Revell Ford celebrates 80 years of ‘family serving family’ in Verona

By Mandy Marciniak

News –Harry Revell is nearly 90 years old, but he still remembers the day his father agreed to take on a Ford franchise like it was yesterday.

“I was nine years old,” he explained.

“Dad sold a few cars on the side for my Uncle Barney and Ford knew that of course and when things changed for Barney, Ford came to dad. We stood out here, I stood beside him, and they asked him if he wanted to own a Ford franchise. He said yes and I looked up at him and thought ‘what are you doing?’”

At the time, Revell’s father, Wesley, owned a food store and had none of the infrastructure in place for a car dealership. But that didn’t stop him.

“He tore down two houses here and put in a couple of bays and a one-room showroom and hired some guys and that is where it all started,” said Harry. “From running a food store to then building all of this, it was pretty incredible. He was a hard worker.”

Revell Ford was established in 1936 and now, 80 years later, the dealership is still going strong in Verona thanks to that hard work and the hard work of the three generations that followed.

Harry started working in the dealership nearly a decade after that initial

conversation with Ford and he remembers doing odd jobs around the business until he was able to do more.

“I sold cars once I had enough experience,” he said. “Then I just continued to learn more from there.”

Eventually, Harry and his brother Glen took over the business from their father. They ran it together for a number of years before Harry bought Glen’s portion of the business and eventually brought his own sons, Al and Larry, on board.

“I started working here in May of 1977 selling cars for my dad and I have enjoyed working alongside my father and brother ever since,” said Larry. “I sold my first car when I was around 20 years old and since then I have just learned more and more about the business.”

For Larry’s brother, Al, the family business was a natural fit and while he jokes that it was the only job offer he had, he has always enjoyed working at the dealership.

“I have always been around the dealership when I was a kid, cleaning cars and working in the different departments,” he said. “It was kind of a nobrainer to continue working here with my dad and brother.”

Revell Ford celebrates 80 years of ‘family serving family’ in Verona Larry and his brother have also seen the business grow a lot since 1977; the dealership has undergone multiple expansions over the years in both the showroom and service bays, but one thing hasn’t changed – the service.

“My grandfather was a good guy and his word meant a lot to people and same with my dad and his brother Glen,” said Al. “They were good people and reliable and after several years their reputation was strong in the community and we work to make sure it stays strong today.”

Larry echoed his brother’s thoughts

and even remembers a time when his dad suffered a financial loss to maintain his relationship with his customers.

“I remember, years ago, I was selling cars and we sold a lot of rust protection and extended warranties and then all of a sudden the rust protection company went out of business,” explained Larry. “Dad decided that he still wanted to honour all of the warranties for his customers. It probably cost us a lot of money, but it was worth it in the end, because he showed that he cared about his customers and they appreciated that.”

According to Larry, the staff also contribute to the excellent service at

Revell and many of the nearly 40 employees working there have been with the dealership for just as long, or longer, than he has.

“Some of our employees have been here for more than 40 years and they really are family too now,” he said.

“We all care a lot about the business and I think that really shows.”

That level of caring has now extended to both Larry and Al’s own sons who work at the dealership and hope to continue the family business.

“I just feel like it is such a family tradition now,” said Larry’s son Josh.

“There is so much of our family here

and we should keep that going if we can.”

Harry enjoys seeing his sons and grandsons work together around the dealership now and while he is retired, he still comes into the dealership every day.

“I like to come here and sit and talk to people and keep an eye on the boys,” he joked. “Sometimes it feels like 80 years, but they have gone by fast. I have really enjoyed seeing the dealership expand and grow over the years and I am sure it will continue to Wesley Revell, the founder of Revgrow with these boys here.”

Have a Wonderful Canada Day, Have Fun, Keep Safe and Remember to Recycle!

VACATIONING IN SOUTH FRONTENAC?

Nothing can compare to a week at the lake and in South Frontenac we have an abundance of clear lakes, beautiful trails and great cycling. The one thing that can dampen your vacation is the unsightly mess of a can or plastic bag floating by or the sounds of wildlife munching happily on garbage that was not properly disposed of. We hope you enjoy your stay but ask that you please regard our Garbage and Recycling policies. Dumping garbage at the side of the road or at the gates of a landfill on a Sunday night is not only unacceptable, it creates a huge problem for Township staff when their time could be better spent elsewhere.

Whether you are a cottage owner, renter or day tripper, please become familiar with collection dates and locations. By all means, take your memories with you but please don’t leave your garbage behind!

Any questions; contact Solid Waste Management at 613 376-3027 X 4330

Logan Anderson and Rein Olvet came over from the Perth Road Village area to participate in the first ever Tour de South Frontenac centred in Verona last Sunday “It’s a great place to cycle,” said one of the organizers Ross Sutherland. “This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage safe cycling. We had a lot of volunteers.” Photo/Craig Bakay

GARBAGE & RECYCLING – A FEW DEGREES OF SEPARATION They don‘t like each other so please don’t put them together! As there is one truck picking up the garbage then another picking up your recycling, we ask that there be a few feet of separation between them. A recycle box hidden behind garbage bags may not be seen or vice versa. A bag of garbage being set on top of a recycle bin may be misconstrued as someone forgot the rule about no bagged recycling and left. When your garbage or recycling has been left, please ask yourself why would it have been left? If we all follow the simple guidelines of collection, it will make everyone’s job easier.

Council still unsure as to how to improve pedestrian safety in Crow Lake Village Gazette News — Improving pedestrian safety in Crow Lake is still somewhat up in the air after last week’s regular Central Frontenac Council meeting in Sharbot Lake.

