Student project helps Land Conservancy group and local birds at risk By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News - The Land Conservancy for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington is a volunteer organization that works to protect and conserve land in the Kingston area, including their own. The group, which formed about 15 years ago, recently purchased a 79 hectare piece of land near Bellrock. The land, named the Depot Creek Nature Reserve, is filled with forested areas, a creek, wetlands and grasslands and while the group wants to maintain the beauty of the property, which is open to the public, they also want to make sure they are conserving it in the best possible way. “There are many factors to take into consideration,” explained Mary Alice Snetsinger, vice-president of the Land Conservancy for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. “There are a lot of grassland birds that are species at risk and being a small group of about 130 members, we were trying to figure out how to maintain the grasslands. We have cattle grazing, but we are worried about trampling of nests.” These questions lead the Land Conservancy to a partnership with Fleming College in Lindsay, Ontario. The College has an ecosystem (left to right) Fleming College student Rebekah Short, Mary Alice Snetsinger, vice-president of the Land management program that requires Conservancy for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, students Elizabeth Travers, Adrienne Par- students in their third year to take on real-world projects at conservation sons and Mitch Kellar.

“We submitted a proposal and then a team of four students was matched with us,” said Snetsinger. “It really was a win-win; it is something that we could probably have done ourselves if we had the time or the resources, but with these guys it is good for them and it is what they are studying and it is great for them and their resumes.” Over the past few months, the students have been reading literature, interviewing experts, exploring the property and assessing what is best for the area. On April 13, they came to Kingston to present their findings and make recommendations to the Land Conservancy group. “We really focused on the impacts of the cattle on the area,” explained student Elizabeth Travers. “We identified two bird species at risk, the Bobolink and the Eastern Meadowlark, and we were tasked with seeing if the cattle is sustainable and okay for the two threatened species.” In the end, the students found that having the cattle on the land, because it is not a large amount of cattle, is beneficial. “There is about one head of cattle per hectare and speaking with specialists they say that is a very good ratio and there is low risk of trampling of nests from the cattle,” explained Travers. “Also, keeping the cattle is the best way to maintain the grassland area so they are beneficial to the land.” Continued on page 5

News — Presenting at a CRTC public hearing was an “interesting” experience, and one she’s glad she did, but it was also a long day and not something she’s in any rush to repeat, said Frontenac County Warden Frances Smith. “I learned more about internets and cell phones and high speeds than anyone should have to know, and it was tiring, but it was worthwhile,” Smith said. Smith was part of the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus and Eastern Ontario Regional Network delegation that addressed the CRTC public hearings April 12 as part of its review of basic telecommunications services. “We gave a 10-minute presentation and then they asked us questions for an hour,” Smith said. “They wanted to know about EORN, asked a lot of technical questions and complimented us on our work.
“Luckily, our staff was there to answer all the technical questions.” Smith said the CRTC panel seemed genuinely interested in the problems rural communities face and “I think that’s a very good sign. “But we also told them we didn’t want to be second-class citizens any more.” Smith said the conversation tended more towards internet capabilities than cell phones. “They (CRTC) didn’t talk a lot about cell phones, which leads me to believe they’re more interested in internet connections,” Smith said. “But I hope we managed to make the point that cell phones are important in rural areas for emergencies and first responders communication.” One thing Smith found quite interesting is how similar the problems Eastern Ontario faces are with those of Canada’s far north. “There were a number of presenters

CONSIDERING A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT? NOT SURE IF YOU NEED A BUILDING PERMIT? Call our Building Department staff at 613-376-3027 to chat about your potential construction project. You can also go to the Township website and follow the links to the Building Department for information on what documents we require with the submission of your building application. There are also useful links to assist you in your construction process along with answers to frequently asked questions.
NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSING Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and sell part of a Townshipowned road allowance as follows: Location: Part of Lot 19, Between Concessions V and VI, District of Loughborough Reason: The owner of property abutting the road allowance on the north wishes to close the road allowances to add to his land. It is not anticipated that there would be any impact of this road closure on any other property-owners. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on May 17, 2016, at 7:00 PM. For more information see the website under“News and Public Notices”.
NOTICE OF ZONING – INVITATION TO COMMENT On March 15, 2016 the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac considered amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. Two of these changes relate to rebuilding cottages within the normally required 30 metre setback from waterbodies. One change would clarify that, when buildings are removed by the owner to rebuild, they must rebuild according to the setbacks now in place. The other change would require a minor variance application to rebuild where a building within this 30 metres setback is destroyed by fire or tempest. These measures are to help protect the water quality of the lakes by maintaining a natural buffer around the lakes as much as possible. To deal with these matters, Council invites delegations to speak on the subject at the Committee of the Whole meeting at 7:00 PM, on either April 26, 2016 or May 10, 2016 in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham. Written comments will also be considered prior to the matter being brought back to Council for a decision. Anyone wishing to speak as a delegation at either of the meetings should contact Angela Maddocks at amaddocks@southfrontenac.net or 613 376-3027 ext. 2222, by no later than noon on the Thursday preceding the meeting. (Thursday April 21 or May 5, 2016)
NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSING Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and sell part of a Townshipowned road allowance as follows: Location: Between Lots 6 and 7, Concession XIII, District of Storrington Reason: The owner of property abutting the road allowance on the west and east sides wishes to close the road allowances to add to his land. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on May 3, 2016, at 7:00 PM.

PITCH-IN CANADA APRIL 17TH – 23RD, 2016 It‘s that time again! With the snow receding quickly this year, the garbage in our ditches and treelines is glaringly apparent. We are asking the wonderful residents of South Frontenac to Pitch-In again and help clean up our beautiful Township. Pitch-In bags will be available beginning April 4th at either Township offices as well as the stores that currently sell bag tags. We will not be collecting the filled bags until the week of April 17th so if you decide to start early, you will have to find a place to keep the bags until that week. Feel free to call ahead and register your group and the number of bags you would like to fill. Call Solid Waste Management at 613 376-3027 Ext 4330 to register. Last year residents filled more than 600 bags, so let’s see if we can surpass that this year!
A RECYCLING REMINDER Please take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. One just has to drive down any road in our Township to see the effects that loosely packed recycle boxes have done to our environment. This should be on your mind year round as you put your recycling out to the curb. Not overfilling your box and crushing your bottles will make them more compact and less likely to take flight. As well, the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers flat in a grocery bag then into your box; it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep the environment and our workers in mind when putting out your recycling and Please Don’t Litter!
REDUCED LOADS ON TOWNSHIP ROADS Subject to Section 122 of the Highway Traffic Act, during the period from March 1 to April 30 inclusive, of each calendar year, no person shall operate vehicle on a designated highway with a load that exceeds the limits set out in the Act.

