Deficit spending on the table for Frontenac County budget By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News — It was almost like the first day of school at Frontenac County’s Committee of the Whole meeting in Glenburnie last week. At every seat, including the three at the press table, there was a shiny white three-ring binder filled with 2015 budget information. At the staff table, Treasurer Marion VanBruinessen’s toes were tapping a mile a minute, as they usually are at budget time. “I’m excited,” she explained at the coffee break. “This is the best time of the year.” For treasurers and accountants, it may be exciting, but for some politicians, some of whom are brand new to the process, it can be a daunting task. Even veteran politicians have much to ponder as the old saying goes ‘there is nothing as consistent as change.’ A case in point is the concept of deficit spending, or borrowing to finance a project. Federal and provincial governments have done it for decades, usually piling up huge deficits that become election issues when they get out of hand. Municipalities tend not to borrow for projects, but that could be changing. Frontenac County’s 2015 budget looks at borrowing being a component for some capital projects, including buildings. Warden Denis Doyle said he’s been to a number of municipal conferences where the subject has come up and concluded there is something of a push on for municipalities
to borrow. “We’ve never used deficit financing but people are starting to change their thinking and I’m pleased to see it,” Doyle said. “We can’t continue to depend on grants because the federal and provincial governments have maxed out their borrowing power. “And, with our old model, current taxpayers are paying for things they’re never going to use.” When asked if he was advocating municipalities go into debt to the extent federal and provincial governments have, he said “no, we’d have to be more responsible but it isn’t fair to have people paying for things only their grandchildren will be able to use.” However, not all of Council was as enthusiastic. When CAO Kelly Pender reminded this Council that the previous Council had directed staff to look into deficit spending, Coun. John Inglis, who was on the previous Council, took exception. “This is not what I agreed to last year,” Inglis said. “This is a much more liberal approach to borrowing. “You build a $1-million building and you’re allowed to borrow half of that?” Pender said that higher levels of government are “looking more favourably” towards municipalities borrowing and “I think what we’ve done is reasonable.” “In a perfect world, we’d be doing what the consultants suggest,” said Dep. Warden Frances Smith. “But the taxpayer can only afford so much and we’ve got to move slowly to get where we need to be.”

South Frontenac uses zoning to emphasize which roads they’re responsible for Gazette News — A development on Cranberry Cove Lane will carry the limited service residential zoning on the nonwater side and limited service residential waterfront zoning on the water side to emphasize that the Township is not responsible for maintaining or servicing the road, Planner/Dep. Clerk Lindsay Mills told South Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Coun. Ron Sleeth noticed a requirement on the zoning application for road surfacing and wondered “have we ever required this before?” “I don’t know if we’ve ever done it before but we have the right to ask for it under the Planning Act,” said Mills before deferring the reasoning behind the requirement to Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth. “We use a rule of thumb of 10 trips per day per lot, which would make about 60 trips per day for this development,” said Segsworth. “We don’t really have a number where we shift from gravel to surface treated but this additional traffic will create additional demands on the road and we’ve
committed to surface treatment for the road nearby to the fire hall. “But we told the developer we’d build the road and invoice them.” Subdivision requirements compel developers to build roads to Township standards regardless of whether they’re gravel or surface treated so that access for emergency vehicles is adequate. Many developers opt for surface treated roads anyways. ••• Like most municipalities at this time of year, South Frontenac Township is taking on its budget in earnest with several budget-specific meetings being scheduled. CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said the budget is on the Township’s website for the public to inspect. “The impact on the ratepayer is a 2.01 per cent increase at the moment and there are $987,000 worth of changes from last year,” he said. Mayor Ron Vandewal reminded everyone that the 2.01 per cent increase only applied to the Township’s portion of the budget, and they had no control over what the County or school taxes would be. He also joked that the 2.01 figure wasn’t etched in stone.
“Council can choose to go 8 per cent if they want,” he said. “That’s up to them.” ••• CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr couldn’t resist a little jab at councilors as he passed out copies of Bourinot’s Rules of Order, the text South Frontenac uses to conduct its meetings. “We even wrote your names in the
There’s
Simmons Pillowtop
Fall
book so we know who just leaves their copy lying around,” said Orr. ••• In response to a question from Coun. John McDougall, Planner/Dep. Clerk Lindsay Mills said the Township has looked into a request from residents living adjacent to a quarry to have severance restrictions eased.

“The residents did come to us because they couldn’t sever land within 300 metres of the quarry but the quarry was allowed to expand and carry out operations 150 metres from them,” Mills said. “We agreed that this did seem like a double standard and are taking steps to correct it.” “So, their original complaint has been satisfied,” said McDougall.

Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Animals hold a very special place in the heart of Kingston Heritage/Frontenac Gazette advertising sales manager Kate Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every morning I get up at the crack of dawn and feed our 26 critters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; eight ducks, seven chickens, one rooster, a pot belly pig, two goats, two horses, three dogs and three catsâ&#x20AC;? explains Lawrence, who lives on a farm near Odessa. Most of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;babiesâ&#x20AC;? are rescues in some form or another, including Beatle, a 12-year-old boxer/ collie cross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is from the Humane Society and has been part of our family for 11 years,â&#x20AC;? Lawrence says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone left her in a shed with her mother and five pups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no food, no water. All were near death when the Humane Society rescued them.â&#x20AC;? She notes that without the Humane Society, most of the animals on their farm wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had a chance. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Lawrence decided she wants to give back to the organization that has given so much to her family. On Thursday, Feb. 23, she and her fellow employees at the Heritage/Gazette invite you to a special cupcake day
bake sale, in support of the Kingston Humane Society, to be held at their office at 375 Select Dr. (behind Farm Boy). The sale will begin at 9 a.m. and last until 5 p.m., or until cupcakes are sold out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Humane Society plays an important role in Kingston,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They provide animals a second chance, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refuge from cruelty, irresponsibility of an owner or if the pet is lost, found, or unwanted. Animals cannot change their circumstances like humans can, which is why in my mind the Humane Society in integral.â&#x20AC;? And, be on the lookout for other similar fundraisers in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This fundraiser has sparked an idea in our office to be more involved in charity and give back to the community,â&#x20AC;? Lawrence says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I challenge everyone to find a cause that speaks to them and get involved. Pay it forward, give back.â&#x20AC;? In the mean time, she invites the community to come on over on Feb. 23 and enjoy some delicious cupcakes that will be made by employees. The office hopes to raise at least a few hundred dollars through the initiative.

Global Pet Foods wants to see your heart again this year By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette Events – February is the month of love and Global Pet Foods is hoping some of that love will come their way in the form of donations from their customers. On Jan. 31, the pet food chain kicked off their 9th annual ‘Show us Your Heart’ fundraiser to benefit local shelters. Each of the 160 Global Pet Foods stores across Canada will be collecting donations until Feb. 14 and here in Kingston, manager Carla Caird is hoping for some record-breaking donations. “Last year we raised $4,700 which was a bit short of our goal, but this year we are really hopStore Manager at Global Pet Foods in Kingston, Carla Caird with one-year-old Smallz, cur- ing to get to $6,000,” said Caird. “We did come in first in Ontario last year and in the top three in rently up for adoption at the store. Photo/Mandy Marciniak Canada and we hope to do that again.” Funds raised throughout the campaign go to both the Kingston and Gananoque Humane Societies and more specifically to a special fund that helps with emergency pet care. “Funds go to the Skip and Barney fund at the humane society and that fund specifically helps animals that turn up at the shelter and require medical attention,” explained Caird. “We’ve seen the fund help a lot of animals over the years and it

is a really worthy cause.” To reach their goal this year, Caird and her staff have come up with a number of incentives for customers to donate including draws for gift cards, bonus air miles and some other surprises too. “We don’t want to give anything away because it is a competition, but we’ve definitely come up with a lot of new perks this year.” The store will also be selling cookies and offering walk-in nail clippings for $10 or two for $15 throughout the campaign. All proceeds from both will go to the fundraiser and Caird hopes these little extras put her store over the top in terms of their goal. “We aren’t asking for the money for ourselves, we are asking for local animals and I think customers really understand that,” said Caird. “We have some very generous, loyal customers and many of them have been asking about when the campaign starts so we hope to have another successful year.” Global Pet Foods is located at 1111 Princess Street in Kingston and the ‘Show us your Heart’ campaign runs from Jan. 31 to Feb. 14.

$6 MILLION NEEDED FOR SECOND MRI AT KGH

ur region is fortunate to have the best stroke care possible, but our care providers need access to the best tools to provide that care. It is very import to have access to diagnostic information, in a timely fashion. Earlier diagnoses, better treatments and improved outcomes will result from the installation of a second tertiary care MRI. As KGH’s role in providing the highest level of specialty care (such as cancer care and stroke care) has grown, access to critical equipment such as MRI, has not. The province will provide ongoing operational funding for a second machine, but the community needs to raise the $6 million needed for the purchase and installation of the equipment. The need is clear. At any given time, there are 850 people waiting for an MRI at KGH. It is where the most complex scans are completed in the region. Anyone who is well enough and can be served at a communitybased clinic is referred there. Scans that must be
done at KGH are those that require special skill sets, equipment and services such as general anesthetic for children. Those waiting for MRI scans are prioritized by need. But because of the growing demand in our region, far too often, appointments are cancelled because a more urgent patient needs to be scanned. Imagine having a child who requires MRI scans every three months to monitor brain cancer and learning that the earliest they can get in is HYHU\ ÀYH PRQWKV More specialized care and better treatments are also resulting in more demand for diagnostic services such as MRI. This is particularly true with the delivery of cancer
care. Best practices for treatment (known as clinical standards of care) call for MRI in more instances for screening, diagnosis, disease staging, treatment planning and post-treatment assessment. “This is about providing people with access to the imaging care they need, when they need it,” says Karen Pearson, Director of Imaging Services for KGH and Hotel Dieu Hospital. “Not only will it help us meet wait time expectations, but most importantly, it will provide patients and their care teams with access to the information they need to get on with their treatment.”
Every person waiting for an MRI at KGH is prioritized by need relative to others waiting for a scan. The problem is, there are too many people who urgently require an MRI. A second machine will help address wait times. Photo courtesy of Matthew Manor, KGH.