Primarily the issue centres on The Oaks resort, where guests often cross Crow Lake Road, which, as an arterial road, can feature relatively heavy traffic at times. The speed limit through that section is 40 kmh but residents claim the speed limit is often ignored.

In a report dated June 14, Public Works Manager John Badgley outlined several options including: • Pedestrian crossover: a controlled crossing requiring pedestrians to push a button that activates overhead flashing beacons giving them the right of way. These systems cost between $60,000 and $80,000 and motorists sometimes do not observe them. Pedestrians sometimes cross without activating the beacons.

• Courtesy crossing: uncontrolled crossings that do not give the pedestrian the right-of-way, in other

words, vehicles do not have to stop.

The cost for line markings and signs is between $4,000 and $6,000.

Speed bumps: while speed bumps can slow traffic, they are not really designed for pedestrian crossings and can cause problems for large trucks, emergency vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles and those with accessibility issues. They also present problems for snow plowing. Cost is between $2,000 to $3,000.sd Electronic speed signs: designed to warn vehicles of their current speed and flash warnings. They tend to be effective initially but eventually vehicles return to their normal speed, Badgley’s report said. The cost is between $10,000 and $12,000.

Traffic signs: designed to inform vehicles of road conditions ahead, these signs would likely say ‘Caution: Pedestrian Crossing’ but they are not intended to function as a crosswalk. Costs are between $1,000 and $1,500.

Increased police presence: effective while police are around, and would likely require requests

from residents.

Filling in for the vacationing Badgley, road superintendent Rick Commodore suggested another option might be temporary speed bumps which could be removed in winter months, when tourist traffic is much lower, to facilitate snow removal.

“I stood at the side of the road for awhile watching vehicles pass

and even 40 kmh seems high,” Commodore said. “Perhaps an even lower speed limit might be warranted.”

“I’m not sure the OPP can enforce limits lower than 40 kmh,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. “We should investigate what the provincial standards are.”

“OPP can only enforce within

those provincial standards,” said Mayor Frances Smith.

“And we have to keep in mind emergency vehicle response times,” said Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald.

Council passed a motion to accept Badgley’s report and directing staff to investigate costs for crossing signs and the cost of three temporary speed bumps.

Sharbot Lake Pharmacy celebrates 25 years in business with barbecue

By Craig Bakay

Gazette News — Ask Nick Whalen about his business and the first thing he’ll tell you is “we love living here.”

And it shows.

Nick and Jocelyn, his pharmacist wife of 26 years, opened the Sharbot Lake Pharmacy 25 years ago and other than the annoyances of going through three renovations, he doesn’t have a negative thing to say.

“Well, there won’t be any more renovations,” he said.

Twenty-six years ago, Jocelyn was

in a partnership at another pharmacy and sold her part of the business to that partner. Because of a non-competition clause in the agreement, she couldn’t open another pharmacy within five miles of Kingston.

Her father had a cottage in the area and suggested they look at either Tamworth or Sharbot Lake. As luck would have it, there was a gift shop for sale (yes, their current location on Elizabeth Street) and they decided to buy them out, building and inventory.

And they haven’t regretted one minute of it, renovations not withstanding.

“I worked at the grocery store for quite awhile and you’d know faces, but not names so much,” she said. “Nick and Jocelyn are probably the best thing to happen to Sharbot Lake.

“I wish I’d crossed the road sooner.”

Joan Monk agrees, and she’s been with the Whalens for 20 years.

“It’s a fantastic job, you couldn’t ask for nicer people to work for,” Monk said. “I can’t always stop counting pills to chat but I can usually casually wave while I keep counting.

“A lot of customers I’ve known for the entire 20 years I’ve worked here.

Jocelyn especially has developed a reputation for being a real mother hen to her customers, something Mayor Frances Smith noted in her mayor’s remarks to Council.

“Well, every person is important to her,” Nick said. “That’s no different from any pharmacist.

“But when they come in even with a cold or something, they expect Jocelyn to talk to them.

“And even on a buy day, she does just that.”

And, they like to think they know the names of their customers, not just the faces. That’s something Mary Burke, who’s worked for them for

“Her parents used to come and visit us for dinner every Sunday,” he said.

They’ve had to adapt the business in some ways, such as the fact that unlike urban pharmacies, their customers are often coming from some distance and when they get here, they can’t really come in and say “I’m here and I’ll go do some shopping while my prescription is being filled.”

“That can be a challenge on a busy day but we’ve adopted an automated phone system so they can tell us when they’re coming and usually their prescription is ready when they get here,” he said.

Gazette News — The Central Frontenac tourist kiosk has been given a bit of a facelift with a new flag and it’s been moved closer to the road.

A few years ago it resided near the Beer Store and LCBO but was moved to the PetroCan when space became limited on the other side of Hwy 7. But it wasn’t getting used much so the Economic Development Committee asked PetroCan owner Bob Basra if they could move in and he agreed. “It was tucked away in the bushes and not used very much,� said committee member Karen McGregor. “There’s a visitors log there that hopefully people will use and we’re working on getting a courtesy phone that people can use to call the B & Bs or the motel and restaurants as well as wifi if we can get power there.�

They’d also like to get some people to staff it. “When the Land O’ Lakes Tourist Association put it up, there was usually a summer student there to answer questions and give directions but there’s been no money in the budget for that,� she said. “We’re looking at applying for a grant under the 150th anniversary program but in the meantime, if there’s a student or two who need their community hours, we’d love to talk to them.�

