Community comes together to support Battersea family after fatal motor vehicle accident By Cris Vilela

In the aftermath of the fatal motor vehicle accident on Battersea Road that occurred July 27, several community groups are rallying together to support the victims, the Trautrimas family of Battersea, as they grieve the loss of Brenda Trautrimas and her son Owen, six. Son Ayden, seven, was taken to hospital in critical condition after the family’s van was involved in a head-on collision with a pick-up truck. One of the groups helping out is Change for Families in Need (Change for FIN). Dorothy Evans, one of the group’s founders, is close to the family and spearheaded the effort. “I’ve known the family for four or five years. Our children were at nursery school together,” she recalls. Change for Families in Need is a fairly new grassroots non-profit in Kingston. “Our focus has been specifically for children who have been abused or exposed to violence, but our executive recognized that this [accident] is still a trauma and this is a family in need.” The group decided they would raise money to support the family, and built a number of partnerships with corporations within the community. “It was an easy fit, knowing that we already [Above] Battersea Road was closed on the evening of Wednesday, July 27 after the fatal motor have this great community and network supvehicle collision.

Kingston, who are looking at how they can help and hoping to partner with us to do a fundraiser within a couple of months.” As of press time, Ayden was still in critical condition. Evans notes that Michael Trautrimas, Ayden’s father, has nothing but praise for the staff at CHEO, where Ayden is receiving treatment. “What happens all too often in a tragedy like this is there’s a big community outcry at the beginning, but then in a few months everyone will have forgotten about the family,” Evans continues. “But for us, we’re looking at the long term. This won’t be something that we’re stopping next week. We’ll be continuing to support this family as long as they need support.” As of Friday morning, the group had raised close to $3,000, with donations continuing to come in. “We are amazed at how much the community has rallied behind this. It has been a privilege to be a part of that, and that privilege has not been lost on us,” Evans says. Members of the Trautrimas family have said that they are grateful for the support that Change for FIN is raising, and for the fact that the organization acted so quickly. Evans notes that the family is also encouraged knowing how many people are sending their prayers and thoughts. Anyone wishing to make a donation or assist in fundraising is encouraged to visit http:/ changeforﬁn.com/news/ for more information.

Ed Gerhard: Segovia, the blues, and British folk rolled into one virtuoso package By Craig Bakay

News — Casual music listeners probably don’t know the name Ed Gerhard. But guitar players do, among them people like Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna) and David Crosby (who reputedly has one of the most impressive guitar collections around). Breedlove Guitars’ Ed Gerhard Sig-

nature Model is one of their best sellers and they also released a Weissenbornstyle model (an acoustic lap slide guitar with a hollow neck) that undoubtedly was inﬂuenced by Gerhard’s skill. Need more? How about associations with with Arlo Guthrie and ﬁlmmaker Ken Burns (Gerhard can be heard on both Burns’ Mark Twain and The National Parks: America’s Best Idea). Oh, he has a Grammy too.

Got the picture? This guy is a guitarist’s guitarist, both as a solo artist and a sideman. One of Gerhard’s signature tunes is Killing The Blues, which he plays on the Weissenborn. Blues purists like the version as it features a very respectful and economical approach (“a good guitarist only uses as many notes as he needs”), but Gerhard’s version also contains hints of British acoustic ﬂa-

vour, which sort of sums ups Gerhard’s style — a style born of years of influences, experimentation and just plain playing. “The first guitarist that moved me was Segovia,” he said while relaxing in front of a cabin before his scheduled performance at this year’s Canadian Guitar Festival at South Frontenac’s Loughborough Lake Park. “It was the first time I’d heard guitar played alone and Segovia had such a harmonious tone.” At 14, he got his first guitar. That was in Abington, Pennsylvania, which is on Philadelphia’s northern fringe. “I didn’t know how to play so I started taking lessons once a week at the guitar store,” he said. “That didn’t take.” But one day, a guy across the street, a college student home on summer vacation, opened a whole Ed Gerhard performing at the 2016 Canadian Guitar Festival. His cover new world up for of Strawberry Fields Forever garnered a huge audience response. Pho- Gerhard. “He was playto/Craig Bakay

ing Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie McTell,” Gerhard recalls. “There was a simplicity to it that I loved and so I asked for some lessons.” He was hooked on the blues at that point. “For a 17-year-old white suburban kid, this was all new adventure,” he said. “The songs were about people I never knew existed and the conversational aspect really drew me in. “There were a lot of songs about a guy named Willie taking his girlfriend down to the river and killing her with a stick.” Armed with a solid foundation in folky blues, Gerhard moved to New Hampshire in 1977, where there was a thriving folk music scene. “There were lots of places to play and you could play whatever you wanted — as long as they were selling lots of booze,” he said with a laugh. About that time, he started experimenting with various open tunings. He was also exposed to the music of UK acoustic legends John Martyn, Bert Jansch, and John Renbourn. Renbourn in particular become something of a mentor for him. Although Gerhard was once known for his dizzying array of open tunings, these days he says he’s cut down on them. “But I still play what I want,” he said. And audience members at the CGF were very glad he does.

