Mountain Grove library addition goes over budget by about $66,600 By Craig Bakay

News — Central Frontenac Council decided to go ahead with the expansion of the new Mountain Grove Community Centre despite the cost going about $66,600 over budget (including engineering) at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. The addition is to house new library facilities. Fire Chief Bill Young told Council that the lowest bid came from Guy Saumure and Sons Construction Ltd. at $254,600 plus $33,098 HST for a total of $287,698. The next closest bid was from the Anglin Group Ltd. at $304,896 (including HST). There were two other bids that were more than $100,000 above the lowest bid. Council had set aside $110,000 for the project to match a $110,000 grant from Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. Mayor Frances Smith asked if there were any way to reduce costs for the 1,000 square foot building in order to bring it into line with the budget. “I don’t think so,” Young said. “It’s just a square.” Young did say that there didn’t seem to be any concerns or other additional costs to the existing building as the insulation was already in place and the septic system was designed with the addition in mind. “Saumure said they’re ready to go tomorrow once they get the approval,” Young said. “I don’t know what the

completion date might be.” In other fi re department developments, Young recommended that Council accept his proposal to go with Kingston Dispatch services over Smiths Falls. “At the Aug. 11 meeting, Council approved an agreement with Smiths Falls for dispatching services due to the increasing costs with Kingston Dispatch and poor communications,” Young said. “However the agreement was never signed because the City of Kingston Fire Chief and South Frontenac Fire Chief were in negotiations over the concerns Central Frontenac had. “Kingston Dispatch fees have decreased and are comparable to Smiths Falls (and) service area concerns have now been addressed.” Kingston Dispatch fees will now be $13,500 per year as opposed to Smiths Falls at $13,668, Young said. “Continuity with the Frontenacs would be held with having Kingston Dispatch provide services for all townships,” he said. “There will be no equipment or programming needed with Kingston Dispatch, as they are our current dispatch provider. “Once Kingston Dispatch found out we were planning to go with Smiths Falls, my phone started ringing. “They’re really trying to work with us now.” Young said there “are always going

to be some soft spots” when it comes to communications given the terrain involved but things should improve with the new system Kingston Dis-

patch has put in. Coun. Tom Dewey was a little concerned that “this is the first we’ve heard we were in negotiations.

“In hindsight, we probably should have been informed,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “But we did get a better deal.”

Mayor questions cost of range hood for Kennebec Hall By Craig Bakay

News — When Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven made his report on Township facilities at Central Frontenac’s regular Council meeting in Sharbot Lake last week, only one of nine current projects came under any kind of scrutiny. “Does a range hood really cost $20,000?” said Mayor Frances Smith, in reference to the new commercial range hood for Kennebec Hall. “When you see it, you’ll understand,” Neven said. “The firefighters

will tell you that you can’t put a price on a building not burning down.” “I’ll have to see it then,” said Smith. In other facilities: • A request for quotes has been issued for fencing and lighting at the new Olden Ball Field, with a budget of $37,965 and expected completion date of October-December • The $20,000 boat ramp repair for Big Gull Lake contract has been awarded with a September completion date expected • New shelving (budget of $31,000)

has been installed in the Parham Library Neven said they have also submitted six grant applications under the federal Canada 150 program including: • $113,052 for the Oliver Scott Memorial rink and building project in Sharbot Lake • $53,000 for the Thompson’s Cut multi-use trail • $50,000 for the new Olden Ball Field • $6,600 for the Kennebec Hall range hood

Not overfilling your box will make the contents more compact and less likely to fly around or the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down.

City buys prime west end waterfront land for future park space By Bill Hutchins

News – The City of Kingston has added another jewel to its waterfront park system with a major land purchase near Lemoine Point. The city will pay $1.55 million to purchase 7.2 hectares (18.6 acres) of land at 1243 Front Road. “It’s a pretty unique property. This type of waterfront land doesn’t come for sale in Kingston very often,” said veteran commercial real estate broker Martin Skolnick. Skolnick, who works for Cushman & Wakefield, completed the sale on be-

half of local philanthropists and United Way supporters John and Diana Weatherall, who have owned the Front Road property since the 1960s. “The seller was quite pleased the city was buying the land,” Skolnick added. The vacant west end land, featuring about 300 metres of water frontage, is located across the street from Norman Rogers Airport and near the southern entrance to the conservation area. Despite its prime location, the land has never been developed. “I’ve been selling real estate for 30 years and I’ve never sold a parcel like this one,” said Skolnick.

He says the property, with magnificent views of Lake Ontario, quickly attracted widespread interest from the development community when it was first listed for sale about two and a half months ago. “Interested parties submitted offers. It wasn’t a bidding war,” he explained. The real estate firm marketed the site with the potential to develop up to 71 residential lots. “We had parties from Toronto and Kingston interested in subdivision or estate lots.” Skolnick says he also contacted city officials to see if they were interested in making an offer. “I was glad they acted as quickly as they did.” What may have tipped the balance in favour of the municipal offer over private development interests was the city’s intent to add the property to its public parks inventory, he added.

