Sharbot Lake man’s trip to visit friend in England goes horribly wrong By Craig Bakay
Gazette News — Sharbot Lake’s Curtis Jarvis met Savannah Cheetham while playing the online game Runescape. Cheetham lives near Brighton, West Sussex, UK. That was back in December. It wasn’t long before Jarvis, 34 and Cheetham, 21, realized they both suffer from social anxiety disorder and before long, they were Skyping and becoming friends. “He really helped me with my social anxiety,” she said. “We mutually needed to talk,” he said. “And we hit it off. “It was wonderful.” So, three months later, they decided to meet in real life. Jarvis, with a little over $500 Cdn in cash and credit card, and his very first passport, got on a plane heading across the Atlantic to Heathrow airport in London. Minutes after touchdown, Jarvis’s nightmare began. “I left on the 18th, 10:50 a.m. Canada time and arrived at 9:35 a.m. London time the next day,” Jarvis said. “It was my first time out Curtis Jarvis and Savannah Cheetham are together in Sharbot Lake after his harrying ordeal in Britain. Pho- of Canada.” Needless to say, Jarvis was unto/submitted
prepared for what happened next. “There was a card we were supposed to fill out but I didn’t have a pen,” he said. “It was my first time travelling and I didn’t know I’d need one.” After several attempts, he finally secured a pen and was then interviewed by an immigration agent. After he told them he was coming to visit a friend, he was told “we’ll have to do some digging on this.” He had to sit in a little room for over an hour, with no idea what was going on. “They took my passport,” he said. “My life was in their hands. “They told me it was all routine.” He threw up. His nose started to bleed and he was denied his medication for social anxiety disorder as well pain medication for a debilitating back injury. He was taken to “the airport prison” and it was nine hours before he was allowed to contact anybody. “I was in the jail with a Russian criminal,” he said. “I was scared.” The Heathrow officials managed to contact Cheetham.

South Frontenac councillor happy to see solar farm not approved By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Many in South Frontenac let out a sigh of relief on March 10, including Storrington District Councillor Ron Sleeth; the relief came as the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) released their latest round of approvals for large renewable energy projects. Residents in Inverary had been battling a proposed project in their area since last August and on March 10, it did not appear on the list of approved projects. “It is a huge relief for the residents,” said Sleeth. “The project was not approved by council and the community didn’t want it, so it was good news.” The proposed Large Renewable Project (LRP), known as Collins Lake Solar, would have been located on two properties in Inverary, bordered by Davidson Side Road to the north, Holmes Road to the south east, and Latimer Road to the west, with Perth Road running in between the two properties. Residents in the area met with the proponents of the project at a town hall in August last year and then held another town hall with Randy Hillier in December about their opposition to the project.
They were adamant that about the fact that they are not opposed to renewable energy projects, they just don’t want one in their backyard. “It was a very poor location,” said Sleeth. “It would have been on some good agricultural land and it would have significantly impacted the houses in the area, especially in terms of devaluing them.” Business owners and residents came together to sign petitions, hold meetings and get the word out about the project and its potential impact and Sleeth thinks their hard work paid off. “I think the community voices had an impact,” he said. “The people rallied everybody and came forward to council and I was very much in support of their position. I had said from the outset that we should not support it. It went forward in that regard and so I think it was a combination of both the people rallying and council’s position on it.” There were no comments made about non-approved projects and South Frontenac Council has not heard anything more about the project at this point. They also have not heard about two other solar projects that were proposed for South Frontenac that also did not get approved.
“The two other projects had been approved by council while
the third was opposed so we were a bit surprised,” said Sleeth. “We just thought that because of their location to a high-wattage transmission line they would be looked at favourably, but that is not the case.” The results show that municipal approval may have little
impact on the status of these projects, but Sleeth hopes that is not the case. “When the Minister of Energy was in Kingston, he made it clear that future proposals that come forward that don’t have the approval of the municipality will not be considered and that was great news for the municipality and the people,” said Sleeth. “We really hope that is actually the case going forward.” For now, Sleeth is just happy with the current decision and he hopes community members are too.

News — Central Frontenac Council endorsed South Frontenac’s plan to loan the Frontenac Arena Board $190,497.12 for capital work at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The arena board recently approached South Frontenac for the loan because although it has the funds to complete its capital projects, it can’t access them until September. By beginning the capital projects now, it can have everything done for the next hockey season. Central Frontenac owns and is responsible for 41 per cent of the arena, which is on the boundary road between the two townships in Piccadilly. Arena board Chair Brent Cameron said the loan will pay for two projects this year. “We have two compressors that are 40 years old that need to be replaced,” he said. “They were on borrowed time and use a lot of electricity. “Jim (former arena manager Stinson) did a lot of tinkering to keep them going for 40 years.” The other project is new LED lighting, which Cameron said should double the light in the arena. “And eventually we want to get more heating in the seating area but that will be done by fundraising,” he said. Cameron said there has been renewed interest and usage at the arena this year including a ball hockey league this summer. “And in January-February this year, we doubled our profit over last year,” Cameron said. •••
Central Frontenac added its voice to the Township of Minden Hills endorsing its resolution to have the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Service review and reconsider the new OPP Billing Model, reconsider assuming a larger portion of the overall OPP budget for all Ontario municipalities serviced by the OPP and perform an in-depth review of the current expenditures in order to reduce the cost per household. ••• Central Frontenac joined the other municipalities in Frontenac County by proclaiming April 3 to April 9 Accessibility Awareness Week. ••• The District 3 Rec Committee sent a letter to Council informing them that they have found a lockable 20-foot C-Can to house all the ball equipment and miscellaneous materials in the existing building on site. “This unit is being donated by CRS Brockville with the only possible charge being trucking,” said Chair Lesley Merrigan in the letter. “The have agreed that we can use this C-Can during the demo and construction of the rink. “We have also received a quote from Perth Portable toilets for the delivery and service of two porable toilets for use from May 1 to Sept. 1, 2016.” Costs for the C-Can would be about $250 and about $1,380 for the toilets. Council deferred any decision until Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven returns to comment on the proposal.

“They asked a lot of personal questions,” she said. “They said they were concerned about how much money he’d brought but we told them I have a job, my parents both have jobs and we were prepared to support him while he was here.” After nine hours, Cheetham’s father managed to contact the Canadian embassy and he was allowed to take some of his anxiety meds. Shortly after that, he was back on a plane to Canada. But now, several days later, their story begins to brighten. Cheetham came to Sharbot Lake and they’re looking forward to some quality time together, even though it snowed big time Tuesday night.
“I haven’t seen snow in three years,” she said. “And I love the maple syrup candy.” Still, they’re not likely to forget their ordeal at the hands of British immigration authorities. “Every time the door for international visitors opened, my heart just jumped,” she said. “I think the fact that they denied him his meds is just disgusting. “It broke my heart.” “It was a terrible first time experience,” he said. “I feel like the British government should pay for my next flight there.” And he does plan to return. “We’ve discussed it and just because I was treated badly is no reason not to visit her,” he said. “She’s worth it. “Only next time I’ll be better prepared.”

