City looks at mobile phone app to pay for municipal parking BY BILL HUTCHINS
Payment for a municipal parking spot in downtown Kingston could soon be as simple as pulling out your smartphone. The city is planning to launch a one-year pilot to give motorists the option of paying for short-term parking through an app — downloaded free onto your phone or tablet — instead of using coins or a credit card. “Mobile payment allows users to select and pay for parking using their device after creating an account with a licensed mobile payment vendor,” explained a report
by transportation director Sheila Kidd. Staff recommended the nonexclusive pilot contract be given to HonkMobile, which provides similar mobile parking payment service for St. Lawrence College, Via Rail Canada, several private parking lots, and is expected to launch with Queen’s University this September. It will still be up to council to approve final terms of the untendered contract and the pilot program. Drivers who opt to use the mobile payment option, at a location that’s tracked by GPS on their device, do not need to
display a paper receipt or other proof of payment in their vehicle. The app provides bylaw enforcement officers a real-time list of vehicle license plates that have paid for time.The same mobile application displays nearby parking lots, rates and length of stay options based on location and allows the motorist to complete payment on their phone. The app also notifies users when their parking payment is nearing expiry and provides the option to extend their time through additional payment without returning to their vehicle, according to the

staff report. “An initial review of other parking agencies across Ontario and in major centres across Canada has shown that mobile payment is becoming a standard option for parking payment in many public systems,” according to Kidd. There is a fee attached to the convenience of mobile payments, estimated to cost the city about $11,000 a year. But it’s unclear whether the city plans to absorb the transaction fee or pass it along to motorists should the program be made permanent. It will depend, in part, on the overall impact on parking and ticket fine revenues, said officials. Providers of mobile payment technology typically charge a percentage of the total transaction value similar to credit
card providers, along with a standard convenience fee that typically ranges from 2535 cents per transaction, regardless of the total transaction value. The convenience program could provide savings in the form of reduced meter maintenance, cash collection and processing, paper supply and administration of the meters and Pay & Display units. “As the mobile payment is linked to a specifi c license plate and a record of the transaction is available to both the parker and the City, it can allow for parking ticket challenges and complaints to be resolved more efficiently and accurately,” explained Kidd’s report to the July 4 transportation committee. Offi cials say in order to gain a better understanding of the potential costs and benefi ts to the city and drivers, the 12 month pilot program would be limited to nine downtown surface lots that offer hourly parking; Queen/King Lot, Frontenac Lot, Drury Lot, Barrack Lot, Angrove Lot, Springer Memorial Lot, Upper & Lower Robert Bruce Lot, Armstrong Lot and McKee Memorial Lot.The mobile payment pilot is scheduled to be implemented later this year, and parking services will report back to council on the customer and city experience in one year. The proposed license agreement with HonkMobile will include the option to extend the program for additional terms at the end of the pilot period at the city’s discretion, or to terminate the program on 90 days’ notice.

KCVI to hold special reunion to celebrate 225 years BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL
have an impressive history and legacy. KC has moved around in its 225 years,� she says, noting that indeed at one point it was a grammar school. “It’s changed names and it’s moved, but the history continues.� Currently, committees with representatives from both the KCVI and QECVI communities are working on combining the legacies of both schools – “the naming, the colours, the mascot, the memorabilia – we’re in the process of that right now,� McKenna says. Further information about the KCVI 225 reunion can be found online at an Eventbrite page,
hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
Canada may be celebrating its 150th birthday in 2017, but it’s got nothing on a local high school. Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute was founded in 1792 by the Reverend John Stuart and is considered the oldest public secondary school in Ontario and the second oldest in Canada; a special reunion will be held from Sept. 28 – Oct. 1 of this year to celebrate the school’s 225th anniversary and organizers are hoping those wishing to attend will sign up this summer so they can know what kind of numbers to expect. “This is a family, this school,� says principal Talya McKenna. “There’s such a community here – alumni stay in touch all over the world. It’ll be great to have everyone come back to celebrate the history and the legacy.� The family aspect is also quite literal for McKenna. “My mom went to KCVI,� she notes. “It’s a really special time because she’s going to be coming back to be reunited and share in the wonderful memories.� The weekend will include a variety of events for people of all ages, organized by the KCVI Turns 225 Committee. Some of the highlights include an open house, a coffee house/wine and cheese, a drama festival, an athletics celebration and a fun run. The main event will be a KCVI gala and talent show at the Rogers K-Rock Centre, featuring many alumni talents with appearances by former KCVI student leaders. The evening also includes
where those wishing to attend can also purchase tickets and register for the event. (Find it by googling “Eventbrite – KCVI turns 225.) “We are asking anyone intending to attend even one event to register via the online registration tool called Eventbrite,� says committee member Helena Huskilson, who currently works in Student Services at KCVI in a statement. “This tool will help us to promote our events, manage attendance, and collect admission fees where applicable. It will also allow us to provide attendees with ongoing updates as we add or amend various events.�

