OPP using Hinchinbrooke school for free doesn’t sit well with Council By Craig Bakay

How sea-worthy is your cardboard boat? Loughborough Public School students Sophia Bulch, Phoenix Murphy and Cheyenne Turcotte paddle their cardboard boat in Sydenham Lake. The school’s Grades 1, 2 and 3 students had been working on an ICE (Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship) year end project designing and building cardboard boats. With the help of some older students, the young sailors had the opportunity to test their designs during in a friendly competition to see just how sea-worthy their cardboard boats were at The Point, in Sydenham, June 24.

News — While Central Frontenac Councilors agreed on the need for OPP training and are amenable to making facilities available for such things, they’d also like to see a little quid pro quo involved. Coun. Jamie Riddell raised the controversial issue at last week’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake. “I noticed over the past couple of months the OPP have been using the former Hinchinbrooke Public School for training programs,” he said. “Are they being billed for the use of the building and does this affect our insurance?” Chief Building Ofﬁcial Jeremy Neven told Council that the Township had been contacted a “couple of months ago” about using the building because it

provided an opportunity for them to simulation realistic situations and scenarios for their elite units. “We have not billed them because we thought it was good for our communities that police would have this kind of training,” Neven said. “The OPP did name the Township on their insurance policy so there is no liability for us.” “I don’t want to be the bad guy in all this but we’ve been hit pretty hard with increases in the bill for police services,” Riddell said. “I think that building should be rented just like any other hall.” In 2014, Central Frontenac paid $787,000 for OPP policing services. In 2015, the price rose to $948,000 and to $1,183,436 in 2016. Continued on page 4

Central Frontenac honours Seniors of the Year with the employment centre and Community Services,” said Coun. Jamie Riddell in introducing Mountain Grove’s Arlene Uens, District 2 (Olden) honoree. “When you drive into Mountain Grove, all the flowers around the signs are because of her. “Today is also her 47th wedding anniversary with her husband Len.” “It’s been a labour of love,” Uens said. “I just love digging in the dirt. “Many of the perennials came from my sister’s garden and it’s good to see so many others getting involved.” The District 4 (Hinchinbrooke) honouree is no stranger to anyone in Parham or Tichborne, said Coun. Phillip Smith in introducing Colleen Steele. “She worked at both the store in Tichborne and at Foodland in Parham,” he said. “As a member of the United Church and the Rebekahs and Odd Fellows, she’s worked on many volunteer themes, often with children’s themes. “She’s a true representative of the volunteer spirit.” “A true volunteer never looks for awards,” Steele said. “They give with their heart so the community can benefit and it’s a true labour of love.” District 3 (Oso) honouree Wayne Robinson couldn’t be in attendance

By Craig Bakay

News — Central Frontenac Township honoured its 2016 Seniors of the Year before the regular Council meeting last week in Sharbot Lake with a luncheon, ceremony and song. As has become tradition, the Arden Glee Club performed (six songs). “It would be impossible to recognize one without the other, Coun. Tom Dewey said in introducing the District 1 (Kennebec) honourees, Judy and Terry Kennedy. The Kennedys, who retired to Kennebec Lake in 2005 after careers in the Toronto school system, have been “very much involved in the community,” Dewey said. Terry has been president of the Kennebec Lake Association for 11 years. Judy has organized the annual Canada Day Floatilla. Both have been instrumental in the Friends of Arden campaign, its cleanup days, signage programs and various other activities. “I’d just like to say a hearty thank you,” Terry said and then added jokingly. “I was tempted to decline the honour but Judy set me straight. “She pointed out it was important to support the the Township effort to recognize volunteer efforts.” “Even before becoming a senior, Arlene did a lot of community work

because of a previous commitment but Coun. Sherry Whan pointed out why he was an obvious choice. “Wayne has been a huge contributor to the community,” Whan said. “Whether it was his work with North Frontenac Community Services, as the founder of Pillar Financial, his work on the K & P Trail . . . he’s been involved in every project in this community.” This year, there was an extra honouree: Marcel Giroux From left, Arlene Uens, Olden, Marcel Giroux, Judy Kennedy, Kennebec, Dep.

Central Frontenac, Public Works Manager part company By Craig Bakay

News — Following a closed session at the end of last week’s Central Frontenac Council meeting in Sharbot Lake, chair Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald ended a couple of weeks of speculation by announcing Public Works Manager John Badgley was “no longer in the employ of Central Frontenac Township.” Council offered no further details other than Clerk-Administrator Cathy MacMunn saying “it didn’t work out.” Nor did Council offer any comments as to a potential replacement for the time being. Badgley, originally from Tweed, had previously held a similar position in Northern Alberta before coming to Central Frontenac last fall. ••• Just a reminder that the next Central Frontenac Council meeting (July 12) will be held in Kennebec Hall in Arden. ••• Central Frontenac voted to donate $2,500 to the North Frontenac Food Bank (located in Sharbot Lake behind St. Lawrence Employment Centre) at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The donation was in response to a request from Food Bank Chair Kim Cucoch. In her letter to Council, Cucoch had requested $5,000. “The Clerk-Administrator and I went through the budget and felt we could accommodate $2,500 at this time with little interruption,” said Treasurer Mike McGovern. “We are mid-year through our 2016 budget year which is very constricted and

