Kingston asked to shell out $61,000 for turtle fencing on Princess Street

Kingston Heritage – City councillors are taking a slow and easy approach to saving Kingston’s endangered turtles from becoming road kill. A request by Coun. Lisa Osanic to spend $61,000 to install chain link fencing at one problem area was shelved until the New Year after several councillors complained the turtle safeguard strategy is very expensive. “We can’t always be going to the taxpayer well for everything we do,” said Coun. Brian Reitzel. Coun. Osanic says protecting environmentally sensitive areas was identified as a municipal strategic priority. She wants to invest the money to install a low-rise chain link fence along a marsh area on both sides of Princess Street, from the Ambassador Hotel to the main CN tracks. An estimated 40 turtles were killed this year trying to cross Princess Street at the rail overpass. A recent conservation study on Kingston’s turtle mortality rate identified two dangerous areas where turtles were run over by cars while searching for nesting spots; Princess Street, near the CN overpass, and Highway 2 between Collins Bay Road and Westbrook. The team of biology and ecology specialists recommended spending $125,000 to install low-rise fencing along both roads to discourage turtles from crossing. Susan Irving, a wildlife rehabilitator at Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee, says only one of the eight species of turtle in Ontario is not at risk. Blanding’s Turtle, Eastern Musk Turtle and the Spotted Turtle Ballet Jorgen presented a Canadian-themed Nutcracker at the Grand Theatre during the are among local turtle species Christmas season. Kingston dancer/actor Kiana Gouveia returned to a hometown stage considered species at risk. Irving says one turtle from in the role of Klara in Ballet Jorgen’s Nutcracker at the Grand Theatre.

rity. “There is a crisis with the turtle population globally and here in Kingston,” she said in a briefing to council. The wildlife centre took in 110 injured turtles last year, she added. Irving says road signs indicating turtle crossings are not a good enough protective measure, and she supports efforts to install protective barriers around busy roads that cut through marshlands. The chain link barriers would be installed three feet above ground and three feet below ground to stop turtles from climbing or tunnelling around them. Coun. Jeff Scott says there are many other roadways in his rural district that could use protective turtle fencing such as Highway 38, Battersea Road and Perth Road. But he says it can be a very expensive solution. “We’d need a $2.3 million budget to start down this road.” Coun. Bill Glover supports fencing at one location near the Ambassador Hotel. “We’ve got to start somewhere.” The study reviewed the effectiveness of measures to reduce the mortality rate, including turtle crossing signs, warning signs with flashing lights, message boards and chain link fence barriers. The fencing option is considered the best turtle protective measure, but it’s also the most expensive. “There must be something in the middle,” observed Coun. Bryan Paterson of the options. Currently, the city has no budget to act on the turtle safeguard recommendations in 2014. Coun. Osanic proposed adding $61,000 to the capital budget to address the city’s most dangerous turtle crossing zone. But rather than reject her Dec. 17 motion, council deferred the budget request until the March 5 meeting of the environment, infrastructure and transportation committee to take a closer look at the options.

KEDCO ‘disappointed’ that convention Frontenac County Official Plan on its way to Ministry for approval centre not a good fit for Kingston By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Kingston’s economic development agency is expressing disappointment over a study that concludes a downtown convention centre is a risky business venture the city may want to avoid. “It was disappointing to hear that information. It’s a bit of a reality check because we’d certainly love to have neutral convention space,” said Rob Carnegie, KEDCO’s director of tourism and marketing development. A convention centre economic feasibility study, cofunded by the City of Kingston and KEDCO, says it’s unlikely any private developer would sink money into building and operating such a facility unless city taxpayers are prepared to cover any operating losses. The study listed several reasons why a new 300-to-500 seat convention centre is not a good fit for the city at this time, including limited airplane access to Kingston, not enough corporate activity to generate larger meetings, general shortage of available hotel space and an already highly competitive convention industry in Ontario. “Based upon what we’ve heard it’s not the right thing for the marketplace,” said Carnegie. However, he says the concept is not dead just yet. The city may yet decide to include the convention centre idea as part of its Request for Proposals (RFP) for Block 4 – an area of the North Block District the city wants to sell for private development. Block 4 is bordered by King Street, Queen Street, Ontario Street and The Tragically Hip Way. City council voted December 17 to accept a staff recommendation to shelve the RFP until after the next municipal election. The delay means private development ideas won’t be sought until sometime in early 2015. The feasibility study says most stand-alone convention/conference centres are government operated, except for those attached to private hotels. KEDCO says

By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — Frontenac County’s newly minted Official Plan (Version 2, revised Dec. 4) is on its way to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval. County Council approved the document at its last meeting for 2013 held in Glenburnie. The OP was mandated by the Ministry and once approved, will make the County the approval authority for all future amendments to the township Official Plans. Joe Gallivan, manager of sustainability planning for Frontenac County and author of the document, has said all along that it is intended as a “high level” document and not intended to intrude on Township plans. To that end, the version being sent to the Ministry has had most of the instances of “shall” and “will” changed to “may,” “can,” or “will be encouraged to” in an effort to streamline processes for things like minor variances and such. For example, one instance referring to a 30-metre setback for development that very much concerned South Frontenac Planner Lindsay Mills has be changed to include the phrase: “Any proposed reduction to the 30-metre minimum setback shall be in accordance with policies in Local Official Plans which establish criteria for considering such reductions.” There was little debate amongst County Councilors on the revision but Coun. Gary Davison still had his doubts.

“Is it possible that we get copies of what’s going to the Ministry?” he said. “I’m getting the feeling that there’s not as much support for this document as there could be.” ••• Council deferred discussion on the Frontenac K & P Trail Implementation Plan, Phase 2, Tichborne to Sharbot Lake until its next meeting in January. The trail would add 12.8 kilometres to the existing trail, taking it to 53.6 kilometres from the current 40.8 kilometres. The budget for this section, which includes clearing, grading, gravel, erosion/sediment control, safety measures, barriers, bollards and fencing, is about $450,000. There are some discontinuity issues but the trail committee said: “The County of Frontenac, in conjunction with the Township of Central Frontenac, will endeavour to keep the trail continuous in order to make it more attractive to users and more identifiable as a linear trail. Re-routing will take place where the County does not own the property and an easement agreement cannot be established with the landowner.” The K & P from Kingston to the Cataraqui Trail is non-motorized use only. From the Cataraqui Trail to Craig Road north of Verona, snowmobiles are allowed in addition to non-motorized uses and from Craig Road north, which includes the Tichborne to Sharbot Lake portion, ATVS and snowmobiles are allowed, along with non-motorized uses.”

