South Frontenac marks completion of improvements at Point Memorial Park BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com
Families and children running through the grass and enjoying the new play structure perfectly framed the ribbon-cutting to mark the completion of park improvements at the Point Memorial Park
in Sydenham. Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox, and Addington, joined members of South Frontenac Township Council for the official ribbon-cutting, which took place at 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 20. The event formally acknowledged the completion of over two months' work that took place at the park, commonly re-
ferred to as The Point, which was able to be done thanks to an Ontario150 Capital Project through the Ontario Trillium Foundation. South Frontenac Township found out it was receiving the funds early this year, and, through Parkland reserve funds, the township matched the $77,500 grant to cover the $155,000-worth of improvements. Work began on the
park in early spring and included upgrading the washrooms/change rooms and the summer camp facility, converting the former tennis courts into a multi-use sports pad, installing the new play structure, and paving an accessible pathway through The Point.

Via touting new rail line through Tweed, Sharbot Lake BY CHRIS MALETTE chris.malette@metroland.com
It’s been decades since the sound of a train whistle was heard in places like Tweed and Sharbot Lake, but a federal and provincial investment into a plan by Via Rail could make it happen. A new passenger rail line is being touted by Via for the corridor between Windsor and Quebec City and that could include stops in both Tweed and Sharbot Lake, locally. Via Rail is proposing $5.25-billion would be needed to build a dedicated passenger rail line through the most populated region of Canada in the Quebe-Wind-
sor corridor. Frontenac County council endorsed a resolution from the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus (EOWC) that called on the federal and Ontario governments to financially support the project. The EOWC resolution included a call for the rail line to included stops at smaller centres, like Tweed, in order to enable "the user to have direct and fast access to railway stations and hubs in communities across rural eastern Ontario." Via says the increasingly crowded main lines make for slower services and longer delays on passenger trains using the mains between Quebec and Windsor. The new line would alleviate the backlog. Via trains currently run on tracks owned by Cana-
dian National Rail, which limits how often the passenger trains can run. The passenger rail service says it is increasingly shunted to sidings to let freight trains pass. Via has charts on its website to show how the proposed new line would be kind to the environment. The Crown corporation says an electrified route between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal would have the equivalent of taking 2.4 million cars off the road. It is also projected that the route would reduce congestion in and out of major urban centres and reduce inter-city trips by car by 11%. The reduced car travel would translate to a reduction of the equivalent of 10.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

South Frontenac Council votes to move ahead with construction of new fire hall BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com
Despite the cost coming in $491,363 over budget, South Frontenac Township will see the construction of a new fire hall on Perth Road following council’s unanimous vote to move forward with the project. The vote took place at South Frontenac Council’s special meeting held Tuesday, Jul. 18, the sole purpose of which was to vote on the matter. Council called for the special meeting at the regular meeting a week prior based on the recommendation to do so as the architect for the project had yet to complete the evaluation of the tenders received. That meeting also saw council express much concern about the prices indicated in the report they received from the Clerks Department regarding the proposed construction of the new fire hall. All six bids on the project were well over the budget council had set for the hall. At that meeting, council directed staff to re-evaluate the design criteria previously approved by council in terms of ‘needs’ and ‘wants’, and to consider further cost savings. At the special meeting, council received a report from Wayne Orr, CAO/ Clerk for the township, which recommended they move forward with the project despite it being over budget,
and that council award the contract for the construction to the lowest bidder. Anglin Group Ltd. provided the lowest bid for the project at $1,465,569 — $446,569 more than the $1 million allotted for the construction in the budget. Most strikingly, the report indicated there had been a “misconception” influencing the conversation and debate about the construction of the new hall. Council and staff have referred to the Perth Road Fire Hall as a “secondary hall” throughout the process of building a new hall at the site, which began well before 2014. The report said that in 2013, when the last fire study was completed, the data available was “skewed by the way that dispatch recorded calls”. For the first time throughout the process, council were presented with call volume data for 2014 through 2017 to date in the report. That data shows Perth Road Station as the third-busiest station for the past two years, a trend that is continuing this year. The report recommended that the unbudgeted funds for the project — $491,363, including the non-rebatable portion of the HST — be funded through the Facilities/Property reserve, and that the $200,000 necessary for site works for the project (including paving, a water tank, landscaping, and curbing)
be budgeted in 2018. At the meeting, many councillors expressed the need to move forward with the construction of the new hall, but a number also felt the need to express their frustration with the process leading up to the vote before them. “I am deeply concerned about a number of issues around this whole approach,” said councillor Alan Revill, noting that he feels the idea of relying on reserves and moving some of the necessary financing in the 2018 budget is “massively indicative” of the problems council and staff have had with this tender. “I’m also concerned that we’re only getting the call volumes for this hall at the 11th and 59th hour,” he said, noting that call volumes should have been information of which Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough must have been aware the whole time. “I’m also frustrated that we never received a report from the chief.” Still, councillors Ross Sutherland and Mark Schjerning, Deputy Mayor Norm Rogers, and Mayor Ron Vandewal voiced their desire to move forward with the construction. “We need to be thinking ahead and building a building that is going to have a useful lifespan of 50 years plus,” said Schjerning.
Wayne Orr (left), CAO and clerk for South Frontenac Township, answers questions from councillors as Mayor Ron Vandewal looks on during a special meeting of South Frontenac Council held Tuesday, Jul. 18. Tori Stafford/Metroland “In order to do that, we need to have certain things included, and those are very well-indicated in the report, which I think is very thorough.” Vandewal said maintaining fire halls needs to be a larger priority for the township moving forward, noting that investing in already-existing halls would help to preserve them for longer periods of time, and that hasn’t been done. He
then turned his attention to the matter at hand. “Do I like the number? Absolutely not,” he said of the cost for the construction of the new fire hall. “We were all hoping for a better number, but that number is not going to get better, and I think at this time we have to move forward.”

