Point football field fencing should be in place for September season By Craig Bakay
News — With or without the involvement of the Limestone District School Board, fencing will be in place around the football field at The Point in Sydenham for this September, South Frontenac Council decided at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth presented Council with three bids for about 235 metres of ornamental fence and about 285 metres of chain link fence at a height of five feet. The lowest bid, from Lennox Snow Fence, at $60,130 plus HST, was accepted. Segsworth told Council five feet is the school board’s standard for fencing around sports fields. He said there will be a more ornamental treatment for the sections leading into the park and around the cenotaph. “We talked to the Legion about sharing costs for the section around the cenotaph but they don’t have any funds for such things,” Segsworth said. The fencing will be the final touches on the football field, which was out of commission for last year’s football season while drainage and watering was repaired and upgraded. The school board, who uses the municipally owned field for Sydenham High School Golden Eagles football games, had been participating in the renovations but Segsworth said “we’ve had no commitments from the school board” Lance Alexander Harrington Duerst got to meet Darius the eight-month-old barn owl and his compatriot pertaining to sharing fencing costs on a 50Evan Goudie from Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo in Ottawa at the annual Bobs’ and Crow Lakes Association Fronte- 50 basis. nac Frolic at Glendower Hall.

proceed. “How many dollars in total have we spent on this and are we prepared to go ahead without the school board?” said Coun. Ron Sleeth. “(The fencing) doesn’t seem to benefit Joe Community in any way, shape or form.” “We’ve spent about $150,000 so far,” said Segsworth. “The community does benefit however, for things like minor football. “I’d like to see no fence at all but sometimes you have to do these things.” “I think the school board should be at the table for this,” said Coun. John McDougall. “It seemed to me that when we began we were going to have a long-term agreement with the school board.” “It was more like an understanding,” said Segsworth. “In order to begin work on the field, Council insisted on a signed agreement with the school board,” said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. “But that didn’t cover future expenses.” “If the school board doesn’t agree (to share costs) maybe we should just put up a snow fence,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “A snow fence isn’t much good for event control or keeping motorized vehicles off,” said Segsworth. “I think sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith,” said Coun. Mark Schjerning. “Who knows how long it before the field might be ready (if Council waits for a commitment from the school board) and we need to have it ready for September.”

South Frontenac Council questions appraisal of subdivision property’s worth News — South Frontenac Council decided to defer the matter of a parkland fee with respect to the Willowbrook Estates Subdivision at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham until it can hear from an appraiser of its own choosing. The subdivision agreement was entered into March 4 of this year for the development of land at the corner of Perth Road and Davidson Road in the hamlet of Inverary. The subdivision is to be developed in two phases, the first of which is seven lots (nine in the second phase). One of the requirements in the subdivision agreement reads: “That the owner convey to the municipality five per cent of the land included in the plan for park purposes. Alternatively, the municipality may require cash-in-lieu for all or a portion of the conveyance. The owner acknowledges and agrees that additional parkland and/or cash-in-lieu shall be required upon registration of the second phase of the development.” The clause is standard in subdivision agreements.
CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr told Council that Phase 1 of the subdivision covers 10.79 hectares (26.6 acres) which has been assessed at $55,687. Five per cent of this figure would be $2,784. However, several members of Council questioned the assessment value. “I’m still not comfortable with that assessment,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “I know of two lots near Sydenham that were assessed in the $90,000 range and I’ve been offered $100,000 for a lot. “I have real trouble with it (the assessment).” “Whose appraiser did they use?” asked Coun. Ron Sleeth. “We’ve always used the applicant’s appraiser unless we’ve had reason to doubt it,” said Planner/Dep. Clerk Lindsay Mills. “It does seem low,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “I think the way around that is to get separate appraisals.” Orr said that the Township does have a real estate firm that they can use on a fee for service basis (the service was sent out to tender). “We get an appraisal, they have
an appraisal and we split it down the middle,” said Vandewal. In other South Frontenac development news, Council decided not to approve the closing and transferring of ownership of a portion of an unopened road allowance in Storrington District until two neighbours can finalize an agreement. Council was prepared to approve

a motion to sell the road allowance to Ron Campbell. The deal would have included creating an “orphaned lot” but during the public meeting, neighbour David Day said he had an agreement to buy that portion of the property from Campbell. “You have a verbal agreement?” asked Vandewal. “Yes,” said Day.

“You realize that if we approve this Campbell owns it all and is under no obligation to sell any of it,” said Vandewal. “In that case, we object,” said Day. The land was advertised for sale for four consecutive weeks. Council decided to defer approval of the arrangement to allow Day and Campbell to firm up their agreement.

