
about it before, this is the first time he has nominated the arena. “The rink is in need of a lot of upgrades over the next few years and we know that will be expensive,” he said. “I’m hoping that we can win Hockeyville and really make this place more of a hub for the community with a finished room upstairs and maybe a fitness area.” The grand prize in the Hockeyville competition is $100,000 in arena upgrades and an opportunity to host an NHL PreSeason Game; second prize also receives $100,000 in rink upgrades and for
third place, eight entries will receive $25,000. The competition focuses on the idea that ‘hockey builds community and community builds hockey’ and over the past 10 years, Kraft Hockeyville has contributed over $2 million to 53 communities across Canada. Any community arena in the country is eligible to enter and FCA is already competing against more than 2500 other arenas. While the competition closed on Feb. 7, the top 10 will be chosen at the beginning of March and will be voted on March 13 and 14 and the winner will chosen on April 2 and Pixley is hoping for the best. “The response from the community was great as always and we hope
it was enough,” said Pixley. Even if FCA doesn’t qualify, Pixley hopes that this process makes the community more aware of the arena itself, its impact on the community and the need to help maintain it. “People just assume the arena will always be there, but in the last 40 years there hasn’t been many upgrades and a lot of stuff is on borrowed time now,” he said. “Now is the time we need to come together and support the arena. Even if we don’t win, at least the community will be more aware and may be more willing to lend their support going forward.” To support the FCA and view their nomination, visit www.khv2016.ca/ en/nominations/profile/frontenaccommunity-arena-3/

EDITORIAL
A cat is merely of a subset of a number of possible feline traits •
Column — The following is a list of traits exhibited by cats. Now, not all cats have all of these traits but if you are thinking of getting a cat, you should know that the cat you get may or may not exhibit all of these traits, but it will have some of them. It’s kind of like a menu at a Chinese restaurant and about as scientiďŹ c too. (Generally it’s based on being the proud human/sucker for seven cats in 60 years, as well as having two grandkitties.) • Sleeping on your lap — most, but deďŹ nitely not all, cats have this trait. It starts out as a good thing, especially when they’re kittens. But as they get older, they get heavier. Some cats, however may bite and scratch when placed on a human’s lap (or being prodded to leave). • Biting and scratching — all cats begin with fangs and claws. Some never bare them towards their human. Others . . . well, let’s just say
•
•
there are several human behaviors with the potential to induce biting and/or scratching — such as looking at them the wrong way. Weak stomachs — in particular, many purebred cats such as Siamese, tend to barf a lot. Others, such as one barn cat that’s currently asleep on my eece jacket, are feline garbage disposals with corresponding steel stomachs. Being very vocal — all cats meow. Some, such as the aforementioned Siamese, tend to have very powerful voices. Powerful is another way of saying ‘annoying as hell.’ Scratching furniture/wallpaper — this is different than scratching humans and a separate trait all in itself. Nobody really knows why cats scratch furniture when they have a perfectly good scratching post sitting in the middle of the oor. As to scratching wallpaper, they tend to scratch only as high as they can reach without expending too much effort. Laying in inappropriate places — they may, depending on the cat, enjoy lounging on freshly dried cloth-

ing piles, dirty clothing piles, guitar cases and/or computer keyboards. Crapping in your shoe — by no means do all cats do this but the odd one does it to remind you that the litter box is full. Presenting you with a dead mouse — there are those that claim this is actually an expression of affection. Some affections get dropped on your chest as you’re waking up. Cat toys all over the house — some cats don’t seem the slightest bit interested in cat toys. Those that are interested in cat toys, however, seem to like to leave them all over the house. Territorialism — all cats are territorial to a certain extent. Some, however, are just downright nasty about it. Indecisiveness about going outside — those cats that exhibit this trait tend to raise it to an art form — either that or they just seem to know how much it bugs you and they’re basically sadistic in nature. Selective deafness — sure, they can’t hear you telling them to get off your neatly folded pants, but start using a can opener and they can hear that from three blocks away.

In Our Opinion
Thank you for reading, dear readers Editorial – If you’re reading this then you’re most likely a believer in print newspapers. It’s an admirable trait in these web-focused and fragile economic times, when newspapers are grasping for a toehold to survive staggering losses in subscribers, readers and revenue. Journalists across the country watched as news broke on Twitter on Jan. 19 that 90 journalists at Sun papers in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, including 12 at the Ottawa Sun, had been axed from the Postmedia newspaper chain, the latest round of deep job cuts in an industry already reeling from recent eliminations at the CBC and CTV. And Friday, Jan. 29 was the ďŹ nal print edition of Metroland’s Guelph Mercury, a daily newspaper that dates back to 1867. Postmedia chief executive Paul Godfrey explained the downsizing in a staff memo: “As you know, we have announced a cost cutting program aimed at ďŹ nding at least $80 million in savings before the end of ďŹ scal 2017. “That signiďŹ cant of an initiative requires looking at everything in a new way and considering approaches we have never taken – truly nothing is off the table. We know that we can’t make meaningful headway against our challenges without great effort.â€? And, most obviously, not without extraordinary loss – people-wise. Important voices gone in a blink from the reporting landscape, taking their perspectives and encyclopaedic knowledge of their beats with them. No longer digging up the stories our dwindling numbers strive to tell on multiple platforms. Godfrey said in each of those markets, one editor will oversee two newspaper brands, that most newsroom resources will be shared and ... “Stories covered will be adapted by platform at a rewrite desk dedicated to ensuring that the right voice and content makes it to the right brand and platform.â€? The advent of rewrite desks and the silencing of 90 journalists is a tremendous blow, and not only to remaining journalists and sources. Ultimately, the readers lose out. So thank you, dear reader, for believing in newspapers, for not just skimming the headlines, and more importantly, for not skipping them altogether. Those of us still working our beats are glad you do.

