Township to get tough on Sydenham parking By Craig Bakay
Apples for Easter Seals Melanie and her son Ryan, 4, pick apples during the 7th annual Apple Fest Harvest Kick-off and Community Fundraiser for Easter Seals Ontario, hosted by Waddell Apples, Sept. 11. The daylong family event, which featured apple picking, music, children’s activities and wagon rides, attracted large crowds. Since 2009, visitors to the farm, located at Hwy 15 and Washburn Road, have helped raise over $8,000 for local charities. Rob Mooy photo
News — South Frontenac roadways were on Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth’s main agenda at Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. In particular, Segsworth is ‘disappointed’ with the way people are treating the new parking regulations in the hamlet of Sydenham, especially near the high school in handicapped spots and even in the crosswalk. “Despite signs and red bricks, people are still parking in front of the high school, seriously compromising accessibility, pedestrian safety and sight lines,” he said. “Apparently we’re not going to get there with moral ‘suasion and it’s going to require enforcement.” To that end, Segsworth recommended passage of a parking bylaw amendment, which would result in $300 fines. He said he came to this conclusion after consultation with the Tri-Board Bus Line, the principal of Sydenham High School and the bylaw enforcement officer. “Additional signage will be required to delineate the parking stalls,” he said. “Sufficient funds exist in the 2016 operating budget for this purpose. “For greater clarity, all three accessible parking spot signs in the village will have supplementary signage added to clearly indicate the set fine.” There was also some discussion as to what to do about people still parking on the sidewalk in front of the Post Office and a truck-

loading zone by the One-Stop and Trousdale’s General Store. Segsworth also told Council that the Public Services Committee approved changes to the capital budget that will make replacing culverts on Westport Road near Fermoy this fall possible. The Desert Lake Causeway culverts had been scheduled for this fall but additional analysis required to obtain a permit meant that project has to be postponed until next year. Segsworth said that he believes the Westport Road project can be completed this fall providing a contractor can be found. “It will likely require a full 72-hour road closure, and because of school bus traffic, this will have to be done over a weekend,” he said. “There is a PA day Oct. 28 which would give a contractor three full days to complete the work.” Segsworth said it’s possible a contractor may be able to finish the job in two days but it’s more likely the road will be closed around Fermoy from Oct. 28 to Oct. 30. He said detours will be designated both along Burridge Road to Mountain Road and Salem Road to Desert Lake Road. “But local residents will likely find their own routes,” he said. Segsworth also said that because the Gilmour Point Access Road project was completed in house last December “while we were not experiencing winter” funds are available and will be applied to complete the track and landscaping at The Point Football Field.

2 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, September 15, 2016
South Frontenac ENDING ST SEPTEMBER 21 looking for individuals to monitor subdivision SUMMER compliance UP % TO OFF
News — A proposal to hire a consultant on a month-to-month basis to monitor the status and compliance with approval conditions of subdivisions was put on hold at last week’s regular South Frontenac Council meeting in Sydenham to allow staff to explore options and possibilities. The matter should come back before Council at the Oct. 4 meeting. The concept came before Council this time in the form of a notice of motion from Coun. Ron Sleeth with the possibility of issuing a request for proposal for services. The matter had first been raised at a meeting in March, when CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr had expressed concern that the Township possessed insufficient resources to proactively monitor developers’ compliance with all subdivision and condominium agreements. “Typically, draft conditions are met before the approval authority (the County) finalizes the approval and lots or units can be registered,” Orr said in his report. “Where the approval authority is willing, conditions that can or have not been met are incorporated in the subdivision or condominium agreement with the Township as a condition of approval. “This further binds the developer to comply with these requirements.” Orr said that for things like municipal type work (roads, signage, lighting, grading) the Township takes securities and developers willingly comply. Where it becomes more difficult, he said, is where conditions arise out of a study. “In these cases, staff look for the developer to provide written confirmation by the consultant that such conditions have been met (and) gener-
ally there is no security for these types of works or restrictions,” he said. “The secondary challenge is that these type of conditions may be altered well beyond the initial period of development by either the developer as he finishes a project or by owners who seek to do their own ‘improvements’. “In both cases, these would be contrary to the agreements and are not easily tracked.” He said a time commitment for a potential consultant to monitor compliance cannot be determined and as such the overall cost is both unknown and potentially unlimited. Still, Sleeth felt the costs could be justified. “I think this is imperative,” he said. “Obviously we don’t have the manpower but we need to give the public some level of comfort.” “There is an appetite for this in the community,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “In the last 10 years, we’ve gone from severing lots to more subdivisions and I think this would help until we get a new planning manager in place.” However, Mayor Ron Vandewal was not in favour. “We cannot give one instance where Council failed to monitor or follow-up, maybe not as quickly as some would like,” Vandewal said. “I do not see the need.” Coun, Alan Revill suggested there might be individuals in the community willing to take this on and moved deferral so staff could explore the possibility.