Residents urged to let roads department know about beaver dams and potential flooding By Craig Bakay
News — You gotta love them beavers eh? Well, maybe not if you’re a public works manager in Frontenac County. And Central Frontenac’s Public Works Manager John Badgley has learning more about beavers and how they contribute to road washouts than he’d probably care to. “If we were allowed to go onto people’s property maybe we could do more about it,” said Coun. Tom Dewey at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake. “Our workers can’t see everything and if our residents could let us know about beaver dams and ponds on their property it could really help out.” “If you have a beaver dam on your property and it breaks and takes out a road, are you legally responsible?” asked Coun. Cindy Kelsey. “Yes,” answered both Badgley and Clerk Cathy MacMunn. “Maybe we need to make everyone aware of that,” said Kelsey. Not so fast, urged Dewey. “I don’t know about that,” Dewey said. “I think we need to get a legal opinion. “A lot of people are just here during the summer and might have no idea there’s a dam on their property about to burst.” Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald agreed. “I could also be on someone’s trap line and we have a lot of absentee landowners in our Township,” MacDonald said. “Besides, we’ll fix the road regardless. “Maybe we should make people
aware of potential problems and then if they don’t do anything about it, there could be some liability.” Currently Central Frontenac has an arrangement with the Frontenac Trappers Council who will come in and trap potential problems beavers when asked. ••• Badgley also showed Council a photo of the Township’s new rolloff truck, which the waste site attendant will be using to start hauling bins as of May 1, 2016. Coun. Phillip Smith asked if the new truck opened up the possibility of using the Wilkinson site as a transfer station. Badgley responded he’d put together a report on that. ••• Still with roads, Badgley said his crews have been working extra hours to get ahead on brushing, grading and patching, but some of that has been interrupted by the need for plowing, sanding and salting, something not normally expected in most Aprils. “We had some roads we fixed the potholes and graded, then the ground froze again, thawed, then major rain and flooding,” he said. ••• Council passed a resolution to enter into a funding agreement with the Canada 150th Anniversary Infrastructure Program regarding the library at the new Mountain Grove Community Centre. The resolution formalizes the agreement whereby the program contributes $110,000 and the municipality contributes $110,000. R0012783232

Parents rally to show ‘autism doesn’t end at five’ News – Ashley Sturgess is the mother of an autistic child; her son Timothy was diagnosed at the age of four after a series of tests and has been on the waiting list for Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) therapy ever since. Recently, the Ontario government announced changes to the Ontario Autism Program that will affect Timothy’s IBI and Sturgess, like many Ontario parents, isn’t pleased. “My son had his IBI set up for April, but now they are telling us that it is being delayed and we expect it to just get swept under the rug now,” explained Sturgess. “It is devastating.” Currently, the Ontario government funds both IBI and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapies for autistic children. Under the new plan, announced at the end of March, the Liberal government announced $333 million in funding, which will integrate IBI and ABA therapies into a flexible service that can provide more or less intense therapy. The new program will also limit IBI to children between the ages of two and five, starting May 1, which according to the Ontario government is based on expert advice to focus on children in that developmental window.
“I know people who have children who have done IBI to the age of 18 because they still needed it,” explained Sturgess. “The idea that it will stop at

High-speed internet, cable TV could be coming to Mountain Grove By Craig Bakay
Gazette News — The North Frontenac Telephone Company is looking at expanding its fibre optic network (for high speed internet service, cable TV and residential phone lines) up the Long Lake Road to the hamlet of Mountain Grove and representatives of the phone company were at Central Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake to get Council’s blessing for the project. “We’ve been looking at underserved communities,” said new NFTC Vice-President Grant Roughley. “Poles would be just too expensive but if we bury the cable at the
side of the road, there are still some obstacles to be solved but I think we can provide service using this approach,” he said. Roughley said they’d driven the proposed route with Public Works Manager John Badgley and it seems doable. NFTC GM Dave Smith said the “ideal” situation would be to bury the cable 30 inches deep on the shoulder of the road. “Where there are culverts and bridges, we’ll have to ‘go aerial’ and where there are no shoulders, like places with guard rails, we’d have to put up a few poles,” Smith said. “And it won’t be a direct buried fibre, it will be in a pipe.”
Coun. Tom Dewey asked if they’d considered following the trails in the area. “You have two fibre optic companies there already and we’re not able to pick up customers along the road with that approach,” said Smith. And picking up customers will be crucial to the plan, he said. “We’re looking at 100-150 potential customers along a 100 kilometre stretch of cable,” said Roughley. “That’s not very many so we’d need to pick up as many of them as we can. “For example, there’s another project where we could have 2,500 subscribers along a 14-kilometre

stretch. “This is not a great return on investment model but we’re looking at extensions of service with emerging technology.” “If this is something we can do, it would be great,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. “Living where I do (Mountain Grove), I’m prepared to get right out there with a shovel,” said Coun. Jamie Riddell. Coun. Victor Heese wondered about service up and down smaller road spurs like Thompson Road. “We’re looking at towers once we get the fibre to Mountain Grove,” said Smith. “As for putting service down a laneway with two customers

on it, it would probably be too much but if the customer wanted to pay for the construction and installation, we’d look at it.” Roughley said they didn’t have a timetable for when customers could actually hook up because they don’t know what they’re going to run into once they start building. However, he did say they could get started in about four weeks once all the permissions come through. “The cable’s already been ordered, and the piping would take a month,” he said. “The hamlet of Mountain Grove presents the biggest challenge because they don’t really have shoulders on the roads there.”

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
Adding more levels of senior staff a bad idea for any organization Column — An interesting report came out of South Frontenac’s Committee of the Whole meeting last week suggesting the Township should hire a slew of expensive fulltimers. The report was by Toronto/ Ottawa-based consultants at StrategyCorp, and concluded that South Frontenac spends less than most other comparable municipalities in a number of areas including administration, parks/ recreation and facilities, fire and police and planning/development. So? Just because other municipalities spend a bundle on high-priced help, does that mean everyone else should too? If other municipalities passed a bylaw requiring its constituents to jump off a bridge, should we do that too? One of the key findings of the report was that the CAO/Clerk spends almost 100 per cent of his time dealing with day-to-day matters. Is there something wrong with that? Well, the report seems to suggest
that the municipality would be better served if its CAO/Clerk spent more time ‘strategizing.’ Ah, so what the report writers are recommending is having someone who’s job it is is to sit on the throne, contemplating the Big Picture. Probably a nice, hefty wage and benefits increase should come along with that job description as well. The report also suggests that all senior staff spend 100 per cent of their time working on day-to-day matters. Again, what the hell is wrong with that? It should be noted strongly that part of ‘day-to-day’ matters involves planning out what’s going to be needed to run a township for the next six weeks, six months, six years. It’s kinda what the job is - not sitting around contemplating string theory. Of course, it seems like every consultant report on ‘management structure’ concludes that the organization needs a few more fartcatchers. One thing that sets municipal staffs apart from senior government staffs is that at the municipal level, the vast majority of employees actually earn their paycheques. Of course there are exceptions to that rule (more often at the upper tier level) but for the most part, people