the combination hotel/conference centre concept may still be a possibility for Block 4. “We basically need to wait and see whether there’s a developer that comes along with a mixed used, such as a hotel,” said Carnegie. In the meantime, the study pointed out that Kingston should continue to focus on attracting smaller conventions, with 200 to 300 delegates, involving governments, military and small associations where current facilities can meet their requirements. “What the study did do for us is basically define what our market is. We are very good at the mid-size conference market,” added Carnegie. KEDCO says it will continue to pursue events that focus on showcasing existing facilities such as the Rogers K-Rock Centre. The city hosted the Scotties Tournament of Hearts at its flagship arena last winter, and intends to bid on more sport tourism events. “We are looking at a couple of sporting events Hockey Canada, Skate Canada’s 2015 national figure skating championships and we also have our eye on hosting the RBC Cup (Junior A hockey),” Carnegie explained. The fate of a convention centre on Block 4 does not affect bidding on those tournaments, he added. Councillors had little to say about the convention centre study, voting swiftly and unanimously to delay any major decisions until after the next election. Even if the next council decides not to pursue a municipallysubsidized convention centre, the city-owned Block 4 is still earmarked for a possible hotel, high rise condominium and other buildings that have a “public benefit.” The under-used block is considered ripe for future development because of its prime ‘downtown gateway’ location. It’s currently a collection of surface parking spaces and low-rise heritage buildings. While most of the public parking would be lost, the city wants any future development to incorporate the heritage buildings.

‘Fire and Ice’ week put Kingston responders & residents to the test Bill Hutchins City Reporter editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Kingston Heritage Editorial – The days leading up to Christmas were anything but peaceful for Kingstonians. Our corner of the world suddenly became global news in, what many now call, the week of fire and ice. And, the city’s ability to handle the one-two punch also led to heaps of praise for those whose job it is to safeguard lives and property. First came the massive Dec. 17 fire that engulfed and destroyed a four-storey, wood-framed apartment complex under construction at Princess and Victoria Streets. The midtown inferno resulted in the dramatic rescue of the crane operator who was stranded above the flames. A military helicopter dispatched from CFB Trenton arrived in the nick of time to pluck the man to safety as he clung to the end of a boom atop the six-storey crane. The image of the high-flying rescue was broadcast around the world. It was a rare and proud moment, indeed. The Search & Rescue team is used to dealing with emergencies over water or in remote areas of Canada, not in the middle of a city. Kingston Fire & Rescue is to be commended for the way fire fighters battled the flames through extreme weather conditions. The more water they poured on the inferno, the more it froze on and around them. Fire fighters were coated in ice as they struggled to stop the flames from consuming nearby buildings, including a gas station, while Kingston Police ensured public safety around the

shelter and food, while keeping residents informed about the next steps. In the days that followed the Williamsville fire, with estimated damage between $20 to $30 million, came the urgent need to safely dismantle the charred crane. Four cranes were brought in, and crews worked through another threat - freezing rain - to safely remove the crane piece by piece and cart it away so the investigation into what sparked the blaze could begin. As that delicate operation unfolded, the city had to cope

with a brutal ice storm. It was probably the worst to hit Kingston since the devastating 1998 ice storm. Trees, branches and power lines toppled under the weight of three straight days of freezing rain between Dec. 20 and 22, leaving thousands without power. If this is what we get on the first day of winter, Kingstonians must be nervously wondering what the days and weeks ahead will bring? The city’s emergency response plan shifted gears - from fire to ice - to keep residents informed about power outages, shelter locations and free public transit. Mayor Mark Gerretsen and deputy mayor Sandy Berg did their jobs by asserting their civic roles as messengers of information, especially through social media – something that wasn’t around to spread minute-by-minute updates during Kingston’s last big ice storm. Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have come to play a vital role in al-

lowing fast communication during times of crisis. The fact that Kingston had 15 years to fine tune its emergency response plan, with regular training in how to use it, also played an important part in dealing with the fire and ice threats. Was it always perfect? Of course not. We heard stories that well-meaning volunteers were turned away from helping at fire evacuation centres. There are also many questions about a Building Code that allows large-scale construction using wood framing. Some residents later complained about the slow pace of sanding/salting ice-covered neighbourhood streets. But, overall, police and fire emergency responders, hydro workers, public works crews and civic leaders met the challenges of these overlapping crises. We should all be proud of their professionalism to help Kingston recover from two major threats, while keeping people safe and informed.

Kingston’s neglected rural A look behind at a challenging parks need to be spruced year and ahead at new challenges up, or given away By Bill Hutchins Reporter

The year 2013 was certainly the toughest of my political career. My decision to stay in the Warden’s chair ruffled more than a few feathers. It got Council’s and the public’s attention and although much of the publicity has been negative, Council has been productive and committed to tackling issues that have been unresolved for years. The procedural bylaw, which sets out the term of office for the warden, meeting procedures and committee structures, was completely overhauled. The redevelopment of the much-needed auditorium at Fairmount Home finally got a green light and the long-awaited construction of a northern ambulance base is underway. Council agreed

on a strategy for a County Official Plan, adopted a Code of Conduct, conducted a service delivery and organizational review and has committed to taking another kick at strategic planning. Last but not least let’s not forget that back in May when the much-contested budget finally passed, county taxes decreased! No, it was not an easy year. I didn’t expect it would be but I stayed the course with my convictions. I represented the good people of Frontenac County with honesty and integrity and I will continue to do so when I step out of the chair at the end of December. Going forward, there is still a lot of work to be done before the end of the term. The County Official Plan is likely to get a rough ride from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Previous efforts to develop a strategic plan have been met with limited success, and recommendations have come forward that the county and townships should work to foster a spirit of cooperation, collaboration and investigate the sharing of specialized expertise. It’s going to take time, energy, commitment and ever so much patience to resolve

these issues and I’ve only scratched the surface. Given the strong opinions voiced by some members of Council on some of these issues, I expect that the fireworks displayed in the past will continue. For my part, I am planning to spend more time and energy on a new issue that has cropped up closer to home, the closing of the Seniors Retirement Home in Sharbot Lake. Its closure leaves citizens in the northern part of the county with no option to stay in the area when they are unable to remain in their homes. We need to change this. In closing, I would like to publicly thank the county staff who have, on several occasions, been caught unfairly in political crossfire. The departure of the longserving and capable CAO Elizabeth Savill has meant a lot of extra work and stress for key members of senior staff. I am confident that they are caring and able folks who will continue to deliver high quality, effective and efficient service to the residents of Frontenac County and the City of Kingston but I am looking forward to hiring a new CAO who will be help us move forward.

