Funds for K & P land acquisition to come out of Frontenac Renovates reserves By Craig Bakay
News — Frontenac County Council approved moving some money around in its reserve funds in order to pay for some land acquisitions for the K & P Trail project at its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie. Seventy-five per cent of the $403,430 Frontenac Renovates Reserve (302,573) was moved to the K & P Trail Property Acquisition Reserve to accommodate anticipated acquisitions. It took a bit of convincing by staff to get Council on board with the idea. “I’d like to defer this to budget time,” said Coun. Ron Higgins. “There’s going to be a procurement in the near future,” said CAO Kelly Pender. “(And) we’re going to run out of money. “All this motion speaks to is funding formulas and the transfer of reserves, the Verona Trail Head project could be left out. “(If the transfer isn’t made) we’ll be over our budget by next meeting.” “I don’t understand to take money money out of Frontenac Renovates and move it to something completely different,” said Coun. Natalie Nossal. “It’s $400,000 the County set aside to fill a void.” “It’s just sitting there,” said Treasurer Marion VanBruinessen. “I’m uncomfortable as to where this money Gary Giller of the Central Frontenac Railway Heritage Society welcomed Mayor (and Fron- should be going until we have a discussion,” tenac County Warden) Frances Smith to the podium Saturday , Sept. 17 at the Caboose in said Higgins. “To me, the money wasn’t meant Sharbot Lake as the society gathered with friends and benefactors in recognition of those for trails, it was meant for housing.” “I think it should be used for the trail,” said who made the park possible.

Coun. John McDougall. “We have offers out there and I’m in favour of that money being in the system,” said Warden Frances Smith. Manager of economic development Anne Marie Young said there is currently $80,000 in a fund allocated for land acquisition but it’s not enough. “We underestimated legal fees, surveying, the things you have to do,” Young said. “We’re going to be short or we’re not going to meet our target.” In his report, Pender said the funds would be used to acquire properties from Tichborne to Sharbot Lake and for the establishment of a parking/trail head in Verona. (Municipalities do not discuss the particulars of land acquisition in public until deals have been reached.) The Frontenac Renovates reserve was created in 2014 in anticipation that the Ontario Renovates program would be ended in the 2014/2015 provincial budget. It had been touted as a way that residents (and in particular seniors) could remain in their homes and become less of a burden on the system. Provincial funding for the program ends in 2019 but Kingston and Frontenac County have agreed to divert tax/reserve dollars to continue it. Pender said “the program is more popular in the County than in the City.” The remaining 25 per cent of the reserve will remain in the Frontenac Renovates reserve pending fi nalization of the K & P Trail land acquisition project and the Verona trail head project.

FCFDC asks County for grant to help deal with growing loan portfolio By Craig Bakay
TICO#50007364
News — Faced with a loan portfolio which has grown 41.1 per cent that has placed stress on their operational and investment funds, Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation (FCFDC) Executive Director Anne Prichard was at Frontenac County Council’s regular meeting last week in Glenburnie asking for a $35,000 grant. Prichard’s presentation was part of public meetings the Coun-
ty has been organizing to allow presentations and/or funding requests to Council for consideration in the 2017 budget. Prichard told Council that the FCFDC will have lent out $500,000 in September/October. “While we are pleased with this success, it has placed stress on both our operational and investment funds,” she said. “To consistently have loan funds available, we have borrowed investment capital from another CFDC. “This action has allowed us to
continue to help Frontenac businesses start and grow, but necessitates interest on the funds borrowed. “Given the uptake we receive from our clients, we anticipate borrowing additional investment capital within the next two months.” Prichard said that their funding from the Federal Development Agency of Southern Ontario decreased the 2012-2013 fiscal year, a decrease of about $70,000 annually.

that with the approval of their funding agency, FCFDC was able to transfer a small percentage of funds from the interest earned on its loan portfolio to offset operational costs. “In 2015, the board requested a transfer for the first time,” she said. “Cost savings measures were implemented and a staff reduction to three members from four took place. “Unfortunately, the growth and utilization of our initiatives have however created a conundrum as those funds used to offset operation are now required to lend.” Coun. Ron Higgins asked how the figure of $35,000 was arrived at. “That’s the number we’re taking out of operating funds,” Prichard said. The second option would be a $30,000 grant to invest in FCFDC’s food and beverage strategy. “This strategy has seen the attraction of Seed to Sausage Corp to Central Frontenac, Back Forty Artisan Cheese to North Frontenac and Wolfe Island Spring Craft Brewery to Frontenac Islands,” Prichard said. “As well, it has supported Limestone Organic
Creamery (in South Frontenac) and a number of other food and beverage businesses.” She said the funds in part would be used to participate in the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference, Canadian Restaurant Show and SIAL Toronto. “It would also enable the organization to become a member of Ontario East’s Food and Beverage sector,” she said.

The Warden will be busy on Canada Day 150 “The committee approved this so I’ll support it but I hope we won’t be seeing EOTA signage on the K & P,” said Coun. John Inglis. The agreement provides maintenance for $400 per kilometer and the trail will continue to be a “no fee” trail from Orser Road to Sharbot Lake. The agreement includes trail promotion and inclusion in maps and tradeshow, patrol, grading/gravel as required, mowing as required, relatively minor repairs to bridges, culverts and washouts. ••• Council gave its support to a resolution of both the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus and Western Ontario Wardens Caucus calling for more accessible and reliable natural gas outlets in rural areas despite skepticism from at least one Council member. “They’re not going to run the lines up to Plevna or to the Islands,” said Coun. Denis Doyle, Mayor of Frontenac Islands. In a position paper Aug. 14, EOWC chair Peter Emon said: “the formidable challenges of rural natural gas expansion, escalating energy costs and ongoing concerns surrounding electrical reliability are troubling realities for the EOWC. “While we applaud efforts to expand renewable wind power production in Ontario, several jurisdictions continue to

