SHOW

Welcome to the 33rd Annual Kingston Home Builders Association Home and Renovation Show

Building a new home or renovating your existing home? There’s no better place to be this weekend, than at the Kingston Home Builders Association 33rd Annual Home and Renovation Show. Held at the Cataraqui Centre, the show features exhibitors showcasing many products & services. While some booths have participated in the show for decades, others are new this year. Shoppers can speak directly to professionals involved in many segments of the home and renovation industry. “It’s amazing that a volunteer organization can run a high quality show like this for 33 years,” noted Greg Newman, President of the Kingston Home Builders Association. “We have an excellent Show Committee that’s always trying to improve the Show. It’s important that both our participants and our valued patrons have a great experience”, he added. The Show is a great convenience to patrons, as it offers one stop shopping for product knowledge & quotes. Returning this year, is the KHBA Home Show Passport. “We’re delighted to have partnered with Marlin Travel Service Guaranteed to send a lucky couple to Las Vegas” says Newman. The Show area has been divided into six areas representing the six Las Vegas resorts. Patrons simply have their Passport validated by one vendor in each of the six resort areas (Excalibur, Caesars Palace, Venetian, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood & Monte Carlo). Completed Passports are dropped off at the Marlin Travel Service Guaranteed booth. The draw takes place Sunday at 4pm.

Passports are available to adults free of charge (limited to one per adult patron), and are available at all participating vendors. Returning to the Show this year is the “Home-in-One Grand Give Away” putting challenge. “This was a hugely successful family event last year. The community support was fabulous, with $1,500 donated to Almost Home”, says Newman. With any freewill donation to Kids Help Phone (www.kidshelpphone.ca), each participant gets three chances to sink a golf ball using a putter fashioned out of a hammer. One ballot is earned for every successful putt. The winner of the draw takes home $1,000, courtesy of BMO Financial Group. CRA tax receipts are provided for any donation over $10. Unlike other trade or home renovation shows, this show has no admission charge - it’s free. The show runs during mall hours: 9:30 a.m. – 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday. The Kingston Home Builders Association first met in the basement of a home in 1954 to discuss the possibility of beginning an association. In 2015, the association has become an important asset to the Kingston home building community with over 200 members. “We are an association that represents the interests of those in the home building industry, including developers” said Mason. “We work with the City of Kingston and Loyalist Township to ensure that [homebuilding] development is progressing in a positive way.” Members include new home builders, renovators, trades, suppliers, and professionals. “We host various events

Townships split three to one on using County planning services

and meeting attendance. Under the current model, which Gallivan also called a ‘community benefit model,’ there is no charge to the Townships, citizens, or developers on day-to-day planning issues, including meeting attendance, consultation and telephone inquiries. All privately initiated applications (minor variance, severances, rezoning) are charged for the time involved in the preparation of planning reports and any additional peer review work that may need to be completed. Also, there is no charge for policy planning work for the Townships such as Official Plan updates, Zoning Bylaw updates or major planning studies (growth management, agricultural assessment, municipal capital facilities bylaw). Coun. Ron Vandewal, South Frontenac’s Mayor, wasn’t happy about the concept. “If I’m asking for a service, I should be paying for it,” he said. “What if South Frontenac wants IT services, should that be free too?” “Back when this first came up, we suggested a $10,000 fee for each township involved,” said Coun. John McDougall. “We were looking down the road at other shared services. “But if full cost-recovery is too expensive, maybe we could look at a flat-fee model that recognizes the different requirements and resources of each township.” “We (Central) went into this on the basis that it wouldn’t cost us more,” said Dep. Warden Frances Smith, Central’s Mayor.

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Three townships in Frontenac County continue to use the County planner for the majority of their planning services, but one, South Frontenac, does not. South has its own planning department and has since amalgamation. So it should come as no surprise that the arrangement was still a source of irritation for the South Frontenac representatives at the regular Frontenac County Council meeting last week in Glenburnie. Frontenac Islands was the first Township to use the County planner, beginning in October of 2011. Central Frontenac followed in January 2014 and North Frontenac in May of 2014. In his report, County Planner Joe Gallivan presented last week’s meeting with seven possible options ranging from no shared services to a regional planning board. “The purpose of this report is to provide County Council with a variety of options to consider for implementing a planning services cost model prior to the start of 2015 budget deliberations,” Gallivan said. However, it was clear from the start of the presentation that the three Townships currently using the service wanted to remain with the status quo, which is referred to as an Incremental Cost Model, whereas South Frontenac preferred something closer to a Gazette Events – In what’s become an annual tradition, trappers camp reinactors Mike Proctor, Bob Flat Fee Model, wherein Townships receivMiller and Ray Fletcher fired off a musket volley to signal the beginning of the Frontenac Heritage ing services would pay an annual retainer to the County to cover general costs such as reFestival.