Kingston hospitals receive nearly $10 million in infrastructure funding BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
It may not be a shiny new bridge, but it’s funding that is sure to have a significant impact on those who receive care at Kingston’s hospitals. MPP Sophie Kiwala admitted as much standing in the Sydenham Street lobby of Hotel Dieu Hospital Monday morning to announce that just shy of $10 million ($9,980,796, to be exact), will be invested in infrastructure upgrades to Kingston Health Sciences Centre and Providence Care. This funding will be used to make critical improvements to the facilities including upgrades or replacements of roofs, windows, and heating and air conditioning systems. “Earlier this year I announced a joint provincial and federal announcement in water sewer systems,� Kiwala recalled. “I remarked at the time that these types of investments are not the sexy infrastructure investments like roads
and of course bridges, but these investments are tangible and visible to the public and they make such a huge difference to our society.� For example, part of the money will be used to purchase five new HVAC units at Kingston General Hospital. “It is critical that hospital HVAC systems are finely tuned and remain in a state of the art condition to cycle the airflow,� Kiwala explained, noting that without adequate airflow “hospitals and in particular surgery rooms cannot successfully remain germ free and healthy for the patients that are being looked after there.� Such upgrades are expected to improve the access to health care and improve wait times by making sure that the hospital is able to use all of the facilities in top working order. Kingston Health Sciences Centre president and CEO Dr. David Pichora noted, for instance, that the hot July day was a fitting time to make this announcement. “It’s always days like today when we’re worried about surgical cancellations, especially at the KGH site, because of the older equipment over there that supports those operating rooms,� Pichora said, explaining that having modern and effective HVAC systems are critically important because they moderate airflow and humidity.
“Kingston Health Sciences Centre operates two of the oldest hospitals in the country, and although it’s great to have that special history, that brings some challenges too. It’s very important that we maintain the quality standards and the safety standards that are needed in a modern hospital.� Kiwala explained that the announcement for Kingston Health Sciences Centre and Providence Care is part of over $175 million that is being invested by the Government of Ontario to upgrade 131 hospitals across the province this year through the Health Infrastructure Relief Fund. When broken down, Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KGH and HDH) will receive
$7,053,450 and Providence Care $2,927,346. In addition to the five HVAC units, the funding will be used to replace steam pressure release valves, isolation fans for the emergency department and heating and hot water systems for Douglas, Empire and Dietary wings at KGH; HDH will receive a new fire alarm system and the ramp at the back of the hospital; and Providence Care’s grant will go toward repairing the roof and exterior walls. “While HVAC units, heat exchangers, steam pressure release valves and the like won’t thrill everyone, I’m actually thrilled about it,� Kiwala said. “There is no doubt that it will improve the health and well being of our community members.�

South Frontenac marks completion of improvements at Point Memorial Park today — where else would you want to be but on a beautiful lake in the summer time down here at The Point?” MPP Hillier said. “It’s a pleasure to see good public dollars being spent in a good way that benefits everyone in the community.” Hillier said he would be mentioning how The Point Memorial Park was purchased in 1947 and entirely paid off by 1951 when he was next at Queen’s Park,