News — A plan to formally recognize Canada 150 by setting aside $10,000 for a ceremony and some sort of commemorate plaque or interpretive display was adopted by Frontenac County Council at its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie, but any such ceremony won’t be taking place on July 1. “I’m opposed to the date,” said Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal. “I’ve got four districts in my own Township and I have to get to each one for their Canada Day celebrations. “So unless this ceremony is going to be at 8 p.m. . . .” Vandewal said he wasn’t opposed to the project, only the timing. “I’ll be warden then but I won’t be at any ceremony, I’ll be in my own Township.” The measure passed with an “alternative date” to be decided. ••• Council agreed to enter into an agreement with the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance for maintenance of parts of the K & P Trail for $16,800 (50 per cent of the current trails management budget). CAO Kelly Pender said the EOTA agreement covers minor maintenance but if something like a major bridge washout occurs “you’re on your own.”

budget presentation” scheduled for an all-day affair on Nov. 19. However, there are several meetings and presentations scheduled before that day including Oct. 5, Oct. 12, the regular County Council meeting Oct. 19 and Nov. 12.

Ambassadors aim to bolster rebranding ‘In Frontenac’ By Tori Staff ord tstaff ord@metroland.com
News – From strolling along the K&P Trail with your family, to a romantic weekend away, or an exciting day of fishing, there’s no denying the plethora of things there are to see and do in Frontenac. That’s precisely why Frontenac County’s launched a new brand, encompassing the entire region and highlighting all the area has to offer with the tagline ‘In Frontenac.’ “It’s all about building the region up as a desirable place to live, work, do business, and it is what we make it,” Alison Vandervelde, communications officer for Frontenac County said of the new brand, which was launched in late July. “It was tough because part of what defines Frontenac, because we’re so big, is our diversity. So then how do you come up with a tagline that works for that? Well, in this case, the tagline system is perfect, because it works for whatever the region means to you… ‘In Frontenac’ can refer to what you love to do or what you enjoy about Frontenac. Our focus is on adventure and community, but in a way that is what you make it.” Vandervelde pointed out that both ‘adventure’ and ‘community’ can mean entirely different things to different people – for a mother of two, it could be taking the little ones to explore
the waterfront, but for a single 20-something who likes to cycle, it could mean biking the full 46 km of the K&P Trail. The hope is that those who live, work, play or visit the area will us the tagline as a hashtag on social media to share with others all of the things that make Frontenac special. With all of that in mind, Frontenac County has introduced a Brand Ambassador program, inviting businesses and community groups that want to help grow the brand to become official ambassadors of the brand and area. “It’s focusing on businesses and community organizations that want to be part of the collaborative effort of building the reputation of the region,” Vandervelde explained, adding that this opportunity speaks to the branding in that it is open to personal interpretation and can be whatever an ambassador chooses to make it. “There are the seven brand ambassadors already on board, and the goal is 100 by the end of the year. These ambassadors can use the tagline in marketing and on social media to proJen Ormsbee is the owner of mote their business or group while, at the same Ormsbee Mercantile in Frontenac time, promoting the area as a whole.” County Jenn Ormsbee, owner of Ormsbee’s Mercantile, said she immediately wanted to become an ambassador when she was approached to do so.

officially being an ambassador. I am very proud to be a part of the county and participate in as many events locally as I can, and we try to support other businesses as well,” said Ormsbee, whose family has owned and operated the generalstore-meets-bakery-and-restaurant for the past three years. “I am proud to promote the county and be on the ground level of the rebranding and where we’re going to take it. I am super-excited to see where this is going to go. There are so many great businesses and products throughout Frontenac.” For Ormsbee, whose husband’s family has been in Frontenac for six generations, promoting the area is second nature, and she already has plans to use the tagline wherever she can. From window clings that have been ordered for the store to stamping the bags she packages yummy baked goods in with ‘#InFrontenac,’ her hope is that those who see everything the area has to offer via social media will want to experience it for themselves. “I think we all support one another, it’s kind of the small town way – you know everyone by name, and you take care of your neighbour, and that reflects on your business,” Ormsbee said. “If we all flourish, if we’re all thriving, it’s going to bring more people to our region, and there’s no downside to that.”

Central Frontenac firefighters prepared at the Arden mill pond last Saturday to participate in the Fire Marshall’s periodic testing of the department’s capacity to load and pump water, hoping they’d be able to make 200 gallons per minute and continue its Superior Water Shuttle rating. Not only did they manage that with ease, the department actually managed to achieve 430 gallons per minute to be awarded a Commercial Rating. This advanced rating means area businesses should be able to benefit from lower insurance rates. Craig Bakay photo

News — The end of federal funding for subsidized housing is a “looming issue we know is going to occur,” Sheldon Laidman, director Housing and Social Services Department, City of Kingston, told County Council at its regular meeting in Glenburnie last week. (The Department administers social housing in the County as well.) When federal funding ends, the projected need for the County will be $6.3 million, he said. “Federal funding is going to zero in 2034, when it will be totally municipally funded,” he said. “There’s no purpose for me to ask (for funding) right now, I just wanted to bring it to your attention.” Laidman said the department is mandated to provide 2,003 units across the service area. Of those, about a hundred are located in the County. There are 28 rent-geared-to-income (RGI) units in Verona with a 2027 end of operating agreement (EOA); 30 units (16 RGI) in Project 1 in Loughborough District South Frontenac with a 2025 EOA, 25 units (12 RGI) in Project 2 in Loughborough with a 2019 EOA and 18 units in North Frontenac (all RGI) with EOA in 2026 and 2027. Laidman said the County pays the full amount of operating subsidy for each project which was budgeted at $438,000 in 2016. As well, the County pays administration costs (budgeted at $174,000 in

