On their first date, Carla Moore and her nowhusband, Harold, realized that they shared the dream of opening a farm sanctuary. In 2013, that dream became a reality when the couple purchased 17 acres of pastured and forested land in the Harrowsmith area and opened Happy Tails Farm Sanctuary. “It’s kind of a love story,” Moore says. “We met at an animal rights demonstration, so it was kind of all meant to be.” What began as a pot belly pig sanctuary quickly expanded to serve as a refuge for a number of different bird species and herd animals rescued from neglect and abandonment. Today, the farm is home to about 50 animals, including chickens,

She explains that many pot belly pigs end up abandoned by owners who originally purchased them under the “teacup pig myth.” “There’s a myth out there that these pigs are going to stay mini, but they’re only mini compared to their (500-700 pound) farm pig cousins,” Moore explains. “People buy them thinking they’ll stay small and make a good house pet,

but realize quite soon that they’re not going to stop growing and they do get big.” Six-month-old Charlie the lamb was rescued from industry after he fell ill. “Usually in the industry, a sick lamb is a dead lamb because it takes a lot to bring them back to health,” says Moore, who nursed Charlie back to health in the family home over the winter. Now, the not-so-little-anymore lamb is just as much a member of the family as a dog or cat. Continued on page 3

'Yoga with Charlie' aims to spread compassion, ease the soul Continued from page 1
“We’re so lucky to have an animal like Charlie, who’s so gentle and a great ambassador for farmed animals.” Moore emphasizes that Happy Tails is a vegan
farm sanctuary. “That means we don’t eat any animal products or use any products that have been tested on animals. We do that because it would be crazy to take and save animals but yet still eat them. It just doesn’t make sense.” The Moores run Happy Tails out of pocket, and as the sanctuary continues to grow, it becomes more challenging to keep up with the expense of running it, as additional infrastructure and food costs add up. To help with those costs, and to educate members of the public about animal rescue and living a compassionate lifestyle, they’ve organized a special fundraiser called Yoga With Charlie, which takes place on Aug. 20 at 10:30 a.m. at the farm. A yoga class will be held in a peaceful meadow on the property while Charlie wanders around. Moore remarks that it’s similar to the whole “goat yoga” trend, only with a lamb. “I would like to see people on their mats, taking in the yoga, as Charlie’s wandering around for pets,” she says. “He’s very friendly so he’ll make sure he goes up to each person, I’m quite sure. I’m hoping to get some laughs and to spark conversation.” She notes that “there’s something about animals that eases the soul and
it’s the same with yoga, so it makes sense to bring them both together.” The day will also feature hayrides, children’s activities, a silent auction, reiki sessions and lots of vegan food. There is a suggested donation of $20 for adults and children are free. Moore says she hopes to inspire everyone on their own personal journey of making the world a better place, whether it’s through saving farm animals, cats and dogs, recycling or just doing whatever they can for the planet and society. She also hopes people will come away from the day viewing farm animals in a different light. “The whole goal is to just open up people’s

South Frontenac Museum open for summer season BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com
With 2017 marking Canada’s sesquicentennial, many find themselves exploring the country’s history, and what better place to start than in your own community. The South Frontenac Museum is now open for the summer season, welcoming residents and visitors alike to step inside the former oneroom schoolhouse on Highway 38 to explore the area’s rich history. Opened in August of 2015, the South Frontenac Museum is the result of a collaborative effort between the Township and the Portland District and Area Heritage Society; it's home to local historic artifacts, photographs, books, furnishings and tools. The building itself, originally built in 1903, has been maintained to exhibit the interior of the schoolhouse as it once was, the original blackboards still lining the east wall. Inside, the large, open space is full from the floorboards to the rafters with items dating as far back as the 1800s. Items are curated into sections, with exhibits featuring local educational, military, agricultural, business and domestic history. From a chair once used in a local doctor’s office and the loveseat that once sat in the McMullen house in Verona, to a 200-year-old spinning wheel that remains functional, the museum is treasure trove of days gone by, explained Barbara Smith, past president and one of the founding members of the Portland District and Area Heritage Society. “We haven’t changed the building, like the blackboards, we left them the way they were