Myths, legends and artefacts BY MARGARET KNOTT
“Myths, legends and artefacts” was the title of the Wolfe Island Historical Society’s recent gathering held in conjunction with Lake Ontario Waterkeeper’s Kingston and Wolfe Islands Cultural Festival. A photo exhibit of artifacts recovered from island soil in the 1960s, many from Brophy’s point, was on display at the United Church Hall. The artifacts are held at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. The remainder are stored at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Waterkeeper’s Rebecca Harrison, welcomed everyone with a reminder that their vision “for a swimmable, drinkable, fishable Lake Ontario began on Wolfe Island,” and the festival theme is to celebrate the Great Lakes with story and song. Presenters were Wolfe Island residents Terri-Lynn Brennan, program co-ordinator for Kingston’s Community Engagement and Education Division of Cultural Services, and the WI Historical Society’s Brian MacDonald. “My ancestry, Indigenous, and my background, archaeologist and teacher, has provided me with the opportunities to learn about the ways and how people have moved across Turtle Island, North America, and what that looks like,” Brennan said. Her topic, as she described it, was about everything prior to European contact. “Indigenous history has been amassed over thousands and thousands of years. I would like to say we are situated on the lands of the Wyandotte, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee, perhaps better known to you as the Algonquin, Iroquois and Huron. It is just a matter of reclaiming the language. Instead of saying Algonquin, say Anishinaabe; instead of Huron, -Wyandotte; Iroquois, Haudenosaunee.” Holding up a hand-drawn map, colour-coded to identify what were actually the language groupings of the people who lived across North America (Turtle Island), she said there were seven main groupings. “People lived very happily for thousands of years. Yes, there were battles in times of natural living situations, drought for instance, and people moved. But what it does show is that people moved a lot. And people shared basic language. “Just as in English, we share a Latin route that came from Southern Europe; each of these seven is from certain dialects and each of these Indigenous languages have showed up. People who have lived from Yukon to Alberta , they actually share a language route with the Apache in the southwest. All of the Algonquin language is the green. For some coming from Manitoba, for instance, they might share a language with some-
one from Sudbury. But that speaks to the nature of all these fluidities of language and cultures that existed prior to European contact,” Brennan said. “For my ancestral language, which is Mohawk and very difficult to learn, I cannot have any conversation except Ojibwa.” From about 1000 BC to 1600 AD there was a continuous Indigenous culture with different styles of pot-
tery and stone work, burial goods, tradition and languages. Brophy’s Point fits in line with that and was a fishing village. There were differences between languages and cultures and people identified as huntergatherers, or agriculture. And this island was shared. All the islands were shared, she said. Much began changing at the time of European contact when 20 million Indigenous people lived across Canada based on the identified sites.
Today there are 1.4 million (selfidentified), according to Brennan. And after 300 years the Indigenous population looked nothing like it does today. Brennan reminded everyone that the WIHS would like to see the return of the artifacts to the island. “Part of why we are here is to talk about the life and existence of this particular space and collection out of sight, to us, and what can we

EDITORIAL A column about breasts I made sure to cut right to the chase with the above headline, as I know there are some out there who will want to stop reading right away. That’s OK – I totally respect that. But all this talk about female toplessness – the City of Cornwall revising its ‘toplessness policy’ for women, a pool in an Ontario town asking a woman to cover up, and the women’s topless run that happened right here in Kingston as a protest to these kinds of events – has got me thinking about boobs. Scratch that. I am always thinking about boobs these days, specifically my own. How could I not? I’ve been using them to feed another human for almost a year now, and since December 2015, they have been in a state of constant flux – growing, engorging, lactating, hooked up to a pump, in excruciating pain from blocked ducts, aching to be drained during long work days when it’s impossible to connect with my baby, shrinking back down and, most recently, being bitten by tiny teeth. Right now, my right breast is twice the size of my left, since the left completely stopped producing milk a little over a month ago.
There isn’t a bra in the world that fits me, and wearing a bathing suit or yoga top is awkward as hell. The things we go through for our children. I’m not sure if I’d still be nursing at this point if my baby, Everly, didn’t love my breasts so much. If she tolerated formula, or even breast milk from a bottle, it is likely we would have gradually made the transition starting at the six-month mark, when I returned to work and Steve started his parental leave. Instead, the last five months have seen a series of logistical challenges related to finding ways for Everly and me to meet during the day in order for her eat. She’s also had to learn to take water and, more recently, cow’s milk, from a cup. A regular cup, not a sippy cup – she refuses those, too. Yes, things get messy. People have a lot of opinions about other people’s breasts – in general, but especially as they pertain to feeding a baby. One of my good friends is due to have a baby in October and says she has no intention of breastfeeding. I told her I fully support her decision, but be prepared to take a lot of grief from doctors, nurses and other parents. I also find it funny that we live
in a society where everyone is just fine with the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, but certain types still kick up a fuss when they see a woman breastfeeding in public or a topless woman at a pool. Really, it’s basically the same amount of exposed boob. The only difference is the Sports Illustrated models’ breasts are fake. (Sorry, guys, I hate to burst your bubbles but no woman is naturally both as thin and as big-chested as the majority of models and Hollywood actresses out there.) One of my co-workers said he is against women being topless in public because of how all the hormonal, immature teenage boys will react. Ummm ‌ still not sure what they has to do with a woman’s decision to go topless. Maybe these boys need to grow up. I guess what I’m trying to say is, can we all just calm down over breasts? They’re sexy, I get it – but they’re also practical, nourishing and often both a literal and figurative pain (e.g. try going for a run in a sports bra that doesn’t give the proper support.) Half the world has them. They feed our young. They’re nothing to be afraid of. Really.