South Frontenac adds its voice to call for basic income guarantee News — South Frontenac is joining the City of Kingston in calling for a basic income guarantee for Canadians, passing a motion to that effect at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The motion will be sent to various provincial and federal government agencies. At the Jan. 26 committee of the whole meeting, Deb McAuslan made a presentation speaking for the endorsement. In 2011, the National Household Survey suggested that 14.9 per cent of the population live in low income circumstances and South Frontenac Community Services has reported a steady rise in South Frontenac residents requiring assistance to meet basic needs of housing and food. “There are many reasons I sup-
port this,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland, who sponsored the motion. “But there are many people in rural communities who are poor but still manage to own property. “I would hate to see the rural poor lose their homes.” ••• South Frontenac has appointed Jeremy Neven, the current Chief Building Official in both Central and North Frontenac, as interim Chief Building Official. CAO Wayne Orr suggested the move because he’d like to see the results of an administrative review that is currently underway before hiring a full-time CBO. “We’re not bad right now but we can’t let it go too long (not having a full-time CBO),” Orr said. “Things will change when the snow is gone and the weather warms up.” •••
During the discussion of getting a little hard-topping done, Mayor Ron Vandewal was a little surprised at the price. “At the end of the day, as long as it’s covered in our overall budget, I’m in favor,” Vandewal said. “But I was surprised with the price of oil going down, road cover is getting more expensive. “Isn’t oil a big ingredient in road coverings?” ••• A motion by Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland to express South Frontenac’s ‘concern’ over development of waterfront lots “in close proxim-
Sutherland’s original motion said “on” provincially significant wetlands but was changed to “in proximity to” at the urging of Coun. John McDougall. ••• Council approved the addition of vehicle location equipment (AVL) to the fire chief’s vehicle. As part of the approved 2016 budget, $100,000 was allocated to install AVL equipment on all public works and building department vehicles. Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth said that there were sufficient funds left to extend the program to the fire chief’s vehicle.

ity to provincially significant wetlands” met with mixed response but passed 7-2. Sutherland’s motion was essentially a rider to Frontenac County’s request for documentation that all studies pertaining to a proposed condominium development on Johnson Point had been released in open Council but at the urging of Coun. Alan Revill, it was severed into a separate motion. “I don’t like this (motion),” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “The number of meetings we’ve had and now another attempt to circumvent the process.”

News – As students get ready for March Break and the hiatus from school it provides, two local high school students are looking forward to the week off for a different reason. This March, La Salle Secondary School student Hilary Voith and Sydenham High School student Shelby Eves will be travelling to Guatemala to help those in need. Both girls are part of the Frontenac 4-H Association and members of the Community Involvement Interact Club within the associa-
tion. The club works closely with local Rotary Clubs to sponsor trips of this nature and both girls were excited when they heard about the opportunity. “Rotary in Cornwall asked us if we’d like to go on this peacekeeping trip for 10 days to help out the less fortunate there,” explained 16-year-old Eves. “I immediately wanted to go. I enjoy helping people out whenever I can and I am interested in seeing how other people live and making a difference.” On this trip, the teens will be travelling to Guatemala with Common Hope, a non-profit organiza-
tion that works with impoverished children and families. Common Hope works to improve the lives of these individuals through education, health care and housing. “We are going to be helping to build houses, helping kids in a school, teaching them English and about our culture and we could be going with social workers to visit families who are less fortunate,” said Eves. “I am a bit nervous about the language barrier, but I am excited to help out and hopefully make an impact.” While Eves is a bit nervous, Voith is excited to learn about another

culture; in May 2015, she took a similar trip to Nicaragua with students from her school and she has wanted to go back ever since. “The trip was so great and I really enjoyed helping and seeing the difference little things can make,” said the 17-year-old. “When I was there I gave a child a pencil to use for the day and he was so happy. It was really heartwarming and it really shows what we take for granted every day.” The girls will be travelling with nine other students and three adults; to help cover the costs of the trip, both Eves and Voith have been
fundraising. The entire group hopes to raise $4,000 before leaving on March 12. “We have been selling Rotary calendars. We have also been selling Wilton Cheese baskets and we’ve been asking friends and family for donations,” said Voith. They have also organized a euchre night at the Storrington Lions Club on Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. in the hopes of getting more community support and donations. Both girls are looking forward to the trip and the experiences they will bring back with them. They also hope the trip will inspire their peers. “I honestly think more people should do this because it is a great opportunity. It’s great to help others and make a difference in their lives when you can,” said Eves. “My friends think it is great and I hope they do something similar in the future too.” To learn more about Common Hope visit www. commonhope.org and to contribute to this trip to Guatemala visit www.gofundme.

Sydenham HS grad receives top amateur athlete award By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Sports – Some of Kingston’s finest athletes gathered at the Ambassador on Feb. 4 for the Kingston Kiwanis 36th Annual Amateur Sports Awards. This year’s ceremony recognized 14 athletes for their accomplishments over the past year in sports and while they were all happy to receive recognition, they eagerly awaited the final award of the evening – the Gus Marker Amateur Athlete Award. This year’s recipient was Rob Asselstine, 23, a St. Lawrence College student and Sydenham High School graduate who was recognized for his achievement in cross country. Asselstine was also named male athlete of the year at St. Lawrence College last March and this past fall he won the St. Lawrence Invitational meet in September, followed by the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association championship; then
in November he won the Canadian College championship to end an undefeated college season. Asselstine was a bit surprised to receive the award and almost missed his name being called when he took a trip to the bathroom during the ceremony, but he was grateful for the recognition. “It is great to be recognized for what you have achieved and I am grateful to the Kiwanis Association and everyone here,” he said following the ceremony. “It means a lot.” Asselstine started running when he was in Grade 9 at SHS and initially did it because he was good at it and it got him out of class for a meet. But he quickly developed a love for the sport. “I really enjoy the process and getting out every day for a run seeing the progress,” he said. “I also enjoy racing and competing.” He admits that there are days when training is really hard, especially in the
FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS
EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO EXCELLENCE
winter, but he keeps at it. “Getting out there every day is difficult and when it is cold and dark and you are going alone, it is hard,” he said. “But the accomplishments make it worthwhile and I love the sport.” Asseltine’s coach, Steve Boyd, was also recognized at the ceremony as a Sports Builder in the community. Boyd was happy to receive the recognition, but pointed out that he contributes very little to what these athletes achieve.

they can be and I am very proud of all of them.” The awards ceremony also honoured Brittany Benn for rugby; Matt Brash for baseball; Will Crothers for rowing; Cole Horsman for track; Lacey Knox for basketball; Amanda Leveille for hockey; Ron Leyenhorst for mountain biking; Cameron

