News – Central Frontenac Council also approved purchasing some fairly big-ticket items at their meeting last week, totalling over $400,000 approved to spend. First on the agenda was a report from Public Works requesting Council’s approval to purchase a John Deere front-end loader. The new front-end loader is intended to replace a 17-year-old Hyundai loader, which has clocked almost 8,500 hours, according to the report. The Township received eight proposals, and there were four of which came in lower than the John Deere, and three of which came in higher – the John Deere’s cost before HST is $183,544; the lowest bid, for a Case model, came in at $158,164; the highest bid, for a Komatsu model, came in at $217,045. And, while the John Deere model was not the lowest bid, it is the same model as used in surrounding townships, and one that meets all requirements listed by Public Works. Furthermore, as Council pointed out, the John Deere front-end loader will cost $43,356 less than the money allocated for it in the 2017 Capital Budget. Council also approved a recommendation from Public Works to award a contract for the supply and placement of granular ‘M’ (annual maintenance gravel) on various roads. Continued on page 3

Central Frontenac Council approves over $400k in spending Continued from page 1

medical responses are a little different than structure fires or motor vehicle collisions,” Robinson explained. “Sometimes we’re going down trails or working on a large property, and that’s where a pickup truck is beneficial for medical responses.” With no further discussion, Council approved the motion for the Fire Department and Emergency Services to purchase the additional vehicle.

That recommendation suggested the Township opt for the lowest of the three bids they received for the contract, which totalled $264,902.50 from Crain’s Construction Ltd. That contract comes in just over $25,000 less than the money allotted in the budget for this purpose – both other bids were over that $290,000 allowance. The last expenditure approved by Council saw the Township’s new Fire Chief, Greg Robinson, come before the horseshoe to present. Fire and Emergency Services was requesting that Council approve the purchase of a new half-ton pickup truck to be used by the Manager of Emergency Services Fire Chief, “at a cost not to exceed $40,000.” Mayor Smith asked Robinson to explain why he feels this vehicle is needed. “Typically, the full-time fire chief of a municipality is assigned a vehicle. There’s a benefit to the municipality for the chief to have an emergency response vehicle,” Robinson said. “It means the fire chief is available to respond in a quick method because the vehicle is outfitted with lights and sirens.” Robinson said that the Fire Chief could use this vehicle both during onduty hours, and during off time, which he pointed out basically out makes for a LET’S 24/7 job. He also said there was a part to CONNECT ON TWITTER! his case for acquiring the new vehicle that would be presented during an in-camera closed session at the end of the Council meeting. The Mayor, having previously discussed the idea of a new vehicle with Robinson, asked if he had looked into the possibilFollow ity of using any of the vehicles currently @KingstonRegion for local news owned by Fire Department.

Central Frontenac Council learns lifespan of current landfill sites, approves support for ‘regional approach to waste diversion’ BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

News – The two active landfill sites in Central Frontenac have a combined lifespan of approximately 22 to 40 years, Council learned at their meeting held Tuesday, May 9. Council received a report for information from Public Works and David Bucholtz, a representative from Cambium Inc., which is the consulting and engineering firm that monitors the Township’s landfill sites. Cambium’s monitoring programs monitor both groundwater and surface water throughout the year at the Township’s two operating landfills and three not operating landfills, and then assess those results each year while comparing them to provincial regulations, Bucholtz explained. For the active sites, Cambium also does a topographic survey in order to calculate capacity and the amount put into those sites over the past year. Bucholtz presented Council with Cambium’s findings over the last year and an update on each waste disposal site. At the Oso District site, which is currently operating as a landfill, Cambium collects groundwater samples at seven locations twice annually, and surface water at six locations three times each year. To date, the site is operating in compliance with Ontario’s Environmental Compliance Approval, Bu-

choltz said, and, despite some concern about surface water sample results last year, Cambium is keeping a close eye on those samples this year. According to the company’s topographic survey, there is just over 10,000 cubic metres of volume remaining at the site, and 1,300 cubic metres was landfilled at the site in 2016. Cambium calculates the average amount each landfill site takes in over a number of years, and then uses that average to estimate the lifespan remaining at the site, Bucholtz explained. For the Oso landfill site, assuming an average of 2,000 cubic metres is taken in annually, the site has about five years of life remaining. “So that gets you to about 2020… A closure plan is going to need to be completed in the near future, the next two or three years, to meet the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) requirements,” Bucholtz said. “We did make some recommendations for some reductions in monitoring… which could, in turn, help you with your annual costs at that site.” Councillor Bill McDonald asked if there is any way that the Township can extend the life of the landfill site. Bucholtz responded that there are, pointing to things like diverting materials, shipping off bulky materials, or chipping bulky materials, but said that those options won’t extend the life of the site too much. “When you get down to five [years], it gets very difficult, but you can extend it a New Branded Ho tel

little ways,” he said. The Township’s other operating landfill site in Olden is currently in the process of having a design and operations plan and report completed by the Township’s previous consulting firm, Bucholtz explained, so he is unable to say for certain what the capacity is there at this time. That said, he explained that the site, where groundwater samples are collected from eight locations twice annually and surface water from six locations at the same consistency, is in compliance with MOE requirements. Bucholtz said that before the new design and operations plan began, it was suggested that there were about 90,000 cubic metres of capacity remaining at the Olden landfill site. “So assuming that’s what they come up with in the design going forward, that’s what we expect,” he said. Bucholtz explained that about 1,200 cubic metres of waste went into the Olden landfill last year. Using an average of 2,100 to 4,200 cubic metres coming into the site annually – which is higher than what is actually coming in, but a good average to use at this point, Bucholtz said – there are about 17 to 35 years of life left in the site. “Again, with this site we’ve also made several recommendations to revise the monitoring program – some is reduction, some is increase – but it’s an operating site with lots of site life, so it’s important to effectively monitor it,” Bucholtz explained.