2016) and 100 per cent of capital costs for units in the County. “The net operating subsidy at EOA ranges from $1,400 per unit to $10,800 per unit,” he said. “The County has less flexibility to reduce costs unless new units are developed or units are moved out of the County.” Ironically, while the money to operate such units will be drying up, it appears there will be funds to build new ones, he said. “(But) our issue is operating costs, while the feds will likely want to fund capital builds,” he said. “You’d be silly to create new ones if you’re going to have those operating costs,” said Coun. Ron Higgins. “We have a waiting list of 1,200,” said Laidman. “Sounds like we will be facing increasing demands for social housing,” said Coun. John Inglis. Coun. John McDougall asked if Verona and/ or Loughborough could be self-sustaining if they were run by a not-for-profit corporation. “Loughborough is one of the closer ones to being self-suffi cient,” Laidman said. “(But) even now we’re losing ground while getting the federal subsidy.” Warden Frances Smith said the issues is “on the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus radar” and it will likely come up again next year when it will be Coun. Ron Vandewal’s turn to be Warden. “Not that it’s good news but the heads up is appreciated,” said Smith.

In Our Opinion
Passenger rail service return just a pie-in-the-sky fantasy for this region Column — Can we just put one thing to bed for now? There quite simply is not going to be a passenger rail service between Toronto and Ottawa any time in the near future, if ever. Yes, a VIA Rail representative did correspond with Mayor Frances Smith about the possibility. Her Worship shared that correspondence with Council and the Press. It’s not the first such letter I’ve seen. This thing seems to come up about every five or 10 years or so, probably after somebody in a position of authority listens to “ridin’ on the City of New Orleans� and gets to waxing nostalgic. Time was there were people riding trains all over Ontario. That doesn’t happen as much these days. Wanna know why? The cost of running a trail full of people
through the Ontario countryside far outweighs what people are prepared to pay for the privilege. It’s that simple. There will be no passenger trains in Ontario other than the ones that currently exist along the Toronto-Montreal corridor (and a few places in the north, for example the trans-Canada rail system) because the cost far outweighs potential revenues. Just assuming somebody might actually get serious about the idea, where would this rail line run? Canadian National Railways already gave up most of its smaller rural rail lines, selling them off to become snowmobile tracks. Getting back those right-of-ways would be a near-impossible task in this day and age of legal crappola. But even if they could get the land back, they’d have to spend half a gazillion dollars to lay down track again and more importantly — comply with environmental regulations. Even if the rail company could somehow circumvent the regulations, there’d be lawsuits everywhere, not to mention protest groups and a bunch of pissed-off beavers.
And there are lots of people living next to what used to be rail lines. I’m one of them. If they want to put a noisy, diesel-smelly locomotive coming down the old K & P rail line through Sharbot Lake, they’d better expect a whoppin’-great lawsuit. There’s no question railroads are a bit part of our heritage. That heritage needs to be remembered. But there’s no going back to it. Oh I suppose somebody might come up with some sort of futuristic magnetic monorail plan that’s very quiet and doesn’t screw up the environment. Word is that there are some nifty systems in Japan. But seriously, how many scifi systems ever see the light of day? And good old Ontario, as progressive and modernistic as we like to think we are, good old Ontario is arguably the stodgiest jurisdiction in North America. We haven’t managed to innovate much, despite our blustering to the contrary. So, to those who are all giddy about the prospects of a return to passenger rail service in the area, or to those who are horrified at the idea — relax. It just ain’t happening.

Picking a national bird: is it really necessary? As Canadians, we have a national anthem, a national animal (the beaver), national colours, a national emblem and two national sports (hockey and lacrosse), but to the surprise of some, we have no national bird. The Americans have the eagle, the British have the robin, the French have the rooster and event the New Zealanders have the kiwi, but somewhere along the way, Canada never identified a national bird. But did anyone really notice? Recently, in 2015, the Royal Canadian Geographic Society noticed. They put a call out to name a national bird in time for Canada’s 150th birthday next year and now the race is well underway. They originally narrowed the list to 40 different birds that Canadians were asked to vote for, and now, the list has been narrowed to just four: the loon, the snowy owl, the grey jay, also know as the whiskey jack, and of course the Canadian goose. Unsurprisingly, the loon has been the runaway favourite and that is likely because many just assumed that the loon already was the national bird – it even has a place on our national currency. The final decision will be made in December of 2016, but debates seem to be heating up about this selection. Many are asking Canadians to pick a more unique choice like the grey jack, which breeds all across Canada and doesn’t travel south in the winter months. Others are asking for a choice that is not associated with provinces in Canada; the snowy owl is the provincial bird of Quebec and the loon is the provincial bird of Ontario. Some feel that by picking either of these options, the national bird will seem like a nod or a show of favouritism to that province. In the end though, is all of this debate really necessary? Sure, it is important to have birds, songs, and sports to represent a country, but does it really mean anything? Regardless, Canada will have a national bird by the end of the year. Hopefully it will be able to make an appearance when Canada turns 150 next July.

