South Frontenac approves revision to The Point restoration project details By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — Based on feedback gathered at an open house in April, South Frontenac Council voted at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham to reduce the area of pebble beach and increase the area of sand beach proposed for the shoreline restoration and enhancement project at The Point in Sydenham. The specification was that the pebble peastone product used would be as “small and round as possible.” “We’re ready to move forward on this project (and) Council’s approval is imperative if it is to commence in September,” said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. “Time is needed to go through the approval process with the conservation authority and to work with stakeholders such as the Sydenham Lake Association all with the timing of the lake draw-down in mind. “Council should be aware that given the significance of this project, any work proposed must comply with accessibility regulations and adjustments to the design may be necessary.” He said staff will work with the consultant to develop a final restoration plan that includes the recommended modifications, accessibility requirements and detailed specifications that will make up part of the tender document. “From the public meetings, I think it The 36th annual LCVI road race took place on in Kingston on Wednesday, May 6 with approximately 1,200 area elementary school students participating. [Above] Lily Chubarty was pretty clear that the pebble beach area be minimized and the sand beach area be from Loughborough Public School places second in the midget girls race. Photo/John Harman maximized,” said Coun. Mark Schjerning.
36th annual road race
In his report to committee of the whole April 28, Orr noted the public feedback saying “one of the recurring concerns about the concept was the plan to remove the existing sand beach area and replace it with a pebble stone product. “Many individuals spoke about the importance in maintaining the sand beach for the benefit of the numerous children that play in the sand and swim at The Point.” However, Orr noted that there are provincial regulations governing such things. “The consultant provided the rationale behind the decision to remove the sand and replace it with the pebble stone product,” Orr said. “The sand is not naturally occurring and has been deposited on site by the Township. “Furthermore, due to current regulations, the addition of sand at the site that can easily migrate into the lake is prohibited (because) it impacts the aquatic environment and a concept plan that would include a sand beach area would not be approved by the regulatory bodies.” Also, Orr said, the existing sand filled structure no longer withstands the impact of waves and has resulted in the sand washing into the lake and exposing the wooden timber structure. The recommended concept involves removing the wood and replacing it with natural rock (not poured concrete). Dep. Mayor John McDougall said he supported the restoration but didn’t think it went quite far enough. “I don’t think this is a big ‘improvement’ for such an important aspect of the community,” he said.

now human habitation can evolve somewhat but the nature area will all remain natural.” She said that with a conservation easement in place, the landowner continues to own the land and can pass it on to their heir(s) or even sell it. However, the restrictions agreed to (which may prohibit logging, changes to the shoreline, new construction on any undeveloped part of the property or commercial use of the property) remain.

emony marking his agreement with the Land Conservancy Kingston, Frontenac Lennox & Addington. The agreement, called a ‘conservation easement,’ is a special sort of arrangement whereby the landowner agrees not to develop property in sensitive areas and in turn return receives a lower property assessment and negation of capital gains taxes. Merriam, a retired professor emeritus of ecological sciences, owns 36 acres along a kilometre of shoreline on the Salmon River off Blue Heron Ridge Road in Kennebec District of Central Frontenac.

Strategic Plan approved, operational version expected June 23 By Craig Bakay Reporter
News — South Frontenac Council approved three edits to the “Vision” section of its strategic plan proposal at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. An operational version of the strategic plan is expected to be presented to Council June 23 along with a proposed timetable for implementation. One of the edits involved changing “being mindful of the need to achieve greater energy efficiencies” to “reducing our carbon footprint through great-
er energy efficiencies and supporting alternative power generation.” Another involved removing the word “investors” from the sentence “positioning South Frontenac as a vibrant ‘destination of choice’ for yearround and seasonal residents, visitors and businesses. The final change was the addition of the sentence: “recognizing that South Frontenac has many varied communities including lake associations, lane associations, neighbourhoods and hamlets.” ••• South Frontenac endorsed The
Township of Madawaska Valley, a township about the size of Central Frontenac in Renfrew County in its bid to have electricity rates lowered in Ontario. Madawaska Valley’s letter to the Premier reads in part: “Be it therefore resolved that the Township call upon Premier Wynne and the Province of Ontario to take immediate action to prevent these and any other rate increases from being implemented and that Premier Wynne and the Province of Ontario be encouraged to do something to bring these rates down to a reasonable level and to do so as quickly as

