NEWS — “If you don’t look, you won’t see it.” It seems like a simple enough sentiment, but when you hear Monica Capovilla say it in reference to Wintergreen Studios’ upcoming BioBlitz, it kind of takes on a new meaning. That’s because Capovilla, the BioBlitz program director for Wintergreen Studios, is referring to the literally hundreds of thousands of animal and plant species one can discover at Wintergreen’s 204acre property within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve. Wintergreen Studios’ wilderness educational retreat centre is home to over a dozen hiking trails traversing through a cross section of the rich landscapes the area has to offer. Forests, meadows, ponds and marshes are juxtaposed with breathtaking rock face and granite outcroppings and a glaciercarved lake. It’s an incredibly diverse nature reserve that offers a look at our country’s history — dating back to how it was originally carved out — and our area’s biodiversity. Each year, Wintergreen Studios hosts a Land Art BioBlitz, where its property is opened to the public. Participants are encouraged to get out and explore the trails, identify species and participate in workshops. The organization brings in speakers and naturalists from many different areas of expertise, and offers the public a chance to learn from those whose life studies investigate specific niche areas of our natural world.
Participants in last year's BioBlitz at Wintergreen Studios got the chance to see a huge variety of plant, animal and insect species over the course of 24 hours. This year, Wintergreen Studios is hosting their BioBlitz over five days, off ering the public the opportunity to get out and explore their property within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve, and take part in fun and interesting workshops.

Much debate around regional approach to waste diversion at county council BY TORI STAFFORD
tstaff ord@metroland.com
NEWS — Wording, procedure and the idea of creating a ‘postlandfill society’ in Frontenac County were all issues of contention during the county council meeting on Wednesday, May 17. The only time in the over twohour meeting where much debate took place was during the agenda item asking council to approve retaining Cambium Inc. — the engineering firm of record for the landfill sites of three of the four townships in the county. A request for expression of interest to the continuous improvement fund was required in order to secure funding for a study to identify possible opportunities “to develop a regional approach to optimize waste diversion in Frontenac County.” In other words, council received a report from county chief administrative officer Kelly Pender that recommended they approve using Cambium Inc. to apply for funding that would allow the firm to come back and present options for all four townships working together to divert waste from going to landfill sites. To be clear, council was not being asked to agree to employ one of those options, or even agree to work together, but rather to approve using Cambium as their firm of choice to apply for funding in order to develop options. However,
for well over 20 minutes, it became clear that not all councillors were on the same page — not about the idea of working together on the topic, but about the idea of using the $100,000 that has been sitting in reserves earmarked for waste management for a number of years and what, exactly, the agenda item was asking them to approve. The idea of a ‘regional approach to optimize waste diversion’ came about when county council passed a resolution in March regarding “waste management opportunities” in order to meet the County’s Waste Strategic Goal. All four townships were sent a letter from the county and were to discuss the idea of this ‘regional approach’ at their own council meetings. In early April, the Frontenac chief administrative officers’ meeting saw all
public works managers within the county and a representative from Cambium come together to discuss waste management. The debate began with Coun. John Inglis explaining that he felt the intent of the money held in reserves was supposed to be directed at looking into the possibilities for completely shutting down landfills. “That would require investigation of some rapidly expanding technologies,” Inglis said. “Unfortunately, we don’t see any of that in this proposal. I can’t support this.” Coun. Denis Doyle said that he also has concerns, wouldn’t support the recommendation, and noted that he didn’t even know who the vendor (Cambium Inc.) was — it was later explained by Pender, Coun. Frances Smith and deputy
warden Ron Higgins that Cambium was elected as the engineering firm of choice for North, Central and South Frontenac townships a couple of years ago, and that Frontenac Islands had opted to remain with their existing engineering firm. By contrast, Coun. John McDougall said his opinion was the exact opposite of those expressed by Inglis and Doyle, adding that he, too, clearly remembers the original intent of the funding in reserves. “I think this is a way of looking at a larger operation than just one of our townships alone,” he said, noting that South Frontenac public works manager Mark Segsworth had mentioned the ‘regional approach’ will involve Kingston.
“Plus, this is the beginning. We can do this together as a county, working together on a particular issue,” he said, explaining that the townships have a better chance of getting somewhere working together. Warden Ron Vandewal pointed out that even if the money was to be used to divert waste from landfills, that doesn't mean those options are necessarily realistic. “If we think this county council is going to solve the post-landfill [solution] … none of us will even be here when that happens, and our grandchildren will be dealing with it, because Canada is nowhere close to thinking about post-landfill,” he said.