have been able to identify themselves or family members in. Local visitors to the museum might also recognize some of the antique signs from local businesses, such as that from Walker &
Genge General Merchants, where Smith herself worked some years ago. The rocking chair school teacher Bessie Meeks always kept in her classroom and the old, wooden school desk complete with original inkwell might jog the memories of those who attended school in the area, and the collection of items from local post offices that have since shut down might be familiar to those who’ve lived in the area as well. Perhaps most striking, however, is the back corner exhibit on local military involvement during the First World War. Curated and painstakingly researched by Heritage Society member Doug Lovegrove, the exhibit offers a glimpse into a part of local history not to be forgotten. In the middle of the First World War as Canada attempted to bolster its manpower, number battalions were created across the country. The 146th Battalion consisted of those men who enlisted in the Overseas Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, beginning in early 1916, Lovegrove explained. A letter appealing for new members for the Battalion, which was circulated at local schools is posted on the blackboards of the museum, drives home just how young many of those who enlisted were at the time. In the corner of the museum is the full uniform of Cpl. William E. Watson, one of those men who enlisted locally, and whose uniform and other items are on loan to the museum thanks to his family, who remain in the area.

Lovegrove, a military man himself, became interested in the 146th Battalion when he first moved to Verona some 35+ years ago, he said. “There was a plaque about the 146th that I noticed, and I’d ask people to tell me about it, but nobody knew anything,â€? Lovegrove explained. “That’s when I started my research.â€? What began as a list of a handful of names known to have belonged to the Battalion is now a working list of over 800 men who served from the area. Over the past decade, Lovegrove has amassed a collection of photographs, soldier information, and primary documents – including the day-to-day documentation of the voyage of The Sutherland, the ship that transported the 146th Battalion overseas, written by one of the privates aboard the ship. “It’s been 10 years, and I’m still not finished,â€? said Lovegrove of his research. The South Frontenac Museum is home to a “As I’ve got a little bit more innumber of interesting exhibits, including formation, then a little bit more in, and a little bit more‌ the military exhibit above, which details lo- comes Hopefully, it will all eventually cal involvement in the First World War. become a book.â€? Tori Stafford/Metroland Until that time, the South
Frontenac Museum remains one of the only places to find that information. It is also home to the desk and typewriter used by poet and author Dorothy Murray Sliter, a long-time Kingstonian who moved to Verona. Atop Sliter's desk, a shadowbox holds the first edition of her work, The Friendly Village, which is not only a piece of local history, but also involves the history of the area throughout. The exhibit mirrors the museum itself - not only is it a place to learn about the history of the area, it, too, is a piece of local history – and one
that offers something of interest for people of all ages. “We worked very hard to get this going‌ I find it’s interesting just to learn about the history of the area,â€? said Jane Adamson, member of the Heritage Society. “We need all the help we can get to let people know we have our wonderful little museum here.â€? South Frontenac Museum is located at 5595 Highway 28 in the hamlet of Hartington, and is open from 1 to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the summer.

KP’s long-term vision: Overnight stays, tin plate meals, haunted walks? BY BILL HUTCHINS
Big things are planned for the Big House. The popular daily tours of Kingston Penitentiary are set to continue indefinitely under a newly-approved vision to redevelop the former prison lands. The St. Lawrence Parks Commission (SLPC), which currently oversees the tours, couldn’t be happier with the longterm plan. “The St. Lawrence Parks Commission is very excited to be able to continue to provide the tourism asset that is the Kingston Penitentiary tours,” said
SLPC interim general manager and CEO Ronald Holgerson in a presentation to council July 11. Holgerson laid out some facts and figures to illustrate the growing popularity of tours in the place often referred to as Canada’s ‘Alcatraz’ since it formally opened to the public last year. The 178 year old prison, which closed its doors in 2013, is owned by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) but it has allowed seasonal visits through an annual partnership with the City of Kingston and SLPC. In 2016, the tours sold 46,889 tickets with $207,010 in revenues, a figure that would’ve climbed to $1.4 million had the

tour season lasted a full year. So far in 2017, the attraction has sold 52,968 tickets generating $1.2 million. The revenues are expected to reach as high as four million dollars with an expanded season from May to October, longer hours, higher fees, a two-tiered visitor experience and the launch of same-day, walk-up ticket sales, Holgerson explained. “CSC doesn’t like us to call it Canada’s Alcatraz but if we could it would have global recognition,” he said, adding the prison has already attracted visitors from remote corners of the world. He says the public’s fascination with life in a maximum security prison that once housed the notorious likes of Iceberg, Romaine, Clifford Olson, Russell Williams and Leaf Lettuce and Paul Bernardo continues to draw crowds. It has quickly become of /EA the city’s hottest attractions in what tourism operaOntario tors describe as a Hot House “trip motivator,” a /LB Tomatoes destination attraction with the ability to draw visitors through its own reputation.