Interesting fish stories told at Sharbot Lake Property Owners Association AGM News — Over the years, the Sharbot Lake Property Owners Association Annual General Meeting has distinguished itself as arguably having the best guest speakers. And this year was no exception. Although Mayor Frances Smith, in a Parham Fair T-shirt, did cover a lot of topics and handled some veiled criticism quite deftly, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authorities Caleb Yee was clearly the crowd favourite with his insights into several species of gamefish found in Sharbot Lake. Yee covered the life cycle of pike, pickerel, bass and lake trout, offering several interesting insights along the way. “There was probably never a huge population of lake trout in Sharbot Lake — that’s why they’re rare,” he said. “Lake trout require exacting conditions of water temperature and oxygen content. “And they’ve been heavily fished over the years.” Interestingly, lake trout fry are probably going to be found deeper than the adult fish, he said, as they have different oxygen requirements. Lake trout

are limited to deep lakes with low nutrient status. He also had some interesting things to say about smallmouth bass. “Smallmouths prefer cooler water and will move to deeper locations in the heat of the summer,” he said. “And between 60-90 per cent of their diet is crayfish.” He said this is contrast to pike, who also prefer cooler water but will establish a territory and stay in it if there is sufficient food available there for them. “And pike will eat anything they can engulf,” he said. There wasn’t much technical business to be done at this year’s AGM as the executive is elected for a twoyear term and this wasn’t an election year. However, Robert Patten was acclaimed as member at large, replacing Ralph Pentland. There were updates on the Shoreline Naturalization program and loon counts. As of 2016, seven properties have been naturalized with one more planned. As for loons, 16 adults and three young were reported in the East Basin. In the West Basin, the count was 10 adults and four young. In Elbow Lake,

two adults but no young were reported. The lack of young could be attributed to large water snakes in the area. President Kevin Browne reported that they have applied for a walleye

spawning habitat grant for two potential locations. Browne said that there are about 590 cottages on the lake but only 209 paid members of the association.

Browne reached out to residents of Sharbot Lake who are not on the water to join. “You don’t have to live on the lake to be a member,” he said.

VACATIONING IN SOUTH FRONTENAC? Nothing can compare to a week at the lake and in South Frontenac we have an abundance of clear lakes, beautiful trails and great cycling. The one thing that can dampen your vacation is the unsightly mess of a can or plastic bag floating by or the sounds of wildlife munching happily on garbage that was not properly disposed of. We hope you enjoy your stay but ask that you please regard our Garbage and Recycling policies. Dumping garbage at the side of the road or at the gates of a landfill on a Sunday night is not only unacceptable, it creates a huge problem for Township staff when their time could be better spent elsewhere. Whether you are a cottage owner, renter or day tripper, please become familiar with collection dates and locations. By all means, take your memories with you but please don’t leave your garbage behind! Any questions; contact Solid Waste Management at 613 376-3027 X 4330

Storrington soccer players have a ball at annual tournament

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – It was a hot and humid weekend, but that didn’t stop soccer players in South Frontenac; nearly 500 players, from ages four to 16, gathered at Gerald Ball Memorial Field from July 22 to 24 for the annual Storrington Minor Soccer Club tournament. “This tournament started about 12 years ago,” explained organizer Kevin Fox. “It started as a way to give the kids a final end of the year event to play in and over the years we’ve grown from hosting 120 kids to almost 500.” The event, just like the club itself, is all about fun and players from the 40 teams within the league are invited to come out and challenge each other. “All teams are guaranteed at least two games,” said Fox. “It is competitive, but I think it is more about fun than competition for these kids.” The Storrington Minor Soccer Club started in 1997 and now, in 2016, the club is celebrating its 20th season in South Frontenac. Fox has been around since it all began and

he loves seeing kids grow throughout the years, but he also likes how laid back and fun the club is. “The thing that makes it worthwhile is that there are no rep teams here and we focus solely on house league,” he said. We try to get coaches who can teach the basics and really show kids that soccer can be fun.” Fox, along with the rest of the

volunteer organizers who run the club, have also worked to keep costs low for parents and kids participating in the league. “That has always been important to us and luckily we have some generous sponsors who help us out.” This year the club had 40 different sponsors to help with the team t-shirts and registration fees and the club also received donations to help

raise funds for next year. “We received a generous donation from Metro this year; they gave us all sorts of product to sell in our canteen and all of that money goes back to the club,” said Fox. “In the past 20 years, we’ve helped about 175 kids with those funds and these are kids that couldn’t have played otherwise.” Community support is a big part

of the tournament and Fox loves seeing all the teams and community members come together year after year. “It is so much fun for these kids and that makes all of the panning worth it,” he said. “I think all the kids look forward to it during the season and most of them are here having fun and that is what’s most important.”