Myths, legends and artefacts Continued from page 7
Brian MacDonald presented a detailed story and updated information about Ardath, the Island’s “Old Castle," the origin of the “Old Survey” and land transactions around the development of Marysville, all supported with screen projected pictures taken at various times and a history of “the Castle” supposedly built by David Allen Grant for his wife, the Baroness de Longueuil, who died in 1806, but it was built in 1828, noting some dates don’t coincide with others. Most islanders have Ardath because it burned in 1925, maybe because of “kids smoking.” MacDonald was able to identify many of the people in the pictures, naming many of them …Going’s, Kingsley’s, etc., up to and including mystery writer Grant Allen, born 1848 who lived at Ardath, un-
til age 13, later to live in England. WIHS president Hank Connell assisted in the presentation. Wolfe Island’s Old House Museum is a place anyone interested in island history should visit. It’s walking distance from the ferry dock. Well worth a visit.

A casual conversation about a year ago led to a new career for Trisha Morris. She’s recently taken over ownership of Knit Traders on Gardiners Road. “Anne (Woodall, the former owner) jokingly said, ‘Some day if I can retire,’ and that snowballed into me buying the business a year later,” said Morris. Trisha Morris has worked as a chef for many years, as well as the community food adviser through the public health department in Kingston. She’s also spent a number of years in retail. For the past three years, Morris has been involved with Knit Traders of Kingston, first as a part-time sales associate, and for the last year as the shop manager. Now she’s the owner.
Morris brings her sense of community involvement to the shop, which already had a solid connection to the local community. For the past 20 years, Knit Traders has supported Project Linus. They take donated yarn and package it into blanket bundles and give it to knitters in the community who use it to create blankets, which they then bring back to the shop. The blankets are then distributed to local charities like children’s centres, seniors’ groups and homeless shelters. Another group the shop supports is the Get Well Gang, an organization that provides hats for cancer patients. “We have patterns we give out and people knit hats and bring them back for distribution.” This kind of community involvement was a significant reason for Morris to be excited about becoming the owner of Knit Traders of Kingston.

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 1, 2017 at 7:00 PM.

NOTICE OF PASSING ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
INTHE MATTER of section 34 of the Planning Act,TAKE NOTICETHAT the Council of the Corporation of theTownship of South Frontenac passed By-law 2017-39 on the 11th day of July, 2017. ANDTAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of theTownship of South Frontenac not later than the 17th day of August, 2016 (during regularTownship business hours), a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons for the objection. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OFTHE BY-LAW RE: New Provincial Government Policies Regarding Minimum Distance Separation: Following from newly-issued guidelines from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Council passed By-law 2017-39 amending the Comprehensive Zoning By-law to deal with residential development (and other non-agricultural development) on existing vacant lots near agricultural facilities (ie., barns).The new zoning permits development but requires the residence/building to be located away from the adjacent barn in an attempt to reduce possible nuisance issues resulting from odours from the farm operation - and it requires the owner to enter into a development agreement registered on the property title acknowledging that the farm operates adjacent to the property.The amendment also deals with setbacks for proposed new livestock facilities near rural cemeteries. In reaching its decision on the amendment, Council considered a comment from a member of the public who spoke in support of the by-law to protect the farming community. Council also considered that this is new required legislation from the province. A notice of appeal may not be filed by any unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of such an association or the group. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the Council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. Additional information relating to the Zoning By-law amendment is available for inspection at theTownship Municipal Office during normal working hours.