a lot more to offer visitors if the prison vision is put into action. He listed several long-term strategies such as; -promoting the historic limestone prison as a film production location, -an overnight stay program, -haunted walks, -‘movie in the Pen’ nights, -themed food options such as serving customers meals on inmate-style tin trays. “We think there are a lot of opportunities to expand what happens at Kingston Penitentiary.” But the redevelopment vision that was unanimously approved by council does not include keeping the entire prison grounds open for tourism. It calls for maintaining the paid attraction in the northern half, with the walls intact, while the southern section that’s closer to the water would be transformed into a mix of commercial sues and residential highrises, possibly as tall as 25 storeys. That has sparked some criticism over what some people see as conflicting uses. “Please don’t put high-rises on this site,” architectural historian Jennifer McKendry urged council. “It would make a joke of the idea of tourism.” However, James Cox of Canada Lands Company, the crown corporation overseeing the recent community visioning exercise, says blending heritage and high-rises can work in order to keep the site financially viable. Cox pointed to the condos built next to Toronto’s Distillery District, adding, “I think they work
quite well.” Officials with the city and Canada Lands say the visioning exercise was the start of a process to revitalize Kingston Pen and nearby Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, not the end of it, adding more planning studies and consultation are needed to firm up details of development. While it’s unclear whether SLPC will continue to manage prison tours in the future, Holgerson says the new vision does preserve most of the site’s architectural integrity. “We probably have enough (prison tourism) real estate to activate what’s in the vision.” He says preserving the prison confinement experience – including keeping the looming front and side walls in place - is key to Kingston Pen’s ongoing success as a tourist draw. “The notion of confinement is definitely something that enhances the tourism experience.” He says visitors are drawn to the former prison to experience how inmates lived, the size of their cells, guard stations, workshops and rehab programs, the towering walls and the 19th century architecture. He says Fort Henry and Kingston Pen are to Kingston what the Horseshoe Falls means to Niagara, the CN Tower is to Toronto, and the capital city is to Ottawa as destination attractions.

‘A touring playground’: DJ Kid Koala brings ‘The Silliest Show on Earth’ to The Grand BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
Each night’s performance features unique aspects, too. The Kingston audience of Vaudeville Vinyl will see a slightly different show from what the Quebec City audience views the week before. “We have six days in between the shows where the dancers and I are here workshopping,” he notes. “I’m sure we’ll be testing out a bunch of new material.” San describes Vaudeville Vinyl as “1,000 per cent human.” “That’s the thing I’m most excited about,” he says. “It’s quite
Kid Koala (aka Eric San) is a world-renowned DJ, music producer, puppeteer and graphic novelist, so as one can imagine he has a pretty unique way of performing his art. “The first part of my touring career was spent just DJing by myself alone in a nightclub,” he explains. “As I released more and more records, I developed a repertoire of tracks that weren’t dance floor-oriented.” Rather than creating up-tempo versions or remixes of the songs, San decided to add a team of dancers and puppets and present them in way that was more theatrical. His latest show, called Vinyl Vaudeville, is subtitled “The Silliest Show on Earth” and will be performed at the Grand Theatre July 22 as part of the Kick and Push Festival. “It’s pretty fun,” San notes, explaining that “every track is its own act.