Robinson’s Council seat likely to be declared vacant Dec. 20
News — It was the debate nobody on South Frontenac Council wanted to have but in the end, Coun. Bill Robinson’s seat will be declared vacant Dec. 20 if he is un-
able to return. Robinson, South Frontenac’s longest serving Council member (since December 2000), fell and broke his hip Feb. 19 and has not been able to attend a meeting since. He (along with Coun. John McDou-
gall) represents Portland District. Council approved an extended absence with pay for Robinson earlier this year. That extended absence was up Sept. 6. Reluctantly, Council voted not to extend the authorized absence

meaning that on Dec. 15, Robinson will have been absent for three months without authorization and under the Municipal Act, the seat must be declared vacant. At that time, the Municipal Act allows Council several options including an election and appointing a replacement. Robinson could also voluntarily resign from Council before that time. He will be paid up to Sept. 15. “I recognize all the many contributions Coun. Robinson has made to South Frontenac but the time has come,” said Coun. Alan Revill. Mayor Ron Vandewal also was displaying mixed emotions but felt a decision had to be made. “I just didn’t want it to make it like we pass this and it’s over,” Vandewal said. ••• Council gave its approval to a zoning change that would allow the current auto sales operation on the triangle shaped lot on Road 38 at the south end of Harrowsmith to move its operations to the old Harrowsmith Cheese Factory location on Rutledge Road. Planner Lindsay Mills said the use conforms to the Township Of-
ficial Plan and although the former cheese factory property does contain wetlands, only the northwest corner would be used for the auto sales and service operation. Coun. John McDougall asked about an environmental study done years ago but Mills said while there was a study done, it was done privately by a potential buyer who walked away from the project. “I never saw the study,” he said. “I think this is an appropriate use of this property,” said Coun. Ron Sleeth. “I think it’s an improvement for Harrowsmith,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. ••• A proposal from Frontenac County to share communications services met with a resounding ‘meh’ from South Frontenac. “I recommend we just receive this without endorsement,” said Coun. John McDougall. “I think our communications are better served in-house,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “I think it smells much like the County wants to hire two people and they want us to fund one position,” said Coun. Ron Sleeth.

After a roundabout discussion, $10,000 for Canada 150 celebrations supported By Craig Bakay
News — Proposals from area recreation committees were met with disapproval from South Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham and directions given that all such proposals are to come from the South Frontenac Rec Committee. However, just because they come from South Frontenac Rec doesn’t mean they’ll be automatically rubber stamped either. “I have a difficult time with motions coming directly to Council,” said Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “They should be deferred to the South Frontenac Rec Committee. “I don’t want to deal with a skateboard park until we know what the survey says.” “I agree the rec committee recommendations are supposed to go through South Frontenac Rec,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “That was the process set up some time ago and they’re circumventing that.” In particular, there were three recommendations from Portland Rec Council was asked to approve: a $10,000 request for Canada 150 being organized by the Harrowsmith and District Social and Athletic Club, $5,000 for a study on a skateboard park and a request to look at purchasing land for future development of Centennial Park in Harrowsmith. As things turned out however, the $10,000 for Canada Day request also showed up on South Frontenac Rec’s requests. “If we pass this, are we on the hook for $10,000?” asked Coun. Alan Revill. “You’d be effectively pre-approving a $10,000 budget line,” Awards founder Paul Pospisil (l) presents the Woodman Trophy to champion Denis Craigen of Newburgh at the 20th Anniversaid CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. “The $10,000 might be appropriate but I’d like to see a bud- sary Eastern Ontario Garlic Awards in Verona last weekend.

Magic “Star Stuff ” coming to Kingston

“Nothing is forever. That’s the rule. Everything ends. And so our story begins.” So opens of one of the most brilliant, inventive and funny
plays to hit Broadway in the past several decades, and the show is coming to Kingston. Peter and the Starcatcher is set to open at the Baby Grand Theatre on January 17, 2017. In the few days since last week’s column featuring Madeleine (Maddy) Schaefer Scovil, Blue Canoe Productions announced that Schaefer Scovil will direct the award-winning Peter
and the Starcatcher. The show promises to take the audience to Neverland and far beyond. Peter and the Starcatcher is a magical adventure about endings, beginnings and never-endings. It’s about growing up and saying goodbye and it’s about staying young forever. “It’s the grown up prequel to the Peter Pan story,” said Schaefer Scovil. “It follows the story

of an orphan boy who, over the course of the play, becomes the boy who never grew up that we all know as Peter Pan, perhaps in a way we’ve never imagined.” The story is one of the few Broadway shows that I’ve ever seen three times. The first time I saw it, I knew little about it aside from the prequel premise. By the end, I knew I’d just experienced one of the most intelligent plays I’ve ever seen. “Peter and the Starcatcher takes place in a world in which there is this powerful Star Stuff,” said Schaefer Scovil. Think pixie dust. Celia Keenan-Bolger, who owned the role of Molly (the Starcatcher) on Broadway (and played the role of Peter Pan in the eponymous show while she was still in high school in Michigan), explained Star Stuff: “In the telling of this story, little bits of stars fall to earth and they are called Star Stuff,” said Keenan-Bolger. “Whoever touches Star Stuff becomes whatever they want to be. So if you are really evil and hungry for world domination then you get that. And if you want to stay a boy forever then you get that. A Starcatcher’s job is to make sure that Star Stuff doesn’t get into the hands of the wrong people.” “Boy gets involved and has to protect Star Stuff from Black Stache, who will go on to become Hook,” said Schaefer Scovil. “Boy meets Molly, a Hermione-esque girl.” Molly is precocious and feisty, which is a good thing because her adventures take her and her father’s ship, The Neverland, through lands of mermaids, pirates, and jungles. Throw in a massive storm along the way and this girl needs some serious mettle to survive. At some future time beyond the play she’ll also give birth to the beloved Wendy. Continued on page 7