Sleeth’s ‘announcement’ actually a self-admitted ‘rant’ By Craig Bakay
News — When Mayor Ron Vandewal asked at last week’s South Frontenac Council meeting if anyone had any announcements, Coun. Ron Sleeth raised his hand. “It’s not really an announcement, it’s more of a rant,” Sleeth said. Sleeth proceeded to take issue with Frontenac County for its approval of a branding proposal, renovation of its offices and the proposal to hire a second communications officer. “A number of people approached me
(about the branding issue) and we spent $40,000 on it and it means nothing,” he said. “And we can’t even afford more than a part-time support worker (at Fairmount Home)? “I’m not sure what we’re communicating that we need a second communications officer and $2 ½ million to renovate that old building? “We were able to build a whole new fire hall for $1 ½ million. “We pay 60 per cent of the taxes on this and it boggles my mind.” Continued on page 5

Coun. John McDougall said he agreed with most of what Sleeth said but defended the branding/logo issue as it was paid for with grant money and McDougall is on record as liking the concept. ••• Sleeth also gave notice of motion that he intends to put forth a proposal to hire someone to monitor subdivisions and plans of condominium in South Frontenac to ensure that they’re conforming to agreements for things like not cutting down trees and encroaching on waterfronts. Sleeth mentioned the Johnston Point development in particular. “We could hire someone on a month-tomonth basis,â€? Sleeth said.
••• A recent consultants’ study looking at the staff requirements in South Frontenac was deferred until budget time, but Council did approve one of its recommendations — the hiring of a Manager for Developmental Services. The new position will be created to work with CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr, Treasurer Louise Fragnito and Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth to “develop an implementation plan for the Strategic Plan as well as required policy and long-term needsâ€? as well as overseeing the work of Township staff. As well as rearranging some who-reportsto-whom assignments, the report also recommended the hiring of a communications person, a full-time deputy clerk and a ďŹ re safety ofďŹ cer.

Changes coming to Holleford Road intersections and reduced speed zones on several others By Craig Bakay
News — In one of the more entertaining presentations at South Frontenac Council in
recent memory, Mayor Ron Vandewal became Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth’s visual aide support, illustrating the intricacies of the various intersections on Holleford Road

at Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. “The intersection at Holleford and Vanluven gives right of way to the vehicles travelling both east and south on Holleford Road, while the vehicles travelling west on Vanluven have to yield,” Segsworth said. “This poses an issue as the eastbound vehicles on Holleford cross the path of the Vanluven vehicles uncontrolled. “The second intersection at Holleford and Trousdale again gives right of way to the vehicles travelling along Holleford Road and the vehicles travelling along Trousdale have to yield, posing an issue of visibility from Trousdale Road when looking southerly is insufficient, and the westbound vehicles on Holleford cross the path of the Trousdale vehicles uncontrolled.” Faced with blank stares from much of Council, the Mayor headed over to the illustration board and began drawing out a map as Segsworth repeated his presentation. The solution, Segsworth said, was to replace the yield conditions with T-intersections and stop signs. “I agree, I think that’s a really dangerous corner and think this is a good solution,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. But not everyone was in agreement, Segsworth said. “I’ve got to be honest with you, we really
touched a nerve in the community,” he said. “There are those who think we should leave things as they are but do more brushing. “If you didn’t live here and just came in, you wouldn’t believe such things existed (so) in good conscience, I can’t not recommend something be done with these intersections.” Council approved amendments to the traffic bylaw to allow for the changes. On another traffic note, Council also approved reduced speed limits (to 60 kmh) on portions of Westport Road (from Canoe Lake Road easterly 800 m to Wolfe Lake), Duff Road (from Round Lake Road to Lakeside Road), Greenfield Road (Perth Road to Duff Road), Alton Road West (Road 38 to Loughborough Portland Boundary Road), Henderson Road (Wilton Road to Yarker Road) Murton Road (Road 38 to Forest Road), Walker Road (Loughborough Portland Boundary Road to Quarry Lane), and two sections of Canoe Lake Road (Bedford Road to the south limits of Mitchell Creek Bridge and North limits of Mitchell Creek Bridge to Desert Lake Church). “We look at reducing speed zones a couple of times a year on an ad hoc basis,” Segsworth said. “We can’t react to just one person’s request — they have to have more support. “But it’s getting near the point where we make 60 kmh the default and post 80 kmh zones.”

Events – Members of Save Our Prison Farms (SOPF) and the Pen Farm Herd Co-op are coming together again for a rally in downtown Kingston, but this time it is much more hopeful and positive compared to rallies of the past. On Aug. 16, the groups will host a rally outside of City Hall in support of reopening the prison farms in Kingston. The rally will precede a town hall meeting on the subject and aims to show appreciation for the meeting itself. “We want to generate some interest in the town hall and show our appreciation for this opportunity to give our input,” explained Dianne Dowling, a long-time member of the SOPF group. The town hall meeting is just one part of the process that has been initiated by the Liberal government in reassessing the prison farms. Earlier in July it was announced that the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) will perform a feasibility study on the subject. CSC also launched an online survey seeking public feedback about the prison farms. “It might be too early to talk about celebrating, but we want to show a positive appreciation for having this opportunity to give our feedback,” said Dowling. “We think and we’ve always thought that the prison farm program should be restored.” The public meeting will also include Minister of Public Safety, Ralph Goodale, who is expected to make a few comments and then listen to public comments throughout the two-hour meeting. “We would like to have as many of our supporters at both the rally and the meeting as possible,” said Dowling. “We want to make sure that our opinions are heard and we are also encouraging people to prepare written statements in case we run out of time.”
For her part, Dowling hopes to communicate and emphasize the value that the prison farms provide to both the inmates and the community. “We feel that it offers employment skills training for inmates so that when they are released they have a broader range of work skills than when they went into prison,” she said. “We feel that the skills they learn are transferable to more than just farming and the value of the farms is augmented by the rehabilitation effect of working with animals, too.” Dowling also sees the town hall meeting as an opportunity for community members to present their ideas on how the prison farms can progress into the future. “I think proposals for interesting ideas of how to add to the farms are also important,” said Dowling. “Some people have said that there could be integration with green energy ideas. There is a lot of creativity out there and I think those should be shown to Corrections and the minister.” Dowling is happy to see the issue progressing to this point, but she real-