Morris explained that the shop, located at 725 Gardiners Rd., is the main knitting resource along the 401 between Montreal and Toronto. It’s been around for 21 years. One of the biggest changes Morris is implementing is the addition of an online store. She hopes to have it operational this autumn. In tune with her philosophy of keeping things as local as possible, Morris tries to source as much yarn as she can from local sources. “We carry everything from acrylic yarns for easy-care blankets to high-end alpaca products.” Morris said that everything fell into place for both her and Anne Woodall. “Anne has a really solid community base and a good community connection,” said Morris. “Knit Traders has been here for 21 years and with the solid base, it lets me play into my love of local and playing with colour.” A nice surprise when Trish Morris and I sat down to chat in Knit Traders last week was a background of jazz playing over the sound system. It’s a relaxing spot, and it’s easy to spend lots of time there. Over the winter I hope to fulfil one of my bucket list wishes: I’ve always wanted to learn to spin wool. Turns out that Knit Traders offers classes in spinning. They also sell spinning wheels. “We carry Lendrum spinning wheels,” said Morris. “They are sold worldwide but made nearby in Odessa. We have a really special link to an amazing manufacturer.” Recently, in order to expand their variety of spinning wheels, they’ve beCAPE COD & CHARLESTON & FESTIVAL OF come the dealer for Spinolution.

signers of the patterns still get paid, and we can print the pattern here. That has changed how yarn stores work. Even in the last three years that ability for people to be able to go online and then come in and ask for it here creates a whole new world.” I first went into the shop about ten years ago and was rather surprised at the size of the store, as well as the variety of items offered. You’ll also find everything from metal, bamboo and wooden knitting needles to locally-made yarn bowls, and, of course, a seemingly endless variety of yarns. I’ve been in many times since to buy supplies for family and friends who knit and sew. Sometimes there’ll be groups gathered there. Many classes and workshops are hosted on site. “We have two drop-in classes on Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. that have been running for more than 10 years,” said Morris. They host seasonal classes with guest instructors. This autumn, examples of classes include knitting socks, learning to thrum, learning to crochet, Fair Isle techniques, Swedish weaving, beginning spinning, embroidery workshops and felting workshops. Trish Morris sees the staff as the greatest asset of Knit Traders.

Bicycle Opera pedals unique and thought-provoking show to Kingston BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com
Where do our clothes come from and who made them? These are the questions being explored by the Bicycle Opera Project this summer in its production of Sweat and on July 28, they will be pedalling themselves and their show into Kingston. The unique opera company tours Ontario by bike each summer bringing opera to communities in smaller and more accessible venues and presenting new Canadian works that focus on current issues. "It is an amazing company and there is nothing else like it," said Stephanie Tritchew who is joining the company for a third season this year. "It is a beautiful company with a beautiful spirit and how often do you get to see the countryside of Ontario, spend time outside in the sun with friends and also be a part of an amazing performance? It is like summer camp and work combined." This summer, Tritchew plays the role of a union organizer in Sweat, a full-length, a cappella opera by Juliet Palmer and Anna Chatterton. In the production, nine voices bring audience members into the
heart of a contemporary sweatshop, offering a window into the lives of the workers who clothe us. "It is really special show and the first of its kind for the Bicycle Opera," explained Tritchew. "It is a very serious opera and the subject matter is unlike anything we have taken on. It is sad and sort of a harrowing truth and on top of that it is completely a cappella and that is a new thing for us, too. This is our first time touring without instruments and it is really amazing and totally new for us to tackle." This new venture is also a first for Kingston native Geoffrey Sirett who has worked with the Bicycle Opera Project for the past five years as a baritone. This year, Sirett has taken on the role of music conductor and will be seeing the show from a different perspective. "I haven't done anything like this before and the primary challenge was not working with an orchestra or piano," said Sirett. "It is challenging for me and the singers and they need to move from being soloists to being part of a group and at times they become the percussion section and emulate sounds of factory life and sometimes the chorus as well. It is vocally very taxing." While the show has been chal-

"It is really exciting and it is a piece we have all become very passionate about and it is one that sparks a lot of internal conflicts in terms of narratives within ourselves," he said. "Almost all of us are guilty of making perhaps ethically dubious purchases or pleading ignorance and the opera comments on that in a number of different ways and in my personal life it has challenged me on a whole other level in terms of the purchases I make now." The group hopes that by presenting these issues in this form they can bring more attention to them and Sirett also hopes that by presenting these ideas in an opera, they can also expose audience members to a different type of theatrical experience. "They will never see anything like it," he said. "There are only a handful of a cappella operas and they are so unique.
There is also no opera about this particular topic and opera in general is often rejected as elitist and about stories that are irrelevant and in languages that we don’t understand, but none of that is in this production." Sirett is also looking forward to bringing this unique experience to his hometown. "That makes it even more exciting and I am looking forward to that a lot," he said. "I encourage people to come out because this show is about a topic that is central to our way of life, it is a current issue and the music has a way of pulling us into the narrative and communicating in a way that our other forms of exposure to these issues have maybe lacked." The Bicycle Opera Company production of Sweat takes place on Friday, July 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. For more information and tickets visit bicycleopera.com.