Magic “Star Stuff” coming to Kingston Continued from page 6
Christian Borle played Stache on Broadway. That’s no easy role to fill. The actor selected in Kingston will have a huge responsibility of winning the audience with his cunning but ever so charmingly dastardly ways. The Boy (Peter) role will require an actor with diverse skills. “[Boy is] such a great part for any actor,” said Schaefer Scovil. “The amount of transformation he goes through, it will be a great learning experience for a lucky performer here in Kingston. As for Molly, this role will require an actor with the stage experience and skill to fill the theatre with both innocence and an awe-inspiring sense of adventure. On Broadway, Celia Keenan-Bolger captivated audiences as Molly. No one can ever top Keenan-Bolger, who in her thirties successfully won (and broke and healed) hearts as 13-year-old Molly. Schaefer Scovil hopes to find someone who can match Keenan-Bolger’s beloved Molly. “In a good way, Molly doesn’t have the hangups of being a girl,” said Keenan-Bolger. “She’s super bright and a bit bossy. But with the orphans, one of whom becomes Peter Pan, she really takes care of them. In this Peter Pan telling the woman is strong. Molly is such a good role model for young girls.” She also ex-

The script will have you roaring with laughter at one moment and later you’ll be deeply moved and touched by the depth of emotion in the show. The final time I saw this show, I was with my daughters, Emily and Maureen. At the end, I’m pretty sure we were all dabbing the tears in our eyes as Molly says goodbye to Boy. “It has to hurt,” Molly tells Boy. “That’s how you know it mattered.” You’ll often see the phrase, “Good for all ages” applied to a movie or play. What that usually means is children will love it and adults probably won’t be too bored. There’s no boredom for adults watching Peter and the Starcatcher. Children will love the imaginativeness and playfulness of the show. Adults will watch in wonder and be enthralled by the depth, the symbolism and the humor winding its way through the play. “What’s wonderful about this show is its appeal to children and adults alike,” said Schaefer Scovil. “A lot of the jokes are for older audiences, but there’s so much to love from a young perspective. What I like even more about appealing to a younger audience is that there’s so much to love from a younger perspective. They’ll see it and think it’s something they could do themselves. If you want kids to become involved
in theatre, they’ll see Peter and the Starcatcher and think, ‘Hey, I cold be involved in something like this.’” She said she hopes to replicate some of the staging from the original show. “To be honest, I plan on stealing quite a few ideas from the original production,” said Schaefer Scovil. “I want to make good use of the space of the Baby Grand. It’s interesting with the balcony and stairs and little alcoves. I’m looking forward to a really creative process with the cast. A lot of it is going to be about the actors. It will be up to them to transport the audience. It’s going to be about good storytelling.” Schaefer Scovil isn’t sure what the makeup of the cast and creative team will look like as auditions are just in process. She knows she’ll be working with music director Ryan Cowl, who also worked with Schaefer Scovil in both Chicago and The House of Martin Guerre. The rest of the cast and crew will be selected over the next month. Three key roles to fill will be Molly, Boy/Peter and Black Stache. Beyond that, Schaefer Scovil has to select 12 top-notch actors who will play multiple roles, with their primary responsibilities being as pirates or orphans. Each role in the play is crucial, so you end up with what feels like an ensemble of lead actors.

In Our Opinion
Toronto Fan Expo 2016, what a trip that was
Column — OK, I’m officially one of the 150,000 people or so whose minds were officially blown at last weekend’s Fan Expo in Toronto’s Convention Centre. For the uninitiated, Fan Expo is essentially a way for greedy types to squeeze a lot of dollars out of the wallets of nerds, geeks and freaks who live for all things sci-fi, fantasy, and comic booky. In other words, I had a blast. First of all, yes, I did get Stan Lee’s autograph (a birthday present from my darling daughter and her husband) but I’m saving that story for next week’s column. Second, I was a nerd/geek long before they had a name for it. I like to think now I’m kind of a geekus emeritus and yes, at any one given moment may have been the oldest freak in the crowd. I did dress up on the Saturday, dig-
ging out my trusty Gandalf the OffWhite costume for the event. The only problem was that because of the “Prop Check” policy, I didn’t bother with a staff because all of mine are carved wood (I refuse to go plastic) and they just don’t let you wander around with things like that at a fan convention. Also, it was a tad warm in there and wearing the cape became a bit of an issue. (The temperature didn’t seem to bother the hard-core cosplayers though.) As such, and something I wasn’t prepared for was a lot of people thought I was Jesus — seriously. But after several people wanted their picture taken with ‘Jesus’ I decided just to go with the flow, adopting “bless you my son” and “pax vobiscum” as operating mantras. After I thought about it though, being mistaken for a guy in his early 30s is a lot more flattering than being recognized as a character who is old as dirt. There are many aspects of these things from forum discussions to autograph/photo ops with sci-fi celebrities to buying all sorts of crap you really don’t need. But being an old guy, I needed to

