Cancellation of renewable energy projects welcome news to NF mayor But there is more work to be done in the energy sector, he said. “I’m not against green energy,” Higgins News — Ontario Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault’s announcement last week that it said. “I just don’t like the process. “The Green Energy Act overrides won’t be signing $3.8 billion in renewable energy contracts was welcome news to one municipal Official Plans and Zoning Bylaws local politician who has been fighting plans and to me it’s the root of the problem.” Higgins said the decision did come as a to build wind farms in his Township for surprise but one that served to show him awhile now. “I’m thrilled,” said North Frontenac they could work with the new Minister. “We were supposed to meet with the Mayor Ron Higgins. “And I think 115 municipalities being opposed to such Minister and I’d still like to consult with development without them having any say in him,” he said. “I’m very happy with the new Minister and his willingness to compromise. it played a big part in the decision.” “The previous minister just shut us out.” Cancellation of the Large Renewable Higgins said most of the feedback he’s Procurement II (LRP) was a move to reduce gotten has been positive, other than one electricity bills, the Minister said. “I’ve been tasked to find ways to bring email. “And that email was from Central bills down,” he said. “When our experts said we didn’t need it (the 1,000 megawatts Frontenac,” he said. “But the majority of of power the LRP II projects would have people here are happy with the decision. “Landowners who’ve already signed produced), I acted.” (For comparison, the Darlington nuclear agreements won’t be happy but they can’t say anything because of non-disclosure power station generates 3,500 megawatts.) Higgins said that there were still some current clauses.” The move won’t stop 16 projects contracts he’d like to see cancelled and there is still a group of municipalities continuing to approved last winter (5 wind, 7 solar and work towards repealing the Green Energy Act 4 hydroelectric) but will stop a proposed but he’s optimistic they can work with the new $2.45 per month charge from appearing on Minister.

Central Frontenac to consider supporting two solar installations under FIT program News — Central Frontenac Council asked staff to create a report before considering Abundant Solar’s request for support on two 3-acre solar installations at its regular meeting last week in Piccadilly. Rob Hitchcock, business development manager for Abundant Solar, told Council there was a window opening Oct. 31 and he was there to request municipal support for the two projects for Feed-InTariff (FIT) contracts under the Independent Electricity System Operator program on behalf of 2503072 Ontario Inc. Both projects are 250 kilowatt generating operations and both are located in Kennebec District midway between the hamlet of Henderson and Kennebec Lake. “Abundant Solar Energy Inc., representing the applicant, is a solar photovoltaic development company,” project coordinator Ina Lila said in a letter to the Township. “It has more than 300 solar projects under development. It was a beautiful day for giving the old spinning wheel a workout for “We lease non-agricultural small Tracy Asselstine of Old Apple Ridge Farm at the Sharbot Lake Farmers land parcels from your residents for the small FIT Solar program Market last weekend. The market continues ‘til Thanksgiving. Craig Bakay/Metroland (and) we employ local residents for

the development, construction and maintenance of the project for 20 years.” When asked in an interview, Hitchcock said the provincial government’s announcement to scrap any new large renewable energy projects didn’t affect projects like this. “They are two totally different programs,” he said. “I’ve never been a big fan of the large projects anyways.” Hitchcock said he has a background in chemistry and that’s what attracted him to the FIT program and smaller scale solar installations. “I liked the chemistry of it,” he said. “(And), the solar peak generation matches peak demand. “It’s a nice fit with base generation.” In fact, Hitchcock said there is potential for municipalities to be power generators. “We have some municipal partners,” he said. “There is the potential there.” The Ontario FIT program was launched in 2009 to encourage the development of renewable energy technology and attract investment. In 2012, there were several changes to the program, which had almost

Godfrey Post Office reopening back on table •••

News — Mayor Frances Smith said at Central Frontenac’s regular meeting last week in Piccadilly she’d been in contact with Canada Post and reopening the post office in Godfrey was on the table. “The last time we met in Piccadilly we were talking about the Godfrey post office,” she said. “Canada Post will be sending out surveys to customers soon. “However, if the post office were to reopen, it would mean removal of (some) group boxes (and) the post office would only be open for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon.” ••• Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald reported some disturbing news coming from his capacity as Township representative on the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. “Ottawa representatives are proposing that whenever there is work done on a dam, say on the Mazinaw system, and that work would benefit local residents, there should be area rating fees involved,” MacDonald said. Currently there is no area rating system for Conservation Authority funding from municipalities. “I’m dead set against the proposal and am fighting it,” MacDonald said.

a On for Limited Time

Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald told Council he was very impressed with GREC’s new electronic sign, and especially with the parentsteachers group who raised the funds for it. “They raised $23,000 and they had a fiveyear window,” he said. “They did it in 26 months. “I propose we send a letter of commendation to the group responsible.”

Coun, Brent Cameron asked what recourse the Township had when contracts (for things like grass cutting, snow plowing, etc) aren’t fulfilled. “The grass here in Piccadilly Cemetery hasn’t been cut in quite awhile,” he said. Clerk/CAO Cathy MacMunn said the Township had several options to enforce contracts and in the case of the cemetery, it was being dealt with. “(Coun.) Phillip (Smith) also raised the issue earlier,” she said.