Is there any way the Blue Jays can keep Bautista (and Encarnacion and Saunders) after this season?
Column — Wouldn’t it be nice if the Blue Jays could find some way of keeping Jose Bautista a little while longer when this season ends? Bautista, along with Edwin Encarnacion and Michael Saunders are all free agents at the end of this year and given the kind of contracts each will likely command on the open market, there’s just no way all three will be back wearing maple leafs on Canada Day. Saunders, as nice as it would be to have another Canadian on the team, will get offered a contract with Melvin Upton type numbers ($15-17 million per for five years or so) by somebody. It could be the Jays, depending on circumstances but let’s move on. Edwin, on the other hand, is rated by Spotrac as No. 19 in terms of market value. (Saunders is 66). This means he’ll command something in
the neighbourhood of $23.6 million yearly for five years. With David Ortiz retiring at the end of the season, take a wild guess where Edwin is likely to end up. If not Boston though, there are plenty of AL teams who could afford and would want the big DH-1B (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Texas, Baltimore). That’s a lot of money for the Jays to commit to. Which brings us back to Bautista. Spotrac has Jose at No. 8 in terms of market value. The price tag associated with that is $25.2 million per year and according to that source, he could be asking for six years. He’s 35 and slowing down plus he blew out that deadly arm so it’s looking like he’ll be buying a first baseman’s mitt sometime in the future before finishing his career as a full-time DH. Still, this is Bautista we’re talking about here. The guy’s been the heart and soul of this team for years and even signed a team-friendly contract in an effort to bring another championship to Canada. At $14 million per year, he’s been considerably underpaid in professional baseball terms. Now, no one would begrudge

Bautista his chance at a lottery-like payday. And chances are excellent that someone will give it to him (see the possible new homes for Edwin). But, there is also a chance that, given what Bautista has meant to this team, the Jays organization might be willing to make it up to him (somewhat). And, if the chance to finish his career in Toronto came about, he’d probably at least mull it over. First, six years is doable if, say it’s a guaranteed three-year contract with three club option years. If, at any time the club exercises its right not to pick up the contract, then the club guarantees Bautista a decent frontoffice job (he did study business in junior college). As for money, there are lots of ways to structure that. For example, the first year of the contract could be a ‘reward’ year of $26 million with the following two years (plus options) a respectable $17 million per, with all sorts of incentive clauses for things like home runs, RBIs, walks, you name it. It’s not Miguel Cabrera money, but Jose’s batting average has been steadily declining.

In Our Opinion
Redemption for non-flossers? Editorial - For years, dental organizations, manufacturers, dental hygienists and even the government have emphasized the practice of flossing teeth, but last week, evidence to the contrary surfaced. Since 2010, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans has included a message about flossing stating: “A combined approach of reducing the amount of time sugars and starches are in the mouth, drinking fluoridated water, and brushing and flossing teeth, is the most effective way to reduce dental caries.” However, the 2015 version of this guideline no longer includes this message. This omission prompted The Associated Press to use a Freedom of Information Act request to ask for the evidence. As a result, in a letter to AP, the U.S. government acknowledged the effectiveness of flossing had never been researched. The news agency took a deeper look and after focusing on 25 studies that compared the use of a toothbrush with the combination of toothbrushes and floss, the findings showed that the evidence for flossing is ‘weak, very unreliable,’ of ‘very low’ quality, and carries ‘a moderate to large potential for bias’. A review published by the Journal of Clinical Periodontology also concluded that ‘the majority of available studies fail to demonstrate that flossing is generally effective in plaque removal’. But doesn’t this go against everything we have been taught since we were kids? Doesn’t this mean that all of those lectures and dirty looks from dentists and hygienists over the years have been for nothing? Even with these studies, both the American and Canadian Dental Associations still claim that flossing is important. They stand by the belief that flossing is still the most effective way to get between teeth and prevent build-up and the most effective way to prevent oral health diseases. So should you floss? The evidence seems to be a bit muddled either way. Flossing is a pain, but this debate can at least give some non-flossers (or those of us who just floss the week before going to the dentist) piece of mind. And if you already floss regularly (really?) then there appears to be no harm in continuing.