The other three landfill sites, Hinchinbrooke, Wilkinson and Arden, are all closed, with the Hinchinbrooke site acting as a diversion waste transfer site and the Wilkinson site operating as a transfer station. All three sites are currently operating in compliance with MOE regulations, and Cambium has recommended reduced monitoring at all three. *** Beyond landfill sites, Council continued to discuss waste management before voting unanimously to support a ‘regional approach to waste diversion in Frontenac County.’ The County had previously sent a letter to Central Frontenac (as well as the other townships within the County) regarding County Council’s resolution pertaining to ‘waste management opportunities,’ and requesting that the Township assist the County with meeting their ‘Waste Strategic Goal.’ Central Frontenac had already allocated $100,000 to be used to further the County’s strategic goal, and all councillors expressed interest and support for the idea of the County and all four townships – and possibly Kingston – working to create a waste management plan together. Mayor Francis Smith and Councillor Tom Dewey, who both sit on Frontenac County Council, expressed that they plan to support the Regional Approach to Waste Diversion in Frontenac County at County Council on Wednesday, May 17.

Students gather to celebrate dance BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

It was a gloomy and cold May morning, but that didn't stop thousands of students from having a great time at Fort Henry on Tuesday, May 9. Students from 26 area schools gathered at the historical Kingston site for a morning filled with music, movement and fun at the annual Celebration of Dance event. "This is the eighth year that this program has run and we have grown from 1,500 students to over 6,000 and now

in three locations across the city," explained Lara Paterson, a physical activity specialist with KFLA Public Health and the Limestone District School Board. "They have been practicing since January and today is their celebration" Students started with a warmup before the dancing began and groups from nine area schools took to the stage to lead the crowd as they danced to songs like Build me up Buttercup, Can't Stop the Feeling and Uptown Funk. The goal, according to Paterson, is to educate the students about physical activity. "Kids love to move and

love to be free and from our perspective, they have been learning physical literacy skills through dance," said Paterson. "As educators, we are trying to instil confidence and motivation in them so that they are active for life." The students were full of energy and ready to have fun and so was Paterson. "It is always a great event and seeing the skills these students have and seeing what they have been able to learn and do is rewarding," she said. "There are no rules and it makes them feel great and that is what it is all about."

After the rain: Road closures and flooding aftermath in Frontenac County BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

News – While the heavy rains that pelleted the area earlier this month may have seemed fairly detrimental, both South and Central Frontenac Townships have weathered the storms well, according to

both townships’ public works departments. Many roads in both townships ended up under water as a result of the 170mm of rain the area received in the first week of the month. And, although some roadways required closure due to the water, almost

all have re-opened and did not suffer adverse effects from the rain. We’re certainly trying our best to minimize and mitigate the damages, but I think overall we’re not in bad shape,” said Brad Thake, public works manager for Central Frontenac, during his Public

Works Activity report to Council on Tuesday, May 9. “I don’t think it’s a lot of damage as many of us suspected it would have… I don’t want to say roads are meant to be wet, but they’re meant to have water on them, it’s the rushing water or the water getting into the roads that you have to worry about, and I think we’re in pretty good shape.”

“I don’t think it’s a lot of damage as many of us suspected it would have...I think we’re in pretty good shape.” BRAD THAKE, PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER CENTRAL FRONTENAC

Likewise, Mark Segsworth, public works manager for South Frontenac Township, said the cleanup and repair efforts have been going well and that he

doesn’t expect any roads to remain closed or obstructed with water for long. “We definitely have water over the road in a few locations. The Desert Lake Causeway… that’s probably the main one right now, and it looks like that might be [that way] for a while,” Segsworth said. “But we don’t feel a need to close it because the structural integrity of the road is still there, we think.” Segsworth said the water is clearing up from the roadways well and that the aftermath hasn’t been as bad as the intense rainfalls would have suggested. “I think part of it is due to the fact that I think we’ve done a fair amount of drainage improvements over the years,” he said. In Central Frontenac, two roads remain affected after a culvert collapsed on the Trans Canada Trail. West Gate Road and Second Lake Road were both

closed, and the Township’s public works department brought in an engineer to assess both roadways. “He’s likely going to recommend temporary repairs to Second Lake and then if we can open it up safely, we will, but for now it’s going to remain closed, unfortunately,” Thake said to Council. Additionally, a few beaver dams burst due to the rising waters, and there will certainly be residue to clean up, but Thake said he believes most of the water that rushed onto roadways like Long Lake Road didn’t cause much damage. “I don’t suspect that we’re going to have a lot of costly repairs coming up, besides Second Lake Road, which I just think might be a burden on us,” he said. “Overall I have good feeling, but again, we’ll follow up once water levels subside and we can check things out better.”

Day of the Pig to be bigger and better than ever before BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

upped the excitement factor and has lots planned to keep adults and kids alike well entertained. A bouncy castle and inflatable obstacle course will be on-site for the kids, as well as award-winning magician Eric Leclerc. Three bands will perform throughout the day, including Tom Savage and the Foley Mountain Playboys, and Marc Charron and the Jaymarks. In the evening, Blue Mushroom Sirkus Psyshow, an old-fashioned-style circus sideshow is sure to amaze and amuse, with an old-fashioned strong man, sword swallower and fishnet-clad ringmaster. But, of course, it’s the food and beverage that will be the star of the day. This year, McKenzie and his team of recruited top-flight chefs are roasting 10 pigs – nine more than they did that first year, and four more than they did last year. They are roasting the pigs beginning the day before the event to ensure attendees don’t have to wait too long for food, and chefs from Kingston, Ottawa and Toronto will be on hand to put their own signature on the day. The artisan market will offer over 30 of the top producers and beverage companies from across the country. McKinnnon Brothers Breweries, Beau’s Brewing Co. R0012769012

News – When Mike McKenzie, founder of Seed to Sausage, was getting ready for his big grand opening six years ago, there was a moment he recalls with sheer clarity. “I was almost crying the morning of that day,” he said, explaining that trying to put everything together for the event all on his own was fairly overwhelming given that he was juggling a new business, a one-year-old baby, and, despite having made a name for himself among chefs and foodies across Ontario, he was relatively unknown locally. Although it wasn’t called the Day of the Pig that first year, the event became annual and is now well known by the title – and the sixth annual Day of the Pig is fast approaching. But that doesn’t stop McKenzie from experiencing each year the same pangs of fear and excitement he felt that first year. “That morning, I had this giant pig rotisserie, and it was a terrible design. I had this inferno in it and I’m taking a 200 pound pig and I’m putting it in there by myself. I just was thinking ‘Oh my god! I haven’t slept in two days putting this together, nobody is coming… it was terrifying,” McKenzie recalled. “All I remember was looking up at one point and there were cars just as far as the eye could see on either side of the road,” he said with a laugh. But that’s when he was faced TANKLESS HOME with a new problem. “Now I had cars for as far as HEATING SYSTEM EM EM the eye could see on either side of the road and I had to make sure With a thermal efficiency everybody was happy!” Mike said, of up to 97%, this noting that somewhere between matched combo offers a the weather, trying to coordinate with the collection of established real ‘green solution’ that chefs he brings in each year from can dramatically lower across the country, and having all home heating costs. of those chefs working together and roasting pigs, he doesn’t feel he’s been able to execute the event flawlessly thus far. “Never have I kept everybody entirely happy on this day, and this year I’m really, really, really trying to,” said McKenzie. It might cost him a few more of those anxious pangs, however, because this year’s Day of the Pig is COACH & TOURS certainly going to be bigger than ever before. In honour of Canada’s 150th birthday, McKenzie and the municipality decided it was best to move the event to the Sharbot Lake EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO Beach.