Much debate around regional approach to waste diversion at county council Continued from page 3
“I think, if we want spend the money to have the information — what we need, what we can address — fine. If we don’t want to spend the money, let it sit there. But, we won’t be spending it on a post-landfill society in our terms.” Coun. Smith expressed that she feels the same way as Vandewal, and that she would be supporting the recommendation. “I think now is the time to get working on this,” she said. Higgins said he had a problem with the wording of the recommendation, and in discussing that out loud, it was discovered that Pender had already moved forward by indicating Frontenac County would be applying for the funding in question to ensure they met the deadline for applications. “So, we’ve already gone ahead on this without council’s approval,” Higgins said flatly.
Let’s connect on Twitter!
Pender explained that applying for the funding was similar to pulling a number at a deli — it just ensures that they are able to try to get the funding if council decides to do so. Higgins then expressed that he had a procedural issue with how the situation was unfolding, again reiterating that a decision had been made without council’s approval. Pender said that if council decided they did not want to work with Cambium, or that they didn’t want to spend the money, he could simply indicate that to the Continuous Improvement Fund (CIF) — the organization that oversees the funding in question. Debate continued for at least 10 more minutes until it was finally decided that if the wording of the recommendation was changed, all councillors would feel better about it. Council was only voting to “support” (not “approve”) Cambium Inc. applying for the funding to develop a list of possible options. A majority of councillors voted in favour of doing so, and the recommendation was carried.

Because of the nature of the reserve, repellents containing DEET are not to be used on the property, but Capovilla said there are a number of natural and essential oils that can be quite effective in warding off insects, ticks and other bugs. She pointed to lemon-eucalyptus, tea tree and rose-geranium oils as most effective, and noted that Wintergreen Studios keeps the latter two oils on hand for those visiting the property. But above anything else, Capovilla said she just wants people to come out to explore and enjoy the natural wonders the area has to offer. “Personally, I find it

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
Looking forward to summer in the Limestone City Summer is here, well, almost and for a couple days last week we finally felt it. I know that I have mentioned in previous columns that fall is my favourite season, but summer comes in as a pretty close second. This summer, Korey and I don’t have much planned. I’ll be working most of the summer aside from maybe a couple days off here and there and Korey is working to complete his thesis. It is the first summer that we will just be in Kingston for the majority of the time and I am really looking forward to it. A couple weeks a go, a friend from Burlington contacted me; she was travelling to Kingston for a soccer tournament with her kids and husband for a weekend and she wanted some advice on where to stay, where to eat and what to do while they were here. As I thought about suggestions, I was a little overwhelmed with the options here in Kingston and pretty proud of this little city I now call home. For a smallish city, there are so
many options in terms of great hotels, restaurants and even great attractions and it was pretty easy to come up with suggestions. As an added bonus, she was visiting the city at a time when most of the students had already left and we all know that a Kingston without students is a more enjoyable Kingston. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the students are vital to Kingston and they allow for all of those hotels and restaurants and even attractions to thrive for most of the year, but I still love when they leave at the end of April each year. With so much happening in this great city each weekend – if you don’t know what I am talking about, check out our weekly weekend lists – I am excited to see what the summer brings. Here are some of the highlights I am looking forward to. - Canada Day - This summer, for the first time ever, we plan on being in Kingston for Canada Day. For some reason, over the past five years, this has not been the case and I am excited to take part in the festivities in the city, especially given the Canada 150 celebrations

that are inevitably being planned - Local music festivals – We’ve got the Skeleton Park Arts Festival, the return of the Wolfe Island Music Festival, the annual Back to the Farm festival, Craft Beer festivals and so much more. As an added bonus, a lot of these festivals are pretty cheap, making it easy to attend all of them. - Events in the Square – Last year was the first time we went to Movies in the Square and I am excited to see what it offered this year. On top of movies, there is always something happing in Market Square including concerts, live theatre and of course the weekly markets. - Exploring the city – Even after five years in Kingston, I still feel like there are areas of the city I have yet to fully explore and my goal this summer is to get to know Kingston better. These are just a few of the things I am looking forward to and I am sure I am missing a whole bunch of other fun activities. I am always open to suggestions, so if you feel there is something I should definitely check out during my summer in the city, let me know. Â

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, May 25, 2017
This summer, take advantage of close and close-ish National Parks and Historic Sites you can visit for free Summer is (unofficially) here, and as usual, many Canadians are ready to do some travelling and exploring. Here’s your friendly reminder that this year, there’s even more reason to get outside and explore, thanks to free admission to all of Canada’s Marine Conservation areas, National Parks, and Historic Sites in honour of Canada 150. Yup, with your 2017 Parks Canada Discovery Pass affixed to your rear view, you can visit many of the country’s most famous landmarks free of charge. If it’s nature you’re looking for, the closest national park is Thousand Islands National Park near Mallorytown. Accessible from the 401, the park has many hiking trails for amateurs and seasoned trekkers, and of course is a perfect place to launch your kayak or SUP board and enjoy beautiful islands sculpted in granite. Closer to to home, there’s a couple of sites you should be sure to check out if you have the chance, including one of Sir John A. Macdonald’s Kingston residences: Bellevue House, where the Macdonalds resided from 1848 to 1849. Tour the tranquil gardens with a maid in period costume, or participate in a whiskey-tasting (certain fees may apply). A few blocks down the road, there’s also Murney Tower, whose three storeys and small museum can provide a quick glimpse into 1840s Kingston and the Oregon Crisis that prompted the tower’s construction. It should be cautioned the free attractions are not to be confused with provincially-managed parks and conversation areas: these all are still available for the usual fee. So don’t go up to Algonquin Park or Frontenac Park thinking you’ll be able to get in for free (but do still consider them anyway, because they’re great!). Furthermore, it should be noted that fees for such things as parking and camping still apply. Also, Fort Henry, while technically a national historic site, is not operated by Parks Canada, and is thus still subject to regular admissions charges. Some other close (ish) National Parks and sites in Ontario: — Rouge National Urban Park in the GTA — Bruce Peninsula National Park on Georgian Bay — Georgian Bay Islands National Park — The Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site near Peterborough Check out a full list of all the National Parks in Ontario here. Now get out there this summer and enjoy all the history and beauty your country has to offer — on the house!