Kingston Heritage – City council has agreed to take a closer look at improving Kingston’s undeveloped and under-utilized rural parks. In a unanimous decision, council adopted a motion by Countryside councillor Jeff Scott to undertake a complete inventory of rural parks to determine which ones should be improved or given away. Coun. Scott notes at least three parks in his sprawling district are considered wetlands with no potential for playground equipment, washrooms or other public amenities. “It’s more appropriate for the Cataraqui Conservation Area to have those properties.” But there are other parklands that are not being used because the city has not invested any money to develop the play space, he explained. It’s the second such motion from the Countryside and Pittsburgh councillors designed to give the city’s rural population a greater voice and value for its tax dollars. An earlier motion, also adopted by council, will explore the city’s Official Plan and zoning bylaws to try and encourage more commercial development east of the Cataraqui River. Both motions, authored by Councillors Scott and Brian Reitzel, follow a failed attempt by the two outer districts to hold a referendum to try and separate from Kingston. Coun. Scott says the rural district has several under-used neighbourhood parks that deserve political attention, and tax dollars, to make them more attractive to rural residents. “Let’s rectify this and make sure everyone in the city has the parks they need.” The city has invested millions of dollars to improve the Memorial Centre and Lake Ontario Park, and it’s time rural parks such as

those in Glenburnie and Westbrook get some attention as well, Coun. Scott explained. The city-owned Grass Creek Park on County Road 2 in Pittsburgh district is already slated for major improvements, but he says it’s more of a regional park. He jokingly referred to Grass Creek Park as “the best park Gananoque has.” Coun. Rick Downes supported the rural parkland review, but voiced concern the motion seems to pit the importance of urban vs. rural needs. “The road we are going down is a very dangerous road.” District councillors should be looking out for city-wide priorities, and not focusing on the demands of individual districts. The motion will put unnecessary pressure on staff and budgets, he noted. “It sets one part of the city against the other.” Coun. Rob Hutchison also questioned the timing and need of Coun. Scott’s motion, saying it veers away from the priority timelines that are outlined in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. He says the motion should have been vetted through the committee level first to ensure a balanced review, and not dropped on council at its December 17 meeting. “The councillors have not done their homework.” Coun. Bryan Paterson agrees some municipal rural properties should not be designated as parkland, and he supports a staff review of which parks are needed and the amenities that should be built. “Why are they under-utilized? Maybe it’s because some of them just aren’t needed.” The only change council made to Coun. Scott’s motion is for the review and recommendations to go to the arts, recreation and community policies committee, instead of the rural advisory committee. The review of rural park space, and what to do with it, should be completed by September of 2014.

HOLIDAY AND A

JOYFUL

By Kelly Reid Reporter

“My work is mind, body, and spirit,” says personal wellness coach Cheryl Hiebert. “Ideally what I want is to help guide and lead people to be vibrantly healthy.” Hiebert opened Sacred Journeys Healing Arts Centre 10 years ago in order to pursue this goal. “I got into this business being on the other side of wellness, and not being well,” she explains. “I had to look to more holistic avenues to heal myself.” Some of what Cheryl began to study included Reiki, vitamin supplements, organic eating and stress reduction. She studied under energy healing pioneers such as Dr. John Thie and Donna Eden. Hiebert obtained a master’s degree and now works with clients both one-on-one and in workshop settings. “Now, I feel I’ve got quite a large repertoire of skills to draw on,” she says. She explains that her work with clients can include anything from teaching them how to make green smoothies, to grief counseling. “Part of my belief is that anything that shows up in the physical body in the form of illness is usually some emotion or thought pattern,” says Hiebert. “We can work with the physical body, but the key element is to get underneath it.” As part of her work in treating spiritual illness, Hierbet has recently launched a journal series with the help of two local artists. The journals are part of the “Wisdom of Words” series, and they include inspiring quotes by Hiebert as well as photography by Stephen Wild and cover art by Bonnie Brooks.

Hiebert began collaborating with the two artists last summer. “He took some photos of places I had done retreats,” Hiebert says of how she approached Wild. Most of the photos are of the local Kingston area. As for Brooks, Hiebert asked her to design cover art because she had long been an admirer of Brooks’ work. Brooks has won many art awards for her watercolour work, and now explores mixed media as well. “Each journal in the series is totally different,” Hiebert says. She hopes to produce two or three more for the collection over the course of the coming months. “I journal all the time,” HIebert explains. She says that she often notices her clients taking notes, and thought that journals would be an excellent healing tool. “I’ve been writing for different publications for years,” she goes on. “I’m wanting to turn more attention to writing in my career.” Currently, Hiebert has several other projects underway in addition to the journals. One of her major undertakings is writing a book about dealing with pet loss from a spiritual standpoint. She is also now the wellness columnist for Fine Lifestyles magazine. In addition to these writing pursuits, she continues to plan workshops and work with clients on a daily basis. Says Hiebert, “It’s really busy, but I love it!” To purchase a journal or to inquire about personal wellness counseling, contact Cheryl Hiebert directly through the Sacred Journeys Healing Arts Centre, 613-634-8220 or email info@sacred-journeys.ca.

In Our Opinion

Jacob Marley and me Hollie Pratt-Campbell Asst. Editor

@hollieprattcamp

Heritage Editorial - Last week, I found myself nodding in understanding as I read Mandy Marciniak’s column. In case you missed it, she discussed how working for a local newspaper and continuously profiling the generous and charitable works of community members can leave a reporter feeling guilty about not doing enough to help others. As Mandy pointed out, we do in fact help in a roundabout way by choosing to do stories about such causes and bringing them to the attention the rest of the community. Spreading the word will help charities and other causes gain momentum, as more people will find out about them and want to help. I’m currently in my fifth year of working in community news, and I’ve grown increasingly cynical over time about the validity of my ostensive contribution to such causes. Ultimately, I am paid by a major media corporation to fill a weekly paper. People come to me with their stories and I choose which ones I feel my readers will find the most interesting. I enjoy heartwarming news stories about people helping those in need, and I know many others do, too.

Almost every time I write an article, the person or people I’ve interviewed thank me for telling their story and helping to spread the word about whatever it is they are passionate about. Every time this happens, I feel like saying, “No, thank YOU for the work you do for this community. I am only writing this because YOU are doing this amazing thing in the first place.” Constantly surrounding myself with those who are so passionate and eager to make a difference in the world is humbling, and highlights my own faults in the worst possible way. In general, I feel I am a good-ish person. I have a lot of love in my heart for my husband, daughter, parents, grandma, extended family and friends. I try never to criticize others unfairly and to treat everyone as I want to be treated. I am principled in my belief that poverty is political, and I make myself heard on this subject by casting my vote at election time. But I just wasn’t born with the activist bone, and when it comes to charity, I’ve sort of dropped the ball entirely in this life. I also enjoy material possessions more than I should, and my tastes are expensive. I like fashion and I love to travel. Between editing two papers and parenting, I usually have about one to two hours of “me” time a day. Ideally, I would spend this time volunteering or doing something to make the world a better place, but all really want to do is

go to yoga, read or watch TV. Lately, I’ve been feeling down about my lack of caring. I’ve been thinking a lot about A Christmas Carol and the chains Marley’s ghost drags around with him, symbolizing his greed and wrong-doings in life. “Yours were as long as mine seven Christmas Eves ago,” the ghost tells Scrooge of his chains. I can’t help but wonder, how long are my chains, and is it possible to shorten them? I’m not a particularly religious person, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t often contemplate how my actions – good and bad – will come back to haunt me. Yet even these feelings of melancholy are vain, selfish and don’t really do anybody any good. After all, if I want to help people, why don’t I just get off my butt and do so and stop whining about the wretched state of my soul? Like Mandy, I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. People get all excited about making these positive changes in their lives while choosing not to acknowledge how difficult it is to break old habits and introduce new ones in the long term. But maybe 2014 can be the year that I take some small steps in the direction of becoming a better, more charitable person. Maybe I can start with trying to do one good deed a week, and the good feelings that come from it will leave me wanting more.