drinks, tapas and a silent auction fundraiser for the KCVI Legacy Fund. There will also be a variety of alumni reunions scheduled by different graduating years at local bars and restaurants. Amid all the excitement, it’s difficult to ignore the fact that the current manifestation of KCVI is scheduled to close; it and Queen Elizabeth Collegiate and Vocational Institute have already amalgamated in the Frontenac Street building as the school community awaits the construction of a new building on the former QECVI property. However, McKenna notes that she doesn’t really see it as the school closing – it’s simply starting a new chapter. “Basically we’re just changing addresses. We

VIA Rail announces renewed partnership with Wounded Warriors ahead of annual ride BY MANDY MARCINIAK
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
VIA Rail is continuing to make travel easier for members of the military and veteran communities; on June 29, VIA Rail announced at the Kingston station that they would be renewing their partnership with Wounded Warriors Canada. "There is no more fi tting place to make this announcement than right here in Kingston at this time, 24 hours away from celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary in the home of Sir John A Macdonald who built this national railroad," said Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, president and CEO of VIA Rail Canada. VIA Rail is supporting Wounded Warriors Canada by providing complimentary train travel for the participants of their 2017 Highway of Heroes Bike Ride in August and, over the course of the year, providing complimentary train travel to ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, First Responders and their families who are attending the mental health programs and services provided by Wounded Warriors Canada. Wounded Warriors Canada is a non-profit organization that supports Canada’s military members and their families through a wide range of national programs and services. Scott Maxwell, executive director of Wounded Warriors was part of the announcement in Kingston
For veteran Daniel Hrechka who served from 1986 to 2014, accessibility to services and cycling has been life changing and he hopes that this access to train service will encourage more members of the military community to come out. "It is huge," he said. "I remember early on when I was looking at costs to getting around and any tiny bit can help. It is extremely valuable and it will really encourage people to get out of the house and it makes it so much easier for them to commit to something like this." On top of this partnership, VIA Rail supports over 30 programs for both active and retired military personnel and since 2010 almost 200,000 military personnel and their families have taken advantage of discounted fares offered by the travel company. "We are proud to renew our support of Wounded Warriors so we can all, everyday, through our actions more than our words, thank those who sacrificed so much and yet need our support, not only on those missions, but also on reintegrating into civilian life," said Desjardins-Siciliano. The Highway of Heroes bike ride takes place Representatives from VIA Rail Canada, Wounded Warriors Canada and participants in August 19 and 20 leaving from Trenton and the upcoming 2017 Highway of Heroes Bike Ride gathered at the Kingston VIA station Hrechka is looking forward to it, although he admits that he may not be taking advantage of the on June 29. free VIA Rail service. "I may just ride up the day before as a bit of a and he expressed what this renewed partnership ride and every step we can take to make that easmeans to them. ier for them makes them successful," said Max- warmuo," he said. "But for all of my peers it is an "For some people, it is very difficult to get the well. "The VIA Rail partnership gives them an amazing program. It gives them encouragement.