Things I learned at my best friend’s wedding Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com
They say a picture is worth a thousand words… but indulge me, and let me start at the beginning. Despite what my headshot may suggest, I am not exactly a girly girl. Most people that know me are more accustomed to seeing me carting around four or five bags of ‘necessities’, my hair haphazardly piled atop my head in some sort of knot, often with a pen stuck in it that I forgot about hours ago. But if there is one thing that brings out the girly girl in me, it’s a wedding. The romance, the excitement and all the little, pretty things that come together to create a couple’s perfect day… it all just makes me giddy. So when I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my best friend Susan’s wedding, there was no question in my mind I wanted to be by her side, both for that magnificent day, and for all the planning that goes into it. There are a couple of things I should clarify. My group of friends is wildly unique in that we’ve known each other for at least 20 years. And
my best friends (all of whom I refer to as ‘my best friend’) all met in elementary school – I actually met Susan on my very first day of junior kindergarten… but that’s another story. As well, when it comes to the planning and execution of events, yours truly gets a little… high-strung. Okay, I kind of go nuts. There are lists upon lists, a lot of un-ended sentences and thoughts, and my friends often fi nd themselves reminding me to breath. And the fact that Susan’s wedding took place in the Dominican Republic only compounded my stress – I wanted to be prepared for anything that might happen, and make sure we all looked fabulous. So it wasn’t odd to my friends that I arrived the day of the wedding, armed to the teeth with cosmetic bags, hair products, double-sided tape, safety pins and blister guard. We had finger foods for sustenance, candy for sugar boosts (and because Susan is known to travel with her own supply of candy), and champagne for calming the nerves. All was perfectly prepared, but nothing could prepare me for all that was about to happen. Forget the fact that up until an hour before the ceremony we weren’t sure where it would take place due to the forecasted rain. (It was eventually
moved inside.) Forget the fact that we were down-to-the-minute pressed for time (I was literally fastening my sandal straps on the ride to the ceremony). Forget the fact that no one told us where to go and, suddenly, we were
told to start, each bridesmaid negating to actually walk down the aisle and entering the ceremony stage right (no, we didn’t do a run through). You can even forget the part where none of the music the bride and groom had
carefully curated actually played correctly during the ceremony (the songs were somehow skipping, despite being digital music files and not CDs). Continued on page 11

Some say it's the highest water ever on the islands BY MARGARET KNOTT
Frontenac Islands has activated its Emergency Response plan and declared a "fl ooding emergency" o due to the already high water levels of the St. Lawrence and River and Lake Ontario, which at this time are expected to continue increasing. The weather in the region has included high winds and incredible wave action causing flooding in lowlying areas, shore lines, and caused erosion affecting homes, cottages and roads. To date, islanders have volunteered to help fi ll and place sandbags to divert water in a number of areas and around homes on Wolfe and Howe Islands with the sand and bags. These were made available at the islands' public works facilities, with a reminder to bring a shovel and a caution to drive slowly over water-covered roads. Volunteers can be called to assist local staff. With the emergency declaration, both provincial and federal governments can also be called upon. Islanders have been advised to document any damages incurred with photo/receipts for expenses, if the Ministry of Housing determines that Frontenac Islands are a zone eligible for Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians (DRAO). There has been no problem with the Wolfe Islander III ferry, which is sitting very high in the water, but going up the ramp and down to board and exit the ferry however, is quite an unusual experience. I expect it must be similar experience for the Howe Island County ferry. However should water levels continue to rise expect the Simcoe Islander and Township Howe Islander may shut down until levels drop. The big fear as always is for the ferries to be shut down with no way to leave the islands, and in this case cause impassable roads, or no access to homes. But as Mayor Doyle so often says: “We are indeed a resilient lot on Frontenac Islands.” 1. Have you had your water tested yet? This is very important. KFL&A Public Health advises drinking water testing. Flooding conditions may have affected wells
and sewage systems. Test bottles are available from either Island township offi ces to be returned for pickup by the Health Unit. In this situation, test the water regularly. For more information visit the Frontenac Islands website at: frontenacislands.ca 2. Great Things Happening at The General Wolfe Inn: As a member of the Frontenac County Accessibility Committee I felt compelled to call and remind the new owners of the Inn that there are a number of areas
in and around the Inn that need improvements when it comes to making it accessible according to Ontario standards. And how thrilled I was to hear that such are already underway. You can’t help but notice the level of activity across the street at the Inn’s outdoor Summer Patio on the Dock. It is undergoing a complete rebuild that will include a number of initiatives to make it accessible, including a wheelchair accessible washroom, barrier free entries, and
height level considerations. Many may have already seen the design for that area presently hanging in the restaurant, showing plantings, rock design, and needed dock repairs If not, consider having a look. When it comes to the restaurant itself, there too initiatives are being considered, including making the direct entry door at the back of the building as the accessible entry door. The operative words being a welcoming accessible door, good lighting
etc., and perhaps handicap parking. Much thought is being given to ways of improving the accessibility of the interior and exterior of the restaurant as well as the dining room. Good Luck … 3. And About Beaches and Ferries: FYI: The design-build contract for the new Amherst Island Ferry also includes the design-build for the new Wolfe Island ferry. The contract is currently in the Request for Proposals (RFP) stage, which is the second phase of procurement. The RFP was sent to the five qualifying shipyards at the end of April. It is expected the contract to be awarded by late summer 2017. The information about this project comes from Brandy Duhaime, Regional Communications Coordinator MTO, Eastern Region. Also from MTO: Glenora Ferry Service will remain on a 30-minute schedule with only one ferry running on limited service until further notice. Only cars, SUVs and half-ton pickup trucks can be accommodated. (On a trip to Picton, we noted the Glenora Ferry had a large truck centred in the middle as form of ballast against the water level.) Wolfe Island welcomes back the MTO summer students whom we count on to keep the ferry lineups in order. Please Take Note that Big Sandy Bay is closed until further notice due to high water levels. To put it succinctly, there is no beach at this time. Watch for an opening date at: frontenacislands.ca 4.