New owner of Sharbot Lake Residence introduced at meet and greet By Craig Bakay

News — For Andrew Kovacs, the choice was simple — corporate finance in Toronto living in the Beaches area, or running a retirement residence on the beaches of Sharbot Lake. No contest. “My daughter was driving through Sharbot Lake one day and saw the Lake District Realty sign on the Sharbot Lake Retirement Residence,” he said. Kovacs, a Certified Public Accountant by trade, was the guest of honor last week as Robinson Asset Management held a meet and greet on the patio to introduce Kovacs. He was introduced by Alison Robinson, who noted that Kovacs’ parents emigrated to Canada in the ’50s and met here — his father from Hungary in 1957 and his mother from Germany in 1954. Kovacs said The Sharbot Lake Residence will have a “soft opening”

sometime in the next three to four weeks in the completely revamped structure that Dr. Peter Bell began 25 years ago on Road 38. There were 24 residents’ rooms originally but Kovacs said he’s cut that down to 20, to allow for double occupancy “deluxe” suites. “We’re using a semi-independent, semi-assisted living model,” he said. “Everything will be included such as meals, parking and assistance with medications if they come in the blister packs from the Sharbot Lake Pharmacy.” Residents can choose to have their meals in the newly renovated dining room or have tray service to their doors. He said there have been many upgrades, including a planned elevator and sliding entry doors. “I’ve looked at the competition and they offer rooms anywhere from

Alarming weather challenges farmers Aric McBay

Out Standing in our Field

Column - This is been a record-breaking year for farmers, and not in a good way. Globally, the past year has been the hottest year ever recorded. Indeed, each month on Earth has been hotter than the last; June was the fourteenth

consecutive record-breaking month. The data from July isn’t available yet, but we have every reason to expect it will continue the trend. In Ontario we’ve seen record-breaking drought. Several parts of Ontario, including Kingston and areas east of it, saw their lowest precipitation ever recorded for April through June. And things did not improve in July.

as they walk to the very back of the farm to reach pasture which hasn’t been grazed yet. You can see worry in the faces of farmers. Plants are stressed, farmers are stressed. This R0012783232 summer I’ve found myself thinking about Air Conditioning the Dust Bowl on many a hot afternoon. Our vegetable gardens—irrigated to & Heating the maximum capacity of our water system—look green compared to the pastures. Our vegetable yields are good, considering. That’s in large part because my partner Emily is such a careful planner, and because our staff are so hard working. Still, this weather is only a glimpse of the climate change to come. The hot, dry weather is shocking a contrast to February 16 of this year, which social media dubbed “snowmageddon”. On that day we saw record-breaking snowfall in parts of Eastern Ontario. Ottawa received nearly half a metre, smashing the single-day record set in 1947.

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Taxes on fuels have very little to do with saving the environment

Column — It wasn’t that long ago that Ontario raised taxes on gasoline and fuels we use to keep our houses livable in winter months. By many accounts, it certainly looks like the federal government is poised to follow suit with similar tax hikes sometime in the fall. Now, they’ll likely claim some lofty goal in this (and by lofty we mean pompous as all get-out) like saving the planet and all that — carbon tax and all that. Now, of course we know that unless Canada in general and Ontario in particular raise taxes on various types of fossil fuels, the Earth is going to burn into a cinder in 12.1137 years. So, it’s something we have to do, right? Well, if there’s anything a journalist learns over the course of a career, it’s that everybody has two reasons for doing (saying) something — the reason that sounds good and the real

reason. Given that raising the price of heating oil/natural gas/propane is going to force a signiﬁcant part of the population to be cold (i.e. those that are just scraping by but can still survive by keeping the thermostat lower than they did last winter) and another fairly large group who are going to have to choose between eating and being warmer, you have to ask yourself, why are our ‘leaders’ raising these taxes that will have dire consequences for many of the people they (the ‘leaders’) are supposed to be looking out for. Now none of us can actually know what’s going on in another’s mind but we can speculate and come up with some potential ‘real’ reasons our premier and prime minister are jacking up the prices on things to the detriment of that segment of society that can least afford to absorb the increases. - They’re evil. (OK, probably not, maybe just a little, some more than others. But in the interests of completeness we should at least pay lip service to the possibility of demonic possession.) - They’re suffering some sort of psychiatric disorder

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

- They’re under mind control from aliens (probably not the prime minister but the premier . . .) - They just don’t get it. Or, in other words, they’re simply not the sharpest tool in the drawer. - Personal greed. Now we’re not actually accusing anybody of dipping into the till but it wouldn’t be the ﬁrst time a politician lined their own pockets (or a friend or relative’s) at taxpayers’ expense. - Power corrupts and it’s fun to spend other people’s money. We may have something with this one. Even at the municipal level, people seem to enjoy spending money that isn’t theirs, especially if there’s some cockamamie pet project they want to get going in the name of the public good. But sometimes it’s just for the sake of spending somebody else’s money and it can get addictive. It’s probably just that simple. Even though they’ll still have to pay more in taxes, a few bucks more a month won’t cause the slightest ripple in Justin Trudeau’s or Kathleen Wynne’s ﬁnances. Sadly, there are plenty of people for whom it’s going to be a heavy burden.