sit rather frequently and that’s probably when I discovered what might just be the most enjoyable fan-con activity — geek watching. You see, sitting on the floor with your back against a round pillar, you are treated to a never ending parade of superheroes, zombies, Pokemon, Starfleet officers, jedi, wizards, witches and things that simply defy description. By far and away, the most popular character depicted was Harley Quinn, of which I counted 228 different aspects (Harley No. 228 spotted on the way out was a ‘Granny Quinn’ who probably shouldn’t have opted for the Suicide Squad hot pants outfit but hey, she looked like she was having a good time). In all, I’d estimate that more than a third of the attendees dressed up (with varying degrees of success) and while there were slightly more males than females in the crowd, more than half of the females were in costume. Best exhibit? The Fear The Walking Dead Flight 462 set where you could get a photo being attacked by a zombie — for free and they had attendants to operate your camera.

Planning for emergencies is always important Editorial – For many, September means a return to normal routines. Kids go back to school and most adults finish up their vacations. This return to routine is also a good time to think about establishing new routines and more importantly, thinking about how prepared we all are for emergencies. This fall, The City of Kingston’s office of emergency management is encouraging families to use the back-to-school transition as a time to develop their emergency plan. “Planning together for emergencies helps your family feel prepared. Make sure everyone knows what should happen in the event of an emergency,” says Scott Davis, community emergency management coordinator in a release from the City of Kingston. When developing your emergency plan the city offers these tips: • Choose two emergency contacts - These are they people you contact to help reunite you with your family in the event of an emergency. Choose a local contact and an out-of-town contact. • Choose an emergency meeting place - This is a child-friendly place, like a grocery store, where you will meet in an emergency. If your child is with a caregiver, he or she should remain with the caregiver during an emergency. - Meet your community support network - Make sure your child is introduced to adults in roles who can be trusted to help them in an emergency, including police officers, nurses, doctors, teachers and firefighters. • Prepare for risks facing Kingston - Review and understand the possible emergencies that could affect Kingston. These include: utility disruptions, extreme weather, fire, hazardous spills and health emergencies. Having an emergency plan is also important as weather transitions and we move into the colder months. For more about preparing for emergencies, go to www.CityofKingston.ca/ GetReady to find resources to help you plan.

Letter to the editor This is an answer to the Frontenac Gazette Aug. 11, Re: changes coming to Holleford Rd Intersections. Maybe the public works manager and the reeve do not know that Holleford Road is a Heritage Road and it has been the main road from Hwy 38 to Desert Lake Rd for over 150 years. It was the first road to be hard topped and all the side roads were gravel. Back in the early 1980’s we had accidents and problems with the intersection by VanLuven Road. We had a problem with people driving through the Intersection and they ended up in the field through the fence on Babcock farm. The stop sign was at the end of VanLuven Road. The Township built a wider Intersection to continue up Holleford Road. Mrs Babcock gave us a piece of her field to make the corner safer for the amount of traffic travelling Holleford Road. Many big trucks and tractor trailers with feed for farmer’s plus fire trucks, oil and gas trucks, gravel trucks, milk trucks, plus half tons with camper trailers attached going to Desert Lake by Holleford Road. There has not been an accident at this corner for over 35 years as VanLuven Road is less travelled and had a yield sign plus a warn-
ing yield. No one has every complained until last year and this year as the Lead hand at Portland didn’t cut the weeds, hay and brush inside the intersection and no one could see oncoming traffic from the right. Silver Tongued Segsworth and the Mayor really mislead the Township council saying Holleford traffic crossed the path of VanLuven. Vanluven traffic saw the yield ahead sign and the yield sign, and always yielded to the traffic coming from the right on the main Road. The only big problem was they could not see due to the brush and long grass as we always kept it cut for a clear view. A stop sign here would have saved Taxpayers a lot of money, but instead they decided to tear out the new corner we built years ago. Before they decided to do this do you not think they should have asked the retired Road super, the former Reeve or Mayor, or the deputy fire chief of this district? Now most of the big shots come from the city of Kingston or another district. The next corner at Trousdale and Holleford Road is a real joke. They put a stop sign on Holleford Road instead of Trousdale Road. Mr. Segsworth said “we really touched a nerve in the community”. It’s true as many
people and especially the truckers are mad because Trousdale Road has only 10 houses – very little traffic. Holleford Road has roughly 95 houses plus people travelling to Hwy 38 from Desert Lake Road, Deyo Road, and Deer Park subdivision. Does this Public Works Manager really care? We are all amazed (from the Gazette) that the Mayor got up and helped Mr.Segsworth to support the change in the Road with visual aide support. There are 15 farms on Holleford Road, four dairy farms and 11 beef farms. Some of the residents on this road said to phone their councillor’s for support which we did and only got help from one and he wasn’t even from our district. Where did common sense go? Remember this quote “Our democracy is not carried forward.” If this was the case at Trousdale Road why isn’t there a stop sign at the north end of Portland Loborough Boundry Road coming from the north off VanLuven Road as Knowlton Lake Road goes straight through? From Pete Redmond, Retired Road Super, and Bill Babcock Deputy Fire Chief Portland