Things I learned at my best friend’s wedding Continued from page 9
Once everyone was gathered in front of the judge presiding over the ceremony, that all kind of melted away. There was my best friend of nearly 30 years absolutely beaming as she held the hands of the man she loves and adores, and he was as obviously elated as she was. What more could you ask for? Well, you could ask that everyone in attendance turn off their cellphones, but really – Who leaves their cellphone on at a wedding? Because the wedding had to be in Spanish for legal reasons, the ceremony had a translator standing beside the judge. And apparently this particular judge didn’t get the memo about cellphones and weddings. As the translator was explaining the judge’s previous sentence, there was a noise. A very obvious noise. A very obvious factory-pre-set-cellphoneringtone noise. That’s right. Not only did the judge’s cellphone ring in the middle of the ceremony… HE ACTUALLY ANSWERED IT! I could feel myself starting to sweat even more than I already was in the Dominican heat. A lump formed in my throat as I turned to my fellow bridesmaids, my eyes so wide it hurt. I was stunned. I noticed another life-long friend seated by the aisle. Our eyes met and I could hear her voice in my mind as she mouthed ‘calm down’ and motioned for me to breathe.

And then I looked to Susan. There, still holding onto her soon-to-be husband’s hands, Susan was smiling, her body relaxed and her eyes locked to his. Josh, the groom, was also smiling, a pride and peace radiating from his eyes to hers. They were in a bubble where everything was perfect, to the point where I wondered if they’d somehow missed the massive faux pas that just took place. And that’s when it hit me. Susan and Josh weren’t ignoring what had happened. They weren’t pretending it hadn’t happened, and they weren’t trying to hide any negative emotions either. They were in the moment. Because at that moment, they were exactly where they were supposed to be. And even if they weren’t outside in the Caribbean sun, or their silly friends hadn’t thought to take the aisle on the way to the alter, or the
music they’d spent months selecting hadn’t played… They were getting married. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how many perfect, little pretty things happen at a wedding. Sometimes, the most well thought out plans and hopes are simply not meant to be. But one thing – one incredibly important thing – was meant to be: Susan and Josh declaring their undying love for one another and becoming husband and wife. With that said, I will leave you with the words we all should have heard as Susan and Josh walked back down the aisle, finally Mr. and Mrs.: “And I wonder If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again.” Probably not. And that’s exactly how it should be.

Volunteers pitch in as Frontenac Islands declares fl ooding emergenc BY TORI STAFFORD
tstaff ord@metrolanc.com
The Township of Frontenac Islands has activated its Emergency Response Plan due to historically high water levels and the anticipation those levels will continue to increase. In addition to the Emergency Response Plan activation, the township has also filed a ‘Declaration of Emergency’ with the provincial government, all in an effort to “assist in protecting the health, safety, welfare and property” of its citizens, according to a release from the township issued on Tuesday, May 16. The release cites the already record-high levels of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, the projected continued increase of those levels, and the possibility of increasing westerly winds and wave uprush as the reasons for the Declared Flooding Emergency. The township has made a supply of sandbags and sand available at the Public Works garages on both Wolfe and Howe Islands as a means for residents to divert water from their properties. Residents are advised to bring their own shovel, and may fill bags to use on their properties.
“If erosion of the shoreline is a concern, placement of sand bags may assist with keeping soil in place,” the release suggests. While the Wolfe Islander III and the Frontenac County Ferry are not at risk for disrupted service at this time, the township Howe Islander and the Simcoe Islander are being “closely monitored,” the release says. Should water levels rise much higher, there is a risk that township ferry operations may be suspended until water levels drop. The township is advising residents proceed slowly and with caution through areas where water is over the road. Additionally, Frontenac Island residents are advised to: — monitor sump pumps and have alternate means of power ready; — be ready to care for yourself and family for at least 72 hours; — document any damages incurred to your property with photos, and keep receipts for expenses resulting from flooding. Retaining receipts and documenting damages will be neces-
sary in order to file any claims should the Ministry of Housing deem the zone to be eligible for Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians. The township is also asking residents to read through the information provided by KFL & A Public Health available here, and is encouraging the testing of drinking water. Test bottle are available at either township office, and can be returned to those offices for pick up by the Health Unit. Volunteers may be called into action to assist municipal resources as a result of the Declaration of Emergency, the release indicates. Those interested in volunteering are asked to register at the municipal offices. The complete release and links to the emergency plan are available here. But long before the flooding had been declared a disaster, a group of Wolfe Islanders and their supportive colleagues began their own emergency response. Organized by George and Louise Pyke, a crew of volunteers attended the Pyke’s property on Wednesday, May 10 to fi ll sandbags for any Wolfe Is-
land residents that might be in need. Over 1,000 sandbags were filled, with all sand donated by the Pykes, who also provided their volunteer crew with lunch. The sandbags were made available, free of charge, thanks to the Pyke family, and their volunteer crew of Bill Allinson, Nick Allinson, Eric Arnkele, Bruce Black, Deloris Greenwood and Dave McClement — an exemplary effort that speaks to the community camaraderie among Islanders.