McGregor said the EDC has been “going

crazy trying to come up with something� to aid business growth but the balance between maintaining the area lifestyle with the need to maintain services has been a bit of a challenge. “We need to have economic development to pay taxes that pay for services,� she said. “Now I don’t think development means tearing up roads and changing lifestyles. “We’re not talking about building a WalMart but we’ll have to sit down and decide what The tourist kiosk at the PetroCan in Sharbot Lake has been moved closer to the road. we want to do as a community.�

McGregor and her compatriots acknowledge Photo/Craig Bakay that the tourism and FAB (food and beverage) industries are very important to this area and in that respect, “we haven’t really kept up. “We need to work on our internet presence because things have changed. “When people look for a travel destination these days, they don’t just head out on the road, they go to Google first.�

McGregor said she’d like to see something like the Havelock Country Jamboree to bring people into the area to show what we have to offer. (Yes, we do have Blue Skies but tickets for that can be harder to come by than Maple Leafs tickets as Blue Skies regulars are given first priority.) “In the meantime, we’ll continue to work on the kiosk because that’s an asset we already have,� she said. “We’re trying to encourage local businesses to keep it stocked with their latest brochures.�

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Jays looking good, for the moment, well, at least as of this writing Column — It’s a beautiful day today, let’s talk baseball. Specifically, let’s talk Blue Jays baseball.

I’m still not sold on John Gibbons as a manager but as long as they keep winning, I can live with him. (On the other hand, Gibby seems like he’d be a great guy to have a beer and watch a game with, it’s just that he sucks at handling pitchers and I may never forgive him for letting the regulars go on a threeday bender after clinching the East last year.)

Right now, the Jays have the fourth best record in the American League, which is only good for third in the AL East behind the Orioles and Bosox. If you told me before the season started that we’d be getting the starting pitching we’ve gotten this year, I’d have told you we’d be running away with it by now given the Jays’ offence but the baseball

gods giveth and the baseball gods taketh away.

However, there are signs that the Jays offence, which last year led the world in everything except stolen bases, is starting to come around.

Reigning MVP Josh Donaldson appears to have his act together and catcher Russell Martin, who seemed intent on maintaining a Buck Martinez impersonation this season, seems to have his stroke back.

And Edwin Encarnacion is Edwin.

Every year, old parrot-arm can’t hit a bull in the butt with a scoop shovel until May rolls around. Then, as the weather warms up, so does Edwin and right now he’s leading the league in ribbies.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ll be just as happy if Troy Tulowitzki doesn’t make it back any time soon. I think Tulo’s feathers were ruffled when he got traded and the way Darwin Barney’s been playing, letting Tulo stew in the minors might just be the best thing for him right now.

However, the biggest controversy seems to be how many innings should

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

Aaron Sanchez start. It’s all the rage right now to ‘protect’ young pitchers by limiting the number of innings they pitch but I don’t think that’s the real motivation for Gibbons wanting him back in the bullpen.

Gibby loves to yank pitchers. And, he loves to have one or two guys to go to. Sanchez was one of those guys last year and often was Gibby’s safety net.

For my money, Sanchez is the best starter they’ve got and if they really need somebody in the pen, bring up Drew Hutchinson. Hutch kinda sucked as a starter anyways.

Or for that matter, Marcus Stroman’s run is done. The rest of the league has figured him out and until he figures that out (plus the fact that he’s useless if he pitches above the belt), all the cockiness and swagger in the world isn’t going to lower his ERA. Put him in the pen until he remembers how to keep his pitches down.

At any rate, there’s still a lot of baseball left to be played this season and hopefully the Jays will still be in the thick of it come September.

Tragedy in Orlando emphasizes need for stricter gun control in America We were horrified and heartbroken last week at the news of the carnage at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. How could a single person be responsible for taking so many lives and shattering so many others? The news that the killer professed an allegiance to the Islamic State during his spree certainly is not insignificant in this, the deadliest shooting massacre in the U.S. history; however, we must resist the temptation to boil it all down to one particular cause and cast everything in black and white terms.

Indeed, the portrait that has begun to emerge of the murderer is one of a person angry at the world - at the LGBT community, at women, at African Americans and nearly everyone else – including himself. His first wife, who had to be rescued by family from an abusive relationship, attested to a violent and unstable person full of hate for the world.

But bigotry, intolerance and angry, confused young men are common across all cultures; in only one country does the problem seem to compound with such frequency to have such terrifying results. We believe the time is long overdue for the United States to come out from under the NRA’s thumb and connect the dots. Its political class needs to recognize that there’s a strong correlation between the easy availability of powerful firearms and the tragedies that are befalling the country on an almost daily basis. At this point, it’s worth reiterating that relatively few of the mass shootings – let alone gun violence crimes in general - that have occurred in the U.S. have been ISIS-inspired, while hundreds of others were carried about by more locally inspired deranged individuals.

Why not focus upon the means by which these people are choosing to commit these atrocities? Suicide prevention groups have focused on denying suicidal people the means for almost as long as they’ve existed – wouldn’t it make sense to do the same with other potentially unstable individuals? We were absolutely stunned to learn that people on the nofly list, or who were the subjects of FBI investigations are so easily able to obtain that level of firepower. We absolutely believe the U.S. should institute a ban on all assault style rifles such as the AR-15. Sadly, there are already 15 million of these weapons of war in circulation, so merely banning their sale will not alone take away the threat they pose (absent a recall or government confiscation: a nightmare scenario for a broad segment of the American population).

No, fighting against something this deeply ingrained in American culture will take decades of slow, methodical and uneven advocacy; lengthy court battles; and public-service campaigns.