Rad Kids Farm Camp has another successful year Aric McBay
Out Standing in our Field
This summer our farm hosted our second annual kids’ camp, run by Marie Bencze of Rad Kids. For three weeks this summer we had twelve kids running around the farm learning how to take care of chickens and feed cows, how make yogurt and compost, and where to find different plants and wildlife. The kids, mostly aged 5-11, had a blast. Camp coordinator Marie Bencze organized a full slate of farm and nature activities each day, teaching the kids both farm skills and respect for the land and each other. It was fascinating to see how kids try to understand and internalize the rules of new situations. They were especially interested in how to interact with different animals, such as the cows. Every day the kids would see the dairy cows being moved around by our border collie, Meg. Meg was an endless source of excitement for the kids, who showered her with attention—sometimes to the detriment of Meg’s herding duties. The kids wanted to learn all of Meg’s different herding commands. And they wanted to act them out. One group of kids made up their own herding game, in which one child would
play the dog, and the others would play a herd of cows. Then they herd each other from activity to activity. They also came to understand and respect different parts of farm work, including the work done by our dog Meg. After we asked them—I think a couple of times—not to distract Meg by calling her while she was herding, the kids devised and acted out an elaborate skit. In the skit, a “herding dog” (played by a kid, of course) was distracted from its work by a group of yelling children. As a result, in this morality play, one of the “cows” (a kid) was eaten by a “coyote” (another kid). The chickens, however, were probably the favourite animals to visit. Chickens are perfectly sized livestock for children; small enough to pick up, and big enough to be interesting. Feeding chickens was the most poultry popular activity, especially once the kids realized the chickens would eat over-ripe cucumbers out of their hands. Collecting eggs was a close second. The success of the camp was due to the energy and diverse skill sets of those involved. Our photographer-inresidence, Andree Thorpe, documented events and lent each of the kids a tiny digital camera to use themselves. Each of the farmers here dedicated
some of their time to different activities—from dairy farming to soil science—and many volunteers and guest presenters joined us as well.
Rad Kids showed me how children can have a very fun and educational time on a farm, and we’ll look forward to hosting them again next year.
You can learn more about the camp at radkidsblog.wordpress.com. Aric McBay is a farmer and author based on Howe Island.

Making strides towards melanoma prevention, detection and support tstafford@metroland.com
Events – It’s one of the most common types of cancer found in those aged 15 to 29; it claims approximately one life in North America every hour, and, chances are, you’ve known at least one person it’s affected. It’s melanoma – a serious form of skin cancer, and its leading cause is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. That’s why it’s important to raise awareness and education around detection and prevention of melanoma, and why Strides for Melanoma in support of the Melanoma Network of Canada (MNC) is coming to Kingston. Strides for Melanoma is a 5km fundraising walk that will take place in 16 communities across Canada. For the first time, the event is coming to Kingston, and, while raising funds for the MNC helps allow the organization to support individuals affected by the disease, the event is important for a number of reasons, explained local co-ordinator, Liz Watson. “I think one of the biggest things is raising awareness. We’re not focusing specifically on the number of walkers or the number of dollars raised, but it is about getting people out and getting people to understand more about melanoma – its prevention, its detection and the treatments
and supports available to those it’s affected,� Watson said. The first annual Strides for Melanoma walk will take place on Sunday, Sept. 25 at Rotary Park. Although the walk is intended to be for 5km, Watson underlined the fact that those who are unable to walk 5km are more than welcome to attend and join in because “every stride helps.�
“The more people know about melanoma, the more easily it can be prevented and detected,� she said. “A lot of frontline research is done here in Kingston, but we want people to know there are a lot of patient support programs, too.� With roughly 6,800 people diagnosed with melanoma in Canada in 2015, the need for support and awareness is clear. Unlike other forms of skin cancer, melanoma is visible, and, when detected early, is
often treatable. Despite this, the rates of melanoma cases are still climbing in Canada, which is why the MNC’s pledge to educate about prevention and detection is so valuable. For Watson, taking on the role of co-ordinator for Strides for Melanoma was a choice that hit close to home, and why she felt it was so crucial to bring the event to Kingston. “I think we all see posts and stories every day about how cancer touches everybody,� Watson expressed. “For me, melanoma was something that I lost my grandmother to, whom I was very close

AGAWA CANYON OCT 1-5 (Submitted) Despite the fact that melanoma can be prevented and is more easily treatable when detected early, rates of the disease in Canadians continue to climb. Strides for Melanoma aims to raise funds for the Melanoma Network of Canada, as well as awareness about preventing and detecting the disease, which struck an estimated 6,800 Canadians last year alone.