Man walking to fulfi l dream of visiting East Coas BY CRIS VILELA
cmpvilela@gmail.com
When Michael Sutherland became ill, he felt an overwhelming desire to visit the East Coast. So, the middle-aged Peterborough man packed up a few of his belongings into his RV about a week ago and set out on the road toward Halifax. Unfortunately, his RV wasn't up to the task and died shortly thereafter. Undaunted, Sutherland piled as much as he could on a cart and set out again on his trip — on foot. As of the morning of July 7, Sutherland was on Highway 2 just west of Odessa. He says that when he began his journey, he could only do about fi ve to 10 kilometres per day, but can usually squeeze out 30 to 40 kilometres out of each day now, walking for approximately 12 hours daily. His progress is hampered somewhat by the weight of

his cart and the progressing diabetes that has taken part of his foot, but his high spirits and the kindness of strangers keeps him going. In fact, he has been fl abbergasted by the kindnesses he's experienced all through his trip, from donations of breakfast and homemade pasta still hot from the stove, to monetary donations to help him pay for medications and other necessities. He's especially grateful to Candace Cochrane, he says, who set him up with overnight lodgings while in Cobourg. Sutherland expects he will stay in the Kingston and Thousand Islands area for a few days to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and then continue eastward. He doesn't know exactly when he'll get to the east coast, but is determined to get there somehow, some day.

In Our Opinion
Exploring Kingston with PokĂŠmon Go
Last week marked the first anniversary of PokĂŠmon Go, yes, the video game that took the world by storm last summer and brought hundreds of players out of their shells and into the ‘wild’. The game was greeted with excitement, controversy, skepticism, eye rolls and some surprise, but for me and Korey, the game has been a welcome addition to our lives. I didn’t grow up watching PokĂŠmon and while I recognized Pikachu and some of the other main PokĂŠmon, I started playing because Korey was so excited about the game and I thought I would give it a try; I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the game actually is. Over the past year, Korey and I have gone on numerous ‘Pokewalks’ throughout Kingston. The game encourages you to explore different areas filled with pokestops and different PokĂŠmon and it encourages you to
incubate eggs that you collect by walking to hatch them. Together, we have hatched numerous eggs and explored pokestop hubs like Confederation Basin, Skeleton Park, Breakwater Park, small side parks and of course Queen’s. Without the motivation of catching tiny ‘monsters’ we likely would not have taken half the walks we have taken over the past year and we would not have explored as many parks. I know that some people would think that this is just more time we spend looking at our phones and ignoring each other, but the walks actually allow Korey and I to spend more time together and we use the time to talk about our days and reconnect after a busy day. We also get the added bonus of playing a fun game together. Surprisingly, PokĂŠmon is an incredibly interactive game and recently, PokĂŠmon updated the game to include even more opportunities for interaction including raids where you can battle powerful PokĂŠmon with other players in the community. On the first weekend the raids launched, Korey and I headed downtown to see what we could catch. On our first raid we showed up and there were nearly a dozen other players already
there. We were shocked and happy to meet other players. This trend continued throughout the weekend and to my surprise, players of all ages were out playing. On several occasions I was sure the community members weren’t playing and then they proved me wrong. It was refreshing to see and maybe people think the same thing when they see me. I know that people often associate video games with people who are anti-social or lazy, but Pokemon Go has shown me the opposite. I've enjoyed getting to know little parks in the city that contain pokestops or gyms and I've also learned a lot about the city.Above all, the game has encouraged me to explore the city I live in and nobody can deny that this is positive. The game also makes me excited to travel to new locations and while I wouldn't go exclusively to play the game, I will enjoy the game while I am there. So the next time you see someone at Confederation Basin playing Pokemon don't frown or shake your head at them. At lease they are out playing a game with people in the community and maybe you should give it a try. It really is a lot of fun.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, July 13, 2017
Stay safe in the sun, sand, and surf this summer It's finally here in its full glory (well, maybe we could all do with just a bit less rain?), but there will doubtless be more than a few hot, muggy, sunny days this summer, so we thought we would take this opportunity to remind you of some of the ways you can stay safe in the sun: 1) Heat stroke is the most serious of heat-related conditions, and, for those of us that like to stay active, the most dangerous. It occurs when the body becomes unable to regulate its own temperature, and its internal heat can damage the brain and other organs. Days where the humidity levels are elevated are particularly dangerous as the sweat stays on the skin longer, so it's best to avoid strenuous activity completely when these conditions are present, if possible. Generally, it's the very old and the very young who are most at risk from heat stroke so please remind your loved ones to stay hydrated on days where the heat is on, even when indoors. 2) Also, we know you've all heard it before, but it bears repeating: Please remember to wear sunscreen with a high SPF (15+) before heading outdoors, even when it's not all that sunny outside; the Earth's axis has spun down a bit since the wintertime, putting a great big target on your back for harmful UVA and UVB rays, which can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after you go swimming; Sunscreen is most effective when combined with other more traditional modes of sun protection like hats, shirts, and other various garments. 3) If you plan on heading out on the water at all, please remember the cardinal rules of boat safety. First, get your pleasure craft operator card. The lessons you'll learn in the course of that program should prepare you for any scenario on the lake — including an encounter with local police or coast guard. Failure to have this card on your person will net you a $250 fine plus admin. fees. Other potential infractions include: $200 for having insufficient life jackets on board, allowing someone underage to operate a boat ($250), and towing someone without a spotter ($100). The summer will surely pass all too quickly, so be sure to get outside and make the most of it ... just remember to stay safe while you're doing so!