possible.” ••• June 7 has been set for the first ever Tour de South Frontenac Cycle Fest. Organized by South Frontenac Rides, the event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with four routes and a skills rodeo including free bike repair and helmet advice in the Loughborough Public School parking lot. There are four routes planned: a 13kilomtre, family-friendly route around Sydenham; a scenic Millhaven Creek route that is 35 kilometres but relatively flat; a hillier Desert Lake route that is also 35 kilometres and a shorter but more adventurous Little Long Lake route which includes un-paved, unmaintained township roads. The organizing committee is still
waiting for confirmation from the conservation authority to use one of their off-road trails. They are planning maps of the routes and posters have already been created. “I was skeptical at first but look at this,” said Coun. Ross Sutherland while holding up one of the posters. ••• In the first quarter of 2015, the South Frontenac Fire department responded to 107 calls, of which 41 were medical, 11 were fires, 15 were false alarms, 2 were burning (brush etc), 14 were motor vehicle collisions, 1 was a water rescue, 5 were for mutual aid and 18 were ‘other’ (power lines down, gas leaks, spills, smoke in a house, carbon monoxide present, etc).

Fees for larger loads of garbage soon to be based on weight instead of vehicle size News â&#x20AC;&#x201D; South Frontenac will begin charging by weight at the Portland waste site beginning in â&#x20AC;&#x153;midJuly,â&#x20AC;? Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Previously, charges had been based on load volume (ie the size of the truck or trailer). Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth said the price will be $110 per metric tonne (for loads over 500 kilograms) which, he said, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not the highest or the lowest in the region.â&#x20AC;? (Loyalist Township charges $125 per tonne, Waste Management charges $105.45 and Progressive Waste charges $101.) For loads under 500 kilograms, the cost is $20 up to 200 kilograms, $33 up to 300 kilograms, $44 up to 400 kilograms and $55 for up to 500 kilograms. Tires, grass/ashes (must be debagged), residential brush (up to 6 inches diameter), metal and flattened cardboard are all free at the Portland site. Hazardous waste and appliances
are not accepted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free disposal of brush is intended for residents only,â&#x20AC;? he said. Commercial businesses who haul brush to the Portland site will be charged $50 for a one-ton, $75 for a single axle, $150 for a double axle and $200 for a triple axle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public works does not anticipate revenues to decrease due to charging by weight versus by vehicle/trailer load,â&#x20AC;? Segsworth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loughborough waste disposal site tipping fees will remain the same until sufficient data is collected from the new weigh scale system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tagged/bagged garbage and recycling only are accepted at the Bedford sites (Salem, Green Bay and Bradshaw).â&#x20AC;? Coun. Mark Schjerning asked what payment methods would be accepted at Portland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cash only at Portland,â&#x20AC;? said Segsworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at getting debit and credit card capabilities at the weigh scale.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somebody loads up a truck or trailer and heads off, it could be a wasted trip,â&#x20AC;? said Schjerning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
not complicated technology.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to make sure there are receipts also,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Ron Vandewal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember the auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, there were some gaps (in waste site revenue reporting).â&#x20AC;? South Frontenac also voted to approve a one-year extension (to Aug. 31, 2016) for garbage and recycling collection to Percy Snider and Brian Larmon. Segsworth said the new weightbased fee structure made some changes necessary for the contractors and â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is unreasonable to expect the contractors to make significant changes without a longer term commitment.â&#x20AC;? He said there are sufficient funds in the 2015 operating budget for the contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we get good service from our contractors and we have a good working relationship,â&#x20AC;? said Segsworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is working well and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to stick with them,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Ross Sutherland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are going to have to improve our recycling.â&#x20AC;?