work for a living. Of course that doesn’t sit well with big consulting firms, the majority of whose employees come from big phony-baloney government jobs. They rode the gravy train before finding out they make more by doing less, becoming consultants. In this day and age, the only “good” jobs are with government organizations, which includes health, education and social services. The reason for this is that private sector employees essentially priced themselves out of the market and a lot of (especially manufacturing) jobs went to China, India and Mexico. It’s a market forces thing. Jobs go to the lowest bid in the private sector. But of course most government jobs can’t go to other countries because they need to be done near the people that are using those services. The only thing is, who’s going to pay for this? The obvious answer is taxpayers but there’s a limit to how much the taxpaying market will bear as well. If municipalities really feel a need to pad the payroll, hire a few more pothole fixers. We’ve got all the ‘strategizing’ we need, thanks.

Let’s not drop phys ed
Editorial - It was recently revealed that Queen’s University is suspending its physical education degree, and is even removing it as ‘teachable subject’ at its teacher’s college. The school cited numerous reasons for the suspension, including a 15 per cent dip in student enrollments, as well as a shortage of qualified PhDs required for its faculty. But reading the subtext of the decision isn’t that difficult. It goes something like: “this isn’t where society’s money and interests currently lie, and so we won’t bother either.” It is preferable instead to focus on more rentable health sciences such as kinesiology, which students just can’t get enough of, and where they can expect lengthy careers in occupational and physical therapy, treating patients with a variety of conditions commonly associated sedentary lifestyles. Ok - that may be a bit of generalization, but it cannot be denied that the irony is rich. We agree with the experts in the field of physical education who instead argue that now is not the time to be dropping phys ed programs wholesale across the country like some diseased limb. Obesity and diabetes rates are at near historic highs, and physical activity levels of youth seem permanently on the wane. Less tangible but no less important is the positive impact that phys ed programs can have on children’s emotional wellbeing. It’s perhaps not surprising that the past few decades have witnessed a concomitant rise in depression and anxiety diagnoses among our youth in addition to physical maladies. Experts counter antiquated claims that phys ed programs can be ostracizing, over-competitive and geared towards athletic minded, arguing that modern phys ed programs are actually quite a bit different from the ones parents remember; now, small games are emphasized, and the curriculum targets healthy eating and sexuality. Coach Calhoun and Danny Zuko’s gym class this ain’t. It’s not all Queen’s fault. A jurisdiction’s educational programming tends to be reflective of its governing legislative body’s educational philosophy, and it’s quite clear that despite recent lip-service, P.E. is simply not a Queen’s Park priority. Ontario students are supposed to get only 20 minutes a day of vigorous physical activity a day, but the activities are taught by classroom teachers and a great deal of anecdotal evidence suggests that it often gets swept under the rug as teachers prepare their students for the rigorous math and reading testing to come. High schoolers receive even less P.E. programming, requiring only one semester long course in the high school career. Compare that with Manitoba, where it is mandated throughout. Indeed, the voice emanating from Queen’s Park seems to be suggesting that mandating healthy lifestyles through the educational curriculum is just silly; that physical education, like music and art before it, are to be sacrificed on the altar of STEM progress, and is better relegated to a student’s at-home, extra-curricular life. We think it’s time to finally say ‘no, it isn’t’. While math and sciences may be critically important to our children’s futures, their ability to enjoy those futures will depend equally on their ability to live them in relative health and emotional stability. Let’s get moving, people.

Don’t get fooled by fast food ‘farm-washing’ Fast food restaurants are trying to fool you about where their food comes from. And they’re doing it in a way that undermines sustainable small farmers in Canada and around the world. The rising popularity of local food and sustainable agriculture makes the big fast food companies nervous. Increasingly, people want to know where their food is coming from and how it was raised. Eaters want to support farms where animals are treated well, where workers are paid properly, where soil and water are taken care of. They want to eat healthier foods, not hormoneladen beef or pesticide lettuce. Fast food companies like McDonald’s have tried to steal back the limelight. Using a technique called “greenwashing” or “farmwashing”, they’ve used advertising to paint themselves as generous supporters of agriculture. For example, a recent McDonald’s advertising campaign depicts their foods—such as a hamburger missing its beef patty—along with words like: “The Big Mac? Not without Canadian beef farmers.” The implication being that they buy their ingredients from Canadian farmers. They’ve also started a Q&A website where people can ask questions about where McDonald’s ingredients comes from. But their answers are misleading, to say the least. For example, on their website,
McDonald’s brags: “We get our hamburger patties from Cargill in Spruce Grove, Alberta.” This sort of thing sounds great if you’ve never heard of Cargill. “Cargill in Spruce Grove” sounds folksy, almost downright wholesome. Cargill is, in fact, the largest privately-held corporation in the world. It is headquartered in the US, but runs its global trading mostly out of Switzerland, which—as with many companies with operations offshore—allows it to avoid taxes. Because they are privately held they can be secretive about their operations, and aren’t required to release information that publiclytraded corporations must. Cargill does much of their US administration in a sprawling mansion designed to look like the estate of a medieval lord—an interesting aesthetic choice for a company accused of treating farmers around the world like serfs. Globally, Cargill has been accused of almost every human and ecological transgression a corporation can perpetrate. They’ve been blamed for deforestation in the Amazon, while in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea their palm oil plantations have reportedly forced independent farmers off their land and into indentured labour on those plantations. And Cargill has been sued by the International Labor Rights Fund for alleged involvement in child trafficking and child forced labour
on cocoa plantations in the African country of Côte d’Ivoire. All of which goes against the folksy image McDonald’s is trying to project. Child slavery doesn’t put anyone in the mood for a “happy meal.” While McDonald’s admits that a substantial portion of their food is not from Canada, it’s actually very clever of McDonald’s to focus their advertising on where the food is produced. Because that sidesteps a much more important question— where does the money go? The answer is: not to farmers. McDonald’s is a large transnational company, they want to make a profit, and virtually all of the money they don’t keep goes to other large transnational corporations, like Cargill. Of every dollar spent at McDonald’s only a few cents—or
fractions of a cent—will ever go to a farmer. And virtually all of that farmer’s money will go right back out again to pay for equipment, fertilizer, and other inputs sold—of course—by the same large corporations that squeeze farmers at both ends. The urge to support Canadian farmers is a fundamentally decent one. Which is why it is so deplorable that companies like McDonald’s try to trick Canadian eaters into giving money to corporations that actually harm farmers here and around the world. When you buy local food, that money circulates in our communities. When you give it to a corporation, as the recent Panama Papers debacle has again shown, that money is often siphoned into offshore tax havens or spent on faux-medi-
eval manors. If you actually want to help Canadian farmers—which we very much appreciate—there are two things you can do. First, you can connect with farmers in your area and with bigger organizations like the National Farmers Union (www. nfu.ca) to learn about the issues that farmers think are important. And second, support farmers by buying as directly as possible. For example, shop at the farmers market, join a CSA, visit a local farm stand, or buy from small independent grocers. That way you really do know where you food is coming from, and your money can support farmers who take good care of their land and their animals. Aric McBay is a farmer and author on Howe Island.