No concerns for auditors in Central Frontenac audit this year News — “The Frontenacs work very well,” said KPMG auditor Vicki Leakey while presenting Central Frontenac Township’s audited financial statements at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake. In 2015, the municipality reported consolidated revenues of $12.6 million, which represented a $1.48 million (14.4 per cent) increase from 2014, the auditor’s report said. “This is largely the result of $2.9 million received from the province to assist with capital infrastructure work,” the report said. “Thirty-nine per cent of your total revenue is government grants (up from 31 per cent in 2014),” Leakey said.
Property taxation accounted for 53 per cent or $6,658,858 in 2015. In 2014, property taxation was $6,457,009. Government and other municipal grants accounted for $4,933,659 in 2015, up from $3,434,864 in 2014. Penalties and interest on taxes, and user fees accounted for 6 per cent of revenues or $774,149 in 2015 as opposed to $778,639 in 2014. Investment income and other sources accounted for $236,380 (2 per cent of total) in 2014 as opposed to $38,490 in 2014. Expenses were down slightly in 2015 at $8,525,683 as opposed to $8,940,473 in 2014. Of that, transportation services took the biggest chunk at $4,217,726 ($4,696,447 in 2014) or 50 per cent.
For all your latest local news...
Policing and fire costs were 22 per cent of the total, at $1,850,232 in 2015 as opposed to $1,650,798 in 2014. General government accounted for 14 per cent of costs or $1,214,539 in 2015 as opposed to $1,233,617 in 2014. Recreation and cultural service costs (6 per cent of expenses) were down to $536,636 in 2015 as opposed to $571,793 in 2014. “The big story of the year is protection costs were up significantly, most of that for policing,” Leakey said. “Transportation costs were down because there were some savings on snow removal. “But there really wasn’t anything significant.” The Township is in a net debt position, suggesting the Township has financial capital purchases and

Gazette News — Frontenac County is looking at what to do with the ‘Old House’ administration building where the majority of administrative staff is housed in Glenburnie. At County Council’s regular meeting this month, CAO Kelly Pender presented a report citing 13 issues with the building (which was built in the early 1900s and renovated during the last Council’s term) including accessibility, noise, washrooms, staff working in public
“Of the approximately 16,300 square feet, only the first and second floors (9,300 square feet) are currently usable as office/meeting space,” Pender said. “For the 22 people working in the space, that equals about 420 square feet per person. “A typical architectural standard for office space is 175 to 250 square feet per person.” Other issues he presented for Council’s consideration include: • although the building does not have a heritage designation, there is heritage sentiment • the building is located in the City of Kingston . . . this has been

(possibly within the County). Council opted to have staff examine three options: renovate for washroom accessibility, improved reception and improved office productivity; move FPS to another facility (leased) and move current second floor operations to the current FPS space, repurposing the current second floor space; and convert the Old House to new use and add an addition to accommodate accessibility and productivity needs. “I think we should look at remodeling without any major changes,” said Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal. “The chances of us moving are slim. “The chances of us abandoning the building are slim.”

an issue in the past for some members of Council • while the administrative offices house the county administration and planning and economic development, the direct administration of Fairmount Home and Frontenac Paramedic Services (FPS) are located in the Fairmount facility • there may be financial advantages to moving FPS to leased space. This would have to be weighed against operational advantages of having senior staff located on the same site. Pender presented Council with eight options for the Old House ranging from ‘do nothing’ to complete decommission of the Old House and moving to a new site

Letter to the editor Dear editor, I would like to provide some clarifications for the recently published article “Rural mayors find they have a lot in common when it comes to the cost of things like policing” dated March 17, 2016. Under the current billing model, municipal prisoner transport costs have been allocated to municipalities policed by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) on a per property basis at an estimated rate of $2.20 per municipal property per year. The cost of court security and prisoner transportation is partially reimbursed to municipalities through the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services Court Security and Prisoner Transportation grant. In addition, a portion of the offender transport services is provided by special constables through the Offender Transportation Program (OTP). The cost of the services provided through the OTP is not included in municipal billing. Our OPP Auxiliary members number some 850. It is one of the largest policing volunteer groups in Ontario. Auxiliary Policing members perform volunteer duties across Ontario, including Eastern Ontario, that are related to community policing and crime prevention. They are members of communities all across Ontario that donate their time to make their communities better and safer. Auxiliary members are a valuable asset to the OPP service delivery model. Last year alone our Auxiliary members proudly volunteered almost 200,000 hours to their communities. However, as per s. 52 of the Police
Service Act, an auxiliary member cannot replace regular police officers or special constables and can only be authorized to perform police officer duties in special circumstances and/or emergency circumstances. We recognize and appreciate that municipalities across Canada are concerned about the cost of municipal services, including one that is as vital to community well-being as policing. The 2016 average annual per property policing cost is $352 per property for OPP policed communities. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Pay Council table as of December 31, 2015, the base salary of a first class OPP constable is $90,621, which is a ranking of 15th in comparison to the other Ontario police services. At a cost of less than a dollar a day, the average OPP policing services per property cost compare very favourably to other municipal police services in the province and will continue to do so in 2017 and beyond. We continue to proudly provide excellent policing services to 323 municipalities, including many rural municipalities in Eastern Ontario, some for over 100 years. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this clarification. Sincerely, M.M. (Marc) Bedard Superintendent Commander Municipal Policing Bureau Ontario Provincial Police

Editorial
In Our Opinion
Passing bylaws starting to become an afterthought with local councils Column — You know what? The current slate of elected ofďŹ cials in this county need to be sent to the principal’s ofďŹ ce for a good talking to. The reason? Their lackadaisical attitude to creating laws is getting a little on the “smarten-upâ€? side. Here are a couple of cases in point. At the last County Council meeting, nine bylaws were passed in a bunch and several of those were development approvals. At the last Central Frontenac meeting, two bylaws were passed but all three readings were done at the same time (actually the bylaws weren’t even read, just voted on and passed, and they were an OfďŹ cial Plan amendment and a Zoning amendment). Now, way back when, our forefathers put these rules and procedures together, and there was a reason making a new bylaw took some effort. You see, the root of ‘bylaw’ is ‘law.’ In other words, these decisions councils make are binding in a court
of law, every bit as binding as not being able to steal or commit vandalism (or libel somebody for that matter). Our forefathers wanted to make sure these laws were thought out, given every opportunity for scrutiny and hopefully corrected before they do more harm than good. Thus, they created a system whereby a bylaw had to be read and passed three times before it became law. It was a good system, replete with with the tried and true accumulation of checks and balances that modern democracies have proven effective. But, as with all good things, that system seems to be ending. Although it wasn’t that long ago that councils began passing a first and second reading of a bylaw together (first by having it read once and later doing away with that entirely) with absolutely no discussion and then maybe reading it for a ‘third’ time before passage. And each bylaw used to be passed separately, in order to provide a maximum opportunity for debate and consideration. But now councils act as if this, their most important covenant, is merely an annoyance to be dealt with in as quickly a fashion as possible.

Now proponents of this travesty will point to expediency of meetings, keeping them moving along at a regular pace. Hogwash. If County Council wanted to move things along, they’d dispense with the tedious committee “goodtimes-were-had-by-all� and “aren’twe-wonderful� reports from Council members. And while we’re on the subject, this new-this-term nonsense of having everybody stand up while the warden enters the meeting from the kitchen thing isn’t helping their case any either. All that’s missing is a recording of Pomp and Circumstance to return us to a feudal way of doing things. Now nobody’s saying a streamlined form of passage for the mandatory adjournment bylaw is all that dangerous and inappropriate, although there have been instances in the distant past where councilors would refuse to adjourn until an issue had been debated more. And God knows nobody wants meetings to drag on any longer than they have to. But if you’re going to cut corners, bulk passage of bylaws is a dangerous way to do it.

