Central Frontenac adopts head injury/concussion policy for township programs By Craig Bakay
News — Central Frontenac Council adopted two new policies with respect to injuries and in particular head injuries at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The first policy, called the Injury and Illness Reporting Policy, outlines injury and illness reporting for the Township and is in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act and primarily affects Township employees. The second, the Head Injury/Concussion Policy, is intended to ensure the safety of people who participate in Central Frontenac programs and activities. “It (the policy) is to assist in the event of a head injury or possible concussion by knowing the signs, symptoms and behaviours of (someone suffering) a concussion or other possible serious injuries,” said a report prepared by executive assistant Donna Longmire. “This policy will be promoted by all Central Frontenac Recreation programs, the swim program and any other programs or activities offered through Central Frontenac.” Clerk Cathy MacMunn told Council that the policy is consistent with what organizations like the Child Centre have. “But they don’t have softball or soccer,” she said. “We’ll make sure our rec committees will have all the information.” “I can talk to the rec committees,” Coun. Jamie Rick Law stands outside his new business, The Godfrey Social Club. Learn more about this Riddell volunteered. new South Frontenac establishment on page 7.

Hockey has been active in this area.” Much of the concussion policy is taken from a brochure by the Parachute Canada organization, a group dedicated to injury prevention with a focus on motor vehicle collisions, sports and recreation and seniors’ falls. Parachute estimates that 40 per cent of head injuries in children aged 10 to 19 occur during sports. Their website claims that each year in Canada, there are 16,000 deaths due to preventable injuries, 60,000 disabilities, 3.5 million emergency room visits and a $27 billion economic burden to the Canadian economy. The brochure said that a concussion is a brain injury that cannot be seen on routine x-rays, CT scans or MRIs that affects the way a child may think and remember things, and can cause a variety of symptoms. A child does not need to be knocked out (lose consciousness) to have had a concussion, it said. There can be a variety of symptoms including not knowing the time, date, place, period of a game, opposing team or the score. There could also/or be general confusion, inability to remember things that happened before and after the injury or loss of consciousness. If suffering from a concussion, a child may complain of headache, dizziness, feeling dazed (“having my bell rung”), see stars or flashing lights, have ringing in the ears, feel sleepy, experience loss of vision, blurry or double vision, stomach ache, pain or nausea. Other indicators could include poor coordination or balance, blank stare or glassy eyes, vomiting, slurred speech, slow to answer questions, easily distracted, poor concentration, strange emotions or simply not playing as well.

By Craig Bakay
News — A proposal by Public Works Manager John Badgley to charge $1 per large plastic item at Central Frontenac waste disposal sites met with a resounding “no” at Council’s regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Badgley said recycling outfits are no longer accepting the large plastic items as there is no market to sell them given the low price of oil these days. “From discussions at the waste management committee, we are recommending a $1 charge on large plastic items (such as lawn chairs and toys),” he said. “Smaller items will be left to the discretion of site attendants. “For example, if you have room in your clear plastic bag for it, we won’t charge you.” But Coun. Tom Dewey led a fervent charge against the idea. “I’m not in favour of charging a fee for hard plastic,” Dewey said. “To me, this is an added tax on our residents. “If we sort these items out, there will be a market when oil prices go back up.” Dewey reiterated an earlier suggestion to discuss the possible purchase of a plastic grinding machine with neighbouring municipalities rather than charge for plastic items. “I just don’t agree with it (charging for plastic items),” he said. Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald was also interested in a grinder. “What are other townships doing?” MacDonald
said. “North Frontenac takes theirs to Kimco and gets charged,” Badgley said. “South puts it in a big pile like we do. “I don’t know what the Islands do because they ship all their waste out.” Badgley said his inquiries suggested a price of $250,000 for a used grinder and $500,000 for a new one. “I found a company in Cambridge that sells one that would suit our needs for around $50,000,” said Dewey. “It wouldn’t take this (6 foot) table for instance but the table could be chopped up into three pieces before putting it through.” “South has been looking at some solutions,” Badgley said. “It’s something that can happen between North, South and Central.” Mayor Frances Smith questioned the logistics of handling such fees at the dump and wondered what the primary motivation for charging a fee would be — to generate revenue or to dissuade people from bringing these items to the dump. “If it’s to dissuade people, these items will be in people’s front yards or end up in the ditch somewhere,” she said. “It’s primarily to offset costs,” Badgley said. “If we charge, they’ll end up on the side of the road,” said Dewey. “I think it’s something we need to discuss with our neighbours,” said Coun. Jamie Riddell. “I’m not for fees.” In a recorded vote, only MacDonald voted to consider a tipping fee for plastic items.

Amnesty garbage load to remain, incineration cited as a possibility By Craig Bakay
News — Central Frontenac Township’s longstanding policy of offering an ‘amnesty’ load once per year at Township’s waste disposal sites
will continue, but the discussion did open up the possibility of incineration in the future. Public Works Manager John Badgley told Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake that the waste disposal committee wanted to