Frontenac County passes 2015 budget with 3.48 per cent increase By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — With very little fanfare and even less discussion, Frontenac County passed its 2015 budget bylaw at its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie The budget features a 3.48 per cent levy increase, which includes a 3.30 operating levy increase and a 0.18 per cent increase for new capital requirements. The budget also includes a transfer of $43,215 from the Stabilization Reserve. The increase means that on each $100,000 of property assessment, the County portion of taxes will be $177.85, which represents an increase of $5.93 over 2014’s $171.92. The County also passed a bylaw authorizing the transfer of any surplus or deficit from the 2014 budget actuals to the Reserve for Capital Replacement. ••• County Council approved a project whereby the paramedic service will receive a new, smaller ambulance which Paramedic Chief Paul Charbonneau said will not only cut emissions and gas consumption but also include new features such as asset tracking for equipment such as defibrillators, first response kits, and spinal boards and features loading and unloading equipment that “requires virtually no physical strength.â€? It also includes an electronic lift cycle count for maintenance and new lighting for night-time

operations. Charbonneau said the County’s portion of the vehicle cost will come from FPS Vehicle Replacement Reserve and have no impact on the 2015 levy. The new vehicle is about 1,800 pounds lighter than the current vehicles which Charbonneau estimated will result in a 12 to 18 per cent reduction in fuel requirments. ••• Coun. Ron Higgins gave notice of motion that he’d like to requisition a study for policing and fire services in Frontenac County. “The paramedics shared service works very well,â€? Higgins said. “I think we can probably do something similar with other protective services.â€? ••• Frontenac County is looking at a Paramedic Mental Wellness Program. Vince Savoia, executive director of the Tema Conter Memorial Trust and a trainer with the Canadian Mental Health Association, gave a presentation to Council recommending a four-pronged approach including Prevention, Maintenance and Support, Recovery and Evaluation. In her report to Council, human resources manager Colleen Hickey said they’ve already begun the program with training of each paramedic in Critical Incident Stress Awareness and Confrontation Management. She said the next focus should be on maintenance and support, with a skilled professional who specializes in Compassion Fatigue.

4 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, February 26, 2015

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — South Frontenac passed its 2015 budget at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham resulting in an increase of 2 per cent over last year’s budget. This means that $15,501,789 is to be raised by taxation. The result is about $25.11 more in taxes on the average phased-in property. In getting the budget down to Council’s target of a 2 per cent increase, Treasurer Louise Fragnito said fire hall value in the capital budget was amended to $1,000,000 from $2,200,000, the addition of a Fire Master Plan in the capital budget would be funded from reserves in the amount of $30,000, only one backhoe would be replaced in the 2015 Public Works budget and the other moved up to 2016 and a further $1,000 reduction in the budget was achieved under the “clerk’s professional consulting.” The final impact to taxpayers will likely be higher because Frontenac County approved a 3.48 per cent increase to its budget. However, Fragnito said “Municipal Affairs doesn’t have any sense of the education levy yet.” “I think it worked out well,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “We achieved pretty much what we wanted to.” In 2015, South Frontenac expects revenue in the amount of $11,691,039 (from government grants, user fees, permits, etc), an increase of 9.32 per over 2014. It expects to have expenses in the amount of $27,192,828

leaving $15,501,789 to be raised by taxation. ••• South Frontenac approved a roads maintenance agreement with Rideau Lakes Township, essentially putting down on paper something that’s been going on for years anyways. “It’s actually pretty neat when it’s all defined who does what,” said Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth. “It’s always been a benefit for us. “For example, the Chaffey’s Locks bridge is working out well for us and even though the actual stretch we’re responsible for is a little longer than what we were doing, it works out because we don’t have to deal with McAndrews Road.” Coun. Ross Sutherland asked about insurance liabilities when one township maintains and plows a stretch of road actually owned by another Township. “Ultimately, everybody’s responsible for what they’re responsible for,” Segsworth said. “The lawyers have it worked out and if anything happens, everybody will get named anyway. “In the case of a mailbox getting taken out by a plow, I think Rideau Lakes website says to call us.” The agreement is in effect both winter and summer. ••• Council also approved a plan whereby Harris Park Hall in Perth Road Village could be used as a short-term evacuation site in the event nearby Brooks Landing Retirement Living needs to evacuate its 13 residents and up to 15 staff.

$6 MILLION NEEDED FOR SECOND MRI AT KGH

O

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.

Former Library Board rep has issues with the way the County is treated appointees from the City of Kingston. Cousineau said she had three concerns she would like the current appointees to be aware of, and “hopefully resolve� during the present term. “Unilateral closures of County branches by Kingston board members are still possible,� she said. “There are no board policies, regulations or procedures to ensure that County priorities or concerns about our library service, programs or

John McDougall. “We ran into that with the homelessness committee.� “With eight of the 11 representatives coming from the City, you have credibility issues right from the start,� said Coun. John Inglis. “You have to be careful what you ask for,� said Vandewal. “For example, do we want City representatives for all things, such as the paramedic services?� “I’d like to see us provide direction for Coun. Vandewal,� said Coun. Ron Higgins. “Also, I’d like to suggest we review our library commitments.� “I think it’s important for Coun. Vandewal to meet with the two community representatives regularly,� said Cousineau.

