County to keep economic development manager post BY CRAIG BAKAY

News — Frontenac County Council decided to keep the economic development manager position at a special council meeting called to discuss the subject. With the impending retirement of incumbent Anne Marie Young at the end of this year, Coun. Ron Higgins served notice of motion at last month’s regular meeting in Sharbot Lake that he wanted to examine the need for the position before setting the 2017 budget. The manager of economic development is on a salary grid of $78,500 to $92,000 per year. Also, there is a three-year contract position funded from reserves, $56,000 to $65,000. The position had been advertised and shortlisted but no interviews scheduled as yet. In a report to Council, CAO Kelly Pender said the economic development officer has been responsible for securing $2.6 million in government grants over an eight-year period (18 grants from 20 applications) as well as being There was a good crowd at the Caboose in Sharbot Lake on the weekend for the first ever Terror on the Trail responsible for the development run/walk organized by Lynette Whan and Melissa Brooks in cooperation with the Railway Heritage Society. of the K & P Trail which currently extends to Tichborne.

reports. Director of planning and economic development Joe Gallivan, to whom the economic development manger reports, produced numbers comparing neighbouring municipalities, several of whom spend considerably more than Frontenac County on economic development related pursuits. “We’re still playing catch-up,” Gallivan said. “Our neighbours . . . competitors, have been at it for more than 10 years.” Pender said economic development isn’t something the County is mandated to do, it’s a discretionary option. He produced four options for Council to consider: • “you can get out of the business” ie. leaving all or a portion of economic development to member municipalities, • an in-house model using internal staff and resources based upon a plan approved by Council (the current model being used by Frontenac County), • creation of a wholly owned separate municipal corporation (such as KEDCO in Kingston),

Yes Virginia, there are communication gaps in South Frontenac News — Coun. Ron Sleeth questioned the findings of Frontenac In-Field Communications Gap Study and Option Analysis produced by Sonoptic recently at South Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham but seemed to be alone on his perception that the ‘gaps’ in communication were primarily in the north. The report was presented at a special meeting of all township councils held in Sharbot Lake last month. “At that meeting, it was indicated that cell phones don’t really work and don’t have much use,” Sleeth said. “But there wasn’t anybody in that room who didn’t have one in their back pocket.

• contracting out — using an external corporate entity on a fee for service basis to perform all or a portion of the service Pender’s recommendation was the status quo. Higgins seemed to change his mind, supporting the status quo but “I’d like to see some measures of success. “It would be more effective keeping it inhouse. In North Frontenac we’ve been spinning our heals on economic development.”

As to measures of success, Pender said “I don’t think we’ll ever come back to you saying we’ve created 200 jobs. “Most of the economic development that comes to us are spur of the moment things and small businesses.” Pender did say that they are working on a study to compare assessment along the K & P from 2008, 2012, and 2016, and that the study should be completed some time in January. In the end, only Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal opposed keeping the economic development positions intact.

Lennox & Addington, was more blunt about it. “Cell phones do not work for emergency services,” he said. “We need radios.” The Gap Study actually agreed that cell phones, as they exist today, weren’t an immediate solution. However, they did suggest that emerging technologies and networks probably will play a significant role in future communications. “While Frontenac first responders are providing good service, they often find themselves having to compensate for communications inadequacies that may contribute to increased risk,” the report said. “While some inadequacies related to protocols, TICO#50007364

“Maybe there’s a gap in the north but . . .” That prompted Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland to respond. “I’d like to invite Coun. Sleeth to come up to my place with his phone,” Sutherland said. “There are three places on our road where (cell phone coverage) cuts in and out.” CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr agreed that the problem was not merely restricted to the north. “There are many areas in South Frontenac where there are gaps (in cell phone coverage),” Orr said. “I think it was more that cell phones as we think of them aren’t much use for emergency services. “The technology could be adapted and applied better however.” Coun.

policies and procedures and training as well as issues with Kingston Dispatch should be relatively easy and inexpensive to resolve, other issues related to communications infrastructure to improve signal coverage and communication equipment will be more challenging and expensive to address. “Several communications system options (ie. migrate to a Simulcast analog system as an interim solution, migrate to a P25 digital system or wait for LTE technology to evolve), estimated relative magnitude of costs and potential opportunities for partnerships and funding are presented for consideration.

Park Model trailers likely to be prohibited from commercial resorts in South Frontenac BY CRAIG BAKAY

News — Larger trailers appearing in South Frontenac commercial resorts prompted Coun. Alan Revill to serve notice of motion

at South Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. “I see it as a change occurring throughout a number of our seasonal sites which I think is contrary to the original use of such sites,”

Revill said. “These larger ‘park models’ have septic and water implications.” “Some of these are like a mobile cottage,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. Revill’s motion reads in part: “Whereas some Recreation Resort Commercial (RRC) owners are allowing/encouraging many different types of ‘trailers’ to be located at their campground sties including Park Model units and whereas it appears the intent of the zone provisions considered trailers as either transient or seasonal meaning roughly from the 24th day of May to Thanksgiving and whereas Park Model units allow extended seasonal, more permanent use combing with a larger physical presence crowding sites, therefore be it resolved that we request a report from our planning department that confirms what amendments would be required to our zoning bylaw to prohibit Park Model units from RCC lands as an option.” ••• The Sydenham Walking Tour Map should be appearing on the South Frontenac and Frontenac County websites soon, assuming County Council goes for the idea. South Frontenac Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland floated the proposal at Council last week. “I think it’s a wonderful map,” Sutherland said. “But if we don’t digitize it soon, all the copies of it will be gone.”

Sutherland suggested the County’s IT department should have the capability to digitize the map and even provided a suggestion for incentive for the County to want to do it. “If you’re going to ask the County to digitize it, then we should also ask them to add it to their website,” he said. “Give them a reason to say ‘oh, that makes sense.’” ••• Council pegged $5,000 from the capital budget for design and engineering for a new, accessible entrance for Glendower Hall on Westport Road in Bedford District. ••• Council approved the addition of two municipal bylaw enforcement officers as fence viewers, said responsibilities to be completely separate from their bylaw enforcement duties. CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said it had to be separate because fence viewing is not in the contract for bylaw enforcement. Council also increased the fee paid to fence viewers to $200 from $75. “I disagree with the remuneration,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “I don’t know how we picked going from $75 to $200.” “There’s no additional fee for mileage,” said Coun. Alan Revill. “And $75 could be chewed up pretty quick going fro one end of the Township to the other.”