“It’s more than just price we consider. There are factors like who’s the buyer, their ability to close the deal, any conditions of purchase. Those all go into the mix,” Skolnick explained. The city recently adopted a Waterfront Master Plan that lays out strategies to acquire important pieces of privately-owned waterfront land for future public access. The policy recommends spending nearly $65 million over the next 30 years to better connect residents to the city’s 280 kilometres of shoreline along Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River and the Rideau PV1 High

Canal system. Private lands around the southern portion of Lemoine Point are among those earmarked as “highly desirable” goals for either future acquisition or partnerships. The Front Road deal, which is expected to close in a couple of weeks, would be fi nanced through municipal capital reserve fund.

In Our Opinion

A moment or two with Stan Lee in the great autograph machine

Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As promised, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Part 2 of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report on the 2016 Fan Expo in Toronto over the Labour Day weekend. At 93, Stan Lee is still going strong and was clearly the biggest draw at the Fan Expo. While that might not be surprising to some (hey, he did kinda invent Marvel Comics along with some help from artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko), the Fan Expo did also feature heavyweights Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) as well as Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward), three cast members from The Walking Dead, King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and just about every voice actress who ever worked on Sailor Moon. But all the aforementioned autograph writers were all lined up beside each other in the North Building, along with the Batmobile and the photo-op setup. Stan Lee, however, had his own autograph section, aptly dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Stan Lee Zoneâ&#x20AC;? in the South

Building, just down from Artists Alley. At $120, Lee autographs were the second priciest at the convention after Hamillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at $195. So, you buy your ticket for your autograph (actually my darling daughter and her husband bought mine as my birthday present this year) and are told that the autograph session is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. They also tell you that

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wantt tto li youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll line up before that. We lined up at 1:30 and just after 4 p.m., it was my turn. Your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;turnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is to stand there as Stan quickly scribbled his signature on your item, without looking up, as several â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;helpersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moved you along. (I had my Merry Marvel Marching Society membership card signed. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had it since I was 10 and the guys just ahead of me in line made me go ahead of them just to see if

such a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; item might illicit a response from Stan but no go.) Now, while I was hoping for an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Excelsior!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; or even just a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hi thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from Stan, I understand why the autograph session was reduced to an assembly line exercise. For one thing, this was his last Canadian appearance and the lines were huge. To their credit, once the line got moving, it moved pretty quick even though Stan took one break which is understandable at his age. A skeptic (and of course Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been accused of tha that) might say this was a gre greedy attempt to squeeze ev every last nickel out of the ol old boy before he kicks. B But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to believe it was really an attempt tto get as many people an aautograph as possible. A And lets face it, this guy k kind of invented the autog tograph session at the first comicons m many years ago. By now th they h have iit down to a well-oiled machine. But you know what, while everybody in that lineup would have liked a minute or so to chat with the man, there was very little grumbling. There was a feeling like this was a part of history, the end of an era, and we were part of it. Hell I even made it through two and a half hours in the lineup without having to go to the bathroom.

ALL THE NEWS THATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FIT TO POST...ONLINE!

Take a walk for kidney disease It may be a lesser-known disease, but kidney disease is impacting communities and families in growing numbers. Today, one in 10 Canadians has kidney disease and over 1,000 Ontarians are waiting for a kidney transplant and the number of Canadians being treated for kidney failure has tripled in the last 20 years. There are many different kidney diseases and disorders. Some kidney diseases are present at birth and others develop as we grow older. Often, kidney disease is associated with other medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease and most diseases attack the filtering units in the kidney, damaging their ability to remove wastes and excess fluids. It may be possible to prevent chronic kidney disease or slow it down, especially for people with high blood pressure or diabetes. Kidney disease is treated with dialysis or a kidney transplant; there is no cure. In an effort to learn more about kidney disease and hopefully develop newer and better treatments, the Kidney Foundation of Canada actively fundraises for the cause. One of these fundraising initiatives is the annual Kidney Walk. Kingston is one of forty communities in Ontario joining together this fall for The Kidney Foundation of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kidney Walk on Sept. 25. Each year, thousands of Canadians take steps to create a better future for those living with, and affected by, kidney disease. Kidney Walks are the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest community fundraiser. The events may only last a few hours, but the connections and camaraderie for those who attend has a lasting impact. The Kidney Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to support those affected by kidney disease through education, patient support programs like Kidney Connect Peer Support, advocacy, and by funding research to improve understanding of kidney disease and its treatments. In Kingston, the Kidney Walk will take place at Lake Ontario Park on Sept. 25 at 11 a.m. For more information, to register for a walk, or to donate, please visit www.kidneywalk.ca

New condos necessary for a thriving downtown Jeff Scott THE COUNTRYSIDE VIEW Editorial - The Capital Theatre has moved out of the downtown for a more spacious venue in the north of the city leaving the older theatre vacant. A Toronto developer has stepped up and proposed building a fifteen storey condominium on the site. The 213 unit building will have underground parking off of Queen Street and a pedestrian entrance at the front of the building using the original theatre front on Princess Street. There have been a lot of changes to the application and the project is now going to Council for approval. The application has stirred up a lot of controversy but this is not the first residential tower to be

built downtown Kingston, nor will it be the last. There are already several wonderful high-rise residential buildings in the core and just like every other Canadian city there is an increased desire for more like them. There are four factors pushing up the demand. Seniors are retiring here from Toronto but, instead of settling in Bayridge like they used to, many are opting for downtown instead. They are being followed by seniors moving in from the west end who are exchanging their suburban house for a downtown condo near the restaurants and the hospital. There are also the two thousand extra students that Queen’s University is bringing in to the city, many with wealthy parents willing to buy a condominium unit for their child. Finally, there are the millennials, like my daughter, who do not own a car and want to live in the centre of the city where the entertainment and restaurants are. To