Fourth Annual Limestone City Car Classic Brad Smith polishes up his 1956 Jaguar XK-140, during the fourth annual Limestone City Car Classic, at Lake Ontario Park, Sept. 3. Smith says, his wife always loved this style of car and when this one came available he bought it for her 40th birthday. It was nothing more than a rust bucket when he obtained the car, one that most considered not worth restoring. But, after 20 years of hard work, this beautiful piece of automotive history, lovingly named Gracie by his wife, has become a popular attraction at car shows all over the province. Rob Mooy photo

United Way announces campaign goal of over $3.4 million for 2016
tstafford@metroland.com
News – The United Way may be celebrating 75 years of history in the Kingston area, but it was with an eye to the future that this year’s campaign goal was announced on Friday, Sept. 9. The annual United Way KFL&A campaign kick-off breakfast saw hundreds of community leaders, local politicians, front-line workers and United Way supporters and volunteers come together as the local United Way announced their goal for the 2016 campaign. Up 1.5 per cent from last year’s goal, this year’s goal of $3,451,000 is “a really good and achievable goal,” said campaign chair Brigadier General
Stephen Kelsey, addressing the crowd via video message, as he is currently deployed. “Sadly, I can’t be there with you. As these things go, duty calls, but it doesn’t diminish the enthusiasm I have for today’s event and the kickoff breakfast for the United Way,” said Kelsey, who currently serves as base commander for CFB Kingston. “We’ve got lots of exciting things happening this year, we’ve got a lot of new folks involved… It’s not just about the money, it’s about the involvement in our community, and it’s about making a difference right here in Kingston.” This year’s campaign runs until November 9th, with funds raised supporting a network of agencies
throughout Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. Last year, those agencies served 75,000 people in the area, addressing the needs of children and youth, physical and mental health services, poverty reduction, and neighbourhood revitalization. Over 17,600 children were given support with schoolwork, and over 3,00 area kids had a place to go after school; 17,379 people were connected to the health services they required, with over 5,000 receiving help with mental
health issues; Over 11,500 people were able to access affordable and nutritious food, and 5,526 experienced decreased stress related to food security. Now, the goal is to ensure even more of the same continues throughout the area. Mayor Bryan Patterson encouraged and thanked both the local United Way and the countless volunteers and agen-
cies that continue to make Kingston a “vibrant community,” and expressed the value of the financial contributions that come in through the annual campaign. “We really are investing in our community,” he said. To find out more about the United Way KFL&A and how to donate, go to www.unitedwaykfla.ca.

(Photo Submitted) In 1980, Terry Fox became a Canadian icon and a symbol of hope and strength in the fight against cancer, embarking on a cross-Canada run after having lost a leg to the disease. While Fox lost his battle before completing his quest, millions of Canadians have come together year after year to continue to support his cause and uphold his legacy. Kingston’s Terry Fox Run 2016 will take place on Sunday, Sept. 18
and one that brings communities together for a common cause that touches so many – fighting cancer. This is precisely what came to mind when Kristi Murphy saw a retweet from The City of Kingston just over three weeks ago. That message was one from the Terry Fox Foundation pleading for someone to step up and organize this year’s run here in Kingston. “I thought ‘This needs to happen. This needs to continue,’” said Murphy, who was born and raised in Kingston and also has some public event planning experience from her years living in Ottawa. “I have some background in organizing events along the same lines, and I have participated in the Terry Fox Run since 1986, so it wasn’t a far stretch for me,” said Murphy, who’s spent the last three weeks planning an event most organizations or cities spend months ironing out. “I think Terry Fox is one of the greatest Canadians… his story is very down to earth: He was a young kid that just wanted to make a difference.” Like many Canadians, Murphy’s life has also been touched by cancer numerous times, with her father, grandmother and four aunts and uncles having battled the disease. And with the opportunity to maintain a deserving tradition in her hometown, Murphy rose to occasion and is making it happen. Continued on page 15

A Canadian tradition: Started by Terry, continued by everyone Continued from page 14
The 36th annual Terry Fox Run here in Kingston will take place on Sunday, Sept. 18 – a date Kingston City Council recently voted to declare Terry Fox Run Day. The event is open to those wishing to run, walk, bike or rollerblade, and is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible, as well as dog friendly. Participants can register as individuals or in teams, with registration open right up to minutes before the run begins. Pre-registration is available online, as well as through the Terry Fox Foundation app, which is available through the iTunes store, Murphy explained. There is no registration fee, nor a minimum donation/pledge rate. Those who preregister can accept and track pledges online through the app. “What’s really remarkable is that, with the Terry Fox Foundation, 84 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research, which is on of the highest rates in all national charities in Canada,” Murphy emphasized. “It’s wonderful. And Kingston itself is just shy of hitting the $1 million mark for funds raised through all of the Terry Fox Runs!”
The day’s events will take place at St. Lawrence College, and kick off at 8:15 a.m. when the registration desk will open. Opening ceremonies will begin at 8:45 a.m., followed by a warm-up at 8:50 a.m., and the run, commencing at 9 a.m. It’s all part of keeping Terry Fox’s legacy alive, and working towards finding the cure for cancer, Murphy expressed. “One of the things that Terry said was that when he was going through cancer treatment, he saw the pain and suffering of everybody else that was there. Everybody was going through the same thing and… he didn’t want to see that pain and suffering continue, he wanted to be part of the solution,” said Murphy. “It’s a few hours one day a year out of your life, and it makes a huge impact, and it’s important that the atmosphere of grassroots causes and communities coming together to help find a cure for this continues.” To find out more about this year’s Terry Fox Run, visit www.terryfox.org, click on ‘Terry Fox Run,’ and select your province and city. Those with questions and those wanting to volunteer during the event can contact Murphy directly at terryfoxrunkingston@gamil.com.