Seat belt stupidity
Editorial - It is 2016 and people are still dying because they didn’t wear their seat belt while driving. Really? Over the past five years (2011-2015), a total of 332 people have died in collisions on OPP-patrolled roads as a result of not wearing a seat belt. This number is surprisingly high, especially when you consider how easy it is to buckle up. These numbers are also shocking when you think about the evolution of cars. In newer models, seatbelts sensors are built in and in most cases, a loud beep will occur when one is not worn. Are all of these people just ignoring that beep? According to the numbers, there is also a difference between males and females when it comes to wearing a seat belt and males actually place far less importance on wearing a seat belt than females do. According to OPP data, 261 of the victims were males and 71 were females. “Our data suggests a strong presence of male drivers and male passengers who believe that they are at a lower risk of being involved in a collision than other people, and who do not see a need to wear a seat belt. This attitude works against our efforts to save lives on our roads,� says J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes, Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner. The OPP launched their Spring Seat Belt Campaign last weekend and while numbers have declined, they are still seeing an alarming number of people not wearing their seat belts. “Ontario’s roads are among the safest in North America and it is everyone’s responsibility to keep them that way,� said Hawkes. “Everyone knows that seat belts save lives so buckle up - it only takes a moment but can make all the difference. Do your part to help the dedicated OPP officers keep our roads safe for everyone this spring and throughout the year.�

Central Frontenac CIP expanded to include entire Township News — Central Frontenac Township still has $27,150 left in its Community Improvement Plan (CIP) fund and Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake to expand the boundaries of eligible projects to the entire Township. When the program began in 2012, Frontenac County anted up $70,000 with the Township kicking in an additional $10,000 annually. The initial program was earmarked for improvements in Sharbot Lake. It was the second such County initiative, the first being in Verona. The County has since launched similar initiatives in Marysville (Frontenac Islands) and Plevna (North Frontenac). North Frontenac recently decided to open up its fund to the entire township as well. The idea was for businesses and private residents to make improvements to their properties in the areas of beautification, accessibility, sig-
nage, business startups and/or façade facelifts. The CIP will fund 50 per cent of such projects with a limit of a $3,000 contribution for businesses or $1,500 for residences. There is also an interest-free loan program for facades, accessibility and business startups which can provide a maximum loan of $7,500 over five years. But things have been a little slow to develop in Sharbot Lake and an open house last September failed to draw much interest or feedback. Which is not to say nobody’s been interested. Planner Reid Shepherd told Council that, to date, there had been 10 projects requests for a total of $27,778 of which six have been completed ($16,128) and two which have been approved but not completed ($6,000). The two other requests were withdrawn. Five of the project requests were for accessibility enhancements (ie
retrofitting entranceways). None have Mayor Bill MacDonald. “Most buildbeen completed. Two project requests ing projects are in the $20,000 range, were for business startups, with one not $3,000.” being completed. There have also been “That may well be but the is only so three loan requests ($19,000) of which big,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “And one ($7,500) has been completed. it’s supposed to be an incentive only.” Shepherd presented Council with “I’d like to see the program extendfour options: do nothing (ie continue ed to all the hamlets,” said Coun. Tom on as originally planned), expand to Dewey. other hamlets (like Arden, Parham, “We have lots of businesses outside Mountain Grove), extend the program along the Road 38 and/or Hwy 7 corridors and expand to the entire Township. Council debated various aspects of the plan before deciding on the entire Township option. “Is the amount available a deterQUALITY, HONESTY, rent?” asked Dep. R0013625203
By Craig Bakay
the hamlets — home-based businesses off the beaten path,” said Coun. Jamie Riddell. “This might be the difference between doing something this year or next year,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. “I’d like to see it become a loans-only program. “We’re asking people to fill out a lot of paperwork for very little money.”

Save time next weekend for some brilliant and unique music, with two highlights of The Grand Theatre season performing 24 hours apart. The Johnny Clegg Band If you want to become successful in music, it’s probably not the greatest career choice for a white man and a black mate to start a band in South Africa in 1979 during the apartheid-era.That’s exactly what Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu did when they formed Juluka. They added more musicians until the band comprised three white and three black performers. I suppose if you are going to break an unjust and racist law, you may as well go big.The band combined Indie rock with Celtic and Zulu accentuation. The first time I heard/ felt Juluka’s music, I realized that one doesn’t “hear” in a traditional way. The sounds enter the ears, but the music is felt in the heart and the gut. The sound is intensified when witnessing Clegg in live performance. Both highly polished yet intrinsically raw, the music draws the listener into another world, a mysterious space that does not know the boundaries of black or white. Clegg’s music dwells in a fascinating color-blind universe. There’s a pure joy and magic to Clegg’s music. Juluka only racked up one Billboard hit with Scatterlings of Africa, but managed to sell millions of albums, a commercial success without entering the commercial world. Despite apartheid laws that forbade such interracial performances, the band found universities, churches, and private venues willing to host them. Their concerts were regularly broken up by the authorities, and Clegg (and other band members) landed in jail. Johnny Clegg was born in England in 1953. His background reflected what his future would become. With an English father and a Zimbabwe-
an mother, his maternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Poland. With a secular upbringing, Clegg refused to have a bar mitzvah and, after his parents divorced, moved at the age of seven with his mother to South Africa. He would become one of Africa’s most famous anthropologists, musicians, and activists. Clegg’s strong interest in Celtic music combined with a fascination with the Zulu street music he saw performed around him. His first arrest (for mixing with black children and performers) came at the age of 15. Two years later, with Sipho Mchunu, a Zulu, he formed the basis of what became Juluka. Clegg also studied anthropology and would eventually, for a while, teach it at a university in Johannesburg, South Africa. Juluka’s music, not intended as a political statement when Clegg and Mchunu first formed their band, became increasingly political as the band wrote lyrics about racial separation and trade unions. As Clegg has commented, “Politics found us.” Clegg has never courted favor with anyone, living life as a man who refused to live within unjust rules. If his eyes perceived a racial divide, he would not acknowledge it. Not only did he land in trouble with the government of South Africa for performing in a bi-racial band, he was also expelled from the British Musicians’ Union for performing in South Africa (and thereby breaking the union’s boycott of the country). His second band, Savuka, like Juluka, was biracial, blending European and African rhythms and influences. Sadly, Savuka disbanded after Dudu Zulu, who co-founded the band with Clegg, was shot and killed. In 1996, Clegg reunited briefly with Mchunu, who, since leaving Juluka, had settled on his family’s cattle farm. They recorded one CD. Since then, Clegg has toured the world with solo projects. He has performed for 125,000 people, headlining at the Montreal Jazz Festival. He’s also performed at New York City’s Tribeca Film Festival, the New Orleans Jazzfest, and many European festivals.