meet the demand, there are going to have to be several buildings like this built every year; one apartment tower for the new Queen’s University students alone. The opposition to this building is perplexing. For many years there has been concern about Kingston sprawling off with suburban growth. Although this growth has hardly been sprawl, it has expanded the boundaries of the urban area. As such, successive Councils have made sure that the Official Plan allows for new residential growth in the city core. This makes good development sense since there are schools and stores downtown that rely on having people live there. Unfortunately, many of the dayto-day stores have already been replaced by restaurants and K.C.V.I closed because there weren’t enough students in the area to keep it going without bussing in students from elsewhere. There are four elementary schools that will likely

close if more people don’t move into the area. The Province has put out a policy paper supporting this type of high rise development because they understand the futility of building more schools, roads, and sewers when existing facilities are being underutilised. That is why these projects get taken to the Ontario Municipal Board and why they get approved whether residents like it or not. There have been complaints about how this building will affect Princess Street and some have pointed out the horrible looking Princess Towers as a bad example. Princess Towers was an experiment that went bad and the Capital building will look nothing like it. This project is set back from the street quite a distance and the existing theatre frontage is going to be kept as the main entrance. Anyone walking along the street would have a hard time noticing the build-

ing at all. There have been complaints about this building not being at a human scale but since it is set back it will have little presence. There have been concerns about the effects of the building on Queen Street but this really doesn’t matter much because there is no residential on that part of the street to be affected. Finally, there was the concern that this building would block the view of City Hall. Well, as far as that goes, City Hall is only visible from the streets around market square, from the waterfront and from those apartments that are already lucky to have a view of City Hall. The times have changed again in Kingston. People are going to have to get used to seeing this type of apartment building going up. There will undoubtedly be many more of them, which will go a long way to keeping Kingston’s wonderful downtown alive and thriving.

Five ways to make maternity leave more enjoyable Maternity leave is a strange time, perhaps especially for those of us whose regular jobs necessitate being very tuned into and involved with the larger community. All of a sudden you’re cut off from this aspect of your life and instead spend the majority of the time camped out on the couch nursing. In my experience, the first two weeks after giving birth are a bit of a blur. It’s a hormonal/emotional rollercoaster to be sure, but at least there is the distraction provided by the many friends and family members who come over to meet the new baby.

I won’t kid myself into believing that this relatively peaceful routine will last. As Everly gets older she will be awake more and demand more attention. But it’s working for now and I’m taking it one day at a time.

Eastern Ontario can expect warmer temperatures to continue this fall, but should be prepared for a colder winter By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – It looks like warmer temperatures are sticking around this fall. The Weather Network released its fall and early winter weather predictions last week and according to meteorologist Erin Wenckstern, Kingstonians can expect warmer temperatures to continue throughout most of autumn this year. “It won’t be above seasonal the entire time, fall is a transitional season where we will of course see ups and downs and the cold artic air will occasionally come in,” she

said. “But we expect that after we crunch all the numbers for the season overall, the temperatures will come out as above normal.” These warmer temperatures come after many throughout the province experienced a warmer and drier than normal summer and unfortunately, Wenckstern expects the precipitation levels to stay low throughout the fall too. “We are expecting the drier conditions to kind of linger throughout fall as well. We are expecting near normal to below normal precipitation and my guess it we will trend towards below,” she said. “We will see some rain, but we are

expecting it to come in waves.” These warmer and drier temperatures come as a result of rigid high-pressure systems that are lingering throughout the area and while the Weather Network tries to be as accurate as possible in their predictions, Wenckstern admits that the forecast was a bit tougher to predict this year. “Last year we were dealing with going into a super El Nino and that is what dictated our forecast for the winter, however the ocean is actually in a neutral phase in the Pacific now and that isn’t giving us many hints,” she explained. “This year we are looking at scenarios we have

seen in the past to help us predict.” With this look to the past, Wenckstern predicts that we may see a cold spell arrive in November that will feel like winter, but whether it sticks around for the entire winter is yet to be determined. “It might stick around or we might have a colder November and then a warmer December,” she said. “What we know for sure is that winter won’t be as mild as last year.” Last year, temperatures throughout the region averaged six degrees warmer than normal, but it appears that will not be the case this year. “We are expecting a colder win-

ter with near or below normal temperatures,” said Wenckstern. “Bad news for some, but hopefully it is a bit better for ski season.” As with any prediction, there is a chance for errors and Wenckstern admits that being wrong sometimes comes with the territory. She recommends that people continue to monitor the forecast for the most accurate look at what’s to come. “We always try our hardest and we are looking at the forecast every day and constantly monitoring how things are progressing,” she said. “All we can say right now it that it looks like we are in for a really nice fall.”