Previously-loved jewellery sale benefits animals in need Continued from page 18
As well as quality jewelry, they also have hundreds of pieces of costume jewelry, which will be up for grabs from 50 cents to $5. Prior to the sale, each piece of jewelry is cleaned and repairs are made to put them back into their original “like new” condition. “Our quality estate pieces are appraised by Terry at Cobico Jewellers, and these pieces are often sold for below half of their appraised value,” says Wan. A highlight of this year’s sale is a diamond necklace with an appraised value of over $5,800, which can be purchased for $2,000. Fundraising has always been vi-
tal to keep the doors open at Sandy Pines, a wildlife rehabilitation centre located in Napanee; each year it takes in over 2,300 wildlife rescues. The centre serves a wide area in eastern Ontario, receiving no government funding. It depends solely on donations and fundraisers to maintain operations. Helping animals is nothing new for Wan. “As a child our house was always full of rejected pets that other people would dump at our house, and my mother always took them all in, much to the dismay of my father.” Switching her focus to fundraising for animal charities was the next logical step for this dedicated volunteer,
who gets much enjoyment fundraising for animals and animal care. “There is so much cruelty in the world towards animals that we need so many animal charities and organizations to care for these often neglected, tortured and injured animals,” explains Wan. “Fundraising is my way of helping these organizations continue to help animals, both domestic and wild. Without fundraisers, many of these small rescue shelters would be forced to close their doors.” “When I started to volunteer at the centre about five years ago, my first job was to paint and renovate the clinic interior,” she continues. “I spent two weeks on a daily basis at the centre with a rehabilitated porcupine who
refused to go back to the wild climbing up my leg. I was so impressed with what I saw and the fact that every single dollar that came in was spent totally on the care of the animals, I decided to do more.” Wan says that at Sandy Pines, everyone has the same purpose: rescue, rehabilitate and release…and shovel a lot of poop in the process. There is no stopping this 76-yearold fundraising champion. “I hope to keep fundraising as long as I can, I tire a lot quicker and the brain doesn’t compute as quickly as when I was younger, but I think my love of animals is what drives me to continue with fundraising. Even though I keep saying that soon I may have to give
it all up. Hopefully that won’t be any time in the near future.” Wan says the need for a place such as Sandy Pines is due in large part to the loss of natural habitat through urban sprawl. “This is why we need a place like SPWC. We have to take some responsibility for what we have done to our wildlife and our environment.” Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre has been in operation since 1994, nursing thousands of injured and orphaned mammals, birds, and some reptiles and amphibians, back to health with the hopes of releasing them back into the wild.

Chief Charbonneau pleased with province’s new PTSD strategy for first responders, but wants to see more
By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – At the age of 19, Paul Charbonneau, now Chief of Fronte-
nac Paramedic Services, encountered his first traumatic injury as a first responder when a young student fell off a roof at the University of Toronto. He had been on the job for just two weeks
2016
and wasn’t prepared for the incident. “I don’t think I ever thought I would see something like that,” he recalls. “I remember saying to my partner afterwards that it was pretty bad
and he basically told me to ‘suck it up’. I just accepted that and continued on, but I still remember it.” These incidents are common for first responders and evidence shows

that police officers, firefighters and paramedics are at least twice as likely as the general population to suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because of this. Luckily, the ‘suck it up’ mentality is virtually non-existent when it comes to these situations now and on Feb. 1, the Ontario government announced new PTSD prevention strategies to help first responders even more. The four-part strategy, announced by Minister of Labour Kevin Flynn, focuses on prevention and reducing stigma through radio and digital campaigns; providing grants for research that supports the prevention of PTSD; hosting an annual leadership summit to highlight best practices and offering an online tool kit for resources on PTSD. “These are all good things and this is a very good step, but I am still looking for more from this government,” said Charbonneau. “We have to remember that PTSD is at one end of the spectrum and that is where we don’t want people to get to. At the other end of the spectrum we need to be doing prevention, education, support and research.” Charbonneau pointed out that police officers receive, as part of their training, the Road to Mental Readiness Program (R2MR) and while fire services and paramedics have been looking at similar programs for a number of years, nothing concrete has been put in place. “They are costly and they have to be adopted across the whole province,” he explained. “I applaud the minister’s announcements, but I am cautiously optimistic for what comes next.” On a local level, Charbonnneau has been working with Frontenac County to develop local strategies to fight PTSD, including establishing a paramedic advocacy team and a peer support team. “I am very proud of our council, they took this on last year and set aside $20,000 over the budget we already have to do something about mental wellness,” said Charbonneau. “That support continues this year and that allows us to host programs on various topics and really help educate our young paramedics and new staff members.” These are just the first steps Charbonneau hopes to take and he is hoping that with this new governmental strategy, program development will progress even further. “At the end of the day we need the money and this is not going to be cheap,” he said. “But, if we are going to invest to make sure someone doesn’t get a back injury then we better be able to invest that same level of commitment to prevent the illness of PTSD.”
Veteran Kingston actress in ‘heaven’ as local story premiers on local stage Events - Carolyn Hetherington has been a professional actress since she was 16 years old, after she was able to secure a place in theatre school in London by lying about her age. She moved to Kingston in 1957, where she raised her family and made a name for herself in Canadian theatre. Most of the time, opportunities have come about in larger cities, or even down the road at the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque, but occasionally she’ll land a professional gig right here at home. Such is the case with the latest Theatre Kingston production, Hothouse, in which Hetherington plays the role of a 106-year-old named Phyllis. “I was thrilled, and it’s an opportunity to work at home,” Hetherington says of landing the role. “Normally I’m in Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, so this is truly a privilege on so many levels.” And it just so happens that Hothouse is about as “Kingston” a story as you can get, too. In an effort to tell more local stories on local stages, Theatre Kingston commissioned playwright Judith Thompson to adapt Merilyn Simonds’ novel The Convict Lover into a play. The original book was inspired by a cache of historical letters and memorabilia Simonds found in her Portsmouth Village home that told of a young girl named Phyllis’ epistolary romance, of sorts, with an inmate in Kingston Penitentiary. Hetherington says that she first read the book shortly after it was published in 1997. “I enjoyed it very much and it’s fascinating because of it being a Kingston story. Never did I imagine at that time that it would be turned into a play and that I would be involved in it.” The play also features a young Phyllis character (played by Kaleigh Gorka) and Hetherington explains that the role is quite challenging and complex. “At the age of 15 she glimpses this convict and they start a relationship with letters – there are 187 letters notes, really, written by him and she has answered.” None of the letters written by Phyllis are still around because the convict had to destroy them immediately since such correspondence was against prison rules. Still, the story is told from her point of view. “She believes, truly believes, that he will come and get her when he’s released and they will be married and so on…she believes for 19 years that he will come. This is what keeps her alive, almost.” Hothouse also features songs and two musicians, Sean Meldrum and Jesse MacMillan, who play guitar and flute throughout the performance. The music was written specifically for the play by composer Tom Bellman. “I’m the one person in the cast who’s not musical,” Hetherington laughs. “I love music but I don’t sing. I’m surrounded by these gorgeous voices and beautiful, beautiful music.”
Still, she describes Hothouse more as a ‘play with music’ than a musical. “It doesn’t have a great big orchestra [just the two musicians]. So much of the play is part music in itself, the way it is
written, the way the words roll out. It’s all new to me being involved in something that has music and it’s wonderful.” Hetherington says that this opportunity, which is allowing her to work with many talented local people like playwright Judith Thompson and director Kathryn
MacKay, has been “just heaven”. “I’m now in my 80s, and I’m so fortunate at this age that there are still roles for the older woman,” she notes, adding that it will also be exciting for local audiences to take in the show. “There are many, many wonderful plays that have been produced here, but this is absolutely unique with all the connections to Kingston and the his-
tory. A lot of people read [The Convict Lover] and there’s a large interest in it and what happened.” Hothouse runs Feb. 19 – March 6 at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. Tickets may be purchased online through the Isabel’s website at http://www.theisabel.ca/content/hothouse. You can also purchase tickets by phone 613.533.2424 or 1.855.533.2424.