bring the amnesty load discussion back to the table. “With the amnesty, a lot of people see it as a free-for-all,” he said. “Attendants do see TVs and other recyclable items in the loads. “It’s not all residents of course.” Mayor Frances Smith reminded Council that since this matter had already been decided by a motion months ago, it would require a Notice of Motion by a councilor to bring it back and that motion would require at two-thirds majority to be reconsidered. Coun. Tom Dewey had a lot to say on the matter. “I’m not in favour of bringing this back,” Dewey said. “I’ve got a lot of letters, emails and phone calls (supporting the amnesty program). “I agree that if people are bringing in TVs and things we need to educated those people.” “We do have things to be done but our attendants are doing their job,” said Coun. Jamie Riddell. “Cancelling amnesty is not the way to go.” “I’ve gone to some amnesty days and if we only have one person working, we might not be able to check everything,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “We may need to set up a different procedure in the future such as if you bring in a trailer, you should be prepared to take half an hour to sort out the
recyclables.” Badgley said one of the concerns over the amnesty program is that it accelerates the rate at which dumps get filled up, and the Ministry of Environment is not allowing any more landfills. However, Dewey questioned the estimates on how long landfills might last. “Since those estimates of time left were made, we’ve done a lot of things to mitigate how much goes into the landfill,” Dewey said. But he did concede there would be an eventual end to landfills and had a suggestion. “In Durham region, they got everybody together and set up and incinerator,” Dewey said. “I agree that’s something we should look at, but we’ll need partners for it,” said Coun. Jamie Riddell. “At the end of the day, whether we charge fees or not, we’ll still be getting the garbage,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. “We have people and they make garbage — and we keep getting more people. “Even if we take out amnesty and charge tipping fees, we’ll still get garbage. “We’ll have to look at other strategies and incineration is one of them.” The report was received for information.
Open mic nights in Sunbury full of fun and opportunity for local musicians By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Events – As a musician, getting up in front of an audience for the first time can be intimidating – that is where open mic nights come in. “Open mics are a great opportunity for musicians to get some of the knots out of their stomach and really learn how to perform,” explained John Kot, a long time supporter of open mic nights in Sunbury. “It is a great supportive environment to start off in.” Kot has been a part of the open mic nights in Sunbury for the past six years. He originally heard about the weekly event from others in the community and after coming out once he kept coming back. “I run the sound and I play lead guitar as support to other singers, “ he said. “I help people get more comfortable on stage and really provide a good background sound for them.” Open mic night in Sunbury, at the Storrington Centre Fire Hall, has been running on
Friday nights for the past eight years. Each week a group of 20 to 30 performers come out and play for an audience of over 100 people. “There are a lot of people who come every week and also some new faces that travel from other areas too,” said Kot. “It started out being more country and gospel, but then it evolved. The gospel end sort of dropped off and basically it is bluegrass, country, pop, classic rock and stuff like that.” According to Kot, performers age in range from 25 to 80 and everyone comes out to support each other and have a good time. “I love seeing the different people come out and seeing how they progress over the weeks and years,” he said. “It is a really great experience.” On top of lending his support to the open mic nights, Kot also invites amateur artists into his own recording studio each year to record a couple of songs. “I do one CD a year and I have various amateurs that are featured on it,” he said. “It is called the Sunbury CD and we sell it in
the community and the profits go back to the artists. It gives them an opportunity to see how recording works and gives them an opportunity to get their music out there to the community.” Exposure is the most important benefit of the CD and Kot is always surprised to see how much artists can grow from the experience. “It is rewarding because I see some of them very nervous coming in to sing, but they learn a lot and they get much more comfortable by the end,” he said. “They really appreciate it and where else are they going to
get that opportunity.” Entrance fees for the open mic nights are low, around $3-$4, and while some of the funds go to buying new equipment for the events, the rest goes back into prizes and draws for those in attendance. “It is a great time and really cheap,” said Kot. “Anyone who likes music or likes to play music should come out and have a good night.” Open-mic nights in Sunbury take place on Friday nights at the Storrington Centre Firehall, 3910 Battersea Road, from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m.

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.
WINTER MAINTENANCE To assist our crews in their winter control efforts, the parking of vehicles on Township roads and village streets from 12:00 midnight to 7:00 a.m. is not permitted from December 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016. As well, pursuant to Section 181 of the Highway Traffic Act “No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway without permission in writing from the road authority responsible for the maintenance of the road. Please be advised that the Township of South Frontenac will NOT be responsible for damages to mailboxes, newspaper boxes, recycle boxes, garbage cans or parked cars where said boxes or vehicles interfere with the winter maintenance on Township roads.

News – Four years ago, Rick Law bought a piece of property at the corner of Hwy 38 and Westport Road. The buildings on the property were old and in need of a lot of work, but he saw the potential. “When I took over this building, it was on the verge of being condemned and people actually thought I was going to tear it down, but that would have been a shame,” said Law. “It is a historic building and I wanted to give it new life.” Law is a mechanic by trade and does everything from simple insurance work to rebuilding classic cars and even elaborate custom paint jobs. He immediately converted a couple of the buildings on his new property to work spaces, but one space still needed a purpose. “I thought about making it a space where people can come and hang out, have a coffee and just come together,” he said. “I also wanted it to be a place where people could meet up on their way over to Westport and a place where they can leave their cars and then all go in together. I wanted to create a space people could really use.” The place Law created is called the ‘Godfrey Social Club’ and after a lot of work and effort, it is now open to the public. “I started fixing this space up at the end of last summer,” he explained. “When I decide that I want to do something, I want it done immediately and I have been working hard since then.” Law had his work cut out for him; the building that now houses the business is 160 years old and he had to raise the whole foundation, put in new steel posts, gut the ceiling, put in a drop ceiling and washroom facilities. “Every penny I make goes right back into this place to make it better and better,” he said. “I have been certified by the health unit now to sell hot chocolate, coffee, tea and ice cream and now I have a fuel system and have passed the inspections for that too. It keeps getting better.” Law hopes the space will become a stop for snowmobilers in the winter to warm up and refuel and a stop in the summer for cottagers, tourists and motorcyclists. He also Canadian hopes the space can be used by local residents of Godfrey.

“I didn’t do this for money, I did this for community,” he said. “I want people to come together more because everyone is so splintered and it is hard to get people to come together out here.” Law would like to host movie nights in the space and even has a vintage popcorn maker he has fixed up for the occasion. He’d also like to see the space become a work area for some residents and has free Wi-Fi to support them. “It is a great space with so much potential,” he said. “It is the perfect space and people just need to know about it.” The community feedback has been great so far and Law is grateful for the support, especially from the local residents. “It has been really good and that is what has kept me going,” he said. “There is nothing similar to this in the area and I think there is a real need for a community space like this.” Eventually, Law would like to expand the business even more and offer a selection of food too, but for now he just wants people to come in and see the space. “I care about people and I want to provide a service to help people,” he said. “I want to give something to the community and that is what this space is all about.” The Godfrey Social Club is located at the corner of Hwy 38 and Westport Road and is always open to dropins.