••• Council approved a three-year contract with the Kingston Humane Society for 2017-2019 pound services with nominal fee increases. Impounding fees increase by $2.50 ($52.50 total), boarding fees increase by $1.25 ($26.25 total), facilities maintenance fee increases by $30 ($630 total) and transportation fees increase by $0.02 per kilometer ($0.47 per kilometer total).

••• In response to a councilor’s question about what the Township’s monthly policing costs were, both Mayor Frances Smith and Clerk/ CAO Cathy MacMunn were quick to answer: “$98,620.” ••• Coun. Brent Cameron reported that the kick-off gala for the 2016-2017 season at Frontenac Arena went well. “The new compressor is in action and we should be in good shape in that respect for years, if not decades,” Cameron said. He also said the arena’s new logo was unveiled and will be on the ice for Frontenac Flyers and Frontenac Fury minor hockey games this season. •••

Central Frontenac to consider policing committee following staff sergeant’s report By Craig Bakay

News — The Sharbot Lake office of the Frontenac OPP detachment is down two officers but the positions will be filled when two new recruits finish their training in February, SSgt. Sharron Brown told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Piccadilly. “We had three promotions in one year,” she said. “The Sharbot Lake office needs nine officers and we’re currently at seven.” The Sharbot Lake office is administered from the Frontenac Detachment headquarters in Hartington. Previously, Sharbot Lake was part of the Lanark Detachment. Brown apologized for not bringing information to the Township on a more regular basis but said that the formation of a community policing advisory committee such as the one North Frontenac has would facilitate more communication. Dep. Mayor Bill MacDonald asked if there could be benefits to having a county-wide contract with the OPP. “In terms of policing costs, no,”

said Brown. Coun. Victor Heese asked if it would make sense to have a joint committee with North Frontenac as the Sharbot Lake detachment also covers North Frontenac. “The Police Services Act does allow for that,” Brown said. Coun. Tom Dewey wondered if having a committee would cut down on incidents where residents are concerned when training exercises take place. “When the military is doing exercises in the area, they contact us,” Dewey said. “Three weeks ago, a number of officers were on Cox Road doing exercises and we got a lot of calls from residents wondering if a criminal was loose or is something going on.” “Those were specialty teams training,” Brown said. “I’ll forward your concerns to the right person.” Coun. Jamie Riddell also brought up the former Hinchinbrooke School being used for exercises, which led to some controversy when it was learned the OPP was using the facility at no

The goal was to have 20,000 megawatts of renewable energy online by 2025 including having 10,700 megawatts of wind, solar and bioenergy online by 2021. Currently, there is about 9,500 megawatts online or has been announced. The FIT program allows for renewable energy projects greater than 10 kilowatts up to 500 kilowatts. There is also a microFIT program for projects of 10 kilowatts or less. Ap p l i c at i o n s are evaluated on a points basis, with a municipal council support resolution accounting for two points.

cost. He also suggested that the fire chief or deputy fire chief should be a member of any such committee. “I think not knowing what the OPP is doing can be a problem,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “I think better communication is worth thinking about.” Council instructed staff to put together a proposal for such a committee. In terms of crime stats, Brown said it is difficult to separate out Central Frontenac from North Frontenac and the Hwy. 7 corridor because of the way records are kept. But essentially, for the first six months of 2016, there was an increase in violent crime over 2015, but a drop in property crime and drug crime. She said the drop in property crime is likely because an increase Zach Teal plays a few tunes at the Cardinal Cafe Open Mike night in in property crime in 2015 over 2014 Sharbot Lake.

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Axing big power generation projects could be a very wise decision Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There was a lot of talk last week about hydro rates when the provincial government announced it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be issuing any more contracts for large-scale renewable energy projects. In many corners, that was welcome news, most notably to those faced with having to look at big, ugly wind turbines for the rest of their lives. There was also the predictable collective sigh from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;environmentalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; types who see this as the equivalent of an asteroid the size of Manhattan being spotted on a collision course with Earth. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no correct response of course, but it is nevertheless a good thing to keep the discussion going. Small-scale feed-in-tariff programs are still going on and there seems very little resistance to those. But we probably should all applaud the decision to put the brakes on big projects.

We should do this for many reasons not the least of which is that big projects get big money involved and the involvement of big money rarely is a good thing for us regular folks. Big money folks generally only care about their bottom lines and quality of life for the little guy be damned. Now before any tree-huggers get all bent out of shape, renewable electricity generation (solar in particular but wind, hydro and biomass projects also included) is probably one of the greatest ideas we human beings have ever come up with. It certainly beats burning hydrocarbons to keep our toasters running, given all the crap oil, coal, gas and any other fuel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come up with spews into the air and water. But putting the brakes of big operations also gives us time to reflect on just how we go about things and we certainly need to do that from time to time (like now). You see, the thing is, every now and then, new technology comes along that totally replaces old technology and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally a good thing. In this case, the new technology, ie solar panels, not only will allow

us to replace old tech, ie fossil fuel burning, but it should really allow us to replace another dinosaur thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely outlived its usefulness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the electric grid system. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the grid anymore. The technology exists for every home to generate its own electricity, be it solar, wind or biomass, with solar being the leading contender. Businesses too can generate their own. They made need a slightly larger system but wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a solar array next to a factory look a lot better than brown smoke coming out of a stack? For some reason we modern humans tend to think that we need big government or industry run power generation operations. Maybe we did at one time but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any more. The only things keeping this nonsense going is reluctance to drift from the status quo and the big G â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Greed. Energy generation corporations make a lot of money sending us the juice to turn our TVs on. Governments make money on it too, not to mention the phonybaloney jobs that would be in jeopardy if we all had solar panels on our roofs.