Titled ‘No- ideas that we all have.” Edwards’ work has always had tionography,’ the exhibit marries some of Edwards’ sketches and a strong animal presence, with

many of his exhibits and books exploring animals as other animals, animals with human traits, and the intense beauty that exists naturally in the creatures of the earth. Notionography will continue to show this style, something Edwards attributes to the instruction of a teacher in his days at art school, the demand for realistic animal renderings when he completed school, and his own innate fascination with animals. “I have to say that I love animals, and I love drawing animals. They tend to be racially neutral and they often are gender neutral, so that allows animals to be a fun subject, especially in children’s books,” he said. “And it’s sort of a nice elegant way to show human emotion through another creature.” Notionography will be on display at Studio 22 from Tuesday, Sept. 27 to Saturday, Nov. 5. At the same time, Edwards will be launching a new book as part of Kingston WritersFest. Titled ‘What is Peace?’ the book began as an exploration of just that question for Edwards. While the book is aimed at school-aged children, it examines a question that spans the ages, and incorporates Edwards’ artwork into a book that can be enjoyed by all ages.

interview or work placement is something Dress for Success does all year round, but what makes the Suit Up event so unique is the ability to do the same for men, explained Lindsay MacDonald, manager of Dress for Success. Once a year, her organization joins forces with KEYS for this event, which is made possible thanks to an initiative through Moore’s Clothing for Men.

ents who bring in a gently used suit in exchange. Here in Kingston, those suits collected locally filled four racks that line a wall of the pop-up shop. “This is just a great way to offer the services we regularly offer for women to men,” MacDonald said.“It’s a big thing that we get to see once a year, and there is a need in the community for sure.” Both MacDonald and Pritchard expressed that they want the community to be aware this event takes place annually so that more people can take advantage of it. “Every year it gets a little busier, and the impact is going to the client in the community, who needs clothing while they’re on

their path towards finding a job,” said Pritchard. But outfitting those who stop in at the event or take advantage of the services through KEYS and Dress for Success year round is only a small aspect of what these services do for people, Pritchard underlined. “It’s really not about the clothes. The clothes are great, and it’s really nice for them to have the clothes, but it really is about the empowerment that it gives them – the selfconfidence and the self-esteem,” she said. “We tell our donors all the time: the clothes are great, and it’s nice that they’re beautiful, but what it gives the client is so much more than just the outfit.”

Impact of donations to local YMCA to be doubled by local contributors together or working with Y staff here, the students become comfortable and confident, and more social.” For the Trustees of the Larry Gibson Estate, creating a fund-matching initiative for the YMCA to continue offering this partnership was “a perfect fi t,” said Jay Rayner – The Estate has supported the partnership between the YMCA and Pathways to Education since its inception. “There is certainly a lot of evidence to show that if you can get kids exercising, they’ll perform better in school,” said Rayner, adding that he and Fraser recognize how difficult it can be to secure continued funding for a programs once it is off the ground. “With respect to Pathways and the Y, we’ve been committed to helping this particular project for the last three years, and it’s grown immensely. The kids are giving really good and positive feedback. It’s a good program and a great fit for us.” Fraser expressed that the partnership between the YMCA and Pathways to Education is very congruent to the kinds of investments Mr. Gibson made himself. “Prior to Larry’s death, he was involved and gave donations to a number of schools so that they could have music programs or band programs,” said Fraser. “We feel that Larry was interested in the growth of children, and so this is a good fi t in that way, as well.” Mary Kloosterman, CEO of YMCA of Kingston, said she hopes the community will take ad- •

vantage of the opportunity to have any donation they make to the cause basically doubled from now until the end of October. “When we started this program, it just really took off, and so we are really pleased to have this support to keep it going,” she said, noting that the original goal was to have at least 5 per cent of students at Pathways to Education take advantage of the opportunity – a goal that was quickly surpassed and is now as high as 60 per cent of those students. “The irony is that there isn’t continuing funding, so even if you can say this is great program and we’ve got the stats to show it – the students’ marks are up, they’re attendance rates are up – we still need groups like the Larry Gibson Estate to say ‘Ok, you’ve got something good here. Let us help,” she explained. “This is a program we definitely don’t want to lose.” To fi nd out more or to make a donation to the YMCA, visit www.kingstonstartshere.com.

Estate in the Greater R0012824838

News – All donations made to the YMCA of Kingston until the end of October will be generously matched, thanks to a fundraising initiative announced Sept. 14. Representatives of the YMCA and Pathways to Education gathered to kick off a fund-matching campaign to support children and youth in need. The trustees of the Larry Gibson Estate, Jay Rayner and Graeme Fraser, were on hand to announce they have established a fund that will match any donations made to the YMCA from now until Friday, Oct. 28, up to a maximum of $30,000. These funds are intended to continue and increase access to the YMCA and its programs for kids and youth who would otherwise not be able to. The partnership with the Estate of Larry Gibson will continue a program launched in 2013 called ‘ Building Brains and Bodies,’ which addresses

physical fi tness and education by offering free YMCA memberships to any students at Pathways to Education. “It’s incredible. This partnership has had a tremendous impact on our program and our kids,” said Chris Dreifelds, a student parent support worker and facilitator of group mentoring at Pathways to Education. He noted that over 500 children and youth in the Pathways to Education program have benefi tted from the partnership, which not only increases physical activity in participants, but also helps in building a wellrounded student. “The benefi ts have created a transformation. Week to week, it’s a really good life-skills builder,” said Dreifelds, pointing out that students report enhanced ability to focus in school, higher attendance rates, and event better sleeping habits. “For the kids that come in [to Pathways to Education], confidence can be low, and they may be very dependant, or selfconscious.