Winter safety is extremely important Editorial - This year, unlike years in the recent past, winter chose to arrive rather abruptly. Before the season actually arrived, Kingston saw a few snowstorms and of course, the recent ice storm, which arrived with the solstice. Because of this abrupt beginning, many of us have been scrambling to make proper preparations, with countless residents quickly installing winter tires to deal with the snow and rushing out to buy snow shovels and salt to combat the treacherous weather. With the recent prolonged power outages and emergency situations that go along with that, we wonder if more emphasis should be placed on proper precautions to prevent these difficult situations. Many families are without safety kits and back up generators and while these items may sometimes seem unnecessary, perhaps they should be mandatory for all households. While the City of Kingston and many other municipalities are well equipped to deal with these situations and often open warming centers or emergency centers, residents should also be prepared for the worst in their own home. What if the power goes out in the warming centers and there is nowhere to go? Shouldn’t you have a backup plan in your own home? The Canadian Red Cross recommends multiple items to have in a survival kit in case of an emergency or disaster including 72-hours worth of non-perishable food and water for each person, crank operated flashlights and radio, a manual can opener, emergency plan and first aid kit. How many of these items do you have on hand in your home? If the answer is none or very few then perhaps it is time to consider buying or assembling your own emergency preparedness kit. Many of us were without power recently and undoubtedly we all thought of items that would have made our lives easier in that situation. Perhaps now is the time, while that experience is still fresh in our minds, to purchase those items for the next time.

and can still make it from Sharbot Lake to the Parliament Buildings in less than two hours (assuming I time things right to miss the school buses). Another concern the Prime Minister might have is the recent track record of journalists who’ve become Senators. I’d like to point out that, while applauding the acknowledgement of the profession, the two Senators in question were television journalists. Other than a cable-TV movie review program, I have been a print journalist exclusively in my 30 years in the business. While Senator Segal has served this area with distinction over his Senate tenure, there is one area I believe I could improve on.

amount of time on Senate business in Kingston (judging from his travel records for the last two months). But given the rural nature of this area, and indeed all of Eastern Ontario, you may concur that having a Senator show up at the Perth Fair, the Blue Skies Festival or Canadian Fingerpicking Championships might just do a world of good, moralewise. In conclusion, let me just say that in my opinion, being a Senator is the best job this great country of ours has to offer.

Mark Bergin

Young actor is heading for bigger stages and screens Castle in a Cloud. After the show I was with Mom waiting outside. Lauren was hiding behind her dad. He came up to my mom and told her that his daughter was watching me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When I grow up, I want to be just like her.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When I was in Grade 8, I was Miss Hannigan and Lauren was Grace in Annie. Then we became much closer in high school.â&#x20AC;? Lauren agreed that seeing Hailey perform was pivotal for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that I decided maybe I should give it a try,â&#x20AC;? says Lauren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked fun. I started with little skits in school.â&#x20AC;? After her performance as Grace in Annie she decided that acting was a career path worth following. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad signed me up for an acting program in Toronto,â&#x20AC;? says Lauren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a birthday present.â&#x20AC;? Her early training was at the Academy of Acting in Toronto. She now travels to Toronto regularly to work with acting coach Frank Caruso. She also trained in ballet for three years, has a singing coach, Molly Luhta, and plays bassoon. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeared in many shows in the past, including Hairspray, Anything Goes, Julius Caesar and, most recently, Guys and Dolls. In conversation, Lauren and Hailey bounce off each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very much comedic,â&#x20AC;? says Hailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned a lot about comedic timing from Hailey,â&#x20AC;? says Lauren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was filming a religious video,â&#x20AC;? says Hailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I needed Lauren to cry in the video. She was so believable. She taught me how to be a dramatic actor. I have trouble being serious. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned a lot from Lauren.â&#x20AC;? Lauren pipes up, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hailey taught me to be comedic.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say Lauren learned well. Her comedic timing, along with the New York Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-style accent, was impeccable. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking at university acting and film programs at Ryerson and the University of British Columbia. Her parents are supportive of her acting aspirations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never seen two parents who are so there for their child,â&#x20AC;? says Hailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like her dad driving her to Toronto for acting coaching. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky to have both the talent and the support. I grew up watching her. Her roles kept getting bigger and the bigger the role, the bigger she got in talent. She owns the stage when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on it.â&#x20AC;? Lauren agrees on the importance of

support for young people wanting to enter an acting career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would tell younger kids to never give up,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter what people say, do what you love. You know how it makes you feel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your life. Trust yourself. Some teachers in the past when you talk about what you want to do, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hesitant and say actingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always a job with steady income. But my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really supportive. That helps a lot.â&#x20AC;? Anyone ruling out a career in film or theatre because of a fear of not having a steady income is not living in the present day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014. I could name multiple university and college programs producing far more graduates than there will ever be jobs. The reality is that almost no career offers the kind of stability that was available 20, 30 or 40 years ago. So you may as well choose a career that triggers your passion. Lauren feels well prepared for her acting career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Regi I found I loved it so much because of the community,â&#x20AC;? says Lauren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Regi everyone is so supportive, all the teachers and students. Being in a community like that solidified what I want to do.â&#x20AC;? Why the stage? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get such a rush being on stage,â&#x20AC;? says Lauren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes me so happy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to explain, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things where you feel so great in the

moment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I want to continue. I feel inspired when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m acting.â&#x20AC;? She has some dream roles sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to play someday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to be Wendy in Peter Pan,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153; A n d Ă&#x2030; p o nine in Les Mis.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a treat to watch and listen to Lauren Knight and Hailey Hill together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a playful yet intensely serious mood in the air. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for Lauren Knight? Shortly after our interview, she headed to New York City with her family to see Newsies. In the near future, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be prepping for her application to university acting and film studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to prepare a mandatory short film,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to create the script.â&#x20AC;?

Lauren Knight, centre, in her role as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls at Regiopolis-Notre Dame in December. Photo/Mark Bergin She says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to be involved in some community theatre productions.