In Our Opinion

Family Day not a holiday for all

Newspaper journalist gets a promotion, we’re not the worst job out there any more, we’re No. 2 Craig Bakay Reporter

It is true that you don’t get paid all that well (even at a larger daily there aren’t any sunshine listers except maybe in upper management). It’s also true that the employment outlook isn’t rosy, especially for rookies as us old farts who still have a job are tending to hang on to them. And yes, there is a lot of stress. It’s why the clichĂŠ of a chain-smoking, broke, divorced alcoholic who’s cranky all the time isn’t that big of a stretch. And working environment, well, sometimes it’s OK, sometimes it’s a drag. If they send you to watch a hockey game, it’s usually not bad at all. But sometimes they send you where people are shooting, which isn’t the greatest work environment. As far as the stress thing, I always thought StarPhoenix Managing Editor Steve Gibb summed that up best. “Deadlines are addicting,â€? Gibber said. And damn, if he wasn’t bang on. Adrenaline is a drug like any other and there isn’t a more exciting place to be than a newsroom when there’s a big story (like an election, or a Gulf War) breaking out there. You get to need the feed on a nightly basis and that probably explains the burnout. And did we mention that you’re alVice President ways broke?& Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca So, there must be something that keeps

Gazette Column — Workopolis just released its annual list of the worst jobs for 2014 and guess what, Newspaper Reporter isn’t the worst job anymore. It’s now only the second-worst job being edged out by lumberjack after a couple of years wedged into the bottom spot. Rounding out the top 10 list or worst jobs are military personnel, taxi driver, broadcaster, head cook, flight attendant, garbage collector, firefighter and corrections officer. By contrast, the top 10 best jobs are (1-10) mathematician, university professor, statistician, actuary, audiologist, dental hygienist, software engineer, computer systems analyst, occupational therapist and speech pathologist. The four criteria used by CareerCast to comprise the lists include: working environment, income level, employment outlook and stress. So, of course, the obvious question is why would anyone do this crappy job?

some of us doing this. Turns out there is, several things actually. For one thing, there’s the sense that our work will be around long after we’re gone. Some day, some student or researcher is going to look up one of our stories for some project. Newspaper journalists are the chroniclers of our communities. That one keeps me going a lot. Second, there’s that watchdog-role-ofthe-press thing. Now we don’t regularly catch anybody with a hand in the cookie jar but I like to think that just knowing that we’re out there watching keeps a lot of politicians and bureaucrats from getting too many ideas. Not that I’m accusing anybody of anything but people are human. Third, you do get to meet a lot of interesting people and celebrities. My favourite interviews over the years include Yvan Cournoyer, John Hammond, Ralph Klein, Dick Butkus and Ferguson Jenkins. But I guess when it comes down to it, my son explained it to me just the other day why I do. He said: “Dad, you love your science and isn’t science asking questions and compiling data and information?

8 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, February 26, 2015

Gazette Editorial – We suspect that most of us who were fortunate enough to have the day off on Feb. 16 appreciate the mid-winter break provided by Family Day. But there’s something about the name of that public holiday that seems a bit odd given the circumstances in which many people find themselves in Ontario and certain other provinces on the third Monday of February. There are a lot of federal public servants and retail sector workers who were on the job; Monday was not a holiday for them. Although Remembrance Day is a holiday for the feds and not for most others in the labour force, we have to wonder why the intent of Family Day does not apply across the board to all in the public and private sectors. “Ontarians work very hard and they deserve more time to spend with the people they love,â€? a Ministry of Labour answer sheet states. But what about all the people who do not have the luxury of making it a three-day weekend? Don’t they work hard and deserve time with their loved ones too? It’s as if there are two classes of family in Ontario: one that gets the holiday and the other that does not. We realize that there are always going to be people who have to work on statutory holidays, but seven years after re-elected premier Dalton McGuinty actually made good on his campaign pledge to add the February holiday we are still wondering just how family-friendly it is for the hundreds of thousands of Ontarians who might also welcome a chance to take a break but do not have the privilege of doing so. When it comes to public holidays, both days – Family and Remembrance – should apply equally to as many workers in all sectors as is possible. We know that will probably never happen, but federal government employees and the folks who work in stores should have just as much access to family time as the rest of us.

Family Day in South Frontenac

CANADIAN

Gazette Events – A good proportion of the Township turned out to the Frontenac Arena on Family Day as Council put on a day of skating, games and barbecue. Kids of all ages, including Pat Rivet and Deni Lavers tried their hand at snowshoeing and other activities.

Kingston gymnasts shine in the sunny south By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Sports - A trip to Orlando, Florida probably sounds pretty good to most Kingstonians at this time of year, and for a group of gymnasts from Trillium Gymnastics Club it was particularly sweet. Fourteen local gymnasts aged nine to 15 took part in the international competition Magical Classic Feb. 13-14 and many placed very well. The Level 7 team, consisting of Jesse Weaver, Amanda Black, Clare Stafford and Ella MacPhail placed first overall - a pretty impressive accomplishment considering over 1,800 kids from a number of different countries participated in the competition. “It was a great experience,� says head coach Shelley Lee. “They work really hard and they train a lot of hours in the gym, so to take them to an international competition and have them place first all around was a great feeling.� Several of the gymnasts also did well in the individual competitions, including Jesse Weaver, first overall in Level 7, age 13; Ella MacPhail, first overall in (Left to Right) Coach Kelli Gregory, gymnast Clare Level 7, age 14-15; Sydney Campbell, Stafford, Ella MacPhail, Jesse Weaver, Amanda Black third overall in Level 5, age 13; and coach Shelley Lee. Photo/submitted Clare Stafford, third overall in Level 7,