Two nights of musical diversity at the Grand
On April 8, Clegg brings his music to Kingston’s Grand Theatre for one performance. Men of the Deeps The next night, April 9, also at the Grand Theatre, Men of the Deeps brings its culture/folk music to the people of Kingston. This choir of Cape Breton coal miners first got together in 1966, when they formed as part of Cape Breton’s contribution to Canada’s Centennial. With the band still going strong in 1973, John O’Donnell was hired to serve as permanent director of the band. John O’Donnell is Professor Emeritus and former chair of the Department of Music at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. He retired from active teaching in September 2000. O’Donnell has traveled almost 500 km (return) weekly for 43 years from Antigonish to Glace Bay, Nova Scotia for rehearsals. He has been recognized for his efforts with the award of the Order of Canada. In 2003, Stephen Muise, the son of one of The Men of the Deeps, was named Assistant Director. Muise is a music educator with the Cape Breton Victoria Regional School Board and has performed with the likes of The Rankin Family and Rita MacNeil. Men of the Deeps have performed at Expo 67 and Expo 86. They were the first Canadian group to perform and tour in China after diplomatic relations were restored in the 1970s. They travelled to Kosovo in 1999 to sing for the refugees. Not only do they tour fellow mining communities, they’ve also performed at Roy Thomson Hall and Massey Hall in Toronto and the National Arts Centre
in Ottawa. They have recorded several albums since their founding. They have performed with celebrities like Rita MacNeil and Roger Whittaker, and have appeared in National Film Board of Canada films. They were featured in the NFB documentary, Men of the Deeps. The film won a Gemini Award in 2004. You can expect depth, not glitz, from the Deeps. Their repertoire includes hymns, mining (including disaster) songs, folk songs and some popular tunes. The
choir comprises 26 miners, some still working, some retired. They perform in coveralls, work boots, and hard hats with the traditional miner’s lamps. They pride themselves on being “of the people,” not above the people. Their ages range from the 30s to the 70s. Only those who have actually worked in the
mines can join the group. April 8 and 9 offer two nights of culturally authentic music not to be missed. Tickets for both shows are available at
The Grand Theatre Box Office or online at kingstongrand.ca. Mark Bergin on Twitter markaidanbergin.

Bold 30-year vision for Kingston’s waterfront breezes through council News – A bold, broad vision to rejuvenate Kingston’s waterfront sailed through council with an air of enthusiasm and anticipation. Councillors voted unanimously at their March 22 meeting to endorse the Waterfront Master Plan, a blueprint to spruce up dozens of parks and trails that will cost about $64 million with a 30 year timeline for completion. “It’s a great road map for the future,” said Coun. Laura Turner, who served on a committee that drafted the detailed report. Coun. Rob Hutchison says even though the waterfront improvements will centre on a few districts that border waterways, residents in the entire city will benefit. “You can’t really have everything in it but this comes awfully close.” David McDonald, a member of the Water Access Group, says the report is a long time coming. His only criticism is that the pace of some projects, taking up to 30 years to complete, is too long. “There’s really something here for everybody,” he said, adding: “We should be accelerating spend-
ing on this very important project.” However, Mayor Bryan Paterson says taxpayer affordability is driving the longer timeline for implementation. “There’s so many great projects and we can’t do it all at once.” The 705-page Waterfront Master Plan recommends a series of park and pathway improvements to better connect residents to the city’s 280 kilometres of shoreline along Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River and the Rideau Canal system. The plan, two years in the making, highlights dozens of waterfront improvement projects that taxpayers will be asked to finance, including $21.3 million in upgrades to the ‘Big 6’ “signature” parks that are already established and well used. City officials say their goal is to undertake one big project about every four years. The so-called ‘Big 6’ include spending; -$6.1 million at Confederation Park for a “significant” reconstruction of the park across from City Hall, replacing and updating the fountain under the arch, replacing the grassy areas with ‘hard landscaping’ to create flexible event space around the fountain area

to accommodate outdoor events, shoreline improvements, improved vendor space with possible public access to the historic Shoal Tower, -$4.9 million at Breakwater Park to add waterfront promenade, picnic areas, shoreline and beach improvements and revitalized swimming area, -$2.7 million at Macdonald Memorial Park to relocate the public parking lots closer to King Street, plus improved pathways landscaping to showcase the Cross of Sacrifice, Murney Tower Museum, Gaskin Lion and Newlands Pavilion, -$2.6 million at Douglas Fluhrer Park to add pathways, rolling landscape with open lawn gathering areas, shade structure, small craft launch, and natural shoreline improvements, -$2.4 million at Grass Creek Park to incorporate 45 additional acres purchased by the city with improved path-

ways, meadows and woodlands, improved beach and picnic areas and renovated washrooms, -$2.2 million at Cecil and Wilma Graham Park as a waterfront and picnic destination, gathering areas, small craft launch and natural frontage along Colonel By Lake. But it’s not just current parks and pathways earmarked for improvements. The Waterfront Master Plan identifies the need for public access to a host of non-municipally owned lands, such as Kingston Penitentiary, Sand Bay beach on the Invista property and completing a water-
front trail through private farmland adjacent to the southern end of Lemoine Point Conservation Area. Mayor Paterson says it could take many years to acquire public access rights to those and other privately-owned waterfront properties. “We seize the opportunities that come, but we also have a commitment to a certain investment in our waterfront every year.” Now that council has endorsed the document, staff say the next steps will be to identify specific waterfront improvement projects and precise timelines for tax funding in future capital budgets.

Community churches come together to host concert in support of refugees in Kingston mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Events – What does a choir made up of 180 voices sound like? Andy Rush is excited to find out. Rush is the director of Open Voices Community Choir in Kingston and on April 2, his choir will be coming together with Waterloo’s Inshallah choir for a one-of-a-kind Kingston concert. “I learned about Inshallah from a former student,” explained Rush. “They are a community choir of a similar size with a similar demographic and we have similar sounds. We thought it would be fun to come together for a special concert.” The idea for the concert came when Rush spoke to Rev. Steve Hoffard, Pastor at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, about the choirs. Hoffard had heard of Inshallah before and thought a concert sounded perfect. “We thought we’d bring the choir here, have a big concert and make some money for a good cause,” he said. “It was perfect.” The good cause is the Interchurch Refugee Partnership, an organization that started about a year ago to help incoming refugee families in Kingston. “Two women from my congregation came to me and expressed concern about the refugee crisis in Syria,” explained Hoffard. “They wanted to do something and after figuring out how to go about private
sponsorship, we didn’t feel like our congregation was large enough to do it on our own so I suggested going to other churches.” Lutheran, Presbyterian and United Churches in the Kingston area had already been working together on projects in the past and even celebrating holidays together. They were open to working together more and in the end six churches in the area formed a partnership and became the Interchurch Refugee Partnership. “It was a natural way to continue our relationship,” said Hoffard. “We can worship together, lunch together and now we can do community service together.” Since forming their original part-
nership, the group has held multiple fundraisers including apple sales, bakes sales and smaller concerts, but this event is a bit bigger. There are 500 seats for sale here and we will have 180 people on stage,” said Rush. “I just hope everyone will fit.” Thanks to some generous donations, all proceeds from the concert will go to the Interchurch Refugee Partnership and in support of a refugee family; this will be the fifth family that the group has sponsored and with every family they become more and more grateful to the community. “When we started we thought it would be sponsoring one small Syr-
ian family, but the Kingston community has been so generous and the money just started rolling in,” said Hoffard. “It has become much bigger than we ever thought it would.” The concert will feature a mix of gospel and inspirational music and will include songs in English and some in Arabic. “It will be a mix of music that will be uplifting and on a theme of hope,” said Rush. While he is nervous to hear the choirs for the first time together, he is sure it will be a great show. “The day of the concert we will be rehearsing together for the first time. It is a lot of fun and exciting to put the groups together and hear what comes out.”
Members of the previously sponsored families will also be in attendance at the concert and they have also been eager to help. “They want to be here for rehearsal and setup and they are really looking forward to it,” said Hoffard. “These families have made such a positive impact on our community. They are integrating and are well supported and it feels great and we hope to do even more.” The Open Voices and Inshallah concert takes place on Saturday April, 2 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Tickets are $28 and available at www.interchurchrefugeepartnership.com or at the door.