Considering the possible demise of Daryl Dixon, esquire Column — By the time most of you read this, Feb. 14, 2015 will have come and gone. The date is significant not because it’s Valentine’s Day. Even though it’s the date of the Frontenac Heritage Festival’s popular Polar Bear Plunge, believe it or not, there is something else of import happening. Feb. 14, 2016 is the date AMC’s The Walking Dead returns to the airwaves for the resumption of Season 6. Since the series took its annual hiatus in December, there has been no end of speculation as to what will happen in the cliffhangers left, and in particular — who will die. A lot of characters die in The Walking Dead. In many respects, the series is similar to HBO’s Game of Thrones, particularly in the case of killing off characters. Game of Thrones has been espe-
cially ruthless about its characters, even killing off such huge fan favourites as Ned and Robb Stark, and Jon Snow (who is, however rumoured to be coming back, resurrected in the same way The Lightning Lord was). Just being popular with fans does not guarantee survival in Game of Thrones. While the head count is every bit as deep in The Walking Dead, they do seem more reluctant to kill off popular characters, even to the point of teasing Glen’s death only to have him survive by swift thinking and more than a little bit of luck. However, that does not mean he’s out of the woods for another six seasons. In fact, nobody is really safe as major characters from the TV show have been killed off before their counterparts in the comic series on which the TV show is based. Foremost of these is likely Andrea, who met her end at the hands of The Governor on TV a couple of seasons back. In the comics, Andrea is still alive and well and coupled with the story’s main character, Rick Grimes. Andrea wasn’t necessarily a fan fa-

vourite but other characters sacrificed to the ratings gods have been (Herschel, Tyreese, Beth and Buttons the horse come to mind). All of which brings us to the game of bones — who’s going to die before Season 6 ends? There’s a lot of speculation (on the internet anyways) that Daryl Dixon will be gone. This would be a huge mistake. Although he’s not in the comics (ie a character created just for the TV show), he’s become integral to the group and easily the coolest character on TV in a long time. That is unless you count Michonne, who’s also pretty cool. Michonne’s probably pretty safe though because she’s also in the comics and has some pretty important stuff yet to do, assuming the TV show continues to follow (mostly) the comic storylines. Of the major characters, Rick, Carl, Maggie and Michonne are probably safe. Daryl, on the other hand, has really no unfulfilled storyline to play out. But if they have to kill off a major character, Morgan, Glen and Abraham die in the comics so let’s hope the hunter continues on.

At MP Mark Gerretsen’s very interesting pre-budget consultation at Memorial Hall this past Feb. 9, Gerretsen stated clearly that Canada’s Liberal government would fund “rehabilitation of existing infrastructure� in their first round of infrastructure spending - NOT NEW INFRASTRUCTURE! In other words, federal funds are not currently available for either the Third Crossing or the Airport. The new Liberal government priorities are $20 billion for transit related work, $20 billion for green infrastructure and $20 billion for social infrastructure. Gerretsen also stated that cheaper projects are more likely to get funding. Canada’s major cities are lining

Let’s focus on improvements to our transit infrastructure in an upgrade to the city’s transit plans that could hopefully gain provincial as well as federal funding.

All these cars create unnecessary congestion and clogged arterials during rush hours. 3) Make transit free - or charge a minimal 25 cents a ride.

Who’s really on trial in the Ghomeshi case?
Editorial - Over the past couple of weeks, former CBC Radio Host Jian Ghomeshi has been on trial for sexual assault. Ghomeshi was charged in November of 2014 after nine women came forward with reports of abuse and sexual assault. After some pre-trial motions and back and forth, Ghomeshi was charged with five counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking. He plead not guilty to all charges. As his trial began at the beginning of February, many looked on, hopeful that the accusers would be an example for other women who have been assaulted. But what occurred was very different and now, there is fear that the case may actually deter victims from coming forward. Early on, it became clear that the case was less about Ghomeshi himself (who never actually took the stand) and more about the credibility of his accusers. Three women took the stand and instead of being asked about the events that took place, the defence asked what kind of car Ghomeshi drove at the time, how their hair was styled when he allegedly pulled it and why they continued to talk to Ghomeshi after the alleged attacks. We have to wonder, why was any of this relevant? At times, it seemed as though the accusers were the ones on trial. The statistics for sexual assault reporting are already bad and according to Statistics Canada data there are 460,000 sexual assaults annually in Canada, but only a fraction, about 15,000, are reported to police. For every 1,000 incidents, 33 are reported, 12 result in charges, six go to trial and three result in convictions. This trial doesn’t do much for these statistics as onlookers see that instead of giving a voice to these women, the trial is simply cutting them down and questioning their credibility at every turn. Haven’t we moved beyond the victim blaming? When all of these allegations came out there were calls for the victims to be heard and campaigns like #beenrapedneverreported appeared. Many were hopeful that this would be a turning point for sexual assault cases. Maybe it still can be. We’ll find out on March 24.
back. It becomes cheaper and more convenient for them to take a cab. Further, our very friendly and helpful bus drivers often waive the fees when people don’t have exact change - resulting in lost revenue for the city. According to numbers provided online for the 2015 Operating Budget, currently the city spends $18,063,511 on Transit. There is an additional “Administration� cost of $1,605,192 and another cost of $276,246 for Bus Stops and Shelters for a total expenditure of $19,944,949. The city receives revenues of $6,655,439. In 2015, transit carried over four million riders. If CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: each paid $2.50 that -would be $8 million Sharon Russell 613-688-1483 in revenues, so there would appear to be Adrienne Barr - 613-623-6571
some unexplained discrepancy here. If the city just asked for a flat fare of 25 cents for each rider, each trip, no matter if youth, adult or senior, the fare box receipts would be $1 million. That would make the costs more like $18.9 million, so it would represent a move from 3.93 per cent of the city’s budget to 5.6 per cent. No fares at all would be a 5.9 per cent increase. This makes sense. Making transit free or of minimal cost would align with the new Liberal priorities as well as with Focus Kingston, Sustainable Kingston and the priorities stated in the city’s Official Plan. s !DVERTISING RATES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE ACCORDING TO Mary Farrar the rate card in effect at time advertising published. s 4HE ADVERTISER AGREES THAT THE PUBLISHER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE Kingston for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond

A tale of two pregnancies trimester was sore breasts. Half the time, I even forget I’m pregnant, though that’s becoming harder to do now that a little bump has started to grow. My nan had five children – three boys and two girls. She always said she was sick as a dog when pregnant with the girls, but perfectly fine with the boys. As a result of this very nonscientific theory, I’m betting this baby is a boy. 2) Coffee….and other pregnancy “no-nos”. The first time I was pregnant, I was obsessed with avoiding anything

a bit surprised that I ended up gaining that much. Still, I didn’t give it much thought until after I gave birth. For some reason I was under the illusion I’d go right back to normal, but in reality it was months before I could wear my regular clothes again and I felt down and blah about not looking and feeling like “myself”. This time, I am determined to limit weight gain while also trying not to obsess over food/calories and continue my efforts to be a body-positive example for my daughter. I think part of the problem last time was that I’m not super active during the winter, and used pregnancy as an excuse to be even less active. In my defense, my third trimester with Summer spanned the entire winter. It’s hard to go for a run or even a walk when a) you’re huge and b) it’s freezing outside and there’s snow and ice on the ground. Thankfully, winter has fallen during early pregnancy this time, and the weather hasn’t been too bad this year so I’ve still managed to get at least one daily walk in. I also got myself a Fitbit to better track my activity and even joined a gym, which I’ve been attending a few times a week. I’m doing everything in my power to have a healthy pregnancy but I suppose if I do gain too much again I can always just chalk it up to that old lie of my body doing what it needs to do and leave it at that.