Kingston hospitals get big boost from provincial budget hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
This year, Ontario’s government announced a $51.8 billion investment in health care for 2016-17 – and over $13 million of that will be coming to the Kingston area. The province’s minister of health and long-term care, Dr. Eric Hoskins, was in Kingston Aug. 2 to make the announcement alongside MPP Sophie Kiwala. “As our communities grow and change, the needs of patients and all those who rely upon our healthcare system are also changing,” said Hoskins, standing in front of the construction site where the new Providence Care building is currently being built. “When it comes to the complicated matter of transforming healthcare, we need to set rather simple but specific and clear goals. For our government the foundation of this has been very clear – it’s to give Ontarians faster access to the right care now and into the future.” Providence Care alone will receive an increase of $3.9 million in operating funding; Kingston General Hospital will receive an increase of $6.7 million in operating funding; and Hotel Dieu an increase of $550,000. “If you look at Kingston hospitals overall, this represents an over three per cent increase in
operating funding this year, and it’s of such critical importance,” Hoskins said. “In the past four years, [hospital staff] have been asked, sometimes in seemingly insurmountable ways, to find new ways of delivering healthcare - find efficiencies, find a way of coordinating care better. They say and I will admit that this funding is long overdue. It’s an important step to on an ongoing basis increasing the level of funding we provide through our hospitals.” Hoskins also announced $2.5 million to support early planning for potential future capital investments at KGH. “This grant will facilitate capacity planning to help ensure that future infrastructure investments support the needs of patients here in Kingston. As we look to the future of healthcare, we must ensure that our system is sustainable for generations to come.” Another $58,000 will go toward the continuation of a local paramedicine pilot program, which aims to help seniors and other patients live independently longer and reduce emergency room visits and hospital admissions. Hoskins explained that there are about 25 of these programs throughout the province; paramedics go around to the homes of seniors in need and people with chronic illness and ensure they’re doing okay; if they’re not, the paramedics can provide them with support or escort them to their primary provider or local hospital if necessary.
“Across the province we’re finding that our paramedics are making an incredible difference in keeping those seniors and those with chronic illnesses well and happy at home and away from our hospital ERs and admission,” Hoskins said. “So even though it’s the tiniest amount of $58,000, it really is impactful and our paramedics are doing a tremendous job.” Province-wide, the government plans to invest $12 billion in hospital capital grants to build modern infrastructure over the next 10 years. Approximately 35 major hospital projects are now underway or in planning across Ontario. The $3.9 million increase in
operating funding of Providence Care is in addition to the province’s over $770 million investment in the brand new 270-bed facility, slated to open in the spring of 2017. MPP Sophie Kiwala expressed gratitude for the increase of over $11 million in funding between all three of Kingston’s hospitals. “Furthermore, we are very excited about the additional investment of $2.5 million to specifically support the next phase of the proposed redevelopment at Kingston General Hospital. This is a clear indication of the province’s commitment to modernize, expand and improve the patient experience at our hospitals.”

Livestock barn used for Kingston Fall Fair ‘condemned’, temporary facility to be built By Bill Hutchins
News – The show will go on, but with some makeshift improvements. The city has started emergency structural work on sections of the crumbling Memorial Centre to ensure they’re safe for the public in time for the annual Kingston Fall Fair. Structural engineers recently determined that two key areas of the midtown recreational complex required immediate action to address safety concerns; the concrete outdoor grandstand on the arena’s north side, and one of the main barns that houses livestock. Work on repairing the grandstand with structural reinforcements began in early August, and the site remains fenced off to keep the public away. “Focusing on the grandstands, staff worked quickly to create a scope of work to structurally reinforce the asset which was approved by the structural engineer on July 26, 2016. The work will require approximately three weeks to complete and is intended to be accomplished prior to the Fall Fair,” according to a report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. The grandstand is a focal point for visitors to watch the demolition derby, one of the fair’s most popular attractions. As well, a building condition assessment determined that the large southern portion of Bracken-Tait barn (known as section #1) is “unsafe as is” and beyond repair. The structure will be demolished.
Gail Shook, co-president of the Kingston & District Agricultural Society, says the barn was close to collapsing. “Structural engineers have condemned it.” Shook says she recently toured the barn with city officials to get a first-hand look at the deteriorating condition. “It probably should not have been used last year. It was unbelievable. The wood support beams were rotten at the bottom. Any cattle that hit those supports hard and the whole building would’ve come down.” City staff say they met with the Agricultural Society Board and various exhibitors from the Fall Fair to discuss options. “It was agreed to demolish the structure and that maintaining the concrete floor would provide an opportunity for a temporary solution,” said Hurdle. The city will rent heavy duty fencing to anchor to the concrete floor and recreate the stalls necessary to house the animals under a temporary tent shelter. Temporary lighting, water and power will have to be drawn from the neighboring barns. “The conclusion was that the City could create a temporary solution in time for the Fall Fair that would not impact operations,” Hurdle added. Removing a section of the barn and stalls that house cattle, goats and pigs poses other problems. “Pigs and cows do not get along at all. We have to make sure there’s heavy duty tenting to keep the animals apart,” Shook explained. The cost of the grandstand repairs, plus emergency demolition and makeshift repairs to the barn, is estimated at $80,000 – tax money that will
be drawn from the current recreation and leisure services capital budgets. Shook says the city plans to rebuild the demolished barn in time for the 2017 fair, but there just isn’t time to do it this year. “It’s going to be re-
built. That’s what they are telling us.” She says the city hasn’t invested much money in the buildings and structures that are used by the fair unless it’s absolutely necessary. “The barns have not been looked after in years.”