In Our Opinion
Choose science, choose safety: vaccinate your kids
Festival, what festival? This is just what we usually do on winter weekends Talent show, fireworks, tomahawkthrowing, broomball tournament, fishing derby/fry, craft show, snowshoeing, heritage walk/run, Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner, dances, campfires, historical displays, wood-carving, photo contest . . . we do that stuff all the time. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t generally have snow sculpture contests but just for this weekend, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try it again. Although history suggests there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be many sculptures, organizers promise that this will be the year Railway Park will rival the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculpture garden. And oh yeah, Doc Bell doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally let people wander around his restored period home decked out in pertinent antiques, but you can see it this Saturday. Word has it you get a ride on a horse-drawn wagon to get there. But essentially, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another winter weekend in Sharbot Lake. OK, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not fooling anybody. Fact is, on the average winter weekend, you can shoot a cannon down most streets and not hit anybody. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different story on the snowmobile trails and fish-shack villages that spring up on many lakes, however.)

Gazette Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This weekend, the good folks of Central Frontenac Township are inviting the planet to come and see what we do in winter. OK, so the organizers like to refer to it as the Frontenac Heritage Festival but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much what we do every weekend anyways, only with porta-potties. For example, like many weekends, there will be snowmobile races on Sharbot Lake. Only this time, all the racers will be going in the same direction. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual on any given weekend for people to jump into the frozen lake. Well, maybe not in the morning like this weekend, it seems to be more of a light-night weekend thing. And how about a visit from Sir John A. Macdonald, while a bunch of old guys dress like they just stepped out of an episode of Blackfly fire muskets? Happens every day up here in winter.

come together and essentially just try to have a good time during what seems like an annual ice age simulation. When it started out a few years ago, the Festival was pretty small. The highlight was a trip to Crow Lake for a crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot and tomahawk-throwing lessons from Mike Procter and Bob Miller. (The Mike & Bob travelling history lesson moved to Arden a couple of years ago.) But then somebody got the though that co-ordinating with the fledgling return of annual snowmobile drags might be a good idea. That seems to have worked out rather well. So too, jumping into a frozen lake to raise money for charity seemed like a good idea to Mark Montagano and friends. Last year, something like 40 plungers raised more than $8,500 for the Child Centre, the school and the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society. This will be the fourth such plunge which could be the best one yet as costumes have been getting more and more elaborate (however, we have enough Habs fans plunging, thanks). Anyways, if nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invited you yet, consider this your formal invitation. DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES SeeJacquie you this weekend. Laviolette 613-221-6248

Editorial - Recent weeks have seen the conversation surrounding vaccines hit new levels on the international stage. This is primarily due to the fact that North America has witnessed the spread of infectious diseases for which there are known effective inoculations such as whooping cough, the mumps and the measles. But why are these diseases coming back from the brink of extinction now? The answer is readily apparent. It would seem that parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated with the MMR vaccine shoulder almost the entirety of the blame for the reemergence of these once-thought- conquered plagues. There are a number of reasons why some parents choose not to get their children vaccinated, however one in particular stands far out above the rest. Apparently, there are many out there who still believe the thoroughly debunked pseudo-scientific theory that the regular course of vaccinations are to blame for the seemingly soaring instances of autism. A single 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, published then retracted by the journal Lancet, is to blame for this misapprehension. The doctor in question has had his medical license revoked, and all his research deemed to be an elaborate fraud. Unfortunately, this didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop people like Jenny McCarthy from waging a campaign of misinformation to alert the world to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of vaccinations with predictable results. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-vaxers also like to appeal to another argument: the dogma of personal choice. At first blush, this seems quite a bit more reasonable than to persist in the totally discredited delusion that vaccines = autism. Parents, they say, acting in their capacity as guardians, have a right to decide what goes on into their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body. In our country, vaccination is indeed a choice adults make for themselves and their children, but choosing not to vaccinate simply to make a statement that one has this choice seems like an insufficient reason to put oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child and others at risk. Also, this logic ignores the fact that our freedoms are already significantly circumscribed by a broad swath of legislation preventing us from doing harm to ourselves and others. For instance, the law insists that we must file and pay our taxes, wear our seat belts, be in a sober condition to drive our vehicles, refrain from smoking in restaurants (or indeed almost any public place) and store dangerous firearms away under lock and key. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the legislation, you are always free to organize and lobby for political change, as our democracy affords us this opportunity. We as a society have recognized that there are some choices we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to leave solely to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;personal choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Surely, preventing the outbreak of painful, debilitating diseases ranks among the highest of societal priorities. When you choose to not vaccinate your children, you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just hurting them, you are hurting anyone they come into contact with who is under the age of one (when these vaccinations are typically administered), anyone who is immune compromised and anyone who is unable to be vaccinated due to other legitimate medical reasons. For these reasons, we urge you to please, choose vaccination.