Does anyone care about the Olympics anymore? Editorial -The 2016 summer Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil are just around the corner. Normally, there would be a signiﬁcant amount of excitement building as the games approach, but this time around it seems that many people couldn’t care less. This lack luster attitude towards the games has us wondering, do people still care about the Olympics? In Canada, some of this indifference is most likely due to the fact that we, as a country, aren’t the greatest at summer sports. Canadians generally perform much better in the winter games and in 2012’s London Olympics we only received 18 medals overall. But even with lower potential for medals, there was still a lot of excitement surrounding past summer games. It is true that over the course of history the Olympic games have seen a lot of controversy; everything from doping, human rights issues, and inadequate or unﬁnished facilities. But everything always seems to work out in the end. This year, however, all of these issues seem to be casting a dark cloud over the Olympics. Many athletes are worried about the Zika virus and therefore not competing, some are worried about the water quality in Rio and of course there are the ongoing issues surrounding doping and whether or not certain countries should be allowed to compete. Normally, all of this would magically work itself out just before the opening ceremonies and everyone would be happy, but we’re not so sure that will be the case this year. On top of all the health issues that may or may not impact the athletes, there is inevitably concern about the infrastructure in Rio and this seems to be the most common hurdle the Olympics face each time around. Many countries are even reconsidering hosting the games because of the costs associated with infrastructure and the Olympics are suffering as a result. To address these issues, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has rallied to work on ways to cut costs for bidding countries, ways to bring more global recognition to the event and ways to address human rights concerns, but all of this will be slow to implement. The question is, will it be enough or could this ancient tradition be in jeopardy? Only time will tell – and of course television ratings.

Procter sisters brave the rough waters of Sharbot Lake for eighth consecutive fundraiser By Craig Bakay

News — The Procter girls, Theresa, Rebecca and Katie (Ansley), were at it again last week swimming Sharbot Lake from the Provincial Park to Oso Beach to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. It’s a three kilometre journey, which usually takes about an hour and a half. Last year, with the lake at its calmest, they made it in 1 hour, 25 minutes. This year, their eighth doing this, there was a chop and some wind, making it one of the longest swims at an hour and 40 minutes. “It was rough and choppy and the wind kept blowing us toward the island,” said Katie. “And my five-year-old wanted to join us at the beginning so she was a bit of an anchor. “But we told her there was a weedy part

coming up so she got back in the boat.” But, she said, they do some training for the event and were prepared to go in just about any kind of weather. “My sisters managed to keep up with me,” she joked. There was one other thing that may have slowed them down a bit this year — their first encounter with a big, black snake. “We screamed and it swam between us,” she said. “We had a couple of loons with us one year and we’ve seen all sorts of birds and fish but this was the first snake.” She said they plan to keep the tradition up “as long as we’re still raising money” but a lot of it will be up to Theresa. “Becky and I get the sponsors but Theresa does all the organizing like getting permission from the Township,” she said.

“We would like to do it at least one more year,” Theresa said. “We’re all spread out but it’s nice to come home and be on the lake. “Becki’s probably the most hesitant, but the Cancer Society has been very supportive, as has the Township. “Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald came out to greet us when we arrived at the beach.” She said they’re also appreciative of their support boats, which include their parents, Mike and Wendy Procter, Norm and Anita Landry (Norm’s been with them since the first swim) and Lloyd Whan. To date, the girls have raised more than $13,000 and so far this year have reached 84 per cent of their goal with some cash donations yet to be counted so they’re hoping to hit the $15,000 mark. “Last year, we had one donation of $3,000,” Katie said. If you’d like to donate, you can do so at the Canadian Cancer Society’s Convio website http://convio. cancer.ca/goto/hopeswim2016 .

Alarming weather challenges farmers Continued from page 7

We had it, too; on our farm, the sudden wet snowfall crushed our only greenhouse, snapping strong metal ribs into pieces. The engineers who designed our greenhouse did not anticipate the rapid onset of climate change, did not anticipate the many ways farming is being forced to change. My family drove 12 hours to come and help us rebuild. We replaced the greenhouse frame with something twice as strong. We were fortunate to have family support, to be able to afford to replace that infrastructure. Around the world, most people

Local fields are extremely dry due to lack of rain.

are not so lucky. It’s the inequality of climate change; we in the wealthiest parts of the world, who release the most greenhouse gases, are also best able to adapt. The small farmers and peasants who produce most of the world’s food, on the other hand, have the fewest material resources to cope with global warming. And the problem of global warming is not limited to rural areas. Sea level at New York City has already increased by a full foot versus a century ago. Sea level there is expected to increase another foot in the next fifteen years, along with higher storm surges and more intense hurricanes. Too often, climate change is framed as something gradual that our grandchildren will have to worry about. This attitude is not just a simple misconception, but also the result of ongoing PR campaigns. It was recently revealed that the oil and gas industry has known about climate change for nearly 50 years. But—much like the tobacco industry did in the 1970s—they’ve funded groups to deny or cast doubt on the reality of climate change. These well-funded groups have laid siege to climate scientists, inducing many climate scientists to release only conservative models, predicting smaller amounts of climate change to avoid charges of “alarmism.” But we should be alarmed; we are well on course for the future that climate reports a decade ago called

“the worst case scenario.” The problem—as we have seen this year—is not just the increase in degrees, but the increase in extremes. A year that can crush our greenhouse with record snowfall, and then give us record drought six months later. It’s easy to see why

some people prefer the term “climate chaos” over the more mundane “climate change”. In any case, it’s just the beginning. But it’s the time to act. Changes now can still make a difference. It’s certainly good to support sustainable farms and local infra-

