News – Local artist, Joanne Gervais, has been a professional artist for nearly 20 years. She started by taking courses and developing her skills, but when the classes were done, she was surprised that there was nothing to help her continue her development as an artist. “I remember joining an artists group but the leader wasn’t very encouraging,” she explained. “We would hang all of our work up to look at it and one day I couldn’t tell which one I did, they all looked the same. I was frustrated, so I decided to start my own group.” Gervais did just that and it has been running successfully ever since. At first the group found it hard to find a location to meet each week, but after a lot
of moving around, Gervais simply invited people into her own home. “It is a casual environment, but we also help each other learn a lot,” she said. “It is exercise for the artist basically.” Gervais compares her classes to athletes practicing at a gym and explains that there aren’t many groups in the area that provide that service to artists. “Artists come here and apply the skills they have learned and develop further. We are more like an apprenticeship group and we teach each other,” she said. “We encourage everyone to develop his or her own style. Everyone needs to develop the basic skills, but in the end they need to develop their own style too and that is what this group is good for.” Continued on page 4

Giving preferential treatment to local South Frontenac business not advisable, says report News — South Frontenac Council voted down a proposal moved by Coun. Mark Schjerning that would give preferential treatment to local businesses at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Schjerning’s motion, which was aimed at developing “policies and procedures related to supporting local businesses,” (i.e. businesses physically located in and operating within the Township of South Frontenac) had been referred to the Corporate Services Committee (CSC) and staff April 5 for research and returned to Council at last week’s meeting. Part of Schjerning’s motion was that Council would be authorized to award a contract or tender to a local firm that was within 5 per cent of the lowest bid, assuming that said business had met all other requirements contained in the tender, request for proposal, request for quotation and have been assessed by staff or consultants that have been engaged by the Township. The proposal would include the awarding of contracts and tenders that have been advertised in accordance with current procedures. However, it turns out that the concept may be beyond Council’s jurisdiction.
In a report, CAO Wayne Orr said: “The CSC met April 15 to consider the resolution. “The committee was briefed on the verbal comments from the Township’s solicitor who indicated that this was a bad idea and not in keeping with best practice. “He further commented that it is a complex issue connected to multiple pieces of legislation including the Discriminatory Business Practices Act, the Federal Competition Act, the Agreement on Internal Trade and the Ontario Quebec Trade and Economic Agreement.” “It looks like Coun. Schjerning’s idea might be illegal,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “But if we want to support the local economy, perhaps we should look at bringing more work in-house.” “If somebody from Ottawa bids on the same job as somebody from here, the local firm should be able to do it for 5 per cent less because they don’t have the associated travel costs,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. In his report, Orr suggested there could be some things the Township could do such as educating local businesses on the Township’s procurement process. For example, staff could hold an annual information session with local businesses to review the procurement process and address general questions.
Another idea was to explore enhanced ways to communicate opportunities such as adding a procurement newsfeed feature to the Township website that would automatically
email anyone who subscribes to it of any new procurement opportunity being posted to the website. Council adopted both suggestions.

Practice makes artists according to portrait and figure artists group Continued from page 1
The group, which usually consists of about 10 to 12 artists, comes together every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Glenburnie. The sessions usually consist of a small lesson, a short posing session with a model and then a longer posing session with a model. Breaks are also mixed into the morning and Gervais welcomes artists with a variety of skill levels to come out. “The beginners find it a bit challenging at first because they want to be doing what the experienced artists are doing, but if they stick with it, they make a lot of progress,” she said. “It is a great learning experience for any artist.” Robyn Johnson has been a member of the group almost since the
beginning. She studied fine arts at Queen’s, but like Gervais, she found that there was nothing to help her keep her arts skills going. “You have to keep your skills going and if you don’t then you lose them,” said Johnson. “These sessions are great and Joanne is great at finding a variety of models. The model could be a musician with a guitar or could be a classic draped model or a street person and you need to figure out how to capture that model. It is always challenging.” Johnson also enjoys the fact that the group is separate from her everyday life and all the things that prevent her from doing art. “It is hard when you get home and the chores need to be done and you have no time,” she said. “This group takes you out of that and you can just
immerse yourself in the art and forget the rest.” For Gervais, the end result of the sessions is always the best part, especially when she sees the look on the artist’s face. “You can see on their faces that they are proud of their work and they are getting it. That is so rewarding,” she said. “I think the group really serves a purpose in the artists community and we are always welcoming.” The Kingston Portrait and Figure Artists Group is always looking for new members and willing models. Cost is $125 per 10 sessions and they run all year round. For more information visit www.joannegervais. com call 613-542-8451 or look for Gervais on Facebook.

Ball hockey popularity at Frontenac Arena pleasant surprise for organizers News — The parking lot was full, the stands were almost full and the rink was packed with ball hockey players at the Frontenac Community Arena last Sunday. This was the second week of the Arena’s new project (ball hockey) in an effort to get more usage out of the building and promote youth fitness at the same time. “This was a ‘tester’ . . . a ‘let’s try it and see,’” said arena manager Tim Laprade. “And now look. “We had been a half-time, SeptemberMarch facility but I wanted to see it used year-round.” Even though registration got going a bit late, they have more than 250 players signed up in five divisions from ages 3-17. Laprade said he ‘put out the call’ in December to see if there was interest and “minor hockey got the ball rolling. “So we had good support from the getgo.” Surprisingly, 75 per cent of the players for the eight-week ball hockey season are not players in the Frontenac Minor Hockey Association’s winter program. But this is welcome news to President Al Pixley. “This is an excellent opportunity to introduce kids to hockey,” Pixley said. “And it keeps them playing all year. “It’s quite inexpensive ($80 for one player, $60 for each additional child in the same family) both with registration and equipment. You only need a stick, a helmet and gloves.” The rules are cut back considerably,
scores aren’t even kept in the two lowest divisions and the only real rulings enforced are staying out of the crease and no high sticks (again at the lowest levels). “Having fun is the first step,” Pixley said. The association even bought some goalie equipment and arranged for coaches and referees. They plan to begin barbecuing at this Sunday’s round of games. The association is hoping the spring ball hockey will lead to increased registration for the ice hockey programs. Rob Edmunds, registrar for the Frontenac Minor Hockey Association, reminds players and parents that registration begins this weekend. “Registering early really helps us with things like identifying the number of teams per age category, recruiting coaches, referees, managers and trainers and getting them the appropriate training, determining ice time requirements and planning for additional development programs such as goalie training and power skating,” In the youngest division, the Frontenac ball hockey project has enough players for six Edmunds said. “It also helps you to take teams with substitutes. Photo/Craig Bakay advantage of three or four month equal payment plans and avoiding the late payment R0013760403 fee ($100 if registering after Aug. 30).” Information on registering for the winter league can be found at www.frontenachockey.ca or by emailing Edmunds at screeech99@gmail. com.