There’s a growing movement bringing attention to the threats to our water. Like the Mother Earth Water Walkers — those Indigenous women who started walking around the Great Lakes in 2003. This year they are carrying an open vessel of water along the north shore of Lake Ontario. They’ve walked from Wisconsin to the Gaspe Peninsula and show no sign of stopping. They recently stopped in Kingston, having started their 2009 walk down the St. Lawrence right here on the downtown waterfront. As with many environmental struggles, it’s people like One of the art exhibits on display at the previous Shoreline Shuffle. Josephine Mandamin — a NoHollie Pratt-Campbell/Metroland hkomis, or Grandmother Water Walker — who are setting the pace, urging us to care for the immense watershed we call home.

CANADA'S FIRM FOR SMALL BUSINESS TAX NEEDS
Director Maddy Scovil does not shy away from tough scripts. Earlier this year, she directed Peter and the Starcatcher, a show that would create havoc in the mind of any director. Now she’s taking on The Man of La Mancha, which functions as a play within a play. One of many challenges facing the director is to take rather dire material (the Spanish Inquisition) and insert humour. “The show follows a man thrown into prison in the Inquisition,” says Scovil. “He puts on a play for fellow prisoners. It’s the story of Don Quixote, an everyday man who becomes a knight-errant. He fights for truth and justice. He sees the world as he wants it to be and in that world he wants everyone to be noble and live by a moral code. When he sees everyday people, he imagines them as lords, ladies, and fellow knights.” It’s a show that’s timely, given the mood of the world these days. With buffoons as “leaders” of many countries, we long for that which is noble. “The story itself is so easy to love,” says Scovil. “Seeing the world not for its faults but for what it could be instead. It’s important to strive for this.” When asked how she strives for this herself, she responds: “Through theatre.” Scovil explains that because of the large cast there was an opportunity for more high school students to be

involved in the show. Ten of the actors are making their Blue Canoe debut. The leads of the show are held by experienced young actors. Miguel de Crevantes/Don Quixote will be played by Jake Tallon. Kathryn Johnston plays his sidekick, Sancho Panza. “Everyone’s happy to be here,” says Scovil. “It’s not stale for anyone. It’s a very funny show but definitely has some serious moments. It’s just such a joy to watch these young actors tackle all the physical comedy. There’s a
beautiful energy to it.” Her early concern was how to deal with young actors in the roles demanded by the show. “One of my worries was having these beautiful sweet people in these rough bandit roles,” she says. “Watching them try to tackle it brings a sort of humanity to the play’s characters. Instead of being rough stereotypes, there’s been a big thought process in the development of each character.” It’s not a typical musical, and has, in fact, been known as a musical play rather than a traditional musical.