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, October 6, 2016

It may be hard to think about right now, especially given the amount of sun and Vitamin D all of us were exposed to this summer, but the darker months are coming. With those darker months comes an inevitable lack of this essential vitamin. A recently released report by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) in the United Kingdom is urging everyone to take vitamin D supplements, which according to the Vitamin D Society of Canada, should give Canadians a reason to start looking at their own vitamin D intake levels. According to a release from the Vitamin D Society of Canada, much like the UK, Canada shares the same sunshine limitations, which means because of the northern latitude of both countries, vitamin D producing sunlight can only be captured by our skin between the months of May and October. This leaves Canadians and Brits in the cold and with declining vitamin D levels in the fall and winter. The downside of low vitamin D levels means that bones can become thin and brittle; vitamin D plays an important role in regulating the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body making it essential for bone health and more.Â Statistics Canada reports that up to 12 million CanadiansÂ â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 35 per cent of us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; do not meetÂ vitamin D blood level requirements. That number rises to more than 40 per cent in the winter. The summer sun allows most Canadians and Brits to naturally generate adequate levels of vitamin D, but according to the Vitamin D Society, come winter, that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible. The northern latitude of both countries physically prevents vitamin D generating sunlight to reach us. The solution to keeping levels normal in the winter, however, is from vitamin D supplements or artificial UVB exposure. This seems like a logical solution, especially given the alternatives. If taking a supplement makes all of us happier and gives us stronger bones then why not? The Vitamin D Society encourages Canadians to use their time in the midday summer sun wisely to stock up on the sunshine vitamin but to remember to use common sense and not let skin burn. To learn more about vitamin D, please visit www.vitamindsociety.org.Â

Hip song lyrics considered for Your Local Business stone tribute in Market Square News – The City of Kingston is giving residents a choice of what they’d like to see inscribed on a commemorative stone in Market Square to pay tribute to The Tragically Hip’s memorable Aug. 20 hometown concert. The city has selected lyrics from two of the Hip’s most iconic songs to place on the stone. They are: “…everybody was in it from miles around…” from Blow at High Dough, or “We danced the sidewalk clean…” from New Orleans is Sinking. “The city has consulted the band for their support of both of these options and now we want to hear from you!” according to a news release. The two-question public survey – available through the city’s website or its customer ser-

vice phone line - closes at the end of October 12. Along with the chosen lyric will be the words: “The Tragically Hip, A National Celebration, August 20, 2016.” Councillors voted on a motion Sept. 20, exactly one month after the memorable event, to place a permanent marker in the square, where an estimated 25,000 people gathered to see a live-stream from Rogers K-Rock Centre of the band’s final concert in their Man Machine Poem tour. “It’s something to immortalize that whole experience and Kingston for being at the heart of it,” said Coun. Ryan Boehme. Councillors waived their own commemoration policy, which states that an event will only Continued on page 10

Letter writer seeks petition Continued from page 8

I am asking you to petition Ms. Kathleen Wynne and the Ministry of Education, to put a moratorium on school closures, not permanently, just until the time when a more reliable and accurate way is found to assess a school’s viability. Currently, the way that school boards compile their Long Term Accommodation Plan reports is seriously flawed. School Boards, all across Ontario, not just the Limestone Board, are providing outdated and incorrect information to the companies preparing the LTAP, and these companies are basing their recommendations on that incorrect information. Ameresco Asset Sustainability Group produced the 2016 Long Term Accommodation Plan for The Limestone District School Board. Information they used to make their recommendations was based on the 2011 census, the Facility Condition Index for all the schools, which was last done in 2012, and the Ministry of Education Guideline that if a school is under 67% utilized, it is classified as having surplus space. Not one of the five schools within the LTAP, the schools Ameresco has recommended for closure, fall into the category of being underutilized. As well, within the last two years, many of these schools have had major upgrades and repairs, information that was not taken into account while producing this LTAP. While doing research on previous LTAP’s I have found that the “guesses” for future enrolment and school utilizations, were very much incorrect. The last LTAP report I could find for the Limestone Board was from 2006. It was put together by Watson and Associates. They estimated that in 2015/16 the total enrolment for Greater Napanee schools would be 1,506 students, in actuality, the total el-