The couple’s younger daughter was accepted into the Quinte Ballet School and spent her mornings at KCVI in Kingston and her afternoons at the prestigious ballet school in Belleville. “I was the ferry who got her there six days a week,” said Fussell. Now Fussell is one of the Tett8, the group of Creativty Studio artists at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. After moving to Kingston in 2013, she heard about the Tett Centre in the news. She’d become friends with fellow artist, sculptor Patricia Van Asperen. “We’d both participated in Your Own Grad School at Modern Fuel.

A few years ago artist Peggy Fussell’s life seemed set. She lived in Baltimore, loved her job, loved her house and friends, her children were settled, and she figured she’d spend the rest of her life in Maryland. Life had other plans. Her husband landed an interview at Queen’s University. Fussell had no intention of moving and didn’t want her husband to even consider the position. Why
mess with their perfect life? But he convinced her to join him on the trip to Kingston to just check things out. “I fell in love with Kingston and went from ‘there’s no way I’m moving’ to ‘I hope you get this job.’” Everything about the city and region appealed to her. “Coming into town felt nice, the size of it, the walkability, everything,” she said. “Then I saw Modern Fuel on Queen Street. I saw the lettering and loved the sign. Then when I found it was an artist-run centre, I felt at home in Kingston so quickly.” But their children were another story. One was entering her last year of high school and one was about

They now share a studio in the Tett Centre. “My art is a bunch of different things,” said Fussell. “I used to try to tie them all together, but not so much anymore. I’m primarily an illustrator. I love taking content and making something visual to go with it.” Recently, she’s been illustrating the poems of Dale Tracey. Fussell said she also loves doing editorial work. But her favorite work is that which allows free flowing artistic expression. “I like to draw conversations,” said Fussell. “It’s hard to describe to people. I look at the flow of a conversation and draw what I think are the highlights. It helps me solidify the tension and feel of the room. I draw things using line and color.” Fussell also likes working with people. “I do a lot of collaborative workshops,” she said. “I have in the past worked on big interactive pieces that people contribute to and these pieces are usually temporary and last as long as the festival or activity runs.” She’s wants to get back into animation and is working on an piece based on a photograph of her grandparents. “I don’t usually work big, but this one is big. I’m purposely working on paper that’s very fragile and can be ripped. I’m sewing
on it. It’s going to be a quilt-looking piece. My grandmother was really into needlework and taught me.” Fussell explained that she will animate the piece in a minimal manner. Her grandparents are standing posing for the photos, but wind will be blowing, and things will be happening within the piece. Fussell does some painting and watercolors. “Another thing I like to do is paint miniature lamb cameos, as if they were miniatures from the 17th century.” Before coming to Kingston, Fussell worked for many years at Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. Before that she’d worked in Dallas, Texas and in New York City as an art director and graphic designer. “Art has always been part of my life since I was a little kid. I don’t know what life would be like without art. In our culture you learn about yourself through art. It’s especially good for kids who have always been told what to do. It gives someone time for reflection to figure out what they like and don’t like.” She explained that young people today are under so much pressure that art is a place where they can learn to trust their own instincts and impressions. “Art develops strength of character. The arts in schools gives a sense of community, and if you have a sense of community, they are less likely to let big corporations do something nasty to their community.”
She said that everyone should try creating art. “Find the medium and subject matter you like. Learn through drawing and art. It gives you a new perspective if you are studying something like history.” Fussell, along with Van Asperen, is currently running a needlepoint drop-in program at the Tett Centre. The program is called One Needle Social Stitching. Participants can bring whatever they are working on or they can start something new. The program is offered twice a month, on the first Wednesday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. or the fourth Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Drop in to the Creativity Studios Common Area The artists spend time at the beginning of the drop-in helping participants learn a new stitch. They have some supplies for people who would like to try it out. The last hour and a half of each sessions involves free time to work on your own projects. Fussell said that it’s a great chance to learn from more seasoned stitchers and help teach those newer participants who are present. To find out more about the One Needle Social Stitching program, check out Events on the Tett Centre website (tettcentre.org).