British nurse who travels to Ireland to examine the case of a young girl who appears to have survived without food for several weeks. “It was good to go back to my homeland to write a novel and this particular story,” says Donoghue, who grew up in Ireland and currently lives in London, Ontario. The story is based on real life accounts of “fasting girls”, who were quite a phenomenon at the time. Why exactly they fasted and if and how they were able to survive without eating remains a mystery. “They didn’t give interviews for the papers themselves but lots of people would write in and say ‘I know this girl who’s fasting and I think she’s a saint’ and somebody else would write in and say “she must be a total fraud, she must be seeking food’. People had all sorts of wacky theories about them.” The story is told from the point of view of the nurse, who is trying to understand the situation. “It makes it a very suspenseful setup, but it’s also an interesting culture clash because the nurse is English and very rational and middle class and she’s creeped out by what she sees as the superstitions of the Catholic Irish,” Donoghue explains.

Roberts began his journey on May 1, 2016, soundtrack of his journey to take a phone call, heavy gusts of wind shaking the shopping cart pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise awareness about youth homelessness and how he’s pushing from across the country. “Wind and traffi c: it’s my life,” he said, to solve that problem while raising funds to institute the programs he hopes will eradicate laughing. “This is nothing!

“I ended up like 67 per cent of young people in this country: I experienced homelessness very young because of family conflict,” Edwards explained. “My father died early, my stepfather was an abusive, violent alcoholic, and by the time I was 15, I just couldn’t live at home anymore, it was just constant fisticuffs. And so I left.” But, as Roberts said, that is the sad part of his story. “The good news is I had a support system of people who helped me exit. With the help of my mom and an OPP police officer, a doorway of opportunity opened for me,” he said. Roberts entered detox right here in Kingston before going through drug rehabilitation in Belleville. There, he attended Loyalist College in business marketing, where he earned several awards for his academic achievements. He moved on to become the CEO of Mindware Design Communications, and within the decade, he was on the cover of Canadian Business magazine as a celebrated technology entrepreneur. But Roberts knew then what he still knows today: not all homeless youth will escape the streets like he did. Regardless of his success, Roberts wasn’t fulfilled until he made the decision to fight youth homelessness, he said. And to Roberts, The Push for Change and bringing awareness to the issue is just the beginning. “The walk is one piece of a longer vision. When the walk is done, we’ll have done something significant that we can continue to advocate from for many, many years,” he said, noting that one of the most important parts of The Push for Change for him has been meeting with youth currently experiencing homelessness and
sharing his insights on how to break the cycle. “Our long term vision as a foundation for after the walk is complete is that we want to see school-based screening programs in every high school and in the country, so that we’re able to help young people in their crisis before they become homeless,” he said. “In the western world, we tend to throw a lot of dollars and energy at emergency services and frontline agencies, and we absolutely need to do that, but if we really want to support them in a deep and meaningful way, we should be working at stemming the flow. And that’s prevention.” Roberts and The Push for Change will arrive in Kingston and participate in community events on October 6 and 7. Here, he will engage with local youth, speak at a community luncheon, and tour a number of local agencies that serve homeless youth. The entire two days of events locally were arranged by the local United Way and sponsored by Cushman and Wakefield Kingston, Real Estate Brokerage, Roberts explained, noting that Cushman and Wakefield president, Peter Kostagiannis, has been a true friend to the campaign and championed Kingston as a stop on The Push for Change. For Roberts, the goal of this and every stop along the way is to explain the importance of preventing and ending youth homelessness. “My little girl asked me ‘Dad, what do you want to accomplish?’ and I said ‘Well, maybe in your lifetime, maybe in mine, we can visit youth homelessness in a museum where it belongs,” Roberts said. “I want to forever change the way we address it nationally. And we can do that.” To find out more about the events scheduled when The Push for Change comes to Kingston, go to www. thepushforchange.com/events.

Room author Emma Donoghue on WritersFest, filmmaking and her latest project Continued from page 9
Many festival-goers will likely also be interested in Donoghue’s recent success in the film industry; earlier this year, she was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay of Room, which she adapted from the novel herself. The movie was both a critical and commercial success. “The whole experience was wonderful,” she says, explaining that it was important to her not to ‘sell out’ to Hollywood. “I sold it to a small Irish company, to a director I knew was going to make a beautiful film of it. We filmed it in Toronto and kept it very indie.” Donoghue remarks that telling the story of Room, which is about a young woman and her son escaping their kidnap-
per then adapting to life in the outside world, was an entirely different sort of challenge when writing it as a script as opposed to a novel. “Plays and films, they go by fast. You have to be very selective of what you show and you can’t spell everything out. But on the other hand you’ve got the visual, you’ve got the actors, so some things come across much faster… I really try to write in that spirit of appreciation of what film can do as opposed to what fiction can do.” Unlike The Wonder, Room is a contemporary story, and Donoghue says she has enjoyed writing a mix of historical and contemporary novels throughout her career. “I like the contrast between them. [Historical novels] are maybe a bit more work in that you have to research every little
thing. You can’t even have a character walking down a road without saying to yourself, ‘hang on, did they have sidewalks’?” On the other hand, she says creating a sense of drama is much easier in stories set a hundred or more years ago. “Back before the welfare state, if you made a single mistake in your life you could end up dead. They didn’t have fire insurance - everything was like a high stakes game.” Donoghue notes that “historical fiction is sometimes seen as a lowbrow genre but this context [at WritersFest], reading with Annie Proulx, puts it on this very, very high level.” To learn more about WritersFest and purchase tickets, visit https://www.kingstonwritersfest.ca.
Pump House Steam Museum’s new Learning Lab is fun for all ages
By Rob Mooy
“Welcome to the Pump House Steam Museum”, greets Miriam Michielin, museum interpreter. “Feel free to touch, play and learn with all the exhibits in our new Learning Lab.” Times sure have changed from when museums were only look and do-not-touch institutions. These days more and more museums are filled with interactive hands-on displays and, one of Kingston’s more popular museums, the Pump House Steam Museum is no exception. While renovations to the Discovery Centre are underway at the back end of the museum, a Learning Lab exhibit – a science exhibit aimed
at kids from Kindergarten to Grade 4 – has opened in the Engineerium exhibition space. “The Learning Lab is all based upon inquiry based learning,” says curator Gordon Robinson. “Kids will come in and they are the scientist.” Young scientists entering the lab put on a lab coat, grab a pair of safety glasses and a clipboard. “On the clip board we have an evaluation. What we get them to do is go around to each activity and evaluate how enjoyable each activity is and what they learned from it,” explains Robinson. Continued on page13