ementary enrolment in Greater Napanee in 2015/2016 was 2,090 students, 584 more students than they estimated. I have been emailing and writing letters to the Limestone Board, the Director of Education, and all our local media outlets, but, until the Limestone Board decides to conduct a Pupil Accommodation Review on Selby PS, Enterprise PS, Tamworth PS, Newburgh PS and Centerville PS, the Limestone Board will not act on our concerns. Our board will make the decision in the fall of 2017/18 to open a Pupil Accommodation Review on our schools, and unfortunately, if they do decide to proceed with a PAR, our schools will close. Nowhere in all my research have I found a school that has remained open after a PAR has been conducted. This is why I am writing to you today; Myself, along with other concerned parents and community members are urging you to appeal to the Ministry of Education, The Director of Education Mitzie Hunter and Ms. Kathleen Wynne. The Limestone District School Board is just one of the Ontario School Boards following directives from the Ministry of Education. There are serious issues with how school boards all across Ontario are conducting their LTAP, and our children are paying the price for this. I would be happy to share more information I have researched with you, either in person, by telephone or email. I look forward to your action in this matter. Sincerely, Norah Brien R0012783232

Event combines services, programs aimed at overall wellness tstafford@metroland.com

Events – The concept of overall wellness includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual elements, addressing and balancing all aspects of a person’s being. That’s why the Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness aims to bring programs, clinics and services that address all aspects of overall wellness together in one place for one day. “Last year, one of our partners in Kingston wanted the Southern Ontario Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative (SOADI) foot care clinic to come to the region,” said Autumn Watson, a family wellness worker with SOADI and a lead organizer of Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness. “We realized foot care was only one portion, and we wanted the whole overall indigenous wellness… So we decided to partner with all of the other indigenous organizations here in Kingston to make it bigger and fuller.” What resulted was last year’s inaugural Day of Wellness, which brought together organizations like the Metis Nation of Ontario, Tipi Moza (an affordable housing and service group for Aboriginal peoples), HIV/Aids Regional Services, the South East Regional Cancer Program, and the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre of Queen’s University, just to name a few. With Kingston Community Health Centre (KCHC) acting as the host partner,

programs and services on site ranged from cancer screening and a flu shot clinic to reflexology and aromatherapy, all aimed at benefitting those in attendance in achieving overall wellness. More partners This year promises to offer even more, as the Day of Wellness has brought more partners on board, Watson explained. “More partners came on this year, so we’re expanding. We have a vision partner, Street Health and a number of other new partners… it’s kind of like a one stop shop,” she said, noting that Street Health will be offering HIV and Hepatitis C testing at this year’s event. “And we’re going to bring in someone with traditional medicine and seer to address the spiritual side of things.” Along with all of the health services, holistic information and spiritual guidance, the Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness also offers an element of fun and entertainment, with drum circles, guest speakers, door prizes and a traditional indigenous feast. Watson urged people to bring their own ‘feast bundle,’ including a cup, bowl, plate and utensils – something her organization, SOADI, puts a strong emphasis on through their ‘Walk the Talk’ program. “The feast bundles promote being environmentally friendly, but also cutting down on the waste created at the event,” Watson said. “As well, we had noticed that sometimes

at these events, the food available wasn’t always healthy. So we developed a nutrition policy and it grew into a whole program we call Walk the Talk,” continued Amanda Lipinski, the program director for SOADI, noting that the program typically means having healthy food options, access to physical activity, and smoking cessation programs for staff and community members. “We asked other indigenous organizations working within the health sector to sign on to ‘Walk the Talk.’ So it’s a positive step in the right direction, just getting people on board to ‘Walk the Talk,’ especially in frontline work and promoting wellness and trying to help others – we can’t help others if we’re not well ourselves.” The second annual Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness will take place on Friday, Oct. 14 from 1 to 7 p.m. at Kingston Community Health Centre. Everyone is welcome, and the event is entirely free of charge. “We all have to work together to establish this goal of wellness,” said Watson. “It is really nice because it is an opportunity for all of us to partner and advocate all of the different programs and services within the Kingston area that the indigenous community can access.” To find out more about the event and those partners that will be on site, visit the Day of Wellness Facebook page at www. facebook.com/community.wellness.starts. with.you/.

be considered for commemoration at least 10 years after its conclusion. Councillors decided to make an exception in recognition of the band’s artistic and philanthropic contributions, and following news that lead singer Gord Downie has terminal brain cancer. “It’s The Tragically Hip,” remarked Coun. Jim Neill, when asked why the policy exception was made. Many believe the band’s Aug. 20 televised performance may be its last. The performance attracted a national audience of 11.7 million people. In addition to an engraved stone - an idea that was initially inspired through social media and then formalized in a motion by the mayor - a page will be added in the Kingston Remembers history flipbook within Market Square. The overall cost of the tribute isn’t known, but Mayor Bryan Paterson doesn’t think it’ll be more than a few thousand dollars. The city had already invested $150,000 for the concert night big screen in Market Square. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime historical moment for everybody. People came to Kingston for this event and acknowledging that now is important.” It may not be the only tribute to the band’s memorable show. R0013602431

Youth Diversion to launch pilot project in life skills for at-risk youth ing, and basic banking is only one element the pilot project will tackle. Teaming up with other community partners, Youth Diversion will offer the students in the SNAP Life Skills