Queen’s music prof receives Juno nomination By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – When John Burge received the news on Feb. 2 that he was nominated for a Juno award for the second time in his career, he was a bit surprised, but also very excited for both himself and everyone involved. “I wouldn’t say it was unexpected, but it is always a pleasant surprise,” said the Queen’s University music professor. “I am happy about the nomination because the performers are so good. The recording engineer captured a really good sound and intimacy and I love the recording.” Burge received the Classical Composition of the Year nomination for his piece entitled ‘Piano Quartet’. The piece was commissioned and recorded by a group called Ensemble Made In Canada and was
originally written in 2011. “The group is a wonderful collection of Canada’s best performers who love chamber music and this was the first piece they commissioned,” explained Burge. “They have performed this piece a number of times now and it was actually performed here in Kingston last fall.” This is the second Juno nomination for Burge and in 2009 he won for a composition entitled ‘Flanders Fields Reflections’. He hopes to win again, but at this point he is just happy to be nominated. “Simply getting nominated is great,” he said. “There are so many pieces that can be nominated and even though Canada is a relatively small country culturally, there are still lots of recordings produced in every category so actually getting nominated is no easy task.” So what goes into creating a Juno
nominated composition? For Burge it is all about the inspiration. “Quite often I am driven by the performers I am writing for and that was the case for this piece,” he said. “They play Beethoven and Brahms and the statement pieces really well and I wanted to write a piece that wasn’t short and descriptive for them.” ‘Piano Quartet’ is 35 minutes long with three movements in the composition. It is challenging for performers and that is what Burge wanted. “It is a big statement and the parts are hard. It really requires a lot of the performers’ technical abilities and musicianship to make the piece come alive and they can do that.” The Juno Awards will be handed out on April 2 and 3 in Calgary and while Burge was unable to attend the last time he was
nominated (and won), he already has his plane ticket booked for this time. “I have the weekend free and I have lots of family in Calgary so it is kind of like go-
ing home,” he said. “I’ve heard form other colleagues that it is a good party and I’m sure it will be a great time. I am looking forward to it.”

Gaels win Carr-Harris Challenge Cup The Queen’s University Gaels defeated the Royal Military College Paladins 6-2 at the Rogers K-Rock Centre on Feb 4 to capture the 30th annual Carr-Harris Challenge Cup. The challenge was initiated in 1986 by the International Hockey Hall of fame to celebrate hockey’s longest rivalry and the cup was presented by the Carr-Harris family to commemorate the event.

it very clear that we were not,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. The mayor answered questions from reporters after Belleville recently signed a partnership with private casino company, Great Canadian Gaming, and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), to build a $41 million dollar casino in the city, just a 45 minute drive west of Kingston. The casino floor is expected to have about 400 slot machines and 22 card tables, plus amenities such as a lounge, restaurant and room for live entertainment. Paterson says gambling wasn’t in

the cards for Kingston as it pursues other economic and tourism opportunities. “For Belleville it might be a casino. For Kingston I see a tremendous tourist attraction coming to Kingston Penitentiary in the future.” The city and federal governments are expected to launch a public visioning exercise this spring to explore new uses for the mothballed prison, which remains federally owned. Coun. Rob Hutchison believes Kingston is not losing out after its decision to reject hosting a casino for the second time in 20 years. “I still think we did the right thing by not having a casino here.” He says neighbouring Belleville is in a different economic position, which may have prompted its interest in gambling revenues. “I can understand why they’re approaching it that way. He added: “Their economy is not nearly as strong as ours, or as big. And their population growth projections are much lower.” Kingston’s casino question was the focus of a referendum in the 2014 municipal election and voters rejected the idea by a two-to-one margin – a decision later confirmed by the current council. Unlike Kingston, Belleville’s drive for a casino attracted very little opposition. Great Canadian Gaming paid the OLG $50.4 million for the ownership rights and assets in the so-called East Gaming Bundle in Kingston/Gananoque, Quinte and Peterborough. Company officials have also indicated they plan to make renovations to their other Shorelines brand, formerly called Thousand Islands Casino, straddling Gananoque and Leeds & Thousand Islands Township. The host communities each receive about $1.6 million a year through a portion of the slot machine and gaming table profits. Belleville is expected to rake in similar profits. It has signed a deal to receive 5.25 percent of slot machine revenues up to $65 million, and three percent of revenues between $65 million and $200 million. With two casinos just a short drive from Kingston, Coun. Hutchison says the city will continue to see economic spinoffs. “A lot of Kingstonians are employed in Gananoque, and Belleville is only an hour away. If there are good things to be had from a casino we’re probably getting them already - jobs and tourism.” Mayor Paterson says watching gambling dollars and jobs go down the highway is not a concern for him, and he’s not going to second-guess the decision made by voters and council. “Every city has got to do what they think is best for them, but I’m very confident that here in the city we’re doing what’s best for Kingston.”