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
Some thoughts, prayers and reminiscences as Fort McMurray burns I lived in Fort McMurray for 2 ½ years in the mid-’80s as a reporter and editor at Fort McMurray Today newspaper and have many fond memories, baseball, jamming, grayling fishing and moose hunting in particular. Fort McMurray is a unique place for many reasons. First of all, there are the oilsands, a geological formation that doesn’t occur too many places in this world. Given humanity’s appetite for oil, it’s no surprise that getting at that resource is the reason there are 60,000 people living there. There’s a lot of oil to be produced there and it takes a lot of people to get it out. And the vast majority of those people come from the rest of the country, in particular from the Maritimes. The old joke was that ‘Fort McMurray is the second largest city in Newfoundland’ and the annual lobster supper was an event not to be missed. Another thing most people don’t realize at how isolated Fort McMurray is. Yes, it’s a city of 60,000 but it’s smack dab in the middle of nowhere. It’s 450 kilometres north of Edmon-
Column — As of this writing, it’s near impossible to keep up with the quantitative numbers regarding the devastation being caused by the raging inferno enveloping Fort McMurray, Alberta. But in three days, more than 1,600 homes have been destroyed along with numerous other buildings — businesses, storage facilities, schools, rec centres. Now, the city itself is/was home to about 60,000 people, the vast majority of whom either work at or provide service industries to the oilsands plants that procure and process the bitumen that permeates most of the ‘rock’ in the area. ‘Rock’ is a bit of a misnomer. Think of sand being held together by gooey tar. That’s what passes for rock in this part of the world. In truth, if you break open a rock from a stream bank and put an open flame to it, it will spark.

ton and yes, there is only one road in and out of it (and one rather modern airport). If you’re driving from Edmonton, the only comfort stops are at Grasslands and Wandering River. Otherwise, it’s bush all the way. But when you get to the city, you find all the amenities (theatres, hospitals, some amazing schools, you name it) you’d expect to find in a city of that size. More amenities actually because the oilsands companies like to keep their employees happy. There’s a concept quite unique to Fort McMurray called ‘golden handcuffs.’ This refers to the fact that many people come there because of the excellent wages intending to make some cash and leave. But they get used to making that much money and are thus ‘handcuffed’ to the place. To think of this place in the clutches of a raging wildfire presents a very surreal image. You know, we used to joke that if a big fire got started, we’d all be toast because of the vast bush and distance from major help. Hang in there McMurray, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Are you prepared for an emergency? Last week was Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) and with the recent wild fires in Fort McMurray, the need for emergency plans and kits were definitely emphasized. EP Week has taken place annually, across Canada, since 1996. Through collaboration with emergency management organizations and local emergency services, the week focuses on creating awareness and asks residents if they are ready to meet the needs of all household members, including pets, for a 72-hour period. The week encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face emergencies. 1. Know the risks – these are things that many of us don’t necessarily think about on a day-to-day basis, but we should all be prepared for things like utility disruptions, extreme weather, fire, hazardous spills or even health emergencies. 2. Make a plan – the government of Canada encourages families to develop and practice a disaster plan with their household. Families should decide where they will gather in a disaster and identify two places, one near the home and the other outside the neighbourhood, to meet. Families should also practice using all exit routes from the house and identify special needs of members like seniors or people with disabilities. 3. Prepare an emergency kit – this kit should help families shelter in-place (at home) for at least 72 hours. The kit can include a variety of items specific to each family, but should include things like flashlights, batteries and chargers, a first aid kit, bottled water, cash, canned goods, an evacuation plan and more. In addition to this kit, it is also recommended that a ‘go bag’ be ready for each individual in case a quick evacuation is necessary. The go bag can contain more personal items like toiletries, copies of important identification documents, photos and things like medication. In addition to these actions, there are a number of resources both locally and nationally that can be accessed to help prepare yourself for an emergency. In Kingston, both the City of Kingston and the Frontenac Paramedics ran a number of awareness activities last week and both www.cityofkingston.ca and www.frontenaccounty.ca are an excellent resource to learn more. Emergency preparedness is no joke and while it may seem insignificant now, that can change very quickly.

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for the Kingston Frontenac Public Library’s new Patron Code of Conduct. So strong is my endorsement that I would like to suggest a similar code be applied to all public institutions and spaces in our fair city. Loitering is a scourge, as the Library Board has correctly identified. Any
person in any public space should—as the new Code of Conduct requires—be actively engaged in the use of public services. Consider this: on a recent visit to one of our city’s public parks, I viewed not one, but two, different individuals who were completely asleep on checkered Vice President & Regional Publisher Mikepeople Mount blankets. Shockingly, even those mmount@perfprint.ca who were awake in the park appeared 613-283-3182, ext. 104
completely aimless, sitting on benches, staring at trees, listening to birds, or engaged in idle chat-chat. This is unacceptable. In my opinion, those people should have been expelled from the park, as by their very presence they were interfering with my enjoyment of the space.