Lessons learned from the Fort McMurray fire Jeff Scott THE COUNTRYSIDE VIEW

Growing up in the woods of North Western Ontario, I was keenly aware of potential forest fires. On hot August days the wind would bring the smell of distant, or not so distant, forest fires. I would regularly scan the horizons looking for

the tell-tale signs of smoke, thinking of escape routes. The boreal forest is quite different from my maple-filled property in Glenburnie. There are towering spruce, shapely pine, and scented balsam interspersed with white

birch and tinkling-leaved poplars. A forest that is quite pleasant to live beside, but a forest that is also a ticking time bomb. When the weather turns hot and dry a single spark can create a fire storm such as the one that caused so much damage in Fort McMurray. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beastâ&#x20AC;?, as this fire was named, burned right into the city, destroying 2,400 homes and costing $3.58 billion in damage. Cities and towns in the boreal forest develop around resources such as mining, forestry or oil sands. The new jobs attract people from rainy coastal towns, prairie cities, farms or major urban areas even foreign countries where there is little knowledge about the boreal forest and even less of the dangers. It did not surprise me when I heard people saying that the forest should be complely cut down around these cities to avoid another Fort McMurray fire. Fortunately, it is unnecessary to hack down all the trees that make a city in the forest beautiful just to make it safe from forest fires. The boreal forest behaves differently from our deciduous forest. The trees produce large quantities of branches and dead twigs, which

his

PicktRLOcechsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s@ !

do not quickly decompose. They accumulate, and then one day a bolt of lightning sets the whole thing on fire. This is necessary for the regeneration of the forest since cones open in the heat and seeds fall in fertile ash to start a new forest. These forest fires can occur about every decade, yet they do not burn down all the trees. They often clear out dead trees and saplings, leaving a more open forest of tall spruce trees with no lower branches. Unfortunately, foresters have stopped all forest fires around forest cities. Consequently the amount of burnable material in the forest builds up so that when a forest fire does occur it becomes a beast that burns everything. To avoid this, foresters need to go into the forest and do what a small fire would do; that is to remove dead trees, clear out underbrush and prune up trees. This is what they do around the towns of Jasper and Banff, which are House construction in the boreal forest needs to be done differently to avoid having the towns burn down. Although building with wood framing would be the same as in the rest of the country, the exterior material needs to be different. Continued on page 13

Lessons learned from the Fort If this is McMurray fire your idea

Continued from page 12

Vinyl siding and asphalt shingle are oil-based and are highly flamable. Once they catch fire, they burn with incredible intensity, and and if a fire truck cannot get near it spreads to the neighbouring buildings. Noncombustible materials such as aluminum siding and brick for the exterior walls and metal or tile for the roofs is what is required. They don’t burn and they deflect flying embers that would set the other materials alight. Practices in backyards need to be changed as well. Stacks of firewood and garden sheds are great spots for burning embers to rest, and the resulting spot fires are impossible for fire crews to deal with. Keeping

yards clear of combustible material is essential to keeping fires from spreading, and this should be made a city policy. The layout of northern cities needs to be different, too. Instead of having the hospitals, arenas and ball parks in the middle of the city, they need to be located on the outside of town. These have extensive lawns and parking lots, which create a natural fire break. Golf courses, walkways and roads also have the same effect. Cities in the boreal forest are beautiful in their natural forest settings, and they can be made safe from forest fires through thoughtful planning, construction, and living practices.

The third annual ball hockey tournament in support of the Kingston Boys and Girls Club was held in the Metro parking lot at Princess and Barrie Streets on Saturday, July 23. This year’s tournament was hosted by local NHL star Taylor Hall, who currently plays for the New Jersey Devils. The annual event raises money by charging teams $500 each to play alongside well know hockey players from the NHL, OHL, women’s national team and college and university leagues. Local kids get to meet their favourite stars and get pictures and autographs between games. This year Taylor Hall was joined by Connor McDavid, Darnell Nurse, Luke Gazdic, Natalie Spooner, Genevieve Lacasse, John Tripp, Roland Mckeown, Lawson Crouse, Ryan Verbeek and many others.

80-year-old Holleford athlete retires after competing in K-town Triathlon since 1984 By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Last weekend, athletes gathered in Kingston for the 32nd annual K-town

Triathlon. Typically, this group would include Holleford resident, Dr. Robert McCaldon, but this year, at the age of 80, McCaldon decided to retire from the event. “I think that the ‘little engine that could’

should be modified a bit and include that you need to know your own limitations,” he explained. “It is a balance and my body is telling me, at 80, don’t do it. I want to keep being active and I can run, cycle and

swim, but I don’t need to compete.” McCaldon participated in his first Kingston triathlon in 1984, the year the event was established in the city. At the time he was 48 years old and loved being

active and competing, a trait he believes he inherited from his own father. Continued on page 17