South Frontenac settles some prices from planning decisions BY CRAIG BAKAY

News — A decision to sell Township rights-of-way to abutting landowners at a reduced cost didn’t sit well with Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland at South Frontenac Council’s regular meeting last week in Sydenham. Sutherland announced he’d be filing a notice of motion “to look at how we set prices.” The discussion arose from Council’s decision to stop up and sell two portions of a Township-owned surveyed rights-of-way to abutting land owners. “At a previous meeting of Committee of the Whole, it was agreed to sell Part 1 at a reduced rate of $1.03 per square foot bringing the sale price for Part 1 to $8,428,” said Planner Lindsay Mills in a report presented by CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. “Following from this decision on the reduced rate for Part 1, Ron Campbell, (who originally proposed the closure and sale) has requested that the same reduced rate should apply to the portion abutting his lot, ie, Part 2. “At the Committee of the Whole meeting Oct. 25, the Committee agreed to this request and thus reduced the cost of the sale of Part 2 to $14,140 from $24,000.” “Just for the record, I think it’s important for Council to be consistent with our bylaw,” Sutherland said. “Especially when selling Township land. “Fairly, equally, I think that’s the point.” However, not all of Council saw a problem with the sale. “I think we’re treating people fairly,” said Coun. Ron Sleeth. “I think what the Township is getting is enough for what essentially is a worthless piece of land.” On a somewhat related pricing issue,

Council agreed to an amount of $3,364 for the required parkland cash-in-lie for Phase 1 of the Willowbrook Subdivision in the hamlet of Inverary. One of the requirements in the subdivision agreement is for five per cent of the land included in the plan be for park purposes. Alternatively, the municipality my require cashin-lieu for all or a portion of the conveyance. On Sept. 27, Committee of the Whole considered a planning report which included market evaluations from two real estate firms and based on these evaluations, the Committee agreed to the figure of $3,364 as the appropriate parkland cash-in-lieu amount. Presenting the report, Orr said this “formalized Council discussions” and provided a second quote when Council had not been satisfied with a single quote. The vote was seven to one for the motion, with Mayor Ron Vandewal opposed.

Central Club hikers complete the Frontenac Challenge! MARY ROBINSON

Congratulations to the Rideau Trail Association (RTA) Central Club hikers for completing the Frontenac Challenge, which involved hiking 11 specified loops within Frontenac Park during September and October, for a total distance of approximately 135 kilometres. Hikes ranged from 13 km to 27 km, including access trails in and out. One member opted to complete the Frontenac Trek, which involved hiking six loops, excluding the two shortest trails. Not all hikers who

joined the Central club outings were going for the Challenge or Trek, as shown in the photo when there were 17 hikers enjoying the Cedar Lake Loop of Frontenac Park. A special thanks goes to David Batchelor for organizing and leading some hikes, and to Nancy Gaudreau who did the lion's share of leading, even doing extra hikes to make sure we all achieved our goal successfully. While there were many reasons we took the Challenge: improving our fitness level; enjoying the magnificent fall colours and the wilder-

ness wonders of Frontenac Park, enjoying the camaraderie of hiking with friends; testing our stamina and perseverance on the more arduous hikes; or simply receiving a badge and certificate at the end of it all, I am sure we are all glad we did it. We all have our favourite memories and some of us are now hooked and will be back taking the Challenge next year! The RTA Central Club will continue to hike or snowshoe throughout the winter on the Rideau Trail and other locations. Our hikes are planned for various ability levels. If you are interested in hiking with the group, you are welcome to join us. Weekend activities usually take up to six hours (including travel time) while mid-week hikes are shorter and less demanding. If

failed to avoid a conflict of interest and was in breach of the Code of Conduct. His actions ahead of time by seeking advice and following that advice, reveal that he was acting in good faith and his breach of the Code of Conduct was inadvertent. Mayor Paterson also responded to the decision by the integrity commissioner on Nov. 1. “As mayor, the conduct and integrity of our city council is of upmost importance to me. Our community needs to have confidence in the decisions we make,” he said in a statement. “Given the findings of the integrity commissioner, I am immediately bringing forward a notice of motion to tonight’s meeting to allow council to reconsider the Capitol project at our

November 15 council meeting. A reconsideration will allow a re-vote without the participation of Councillor Candon. I believe this is the appropriate and necessary action to correct this situation.” This decision will inevitably impact the Capitol condominium project, but Candon hopes that the project will still go through. “I think the project is still going to go through and I think that the people who are suffering most here are the Kingston taxpayers,” he said. “Because now if it loses on a tie it is going to go to the Ontario Municipal Board and we do not have a staff report that suggests that we should not be building this project.” Candon added that he voted with staff on

News – According to an integrity commissioner hired by the City of Kingston, Councillor Adam Candon has been found in breach of the Council Code of Conduct for taking part in the vote on the proposed Capitol condominium project. Council approved the project with a narrow 7-6 vote on Sept. 20, but the vote was followed by a motion from both Candon and Mayor Paterson on Oct. 4 to hire an integrity commissioner to look into Candon’s involvement. Integrity Commissioner Janet Leiper, investigated the issue and in her report to City Council, filed on Oct. 31, stated: “It is the opinion of the integrity commissioner that Councillor Candon inadvertently breached section 2.4(c) of the Code of Conduct in the matter of the Capitol condominium project.” Candon responded to the decision on Nov. 1, and told the Heritage that regardless of what the integrity commissioner decided he was going to support it, but he was surprised by the decision. “I was flabbergasted. I almost fell out of my chair,” he said. “There is nothing else I could have possibly done. I sought independent legal advice to determine whether or not I should have voted and I was told that I did not have a conflict. I personally, myself, did not feel like I had a conflict because I do not stand to make any financial gain of any kind and I am not representing the developer and I have no relationship with the developer. I did not think that it would be concluded that I have a conflict of interest.” In the report, Leiper explains that much of the conflict came from the Kingston Condo Kings website that Candon was associated with. “In summary, by participating in the public promotion of the Princess Street development, through the online website developed by his partner, Councillor Candon was in a conflict as between his private interests and his public duty when it came time to vote,” says the report. “Removing the website one week prior to the vote did not extinguish the conflict, it merely removed the evidence of the conflict. In voting on the project, Councillor Candon

the project and with a legal opinion stating that he should be voting. “Now that is up in the air and I think that the only people who are going to be hurt by this are the Kingston taxpayers.” Both Candon and Paterson also took the decision as an opportunity to highlight the shortcomings that exist within council “I hope this experience motivates Council to implement a more robust infrastructure to determine who should be voting and for what reasons,” said Candon in a formal statement issues on Nov. 1. “Following City protocol and ending up in this situation would clearly indicate that something is missing. Moving forward, I will be recommending a full time integrity commissioner as I would not want any of my fellow councillors to have a similar experience.” Paterson agreed and stated that he will be asking for a full review of the policies and procedures related to conflict of interest and the Code of Conduct for members of council. “My expectation is a review will bring forward changes to clarify the actions that should be undertaken by members of council to avoid conflicts of interest and a transparent method for proactively addressing complaints from the public,” he said in his statement. “I believe this situation demonstrates the need for an integrity commissioner who will be available at the request of council at all times to provide valuable independent and armslength assessments when a conflict of interest question arises.” Overall, Candon expressed that he is somewhat relieved to be out of the vote going forward. “To be honest, if I had been told that I had a conflict up front it would have been ok, because I became a lightning rod for attention on this issue,” he said. “It is certainly frustrating because the reason I got into politics and the position I am in right now are two very different things.”