The rest of the world is watching and waiting, America. It’s time for your politicians to wake up and join the 21st century when it comes to gun control.

Central approves line painting contract for 38, 509

By Craig Bakay

Gazette News — The lines on Roads 38 and 509 will be getting a new coat of paint this year.

Clerk Cathy MacMunn told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake that the company doing the painting for South Frontenac and North Frontenac was prepared to do the same work for Central on its way through for the same price as the other two townships if the work were done now.

“The price is $161 per kilometre if we sign a contract for three years,” MacMunn said. “If not, the price would be $171 per kilometre.”

MacMunn said that the Township has 156 kilometres of line painting to do this year.

“I’ve looked at the lines on the road and it’s certainly needed,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “It’s in the budget and we have in the past partnered with our neighbours to get the best price.”

••• Don’t expect much more work on Henderson Road than what was originally proposed. It turns out that because of an oversight, enough gravel wasn’t factored into the price and more needed to be ordered.

“The contract was for $124,000 but that didn’t include enough gravel,” said Clerk Cathy MacMunn. “It looks like the cost will be more like $160,000.”

“So, we won’t be getting any extra culverts or things,” said Mayor Frances Smith.

••• Mayor Frances Smith told Coun-

cil she was in Northbrook last week to present a $12,500 cheque to Pine Meadows Nursing Home to assist with their project to replace 11 bay windows. The Central Frontenac donation brings the funds raised so far to more than $60,000. The total cost is $136,000.

“I told them they should come back to County Council while I’m still Warden,” Smith said.

••• May was a slow month for construction in Central Frontenac, dropping to the lowest level in three years with only $88,000 in building permits sold. As of June 1, the yearly total is $1.2 million com-

they found some “discrepancies” between the property counts given the OPP for billing and the population growth the mayors have been recognizing in their municipalities.

Kingston Penitentiary opens its doors to visitors Rob Mooy

Kingston Penitentiary Photo/Rob Mooy

For over a century many tried to get out, but now thousands are lining up to get into Kingston’s historic Kingston Penitentiary.

The Provincial Penitentiary of the Province of Upper Canada opened in 1835 with the arrival of just six inmates. The facility changed its name to Kingston Penitentiary (KP) 32 years later, in 1867.

For the first 99 years both women and men were incarcerated within its walls. In its early days, some prisoners as young as eight were kept there for crimes as simple as stealing a loaf of bread.

Before it was shuttered in 2013, the facility housed between 350 and 500 inmates, plus another 120 at the Regional Treatment Centre contained within the prison.

KP was Canada’s oldest prison when inmates and staff finally left for the last time. The impressive structure has since stood empty, except during a brief time in the fall of 2014, when some 18,000 vis-

itors toured the prison during a series of fundraising tours.

This summer, a new series of tours will offer a rare opportunity to go behind the walls of Canada’s oldest and most notorious maximum security prison.

“Kingston Pen is a landmark site in Kingston and we can feel the excitement in the community as they anticipate the start of the tours,” explains Darren Dalgleish, general manager and CEO of the St. Lawrence Parks Commission. “Our team looks forward to delivering an exceptional and memorable tour experience this summer. This initiative is a great example of community partners working together with a common vision to develop a new experience for residents and that will drive visitors to the city.”

SLPC has hired over 30 students to act as tour guides supported by retired Corrections Service Canada employees who share stories about life in the prison at stops along the tour route.

Ninety-minute guided tours will give visitors a rare chance to stroll through the looming front doors of this national historic site and learn about life in this onetime maximum security prison that used to house some of the country’s most dangerous criminals.

Mary Lynn O’Shea worked as an Eng-

lish teacher in the prison school for eleven years until the prison closed.

“It was wonderful teaching inside the walls of KP,” says O’Shea who had previously spent 32 years teaching in Ottawa area schools, including a stint as a high school principal. “I needed a change, so I found a note in the paper, came to the meeting and decided I would like to work here. It was a wonderful experience.”

The school within the prison regularly had 50-80 students, 12 in her English class.

Now retired, she took with her many special memories.

“The relationship between teacher and students was very good,” she explains.

“School was a haven for the inmates. It was a place they could come and they enjoyed it. Most worked pretty well, and we all had a good time.”

It was when inmates worked independently when she most enjoyed her time teaching, talking to and helping each inmate individually with his studies.

“But, every so often when I had to talk - because I came from traditional teaching where the teacher talks all the time, which by the way didn’t really work in here – I would every so often say ‘close up your books’. We would talk for a while.

I would try to work some English into it, but it didn’t always happen that way.

“We worked without security R0013760403 within the school, and there was a real sense of trust here.”

Teaching inmates had its advantages she explains. “I never got a parent phone call or had to cleanup after a student food fight.”

At another stop along the tour you may find Jerry Carmichael, a Gananoque native who worked for CSC as a prison guard for 32 years, 10 of them at KP. “I started in 1966, as a grade one guard,” says Carmichael. Later in his career he returned to the prison as a correctional supervisor in 1980.

So many things happened within these walls. Most days were like any other, but there were some suicides, attempted escapes, inmate altercations and even an occasional riot, he explains. (Kingston Pen experienced three major riots within its walls, the third and most serious in April 1971) There were good memories as well - mostly, the camaraderie and great support between corrections staff, which kept everyone and everything humming along.

Carmichael recalls he was always happy to bid farewell to inmates who had served out their sentence or were on early parole. He remembers taking them to the train, shaking hands with them and saying “goodbye and hope to never see you again.

“Fortunately, for some, you never did see them again. Others we would take to the train, shake their hands hoping to never see them again, and next week they were back entering the prison on the fishline. All part of life inside a prison.”