In Our Opinion

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fence me in

Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

For over a decade now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked as a reporter and writer in and around Kingston. As a native Kingstonian and a dedicated journalist, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been nothing short of lucky to be able to carve out a career for myself here in my hometown. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not been an easy path to travel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I, like a vast majority of journalists, have lost more than a few positions due to downsizing within media companies Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked for; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dealt with brutal and unhealthy competition to break stories; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made and lost many coworkers and colleagues, and even some friends, due to the conflicts that can be brought about so easily when you work in a struggling industry. But I have also met some of the most interesting and insightful people among both my colleagues and my sources. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the opportunity to cover some incredible stories, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed learning more and more about the people and community around me. There have been times where it definitely would have been easier to find work if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d left Kingston, and times where I almost have. But I am so happy I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. In late August of last year, I took a six-month contract with Metroland Media working as a reporter for The Kingston Heritage and The Frontenac Gazette. Despite the fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to describe things, I cannot put into words how happy I was to be back in a newsroom and sharing information with the community. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said it since I started working as journalist: there is nothing boring about meeting new people and learning new things every day of your life. And being able to reach out to those in the know and share important information with those who need to know is so much a part of my life at this point, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine ever stopping. Still, six months go by pretty

quickly, especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning the ropes in a new company and a new office with new people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been working from my home office for at least two years when I took the contract here, and there are certainly a lot of things one forgets about working in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the real world,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; let me tell you! When our editor here, Hollie PrattCampbell, returned from maternity leave, my colleague, Mandy Marciniak, returned to her position as a full-time reporter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the position I was filling while Mandy filled in for Hollie. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prepared myself for the usual end to a job Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just grown into, and was just hoping I might be able to remain working for The Heritage and The Gazette in a freelance capacity, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honest. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when a position opened up for a part-time reporter whose primary focus would be Frontenac County. It would mean a lot more traveling, and a lot less time in Kingston, but, in the end, it seemed like an opportunity to get out and learn more about the Frontenac townships and the people who live and work in them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say it again: There is nothing boring about learning something new every day of your life. I was once again thrilled to be offered the position, and, for the past three months or so, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dedicated to getting out into Frontenac County, meeting people, covering County and township council meetings, and discovering some great businesses, organizations, and places Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never been before. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to lie, it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the easiest adjustment. Learning the names of those serving on three councils, as well as those staff members integral to the operations of the townships and County was a crash course, and my first experience traveling to and from Central Frontenac Council saw me lost in a near-whiteout snowstorm without a GPS and with my cellphone signal pinging off of different towers so often I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t maintain a signal. No one needs to know just how lost I got that night, but, hey! I definitely learned more than one thing that day, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel to an address I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to before without a GPS and phone charging Vice Bishop Vice President President &&&Regional Regional Publisher Mike Vice President RegionalPublisher PublisherPeter MikeMount Mount pbishop@metroland.com mmount@perfprint.ca mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182 Ext. 104 613-283-3182,ext. ext.108 104

cable anymore! Now, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am not one of those city-obsessed people who cannot handle the ideas of country living or possibly unplugging (although being plugged in is pretty important in my career). I spent a lot of my time growing up on Wolfe Island, where my mother was born and raised, and much of my family still resided. Some of my favourite childhood memories are of hayrides or sleigh rides or just spending whole days on the lake. And I learned very early in my career why skirts and high heels couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be part of my wardrobe anymore when I was sent out to a cattle farm to shoot photos and video while sporting those two items â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was there to cover an E Coli vaccination, but I irrigated a lot of the field, too. And, apart from the odd drive through intense snow to Mountain Grove, I have absolutely loved traveling throughout Frontenac County. The stone cuts, the winding roads and the frequently breathtaking views make the travel time enjoyable, and, as the snow has melted away, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really enjoyed watching the green return and the trees and flowers come to life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made me excited to get to experience this area more as the seasons progress. As your lead Frontenac reporter, I want to be able to provide you, our readers, with the information that is important to you. I want to let you know about new businesses that are opening up, I want to keep you abreast of your local political happenings, and I want to help give a voice to the issues that matter most to you. Please feel free to reach out to me with anything you feel is important or interesting, or to provide feedback on what kinds of things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see more of in our paper. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to learn as much as I can about the area, and I appreciate any insight people want to share! And, please, if you see me at the side of the road, looking around like a lost dog whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suddenly realized itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for dinner, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laugh too hard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll figure it out and be on my way to my next story and learning something new in no time.