Inner Harbour to host art festival
BY BILL HUTCHINS
The city welcomes some good looking graffiti this summer. Kingston’s Art on the Wall festival is returning to Doug Fluhrer Park Aug. 21 to 26, three years after the inaugural event. A large retaining wall in the park behind Rideaucrest seniors home will be the focus of the weeklong arts festival put on by the Friends of Kingston Inner Harbour. “It was a total dream come true for many youth artists,” explained Mary Farrar, one of the festival organizers who first launched the event
in 2014 as a way to celebrate urban art and creativity. The 2014 event, called On the Wall, engaged 21 local artists to paint the length of the retaining wall in a juried street art festival. At the time, some expressed concern the street art would encourage tagging. But offi cials say it did not have the “detrimental” effect that some had feared. This summer’s iteration of the festival will require artists to register and provide a sketch of the type of art, dimensions and colours to paint on the wall. The deadline to register
was July 9. Enthusiastic councillors embraced the festival as a way to showcase artists from across the region. In addition to granting a temporary exemption to the city’s anti-graffiti bylaw, council will also look at making the retaining wall a permanent “legal graffiti wall.” Coun. Rob Hutchison, whose King’s Town district includes the festival, says he wholeheartedly supports this form of urban art, adding the 2014 event was “entirely successful.”

Then there’s water use. The symbol, not surprisingly, is a faucet. Mass freshwater removals can reduce a watershed’s capacity to sustain vital ecosystem processes, wildlife and habitat. Kingston’s threat level — you guessed it — “very high.” How is it, then, that too many of us treat freshwater as if supplies were endless and pristine? Heading along Clergy Street I pass a funeral parlour parking lot. And too often a fellow in a sober, dark suit is busily hosing down the pavement with drinking water — treated at considerable public expense. I find this gross waste highly irritating. So I’ve been known to holler “Get a broom!” Only to be met by a quizzical stare, as if the guy with the hose (Freud comes to mind) can’t get the point. One of the groups that’s trying to turn our collective attention to the water and, indeed, Kingston’s waterfront, organized a Shoreline Shuffl e a few years back. The Water Access Group’s (WAG) successful walk/cycle/paddle event attracted hundreds. It was fun, a followup to a couple of Mass Swim events aimed at drawing attention to what it called the City of Kingston’s “piecemeal, ad hoc, short-term way of doing waterfront planning.” Planning. Surely one reason people hereabouts don’t relate very well to the water and our waterfront is that it’s so hard to get at the shore. Planners and their political masters have over the years allowed hotels and upmarket condos to form a waterfront wall between the citizens and their shoreline. Such mistake-by-the-lake privatization of public access does little to encourage awareness of a priceless resource now facing daunting threats. Last year the Marine Museum, another link to the lake, found itself homeless, its extensive collection in storage after developer Jay Patry bought its waterfront home. Given Kingston’s sorry planning record, another brick in the waterfront wall may well loom. That’s why I recently strolled onto the ferry for an “Eating Lake Ontario” event organized by WAG and Lake Ontario Waterkeeper. The
meal was served up at the Wolfe Island Grill, that enticing resto-bar just steps from the Marysville ferry dock. The shoreline venue was perfect for raising waterfront awareness while underlining the way we tend to ignore local and regional marine resources. But isn’t fish from the lake a bit dodgy? “Everyone asks if it is safe to eat fish from Lake Ontario,” said WAG’s David McDonald, tucking into a plate of pan-fried pickerel. “But we seldom ask any questions about fish from elsewhere in the world, even though we know less about it.” A good point. How many even blink before buying those super-cheap, taste-free “shrimp rings” at the supermarket? Kingstonians drink the water from the lake — at least those who balk at actually paying for water trucked in by the bottled water racket. And how about the splendid success of the local food movement? Local farmers can’t keep up with demand. The Wolfe Island Grill is pretty well the only full-sized waterfront eatery in these parts. There’s nowhere downtown that you can enjoy a quiet, shoreline meal. So the Eating Lake Ontario folks made the shrewd decision to hold the sold-out event right at the Grill, right by the water. The catfish, trout and pickerel were prepared with chives, tarragon and different rice dishes. “It would be cheaper to put on this dinner if we imported all the fi sh from the Philippines,” explained McDonald, a veteran promotor of public services and public access to the waterfront. “There’s something really wrong with that.” The Mother Earth Water Walkers offer a similar message. “It’s raising that consciousness to understand that we cannot live without water,” explained Tasha Beeds, a Trent University grad student and member of the Midewiwin Lodge interviewed by CBC Radio’s Rosanna Deerchild. “It sounds so simple, but it’s amazing how many people don’t actually think about water consumption today and the way we treat the water.”