In Our Opinion

Important thing is to wear the poppy, not some misguided perception â&#x20AC;&#x153;howâ&#x20AC;? it should be worn Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I remember. I remember Cpl. George (Geordie) Drummond, who began the First World War in artillery. He finished his tour of duty as a stretcher bearer. He was my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. I remember Capt. Nick Bakay, who fought in the German infantry in the First World War. He fought against the Soviet forces who had earlier subjugated his beloved Ukraine. He was my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. I remember Chief Petty Officer Kenneth Smith, who was in charge of the engine room on several Corvettes on convoy duty during the Battle of the Atlantic in the Second World War. He was my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend and my godfather. I remember Flying Officer Jimmy Cathcart, who tipped the wings of V-1 buzz bombs with his Mosquito while defending Britain in the Second

World War. He was my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first cousin. And I particularly remember Cpl. Stephen Bakay, who, as an air traffic controller in Gander, was part of the airplane shuttle that sent much needed equipment from the U.S. to Britain during the Second World War. This was before the U.S. had entered the war and was a completely classified operation. He was in his 60s before he told anyone what he did during the war. He was my father. I also remember the subjects of many, many Remembrance Day stories Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written over the years. The names fade from memory but the faces, and their stories, will remain with me forever. Stories like getting lost on Juno Beach while driving a Jeep that carried the regimentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maps. Stories like being behind the lines in the Dutch underground during Operation Market Garden. Stories like being a war bride, or serving on the home front. I remember stories like guarding nuclear weapons in Korea. Stories like fighting your way across the length of Italy. Stories like what it was like after leaving the beaches of

D-Day. I remember stories of being behind the lines in Kosovo and Iraq. I remember them all. And one thing all the stories have in common is that they fought for our freedom, our right to believe in what we choose and our right to live how we choose to live. And by telling the stories of those that survived, we also remember that there were many who did not. We remember that there were those who died for our freedom, our rights. Sometimes I wonder if those who contend that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way to wear a poppy are remembering those who fought and died for the rest of us. It seems to me, and many others, that the important thing is to wear the poppy for a couple of weeks (or only one day if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your belief), not to wear a proscribed version of the poppy in a manner that a minority of misguided, self-important people dictate. If I choose to wear a poppy attached to my left lapel by a Canadian Flag pin, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my choice. I remember in that way and nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to tell me different.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It is critical that Kingston council continue to push forward with the third crossing Why build a third crossing? To address the inability of the City’s downtown system of roads to accommodate the flow of traffic currently using the LaSalle Causeway. Originally the traffic jams on Highways 2 and 15 were regarded as a rush hour issue. However, the traffic using these single two lane roads into and out of the City is now more or less steady all day. Widening Highway 15 and/or constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Highways 15 and 2 won’t do much to address this problem. And, we are still left with a road that is closed when the bridge is up. So, what about Highway 401? There are several convenient intersections leading into and out of the City off the 401. However, there is still a significant population living northeast of the city who use 15 as their way into the city, especially anyone working at CFB Kingston. So for these motorists, Highway 401 is not an attractive downtown link despite improved access ramps, And certainly for traffic originating in the Rideau Centre neighbourhood (Gore Road); when you consider having to drive north on Highway 15 to the 401 west to Montreal street and south to a destination in the city center then having to retrace your steps to get back home, the 401 can hardly be regarded as a preferred substitute for the Third crossing. Unfortunately, the 401 is prone to accidents that shut it down for hours. The Third Crossing represents the ideal detour. What are the fiscal and environmental consequences of the Third Crossing? In terms of fiscal considerations, it wasn’t that many years ago, prior to amalgamation when the residents of the former Pittsburgh Township, (now Kingston East) enjoyed one of the lowest Municipal Tax Rates in the Province.

Selling your house?

This was because the cost of administering the Township was largely covered by GILT (Grant in Lieu Taxes) the township received from the Federal Government. After amalgamation that money found its way into the City’s coffers and Kingston East taxes went up a corresponding amount. All of that to say that becoming a Kingston suburb has been an expensive experience for the Kingston East residents who have stood by and contributed their taxes while the City has undertaken ‘the Big Dig’, widening John Counter Blvd. the Williamsville project, Ravensview, etc. Surely, it can be argued that Kingston East has paid its dues and should be entitled to an even handed evaluation of the Third Crossing, not as a local neighbourhood initiative, but rather as an integral component of the Cities infrastructure. In terms of financial help with the new bridge it’s worth remembering that not that long ago both Highways 2 and 15 were Provincial Highways. In terms of the environmental impact, ideally the third crossing will help reduce the exhaust generated by the idling motors of the vehicles that form the traffic jams that occur at rush hour when motorists attempt to cross the causeway from both directions. In the longer term, hopefully electric technology will mitigate this problem. However, electric cars will still need to travel on improved roads. A third crossing will also provide a safe dedicated lane for cyclists who now use the dangerous causeway, and certainly it will provide an alternative direct route for emergency vehicles that otherwise must attempt to navigate a road that is often blocked. It will also provide the City with a third east west corridor across its breadth by connecting the now being improved John Counter Blvd. with Gore Road on the Kingston East side of

the river. Rather than a stand-alone project the Third Crossing is an integral component of Kingston’s transportation infrastructure. The Third Crossing has been on the City’s agenda for years. It is now clearly on track to become “shovel ready” It is critical that Council continue to support this initiative through to completion and overcome a highway situa-

tion that if not remedied now, after all these years of false starts and studies, could only be viewed as a colossal embarrassment. Thank You Hugh Carmichael

An early winter whine great place to fall asleep. So some of my prime winter activities involve anything in front of the fireplace, be it reading, playing guitar or simply staring into the warmth. It has been recommended by friends that if I simply put on some weight, I wouldn’t feel the cold so much. I just know that wouldn’t work. Instead of being skinny and cold I’d end up fat and cold. Whether I’m in Kingston or New York City, I know there will be regular massages to tide me through winter’s chill. Here in Kingston places like Elements Natural Therapies and spa and massage therapists like Alyssa Green at More to Life Kingston (moretolifekingston.com) offer comfort and healing year round. Much to my pleasant surprise, I understand that the fine folks at Elements have added a lovely new touch in their spa: heated massage tables. Seriously. Bless their warm little hearts. In New York City, the Tui Na specialists at a place called Foot Heaven, deep in the heart of Chinatown, always turn up the heat. I can easily spend 90 to 120 minutes under their pounding hands. The best part? The treatment begins with me sitting in a lazy boy chair as they warm my feet in herb infused steaming water. Another great warming activity is to use the oven a lot (there’s that fire element again). Bake treats. That’s good for bonus points. Tasty goodies and oven heat. In fact, before starting to write, I’d just finished baking an early morning batch of granola. Double benefit.