Amherst Island resident honoured with Heritage Trust Award for work on Dry Stone Festival By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Last September, a local festival worked to put Amherst Island on the map culturally and now its organizer is being recognized for her hard work. On Feb. 26, island resident and member of Dry Stone Canada, Andrea Cross, will receive the Lieutenant Governor’s Ontario Heritage Award for Excellence in Conservation. The award is administered by the Ontario Heritage Trust and Cross is receiving it for her work on the Amherst Island Dry Stone Festival that was held last September. “I didn’t even know I was being nominated, so it was a big surprise,� said Cross, who was nominated by Loyalist Township Deputy Mayor Ric Bresee. “I’m
happy he didn’t tell me because I would have been so nervous.â€? The award works to recognize a speciďŹ c conservation activity or a project that is a contribution to natural or cultural heritage conservation. The project must be located in and beneďŹ t Ontario, and demonstrate leadership, commitment, creativity and a positive impact on the community. “The event really worked to create new historic features on the island,â€? said Bresee. “It was a wonderful festival. I saw the amount of work Andrea was putting into it and wanted to recognize that.â€? The focus of the Dry Stone Festival was to showcase the existing Irish dry stone walls on the island, learn how they were created and create new walls to add to the old. “We wanted to educate people about
the importance of these structures and the signiďŹ cance of them,â€? said Cross. “It resulted in the legacy structures being built, but it also resulted in us documenting and creating a self-guided dry stone wall map and tour guide so that people who come to the island can experience these walls and read about them.â€? The festival was held over a weekend in September and attracted a lot of attention from locals, people with Irish heritage and even wallers from Ireland. “We wanted to introduce Amherst Island and the dry stone walls to wallers from around the world so they could come and look at these historic walls and realize that their trade is something that is recognized as signiďŹ cant and important and celebrate the work that they do,â€?
said Cross. The event also worked to teach younger generations about dry stone walls and even allowed them to build their own walls out of potatoes. “It worked so well and we were able to build arches and walls out of these potatoes and then we donated them afterwards,� explained Cross. The main accomplishment from the event was a Celtic Cross legacy structure with an ocular design. The wall has an opening built into it that allows a shaft of light from a setting sun to shine through onto another carved stone – an event that only happens at certain times of year. “It is really beautiful and I’ve had numerous people who attended contacting
me to ďŹ nd out when the light will shine through next,â€? said Cross. “They want to come back to see the wall and really celebrate the cultural heritage of the island and Canada and that is what this was all about.â€? Bresee is happy that Cross is being recognized for her hard work with the award and above all, he is happy that Loyalist Township is being recognized too. “The award is well-earned and welldeserved,â€? said Bresee. “This is an opportunity for us to say thank you and for the entire province to say thank you to Andrea for what she has done. The island is in some ways an entity to itself and in other ways it is the heart of Loyalist Township and this just enhances that.â€?

Froid’Art back on the streets of Kingston despite spring-like weather While over a dozen local artists gathered at Kingston’s Martello Alley, excited to see the fruits of their labour unveiled during the grand opening celebration of Froid’ Art on Jan. 30, Mother Nature had plans of her own. With unseasonably, near record warm temperatures during the first few days of the free outdoor art exhibition, most installations had begun to melt away. By midweek, only small mounds of broken ice remained. “I was very concerned that the ice had melted so quickly,” says organizer David Dossett. “It was very disappointing that we had such a long stretch of warm, sunny weather.” But, even Mother Nature could not dampen the spirits of this group of artists. Rather than give up in defeat Dossett gathered the fallen artwork and rushed to get the art refrozen, with the hopes freezing temperatures would soon return. “I know people would realize that the weather was beyond my control,”
he says. “However, I did not want to disappoint those who had purchased the blocks, as well as everyone who was looking forward to seeing the ice art again.” Rushing to find a remedy, Dossett contacted Iceculture, the company who created the ice blocks, and asked them if there was any way that they could refreeze the art quickly so that the blocks could be ready for Feb Fest. “They said that there was a way. Basically, they would “sandwich” the art, instead of suspending it. This time, Iceculture cut a block in half, carved out a portion the size of the artwork in one block, placed the art on the block and filled the gap with water. Then the other block was placed on top - like a frozen art sandwich.” By the end of the week, most of the artwork had been refrozen, and the 300 pound blocks full of colourful art had been re-installed just in time to coincide with Kingston’s Feb Fest celebrations. Thus after a bit of a slow start, Dossett’s 300-pound idea is back for another run.
After the tremendous success of Froid’Art – Art on Ice last year, Kingston artist and show organizer Dossett just had to do it again this year. “We have recruited some new artists and also many of our artists from last year have returned, all with brilliant pieces of work frozen into ice,” says Dossett. Winter, for those us grounded north of the 42nd parallel, can be a bit of a misery. Many wish they could could hibernate until spring. This isn’t realistic, so Dossett’s idea was to give people the desire to come together as a community and get outside during winter. Froid’Art celebrates the Cana-

Artist Lori Kallay looks at her painting of birch trees, encased in a 300 pound block of ice, on display in the courtyard of Martello Alley, on Wellington Street between Princess and Queen. It is one of 21 works of art, created by a dozen local artists, which are part of Froid’ Art – Art in Ice, now on display throughout the city until the warm weather arrives. Photo/Rob Mooy
the blocks are illuminated at night and the effect is brilliant. Images depict everything from children playing to winter landscapes to an aquarium full of goldfish. There are 20 blocks in the downtown area and one in Napanee. One returning artist, Lori Kallay, created two pieces this year. “My first piece was the Goldfish (on display at The Secret Garden B&B), says Kallay. “I was completely inspired by the amazing Buluga whale installation that Mike Bruneau created last year. I loved how the transparency of the ice really created the effect of the whales suspended in water.” Her second piece, entitled Birch Trees, has been installed in Martello Alley’s court yard. “As a landscape painter, these are my favourite trees to paint. They have so much character, with lumps and bumps and wonderful colours revealing themselves as the bark peels away.” Kallay was enticed by the idea of a public art exhibit. She believes that art should be shared and enjoyed by everyone without exclusivity. “[Froid’Art creates] a feeling of community where people would get out and explore the downtown neighbourhood, an opportunity to see some of the brilliant architecture of Kingston, meet some new friends and enjoy some fantastic art. It inspired conversation and got people to want to go outside at a time when most folks feel cooped up. I love that.” The art will be on display until the warm weather arrives. The best time to see them is at night when they are all lit up. For a map visit martelloalley.com/ page/froidartktown.