Learning Lab is fun for all ages Continued from page 12
“In one way it’s fun for the children to learn, and share what their favourite exhibit was, but in another way it’s for us to learn.” The exhibit is helping the museum gather feedback that they hope to use as a guide for what to include in the Discovery Centre. “In turn, take the best and/ or modify or adapt and create new, so we can put these displays back in a different form,” said Robinson. This will tell museum staff which different types of learning styles are working, what activities are good, what’s doable, ultimately creating a better museum experience. The Learning Lab is a family friendly exhibit with hands on activities that will keep even the smallest hands busy. One of the first things young a scientist discovers upon entering the lab is a giant air cannon/wind tunnel. Eager to have a turn, youngsters approach the cannon and are given a very simple prompt – score 50 points using the different objects provided. “Some will fly better than others, some will not fly at all,” says Robinson. “It’s up to the kids to discover which works best. So we are not leading, but rather prompt them and let them discover on their own and learn at the same time.” Another area of the exhibit deals with logic, special reasoning, and spatial awareness. Here, participants will find Pentominoes, different shapes and puzzles, which can be arranged in a number of different shapes. “This area is very much puzzle and math based,” says Robinson. “It’s a logic break.”
Just around the corner is the magnetic wall, where using magnets, two inch pipes and wooden balls, visitors create a pathway and then pop in a wooden ball to see if it makes it all the way through. “Here we learn about how things go together, angles and velocity. Trial and error learning really. A little bit of magnetic fun. Everything in here is educational,” explains Robinson. “But yet again, it’s mostly them discovering by themselves. And that was the whole intent of this lab. That they figure it out and have fun doing it.” Another area of the lab is filled with fun puzzles. Here, while wearing inversion goggles visitors attempt to draw between the lines or through a maze. “The Brain adapts to what it sees. We see an image and it gets flipped and your brain corrects for us, in this area we see what happens when you mess with this. I’m terrible at these,” adds
Robinson. “But kids are great; they figure it out really quickly, adapt and go from there.” The interactive lab will go a long way in helping establish what will be included in the new Discovery Centre, scheduled for completion in the spring. “It’s all about expanding the footprint of the museum and making it fully accessible,” says Robinson. “Not only will there be new displays and activities, but there will also be a new school group entrance, larger Discovery Cen- We handle all locks from conventional to electric keypads to Bluetooth!

Kingston hosted a primal, tribal even, event recently that attracted people from every walk of life and every age range. The inaugural Limestone City Tattoo and Arts Festival was a wild success, with community members showing up in droves, filling the conference centre at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in downtown Kingston. Some came to look; others came for ink, getting a new tattoo etched permanently into their body. Co-organizer and tattoo artist Andrew Ottenhof said they are still sifting through all the numbers but he’s thrilled that expectations were met. He figures about 3000 people passed through the doors during the two-day/ evening event. “The community support was fantastic,” he said. “The biggest thing was having people enjoy themselves. We want to keep it as a grass roots event.” Close to 40 volunteers gave their time to help make the festival a success. “A lot of people were willing to donate their energy,” said Ottenhof. “We couldn’t have made the weekend work without all those people.” Ottenhof wanted it to be a family friendly and inclusive event where everyone felt welcome: from babies in strollers to those hanging in pouches on their mother’s or father’s chest to teenagers, college students and senior citizens. They all came. Looked like if you ink it, they will come. “We had such a great response from the com-
munity,” he said. “People kept telling us that, for this being a first-time event, we really knocked it out of the park. For the longest time, we kept hearing that the tattoo community was a closed community. It’s still one of those fringe sort of things, so it’s really cool that so many people got a chance to see what it’s all about.” He explained that tattoos are a form of artistic expression, self expression and self fulfillment. He said that some people who may have had reservations became enticed by the festival and came out and enjoyed themselves. I saw everyone from doctors and soccer moms to bikers and musicians in the crowd. At the popular stencil tattoo booth, children (and adults) could select temporary tattoos that volunteers applied to arms and legs. “Without sounding corny and cheesy, it felt like one big family,” said Ottenhof. “From people who were there to get tattoos to the artists, organizers and people from the community coming in the door, it really had the vibe we wanted. It was the nicest group of people.” Visual artist Shannon Brown (shannonbrownstudio.com) whose art was in the gallery exhibition already has two tattoos and would like to get another. “The vibe [at the festival] was really dynamic,” she said. “People were positive about my artwork and about the experience in general.” She enjoyed seeing so many people getting tattoos. “There were a lot of endorphins and
pumped up raw energy in the room with people going under the needle. There were lots of really beautiful tattoos, too. I saw a woman with her whole back done up in a symmetrical line design, like a lacy mandala. But her eyes were red from crying; it can be very painful.” More than 40 tattoo artists worked solid hours through the two days and evenings of the festival. Any appointments still available when the festival got under way filled quickly. Ottenhof explained that part of the organizational process for the festival included vetting the artists to ensure the highest calibre of talent. This included the tattoo artists themselves, as well as tattoo supply companies as well as the visual artists who exhibited their work in the gallery at the festival. Sara Heyman, who visited the festival with her three-year-old daughter and 18-month-old son, wanted to see the body art and other art on display. She has four tattoos of her own, but wasn’t in a position to get new ink on the weekend. “Not with a three-year-old tagging along,” she said, laughing. She explained that for many people, including herself, each tattoo has an important meaning to the wearer. “It’s a work of art,” she said. “It tells you something about the person. You get an idea of their personality by looking at their tattoos.” Continued on page 15