News - According to a new study done by the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) and CUPE, hospital funding in Ontario is much lower than hospital funding in the rest of Canada “It is a big problem and it is getting worse,” said Mike Rodrigues, president of CUPE 1974 (Kingston General Hospital). “We have done some research and now
we are ready to present our findings to both the public and the government.” The findings, which were acquired using data available from the Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHC), were released on Aug. 2 at the Seniors Centre in Kingston. CUPE and the OCHU looked at data relating to hospital beds, levels of care, admissions and readmissions and of course overall funding and they focused on comparing Ontario to the rest of Canada.
“We wanted to release this report to draw attention to the fact that provincially, by our calculations, Ontario is about $4.8 billion short compared to all the other provinces in terms of how we fund our hospitals,” said Michael Hurley, president of the OCHU. “We are calling on the government to make a real investment and at least fund these hospitals at their real costs.” Continued on page 13
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL/MULTI RESIDENTIAL TAX NOTICES The Commercial/Industrial/Multi-Resident and Mixed assessment 2016 Tax Notices have been mailed to property owners on July 28, 2016. Due date of the 1st instalment is August 31, 2016 and 2nd instalment is September 30, 2016. If your property falls within these classifications and you do not receive your tax notice within the next two weeks, ensure you contact the tax department to obtain a copy via email at taxes@southfrontenac.net or call 613-376-3027 Ext 2200.
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL – FIRE DEPARTMENT VEHICLE Sealed submissions must be received by 1:00 pm on Monday, August 15, 2016, Township of South Frontenac, Attention: Wayne Orr, 4432 George St, Sydenham ON, K0H 2T0. See the township website under Town Hall/ Tenders/2016 Tenders for details.
SALE OF LAND BY PUBLIC TENDER Take notice that the Township will be having a sale of land by public tender on August 17, 2016. For further information regarding this sale and a copy of the prescribed form of tender, visit www.OntarioTaxSales.ca or if no internet access is available, tender packages can be purchased at the Municipal Offices, at a cost of $10.00 + HST, located at 4432 George St, Sydenham beginning July 11, 2016.
RECYCLING REMINDERS There is still a HUGE problem within the Township with the lack of proper recycling. Refer to the Recycle Calendar: The amount of residents putting out the wrong items on the wrong week is still a mystery. Don’t look at your neighbors – they may be the ones that are wrong! Bagging: For some reason there are those that insist on stockpiling cans & plastics then putting out 4 or 5 bags. This is unacceptable! Our recycle collectors will begin to refuse any bagged recycling for the following reasons: All bags must be emptied into the truck with the bag left to fly around the countryside; They should not have to collect the emptied bags nor sort through the bagged recycling to find that a glass bottle, dirty styrofoam containers or simply household garbage has been thrown in the bag by mistake. Having your cans and plastics loose in a blue box gives them a quick visual as to what items are there. Stockpiling: If you tend to have a lot of cans or bottles on a biweekly basis, please DO NOT stockpile them then put out 4-5 receptacles that are not blue boxes. The contractors look for the trademark BLUE recycle boxes, not baskets or boxes. Crush your cans & deflate your plastic bottles then put them out whenever the proper weekly pickup is. Blue Boxes are still only $6 at our Keeley Road office. Colored Styrofoam is STILL being put out in the blue boxes. As numerous previous notices have said – As of May 9th, The City of Kingston is no longer collecting colored Styrofoam so please either refrain from purchasing items packaged on colored Styrofoam or be sure to garbage it. REMEMBER the steps that we ask of you in placing out your recycling is to ensure that when the trucks arrive at the City’s Recycling Centre there are no problems or reasons for refusal. So for the 85% of us that recycle properly it is disappointing to realize that the other 15% are hampering our efforts in creating a cleaner environment for our children.
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
RECREATION AND LEISURE SURVEY The Township is conducting a survey to get a better understanding of community needs in respect to recreation and leisure activities. The survey along with additional public consultation will help create a new recreation plan that will be presented to Council this fall. By completing this survey, you will be entered into a draw to win a prize pack including a Fitbit charge HR, Private hour of ice at the Frontenac Community Arena and some Township swag. The survey can be accessed online at southfrontenac.net under the Recreation Activities page or directly via www.surveymonkey.com/r/SFrecplan

Ontario and Kingston come up short in terms of health spending: unions According to CIHI, Ontario government per capita funding for hospitals is $1,395.73. The rest of Canada, excluding Ontario, spends $1,749.69 per capita on hospitals. In other words, provincial and territorial governments outside of Ontario spend $353.96 more per person on hospitals than Ontario does, or roughly 25 per cent more. According to the findings, these numbers have increased steadily over the years and in 2005-2006 the gap between Canada and Ontario was at just 4.3 per cent. “With working in the hospital you see reductions and they may seem small at first, but year-toyear you really see their growing impact,” said Rodrigues. “Our front line workers hear the frustrations. They also hear about being sent home too early and see the readmissions.” According to the report, Ontario has the fewest number of hospital beds in any province and the length of hospital stays continue to be reduced for this reason. This decrease leads to an increase in
readmissions. “We have a drop in admissions and an increase in readmissions,” explained Hurley. “In terms of readmissions, Ontario is higher than the rest of Canada and Kingston is actually higher than the rest of Ontario. From our point of view, readmissions represent failures of the system to actually repair people properly.” The report also looked at funding for homecare and longterm care, an area the government has claimed they are expanding to meet growing needs. “We have been told that