Typically, Blue Canoe produces one show in the summer, but because it’s the company’s 10th anniversary, they’ll be doing two shows over July and August, which will be the 37th and 38th productions in their 10-year history. The next show in the schedule will be Spamalot. Watch for my column about it in two weeks. Tickets for The Man of La Mancha are available from the Grand Theatre website or at the door (cash only, at the door). The Man of La Mancha will be performed at the Domino Theatre site from July 12 through July 22. For more information, visit bluecanoetheatrical.com. Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin.

Mary fully enjoyed Orangeman’s parade It didn’t matter a whit if you were an Irish Catholic, a German Lutheran, or someone from some other background, everyone for miles around went to the Orangeman’s parade on the 12th of July. Father and the brothers were up at the crack of dawn to do the chores early, and Mother and Audrey were making
the lunch to take into Renfrew long before I was out of bed. It would be the most exciting event since the parade several years ago. Towns took turns in hosting the 12th of July, and that year it was Renfrew’s turn. If you didn’t get into town early to park on the main street, you had to go to wherever you could find a spot, and you then ended up standing in the blazing sun under one of the awnings a very few stores had over their doorways. And so that morning, we headed into Renfrew at a time when we would usually be just eating our breakfast. Every ounce of me tingled with excitement. There was nothing that thrilled me more than marching bands and crowds of people, and I could certainly be assured of both as we drove into town in the Model T, hoping we could make the 12 ½ mile trip without a flat tire. “Couldn’t be better,” Father said as he wheeled the car next to the curb right in front of the Chinese restaurant. “When can we have the lunch?” Emerson wanted to know. Mother just rolled her eyes in answer. He was treading on thin ice to begin with, as he fought Everett to sit next to the back window, which wasn’t a window at all, but rolled up curtains tied with narrow leather straps. It seemed like hours had passed before we heard the bands coming onto the main street from the fair grounds, and I knew from remembering the last Orangeman’s Parade, that leading the bands and people
walking down Raglan Street, would be King Billy on a white horse, dressed in white himself, with sashes and ribbons in bright orange. I was fair tingling by the time we saw the white horse three blocks away, and you could hear the people clapping and cheering, as the Orangemen marched behind bands. They too, were all dressed in white, with orange banners across their chests. I asked my sister Audrey why we couldn’t be in the parade too, and she said you had to be Irish, and preferably a Catholic. Well, there were the Briscoe’s and they certainly weren’t Catholic! Audrey told me to hush up and listen to the bands soon to be in front of us, as we leaned against the Model T. And then we heard the clomp-clomp of hooves, and knew King Billy would soon appear. And appear he did! Such splendour! Such vivid colours, and the plumed hat, which was obviously too big for him, covering his eyes, so that he had to toss his head back every few seconds to see where he was going and wave to the throngs of people. And right behind King Billy was the Orangeman who was obviously just as important as King Billy himself. He had a small drum attached to his waist somehow, but he was also blowing into the tiniest horn I had ever seen. Continued on page 16