Tours of the prison cell blocks, inmate workshops and recreational grounds will run about 30 times daily every Tuesday through Sunday, June 16 to September 4. Fall tours will operate Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 22 to Oct. 31.

General admission tickets will be sold for $25 per person (plus taxes and fees). Kingston residents can take advantage of a special local Tuesday rate of $20 per person (plus tax and fees). Kingston area residents will simply enter their postal code to receive the preferred local rate. Proof of ID to ensure residency may be requested upon arrival for the tour.

Tickets will be available online only at www.kingstonpentour.com.

All tickets are final sale with no refunds or cancellations. Children 14 years of age and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

Net proceeds of the tours will support tourism and destination marketing initiatives, as well as youth programs through the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington.

Skeleton Park Arts Festival returns to its roots under direction of new organization

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

ney Park Neighbourhood Association, Tilson started the then-named Skeleton Park Music Festival in 2005. For the past several years, it’s been presented by the Kingston Arts Council while he served as artistic director.

Now, a new chapter has begun with the formation of a non-profit organization called Skeleton Park Arts, which Tilson started with codirectors Wendy Henderson Total Huot and Matt Rogalsky.

Events - For over a decade, the Skeleton Park Arts Festival has been a favourite annual event among those in the neighbourhood for which it’s named, as well as the larger Kingston community.

This year, it’s returning to its roots,

says festival founder and artistic director Greg Tilson.

“You can see that reflected in this year’s programming,” he explains.

“It’s very much about the neighbourhood, the Skeleton Park area, which is such a vibrant place – a lot of artists and creative people.”

Working closely with the McBur-

fer year-round programming,” Tilson says. “So you’ll see a lot more of us.

The timing is right, the neighbourhood is really blossoming, and now we have an organization that can show it off.”

In addition to featuring big names like Sloan, much of this year’s festival is indeed focused on the neighbourhood itself. The opening day (Wednesday, June 22), for example, will feature a free barbeque and concert with the popular band Lost Cousins in Douglas Fluehr Park.

“It’s kind of significant that we’re choosing that location,” Tilson notes. “[The future of the park] is a political topic. There’s a visioning process going on called the North King’s Town Visioning exercise, and City planners are seeking vision statements from the surrounding neighbourhood about what’s needed for the future of this neighbourhood and the park.”

City planners will be on hand to gather feedback from the public at the event.

Other neighbourhood-focused highlights: a Daybreaker Dance Party

“It’s kind of a special performance on many levels,” Tilson says, explaining that Rae is a transgendered performer featured in a film called My Prairie Home. “It’s about Rae’s experience growing up in a Pentecostal home on the prairies. We’re going to screen it following Rae’s performance.”

He remarks that events such as the film screening, which is presented in partnership with the ReelOut Film Festival and Kingston Pride, are also ways to join the conversation on larger national and international issues.

“It’s timely with the introduction of Bill C-16 and introducing transgendered language into our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Criminal Code, and of course we’re on the heels of an international tragedy coming out of Orlando. It feels good from an arts perspective that we can partner together and do programming that can be very relevant.”

Many events for kids and grownups of all ages are scheduled throughout the five-day festival, which runs June 22-26. As always, all events are free of charge.

A full listing can be found at www. skeletonparkartsfest.ca. The vast majority of events will take place in Skeleton Park and the surrounding area. Both the Saturday and Sunday will feature full line-ups of performances in the park throughout the day, as well as local food vendors and activities for kids.

‘They had so much life left to live’: Kingstonians come together for vigil supporting Orlando victims

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Market Square was filled with love, pride, remembrance and light on the evening of June 13 as hundreds of Kingstonians gathered for a vigil to show their support for the LGBT community and to remember the lives lost in Orlando just one day before.

Kingston Pride organized the event, but according to chair Daryl Fraser, it was really a whole community effort.

“We have a fantastic community here in Kingston,” he said. “Everyone really came together and while we are sad the events in Orlando happened,

this is not the first time something like this has happened and we aren’t going to hide from it.”

As news broke on Sunday morning about the events at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, many watched in shock. For members of the LGBT community the events were especially difficult to deal with.

“It is horrible and I was in shock,” said Jean-Yves Morin. “Tears keep coming and going and I don’t know what to think and it is hard to do anything else.”

Morin had hoped that an event would be organized in Kingston on Sunday night, but was still grateful that the community came together the follow-

ing day.

“I felt there was an immediacy about it and we needed to come together right away,” he said. “I felt alone last night in my sadness, but I am thankful for tonight. I feel supported and proud of my community.”

At the vigil, community members lit candles, they walked around rows of chalk hearts bearing the names of the 49 victims in Orlando and they heard from numerous city officials who came out to support the cause.

“It is a sad reality that people in our world today face hatred and threats of violence because of their race, their religion or their sexual orientation or their

gender or their culture,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. “But I believe that as we continue to fight together, one person at a time, one day at a time we can build a better world starting right here in Kingston and moving out, a world where hatred and violence are things of the past.”

The vigil concluded with a reading of the victims’ names and a group singing of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ and while many had tears in their eyes as they sang, they were also happy to have the support of the community with them “It is everyone’s community and it affects us all and it is part of the greater picture of people,” said Nicole Darbey.

“It is emotional being here, but the representation is overwhelming.”

Organizer Keith Bilow was also impressed with the community response and he hopes that an event like this will show members of the LGBT community, now and in the future, that they are safe and supported.

“People need to know that we are standing in support of each other and we are not going to hide or go away,” he said. “We want to make sure that the generation behind us has a safe place to be. There are LGBT teens that are coming up and they need to know that they can live in a safe place and be supported by their community.”