investments are being made in those areas,” said Hurley. “But long-term care is 7.2 per cent behind the rest of the country and for homecare and community care we spend 14.3 per cent less. We have the fewest number of hospital beds, so you think we would have the most vibrant homecare system, but in fact we underspend.” Overall, Hurley emphasized that while hospitals require about a three per cent increase year to year to keep up with inflationary needs, hospitals in Ontario and in Kingston are only receiving about one per cent.
“The increase should actually be around five per cent when you take into account additional pressures like population growth and aging and we are nowhere near that,” he said. “Because of that we see nursing and staff cuts as a result and that is not acceptable.” In terms of staffing, the reports conclude that in Kingston, across all hospitals, approximately 137 registered nurses and about 407 other staff would need to be added to equal comparable staffing in other provinces like Manitoba or New Brunswick. “That is a lot of people,” said
Hurley. “This lack of staffing means there is less care in the hospital for mothers who have just given birth, or people recovering from surgery and than again leads to readmissions and complications.” So what can be done about these issues? “People can talk to their Member of Provincial Parliament about these issues. That would be really appreciated,” said Hurley. “We are doing these reports in every major community in the province and we are hoping to get some traction with the government to increase the funding.”

Latest Bourne flick serves up plenty of high-octane action By:Mark Haskins’
So I’m in the theatre watching the big climactic chase scene, and I have to say it’s awesome. Bourne (Matt Damon) is in pursuit of his nemesis
played by Vincent Cassel, and they’re racing through the streets of Vegas with wild abandon. Part of me is loving it, but there’s another part of me thinking the air bags on the new Dodge Charger really suck. How many things do you
need to run into before they go off? Jason gets dragged back into the secret war of spy versus spy by Nicky (Julia Stiles). She hacked into the CIA database, and walked away with every black ops file they’ve ever done all the way back to Treadstone. She goes to Jason because she discovered something about his father’s involvement in the program, and because they’re starting up a new program called Iron Hand. It isn’t long before the CIA is trying to kill Jason because of what he knows. The hunt is led by CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) and the head of the CIA’s cyber division Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander). It’s been years since Bourne FREE FREIGHT surfaced last, and TRENTON • GANANOQUE • WILLIAMSBURG they aren’t about

Jones is exactly who you want as director of the CIA, bent on protecting the country no matter what rights he has to trample over. Alicia Vikander steps in beautifully as the next generation of spy whose weapons are information and technology. Julia Stiles slides back into the role of Nicky, and as far as homicidal assassins go Vincent Cassel is as lethal as you could want. While this may not be the best Bourne film I still enjoy watching Matt Damon play the part. He’s created this intelligent action hero in the intelligent action movie, and it works. He’s great and generally speaking these movies are great too. In the end Jason Bourne feels more like a prologue than a movie. Mind you I still want to see what happens after the prologue.

to lose him again. Jason goes on the offensive, and begins gathering information on the CIA’s new program, and his father’s involvement in Treadstone. It’s a chase that goes from city to city, and country to country. Jason is determined to expose the CIA, and get to the bottom of Treadstone once and for all. Jason Bourne is high-octane action. It has that same intensity, that same sense of urgency, and that same thrill ride feel as the previous Bourne films. It also follows the same formula as the other films which lends to a certain predictability. It is also a lot looser in terms of plot than the previous films. With the Bourne movies I’m used to being thrown into the pool and expected to swim, but there is a cleverness to how things have been put together in the end that wasn’t there this time. The cast is superb. Tommy Lee

THE PERFORMANCE SHED Call Yogi 613-372-1280 | www.performanceshed.com
Missing pie becomes a mystery for Mother Father, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door. She was at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies. “There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said. It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes! Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed flour-bag tea towels. The wonderful sweet smell followed us upstairs. Well, what a commotion greeted us first thing in the morning! We could hear Mother yelling at the top of her lungs, ordering Everett to fetch Father from the barn at once! “He has taken a pie, and probably has eaten most of it by now, and will expect to have a full breakfast when he comes in.” She was sure
hoppin’ mad. Well, Father came in and was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed. Mother pointed a finger at each of my three brothers, who all vowed they had never touched the berry pie. Father had the nerve to suggest maybe Mother had put it someplace, or maybe Earl, who sometimes walked in his sleep had taken it off the bake table. “Well, it’s gone, and I’ll find out who took it, and there’ll be hang to pay, I can tell you,” she said. The day passed and there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all. Well, the next morning, was a repeat of the morning before. Mother was yelling at the top of her lungs to get Father from the barn at once! Then we saw what she was yelling about. There on the bake table was the empty pie plate, spotlessly clean, shining like a new nickle, with a note written on the back of a cigarette box thanking the lady of the house for the best pie he had ever eaten! Shivers ran up and down my back when we finally realized a tramp had jumped the freight train that passed through our farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night.