STANDING IN OUR FIELD
Basic income guarantee a good idea for food and farmers The national movement for a Basic Income Guarantee is gaining ground. The heart of the Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) is a government program that would ensure every person in Canada a certain amount of income every year to “to meet basic needs and live with dignity.” And this could have big implications for food and farming. Dr. Elaine Power, an author and professor at Queen’s University, is excited about BIG’s momentum. “To me it feels like we’ve reached Gladwell’s proverbial tipping point,” she says. “It’s taken off like wildfire. A bit of effort, a lot of results.” In December of 2015, Kingston City Council passed a unanimous resolution endorsing the Basic Income Guarantee and calling on other cities to do the same. Kingston was the first, and a series of Ontario municipalities have followed suit, including Belleville, Cornwall, Peterborough, and Welland. The initiative has also seen growing support across Canada and across the political spectrum. Conservative former senator Hugh Segal is a vocal backer of BIG. Mayors from Edmonton to Calgary to Iqaluit have all thrown their weight behind it. During Prince Edward Island’s recent provincial election, the leaders of all major parties endorsed BIG, and PEI’s premier has vowed to promote it. “Certainly for low income folks who don’t have enough money to eat, a BIG would ensure that everyone has adequate money to buy the food they need for their health,” explains Dr. Power. “It improves dignity. It allows people to be socially included. To do things that are more normal. To go to farmers’ markets, not food banks.” For this reason, a Basic Income Guarantee is gaining wide support among food organizations such as Food Banks Canada, Community Food Centres Canada, and Food Secure Canada, as well as the Canadian Medical Association and the Ontario Public Health Association. “In my mind, a successful BIG would mean closing all the food banks,” says Dr. Power. “And would probably save about 20 per cent of our healthcare budget.” Poverty is a enormous drain on Canada’s health expenditures because people without enough healthy food get sick more often and stay sick longer. “We don’t like to think that people are malnourished in this country, but they are,” says Dr. Power. “People can’t get enough fruit and vegetables, even protein. People are living on cheap carbs, things that are filling, not things that are healthy.” BIG has special appeal for farmers and local economies. Dr. Power explains: “Low income people spend money in the local economy. They don’t put it in Swiss bank accounts, they spend it on essentials like food.
“It would provide a huge impetus for local economies.” As an example, Dr. Power points out that “research in the US on food stamps shows that every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.80 in local activity.” Farmers would also benefit greatly from a Basic Income Guarantee. The benefits for rural economies are clear. But a BIG could also stabilize income for farmers in the face of uncertainty, from fluctuating global grain prices to weather variation and climate change. A BIG would also benefit farmers at either end of the age spectrum. The majority of farmers in Canada are close to retirement age, and while food production is an important public service, few farmers have pensions like those retiring from government employment. Basic Income Guarantee could also encourage young farmers, who face substantial barriers - a major reason for the ageing farmer population. It would also be good for farm workers; right now, the challenges of seasonal employment can make it difficult to train and retain experienced workers on farms. And a Basic Income Guarantee could
also make it easier to farm sustainably More information can be found at farm with a dairy herd and a Communiand take care of the land.

For more about the vegetable better long-term stewardship choices He lives and works at a mixed family CSA, visit rootradicalrows.com. for the benefit of soil, water, and biodiversity. Dr. Power hopes this could apply to all of society. “A BIG could remove fear and restore a sense of security. So that we can think more clearly about the future and the kind of planet we want.” And she is optimistic that those in the future will one day see BIG as a core ENERGY MANAGEMENT WE part of our society.

ENCHANTÉ
With Valentine›s Day looming, what is one to do if there is no special someone in the picture? How did we become so programmed to feel embarrassed if we›re single, or guilty if we are coupled but don›t spend enough coin on our romantic partner? As I started to write this column, I kept humming This is Not a Love Song, Public Image Ltd›s 1983 post-punk critical fourand-a-half-minute visit to the world of love. If you don›t know the tune, just keep singing, «this is not a love song» over and over. That›s the framework for the piece. So, starting in the cynic›s mode, I have to wonder, why do we bother celebrating Valentine›s Day? It›s got everything to do with sales, and little to do with true love. If I love someone, should I not show that every day? The first known reference connecting Valentine›s Day and romance is credited to Geoffrey Chaucer›s Parlement of Foules (1382). By the 15th century, lovers were
Be the love
exchanging poems and handmade cards, often sealed with red wax. During the late 19th century, commercial cards had become popular. The corporate world never looked back. What will I be doing on Valentine›s Day? Possibly cynically watching some movie like Manhattan Murder Mystery or something equally Woody Allenesque. If I›m in a somewhat less cynical mood, the perfect Valentine›s movie would be The Wind Rises, Hayao Miyazaki’s beautiful tribute to aeronautical engineer, Jiro Horikoshi. In many ways, the film’s full of love, especially that shared by Horikoshi and his beloved Naoko Satomi. The movie also features some of the most beautiful animation ever created. Valentine’s Day is a time when many hopeful thoughts drift to marriage, with a desire of joining with a life-long partner. Some who are struck with Cupid’s arrow plan a big moment to propose. What bigger moment than February 14? And what better way than with a big sparkly rock? That’s where the diamond ring comes in. Not trying to ruin your moment if that’s what you have planned, but the sparkly rock things is another corporatecontrolled plan. Think diamond engagement rings have been popular forever? Nope. It was
New York’s Tiffany & Co that introduced the humongous (or less so) diamond solitaire in 1886. But the idea didn’t skyrocket until the late 1930s when the De Beers diamond company carefully crafted one of the world’s most successful marketing campaigns. Ever hear the phrase “Diamonds are forever”? That came from the original De Beers campaign to lure buyers with the thought that the diamond equated everlasting love. De Beers is also responsible for the idea that the proposer should spend one month’s income on an engagement ring. That was such a successful marketing ploy, that they later upped the ante to two months income. You can see
why I’m a little cynical and skeptical of all the love we associate with Valentine’s Day. We’re programmed by sly marketers to buy stuff.