Rock photographer to share his “fairy tale life” with locals would occasionally get mistaken for him. I think that helped. And it really helped that I took pretty pictures of his girlfriend [Yoko].” The rest is history. Russell continued to be called to do work for The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, including shooting the cover of the album Let it Be, which ended up being the final photoshoot the Beatles did together as a band. “I came back to America and I had the cover of Honky Tonk Women, which was the number one record in America,” he recalls. It just so happened the Stones were also in U.S. at the time, so Russell decided to drive down to see them in Los Angeles. “I knew them, you see, because I’d worked with them,” he explains. “And Mick says, ‘do you want to go on tour with us?’ so I do the whole 1969 U.S. tour.” The most surprising thing about that tour, he says, was how small it was. “There were only 16 of us – me, the Rolling Stones and 11 other people. That’s smaller than their makeup department today.” It also wasn’t quite the party most people probably imagine when they

Gazette News – “To study the story of Ethan Russell is to witness more luck than any human being should be allowed to have,” wrote the Daily Beast in an article about the photographer who has captured some of the most iconic images in rock history. Russell himself admits this is true. “What I really wanted was to be close to the music,” he says of why he travelled from his home of San Francisco to London in 1967. “I didn’t particularly want to be a photographer…but I can’t tune a guitar, so that wasn’t going to work.” Russell arrived in London and didn’t know anybody, but a friend of a friend happened to be doing a story about a local musician. “He asked if I wanted to photograph his first interview. I said, ‘who’s it with’? He said, ‘Mick Jagger’.” Some months later, the same writer was doing a story about another London musician by the name of John Lennon, and again asked if Russell wanted to collaborate. “I got on really well with John Lennon,” Russell says. “I was sort of a John Lennon clone - I looked like him and
think of a rock tour in the late ‘60s. “The truth of the matter was, for [that particular tour], it was very workman like. The shows were spectacular, but back stage was pretty damn normal. These guys had already been doing it for about six years.” While he hints that things might have changed a bit by the band’s ’72 tour, which he also went along for, Russell emphasizes that most mega-stars are where they are for a reason. “If you totally buy the image, especially the more exaggerated images of what these people are like, you completely miss the fact that the common thread for a lot of them is that they work like crazy. You need to be a worker. You
can’t be stoned and falling over all the time or you can’t do your work.” On both Stones tours, Russell’s mission was to authentically capture what it was like to be on tour with the band. “To get any closer to The Rolling Stones than you get from looking at my photographs, you’d have to go on tour with them,” he says. “I was with them everywhere and I didn’t change what was in front of the camera. [The pictures] are the truth, and as you can imagine, the truth is both more interesting and less spectacular than some of the fiction people have about it.” In order to share his incredible experiences with others, Russell created a unique sort of show, called The Best

He will be at the Grand Theatre in Kingston Feb. 27 to share stories about The Beatles, The Stones, the Who and other bands he has worked with. “It’s based on this completely fairy tale life that I got to have,” Russell notes, emphasizing that “it’s not a slide show, it’s not a lecture, it’s an evening of stories, with over 300 photographs and music…It’s just a great evening.” For more information about Ethan Russell, visit www.ethanrussell.com.

Manufacturing company moves head office to Kingston in hopes of expansion By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Gazette News – Moving a business from Nova Scotia to Kingston may not seem like the easiest decision, but for Tom Scott and his manufacturing and distributing company Fast Line Striping Systems, the transition made perfect sense. “We have more clients here than we do in the Maritimes, so being central in Ontario was very important for us,” said Scott who started Fast Line back in 1985. “In Kingston we are very central and close to the 401 and that makes it much easier for us to be profitable and grow as the years go on.” Fast line focuses on three main products; sports field lining systems, painting systems used to mark parking spaces and warehouse floors and playground game stencils. While the
line painting systems are mainly a domestic product, the playground stencils are sold worldwide and Fast Line offers almost 100 different designs. All three of Fast Line’s core products have grown in popularity over the years and while their warehouse in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia was built to accommodate their production in 1989 Scott found himself looking for more space to grow. “Expansion was the main reason we wanted to move. In Nova Scotia we have a half acre of land and 4,000 square foot facility,” explained Scott. “Moving here we have a 13,000 square foot space, an acre of land and that makes it easier for trucks to get in and out and makes it better for use overall.” Finding the perfect space in Kingston took some work, but with the help of KEDCO, Scott was able to find ex-
actly what he was looking for and was able to make the transition in the Fast Line off-season. “KEDCO was instrumental in this move. They were a tremendous asset to us in this whole process,” added Scott. “We found the space and we decided pretty quickly to move on it and here we are.” For Cyril Cooper, director of business development at KEDCO, helping Scott and Fast Line transition to Kingston was relatively easy. Cooper was happy to welcome the new business to Kingston and hopes that it will be a good fit for both sides in the years to come. “We are quite excited to have a company like this come into the region,” said Cooper. “For every one job that is created in manufacturing roughly three jobs are created in another area. Manufacturing has taken a
hit in Ontario in recent years, but if we can bring a company like this into Kingston that has an expansion forecast like they do then that is great for the city.” Job creation is certainly a positive and KEDCO estimates that Fast Line’s direct investment in Kingston is $2 million. The company plans to maintain their east coast facility as well and Scott hopes business will
continue to move forward in the years to come. “We hope to gain more customers and continue to grow. We are a unique company with a unique product and we are happy to be here in Kingston now.” The new Fast Line facility is located at 160 Binnington Court, for more information about the company visit www.fastline.net