By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – An investment from the RBC Foundation has allowed a local non-profit organization to develop a new pilot project supporting at-risk youth in Kingston and the area. RBC Foundation donated $11,000 to Youth Diversion, resulting in the organization’s School and NonAcademic Program (SNAP) Life Skills pilot project, which will support youth aged 15 to 18 no longer attending school. “These are young people who have, for various reasons, because of things getting in the way or perhaps them having some challenges in a regular school setting, are on longterm suspensions or have been expelled,” said Shawn Quigley, executive director of Youth Diversion. “This pilot project aims to deal with the main things, from our perspective, that get in the way of a young person being successful.” The SNAP Life Skills pilot project will address some of the necessities of living successfully, such as financial literacy, food security, employment readiness, team building and community engagement. Along with RBC Foundation’s financial donation, the organization will also be providing some of its employees to

A number of the volunteers who administer the seven programs available through Youth Diversion participate in a professional development workshop earlier this year. Some of these volunteers, along with a number of volunteer mentors, will help to deliver Youth Diversion’s SNAP Life Skills Pilot Project. The pilot brings together a number of community organizations to address some the barriers at-risk youth face, such as job preparedness, food security, financial literacy and team building. The pilot project is scheduled to launch at the beginning of November. Submitted work with the program’s students in the area of financial literacy. “I don’t know if you’ve ever been in the RBC downtown, it’s a very big, beautiful bank, and that can be very intimidating for a 16-year-old kid to go in and maybe open up a bank ac-

specialize in the other areas the project aims to educate in. “We knew we could administer the program, but we thought ‘let’s reach out to RBC and Loving Spoonful and ReStart and Traditional Excellence, and ask these folks to bring their expertise to the table, to provide these kids with those added tools to help them be more successful,” Quigley said. Loving Spoonful, a community group that facilitates access to fresh, healthy foods, will work with the students in the area of food security, Quigley explained. The students will work with those from Loving Spoonful to learn about identifying, purchasing and preparing nutritious and satisfying meals. ReStart Employment Services will work with the students in addressing job readiness, from preparing resumes and learning to deal with the anxieties of job interviews, to helping them find appropriate clothing for the workplace. In terms of team- and confidence-building, Traditional Excellence will work with students on leadership skills and engaging in performance, addressing how to build healthy relationships and the ability to recognize it is OK to be vulnerable. A unique aspect of the program will see the students given a budget, which they will use to purchase food items and clothing for work under the guidance of a mentor. The pilot project will run with about 15 students over six weeks beginning in early

While many of the students will be referred to the program through Youth Diversion itself, the organization is open to referrals through the public, Quigley said, and is also looking for volunteer mentors. Without the aid of volunteers and community partners – especially the RBC Foundation – running the pilot project simply couldn’t happen, Quigley expressed. “It was amazing to see that altruistic approach that other

Dia de los Muertos celebrates life and death Last year’s Dia de los Muertos event at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning was such a huge success, that it’s coming back this year bigger and better. Traditional Hispanic culture celebrates Dia de los Muertos—the day of the dead—on November 1. In Kingston, it’s celebrated on the first Sunday of November. That’s November 6 this year. It’s a celebration of life and death, a familyfriendly event where families and friends can honour those who have passed on. “My roots are Mexican,” said Yessica Rivera Belsham, an artist, drummer and nursing student, who founded Quetzalcoatl Kingston. She’s also the artistic director of Kingston’s Dia de los Muertos. “Growing up, Dia de los Muertos is something I’ve witnessed in my immediate family and something they do in Mexico on November 1 and 2.” The Dia de los Muertos festival originated in Mexico in Pre-Hispanic times. With its roots in the ancient Aztec world, the festival spread throughout Latin cultures, and you’ll find celebrations in North and South America, as well as in some European countries. “Dia de los Muertos is about honouring our loved ones who have passed, and expressing ourselves through art, and celebrating with wonderful food and music,” said Rivera Belsham. You’ll find all of these things at the Tett Centre, where there will be activities, crafts, live music and authentic Mexican food. The problem with last year’s overwhelming success was the number of people. No one expected so many people would attend, least of all

Yessica Rivera Belsham. So for this year’s festival most of the Tett Centre will be used. “Word of mouth travelled so fast last year,” said Rivera Belsham. “We easily had 700 people attending. So this year, we are using a bigger space overall. We’ll be using more rooms in the Tett Centre and we’ll be on different levels.” Dia de los Muertos activities will be found in the Tett’s Malting Tower as well as in the Kingston School of Dance on the third floor. The Re-

hearsal Hall and the Creativity Studios on the second floor will be in full swing. Rivera Belsham said that on the first floor, the Tett’s Activity Room will probably be used.