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
New sex ed? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just common sense.
Selling off Hydro One just one more bad idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas something else. For example, amalgamation was supposed to streamline operations such that far fewer bodies would be needed. But have a look at the payroll down at Frontenac County before amalgamation and what it has become now. Thanks a lot guys. But if wonder of wonders happens and there is a lot of cash spent on public transit, you can bet your last nickel that the vast majority of that will be spent (or should we say overspent?) in Toronto. A bunch of already rich people will get even richer and our area will be lucky to get a few dollars that will buy a wagon and maybe a couple of plow horses. Of course weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the hook for horse chow. But by far and away the biggest danger of putting this public utility in private hands is the very real probability that already questionable rates will get further out of hand. Even with all the supposed government oversight, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still getting hosed at every turn with phony fees like â&#x20AC;&#x153;debt Vice Presidentchargesâ&#x20AC;? & Regionaland Publisher reduction such.Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca The bottom line is that there will be

(or 60 per cent of it anyways) is a bad idea? Forget for a minute that Premier Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan has already cost Ontario taxpayers something like $7 million in consultant fees. Strangely enough, a good chunk of that went to PricewaterhouseCoopers, where former premier Dalton McGuinty now works. Hmmmmmm. On the surface, Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to sell off the Crown corporation to raise funds to be spent on public transit seems somewhat legitimate. But really, how much of the funds will actually be spent on public transit and how much will find its way into other pet projects? They always say it will be one way and then find all sorts of excuses to do

And we all know that corporate types like to squeeze every last dime out of their corporations for their own salaries. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called greed and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what runs the corporate world. As bad as Hydro One is now (and it really needs a shakeup), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get worse boys and girls. One thing you learn as a journalist is that everybody has two reasons for doing something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the reason that sounds good and the real reason. In this case, the idea that selling off Hydro One to provide funding for public transit is the reason that sounds good. (Actually, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound all that great but the authors of the plan will claim itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful.) So, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real reason then?

8 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, May 14, 2015
The year is now 2015, and the last time the curriculum for sexual education was amended was in 1998, when your modem made that funny fax machine sound each time you went online, and the Nokia 8810 (the first without external antennae!), was the new king of the cell phone market. A lot has changed in 17 years. The acceleration of the trend toward the sexualization of Western culture has only become further entrenched, with words such as sext, hook-up and Tinder now deeply woven into the fabric of everyday life. A near infinite ocean of pornography exists three key strokes away on mobile devices. And yet, a considerable minority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some surveys show as a high as 40 per cent - disagree with the introduction of a new sex ed curriculum designed to help Ontario children navigate the increasingly perilous journey to adulthood. Why?  Typically, we believe, it is because they are misinformed. There are dozens of myths and half-truths in circulation, regarding this new curriculum. No, your child will not be taught about consent, rape and intercourse in Grade 1. They will, however, be taught the correct words to identify body parts and to identify exploitative sexual behaviours. No, your Grade 3 child will not be taught graphic information about homosexuality and gender fluidity. Yes, the concept of same-sex relationships and gender identity are introduced in Grade 3 and treated as normal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because these are fundamental Charter Rights that guarantee every Canadian citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to respect. (Sorry Leviticus 20:13, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawmakers are so over you.) No, your children are not being force-fed a curriculum you have no say in. In fact, the curriculum was designed with the input of 4,000 chairs of parent councils, democratically elected by their peers. Furthermore, parents can still choose to remove their children from all or part of the Physical and Health education curriculum (or any part of the Ontario curriculum for that matter).  As weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen elsewhere with issues like climate change and vaccinations, it is difficult, if not impossible to change many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perceptions with public service advertisements and town halls. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unfortunate fact of modern life that people will believe what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to believe on highly politicized issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and particularly on issues so inextricably linked with religion and family tradition. We maintain that when it comes to sex, ignorance and superstition are the greatest enemies. Millions of preventable teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted predations occur because we deprive our children of vital knowledge and leave them to fend for themselves in the dark. We believe that providing students with the tools to think critically about sex and their relationships with themselves and each other will lead to better outcomes and ultimately safer kids.Â