In Our Opinion
The SUP life is more complicated than it looks
A couple of months ago, Steve and I decided to get a stand up paddleboard (SUP). This was a big decision for us, because a) we (or at least I) have wanted one for a very long time, and b) they’re expensive — or at least, as far as we’re concerned, dropping $500 on such an unnecessary item is not something we are able to do very often. But, after a lot of thought and some fun experiences on other people’s SUPs, we came to the conclusion that the happiness the board would provide made the expense worth it, and when we found one on sale over the May long weekend, we took the plunge. Of course, logistics were a consideration. The board is large and awkward on land. Finding a safe and effective method of transporting it from our home to various bodies of water and back was an obvious challenge. After consulting with employees at the store, we determined that the best decision for us was to buy some foam pads and heavyduty rope to strap it down to
the top of our car, as opposed to paying big bucks for a roof rack. After transporting the SUP home safely, then bringing it to and from Doug Fluhrer Park without any major disasters, we were feeling pretty confident about this choice. Then, on Canada Day — also the first day of my holidays, during which I was hoping to use the SUP a lot — we decided to bring it to my aunt and uncle’s on Howe Island. We strapped it to the roof as always and off we went. After a few minutes of driving down Highway 15, the familiar sound of wind whipping through the taught rope holding the board down suddenly ceased. We heard a thump on top of the car and I looked out the back window to see the SUP fly through the air, hit the pavement and skid into a ditch on the side of the road. Steve pulled over and we frantically raced over to retrieve the board. Honestly, it could have been much worse. There were no cars following close behind us, no one was hurt and the SUP appeared to have survived the tumble with minimal injury — just a few little scratches. We very carefully drove it back home before proceeding to the island, then a few days later to the cottage we rented in Prince Edward County, sans

SUP. I was sad not to have it, but there was no way we were taking it anywhere until we found a safe method of transporting it. On the upside, the place we stayed on our holiday had SUPs there for people to use, so we were still able to enjoy the activity while silently pining for our own. Upon our return, we looked into getting a roof rack and learned that the cost of the rack plus installation is twice as much as we paid for the SUP itself. Ummmm ‌ no thanks. Now, we have no clue how to handle this situation. On one hand, we purchased this board, we know we love the activity and want to be able to enjoy it. The summer is flying by and I’d hate for September/October arrived without more opportunities to use the SUP. On the other hand, we simply cannot afford to spend $1,000 on a roof rack. It’s out of the question given our budget. So, I’m putting the question out there — does anyone have any advice? I see lots of SUPS, canoes, etc., strapped to cars with apparently no issues. Is it possible we’re just doing it wrong? Steve and I are pretty new at this whole thing, so any suggestions as to how we can transport this thing around without spending a fortune would be appreciated.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, July 20, 2017
Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to all Canadians It has been a contentious few weeks after the Government of Canada announced on July 7 it had reached a settlement with Omar Khadr. In a statement, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, stated: “Today, we are announcing that the Government of Canada has reached a settlement with Mr. Omar Khadr, bringing this civil case to a close. On behalf of the Government of Canada, we wish to apologize to Mr. Khadr for any role Canadian officials may have played in relation to his ordeal abroad and any resulting harm. We hope that this expression, and the negotiated settlement reached with the government, will assist him in his efforts to begin a new and hopeful chapter in his life with his fellow Canadians. The details of the settlement are confidential between Mr. Khadr and the government.� The details have since been leaked and allegedly that settlement includes $10.5 million, a figure that outraged many Canadians almost as much as the apology itself, but why? Surely anyone who had been following this case for the past 15 years should have seen some sort of compensation coming given Ottawa’s failure to uphold its legal rights. And yet, a recent poll, conducted by Angus Reid Institute (ARI), revealed 71 per cent of respondents felt the government had "done the wrong thing." Those disapproval numbers undoubtedly jump even higher among conservatives and many have been quick to judge Trudeau and his decision. But in the end, all of this comes down to Khadr and his rights as a Canadian. As the Supreme Court wrote bluntly in 2010, “Canada actively participated in a process contrary to its international human rights obligations and contributed to (Khadr’s) ongoing detention so as to deprive him of his right to liberty and security of the person.� On top of that, Khadr also qualified as a child soldier under UN conventions, conventions that Canada had pledged to uphold and the government should have done all it could to protect him given this fact. Whether you agree with the settlement and the apology or not, it all comes down to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that should apply to all Canadians — including Omar Khadr.

been interested in the loggerhead shrike in this area for many years and we were watching the gradual decline. There was some work done to preserve their habitat and this continues on that now and we’ve donated to the various campaigns over the years,” said Paul Mackenzie, a member of the Kingston Field Naturalists. Mackenzie was pleased to see the number of people in attendance at the announcement on July 10 and he hopes that preservation efforts will continue in the years to come. “I think there is a growing interest to preserve habitats like this and it is important for the land owners in the area to be aware of the importance of the land too,” he said. “We all need to do our part if we want these
species to survive.” The impact of the land acquisition has already been seen as two pairs of eastern loggerhead shrike mated this past season and produced six young on the land. Another pair also mated on the land to the west and the NCC is already fundraising to acquire and conserve the 78 acres of land where this took place. “This is a strong hold for loggerhead strike and we want to keep that going,” said Stabb. “These are spaces that aren’t just set aside for the species like the loggerhead shrike, they are also set aside for people; for people to enjoy and understand nature and for the next generation of Canadians to understand what our natural legacy is really all about.”