“Despite the limited space last year, it was a beautiful event,” said Rivera Belsham. Continued on page 15

Festival is about community coming together “It was truly representative of diversity. The only problem was that it was jam packed and too busy. So this year we’ll have a lot more space.” The festival is about a community coming together. “A common thing is the altar,” said Rivera Belsham. “You’ll find them everywhere in Hispanic cultures. It’s about honouring people who have passed from this life. You’ll have people put flowers and photos of people and reminders of things they liked to do. There’s lots of music and then, at certain times, silence.” In the common area of sacred space, the altar, Tett Centre visitors can place mementos to honour a loved one who has passed away. The altar area will be hosted in the second floor Rehearsal Hall of the Tett Centre. Rivera Belsham, who specializes in hospice and end-of-life nursing care, said that in our culture we shy away from the concept of death. After a person dies, we are expected to get over the death quickly. But grieving takes a long time, and, without allowing ourselves to fully experience the loss, we have difficulty living a full life. Dia de los Muertos is about accepting the loss and honoring those who have gone before us. “The festival relates to everyone,”

said Rivera Belsham. “It really is a celebration of life with music, dance, food and decorations. This is an opportunity for young and old to come together to bring lightness to the shared reality of mortality, honouring those we’ve lost, recognizing their contribution to our lives, and celebrating the lives we continue to live today.” Rivera Belsham said that this year she has partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association. “They are very supportive,” she said. “For me, that is very meaningful. Dia de los Muertos is very much about honouring people who have died and our ancestors and family and friends who have gone on from this life. We are celebrating life. Being aware of the subject of death can be touchy for many people as it can trigger many feelings.” She explained that she hopes to bring an awareness of community services. She serves in a mental health nursing interest group. Rivera Belsham wants anyone in the community to feel welcome to attend Dia de los Muertos. “A person of any religion and faith can attend. It’s completely open. Death and life affects all of us. The tradition itself is tied closely to indigenous Mexican roots. To me, the focus of the event is on the arts and culture.” She said there will be activities similar to last year for all members of the

family. “There will be lots of arts activities for children,” she said. “Kids will love the piñata. We also plan on having workshops leading up to the festival, so people can get familiar with different parts of the event. People can make altars before the festival and bring them and have them displayed at the event.” There will be more than a dozen poets taking part. “The poets will be where most of the altars are going to be, in a more somber area in the Tett Rehearsal Hall.” The music this year will again include a Mariachi band, indigenous singing, John Torres and an integrated group including the Kingston Drum Circle and some Mexican singers. You’ll have an opportunity to witness and take photos of dancers from the Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project. Around 6 p.m., ballerinas will enter the various rooms in procession in full ballet gear, including tutus. To honor those who have gone before, dancers will be carrying photos of ballerinas and male ballet dancers who have passed from this life. They will place the images in the sacred space that is created for the event. The day will end with the community drum circle and community singing. If you would like to volunteer at the event, contact Yessica Rivera Belsham at diadelosmuertoskignston@gmail.com. For more information about Kings-

Company co-founder set to enter new arena Continued from page 16

And aggregates thousands of rates from hundreds of financial providers. The company aims to make comparing and understanding financial products as quick and simple as possible, helping Canadians save money while securing quality and beneficial products. But on Thursday, Oct. 5, the company will enter an entirely new arena, as Furtado, CEO and co-founder, will take the stage of Dragon’s Den on the show’s season premiere. RateHub will seek a $1 million investment for 10 per cent of the company, representing a $10 million valuation, Furtado explained. “We’ll do between $8-10 million in revenue this year, and our big question is how do we get to $100 million in the next five years,” Furtado said. “We know we need to invest to continue our momentum and our acceleration, and we thought that pitching to the Dragons was a great opportunity to see if there’s appetite for investment.” Along with Furtado, two members of the company’s founding team are also from Kingston and the area: Chris Richard, chief technology officer, and Kerri-Lynn McAllister, chief marketing officer. RateHub is hoping to expand their services to include insur-

ance rates and chequing accounts, something an investment from one of the four Dragons could help to expedite. Furtado said the prospect of meeting with the Dragons and demonstrating RateHub’s website for the business moguls and views at home is nothing short of “nerve wracking,” but certainly an exciting opportunity. “As everybody sees in the

episodes, you have to walk across the top and then down the stairs to the stage, and you’re walking out to a very intimidating judging panel,” Furtado expressed with a laugh. “And any time you’re pitching your business or talking about your business to anyone, you are a little bit vulnerable, right? You’re inviting them to

give you all of their thoughts on why your business would make a good investment, and why it is or isn’t a good idea.” Furtado explained that RateHub is already expanding in terms of software engineering, and is currently hiring at their Kingston location inside the Innovate Kingston site at The Boathouse in the city’s downtown core. “We’re still looking for more software developers,” she said. “I think it’s really exciting to be an exciting and growing employer in Kingston.” But with such a track record for success and the acclaim of countless Canadians, why does the RateHub team feel that now is the time to pitch to the Dragons? “It’s interesting… A lot of people say [of] building your business that getting to your first million dollars in revenue is the hardest, and then you can see a lot of growth after that, which has absolutely been the case for us. And so we want to make sure that we keep that momentum going,” Furtado expressed. “Now we feel like we’ve climbed up what we thought was a mountain, but we’re staring at an even bigger challenge, and so making sure that we have the capitol to take us through that is key.” The season premiere of CBC’s Dragon’s Den airs on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m.