Mark Bergin COLUMNIST @markaidanbergin

Although there are varied opinions on when it’s appropriate to start playing Christmas music and put up decorations, it’s never too early for a meditation on a dislike of winter. To be more accurate, it’s the cold that deserves the rant. Our beloved editor, Hollie PrattCampbell, now on maternity leave, and I alternate who gets to write the whiny column about winter. Since she’s away, I’ve got dibs on the cask of whine. This column isn’t usually delivered until sometime in the new year. This year is special. Having just returned from a morning’s long walk with the dog, in the rain, and the cold, I thought I’d get a jump on the season of frigid temperatures and write my slanderous attack on the winter early. I love skating and skiing; I simply wish that water froze at around 15 degrees Celsius, instead of that dastardly zero point. There’s nothing prettier than a morning’s frost or a new-fallen snow covering the ground. The world takes on a fairyland appearance. It’s pure magic when viewed through a window from within a warm abode. So here it is only November. I sit wrapped in a blanket on a soft living room couch. Beneath that blanket, you’ll find me in a long-sleeve Henley shirt under a heavy flannel lumberjack shirt. Warm wool socks keep my feet cozy. A dog (AKA natural body warmer) rests on each side of me. Logs burn in the living room fireplace. It’s not even the first time this year that the fire’s been roaring. Mind you, the wood stove in the basement has not yet been asked to do its duty. That day is not far off. I thrive on warmth. On the hottest days of summer in New York City, when you practically feel like you’re swimming in the outdoor climate, I don’t complain. I simply drink more water and spend less time wandering outdoors in the mid-day heat. But this cold thing….is there anything good about it? LET’S CONNECT ON FACEBOOK!

COACH & TOURS

My idea for winter activities includes things like cognac or whiskey (yes, with an “e”), a fireplace (a real one with wood, please and thank you) burning, and a brisk walk across the living room to crank up the thermostat. What are some great winter activities? The aforementioned fireplace is ideal. I’ve already spent more than one evening curled up on the floor in front of the fireplace with my arm wrapped around two dogs. It’s a

Winter’s a season best served warm Continued from page 11

Yummy food and, because I leave the over door open when I’m finished, more heat filling the home. Spend time in local shops. You’ll find pampering treats at places like the Body Shop and Bath & Body Works (Cataraqui Centre). Visit Wayfarer Books (85 Princess Street) or other local book shops to pick up something to read in your favorite warm spot. Check out Minotaur at 78 Princess Street. They sell the most unique board games imaginable, which, heaven on earth, you play indoors in the winter. You’ve also got all the classics like chess, Scrabble, backgammon. And never forget the joy of charades. It involves movement, and that creates warmth. This is good. You can visit the websites of the Grand Theatre (kingstongrand.ca) and the City of Kingston (cityofkingston.ca), The Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning the Isabel Centre (tettcentre.org) for the Performing Arts (theisabel.ca), to see what’s going on during the winter months. If you’ve ever wanted to learn a new skill, you could take classes in weaving, pottery, jewelry-making or dance at the Tett. You can borrow a musical instrument from Joe’s M.I.L.L. and see if it’s something you’d like to go delve into. If you like outdoor activities, the region has scores of winter activities, from Kingston and Picton to Brockville and Perth. To find out about them, you’ll have to ask someone who appreciates winter. For about the next four months, I’ll be confining my activities to all kinds of warm pubs, theatres and restaurants. If there’s a fireplace, all the better. We live in one of the greatest countries of the world, which, sadly, thanks to some twisted fate, also happens to be one of the coldest. Other ways to survive winter: soft scarf,

toque, wool or alpaca socks, warm mittens, and warmly-lined hoodies (underneath the downfilled parka, of course). So for my fellow chilly, winter-detesters, what’s happening over the next few months to get you out of the house, but not necessarily outdoors? I always find the library to be a welcoming place. And any of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library locations is a good choice to pass a winter’s day or evening. There are programs for all ages. For me, outside of a dance or theatrical performance, a library is one of the most magical places to spend time. Check out the library’s website for a listing of all upcoming events: kfpl.ca. In the theatre scene, keep your eyes open for productions presented by Theatre Kingston, The Kingstown Players, Domino Theatre, and other local theatre companies as well as high school and Queen’s drama departments. I’m not encouraging inactivity; I’m simply in favor of indoor pursuits. Karate, great; yoga; hot yoga, even better. Even with this amount of whining, I’ve only briefly touched on the physical feelings of cold. I haven’t even touched on emotions and things like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I’ll end with another recommended prime winter activity. It involves my dogs, and it’s not the hour-long walk in the morning and evening. It’s when one of the two Jack Russell terriers burrows under the bed covers to lie at my feet. It’s one of the world’s best symbiotic relationships. Dog feels warm under the covers. Dog warms my feet. It’s a relationship made in heaven. The third dog loves this horrendous cold weather. A northern breed, a Tamaskan, Balto looks at my whimpering face in the morning and gives me that “grow a pair” look as he nimbly walks beside me with elegance and joy in his warm heart.

Kingston Voyageurs and Trenton Golden Hawks battle to a 1-1 draw BY JOHN HARMAN

The Kingston Voyageurs battled to a 1-1 draw with the Trenton Golden Hawks at the Invista Centre on Thursday Nov. 3.

It was a strong defensive effort by both sides with excellent goaltending by Kingston’s Ryan Glander and Trenton’s Chris Janzen. Ben Scheel scored for Trenton in the first period assisted by Rex Moe.

In the second period Cole Beckstead replied for the Vees assisted by Colin Van Den Hurk and Andrew Suriyuth. Neither team was able to score in the third period or the two subse-

quent overtimes although both sides had some excellent chances.

The Golden Hawks outshot the Voyageurs 35-25 on the night.

News – Every year, families gather around their Christmas trees to open their presents together, but not every family is able to do so – an unfortunate circumstance Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington aims to remedy with their annual Tree of Hope campaign. On Thursday, Nov. 3, representatives from Family and Children’s Services, dignitaries and community members gathered for the launch of the 2016 Tree of Hope Campaign. One of the longest running Christmas appeal campaigns, the Tree of Hope collects donations of funds and gifts to distribute to families and children in need throughout Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. Last year, the campaign helped 900 children and families with gifts of toys, food, clothing, household items, and other needs, explained Steve Woodman, executive director of the local Family and Children’s Services. “We’re really here to help families and a lot of our families have a lot of trouble at special events like Christmas,” he said. “This is a time for the community to rally our support around families that are in need of help.” Heather Morrison, chair of the Board of Directors for Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, echoed Woodman’s sentiments and highlighted the way the Tree of Hope campaign embraces the Christmas spirit. “There are many ways we share our passion for helping families and kids in this community, and perhaps the Tree of Hope is the best expression of it,” Morrison expressed. “The reason why this campaign is so important is it shows that Christmas is about giving, rather than just getting, and that the families in this community who really need help will not be alone at Christ-

This year, an individual and a community group were recognized, naming both Dr. Phil Carney and the staff of the Macdonald-Cartier Provincial Building as honorary co-chairs of the campaign.