Is youth wasted on the young? The session even provided some entertainment for symphony-goers. During the symphony’s intermission, many attendees drifted outside to watch the action going on at the lakeside behind the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. Some concert goers asked questions. A sophisticated, impeccably dressed elderly gentleman chatted with a teen whose attire was less than impeccable. Both nodded, smiled, and laughed. It was a fascinating mingling of street and symphony culture. So, are we headed down some highway to hell? Hardly. There never was a Golden Age of the past in terms of childhood and youth behaviour. I simply do not see that poor behaviour in many young people. Do teens swear more and take drugs? Sure. So do their parents. Children learn what they see. If we perceive more youth crime, it’s because anything even slightly outside the norm, that might have
been considered quirky in the past, is no longer accepted. What would have been settled on the school yard twenty years ago now becomes a cause for major crisis intervention. We’ve pathologized youth. If there is a problem, it doesn’t lie with young people; it lies with parents and with corporate manipulation of the youth culture. The adult world beckons. It tempts a teenaged (or younger) person to jump into adult activities. Then when they do, we condemn the teen. We glorify the sexualization of children and we commercialize youth culture. Just look to childhood beauty pageants and dance competitions for proof of that (more on that in a future column). At the same time that many parents make few life demands on young people, we have also come to see typical youthful behaviour as harmful or criminal. The Western world perceives any childhood activity as harmful if it falls

outside some rigid norm. Never mind helicopter parents who hover over their children lest they feel any anxiety or pain, our entire culture is hovering over the young. There is no time or place for a young person to legitimately experiment. No climbing; you might fall and get hurt. No running; you could scrape a knee. Don’t go up that tree, you could break your arm if you slip. Here, let me put a tracking device in your backpack so I can hover over you 24 hours a day. All this monitoring gives children the message that they will never be capable of handling themselves without some outside authority taking care of everything. It also leads them to grow into adults full of anxiety because they were never allowed to learn the skills to deal with falls, pain, and failure.

“I think morals are getting much worse....There were no such girls in my time as there are now. When I was four or ďŹ ve and twenty my mother would have knocked me down if I had spoken improperly to her.â€? (Attributed to 60-year-old Charlotte Kirkman) It’s difďŹ cult to listen to conversations in the local pub or coffee shop without hearing someone dissing young people, with the griper giving a nod to days gone by as better times. As for the above quote, it was uttered in 1843, which leads me to believe that the more things change, the more they remain the same. You can go back to a much earlier time to Greek education between 300 and 600 BCE, and ďŹ nd this paraphrase from the Schools of Hellas. “The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and
love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.â€? Still, our world has survived. Do some young people cause trouble. Certainly. But so do some lessthan-young people. Over the past ďŹ ve years of writing my other column, EnchantĂŠ, I have featured and will continue to feature many young people who are contributing much to the world. They give me hope for the future. Last weekend, I had an opportunity to work with Move Collective, a dance/ movement/youth group that performs in many areas of the City of Kingston. The session featured parkour-themed movement behind the Tett and Bader centres. It was a testament to creativity and positive energy. Members of Move Collective jumped from ledge to ledge, ew over a metal park bench, and pounced up and off the walls of the Tett Centre.

Is youth wasted on the young? Continued from page 23
According to a British Broadcasting Corporation report, youth crime rates have been falling consistently in the United Kingdom for over a decade, yet the climate of suspicion toward young people has consistently increased. There’s almost a panic that many have about the perceived poor behaviour of youth. There is a similar situation in Ontario. According the Dr. Scot Wortley of the Centre of Criminology at the University
of Toronto, in a report on the roots of youth violence, prepared for the Ontario Government, the fear of crime in Ontario has been increasing, despite a lack of actual increased crime. The Media focuses on what will draw ratings and website clicks; in other words, anything that will lead to advertising dollars. Individual crime cases draw huge ratings. According to Wortley’s report, focusing on sensational individual cases, creates fear of crime and increases the belief that violent crime is getting worse.
“Media coverage of individual cases still has a powerful impact on public perceptions of crime and violence,” wrote Wortley. “Criminologists, on the other hand, tend to rely on both official and unofficial crime statistics when forming their opinions.” There is a trend that has not changed over time and it has to do with brain development. Young people have always committed more crimes than older members of the population. We also know that risk-taking is higher among young people. Those brains just haven’t developed enough to keep the owner out
AAron Buchner
of trouble. Violent and criminal behavior decreases drastically in the late twenties. Wortley refers to this as the “age-crime curve.” Wortley notes that the majority of Ontario residents believe that the violent crime rate is increasing. “The results presented...suggest that this widespread perception is fundamentally incorrect,” he concluded. The youth crime rate has steadily been falling, although there was a marked apparent increase in the 1990s. But that increase came after the Safe Schools Act was passed and many school boards adopted a zero tolerance policy. Again, from Wortley’s report: “Critics
Protect yourself, your savings and family with critical illness insurance. Critical illness insurance pays out tax free lump sum money 30 days after being diagnosed with a heart attack, stroke, cancer or 22 other health conditions. What is staggering is that 1 in 2.2 men and 2.5 women will develop a form of cancer in their lifetime.

have argued that this increase in the province’s official violent crime rate had more to do with the increased use of police in schools than with real changes in youth violence.” So is there any real cause for concern? There is, but it is related to socioeconomic status, not age. In his conclusion for A Province at the Crossroads: Statistics on Youth Violence in Ontario, Wortley noted: “Finally, though overall crime rates have remained stable, severe violence is apparently becoming more and more concentrated among socially disadvantaged minority youth. Most disturbingly, recent data suggest that this general pattern of violence may become more entrenched if current economic trends continue.” In addition to my photography and writing work, I teach at St. Lawrence College. In photography, video editing, music, and media classes, I witness amazing young people every day doing things that have never been done in the past. I watch our future nurses, police officers, electrical engineers, biotechnicians, and child and youth care workers grabbing the world and taking over from the previous generation. I proudly pass them the torch. I’m thrilled at the quality of the people who will be running our country in the next generation. Many of them seem much less self-centred than the older generations. They’re thinking globally with a social conscience and acting locally with integrity, intelligence, and perseverance. From examining current research as well as writings of years gone by, all I can conclude is that each generation thinks there is some kind of crisis in relation to the behaviour and actions of its youth. George Bernard Shaw claimed that youth is wasted on the young. Perhaps it’s not wasted, but it would be nice have a share of that energy once in a while. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

Livin’ la vida one car
I know I would score huge points with folks in this city if I said our decision was due to a desire to become a more environmentally friendly, “sustainable”, family; I wish I could say this was the case, but the truth is our motivation was mostly financial in nature. In the matter of disposable income vs. convenience, the former won out. So far it hasn’t been too bad, either. Sure we both lost a bit of independence and Steve has to get up earlier on days where he takes the bus. (His once 10-minute commute by car takes an hour on Kingston Transit. Sounds familiar.) But in the end I’ll take the increased financial security that comes with not having to pay for a second car. Maybe someday, when our kids are out of daycare and we have the Mazda paid off, it will be worth it to once again take on a second car. Better still – maybe Kingston Transit will further improve to a point where we no longer desire one. But for now livin’ la vida one car suits us just fine.