Should Kingston’s red light traffic enforcement be turned over to cameras? By Bill Hutchins
Se & a e wh ff at livi orda com ng bl for loo e a ta ks ssis ble like ted !
Editorial – Anyone who gets behind the wheel on a regular basis will see their share of poor driving habits. You know the kind – you leave a safety gap behind the car in front you and someone always manages to squeeze into it, drivers who cut across two or three lanes at the last second to make a turn, those who don’t even bother to signal, others who pull up in a lane they know is going to end and race to get ahead of you at the lights and, yes, those who continue driving after the light has turned red because, well, they can and they just don’t care. There will never be enough police to catch the rude, distracted, in-a-hurry motorist. And that’s why red light cameras seem to be an ideal solution to address this type of aggressive or inattentive behaviour. These drivers might get the satisfaction of beating the trafďŹ c light cycle, but they likely won’t beat the camera that just took
a picture of their plate, and will send them a $325 ticket in the mail. But before Kingston city council turns into a ‘gotcha government’ with automated cops to catch offenders at 10 major intersections, tentatively slated to start in January 2017, the red light program deserves a serious re-think. The program, initiated by the last council, seemed to get some sober second-thought by this council. And rightly so. If you consider yourself a courteous and careful driver who might make the odd road mistake (and who doesn’t) should you still be penalized with a hefty ďŹ ne? For that matter, if you weren’t even driving the car when it was caught on camera but, as the registered owner you still get the ďŹ ne, is that really fair? There are many studies that suggest red light cameras can cause even more accidents from overly-cautious drivers braking suddenly at yellow lights to avoid challenging the cameras. And what about motorists who end up skidding through a red
light on a snowy, icy day to avoid a ticket? Interestingly, other jurisdictions with camera cops found that drivers making a rolling stop to make a right turn at a red light make up the vast majority of infractions rather than those who drive straight through. The camera program, of course, has its beneďŹ ts. It’s supposed to promote better driving behaviour and studies show it could reduce T-bone accidents by at least 25 per cent. But with more rear-end collisions anticipated, is that an acceptable trade off? And what about the hundreds of thousands of dollars this program is sure to rake in to municipal coffers by catching both well-intentioned and crazy drivers in the same net? The city insists it won’t be a cash grab and that any proďŹ ts will be funnelled into trafďŹ c safety programs. City staff say at least ďŹ ve tickets would have to be issued every day in order for the $520,000 a
year program to break-even. Even with that minimum target, it’s still more than ten times the number of red light tickets that police ofďŹ cers currently hand out in an average year. There’s also a question of degree that should be considered. Communities like Halton Region and Hamilton have much larger populations, yet Kingston would have almost as many camera-installed intersections as they do. Local politicians will tell you they hear more road-related complaints from constituents than just about any other civic issue. If this police-free program is implemented, you can bet they’ll hear even more complaints from red-faced $325 ticket holders who either won’t remember the infraction or insist they never did anything wrong, and must now make a court date to ďŹ ght the ticket. It’s sure to clog the courts further as people challenge
the ‘guilty until proven innocent’ formula, even though they can’t cross-examine a camera. Camera critics say the city should ďŹ rst experiment with longer yellow lights at troublesome intersections to see if that gives motorists more time to stop safely, or dedicate more trafďŹ c ofďŹ cers to monitor intersections. Kingston police have tried to stay out of this political debate, but have been summoned to the next council meeting to explain their trafďŹ c enforcement strategy. Councillors want reassurances they’re on the right track. Based on the police presentation, they’re expected to decide whether to move forward with red light camera contracts to install, operate and issue tickets. They could also delay or scrap the entire program and search for alternatives that don’t involve adding to a Big Brother society.

News — Sharbot Lake is a natural spot for a ‘trail’ hub and development, Frontenac County CAO Kelly Pender told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Pender, along with Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal, were at Council to give an update as to activities and priorities at the County. (Frontenac County Warden and Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith was at the CRTC hearings on cell phone gaps). “I look at Sharbot Lake as the place for trail development,” Pender said. Pender told an anecdotal story about being stranded in Bancroft during an ice storm earlier this year. “I couldn’t get a parking spot at the hotel because the lot was full of snowmobiles,” he said. “That tells you a lot about how many people there are that would potentially use trails.” In fact, trips and trails are the County’s No. 1 priority in terms of economic development, he said. They’re followed closely by two related topics — accommodation and food and recreation lifestyle. Pender also outlined the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus priorities for 2016: • Improved/expanded hydro and natural gas service • Closing the cell gap • Monitoring/participating in growth planning for Eastern Ontario • Economic development — leadership council
• Policing costs “We will continue to lobby for natural gas expansion,” Pender said. “And anybody who has a teenage daughter knows all about the cell phone gap.” He said as far as economic development plans go, they’re looking at ways to develop the workforce in the County, developing skills for the jobs that are available. As far as County services go, Pender said he sees major developments that will affect the County’s two largest services — ambulances and Fairmount Home. “Lennox & Addington is looking at closing the Denbigh base and concentrating on the Stone Mills base,” he said. “If they do that, the Parham ambulances won’t be going into L & A much and that should improve our local response times. “There are also plans in Loyalist Township that would have a similar effect on our Sydenham base.” As far as Fairmount goes, Pender said they’re already seeing a shift in terms of the services they provide there as a result of an aging population and the Province’s push to provide more ‘aging at home’ opportunities. “What it means for Fairmount is that people are coming into the home later and sicker,” he said. “So, our programs are changing. “We’re having to provide more bedside care and to do that we’ve had to provide fewer recreational programs.” He said they’re also looking at working with the Limestone District School Board to provide a rural liaison committee for things like school closures, transportation and shared facilities.