there may be unexpected situations that arise. “We feel this is a vital community service.” “We can do this now and can only do what we can do,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. “But perhaps later in the year we might be able to add the additional $2,500.” The Food Bank began 30 years ago and operated out of the Anglican Church for many years. In 2012, it received charitable status and became an independent entity with its own board of directors. In 2014, it outgrew the church space and is now located in the basement of the Village Courtyard generously donated by owner Rosemary Bowick. It is one of the vey few food banks in Ontario that functions completely on volunteer power, distributing food to qualified families, couples and single folks (most of whom are seniors) twice weekly (Tuesdays and Fridays). Baskets contain enough food for about a week, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, milk, eggs, canned goods and pasta. Clients can only access the food bank once per month, unless they experience an emergency. In 2012, the food bank distributed 256 baskets, with an average cost of $50.50 per basket. In 2013, 285 baskets were distributed at an average cost of $52.50. In 2014, 287 baskets were distributed at an average cost of $66.88. In 2015, 450 baskets were distributed at an average cost of $67.45. In 2016, the projected number of baskets required is 624, at an average estimated cost of $71 each.

NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSING Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and sell part of a Township-owned road allowance as follows: Location: Part of Lot 18, Between Concessions VIII, District of Storrington Reason: The owner of property abutting the road allowance on the east, 4378 Atkins Lane, wishes to close the road to add to his land. This would also help facilitate two other abutting neighbours acquiring part of the road allowance. It is not anticipated that there would be any impact of this road closure on any other property-owners. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on August 2, 2016, at 7:00 PM. At that time, Council will hear in person any individual who claims that his or her land would be prejudicially affected and who has applied to be heard. Your comments or concerns to the Township would be appreciated before the above noted date. Contact Lindsay Mills, Planner for more details at 613-376-3027 Ext 2221.

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

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.

RECREATION AND LEISURE SURVEY The Township is conducting a survey to get a better understanding of community needs in respect to recreation and leisure activities. The survey along with additional public consultation will help create a new recreation plan that will be presented to Council this fall. By completing this survey, you will be entered into a draw to win a prize pack including a Fitbit charge HR, Private hour of ice at the Frontenac Community Arena and some Township swag. The survey can be accessed online at southfrontenac.net under the Recreation Activities page or directly via www.surveymonkey.com/r/SFrecplan

In 2017, the price is expected to be $1,270,000. OPP costs are based essentially on the number of households in a municipality (with Central Frontenac having about 4,000) as well as other mitigating factors that supposedly increase risk such as windmill farms. “They (the OPP) said it’s not something they’re prepared to pay for,” Neven said. “If there was a charge then they’d go somewhere else.” Coun. Brent Cameron said he “echoed” Riddell’s remarks. “We just made a motion to contact the Ministry of Health about costing models regarding our firefighters not being paid for medical calls,” Cameron said. “I recognize the need for training but we’re paying for heat and hydro in that building and the OPP charges us for every cost they can think of. “We can’t hold us to any other standard than they hold us to. “Fair is fair.” “They’re allowed

to use the building but we’re not allowed to use it for our committees and community groups,” said Coun. Phillip Smith. “It’s a very different use (police training) for insurance purposes,” said Neven. “(And) I don’t think it would be appropriate to go back and ask for rent now when they’ve been told to go ahead and use it without charge. “Besides, they’re done their training now.” Council agreed that it would be inappropriate to discuss the matter with the local detachment because the regional emergency detachment was actually the ones doing the training. Coun. Tom Dewey suggested contacting the Attorney General’s office. “Them wanting to use our facility (for free) doesn’t sit well with me,” said Riddell. “This looks like it was a one and only request but if they ask again, bring it to Council,” Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald told Neven.

Lineup announced for 2016 Kingston WritersFest those are just some of the things book lovers will experience at this year’s Kingston WritersFest. “We don’t necessarily want to try and get bigger, but we always want to try and get better,” notes Kingston

WritersFest artistic director Barbara Bell, who announced the lineup for this year’s festival (taking place Sept. 28 – Oct. 2) at the official launch on June 23. Events - Music, gourmet food, an The 2016 headliner: Emma DonoAcademy Award nominee and, of ghue, author of the international sencourse, a whole lot of storytelling – sation Room, which she also adapted herself for the big screen and earned an Academy Award nomination for earlier this year. “She’ll be on stage with broadcaster Eric Friesen [for the opening International Marquee event] so that ought to be fabulous,” Bell says. Also of note: legendary Canadian singer/songwriters Anna and Jane McGarrigle, who will be interviewed on stage by Sarah Harmer. Known worldwide for their music, the sisters’ new book Mountain City Girls: The McGarrigle Family Album recounts everything from the girls’ childhood in Montreal to their ancestors’ early days in Canada. “There may just be a little bit of playing of music on stage that night,” hints Bell. The annual Robertson Davies lecture will be given on the Sunday evening by David Mitchell, the acclaimed author of books like The Bone Clocks and Kingston WritersFest artistic director Barbara Bell.