Pet first aid course to support Humane Society
Letter to the editor
New Library Code of Conduct should apply city-wide Continued from page 8
This past Sunday I walked past a mother carrying an excessive number of bags filled to the brim, no doubt, with groceries, and probably diapers and children’s drawings and who knows what else. She took up nearly a third of the width of the sidewalk, forcing me to walk within several feet of her children. Why, I must ask, are such people allowed to have the run of our public streets? Why must they carry their many bags hither and thither? I would never act in such a way. When my personal shopper is unavailable and I must procure my own groceries I buy—at most—an espresso and a single grape. Dear reader, let me emphasize one final area where the Library’s Code of Conduct must rightly apply: the necessity of proper appearance.
I recently visited a friend at Kingston General Hospital after she had an unfortunate incident involving a Peruvian escritoire. Thanks to her stylist my friend was perfectly coiffed, but the building was otherwise full of all sorts of disheveled people, moaning and demanding water or simply laying in bed doing nothing. (And do not get me started on the smells!) The hospital should apply the Library’s new Code of Conduct post-haste, and expel those poorlydressed layabouts so the hospital can be properly enjoyed by people who put at least some effort into their appearance. I hope that the Mayor and Council will act swiftly to put this Code of Conduct into effect across the City. Sincerely, Cynthia MorewhetherHampton-Smythe

Events – First aid training is always important. Knowing how to perform CPR on a family member or properly bandage a bad cut can be life saving, but what about if something happens to the furry members of your family? That is where Dr. Joelle Ouellett from the Princess Animal Hospital comes in. For the past four years, Ouellett has been working with the Humane Society in Kingston to teach pet owners about first aid for animals. “It is kind of like a crash course for animal first aid,” explained Ouelett. “It is condensed and designed to give pet owners an idea of the things they can do in emergency situations to help their animal.” This year the course takes place on Sunday, May 15, and will focus mainly on first aid for dogs, but some of the skills learned can be applied to cats and smaller animals. Ouelett will also be joined by Dr. Daniel Cudle from the Downtown Animal Hospital who will also focus more on first aid for pocket pets. “He has a bit more experience with pocket pets so we have added a bit about rats, bunnies, hamsters and guinea pigs and a bit on birds too,” said Ouelett. “It is

kind of a comprehensive session.” This year marks the fifth year that the Humane Society has offered these sessions. They began after vets in the area saw a need for simple animal first aid training in their offices. “The goal is to provide information and some knowledge to pet owners. It can be something as simple as how to approach a dog that is in pain and how to protect yourself so the dog doesn’t bite you,” said Ouelett. “We also give tips on how to transport an injured dog to the veterinarian without injuring them further or how to bandage a deep laceration before heading to the vet.” The course is three hours long and runs in an informal way with an information session in the first half and then hands-on training in the second half. “We also invite questions throughout,” said Ouelett. “We want pet owners to get as much as they can out of the session.” At the end of the session, each participant goes home with a starter first aid kit for their pets complete with things like tick twisters, ointments, bandages and eye cleansing solution. Ouelett and Cudle will also offer suggestions on things to add to the kit. “They can add things like Benadryl for allergic reactions, a list of emergency numbers and stuff that is easy to put together and easy to access in a
time of need,” said Ouelett. The course costs $50 for participants, but all of that fee, minus the cost for the first aid kits, goes back to the Humane Society to help support the work they do. “Many animals come to the humane society and need additional care and medications or grooming,” explained Sharon McGrath, fundraising and communication coordinator at the Kingston Humane Society. “All of our animals are adopted out spayed or neutered so there is a cost associated with that and on average, an animal at the humane society will cost about $500 while it is in our care. This money goes a long way to help with that.” Feedback for the first aid course has been great in past years and in some years a second class had to be offered to meet demand. Ouelett hopes this year is also successful. “People really enjoy that it is a comfortable environment and we discuss with them and it isn’t just a stuffy classroom,” she said. “I think it makes the pet owners feel really empowered.” The Humane Society animal first aid course takes place on Sunday May 15, at the Ongwanada Auditorium from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Registration is required and those interested are asked to visit the Humane Society or call them at 613-546-1291 ext. 102.

South Frontenac to convert three roads to gravel until they can be reconstructed By Craig Bakay
News — South Frontenac Council approved up to $25,000 to pulverize various sections of Township roads that cannot effectively be patched any more from the Working Reserve Fund at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The roads in question are Randy Clark Road from Battersea Road west 1.5 kilometres, York Road in its entirety and Buck Bay Road from 300 metres north of Westport Road to White Lake Road. Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth said hard topped roads in the Township are reviewed each year after the frost leaves for an “assessment of stress” over the winter. The three roads recommended for treatment are because “they essentially cannot be cold or hot patched any longer. “From a cost effective point of view, it makes more sense to pulverize the surface and essentially maintain these sections as loose top roads until they are reconstructed,” Segsworth said. Buck Bay Road and York Road are scheduled for reconstruction in 2017 and Randy Clark Road is slated for 2018. Segsworth estimated the area of road surface to be pulverized between 50,000 and 75,000 square metres and the rate at $0.35/square
metre. “It’s been an ‘interesting’ winter and spring,” Segsworth said. “We’ve had a lot of freeze-thaw cycles and the roads are ‘mushier’ than normal.” Council was generally supportive. “I’ve had a lot of complaints about Buck Bay Road,” said Coun. Pat Barr. “This seems like a good idea. “People have asked ‘why are you patching that when it doesn’t do any good?’” “I’ve had a lot of complaints about Randy Clark Road,” said Coun. Wayne Roberts. “I support this.” ••• Council gave its support to Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough becoming Fire Coordinator for KingstonFrontenac-Lennox & Addington. Chesebrough has been Deputy Fire Coordinator since 2015 and acting coordinator since the end of 2015. “Do we know how much time the job requires and does that impact the report we had recommending he get an assistant?” said Coun. Ron Sleeth. “There is a requirement that would take him out of the office for large fires such as the recent one in downtown Kingston but they don’t happen all the time,” said CAO Wayne Orr. “There should be a measurable time commitment,” said Mayor Ron
Vandewal. ••• Council postponed a decision on revising its Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw until June 7 in at the request of Coun. Wayne Roberts. “I will be away for the previous meeting and I definitely want to vote on this one,” Roberts said. The Zoning Bylaw changes include the controversial rebuilding provision for grandfathered lakefront lots within 30 metres of the high water mark.