80-year-old Holleford athlete retires after competing in K-town Triathlon since 1984 “My father was always active, he didn’t play competitive sports, but he was a very active person and he pumped iron a lot,” he said. “I kept up the tradition more or less and I have been active my whole life.” The need for an active lifestyle became more important to McCaldon after he attended school to become a psychiatrist. He learned that physical activity was important to overall health and he brought those teachings with him when he moved to the Kingston area in 1964 as a psychiatric resident. After his residency, McCaldon ran a private practice in Kingston for a number of years before moving his office out to Harrowsmith where he also began focusing on Holistic Medicine. “I always enjoyed advising patients and helping them work on their own health,” he said. “My wife and I would train for triathlons in our down time and I even had a running group I would train with and we’d run from Holleford to the Kingston YMCA and then go to work for the day. It seems crazy now, but we were young and foolish.” Over the past 30 years, McCaldon

has participated in 22 marathons, multiple triathlons and one Iron Man trialthon. “My one and only Iron Man triathlon,” he said laughing. “I did it in Cape Cod and I came in at 11 hours and 27 minutes. I had attempted it the year before, but I had to drop out so I was really determined to do it the next year. But I didn’t want to do it again.” McCaldon always found triathlons the most enjoyable, especially when he was competing alongside his wife or friends. He also found triathlons the most rewarding because they challenged him both physically and mentally. “I like the camaraderie,” he said. “Triathlons are different than just running. They are easier on your body and you work so many different muscles with the three sports. It is also scenic and in some ways very intellectually challenging too, especially the cycling.” While McCaldon did not participate in this year’s K-Town Triathlon, he did compete in the Beat Beethoven run in the spring. “I didn’t beat him,” he joked. “I came in last and I was really slow. I

also got an overuse injury and had a couple of falls following the race so to me, that was my body telling me no more.”

McCaldon still planned on attending the triathlon in Kingston, but simply for moral support. “Cheering on my grandson,” he

said. “We’ve competed a couple of times together and with my son too and that is great to see, but my competitive times are done.”

CANADA'S FIRM FOR SMALL BUSINESS TAX NEEDS

News - After years of training and hard work, Kingston native Danielle Boyd is heading to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro this summer. The 26-year-old sailor, along with her teammate and skipper Erin Rafuse, will compete in the women’s skiff 49erFX sailing competition at the games. The pair earned a spot for Canada at the games last fall, but they still had to qualify as a team earlier this year. “We found out in March that we had been nominated to the team,” explained Boyd. “It was really exciting because we were one of the first teams named. We knew really early and that was incredibly helpful and it took a lot of stress off.” Since March, it has been a lot of practicing and preparation for the games, including a couple of practice runs on the Olympic course in Rio. “It has been productive. We have done three training camps in Rio at the site and those have been really helpful,” said Boyd. “We have been working to get to know the area and the course areas too. It has been a lot of back and forth, but it’s worth it.” While there has been a lot of worry about the water quality in Rio and how that will affect the athletes, Boyd says the water has been better than expected.

“It’s not as bad as we initially thought it would be and we have been coping,” she said. “The challenging part has been the weather, wind and water currents.” According to Boyd, the course in Rio is one of the most difficult she has seen and that has made training very challenging. “There are a lot of geographical effects because of the landscape,” she said. “It is really beautiful, but really mountainous and that creates some difficult wind effects and some massive waves that make sailing really challenging.” The other challenge for Boyd and Rafuse has been the financial cost associated

with competing in the Olympics. They are responsible for providing all of their own equipment, but luckily their hometowns have been very supportive. “We have had huge community support form both Kingston and Halifax (Erin Rafuse’s hometown) and we have raised an amazing amount of money and that has helped us cover all of our costs for the next few months,” said Boyd. “I don’t know what we would do without that support both emotionally and ﬁnancially.” So what is Boyd looking forward to the most about the Olympics? “Everything,” she said. “I am really looking forward to walking in for the opening ceremonies. I think that is when it will really sink in that it is actually hap-

pening and that it is real.” She is also a bit nervous about competing, but she hopes that will pass after the racing begins.

“I always get really nervous at the beginning of a regatta and the anticipation of the ﬁrst race, but once that is over with I think I’ll feel a lot better,” she said. “We

are really just hoping to do our best. We have the potential to do quite well and if we sail to our potential and things fall our way I think we’ll have a great event.”

Kingston Police host Kids Safety Village in Market Square The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kids Safety Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was hosted by Kingston Police in Springer Market Square on July 27. The mobile safety village, created by Cobourg Police, consists of child-sized electric cars and portable street layouts to teach children about roadway safety. Several officers of the Kingston Police force were on hand to chat with children about safety while giving the kids a chance to see cruisers, motorcycles and police horses. In addition to the safety village, the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston was onsite with an inflatable obstacle course.

Summer weekends were kept busy with visitors On most hot summer weekends, we could expect any number of cousins, aunts and uncles to ﬁnd their way out to the farm in Northcote. Mother said it was to escape the heat of the city. We never knew who was coming, but Mother was always prepared. Extra loaves of bread, sticky buns and pies ﬁlled the bake table and the narrow shelf underneath it. No one would go away hungry! If they came on Saturday and stayed over until Sunday, that meant my three brothers would have to bed down in the tent in the yard, giving up the back bedroom upstairs. Of course, my cousin Richard, a couple years younger than I was, was thrilled to be able to sleep outside with the older boys in a tent. His mother, my aunt Lily, protective of her only child, could be heard slipping out the kitchen door a couple times through the night to make sure nothing had happened to her son, which of course, would waken everyone up. Especially Audrey and me who had been moved to the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. Of course, as soon as the door was open, our old Collie dog Sport would start to bark, and the