Celebrate Victoria Day safely It is the unofficial start of summer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Victoria Day weekend. This year, Canada celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday on Monday, May 22 (unless you happen to live in either Newfoundland, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia). While the weather doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always cooperate, the weekend is the start of backyard barbecues and trips to the cottage and it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be complete without some fireworks too. But before you get excited and light those fireworks, consider some safety lessons. Each year, we all hear about firework related accidents and in recent years, significant fires have also come as a result of improper firework safety. You can visit the Canada Safety Councilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; website for instructions and recommendations surrounding proper firework use www.canadasafetycouncil.org or you could just forego the whole do it yourself idea and head down to Lake Ontario Park and enjoy the festivities courtesy of the City of Kingston. An afternoon of family-friendly programming - with a fireworks finale - is planned on Victoria Day Monday at Lake Ontario Park and this year, with the Canada 150 celebrations, the city is sure to have spared no expense. The City is offering programming from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Monday, May 22 at the park, 920 King St. West including: Free live entertainment in the park and on the waterfront, food trucks, face painting, inflatable games and military zip lining, and a dog lovers canine lure course ($5 per dog). All events are completely free and make sure you get there early to ensure you can get parking! Â Accessible parking will be available at Lake Ontario Park, but no other on-site parking will be offered.Â Â Parking will be available at St. Lawrence College and you can take a shuttle bus to Lake Ontario Park from the college's transit stop. Whatever you choose to do to celebrate out favourite monarchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, please do it safely and enjoy the unofficial start of summer. Â Â

'13 Reasons Why' and 'Romeo and Juliet' Like many people, Steve and I recently finished binge watching the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, which is based on a book by Jay Asher. The show tells of a teenage girl who dies by suicide, leaving behind 13 cassette tapes describing the people and events she believes led to her death. I knew getting into it that the series was controversial. The Limestone District School Board even released an official statement about 13 Reasons Why, offering advice to parents on how to talk to their kids about the show, which they say glamorizes suicide. When I saw this release, my first thought was: this from a school board which, like probably every school board in the English speaking world, teaches almost every student a famous play by Shakespeare that’s essentially all about teenage suicide. Then I watched the series myself and kind of saw where they were coming from. While the show touches on a number of

For all your latest local news...

important subjects, including rape, slutshaming, bullying and teenage substance abuse, it really does miss mark in the end — and not just because it completely neglects to explore the complex world of mental illness when dealing with the subject of suicide. The series is presented in a way that invites viewers to sympathize entirely with the teenage melodrama experienced by Hannah, the main character who kills herself. We are led to see her suicide as tragic, but also, in a way, justified due to the wrongs that have been committed against her. Indeed, the concept of liability is a huge theme in the series. A large part of the plot focuses on a lawsuit Hannah’s parents bring against the school, which alleges the school’s staff and general hostile environment are responsible for their daughter’s death. One character, Bryce, who rapes both Hannah and another girl, is completely irredeemable. There’s also the creepy psychopath who stalks her and takes photos. But most are just regular kids doing what teens do when they’re trying to sort out that torturous transition to adulthood. There’s the friend who abandons Hannah for the popular crowd; the sweet boy she has a crush on who says the wrong thing

www.kingstonregion.com/kingston-on-news

in a moment of awkwardness; the messedup kid with drug addict parents who does whatever it takes to survive socially — including taking a sexualized photo of Hannah on a date, which gets distributed to the entire school by Bryce. Topics like slut-shaming and how our culture systemically condones rape deserve to be treated seriously in fiction — in a way that is not melodramatic. Suicide should never be presented as an effective way to "show ‘em all what they’ve done." Certainly, this is Hannah’s truth, but the fact that it is her truth is its own tragedy. With more nuance, the show could have

explored this theme and served as a much more responsible approach to the topic for young viewers. In Romeo and Juliet, the romance is glamorized, but the suicides themselves are presented as unspeakably tragic, the product of misunderstanding and spurof-the-moment, ill-thought-out decisions. The whole time we were watching 13 Reasons Why, I was hoping it would turn itself around and be more like this, but it never did. If my girls were older, I would watch it with them and use it as an example of what not to do — in life, and in writing fiction.

Frontenac Islands seniors apartment project moves forward BY MARG KNOTT

The rain was falling too heavily to proceed with the planned groundbreaking ceremony at the site for a first seniors apartment project for Frontenac Islands. The honoured guest was present, the shovel was gilded and the people came to the Wolfe Island Community Hall. And, not for the first time, John Weatherall, (Scarthingmoore Farms) has donated land for a special project on Wolfe, this time one for seniors. “We are delighted to have John here with us today. His donation is another key piece in this project,” Mayor Denis Doyle said in his welcome. “When Frontenac County went on to develop a strategic plan, county council determined that as one of their priorities, a senior apartment project be established, one in each of the four townships and allocated $375,000 for each of them, and a little more to hire a consultant to help us develop a plan,” he said. Wolfe Island indicated a need for senior living spaces some years ago, and the Weatherall expressed ongoing interest and support at the time. Doyle paid tribute to the WI Senior Housing committee (which he chairs) made up of members of the community including Councillor Wayne Grant, Brian Scovill, Kathy Horton, Mikaela Hughes, Walter Knott, CAO Darlene Plumley, and adviser Patrick Thompson. Frontenac Islands Deputy Mayor Natalie Nossal also attended the gathering. As people arrived (40-55), they were invited by committee members and staff to walk through an accessible one-bedroom apartment laid out to full size with tape on the floor at one end of the hall. Each room space was identified with cupboards, doors, sink, tubs, windows, etc. Islanders took their time, from ‘room’ to ‘room’, offered suggestions, asked questions, and picked up rental application forms, tenancy agreement forms and information before leaving. Coffee, cookies and pie was served. Present from the County were CAO Kelly Pender and Communications Officer Marco Smits, and from Wemp-Smith Building Contractors was Tammie Sha-

traw. This first project for Frontenac Islands Wolfe Island Ward will consist of four one-bedroom apartments, and one two-bedroom apartment. The project is ready to go … when the rain stops … when the ground dries. For more information contact Frontenac Islands - Wolfe Island at 613-385-2216. At Frontenac Islands Council: A Service Employee Appreciation event in this instance for Wolfe and Simcoe Island employees was held in advance of

house, including manning four very costly industrial pumps. Webb spoke of difficulty with adjacent lot flooding patterns, and no proper ditching etc. The owner asked that their building permit remain open. The township will repay the $475 cost of the minor variance, and has sought and will seek further input from the Cataraqui Regional Conservation Authority, Ducks Unlimited, Ministry of Natural Resources and the Municipal Drainage Inspector regarding

Plumley, and Rob Dillabough. A similar employee appreciation will be held on Howe Island in advance of the regular June Council meeting. Each person received a certificate and a gift (which was a surprise.) 2. A minor variance request for a property on Easy Lane was withdrawn, at the request Frontenac County Planner Megan Rueckwald on behalf of the applicant Margaret Webb because of the severe flooding on the Webb property. Webb was also at

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, May 18, 2017

the meeting and was obviously anxious and concerned as she described the flooding pattern, and all she and family members have been doing (sand bagging, ditching), to try and save their

properties on Easy Lane. At the present time sand and bags are available at the public works departments at both Howe and Wolfe. Interesting to note, Township staff will meet with a repre-

sentative from Emergency Measures Ontario to discuss disaster management related to flooding. 3. W.I's Chris Brown, owner/ operator of a music recording facility on the island, accompanied by Janette Haase of Community Gardens, spoke to council about the planning that has begun for a weekend featuring music, farm and garden open houses/work shops. It is to raise awareness of community gardening and the WI Community Gardens to coincide with the formal launch of “Wolfe Island Records” and also "Casey’s" brewery launch. A very ambitious program involving businesses, restaurants, musicians, and gardeners with a focus on social justice, food and the rural sector. It will include the WI Island Grill and the General Wolfe Inn. More information soon.