House. Favourite events like the Book Lovers’ Lunch - “always one of the first events to sell out”, Bell says - and the Saturday Night Speakeasy – again hosted by Bill Richardson - will also be returning. The overarching theme of the 2016 WritersFest is storytelling. “One way or another, human beings have been telling stories since the beginning of time,” Bell notes. “To me, telling stories is how we share who we are as a people, share who we are as an individual, but also as how we as writers and readers make sense of the world and our place in it.” In particular, many of the authors appearing at this year’s festival, such as Cherie Dimaline and Tracey Lindberg, represent voices that have traditionally been less heard – “First Nations voices, women’s voices, people who identify as LGBTQ,” says Bell. “We want to include all the voices that we can and all the stories that we can.” Bell remarks that this is probably the most exciting lineup WritersFest

has had yet – and that the festival is continuing to become better known and respected every year. “[Publishers] are actually approaching us with some of their bigger names and saying ‘I hope you’ll find a space for this writer or that writer in your lineup this year’. And so that has given us opportunities to bring in some of the best-known Canadian writers.” In fact, Bell says she was chatting with a very well respected editor just several weeks ago in Toronto who mentioned that the Kingston festival is becoming the ‘go-to’ event that everyone talks about. “We feel really, really proud that we’ve managed to build a festival that people think is worth attending and has value. And it particularly makes me very happy that we’ve brought it to this community. Kingston residents don’t have to go very far to get this topnotch literary experience.

Diaper drive seeks to connect Kingston families in need with often-overlooked necessity By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

however Rooney notes that it’s important to keep in mind that not everybody has access to a washer and dryer to launder cloth diapers. “We’ll also accept individual diapers,” she adds. “They don’t have to come in a package. So if a child grew out of diapers and you’re not using them anymore, bring them.”

Diapers can be dropped off at Go Green Baby (293 Division Street) on Sunday, July 10 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Better Balance Massage Therapy will be on hand during those times to give free mom and baby massages and there will also be other local vendors, refreshments and entertainments.

Learn more at www.bambinosandblankets.ca, or find Bambinos and Blankets on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. To donate other items at other times, contact Rooney at tori@bambinosandblankets.ca. Items that are most needed are diapers, receiving blankets, clothing and formula.

It’s estimated that one in five Canadian moms has experienced ‘diaper need’ – that is, the struggle to provide babies and small children with clean diapers. Babies kept in wet or dirty diapers are, understandably, more likely to experience signs of irritation and discomfort. Yet diapers are things that often go overlooked when people are looking to donate items to young families in need, says Bambinos and Blankets founder Tori Rooney. “I get a lot of clothing donations, which is great, but people need diapers,” Rooney says. She explains that her own experiences as both a mother and a teacher inspired her to start Bambinos and Blankets, a non-profit organization that collects new and gently used essentials to donate to babies and toddlers in need. “In 2013 I became a mom and I didn’t understand fully how hard of a job it is. I honestly didn’t know how people did this without sup-

port of a spouse or partner or family around. I’m also a teacher, and I’ve seen a lot of kids do without the basic needs.” She remarks that it’s all about creating opportunity for families. “I want to connect families in need with basic essentials. Without having those essentials available, families and children miss out on opportunities that they should otherwise be a part of.” Bambinos and Blankets launched in March of this year, and for the last few months Rooney has been picking items up right on donors’ doorsteps and delivering them to organizations such as Birthright Kingston, The Pregnancy Care Centre, the Community Midwives of Kingston and Interval House. On Sunday, July, 10, however, she’s holding a special ‘diaper drive’ – the first of its kind in Kingston – at Go Green Baby in order to try and highlight and meet the need for these essential items. The goal is to collect a total of 5,000 diapers. Both paper and clean cloth diapers of all sizes will be accepted,

Canada 150th anniversary committee gearing up in Central Frontenac News — “Like most people who come here, I’m looking for money,” Canada 150 Committee Chair Bill Bowick told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. “But what I’m really looking for is recognition for my cause.” Well, that and the money, $6,425 over two years to be exact. Bowick told Council his committee wants to have a presence in every parade (two Canada Day and four Christmas parades in Sharbot Lake and Tichborne/Parham), an information booth at every public festival (Relay for Life, Canada Day, Parham Fair, Heritage Festival, lake association general meetings) and posters in every public building (six at the three schools, one at each community hall and one at each fire hall). Their budget also includes recognition awards, project prizes and public meetings. “The value of this to Central Frontenac is threefold,” Bowick said. “It will encourage people to seek funding from sources outside the community for legacy projects within it, introduce programs that span the Township to build pride and unity across our many hamlets (and) it will encourage visitors to learn more about our community, to take more ownership in it and invest in it — both their time and money.” Bowick said the success of this kind of program lies in getting enthusiasm and a high degree of participation form the whole community. “The committee’s approach, therefore, has not been to undertake projects

directly,” he said. “Rather, we encourage people and groups to champion Canada 150 programs and events on their own. “The committee’s role is to promote, encourage and facilitate individuals and to advertise and champion a broad program across the whole community.” Bowick said examples of projects might include things such as commemorative benches at strategic locations in various hamlets. Legacy projects such as these are typically funded by grants from other levels of governments. In the ‘things to do’ category, the

idea is to provide reasons for coming will, on average, spend $100 in the people to think of Central Frontenac as to Central Frontenac as well as rea- community.” their community. sons for people who live here to seek Other ideas the committee is work“It’s not a lot of money,” said Coun. entertainment close to home.