Celebrating 175 years: events highlight meeting of the first parliament of the Province of Canada

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – 1841 was a big year for Kingston; not only was it the year Queen’s University and the Kingston Police Force were formed, but it was also the year Kingston became the first capital of the Province of Canada.

As part of this new title, Kingston hosted the first meeting of parliament for the new Province of Canada. The meeting took place in what is now the Watkins Wing of Kingston General Hospital and while the official parliament business was taken care of on the following day, June 15, members of parliament met for the first time on June 14.

To commemorate these historical events, members of the community gathered on June 14 to cel-

ebrate both Kingston and Canada’s history. The day kicked off with a very special unveiling at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre at Queen’s University.

“We have a stained glass window that is believed to have been installed in the main building of KGH and was there when the first meeting of parliament took place in 1841,” explained Alicia Boutillier, curator of Canadian Historical Art at the Agnes. “There are very few known objects from Kingston from that period, so this piece is very special and it helps tell the story of Kingston being the first capital.”

The window was acquired by the Canadian Museum of History in the 1960s and has been there since, but the museum was happy to loan it to the Agnes for this very special milestone.

“Many Canadians don’t realize

that Kingston was once the capital of the united Upper and Lower Canada so it is great to have opportunities like this to remind people of the key role that Kingston has played in our nations history,” said Tim Fo-

ran, curator, British North America at the Canadian Museum of History at the unveiling. “This window also emphasizes the undeniable power that authentic artefacts have to connect us to our history.”

The window will be on display at the gallery until Aug. 28 and will also tie in nicely with the current summer exhibits on display, especially the gallery’s ‘Art Scenes Kingston’ display.

“That exhibit looks at three decades of the cultural scene in the city including the 1840’s,” explained Boutillier. “It is wonderful to see what Kingstonians would have been looking at in Kingston at that time and this enhances that exhibit. It is a real honour for us to showcase this piece.”

In addition to the stained glass window installation, members of the Kingston community also gathered in front of the Watkins Wing at KGH on June 14.

While the original building at KGH was built in 1835 with the purpose of serving as a hospital, limited funds made operations difficult. The hospital saw its first patients in 1838, but shortly after it closed again. So in 1841, when Governor General Lord Sydenham declared Kingston the first capital, KGH became a fitting location for the house of government.

“The goal of the individuals working inside has remained pretty much the same over the past 175 years – to serve the people in the city of Kingston and the country of Canada,” said KGH Board Chair, Scott Carson. “We hope to continue shaping the history of Canada from these buildings and while no longer through developing states and laws, we look to pioneer innovative healthcare practices and conduct health care research to improve the lives of Canadians.”

City officials were also on hand to mark the milestone and MP Mark Gerretsen talked about how he feels representing his riding and its history when he attends parliament in Ottawa today.

“It is a very unique sense of pride that the Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands gets to have when you are in Ottawa because you know that Kingston was really the first capital,” he said.

“You get to walk around with a bit of a smirk on your face knowing that your riding was such a huge part of Canadian history.”

Mayor Bryan Paterson echoed these thoughts in his own statement and encouraged everyone to feel proud of their city and its history.

“We were only the capital for a short period of time and I may be biased in saying this, but I think we did it best,” he said. “We set a high bar for Montreal and Ottawa as the capitals that followed and we should be proud of our city.”

Kingston Sister shares stories, offers advice in honour of 100th birthday hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

to become a nun.

“She was a wonderful girl and belonged to a wonderful family,” Anna recalls. “She was to come here to Heathfield on Aug. 15, 1932, but in June she and a group of her friends went swimming in the bay. She struck her head on a rock and she was killed.”

Shortly after, a young boy who was a mutual friend met Anna on the street.

“He said, ‘Anna, you’ve got to go and take her place’. And that was the first time I ever thought of it.”

Three months later, the boy died in a car accident.

“I’ve thought ever since that he lived to tell me that,” she says. “I firmly do believe that. He got me in here and that was it.”

Anna has lived a full life with the Sisters of Providence. In her early years, she finished high school, attended teachers’ college and earned a degree from Queen’s. She enjoyed a long career as a teacher, which be-

gan at a small school in Apple Hill, Ontario. Over the years, she taught at schools in Gananoque, Smiths Falls, Kingston, Belleville and Brantford, and served as a vice principal in Camrose, Alberta and later principal at an elementary school in Trenton.

Anna notes that several of her former students live in the area and sometimes come to visit her at the Motherhouse.

So what has Anna learned in her 100 years of living? What advice does she have for young people today?

“I think they all have to follow their own inspirations,” she says.

“Just live your life one day at a time and do as the spirit inspires you.”

In choosing to become a nun, Anna dedicated her life to the rule of her congregation and the mission of The Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul: to empower the vulnerable through compassionate service, advocacy and networking and share spiritual, human and financial re-

Sister Anna Moran, who turned 100 years old on June 19, may not be Kingston’s oldest nun - that title belongs 102-year-old Sister Anne Louise Haughian - but having entered the sisterhood at the young age of 17, Anna is the longest-serving living sister. She’s also close to breaking the record for the longest-serving sister of all time.

So how does she feel about these milestones?

“I don’t know whether there’s anything special to it,” says Sister Anna, who’s still remarkably sharp for a centenarian.

Part of the secret, she explains, is to continue to exercise your mind, which she does by reading voraciously (mostly murder mysteries) and playing cards and word games.

Rumour has it she also has a penchant for speed: the settings on the scooter she uses to get around had to be turned down because she was zipping about the grounds of the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul too fast.