age 14-15. So what does it take to shine at an event like this? “It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of determination, a lot of skill development, a great deal of practice and the girls had been working very, very hard,� Lee says. “They were extremely excited to have been given the opportunity to compete at such a prestigious meet.� She adds that she wasn’t exactly surprised the girls saw so much success. “They’re a good group of girls, a very talented group of girls, and they’ve been working really hard on hitting their positions and hitting their skills and showing maximum amplitude. So it was just kind of a matter of time as to when they would actually hit, and they

hit at the right time.� The experience was quite beneficial for the coaches, too: “It was great professional development because Ontario has just started a new system, which the States has been on for many, many years called the JO (Junior Olympic compulsory program) system, so it was a great opportunity for these girls to go compete in that country,� says Lee. And of course, the group also had some time to relax while in Florida. “It was for six days, so there were two days of travelling, two days of competing, and then we did take them shopping and we took them to Magic Kingdom,� Lee says. “It was a lot of fun.�

Supporting our Troops – Care Packages By Stephanie Van Der Pryt

I am a proud military wife and mother of three beautiful children. My husband has been in the military for thirty plus years and on tour a few times.... I’ve had the pleasure of volunteering and working with the military community for a few years now and met many wonderful people, many who are lifelong friends. These friendships are very important for Military spouses, because many of the soldiers are away from their families and loved ones for weeks and sometimes months at a time. When speaking with the soldiers, they pointed out how much it means to them to receive goodies from back home. We may not know them personally, they may not know us, but to know someone is thinking about them; makes a difference. I often wonder how my family and I can support the soldiers who are deployed. I found the answer through speaking with some of the soldiers and through inspiration from another military spouse, Kim Mills. Kim is a very supportive military spouse and works hard to support the troops through many volunteer efforts, including putting together care packages. I decided to call St. Martha Catho-

lic School, where our children attend, and was invited by the principal to come in during “I Care� week. What a perfect time to talk to the school kids and their teachers about the troops. What a perfect time to put together some care packages for them! I met with a Grade 1 class, Grade 3/4 class and a Grade 5 class – a great bunch of wonderful and caring children. I talked to them a bit about why I was there and the importance of supporting military families. I didn’t have to say much, because within minutes I had hands waving and all kinds of stories coming my way. Approximately half of the kids I spoke to that day had a Mom, Dad or family member in the military and some were currently deployed. After seeing the amazing cards, thank you letters, St. Patrick’s day rainbow crafts and their very uniquely coloured hand made rainbow loom bracelets, I was almost tearful. These kids really get it and they really do appreciate what the Canadian Military is doing for them. Thank you to Holy Name of Jesus Parish for your generous donation to buy hockey jerseys, maple syrup and Tim Horton’s Coffee to send to the troops. As well, thank you to Tim Hortons, the KMFRC and PSP for some free items they included in our package, and to the Puxty family.

Every time I think of the students and all of the people that think about our soldiers, it puts a smile on my face. I hope the soldiers know how

much we all think about them and their families. I look forward to them receiving their care packages as I am sure it will bring a smile to them as

To Boldly Go Where No Children’s Thrift Sale Has Gone Before... By Rita Fairweather

Business and Advertising Coordinator

The Children’s Thrift Sale is celebrating its 25th Bi-annual Sale Saturday, April 18th, 2015 between 8:00 am- 12:00 pm at the Thompson Drill Hall. The history of how this sale has grown in popularity, sales and satisfaction is astonishing! It began with group of military wives gathering weekly at the Kingston Military Family Resource Centre (KMFRC) to enjoy coffee and conversation while their children would attend “play group”. They organized the first Children’s Thrift Sale in a small room in the basement of the KMFRC in the spring of 2003. They could not have predicted the amount of stuff they sold in only a few hours and the interest it created, as more families wanted to be part of this sale. Every military family knows the stress of de-cluttering the many infant and children’s items that you accumulate in a few short years. The Children’s Thrift Sale helps military families with young children organize and sell these items prior to receiving their posting message. It also benefits other young military and community families when they are looking to purchase gently used or brand new children’s items.

The group of military wives were onto something big, but it was unbelievable how popular and large the sale grew in the first few years. With more families wanting to join as vendors and the large number of customers who attended the event, the sale quickly “out-grew” the space at the KMFRC. By 2005 it moved to its present location at the Thompson Drill Hall. The military wives saw the sale as a way to give back. The proceeds raised from the sale could be donated back to the KMFRC Child and Youth Programs to purchase new toys and books for the children. The ongoing partnership between the KMFRC and the Children’s Thrift Sale continues to this day. A donation back to the KMFRC continues to support Military families at CFB Kingston. A committee was created in the early years to manage the duties required to plan and execute a successful sale. The sale has survived a change-over in committee members, with each new member coming with new ideas and abilities. To remain self-sufficient, the Children’s Thrift Sale Committee partners with local family and child focused businesses. For a small fee they can advertise their business on the Children’s Thrift Sale website and promote their business at our

sale. Come check out our sponsorship table! To manage the high volume of items sold, the development of an electronic data base using a sophisticated excel program was necessary. It provides cashiers with the ability to record vendor sales and custom-