Animal blood donors encouraged to help give gift of life, too “They get a unit of a blood product, should they ever require it and they just have to contact us if the dog is ever in need and we will make sure they get it at no charge,” explained Robinson. “We also microchip the donating dogs and we do some tests that are usually quite expensive for free to make sure that they are healthy.” Despite these incentives, the blood bank is consistently short on donations and while Robinson understands that many pet owners may be worried about having their dogs do-

We all know how important it is to give blood and help save lives, but it is also important for our furry friends to do the same. The Canadian Animal Blood Bank is always looking for more donors and they recently developed a partnership with the Kingston Regional Pet Hospital. “We do lots of blood transfusions here and we are always needing blood and we thought it was a great opportunity to bring a clinic to the community,” said Sasha Latimer, office manager. “We also act as a distribution centre for the blood bank and we’ve been working with them since January 2017.” The Canadian Animal Blood Bank, which started in Manitoba, has been operating for more than 20 years. Now, the blood bank runs clinics in Manitoba, Alberta and Ontario. Before the blood bank, donations were found as they were needed at clinics. “Typically what would happen, if a transfusion was needed you were calling a staff member to get them to bring their dog in,” said Mary Robinson, national co-ordinator for the Canadian Animal Blood Bank. “Now with the blood bank, the blood is tested for diseases and screening processes are done before they donate and it is a lot safer.” Dozer giving blood at the Kingston Regional Pet There are also benefits to donatingHospital on July 5.

nate, she assures them that it is really easy. “It is so easy and a lot of people say that their dog is too excitable, but it is almost like a switch goes off for the dog and they know that they are doing a service and they calm down right away,” she said. “They get to know the procedure and they look forward to the treats at the end.” To be eligible to donate, dogs must be between one and eight years old, weigh at least 55 pounds, and have all their current vaccinations. So far the response in Kingston has been great at the clinics, but Latimer is always encouraging more of her clients to donate. “The response has been really great and we are getting more and more donors, but it is
hard to get the word out,” she said. “It is a really valuable service so we are always promoting it.” Donations are also needed more throughout the summer months and Robinson is always short around long weekends. “People are out with their pets and things happen,” she said. “We have spikes just like the regular blood bank and it is so important to keep the blood bank well stocked.” For more information about the Canadian Animal Blood Donor Clinic, how to donate and when they will be in Kingston visit canadiananimalbloodbank.ca.

During the Road Rally, participants will complete fun mental, physical and artistic challenges and collect clues for chances to win prizes and have some good old fashioned fun.

When 24-year-old Leisha Dixon posted a video of her neighbour’s racist rant on Facebook, she only expected a couple of people to see it and comment. Now, just over a week later, thousands of community members have seen the video — and on July 12, some held a rally outside of Dixon’s home to let her neighbour and the rest of the community know that racism is not OK. “I was so shocked by the response, and to see the support today has been crazy,” said Dixon. “It is really great to see people standing up for this. It (racism) happens to me and it happens to a bunch of other people here, too, and this is giving us a voice.” According to Dixon, her neighbour has been harassing her since October. “It has been constant; kicking, stomping, hitting the walls, and every time I leave or come home, there is yelling from her balcony door,” she explained. “My family gets harassed, my friends get harassed, and it has been ongoing.” Dixon said she has never done anything to her neighbour to provoke this type of behaviour and she can only see one explanation for it. “Honestly, it is because of the colour of my skin,” she said. “She even says it is because I am black all the time, and she won’t try to
settle it with a conversation. She just keeps harassing me and calling me the N-word.” In the video Dixon posted, her neighbour uses the N-word several times. When community member Aimee Van Vlack first saw it on Facebook, she said it made her feel sick. “I was nauseous and sad for Leisha. I wasn’t completely shocked, and I like to think that I am not ignorant to these types of things, but I was a bit shocked,” she said. “Deb (Kinder) saw the video, too. She suggested we do something about it and I was in immediately.” Kinder and Van Vlack posted an event on Facebook and organized the rally. Soon after, community members joined in. On July 12, nearly 100 people gathered outside of Dixon’s home. Van Vlack hopes their message continues to spread across the community. “I want people to understand that racism happens in our community,” she said. “People like to say that Canada is not racist and that definitely is not the case. We need to be calling people out on their racism and working to make Kingston better.” Police have been contacted regarding the harassment that Dixon has endured and the video that was posted.