Anna spends a lot of time calling on her fellow sisters.

“We have a lot of disabled people,” she says. “I go to their rooms and visit them.”

One of her favourite people to visit is Sister Aileen Donnelly, a good friend and the only one still around from Anna’s early days as a nun.

While 99-year-old Aileen doesn’t have the health of Sister Anna, she always recognizes her old friend.

“The first thing she says is ‘we go back a long time don’t we’,” Anna says. “Once in a while she’ll have a day where she’s so bright, and we’ll talk about all the things we did when Sister Anna - Sister Anna Moran at the Providence Motherhouse on the we were young.”

So what was it that inspired eve of her 100th birthday. Behind her stands the only tree on the prop17-year-old Anna to join the sister- erty that is older than she is.

sources to promote justice and peace for all creation.

She adds that she’s also come to realize that people in general are good, and she sees this goodness every day in her fellow sisters. While the sisters’ numbers may be dwindling, Anna says she continues to draw inspiration from the women around her, who now include sis-

ters from the Congregation of Notre Dame and the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph.

“We’re never finished,” she says.

“We have wonderful sisters - wonderful, wonderful women. We’re all getting old and everybody is just as sincere about everything they’re doing…I’m amazed that people so old as we are can keep it up.”

First Capital Jennifer Markland, a member with the Historical Costume Club of Kingston, shows Samantha Newell and Madison Cuddon Laveault, both Grade 4 students at Lord Strathcona Public School, what it was like to wash clothes in the 1840s during First Capital Day celebrations in City Park, June 15. Hundreds of school groups and families took part in the day-long party celebrating Kingston’s role as the First Capital of United Canada from 1841-1844.

The event is held yearly on this day, which is when then Governor General Lord Sydenham declared parliament open in Kingston, in1841. Participants had the chance to see history come alive through music and dance, demonstrations, and interactive displays such as spinning and weaving, aboriginal drumming and dancing, rope making, Victorian toys and games, blacksmithing and military musters.

Local author Liz Strange has been selected by Women in Film & Television (WIFT) as one of the participants in its 2016 Development Incubator program in Toronto.

The program supports market-driven feature films and a new generation of Canadian feature film professionals. Strange is teamed with producer Donna Davies of Ruby Tree Films of Nova Scotia.

About a year ago, Strange reached out to Davies in hopes of finding a producer.

“I cold-called her when I was researching and trying to find independent Canadian producers willing to look at screenplays,” said Strange.

“She was wonderful when she got back to me. She read five of my screenplays and liked them all. We settled on Thicker Than Water. It’s based in a modern setting and wouldn’t be a big budget film. Genre works usually have huge budgets.”

For the past year, Strange and Davies were communicating back and forth, working to get people on board.

“We’re always keeping an eye open cial viability. for grants and better opportunities and “I’m sort of shocked, but at the same this [WIFT] came up,” said Strange. time I’m not,” said Strange. “I knew it “Donna’s a member of the WIFT At- was a good story.

The 2016 Development Incubator program is a four-day intensive event where filmmakers are aligned with people from the film and TV industries.

From June 21 through June 24, participants work with distributors, script editors and producers from the industry.

“This will give me the inside scoop,” said Strange. “They give this opportunity when they think you’re ready to do it.”

She said the screenplay for Thicker Than Water is a raw look at life, but it also has a humorous side.

“It’s a true indie drama that focuses on the LGBT community,” said Strange. “It’s really a look at life, with some funny moments. It’s about relationships. No one thing inspired it. I’m a big LGBT supporter. I always have been.”

She explained that Thicker Than Water is about a man in his early 30s who is hiding the fact that he is gay from his family. He has a younger sister who overdoses and dies. Her younger daughter is thrust back into the man’s life. The precocious 12-year-old girl has been exposed to a lot of inappropriate things in her life. Her grandparents can’t handle her, and she ends up spending time with her gay uncle.

“A lot of it comes down to dialogue,” said Strange. “The guy is an average, middle class Joe. The man and his niece see each other’s lies.

The girl calls him out on it. There are some really funny and touching moments between them.

I think it’s a really good story, one of those ones that does really well with audiences and critics on the festival circuit.”

Strange does not typically write traditional dramas, as she prefers to focus on horror and science fiction, although she has written a couple of action screenplays. She thinks the timing could be good for Thicker Than Water.

“There’s a real turn in the screenwriting market because of an oversaturation of big splashy superhero movies,” she said. “There is not a lot of drama or even art pieces.”

Strange said she loves to watch artistic works with great performances and cinematography.

Women in Film and Television has support

from NBC Universal and Telefilm Canada.

If things are tough for women on screen, often limited to “cute” or “provocative” typecast roles, they are equally bad behind the scenes.

According to Karen Ward Mahar, author of Women Filmmakers in Early Hollywood, in the early 20th century around the 1910s women were fully accepted in every aspect of the film industry. At that time, film very much existed within a theatrical framework with an egalitarian culture where men and women were each involved in the same types of jobs. Women worked as writers, directors and producers.

But within ten years, everything had changed.

By the 1920s, exhorbitant star actors’ salaries and huge movie budgets led to the development of the studio system, which became a reflection of the American business scene, with a resultant masculinization of the power in the industry. As movies became big business, women were cast to the sidelines and to roles onscreen that exploit physical characteristics.

Not a lot changed over 100 years. No woman was even nominated for a directorial Academy Award until Lina Wertmuller in 1977. It wasn’t until 2008 and Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker win that a female director finally received an Academy Award.