“I really liked learning what was there before and learning about all of the people that used the space many years ago,” said Clancy. “We learned a lot about the transition of the market too and it was neat to see it go from horses and carts to cars to the portable awnings that we see today…The square has new meaning for us now.” Surely many students felt the same way about their own projects and Gale hopes that they all came out of the day with new knowledge and respect for the history and heritage of Canada. “It’s a really enjoyable day and I think the kids really love it too,” she said. “It is so important for them to learn about their heritage and the heritage of their country.”

stumbled upon Market Square in their research and they quickly learned that it is more than just a community square. “I was really surprised that confederation was actually announced in Market Square,” said Jillian Bandy. “I always thought that the square was just used for trade back then, but it is actually a very historical place where a lot of historical things happened.” The group also learned that the square housed a number of soldiers throughout various wars.

News – On May 7, over 150 students from Kingston and surrounding areas came together at Duncan McArthur Hall to celebrate history at the 20th annual Heritage Fair. Students showcased their projects on various subjects, participated in history-themed workshops and learned about local historical groups. “It is kind of like a science fair, but instead of any aspect of science we focus on any aspect of Canadian History,” said Heritage Fair committee member Rhona Gale. “A lot of the kids take a personal approach to it and they look at their own family or a building they live in or visit often. [Others] focus on broader Canadian history.” The fair theme this year was ‘Origins’ and over 200 students showed off their project boards, computer displays, videos and performances showcasing family, local, provincial and national history and heritage. This year, schools also focused on the life and history of Sir John A Macdonald to celebrate his bicentennial. Nearly 30 of the 150 projects on display were about the famous Kingstonian and the various aspects of his life.

Kick and Push Festival to celebrate innovation in theatre By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
News - A trail of mimes (one of whom turned out to be Mayor Bryan Paterson) led community members up Princess Street to an empty downtown storefront-turned-summerparadise May 5 for the announcement of a cutting edge new summer theatre event called The Kick and Push Festival. “The Kick and Push is all about celebrating innovation,” said Brett Christopher, artistic director of Theatre Kingston, one of companies coming together to make the festival happen. “It’s not just a theatre production, it’s actually one-of-a-kind experiences for people in the summer.” Many of the performances, including Single Thread Theatre’s Ambrose, Blue Canoe Production’s A Chorus Line and Convergence Theatre’s AutoShow, will be site-specific and/or The Kick and Push Festival was launched May 5 with the help mimes.

will be the home base for the festival, certain performances will take place in non-traditional venues. For example, AutoShow will invite audience members to move through a cycle of short plays unfolding in small, intimate spaces in Market Square; those who attend A Chorus Line will also have the opportunity to purchase a special “Join in Line” ticket that allows them to enter through the stage door and come up on stage with characters for several numbers. “One of the new waves in theatre is really about immersive work, and so this festival is celebrating that,” Christopher explained. “There are standard, sit in your seats and watch a play experiences, but there are also those that draw a younger generation who are much more interested in a visceral experience - something where they get to run around and interact with the performers.” Christopher said it was the collaboration between the local theatre companies – Kingston Theatre Alliance, Single Thread Theatre, Theatre Kingston and Blue Canoe – as well as the City of Kingston, Kingston Accommodation Partners, The Great Waterway, Tourism Kingston and Downtown Kingston! BIA that allowed this sort of event to finally happen in the Limestone City. “It really couldn’t happen without all the partners. Working on a festival is really tough – it’s a huge amount of time and resources.” City of Kingston Cultural Services Director Colin Wiginton remarked that it has indeed been a long time since there has been summer programming at the Grand Theatre. “I think there’s been a hunger to see that come back,” he said, noting that since The Grand re-opened in 2008 the focus has been mostly on bringing the best of the world’s performing arts to Kingston through the Grand Theatre Presents season. Now, the timing is finally right to try something a little more locally-focused. “I think the community has really matured in the last few years and has a group of artists who are all so keen to pursue their work in Kingston rather than having to go somewhere else. [This opportunity] is about different confluences coming together, which is fantastic.” Wiginton explained that the name of the festival - a nod to the old Kingston and Pembroke (K&P) Railway, which was nicknamed the ‘Kick and Push Railway’ – is also significant. “We wanted something that really spoke about taking risks and being more fun and creative. The notion of ‘kick and push’ gave us a really great tie in to history in Kingston but also to being innovative and that notion of kicking and pushing at expectations. We wanted to connect with the local history but also update it.” The Kick and Push Festival takes place July 15 – Aug. 15.