When Lauren Knight was a little girl, she wanted to be just like actor Hailey Hill. Now, these actors learns from each other. Every so often, an actor who is bound for something bigger emerges from the local scene. Several years ago, it was Kiana Gouveia (now 16, featured in this column in April 2011) in Annie, who recently returned to the Grand Theatre as Klara in Ballet Jorgenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Nutcracker. Then came Hailey Hill, featured in EnchantĂŠ in January 2012, as Penny in Hairspray. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lauren Knight. There must be some creative magic in Gananoqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water. Both Hailey and Lauren hail from Gan. Lauren, two years younger than Hailey, now attends Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School (Regi) in Kingston, Haileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (who now attend the University of Western Ontario) alma mater. Sixteen-year-old Lauren, a Grade 11 student, recently pulled off a spectacular performance as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusual for a director to see anything new, but the same local director (not from Regi) who first raved to me about Hailey Hill, said that Lauren Knight has the makings of a Nina Arianda, the 2012 Tony Award-winning actor who starred in Venus In Fur on Broadway. There could be no higher compliment. And that compliment is well-deserved. She nailed the role, accent and all, of Miss Adelaide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so excited to get the role,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adelaideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so funny. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a comedic role and I get to try something different.â&#x20AC;? Miss Adelaide, gambler Nathan Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠe in Guys and Dolls, is a tricky role. To overplay it would make the musical trite, meaningless and corny. An actor has to have a highly refined sense of comedic timing, yet maintain Miss Adelaideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street cred by not looking foolish. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart woman underneath those furs. It takes a smart actor to live in those shoes. Lauren Knight is a brilliant actor. Given their interweaving paths, I sat down with Lauren Knight and Hailey Hill in Gananoque just before Christmas to talk about Laurenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting career. There was no awkwardness between them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met when I was nine and she was seven,â&#x20AC;? says Hailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was singing

In this issue we continue our year in review of the news that made headlines in 2013 July

changes the course of their future significantly.”

It was a happy ending for 19 students from QECVI, who found themselves unable to pay some unexpected early administrative fees after working hard to be accepted to post secondary schools. Thankfully, members of the community came together to raise a total of about $5,500, allowing the students’ post secondary dreams to come true. Head of student services at QECVI, Tamiko Ferguson, played a large role in encouraging and assisting the students during the postsecondary application process. She notes that even for her, it was “eye-opening” to learn the extent to which these financial hurdles exist: “I didn’t realize the extent of the issue, and all of the roadblocks that are there for students who don’t have a lot of money. If they weren’t willing to come forward and ask for the help, or if we hadn’t realized that it was an issue, then I’m not sure what would have happened. Lots of them wouldn’t have been able to go, and then that

Fort Henry unveiled its brand new sunset ceremony with a dramatic new light show to complement the live performance of the Fort Henry Guard recreating an 1860s-style British military drill. The changes were made possible by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission investing over $750,000 in a state-of-the-art 2.5D projection system. “It’s a really great integration of modern technology and the history of the site,” said general manager Will Baird. “Imagine, if you will, the guard are now firing and all of a sudden a charge of cavalry is running towards you, or an enormous lion from England is roaring in your face at the same time that this battle is taking place and the music is being performed.” Baird said that a large part of the motive behind the changes is to try and encourage more local Kingstonians to come out to the show.

WINTER MAINTENANCE Winter is now upon us. To assist our crews in their winter control efforts, the parking of vehicles on Township roads and village streets from 12:00 midnight to 7:00 a.m. is not permitted from December 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. As well, pursuant to Section 181 of the Highway Traffic Act “No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway without permission in writing from the road authority responsible for the maintenance of the road. Please be advised that the Township of South Frontenac will NOT be responsible for damages to mailboxes, newspaper boxes, recycle boxes or parked cars where said boxes or vehicles interfere with the winter maintenance on Township roads.

City Council voted 10-3 to install ‘buffered’ cycling lanes that will eventually stretch between Bath Road and Division Street. “We are making a mockery of us even using the word sustainable if we don’t embrace this,” warned Coun. Jim Neill, whose Williamsville district will get the dedicated cycling lanes. He said Kingston’s drive to become Canada’s most sustainable city is in jeopardy if council thumbs its nose at those who want to ride their bikes. “If we don’t support this I never want to hear Kingston described as a sustainable city. But the project was not without its critics, who say this stretch of Princess Street is too narrow and will lose 66 of 126 on-street parking spaces to give cyclists their own lanes. Over 700 people signed a petition to keep parking on midtown’s Princess Street. The owners of The Star Diner were furious over council’s recent decision to install bike lanes on a 1.2 kilometre section of midtown’s Princess Street, a move that will lead to the elimination of 66 on-street parking spaces between Bath Road and Division Street. “It’s a bad decision,” said Ida-Mae Lows, co-owner of the Star Diner at 849 Princess Street. Lows and her husband, David Blodgett, started a petition after learning of council’s August 13 decision, which quickly grew to over 700 signatures. The petition urged council to reverse its decision to remove dozens of street parking spaces. The Kingston Kids’ Perch Derby is saved from the brink of cancellation. The event was going to have to close due to lack of ministry funding, but community member Mike Deslauriers, local president of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO), came to the rescue. He saw helping out with the derby as a chance to get involved with the community, and show people that correctional officers care too. The UCCO raised over $2,300 dollars for the event and generated 35 volunteers, making the day possible.

Kingston approves a bylaw banning pet sales from pet stores. “We are a little town but we’re making some big moves here,” beamed Jessica Hellard with the group Kingston Animal Rescue. “We think it’s the most progressive (bylaw) in Canada and that’s putting Kingston on the map for it.” With no debate at their July 16 meeting, councillors voted 9-2 to make Kingston one of only a few cities in Canada to ban the retail sale of cats, dogs and rabbits from unsourced suppliers. The measure is designed to put the bite on illegal breeders, eliminate so-called impulse buying of pets, and reduce the city’s pet over-population.

ceived the green light from the province to proceed with construction of a third bridge crossing over the Cataraqui River. Despite four challenges against the city’s environmental study, the Minister’s Order said Kingston has demonstrated the need for a 1.1 kilometre third crossing between John Counter Boulevard and Gore Road for the “betterment” of residents. The minister’s go-ahead Order will allow the city to proceed with further planning and land acquisition, but the bridge affordability and construction timetable remain a question mark. It’s estimated a third crossing will cost between $120 million and $196 million, and the city has not yet budgeted any funding.

The Limestone City Blues Festival chalked up another huge success with this year’s event, which wrapped up four days of music on Aug. 25. A couple of thousand people jammed into Market Square to get their fix of the music that migrated up the Mississippi more than a century

ago. Jan MacDonald, Projects Manager Marketing for Downtown Kingston! Business Improvement Area (BIA) said that this year the crowd was bigger than it has ever been. Headliner Ana Popovic faced a crowd with high expectations and didn’t let anyone down. “Ana Popovic clinched the evening,” said local Karen Stos, who attended the concert. “With her cool, classy band and, of course, her effortless command of her guitar, she’s a world class act.”