never wear again. She added shaved lye soap, a few cups of vinegar, and she threw in a cup of baking soda for good measure. Everett was ordered to bury the skunk, but it would be days before the stench was faded enough that we could go out the back door without holding our noses. Although Father had scoured himself from head to toe in the river, there was still a faint smell of skunk which Mother insisted was coming from the slaughter outside, and not from Father. Emerson pretended to gag, and Mother slapped him on the side of the head, which straightened him up in a hurry. There wasn’t much chatter around the dinner table that noon hour, and when we said our prayers that night, Mother added a special request. We all prayed for a heavy, long lasting rain to get rid of the last vestige of the skunk smells that had played havoc that late summer morning out at Northcote.

flannelette sheet she could find, Everett was sent to get a bar of homemade lye soap, I was sent to the bedroom to get a clean pair of long underwear, and opening the door a bare crack, Mother threw out the whole pile onto the back stoop. We knew Father was headed for the Bonnechere River. The three brothers did up the chores that morning, avoiding walking near the dead carcass of the skunk, which Father had finished off with a shovel that lay on the ground beside it. The smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife, and I was reasonably sure we would never be able to go out the summer kitchen door again! It was close to dinner time before we saw Father climbing the hill from the river, his stinking clothes held well away from his body with a long stick, and he was wearing only the clean underwear. He was quite a sight, and we were warned that one snicker out of any of us, and we would pay dearly. Mother had already filled an old iron kettle with hot water from the reservoir. Used to catch rainwater off the roof, it was big enough to hold all Father’s skunk-drenched clothes, which I was reasonably sure he would

log from the wood box on top. I knew he would be going to the back door, pull on his boots, and quietly quit the house. I heard the latch click, and the door close behind him. Then I heard sounds I had never heard before... oh, maybe the time he slammed the hammer onto his thumb in the drive shed. But the roars I was sure could be heard all the way over to the Barr Line! Well, did that get the whole house up in a hurry! He was swearing in German, so I knew it must be something serious. Then he yelled that no one was to come out of the house! “Don’t open the door,” he hollered. And then it struck us all at the same time, as we stood in the summer kitchen, the rancid smell cut into the air like a knife, and we knew Father had been royally sprayed by a skunk! Mother sent Audrey to the rag bag to get the biggest piece of old

The morning sounds never varied. Besides Father, I was always awake long before anyone else in the house. But this time of year, the sounds were harder to hear because our Findlay Oval had been moved to the summer kitchen in an effort to keep the rest of the house as cool as possible, and I had to strain to hear Father doing what he did every morn-

ing without fail. Even though he tried his best to be quiet, there was no way to completely block out the sounds that came out of the summer kitchen, and I could picture in my mind’s eye exactly what he was doing. He would already be in his bib overalls and red plaid shirt, and his grey wool socks. His work boots would be sitting at the back door. I could hear him lift the lids as one, and hook them onto the side of the stove, and I would hear the Renfrew Mercury being scrunched up and placed in the firebox. Then I would hear him take the kindling from the wood box, and to finish the job, I could hear him place a

Miracle landing only part of the tale in this latest Eastwood film MOVIE: Sully STARRING: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Mike O’Mally DIRECTOR: Clint Eastwood RATING: PG By: Mark Haskins

The Miracle on the Hudson captivated the world. We all know what happened that day. We saw the news, we saw the interviews, we saw the crew on David Letterman. So why do we need a movie? Sully goes beyond the news to tell the story behind the events, and connect with the people who made it happen. On January 15, 2009 US Airways flight 1549 out of LaGuardia Airport was struck by a flock of geese. With both engines inoperable, and the plane rapidly losing thrust, Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) were forced to take emergency action. Runways were cleared for an emergency landing, but their altitude was too low. Sully knew they would never make an airport so he took the only option available to him. He landed his plane on the Hudson River. For every condition and factor to come into play the way they did was a miracle. For Sully to land his plane on the Hudson, and have every single passenger and crewmember walk away unharmed was beyond belief. Sully takes us into those events second-by-second and moment-by-moment. It also takes us to the events that happened after.

We see the investigation of the crash. We see head investigator Charles Porter (Mike O’Mally) claim Sully could have made it to an airport. We see the engineers’

reports, the computer simulations and pilot simulations, and the toll it all takes on Sully as he second guesses and questions everything that happened in those three minutes. Like most people I knew the facts of the events surrounding Sully. What I didn’t know was what happened during the investigation. I didn’t know they tried to blame Sully for what happened. Getting to see that investigation play out across the big screen is fascinating. Eastwood brings those details to light beautifully, but he does so much more than that. His fo-

cus is on the people, and Chesley Sullenberger in particular. It’s on who Sully is, how he thinks, what motivates him, and how this whole thing affected him emotionally and psychologically. It’s a beautiful story. The supporting cast is excellent. Laura Linney, who plays Lorraine Sullenberger, Aaron Eckhart, and Mike O’Mally show such conviction and integrity in their performances. These are real events and real people, and the cast is extremely sensitive to that. Tom Hanks is one of those rare talents who can do anything. He

can do comedy, he can star in an action film, and he can do drama. In Sully he doesn’t play Chesley Sullenberger, he inhabits him. He becomes him. Hanks doesn’t try to make Sully into someone he isn’t. He gives an honest portrayal, and in doing so creates something powerful. Sully takes an already remarkable story and gives us the story behind the story. It goes beyond the facts to give us an intimate look at the real people involved.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, September 22, 2016