What’s the Difference Between a Military and Civilian Family? By an experienced Military spouse

According to Statistics Canada, there are 9,389,700 families in Canada. We come from all walks of life, have diversiďŹ ed careers, and are ethnically diverse. So what sets a Canadian Armed Forces family apart from other Canadian families? Three words: • Mobility • Risk • Separation Mobility DeďŹ ned The Military lifestyle combines three aspects that very few other career paths incorporate. As a Military family, moving from community to community is a way of life. Although the tempo has slowed signiďŹ cantly over the past couple years, moving is still a main family stressor. Separation DeďŹ ned The second stressor, in no particular order, is separation. Military members are away from their families on training, exercises or deployment for weeks and often months at a time. In addition to the stress of being apart, there is an enhanced stress at the beginning and end of a period of separation. Risk DeďŹ ned And ďŹ nally, a career in the Military comes with the inherent risk of serious injury or death. One Military spouse’s story summed up the difference between Military and civilian lifestyle perfectly. She said, “In my husband’s wedding vows, he promised me that he would not be with me for the most difďŹ cult moments, hardships, and even celebrations. He promised that I would always feel that something would take precedence over me. “ “From our time together, I already knew this would be true. He has missed our son’s ďŹ rst birthday, funerals,

and moments when I needed him most. I am not unique or unusual. Our lives are normal for a military family. “ “For most of us, we move a lot. Our children were probably born in different provinces or even different countries. They will most likely not attend the same school and have the same friends throughout their childhood. “ “Our Military member is often away, leaving one of us to play the role of Mom and Dad. If we don’t have children, we are often alone. Our biological families are probably nowhere near us, so we learn to make friendships everywhere we go and adapt to new environments. We make friends who truly become our family.â€? “We are constantly aware of the risk of our lifestyle. We know that our loved ones could be sent anywhere in the world at any time. For many of us, it has happened several times and we know the next time could be just around the corner. We also know that they may not come home at all.â€? “My husband also promised me in his wedding vows that everything he does will be for me and for our children. He promised that he will see the faces of our children in every life he protects. As Military families, we live a life of sacriďŹ ce. Sometimes we see the bigger picture and the greater good and sometimes we feel angry, hurt, and want a “normalâ€? life. But we are proud of those who serve in our family, whether they are our husbands, wives, partners, mothers, fathers, sons, or daughters. We are proud of their dedication and their strength. We are strong, resilient, and exible. We are independent, adaptable and we hold down the home front. We are the strength behind the uniform and we’re very proud of our Canadian Military.â€?

We are honoured to serve our military families.

How to GET REC’d and re-build a social network By Tina (Tight E. Whitey)

A big part of the military lifestyle is moving from one city to another every few years. This lifestyle has its advantages and disadvantages. On one side, you get to see the vastness of our beautiful country, meet new people, experience new cultures and build friendships that can last a lifetime. For some, this lifestyle will

include living abroad. On the other side, every few years you find yourself having to rebuild your support network. Anyone with kids will tell you, it takes a community to raise a child. Connections like babysitters, dog-walkers, play groups, emergency childcare and close friends are continually changing it seems. Thankfully, within every city, there

Thank You

are social groups that help with the process of rebuilding new social circles and contact networks. One such group you may not have heard about in Kingston is the Kingston REC’n Rollers, Kingston’s recreational roller derby league. This action-loving group of ladies is all about fun, fitness and friendships. They are lowcommitment, and understand their players have a life outside the derby track; there is no mandatory committee work required, but everyone is invited to participate where their time and tal-

ents work best. Every week during the winter months, the ladies get together once in the KMFRC gym to practice their skating skills, then again at JR’s Mess for off-skate workouts. Not only are they building their athletic abilities, but they are also working to build friendships, squeak some (fun) fitness into their busy weeks, and learn to bond and work as a team before the bouting season arrives in the spring. A typical practice runs 90 minutes, 75 of which are on their skates. For off-skate fun the ladies take on belly dancing, belly fit, yoga, bodyweight workouts and league meetings to plan their upcom-

ing seasons. But, isn’t roller derby a full-contact sport? Why, yes, it is! Don’t despair if you’re a bit shy on the contact component; the REC’n Rollers have two teams for you to choose from come bouting season! The wRECking Belles play a modified, lowcontact version of the game, while the RECkless Mavens are their fullcontact team. Both teams require a minimum skills test be passed by all skaters in order to play against another team. Safety first! Well, after fun, friendship and fitness, that is‌ Want to get involved, but don’t want to play roller derby? The REC’n Rollers are always happy to put people to work for them! Whether it be reffing scrimmages or games (on skate role), running the penalty box, keeping score, noting penalties, or running a training session there are LOTS of volunteer opportunities within this group of fun-loving ladies. Oh, and men are more than welcome to help out in any of these volunteer roles. You can find the Kingston REC’n Rollers on Facebook.com/Kingston RECnRollers, or you can email them at kingstonrollers@gmail.com for more information about practices and how to get involved.