She got her first tattoo, a yin/yang symbol, when she was 18. “I got it when my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Heyman. “It was kind of an homage to her and something to help her keep strength.” She said the atmosphere at the Limestone festival was welcoming and fun. Her only recommendation would be for a larger venue as things were cramped at times with so many people on site. That attests to the success of the festival. Andrew Ottenhof also commented on the success, and hopes to run the event again next
Colour your world (and body) year. “This year, we wanted to keep all the artists working and busy, so we made it a two-day show,” he said. “We don’t plan on having more artists, but we might make it a three-day show since we saw a huge amount of support from people in the community.” Rob McLellan, a volunteer at the festival, has worked in the hospitality industry and said that from his perspective everything went very well. The only issue McLellan saw was a “good problem.” “There were so many people that the venue needed to be bigger, but who knew it was going to be so awesome?”
Tattoo artists from across North America created tattoos on hundreds of participants at the recent inaugural Limestone City Tattoo and Arts Festival at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel. Mark Bergin photo
McLellan got his own first tattoo in 1998. He said that a tattoo is a way of artistically expressing yourself, and it can be a bonding experience. “My wife and I and my best friend and I have gotten tattoos together,” he said. “It’s a way of bonding. It’s this thing you’ll have between you forever.” I understand what he meant. I got new ink this year, because my 18-yearold daughter, Maureen, asked if we could get matching tattoos. We are both fans of everything Peter Pan. So Maureen got a large Neverland pirate ship on her shoulder and I got pixie dust tattooed along my right arm. Our tattoo artist, Bailey, from Burlington, was on a new family adventure of her own. She was married in the past month and her husband was staffing the booth with her at the tattoo festival. To add a little extra quirkiness to the experience, Maureen, along with Cristina Goncalvez, who are both members of the Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project, wore tutus. To the best of anyone’s knowledge at the festival, they’d never seen anyone wearing a tutu getting a tattoo. With the success of the inaugural event, Kingston can look forward to a second annual Limestone City Tattoo and Arts Festival. Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, September 29, 2016
In 1993, Aperture published Sebastião Salgado’s photographic documentary book “Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age.” Over seven years. Salgado explored the world of workers in 26 countries. “I saw that we were arriving at the end of the first big industrial revolution, where the role of the worker inside that model was changed,” said Salgado in a TED Talk. “And I made this decision to pay homage to the working class.” Salgado did so with a stunning collection of photographs that captures workers in all their grit and glory. In last week’s column, I wrote about the dangers of retirement. Today, when jobs are disappearing and roles of workers are changing, I’m going to start looking at the roles of different workers and their careers in our city. Over the next several months, I’ll be meeting with and job-following
workers. A community is like a giant bee hive. Interdependent roles keep everything running. But imagine if suddenly there was no one to fix the roads or plow them in winter. Suppose there was no one available to do triage in the emergency room, what then? In an era when too many are focused on “star” quality and celebrity, where much of life is mere facade, we need to return to a reasonable perception of what’s important in our culture. So I’ll be saluting workers, the salt of the earth. Things are not looking great for the worker in North America. In the United States, the next president is not going to be labor friendly. Donald Trump says he’s all for the working person. Meanwhile, he’s screwed the working person at every opportunity. Hillary Clinton says she’s pro labor, although her history contradicts this. Just look at her actions when she served on the union-busting Walmart Board of Directors. In Canada, you’ll be able to watch jobs disappear after our selfieobsessed “leader” ratifies the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), continuing along his predictable path of saying whatever his con-
stituents want to hear, but doing the opposite. Sebastião Salgado, born in 1944, earned a master’s degree in economics at the University of Sao Paulo in his home country, Brazil. He worked for the International Coffee Organization, but by 1973, he’d grown restless. He took a major career leap and entered the world of documentary photography. The film Salt of the Earth, released in 2014, documents the work of Salgado. This photographer/social activist doesn’t just skim the surface. Peter Fetterman (New York Times) noted: “Other photojournalists go in and out for a day. Sebastião goes and lives with his subjects for weeks before he even takes a picture.” So in the coming months, in this column, I hope to share the experiences of people and their work. In Canada, workers are supposed to have rights. These include hours of work and overtime rules. There is a minimum wage which an employer must, by law, pay their workers. Most workers have the right to annual vacations with pay (in Ontario, teachers are Continued on page 17

Continued from page 16
excluded from this basic human right. They get no vacation pay and do not get paid for their summers off). Employers are expected to give employees time for
meal breaks. But even these most basic of rights are sometimes ignored. Loopholes are found. Workers in Canada have the right to work in a safe and healthy environment. In theory, employees have the right to refuse unsafe work. If a worker is injured on the job, they have the right to receive worker’s compensation benefits. Employers in Canada cannot refuse to hire workers because of race, religion, ethnic origin, skin colour, sex, age, marital status, disability or sexual orientation. On the job, employers or other workers are not allowed to discriminate or make racist or offensive comments. Internation-
ally, the United Nations supports workers rights as part of human rights. Articles 23 and 24 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights state that: Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment. Everyone has the right to equal pay for equal work. Everyone who works has the right to just and favorable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection. Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his or her interests. Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay. In 2004, at the 10th World Congress on Human Resources Management, Dr. Estelle Morin presented on work in post-modern times. In our modern globalized world, much has changed in the role of workers. Morin, a psychologist, explained
that work is vital for human beings. vidual fits into the world, creates new “It is a critical activity for the pres- relations, uses his talents, learns and ervation of personal health.