Dr. Phil Carney, a psychologist, was honoured for his work with children in foster care and his years of dedication to working with Family and Children’s Services. Carney also serves as the deacon of St. Paul the Apostle Roman Catholic Church. The staff at the Macdonald-Cartier Building were recognized for their tireless Continued on page 15

year-round efforts to raise funds and toy donations for the Tree of Hope Campaign. Staff at the provincial building hold a variety of fundraisers throughout the year, and are a major contributor to the Tree of Hope Campaign, Woodman explained. Senior Chairman of the Tree of Hope Campaign, Santa Claus, made a special trip to Kingston for the launch of the campaign, and recognized the efforts of Family and Children’s Services in delivering Christmas to so many in the area – a cause close to his heart. “This campaign by the Family and Children’s Services really helps so many, many kids, and these kids really do need help – a lot of help from the community,” Mr. Claus said. “I want to thank everyone who is part of this beautiful campaign for doing a wonderful, wonderful job.” The campaign is running two storefronts this year at both the Kingston and Napanee Family and Children’s Services locations. The public is invited to contact the Tree of Hope Campaign at 613-545-3227 ext. 3324 for details on providing a gift for a child in need, or to make a donation by cheque or credit card. A detailed overview of how and what to give is also available

online at www.HelpTreeofHope.ca. “We’ve been helping families at Christmas in Lennox and Addington since we opened in 1894,” Woodman expressed. “Today we’re asking for the help of the public: We’re asking for your help in helping bring Christmas home for the folks in our community that really need it.”

News – When Scott Fardella came up with the idea of opening a cat café in Kingston he expected people would be excited, but he never expected the level of excitement he has seen over the past six months. “I started in May and I had a couple hundred likes on Facebook and now I just hit 2,500 and we aren’t even open yet,” he explained. “It has been amazing. It is super validating. People are super excited and really enthusiastic and I get messages everyday.” Southpaw Cat Café opened Saturday, Nov. 5, and Fardella was looking forward to finally welcoming the community into the space. The café, located at 749 Bayridge Drive, has been a work in progress for Fardella since the middle of September and he is happy with the progress he has made. “It is crazy how quickly everything has come together,” he said, noting that he is particularly happy with the location of the café. “I was looking downtown for a while and I looked at a number of spaces but either the size of the space didn’t work or the landlord didn’t want a restaurant in the space. Then this space became available and it was just the perfect size and a good location with the subdivisions in the area and the high school across the street and I thought it was a perfect fit.” The space is in the back corner of the plaza and while it appears small from the outside it is actually quite large. The café has a separate area for ordering food and drinks and the cats occupy a special room located through a set of double doors. “The vestibule is regulated by public health,” explained Fardella. “It also prevents the cats from escaping though.” Food and beverages are self serve in the café area as staff are unable to serve food in the same space as the cats. “You can order at the counter and then when it is ready you can come out and get it and bring it into the space,” said Fardella. “People

can decide for themselves whether or not they want to eat with the cats, but I imagine that is why most people are coming is to enjoy the space with the cats.” The café also has a few rules that Fardella had to put in place for liability and insurance reasons and he was a bit hesitant to reveal them to his growing fan base on Facebook. “I was a bit nervous to post it,” he said. “The biggest rule is that children under 10 won’t be allowed in the cat space, at least not in the beginning. I’m sure that everyone’s kids are fine, but there are animals in here and children are unpredictable and so are cats so we had to make that ruling, for now anyway.” In addition to this rule, visitors to the café are asked to not pickup the cats, feed the cats, wake them up when they are sleeping or put their fingers in the cats mouths. “It sounds like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that the cats are fostered and they will be adopted at some point and we want to send them away with the best habits possible and no trauma,” said Fardella. “We want them to leave on a positive note.” All of the cats in the space will be up for adoption and brought in by Kingston Animal Rescue. Fardella welcomed three of the cats into the space late last week and he was happy to see how well they adjusted. “They are loving the space,” he said. “Although they make it harder for me to work. I just want to play with them all day.” Soon there will be plenty of community members to occupy their time and Fardella is looking forward to seeing the space filled with people and cats. “My favourite part of all of this is now and seeing it all come together,” he said. “I loved decorating and putting all the cat shelving up and getting all the toys in and now seeing the cats enjoy the space too is pretty great. I’m really looking forward to seeing others enjoy it too.” For more information about the café visit their Facebook page or look for them on Instagram.

Loyalist Flowers staff ‘petal it forward’ across Kingston Nov. 3 may have started as a gloomy day, but Loyalist Flowers did their best to brighten it for many Kingstonians. Staff from the flower shop, located in Amherstview, set up in various parts of the city handing out flowers to passers by. Each recipient was given two flowers with a note that asked them to keep one for themselves and give another to someone special or even just a stranger who could use a smile. “Half the joy is receiving flowers, but the other half is giving flowers,” said Loyalist Flowers owner Shelly Murphy while handing out the individually wrapped roses in Market Square. “The response has been so overwhelming. It is incredible. People think we are selling flowers so when we give them to them for free, they are so excited.” Over the course of the day, Murphy and her staff moved from Market Square to University Avenue and Union Street to continue ‘petalling it forward’ and then finished the day at the Rio Can Centre in the west end at 2:30 p.m. “It has been so rewarding and it is so nice giving to members of the community and seeing the smiles on their faces,” said Murphy.