Nearly 100 Kingstonians gathered for an anti-racism rally in Kingston on July 12. Mandy Marciniak/Metroland
Kingstonians hold anti-racism rally following viral video Continued from page 12
On July 7, they responded with a release stating, “The Kingston police wishes to assure the community that we will investigate hate propaganda and hate/bias-motivated crimes as a priority; the Kingston police are committed to assuming a lead role in co-ordinating police and community responses to these crimes.” Dixon felt their response wasn’t enough, and that while the officers were helpful, she still felt they could have done more. “The officers I have met with have been good about the situation, but I haven’t had enough evidence to give them — she stops as soon as authorities come and then it is just hearsay,” she said. “I have written letters to my landlord and they tell me to call the police, and the police tell me to call the landlord. Nothing really gets resolved.” Media relations officer Cameron Mack confirmed that the investigation is still ongoing, and while charges have not been laid in relation to this incident, police have responded to past incidents between Dixon and her neighbour. “There have been numerous incidents involving both parties that we have addressed, but for this particular incident, the investiga-
tion is still open and there is no determination of a charge or not at this point,” he said. “The video itself, just to be clear, is not a criminal offence and there has to be more to it. That is why it is still an open investigation. We have to look at what happened before, and what happened after and why before we charge.” Kingston police were present at the rally on July 12, but simply to make sure it remained peaceful. Mack added that they supported the cause. “We fully support anti-racism and we have initiatives in place in regards to that. We have a full-time diversity officer that helps to resolve situations as they occur.” Until that investigation is finished, Dixon still feels uncomfortable at home. She admitted that she and her one-year-old daughter spend very little time there. “It scares my daughter and it scares both of us. We leave in the morning and come home around 8 p.m., and she goes to bed,” she said. “I’m just learning how to be a mom, and I am on my own, and it has been quite trying.” Dixon will be making an appearance in front of the Landlord and Tenant Board Tribunal on July 19 regarding her situation. She hopes the video will help make her case and her neighbour is forced to move out.

Mack said that the police are also working to help resolve the situation. “With these two individuals being neighbours, that is a problem, obviously,” he said. “We are working with our community partner agencies to come up with a solution that will alleviate this problem.” Until then, Dixon hopes community mem-
bers take notice of her situation and work hard to continue the fight against racism in Kingston. “I hope they take in what they are seeing and live by their words. In 2017, we should all be able to get along and work together,” she said. “We all need to work to make Kingston a better place to live for everyone.”

Program puts wheels in motion for kids with disabilities BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com
For many kids, learning to ride a bike is pretty easy, but for kids with disabilities, learning to ride a bike can be intimidating, frustrating and scary — that is where iCan Bike comes in. Since 2007, iCan Bike has been helping riders of all ages with disabilities learn to ride a bike. The charitable not-for-profit organization works with local organizations to host five-day iCan Bike programs across the United States and Canada and from July 3 to 7 they visited Kingston and the Constantine arena. “This is the first time

Tyse Vandergoot, bike riding was something he always wanted to do, but never could, until iCan Bike. “I didn’t know how to ride at the beginning of the week and I was a little scared,” he said. “Now, it is fun and they aren’t strict about us riding and I am excited to ride around the neighbourhood with my friends soon.” Gillan hopes that the program will come back again and she hopes more families in the area will take part if it does. “It is so valuable and these kids need special help and encouragement to get going, but it is phenomenal to see them get to the end and how proud they are.” For more information about the iCan Bike program visit their website at icanshine.org.