Writers’ and readers’ heaven ply that all forms of writing are growing. Daily newspapers and subscribed magazines continue to struggle and die, but it’s not because people aren’t reading. Books are back in a big way. People like to read. The enjoyment of stories is in our genes. Whether it’s visual stories on the walls of caves or a new novel by Stefanie Pintoff, we humans like to be transported to other worlds. Perhaps it’s a completely fictional world where good challenges evil. Or maybe a biography takes us out of our own life and into the world of another person, and we get a glimpse of the struggles of a fellow human.
As a writer, I’m always curious where things are headed, so I keep my eye on book trends. The death-of-books doomsayers of five or 10 years ago have repeatedly been shown to be wrong. Very wrong. Not only is the written word not dying, but things are growing. That doesn’t necessarily im-
Whatever the reason, stories enchant us. According to the Los Angeles Times, about 600 million books were sold last year, more than in 2015. And in 2015, about 17 million more books were sold than in 2014. These are phenomenal numbers, considering that Chicken Little-types were boo-hooing the end of the written word a few years ago. That relatively new kid in town, the ebook, which a decade ago was predicted to become the driver of book markets with 50 per cent to 60 per cent of sales, never reached its potential. Ebook sales continue to hover around 25 per cent of
the market, not even coming close to what was predicted. And who is buying hard copy books? Teens and younger readers. Jeff Kinney’s recent Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School saw 95 per cent of its sales going to printed copies, not ebooks. The monster in terms of sales is genre fiction. The 2017 Limestone Genre Expo is just around the corner, running June 3 and 4 at St. Lawrence College. The expo celebrates the best in Canadian genre fiction. You’ll find panel discussions, workshops, readings, pitch sessions and lots of opportunities to chat with the
country’s best fantasy, horror, mystery, romance and science fiction authors. The event, now in its third year, continues its success with further growth. “Positive word is getting out about the expo,” said the event founder and organizer Liz Strange. It’s the best deal in down for writers and book lovers. The cost is only $45 (for advance tickets) for the whole weekend, with no extra costs anywhere for workshops, panels or special events.

Writers’ and readers’ heaven Continued from page 15
“We are a fun, interactive and down-toearth festival,” said Strange. “We really want readers to interact with authors, so we have intimate settings for discussion and questionand-answer sessions. There are a lot of fabulous writers in the genres. We also have a lot of good, local talent.” There are workshops and presentations for readers and writers, and there are practical sessions. For the crime or mystery writer, getting accurate facts is crucial or the story is dead before the reader even opens the book. The Limestone Genre Expo has some brilliant presentations. For example, Jeff Scott, a forensics expert with the Kingston police department, will help writers (and readers) in a question-and-answer session. How cool is that? Getting expert advice isn’t always easy, especially in areas like forensics. The Limestone Genre Expo is definitely on the right path in serving the needs of the writing community. As I write this column, a little more than two weeks prior to the event, almost 60 authors have confirmed their attendance. “I think this is a really important festival supporting homegrown authors and talent,” said Strange. “We really strive to get what people want. We take feedback seriously and plan discussions of what people want to hear. The workshops are geared to what attendees want.” This year, the Limestone Genre Expo ran a short story contest. “We’re announcing the winner on Saturday, May 27, in connection with the Kingston Frontenac Public Library’s Sherlocked week.” The announcement will be made at Kingston City Hall. The expo, which started two years ago as a one-day gathering, now runs two full days. This
year, it’s added an evening social. “On Saturday night, there’s a social at the Merchant Tap House,” said Strange. “It’s open to anyone who wants to come down and mingle.” Eight publishers will be on site. So will Crime Writers of Canada and Sisters in Crime, a female mystery crime writers organization. What does Liz Strange see as the major trend in the current publishing world? “There’s a lot of blurring of lines between genres,” she said. “I’m really excited about our lineup this year. All of our sci-fi writers except one are female, yet science fiction and fantasy have tended to be more male-dominated.” Guests of Honour at the expo include horror author Nancy Kilpatrick, fantasy author Violette Malan, mystery author Rick Blechta, New York Times bestselling romance author Eve Langlais, and science fiction author Matthew Bin. This year includes comic artists and graphic novelists. ManLoveRomance Press will be taking pitches from aspiring authors. Workshops include writing the historical mystery, an introduction to scrivener for writers, world building in urban fantasy, marketing short fiction, building readership, developing a character’s backstory and writing flash fiction. Numerous publishers and bookstores will have booths at the expo. For the best in Canadian genre, get your tickets in advance online for $45. They’ll be $50 at the door. That fee covers entry both days. “I think this is a really important festival supporting homegrown authors and talent,” said Strange. For more information, visit limestonegenreexpo.ca.