Family’s tradition helps local NICU and the families it serves By Tori Stafford
tstafford@metroland.com
News – Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that mean the most, and nowhere is this more apparent than inside the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of any hospital. It’s something Shayne Bampton and his wife, Stephanie Jesshope, know all too well. When their son, Emmett, was born in October of 2009, it was two and a half months before he was due to enter the world. At a tiny two pounds and 11 ounces, Emmett’s early birth came with even more surprises: not expecting a premature baby, Bampton and Jesshope’s stocked dressers held clothes for their baby boy beginning with sizes 0-3 months – all of which were too large for Emmett. With a child in the NICU of Kingston General Hospital (KGH), Bampton found himself faced with even more stress as he had to leave his wife and baby to go out

in search of clothing for a premature child. “I found limited supplies in the local stores… it was so stressful for me,” Bampton expressed. “I was a new dad, I had a baby in the hospital and we didn’t know whether or not he was going to make it, and I had no idea what the heck I was doing when I was going baby clothes shopping.” Bampton laughs now when he recalls the frenzied shopping spree, but his voice changes when he recalls that stress. It was something he’ll never forget, he said, and something he and Jesshope don’t wish upon any other parent. For that reason, once the family was finally able to bring baby Emmett home and the happy, healthy boy grew out of the preemie clothing, they made a decision based in logic – little did they know that decision would become a family legacy. “We had all of this stuff that we weren’t going to be able to use. We weren’t going to have another child, so we decided not to keep it,” Bampton ex-

plained, noting that they held on to a few items for their memory box, but had a lot of items left over. “So we went back to the NICU and gave them to the staff there after two or three months. We said ‘pass these along to people who can use them, because we know what it’s like and we want to make it easier for them.’” As Bampton describes, there is a sense of camaraderie and community amongst those in the NICU. The nurses, physicians, specialists and staff all become like family that you’ve bonded with through one of the most important and difficult times of your life, he said. The gratitude Emmett’s family had for those dedicated professionals combined with the empathy they felt for other families like theirs meant that the first donation of a few dozen outfits would be far from the last they made. The next year, the family reached out to their family and friends, explaining that they wanted to do the same thing again on Emmett’s birthday. Those who could knit or crochet created tiny mitts

Family’s tradition helps local NICU and the families it serves and hats; those who had preemie clothing they no longer needed were asked to donate the items; and those who could donate funds or time were asked to purchase preemie clothing or act as a collection site for those donating items. The goal was not to raise funds, but to donate items for parents with children in the NICU in an effort to alleviate stress. On Emmett’s first birthday, the family raised about $1000 in funds and items, turning the funds into items needed before dropping off the donation. Then, on Emmett’s second birthday, that number grew, as more friends and family members spread the word and more people from Kingston and well beyond saw the same need Emmett’s family did. Bampton, a professional photographer, offered free family photo sessions to anyone who donated $200 or more, and the donation became a yearly tradition, known as ‘Emmett’s Annual KGH NICU Donation.’ Each year the amount of funds and clothing items coming in grew steadily. This year, Emmett will turn seven on October 17, and the family will once again make the trip down to KGH with their SUV loaded up with donations to help families in the NICU. But something a little different has happened this year, too. For the first time, two corporate sponsors stepped up offering to match donations. The first was Sunlife* Financial, who offered to match the first $1000 raised – which happened within the first few days of the campaign. The second was K-Rock 105.7 FM, where local radio personality and Bampton’s friend, Sideshow, had learned of Emmett’s Annual KGH NICU Donation last year when he and his wife had a premature daugh-
ter. Sideshow brought Bampton on the air and pledged that K-Rock would also match the next $1,000 raised. At the same time, local businesses that caught wind of the fundraiser began donating items to use as rewards for donations, and Bampton’s photography colleagues also stepped up to donate their services in lieu of Bampton doing all of the family photo shoots – something that had become too much work for one person as the donations increased annually. Funds that are donated will be used to purchase more than clothing items for the babies that go through KGH’s NICU, too. This year, the family is looking into buying parking vouchers and meal vouchers as a means to further help the families in the NICU. And what’s more is that the family donates it all to be doled out at the discretion of the staff and team that run the NICU. “They know when someone needs something, and who needs what,” said Bampton, noting that the NICU at KGH serves families from all across eastern Ontario, many of whom need to stay in Kingston for weeks at a time. “And what it does is it allows the families to not have to worry about other things. They can rest easier and know they can spend as much time with their baby as possible… and that’s something the NICU staff put a huge emphasis on.” Indeed, being as hands-on in their child’s treatment is something the KGH NICU staff encourage immensely, explained Stacey Wolfrom, program manager of the NICU. “It’s really important for parents to be there, not only in terms of the baby being held and that skin-to-skin contact that’s so important for early

development, but also for the bonding and the reassurance for the parent,” said Wolfrom, who described Emmett’s Annual KGH NICU Donation as “wonderful” and “obviously heartfelt.” “When people do bring in their premature clothes that they no longer need, it’s something that we think provides a really invaluable service,” she said. “It’s so nice to have the babes dressed in as normal-looking clothing as possible. There’s already so much that medical-izes it – with all of the tubes and everything, it’s so unfamiliar – but to see them bundled up in an adorable outfit I think just brings a little piece of normalcy to the parents, and a little piece of comfort to the
babe.” As for Emmett: his health wasn’t an issue after leaving the NICU, and he is now a vibrant, intelligent soon-to-be-seven-year-old who considers the annual donation “just something my family does.” “He can get a little shy about it sometimes, but he definitely understands what we do and why we do it,” Bampton said. “He tells people ‘This is what my family does to help the other little babies like me!’” To find out more about Emmett’s Annual KGH NICU Donation, go to www.emmettbampton.ca, which will redirect you to the Facebook page.