whole house would be wide awake. But no one seemed to mind, because having a house full of company on a weekend broke the monotony on the farm. The only problem was that Aunt Vanetta, a devout Catholic, insisted on being driven into Renfrew on Sunday morning for Mass, and I wasn’t sure what good it did, because Uncle Johnny, could be heard swearing a blue streak all the way out to his car, and it was a known fact he refused to darken the door of the church, but sat out Mass in his car, blowing blue smoke out the window from his ever-present cigar. And the weekend was like one long party! There was always lots of music and singing, and Uncle Johnny was always telling jokes that Mother laughed at but said weren’t ﬁt for the ears of young children. Aunt Vanetta was like a little bird, small and dainty, with a cloud of white hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen. Her daughter Aunt Lily was tall and stately, and even though she was coming out to a farm, she arrived wearing white gloves and a beautiful hat, and we never saw the same one twice. I used to dream that she was a relative to the Queen, because of the hats she wore. And I was sure she was pretty rich too...wasn’t she the telephone operator at the Chateau Laurier hotel? What elegance, and what an important person she was, I would think. Continued on page 22

Summer weekends were kept busy with visitors Continued from page 21

My cousin Richard was game for anything. He loved playing in the hay mow, which just happened to be one of my favourite places on the farm too. We would climb the little ladder in the end of the cow

byre and run madly through the hay and then push a pile of it down through the opening in the floor, and jump down the hole, and then do the whole exercise over again. We would be covered with bits and pieces of hay and chaff, and when we had enough, Richard would go

QUINTE CANVAS MANUFACTURING

find his mother to get a hanky to blow the hay dust out of his nose. I never used a hanky, except at school or church. The cuff of whatever I was wearing suited just fine. Mealtime was a challenge for Mother. Everyone couldn’t sit at the old pine table, so two planks were brought in and put on the backs of chairs, covered with a heavy quilt and MOSQUITOE S, then a couple NOT WELCO flour bag sheets, ME and the overflow ON BOARD! ate there. By the time Mother had

the meal ready, the kitchen would be like a blasting furnace, but Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lily said it was cooler than in Ottawa, and dug right in mashing potatoes, making gravy, or cutting pies. We younger ones had to set the tables, fill the glasses with water, and make sure everyone had a chair to sit on. The weekend passed far too quickly to suit me. By late Sunday, the company was ready to go home. And I often wondered if they were as rich as I thought they were. Because before the car left the yard, boxes would be tied to the running board, and they would be filled

with meat from the smoke house, a couple cleaned chickens, and bags of vegetables from the garden. Aunt Vanetta always fell into Mother’s arms before she climbed into the car, thanking her and saying something, which at the time meant nothing to me. She’d say “Thank you Mabel...you’ve saved our lives. We’ll sure eat well for a long time to come.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Will we have a Cordelia Campbell for Tragically Hip Day? some of the band members is one of the things that originally made him like me. I grew up in Kingston in the ‘90s, so the significance of the band to my life goes without saying. In fact, the first person I ever interviewed and wrote a ‘story’ about (alongside by best friend, Aurora) was guitarist Rob Baker. I was 13, and the article was for the famous grads section of my elementary school’s 50th anniversary yearbook. For your enjoyment, I’ve transcribed the story and added it as a sidebar to the online version of this article, found at kingstonregion. com. I remember lying in bed one night when I was 10 years old, fighting off sleep because The Hip were playing Richardson Stadium that night and I wanted to listen to the concert, which I could hear quite clearly from several blocks away. Songs like Courage – and Cordelia - were all the rage at that time. This is one of my favourite childhood memories. So if Baby Girl wants to be born on Aug. 20, how can we not name her Cordelia? I’ve been working on convincing Steve of this and finally, with the proclamation of Tragically Hip Day, I think I’ve succeeded. BUT – only if she’s born on Aug. 20. Any other day and she gets the other, (almost) equally awesome name we finally agreed upon. While he agrees the significance of this day/name combination is too great to ignore, I know Steve is hoping she won’t be born within the 24-hour period. He claims it’s mean to name a little girl Cordelia because it’s too “weird”. Clearly, he knows nothing. I think if it’s meant to happen, it will. And how can this not be meant to happen? Even if she’s not born on Aug. 20, I suppose I can still call her Cordelia unofficially – as Anne suggests Marilla does. A not-so-secret nickname, if you will.