Electoral reform supporter, 75, hopes 200 km walk will make a strong statement
BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL
hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
A 200-kilometre walk from Kingston to Ottawa may seem like a daunting task for most of us, but for Ron Weigand, 75, it’s no big deal. “I walked the Camino de Santiago (800 kilometres) in Spain a couple of years ago, then I did it the following year again with my son,” Weigand explains.
So a fraction of that distance seems like nothing, especially when it’s to raise awareness of electoral reform and the case for proportional representation, a cause he truly believes in. Weigand and a core group of six or seven others were to set off from MP Mark Gerretsen’s office at 841 Princess St. at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 20. The plan was to make stops at Perth Road
Village, Westport, Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Rideau River Provincial Park, Manotick and Hog’s Back Park, before arriving at Parliament Hill on Monday, May 29, where a rally will take place led by MPs and electoral reform advocates Elizabeth May and Nathan Cullen. Well-known Canadian activists David Suzuki and Ed Broadbent will also be in attendance to support both the walk and proportional representation.

Weigand believes that the FPTP voting system upholds this order as it is susceptible to manipulation and gerrymandering tactics that benefit the wealthy. “Proportional representation is a tool we can use to fend off this control by corporations and wealthy people and to push our representatives to consider the interests of the majority. “If we don’t do this, I fear for the future of Canadians and in particular my children and grandchildren. The longer we take, the bigger the problem is, so I’m trying to do what I can.” Why start in Kingston?

STANDING IN OUR FIELD
Our farm’s community is worth being proud of
BY ARIC MCBAY
Last year our Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) farm celebrated its 10th anniversary. For a decade, Root Radical farm has been growing fresh, seasonal, local vegetables. We’ve delivered those vegetables, each week, to hundreds of families in Kingston and area through the CSA model. We’re nearly full for our 11th season, which begins in early June. Over the last 10 years farming has become both easier and harder, in different ways. Our farming lives have been made easier, in particular, by many things we have built in the last 10 years. Like an ample greenhouse that allows us to grow strong and healthy seedlings to transplant in the fi eld, and to ripen delicious tomatoes and peppers well into the fall. A large walk-in refrigerator we use on harvest days ensures the vegetables we harvest in the morning are just as fresh when we deliver them to our members in the afternoon. Not everything we’ve built has been physical infrastructure. We’ve also built the health of the soil. In organic farming, we can’t depend on fertilizers or pesticides. And by building up our topsoil (adding compost, encouraging microbial life, encouraging the soil to produce its own nutrients) we grow strong plants that are more able to fight off insects and disease. The health of people starts with the food we eat; and the health of the food we eat starts with the health of our soil. But other things have made farming harder over the last ten years. Our changing climate is
the worst of these. The heavy rainfall of the last month has made planting difficult at the same time as it has caused flooding and record high water levels for Lake Ontario. And that’s only the latest in a series of unfortunate weather records broken in the last 16 months. Last year — globally the warmest year in history — brought a record drought that withered plants in the field. And that February’s 'snowmageddon' saw a record one-day snowfall that crushed our greenhouse. (We rebuilt it.) As a farmer, these climate change trends are terrifying. Because they are almost certainly going to get worse, year after year, for the rest of our lives. The blunt truth is that individuals can’t solve vast, systemic problems like global warming. But communities can. Individual actions may by a drop in the bucket, but community action makes a difference. That’s the thing I’m most proud of about our farm: the community we’ve built. People who join our farm as members get delicious and healthy food for their families, sure, but it’s more than that. They choose to be part of a community that is trying to solve big problems like climate change by supporting sustainable farming. They choose to spend their food dollars to support fair work for local farmers, instead of giving their dollars to vast corporations that exploit migrant workers. They choose to build a connection with the land through a community farm because they want to understand where their food is coming from.
And many of them participate because they want to model those values for their children. They don’t only want to make sure their kids have healthy food, but to take community action so that those kids grow up in a world that is getting better instead of getting worse.
I’m proud of those people, and of that community, and maybe it’s a community you’ll choose to be a part of. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. Learn more about the vegetable CSA and sign up at www.rootradicalrows.com.