Artistic horse sense

By Mark Bergin

Kristie Kendall had horse sense as far back as Kindergarten. That’s when she started painting. “I remember being in Kindergarten and finger painting with yellow paint,” she said. “Remember that big glossy paper? I figured out that if you put together ovals and rectangles, you could draw a horse.” And she did draw a horse. She never stopped. Today, the artist creates beautiful horse portraits. I first saw her work several years ago at a photography exhibit featuring horses. Kendall was invited to exhibit some of her horse paintings during the show. Although untrained in fine art, Kendall did graduate from the graphic design program at St. Lawrence College in 1999. “I never studied art,” she said. “I took one art class in high school, and I took Introduction to Fine Art with David Perkins, a drawing teacher at St. Lawrence College.” Why paint horses? “I’ve been obsessed with horses my whole life,” she said. “I got my first pony when I was ten.”

The only time she hasn’t had a horse was Has it ever happened that someone wasn’t when she was in college and when she first be- thrilled with a painting? came a mother. “No, they always like it,” she said. “But Kendall loves rural life. She and her hus- like many artists, I guess, I look at the work band, along with their three children, live on of great horse artists and compare myself and a farm north of Kingston.

ory.” One of her first commissions many years ago was for a man who brought a small and blurry photograph of his wife’s horse that had died. “He asked if I could paint something from that picture,” said Kendall. “When I finished and he gave the painting to his wife, she cried. I love letting people have that feeling that they still have a little piece of their past. I really enjoy painting horses, and if I can paint someone else’s horse for them and then they have something to look at to feel like they did when they looked at the horse when it was alive, that makes me happy.” Kendall’s current work is in acrylics. “Acrylics are very forgiving,” she said. “Because of my lifestyle, I can leave and come back to it. They dry quickly. Sometimes I want to work for eight or nine hours straight, but my day is so fragmented. When I was younger I had lots of time, but now I have little bits of time. But I wouldn’t trade my life for anything. I love having a family. I love my kids. The days when I have lots of time will come back soon enough and I can wait for that.

Evening frights return to Fort Henry By Rob Mooy

Be afraid, be very afraid. Fort Fright, the award winning scare event at Fort Henry National Historic Site has opened its doors for another run at Kingston’s historic fort. This year, community members should prepare to be haunted with dark hallways and tunnels, with ghosts,

ghouls and zombies lurking around the corners. New animatronics, special effects, and professional set design paired with the fortress of Fort Henry as the backdrop, sets the stage for this spine-tingling experience. Fort Fright will bring three exciting haunted attractions to life this season: The Doomed Regiment, the Cursed Hallows

and Happy’s Funhouse. For those who want the complete experience, the Total Scare package is the spookiest option including general admission, a coffin ride, and a Terrifying Tale from the Tunnels led by the Haunted Walk of Kingston. Continued on page 20

want the time with my kids.” She said that in the future she’d like to work in oils. “That’s just a whole other thing. They are so rich in color, but harder to work with, and they don’t fit my style of working in small chunks of time.” Whether it’s lengthy periods of creativity or small chunks and bursts of the creative, Kendall said she likes to get into the zone where art takes her. “I really feel like I’m sculpting the horse on canvas,” she said. “I like to feel like I’m in sync with the animal. Sometimes I feel like I channel the animal. There’s nothing I love more than watching my animals. I love observing them. Painting is an extension of that observation. I feel like I’m soaking them in and then bringing it back out onto canvas.” She does paint other animals like dogs, but most of her work is with horses. As I left her homey and welcoming farm house, two dogs romped around me. The chickens ran loose, and there were cows in the nearby field. The cats were nowhere to be seen. Kendall Kendall is right at home. Her art reflects her passion for farm life. To her there’s no greater sense than horse sense. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

Remake of classic western a pure tale of good versus evil MOVIE: The Magnificent Seven STARRING: Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Haley Bennett, Ethan Hawke, Byung-hun Lee, Vincent D’Onofrio, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier and Peter Sarsgaard DIRECTOR: Antoine Fuqua RATING: 14A As western fantasies go The Magnificent Seven stands as one of the greatest films ever. A story of good versus evil set in the violence of the old west. It’s a simpler time. If someone got in your way you shot them. Simple. Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard) is a robber baron intent on taking the land of the good folks of Rose Creek so he can mine for gold. He’s offered to buy their land for considerably less than it’s worth, and threatens anyone who refuses. To emphasize his point he and his men burn down the church, and kill those who dare to stand in their way. After her husband is murdered by Bogue, Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett) goes to find help. She finds Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington) a bounty hunter and lawman. At first Chisolm isn’t interested, but when he hears the name Bogue he changes his mind. Chisolm can’t do it alone so he recruits some hard men. The first is the gambler Josh Faraday (Chris Pratt). Next is Confederate sniper Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke) and his partner Billy Rocks (Byung-hun Lee). The outlaw Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) joins their band, as does the legendary Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio). Last is the Comanche warrior Red Harvest

My Take

is the hermit, Garcia-Rulfo plays the outlaw, while Sensmeier is the noble warrior. They are tremendous. Haley Bennett portrays Emma as anything but weak. She’s fiercely strong and prepared to fight. Just as prepared to fight is Bogue. To be a western villain is to be as black as night, and