STANDING IN OUR FIELD
Spring means the start of Community Shared Agriculture cept some of the riskâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the bountyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; of running a farm. This means that the produce members receive is seasonal, local, and fresh, and that it varies with the weather. The share boxes in the first few weeks tend to be smaller, and hold mostly early-season crops like lettuce, spinach, spring turnips, green onions, kale and produce from our greenhouse. Come late June and early July, more crops mature, and the variety grows dramatically; the boxes also hold peas and green beans, cucumbers and zucchini, cherry tomatoes, herbs and beets. By August the boxes are literally overflowing with tomatoes, summer squash, onions, carrots, cucumbers, beans, beets and lettuce. Finally, as autumn comes on the crops shift to reflect the season: Winter squashes, salad greens, peppers, kale, storage onions, root vegetables. Because the shares are directly tied to our actual yields, the exact crops in the box can vary a lot from year to year. One year might see a bumper crop of tomatoes and only a fair year for lettuce. The next might be a modest year for tomatoes but an exceptional year for broccoli. Weather makes a huge difference for farmers. Usually, eaters are isolated from that. The grocery store al-

Out Standing in our Field - The month of May, for many people, marks the start of the gardening season. The end of overnight frost and the mild weather finally make the garden a welcoming place for humans and tender plants alike. On our farm, late May also means the start of perhaps our favourite season: the CSA season. Community Shared Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or Community Supported Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; has seen a burst in popularity over the last 10 years. With roots traced to locations as varied as Japan, Germany, and the American South, CSA farms grew in part as a response to feelings that eaters were becoming more and more disconnected from their sources of food. At its heart, the CSA approach is very simple. Eaters make a commitment to a certain farm by buying a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shareâ&#x20AC;? at the start of the season. Then they get part of the food produced each week throughout the growing season. At our farm, that means they get a box of vegetables each week for 22 weeks, though the CSA model has also been used for meat, cheese, bread and other foods. In buying a share, CSA members ac-
ways appears to have limitless produce from somewhere, but gives shoppers no idea of where specifically the food was grown, by who, or what challenges were involved. But our members want to understand that. They want to be connected to where their food comes from and they want to know about the bigger factorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from summer rainstorms to global warmingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that affect their food supply. One member told us: â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a family perspective, the best part of the CSA is raising our children to understand the importance of locally grown nutritious food and how hard farmers work to provide families with this food.â&#x20AC;? The system has a lot of benefits for farmers, too. We know at the beginning of the season that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make a livable income, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to gamble on fluctuating grain prices or we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to make ecological compromises like spraying pesticide on our food. And eaters ben-

efit by knowing they have exceptionally fresh, nutritious, and local food easily accessible each week. They want to support the livelihoods of local people who share their interest in organic food production and they want to have some say in how they farm is run; every fall, for example, we hold a survey to help us decide what crops we should grow more or less of, and what we should do differently. But the season is about more than distributing vegetables. CSA season, for us, means the community season. Many of our dearest friends are connected to the CSA in some way.

Bikers Against Child Abuse launches Kingston chapter with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;100 mile rideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Mandy Marciniak

that makes the child feel empowered and in control.â&#x20AC;? Members of BACA are screened through a vulnerable sector check and then given extensive training before taking on clients. Members are also given street names by other members of the group.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use the names for anonymity but not because we need to hide, but because it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be about us and our lives outside of this venture,â&#x20AC;? said Teach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to make that really clear to new members and to potential clients. This is all about the kids.â&#x20AC;? Upon taking on a new client, Teach
and his fellow BACA members will travel together to the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for a first meeting. They will then present the child with a teddy bear, a BACA patch and a warm welcome to the family. Continued on page 17

Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stereotypically speaking, bikers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually make the best first impression, but Teach, Reddawg, Stroker and the other members of the Kingston chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) are hoping to change that. BACA was created with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. More than one third of Canadians have suffered from child abuse in their lives and many suffer from mental health issues, substance abuse issues an inability to trust long after that abuse. BACA works to combat these issues and lend support to children in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to provide kids with the ability to not be afraid of functioning
in the world they live in,â&#x20AC;? explained Teach, president of the Kingston BACA chapter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a child is sexually or physically abused, their world has been invaded by someone more powerful than them and there is nothing they can do about it.â&#x20AC;? With over 65 chapters worldwide, BACA works with local officials who are already in place to protect children. They receive referrals from families, law enforcement and child protection agencies and then they work in groups to help that child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Empowering a child by being with them isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that difficult and we can be with them,â&#x20AC;? said Teach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can do things like escort the kid to school or visit them at home. BACA will also pay for therapy and that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be conventional therapy. It could be hockey or horseback riding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; anything

create fashionable and wearable works of art. She helps girls create great outfits at low cost. Another goal is help young women develop skills in financial literacy. “It’s about celebrating the awesomeness of women through eco-fashion and youth entrepreneurship. Eco-fashion is about the person giving to the outside world. It’s about making a statement about who you are. We get too caught up in labels and designer names. I’m really passionate about design and designers, but it’s also important to recognize that you can have very little and be able to make something beautiful. Growing up, I didn’t have an income allowing me to get everything I wanted in terms of clothing.” So she ended up cutting up old pieces of clothing to create new clothes. Or she’d take a scarf and make it into a skirt. “Having less was a catalyst for my creativity,” she says. “It forced me to see things differently and start creating more and more.”

The second-oldest of eight children, she knew early that she wanted to become a teacher. “It’s funny,” she says. “I grew up with my dad being a teacher. As kids, we lived in the country. I loved setting up games, playing school in the basement. I was always the teacher.” When she was seven years old, she was asked in school what she was going to be. “I instantly said, ‘I’m going to be a teacher.’ I always knew that was what I’d do.” Now, Bouvier teaches high school English, art and fashion design at Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School. “For me, as a teacher, I’m constantly being challenged to look at things with a different perspective, and being able to accommodate, and understanding different ways of instructing. As much as I intend to help others, teaching helps me to become a more wellrounded person and artist.” Her artistic side is ever emerging, exploding, celebrating. Bouvier is a
photographer, fashion designer and branding consultant. I hear from teachers that she’s also impressive in her public speaking presentations. Bouvier’s photography skills emerged several years ago when a family friend left his camera at her home. She got to use and eventually keep that camera. “It was a beautiful camera, and photography became a way of documenting the awesome things that happen in my life. I like to write, but photography allowed me to tell more of a story. I’m visually able to capture what I see in my head.” In her consulting work, she helps numerous clients build their brand and image. She says she’s helping people find the best version of themselves. “With the consulting, I’m getting to know the person and helping them tell their story,” she says. “I love connecting with people.” Continued on page 26