that they do their best with mentally ill inmates, but more could be done. “There are too many people like this in our correctional system, and that is not where they should be at all,” said Munson. “There is something wrong with our system that we have a tendency to perhaps put everyone into the same criminal melting pot. We think that we really need to take a look at another way of looking at those who have been abused in the indigenous communities, those with mental health
issues and those with autism — and they should be elsewhere.” In Kingston, the committee heard from a number of community groups during the hearing portion, including a representative of the Queen’s Law Clinic, a member of the John Howard Society, and a co-ordinator from the Canadian Families and Corrections Network. Munson hopes that the hearings will help give more perspective into the prison system itself. “You can talk to a lot of experts within the system and then you
hear from prisoners themselves, and it is totally different, and somewhere in the middle is the truth,” he said. “Hearings like this, you hear people with vested interest and not in the system, and you get a unique perspective and insights. They want to make things better in their own communities.” In Kingston, making things better in the prison system inevitably includes reopening the prison farms, and both Munson and Pate were quick to say that they fully support the reopening of the farms and they see the benefit of them. “It was very sad to see them close, “ said Pate. “Today, we heard from the men at Joyceville about the atrocious quality of the food since the farm has gone. They used to have fresh meat and vegetables and milk, and now they have powdered milk and they are having to use their own money to feed themselves from canteen.” Munson said he hopes the new advisory board that has been created works quickly to correct the closure. “Personally, reopening these farms needs to happen, and the sooner the better — and more of them, too,” he said. “You have to nurture the mind and the body if you want to rehabilitate, and the prison farms are a big step in doing just that.”

Don’t get exhausted with this common repair
“Hi Brian, We are looking at a new SUV, (Ford Escape, Toyota Rav4, and Hyundai Tucson) and others in that size range. My question is about the direct injection engines that are in a lot of these. Is the carbon build up on the intake valves a big issue with these engines? Escape has new 1.5, and 2.0 Eco-Boost engines, replacing the 1.6 and 2.0 of 1016, any issues with these that you know of ?” Thanks very much, Darren
Good question. Early direct injection engines did have some problems with this but pretty much every car-maker has now worked out the kinks with new software controlling injection and ignition timing. None of the makes/models you're looking at have any reported problems in this area to my knowledge. Don’t get exhausted. A common but expensive repair on many older vehicles is the replacement of the emissions control catalytic convertor. Whether due to poor maintenance histories or unexpected failures of related sensors and components, when your shop tells you your ride needs a new convertor, be prepared for a price shock. Many of these units on common run-of-the-mill autos run well over $1,000 (not including labour or tax). And some use multiple convertor assemblies mounted on pipes that

easily double that figure. But is there a more economical solution? First, no tech or shop worth their salt will ever recommend replacing a catalytic convertor without first checking and rectifying upstream faults. Convertors never fail on their own (except for corrosion leaks) but are usually the victims of a poorly running engine caused by any number of problems. Worn spark plugs, defective fuel and emission control sensors, and even failed head gaskets can lead to their demise to name but a few. Without first correcting any contributing problems, you can easily have to repeat the wallet-shattering convertor job again. Not all consumers know there are supplier choices when dealing with this repair and the cost differences can be astounding. Certainly you can always source convertors from the dealerships but aftermarket firms cover the majority of applications as well. Reputable companies such as Walker carry and distribute a full line of direct-fit convertors with the correct pipes and bends required for an easy fit and long lasting result. For an even less expensive option you can check out universal convertors, but beware, it will take a skilled tech with established cutting and welding skills to get these fitted without any leaks or pipe misalignment. And if your vehicle has sensors mounted directly into the convertor’s case, you’ll have to make sure the replacement universal unit has the proper fittings for these. Salvage or auto-recycling yards are still worth the call, but not all keep convertors

Eleven years later, this Canadian action sequel worth the wait My Take
MARK HASKINS
MOVIE: Bon Cop and Bad Cop 2 STARRING: Colm Feore, Patrick Huard, Lucie Laurier, Marian Mazza, Noam Jenkins and Andreas Apergis DIRECTOR: Alian Desrochers I can't believe it's been 11 years since Bon Cop Bad Cop. It was such a good film it's hard to believe it took these two guys this long to get back together, even if it was worth the wait. Detective David Bouchard (Patrick Huard) has been undercover for the last year trying to bust a car-theft ring. He's been a little out of touch so you
can imagine his surprise when his old friend Martin Ward (Colm Feore), now of the RCMP, and his team charge in on his operation to arrest everyone. It's a heck of a reunion. It seems Martin and David have been working the same case from opposite ends. Martin believes he has enough to arrest the ringleader Sylvio Dipietro (Noam Jenkins), but David senses there's something bigger going on. Martin agrees to let David go back in and see what he can find out. The truth is even wilder than anyone could have imagined. These guys aren't just stealing cars. They're turning them into bombs with plans to send them across the border. The stakes couldn't be higher for Martin and David. Bon Cop Bad Cop 2 has everything you could want in a Canadian action movie. It's in both official languages with characters smoothly switching from French to English and back again.