IT’S TIME TO DUST OFF THE PLANT POTS!

It’s a wonderful time of the year, with the trees greening and the daffodils and tulips brightening our gardens. So a gentle reminder for this upcoming gardening season is that most of your plant cells and plastic pots up to 12“ in diameter or 1 gallon in size are recyclable in your plastics week. They must be clean though! Take a hose to them then ensure they don’t fly out of your recycle box. Check with the retailer when you are purchasing your bedding plants as many of them will take the plant cells, trays and pots. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! Happy Gardening!

KHSC celebrates nursing week by recognizing a first for the area

Advanced Practice Nurse, Janet Giroux with Komal Patel of the de Souza Institute on May 8 at KGH. Mandy Marciniak/Metroland

BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

National Nursing Week (May 8 to May 14) is a time to recognize the health-care professionals that make an impact in our communities every day — and this year, the Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) kicked off the week by recognizing one of their own. On May 8, a special presentation took place at the Kingston General Hospital site of the KHSC to celebrate Janet Giroux, the first nurse in Kingston and the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) to receive the coveted de Souza advance practice nurse (APN) designation. “She exemplifies what every nurse practitioner aspires to be,” said Kellie Kitchen, program operational director at KGH. “Her compassion and calming demeanour provides tremendous support for her oncology patients and families, and this has ensured that their experiences far exceed all of their expectations.” The de Souza Institute of-

fers health-care professionals online courses to enhance expertise to provide the best possible cancer and palliative care. The institute was established in 2008, and since then, 9,000 nurses and health-care professionals have gone through the program. The institute works to provide health-care professionals with advanced knowledge and expertise to handle every situation, including managing a reaction to chemotherapy medication, managing anxiety and fears, and managing pain and other symptoms. For Giroux, the opportunity to expand her knowledge through de Souza was very appealing. “I have been taking various courses ever since I graduated,” she said during the recognition ceremony at KGH. “For me, one of the key things about wanting to continue your education is about making positive outcomes for patients and de Souza understands that.” Giroux finished her APN designation in December 2015, after six years of courses, 150 hours of course

work and a 150-hour fellowship. As an APN, Giroux focuses on the sexual health of oncology patients and her education has worked to enhance her knowledge of what she calls a ‘taboo’ subject. “Oncology patients want to talk about their sexual health,” she explained. “What I have encouraged a lot of nurses and health-care workers to do is just give them permission to open up the conversation.” Now, Giroux has a private office in Kingston offering sexual health counselling for oncology patients and she encourages nurses to refer patients to her. “We all need to support each other,” she said. “I couldn’t do the work that I do without my collaborating health-care providers that work along with me.” Even though she has completed her de Souza certification and accomplished so much for the area, she still feels that her education is not complete. She encourages others in the field to continue their education, too. “The experience opened up my eyes to see the difference that can happen when an institute of clinical excellence comes together and provides providers with the best evidence for nursing care,” she said. “You can take a course or you can become a graduate, and I plan to continue taking more courses and helping others do the same."

1 Million Teachers project hopes to ‘breakout’ BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

Education has always been a main priority for Hakeem Subair. Originally from Nigeria, Subair worked as an investment banker, and when his first daughter was born, he became more aware of the issues facing Nigerian children in terms of schooling. “When she was born, we looked for child care. My wife is a doctor, so we needed something reliable. But, there were really no options,” he explained. “We ended up starting our own child care system, and that lead to an education system and eventually a school, because there really are no options in Nigeria.” Subair and his family continued to expand for a number of years in Nigeria and provide education to a variety of families. But in 2012, they moved to Canada to pursue a better life, and for Subair, an education at Queen’s in entrepreneurship and innovation. As his wife focused on getting the proper medical certifications to practice in Canada, Subair focused on his own studies and he knew exactly what he wanted to do to make an impact. “I knew I wanted to do something about the education in Nigeria and I

knew something had to change,” he said. “I didn’t realize how big the problem was at first, and as I came across all kinds of studies in Nigeria, I realized that the problem is getting worse and worse.” As Subair explains it, the main problem in Nigeria is the lack of teachers that want to teach. In his own school that he ran, there were always teachers that would not show up and he often felt that they did not care. “The public education system has completely broken down, and that has led people to start up schools like we did,” he said. “Parents want better education, but the pay for the teachers isn’t there and they aren’t motivated in any way.” His studies and experiences lead Subair to the 1 Million Teachers Project, a project designed to improve students by improving teachers. The goal is to use technology to train one million teachers in 365 days. “We are looking at a blended approach with the online component and in-class support from the schools,” he said. “We also really want to focus on incentive-based learning, and we believe that high

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, May 18, 2017

quality, incentive-based training will lead to high quality students and performance overall.” To help move the project even further, Subair and his team presented 1 Million Teachers at the Kingston Breakout Project (May 10 to May 12). Over the course of three days, startups, entrepreneurs and intrepreneurs gathered at Fort Henry to watch and take part in kick-starting social good projects. Working around the clock, 10 teams with social good projects, including 1 Million Teachers, competed to raise human and financial capital and come up with a plan to move from ideation to completion in just one year. “Kingston is really creating global attention with this event,” he said. “It has given us a massive push and credibility. We grew to 15,000 likes on Facebook in a matter of weeks. So many people are interested, and they want to work with us, and that has a lot to do with Breakout.” While one team will come out on top at the end of the Breakout Project, Subair is just hoping that the event will help him connect with individuals that can help move the project forward and he has been overwhelmed with the support so far. “I am really inspired by the feedback we have

Hakeem Subair is the creator and team leader of 1 Million Teachers. Mandy Marciniak/Metroland

received,” he said. “We think that just like the Breakout Project, we have a great chance to make an impact.” Subair also points out that while this project works to educate teachers across the world, it can also make an impact here in Canada. “The world is a global village and problems that affect those in Nigeria affect us, too,” he said. “We may not see it right away, but there is an impact, especially in terms of education and

with refugees coming into Canada. If we look at ourselves as a global village, everyone benefits from the prosperity we create, and that is the way I see it.” For more information about the Breakout Project in Kingston, visit https://kingston.thebreakoutproject. com.