What to Expect categorizes as unsafe. The list is long and contains a good portion of things that in my opinion make life worth living. This time, I’ve grudgingly completely cut out two of my favourite things in the world: wine (and all alcohol) and hot yoga. But I’m still drinking close to my normal amount of coffee, eating the occasional runny egg, etc. Stressing about every little thing seems so ridiculous to me, and limiting my coffee intake to one small cup per day the first time around turned this caffeine-addicted journo into a grumpy, lethargic, headachy mess. Occasionally, I even find myself shaking my head about the “ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL” commandment (and, more generally, the heaps of guilt our society piles upon mothers in many different ways). Would having one little glass of champagne on Christmas Eve really hurt the baby?? The answer is no, but of course I refrained anyway. If any little thing went wrong, I’d forever blame myself for taking that tiny sip of bubbly. 3) Pregnancy weight gain. With Summer, I gained a little over 45 pounds, which is quite a bit more than the recommended 25-35 pounds a woman of my body type is “supposed to gain” during pregnancy. When I’m not pregnant, it’s pretty easy for me to stay at a healthy weight I’m reasonably comfortable with, so I was

We’re finally doing it, folks. This August, our little family of three will become four. Before the baby is born, though, I first must go through the stage of being pregnant, which is of course its own major life event that I have many
feelings about. So far, what’s struck me more than anything are the many differences between this pregnancy and my first. Here are some highlights: 1) Nausea (or lack thereof). When pregnant with Summer, I spent the majority of the first trimester avoiding food and/or hovering over a toilet. The nausea was so bad the doctor prescribed a medication for it so I could continue to work and function in the world like a somewhat normal human being. This time around, I’ve had none of that. The only symptom I had during the first

Record-breaking jam “This has been our largest crowd ever, we’ve run out of chairs,� said organizer Wilomene Card at last week’s Bedford Jam in Glendower Hall. The popular Sunday musicfests have been a boon to the community not only in terms of a musical diversion but Card also announced they’ve raised enough to donate $500 to each of the North and South Frontenac Food Banks this year. Mark Larobie, who was there selling raffle tickets on a Martin guitar for the Kingston Civitan Club was so impressed that he kicked in $40 to each food bank as well.

Kingston area organizations launch new Community Risk Watch program By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Building a safer and healthier community is a main priority for many organizations in Kingston and while they all work hard individually, a new program wants to bring them together to help even more community members in need. On Feb. 9, representatives from 12 organiza-
tions in Kingston launched the Community Risk Watch initiative, a collaborative, multi-agency program that will work to meet the needs of individuals and families experiencing acutely elevated levels of risk. “These are individuals that may be on the brink of doing harm to themselves or harm to the community and it is really about trying to help people before they hit crisis level,” explained

Lisa Holmes, regional director of specialized care at Ongwanada Resource Centre and chair of the working group that helped launch the Community Risk Watch program. Participants in the Kingston Community Risk Watch program include both the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic and Limestone District School Boards; Addiction and Mental Health Services of KFL&A; Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services; Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington; Ontario Provincial Police; Kingston Police; City of Kingston; Pathways for Children and Youth; Victim Services of Kingston and Frontenac and Youth Diversion. Representative from these organizations will meet on a weekly basis for a ‘situation table’ discussion where individual cases will be presented, discussed and evaluated. “They all gather and they can bring forward situations that they have encountered in their own work area or that other groups have brought to them,” said Holmes. “It might be someone who has been identified in the school system, but there
are factors involved including the family and that is beyond the school’s control. By reaching out to other community partners to get involved it is bringing the services to the individual before they or the family hit a breaking point.” After assessing situations and needs, rapid intervention will take place and representatives from certain organizations involved can help will deliver their intervention within 48 hours. “They will do a ‘door knock’ where they will go visit the family and offer the services,” said Holmes. “It is not about going and enforcing or apprehending, it is about going and offering assistance through services.” Global Community Safety developed the Community Risk Watch initiative and similar programs are already running successfully in other communities across Canada. In Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, the violent crime severity index dropped by 39 per cent since the launch of their program in 2011, almost three times the average drop recorded across the rest of the province.

Cancer will be diagnosed faster at KGH thanks to new microscope donation mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – For patients dealing with a possible cancer diagnosis, waiting to hear the official news can be difficult; a new donation to Kingston General Hospital (KGH) is hoping to help alleviate some of this stress. On Feb. 9, Kingston Community Credit Union (KCCU) announced a $60,000 donation to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) in support of a new multi-head histopathology microscope for KGH. “The microscope allows our pathologists to provide guidance to surgeons in the diagnosis and treatment of patients during their surgery,” explained Colleen Knapp, manager of the histology laboratory at KGH. “It will be a valuable tool for teaching new pathologists, sur-
geons, residents as well as medical laboratory technologists that pass through our department.” The generous donation from KCCU is part of the community organization’s continued support of KGH; in 2007 they donated $250,000 to the hospital, which was used to help outfit a new intensive care unit and purchase a washer and sterilizer for surgical tools. “KGH is the cornerstone in life for everyone in the Kingston community,” said Jon Desseau, chief executive officer of KCCU. “As a credit union, community engagement is core to our business and supporting KGH is key to that.” Desseau went on to explain that KGH and KCCU have a long history that spans nearly than 50 years. “We had a little office in the basement of this building in 1969, which