Councilors won’t be allowed to ask questions or debate at public meetings By Craig Bakay
All aboard
Did you know there’s also national and international news on our website? R0013602431
News — A proposal to allow Council members to ask questions of speakers and comment at public meetings in South Frontenac was defeated at Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. The motion came from Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland, who essentially wanted the option to ask speakers questions at public meetings and comment if deemed appropriate. “I think it’s respectful for us to comment,” Sutherland said. “It shows we’re listening.” The meetings Sutherland was specifically addressing were the statutory public meetings held under the Planning Act, such as those dealing with a proposed plan of subdivision or plan of condominium. In such meetings, the mayor asks for comments from the public after the Planner has given his report. Generally, the developer is also given an opportunity to address some of the comments from the public, usually after all those wishing to speak have had an opportunity to do so. Sutherland drew comparisons to deputations given at Committee of the Whole (COW) meetings where presenters are allowed 10 minutes (or more with the permission of Council) followed by questions and comments from Council. However, CAO Wayne Orr said in his report that deputations at COW and public meetings are two different things and are recognized as such in the Township’s procedural bylaw.
“Individuals/organizations/firms who are formal delegations to a COW meeting are given 10 minutes to speak followed by questions from Council,” Orr said. “Think of Strategy Corp presenting the organizational review or the County speaking on updates. “While not stated in the bylaw, this is what happens.” But it is different at a statutory public meeting, he said. “The public is not a formal delegation,” Orr said. “The Planner presents his report and questions for the Planner are taken from Council. “Councilors may also have comments to express (think about your feedback on Collins Lake).” He said that recently, Council has taken to having the developer present their own take on the proposal with questions taken from Council. Previously, the developer was left to offer comments as a member of the public, often at the end of the public’s comments to respond to some of the issues raised. “Occasionally questions of clarity are taken during the public comments Workers erected a new train themed play structure for kids at Sharbot Lake’s Railway Heritage Park last such as ‘are you located on the north week. Photo/Craig Bakay or south side of the road,’” Orr said. “(But) what is not meant to happen is debate between member of Council and the public, for example ‘what did you mean by . . . or does that study indicate . . .? “The intent of the public meeting is to gather comment, not resolve the issues nor to have a debate. “The debate comes later, when Council is asked to recommend draft www.kingstonregion.com/kingstonregion-news/ plan conditions.”

Warm feelings turn to community outrage after perceived about-face by Library Board Chair and community organizations that clearly show the public’s disapproval of the proposed new Code of Conduct. The Board Chair’s response in the media was bewildering and deeply troubling to me. This to me indicates deeper problems at the library than just the Code of Conduct issue.” The Reverend added: “But I feel very hopeful that these problems are information that we can use to build health and vitality, inclusion and anti-oppression for patrons and staff in the library. This is an opportunity for community engagement. I trust that the majority of the Board will seize this opportunity.” When approached by The Heritage, Richardson said that she stands by the comments she made in the WhigStandard, in that the intent of the Code of Conduct as it was crafted will not change. “Our intent is unchanged: to provide staff the tools and clearer guidelines so they can better maintain a safe space and serve people, especially those in crisis. I also believe the community reaction expressed so quickly and by so many speaks to the high regard that the public library is held in Kingston-Frontenac, as a service and as public space.” She added that the majority of the comments spoke to how much patrons value the library not only for themselves and their families, but also for all the other members of our community. “These
values are completely in line with those of the Public Library, and each member of its staff and its board.” When asked about leaving the meeting to give a CBC interview, Richardson said she did not intend to be absent and had expected the presentation to be over by the time of the 5:15 interview: “Delegations are generally given 1015 minutes; this one started later than anticipated, and we chose (at the meeting) to allow other questions and comments from the interested public, thus it went well over the time anticipated.” Richardson noted that this has been a particularly stressful and difficult time for KFPL staff and its patrons. “KFPL and its staff has provided excellent, compassionate and lifechanging help to its patrons for decades, and the patrons have been served with dignity, kindness and a genuine interest in facilitating access to resources in support of personal enrichment, life-long learning and community interaction, in person or in virtual space,” she said, adding “I regret any anxiety, confusion or discomfort that this may have caused.” In an interview on Friday, Mayor Bryan Paterson called the community concerns “legitimate.” “You want to make sure you address those issues in a way that is still inclusive, so that everybody can still feel welcome in a library.” However, the Mayor stopped short

There were a lot of happy faces in the room after the Library Board voted to defer a widely-opposed new Code of Conduct during a packed community meeting on Wednesday, April 27. But those good feelings have turned to deep concern in the days since, as Library Board Chair Claudette Richardson seemed to abandon promises of meaningful consultation. Kingston Frontenac Public Library’s new Code of Conduct has received national media attention and controversy over concerns that it would exclude marginalized people, especially the homeless. The Kingston community voiced those concerns strongly at last Wednesday’s Library Board meeting, where over a hundred members of the public—including small business owners, professors, community service providers, and regular library patrons—joined to condemn the proposed changes. But after the meeting had ended, Library Board Chair Richardson gave an interview to the Whig-Standard in which she appeared to dismiss the community concerns. “Frankly, the intent of the code of conduct as it was crafted will not change,” Richardson said, adding that the words “everyone is welcome” would not be put back into the Code of Conduct. During the packed meeting Richardson temporarily abandoned her role as
chair and left the room to give a media interview. As a result, she missed hearing most of the community presentations and the Board’s own discussion on Councillor Jim Neill’s motion to shelf the unpopular new Code of Conduct. Many community members were displeased by Richardson’s behaviour during and after the meeting. The group Libraries are for Everyone posted a statement “to condemn in the strongest terms possible” Richardson’s comments after the meeting, and asked for a prompt response and clarification from the Library as to whether Richardson was speaking for the whole Board. A statement from the Library on Friday afternoon reiterated the Board’s intent to consult, but did not clarify or retract Richardson’s comments. Matt Silburn, who gave a community presentation at the meeting, asked what the point of consultation was if the Board had no intent of listening: “I question the ability of Ms. Richardson and her supporters to function effectively on the Board when they are so out of touch with the community. They seem indifferent to widespread public outrage and the vision of the library that was expressed clearly at the meeting Wednesday night.” The Reverend Wendy Luella Perkins was also concerned, saying: “We’ve seen inspiring comments and delegations and presentations from community members

of promising intervention from City Hall before the library did its own due diligence, saying the the Library Board was an arm’s-length body. “Councillor [Jim] Neill is our Council representative, and I think that he has been doing a good job of communicating Council’s concerns and priorities at the Library Board table,” Paterson said. However, questions have been raised about KFPL’s governance structure, oversight, and community accountability. “We can’t go back to business as usual,” community member Matthew Gventer said on Wednesday. “You look at this room and see so many people who are appalled at what happened. We have to ask: how did that happen?” Gventer said the governance model of the library had to change. The Library Board also voted 6-4 to keep Library administrator salaries off the sunshine list, despite a motion for transparency from Jim Neill. Library Board members are appointed by the municipality and serve 4-year terms that match the sitting City Council, meaning the current Board will serve until 2018. The Library Board Chair is elected annually, typically in December. Ms. Richardson has served as Chair since 2007. Many city committees have a term limit of six years, but KFPL has no such limits.