Glenburnie author publishes third novel in series exploring First Nations heritage BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

Rick Revelle’s First Nations heritage goes back many generations in the Frontenac County area. “My great grandfather came from Petit Nations in Quebec,” explains Revelle. “They built a cabin in Bedford Township in 1840 and the cabin still stands to this day.” Shortly thereafter, the Algonquin people were driven off the land when the Irish came over and started chopping down trees for lumber. “The Algonquins didn’t farm, they lived off the land, and all of a sudden all the animals were disappearing. They went to the government and said ‘Our land’s being destroyed' and the government said ‘We gave you the land, we didn’t give you the forests.’ So most of them moved to the north shore of Crow Lake and that’s where they settled.” Yet the Glenburnie-based author, now in his mid-60s, wasn’t aware of his First Nations heritage until he was almost 40 years old and received a doe hunting licence in the mail in error. He mentioned this in passing to his cousin, Art Cota, and received the life-changing information. “He said, ‘Oh Rick, we don’t

discovered Algonquin heritage, but he found there wasn’t much information out there. “I couldn’t find anything on my genealogy, anything on my ancestors. If you Google Algonquin, you get Algonquin Park and books like how to build an Algonquin canoe.” So he decided he would do the research and write some books himself. His first work, a historical novel called I Am Algonquin, was published five years ago; it tells of the lives of First Nations people in this area during the 1300s, before Europeans arrived in North America. The second novel in the series, Algonquin Spring, was published in 2015, and the third, Algonquin Sunset, is set to come out June 17. Author Rick Revelle. The books are unique in that they submitted photo incorporate First Nations words need a licence to hunt’. I said, ‘What from the Anishinaabe, Mi’kmaq are you talking about?’ and he said and Mohawk languages in addition to exploring these cultures’ histories ‘Well, we’re Native.’ “My mother and her brothers, and traditions. “They’re historical fiction, but I you look at them and you know,” Revelle remarked. “But it was kept always say the non-fiction is the part secret. My grandfather wouldn’t about culture,” Revelle explains. Interesting history lessons are have got a job in the '30s if they naturally interwoven into the stories knew he was Native.” Revelle, a voracious reader, want- of the characters’ lives. “In the first book we talk about ed to learn more about his newly-

how they harvest the rice and how they store it, and each book introduces you to a new cultural legend.” In the first two books, readers meet two “two-spirited women,” lesbians, who demonstrate how precontact First Nations cultures were accepting of gay people. “There are teachings in there that people probably would never know,” Revelle says. “Gays were accepted in the Native communities. They looked after elders and they also raised orphans.” Revelle’s books have become so well known and respected that they are now taught in some schools, including the largest school board in Manitoba. Revelle and his publisher, Dundurn Press, are also exploring the idea of translating I Am Algonquin into either Cree or Anishinaabe. “If that gets done, I’ll be more proud of that than anything else,” he says, pointing out that, sadly, so much knowledge of First Nations culture was lost as a result of residential schools. “There’s an old saying that you never know where you’re going unless you know where you came from. This group of young Native kids

that are coming up now are the first generation in 150 years that have not been affected by residential schools. They haven’t been affected because their grandparents and their parents didn’t go. “You’ve got more Native lawyers coming through the system, you’ve got teachers coming through the system. The older generation was embarrassed to ask (for what they were owed), they thought they were second-class citizens. But now the younger generation knows they’re not second-class citizens, and they’re going to want what’s due them.” Revelle will be at Novel Idea for a book signing on June 17, the date of Algonquin Sunset’s release, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. As for any future books, he says he’s considering a fourth, which will likely take him to Manitoba and Saskatchewan for research. For now, though, he’s happy to have contributed this much to both his culture specifically, and the written world in general. “I’m 65 years old. I’m happy I got three books published. The first one didn’t get published until I was 60. I figure it’s sugar at the end of my life.”

Kingston business recognized for ‘best in a decade’ restoration project at RMC BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

The Currie and Mackenzie Buildings are recognizable to any Kingstonian; the two buildings are instantly associated with the Royal Military College and whether you are standing on the campus looking up or looking across the water from the city, the buildings’ copper roofs stand out. Recently, that is thanks to Colbourne and

Kembel Architects Inc. “We were hired to restore the copper roofs in 2013 and after some investigation and preliminary work we worked on them in 2015,” explained TJ Kerr with Kingston’s Colbourne and Kembel. “It was an exciting project, but also a complicated one, as all heritage projects are.” The Mackenzie Building (with the clock tower) was con-

structed in 1876 and the Currie Building was started in 1919. According to Kerr, the Mackenzie had a slate roof originally and when the Currie building was built it was intended to replace the clock tower building. “But the depression happened and that never actually happened,” he said. “They are right next to each other, but they have very different architectural styles and that is why.”

Sometime in the 1950s both roofs were switched to copper and in 2013 that copper was due to be replaced. “Copper lasts for a long time, but not forever and some of the details at the gutters and the ornamental trim was separating and parts were starting to leak and the windows were in terrible shape,” said Kerr. “So we took on the project and the end result is what you see today.” Upon completion, the project was one of 10 projects in North America to be recognized by North American Copper in Architecture (NACIA) for its outstanding use of copper in architecture. Subsequently, it was nominated to be in the running for one of the 10 most noteworthy copper projects of the past decade and it recently won that coveted title. “It is always great to be recognized, but this one is particularly exciting because the Currie and Mackenzie are two of Canada’s most significant heritage buildings,” said Todd Colbourne, principle architect

on the project. “One of the award winners this year in the same category, is the renovations to the west block of Parliament Hill, so we feel pretty good to be in that company.” Colbourne and Kembel have taken on similar projects in the past, but as Colbourne pointed out, each heritage project has its own challenges and this one was no exception. “When we took off the roof here, we found that the stone masonry underneath was crumbling and you could reach in and take out rocks and bricks. We had to deal with that as we went,” he said.