Tallack students travel to Kyoto By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – Many martial arts students dream about taking a trip to Japan and seeing where it all began; for some students at Tallack Martial Arts in Kings-
ton, that dream is becoming a reality this month. “We are travelling to Kyoto for the 1222 martial arts festival, which has been held, not every year, since the year 792,” explained Hanshi Ken Tallack. “Every four years they open it up to in-
ternational members and these students are lucky enough to attend and be part of it.” On April 23, Tallack and more than 20 students will travel to Kyoto to be part of the 5th annual World Butokusai (martial arts festival). The main objective of the festival is to promote friendship and cultural connectivity between attending nations and to showcase their respective martial arts styles for all attendees to enjoy. Tallack is a member of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, the Japanese imperial family’s martial arts gov-

erning body. The school focuses on classical martial arts training and on this trip students will see firsthand the history that influences that training and some will even receive a very valuable souvenir. “Several of these students will receive their black belt in Japan and that is really special,” said Tallack. “I have taken several groups over and some of them found out the hard way that just buying a ticket does not guarantee that they will get a black belt, but I am confident all of these students will succeed.” The trip is one of many that Tallack has taken to Japan and while it will be a first for many students, it will be the second trip for Sensei Melanie Loxton. “I am looking forward to so much,” she said. “There are the events and the days demonstrations, there are the seminars and the culture. I loved it when I was there last time. Everything was so
different and exciting.” The trip will be a first for Steve Petsikas, a student with Tallack for more than 13 years. Petsikas is a bit nervous about the trip but also very excited. “I am most excited to meet likeminded people my age,” he explained. “I am nervous about my presentation, though. I do a martial art called Iaido with Japanese swords and it is held in very high regard. They invented it and now I am presenting it in front of the board of masters. It is a bit intimidating.” Loxton also felt that intimidation on her first trip, but now she tells other students to try and relax and just enjoy the whole experience. “I know it is very nerve-wracking for everyone with all the strict protocols and the masters we are around, but I really just want them to relax and enjoy it,” she said. “It is a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to it.”

Kingston Y Penguin to compete at 2016 Rio Paralympics Rob Mooy
Sports - Congratulations to Y Penguin Abi Tripp. She will be competing against the best in the world at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sept. 7-18. The Kingston athlete, who has cerebral palsy, competed in six events in the S8 division at the Olympic and Para Swim Trials, which took place in Toronto, April 5-10, and has qualified to represent Canada alongside 21 of the nation’s
best para-swimmers at. Tripp, 15, who has been with the club for eight years, achieved best times in all of her events, swam to two Canadian records in the 200 metre individual medley and won a silver in the 100 metre backstroke and bronze in the 100 metre free. The talented young swimmer, a Grade 9 student at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School, was pretty excited about the upcoming trials,
but went into the trials without to many expectations. Her goals for the games were to embrace the experience of her second big meet. “It’s really just to have fun, gain experience, have some good races and hopefully set some best times,” says Tripp. “Her focus (as it should be at her age) is to have fun through participation and challenging herself,” says coach Vicki Keith, herself a world-
class marathon swimmer who founded the Y Knot Special Abilities program 15 years ago. “She thrives in any opportunity to push herself. She loves to work hard. She loves to find a challenge and then to focus on overcoming each obstacle until she has achieved her goal.” The excitement began on April 14 when she broke a 14-year-old Canadian record in the 100 metre individual medley, only to eclipse it hours later with a time of
2:58.77, shattering the old record of 3:03-04 set by Andrea Cole in 2002. “It felt good going into the races,” says Tripp. “Vicki always reminded me to go and have fun. I know that I can get a better performance if I’m relaxed and enjoying every bit of it. We had done the training I needed to do, so now I just needed to go fast.” Continued on page 14

Kingston Y Penguin to compete at 2016 Rio Paralympics Continued from page 13
And fast she went – surprising even herself. “The results were everything and more than Vicki and I had hoped for. I had made goal times for all my swims and was able to beat each
one of them. The medals and Canadian record were not something that I was expecting going into trials. They were like the icing on top.” “It was so exciting to watch Abi race this week,” says Keith. “Her focus was intense, but she never

offered support to her teammates, cheered on her competition and swam with an intensity that is uncommon in an athlete as young as she.

“I am so proud of all the Y Penguins,” adds Keith. “They represented Kingston very well both in their efforts in the pool as well as the camaraderie they brought to the pool deck. Teams across the country look up to the Y Penguins, and our athletes are awesome mentors and leaders for the younger and less experienced athletes.” Tripp takes home many memories from the trials, but one is particularly special to her. “One of my best memories was after the 200 IM in the morning.

and I both swam under the Canadian Record. She swims in the S8 class the same as me. We both got best times and I found her after the race and we had a big hug and she was crying tears of joy.” Tripp is quick to note she could not have come all this way on her own. “Support from my family, friends and team-mates has been outstanding,” says Tripp. “My parents make sure that I have what I need to be the best I can be. They are cheering and supporting whether in the stands or from home. “Vicki (Keith) has been my coach ever since I started swimming. She has been there through all the ups and downs. Vicki is very experienced in coaching and she is a very positive person. I thrive in a positive and supportive environment. Vicki cares about each and every one of her athletes. She believes that each and every one can do anything they set their minds to, no matter what abilities or disabilities.” For now, Tripp will be concentrating on a life-long dream – one which will come true this September. “I can’t believe this is really happening. I have dreamed of being on this team going to Rio ever since I was eight or nine.”

Voting open for worst road in Ontario
within Ontario cities,” explained Raymond Chan, Government Relations for CAA. “Last year we saw over 2000 roads nominated, our News – If there is a road in Kingston that you most ever, so the campaign has become quite hate travelling on, now is the time to speak up; popular.” In addition to the top 10 worst roads list that on April 15, CAA launched their annual Worst Roads Campaign and they are hoping to hear comes out of the campaign, the CAA also comfrom concerned drivers, cyclists, pedestrians piles a list of the top five roads in each region. Last year, Johnson Street made the list in the and transit riders from across the province. The campaign started back in 2003 to give Eastern Ontario region. “We also saw Princess Street and Brock the public a way to voice their concerns about Street trending for that list too,” said Chan. “We problem areas in their community. “We want to hear about roads, highways, hope to get even more response form Kingston bridges and really any infrastructure issues this year.” After voting is finished, on April 29, CAA will evaluate the information sent in about the 10 worst roads and present it to municipal and provincial partners. Most of the time, issues with the roads are resolved as a result. “For the most part feedback and results have been very positive,” said Chan. “Last year in Timmins we had the mayor come out Raymond Chan, Government Relations for CAA at the Kingston CAA of- and mention a fice on April 15. Photo/Mandy Marciniak problematic road in his community and lots of media picked up on it. Repairs for the road were scheduled for later in the budget cycle, but they ended up pushing it forward as a result of the campaign.” Chan hopes that past successes encourage more Ontarians to get involved with the campaign. “We really want to hear from people – whether the issue is potholes or delayed signals or even confusing street signs –everyone experiences these roads on their commute to and from work and their maintenance is important.” To vote for Ontario’s Worst Roads visit http:// w w w. c a a w o r Manufacturing Furriers For Over 95 Years 86 John Street, Brockville (613) 342-4603 Toll Free 1-888-342-5797 stroads.com/

expensive to purchase and train.” Depending on what the dog is being trained for, it costs between $20$25,000 per dog to purchase, train, vet, feed, and place these dogs. Knapp is quick to add that the family is not always expected to foot the entire cost of a service dog. “The families are not alone with the cost of the dog; we help them with fundraising and provide ideas of how they can afford one of our service dogs. “We decided on an auction because it gives people a wonderful afternoon of fun in a beautiful set-