Summer Knights continue Blue Canoe’s next production of their tenth anniversary Summer Knights season is Monty Python’s Spamalot. Their first, also about a Knight, Man of La Mancha, has just wrapped up. “The premise of the show is that King Arthur creates his Knights of the Round Table, and they go on a quest to find the Holy Grail,” said director Liam Bidmead. “The Grail isn’t one specific thing. It’s different for everybody. So the story kind of has that journey. And there are all these strange characters. The Monty Python crew created an interesting, funky, and twisted show.” Expect the silly. Expect the downright absurd. For a start, there’s the charge from God to find the Holy Grail. Whatever that may be. “Monty Python has a specific humour and audience, as opposed to standup or dark comedy. This is silly humour.”
Along the way, there are weird deaths. Strange places. Odd happenings. In the beginning, i.e., 1975, there was the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It took a few liberties with the Arthurian legend. Well, more than a few. But, hey, it’s a legend. Nothing wrong with a few liberties about something that takes its own liberties with reality. Then came the Broadway show in 2005. The Broadway production of Monty Python and the Holy Grail won the year’s Tony Award for Best Musical. More than two million people saw the show, which involved more than 1600 productions on the stage of the Shubert Theatre. How silly is the show? The script begins with a historian offering an overview of Medieval England. But there’s a miscue. The actors think the intro is about Finland. And so begins the absurdity. “Our production is simple and raw,” said Bidmead, who noted that he did not want to give too many spoilers about the show. “People will understand when they come and see the show. People might walk in thinking they’ll see the same show they’ve
seen several times. This will not be what they expect. Spamalot will not be like any production model people have seen before. We wanted to go a different direction.” Bidmead, a graduate of New York’s American Musical and Drama Academy (AMDA), moved to the Kingston region a couple of years ago after completing his program in NYC. He said he needed time away from big city life in order to recoup, but wanted to remain close to the theatre scene found in Toronto and Montreal. “Kingston’s a great community,” he said. “You have Queen’s students and a lot of artists living here. There’s a lot of opportunity. It good to keep oneself busy while maintaining my profession and craft. In this one city you have the Storefront Fringe Festival, Juvenis Festival, Kick & Push Festival, film festivals, and all the Queen’s theatre productions; there’s a lot going on. We’re very fortunate to have Blue Canoe.” Continued on page 20

For Zambonin, seeing the families work on and then receive their new homes is the best part of her job. “We help them become homeowners. That is what makes a difference in their lives and the lives of their children and that is the impact we will see here in the coming months,” she said.

The Anglican diocese of Ontario and Habitat for Humanity Kingston Limestone Region are coming together for a unique housing project in Kingston and on July 11, they kicked it off with a barbecue and block party. In January of 2016, it was announced that the Anglican Diocese of Ontario had donated their property on Cowdy Street, where the Church of the Good Shepherd currently sits, to the organization for the development of affordable housing. This fall, construction will begin on that project and CEO for Habitat for Humanity Kingston Limestone Region, Susan Zambonin is excited to see it all begin. “We are going to build three duplexes for six families on this land and we are also going to be building and having a greater impact on the community,” she said, explaining that a community centre will also be built on the property. Habitat ambassador and well known Kingstonian Peter Milliken was also on hand to celebrate the project; he expressed his thanks and support for the development. “I think it is a great opportunity to create homes for people in need in the area and provide space for people to live and make effective use of the space,” he said. “I am sorry to lose the church, but it is not lost, it will be here and it will live on.” The project is being called the Good Shepherd Legacy Project. For Bishop Michael Oulten and his congregation at the church, that legacy is very important. “I think that is a powerful name,” said Bishop Oulten. “I have heard many stories about this community and this place and legacy is not only about looking backward and giving thanks for what has been, legacy also provides us a moment to stand at a crossroads and consider the future that lies ahead.” Two families have already been chosen as recipients for the new properties and they were in attendance at the barbecue to express their thanks and excitement. “We are shocked that we
were chosen,” said Virginia Lovelace who will move into one of the homes with her husband and two sons. “We are so excited and eager to get started on the house.” Lovelace applied to Habitat for Humanity after her father-in-law suggested it. After a series of applications and interviews, her family was chosen. They were then given the option of whether they wanted to live in Napanee or Kingston. “We chose Kingston because we felt it was a better fit for us and a great place to live,” she said. “We are so blessed and thankful.” As a recipient of a Habitat home, families put in 500 hours of sweat equity before purchasing the home through a no-interest, no down payment mortgage that is geared