together is the chemistry between the two leads. Colm Feore and Patrick Huard have such an ease and natural rapport with one another it's almost a crime they haven't made more films together. They're brilliant actors, but when they are together they have these moments when they’re giving each other a hard time, and then one tells the other off, and they're laughing as only friends can. Their relationship and the way they play off each other is a large part of what makes this film so much fun to watch. What I love most about Bon Cop Bad Cop 2 is that it is an unapologetic action film. It is what it is, and what it is, is awesome. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

for their headquarters. At one point David steals Carey Price's truck, and they unmercilessly make fun of Americans. People get shot, things blow up, there are chases, and it has two cops who aren't afraid to break the rules to get the job done. On paper the plot is as outrageous as any buddy-cop film I've ever seen. What sucks you in is how intelligently it's executed. When it needs to be funny you’re laughing. When it needs to be serious you’re glued to the screen. It mixes the comedy with the action and the drama to the point where you're completely caught up in it. It's a great cast. Lucie Laurier, Marian Mazza Erik Knudsen, Catherine St.-Laurent, Noam Jenkins and Andreas Apergis are really good. Though the glue that holds any buddy-cop film

Mary didn’t need lessons on how to pray There I sat, as I did every Sunday, in the same pew, in the same row, in the same church. Only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away from the Lutheran Church in Northcote on a Sunday morning. And it was always an ordeal for me. Goodness knows, I tried my best to

understand what the minister was talking about, but as usual, I had no idea what he was saying. His very voice sent chills up my spine. I couldn’t understand why. When he came to visit, I wasn’t the least bit frightened of him, but everything changed when he came swooping down past our pew leading the choir, which that day consisted of one man and two women, all of whom had seen better days. But one thing you could say for them, they were loyal. Never missing a Sunday. Once the minister lumbered up to the pulpit, he paused, scanned the entire church, and I was absolutely sure when his eyes lit on me, he knew I was scared out of my wits. I wondered if my fright had something to do with his flowing robes, since my brother Emerson whose imagination was many notches above mine, said they reminded him of a huge black vulture getting ready to swoop down on us. His voice thundered through the church, and his face got redder and redder, and soon great beads of sweat began running onto his
black robe. But I had to pay attention, because soon he would send us children off to Sunday School. And the woman who taught us, it was rumoured, could recite the bible cover to cover, and she would be waiting for us, with her arms folded in such a way, that she reminded me of a praying mantis. We scrunched down on little red painted chairs, and I knew exactly what would happen next. She would ask us what the message was from the minister. And of course, I would have no idea. I would purposely go into a coughing fit in the hope she would bypass me and go onto one of the other poor souls waiting to be grilled on what it meant to be a Christian. Thankfully the questions would end, and the teacher would begin the lesson, which had everything to do with being a better person. We were told we had to pray a lot. Well, that was no ordeal for me. Not only did we say our prayers kneeling at Mother’s knee before we went to bed, I had long ago developed the habit of

I even prayed my red hair would turn black, and that one morning I would wake up and every last freckle would have vanished through the night. So the teacher didn’t have to talk to me about praying…no siree! And on she would go. And she always seemed to know when the last hymn was being sung upstairs, because she would tell us to bow our heads for the closing prayer. This was when I started to enjoy Sunday School. Because each of us would be given a little folded piece of shiny paper with a story printed inside, and always there was a picture of Jesus on the front page, which I loved, and which was far different from the one hanging in the church upstairs, which I thought made Him look very sad. That day I was very quiet on the way home, as I tried to figure out why Sunday church was so different from the days when we went to church for the strawberry social, the Christmas concert, the pot-luck suppers, and the oncea-year lawn social when we ran races, played ball, and ate homemade ice cream all of which I loved better than the Sunday church service. And I decided, maybe I wasn’t a very nice person. Maybe no amount of praying would make me any better. And even though I had no idea what Father meant when he said it, but I wondered if that was my fate. When someone did something just a bit off centre, or the news in the paper was doom and gloom, he would say, “the world is going straight to Hell in a basket.” I wondered. Would that too be my fate?

WHAT IS CREATIVE KIDS? With this being the launch of our first annual Creative Kids publication, we would like to extend a special thank you to all those who participated. We at The Kingston Heritage and The Frontenac Gazette couldn’t have been more pleased with the positive response and support of the local schools, teachers and businesses. As parents ourselves, with 18 children of our own, the staff at the Kingston Metroland office recognize the value in sharing our experience and fostering interest in our industry among the youth of Kingston and Frontenac. With over 20 local businesses and multiple classes from both school boards taking part, we are enthusiastically presenting our first edition of Creative Kids filled with the work of local children from Grade 4-8. Creative Kids offered students an opportunity to try their hand at advertisement design. With all the wonderful artwork submitted by students; some submitting more than one, the businesses then had the painstaking task of selecting their favourite to print in this publication. Many of the businesses have all the submitted artwork on display so please stop by and look at all the work the students submitted. As a father myself, I am very proud of this project, and see it as a phenomenal example of business and community working together to enrich the educational experience for the children in our area. I am especially grateful to Kelly from Pizza Pizza at 730 Hwy 15 for providing pizza parties to all the participating classrooms, and to Brian at the Gardiners Road Staples location for providing a special gift for all our featured artists. More than 400 students’ submitted ads for consideration and businesses were wowed by the results of their hard work. Work on the second edition of Creative Kids is already underway. Teachers who would like their class to be involved can email orose@metroland.com Space will be limited so don’t miss out.