Going the distance for colorectal cancer By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
News – In 2006, Nicole Chuchmach lost her mother, Sophie, to colorectal cancer. To cope with her anger during her mother’s fight and after, Chuchmach ran. She’s still running today, but for a different reason. On April 14, Chuchmach and her friend Natalie Atkinson set out on a running journey from Humber College in North Toronto to Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The journey, entitled ‘Sophie’s Run’, is more than 500 kilometers in length and they hope to create awareness about colorectal cancer along the way. “We’re running to create awareness about colorectal cancer and how important early screening is,” explained Chuchmach during a stop at Kingston General Hospital on May 3. “My mom didn’t go in early enough. She had signs and symptoms of the disease, but she was embarrassed to go to the doctor’s and because of that they caught it too late.” According to the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada (CCAC), colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in Canada each year. The cancer affects both men and women, but with early detection it’s 90 per cent curable. Even with this high rate of curability, nearly 10,000 Canadians will die from the cancer this year.

Going the distance for colorectal cancer Continued from page 13
“It always amazes me what people ignore. Usually it is nothing, but sometimes it isn’t,” said Hugh Langley, primary care lead at the Cancer Centre for Southeastern Ontario. Symptoms of colorectal cancer can include blood in stool, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite and more and Langley agrees that awareness is key when it comes to cancer. “Screening is recommended for anyone over the age of 50 and
yet the numbers of those who take advantage of that screening aren’t as high as they should be.” According to Langley, about 70 per cent of people in Southeastern Ontario are getting tested for colorectal cancer over the age of 50, but that means that 30 per cent are not. “Like cervical screening or breast cancer screening, this needs to become something that is checked for,” he said. “I applaud these girls for bringing attention to that and if it helps just one person today then their effort is well worth it.”
While the journey has been a bit challenging thus far, this isn’t the first time Chuchmach and Atkinson have taken on a run for Sophie. “We actually ran from Milton, Ontario to New York City eight years ago for the same cause,” explained Chuchmach. “It was effective and therapeutic and so we thought we’d do it again in support of the CCAC.” Response to the run has been great so far and Chuchmach has enjoyed meeting people, especially those dealing with cancer, along the way. “It motivates

us to know that we are doing something for them,” she said. “Even if we are affecting one person on each stop that we make, that is huge. We really just want people to get diagnosed early and not be afraid, that is the most important message.” The girls hope to arrive on Parliament Hill on May 16 and they hope to create more awareness while they are there. “We are hoping to get some attention in Ottawa for this issue and the screening process. I think we need to start screening earlier,” said Chuchmach. “I lost my mother and then my grandmother

Racing legend Mario Andretti visits Kingston reckless drive, that’s one thing I would not do, you know, weaving in and out and endangering people.” Though his visit was short-lived (he had arrived from Indianapolis the previous night and would be heading to Simcoe the next day) the star spoke favourably of the response he’d already received from local fans. “The people of Kingston have been great to me, and Canadians in general are just so friendly, there’s something about them…So many race fans, a lot of knowledge of our sport, a lot of interest, and I feel it (when visiting).” Andretti was grateful also for the entire city’s hospitality, and in Mario– Mario Andretti with Bill and Erik Fielding of Fielding’s Tire. Photo/Cris Vilela particular to the effort that Fielding’s Tire put towards organizing the event. “I love to visit when there are generations involved in the business,” he said. “I sort of identify with that in what I have in my family, you know, in continuing in the sport. That’s something that we have in common.” Andretti’s promotional team spoke warmly of the Kingston reception as well, enthusing that this visit was the best-attended event they’ve had so far in Canada. Indeed, Andretti left the city with everyone looking forward to his speedy return.

Hundreds of Kingstonians were awestruck throughout the morning of Thursday, May 5 at Fielding’s Tire on Princess Street as racing legend Mario Andretti visited the city. Andretti spent the entire morning speaking with fans and autographing everything from hats, sports cards and books to vehicle fenders that people brought in. He reminisced about his humble beginnings on the racing scene and how the sport has changed over the years. “Luckily I got a seat with one of the big three teams (early on),” he recounted. “They hired me because their main driver got hurt, and that’s the way it worked in those days, the new guy got a chance when the main guy got hurt. What worked for me was that the veterans are usually set in their ways…and the engineers liked the fresh input that I was giving them, and I was giving them a lot of input, so they kept me on.” “Nowadays, a lot of those things are done on the computer, with technology, and the engineers of today know exactly what’s going on with the car from their laptop.” He also spent some time talking to the crowd about driving safety. Despite his driving prowess, Andretti leaves aggressive driving on the racetrack. In fact, he confirmed that hasn’t received Established 1876 a speeding ticket since 1968, and not just because Local People providing Local People with he would uniquely be able to answer FARM • HOME • AUTO in the affirmative • CONDOMINIUM • COMMERCIAL should a traffic enforcement • INSURANCE officer ask: “Who do you think 24 Hour Emergency Claim Response 1-800-722-9556 you are, Mario Andretti?” While admitting that he might not always be 100 per cent faithful to the speed limit, he acknowledged that everyone, Harrowsmith Office Napanee Office including himself, has limitations 613-372-2980 613-354-4810 and that the law is there for a good www.l-amutual.com reason. “I don’t

Students assist duck family in journey to water For the seventh year in a row, a mama duck chose the courtyard of St. John XXIII Catholic School in Kingston’s west end to lay her eggs and raise her young family - which includes 13 ducklings this year - for the first several weeks of their lives. But there comes a time when wee ducklings must be led to water and learn the ways of their species. That’s where the John XXIII students come in. Since the courtyard is enclosed by the school, the duck family must make its way through the building, across the lawn and down Mona Drive to the swampy area at Collins Bay Creek. The students form a human wall the entire way there, blocking off any potential traffic and guiding mama and babies down to the swamp. This year, the tradition took place on May 5.