News - These days it’s a not an uncommon sight to see our fourlegged friends working as service dogs alongside people with special needs. There has been a big demand for service dogs in this community for many years and the ultimate goal of Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs is to help as many families as possible. But placing these dogs costs money. To help offset the cost, they will be holding the 1st Annual K4Paws Charity Auction at the Vimy Officer’s Mess - CFB Kingston, April 23, from 2-5 p.m. Samantha Knapp is a mother of six children, two with special needs. She discovered early on that she needed help. When checking into getting a dog for her daughter, she found the wait list was several years long. “I had learned about what a dog could do for families with special needs children but sadly, the wait list to get a (service) dog was very long.” Taking matters into her own hands, the Kingston native went back to school for some extensive training. Upon graduation she trained her first service dog for seizure alert/response and autism over a decade ago. Wanting to help other families with similar circumstances, she joined forces with Elizabeth Bailey to open Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs. “Our business will hopefully shorten the wait list for families,” adds Knapp. “I train both service dogs and companion dogs. It’s a very rewarding job. I train service dogs for autism, seizure work, mobility issues and PTSD.” Since its inception, Kingston 4 Paws has placed six dogs with adults, teens and children suffering from PTSD, sensory processing disorder, autism, Down’s syndrome, mobility and mental health issues. They are currently training 23
puppies and their waiting list is growing daily. “The number of people on the wait list exceeds the number of dogs we have so we are going to be adding a few more dogs soon.” There is no need for a parent with a special needs child to have to do everything all on their own. To get on the list for one of these special dogs, “Families just need to apply for a service dog through Kingston 4 Paws, have proof of a medical issue that requires the help of a dog, and a supportive family willing to learn. The dogs are very

MusicMates opens Kingston’s first social music centre Making music, making friends: that’s what MusicMates’ new social music center is all about. Founded in 2010 by Shera Lumsden, the programs previously offered by MusicMates - both in-home and in the music rooms at Edith Rankin United Church - were very successful, and Lumsden found it was time to find a permanent and accessible place to call home. With the establishment of its new social music center, located within the Collins Bay branch of the Royal Canadian Legion at 4034 Bath Rd, MusicMates will now be able to expand their social and communications skills programming for children, youth and
adults with special needs or behaviour issues. Director and founder Shera Lumsden explains that “accessibility is not just about putting a ramp on the front of a building. At MusicMates, programs are offered in a variety of formats so every person can actively participate. MusicMates is a large, caring family. Every individual is accepted and cared for.” She says she began MusicMates when several parents of children with autism expressed a desire for a music program. “I knew music was very powerful as I had used it in the past with my own daughter who has special needs. My daughter really struggled with gross motor skills so I incorporated music
into her physiotherapy exercises and it really helped her.” When Lumsden began running the classes, she quickly noticed that the children were able to socially connect through the music. Upon recognizing this, she turned her focus to using music to facilitate a wide range of skills including social, gross motor and fine motor skills. MusicMates is even set up to accommodate participants who have experienced language deprivation due to hearing loss, verbal impairments or being deaf. In cooperation with friend and TSL (Teaching, Singing, Learning) business part-
ner, Leah Riddell, they have created a unique sign language curriculum that focuses on making MusicMates fully accessible by incorporating sign language, adapted sign language and pecs (picture exchange communication system) into the curriculum and around the centre. “Pecs are visual pictures that people who are nonverbal can use to communicate,” explains Lumsden. “Leah and I incorporate picture communication into our sign language curriculum and products so that all communication is multilingual. This ensures better ac-

cessibility. It also ensures that people do not have to stand out as being “different” for needing a different language. If all the languages are there, anyone can participate.” The organization has grown tremendously since its inception, largely in part to their creative use of music as a tool to assist individuals with skill development and their ability to provide individual support workers for those with complex needs at no cost to the families.

The addition of six new programs (as of May 1) means that 50-75 people will now be participating in social music programs each week in the centre. Their portable program brings music into the community and will continue to serve anywhere from 20-100 people every month. MusicMates’ dedicated staff of 5-10, plus about a dozen community musicians who attend programs as special guests, use instruments in order to ensure programs are accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Not only are instruments themselves adapted to accommodate for playing with limited movement, the new facility includes a sensory space (much like a snoozelin room), a kitchen, a fireplace for fireside music, accessible ramps on both entrances, an accessible washroom and adaptive seating options. It’s been an emotional experience for Lumsden. “It’s really difficult to put into words how deeply the program has changed my life,” she says. “I belong to a large family of absolutely amazing people. The
love and acceptance we all experience is transforming. I am blessed to be a part of many success stories and achievements. I am honoured to bring peace to people who are coming to the end of their lives.” Lumsden has learned that through music, she can touch a person’s life when nothing else will. “The best part of it all is that I can now teach people how to do what I have been doing for six years and the use of music as a tool for success will spread even further.” She believes it will have a tremendous impact on the Kingston community. “I think the message I would like to get out to the community is that there is something we all have in common. We all, in one way or another, share a common love for music. Tastes may differ, ability to produce music may differ, but we all share the enjoyment of musical sound. It is this commonality that can bring us closer together. I truly believe there is no better way to socially connect than through the use of music. On some level, we are all equal.” Discover more about MusicMates Shera Lumsden (left), founder and director of MusicMates, along with Joann Mendler, program manager, at www.musicmatesinc.com or contact and Leah Riddell, co-founder/designer with TSL (Teaching, Singing, Learning), sing and sign a song during them at musicmatesinc@gmail.com.