CANADA'S FIRM FOR SMALL BUSINESS TAX NEEDS
Community encouraged to come together for Kingston for Portugal fundraiser BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com
In June, a catastrophic fire in Portugal claimed 64 lives, caused many injuries and the displacement of families. As Kingstonian Martine Boudreau watched from afar, she knew she had to do something. “I am Canadian, but my Portuguese roots are really important, “ she explained. “When I saw the fires, I knew that I had to do something and I decided organize a fundraiser. Event though the situ-
ation is happening there, one day it could be us.” Boudreau set out to organize a fundraising dinner and dance for families affected by the fires and while she initially reached out to the Portuguese community, she wanted the event to be about more than that. “I didn’t want this to be just a Portuguese thing, I wanted it to be Kingston for Portugal and get everyone involved,” she said. “We all need to come together when things like this happen.” On July 22, Boudreau, with

the help of numerous volunteers, will host the dinner and dance at the Fatima Parish on Division Street. The event will feature live entertainment, guest speakers and raffles and she hopes it will raise funds to help those devastated by the fires. “The fires affected over 40 villages and people died trying to escape the fires. They have lost everything and they need to rebuild,” she said. “They have help right now, but they need continued support to rebuild and move forward.” Numerous businesses in Kingston have stepped up to support the event and Boudreau has been overwhelmed by the response so far. “I have people emailing me and asking if they can help and volunteers coming forward,” she said. “It has been inspiring to see and we hope that we can raise $10,000 when it is all done.” Boudreau has also set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds and she has made numerous ribbons for people to wear in support; for her, every little bit counts. “I have been recruiting volunteers wherever I can and
finding whatever I can because the less I spend the more we can donate.” She hopes that community members take notice and come out to support the event. “Just come and help give back. We need to come together and be positive and
lend our support where we can.” The Kingston for Portugal event takes place on Saturday, July 22, at 6:30 p.m. at the Fatima Parish church and hall at 588 Division St. Tickets for the event are $30 for adults and $10 for kids and are avail-
able by contacting Martine Boudreau at 613-531-8000 or Shawn Rego at 613-929-1294. Ribbons are also available at Vapor Amour, 1093 John Counter Blvd. To donate, visit the GoFundMe page gofundme.com/forest-fires-devastating-portugal.

life was a distinct possibility. So, I left him alone. The barn cats were never allowed in the house. Mother thought anything walking on four feet should be in the barn! I never knew where all the kittens came from. I thought everyone in Northcote had a pile of them, and I heard that some people, when the numbers grew, put them in a grist bag and threw them in the Bonnechere River. The very thought sent chills right through my body, and I was grateful none of our cats came to that end. And it wasn’t unusual for someone like Two Mile Herman to bring a kitten to the Northcote School and try to talk someone into taking it home. This rarely worked, since we all had our own barnful of cats.

No one could remember when or where Sparky came from. But one day my older brother Everett said it was Sparky who was responsible for the pack of cats we housed in the barn. I couldn’t imagine how that was possible. He never left the place to bring a new cat to the farm. And when I mentioned that fact to Everett, he just threw back his head and laughed. Sparky was as big as a small Collie dog, and he always looked like he had had a serious confrontation with some wild animal in the bush, which he frequented often. Sometimes he would be gone for days, and as soon as Father would say “good riddance," there Sparky would appear as large as life. That was when I first heard that a cat had nine lives. How anyone figured that out was beyond me. Did someone stop to count them? I did know the barn cats survived many close calls though. Often a cow would kick a cat and it would land several feet away, stand up, shake itself off as if getting rid of the chaff from the hay laying around, and walk off as if nothing had happened. I once asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey what the cats ate. We certainly never fed them. There were several old battered tin plates in the barn that were filled with milk when the milking was done. But to me that was all they
ever put in their stomachs. But Audrey said they survived on eating mice. That too, sent chills up my back. I didn’t know whether to root for the cat or the mouse, since I loved animals of every description. So if the cats survived on mice and milk, they sure flourished. I once tried to give them names, but so many of them looked alike that I gave up. Except for Sparky. For the longest time he was the only one in the barn who had different coloured eyes. On hot summer days, one of my favourite places was sitting on the cement platform that held the pump and often a barn cat would wander over, and I would take it on my lap, and my greatest joy was when it snuggled down and started to purr. Never in a hundred years could I do that with Sparky! Some of the barn cats were black and white, and sometimes a grey striped kitten would appear, and occasionally, I would go into the barn and find a new batch of kittens huddled in the hay, and they would be the spitting image of Sparky. Once I found one new kitten that even had two different coloured eyes. I could never figure out how a new kitten could look like old Sparky. By way of explanation, my brother Everett would just say, “old Sparky’s been at it again” whatever that meant.