Veterans, PTSD sufferers find community in cannabis at Marijuana for Trauma tres also host occupational therapy, yoga, meditation, art and music therapy and ever-popular peer nights, where clients get together to connect and share stories. “The community aspect of it is amazing,” Brown says of the peer nights. “We haven’t seen this many veterans in a room since we were overseas. If you take a look at our patient roster we probably have people who have been deployed on every overseas operation since the Second World War – including, actually, the Second World War. It’s incredible.” Collins says he made 64 new friends at his first peer support night. “I can’t even count the number of hugs that I got, Mike Collins, “IC” of Kingston’s new Marijuana for Trauma centre. Photo/Hollie Prattand I was the new guy. I didn’t know a soul there. Our Campbell peer support nights are not folks sitting around telling war stories, grumbling, upsetting each other. There were 65 veterans there and I didn’t hear one story about Afghanistan.” He laughs, noting that they all seem to go from Building Centre straight-forward soldiers to “a lot hippie.” OUR “There are times where we just go out and walk TH barefoot in the grass just so we can connect with the dirt again… It’s hard to get upset when you’re standing in a circle with six guys all talking about how they took their kid to a park for the first time.” Brown says that opening the latest location in Kingston was an easy choice. “It’s been a military town since its inception and it’s a high deployment base. A lot of the units in the area are deployed overseas constantly to some of the most obscure, remote parts of the world. So there’s a lot of FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS need in Kingston.” Collins looks forward to working with the community to help others who are struggling turn their lives around. “We were all in the military for a reason and generally speaking it’s because we wanted to help people,” he says. “We wanted to leave the world a better place. We wanted to stop the bad guys. Well, we have that same passion [here] and it’s always for my brother, for (613) 542-4957 ∙ 1149 JOHN COUNTER BLVD, KINGSTON ∙ glensupply.ca my sister, for the people beside me. “When you’ve got that family, that connection, it’s LUMBER ∙ PLYWOOD ∙ SIDING ∙ TRIM ∙ WINDOWS ∙ DOORS ∙ HARDWARE hard to have a bad day at work.”

News - For Mike Collins, medical cannabis has been a life-changer. “Like my t-shirt says, ‘plants not pills’,” he says. “I really believe in that.” The 14-year Canadian Forces veteran medicates with several different kinds of cannabis, including a topical cream he makes himself, which allows him to relieve the arthritis pain caused by injuries he sustained while serving, and two different kinds of cannabis – one for daytime, one for night, that help him manage chronic pain, anxiety, nightmares, night sweats and more. “Medical cannabis saved my marriage,” he remarks. “There’s no other way to put it.” And, he says, he’s not alone. “I’ve watched people who used to be shut-ins get off the pharmaceuticals, switch to medical cannabis and now they’re taking their kids to the hockey games, they’re they’re out shopping with their wives, they’re out doing family vacations again.” As the IC (“In Charge”) of the new Marijuana for Trauma centre in Kingston, Collins hopes to help other veterans, as well as an increasing number of first responders and other front line workers suffering from PTSD or related illnesses, find a similar path. Marijuana for Trauma Kingston opened May 2 at 496 Discovery Avenue, Unit 9. The national company began in New Brunswick in 2013 and has quickly expanded throughout Canada; their motto, ‘Veterans Helping Veterans’, speaks for itself. MFT is not a dispensary, and focuses primarily on providing assistance a sense of community for veterans and other community members who medicate with cannabis. “Marijuana is surprisingly about 10 per cent of what we actually do,” says Andrew Brown, co-founder and vice president of MFT Ontario. The organization offers clients assistance in obtaining and using medical cannabis, as well help navigating veterans’ affairs paperwork and programs; the cen-

Key and Peele turn absurd storyline into complete hilarity By Mark Haskins
MOVIE: Keanu STARRING: Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Will Forte and Luis Guzman DIRECTOR: Peter Atencio RATING: 14A Keanu is the story of what one man and his cousin are willing to do to rescue a kitten that’s been stolen by drug dealers. Seriously, that’s what Keanu is about. It’s absurd, but it totally works. We open on a church taken over by a gang using it to make and sell drugs. In walk two obviously dangerous individuals who begin shooting everyone. It’s a stunning action scene akin to something out of The Matrix or Hard Boiled. In the midst of it all is a small kitten who escapes the carnage. Looking for a home the kitten finds himself on the doorstep of Rell (Jordan Peele). Having recently been dumped by his girlfriend Rell immediately takes in the small animal, and names him Keanu. Not long
after his cousin and best friend Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) comes over to commiserate, and take Rell out for a movie. When they get back Rell’s place has been trashed, and Keanu is missing. The police come, but offer little help. Rell goes next door to his neighbour and dealer Hulka (Will Forte) to see if he knows anything. It turns out a street gang looking for Hulka might have mixed up the address. There’s no way Rell is going to leave Keanu in the hands of drug dealers. So logically Rell and Clarence, two unassuming middle class guys, decide to infiltrate a hard core street gang to save a kitten. Ya, that makes sense. The absurdity of Keanu is mind blowing. If you saw the idea on paper there’s no way you would make this into a feature film. Yet this is one of the funniest action-comedies I’ve seen. These guys can draw you right in to whatever they’re doing. You believe it even to the point where taking on a street gang to rescue a kitten makes a kind of sense, and yet deep down you know it’s crazy. Yet you want it to happen because it’s suddenly the funniest thing you’ve ever seen. As a huge fan of Key and Peele I was pretty excited when I heard they
were making a movie. Needless to say they did not disappoint. KeeganMichael Key has such incredible expression, and an uncanny ability to flip from suburban speak to street speak, Jordan Peel has wicked delivery, and drops some of the funniest lines to grace any action or comedy
There’s
movie. When they’re together they know no bounds and know no limits. Key and Peele take up most of the screen time, but they also surround themselves with a great supporting cast. Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Will Forte, Nia Long, and Luis Guzman all commit, and are fantastic.
Keanu isn’t just a great comedy. They pull out all the stops to make a wicked action movie. Gun fights, car chases, back flips, you name it they did it, and they did it with style. A definite must-see. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Driver wants true hands free connectivity By Brian Turner
“Hi Brian, I don’t know if you’re able to help but I’m banging my head at this point and I don’t know what else to do. Basically, I leased a new 2015 Honda Civic, and it doesn’t work like the 2014 or the 2016 does in terms of Bluetooth calling (cell phone connectivity).
The problem as far as I can see, is that it doesn’t like any phone manufactured after 2012 or so, and in a 2015 car that’s ridiculous. See, when I drive my fiance’s 2014 Civic, and you tell it to call Bob, it calls Bob right off the bat. Not so in the 2015, and I’ve tried it with voice tags, with different people doing it, I tried it in an iPhone 5s and later when they told me it was my phone and not the