After a slow start, Season 6 ended up on an outstanding note with its ﬁnal two episodes (Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter). Depending on your personal tastes, Battle of the Bastards was arguably the best episode ever (however, I’m still inclined to prefer the Battle of Blackwater Bay). But it’s hard to argue with The Winds of Winter as Cersei Lannister did her best Michael Corleone impersonation, taking out just about all of her enemies in one fell swoop while she stood watching on her balcony, dressed in her ﬁnest armor, sipping merlot. This was excellent television folks, arguably the best single episode of any

show, ever. Now that the dust has cleared, two things stand out for this Westeros watcher. First is how many questioned they managed to answer in one 75-minute episode. This season-ender was purely for the fans as it tied up a ton of loose ends in preparation for what will likely be the final 13 episodes. (HBO has yet to confirm just how many episodes/seasons are left or even when they will air but they have hinted that 13 episodes over two seasons starting early in 2017 are likely.) Compare this with The Walking Dead Season 6 finale, which literally broke the Internet as fans howled their disgust over the worst cliff-hanger in history. It’s extremely likely the GoT powers-that-be were watching closely as TWD almost imploded a few months before and it’s a safe bet there were more than a few meetings around the big table discussing how to avoid such a similar fiasco. The second thing that struck me is how female things have become in the halls of Westeros power. When the series began, there was not

Dear editor,

MP Scott Reid sent out a referendum asking people if he should vote for Bill C-14, which was named “Medical Assistance in Dying” and has been passed into law. However, the word “assistance” is a vague and comforting

a single woman in a big chair, unless you consider Lady Olenna Tyrell who clearly ruled her homestead. Now, with Season 7 about to break, there is only one male with any real power, the King in the North, Jon Snow (Targaryen). (Yeah, Uncle Dorkface rules the Iron Islands for now but he’s just keeping the chair warm until Yara gets back with her new girlfriend Daenerys. There’s the Eryie but Littleﬁnger isn’t really a ruler and its ‘king’ is a wimp. Besides, the Knights of the Vale were all cheering on Jon Snow as their king.) Think about it, besides the aforementioned Lady Olenna, Ellaria Sand rules in Dorne, and rising star Lyanna Mormont rules the Bears. And the two most powerful forces in the Game are ruled by Cersei Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen respectively. The early money would be on Daenerys over Cersei, especially if the Tyrells and Martells get involved (if nothing else just to spite the Lannisters). But don’t count Cersei out just yet. She’s clearly the most ﬁendish female out there.

ing”? Perhaps Mr. Reid should explain to his constituents exactly what the process is - what the purpose, the procedures, and the risks are so people know exactly what they will be getting when they ask for “assistance in dying”. Jule Koch

In Our Opinion

Learning from the Brits There was quite the rift between generations when it came to the British vote that is taking them out of the European Union. While voters over the age of 50 voted strongly to leave, the majority of those under 50 were on the stay side, especially young‘uns under 24. Almost three-quarters of the population that must live the longest with the consequences of the vote marked a ballot in favour of remaining with the EU. Unfortunately, 64 per cent of the 18-24 age group did not bother to vote. If they had, judging by how their peers voted, the result could have been dramatically different. The young have a point when they interpret the vote as the older generation being more interested in their prejudices and trying to return the country to the past than supporting opportunities for their children and children’s children. But if they felt so strongly that their futures would be better as a member of the EU, why didn’t more of them make the effort to vote? Their apathy handed the victory to the stick-in-the-muds of the older generation. Youth in this country should be paying attention to what happened in the ‘old country’. Canadians could be facing a referendum on electoral reform and maybe on other important issues. Quebec could hold another referendum on separation. In such votes, it is the young people who have the most to gain and lose. Fortunately, there are some recent signs in Canada that they will be a force in future votes. After years of declining voter turnout and young voters being turned off politics, it appears things are changing. In last year’s federal election, voter turnout among those aged 18-24 jumped more than 18 per cent over 2011. In the 25-34 age group, participation climbed 12.3 per cent. As well as voting in large numbers, many young people became involved in campaigns. Hopefully that level of engagement continues, for they need to be at the forefront of the decision-making if Canada is to stride conﬁdently into the future. The last thing the country needs is to shy away from the promise of the future because its young people allow those who fail to understand what those opportunities are to set the agenda.

LDSB and St. Lawrence College establish international education program vanced Diploma, and Degree Program opportunities at St. Lawrence College. Both organizations have worked together in the past on dual credit programs, apprenticeship programs and through events like the annual skills competition, but this announcement marks the ﬁrst time the two have developed a transition program. “There are 150 international students within the local school board so why on earth would we want to go elsewhere to ﬁnd them when they are here,” said Don Young, dean for international education at SLC. “It is a win-win. It makes things easier for the students and gives them an easier path and we can recruit more international students.” From the school board perspective, the program also makes a lot of sense. Each year they receive students from countries like China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and more. They come to Canada because they want a high quality education in English and because they want to prepare for post-secondary studies in Canada. “They come to us to build their language skills,” explained Calvin Bowry, international education manager for

News – St. Lawrence College (SLC) and the Limestone District School Board (LDSB) are making it easier and more appealing for international students to study in Kingston. On June 22, the two organizations announced that they will offer high school to college pathway programs for international students, programs they hope will bring in more students from around the world. “This new partnership will offer international students an all-in-one educational package in Canada and it is extremely unique,” explained Debra Rantz, director of education for the LDSB. “Limestone currently hosts about 150 international students each year and the presence of these students in our classrooms and our community offers important potential links to the global economy and a world of knowledge.” This international education program will work to provide Limestone’s international students with a seamless transition between high school and college with access to Diploma, Ad-

the LDSB. “Some do home stay programs and some move here with their families. We coordinate with international education agencies to recruit them, and this program will make that recruitment easier.” Fang Liu, a recent graduate from the St. Lawrence College marketing program, agrees that this new partnership will make things easier for students like him. “I came from China and I attended LCVI for two years,” he explained. “My family thought it would be good for me to have Canadian education in preparation for college or university and it was very good. It was hard to adjust at first and things like Shakespeare were difficult, but I liked it.” Liu finished up his last year of high school in China because of some family issues, but he decided to return to Canada for college or university and after receiving a number of acceptances he chose St. Lawrence College. “I knew that a degree isn’t everything. Experience is also important and St. Lawrence offered that,” he said. “Everyone was so helpful here and I think a program like this, where the door is open for college right from

‘Rooted in our communities, we will be a globally recognized college’” he said. “I can’t think of a better phrase than that to describe what we are creating today. It really adds to the diversity, breadth and the cultural aspects of our classrooms and really enhances the learning experience and that is really what this is all about.”