Kingston literary group hopes to sponsor refugee writer and family By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
R0013635219
News – Like many Canadians, local author Ray Argyle has been watching the situation in Syria unfold and wanted to help. Argyle is a member of the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Letters (FACL) and he approached
the foundation about what could be done. “I had no trouble convincing the board to make a grant, but according to their charter, that money has to go towards bringing a refugee writer to Canada,” explained Argyle. “We are happy to oblige and excited to bring a new literary voice from Syria to Kingston.” The FACL has granted Argyle and his newly

formed Kingston Writers’ Refugee Committee, of which he is the chair, $40,000 to sponsor a writer and his or her family. The group is working in partnership with the West Kingston Refugee Partnership of the United Church of Canada as well as Pen Canada and International Cities of Refugee Network (ICORN) to arrange sponsorship of a Syrian refugee writer and family. “We’ve been in touch with the United Nations relief agency and they furnished us with a list of six writers,” said Argyle. “The hard part becomes how we choose. We did establish some criteria based on their status as a writer, their family situation and the current circumstances they are in and what we feel might be the contribution they can make to Canada.” Argyle is joined by other literary figures
from Kingston on the committee including Lawrence Scanlan and Barbara Bell and he was surprised that after each committee member had evaluated the candidates, the decision was almost unanimous. “It has turned out that our first choice had already been chosen by a church group in Toronto and that is fantastic, but now we are in the process of waiting to hear back about another individual.” The group’s next choice is a senior writer who has published short stories and has translated many works of English non-fiction into Arabic. He has two children and his wife is a poet. He was also held in prison for more than 10 years because of his work. Continued on page 15

Kingston area organizations launch new Community Risk Watch program Continued from page 12
“With this program, there is the opportunity for the OPP to bring cases to the table where we don’t have the resources that these individuals need in order to make their lives better,” said Sgt. Sharron Brown with the Frontenac detachment of the OPP. “It allows us to get assistance with things
like housing and mental health issues or whatever the case may be.” Sgt. Brown also hopes that the Community Risk Watch program will work from a preventative standpoint. “That is certainly a positive spin off to all of this,” she said. “Sometimes we are the only service available at two in the morning and we will come if we are need-
ed, but when we are able to hook individuals or families up with the proper services afterwards we may not receive that second or third call.” While meetings are still in initial stages, members of the situation table were already excited to get things started and help more people in the community. “There is a lot of training behind this
Kingston literary group hopes to sponsor refugee writer and family “I guess all refugees need help and support, but none more so than writers…the writers are in trouble because of what they have written and because they have exercised their free speech,” said Argyle. “They are at high risk, they are being imprisoned, they are being tortured and murdered, even in the refugee camps. We really need to think about the risk they face.” While Arglye wishes that he could help all of the families on the list, it simply isn’t possible at the moment. Still, he is hopeful that if this venture works out,
more will follow. “There are others equally deserving and we would love to sponsor them all,” he said. “We look forward to them getting here and that is when the big job begins.” The family could arrive as soon as four months from now and Argyle has been in contact with other private sponsor groups to get advice and feedback on how the transition has been. He also hopes to connect with the Islamic Society in the coming days. “We want to integrate the writer into the community as much as we can,” he said. “Being
writers, it seems that they all have English to some degree, so that is great and we look forward to linking and connecting them to the literary world in Kingston and Canada.” Above all, Argyle is excited for this opportunity and he looks forward to the enrichment that the refugee family will bring. “I think it is a great opportunity to do something worthwhile,” he said. “We know that Canada is enriched by its diversity and on an intellectual level it is especially important. I think it will be very beneficial to have them share their stories and have a voice once again.”

and the policies that are designed to assist you don’t work because you’re a one-off,” says Jason. “They’re not going to design a policy for the 600 across Canada.” After all first line treatments using the medications that successfully treat more common types of nephrotic conditions failed, doctors began trying Allie on a number of immune suppressant drugs – “the sort you see in cancer centres,” notes Sandy.

1lb 12 oz at birth, the little survivor pushed on against all odds. Two years later, Sandy and Allie were reunited by a chance encounter. Despite living with ongoing special needs, attachment and medical issues and spending the initial years of her life in foster care, Allie had grown into a sweet and spirited toddler – and she was still in need of a forever family to love her. Sandy had a strong feeling that the little girl was meant to be a part of their family, and she and Jason officially adopted her. Shortly thereafter, Allie experienced yet another health setback when her kidneys stopped functioning properly. She was diagnosed with steroid dependant nephrotic syndrome (NS), a life-threatening condition so rare many doctors have not heard of it. “The adoption happened quite fast and after it was finalized we got the diagnosis,” Sandy recalls. “But it didn’t matter. It never would have changed anything. Allie was always meant to be ours - she’s our girl.” Not so much a disease in itself, NS is more of a set of signs and symptoms that result from damage in the kidneys’ filtering units. Allie’s case is considered particularly rare. Some of her immunoglobins, which help fight infection, stopped working. Any time she was exposed to an allergen, her glomeruli (capillaries found in the kidney) started leaking protein. She’d gain a lot of water weight and would hardly be able to move. For their first year together, the family lived in and out of hospitals while doctors searched for a way to treat Allie’s illness. Desperate to learn more, Sandy began doing her own research on NS. “It’s daunting, and the fact that we are somewhat educated allowed us to open doors for ourselves, whereas the vast majority wouldn’t have known to ask,” Jason says… “Sandy doesn’t brag, but when we walk into a room and the doctor’s there, she’s the smartest one in the room about this illness.” Still, the treatment process has been a struggle, involving a lot of trial and error. “When you have a rare illness the systems