September The Queen’s Alma Mater Society attempted to rebrand the image of the so-called “student ghetto” by changing its name, in order to remove the stigma associated with the area. The AMS proposed changing the name to the “University District.” The student government’s proposal would see the placement of “University District” markers above existing street signs, much like Kingston’s Portsmouth Village or Toronto’s Yorkville District street signs. Kingston city council endorsed the rebranding effort, but first wanted to hold public consultation this fall before making a final decision. “This is a great opportunity,” remarked the mayor of the newest town-gown iniGina’s

Battle Lines: OMB hears challenge to Kingston’s revised district boundaries By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – School’s in, but students are feeling left out. The City of Kingston is set to square off against its post-secondary student population in a legal battle at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). A Sept. 9 OMB pre-hearing at City Hall is expected to iron out details of the case before a full-fledged hearing begins, likely in October. On the surface, the hearing will fo-

The future of town-gown relations and even some political careers may also hang in the balance. The OMB appeal is led by two groups – Sydenham District Association and the Queen’s University Alma Mater Society – who are trying to overturn city council’s controversial 7-6 vote last April to exclude thousands of college and university

tiative. He added: “Make that area of the city feel like it’s more part of the city” and said that a name change might spur Queen’s to take more ownership of the off-campus area than it has in the past, especially when it comes to keeping it clean. Kingston WritersFest celebrated its fifth year Sept. 25-29 at the Holiday Inn. The annual festival has grown into one of the Canada’s premier literary events, attracting the top authors from across the country. This year, many big names like Margaret Atwood, Joseph Boyden and Anne Michaels attended. Local authors like Wayne Grady and Iain Reid also played a large role in the festival. “It’s an opportunity to meet people in the community who are interested in books and writing who I normally don’t get a chance to see or talk to,” he said Reid. “Sometimes you recognize people just from walking around town, and at the festival they come up and say hello and I’m able to put a name to the face which is kind of pleasant.” The City of Kingston introduced a 14-point plan to reduce the city’s unwanted pet population. “This is a new way of doing business,” said Janice Saunders, president of the Kingston Humane Continued on page 11

A look back at the stories that made the headlines of 2013

October Kingston Pen turned into Alcatraz North Oct. 2 – 20 as the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington United Way partnered with Corrections Canada to start offering one-of-a-kind public tours of Canada’s oldest and most notorious prison. “These tours present an unprecedented opportunity for Canadians to learn about Kingston Penitentiary and public safety. At the same time, visitors will be supporting those in need in the Kingston area,” said Lori MacDonald, Corrections Canada’s regional deputy commissioner (Ontario Region) who is also chair of the 2013 United Way fundraising campaign. The tours turned out to be extremely popular and tickets sold out quickly. It was later announced that they raised a total of $171,540 for the United Way. Queen’s Homecoming street parties sparked a Twitter feud between Mayor Mark Gerretsen and students. An estimated crowd of 2,500 gathered on streets around the newly-named University District, formerly known as the student ghetto. More than 100 police officers patrolled the offcampus neighbourhoods on Saturday, Oct. 5. They handed out 133 tickets, mostly for public drunkenness, and made 15 arrests. “I am standing at William and Aberdeen. I have two words for you: NOT GOOD,” he tweeted to the Queen’s principal on the Saturday evening. Later, he posted: “As the Mayor I find the actions of many @queensu students last night unacceptable. Really don’t appreciate the lack of respect.” Many students and members of the Queen’s community were upset by the tweets. Queen’s political sciences professor Brandon Tozzo joined the fray, noting Queen’s University contributes $1.5 million to the local economy. “How well are downtowns doing in

Dozens of students in the Limestone District School Board worked with local mentors such as musicians Gord Sinclair and Paul Langlois and artists Su Sheedy and Helen Haynes to put on the glamorous Crystal Ball Gala in support of the Limestone Learning Foundation. This year, photojournalist Rob Mooy also mentored some young protégés for the first time. The four students participated by documenting mentor/mentee rehearsal and studio sessions leading up to the event, as well as the gala itself. Mooy said that he had many supportive teachers who encouraged him to pursue photography. “I thought I could pay it back somehow,” he said. The ball took place Oct. 20 raised a record-breaking $150,000 for future learning opportunities funded by the Limestone Learning Foundation.

November Canadian Idol winner Ryan Malcolm returned home to Kingston to revive his role of Buddy Holly for the Kinsmen Club of Kingston’s 75th annual musical. Directed by Moira Davies, the show proved to be a huge hit, as it was in 2010. “I grew up on great ‘50s rock ‘n roll, and Buddy Holly is the epitome of that era,” Malcolm told The Heritage. “[The music] is part of who I am, so for me it’s not a big stretch because I know Buddy Holly so well that it feels very right.” Malcolm, who left shortly after to open a restaurant in El Castillo, Costa Rica, said that it was a nice way to say goodbye to Kingston for a while. “This will definitely be the last time I’ll be performing in Kingston for at least a few years. So it’s a great privilege for me to sort of say goodbye to the Grand Theatre. It’s such a great venue and a fantastic opportunity to me.” The Ontario Municipal Board rules that students will be counted in district vote counts after all. In her 10-page ruling issued Nov. 8, OMB chair Sylvia Sutherland upheld the appeals of the Queen’s University Alma Mater Society, Sydenham District Association and resident Kevin Wiener, and ordered the city to count the students in time for the 2014 civic elections. “Obviously we are very pleased. We got everything we were hoping for and more than most had expected,” said a jubilant Ken Ohtake of the Sydenham District Association. The successful appeal was launched after city council voted 7-6 last April to exclude Queen’s University and St. Lawrence College students from the 12 electoral districts, or wards. The city argued it was hard to determine the

exact addresses of students and that many of them don’t vote in the local elections. While Sutherland says the Board does not overturn a council vote lightly, she ruled that council “acted unreasonably.” Effective representation requires that each district have relatively equal numbers of total population, she explained. Countryside councillor Jeff Scott and Pittsburgh councillor Brian Reitzel dropped a bombshell notice at the Nov. 19 council meeting calling for a 2014 municipal referendum, asking voters in their districts “whether they would, or would not, like to negotiate a municipal arrangement outside of the City of Kingston.” They said it related to the fact that taxes continue to be raised in their areas without an increase in services. “You have no idea how much bitterness is out there. I asked people what they want to do and they said. “We want to go back to the way we were,’” said Coun. Scott. He says the separation motion is a direct result of the recent Ontario Municipal Board ruling that preserves a downtown district and orders the city to include post-secondary students as part of the population count. He believes that will erode representation in other areas of Kingston. “There are 20,000 student votes down here. Guess what, they outnumber me two to one,” said Coun. Scott. Mayor Gerretsen eventually ruled the motion out of order, as provincial law prohibits district separation from municipalities; however, he agreed to work with the two councillors to try and see to it that their constituents are better heard.

been disclosed, but his usual rate is $400 an hour. This came just as the City was in the process of deciding whether a full-time integrity commissioner is needed to handle future issues surrounding the conduct of councillors. They decided to study the cost of hiring an independent person to monitor their own behaviour and to advise the elected group when the conduct rules have been broken. A massive fire broke out at the site of a student housing development at the corner of Princess and Victoria Streets. Onlookers watched with shock and terror as it became known that a crane operator, later identified as Adam Jastrzebski, was trapped on top of his six-storey crane, having had to make the perilous walk to the edge of the boom to escape the smoke and flames. Jastrzebski, from London, Ontario, waited patiently for 45 minutes for his rescuers to arrive from CFB Trenton Search and Rescue. In a scene worthy of a Hollywood movie, Sgt.