Fireflies became a cruel game for the brothers They were everywhere. Glowing in the dark of the night. I wasn’t frightened of them. I was frightened for them. They were the many fireflies that came out in the heat of the summer and once darkness had settled in, they flitted around, not that far from the ground... many little glowing lights, no doubt unaware of the danger awaiting them. I once was frightened by the fireflies, but then my sister Audrey said they were simply tiny pieces of stars broken off by unseen angels and sent down to bring light in the darkness. That made perfect sense to me, and certainly eliminated any fear I had of them. What didn’t make sense to me, and filled my veins with ice water, was how my three brothers could murder those harmless little flies. They were easy to catch, because they seemed to land on an arm, unaware of what lay in store for them. And this is when
my three brothers would commit their murderous act, so that the poor creatures could no longer fly. They actually ripped the little bodies apart, and put the small pieces of glowing light up and down their arms, until they looked like they were carrying many tiny little flashlights. Then the brothers would tear around the yard like people possessed! They would yell and laugh, enjoying their murderous acts. I covered my ears with my hands, so I couldn’t hear them, and pleaded with Mother to stop their cruel acts, but that got me nowhere. I would stay in the house, praying for Mother to say it was time to get ready for bed, and avoided even looking out the kitchen window, just in case I saw what was going on in the back yard. Finally, it was bedtime. Mother went to the door, hit the wooden spoon against the tin disc that hung on a nail, and used to call everyone in for meals, and one by one the brothers headed into the house, leaving the evidence of what they had been up to outside. They were still talking about what a great night it had been when they had their glass of milk and cookie, and again, I put my hands

Queen’s breaks Guinness World Record to kick off school year By Tori Stafford
tstafford@metroland.com
News – It took over 3,000 participants and likely close to 1,000 organizers and support staff, but Queen’s University now officially holds a Guinness World Record. As the sun beat down on Nixon Field Tuesday, Sept. 6, students, staff, and community members lined up in front of Kingston Hall and all the way down University Avenue to be part of the attempt to take the record for largest human letter. With the ‘Q’ already outlined, the largely student-based group were given gold Queen’s Tshirts as they walked onto Nixon Field, and took their places. The ‘Q’ quickly filled out, and with a total of 3, 373 people on the field, Queen’s became a Guinness World Record holder. The previous record, held by Dell Technologies, involved 2,166 people who created the ‘E’ Dell uses as a logo, and took place in Round Rock, Texas. The previous record was set only months early on June 22, 2016, and was “handsomely broken by Queen’s today,” according to Christina Conlon, adjudicator for Guinness
World Records. “I was beyond impressed with the way everything was organized today. They were far ahead of schedule, they had everything better marked out, more detailed than we even ask for, which… I guarantee you, we do not put light requirements and restrictions,” Conlon said following the five minutes participants were required to hold the ‘Q’ for in order to break the record. “It is very hard to break these records, so to have broken it so soundly, and to have made it so easy for a massparticipation event like this, which are historically the most difficult and the most likely to be failures, it was so impressive.” Conlon, who adjudicates attempts to break world records throughout North and South America, has witnessed record-making in progress for a huge variety of things, including the recent record for largest fireworks display on New Year’s Eve in the Philippines, and even the largest toy pistol fight, Exactly 3, 373 people took to Nixon Field on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016, in an attempt to break the Guinness which took place in Cowboy Stadium World Record for ‘largest human letter.’ Tori Stafford/Metroland in Dallas, TX – an event she calls one of the weirdest she’s adjudicated.

It’s probably safe to give latest Statham offering a pass By: Mark Haskins’
I suppose if you’re in the Jason Statham fan club you’re under an obligation to see The Mechanic:
Resurrection. Otherwise I think it’s safe to skip it. After faking his death Bishop (Jason Statham) has tried to live a quieter life. Of course that can’t last, or there’s no movie. Crain (Sam Hazeldine), an enemy from Bishop’s past, has found him and is forc-

ing him to do three assassinations. How does one force the world’s deadliest assassin to do anything? Easy, you set him up with the beautiful Gina (Jessica Alba). You then kidnap the beautiful Gina, and hold her hostage until Bishop does the job. The best part is even though Bishop knows that is what’s happening he’s still going to try and save her.
This leaves Bishop with three men to kill. Each one is heavily guarded, and impossible to get to. Each one is a perfect example of human scum, and all the assassinations have to look like accidents. This is what Bishop does, and why we bought a ticket to see the movie. The Mechanic: Resurrection or Transporter 7 or whatever it is suffers from what a lot of sequels suffer from. Statham has gone to this well a lot, and it’s probably at least three times too many. Statham is the deadly assassin who has to take on the almost as deadly villain in order to save the girl. Throw in some intricate assassinations, and some cool fight scenes, and you have every action movie Statham has ever done. The film does have its moments. The director finds every excuse possible to have Statham and Alba in their bathing suits. The action sequences are pretty slick. There’s a reason why Statham keeps making these films after all. The story is weak at best, but who goes to one of these films because of the deep

and meaningful writing? It adds up to an okay movie if you catch it on Netflix, but hardly worthy of the big screen. This isn’t what you’d call a character-driven film. It’s more important that the cast can throw a punch than deliver a line. That said, Michelle Yeoh and Tommy Lee Jones are pleasant surprises. Sam Hazeldine plays a stock villain like every other actor who has to play this same villain in all the other films. Jessica Alba makes an attempt to make her character something other than a plot device that needs to be saved, but it isn’t really a direction the film is prepared to go. After playing the character countless times Jason Statham is really good at it. He does tremendous stunt work, but it’s time to do something new. Some people like to see the same film over and over again. They like the familiarity. If you’re one of those people you should probably still avoid The Mechanic: Resurrection. Even you will be bored.