While these drugs managed to get her NS somewhat under control, they’ve also forced her to live in quarantine. Were Allie to come into contact with a virus, her immune system wouldn’t have the ability to fight it off and it would be devastating for her health; this has made living the life of a normal child next to impossible. “She lives in a micro world,” Jason explains. “She goes to gymnastics, but she goes in when no one else is looking. That’s her time. She has a private swimming lesson and she goes when the change rooms have the least amount of people in them. She’s like a ghost.” The immune suppressant drugs are keeping Allie’s kidneys going for now, but she cannot live on them forever; doctors feel that in approximately two years, they will need to start trialling her off the meds. At that point, she’ll probably need dialysis and a kidney transplant– and that’s the best case scenario. “The thing about this disease is there is no end,” Sandy says. “Once you have a kidney transplant you can get it again. It can come back and re- attack the new kidney.” This past December, however, the family found a glimmer of hope when Sandy came across nephcure. org, a website from the U.S. where people with NS and their loved ones come together to form a community, advocate and raise money for research and better treatment options. “We’d been sitting in a bubble for the last two years, but there are other people out there like us. We’re not alone,” she says, noting that it’s been wonderful to connect with other families who are going through the same struggles. Becoming part of this community, made up largely of Americans, gave Sandy and Jason the inspiration to try and increase awareness of NS in Canada as well as right here in Kingston.
They stress that the scary thing about NS is that, while rare, it can happen to anyone at any age. They also wish the public would be more aware of people who are vulnerable to viruses before sending their kids to school with a cold or even heading to the office sick. “Your common cold, that can trigger a relapse for Allie,” Sandy says. “And for us by extension - if you come to work sick, you get me sick, you get my daughter sick,” Jason adds. The other thing the couple wants the world to know about Allie: she’s a pretty amazing little girl. “The one thing you can say about Allie is she just loves to love,” Sandy says. We’ll come home and she’ll give the best hugs and kisses ever. She gets to play with little friends if it’s in a controlled setting and safe and they’re not sick and she just loves them, she gives them hugs and kisses. She just wants to interact and engage. She loves to dance, loves Taylor Swift. That’s our girl.” You can help raise awareness of and money for NS by posting a video of yourself and/or child making a snow angel, and sharing it on social media using the hashtag #snowangels4nephcure. People are then encouraged to make a donation at www.nehpcure.org. On Feb. 23, Allie will be going for an important surgery in Ottawa, and Sandy hopes people in the community will support her by posting a selfie with the hashtag #SUBCselfie, donating $5 to www.nephcure.org, and nominating five friends to do the same. Sandy adds that March is also kidney month. “We need our community to come together, to start talking about what they can do to help find cures. Donate to kidney organizations…talk to families about being a donor, and if in favour, register yourself.” In addition to nephcure.org, more information about kidney disease can be found at http://www. kidney.ca.

A deafening silence: documentary explores stunning decline of world’s bird population

Events - We’ve all heard the phrase “the canary in the coal mine.” But what if all birds were proverbial canaries, of sorts, and the whole world was like one big coal mine? This reality is explored in Su Rynard’s new film The Messenger. “Birds are indicator species, which means what’s happening to them could reflect the environment that they’re in, so in a way they become these messengers, or sentinels, for environmental change.” Personal experiences inspired Rynard to make the film. She’s visited her family’s cottage in the Kawartha Lakes her entire Call us for your group transportation needs.

Rynard says there are a number of things average people can do in their daily lives. “First and foremost, remember that conservation works. You can support your local conservation initiative in any way - there are so many examples of success stories there.” People can even help the birds by changing the type of coffee they drink. “There’s a kind of coffee that’s organic and certified shade grown. That provides habitat for songbirds in the tropics, which is where their wintering grounds are.” Also, you can turn your lights out at night and keep your cats indoors. “Cats are really trouble for migrating birds,” Rynard explains. Furthermore, the neonicotinoid pesticide that’s killing bees is also said to be killing birds, so supporting any local initiative will also help. Rynard hopes her film will give audiences a greater appreciation for nature and our place in it. “The idea that nature exists outside of us, like some 1950s Disney movie, is just so old fashioned. We live inside nature and we impact it. It’s not far away. It’s the air we breathe, it’s the tree in our backyard, it’s the planet we live on as organisms. I think that kind of broader message is important.” The Messenger will screen locally later this month as part of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival. You can catch it Saturday, Feb. 27 at The Baby Grand at 3:50 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 28 at The Screening Room at 3:50 p.m. The film has done very well at previous festivals, and even received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for cinematography.

places. “Basically we’re changing the planet faster than birds can cope with,” she explains. The film explores the many challenges songbirds face by following them on their mostly human made ‘obstacle course’ as they migrate south for the winter, then back north. “They have to fly through cities, they have to not get eaten by people’s cats, their mating calls have to not get drowned out by industry. They can’t get distracted by light pollution and get thrown off course.” Not to mention climate change, which is wreaking havoc on systems that govern things birds have done for millions of years. “Some of them are descendants from the dinosaurs, so these systems have been in place for a long time. And the way we’ve changed the planet really, really has affected them. So there are lots of dangers.” Yet she says the film is also hopeful. “It can be overwhelming, but I think that people find hope in film because there are so many scientists and activists that are working to discover what the problems are. It feels inherently positive that there’s a movement there of people working for change.” The film also explores the fascinating nature of birds’ migrations south. “Migrating birds travel these enormous, enormous distances - 8,000 kilometres each way to migrate in a year. The fact that this little tiny creature can do that I think is astounding.” So what can be done to help the birds?

CANADA'S FIRM FOR SMALL BUSINESS TAX NEEDS
The Wolfe Islander III celebrated by Margaret Knott
News - It is a pleasure to write about the recent event held to celebrate the ferry, Wolfe Islander III ‘s 40th Anniversary of service to Wolfe Island. The event initiated by the ‘Friends of the Wolfe Island Ferry Service’ (‘Friends’), assisted by on-shore staff including Capt. Bob Woodman and supported by Regional MTO staff bringing together past and present ferry personnel, captains, mates, engineers, & staff from MTO’s Regional Offices, Regional
Director Kathy Moore. Also MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle, interested public from Wolfe Island/ Kingston and islander, Tom Wroe who spoke on behalf of Friends. Following the arrival of the Wolfe Islander III, horn sounding, special flags flying, greeted by MPP Kiwala, Mayor Doyle, and MTO’s Kathy Moore, the formal event began in the Kingston ferry terminal. “We have a group called Friends of the Wolfe Island Ferry service started last year and we want to
encourage events like this. We want to advocate for the ridership of the ferry. So anything we can do to help make the service better that’s what we aim to do,” Tom said at the outset.” Mayor Doyle followed with congratulations for the Wolfe Islander III long years of successful service. “ Largely due to some of the people here,” he said. “I saw Sherman Niles and Ken White who actually were on the ship when it sailed down from Thunder Bay into this harbour Dec. 16th, . I spoke with my friend Winfield Woodman who said it took hours iof shore work (and short trial runs) to get things working right for the Feb. 5. 1976 inauguration attended by then Mayor Tim O’Shea, Syl Apps, & Minister James Doyle Student, Seniors’ and Snow.’ thanked all those Military Discounts! past and present who maintain the ferry and captains and crew for the service they