car, I went to Rogers to get a new phone, a galaxy s7, and it doesn’t work either. Call Bob works on an iPhone 4 and a galaxy s5, but not a single phone made after 2012. What it does instead is bring up Bob’s contact info, and you then have to press on the screen to call, which defeats the purpose of hands free calling, and is an extra step that you shouldn’t have to take. As it is my first car and still getting used to driving full time, hands-free calling is a big deal as I try not to take my eyes off the road. I won’t even look at my phone when I get a text. I’ve gone to two different dealerships and spent seven hours combined trying to get them to address this, and time on the phone with Honda Canada and it comes down to it does what it’s supposed to do; you just have to take the extra step to push the name on the screen. In my opinion, that’s not hands free, and it doesn’t do what it does on the 2014 or 2016. At the end of the day though, I just want my stupid car to work like it’s supposed to, and if it doesn’t for them to fix it or give me a new one, and they don’t want to do either. SL Our reader got in touch with Honda Canada on more than one occasion and I emailed his concerns to their head office. While this might seem to some to be a first-world problem, we all want safer roads and good working and well integrated cell phone/vehicle links are critical to that end. And whether you agree or not, a large percentage of us are becoming more and more reliant on wireless communication and information services with the vast majority of this group upgrading to new, more advanced phones every two or three years or less. Our reader indicated to me he would consider upgrading his Civic to a 2016 model for improved and safer functionality, regard-

less of the costs. My questions to Honda were simple; did our reader accurately assess their response to the concerns? Does the 2015 Civic have these problems functioning with the phones mentioned? With consumers relying more and more on their communication devices and with large numbers of them switching to upgraded mode on a regular basis, isn’t is reasonable for them to expect that the number one selling car in Canada can keep up with these changes? And finally I supplied a list of the top five smart phones sold in Canada and asked if the 2015 Civic could offer full functional connectivity and interface with them. This was the response I got; ”Thank you for contacting Honda Canada. Honda has reviewed the customer’s concerns and although there may be differences between the Bluetooth hands-free interfaces across model years, we do not believe there is any product defect associated with the link in the customer’s 2015 Honda Civic. As phones and their technology evolve, Honda is committed providing a seamless phone-to-vehicle integration. Information on the Bluetooth link and a search function of compatible phones are available at www.honda.ca/bluetooth. Please note that the list of phones shown on the website have been tested. Phones are not listed on the website may be in the testing phase. The site will be updated as additional phone confirmation results become available.” Regards, Maki Inoue Supervisor, Public Relations & Shows - Auto Honda Canada Inc. Continued on page 24

I suppose it’s a testament to what an easy pregnancy I’ve had (so far, touch wood) that the most stressful part by a long shot is getting weighed at each visit to the doctor. When I’m not pregnant, I weigh myself maybe once or twice per year, usually after a bad bout of the flu. I realize few people who look at me would see someone who is overweight, but it’s still a sensitive subject. Growing up, I was always bigger than most other girls my age – tall and ‘big boned’, as my parents loved to put it. During my teens and early 20s, I struggled with a variety of disordered eating patterns, which I managed to bring under control by my mid-20s by developing a passion for eating healthy, whole foods. I still wouldn’t say I love my body, but if I don’t think about it too hard I can usually feel somewhat at peace with how I look and grateful to be in good health. The trouble is, when you’re pregnant you’re forced to think about it. Hard. All the time. Your weight and your body are under constant scrutiny by doctors and a lot of the pregnancy literature that’s out there is extremely focused on gaining
‘the right amount of weight’. Every few days I scan the What to Expect app on my phone or click on the Baby Centre newsletter that comes to my inbox. I haven’t done any studies on it or anything, but I’d guess a good third of these articles have to do with weight gain. How much is too much (complete with handy charts breaking down exactly how much weight you ‘should’ gain based on what you weighed prepregnancy); how many extra calories you should be taking in at which point in your pregnancy to make sure you gain exactly the ‘correct’ amount of weight; etc. My personal favourite, called Dessert Eating During Pregnancy, came up on the What to Expect app a few months ago. It reads “Try not to save room for that Mississippi mud pie and instead fill up before dessert…Your name won’t be mud if you do end up giving into the mud pie (as long as you’re not giving in every day) but you’ll feel better in the morning if you stop at a few bites before passing the dessert (and the calories) to the other end of the table.” Are you kidding me? For women with histories of disordered eating (and there are a lot of us from my generation) this post is a nightmare. As is having to count calories and figure out exactly how many extra I need based on my daily activity and the amount of calories I consumed pre-pregnancy. After gaining more weight than

Driver wants true hands free connectivity Continued from page 22
Honda certainly isn’t alone with these issues and many consumers have had to switch cell phones when they purchased or leased a new vehicle to get the interactivity they want and/or need. My advice would be that anyone shopping for
a new vehicle takes their current phone to the dealership to fully connect it to test its compatibility with the product(s) they’re interested in. Download your phone-book and check how easy it is to make hands-free calls. Have someone call you to learn how to answer and to find out how audible incoming and outgoing transmissions really are. If you’re