Meistersingers bring energy and hilarity to the stage with 9 to 5: The Musical Events – “I’ve always used my femininity and sexuality as a weapon and a tool… But that’s just natural.” – Dolly Parton It’s no secret that Dolly Parton was one of the first soldiers in the ‘Girl Power’ army, and Parton’s own debut into the world of musicals embodies that spirit with both comedy and charm. Much like the movie that came before it, 9 to 5: The Musical takes on a topic so many can relate to – discontent with the boss in the workplace – and how women working together can bring about change, no matter how difficult or ridiculous the situation might be. Set in the 1970s, 9 to 5: The Musical challenges gender stereotypes in the way only Dolly would, and has bowled over audiences from Broadway to Manchester with its sitcom-esque humour. And that’s precisely why Kingston Meistersingers choose the musical for their 2016 production, explained Liane Penny, president of the board for the community theatre group and producer of 9 to 5: The Musical. “We had just kind of come off doing

a pretty heavy, serious show, Jesus Christ Superstar, last year… so we wanted to see if we could find something to counterbalance that,” Penny said of selecting which show Meistersingers would stage this year. That’s when the theatre company noticed that the rights to 9 to 5: The Musical were available for licensing. “We just thought ‘This is really great.’ It covers a whole wide rage of ages in the cast, which is something we always aim to do, and it’s upbeat and funny,” said Penny. “And then, of course, a bunch of us are of a certain generation where we all remember the movie and how hilarious it was.” With the crew members selected over the summer and the casting calls filled in late August, Kingston Meistersingers have been rehearsing non-stop since the first week of September. While the show is very dialogue-heavy, includes a number of different songs and involves some complex choreography, the production is shaping up well for its Nov. 17 debut at the Octave Theatre, Penny said, noting that a lot of that success is down to the incredible cast. “The cast is fantastic! It’s a mix of some seasoned Kingston performers

who have been in a number of shows with us, and then some new people who have never been on stage before and are totally excited to be in a show,” she said, noting that for this particular production, Meistersingers chose to cast only those in their teens or older, due to the slightly PG-13 content. “I feel like it’s really rolling now, which makes me feel great… It’s all coming together!” The show focuses around ‘Consolidated Incorporated,’ where Judy Bernly (played by Kyli Call) enters the workforce after her husband runs away with his secretary. Penny herself fills the roll of Violet Newstead, a widow with four children whose 12-year tenure at Consolidated shows in her distain for the meaningless tasks handed down to her by misogynistic egocentric boss, Franklin Hart Jr. (played by Dave Wilkins). Hart insists on fostering the rumour he is sleeping with his secretary, Doralee Rhodes (Parton’s role in the movie, and played by Wendy Bouwma, AKA Wendy Boomer of Country 93.5 FM), despite her consistent dismissal of his advances.

Meistersingers bring 9 to 5: The Musical to local stage Continued from page 22

As the females in the Consolidated office grow weary of their boss’ chauvinism and needless firings, the ladies join forces to remove Hart from the office, and make their own mark on the workplace. “I am sure there are a lot of people who can relate to either having had a boss they didn’t quite love, or being disgruntled in a work place. Probably, when you were in that scenario, you often wondered why you sat there just gritting your teeth, thinking, ‘If I could just be the boss myself…’” Penny said of the all-too-familiar storyline. “And that’s what this show is: it’s like you actually finally get a chance to live out that fantasy. These

ladies actually do it! They take control and the turn the tables and they actually make a difference.” With a strong cast that promises to entertain and have audiences roar with laughter, Kingston Meistersingers production of 9 to 5: The Musical is “a hilarious romp,” with “a wide variety of different music styles,” Penny said. “It’s such a fun show, so I think audiences are really, really going to enjoy it.” 9 to 5: The Musical runs from Thursday, Nov. 17 to Sunday, Nov. 27, with six evening shows and two Sunday matinees. Tickets are $22 for students and youth, and $28 for adults, with all Thursday night tickets available for $20. The production will be staged at the Octave Theatre, and all evening shows will have a cash bar. To find out more or for tickets, go to www. meistersingers.ca.

Twelve new study rooms at Stauffer heighten indigenous presence at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Situated on traditional Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee territory, Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t historically presented much visible representation of this heritage or the indigenous presence on campusâ&#x20AC;Ś but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all changing. On Friday, Oct. 28, the University officially opened 12 new study rooms within Stauffer Library, each of which has been given an indigenous name. Inside each room is a painting, commissioned the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre in partnership with Corrections Canada. These paintings were created by indig-

enous artists at Joyceville Institution, and reflect the names each room has been given. While the need for more study space within the library had previously been identified, the names and paintings came about thanks to an idea from Janice Hill, director of Four Directions, as part of the largest objective she takes on in her role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mandate has largely been developing a visibility on campus,â&#x20AC;? said Hill, noting that the opportunities for this kind of project only come along every so often. Hill had noted the way another university named their rooms, sometimes in honour of individuals, and some of which had indigenous names. She brought that

idea to Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and began looking for a way to do so on campus last spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just so happened that the library was going through a planning process and looking at changing the use of some of the rooms,â&#x20AC;? Hill explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They thought it was a marvellous idea, and they were on board immediately.â&#x20AC;? Increasing the visibility of indigenous presence on campus is an important aspect of the work Hill does at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a variety of reasons, she said, but perhaps the most important reason is to encourage a larger presence of self-identifying indigenous students, she expressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aboriginal and indigenous students go where they see themselves represented, and right now if you walk through Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going

to see representation of anything indigenous, really,â&#x20AC;? said Hill, noting that the dozen study rooms at Stauffer are a pleasant change to that trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of it is increasing visible things within the environment, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also increasing curriculum so it includes indigenous knowledge and encouraging any aboriginal faculty or staff to self identify because what we have heard through research is that aboriginal students will go where there are aboriginal faculty, regardless of what discipline theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in.â&#x20AC;? This increased presence is crutial to recruitment, retainment and the success of aboriginal students, something which has been a key priority for the University for the last several years, Hill said. When she began her work as director of Four Directions in 2010, only five students came into the student body under the aboriginal admissions policy that year. Six years later, that number is up to 65 students, she said. These new rooms and the plans Hill

and her colleagues at Four Directions have for further projects to increase indigenous visibility will hopefully further the increase of the indigenous student population at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Hill expressed. The commissioned artwork is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautiful way to increase that visibility,â&#x20AC;? Hill said, noting that the artists come from very diverse indigenous backgrounds. Working on the project proved to be a positive experience for those artists, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to preserve my culture, almost like I am a warrior saving my people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good feeling; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what these paintings are giving me,â&#x20AC;? artist Austin Elijah, 25, said of the project in his artist statement. Elijah is from Southwold, Ontario, Oneida Nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud and honoured to be asked to use my talents from the Creator in this way. To Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University, I am so thankful.â&#x20AC;?