Several weeks ago, Steve and I drove our 2003 Chevrolet Impala to KIMCO. We parked it in the junkyard and bid farewell to our trusty old chariot. Then the KIMCO folks paid us $300 for it and we left. “Our car is a cube now,” Steve told Summer when she asked the next day where it had gone. “Ohhh,” she answered, not fully comprehending. I’m not sure if I do either, to be honest. That Impala served us well. It’s upsetting to think of it as a cube. I remember the day we bought it – our first ever car - back in 2008. Some old lady my dad knew was giving up driving altogether. For $8,000, we could have a mint condition fiveyear-old car that only had several thousand kilometres on it. “She just drove it to and from the grocery store,” my dad explained. I remember thinking that, appropriately, it looked a bit like an old person’s car, but otherwise it was pretty perfect. Steve was still a student at Queen’s and I was commuting an hour and a half each way to work on Kingston Transit. We lived in the Skeleton Park area and I worked near Bath and Portsmouth. Yes, by the time I walked to the bus stop, caught the first bus up to the Kingston Centre, waited 15-20 minutes for the transfer bus and walked to my place of work from where that dropped me off, an hour and a half had passed. A few weeks in, I discovered it was actually faster to just walk the rest of the way to work from the Kingston Centre. Needless to say, the 10-minute commute in the car felt like a luxury by comparison. A couple of years later, Steve was offered a coveted government job in Toronto. We ended up moving, but only for a few months. Long story short: I was miserable. I hated my job there and all I wanted was to move back to my hometown and work as a reporter, which I’d been doing when we left and loved. As it turned out, Steve’s bilingualism was equally in demand at the CRA Kingston office, and he was miraculously able to secure a job there. I resumed reporting and all was right with the world.
In Toronto – an urban city with decent transit and a strong walking/biking culture - our car felt like a burden. We paid over $50/month to park it at the building where we lived, and taking it out anywhere usually involved fighting ridiculous traffic. In Toronto, it was faster and easier to get to most places we wanted to go via transit. If we’d stayed there much longer we probably would have sold the car. But, back to Kingston we came, where the Impala continued to serve us well until just recently. Among many other safety-related problems, it needed new tires. Was it worth sinking hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars into a 16-year-old car that, best case scenario, only had a couple of more years? For both of us, the easy answer was no. We also agreed that getting by with one car (the 2013 Mazda we bought shortly after Summer was born because we thought having two cars would make life easier for our growing, suburban-dwelling family) was the best option for us.

Communication Technologies Credit Union (COMTECH)AND Limestone Credit Union Enter Merger Discussions Communication Technologies Credit Union (COMTECH) and Limestone Credit Union Ltd. today announced they have officially entered into formal discussions to pursue a merger of the two financial institutions. Comtech Credit Union is a full service financial institution that offers outstanding benefits to their members and their families. With over $300 million in assets and more than 12,000 members across Ontario, Comtech Credit Union has been growing strong for 75 years. Unlike a bank, Comtech Credit Union members share in the ownership of their organization, which means they have a say in how they operate. Limestone Credit Union is a full service financial institution that offers outstanding benefits to their members and their families. Limestone has assets of over $26 million and more than 2,100 members across Ontario and has been growing strong for 68 years. Our members are our most important asset. John Mach, CEO of Comtech Credit Union states that combined we create a stronger Credit Union focused on our commitment to personalized service and relationship building with our members. Together the Credit Union will have offices in Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Kingston and Amherstview.
I admit I didn’t see Divergent or Insurgent when they came out. When I realized I’d be seeing Allegiant I decided I’d better cram them in. It was important to understand the story, but at the same time I was glad I checked them out of the library instead of paying money for them. As Allegiant opens Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) have freed Chicago from the Erudites only to see it fall into the hands of Evelyn (Naomi Watts). With Evelyn seizing the reins of power Tris decides to follow the message from the founders, and see what lies beyond the wall. With Four, Christina (Zoe Kravitz), her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort) and Peter (Miles Teller) Tris goes over the wall, and into the wasteland that surrounds Chicago. Eventually they’re found by The Bureau for Genetic Welfare. Rescued, they’re taken to what was once the Chicago airport where they meet David (Jeff Daniels). It turns out Chicago is a giant experiment run by David, and its purpose was to produce Tris. A long time ago the war that almost wiped out humanity also damaged humanity’s genetic makeup. The hope of the Chicago experiment was to heal the genetic damage. Tris is proof the experiment worked. David has promised Tris that together they will save the world. Tris wants to believe, but Four is suspicious that not everything is as it
seems. Meanwhile Chicago is falling into a civil war. Tris finds herself torn between saving the world or saving her home. I enjoy dystopian fiction. I find it interesting to see how a writer breaks our world. In The Divergent series I like the idea of everyone living in factions, and later finding out that it’s all an experiment. While the theme and ideas are interesting the execution is lacking. The whole film feels like it is rushing to the end. There is the sense that huge amounts of story are being glossed over. I suppose that’s a necessary evil in most film adaptations, but in Allegiant, even though I hadn’t read the book, it still seems obvious that a lot is being left out. As it stands Allegiant isn’t a bad action film. The post apocalyptic setting looks realistic and is believable. The cast is good. Shailene Woodley and Theo James have come to inhabit their roles. Zoe Kravitz is excellent, and Miles Teller often steals the show playing the sarcastic and self-centred Peter. Naomi Watts does a decent turn as Evelyn, and Jeff Daniels is a surprisingly good villain. On its own Allegiant is a decent film though there isn’t anything outstanding about it. It isn’t ground breaking in any way. It isn’t a particularly clever plot. There are no standout performances. If you’ve sat through the first two then I suppose you have to see the third, but I’d wait to check it from your local library. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
MOVIE: Allegiant STARRING: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Zoe Kravitz, Miles Teller, Naomi Watts and Jeff Daniels DIRECTOR: Robert Schwentke RATING: PG
Mike Fleurie, G.M. of Limestone Credit Union states that with the right credit union partner this will allow the credit union to provide tangible value to the membership, and we will be a stronger credit union for the future. Subject to the normal conditions of due diligence, business case analysis, regulatory approvals and membership approvals, a merger is anticipated prior to the end of July 2016.