Missing pie becomes a mystery for Mother Continued from page 19
Father said the smell of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all. He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the night before. Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors! No one in Northcote locked their doors. Ours didn’t even have a key! For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm. He said he knew they often slept in the barn. And they were hungry...always hungry. Riding the rails was their life, and
getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive. After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it. It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs. Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Do your research before choosing headlight replacements “Hi Brian, I read with interest your recent column on headlight safety. The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) has finally realized that ineffective or super bright headlights are a menace! Sometime ago I took your advice on an upgrade on a headlight bulb and replaced my original bulbs. It certainly made a difference as to how far I could see down the road at night. However, I read the fine print, with a magnifying glass, and discovered that the expected lifetime for the bulb was only 200 hours. So I browsed on the web for LED replacements and found all sorts of bulbs on sale for my vehicle’s application. From tiny 20 watt lights to 80 watt fan cooled monsters. Taking a rule of thumb of a factor of four to multiply the LED wattage to standard filament bulb wattage means that the 80 watt bulbs would Enjoy the Ride.

headlamp bulb into a system that wasn’t originally designed for it is risky. Running a lower watt bulb can reduce this risk but won’t completely eliminate it. And if the bulb is hot enough to require a cooling fan or heat sink, it shouldn’t be used in a lamp that wasn’t designed for it. The new Ontario safety standards that came into effect on July 1 only speak to the use of HID (high intensity discharge) lamps and outlaws their placement in lamps that weren’t designed for them. There is no candela-power rating mentioned in the Ontario regulations, so you’re correct; interpretation and enforcement of improper lights is pretty much up to police services. The variety of headlamp pod designs on today’s vehicles makes it hard for aftermarket manufacturers to offer complete assemblies for even a small portion of the autos on the road so currently only simple round and rectangular seal beam units are offered in LED format by credible makers such as Phillips. As the retrofit bulb kits cost around $200, it’s a pretty expensive experiment.

be bright enough to search for aircraft at high altitude! So I went to the Ontario Highway Act to find if there are any guidelines as to how bright a headlight can be. I think you’ve commented before that the rules and regulations are obscure and don’t easily apply. The impression I got is that a headlight is too bright when the approaching policeman says it is. So, my question is: Do you have any experience on replacement LED headlight bulbs and the wattage rating we can safely use without being obnoxious/dangerous to oncoming traffic?” Always look for your column, both in the Perth EMC.” J.v.B LED headlamp bulbs can offer longer range night vision but only by about 15 per cent for distance, dependent on the headlamp design. While the bulb portion of the lamp runs cooler and uses less electricity, the base of the bulb can run extremely hot, making the only safe way to use them, is in a lamp assembly specifically designed to accommodate this heat.

are a large part of our social life.” Hank John and Janet have sold their eggs at the Kingston Market for 23 years and hope to be back as soon as possible. A lot of people miss them. They will be back during this market season, but can’t guarantee a date. “We have customers who tell us their children have only ever eaten our eggs, and their children are now 20,” said Janet. “We have customers who have been with us throughout our time on the farm. We always enjoy seeing our customers at the market.” When you buy eggs, you are getting one of the most complete and healthy foods available. There’s an array of options. Hank John explained that eggs labeled “free run” come from chickens that are not caged. Instead, the birds are allowed to run free in the barn. “Free range” eggs come from chickens that are loose in the barn when they are inside but also have outdoor access. The healthiest and most prized eggs are labeled “organic.” The standards to meet in order to achieve this rating are stringent. Any area to which the chicken has access, must also meet organic standards. So the Reinink chickens can only feed out-

doors in fields that themselves meet organic standards. “Birds have to be organic from day one,” said Hank John. “Chicks we get are fed organic food right from the start. The main thing about being organic is that the feed has to be totally organic and the birds have to be free range. The minimum stan-
dard is that your space has to average 1.8 square feet per bird in the barn, and the outside range has to have 50% more space. We have 6000 square feet inside for the almost 3000 birds per barn, and 9000 square feet outside per barn.” Continued on page 29
Egg farmers Janet and Hank John Reinink recently completed the rebuilding of their barn that was destroyed by fire in January. They plan on having their eggs back on the market in the near future. Photo by/Mark Bergin

No one knows better than Hank John and Janet Reinink which came first—the chicken or the egg. First it’s the barn, then the chickens, followed by the eggs and then the grading machine. The Reininks’ egg production went up in flames on January 23, 2016. The fire is thought to have started as an electrical issue. “A neighbor down the road woke up after midnight, looked out the window and saw the flames and called 911,” said Janet. “His wife called us. We got the call about 12:30. There was disbelief and total confusion.” They had to decide whether to rebuild from scratch. They decided they were too young to retire, and egg farming is what they love, so they rebuilt. Insurance covered some of their costs. “We lost half our birds, all our equipment and the grading station,” said Hank John. Having their own grading station is what makes the business viable. The large devices aren’t easy
to come by for an operation the size of the Reinink Farm. Most grading stations are geared to gigantic corporate farms. To get a replacement meant a 72 hour round trip drive to Prince Edward Island, taking a grading machine apart there, moving it to Kingston and reassembling it. There are still some repairs required. Hank John’s parents bought the farm in 1961. The barn that the fire destroyed was built in 1963. Hank John grew up on the farm. Janet came from a banking family and had moved repeatedly while growing up. The two met at the University of Guelph, where neither of them was studying agriculture. Janet majored in English literature, Hank John in psychology. They married in 1985, and then, after a summer at the farm, returned to Guelph, where Hank John completed the university’s agriculture diploma program. “I loved being here [at the farm],” said Janet. “It was gorgeous.” The only thing she didn’t enjoy was seeing the chickens in cages. They changed that and adopted a free range approach to their chickens, followed by a move to organic. “Our parents did not direct market,” said Hank John. “I can’t imagine farming without our direct marketing.