Local agency aims to inform community of their services and success tstafford@metroland.com
News – A teacher calls to report concerns about a student in his class; an entire family sits down to discuss how they can remain a family unit; an adoption is finalized and a young girl is able to accompany her parents to her new home. All of the above can happen on any given day at Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, along with so many other things the agency does and provides for children and families in our community. And those who work to ensure those services
continue to help local families, youth and children want you to know just how much can happen in their building in 24 hours. “I think for a long time there have been increased calls for people to understand child welfare better,” said Steve Woodman, executive director of Family and Children’s Services. “It’s been called accountability, and there’s been a real hunger on behalf of society to understand the work we do, and to know that we’re doing good work.” To that end, Family and Children’s Services, the local Children’s Aid Society (CAS), is launching a 24 hour social media project entitled ‘A
Day in the Life.’ Aimed at allowing the public to see everything the local agency does, Family and Children’s Services will offer a fly-on-the-wall perspective over social media. With video vignettes, photo galleries and infographics rolled out every hour on the hour (and sometimes in between) via Facebook and Twitter, A Day in the Life will take place on Saturday, Sept. 29, and will coincide with the release of the agency’s 2016 Report to the Community. While the identities of those involved in each scenario will be withheld, the project aims to separate the concepts of ‘privacy’ and ‘secrecy,’ the former being of utmost importance, and the latter a perceived notion widely held about the way CAS branches operate, which the local agency is aiming to dispel. “So I believe that for many years child welfare has taken privacy so seriously that it has actually created an environment of secrecy. What we’re doing with this is we’re giving people a chance to see what actually goes on inside a child welfare agency during a typical day, and to expand their view of all of the services we provide,” Woodman explained. “Right now, typically, if you ask
Steve Woodman, executive director of Family and Children’s SerPhoto/Tori Stafford vices
people what we do, I think they would say ‘They take children and they put them in foster care, and they
do adoptions,’ but the services we Continued on page 26

provide are much broader and deeper than that. In fact that is only a small piece of the business we do.” Most of the work that takes place at Family and Children’s Services is actually aimed at helping families, Woodman expressed, and taking children into care is very small percentage of that work. When a situation arises where I child does need to be
taken into care, that child usually goes home of to kin fairly quickly, he explained. “Most of our work is focused on helping families to overcome whatever difficulty they have, and we do not do so in isolation, but with community partners and with volunteers,” Woodman said. “We work with community partners in mental health services, addiction services, and other organizations, all aimed at supporting the family unit whenever
it is safe to do so.” Four years ago, Family and Children’s Services created their new vision ‘Children Growing Up in Families,’ something Woodman calls one of the most substantial changes to child welfare in recent history. This vision is aimed at reducing the actual number of children in care, and trying to ensure each child either returned to their family, placed with kin, or placed with a family they can grow up in as quickly as possible.
Credit Card Bills? Other Debts? Tax Struggles? Never Enough Money To Go Around? Make one low monthly payment No Interest, No Penalty Stop legal actions and garnishments
That vision has resulted in a remarkable number: 300. This year, the local agency hit the range of having only 300 children in care. This number speaks to the work the agency has done with their vision in mind, explained John Suart, manager of community relations for Family and Children’s Services. “We’ve reduced the number of kids in our care in the last decade by 40%, and [being in] the range of 300 children in care, that’s ac-
tually 30 per cent less than the number of children in care since we amalgamated in 2012,” Suart said. “We’re putting more emphasis on prevention, and it shows.” While Family and Children’s Services will roll out the A Day in the Life campaign on September 29, all of the information, videos and photos will be available online at any time.

Events – For as long as language has existed, oral storytelling has been the first form of both communication and art known to mankind. It’s these roots in history and the expressive nature of storytelling that inspired Mike Sheppard of Blue Canoe Productions to come up with Viva Voce, a coffeehousestyle showcase where writers, poets and playwrights share their work in their own voices. The name speaks to this: Viva Voce is the Latin term for ‘word of mouth,’ and refers to the traditional form of storytelling this showcase aims to foster. Blue Canoe has hosted such events in the past, but Viva Voce: Our Youth, Telling Our Stories will be unlike any other, and will take place this coming weekend as part of Ontario Culture Days and Kingston WritersFest. Ontario Culture Days named Sheppard, who is known for championing youth involvement in the arts, a Youth Arts Ambassador earlier this year. Along with four other Ambassadors across the province, Sheppard was given the task to create a new community arts project to premiere during the 2016 Culture Days, which take place
September 30 and October 1 and 2. Having worked on Viva Voce events in the past with Barbara Bell, artistic director of Kingston WritersFest, which is happening at the same time, Sheppard immediately thought the opportunity to bring these two events together was too good to pass up. “WritersFest has wanted to work with Blue Canoe for a while using the Viva Voce model, and they wanted to do a storytelling coffee house for youth,” Sheppard said. “They work with youth already in such a big way, so we thought it was a great way to combine forces and add a youth voice to not only Culture Days, but to WritersFest as well.” Taking place on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., Viva Voce will showcase youth between the ages of 13 and 30, telling their own stories in their own style and voice. Those presenting will include two playwrights – one presenting a monologue and the other a scene – as well as a poet and a writer, who will present a short story. These presentations will take place following festival featured writer and published young poet, Ashley-Elizabeth Best, reading from her debut collection, Slow States of Collapse. Presentations will include the two winners of the Merilyn Simonds Protégé