McCarthy soars again playing familiar movie character The Boss is the same movie with the same character that Melissa McCarthy always falls back on. I know it. She knows it. You know it. While this may be another variation on a theme for McCarthy she does do it well. This time around McCarthy is playing the 47th richest woman in America, Michelle Darnell. Investor, deal maker, power broker, and motivational speaker, Michelle does it all, and Claire (Kristen Bell), her personal assistant, makes sure Michelle shows up to do it. It’s a thankless job, but at least the pay is lousy. Then Michelle gets busted for in-
MOVIE: The Boss STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell, Ella Anderson, Tyler Labine and Peter Dinklage DIRECTOR: Ben Falcone RATING: 14A sider trading thanks to a spurned former lover turned nemesis, Renault (Peter Dinklage). After three months in jail Michelle comes out with nothing. Renault has taken it all, and Michelle finds herself with no one to turn to. No one but Claire that is. Claire and her daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson) take Michelle in. Sure the three of them living in a small apartment offers some laughs, but it’s nothing compared to what happens when Michelle takes Rachel to her Dandelion meeting. The Dandelions are like the Girl Scouts, and it’s there Michelle gets inspiration. She sees how much money they make selling cookies and realizes she could make a lot of money by starting her own troop. Darnell’s Darlings are born, and the real comedy begins. I wasn’t expecting much

whatever comes into her head regardless of what anyone thinks. Then, as Michelle, she starts ripping into this person and spouting off about that topic, and my jaw drops. That’s how funny she is. She is jaw droppingly funny. There’s no filter. There’s no sense of appropriateness. There’s just her as Michelle saying whatever she wants. I love McCarthy but I was surprised by some of the other talented faces in the sup-

know him because he’s a comedic genius, and Dinklage is just as jaw droppingly funny as McCarthy. There’s a good reason why Mellissa McCarthy does this character over and over again. She’s good at it. Her timing, her delivery and her comedic instincts are supernatural. She’s going to do this character again, and I’ll probably end up laughing just as hard.

Mary’s chores left a lasting impression minded me, since I was the youngest, it would be my chore for just about the rest of my life! And she patted me on the head, smiling, as if that would compensate. And I pictured in my mind being the only one left on the farm with my three brothers and sister all off to exciting jobs in far away places, and me left with the churning every Saturday. I tried not to look at the ticking clock on the kitchen wall. Which, to me, moved at a snail’s pace. And then, I would hear the sound of the plunger changing. No longer did the cream slosh against the sides of the churn. It got harder and harder to pound down the cream, and I would know the time had come to lift the wood disc, and peer inside. And there it would be, butter! Mother would come and look inside and agree, the chore was
over! She ladled it out into a big granite bowl, and put drops of yellow food colouring into it, stirring it well. The next job would be piling it into the wood mold to come up with pounds just like you could buy in Renfrew. Each pound was then wrapped in wax paper, ready to sell door to door in town. I was so stiff when I finished, I could hardly get off the chair, and my arms would ache well into the day. And I would go over to the creton couch by the
cook stove and lay down and close my eyes, still wearing the big pinny and yet to wash my arms and face of the cream splatters. And for the longest time after I would hear in my head the steady plop of the plunger. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Why I was singled out to churn the cream into butter every Saturday was beyond me! It was like all the other chores Mother thought suited someone of my young age. Bringing in the wood to fill the wood box, making sure the basin under the icebox didn’t run over, and emptying the Gerry pots when needed, Mother deemed were all jobs I could handle. But it was churning every Saturday that irked me the most. That was because it took most of the morning, when I could be doing other things I enjoyed more, like playing with my dolls, visiting with my friend Velma, or reading the one book I was allowed to take out of the Renfrew library. As soon as my other chores were done, without saying a word, Mother handed me the big white pinny, which went from under my chin right down to dragging on the floor. The little wood barrel would already be in front of a kitchen chair, with the wood plunger floating
around on the cream inside. There was a round wood disc fitted on the top of the barrel, and the hole in the centre was larger in size than the plunger, which also caused me concern. Because once I started working the plunger up and down, blobs of cream would escape, and it wasn’t unusual to have my apron, and even my face splattered. I learned early at the job that sitting on a cushion helped keep my bottom from falling asleep from the constant movement on the kitchen chair, but nothing could save the ache I felt in my arms within minutes of churning. My arms were thin... in fact, my hateful brother Emerson once said they looked like sticks from the old gnarled tree in our back yard. And by the time only a few minutes had passed at the churning, I ached something fierce from shoulders right down to my fingertips. The cream turned faster, I thought, if it had been well chilled before being put in the churn. And so in the Winter, or early Spring, the job didn’t take as long. But as the days got warmer, and the cream had been in the milk can overnight in the summer kitchen, it seemed to take forever to turn it into butter. I once asked Mother how old I had to be to taken off the job, but she re-

It’s not often that a professional choreographer debuts her work on a Kingston stage. On May 1, during the Juvenis Festival, you’ll get to see the premiere of dancer and choreographer Kay Kenney’s “initially/(un)conditionally” in an afternoon and evening performance at the Baby Grand Theatre. The Juvenis Festival is the region’s inaugural youth arts festival, a weeklong arts showcase for young people between the ages of 13 and 30. The festival features ongoing performing arts productions as well as free workshops and master classes in the arts. Kay Kenney is a graduate of the three year contemporary dance program of the School of Dance in Ottawa. She’s a Kingston native, a graduate of Regiopolis-Notre Dame, and an alumna of the Kingston School of Dance. Since completion of her post-secondary program in Ottawa, she has worked with Social Growl Dance in Toronto and Ottawa Dance Directive. She also trained for two-and-a-half years with the highly respected Peter Boneham. Kenney’s upcoming production involves seven women from various dance backgrounds. “The youngest is 17, the oldest is 30,” said Kay Kenney. “We’re pinpointing all these areas of age. Having them in one room is really cool.” Kenney loves to people watch, whether it’s an elderly pair who’ve been together for decades or a young couple sitting in the park trying to cuddle for the first time. She was recently in Thailand, where people watching opportunities abound. “When I was in Thailand, I thought about how people meet and how that naturally evolves,” she said. “I’ve been really fascinated with my grandparents’ relationships. One set has been married 60 years this year. The other, it’s 58 years.” Kenny said that there are times when we can feel a relationship with someone we’ve passed three times on the sidewalk even though
we’ve never had a real conversation. She’s been watching a lot of videos about long distance relationships and what happens when those people meet for the first time in person. “We’re so different today,” said Kenney. “When our grandparents met each other they were present all the time,” she said. “There was no screen in between them. They fully experienced things in person as a duo.” She said those moments when people meet are the fuel for the “initially/(un)conditionally” dance production. “I’ve been playing with the idea of these girls, these women, going back 100 years and who they would be as the 1920 version of themselves. Every day I’m learning more and more about them. I get them to improv this story while dancing their butts off. I see a whole other side to them that I wouldn’t see if they were just being physical.” Kenney has chosen to use a lot of costumes in the production. “It’s kind of like a velour red living room that might have thrown up on stage in a glitzy glam kind of way that’s pretty cool.” She raided both of her grandmothers’ closets. “All the costumes are old. I even have my great great grandmother’s wedding dress. It feels so fragile in my hands, but it will make a little appearance. There are also jewels. They help revisit the past. We’re pulling from memories they’ve given to family and friends.” The entire production, aside from the music by Logan Brown and Etienne Lambert, is staffed by women. “I didn’t visualize that when I started this,” said Kenney. “The whole cast is female. So is the stage manager (Taylor Vardy), the costume designer (Lauren Casselman). Everyone. It has this woman power to it.” A huge smile fills her face as she waves her hands around to express the expanse of femaleness to the show. Kenney said “initially/(un)conditionally” started to percolate in her brain about two years ago when she was house sitting for a friend in the Gatineau Hills in Quebec, north of Ottawa. Her grandparents came to visit.