TANKLESS HOME HEATING SYSTEM With a thermal efficiency of up to 97%, this matched combo offers a real ‘green solution’ that can dramatically lower home heating costs.
By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The bad news is that the football/soccer field at The Point park in Sydenham will be out of commission when this school year ends and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be available for use until the fall of 2016. The good news is that it looks like South Frontenac Township (owners of the field) and the Limestone District School Board (primary users through Sydenham High School) have come to an agreement on the rehabilitation and maintenance of the field. South Frontenac Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth told Council at its regular meeting in Sydenham last week that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had a meeting with school board officials earlier that day and came away with a good feeling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All parties agreed to get this thing going,â&#x20AC;? he said. In 2013, the field underwent some refurbishing, he said, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It still needed some sub-grade work, the sod needs to be stripped off and it needs a lot of work for drainage,â&#x20AC;? Segsworth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still a lot of details to be worked out but the school board has retained an architect and they expect to have a plan in about two months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will have the field this spring so it will be available for rehabilitation in June. Some of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;detailsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; include the actual cost, which the school board has pegged at around $100,000 but Segsworth expected the final tally â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be more.â&#x20AC;?
Under the draft agreement, the Township and the school board would share costs 50-50. CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said the Township has included a line item for its share in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. Other details yet to be worked out are the ongoing maintenance of the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Historically, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve (the school board) cut the grass during the school year and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it during the summer,â&#x20AC;? said Segsworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be better off if they just took over the cutting altogether.â&#x20AC;? Coun. John McDougall wondered about where the SHS teams would practice with the Point field out of commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2013, we relocated many of them to Centennial Park in Harrowsmith,â&#x20AC;? said Segsworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still some spots to be investigated.â&#x20AC;? That sparked some concern for Coun. Norm Roberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There could be costs for the other fields being used,â&#x20AC;? Roberts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football and soccer can be pretty taxing on a field and that has to be considered.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school does have their own (practice) fields,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Ron Vandewal. But Coun. Mark Schjerning had nothing but enthusiasm for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I congratulate staff for making this meeting happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely imperative we make this happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had groups turned away from using that area in the past.â&#x20AC;? Orr said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d still like to hear what the rec committee had to say on the matter.

Hotel Dieu adult eating disorders clinic unveils new kitchen facility during awareness week plained Mac Neil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want to encourage conversations about eating disorders and break down some of the stigma associated with them.

Frontenac County taking different approach to budgeting this year als to present to Council, which obviously would increase the budget figures. Council had previously passed resolutions suggesting any levy increases be tied to the Consumer Price Index, which was at 2.8 per cent during those discussions but has currently dipped to around 1.8 per cent. However, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;target levy increaseâ&#x20AC;? as presented in the budget documents is 3.45 per cent. However, with an increase in the assessment base, that number reduces to 2.97 per cent. That translates into a $5.15 increase for every $100,000 of assessment. (In other words, if your house is assessed at $100,000, the County
By Craig Bakay Reporter
Gazette News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the Frontenac County budget deliberations get underway in earnest, the morning line is a $37.5 million budget which, if it stands, will likely spell an increase for ratepayers, depending on how County Council manipulates its reserves, and/or if they opt for some form of deficit financing on some projects. CAO Kelly Pender presented the budget overview to Council, which he said reflects current service levels. He then added that staff had nine propos-
portion of your taxes in 2015 would be $177.07, up from $171.92 in 2014). However, all that could go out the window if staff proposals fly. One such proposal was almost voted down, a study costing $8,500 to determine if Council members are being paid fairly. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t passed into the budget yet however. The other eight proposals are: â&#x20AC;˘ An asset condition assessment requested by Corporate Services at a cost of $30,000 â&#x20AC;˘ LEAN Six Sigma Training (leadership training) requested by Corporate Services at a cost of $34,172 â&#x20AC;˘ Private roads study requested by
Planning and Economic Development at a cost of $60,000 â&#x20AC;˘ Community Improvement Plans requested by Planning and Economic Development at a cost of $70,000 â&#x20AC;˘ A vehicle for the Planning department at a cost of $39,748 plus $4,923 annual maintenance and $3,975 annually for 10 years replacement reserve â&#x20AC;˘ Trail development, $270,000 to complete the K & P Trail to Sharbot Lake (plus ongoing maintenance at $800 per kilometre of trail) â&#x20AC;˘ An economic development collaborative (to be funded from the $500,000 allocated to the Strategic Projects Reserve)
â&#x20AC;˘ A power lift stretcher/loading system for land ambulances for which the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share would be 21.25 per cent of $735,000 or $156,787.50. Many of the above projects would have contributions from reserve components. Budgeting has changed considerably for municipalities, Pender said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking at budgeting as a oneyear process doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anybody anywhere,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A budget is a numerical expression of an organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities and a way of eliminating surprises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re changing budgeting to be more of a two- to three-year process.â&#x20AC;?