Chime systems column sparks additional letters I received some interesting emails sparked by a recent column on warning lights and chime systems on a reader’s new Mazda. “Hi Brian, I found your column starting with a letter from "Mazda 3 owner" set out the same problem I have noticed with my 2017 Mazda CX-3 which, like your other reader, I have found quite disconcerting. I have now checked out the Mazda Canada answer to your inquiry in real time on the vehicle. Although the information in the reply is accurate, I would suggest that Mazda should enhance the warnings better or make sure that the vehicle cannot move when the engine is stopped while the transmission is at "D" or "N". The orange light on the start button seems to be there more because the ACC mode is on than as a warning (the radio continues
to play). The red security indicator light does indeed fl ash but is very small (inconspicuous to me) and for some people might be hidden by the adjustable steering wheel. The beeping sound when the door is opened does happen but does not click in my brain that it is beeping because the car is not in "P" or that it is a warning that the car is rolling backward (or forward). Maybe a klaxon horn should sound. I will be taking a copy of your column and this email to my Mazda dealer in the near future for their comment. Thanks for your attention to details like this. I always read your column when it is in the paper.” Best regards David “Hello Brian, Just riding with a friend in a relatively new ('14 or '15) Mazda CX5 and noticed that there was a red 'spanner' lit up on the dash (lower right area on the speedometer dial). When I mentioned it she said that it was OK because she knew it was telling her to have an oil change and it comes
up on a timed basis. When I suggested that it might be her oil life monitor she also pointed out that according to the sticker in the windshield she wasn't due for an oil change for awhile yet, I didn't check the date. Not sure if you may be familiar with this warning? I know that most 'oil life monitors' don't really check the condition of the oil/additives. That's why they will not warn you if you have a coolant leak for example other than the effects of the high internal temps. I believe they start with a theoretical max life then subtract km based on running time, number of starts, ambient temps, engine temps, time and probably 10 more factors. Guess I should pursue this a bit and suggest that an early oil change may be cheap insurance even if it may be that the last servicing tech did not reset the 'mileage meter' and it's actually indicating time for her last oil change? Another subject, as the first time owner of a vehicle with a tire pressure monitoring system I have a question. Continued on page 18 New Branded Ho tel Thriftlodge

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC www.southfrontenac.net LIVING HERE 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, as well as our recycle streams. 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
BUILDING SEASON
The Township of South Frontenac requires building permits for all structures greater than (108 sq. ft.) 10 sq. m. in area; additions or renovations to existing structures (including decks); installation or alteration of a plumbing system (including septic systems); installation or alteration of a heating or ventilation system and any material alteration to a structure (including new pools). Please contact Building staff prior to starting work to ensure your investment is secure.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT
Summer hours are now in effect at the Depot - Open every Thursday from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm Please remember that accepted items are hazardous materials, small electronics and bale wrap only. A full listing of accepted materials may be found on our website under Living Here/Solid Waste/Recycling/Household Hazardous Waste.
TOWN HALL UPCOMING MEETINGS • Council – August 1, 2017
When I have a tire rotation done, can I expect that the shop will take the time to tell the computer which tire is now on which end/side of the vehicle as part of the service? Or do they expect me to do it or pay them extra to do it? ‘Looks like a 2 page procedure in the owner’s handbook.” Thank you for your consideration, Lorne Thanks for the questions. Engine oil life monitoring systems do work on a formula of both time and distance and receive all the engine inputs Lorne listed. This vehicle owner would be wise to check their service records to see if the ‘oil change’ reminder is following a predictable schedule. One of the downsides to these monitors is when an oil change is done before the monitor comes on, a tech may neglect to reset the system or some systems won’t allow resets until the icon actually lights up. Regardless of what a monitoring system indicates I would always recommend a minimum of two service visits per year to check on all the other routine maintenance items. As to tire pressure monitoring systems, a tire rotation won’t affect their performance as all factory systems have the capability of recognizing each tire’s position by proximity to the signal receiver. On Saturday, July 15th, the Cornwall
Township Lions Club in hosting its sixth annual Car Show held in Bonville Ontario It’s also All British Car Day at Britannia Beach Park – Lakeside Gardens in Ottawa’s west end.