Be the love Continued from page 30
Seriously, what does love have to do with any of this commercial nonsense? Am I being cynical or simply realistic? I’m not averse to love (or romance). What are all the people who are single—by choice or otherwise, or just not into the whole consumer mentality supposed to do on February 14? If love is truly about giving, not receiving, they you can share love in numerous ways on Valentine’s Day. Be a secret Cupid and leave a little something special on the desk of someone who needs cheering up. Maybe they’ve had a rough year. Or maybe they’ve been unlucky at love lately. Why not cheer up their day with something special? A book to read. A Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate. A single rose. A package of M&Ms. A cheery photograph. How about smiles for strangers on the street (without being creepy about it)? I recently experienced several situations of love, not the mushy romantic
Your
type, but the kind where a person truly gives of him/herself. Amidst more than 80 mm of snow (almost 70 mm of it coming within less than 24 hours), I made my way around New York City during the recent megastorm. I experienced the many communities of a city going through a difficult environmental moment. One thing stuck out. Lots of smiles and laughter. People made snowmen in the middle of Fifth Avenue and Broadway, streets usually teaming with traffic. They tossed footballs on West 54th. New Yorkers are supremely resilient. By noon, the Metro buses were shut down. As of 2:30, all non-essential vehicles were banned from the streets. By 4 p.m. the subway system was shutting down and Broadway went dark for the night. On Pell Street in Chinatown, a location where the crowds are usually shoulder to shoulder and cars bumper to bumper, a young boy, alone in the middle of the street with his parents watch-
ing from a doorway nearby, lifted piles of snow on his little shovel and tossed them in the air, laughing with each batch of snow he sent skyward. His parents shivered, but with smiles on their faces. The family lived in that moment where love is lived. They smiled at me as I walked by. On a subway platform, itself covered with snow blown from outside by howling winds, a tall man, a Samuel L. Jackson doppelganger (or maybe it was the real dude, New York’s like that), whistled Stand By Me. The ghost of Ben E. King lives. Within seconds, three young women snapped their fingers in time to the beat. Within another minute, all 15 people on the subway platform sang the song. At first I thought it was a flash mob, but I found myself joining in with what was simply a community coming together in a difficult moment. Love is found in community support. Love is about giving. I recently witnessed it in the form of a young woman, still living in Goth or post-punk mode
with beautiful hair in shades of jet black, blue and purple. Piercings filled her ears, lips, nose, cheek and eyelids. The razor blades attached to her leather jacket completed the look. Her partner was equally adorned. With the snow up to my knees and 80 kph winds making the falling snow feel like sleet, I saw an elderly woman with a walker hobbling at the corner on the other side of a snow bank. There appeared to be no way she was going to make it across the street. I wanted to help her, but, before I could, the postpunk couple approached her. I don’t know what was said, but each of them took one of the elderly woman’s arms (the young woman also carried the walker and the woman’s bag of groceries) and helped her cross a four-lane street. I stood and watched and realized the dampness in my eyes weren’t from the snow pelting my face. As they reached the far side of the street, the pair remained with the wom-
an until she walked up to a door. The couple gave her a long hug and helped her up the steps. She was safe from the storm. She opened her purse and tried to give them something, but they gestured refusal and shook their heads. She waved at them as they walked away, then she closed the door, probably feeling quite cared for in that moment. Forty-eight hours earlier I’d heard that a brutal storm was about to hit the east coast, but what I experienced over the day was love. No romance. Just love. I’ll take that any day. So, on Valentine’s Day, if you want to express and feel love, be like the young couple who helped the elderly woman with her walker cross the street. I’m trying to find a way to express mixed feelings about Valentine’s Day. I’m failing badly, so I’ll end with a quote from Jack Kerouac: “One day I’ll find the right words, and they will be simple.” Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

Great cast but latest Kung Fu Panda film still Jack Black’s show By: Mark Haskins’
I’ve said it before, but I’m compelled to say it again: the Kung Fu Panda movies are the best kung fu movies. Animated or not, Kung Fu Panda 3 is a piece of kung fu perfection. Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) has decided Po (Jack Black) is ready to take the next step in his training. It’s time for the student to become the teacher. Only it turns out Po is a terrible teacher. Po has a ways to go before he can fill Shifu’s shoes. Po simply doesn’t know himself well enough. Fortunately the universe provides Po with some insight. Po’s biological father, Li (Bryan Cranston), has found his son. While Po is reunited with his
means to be the Dragon Warrior. I want to start with just how gorgeous Kung Fu Panda 3 is. It goes from achingly beautiful set pieces of this mythical China to incredibly fluid action sequences creating a rich and vibrant world. The story is everything you’d expect. It is funny, heart warming, and clever. It’s the kind of tightly written story where everything fits together like pieces of a puzzle. Of course the kung fu is awesome. Sure it’s animated, and completely divorced from the laws of physics, but it is so well done you don’t care. In these characters they’ve created such interesting individuals, and given them such good lines it’s hard to pick a favourite. Combine that with such talent as Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, David Cross, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, Kate Hudson, Randall Duk Kim and James Hong, and you have something special. As Li, Bryan Cranston has just the right mix of Panda laziness and fatherly protectiveness. The Kung Fu Panda villains have always been complex, and J.K. Simmons captures it beautifully while still being both funny and

deadly. Of course this is still the Jack Black show. Black brilliantly gives Po this sense of wonder and joy, tempered with a strong sense of right and wrong. Po is funny, relatable and heroic. He’s truly awesome. This third film feels like the final one. If so then I’ll miss these movies, but I have to admit this is a great ending. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Easy fix offered for noisy wiper situation this proposal and he reported that it really quieted things down.
Thanks for the readership and kind words. I would suggest treating the windshield with a water-beading treatment. The most popular is RainX, but a competitor Aquapel (both available at most auto-parts stores) will last longer. With these treatments you should get less resistance to the blade and at speeds over 65 km/h, you won’t even need to turn on the wipers in the rain (the water will simply bead off). Be careful to follow the package application instructions, as either choice can be harmful to painted surfaces. You will have to retreat the glass every few months, but it’s pretty easy and cheap and will save wear and tear on the wiper system. This reader was nice enough to get back to me by email after trying
I hope you enjoy the sunny and warm south! If your absence will be longer than 30 days, chances are good the vehicle won’t start on your return. I’d recommend having someone start and warm up the vehicle every few weeks or so, or be prepared to recharge the battery upon your return. Letting a battery discharge may lead to onboard electronics problems such as radio memory or vehicle security systems. If the Toyota is in an attached garage that never goes below freezing, your battery should be OK. If a discharged battery does get exposed to below-zero temps, the acid will freeze and destroy it. Sometimes the crystal ball is broken. I heard of two cases recently that demonstrate the risks in older vehicle repairs. The first was a 15-year-old vehicle, towed into a shop with a broken and rusted brake line. The service advisor asked if the customer wanted a complete brake inspection and they declined stating they only wanted the broken line repaired. When any part of a brake’s hydraulic system is removed or replaced, the entire system must be purged or ‘bled’ of air to ensure proper operation. This requires opening a bleeder valve located on each wheel’s braking unit. In the case of this older ride, three of the
problem on an eight-year-old SUV. They did their research and shopped around and found new replacement air bags and shocks and hardware at very competitive prices. They brought in their full shopping bag of parts to their shop with a request to install them. Generally techs love this type of job because there’s no troublesome diagnosis to perform. On go the new parts and when the SUV was started, the on-board air compressor couldn’t raise the rear suspension more than an inch. Apparently the system had been leaking for a few months and the original eight-year-old compressor was working overtime and just wasn’t up to the job anymore. Fortunately in this case, the owner of the SUV was
able to locate a working used compressor at the fraction of the cost of a new one. There’s no hard and fast moral to either of these fractured fairy tales, except than when maintaining and operating an older vehicle, you sometimes have to expect unhappy endings.