Press Release Limestone Credit Union Members Vote in Favour of Amalgamation with Comtech Fire Credit Union

Limestone will operate as a subsidiary of Comtech Fire Credit Union Kingston, ON, June 29, 2016: At a member meeting held on June 28th in Kingston, Ontario, members of Limestone Credit Union voted unanimously in favour of an amalgamation with Comtech Fire Credit Union. Limestone will maintain its existing trade name, as a subsidiary of Comtech Fire Credit Union with aggregate assets approaching $500 million with 18,000 members. Comtech Fire Credit Union is based in Toronto, Ontario and will now operate 7 branches in Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga; and now in Amherstview and Kingston Ontario under the Limestone banner. Additional branch locations are currently being explored and will include additional Branches in Toronto and in the Pickering/Ajax area. “During the past year, we have worked diligently to determine that Comtech Fire shares our values of member commitment”, said Mike Fleurie, CEO of Limestone Credit Union. “We believe we can be stronger together, bringing an even broader value proposition to our members”, added Fleurie. “We have maintained throughout the process that we are stronger together than we are apart”, said Comtech Fire CEO John Mach. “Our ability to build the resources necessary to innovate and compete in the future requires adequate scale and this merger is another important step. It makes things even better that we share so many common values.” Comtech Fire Credit Union is a full service financial institution operating five branches in the GTA and in Ottawa. Limestone Credit Union operates two branches in the Kingston area and was formerly known as the Federal Employees (Kingston) Credit Union Limited. For more information about the amalgamation, contact: John Mach Chief Executive Officer Comtech Credit Union 220 Yonge Street, Suite 102 Toronto, Ontario M5B 2H1 416.598.1197 mach@comtechcu.com www.comtechcu.com

‘A historic step’: Kingston hospitals announce plans to bring together operations of hospitals The Board of Directors of Kingston General Hospital and Hotel Dieu Hospital announced on Tuesday, June 28 that they have agreed to create a new academic health sciences centre, which will bring together the operations of the two hospitals. The new organization will operate as one hospital with one budget, on two separate sites, and will be overseen by one Board, Chief Executive Officer and Executive team. The two existing boards say they chose this direction as a way to provide better, more integrated care for patients and families. The decision to move forward with the integration was reached by both hospitals after consultation with the South East Local Health Integration Network, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, as well as the Roman Catholic sponsors of Hotel Dieu Hospital, Catholic Health International. With their support and with agreement in principle from Kingston Archbishop Brendan O’Brien, they say there is clear consensus to move forward with the integration. “The Boards, leadership teams, physicians and staff at both hospitals have increasingly been working in a more

integrated way to best meet the needs of patients and families,” says Kingston General Hospital Board Chair George Thomson. “We know that the more closely we can work together, the stronger our health system will be for our community. This is an exciting, progressive approach to providing health care in our region.” Over the next several months, the hospitals will begin formal planning to establish the legal and operational structures for the new academic health sciences centre. During this time, the Interim President and CEO at KGH, Jim Flett, and Dr. David Pichora, in his role as CEO at HDH, will work with a joint team to lead the transition process and seek input from the community. It is anticipated that it will take up to 12 months to form the new corporation. Under the new entity, each site will continue to fulfill its unique role with the KGH site providing complex-acute and specialty care and the HDH site providing acute-ambulatory care, ensuring that all of the same services continue to be offered to patients and families. At the same time, the history and traditions of each individual site will also be respected.

“We remain committed to honouring the unique missions and cultures of both the sites as we move forward,” says Hotel Dieu Hospital Board Chair Michael Hickey. “The Hotel Dieu site will retain its Catholic identity and mission, and KGH will remain a secular site. The current missions of both Hotel Dieu Hospital and Kingston General Hospital will be guaranteed in a binding Operating Agreement with oversight by a Partnership Council.” As part of the announcement to integrate, the Boards also announced that the inaugural President and Chief Executive Officer of the new academic health science centre will be Hotel Dieu Hospital’s current CEO, Dr. Pichora. “This is a historic step and signals our commitment to bring our two hospitals together to build on our strong

history of high quality patient- and family-centred care,” says Dr. Pichora. “Many of our patients receive care at both HDH and KGH and we believe that by working together more closely, we will deliver a better experience for patients and families.” Hospital representatives say the decision was made first and foremost to improve the experience of patients and families by delivering more coordinated care. They believe that integrating the hospitals will also provide more efficient care that could result in some financial savings. The hospitals say it is too early to know if there will be any specific impact on jobs, however since all services will continue that means they will continue to need the individuals who provide this care. It’s anticipated that there will be a reorganization of the management structure within the

a variety of shows including Jason Thorne Freestyle Motorcross. Unsurprisingly, Paquette is a passionate biker himself. “I’m a long-range cruiser,” he remarks. “My bike has a lot of miles on it.” Through the Show N Shine, he also hopes to promote Kingston from a motorcycle tourism perspective. “We want to try and get more motorcyclists into the city and expose them to Kingston. There’s a lot of money in motorcycle tourism.” He adds that he also works with municipal and provincial governments to promote motorcycle safety. Paquette hopes to get another big crowd out on July 16 for a fun day of celebrating motorcycles and helping a great cause. “Two mottos that we began using since day one, which are often duplicated by other groups, are ‘Ride for a Reason – Ride for a Cause’ and “Bikers Care’”, Paquette explains. “These truly sum up in a nutshell what we endeavour to accomplish every year. Show N Shine is 100 per cent not for profit and is solely supported by donations and sponsors every year.” He adds that in the past some shows have seen more than 7,000 motorcyclists and motorcycle lovers, but the numbers are always anticipated to grow each year moving forward.