provide. .and MTO staff at Counter Street. MPP Kiwala expressed her delight at being there. She said that when elected in 2014 she was expected to be an expert about everything. “The WI ferry situation last summer was a trial by fire. But I have to say that during that time I began to realize how important that ferry is to islanders. Without it, lives are enormously impacted,” she said adding that sitting near Minister Del Duca in the legislature she was able to bug him about last summer’s ferry delay . “ I do want to tell you that the Minister and I had hoped to come back from Hamilton on the ferry, but it was to be an 18 hour trip. However on that night I woke up at 4 am, messaged the ferry, heard back , viewed pictures, watched the sunrise. It crystallized for me in that moment how much the ferry means to the community.” Kiwala, expressed thanks to the (ferry) staff at Counter Street and particularly to Kathy Moore for all she has learned from her about ferry services, in particular, and also the scope of regional transportation requirements (highways,bridges etc.) in eastern region. MTO’s Kathy Moore thanked
Mayor Doyle and Friends for taking the initiative to remember the 40th Anniversary of the Wolfe Islander 111.”It has been a great opportunity for MTO to be associated with the WI Ferry service since the 1960’s,” she said noting the social and economic changes that were brought about in the lives of islanders 40 years ago with year round service. “These changes were brought about in large part by the former employees captains, crew, shore staff, those who brought the boat down, and those who serve today. This ferry has moved millions of passengers in all kinds of weather and still they remain passionate, concerned and dedicated to their work. Thank you to the generation who has gone before, some of whom are with us today and to those who presently work with the ferry service today.

The Wolfe Islander III celebrated
Royal Military College wins 48th annual historic hockey series
Continued from page 20
Captain Brian Johnson spoke nostalgically about his time on the Wolfe Islander III. “ I was driving in this morning and saw the Islander coming in just as beautiful as ever and I finally accepted her. For years she was a certain size , a certain shape in 1975,” he said. “There are two important dates in my 33.8 years. The first was walking down to the boat Sept. 11, 1981 and the 2nd was June 23rd, 2015 walking off the boat. I never had one bad day on the Wolfe Islander. I had bad weather, hard trips . We all have. But I loved the guys I worked with, loved the people I worked for and loved the people we serve .” A visual presentation prepared by
Royal Military College (RMC) cadets seemed to have mastered how to excel at hockey 1800s style, played with a square puck. For the seventh time in eight years, RMC won the coveted Historic Hockey series Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Brigade Association (2RCHA) trophy after beating Queens University 4-3 in the final game played at Springer Market Square Feb. 6. In game one, 2RCHA defeated Queen’s University 5-3. In the second game, 2RCHA led RMC 3-1 late in the game, but 2RCHA had three players ejected for intent to injure/unsportsmanlike conduct and the officials made the decision to disqualify 2RCHA and award the game to RMC – allowing the cadets to go on to win the title.

Braised red cabbage and apples goes well with many meats Sweet yet a bit sharp, this colourful vegetable dish goes well with pork, chicken, turkey or sausages. It can easily be made ahead and reheated in the microwave. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: about 40 minutes Makes about six cups (1.5 L) Ingredients • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter • 1 Ontario Onion, halved and sliced • 8 cups (2 L) thinly sliced red cabbage (about 1 lb/500 g) • 2 apples, peeled, quartered, cored and sliced • 1/2 cup (125 mL) water • 1/4 cup (50 mL) red wine vinegar • 2 tbsp (25 mL) packed brown sugar • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
Preparation instructions In large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add cabbage and apples, stirring well. Add water, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper; stir well and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered, stirring often, until cabbage is tender, 25 to 35 minutes. If needed, cook uncovered a few minutes to reduce any excess liquid.

The question isn’t which camera to buy to take great photos. Instead, determine which camera will best serve you in the kinds of situations in which you like to create images. For a start, no one “takes” a photo; we create photographs. Most of the major camera companies on the market today offer great products. If I want a camera that’s always by my side/in my pocket, I’d select the smallest one that has great quality. For me that’s the Canon S100 (sorry, it’s a discontinued model) and the Fuji XQ-2 or the slightly older XQ-1. As for lenses, don’t go nuts. I own about 30 lenses, but I actually only use about three of them. If you are going to use a certain lens only three or four times a year, rent it for those occasions. There’s a new (well, a new old) kid in town: Fuji. I first checked out their X-Series line of digital cameras at a conference in New York City last year. I was always a huge fan of Fuji film. They offered my favorite series of color

It’s the person holding the camera, not the size or brand of equiipment, that makes a difference in the quality of the final photograph created. Photo/Mark Bergin films. But we’re now in the digital era, and Fuji lost a lot of its consumer prominence for about a decade. They’ve slowly been building a line of superb digital cameras. In 2010, Fuji launched its X-Series of digital cameras. I now own the Fuji XT-1, an amazing camera, the best I’ve ever worked with for street (or on-the-go scenic) photography. It’s quiet and powerful. For a camera at this level, it’s

small, so you won’t look like a pro with it, and that’s a good thing. You can get into settings where some monster of a camera and lens would not get beyond security. For me, it’s the perfect travel/vacation camera. I’d also consider the Fuji XT-10, which is newer and may be the better deal. My reason for going with the XT-1 was the kind of work I do. I’m often in less-than-ideal situations on the street/in the field. The XT-1 offers the best weather sealing of the Fuji line. Canon (and Mamiya) is the brand that I’ve used regularly for years. I do not get into the argument over which is better: Canon or Nikon. I’ve heard people debate at length about which glass is better, yada, yada. These are people with too much time on their hands. I’d rather be out there taking photographs. Canon, Fuji, Hasselbad, Mamiya, Nikon, Olympus, and several other makers all offer cameras that provide visual quality that was unheard of in the digital (or film) realm only 10 or 15 years ago. Don’t buy a camera without holding it, feeling what it’s like to create a photograph with it. Go into a retail shop