Last summer, Bidmead worked on Blue Canoe’s The Heathers during the inaugural Juvenis Festival. Spamalot will be his first directing role in the city. He hasn’t worked with many of the actors in Spamalot, and he likes that ability to be fresh. “I don’t know the actors on a personal basis, so it’s amazing to see their progress as the show develops, and the organic choices they make.” Blue Canoe’s production of Monty Python’s Spamalot features a small cast. “It should be interesting,” said Bidmead. “The show has been done with 20 people, and we’re doing it with 11.” “Everyone should come to this show,” he added. “It reaches all audiences. The Monty Python fans will like it, so will those in their 30s, 40s and 50s, as well as the younger crowd. It’s a young-hearted show.” Monty Python’s Spamalot runs August 2 through August 12 at the Domino Theatre. Tickets are available from the Grand Theatre Box Office or online at kingstongrand.com. They are also available at the door.

RENOVATIONS
Preserving time provided the right ingredients for good memories
Just walking past the kitchen door from the outside, you could tell what was going on inside by the sweet smells coming out through the screen. It was preserving time again. It was a sweet smell, and I thought the best place for me to be was out in the swing in the grape arbour. It wasn’t that I didn’t like what was happening in the kitchen, it was because preserving time made the place unbearably hot from the steam coming from the boiling pots on the stove. That day, raspberries were being ‘put down’. We had picked them from deep in the bush, where we went every summer with the cream cans on the stone boat. And they sat in the summer kitchen overnight, and now they were ready to preserve. The berries simmered gently towards the back of the Findlay Oval, and right on the front burner Mother had sealers of every shape and size boiling in the biggest granite pot we owned. The fire had been started by Father before he headed for the barns,
and you could feel the heat from every corner of the kitchen. It didn’t take me long to eat my breakfast and head outside. My poor sister Audrey wasn’t so lucky. She was in the stifling kitchen measuring out sugar, making sure there were lids to match the sealers in the boiling pot, and setting out cookie sheets which would hold the bottled preserves until they were ready to move to the swinging shelf in the cellar. I had watched the preserving many times, but always from a distance. Mother was too busy with the job at hand to tell me what chores she wanted done that day, and I was well aware that she and Audrey would be stuck in the steaming kitchen until every last berry was sealed in the jars. Some jars were what I called ‘store bought’, while others had once held pickles or relishes, or even berries put down the year before. I had everything timed perfectly. I could hear, from the opened window looking out into the grape arbour, that Audrey was lifting the jars out of the boiling water and putting them on the cookie sheets. And I knew everything would be in the final stages of preserving, and it would be safe to go into the kitchen again. It amazed me how quickly the steam disappeared once the boiling stopped, and the breeze from
the open window and screen door cooled everything down. Of course, it was still very early in the morning, and the sun was yet to move high into the sky. Soon it would be stifling hot outside, and putting down preserves was well planned to avoid as much as possible the heat of the day. When I peeked in the door, I could see my sister ladling the berries from the big pot into the jars on the kitchen table. And then I saw Mother, with a long fork, pick the lids from the steaming water, and gingerly seal each jar tight. Of course, it was impossible to hit the jar dead on each time, and there was always a bit of preserves running down the outside of a sealer. And so each one had to wiped clean with a wet string dishcloth. And I marveled how Audrey or Mother could handle those hot jars as if they had been cooled in the icebox! There were always some of the boiled berries that were not put in sealers, because Father would be expecting a fruit nappy for his dinner just a few hours away. The jars were allowed to cool completely before Audrey moved them to the cellar. There they would join whatever preserves left over from last year, and the pickles and relishes already ‘done down’ earlier. It took a long time for the sweet smell to leave the kitchen. The Findlay Oval would be allowed to cool down completely after
dinner at noon hour, a meal, which would come right out of the oven, since the top of the stove was taken over by the boiling berries and jars. Preserving didn’t mean Father wouldn’t be having his usual big dinner when he came in from the barns. No siree...meat, potatoes and lots of vegetables...that’s what he expected, and that’s what he got! Sometime during the day I would go down into the cellar through the outside door, and marvel at what was before me. And I knew if there was nothing else to eat during the coming winter, there would be lots of preserves, pickles and relishes to keep us from starving. The thought warmed me right through.