KGH patients get a visit from some ‘super’ window washers mandymarciniak@metroland.com
Editor’s note: Thank you to Matthew Manor and KGH for allowing us to use these fantastic photos. Congrats on the well-deserved international attention they have received from the BBC and other media outlets. News – Patients at Kingston General Hospital were a bit surprised when they looked out their windows on Aug. 2, but in a good way. The hospital, in partnership with Elite Window Cleaning, arranged for some special guests

to clean the windows and give patients, both young and old, something to smile about. “We heard about this idea of having superheroes clean the windows at a conference last fall and we knew we had to do it at KGH,” explained Marcia McFarlane, maternal child supervisor at KGH and one of the members responsible for organizing the day. “It was something so simple, but we knew it would make the kids so happy.” The superhero window washers, members of the Elite Window Cleaning team, were immediately on board when KGH contacted them with this special request.

“It was the first time any of us had done something like that and it was beyond rewarding,” said Chris Stoness of Elite. “We brainstormed about who we wanted to dress up as and we rented the costumes from Audrey’s here in Kingston. They were a bit hot, but well worth it.” Members of the team dressed up as Iron Man, Spiderman, Superman, Thor, Batman and G.I. Joe and set off on their cleaning, but they took a bit more time than they would normally. “The superheroes were wonderful and they really took their time and participated with the kids too, posing for pictures, giving thumbs up and touching the glass,” said McFarlane. “The patients and their families
were laughing and we had our playroom set up for patients from the cancer centre to come up before their treatments. There were lots of photos and everyone was surprised.” The cleaners themselves also really enjoyed the experience and they were surprised by some of the reactions they received. “We had to clean all the windows to the ground dressed like that so there were some older patients that got some joy out of it too,” said Stoness. “They were really surprised, but in a good way. They laughed too.” The event was a great success all around and McFarlane hopes that it is something the hospital can repeat in the years to come. “I would love to do it again. It was definitely very special. When you see the kids touching the windows and just the look on their faces, it is so rewarding.”

Overcoming a tragic fire: Reinink eggs are back Continued from page 23
The farm is certified by Ecocert Canada, and there’s an annual audit where the farm is examined. Certification also includes checks on the birds as well as the book keeping. “Most of the eggs are laid in nest boxes,” said Hank John. “The whole system is designed to attract the birds into the nest boxes to lay their eggs.” The floor is sloped to a conveyor and eggs are gathered twice a day and put into cool storage. “We also gather any floor eggs two or three times a day,” said Janet. About half the eggs are sold to Burnbrae Farms, which does its own sorting and distribution. The other half of the eggs goes through the Reininks’ grading machine, which also washes, rinses and dries the eggs. After going through the grading machine, eggs are placed in a separate cooler until they are distributed to market or local restaurants and retail outlets. “This is the barn of the future,” said Hank John. “The egg industry is in the throes of change.” Consumer preferences have substantially influenced the market. When consumers care about where a product comes from, including the care of the animals involved in food production, the industry changes.
“The bigger retailers are saying that in ten years, they are not going to purchase eggs from caged birds,” said Hank John. “So someone will have to have a system, not necessarily the system we use, but some kind of a system for free run and free range chickens. It’s a big step for the comfort of the chickens.” For a small operation like the Reinink Farm’s 6000 chickens, the system is ideal. “The larger producers are going to be challenged,” said Hank John. “The consumer is influencing the industry and the industry is trying to accommodate. We are already doing this.” Last week, the Reininks moved the first batch of chickens, more than 2800 of them, into a new state-of-the-art barn. The farm is registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and one of the requirements to sell and distribute the eggs is an operational grading machine. “Our priority was to have the barns ready for the birds,” said Hank John. He’s now working on getting the new grading machine operational. On July 23, six months since the day of the fire, they held an open house at their new facility. They witnessed how much the community appreciates them when droves of people showed up to wish them well. Just under 200 visitors, including fellow farmers, dropped by.

EXHIBIT ANSWERS QUESTION, BUT RAISES MORE
The Shakers were a quaint, old-fashioned people that just happened to build beautiful furniture, right? Not at all. MacLachlan curator, Tom Riddolls, explains how the exhibit, Shakers – Decoding an Identity helps break down stereotypes of this furniture- building community. “Time has conspired to paint [the Shakers] simply. But the image of somber people in old photographs does not capture how innovative and joyful they were.” However, Riddolls feels there are a lot of unanswered questions. “The basic problem of how the Shakers can say material beauty is a sin but also produce goods universally-accepted as beautiful is one we will have to continue to think about.”