“It is always challenging, but the end result is pretty great.” Colbourne is happy to have the recognition for his company and also happy to be able to look across the city and see the accomplishment every day. “Wherever you are in downtown Kingston you can see these buildings and it is cool to look at it and know that we did that,” he said. “We are very proud and happy to have the recognition."

Cheese, please BY MARK BERGIN

Ever wonder where things like toast came from? Or cheese? These may not be heavy existential questions, but my mind often wanders to earlier times to explore how something originated. Did some happy tribal group sit around a cooking fire and the adventurous one in the group (or the class clown) say, “Hey, I think I’ll thrust a piece of bread into the fire to create crisp, slightly burned bread.” Everyone kind of grooved on the idea until one dude said, “I’ll toast to that.” “Hey, great name for burnt bread,” said his buddy sitting across the fire. Doesn’t everybody wonder about those kinds of things? Take cheese, for example. I love cheese, and often wonder how on earth that trend got started. I really got pondering this when I heard about the upcoming Great Canadian Cheese Festival in Picton. I decided to explore the history of cheese. It turns out that no one knows for sure who created the first cheese. Chalk that one into the realm of prehistory. One of my first surprises was learning that there are about 2,000 varieties of cheese. There’s cheese made from more than just cow’s milk and goat’s milk. Lots more. There’s even cheese made from water buffalo milk. OK, that

could be funky. Then I heard about pig’s milk. Ew (No, not ewe). I’m a rather adventurous person, and have been known to take stupid risks, but I draw the line at pig’s milk. I’m not sure you’ll get the answer to the origins of cheese, but you can

certainly get to try more cheese than you can fit into one weekend at the upcoming Great Canadian Cheese Festival in on the weekend of June 3 and June 4. The finest of Canadian artisan cheese will be on exhibit and avail-

able for tasting. The founder and director of The Great Canadian Cheese Festival, Georgs Kolesnikovs, said he started the festival out of necessity. In the early 2000s, Kolesnikovs and his then-girlfriend/now-wife

decided to start attending wine and cheese festivals so they could get to know artisan cheeses. “We went to lots of festivals and there was hardly any cheese to be had,” said Kolesnikovs. “There would be one cheese stand and 50 wine stands. We were disappointed that we couldn’t find one place with a full range of Canadian cheeses.” There was one way to solve that: Kolesnikovs decided to start his own festival, and it has grown fast since the first one held seven years ago. Kolesnikovs and his partner had worked together on a series of boating events in the United States, so they had some experience to build on. “I just wanted a place where people with a love of Canadian artisan and farmstead cheese could come,” said Kolesnikovs. “People who are interested in the local food movement have been around for about ten years now. A lot of people know how important it is to get a sense of place for the source of their food. The No. 1 thing of importance is to visit the location of the farm or plant producing the product, or at least talk to the people working there. At the Cheese Festival, visitors can talk to the men and women who are handcrafting cheese.”

Kolesnikovs is on to something good. People want to know about their food and where it comes from. The first one-day event in 2007 attracted more than 2,000 people. He expects this year’s two-day festival to bring in about 6,000 visitors. Not only will visitors get to sample a vast variety of cheese, but The Great Canadian Cheese Festival showcases producers who craft milk into cheese using no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, as well as no modified milk ingredients. The festival has become the largest cheese festival in North America, with more than 130 exhibitors and vendors They’ll have a whole range of products, not just cheese — everything from honeys to artisan charcuterie, mustard, lavender, jams, pickles and olive oil. There’s also wine, craft beer and cider. This year, Prince Edward County’s first distillery, Kinsip Spirits, will offer some of its creations. In addition to the fine foods available at the festival, there will also be cheese tasting and pairing seminars, cooking seminars, chef competitions and farm-to-fork meals. This is a great opportunity for a family outing. You’ll find lots of dairy farm animals on the fairgrounds between the Crystal Palace and the Taste! Ontario Pavilion.

\Jean Morin of Fromagerie du Presbytere, multipleaward winner, will be at The Great Canadian Cheese Festival. This year, the event will be held on June 3 and 4 on the Picton Fairgrounds.

But here, we’ll have 150 cheeses, coming from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia, with many coming from Ontario and Quebec — the heart of the artisan cheese world.” By the end of the festival, you may not know the origin of cheese — that detail is probably lost in prehistory — but you’ll certainly know where to find the best cheese in the country. This is one of those culinary events that’s simply too good to pass up. I’ve already got my tickets. For more information, visit cheesefestival.ca Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin

last year’s festival. So, if you are interested, it’s best to sign up as soon as possible. There’s even the option of a summer dinner at the Jamie Kennedy Farm in Hillier. Not only is the festival a fascinating and fun event, but even the site is worth a visit. The festival is centred in The Crystal Palace on the Picton fairgrounds. The setting, built in 1890, is one of the few operating Crystal Palaces left in the world. “This is the only location in Canada where, in one place, at one time, you can taste and buy so many different artisan cheese,” said Kolesnikovs. “A specialty cheese shop in Toronto will carry maybe 10 or 20

Guardians have their hands full in next chapter of Marvel series My Take MARK HASKINS

MOVIE: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 STARRING: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Pom Klementieff, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan and Kurt Russell DIRECTOR: James Gunn RATING: PG The only thing that needs to be said about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is ‘see it’. Don't wait. Don't bother to finish reading this review. Go now. Right now.

Take Home Immunotherapy Cancer Drugs

OK, if you’re reading the rest of this you're either back from seeing it, or you decided to wait in which case there's only so much I can do. Just know you're delaying seeing the emotional thrill ride of the year. After saving a race known as The Sovereign, the Guardians find themselves in hot water from the Sovereign's High Priestess, Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki). It would seem Rocket (Bradley Cooper) stole some of the batteries they were supposed to protect. Peter (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista) baby Groot (Vin Diesel), Rocket and their prisoner Nebula (Karen Gillan) manage to escape the wrath of Ayesha, and crash land on a remote planet. Though their escape isn't unaided. The celestial Ego (Kurt Russell) steps in to save the Guardians. Ego, and his companion Mantis (Pom Klementieff), have been looking for Peter for a long time. Ego is Peter's father.