Baby Driver a fast slick movie, worth going back for My Take MARK HASKINS
MOVIE: Baby Driver STARRING: Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey DIRECTOR: Edgar Wright RATING: 14A It's hard to see every movie. Occasionally I miss one I really wanted to see which was the case with Baby Driver. Fortunately the movie gods smiled down on me, and a window of opportunity opened up. Baby (Ansel Elgort) is a maestro behind
the wheel. No one is faster, more cunning, or cooler under pressure. An accident when he was younger damaged his hearing so he constantly listens to music to drown out the ringing. It's what gives him his incredible focus. A bad choice when he was a little older put him in debt to a crime lord called Doc (Kevin Spacey). So now Baby is Doc's go to when he needs a getaway driver. Just when Baby thought his debt was paid and he was free of Doc, he learns he's never going to be free. Doc isn't going to let the best getaway driver he's ever seen just leave. Doc has put together a new crew with Buddy (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eiza Gonzalez) and Bats (Jamie Foxx), and he needs his driver. Driving psychopaths while being chased by the police is the last thing Baby wants. He's met a girl, Debora (Lily James), and he's got plans for a future. Unfortunately walking away isn't an option.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, July 27, 2017
Baby Driver is a beautifully put together film. Every element of the film fits together seamlessly with a daring sense of style. The opening scene with Baby walking, bobbing, weaving and dancing his way through the streets says it all. There's no cuts, no edits, it's just one continuous shot. It's one of the smoothest and slickest scenes I've seen in a long time, and the whole film is like that. The driving stunts will drop your jaw without ignoring the laws of physics. The dialogue is smart and quick with an impressive economy of words. There's nothing extra and nothing wasted in each line, shot and frame of the film. Jamie Foxx definitely has his dark side. Bats is a scary individual, and Foxx dives in head first. Not to be outdone Jon Hamm and Eiza Gonzalez play their own breed of psychopath. As a loving couple they seem nice enough for armed bank robbers. Then a switch gets thrown, and they're scarier
than Bats. These are nasty people, but they are also quick and there's a rhythm to what they do. Doc is the mastermind. Doc has the kind of confidence that comes from having the ability and capability of having peopled killed and dismembered if he chooses. He runs the show and Kevin Spacey owns every inch of it. Ansle Elgort gives a breakout performance. In a movie that's about style and being cool, filled with stylish and cool individuals, Elgort manages to be the coolest and most stylish. An impressive feat given the rest of the cast. Baby Driver is fast, slick and worth going back for. Mark Haskins' column is a regular feature in this newspaper.

Do your homework when looking to buy a new vehicle A public spat on a social media site recently got my attention because it dealt with an automotive issue that crops up from time to time and often with less than stellar results on the customer satisfaction front. It seems that a gentleman took issue with a new vehicle retailer and the manufacturer involved because they refused to take back a recently purchased auto when the family member that bought it passed away only weeks after taking delivery. He posted a rant on the retailers Facebook page indicating in his opinion that both the retailer and carmaker were more interested in profits than their customers. He was also insulted by the dollar amount that the dealer initially (and allegedly) offered stating it was thousands less than what his family member paid originally. I’ve run into this type of scenario more than once in my years of both working the industry and writing about it. Previous situations usually involved seniors buying or leasing a vehicle and then either becoming unable to drive due to implications from aging or they involved family members trying to settle estates after a loved one’s passing. New auto vehicles and lease agreements are unique in the consumer product world compared to many things we buy and use every day. First, when a new vehicle is purchased, its sale involves a number of legal documents and conditions and
many levels of government regulations. Once a new vehicle is reported sold to the carmaker, licensed, paid for, and driven off the lot, it can’t, by law be resold again as a new vehicle. This leaves the dealer with the choice of refusing the buyback request or taking it and selling it as a used vehicle. In these days of extremely aggressive carmaker incentives it’s very difficult to sell even a lightly-used pre-owned vehicle for an appropriate price when an identical new one sitting beside it comes with massive and attractive rebates or low finance-rate options. And remember, once a new vehicle is reported as sold to the carmaker, its warranty clock starts ticking. This means it won’t be sold again with the benefit of the full terms of that guarantee. The second major kink is the finance or loan contract involved with a vehicle purchase. Like mortgages and other consumer loans, the lender builds a profit margin into their interest rates and unless the agreement has an early-exit clause (which, if in place comes with a fee), the lender (who in most cases has no connection to either the retailer or carmaker) has good legal grounds to expect that their contracts will be honoured completely including all the interest owed. The same can be said for lease agreements. Many people mistakenly believe that auto retailers make substantial profits on every vehicle they sell and can easily afford to ‘swallow’ an occasional loss when tragedies occur to their customers. With razor thin margins and the proliferation of extremely competitive price advertising, annual returns for many small and mid-sized dealerships are often less than what their owners could have achieved with run of the mill financial institution investment sav-