Just days after the fire, Kingston and area was hit with a bad ice storm, which many compared to Ice Storm ’98 in terms of severity. Many people were left without power for days on end, but city’s emergency response plan shifted gears - from fire to ice - to keep residents informed about power outages, shelter locations and free public transit. Mayor Mark Gerretsen and deputy mayor Sandy Berg did their jobs by asserting their civic roles as messengers of information, especially through social media – something that wasn’t around to spread minute-by-minute updates during Kingston’s last big ice storm. Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have come to play a vital role in allowing fast communication during times of crisis.

Society, who endorsed the city’s most ambitious ever attempt to stop unwanted litters. The so-called Responsible Pet Ownership Program (RPOP) includes a tax contribution of $50,000 a year to establish a low-cost spay/neuter program that will benefit low income pet owners. The program will provide a $100 voucher to pet owners who qualify. While some councillors expressed concern over the price tag associated with the plan, the motion to introduce the initiative passed 10-2. Coun. Kevin George says the $50,000 investment in low cost spay-neuter services will eventually reduce the city’s per-animal pound costs. “It’s a good thing to do.” The RPOP also included incentives to get more pets licensed and stiffer financial penalties for pet owners whose untagged animals go stray and end up at the pound.

The Kingston/Frontenac EMC - Thursday, January 2, 2014 11

A look back at the stories that made the headlines of 2013

In this issue we continue our year in review of the news that made headlines in Frontenac in 2013 July In a long-standing tradition, Central Frontenac Township honoured its four Seniors of the Year. Following tradition, one recipient from each of the four districts was chosen. District 1 (Kennebec) Senior of the Year for 2013 was Sarah Hale, Art Barker was the District 2 (Olden) Senior of the Year, Sally Angle was the District 3 (Oso) Senior of the Year and Doris Campsell was the District 4 (Hinchinbrooke) Senior of the Year. Central Frontenac Council introduced the township’s new CAO/Clerk. Larry Donaldson took over the duties of the office on July 15. Donaldson said he looked forward to meeting more Central Frontenac residents and “to fostering strong relationships between council, staff and the community we serve.” The Friends of Arden gathered on the Canada Day weekend to unveil its latest project — a new sign and parkade on Arden Road, immediately south of Highway 7. It was a joint venture by the Friends of Arden, the Township of Central Frontenac and The County

of Frontenac, who provided a grant through the county’s Integrated Community Sustainability Planning Fund. Roger and Reta Azulay celebrated their 25th year owning and operating the Northway Home Hardware in Inverary. The store has always been a family establishment for the Azulays and their biggest change over the years has been adapting to an ever-changing retail environment. To celebrate, the store offered a customer appreciation sale at the end of July.

August The Canadian Guitar Festival celebrated its ninth annual edition at Loughborough Lake Holiday Park on Sydenham Road. The weekend festival featured workshops, competition and performances making it a unique experience for all those involved and in attendance. Kingston/Frontenac Habitat For Humanity broke ground for its first ever home outside of the Kingston area in Tichborne. “We’re bringing back the tradition of building homes for others in our community,” said Mayor

Gutowski in welcoming a rather large group to the ceremony. The Tichborne home will be the 12th for the Kingston/ Frontenac chapter. Councilors, residents and guests from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada gathered at a brand new concrete pad next to the helipad at Fernleigh Airport on 506 to designate the Township of North Frontenac as a Dark Sky Preserve. “There are 17 Dark Sky Preserves in Canada but this is the first time an entire municipality has been designated,” said Robert Dick, manager of the Canadian Dark Sky Preserve Program.

September Northern Frontenac Community Services held its fourth annual ‘thankyou’ barbecue to say thanks to the community for all its support over the years. This year, executive director Don Amos and staff wanted to go a little bit further. There were face-painting stations and hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and drinks of course, as well as a miniputt golf course. Oso Beach in Sharbot Lake was awash in a sea of people for this annual wrap-up event.

Sydenham Legion held its first annual car rally. Bob Leggett, a new member of the Sydenham Legion 496, came across the idea of a car rally when he was brainstorming fundraising ideas for the Legion. Along the drive, or rally, participants stopped at points and answered questions and participated in activities. If they were successful, they were rewarded with a playing card. At the end of the route, participants created a poker hand and the best hand won the rally.

Two fire halls to get immediate repairs but Council holds off on two others By Craig Bakay Reporter

Laura Donefer Pg. 17

Gazette News — Further to a comprehensive fire hall and equipment study that was presented to the Committee of the Whole meeting Sept. 10, South Frontenac Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough asked Council to approve repairs to Stations 2 (Burridge) and 7 (Latimer Road) at its regular meeting last week in Sydenham. “There were a number of issues identified in the study and we are going to put together a report, which will take four to five weeks to do, where we take action immediately on a number of items previously identified,” he said. “Some of the buildings are quite dated

and there are a number of immediate health and safety issues. “The funds have been allocated.” The funding approved includes $10,000 for a water grating at Station 2 and a door framing that needs to be raised at Station 7 priced at $6,000. However, the study also identified issues at Station 5 (Perth Road, $10,000 for walls and windows) and Station 6 ($7,000 for walls and floor) but Chesebrough recommended holding off on those, suggesting that spending that amount of money on those two stations might not fix all the issues. Two of the issues identified in the study, by Lyle Quann, suggested that drive-through stations have a decreased risk of accidents

and that population should be the driving factor in where services are located rather than services dictating population growth. (Quann pointed out out that compliance with Fire Underwriters Standards has an impact on residents’ insurance premiums.) Chesebrough suggested that both buildings may need to be replaced in the near future and, as such putting money into them now might be a waste. Council seemed on board with that line of reasoning. “I’m glad you suggested that Stations 5 and 6 not be done,” said Coun. Ron Vandewal. “I want to concur,” said Coun. Del Stowe. “I’m glad to see you looking at the

term and allowing this to become a bottomless pit.” “I think the Chief is right on top of the whole thing,” said Coun. Larry York. Coun. Cam Naish wanted to know if releasing the funds meant they necessarily had to be spent. “The repairs to Stations 2 and 7 are in the budget and will go ahead, but not Stations 5 and 6,” said CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr. Beside the four stations already mentioned, South Frontenac has five others, Station 1 on Steele Road (off Bradshaw Road), Station 3 on Road 38 in Verona, Station 4 on Holleford Road in Hartington, Station 8 on Battersea Road in Sunbury and Station 9 on Carrying Place Road near Seeley’s Bay.

A look back at the stories that made the headlines of 2013

In this issue we continue our year in review of the news that made headlines in Frontenac in 2013 ebrated their first ever evening of poetry. Resident Brent Raycroft approached owner Pat Dawson about the evening and she was happy to support the idea. The evening featured readings from Raycroft, Roger Dorey, a blues singer/songwriter/ poet and Jeanette Lynes, this year’s writer-in-residence for the Kingston Writersfest. Bikers blitzed Arden and area in support of disabled skiing. For a number of years now, ride organizer Bill (Drifter) Truman and a number of like-minded Legionnaires and others with large motorcycles have gotten into the habit of taking long rides around the area, stopping at various Legions, and raising money for good causes in the process. This year, the chosen charity was the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing, and while not specifically targeted towards ex-service personnel, CADS does do a lot of work with military members injured in the line of duty.