Local woman organizing half marathon and 5 km race to benefit the neurosurgery department that ‘saved her life’ BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

News – How do you ever repay someone who saved your life? This is something Kyla Tozer asked herself countless times following the successful removal of a meningioma brain tumour she was diagnosed with in the summer of 2009. “After my surgery, I brought [my doctor] in a card and a cheese basket because I was thinking ‘what do you do for somebody who saves your life?’” Tozer recalled with a laugh. “On the card, I remember writing ‘I don’t know how I’m ever going to be able to repay you, but thank you for saving my life.’” Tozer’s surgery wasn’t simple, either. What was supposed to be a fourhour surgery turned into an eighthour surgery when it was discovered that her tumour was wrapped around both the major artery supplying blood to the right side of her brain, and one of her optic nerves. In the middle of her operation, Tozer’s surgeon, Dr. Ronald Pokrupa, came into the waiting room to reassure her parents the surgery was going well despite the complications. His calm, humble and straightforward demeanour gave Tozer’s family the same sense of confidence Tozer

had felt since the moment she met Pokrupa, she explained. After seeing countless doctors and specialists since she was 16 years old for the intense headaches she often experienced, Tozer was filled with a newfound confidence when she finally found herself with a doctor who offered her answers. “He just walked into the room, and I remember this clear as day, he just dropped the disc down on the desk and was like ‘Well, this has got to come out,’” Tozer explained, smiling as she recalled the moment. “And I was like ‘Yes! Finally! Somebody who knows!’ He just knew what it was. He said ‘This is exactly what you have. Don’t make any life decisions for the next five years, and we’ll get you in before I go on vacation.’” Pokrupa was leaving for vacation the following weekend, and within the week, Tozer was on the operating table. Tozer credits the neurosurgery program at KGH for both the life-saving surgery and the exemplary care she received before and after. There is no basic plan for recovery following an acquired brain injury, as each patient responds differently, but being in the care of the staff and doctors she trusted was a tremendous help for her, Tozer explained. “Any part in the clinic that I went to, it was such a comforting feeling

after the surgery,” she said, noting that she experienced memory loss and a complete change in her life direction following her operation. “His nurse practitioner called me on the phone once a week to make sure I was fine after the surgery. They were so great.” By January of 2011, Tozer found what many brain injury patients find when she discovered the therapeutic effects of running. Her cousin convinced her to try running as a means of getting in shape and focusing energy, and Tozer threw herself into the sport fully – she signed up for a half-marathon without having ever run before, and, despite the monumental challenge it posed, she experienced a feeling she’d been searching for for a very long time. “When I am running, I am in control. I can turn left, I can turn right, I can go straight. I can stop. I can go faster and I can slow down. I’m the one who’s in control,” she said, noting that a lot of brain injury patients benefit from running because they have no control over what’s happening for so long, it’s refreshing to feel that sense of control over something so positive. “And there is nothing like the feeling after finishing a race. There’s this overwhelming adrenaline and excitement and you’re so fulfilled when you’ve finished. You see people crying at the finish line, and it’s such a great feeling.” Since she started running, Tozer’s life has changed in more ways than one. She weighed just over 200 lbs when she started running, and has lost about 80 lbs. She met her now boyfriend, Kevin, at a clinic hosted by The Running Room, where she now works. Tozer has a great addiction to running, and it’s something she aims to share with others. That’s why, when she and her mother were discussing the idea of hosting a race here in Kingston, Tozer immediately knew where she wanted the proceeds to go. “I said to my mom ‘The only way I would ever put together a race is if we gave the money to Dr. Pokrupa,’” she said, laughing as she recalled her mother’s response to her instant decision. “The moment that we decided to do the race, I knew neurosurgery was the first and only department I would want to do that for. Plus, they don’t get enough recognition!” Tozer is now in the midst of planning the inaugural Neuro Half Marathon and 5 km race, set for May 7, 2017 in the west end of Kingston. She is working with both the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation and Kingston General Hospital to organize the event, and has received massive support, both from major national sponsors like The Running Room and Best Buy, and from the community and local businesses, such as Tony Deodato & Sons, who have donated everything for a full pasta dinner following the run.

Local charities encouraged to mark Canada’s 150th with funding grants through the Community Foundation BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

Town Crier, Chris Whyman, in Kingston on Canada Day 2016. Hollie Pratt-Campbell/Metroland identified as priorities based on data from CFKA’s Vital Signs community reports over the past few years. “In particular, I think this funding offers a great opportunity to get some really interesting and creative community engagement projects going – things that will encourage people to connect with each other and their community.” Bailey also noted a particular subject matter she would like to see ad-

dressed through the projects. “I hope we receive some strong applications for projects focused on reconciliation,” she said. “With a significant First Nations population, this is particularly relevant in our community and I think it would be very meaningful to have Canada 150 funding support activities to acknowledge this important part of our history and help us move through the reconciliation process in

a meaningful way.” Applications for grants can be made to CFKA until Thursday, Dec. 22, and the projects that will receive funding will be announced in early February 2017 in order to allow projects to take place throughout the year. Kingston is one of 128 communities participating in this granting program, which will fund thousands of projects coast to coast to coast.

News – With 2017 ringing in the year of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation, local charities have the opportunity to introduce new programs, events or initiatives thanks to funding being made available through the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area (CFKA). Through partnerships with Community Foundations Canada and the City of Kingston, CFKA is inviting grant applications from local charitable organizations for projects aimed at marking Canada’s 150th anniversary. The Community Fund for Canada’s 15oth was created by the Government of Canada and community leaders across the nation, and is matched and delivered through local Community Foundations. The City of Kingston committed $40,000 to the Fund, which was matched by CFKA through the national fund for a total of $80,000 in available funding. Organizations can apply for up to $15,000 per project for initiatives involving Canada’s 15oth anniversary. “Canada’s 150th is a major milestone, with lots of activities planned both across the country and locally. This was a great opportunity for us to leverage funding available at the national level to access additional funding for charities here in Kingston,” said Tina Bailey, executive director of CFKA of the one-time special granting occasion. “We can use this opportunity to both mark Canada’s 15oth and address some of the hard issues in our community.” Bailey explained that qualifying projects will fall within any of the fund’s three themes to: • Encourage participation in community activities and events to mark Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation; • Inspire a deeper understanding about the people, places and events that shape our country and our communities; • Build vibrant and health communities with the broadest possible engagement of all Canadians, including indigenous peoples, groups that reflect our cultural diversity, youth, and official language minorities. “Within those broad themes, we would love to see applications for projects that are particularly relevant to Kingston, and address identified needs, such as our three ‘smart and caring community’ priorities: Getting Started, Food Security, and Community Engagement,” Bailey expressed, referring to the areas

Cecil ends up with a few minutes of fame

DON’T PAY FOR 6 MONTHS

Through adversity, our most honourable ﬂourish.

C’est dans l’adversité que les plus dignes s’épanouissent.

Miss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, Mother thought should be made a saint when she passed. But that couldn't happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn't a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself. She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again! He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wearing his gum-rubbers, and when he wasn't wearing stockings, which was usually the case. The noise echoed in his gum-rubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2X4. Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent. "Cecil," she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the Barr Line. "Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store. Stand up

and apologize to the class." Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat. He said nothing. Miss Crosby ordered him to the low stool that sat in the corner at the front of the room. This is where anyone was sent who misbehaved, hadn't done their homework, or generally tried Miss Crosby's patience. Cecil folded himself onto the stool, and when he had settled down, his knees were under his chin, and his hands were resting on the floor. He looked exactly like the big chimpanzee we saw when the circus came to the fairgrounds one time in Renfrew. Well, it wasn't long until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics. Miss Crosby folded the Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms. I thought she was crying, because her shoulders were shaking. The Briscoe twins, who dressed alike, finished each other's sentences and did everything together, put up their hands with one finger in the air, which meant a short trip to the outhouse. "Please Miss," Beatrice said to get Miss Crosby's attention. She raised her head from her folded arms, and she wasn't crying, she was overcome with fits of laughter. It wasn't the first time Cecil had cracked his toes at the Northcote School, but it was the first time Miss Crosby had sent him

to the stool. Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum-rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes. Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before him, and try as he might, he couldn't muster up one crack! We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order. At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the Mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn't perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum-rubbers. And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum-rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.