“Hi Brian, I drive a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and which has a very noisy wiper when it is turned on. Unless it is a heavy down pour, it is noisy, even in light rain. I have replaced the blades but that did not fix the problem. Even the dealers have tried to “fix” it but it just keeps on scraping and bumping on the windshield. Is there any way of fixing this problem? It can be very distracting and annoying. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. We really enjoy your column, keep up the good work.” Thank you BW
“Hi Brian, We are going south this winter. If we leave our 2015 Toyota in the garage, can we expect it to start when we come back, or will the alarm system drain the battery?” Sent by winged messenger. J.
four bleeder screws were seized requiring the replacement of three brake units (calipers); surprise number one. The flexible brake hoses leading to the front brake units also had seized fittings and these both had to be replaced; surprise number two. After getting everything back together, the auto’s anti-lock brake pump wouldn’t operate correctly and it also required replacement at a cost of well over $2,000; worst surprise of all. There’s no guarantee that a complete inspection would have picked up on all or any of these things, but this was a classic case of ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’. The second case involved a smart consumer with an air suspension

None of the misfortunes compared with the grief I felt over Audrey going off to work to live away from our family on the farm, leaving school before she even had a chance to finish the Entrance Class. Yes, a bad week indeed. The Depression had closed in on us. There were bills to pay. Always there was enough food for the table, but no money for other essentials, like coal oil, flour, sugar, a piece of harness that had to be replaced, cough medicine and other necessities, causing Mother and Father to run up bills at Briscoes and the drug and hardware stores. The few dollars Father and Everett made in the bush on Saturdays did little to help. In my anguish over losing my sister, I had even untied the corner of my hanky from my washstand to add a few pennies to R0013575937
Well, it can’t get much worse, Mother said, as she put a fresh bandage on Emerson’s wrist where he had slashed it with his pocket knife when he was making a new sling shot. It had been a bad week. All
our heads had to have the coal oil treatment after Miss Crosby found someone had head lice at the Northcote School, a fox had made off with a couple of our best hens in broad daylight, Earl lost a gum rubber in the Bonnechere River when he was ice fishing, he was getting a cold, and this was the week my cherished sister Audrey would be getting ready to leave the Northcote School to do housework in Renfrew. “It never rains but it pours,” Mother said with a heavy sigh.
the pot, but I could only come up with 17 cents. What Audrey earned and turned over to Mother and Father would be what Mother called a lifesaver. Audrey’s clothes, and a scant wardrobe it was indeed, had been washed and ironed, and sat in neat piles on the trunk in the upstairs hall. Her shoes had been polished. She would be ready to go off in a week. None of my prayers seemed to be working. Just after breakfast that morning the phone rang. Mother was well known for her sticky buns and someone wanted to know if she could make a few dozen for a dinner the Oddfellows were holding. And yes, they would be glad to pay whatever she was asking, and could she have them in to Renfrew by Saturday? If she made four-dozen buns that would mean an extra two dollars! Two dollars badly needed. Our good fortune wasn’t to end there. Everett came home from school with a cheque from the school board for three dollars, his pay for going to the school every morning in the winter to start the fire and clean out the ashes. With-

out a word, he handed the cheque over to Mother. It still wasn’t enough to cover the bills but it was a help. After supper, more preparations were made for Audrey’s move into Renfrew; lisle stockings mended, new elastic put in her underwear. I sat well away, silently crying behind my library book, pretending to read. The week was going far too quickly to suit me. The next day, coming home from school, I plucked the mail out of the box at the end of our long lane. There were two letters and I recognized the writing immediately. One was from Uncle Lou in New York, who wrote Mother regularly, and one from Aunt Freda in Chicago, who wrote only when she had something important to say. Mother sat at the end of the table looking like she was glad to take a break from working away at getting Audrey ready for her big move from home. She opened Uncle Lou’s letter first and out fell a $100 bill! I had never seen a $100 bill in my entire life. Uncle Lou, in his letter, said he had just landed the job of doing some work on the Empire State Building and wanted to share his good fortune with his sister. Mother, of course, broke into tears and I felt obliged to do the same. With little interest, Mother got around to opening Aunt Freda’s letter and inside, right before our eyes, was a crisp $5 bill, with instructions that Mother was to go to Ritza’s Drug Store and buy a packet of valentines for the children to take to the Northcote School. I knew it would never see Ritza’s Drug Store. I was sent to the barn to fetch Father. By the time he came into the kitchen, Mother had all the money laid out in a row on the table. I had no idea why we were all crying when there was so much joy in the air! Finally Mother told Audrey to go upstairs and put her clothes back in her washstand and said she would be phoning Renfrew that night to tell them my sister would not be quitting school after all. I ran my hand over the money on the table. “It never rains but it pours, eh, Mother?” was all I could think to say. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

News – Tutoring is something that many people think of as remedial and corrective, but for Spotlight Learning, tutoring is all about confidence building, mentorship and life skills. The Kingston based, in-home tutoring company opened in June of 2015 and is operated by mother-son team Lynn and Max Sadlowski. Both have a passion for educating and teaching students from kindergarten to university more than just basic school skills. “When we originally looked at the market, we saw other tutoring companies doing well, but they focus more on curriculum based learning and three to one learning sessions,” explained Max. “We wanted one-on-one learning and we wanted to teach students how to learn, how to be organized and how to succeed.” Sometimes, success also involves learning outside-the-classroom skills, such as online smarts and bullying awareness. On Feb. 22, they will be hosting a workshop entitled ‘InCtrl – Being Smart Online’ at the central branch of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library. They hope that by opening up the communication, youth will get a better understanding of what is appropriate and what isn’t online. “We’ll talk about things like smart passwords, how to protect yourself on social media and how to prevent yourself from getting pulled into phishing scams and things like that,” said Max. “We’ll also touch on cyber-bullying too and how to be careful of tone and
how you speak to others.” The workshop will be interactive to keep kids interested and will include password analysis and even prizes. Max hopes that the overall message
will be well received. “A lot of students don’t understand that the Internet is written in ink, it is not in pencil and you can’t erase it,” explained Max. “Once it is online it is there and someone may find it 20 years down the road and it may be an issue for you.
We want to work to prevent that.” The workshop is also an opportunity for more people in the community to learn about Spotlight Learning and their services and Lynn hopes people will come check it out. “Our services are unique and valuable,” she said. “We really focus on engaging the students, building their confidence and teaching them the
soft skills they may not be learning at school and those can be so beneficial in life.” ‘InCtrl – Being Smart Online’ takes place on Feb. 22 at the central branch of KFPL from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and costs $15. For more information about Spotlight Learning and to register for the workshop visit www.spotlightlearning. ca