News – Kingston’s ‘Phoebe’ steam boat could be shipped across the border. A controversial recommendation floated from a city advisory group is to loan the city-owned, century old boat to The National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo, Ohio for an unspecified time. “A long-term loan would, I believe, permit us to bring the Phoebe to Toledo without issues related to the export of Canadian cultural material. In fact, Phoebe could be used at our museum as a beacon for Canadian culture,” said Christopher Gillchrist, executive director of the Toledo museum. He says the U.S. maritime museum is currently raising money for a $2 million expansion and they would be more than willing to make display room for the Phoebe. However, the proposed move does not sit well with the Friends of the Phoebe, a local group that has donated 35,000 volunteer hours and raised tens of thousands of dollars to restore the Kingston-built boat. “I do not believe that the steam launch Phoebe should be removed from the City of Kingston to any other community,” said resident George Dillon. Coun. Peter Stroud says relocating the boat to Toledo is at the “bottom of the list” of his preferred options, however, he added: “It’s still better than putting her in a warehouse.” The fate of the Phoebe has been up for debate since plans were unveiled for a $1 million expansion at the rear of the Kingston Pump House Steam Museum on Ontario Street. The Phoebe currently sits on a wooden cradle with protective shelter behind the museum near the proposed expansion. City officials want the 1914-era boat moved during the construction, and possibly kept away from the site permanently due to a lack of room. Other ideas pitched to politicians include putting the Phoebe into temporary storage or relocating the boat to another city-owned property
such as Confederation Park or the Maclachlan Woodworking Museum. Coun. Stroud says another option not included in a report is to place the Phoebe near Metalcraft Marine along the Inner Harbour. “It’s where she was built, right in Doug Fluhrer Park somewhere if it’s suitable.” However, the option that proceeded to the arts, recreation and community policies committee March 24 is to explore the boat’s relocation to the Toledo museum on long-term loan. The committee can alter the course if it chooses, but the boat’s fate will ultimately rest with councillors. Friends spokesperson Henk Wevers believes there is ample room on the Pump House museum property, even after the expansion, to keep the Phoebe on site as an open air exhibit. “The Friends have proven that construction of the new museum extension could proceed without removal of the Phoebe exhibit as there is the width of a two lane city street between the new extension and the current Phoebe exhibit.” Coun. Stroud says keeping the antique boat on its familiar land perch makes sense. “The best case scenario is to keep it there. It’s a steam ship at a steam museum. It was built the same year as the ‘Spirit of Sir John A’ locomotive in 1914.” Renovation work at the back of the 1849 Pump House museum involves removing an earlier addition from the 1950s that’s deemed to have no architectural value. In its place, a two-storey glass addition will provide washrooms, improved accessibility, staff offices, meeting rooms and a new entrance for school children. The new structure, which will feature the word ‘Pumphouse’ in large letters, will mark the historic building’s first major alteration in over 40 years. The building has operated a city-owned museum since 1973 and attracts about 10,000 visitors a year. Friends of the Phoebe say they want to continue to be part of the visitor experience by keeping the 102-year-old boat within steps of the building.

Dan River Cotton had the power to change moods The snow had all but gone from the fields, and our long lane was down to mud ruts showing the many trips to the Northcote side road by the sleigh and cutter over the winter. When we walked the lane on the way to school, we arrived with our gum rubbers covered with mud, and Miss Crosby made us leave them out on the step until they dried off, and at recess, the mud was scraped away with a twig from the big maple tree in the yard. The days still had a bite in the air, and until it really warmed up, you couldn’t smell Spring. I loved the smell of Spring, which my sister Audrey insisted smelled like any other time of the year. It was this time now, that Mother seemed to build up an energy, and it was like she was waiting for something important to happen. Win-
ter wasn’t her favourite time of the year, when the snow piled up around us, locking us into months of ice and cold that seemed to go on forever. And so with the first sign that winter was coming to an end, Mother had a restlessness about her, as if she couldn’t wait to see the first robin, or get her little boxes of vegetable seeds planted, or get into the Spring housecleaning. That Saturday, there wasn’t enough snow to take the cutter into Renfrew, and so Father hitched up the buggy, and Mother set off early to peddle her eggs, butter, a few chickens, and of course her sticky buns. Audrey and I were left to do our chores and put dinner on the table when Father and the three brothers came in at noon hour. It was mid afternoon before we saw Mother coming down the lane, with Nellie at an even trot. Stopping at the back door, and with what I thought was a real spring to her step, Mother brought in the supplies she had bought with the money realized from her sales in Renfrew. And there was a bag, which I recognized immediately
having come from Walker’s Store. I was curious beyond measure to know what was in the bag, but of course, Audrey and I were ordered to unpack the tea, the sugar and the other few staples bought to replenish what was in the back-to-thewall cupboard. The Walker Store bag sat on the kitchen table. Mother pulled the kettle to the front of the stove and when it started to steam, she made herself a cup of tea and sat down placing her hand on the mysterious bag. I was sure she was wearing what would pass for a smile. Finally, when I thought I would have to grab the Walker’s Store bag and rip into it myself, Mother opened it up, and there was a folded piece of Dan River cotton… checks in pinks, mauve and the palest blue. I could smell its newness all the way from the other end of the table. How I loved the smell of new material! I wondered what plans Mother had for it. New blouses for Audrey and me? A house dress for herself? She had just made fresh flower bag curtains for the kitch-

en, so the new Dan River material wasn’t for that. And it was much too pretty for just plain aprons. “Nineteen cents a yard...a bit pricey I thought. But well worth it,” Mother said, still rubbing her hands back and forth over the material. I finally asked her what purpose she had in mind for it. “Don’t really know,” she said, looking out the window into the grape arbour. She said nothing for the longest time. “I don’t think there is anything quite like a new piece of Dan River cotton this time of year. It sort of
puts an end to the winter, I think.” It amazed me how just spending less than a dollar on a piece of material could change my mother from a feeling of restlessness to such a feeling of sheer joy. All over a simple piece of Dan River Cotton print. It wasn’t the first time a new piece of material changed Mother’s mood...nor would it be the last.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, March 31, 2016 31
More Frontenac Islands council news...
By Margaret Knott
News- Frontenac Islands held another marathon day of 3 public meetings (as they had in February): a final budget meeting, a special meeting with County Planner Joe Gallivan regarding unopened road allowances, and the regular March meeting of council. The Council, with members of staff, also had a formal picture taken to add to those of past councils held at the Howe Island and Wolfe Island Town Halls. With reference to last week’s column and the transition of the Wolfe Island Paramedic Service from a volunteer operation to a regular unionized service by 2018, there was a certain amount of obvious concern from the public, for whom the service provides an important measure of confidence for living on an island, until the transitional process was fully explained . Presently, the island firefighters attend every call in
their Emergency Service vehicle, assist the Frontenac Paramedic (s) as required, and are First Responders when necessary. Provincial regulation allow only Paramedics (or police) to drive an ambulance. Repeating from the (March 23rd ) column, Director of Frontenac Paramedic Services (FPS) Paul Charbonneau stated that statistics indicate only 2% of all calls require immediate hospital admission. The philosophy now is that the ambulance brings the hospital to the victim, and the new (8 hr. shift and 16 on call) staffing reduces chute (response) times. He said islanders should continue to feel reassured in a medical crisis, that they will continue to be well served by the Wolfe Island Paramedic station on an ever increasing number of days. The $145,000 cost of the model chosen by County Council resulted in the request for ‘a phase in’ to a fully staffed unit. Until fully implemented, Paramedics will continue
to come from Kingston and there is an ongoing process of hiring new staff by FPS.
2. STREET NAMING POLICY: Frontenac Islands now has a road & street naming policy, its function is to enable people, and emergency services, to locate properties readily. An “approved street/road name list“ will be compiled , maintained and processed by the Public Works Department conforming to the Township’s names policies. Names may include among others, those who served their country (Military/Public Service), have historical significance, reflect the agricultural, recreational, and heritage etc. 3. The Frontenac County Rural Transportation project was discussed at the February council meeting where Deputy Mayor Nossal felt it appropriate to determine if there is a need for an extension of the service to Frontenac Islands that provides rides to appointments, for those unable to get there themselves. Based on county information there are ways of expanding the service to include islanders , but much is dependant on finding volunteer drivers. A flyer to determine interest in Frontenac County Rural Transportation initiative will be circulated, specifically
with a ‘Call Out’ for Volunteer drivers. 4. OPP Costs & Wind Towers: There has been a significant increase in OPP costs overall, with part related to the inclusion wind towers . Mayor Doyle recently met the Kingston C.A.O., their Police Chief, and Deputy Police Chief concerning possible policing options. “We will meet again in the fall to discuss possibilities , however there is little hope for any cost saving,” he said. He also raised the OPP billing formula for wind tower property codes at the ROMA/Good Roads Conference where there was a commitment to review the formula. FYI: Under the new OPP billing model, Ontario municipalities are being charged a base service cost including wind turbine property, and a service charge if OPP have to attend to any property in some way.
5. Frontenac Islands Wolfe Island Ward is setting up a Wolfe Island Ferry Committee, as a committee of council, made up of the Mayor, 1 councillor and 3 community members, and more as required. Its purpose is to assist in dealing with the province regarding improvements to the Wolfe Island ferry system to/ from Kingston. A letter of intent to CAO, to serve as a community member, is required by April 21st. Appointments will be made in May.