Intense film fizzles out with disappointing ending a HomeFinder.c

I remember reading Dan Brown's Inferno and being blown away by the ending. At the end of Ron Howard's Inferno I was blown away again, but for a completely different reason. Confused, hurt, and with the last two days of his memory gone Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) wakes up in a hospital bed in Florence. Before he can get his bearings a police officer tries to kill him. With the help of Dr. Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) he escapes. Robert and Sienna make it to her apartment where they try to piece together what's happening. Robert can't remember anything, but he finds a small Faraday projector that displays Botticelli's vision of Dante's hell. Robert picks out discrepancies in the painting, clues that lead him to believe it was changed by someone called Zobrist. Zobrist was a brilliant bio-engineer worth billions of dollars. He's also been an outspoken advocate for reducing the human population in order to save the planet. Three days ago he

My Take MARK HASKINS

threw himself off a tower in Florence. Zobrist created a plague designed to wipe out half the human population. His plague is hidden waiting like a time bomb, but he left a path for his followers to find to insure his plague is released. It's a path steeped in the lore and history of Dante. It would seem Robert was on this path in order to find the plague before it's unleashed. Now with no idea who he can trust and people trying to kill him, Robert finds himself with no choice. He must continue to follow the clues left by Zobrist to stop his plague. The joy in seeing a Dan Brown novel made into a movie is getting to see all the works of art, pieces of architecture and the places he describes in his books. In that respect Inferno doesn't disappoint. It's an exciting film with the incredible art and history of Florence as its back drop. You also get to see Tom Hanks play the intellectual action hero Robert Langdon. I can't imagine anyone else playing the role, and I love watching him piece the puzzle together. The rest of the cast is good. Felicity Jones, Omar Sy as the relentless WHO officer chasing Langdon, Sidse Babett Knudsen as Elizabeth Sinskey the head of the WHO, and Ben Foster as Zobrist are all well cast. Though this film, more than any other, is focused on Hanks as Robert Langdon. It's an intense film though I found its frantic pace took too much away from the art, the history, and the puzzle at the heart of the story. What blows me away though is the ending. The novel's finale is both shocking and thought provoking. It drives home the point regarding humanity's runaway population. For the movie however, Howard takes the coward's way out. He goes with the typical Hollywood happy ending and ruins a great story. Mark Haskins' column is a regular feature.

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC www.southfrontenac.net LIVING HERE THE WINTER WINDS AND RECYCLING

With the strong winds so far this fall, please give a bit more thought to how you put out your recycling. Take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. Loose newspapers will end up kilometers away and empty or light plastics tend to fly out into the ditches and tree lines. Not overfilling your box and crushing your bottles will make them more compact and less likely to take flight. As well, the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers vertically in the box so the wind can’t catch them or lay flat in a grocery bag then into your box; it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep the environment and our workers in mind when recycling.

Winter is coming: Are you ready? BRIAN TURNER bjoeturner@hotmail.com

Of course I'm referring to winter; that season that brings out the worst in our road conditions and does its best to drive our vehicles to an early grave. The good folks at Speedy Glass have taken the time to compile a simple list of things to help us prepare for the snowy season ahead. In case you think all of these warnings about winter driving are just so much hype, consider that in December of last year the Ontario Ministry of Transport recorded over 7,000 more vehicle collisions than in May. Safety first. A favourite topic of our readers, headlights, is at the top of Speedy's list. Damaged or defective lamps can cost you four seconds of reaction time in an emergency situation. They can also reduce the distance you can clearly see road signs at night from 115 to 50 meters. And don't forget about the importance of being able to see animals on the road. Stats Can reports that these collisions involving vehicle damage have gone up 40 per cent in the last five years. Windshields. Of course as you might suspect, an auto-glass expert such as Speedy would have something to say on windshields. Winter, with its sub-zero temps is the time when simple and repairable chips can become cracks. A cracked windshield not only presents a visual hazard, but it can also effect air bag deployment as most passenger front air bags use the windshield as a backboard. And in a roll over, a cracked windshield can increase the roof's collapse potential by up to 60 per cent. Don't forget that snow and ice must be cleared of all exterior glass surfaces before heading out on the road. Police services have stepped up their enforcement of this lately. Tire pressure. It is important to know that each time the temperature drops by 6&deg; C, the tire pressure may drop by one psi. It is for this reason that professionals suggest checking your tire pressure more often during the winter months. Maximize visibility. Wipers are not a long term item. They should be changed at least every 18 months. Anti-rain treatments such as Rain-X or Aquapel are another way to ensure maximum visibility. This type of treatment is especially useful during the winter making it easier to remove ice from a treated windshield. Fuel. Driving with a low-level of fuel can be damaging to your vehicle in cold weather.

By keeping your level high, the risk of moisture contamination caused by condensation is lowered. And driving with a full tank on very slippery days is a great way to safely add weight to your vehicle for improved traction. Cabin filter. These features are common on just about every vehicle these days and when they get plugged with dust and debris, they can greatly reduce the air flow coming out of the defrost vents. For improved defrosting, quicker warm-ups, and cleaner air, have the cabin filter checked every few months or so. Carpets. When water soaks the carpets in a car, the humidity level in the vehicle rises considerably and this can lead to windows fogging. Quality rubber floor liners help avoid this problem while keeping the carpet free of salt stains, especially Weathertech floor liners for example. Battery. Cold temperatures can weaken your battery. Also your battery must not have any trace of corrosion and your cables must be firmly fastened. Having a battery test done before winter can help ensure worry-free starts. Brakes. It's far from optimal to drive on icy roads with brakes that are not in perfect condition, making regular check-ups is essential. Engine coolant. This vital fluid is a crucial element in maintaining good cabin heat while protecting your engine. Have the level checked at every oil change and replace the coolant as per your vehicle's recommended schedule. Now if you've made it this far, here's the reward. Speedy Glass has graciously supplied five winter vehicle kits that I'd love to give away to those readers with the best winter driving tip. Simply forward your tip to my email address listed below and I'll select and print the best five in an upcoming article and get a kit out to you. This is only available to Eastern Ontario readers (sorry). Simply use the title 'Winter Driving Tip' in the subject line of your email. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing 'Question for the Car Counselor' on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.