United Way and Union Gas continue to spread warmth throughout the community By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Heat is something many of us take for granted throughout the cold winter months, but for some families heat is a luxury - and one that they can’t really afford. Luckily, the United Way and Union Gas are here to help; since 2007, the two groups have helped more than 462 households in the Kingston community with their gas costs. “The program is called Winter Warmth and it is run in 30 communities throughout the province,” explained Kim Hockey, KFL&A United Way’s director of investment. “Our
community receives funding annually for our local program and then we work with community intake agencies to find families that may be in need of the assistance.” Families are found through the Kingston Community Health Centre and the Napanee Salvation Army and the agencies work with families before and after receiving funds to ensure that they are able to take care of future expenses too. Families need to meet certain criteria in order to qualify and can receive up to $500 a year in assistance from the program. Often times families need assistance in the summer too so the pro-
gram now runs year-round. “It started off as just being a winter program, but it was realized that this isn’t a need that only presents itself in the winter, especially for low income families,” said Hockey. “When it is so cold out we certainly think about it more and the need for heat, but there are also days in the summer when families are in need of this service and some help too.” The number of families helped each year varies and is dependent on funds available and how much is needed for each. Hockey estimates that 20-
25 families are helped throughout the Kingston area each year and their circumstances vary. “The household may have received a disconnection notice or they may be in arrears with their bill or there may be a situation of illness or unemployment. Whatever the case, some families find themselves in a situation where they can’t pay their gas bill and that is where we come in.” In Kingston, one in seven people live in poverty and among those there
are over 4,400 children from ages zero to 17 that are living in low-income homes; Hockey sees Winter Warmth as just one more way to help those families and kids out, “We can help a family to maintain the roof over their head and keep the heat on. We are helping them maintain a basic need and that is so essential and important.” For more information about Winter Warmth visit www.uwock.ca/winterwarmth-program/

For 25 years, the primary-junior teacher candidates have been sharing what they learned from their studies at the Faculty of Education, at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University, with elementary school students in their annual Science Discovery Day at Duncan McArthur Hall. The event provides youngsters in Grades K to 6 an opportunity to get hands-on with science and technology-themed activities and experiments, while the new teachers observe and experience how children of different ages interact with learning materials.

Dauncey explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use [peanuts and nuts], we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow them in the building and we get our allergy paperwork from our suppliers.â&#x20AC;?

They will also hold an official grand opening Feb. 28 from noon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4 p.m., celebrating both the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;living arrangementsâ&#x20AC;? and Safariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first birthday; it will feature cake samples, free single wrapped roses for the first 20 guests and draws for gift certificates, baked goods, flowers and more.

Gazette News Everyone knows that flowers and cake go together perfectly - so when Jane Dauncey of Safari Cake Boutique and Jen Atkinson-Spencer of Sage Flowers saw an opportunity to house their businesses under one roof, they jumped on it. The space at 842 Gardiners Rd. has been home to Safari Cake Boutique since it opened a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working from home for a couple of years and I needed somewhere that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my living room to have clients come pick up their orders,â&#x20AC;? says AtkinsonSpencer. She knew Dauncey because the two recently collaborated on a wedding cake that was decorated with real flowers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just chatting casually and I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh, if you know any soap makers or jewellery makers who are looking to share a retail space, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the market and Jane said what about meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?â&#x20AC;? While the businesses will remain separate, the two hope to do more collaboration in the future, and become something of a one-stop-shopping destination for those planning weddings and other events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can just take a bit of the stress out of it because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one less place to go,â&#x20AC;? notes Atkinson-Spencer.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping maybe we can do a package or something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incentive,â&#x20AC;? adds Dauncey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people book with me and book with Jen, we can try to work something out.â&#x20AC;? She notes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a great fit because we both make everything custom, made to order to the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specificationsâ&#x20AC;Śinstead of something pre-made at a grocery store.â&#x20AC;? Already, the two have been feeding off one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creativity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realized when I was working by myself I would talk to my cat a lot,â&#x20AC;? laughs Atkinson-Spencer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have someone across the room you can bounce ideas off ofâ&#x20AC;ŚAnd I help eat all the leftover cake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m super helpful.â&#x20AC;? She describes her flower arrangements as often having a bit more of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;garden styleâ&#x20AC;? than most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came into floristry through horticulture,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was getting my horticulture diploma and they had an evening intro to floral design. I was hooked after I did that.â&#x20AC;? If given the freedom to create her own style of bouquet, Atkinson-Spencer often adds herbs and foliage from her own garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It adds a little texture and scent to it,â&#x20AC;? she remarks. Appropriately, Daunceyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature

fication that he had been selected as one of the artists who would inhabit Kingston’s new arts hub. By the time he was in high school, Curtis knew he was going to be an artist. In 1998, he started his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program at the University of Saskatoon, in the city where he’d been born and raised. When we talk about his childhood, he says he was a badass kid with a good heart. Then he laughs. “So I was tormented. I was probably ADHD. If I was ten years old now, they’d probably have me on pills.” One thing that has helped him centre and deal with down mental periods has been meditation. “Life was at a crazy point,” he says. “It was time to let go of ego Curtis Daviduke Photo/Mark Bergin and find a new spark for my art.

Curtis explains that after spending several days in a process of silent meditation, he found himself able to leave stressors behind or at least see their irrelevance. He found peace. To Curtis, it’s not a religion so much as an approach to life that involves respect and love and spreading love and compassion in the world. “We’re talking about one man (Buddha—Siddhartha Gautama) meditating and having a certain approach to life and passing it on to others. It’s not a typical religion in any way.” Fresh & Ready to Cook While in Saskatoon, in addition to his art, he also utilized his skills For an elegant and delicious main course cook up one of our eight in designing and building furniture varieties of fresh stuffed chicken, expertly prepared right in our and cabinetry.

Enchanté – There’s a quiet peacefulness surrounding the artistic work of Curtis Daviduke. But lurking near the surface, there’s also an impish playfulness. That’s readily apparent in his newest work called City Block where he’s carved a city skyscape into a large block of wood. Curtis Daviduke is one of the resident artists at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. He’s
a newcomer to Kingston who was thrilled to become part of the Tett creativity studio group. “It was really by serendipitous luck that I’m here,” he says. Curtis and his wife, Julia, had been living in Saskatoon. Julia got a job in Kingston and they moved here in the June. But Curtis had some contracts to fulfill in Saskatoon so was travelling back and forth through the summer and autumn. By October, he was looking for studio space in Kingston. He did a web search to see what was available in the city. He checked out some space, but said it was not the best. In other words, it was basically some dingy downtown basement. “I found out about the Tett just before the deadline for applications.” He got his application in and on one of his treks back to Saskatoon in mid-November he received noti-

Daytripper
Let your inner artist emerge Daytripper – There’s an artist inside each of us waiting to be released. If you’ve always secretly wanted to try your hand at some creative venture, you’ll have a chance over the next several weeks to check out many forms of the arts at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, the new arts hub at 370 King Street West. Arts samplers are being offered to anyone in Kingston who would like to try them out. “The samplers are our way of reaching out to the greater Kingston community outside the Tett,” said Shannon Brown, Community Engagement Coordinator for the Tett Centre. “They are our way of saying, ‘Please come to visit us and come see what we do; we have lots to offer.’ The City of Kingston has collaborated with us to bring free programming for the first three months of operation of the Tett, so you will notice that on every Saturday and Sunday different programs are being offered.” Part of each artist’s commitment to the creativity studios is offering time to the community every month. “Each artist contributes five hours a month to community engagement,” she said. “We felt
that the creativity studios could be part of that free programming and it’s an opportunity for people to come and get to know who the artists are and what they do.” There are 11 artists in eight studios; three of the studios are shared by two artists. “The people who were chosen are such a wonderful bunch of friendly, generous and talented, as well as very creative people who have a lot to offer the world, not just with their beautiful art work, but also in their ability to communicate what it means to be an artist and what it means to make art.” The first sessions were offered last weekend. Different programs are offered each week, but don’t worry if you miss an art form in which you are interested; the programs are repeated at least once every month. “We have a great cross-section of samplers. We have everything from collage to drawing and watercolor painting, and from sculpting to photography. You can come and meet the artists and share a cup of tea while coloring, inside or outside the lines, in an adult coloring book.” Each sampler is open to 12 participants at any one time. At the same time as samplers are offered, there will also be open studio times when the public can come in and watch an artist at work. “Both are available on Saturdays and Sunday,” said Brown.
“If you are interested, come early. The Saturday sessions start at 10 a.m. and doors open at 9. If you are interested, come a bit early and find your way to the creativity studios and sign up with the volunteer at the door.” She explained that for most of the samplers, there will be a fair amount of turnover as samplers may last from 15 minutes to an hour. The Sunday sessions run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday Arts Samplers are designed for kids with their parents/caregivers. Anyone under 19 has to have an adult sign them in. For those 12 and under, a parent has to stay with the child. Sunday sessions are designed for adults and families. The open studio sessions are for anyone to watch the artists. While you’re in the building, there are lots of other areas to explore. “There are so many things happening,” said Brown. “You can attend a sampler and then go to some other event in the building. You could try out an instrument at Joe’s M.I.L.L. (Musical Instrument Lending Library). You can take a look at the Tett Community Art Exhibit of the past and future. Peak into the pottery studio or watch a dance class.” Each resident arts organization has massive walls of windows so visitors can see what’s going on inside. Continued on page 29