Supporting the troops: Real estate agent gives back to Kingston’s military community By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca Gazette News - Military tradition runs deep in the blood of local real estate agent John Price. While he decided against following in the footsteps of his father and two grandfathers by embarking on a career in the Canadian Forces – “I couldn’t go a college where there were no girls,â€? he jokes about his decision not to attend RMC – Price maintains very close ties with the local military community in Kingston. “After 27 years of real estate, I’ve been very successful. I’ve had the honour of working with a lot of military people and helping with their houses.â€? Price explains that it’s always been important to him and his wife and business partner, Heather, to give back to the community. “Every year we were dividing our money between a lot of good charities‌and I said why don’t we focus on one charity and let’s make a big impact. The military was what I was most passionate about.â€? Over the last several years, Price has donated and helped to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the Kingston Military Family Resource Centre (KMFRC). He also donates 14 tickets for each Kingston Frontenacs game to military families, and organizes the two annual Kingston Frontenacs military appreciation games (one early in the year and one near Remembrance Day), at which the local team dons cadpat jerseys in honour of Kingston’s military community; those with

military ID are also offered a discount on tickets to the games. Price’s contributions are so significant that he was named honorary director of fundraising at KMFRC. In this role, he’s helping to create a new fund that will assist service members and their families with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); this will be the first program of its kind in Ontario. “When many of our great soldiers

come back from theatre, some of them have a hard time [adjusting] and it affects not only that military personnel but also the families,� Price says, explaining that there has been a high number of military suicides over the last two years. “We’d like to have a fund there so that we can provide resources and aid, be it social or psychological or whatever way that we can help.� He says that if the program works

well, it could expand throughout the province and country. A long time family friend by the name Don Cherry is often by Price’s side at events supporting the military. “My whole life I grew up calling Don my uncle,� he explains. “He’s not my biological uncle, but he happens

to be my father’s best friend.� Price coordinates a steady pipeline of hockey sticks, posters and more between KMFRC and his father’s house. Continued on page 19 R0013147797_0226

Supporting the troops: Real estate agent gives back to Kingston’s military community “We drop them off at my dad’s and when Don arrives every couple of months he signs things. No one can argue about the passion he has towards the military. He’s one of the number one faces for thanking the military.� Price is currently in the process of helping to create a Don Cherry Legacy Fund, which will be supported largely by a major annual concert. “The proceeds of the profits made from that will probably be going to the KMFRC and some of it will go to the International Hockey Hall of Fame, because Don Cherry is close to that as well.�

John Price with Don Cherry

For all the work they do for the local military community, it comes as no surprise that John and Heather Price are on the “A+ listâ€? with top brass at CFB Kingston and RMC, and get invited to all the all the major events (changes of command, etc.) that take place. “It adds up to 30 or 40 invitations a year,â€? he says. “We’re really honoured to be able to go there and participate and sort of represent the citizens of Kingston.â€? Indeed, Base Commander Col. F.J Chagnon also describes Price as an important link between the military community and the wider Kingston community. “I’ve always seen Kingston as a community that truly supports, rain or shine, their military community, and John reinforces that on a regular basisâ€? he says. “He does this out of the goodness of his heart with the support of his wife Heather. There’s never any expectation of anything in return for all this, he really does it because he truly believes in it. From a base commander’s perspective that’s truly appreciated.â€? The next Kingston Frontenacs military appreciation game, called Salute the Troops: Past and Present, will be held Friday, March 6 at the K-Rock Centre. A very special guest, Minister of Veteran Affairs Erin O’Toole, will be in attendance. “It was such a success last year with all the military in uniform, coming out after the game on the ice to have a picture with the Kingston Frontenacs who are wearing their cadpat uniforms,â€? Price notes. He adds that “Kingston has such a rich, historic, connection with the military. That’s how Kingston was founded‌We have a great relationship with all the families that we call our friends that are here only for three of four years. It’s kind of nice to strengthen the bond.â€?

STANDING IN OUR FIELD

The origin of the onion By: Aric McBay Columnist

Out Standing in our Field - I’ll be honest with you; as a kid, I would spit out any onion I tasted. At first I hated the flavour, but I came to hate the idea of onions. Inform my sixyear-old self that there was onion in a meal, and you’d ensure in one sentence I would not take another bite. I’m telling you this so that you know I was not easily won over to the side of the onion. Only when I became a teenage vegan (much to the surprise of my parents, since I had little interest in vegetables in general) did I come to appreciate the onion. Teenagers are notorious for being hungry, and without animal products my palate necessarily broadened. As an adult became I a farmer and, with my new perspective on the food system, omnivorous. So my childhood self would be shocked that not only do I appreciate onions, I actually spend much of my time growing them along with other vegetables. In fact, butter-fried onions are a favourite side-dish in our household.