Perhaps it’s the time of year, with temperatures less than conducive to wandering outside in shorts and a t-shirt, but, every February, I invariably receive the most questions about photographic technique and cameras. People want to take the time to learn before the weather improves. In addition to teaching photography and videography at St. Lawrence College, along with my studio mate, Suzy Lamont, I run regular workshops on photography. At the most recent
session on January 30, there were several questions about getting better equipment. So, to deal with a question I hear regularly— four (yes, 4) times last week alone: “What camera should I buy if I want to take good photos?” The question is akin to asking what stove you should buy to become a better cook. It’s not about the camera (or the stove), it’s the skills of the person holding the camera that make the difference. If you want to explore photography, start with the camera that’s sitting closest to you right now, possibly a cell phone in your pocket. But if you want to start learning the special skills involved in creating photos where you deliberately blur the background, work in low light or fast action (for example, dance or sports) situations, and you want to be able to control tricky lighting, you’ll need more than your cell phone.
Photography: drawing with light Bigger is not necessarily more professional. I can always tell the tourists and recreational photographers: they’re the ones with the big lenses wandering locales like Kingston’s Blues Fest and Fort Henry, or New York’s Times Square. As a working professional, I try to remain as inconspicuous as possible. Sure, if I’m at a fashion, concert or sports event being paid big bucks and I have to get the shot, I’m using one of those big lenses. But I believe that less is usually better. If it’s a straightforward question about what I personally use, then I’ll answer that my main camera is a Canon 6D with a 24–105 mm f/4 lens. The purist might cry, “How can you work with an f/4 and not the f/2.8 and call yourself a professional photographer?” I’ll end the discussion explaining that the person asking the question has a camera ten times better than mine with the sacred f/2.8 lens, yet they aren’t making their living at photography. I have groceries to buy. I don’t need to look like a pro with a top-of-theline camera. I’d rather not stand out in the crowd. If I’m shooting at a big fashion event in NYC, some of the fashion models have $20,000 cameras (their
toys that they don’t know how to use) hanging off their sides and there’s me with my $1600 camera that many consider inadequate. If I was making $50,000 for my day’s work, then I might consider owning the $20,000 beast. But you’re lucky if these things last four or five years. It’s easier to replace a $1600 camera every four years. People who confuse bigger gear with professionalism are often the ones with their cameras set on “burst” or bracketing mode, taking several photos with each click of the shutter button, hoping beyond hope that they’ll, by chance, capture a great photo. Why not simply get to know your camera inside and out and take one well composed and well lit shot every five minutes instead of several every second? As for having that super pro camera that does everything except braid your hair, I’ll point you in the direction of Vivian Maier (1926–2009) and Arthur (Weegee) Fellig (1899–1968). They were getting their stunning street shots with equipment that was superb in its era, but would be considered ancient relics today. So, which camera to buy? Do you want to be a street photographer? As mentioned, the Fuji XT-1 is as good as you can get for street. Remember, on the street, smaller is

put a shine to his Sunday boots. He removed from inside, the piece of rubber, and a baking powder tin that had holes punched in the bottom, which he would use to scrape the spot where the rubber would go, when it was cut into the right size for a patch to be glued on to the galoshes or gum rubbers he was working on. I tried not to look at the galoshes on the floor beside him. These were the very same galoshes Father had tried to patch a couple weeks before Christmas. The memory of that night was one I would be a long time erasing from my mind. I thought as the winter wore on, I might be able to forget that night, but I couldn’t. I had seen the beautiful doll one day in the dime store, and I could talk of nothing else when I got home. I even wrote Santa a letter asking if he might consider putting the doll under our Christmas tree. That night, as I raved on about the doll, and said how much I longed for it, it was then Father held up Mother’s worn galoshes and said, if Santa had any heart he would bring new galoshes for Mother. And then, like a miracle the doll had appeared that Christmas morning under the tree. And there were no new galoshes for Mother. And now, every time I watched Father working on our galoshes and rubber boots, hoping to get a bit more wear out of them by gluing on rubber patches, my mind reeled back to that fateful night when I begged for the doll. I thought, if I didn’t watch Father, maybe I could forget about the sacrifice that was made, and stop wondering how Santa knew about that beautiful doll, and how it ended up under our tree. And as the winter wore on, Mother wore those old galoshes, patches on top of patches and there was never enough money to replace them. So I got to praying. I prayed that it would be a short winter, that the patches would hold onto the galoshes, and I even prayed that I would stop fretting about how Santa brought me the doll and no new galoshes for Mother. And that night, as I watched Father once again try to repair what looked
to me beyond fixing, I wondered how much more wear Mother would get out of them, and how Renfrew County could possibly handle one more snow flake! Old Herman said it was the worst winter he had ever seen. Mother’s shoes fitted inside the galoshes, and there was a strip of tattered fur around their tops covering the laces down to the toes. I thought they were probably as old as I was. Certainly I had no memory of Mother ever buying them. And they were black...as black as night. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t stop watching Father working away at the galoshes. And then he reached into his back pocket and took out a pair of brand new black laces. They were wrapped in a red paper sleeve. He took out the old laces and worked in the new ones, tying a knot at the top. He was in his stockinged feet, and he put the galoshes on. I had no idea what he was going to do in Mother’s galoshes, when it was just about time to go to bed. And then, one after the other, he placed his foot on the wood sole on the shoe box, and rubbed black shoe polish all over the galoshes, covering the patches and all. He took a brush out of the shoe box, one I had seen him use many times on his Sunday boots, and with fierce strokes he brushed and brushed until I thought he would wear the rubber right down to the canvas that lined the galoshes. He held them up when he was finished, and they were as shiny as a fry pan, and looked like they had just come out of the store. “Good as new,” he said. And I wondered after, whenever I cradled that beautiful doll, how long it would take for me to release the feeling of sadness I felt whenever I looked at Mother’s galoshes, patch on top of patch.

Hail Caesar a messy but captivating character piece rector Laurence Laurentz (Ralph Fiennes) is having some difficulties turning western star Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich) into a dramatic actor. Gossip reporters Thora and Thessaly Thacker (Tilda Swinton) are hounding him, and his biggest star, Baird Whitlock (George Clooney), has been kidnapped from the set of the studio’s biggest picture. It’s absurd. It borders on insane, but that’s the movie business in the 1950s. Sometimes communists kidnap your big-
By Mark Haskins My Take
Hail Caesar is long, there’s no real point to any of it, and not much actually happens. The whole thing is kind of a mess, but it was my kind of mess. Eddie Mannix’s (Josh Brolin) job is to make sure the Capitol Pictures movie studio runs smoothly. He does everything from handle the press, babysit stars, make deals with other studios, keep directors
MOVIE: Hail Caesar STARRING: Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Scarlet Johansson, Alden Ehrenreich, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes and Channing Tatum DIRECTORS: Ethan Cohen and Joel Cohen RATING: PG gest star. It’s really just another day in the life of Eddie Mannix. I couldn’t say for sure, but it seemed to me the whole point of Hail Caesar was so the Cohen brothers could do an homage to 1950s movies. Apparently they had a real burning desire to shoot a synchronized swimming scene with Scarlet Johansson. They also seemed to really want to do a song and dance number with Channing Tatum. Then there was the western trick