The Kingston Show N Shine got its start in 2008 as a last-minute event geared to a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts. Organizers were astounded when it attracted a huge number of participants and viewers. From that first event the Show N Shine has grown every year. The event has raised funds and awareness for countless charities ever since the first show. A major milestone was achieved in 2012 when organizers honoured the Olympians of Special Olympics Ontario. “We have strongly believed that bringing motorcyclists and charities together has proven to be very successful,” says organizer Guy Paquette. “Show N Shine has become a yearly tradition of fundraising by motorcycle enthusiasts for charities and causes.” The 2016 Show N Shine will raise awareness and funds for Almost Home, a nonprofit organization which provides a place of comfort and respite for families whose children are receiving medical treatment at Kingston area hospitals. “And it’s an incredible organization,” says Paquette. “They do an incredible thing so that family members and parents can be near their children while receiving medical care in Kingston.” The event is free to attend, with the expectation that visitors as well as those who enter motorcycles will make a donation to Almost Home. It will take place July 16 from noon - 5 p.m. at Confederation Park. The family friendly event includes a custom bike display of all types, sizes and brands, plus

Dancing her way through life

Mark Bergin COLUMNIST

@markaidanbergin

If you’re a fan of theatrical productions around Kingston, then you’re probably familiar with the work of dancer and choreographer Susan Del-Mei. Always impressive, in the past year she’s taken on some particularly difficult work. For example, Regi’s Mary Poppins last December contained some intricate and fast pace dance moves. Around the same time that she was choreographing Mary Poppins, Del-Mei was working on Martin Guerre with Queen’s Drama. Watching these productions, it was a marvel that Del-Mei pulled it off. The two shows were vastly different in their approaches to movement. Each demanded diverse skills. She’s also performed herself in difficult roles like that of Laura Wingfield with Domino Theatre’s Glass Menagerie. That’s one of the more challenging character’s ever created. The actor has to win the audience’s sympathy while maintaining dignity without stepping over the line of pity. Del-Mei teaches at Leisa’s School of Dance, where she started dancing as a student at the age of four. “My Mom heard that a friend [Lisa Whelan] had opened a dance studio,” said Del-Mei. “I remember sitting in the bathtub and deciding whether to take dance. In my mind, I imagined a big room with lots of red velvet.” She may not have worked in rooms with an abundance of red velvet, but she has studied dance extensively. After her start in ballet, over the years she’s added

jazz and tap, as well as some contemporary and hip hop to her repertoire. Her entry into the world of theatre came along in 2006, performing in Lucky Dollar Private Eye in the company that would become Blue Canoe Productions. Her career as a choreographer launched the following year. “I was still in high school when Blue Canoe was just starting, and we did Seussical The Musical,” said DelMei. “When we were planning it, Mike Sheppard [of Blue Canoe] asked if Lisa

[Whelan] would be interested in doing the choreography. She recommended me. I didn’t feel like I knew where to start, but I jumped in. Three of us split the [choreography responsibilities for the] show.” She had quite the cast for her Blue Canoe debut, working with actors like Daniella Richards and Hailey Hill, each of whom has since gone on to post-secondary education and bigger careers in theatre.

Del-Mei is particularly adept at partner choreography. Her skills in working with large groups of pairs glowed in shows like South Paciﬁc (Regi), Candide (Queen’s), and Guys and Dolls (Regi). She’s never been shy about taking on quirky projects. After high school, Del-Mei attended Queen’s University, majoring in drama. In her ﬁrst year, she performed in

Queen’s Musical Theatre’s Jekyll and Hyde. The following year’s production was Rocky Horror Show. She laughed and said: “I didn’t think I was brave enough to be in it.” She became the choreographer for this wonderfully bizarre piece of musical theatre. Continued on page 10

kids—I work with a lot of teenagers and university students—it gives people confidence. I love watching someone who has never danced before and has sworn they never would until they were cast in musical. To see them go from our initial contact to watching them on stage and to see them do something they thought they would never be able do, is so rewarding. Everybody moves; everybody has it in them.” She’s still active in musical theatre, but primarily from the choreographer’s position. “Since leaving Queen’s I haven’t been in so many musicals,” she said. “That’s a shame, but if you’re not in university in Kingston, there aren’t that many shows to do in terms of musicals.” Del-Mei’s theatrical involvement has been diverse. Many actors link up with one local theatre company and never branch out. I suppose the auditioning process appears easier if you’re already known to one company. Del-Mei, in contrast, tries to work with as many companies and shows as possible. “I’m very lucky,” she said. “I’ve done lots of shows with almost every theatre company in town.” I would argue that luck as nothing to do with it. Practice, skill development and natural talent make the difference. It’s been ten years since Del-Mei choreographed her first production. She recommends that anyone interested in theatre take advantage of every opportunities that presents itself. “I have learned so much about choreography from doing it, especially in Kingston, where there are no classes in