Peter is stunned, but agrees to go with Ego. Peter, Gamora and Drax travel with Ego to see what they can learn. Meanwhile Rocket and Groot are left to repair the ship and keep an eye on Nebula. Soon after everything falls apart. Yondu (Michael Rooker) and his Reavers come looking for Peter. The Sovereign continues to hunt the Guardians, and of course Ego isn't what he seems. Secrets are revealed and truths are learned. In the end The Guardians find themselves besieged on all sides, standing back to back as the only thing between the universe and utter destruction. I believe the line goes, "I laughed. I cried. It became a part of me." Guardians 2 is a rare film that had me laughing out loud, on the edge of my seat, and tugging on my heart strings. It's exquisitely balanced between a fun popcorn flick full of dazzling visuals, and a heartfelt emotional story.

It is estimated that 2 out of 5

The cast is an unbelievable mix of natural chemistry and raw talent. Michael Rooker will make you cry. Karen Gillan will bring you to your feet, and Pom Klementieff will delight. Bradley Cooper is so good as the voice of Rocket, and it's silly what Vin Diesel can do with just three words. Dave Bautista has truly elevated his game. Zoe Saldana is wickedly good, and only Kurt Russell could pull off a character named Ego. Chris Pratt perfectly embodies this film. He brings the funny and the action, and he brings the heart. He's brilliant. Sequels used to be about making the same movie only bigger and better, which is why they usually sucked. Marvel doesn't make sequels. They focus on telling the next chapter in the story, and I can't wait for each one. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Supporting our Community We take action by: • immune taking asystem standhas onthe important Our ability tocancer find andissues destroy cancer cells. But cancer cells can sometimes hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed. Cancer cells may also stop the immune system from working properly. Immunotherapy helps to strengthen or restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. How immunotherapy works The immune system defends and protects our bodies from infection and disease. It’s made up of organs, special cells and substances that work together to find and fight germs such as viruses or bacteria or abnormal or unhealthy cells that cause disease such as cancer. Germs and cancer cells have molecules on their surface that trigger the immune system to find and destroy them. But some cancer cells can hide from the immune system because they look a lot like normal cells. In some cases, the immune system may find cancer cells, but it isn’t strong enough to destroy all of them. And some cancer cells can even change how the immune system responds so it doesn’t work properly. Immunotherapy boosts the immune system or helps the

immune system to find cancer and attack it. Immunotherapy is used to: • stop or slow the growth of cancer • stop cancer from spreading to other parts of the body • help the immune system work better to destroy cancer cells • deliver toxins, such as radiation or chemotherapy, directly to cancer cells The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) funds a number of researchers who study immunotherapy. For example: Dr Réjean Lapointe from the Centre de recherche du CHUM in Quebec is developing a gel to improve immunotherapy. Dr Lapointe and his team developed a gel to target and release cancer-fighting immune cells at just the right spot. Further developments could greatly benefit people with cancer. Dr John Bell from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is studying how cancer-killing viruses attack tumour blood vessels. With his team, Dr Bell showed that a tumour’s overproduction of a certain protein can allow oncolytic viruses to infect and destroy the tumour’s blood cells. The levels of this protein may help predict which patients will respond better to therapy with oncolytic viruses.

24th of May held many the mystery for young Mary

My sister Audrey was in an unusual talking mood that Saturday morning. There would be no visiting with her friend Iva. Aunt Bertha, Iva’s mother, was into the Spring housecleaning, and every hand was needed. We were sitting in the grape arbour, yet to sprout its leaves, swinging in the two-seater, and I thought it was a good time to ask Audrey something that had been on my mind since the nicer weather came around. There was something unusual to me about the date, the 24th of May. It seemed to me, that

was almost a magical day, because so much depended on it. My thinking about it started the Sunday before when we were scarcely into the beginning of the month, and I came down stairs ready for church, and wearing my new white gloves. Mother had bought at the Five and Dime store for 19 cents a pair, which to me was a princely price to pay, but I had outgrown the hand-me-down ones Audrey had worn before me. As soon as Mother saw them on me, she said I would have to take them off, because you couldn’t wear white gloves until after the 24th of May. That was news to me, but when I asked Mother why, she said ‘just because’, which was supposed to satisfy me, but didn’t. And even though it was as hot as blazes out, Mother came out of the bedroom in her felt hat with the cluster of cherries on the crown. I thought it was high time she put on the straw hat with the satin ribbon on it that Aunt Lilly

had brought her from Ottawa, but according to my sister Audrey, you just couldn’t wear a summer hat until after the 24th of May. Well, there it was again, that 24th of May business. Father said an early Spring meant an early Summer, and he was right, because even though it was May, it was as hot as blazes, and Mother was already pulling the blinds down in the house after breakfast, and keeping every-

thing locked up tight during the day. And that meant the Bonnechere River was warmed up too. Of course, my three brothers were dying to have a dip after school, and on Saturdays after chores. But Mother said there would be no swimming in the Bonnechere until after the 24th of May! Continued on page 26

24th of May held many the mystery for young Mary Continued from page 25

And it didn’t matter how hot it got! Well, this was all very confusing to me. The payoff came when Mother’s little wood boxes of flowers had sprouted and to me, looked like they were ready to blossom, and I was sure she would be out planting them in the beds Father had gotten ready. Well, there it was again: there would be no planting of flowers until after the 24th of May! And so that Saturday sitting in the swing with my sister Audrey, I asked her again, what was so special about the 24th of May, when, it seemed to me, the entire world revolved around that day. Audrey pursed her lips and went deep into thought. She said she was pretty sure it had to do with the old woman in Renfrew who told fortunes. She said she thought she had put a curse on the day. I asked her what a curse had to do with wearing white gloves, a straw hat, or

swimming in the Bonnechere, and how she could possibly send a curse all the way out to Northcote. My sister Audrey thought for the longest minute, and then said that some things just couldn’t be explained, and for our own good we’d better accept them, or we could get into serious trouble. With no money, the Depression all around us, depending on a rich aunt from Regina for the very clothes on our backs, and many other things beyond our control, I figured I would just have to accept Audrey’s explanation because more trouble was something we didn’t need. After all, wasn’t she in Senior Fourth and the smartest girl at the Northcote School? And if anyone knew the answer to the mystery of the 24th of May, it would be my sister Audrey.