“You can call me Cordelia.” That’s what Anne Shirley says to Marilla in Chapter 3 of one of my favourite books of all time. Of course, it isn’t her real name, but as Anne points out, “I would love to be called Cordelia. It’s such a perfectly elegant name.” Then Marilla says something about Anne being a good, plain, sensible name, and I suppose I kind of have to agree with this. Ann (without the “e” – the horror) is my mother’s name, and my middle name. But Cordelia has long been my favourite name for a girl, probably partly because of Anne of Green Gables, but also because she’s the title character in my favourite Hip song, and an important character in my favourite Shakespeare play, King Lear. Perhaps my afﬁnity for both these things originated with my childhood association with the name, but I think I would have come to appreciate them either way. I wanted to call Summer Cordelia, but Steve vetoed the name. I wanted to name the baby girl who will be joining our family in a few weeks that too, and once again the name was vetoed. But, Baby Girl Campbell #2 is due on Aug. 17, 2016 – three days before what is now widely known as Tragically Hip Day in Kingston. Most diehard Hip fans agree that Cordelia is one of the band’s best songs - or at least they should, it’s SUCH a good song – and Steve is probably an even bigger Hip fan than I am. I think the fact that I’m from Kingston and grew up around

Spare us from spare-less vehicles INSTALLS DESIGN &

Ever looked in the trunk of your new vehicle? Notice what’s missing? For many vehicles it’s the spare tire, replaced either by a pressurized can of air and tire sealant or a 12-volt air compressor. Ever wonder why? Most carmakers that have deleted the spare tire as standard equipment have done so in a race to meet government mandated fuel economy standards. And by shedding the 25 or 30 pounds that the average spare tire weighs, they have made a very major and inexpensive leap in that journey. Roadside assistance providers such as CAA have noted a major increase in calls due to ﬂat tires and if there’s no spare to install and the tire is severely damaged, it means a tow call to the nearest repair centre. This might only mean a small inconvenience if it happens in an urban community during business hours, but when it’s 2 a.m. on a Saturday morning in the middle of nowhere, things take a much more serious turn and you could be without your ride for a few days. The replacement compressor or can of sealant option won’t do much if the tire has a major leak. Even if it’s a small puncture and your aerosol can inﬂate it, the liquid sealant will throw the wheel’s balance off, making a trip to the repair shop a ne-

cessity. And if the vehicle is loaded, even a good 12-volt compressor will have a hard time reinflating the tire unless a jack is used to relieve the weight load. An aerosol can will be even more useless in these situations. Another benefit of a spare tire for most vehicles is collision safety. In the event of a rear-end collision, a spare tire mounted flat in the trunk can help to absorb the impact and reduce the amount of collapse into the passenger cabin. So if you’re shopping for a new vehicle, check to see that it comes with a spare tire or if it’s available as an option. If it doesn’t and you regularly travel in outlying areas, you might want to rethink your short list choices. “Hello Brian, I just purchased a 2016 Mazda 3 which I’ll pick up next week. I know the dealer always tries to up-sell the extras like rust protection. I mentioned that I would likely go with an aftermarket product like Krown or Rust Control. The person I was dealing with said that something to the effect that oil spraying the car can cause rubber components on the underside of the car to deteriorate and that there was a Mazda service bulletin stating this. Is he full of hot air on this?” Thanks Eric

Of the major rust-prooﬁng outlets, Krown and Rustcheck use petroleum based products while Ziebart’s is wax based. In the right hands these can all be safe on any car provided the application tech doesn’t soak any rubber components or underbody wiring. Those treatments that dry to a semi-hardened state are less likely to drip and migrate into rubber suspension bushings and such. Ask any rust-proofing retailer up front what written guarantees they provide against any rubber or wiring damage.

Latest Star Trek film goes ‘beyond’ and then some

By: Mark Haskins’

The first thing I have to say is that Star Trek Beyond has the best use of The Beastie Boys’ Sabotage ever. Ever. The second thing is Simon Pegg writes a great Star Trek movie. At the edge of known space the U.S.S. Enterprise docks at Federation star base Yorktown to resupply. While there an alien arrives seeking help for her crew who crashed on a nearby planet. Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) readies his crew for a rescue mission. The Enterprise heads into uncharted territory only to be lured into a trap. A swarm of alien craft overwhelm The Enterprise, and tear her apart. The crew abandon ship, but only a handful make it to the planet without being captured. Kirk, Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) eventually find each other with the help of another stranded alien named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella). Jaylah agrees to help them, and offers her ‘house’ which just happens to be an old Federation ship named The Franklin. Meanwhile Sulu (John Cho), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and the rest of the crew are being held captive by Krall (Idris Elba). While Scotty attempts to get the Franklin to fly Kirk and the rest mount a rescue mission. It won’t be enough to just free the crew. Krall has plans that go beyond attacking one ship. He has eyes on destroying the Federation starting with Yorktown.

There’s nothing like being in the movie theatre and being completely blown away. To be carried away on the wild ride is what movie magic is all about. Star Trek Beyond is exactly that. The sights and sounds are so incredibly real it’s impossible to imagine special effects getting any better than this. The plot is a high-stakes adventure that will have you gripping your armrest. Yet the dramatic is delicately balanced with inspired moments of humour. It is fast-paced action that never loses sight of the characters and what motivates them. It is everything that was and is great about Star Trek. The cast is riveting to watch and have such a natural chemistry with each other. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, and Anton Yelchin have taken these icons, and managed to remain true to what the original actors did while making these characters their own, and making them fresh and new. New to the crew is Sofia Boutella. She offers the perfect combination of physical prowess and emotional empathy. On the other side Idris Elba has this strength of presence, and a sense of inevitability that makes Krall an implacable force. It’s the kind of performance that sends shivers down your spine. I’m often asked if a movie is worth seeing in the theatre. Star Trek Beyond is the reason movie theatres exist.