it, even at Queen’s,” she said. “Make as many connections as you can.” She pointed out that she did not start out in theatre, but in dance, and her first taste of performing was on the dance stage. “I fell in love with the stage after that,” she said. Del-Mei took drama classes throughout her high school years at Regiopolis-Notre Dame. These days, when she’s not choreographing a show, you’ll find her teaching tap, ballet and some jazz, hip hop and lyrical dance at Leisa’s School of Dance. She also runs classes in elementary schools to help teachers meet curriculum standards. For the past five years, she has worked with students at QECVI’s Theatre Complete program. With about 50 shows in her stage resume—as an actor/dancer and/or choreographer—since 2006, there isn’t much in the theatre world that Del-Mei has not tried. You’ll catch Del-Mei on stage during the upcoming Storefront Festival, where she’ll be playing a single mom in Urafiki Theatre’s Danny, King of the Basement. She’s also been hired to choreograph this year’s Regi production of The Little Mermaid. This summer, she’ll make a foray (not her first) into the world of film, appearing in Brent Nurse’s Boneyard. Like everything else Del-Mei takes on, she’ll bring her skills and passion to the role. For more information about the Storefront Festival, visit theatrekingston.com.

minutes of driving until the cabin reaches a comfortable temp. Then the system can be switched to normal AC operation to save fuel. With the AC set on ‘MAX’ the compressor and the engine cooling fan(s) run full time and can create a major drag on the engine. If you have a sunroof, pop it open in the vent position (rear side only ajar) when you first start out on a hot day. This can allow the airflow over the moving vehicle to remove the hot cabin air faster. And as with heater use during the winter, avoid using the HVAC fan’s top speed with AC use as well (turn it down one speed from the top). This gives the air more contact time with the cooling evaporator coil under the dash, leading to colder vent temps. On Saturday, July 9 the Cruise In for Cancer cruises down to the Morrisburg Waterfront from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the 12th Annual Carp Show ‘n’ Shine Open to cars, trucks, tractors and antique snowmobiles will be held at the Carp Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Sunday the 10th the famous Merrickville Cruise & Shop returns to Merrickville with live music as well as plenty of chrome and classic autos as well as more than enough shopping and great food.

calls to parts departments trying to understand and cope with shipment delays and backorders. Fortunately for the large part, things go pretty smoothly, but when they go wrong, customers often suffer. A company that is trying to bridge these gaps should be applauded and one announced this week a new initiative that might open more than one set of eyes. Mercedes-Benz USA is sending almost 40 of its top national office managers back to school and the campuses they’re attending are their retail stores. Each of these senior officials is spending a week at dealerships across the country learning everything from vehicle ordering and sales to service department processes to parts inventory. The goal of this program is for Mercedes execs to learn how their office tower decisions affect the front lines of their business and early results show certain things are going to change. One 14-year veteran who already completed a stint in a Chicago area store came back with a large number of needed changes to improve the flexibility of retailers to adapt to varying market forces. Hopefully other automakers will look at this experience and come up with their own ways to make buying, leasing, and servicing their vehicles a much easier and more consumer friendly process. More airbag recalls are on the way and this time they don’t involve Takata units, which have caused one of the largest recalls in automotive history. Toyota and Lexus announced they are recalling 1.43 million 2008-2012 Toyota Priuses and Lexus CTs for potentially defective side-curtain airbags manufactured by Autoliv Inc. This total represents global sales and as this is a preliminary notice, it will take some time before dealerships and consumers receive further information. Toyota is also recalling almost 2.9 million Priuses and Corollas worldwide from the 2006 through 2015 model year for possible cracks in the vehicles’ emission control fuel vapor canisters, which could leak fuel when the tank is full. Now that we’re in the hot days of summer, a lot of drivers are using their vehicles’ AC systems. Keep in mind you only need to use the ‘MAX AC’ setting for the first few

In the world of automotive retail there is often a large disconnect between manufacturers and their dealerships. It can stem from frustration experienced by sales managers trying to make sense out of and apply various promotions and incentives to service departments suffering from lack of information on new re-

Turmoil was a symptom of special visitor’s arrival The house was in a turmoil again. The whole place was upside down. Mother was in a bad humour, ordering us around, Emerson said like a drill sergeant! Even Father, who hardly ever got flustered, was all keyed up. All because Father’s sister, Aunt Lizzie of the hand-me-down boxes from Regina, was coming for her annual visit. She always came in the hottest month of the year, to make sure the old homestead was still standing. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. Mother was out to prove her wrong! Of course, Audrey and I had to give up our bed and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. That meant the bedroom, which was really the large upstairs hall, had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life. Audrey had to stand on a chair, and using the broom, sweep the ceiling, which was only whitewashed over tar paper. This was to make sure no flakes would fall on Aunt Lizzie’s face when she was in bed, as they often did for Audrey and me. The feather mattresses, tickings and pillows had been thrown over the back fence and pounded with the broom within an inch of their lives. Audrey said we wouldn’t be going to that much trouble if the Queen of England was coming! The kitchen, which was always spotless to begin with, was as clean as a whistle, and Mother, just to prove she knew a little more about being a farm wife than she was given credit for, had the bake table loaded down