Keep yourself, your property and your wallet safe this fall Kanetix, one of Canada’s oldest and leading online insurance shopping centres recently passed along some great and timely safe driving reminders as we all get back in the swing of fall commuting. With the return of the school year, driving safely takes on a whole new level of importance as our urban streets become a lot more crowded with bus, cycling and pedestrian traffic. Rushed and unsafe driving may bring some unexpected financial bur-

dens along with the more crucial aspect of putting the health and lives of fellow travelers at risk. Kanetix VP Janine White sends along these tips to help keep bodies, property, and wallets safe. Parking in a no parking zone. A bad habit many of us are guilty of, we may do this to simply grab a coffee, or drop the kids off at school. But it’s more of a big deal than you think. Parking tickets increased earlier this year, and blocking a lane of traffic or leaving your car where you shouldn’t could get you a $150 ticket, or worse, get your car towed. Driving through crosswalks. As of this year, drivers trying to roll through crosswalks when pedestrians are attempting to cross or as soon as they are halfway

through could face a maximum fine of $500 and three demerit points. That fine doubles in a community safety zone. This bad habit could increase your insurance policy by 15 per cent. Dooring a cyclist. It’s important you always look before you exit your vehicle. Even if it’s not on purpose, dooring a cyclist can get you a maximum fine of $1,000 as well as three demerit points. You may also end up with an atfault accident if your vehicle is damaged and the cyclist is hurt. The accident and the ticket could lead to a 50 per cent increase on your insurance policy. Texting at a red light or changing a song on your phone. Simply touching your phone or any electronic device that is separate from your car’s dashboard can get you a distracted driving ticket costing anywhere from $490 to $1,000 plus three demerit points upon conviction. The impact on your insurance policy would be 15 per cent. out Work for You! of Backing a driveway. If an incident happens while you’re in reverse, it’s always your fault.

Without accident forgiveness, something as small as backing into a garbage-can or running over a bike in the driveway can affect your insurance. And if you’ve caused a collision with on-coming traffic, you can expect the financial impact to be quite severe. These incidents could increase your policy by 50 per cent. Speeding in a residential area. Exceeding the speed limit even by 16 km/hour will get you three demerit points and fines that increase for each kilometre range that’s over the limit. If it’s found that something was distracting you – for example, you were playing with your phone or putting on makeup, you could also get a distracted driving ticket in addition to your speeding ticket. A speeding ticket can have 15 per cent effect on your insurance. Distracted by children. Whether you’re focused on soothing the baby behind you or trying to get your kids to stop fighting in the back seat, if you aren’t paying attention to the road and an officer spots you, expect to get a ticket for distracted driving. Auto industry news has been filled recently with announcements from just about every carmaker on the planet moving forward with autonomous or selfdriving vehicle projects. While an affordable mass-produced selfdriver may be a few years off, some warnings from traffic analysts should be noted for those

drivers behind the wheels of some current tech-laden rides. Self-driving vehicles as well as those equipped with lane-keeping warning or assist systems are completely reliant on good, clean, well-marked painted lane-lines on our roads for proper operation. Most self-driving prototype vehicles will simply refuse to move if their various sensors and cameras can’t ‘see’ or sense clear distinct lane-makers on the road ahead. But vehicles with lane-keeping features can still merrily roll along and drivers may be lulled into a false sense of security thinking their auto will let them know if their vehicle is drifting out of their lane. And while we should properly blame poor road maintenance practices for this problem, our Canadian winters can be equally at fault for covering lane-marks with ice and snow.

Kingston/Frontenac Section B - Thursday, September 22, 2016

When life goes to the dogs good things happen January. During a blizzard. Balto wasn’t just one of the pack, he was one of the lead dogs of several dog sled teams working in relay to deliver anti-toxin to Nome through a raging storm. The dog, a northern Husky-like sled dog, was himself named after Samuel Johannesen Balto, a Norwegian “Sami” (reindeer herder) who accompanied explorer Fritdjof Nansen As I walk one of my dogs, the one named on an expedition to Greenland in 1888. In January 1925, a diphtheria epidemic Balto, in the morning, I am reminded that the depths of winter will be upon us sooner befell Nome. In those days, an anti-toxin than I’d like. Over the past couple of weeks, was the only way to fight this disease, which I’ve gone from wearing a light t-shirt to a caused excruciating pain and terror in warm flannel top. Today, the ultimate sign children and adults as they slowly suffocated of the doom of impending cold (I am not to death. For Nome, the salvation of serum a winter person) struck: my bare feet (in was 674 miles away. The port of Nome was sandals) were cold. When I returned home icebound. No ship was getting in. In the after an hour-plus walk, I discovered it was early days of aviation, no plane could travel through the treacherous weather that was seven degrees out there. Balto won’t mind the snow and chilly developing. The nearest railhead was almost temperatures. He is designed for it. His 700 miles away. Children and adults were becoming is a northern breed, Tamaskan, that I’ve quite ill in Nome. There were not yet any written about in the past. He is named after one of the most courageous dogs in North vaccinations for diphtheria. An anti-toxin American history. The original Balto helped serum could cure a patient with diphtheria. Dr. Welch, the only physician within save the people of Nome, Alaska. In August 1935 Will Rogers died in a hundreds of miles had no anti-toxin. The plane crash in Alaska. In the last column serum had been ordered, but failed to arrive he’d written, found in the wreckage, Rogers on the last ship in before the port had closed said: “The backbone of the arctic is a dog’s for the winter. Prior to the development of an anti-toxin backbone.” Ten years earlier, a statue dedicated to serum, diptheria killed many of its victims. an arctic dog named Balto was erected in Parents watched as their children suffered Central Park in New York City. Balto was slow and painful deaths. The diphtheria bacteria releases a toxin one of many dogs who helped save Nome in the middle of a diphtheria outbreak. In that initially makes its victims tired and