My farming ancestors a thousand years ago, on the other hand, never had any doubt about the importance of the onion. Onions have been prized since they were first domesticated in Eurasia 7,000 years ago. In medieval times, onions were considered valuable enough that you could reputedly pay your rent with them. Or you might give them as a wedding gift (since onions were thought to increase fertility and libido). Peasants would have appreciated the onion’s culinary attributes, to be sure. Its health benefits were widely known, useful in treating any number of ailments. But they would be won over by the onion’s excellent agricultural qualities. The sharp, sulfur-rich compounds I hated when I was small make onions relatively resistant to disease in the field, and help them last longer in storage. For these reasons, the onion was a staple crop in Europe until it was displaced (in Ireland, most famously) by the potato. But why? When potatoes and other crops like tomatoes and peppers were brought to Europe from the Americas, farmers viewed them with suspicion. Pota-

toes are members of the nightshade family, which was better known in Europe for poisonous species like belladonna (deadly nightshade). What made the Irish give up their favoured staple for a strange foreign crop? The answer is simple: poverty. The potato was brought back to Europe while the nautical powers like Spain and Britain were bloodily expanding their empires around the world. In reward for military service abroad, British soldiers were given farms, which had been forcibly confiscated from the Irish peasantry. Irish people were pushed to the margins and forced to pay absentee landlords. The potato’s appeal grew. The storage onion, for all its benefits, is not as fast to reproduce. It’s a biennial, taking two seasons to make seed. The onion you buy at the store has been

the world. And rightly so. Just frying up an onion is enough to fill a house with savoury smells and give the impression that dinner is well on its way. Alas, it is a rare landlord these days who will accept a bushel of onions on the first of the month. But next time you go to a wedding do consider, if just for a moment, bringing the lucky couple an onion. Aric McBay is a farmer and author.

grown for only one season—if you want to get seed from it, you have to plant that onion again and let it flower. If you are poor and hungry, perhaps you can’t afford to wait that long. The potato is ready to regrow itself every spring, no waiting. And all you really need is the eye of the potato—you can eat most of a potato and still plant it. But the potato didn’t have the same disease resistance or genetic diversity as the sharp-flavoured onion; hence the eventual Irish Potato Famine. Though not longer an agricultural staple in Europe, the onion remains a culinary essential around

Ice house played pivotal role on the farm

Your

The sawdust was clean and fluffy and gave off the most wonderful smell of freshly sawn wood, which of course it was. Father would check the roof to make sure it was tightly sealed and that no rain would get in. The roof slanted to the ground on one side so that the snow would slide off easily. It would never do to add moisture to the fresh sawdust before it had it came in contact with the ice. And then when the sawdust had all been moved inside, the door was shut tightly, and the wood slide lock put in place to keep everything dry until Father was ready to haul in the ice. And then the waiting game began. The winter, I used to think was half over before Father was able to bring in the blocks of ice from the Bonnecherre River. The water had to be frozen solid and Father liked to take the blocks from the centre where it ran deepest and clearest. It was usually early January, or even into February, before Father thought the River was ready. And then when the cutting began, the blocks would be hauled up over the West Hill and across the fields to the little ice house. And one by one the entire floor would be covered with the blocks, weighing close to 100 pounds each, and then they too would be covered with the clean sawdust. And so it went, until the little house was full, each block wrapped in its winter cloak. The exercise was not to keep the ice frozen in the winter, the cold Renfrew temperatures looked after that, but to make sure that the ice would not melt over the long summer months ahead. And it was always like a miracle to me, that something as simple as covering the ice with sawdust would keep it as solid as if it had just come out of the Bonnecherre. But Father, when I would ask him to explain it to me would say, a lot of things had to match up. The ice house had to be light proof, and the door small, to let in as little warmth as possible when it was opened, and the building had to be on the north side of the barn. And all those things together kept the ice from melting. The ice house, Mother said, was the most important building on the farm, right up there in importance next to the chicken coop.

Gazette Column – The little black building on the north side of the barn had been ready since the Fall. To me, it always looked like it was about to topple over. And yet it was solid. It had no windows, and the only door was nothing more than a slit in one side, just wide enough to take a large block of ice and the body of the person sent out to get a block for the ice box. That was always my sister Audrey, or my oldest brother Everett, both of whom were considered big enough and capable of abiding by all the rules set down for going in and out of the ice house. That meant be quick about it, close the door behind you going in and coming out, and don’t forget to brush off as much sawdust off the block of ice as you can before lugging it into the house! The ice house was made ready by the Fall. For days the door was allowed to hang open, so that any remnants of the left over ice would melt and the building got a thorough chilling. My brothers would spend days shoveling out the wet sawdust and spreading it behind the silo where it rested until it rotted into nothingness. I could never understand why the sawdust couldn’t be used over and over again. But Father said the ice kept better with good dry sawdust, and besides, when the temperatures dipped way below zero, the clumps would freeze into hard and solid masses. By the last of October and into November, most of the sawing bees in the Northcote area would be over. Everyone’s wood was sitting in piles in the back yards, ready to be loaded into the summer kitchen for the long cold days and nights ahead. And beside the wood, where the saw had been, there were small piles of sawdust, but there was never enough to fill the icehouses. And so, every year after the harvest was done, and Fall was crisp in the air, Father and the brothers would make trips to the saw mill where the owner was more than glad to part with however much sawdust we wanted. The wagon with the flat bottom or the sleigh depending on if we had an early snowfall, would be hitched up with the team and the job of hauling the sawdust would begin. Load after load down the Northcote side road. Load it on, and then load it off. Piled outside the ice house the mountain grew higher and higher until Father thought there was enough to do the job. COACH & TOURS This would take days, and sometimes weeks before there was enough. And the job had to be done between the other farm chores, and when the brothers were off school. So it was usually done on a Saturday when every EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO hand could help.