Daytripper – What started as an insecure and nagging doubt became a creative concept close to Claire Bouvier’s heart. Today, you’d never know that this vivacious and creative artist ever harbored self-doubt. When Claire hit Acadia University in Nova Scotia she admittedly fell head over heels for a guy. But he didn’t like what she wore. Her clothes weren’t expensive enough. They weren’t the right brand. He told her not to wear her jeans and the striped shirt. Sounds like he had a lot of decrees about who Ms. Bouvier should be. She says she ended up constantly feeling uncomfortable and insecure. She wanted to work on the relationship and make it work. She tried to buy the correct boyfriend-approved clothes. But Claire no longer felt Claire-ish. No surprise, the relationship ended. Claire was devastated. She didn’t know it at the time, but, in the long run, the experience was one of the best things that could have happened in her life. “It was a life-changing moment,” she says. “That’s the thing about life. There has to be failure and rejection, and that makes you stop and think, ‘What am I all about?’ I was not happy being this person someone else wanted me to be. That initiated the very early stage of what the Claire Closet is today.” It’s hard to imagine Claire Bouvier in the position of allowing someone to judge her. The first time I met her I sensed that this is a creative woman who is in touch with that meaningful part of her life; call it soul, if you’d like. She is her own work of art. In the year following her breakup, she vowed to make changes in her life, including to wear whatever she wanted that allowed her to feel awesome. “It was then that I started experimenting with my everyday clothing choices. Looking back, some days I went out the door looking like clown meets hitchhiker meets forgets-whatera-she’s-living-in. But you know what? I felt great. For the first time, I really felt alive. I was wearing what I wanted to wear.” During one of her university years, she realized she wasn’t going to have enough funds to complete her semester. Necessity became the mother of invention. She discovered a business competition in the student union building. She spent a month working on a business plan to create an art and fashion magazine that would help girls make positive choices about clothes and build their confidence. She won the competition and re-
ceived a cash prize that covered her financial needs for the remainder of the university term. The idea of helping girls build their confidence through clothing remained in Bouvier’s mind. After her first university degree, she completed her teacher training. She also modeled for an agency, volunteered as a stylist for photo shoots, led teen organizations, took photography courses at night and worked as an assistant to other photographers. When she became a high school teacher, she started charity runway fashion shows. “I wanted to use my passion for clothes to help young girls find their own personal style and, with that, greater confidence.” To help inspire others, she took photographs of outfits she created. Her process of creating clothing with young women became Claire’s Closet, which exists online and on the runway. She recycles, rebuilds, restores and re-whatever-is-needed to

people knocking on the door asking if we were open,” said Rossit. “There were no signs or anything, but they knew we were coming.” That response has continued since February and Rossit is happy to see the staff thriving in the new location. He attributes a lot of the successes in the business to the staff and the amazing atmosphere they create within the store. “It is really a family atmosphere in here.
We work together so well and if someone gets sick then everyone steps up to cover. We have a great relationship and that makes it work and hopefully it will continue to work for many years to come.” The new Bridle Path location in Kingston is located at 1356 Princess Street. For more information visit www.bridlepathtack.com or look for them on Facebook.
News – When Rob Rossit and his wife Lori started a small tack shop in the basement of their home in Belleville in 1991, they thought it would just be part-time; now, 24 years later, Bridle Path Tack Shop has become a successful, growing, full-time business. On May 2, the couple celebrated the grand opening of their new Kingston location. “We’ve been in Kingston for about 10 years in a really small satellite store on Battersea Road,” explained Rob Rossit. “But we grew out of that location a long time ago and we started looking for expansion opportunities.” The new location at 1356 Princess Street was formerly an auto shop and Rossit had his work cut out for him when he started renovating, but he couldn’t be happier with the end result. “The space is so great and the staff are loving it,” he said. “It was time to move into Kingston more and expand further. There is definitely a demand for our products out here and we are happy to accommodate that.” Rossit, an electrician by trade, never thought about owning his own business let alone a tack shop, but after starting small there was no turning back. “Lori’s uncle owned Double Horseshoe Tack Shop in Belleville and she worked there from the age of eight until he sold it,” said Rob Rossit is the owner of Bridle Path Tack Shop.

Lifestyle – Why we got so many barrels from Scots Hardware in Renfrew was a mystery to me. It seemed to me they were used in the store for other purposes before we got them. I would see barrels of nails, pieces of harness, and countless other things stored in them in the big store. And Father would pick one up regularly. And they too served a host of uses. We salted down
pork and sauerkraut in the Fall, and Father always had several lined up in the drive shed where they held everything from wire lengths, to pieces of harness and scraps of wood. And of course, there were always barrels at each corner of the house to catch the rainwater, which Mother used for Monday’s washings and for our Saturday night baths. And then there was the day Father came home from Renfrew with a spanking new barrel from Scots Hardware. He told no one in particular, as he unloaded it off the wagon, that it was the sturdiest barrel he had seen in a long time...well worth the .50 cents he had to pay for it. He set it behind the drive shed, ready for whatever use he had planned for it. Tapping it