apathetic. Within two to five days, a fever develops and red ulcers develop in the throat and mouth. These ulcers thicken and expand and form a membrane of dead cells, blood clots and dead skin. The membrane expands throughout the mouth and throat and then down the windpipe. The victim turns a purplish blue as they slowly suffocate to death. Today, a simple vaccine prevents diphtheria. In 1925, there was no such magic. Prior to the development of an antitoxin in 1891, the mortality rate could reach nearly 100%. In addition, diphtheria is highly contagious, so the outcome for Nome and the surrounding territory was going to be devastating. The only hope was for sled dogs to A statue of Balto in Central Park honours transport the serum. the dog’s contribution to the great Serum Continued on page 4

When life goes to the dogs good things happen Continued from page 3

Balto, who became the lead dog on the last segment of the serum trek, was born in 1919, but his owner, Leonhard Sepalla, did not consider him a good racing dog, so he had the dog neutered at about the age of six months. Balto was not a fast dog and his “cut” was considered too boxy, with a barrel chest. But what Balto lacked in speed, he made up in strength and determination. Sepalla allowed another sled driver to work with Balto. At times, temperatures dropped to -60 degrees Fahrenheit (-51 Celsius) and wind gusts hit 60 to 70 mph (100+ km per hour), strong enough to flip dog sleds. Add to that a blizzard that raged for days resulting in

zero visibility at a time of year when there was almost 24 hour darkness in the northern land and you start to see some super creature powers being required to make the trek. Never mind cartoon superpowers. These were real dogs doing super-real feats. Even, in the days long before the Internet, Twitter, Instagram and any other social media tools, Balto became a household name. Newspapers around the world kept readers riveted as they monitored the progress of the sled dogs’ journey over several days. Movies have been made about Balto. Many books have been written about him and the feats of he and his fellow canines. I first learned about this magnificent

creature in Central Park, where a statue stands, dedicated to his heroic trek. Part of the inscription reads: “Endurance, fidelity and intelligence.” The best report I’ve read on the serum trek came in Gay Salisbury and Laney Salisbury’s “The Cruelest Miles: The heroic story of dogs and men in a race against an epidemic.” The book, published in 2003, involved painstaking research. Even though the reader knows the outcome—the dogs saved the people of Nome and further afield—the book is a pageturning thriller. Page after page of detail on the gruelling trek keep the reader’s adrenalin flowing. The raging blizzard became so intense that the dog sled relay had to be called off. But Klaasen did not receive the message to wait out the storm at the last checkpoint, 50 miles away from Nome. The last Klaasen had heard was that “Violent blizzard now on is delaying progress.” Winds at Port Stanley were blowing at 80 miles an hour, a near-hurricane of snow cut into everything. But phone lines went dead and Klaasen never received the message to halt the relay. Not that it would have made a difference. He was determined to get the serum to Nome, so he headed out in the storm, taking on the 50-mile last leg of the relay. From The Cruelest Miles: “Kaasen could barely see 100 feet ahead of him. Balto lurched forward and tentatively polwed his way through the snow along the back of the ridge. He understood that he had to regain the trail….Balto kept his nose low to the ground, his ears flattened against his head

to keep out the wind, as he moved slowly over the snow….For more than an hour, the blowing snow had been so thick that Kaasen could not see the trail and could only guess at his position….He had given control of the team over to Balto and his job now was to hold on….” Then the worst possible scenario happened. The storm blew the sled over. When Kaasen got it upright, the serum was no longer on the sled. He had to search through a drift (in the dark) to find the box with the serum, get it back on the sled and keep moving.” Balto, leading the sled driven by Gunnar Kaasen, arrived in Nome on February 2, 1925. According to the Salisbury authors: “Witnesses to this drama said they saw Kaasen stagger off the sled and stumble up to Balto, where he collapsed, muttering: ‘Damn fine dog.’” Which must have been the understatement of the year 1925. Balto and the other sled dogs had saved the people of Nome and the serum the dogs delivered was able to quell the diptheria epidemic. Balto died in 1933 under the care of Dr. Powell of the Cleveland Brookside Zoo. That is a long-winded explanation of how the newest dog to enter my family’s life, a northern breed called Tamaskan, got his name, Balto. And on those early morning walks, I hope that my Balto never has to trek with me through a blizzard like the Balto of 1925. For more information about Balto, visit www.baltostruestory.net.

for funds to help ensure area students have access to programs at Gould Lake regardless of financial constraints. The goal is to complete the journey in under 40 hours, and this year the dozen paddlers did so in just under 30 hours.

tstaff ord@metroland.com

News – What makes a dozen people grab a 25foot canoe and embark on a non-stop journey from Kingston to Ottawa, navigating through the night to arrive at our nation’s capital? Continued on page 7 The love and commitment they all have for outdoor education and the local youth who benefit from it, according to Lauren Hanley, organizer of the Storm the Hill paddle that covered exactly that route. Hanley is a member of Friends of Outreach, a charitable trust formed in 1996 in order to raise funds to offset the costs of programs offered through the Gould Lake Outdoor Centre for students. For the fifth year in a row, Friends of Outreach have completed the Storm (left to right) Allie McIntyre, Bryan Muscedere, Katie McIntyre, the Hill paddle, which covers Trevor Witjes, Lyndsay Segee, Haley Segee, Lauren Hanley, Mi150 kilometers, in order to chael Hanley, ClaraTroje, Caroline Bond, Ben Perry, and Adair raise funds for that cause, as Sugrue all participated in the 150km paddle and trek from well as awareness of the need Kingston to Ottawa known as Storm the Hill.