Organizations like Women in Film and Television (WIFT), a global organization with more than 40 chapters, and Women Make Movies (WMM) are working to change the scene for women in the industry.

This year they’ve selected Liz Strange for their screenplay development program.

Mary learns there is always something to be done in the household Mary Cook

COLUMNIST editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Sitting on a straight-back kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better. It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception. All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play.

And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times.

Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and piecrusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb. My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long day ahead of me. Making me even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey were completely ignoring me and the long sighs.

Finally, I could stand it no longer, and that’s when I made my mistake. I said, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Without taking her eyes off the piecrusts, Mother said, “Wonderful. We’re getting low on dishcloths. Get the ball of string out of the cupboard, and knit up a dish cloth.”

Well! That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job

was as boring as sitting with nothing to do. And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul!

“Well?” Mother said. It was more of a command than a question.

I was in charge of all the string that came into the house. Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string. It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard.

I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair. Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square. Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches!

The dishcloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small hanky!

My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table. I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon! After about 10 minutes I was almost asleep in the chair. This was more boring than having nothing to do!

Finally I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later.

Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well, I would never get back to the knitting. ‘You know what I think about quitters,” she said, never taking her eyes off the

filled pies.

Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it. She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags, which would serve as tea towels. Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making. “Mary would you come over here please? I think this apron is too long for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.”

She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again. Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it.

For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model. Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for size. Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer. She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles.

Upper Canada Village: A time machine to the past Continued from page 6

On the Saturday (August 20) in the fair grounds, the Iron Pan competition is returning.

«It›s set up with four chefs we invite from Ottawa, Cornwall and Kingston,» said Le Clair. «Each chef gets a mystery box of ingredients. There›s a pantry stocked with fresh ingredients, many from our own gardens. The chefs choose what they want from the pantry and then they›ve got 30 minutes to cook.

There are mirrors overhead, so people can keep walking around and see what each chef is doing.

These are chefs with amazing skills.»

Le Clair said there are other food opportunities throughout the weekend. Each is connected to the 19th century. The bakery will be using its wood-fired ovens. There›s a beehive oven near Cook›s Tavern, where a chef from Cornwall will be creating artisan pizzas using Village heritage ingredients. The pizzas will be baked in the wood-fired oven then offered to visitors who want to purchase their heritage meal on the spot.

Also on the August 20 and 21 weekend, in the Village fairgrounds you›ll find a farmers› market with regional food, wine and beer vendors.

Willard’s Hotel Restaurant will be featuring a Food Lovers’ Special over the weekend. Reservations are recommended for Willard›s (make your reservation by calling 613-543-0660.)

All of the things mentioned above are in addition to Upper Canada Village›s ongoing programs and attractions. After decades of visiting this site, I›m always thrilled to be there. The slow pace and quiet atmosphere lend themselves to personal or family relaxation. At the same time, exciting programs are offered daily.

If you visit Upper Canada Village, there›s a reciprocal deal with Fort Henry. When you get your ticket at UCV, you›ll get another ticket to come another time, or you can use your second day to visit Fort Henry sometime before September 4. Likewise, when you visit Fort Henry in Kingston, you can use your reciprocal ticket to visit Upper Canada Village.

There is so much going on at Upper Canada Village, so keep your eyes on this column later in the season for another story about upcoming events at the historical setting, one of Canada›s finest tourist sites.

Wolfe Island Historical Society awarded for excellence

by Margaret Knott

News - Since its inception, the Wolfe Island Historical Society has played an important role in the community bringing to light the many stories of the island’s people , their lives, their history and the situations that one previously could only imagine island communities like Wolfe and Simcoe Islands could tell. Recalling the day the Society was born is easy.

An invitation went out to the community inviting anyone interested “in forming a historical society” to a meeting at the General Wolfe Hotel. It came from a relatively new resident , the late Victoria Stewart, and Theresa Broeders . “Vicki” , a Canadian history enthusiast was fascinated with Wolfe Island’s stories. Theresa (MacDonald) Broeders, is island born and raised.

And people came. They too interested in island history.

An executive was formed and plans for the future were discussed. Named to the executive: President-Captain Brian Johnson; Vice President-Hank Connell; Secretary, Vicki Stewart; Treasurer Brian MacDonald. John O’Shea, and Donna Ivy were among others attended.

The proposed mission of the society was “ to protect, promote and preserve the heritage of Wolfe Island.” The immediate areas of interest , which remain

today, included genealogy of island families and general island history.

Now also included is accumulating heritage items for the “Old House “ Museum which itself came about in the intervening years, as well as the WIHS’s wonderful publication ‘Windword’ and its many,“ WIHS Presents” events.

Recently WIHS president Hank Connell called to say the WIHS was to receive the annual Scadding Award of Excellence, from the Ontario Historical Society at their AGM at Queens Park, Toronto on June 11th (The WIHS was recommended for consideration by Islander Ken Keyes).

Here follows what was read by Rob Leach (OHS) on that occasion: “The Ontario Historical Society is pleased to present the 2015 Scadding Award of Excellence to the Wolfe Island Historical Society. The Award is presented to a historical society or heritage group that has made an outstanding contribution to the field of history. The WIHS was founded in 2005 by a small, but dedicated group to protect, preserve and promote the heritage of Wolfe Island. The Society, in cooperation with the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, has focussed on the Island’s history because of its prominence in lumbering, shipbuilding and transportation. The Society has made

significant contributions to the history of Frontenac Islands and is a well Historical Society is truly deserving of of the Great Lakes through its lecture respected and much-visited facility. the Ontario Historical Society’s 2015 series, the restoration of heritage (Old House Museum).