with sticky buns, homemade bread, freshly made pickles, raspberry preserves, and a basket full of newly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. Aunt Lizzie rarely gave us notice of when she was coming, and more than once, we would get a call from the station in Renfrew that she had arrived. At least this time, a letter had arrived a week before telling us when she would be coming. Of course, we five children would love to go into Renfrew to meet the train, but that would mean taking the flat bottomed wagon with the one seat, pulled by the team of horses. Aunt Lizzie wouldn’t like being paraded through her hometown on a flat bottomed wagon, hauled by a team of work horses. So Father and Mother would take the two-seater buggy. We kids would stay at home. We were in our next-to-Sunday best clothes too. The five of us had our noses pressed to the kitchen window when we saw the buggy coming down the lane, and there sat Aunt Lizzie, white dress, huge red leghorn hat and gloves to her elbow. When she pressed me to her chest, I could smell Lily of the Valley perfume. Her suitcases were brought in and taken right upstairs, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the big leather satchel she carried, because inside I knew would be gifts for all of us. My present was the last to come out of the bag. I had never seen anything like it. It was a book, about the size of a scrap book, and the cover was made of push-out paper dolls, and inside were the clothes they could wear, all made of paper, and she had even brought me a little pair of snub nosed scissors. I got right to it at the kitchen table. Each dress, when cut out, had little tabs beyond the body, and they, when folded over, were what held the paper clothes on the little cardboard dolls. I was sure even bad Marguirite had never laid eyes on anything so exciting! I didn’t care about all the work we had to

go to, to get ready for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. I didn’t care that she wasn’t our favourite visitor to come to the farm at Northcote. I was too young to think beyond the wonderful gifts she would bring all the way from Regina. Imagine! Little paper dolls and a wardrobe of paper clothes to keep me entertained for hours ahead! That Aunt Lizzie

sure knew how to bring joy to a young girl’s heart! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to https://www.smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details, or if you would like a hard copy, please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

Did you know? New York City’s Central Park was created by famed landscape designer Frederick Law Olmstead, who would no doubt be happy to learn that the park, which Olmstead began working on in the 1850s, is the most visited urban park in the United States. Central Park initially covered 2.5 miles, be-

ginning at 59th Street and extending north to 106th Street (the park now extends to 110th Street), while spanning from Fifth Avenue in the east to Eighth Avenue in the west. Included in Central Park is the 55-acre Great Lawn, which is routinely filled with sun bathers, athletes, picnickers, and

just about anyone else looking to do some lounging in one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Over the years, numerous performers, from rockers Bon Jovi to folk singers Simon and Garfunkel to the New York Philharmonic, have staked their claim to the Great Lawn. The Great Lawn

Your

even played host to the Global Citizen Festival in the fall of 2015. Hosted by late night host Steven Colbert, the festival showcased world renowned performers such as Beyoncé and Pearl Jam and even featured addresses from political notables like Vice President Joe Biden and First Lady Michelle

Obama. As for the rest of the park, it continues to draw millions of visitors each year, who are attracted to its expansive landscape, neverending activities and, for many, the simple chance to ditch their footwear and lie down in the green grass that is synonymous with the park.

Independence Day sequel must be seen on the big screen By Mark Haskins

Summer blockbusters should be more than movies. They should be experiences you have to witness on the big screen. Independence Day: Resurgence is definitely that. The Earth has 20 years to prepare for the aliens’ return. The nations of the world put aside their differences to work together. They unlock the secrets of the alien technology to re-build the world. It isn’t enough. A signal has been sent out into space from Earth by one of the old ships. Then a strange probe comes to the moon. Despite the objections of David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) President Lanford (Sela Ward) and the world council destroy it. Dr. Brakish Okun (Brent Spiner) wakes from his coma because he feels it coming. The aliens being held prisoner begin celebrating in their cells because they know. Former president Whitmore (Bill Pullman) can feel it. He tries to warn them, but it’s too late. A ship appears near the moon obliterating their defences. Despite objections from President Lanford, David goes to the moon to see the wreckage of the probe

for himself. Former fighter pilot Jake Morrison (Liam Hemsworth) commandeers a space tug take David to the moon. They find something, but are swept up in the gravity of the alien ship as it shears off a chunk of moon. This ship dwarfs anything the world has seen. It dwarfs the Earth as it straddles the Atlantic. This is a Harvester Queen. Jake and David make it to Area 51, and are joined by President Whitmore, his daughter Patricia (Maika Monroe), and Dylan Hillier (Jessie T. Usher) and his team of elite fighter pilots. They regroup to fight back, but victory won’t be easy, and it won’t come without sacrifice. There’s so much going on in Resurgence it’s not possible to sum it all up. There are all these storylines and characters in the film. It gives you a sense of the grand scope of things, while it allows Emmerich to put a human face to the events, and make it emotionally real. There are some character and plot points that are glossed over or taken for granted, but these are forgivable considering at its heart Resurgence is an effects-driven film. From the aliens, to the high tech

MOVIE: Independence Day: Resurgence STARRING: Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, Jessie T. Usher, Judd Hirsch, Sela Ward and Brent Spiner DIRECTOR: Roland Emmerich RATING: PG

22 Kingston/Frontenac Section B - Thursday, July 7, 2016

weapons, to the destruction of cities, to the aerial battles this is a gorgeous film that should only be seen on the big screen. The main job of this cast is to deliver one-liners with impeccable timing, give the odd inspirational speech, laugh in the face of death and exude heroism. In this they are fantastic. I love Goldblum, Pullman

and Spiner. Monroe and Usher do a fine job, and Hemsworth takes to the role like he was born to it. Resurgence is a mix of everything. There’s action, there’s drama, there’s heartbreak, there’s thrills, there’s humour, and it all blends together into a really entertaining film. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