Learning. She says she likes to play with colour. She also likes to play with kids and teaches art from Kindergarten to Grade 8 at Kingstown School. A Queen’s University graduate with Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degrees, Phoebe works primarily as a printmaker, but

has skills in drawing and installation art. She completed the Artist in Community Education (ACE) program at Queen’s. “During my fourth year at Queen’s, all my work was looking at imagination, kids and creativity and what happens to that sensitive curiosity. Creativity slowly disappears as you get older. All my work was about that.”

She heard about the Queen’s Artist in Community Education program, and it seemed like an ideal fit. “My mom’s a teacher and I knew that teaching was always an option for me. The arts aspect makes it applicable for me.” She says art was always in her life. Growing up, there was a crafts area in her home. But she wasn’t all artsy.

ENCHANTÉ

“I was doing printmaking. I didn’t want to learn to paint; I wasn’t patient enough.” That seems like an odd statement, considering her quiet and calm persona. So the creative fire burns beneath the surface for her. After she completed high school, she took a year off to decide what was next. “I had lots of options, but didn’t know what to do,” she says. “I thought, ‘What do I love?’ The thing I love is art. I hear people say that art isn’t a viable thing, but if you’re doing what you love, you figure out how to make it work. We don’t value arts education enough in our society.” She chose to move from southern Ontario to Kingston to attend Queen’s

Got Events?

University for her BFA degree. Along the way she met the man who would become her husband and settled in Kingston. As a professional artist, she says it bothers her when someone says they aren’t artistic or creative. “People are creative naturally,” she says. “We are creative beings. But if they don’t develop it, they don’t feel it.” She wants her art to be something that brings happiness to people. “What I think about the world is that I hope what I do can bring joy. I use bright colours. Lots of colour. It fascinates me. Sometimes I play with colour and nostalgia, getting back to that creative curiosity.” Last year, she was working three part-time jobs and needed to recapture her creative focus. She also serves as the President of Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre, which was moving to the new

Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. While working at Modern Fuel, she met fellow artist, Katharine Vingoe-Cram. Phoebe saw an opportunity to focus on her artistic calling. “I knew Katharine was looking for a studio spot. I applied [for a studio at the Tett] because I need to start making things again. My three jobs were all good and they involve things I’m good at, but there was that part of me that was feeling so heavy and locked in. I needed a space that wasn’t the kitchen table. I love the fact that I’m not working in isolation here. And I love hanging out with Katharine.” Phoebe and Katharine were selected to be part of the Tett community of artists. “I really like the communal working environment at the Tett,” she says. “When I was in the BFA, it was a small program. I knew everyone and their work. We fed off each other. It seems really good here [at the Tett]. It feels good.”

One of her current projects reflects her positive approach to life and art. She’s developing a print about things to be thankful for. “Being thankful is such a simple idea, but it can be so difficult to put into practice. It’s very grounding to be thankful.” That project is a reflection of her life and philosophy. “I think that art is so good for your spirit and your soul,” she says. “You can speak about the social aspects and all those things, but the reason we really need art is to remind us that we are human and yes the world is beautiful. There are things that are joyful and hopeful. We get lost in the day to day and need to breathe life back into the places that are hurting.” At the Tett, she hopes to expand her creative practice and apply to juried exhibitions again. “I want to refine my skills,” she says. “I want to settle into a groove.

of people you meet in this space, it’s really building up a network. When you’re at Queen’s, it’s hard to see Kingston as itself. Once you do, it’s like getting to know a friend, you see how great it is. There are all kinds of things going on in the arts community.” As for those who say they’re not creative, Phoebe says it’s something she sees in students all the time. “You have to encourage someone so the spark doesn’t disappear,” she says. “What I see in students is the product not coming out exactly the way they think is perfect. People want to be perfect. What I’d like to pass on is to help them problem solve. Being creative is so much about understanding what it means to be human. Being human is not such a bad thing. People don’t know what to do when they expect themselves to be perfect, but being human is a precious thing. If you’re working on something and it’s not working, just put it aside and come back to it later.” She gave an example from her own work. Last week, she got out a couple of prints she’d work on as an undergraduate student. They weren’t working out then and she put them away—apparently for quite a while. “I got them out to try to bring life back into them,” she says. “I feel lighter somehow now. I feel like this is the place where I can relax and get into the zone. I feel much more calm.” She is still the President of the Board of Directors at Modern Fuel and has two parttime jobs, but she’s feeding off her own creative spark again. “I’m surprised how relieved I was to start working and making things again. There’s an excitement and joy when I first carve something and make a print. I know I’ve made something.” She says she knows the best way to destress, especially at times when she’s so busy that she feels she doesn’t have time to breathe, is to create something. “And I play a lot of board games with my husband and house mates.” She smiles and says, “Grandma taught me cribbage when I was six.” Feel free to drop into the Tett Centre to meet Phoebe Cohoe in Studio 214B. It’s easy to feel the positive spirit after spending time with her. You can also find her on Twitter @phoebecohoe and check out her website, phoebecohoe.com. R0013135285