Queen’s nursing students work to create safe breastfeeding spaces on campus mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
hart. “We found that supportive spaces on campus, something that is so easy, could really help women who wish to continue to breastfeed a little longer.” Through their project, Hannigan and Lockhart were able to create or designate three spaces on campus as friendly breastfeeding areas: the Ban Righ Centre as well as a private room within it; a room at the John Deutsch University Centre (JDUC) and a room at the School of Nursing. “The whole Ban Righ Centre has always been a friendly space for breastfeeding and the room at the JDUC was actually just designated as a parenting room,” explained Hannigan. “So, we were able to piggyback on things that were already being used for this purpose but weren’t labeled specifically as breastfeeding spaces.” The third space, at the School of Nursing, is a clinical examination room that is only used at certain times of the year and empty for the rest. “It only gets use at the end of the semester when clinical instructors meet
News – University campuses are often thought of as places filled with young students, partying and having a good time, but many university campuses are also filled with mothers, families and children. To address this second group of university goers and their needs, two Queen’s University School of Nursing students are working to make campus more family and breast-feeding friendly. “We took on the project as part of our community nursing placement,” explained Rachel Hannigan, a second year compressed track nursing student. “We really built off of an idea that our supervisor had and went from there.” Hannigan and her partner, Kyrinne Lockhart, collaborated with supervisor Katie Goldie and certified lactation consultant Alicia Papanicolaou to find a way to make campus more breastfeeding friendly. They initially looked at how to change policy on the issue, but quickly realized that was out of reach for their time frame. “We met with a lot of people around campus and we discovered that policy based changes were really difficult and would take about five years,” said Hannigan. “Instead, we decided to find spaces on campus that were breastfeeding friendly and allow for those who aren’t comfortable breastfeeding in public to have a private space to go, 1. Individualized one on one care in the comfort and also for those of your own home who are pumping and need a space to 2. Around the clock availability, we’re there when do it.” you need us While the students were unable 3. Committed to consistency to research exactly 4. Knowledgeable caregivers with experience in how many students dementia and Alzheimer’s this would benefit because of ethical reasons, they were able to research why many women stop breastfeeding. “We identified returning to work or school as the second biggest reason that wom1379-B Princess Street Kingston en choose to stop 613-767-4204 breast-feeding,” explained Lockwww.limestonecityhomehealthcare.com
with students,” said Lockhart. “It is a really great example of a space that can be multi-purpose. A mother can come to the front desk and ask to use the room, get the keys and use the space.” Response to the rooms has been tough to assess, but both Lockhart and Hannigan have heard from professors and students who wish the rooms had existed before. “We’ve had some great feedback in that sense and we hope that continues,” said Lockhart. “If one student needs the space, it is worth having. We should be accommodating.” The duo hopes that the spaces continue to multiply on campus and they really hope to nail down a space on west campus soon. “We have these two really great rooms, but we are also hoping to find spaces around campus that are like the school of nursing room and aren’t being used all the time and can double as a space for breast-feeding,” said Hannigan. “It is so easy to set it up and Kyrinne Lockhart (left) and Rachel Hannigan in the breast-feeding so beneficial for the students.”

The dance of relationships Continued from page 26
During an evening, her grandfather sang some old tunes. Kenney recorded them. “I’ve had the recording on my phone for two years.” Watching her grandparents fascinated Kenney. “Nowadays, it’s so different,” she said. “How we act when we are alone versus how we act in group settings versus how we are with our best friend having a sleepover, the relationships are all different. These dancers, some are at the age I would never want to go back to in a thousand years. They are being so honest in their performances. Their experiences are taking me back and letting me revisit this chunk of my life that I don’t really want to. It’s making me dive a bit deeper than I thought I would.” She said the title “initially/(un)conditionally” is about meeting someone for the first time. Things could go anywhere, from joy to disaster. During her trip to Thailand she wrote
in her journal about meeting amazing people. “I had the time of my life with them, and I knew I was probably never going to see them again,” she said. “There was just enough time before things start to get complicated. The title is exactly what that is. Initially can lead to other things. That’s why the ‘un’ is in brackets.” Kenney had been wanting to work on a new production for some time, and, when the Juvenis Festival approached her about doing this, she jumped at the opportunity. She’s an experienced performer and has choreographed shorter pieces, but this is her first full-length work. It will be at least 60 minutes long, with no intermission. “I think Kingston needs to see this,” she said. “I want to punch them in the face with dance. I will be happy if the audience leaves loving it or hating it. I will be upset if they have no feeling at all. I want people to leave thinking, and seeing what can be done with contemporary dance interpretations.” This production launches the Juvenis Festival. Kenney promised

Prince, Natasha Prytulka, and Charlotte Tessier. Kenney said that working with Emma Chen has been particularly interesting. “I was her first contemporary dance teacher when she was eight years old at the Kingston School of Dance,” said Kenney. “She’s no longer little Emma. Now she’s a young woman, and I learn more about her every day. It’s super cool to have seen her evolve.” The Juvenis Festival is produced by Blue Canoe Theatrical Productions and supported by the City of Kingston Arts Fund. An Awesome Kingston grant allowed Kenney to take this production to another level. “That grant gave me the ability to take this production to its full potential,” she said. “If you’re doing a show like this, you want it to be great. The grant has allowed that to happen.” Tickets for “initially/(un)conditionally” are available in person at the Grand Theatre Box Office on Princess Street or online at kingstongrand.ca.

that before the evening show there’ll be a bit of a soirée. “I’d love people to come and have a glass of wine and really just enjoy the world of dance,” she said. “The cool thing about live theatre is that you’ll never experience the same thing again. The show will never be the same at different performances. That’s the best part of live theatre.” She said a lot of people in Kingston have never experienced professional contemporary dance. “We have such stunning performance locations in Kingston, but they’re not being taken advantage of,” said Kenney. “We don’t curate the performing arts enough to bring people in. If we had more people doing this kind of work, people wouldn’t have to go away to train.” Kenney’s “initially/(un)conditionally” is a particularly unusual performance as the dancers will be breaking the fourth wall, that imaginary boundary between audience and performer, and, at times, speaking directly to the audience during the show. The dancers in the production include Emma Chen, Elysse Chennette, Sasha French, Cristina Goncalves, Melissa