MARK HASKINS

(Martin Sensmeiser). They never make it clear why they decide to do it. Regardless, despite overwhelming odds, these seven men choose to stand against Bogue’s army of mercenaries. Seven warriors against a tide of evil. This is not a movie that worries about getting into the emotional motivation of its characters. This is a movie about hard men doing a hard job. This is a fight between good and evil with six shooters and rifles as the weapons of choice. It is violent and brutal, but it is also heroic. There’s something very compelling when the lines between right and wrong are so clearly defined. When the shooting starts the starkness of the brutality is breathtaking. Everything happens at blinding speed yet nothing is missed. Each shot, each death, and each sacrifice is there in vivid detail. The western hero is often a solitary figure with a layer of something sad, and something dark. Each actor gives his take on that hero. Washington is the determined lawman. Pratt plays the joker. Hawke is battle scarred, and Lee is the loyal friend. D’Onofrio

Peter Sarsgaard is as dark as they come. The Magnificent Seven has the purity, simplicity and even elegance of the classic western. It’s violent and brutal, but at its heart it’s about good versus evil. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

The lawsuit says the Province of Ontario failed to properly care for and protect people who attended or resided at the Schools. The lawsuit says that students were emotionally, physically, and psychologically traumatized by their experiences at the Schools. The Province of Ontario denies these claims. The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiff or the Province of Ontario is right. Are you included? You are included in this lawsuit if: r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU %SVSZ BU BOZ UJNF CFUXFFO and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU 4JS +BNFT 8IJUOFZ BU BOZ UJNF between 1938 and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU 3PCBSUT BU BOZ UJNF CFUXFFO and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BSF UIF QBSFOUT TQPVTFT DIJMESFO PS TJCMJOHT PG TPNFPOF and who is included in the lawsuit and who attended or was in residence at one of the Schools between 1978 and August 23, 2016 r ZPV BSF BO FTUBUF USVTUFF GPS B QFSTPO XIP XBT B TUVEFOU PS family member of a student who is included in the lawsuit and that person was living on or after August 10, 2013 Who are the lawyers who represent the class? Koskie Minsky LLP are the lawyers for the plaintiff and the class. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay Koskie Minsky LLP for this case.

Instead, the lawyers will be paid only if there is recovery of money or other benefits for the Class. If there is success, the lawyers would either receive a portion of recovery or be paid by the Province of Ontario. What are your options? Stay In the Class Action: You do not have to do anything to stay in the class action. You will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you will not be able to sue independently the Province of Ontario about the legal claims in this case. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to ask for a share. Staying in this Class will not impact the residence or services and supports received by class members from community based agencies which are funded by the Province of Ontario. Get Out of the Class Action: If you want to keep your independent right to sue the Province of Ontario over the claims in this case or if you do not wish to be bound by the orders and judgments of this case, you need to opt out or remove yourself. If you remove yourself, you cannot get any money or benefits from this lawsuit. To ask to be removed, send a letter to School Abuse Class Action Administrator, c/o Crawford & Company Inc., 3-505 133 Weber St. N., Waterloo ON N2J 3G9 or go to www.Schoolsforthedeafclassaction.ca.

Ford Motor Company brings Driving Skills for Life program to region Ford landed in a big way on a cool overcast Friday recently at the parking lot of the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata to bring their Driving Skills for Life program to the nation’s capital. Now in its 13th year (third anniversary for Canada) this initiative sees a full team of professional drivers and trailer loads of new Ford vehicles along with the latest tech gear collected for the single purpose of helping young drivers survive and succeed on our roads. I had the pleasure of attending the morning session where about 50 young

drivers (averaging only one year of experience each) braved some cool temps and a little rain to hone their wheeled skills. A dozen professional drivers (with experience ranging from instruction to kart racing to formula track) were joined by several members of the Ottawa Police Service who promised they left their citation pads in the cruisers. As well a full team of Ford Motor Company employees were on hand to explain the workings of their safety and vehicle performance technologies. After a short introduction session, the young drivers were divided into teams and sent out to the various stations Ford had set up on the parking lot for about four hours of behind-the-wheel and classroom instruction. Five different stations were set up to cover such things as hazard recognition/reaction, impaired driv-

At the distracted driving event, drivers were placed in front of simulators designed to measure their reaction time in bringing a vehicle to a stop from 80 km/hr both while undistracted and while trying to receive and send texts to their fellow students.

Listening to Audrey was like watching a movie at the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien theatre in Renfrew. Â I was sure Mother would lace into her for quitting a job. Â Mother hated quitters. Â But she just listened, and made the occasional clucking sound and nodded as Audrey described the hut Old Herman lived in. Â Finally, even though the day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t half over, and being a Saturday and all, which meant it was bath night, Audrey asked Mother if she would mind if she had her bath then and there. Â Mother fi lled the old oval tub with water from the reservoir, Audrey stripped right there in the kitchen, threw her clothes out into the woodshed, and sunk into the warm water. Â If Audrey had stayed the full day and came home with a whole dollar, it was understood that it would be handed over to Mother. Â As Audrey scrubbed herself raw with the face cloth and soap, Mother patted the quarter on the kitchen table, and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can keep the quarter. Â Goodness knows youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned it.â&#x20AC;?Â Interested in an electronic version of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books?