with the palm of his hand, as if it was a young filly he had just gained in a trade, he said again, “yup, well worth the fifty cents.” Ronny eyed the barrel and went over to bend towards the inside of it. The young cousins had arrived from Montreal earlier for their usual summer stay, and time on our hands was starting to take its toll on the mischievous lad who could never seem to keep out of trouble. He slid to the end of the drive shed like a fox going into the hen house, and saw that Father had gone on to other chores. I knew without asking that he was planning something. He had that look about him that he always got when his mind was churning. He asked his much younger brother Terry to come and stand beside the barrel. Terry did exactly as he was told. His golden curls came just to the rim. “Perfect,” Ronny beamed. “Give me a hand, Mary,” he ordered. “I will do nothing of the sort, Ronny Lapointe,” I said. “What ever you have in mind, forget it this instant. Father just bought that barrel and he’ll kill us if anything happens to it.” Ronny said I was scared of my own shadow, and besides what he was planning wasn’t going to hurt the barrel one bit. He started to roll the barrel away from the drive shed. He had a dickens of a time trying to keep it rolling straight. Terry of course usually ignored by his older brother was right there putting his little hands on the barrel as if Ronny couldn’t roll it without him.

Mary finds out barrels had countless uses He was heading for the gully that led to the creek. I had no idea what he had in mind, but I knew perfectly well, with his mind, it was some dastardly trick that we would pay dearly for later. You would have thought I had learned my lesson from previous antics, and simply walked away. Hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience taught me that every time Ronny got into trouble I got into trouble too? The barrel was gathering speed, as it wobbled from side to side down into the gully, with Ronny in hot pursuit. I was sure he was going to try to float it on the Bonnechere. But he headed right for the West Hill with little Terry trying to keep up to him. It was a hard push, and by the time we reached the top of the hill, the perspiration was pouring off Ronnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. He was chewing us out for not helping him push the barrel. I still had no idea what he was up to. But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait long. He got down on one knee and looked over the top of the barrel down the hill. He told Terry, who was too young to know any better, to crawl in the barrel that he had a real treat in store for him. Terry who thought a treat meant candy or ice cream, did exactly what he was told. And then the picture of what Ronny had in mind unfolded right before my eyes. He was going to send Terry careening down the West Hill in Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand new 50 cent barrel! Terry crawled in head first, and Ronny told him to put his knees under his chin. He was tiny enough to do it. And then Ronny gave the barrel a mighty shove and it went careening down the hill. There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a murmur from the barrel and I was sure wee Terry had died of fright. But the worst was yet to come. The barrel was not going in a straight line, but it was traveling like a speeding bullet. I yelled that if it hit the Bonnecherre Terry would drown. But it was heading right for the big maple tree and there was nothing to save it from the crash that followed. It split into a million pieces and Terry lay there as if he was dead. We tore down the hill and Ronny said the barrel did exactly what he thought it would do, but that he was a little off on his figuring. He said he figured it should have missed the tree. Terry crawled off the mess of splintered barrel staves, and it looked like he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a
scratch on him. It was a long time since I saw Father so mad, he was swearing in German, chewing on his pipe, and making a grab for Ronny.  There was no saving the 50 cent barrel. It would join the kindling in the wood box in the summer kitchen. Since I had nothing to do with the caper, I thought it was mighty unjust that I was punished along with Ronny for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Her next long term project is as a mentor for the Limestone Learning Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crystal Ball.

Her long-term goal is to continue on her current creative path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the goal of being able to create every day and create with a purpose. I want to always balance being an artist and being an educator in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun for me and helpful for other people.â&#x20AC;? She has some advice for young women, especially those who may be lacking confidence or who may be in relationships that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the most important thing is to really know who you are and to love who that person is. If someone said
things to me now or treated me like that boy did in university, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;See you later.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at a point now where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty confident in who I am. Learning to accept your weaknesses and successes is part of knowing who you are.â&#x20AC;? She says that for young women in controlling relationships, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to step out of their comfort zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to change your mindset when you view yourself negatively. You have to physically remove yourself from the situation. You need to take time away, alone. In university, I was too busy doing things. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give myself time to meditate or have