Man released on Kingston man arrested after shooting partner theft charges steals bicycle from in front of Kingston multiple times with Police station pellet gun: police A Kingston man, 23, was taken into custody last week facing numerous domestic violence related charges after he assaulted his partner and shot her multiple times with a pellet gun, according to a Kingston Police press release. The alleged abuse against the 22-year-old victim began in February but escalated on March 15 when an argument ensued between the two. The accused, who was in possession of a pellet gun, proceeded to shoot the victim in the leg, stomach and even neck, causing welts and bruises. The following day, on March 16, the couple continued their argument over a separate matter, which led to the victim banging on and damaging a bathroom door. Police say this angered the accused; he punched her in the head with a closed fist and then continued to assault her on the ground. Police say that he also uttered a death threat at her during this time. Kingston Police were contacted, officers spoke to the victim, recorded her multiple injuries and

took a video-recorded statement from her. Having grounds to arrest the accused they attended the west end residence but could not locate him. A search warrant was later executed by detectives on March 17th that resulted in some evidence being seized. At approximately 9 p.m. on March 20 the accused, knowing he was being sought, turned himself in at police headquarters. He was held overnight to attend a bail hearing the following day. He is being charged with: Assault with a Weapon, Possession of a Dangerous Weapon, two counts of Assault and Uttering Threats to Cause Death.
A local man, 46, wasn’t out of Kingston Police cells long when he decided to steal a bicycle while still in view of officers. The accused was originally arrested and charged over the weekend in relation to a March 11 theft of a drill from a truck that was parked in the Shell gas bar lot on Ontario Street. At approximately 10:30 a.m. on March 21 the accused was released from Kingston Police headquarters on a Promise to Ap-
pear with an Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Undertaking, but was then observed by detectives stealing a bicycle in close proximity to the station. The accused was immediately arrested again and the bicycle recovered. He is now facing an additional charges of Theft under $5,000, Breach of Probation and Breach of OIC Undertaking which he just entered into upon his release. Due to this occurrence he will now be attending a bail hearing.

Have your vehicle inspected before having recall work done Studies done in the U.S. predict that this feature (which uses radar and camera systems to apply the brakes when obstacles are detected) has the potential to reduce rear-end collisions by 40 per cent and injuries by up to 35 per cent. As I mentioned in a recent column this feature is great except for the fact that it will be in vehicles outnumbered on the roads by older autos reliant upon their human pilots to react in the same manner. While the amount of front end damage on automatic braking vehicles is certain to drop, the risk

ed or attached components? When dealing with a recall on an older vehicle for any under-carriage component, which has failed due to corrosion (think sub-frames, suspension parts and the like), there’s always the possibility that other components and systems involved with the repair may also be severely rusted or worn to the point of replacement. This risk can also exist with other areas of any auto, but to a lesser extent. In some circumstances a vehicle may not be able to be returned to roadworthy condition without additional work. Every carmaker that issues a recall (whether voluntary or government ordered) will list a specific repair process and parts’ requirements for the job. They will rarely cover additional repair costs, even under threat of legal action. Their stance is usually that it’s the vehicle owner’s responsibility to maintain their vehicle in lieu of any applicable warranty. Customers who may face this possibility should request that no work be started without an inspection to verify if any other repairs might be needed that the recall won’t cover. Then they can explore the option of
completing the work at the dealership doing the recall or taking it to a non-OEM facility or leaving it in its current condition. My email inbox always receives some interesting automotive tidbits and the following was a real eye opener. Tyler Burchett of the digital marketing leader FRACTL recently passed along a study done by Alcoholic.org a U.S. based addiction treatment facility. Using data supplied by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System they discovered that more than one third of pedestrians killed in vehicle/pedestrian collisions were themselves drunk. Looking at information collected over the last 30 years their analysis revealed that while the driving public is getting the message that drinking and driving is an extremely risky behaviour, walking drinkers seem to be a little slower on the uptake. In 1982 almost half of the drivers killed in motor vehicle collisions had blood alcohol content above the legal limit and that has now dropped to about 31 per cent. But during the same time frame, drunken pedestrians killed went from 45 per cent to 36 per cent and have outnumbered drunk driver fatalities since 1991. The message is clear, if you’ve had too much to drink (and that can be very little) you not only should never drive, but should also consider not walking home either. Take a cab or let a designated driver deliver you safely home. You can check out the full study at w w w. a l c o h o l i c . org/identify/walking-drunk/. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@ perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Police say a Kingston man, 54, was taken into custody last week following a stabbing outside a west-end billiards hall that resulted in a chest wound to a 47-year-old male. At approximately 10:40 p.m. on Friday, March 18, the victim was leaving KT Billiards & Sports Lounge, located at 2784 Princess Street, when he placed his arms around two females smoking just outside the entrance, according to a Kingston Police press release. Both women were in the company of the accused, with one being his domestic partner. Police say the accused, who observed what had occurred, took apparent offence to the victim’s actions. He then approached the victim from behind, pulled him off the women and stabbed him once in the chest. The accused and the two women then left the area in a taxi. Kingston Police and Frontenac Paramedics were dispatched to the scene. Uniform patrol ofďŹ cers were able to determine the taxi’s destination and an ofďŹ cer intercepted the trio as they arrived at a Notch Hill Road address.