Take pleasure in a legal high thought. Another plane was on approach, and I had to either go to full throttle or make some poor sod abort a landing. I pushed the throttle to max. Seconds later, I was pulling back on the column and up we (the plane and I, minus Ms. Parker) went. While ascending toward cruising altitude, all I could think was, «At some point, I have to get this thing back on the ground.» That thought provides a powerful adrenaline rush. If you don›t want to be quite so adventurous or spend the hours and dollars to become a pilot, you can still enjoy being up in the air. Sure, you can gain an aerial view via a drone. Pffft. To quote Alex Morritt: “Owning a drone does not a pilot make.” The view from above is only part of it. You need to feel the womp of wind on the wings of a small plane or the whoosh through the air or the thwawp thwawp thwawp of a helicopter›s movement through the space above the ground. How about the excitement of g-forces during a turn (or a dive or spin!). Michael Parfit used the word magic to describe the phenomenon of flight. Magic is simply the process of working with science and nature in ways the human brain cannot yet fathom. Two centuries ago, if anyone had witnessed a plane or helicopter in the sky, it could only have been described as magical. It›s a simple concept, this thing called flight. The dynamics involved in allowing heavier-thanair objects to fly baffled minds for

Take pleasure in a legal high has aerial tours. One of the most exciting flights you can imagine is over New York City. If you›re heading there, I›d highly recommend Helicopter Flight Services (heliny.com). Their state-of-the-art helicopters not only give you the best ride imaginable, their crystal clear windows offer you great opportunities to create breathtaking photographs and videos. Locally, Kingston companies offer small plane or helicopter tours over the 1000 islands as well as day trips to places like Prince Edward County wine country. If you›re planning a staycation thing this summer, you could do no better for adventure than a helicopter ride over eastern Ontario. We live in such a beautiful region.

Once a plane is in the air, all it needs to do to remain airborne is maintain a certain airspeed. As for helicopters, the explanation of the lift involved would require an entire text on its own. Sometimes it›s better to just trust the decades of research that›s gone into the creation of these amazing aircraft, which don›t even need wings to fly. Just how safe is flying? When I took up flying and informed my insurance company, it did not alter my rates at all. No one knows safety and risks more than actuaries. If you want to explore a region from 1000 feet above the land, or much higher, without first becoming a pilot, where to start? I›d recommend a helicopter tour, simply because it›s such a unique experience.

bridges, our downtown, Confederation Harbour, each of these is worth witnessing from the air. There›s also the beauty of the Rideau Canal locks and you have to fly no farther than Kingston Mills to see the stunning natural landscape within which we live. If you›ve never flown in a small plane, it›s a very different experience than riding in a commercial jet. For a start, you feel your environment much more intensely, in a good way. As for helicopters, they›re like the sports cars of the air. You are also incredibly safe in the air, safer than in the car you drive to the airport. An aerial tour is a thrilling adventure you will never forget. It›s a perfectly legal high that beats any chemically enhanced mild-altering journey. Rather than numb or alter your senses

News - Ayat Al Khalaf is a brand new mom in a brand new country. On Feb. 2, she arrived in Kingston nearly seven months pregnant, after eeing her war-torn home country of Syria and subsequently spending ďŹ ve long years in a refugee camp in Lebanon. On May 2, her infant son, Ahmad, was born at 3 a.m. at Kingston General Hospital. Medical staff were assisted by a translator provided by the hospital, and mother and baby are both doing well. “It’s a very unbelievable feeling,â€? says Ayat of new motherhood. “I’m not very scared, I just feel very happy right now.â€? She adds that she’s thrilled her son was born on Canada soil: “I have very high hopes for my son to get educated and have a very good life here in Canada.â€? She says that she’s already noticed a big difference in her own quality of life over the last couple of months living in Canada. “Before arriving here the environ-
She adds that she’s been particularly encouraged by her experience so far here in Kingston. “Seeing the community and how supportive and helpful people are and seeing that people are happy that we are here, that makes me very happy and grateful.� Turkiya notes that her happiness will be complete once her entire family, including 13 children, the other 10 grandchildren and all of her daughters’ husbands, are safe and together in Canada. Eight of her children are already in the country, but others are still in Lebanon waiting to come over. “My hope is for them to get educated and to learn the language and to have a brighter future here in Canada – a future that they wouldn’t have been able to Syrian baby - Ayat and Turkiya Al Khalaf with baby Ahmad.

The congregation of the First Baptist Church in Kingston also assisted with the sponsorship.

ment wasn’t very great. In Lebanon it was very chaotic and I wasn’t really at ease. Since coming to Canada it’s got better.â€? Ahmad’s arrival is in a way somewhat bittersweet, however; Ayat’s husband is still in Lebanon awaiting conďŹ rmation of his refugee status, and thus missed the birth of his ďŹ rst child. “I called him to let him know,â€? Ayat says. “It was very sentimental. He cried a lot and he was very sad that he missed this moment.â€? She remarks that her husband’s safe arrival is really the only thing she’s worried about at this time. They last saw each other several months ago when Ayat left Lebanon. “It’s very exciting to be here and to start a new life with a newborn baby, but I can’t really think about or look forward to the future until my family is complete. That’s the only thing that I’m thinking of right now.â€? Ayat’s mother, Turkiya Al Khalaf, is in Kingston, however, and was very excited to welcome Ahmed, her 11th grandchild. The ďŹ rst words the proud grandmother uttered when she picked up the newborn baby were reportedly “Canadian, Canadian!â€? “I’m very happy and excited that he was born in Canada and I’m very grateful and honoured for the Canadian government and the Canadian people who treated us with respect and kindness,â€? she says.

Bologna was a special treat when visiting Briscoe’s General Store Briscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County. If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store. Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept. And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds. It was a big fat roll of bologna...of course, we simply
called it balony back then. I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band. Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony too.” He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it right on the spot. And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again, said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise. Mr. Briscoe
went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the whole world! Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion. They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages. No, I had no

back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me. Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine. Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home...without Mother seeing of course. Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that demanded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all. “Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday School voice. “Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?” He dropped the candy