Research shows that drinking any type of alcohol, whether it is beer, wine or spirits, raises your risk of cancer. The less alcohol you drink, the more you reduce your risk of cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that if you choose to drink alcohol, keep it to less than 1 drink a day for women and less than 2 drinks a day for men. Drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco together are worse for you than either on its own. How much is a drink? A drink is: • one 341 mL (12 oz) bottle of beer (5% alcohol) • one 142 mL (5 oz) glass of wine (12% alcohol) • one 43 mL (1.5 oz) shot of spirits (40% alcohol) Drinking about 3.5 drinks a day can double or even triple your risk of developing cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus. This amount can also increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer and breast cancer by 1.5 times.
How can you cut down your alcohol intake? To cut down on your alcohol consumption, here are some practical tips: • Quench your thirst with water or another non-alcoholic drink before drinking alcohol. • Space out your drinks. • Drink some water along with your alcoholic drink. • Avoid salty snacks such as potato chips or nuts while drinking alcohol. Salt makes you thirsty and more likely to drink quickly. • Do something other than drink or something to slow down drinking when you’re out with friends. • Find other ways to cope with stress, besides drinking or smoking. • Keep track of your drinking habits. • Set reasonable goals – for example, not drinking alone or when stressed. Schedule at least 2 alcohol-free days each week. You’re more likely to be successful with goals like these than if you try to cut out all alcohol immediately.

How to lessen the pain of repairing your ride No doubt about it; we like taking our vehicles in for repairs about as much as getting a root canal done with low-grade anesthetic. And for good reason. Our rides have become so complicated that it almost takes degrees in advanced electronics and engineering just to be able to find out where to put the washer fluid (if we manage to get the hood open). So we’re often at the mercy of our service providers to keep our wheels on the road and thankfully for the most part, things go well. The venerable Consumers Report group completed a survey a few years back capturing the comments and opinions of over 5,000 drivers who had recently taken their autos in for service and who weren’t completely satisfied with the results. Here are the results with a few tips on how to lessen the pain. Price was too high. It’s hard to battle the adage that ‘no one repairs anything anymore; they just replace it’ when we’re quoted hundreds of dollars for components for which there are no serviceable parts. When you receive a shocker of an estimate, take the time to ask if there are any alternatives such as rebuilt, used, or aftermarket parts. Did not fix the problem properly. This can be a major headache, for even if your shop doesn’t charge you for a second repair visit (depending
on the circumstances), there’s the inconvenience of making another set of arrangements to be without your vehicle. If you’re in this situation, make the time to either road-test the vehicle with your tech or shop manager to demonstrate the problem. Arranging to come in at a non-peak time (for most shops it’s after the morning rush between 7 and 9 a.m.) gives everyone involved a chance to focus their attention in a more relaxed and non-rushed atmosphere. If you already paid for the repair (in an out-of-warranty situation) ask up front about the costs of the second visit and how things can be worked out to your satisfaction. Took longer than expected to complete the work. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but many times it involves shop scheduling. Make it clear when you drop your vehicle off what time you need to have it ready. If you can’t arrange any type of emergency transport if something goes awry, ask about a loaner or rental vehicle in advance. Many shops offer shuttle services and often they can be arranged to get you home and back if a replacement vehicle isn’t an absolute necessity. Had to bring car back because repair did not ‘hold up’. You should always ask what warranty comes with any repair and exactly what it covers. A five-year guarantee on a $30 part isn’t of much value if it doesn’t cover the $300 labour charge to replace it for example. Good shops will provide this information in writing on your repair invoice so you don’t have to guess. Don’t throw those old repair invoices out. Many customers are surprised to learn that a lot of auto
parts come with two-year warranties or longer and many have no distance limitations. I’ve said (and written it before) and I’ll say it again; the best defense anyone can have against a bad auto repair transaction is a good working relationship with their chosen shop. Developing and keeping one can save you more money and trouble than you might imagine.