Kingston-to-Ottawa Canoe fundraiser brings in over $10,000 to help area students participate in outdoor education Continued from page 6

“The reason we do this is for the students. Our programs are run through the Limestone District School Board, and they’re subsidized by the school board, but they’re still pretty pricey. They range from $200 up to $2,000, and not a lot of students can afford that,” said Hanley, who works full time at the Gould Lake Outdoor Centre and completed all of the programs through the Centre while she was in school. “So we offer funding for students that can’t fi nancially come to our programs so that they are able to, and there are no barriers for them financially.” This past year alone, over 500 students attended the programs at Gould Lake, with 30 of those students receiving the financial aid to do so through Friends of Outreach. The programs are open to students from grade 7 to grade 12, and offer courses in all levels of outdoor skills such as canoeing, portaging, navigating, camping, cooking, kayaking and more. Five years ago, Friends of Outreach decided to change their fundraising initiative from a paddlea-thon in Algonquin Park to the Storm the Hill canoe trek because they felt their students would be better able to relate and understand the Kingstonto-Ottawa trip and just how large it is, Hanley explained. Since doing so, their fundraising efforts

have proven more fruitful year after year – funds raised five years ago topped out around $2,000, and this year Storm the Hill raised $10,575 as of this week, with donations still trickling in. For Hanley and the 11 others who took on the Storm the Hill journey – all of whom completed all of the programs offered through Gould Lake Outdoor Centre as kids and teens – knowing more area students will benefit from the funds raised is well worth the gruelling paddle and trek. “These programs offer students a complete experience that I don’t even know how to explain. It gives them the opportunity to do so many things that they wouldn’t do without going through Gould Lake,” said Hanley, who points to the portage through a small town with a giant canoe at 3 a.m. as perhaps the most challenging aspect of the journey. “For me, the programs got me to become a leader, and be more involved and outspoken… it got me out of my comfort zone a little bit, which is great, and then it also created a career for me,” she said. “It’s been a real life changer for me, and it’s very close to my heart.” Friends of Outreach is open all year and accepts donations at any time to help more students experience the programs at Gould Lake.

in his New York City home for the past two years. There’s never a visit when our chats have not been interrupted with phone calls or drop-in visitors. One day we sat chatting and the phone rang. It sounded like Nat was speaking fondly with a student. Turned out it was one of the lead actors in Broadway’s An American in Paris, who had trained with Nat years earlier. Sadly, one of his closest friends recently died. “He was my last peer,” said Nat. “I have no one connecting me with Virginia now.” These kinds of losses come regularly to one who is almost 90 years of age. The nearby community becomes that much more important as the years pass. One of my closest friends throughout my life is a lawyer. We recently talked about the concept of retirement. Neither of us ever plans on retiring. Why stop doing something you love? Writing in Psychology Today, Dr. Ken Eisold noted: “Work is what we do in this world—and not working is a kind of exile, a form of social irrelevance. For better or worse, it is the way most of us find meaning in our world.” Dr. Mark Stibich, writing last year in Healthy Living, looked at the concept of retirement in different areas of the world. In Greece, retirees (in a study of 16,827 men) had a 51% increase in their risk of death. But, noted Stibich, in places like Okinawa and Vilcabamba (Ecuador), where people are healthy and active in old age, they tend to live into their 90s. In these cultures, the elderly may walk several miles a day in addition to gardening and caring for great-grandchildren. “What matters for your health is what you are doing to your body and mind,” wrote Stibich. “If you retire and sit around all day, your health will deteriorate. If you retire and hit the gym

while eating tons of fruit and vegetables, your health will improve. People who are working can have terrible health if they sit around all day and stress out, so forget about whether retirement is healthy or not—look at your daily habits and decide which ones need some improvement.” What are healthy habits? Humans need to exercise daily. Develop an exercise routine that builds strength, stamina and flexibility. Walk, dance, climb hills. Watch what you eat. Make sure to eat several servings of fruit and vegetables daily, and the fresher the food, the healthier it tends to be you. If the source of all of your vegetables is a can or plastic container, you are getting far fewer nutrients than if you’re eating fresh produce. Is your brain getting exercise, too? Find ways to fascinate yourself and stimulate your brain. Learn a new language, do crosswords, learn to play a new musical instrument, and perform activities that require your memory to work. Are you relaxing? If not, find some way to do so. Meditate. Try yoga. Study the martial arts. Walk. Chant. Sing. Make sure you are getting enough sleep (humans need between seven and nine hours a night). Develop relationships. Volunteer your time. Many social agencies need lots of volunteer hours. Nurture your family and social relationships. Join Kingston’s Seniors Centre and take part in their programs and activities. It’s not really retirement that kills people; it’s what they do when they retire that makes the difference. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.