Meditative artist Continued from page 20
After moving to Kingston, he decided that instead of just drawing what he saw in the aerial photographs, he’d carve one in a huge block of wood. He had some old rusty tools sharpened and he got a small carving set. That first carving became City Block. It’s a beautiful carving you can see outside the Tett artists’ studios. He’s now working on a second City Block. Working in miniature isn’t something new for him. In fact, he grew up around miniatures. “I’ve always been attracted to scale and the magic of miniature scale,” he says. “I’ve
always done miniature buildings and city scapes. Carving them into a block of wood follows naturally. I like old wood. Carving a little city scape goes back to miniatures I saw as a kid. My mum did miniatures and was a miniatures enthusiast. There were all these little scale things around the house that had magic to them.” I asked him how someone who takes a meditative approach to life and art deals with frustration and gets excess energy out. “I like energy sports,” he says. “Ultimate Frisbee, hockey. There’s a dualism. I’m rough and rowdy at the hockey rink and I’m the Buddhist quiet guy in here (the
Tett).” Active sports brought another benefit. Curtis and his wife met playing Frisbee. A lot of his active energy goes into his carving and art. He explains that the artist has an important cultural role. “Through history, artists have always been in tune with the leading subversive issues of the day. They are in tune with what’s going on and they see what’s going on. They have a finger on how people feel in general. Artists are the ones pushing the issues. You look at any community and the artist sees the possibility and pushes it forward.”
He says he feels fortunate to have landed in Kingston at the very time when the Tett was opening. “Being around other artists is great,” he says. “I’ve always been drawn to that kind of environment. And you see such creative people coming and going here. The pace is different than in a business. The energy is all based on wanting to create. If things aren’t going well, I stop and take a breath and look at all that’s going on and realize how amazing this space is. There is such diversity of artistic talent. If I had done my Google search for studio space two days later, I wouldn’t be here. But I am here, and I see how much energy went into saving
this building years ago and I feel I’m part of its history now. I cherish my time here. We’ve got to treat this as a sacred space.” He explains that he has joined a group of artists that already feels like a supportive community. “There is a nice feeling here. People are bumping into my work and my work is bumping into new people. I don’t know many people yet, but there’s a nice feeling in this building. I’m so far ahead than if I was working in a basement studio.” You can find Curtis Daviduke in Tett Centre studio 214G most days of the week. He welcomes visitors and will gladly sit down and chat.

“There are many different ways to engage with the arts at the Tett,” said Brown. “If you’re curious, come to the Tett and walk through the building and allow yourself to be drawn in by something that inspires you.” If the grand opening of the Tett, The Whole Shebang, on January 31 was any indication, the Tett is going to be the happening place in the city. The Tett reached its visitor capacity within an hour. The overflow of people waiting to get in lined up in the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts for up to 45 minutes, just for the opportunity to get a look at and explore the new Tett Centre. “We were so thrilled with the grand opening and all the people who came to visit,” said Brown. “Every time I walked the halls, people were all smiling, amazed at what they saw.” What they saw included experimental and brilliant dance combined with aerial circus arts and spinners (from Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners) at Kingston School of Dance, stilt walkers, artists and drummers in the corridors, pottery making and weaving, and participation in theatrical performances in the Malting Tower and at the Theatre Kingston space. Brown said that now that all the resident arts organizations are up and running, classes are available daily. “The organizations have their own classes, but people have also been renting space for original programming. Whiskey Fest will feature a sampling with all food cooked with whiskey on February 19. There’s a jazz concert coming up. As well, Modern Fuel has a Vapors Music Performance with three bands on February 28. On the same day, Greg Keelor from Blue Rodeo will be here with the
Kingston Canadian Film Festival.” On February 14 (this Saturday), from 10 a.m. until noon, you can watch an open studio (in 214E) where I’ll be working with dancers from the Ballerinas Dancing in the Streets photography project. There will be talkback sessions from 10:45 to 11:00 a.m. and from 11:45 to noon, where you can ask dancers any questions about ballet and raise any questions you want about photography. The arts sampler on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. features photography. Bring your camera and questions about how it works or how to improve your photography skills. The open studio (214D) on Sunday with Barb Danielewski and Brock Jones Clow will offer budding artists an opportunity to try their hand at many forms of creativity, creating collage, and even including coloring books for adults. And, of course, tea will be served. In next Saturday’s (February 21) open studio, you can meet artist, drummer and drum maker Yessica Rivera Belsham. The Sunday (February 22) arts sampler is offered by Curtis Daviduke (see today’s Enchanté column), who will explore mandala symbolism as you find your inner Zen and create a mandala using collage techniques. All workshop topics and times should be confirmed on the calendar of events at the Tett website, tettcentre.org. The open studios and arts samplers take place in the common area of the Creativity Studios (Studios 214 A through H). Shannon Brown recommended that people should check the Tett calendar often as it will be updated regularly as programs are added. For information, visit tettcentre.org or call (343) 266-0009.