November

Sydenham poet Brent Raycroft won the Readers’ Choice Award in the Walrus Poetry Prize contest. Raycroft has been writing poetry for years and The Walrus win certainly puts Sydenham on the map a bit more in terms of poetry. Raycroft won for his poem entitled ‘Scarecrow’. Sydenham launched its new Lunch 4 Teens program. Resident Janet Knights restarted the program after a two-year hiatus. Working with St. Paul’s Anglican Church and other members of the community they run a lunch program on Tuesdays at 11a.m. for local teens that need a nutritious lunch. “I would encourage students to come out to be part of the community and it gives them a chance to see what the community can do for them and then maybe they can do something in return,” said Knights. Planner Joe Gallivan presented the County of Frontenac Official Plan — Second Draft to County Council at its regular meeting in Glenburnie and the second version contained substantial changes from the first, based on public feedback

and suggestions from the townships, including South Frontenac’s Planner Lindsay Mills. Changes were summarized in three categories: More discretionary wording, details moved to appendices and focus on regional perspective. Also, two new maps were added showing the Algonquin Land Claim and Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve.

Fire permit sales up over previous years in Central Frontenac By Craig Bakay Reporter

Gazette News — The Central Frontenac Fire Department’s fiscal year was up at the end of November and Fire Chief Bill Young said that it was a record year in terms of permit sales. “We had 469 incinerator permits sold for a total of $2,023,” he said. “There were 722 campfire permits for $935 and 253 brush/yard permits for $283.” The previous high totals were 346 incinerator permits for $1,476 in 2010, 428 campfire permits for $530 in 2011 and 197 brush/yard permits for $216, also in 2011. As far as the regular station activities go, Young characterized October as “a very quiet month with only eight calls to-

tal (one fire, six medical calls, one other assistance which Young believed was a cat in a tree).” November was somewhat busier for the fire departments, with two fire calls, two public hazard calls, eight medical, three rescues and one other assistance call. To date, the Central Frontenac Fire Department has answered 53 fire calls, 18 false alarms, 13 public hazard calls, 113 medical calls, 27 rescue calls, and 20 other assistance calls for a total of 244 calls that consisted of 2,257.1 hours. ••• It turns out that the MPAC assessment of the size (acreage) of Sharbot Lake Provincial Park was a little short, and that could translate into more tax revenue for

Central Frontenac Township. Treasurer Michael McGovern presented the findings to Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake and said “the net financial impact based on the 2012 rate was a loss of $3,989.10 but is now a gain of $378.60.” It turns out, the MPAC assessment had the size of the park at 99 acres when it is in fact, 198 acres. “How could they lose 100 acres?” quipped Coun. Frances Smith. ••• Turnabout is fair play. Coun. Bill Snyder tried to get an issue about signage in Hinchinbrooke District onto the agenda at the regular Central Frontenac Council meeting last week in

Sharbot Lake and Coun. Norm Guntensperger, who was chairing the meeting, was about to let him. However, Mayor Janet Gutowski raised a point of order that Council had already approved the agenda for this meeting and Guntensperger had no choice but to rule in her favour. But later on in the meeting, Her Worship tried to invoke discussion on possible meeting times for 2014 budget discussions saying “we were asked by administration to bring our calendars so we could set dates for budget discussions because we have to get this out to the public.” Guntensperger’s response and ruling was succinct: “We’ve already approved the agenda for this meeting Madame Mayor.”

December South Frontenac Council passed its 2014 budget at its regular meeting in Sydenham, approving an increase in taxation of 2.91 per cent, which results in an increase of about $58 for the average property. Township is expecting about $10,698,713 in revenues (essentially unchanged from 2013) and expenses of $24,331,229, meaning that $13,632,516 has to be raised through taxation. The expenses represent an increase of $721,251 or 5.59 per cent over 2013. A Verona tradition dating back 18 years had to undergo a bit of tweaking this year. The annual free skating day and tree-lighting ceremony in McMullen Park had been a regular Christmas time event for the Verona Community Association, but a change to the annual school PA day (from November to December) as well as the weight of Christmas lights on the big tree over time necessitated some re-thinking. New events were held at the Lions Club including all day activities and a tree-decorating contest.

Central Frontenac Council has decided to try internet/telephone voting for the 2014 municipal election. CAO/Clerk Larry Donaldson presented Council with several options, including the status quo paper ballot and mail-in system at the regular meeting in Sharbot Lake. Many neighbouring municipalities have already gone the all-electronic route for election night. South Frontenac, Tay Valley and Addington Highlands Townships have had the service for two elections and will continue with it for 2014. North Frontenac Township has also decided to go electronic this time around.

Places to explore and things to experience

Love in all its flawed glory Last week, I was sitting in a room talking with some people about Christmas movies. No one had seen Love Actually. Internal stunned silence on my part. Later, in another setting, I was chatting with several people who hailed it as their favorite Christmas flick. To me, it’s a classic, Christmas or otherwise. If I’m in a melancholic mood in July, I’ll put this on to lift my spirits. It’s a must-watch Christmas classic in our home, always saved for an evening close to Christmas or the end/beginning of the year. Love Actually marked the directorial debut of Richard Curtis, who also wrote the screenplay. His most recent work was the 2013 romantic comedy About Time. Previous writing credits include films like Notting Hill and Four Weddings and Funeral. Love isn’t always pretty. Sometimes it’s rather raw. Likewise, this movie is full of imperfection. Therein lies its beauty. It’s an exploration of love in all its splendor, glory, messiness and vulnerability. It struck a chord somewhere. On a $45 million budget it had a return of $250 million at the box office.

Christmas is like an incidental background character in Love Actually. It’s not a story about Christmas. It’s about love, in its many forms: The love that grows between two people who don’t speak the same language. Instead, their love grows based on one another’s actions and behavior; The love Sarah (Laura Linney) has as sister and caregiver for her mentally disturbed brother who is hospitalized in a psychiatric ward. Sarah lets her own potential relationship with a man flounder so she can be with her brother on Christmas Eve; The puppy love of a young boy, nurtured by his stepfather who grieves the loss of his wife. Kam Williams, writing in Princeton’s Kam’s Kapsules, noted that Love Actually is nuttier than Notting Hill and even more intricate than Four Weddings and a Funeral. “My only regrets are that Richard Curtis waited so long to make his first movie and that I’m only allowed to award this moving comic masterpiece four stars,” said Williams. Before going further, I have to note a caution: this movie is absolutely not

appropriate for children or young teens. Love Actually is R-rated for mature themes, graphic sexuality and profane language. However, none of it feels gratuitous. But if nudity or the language of the street bother you in any way, be forewarned. Not everyone shares my appreciation of the movie. It was panned by many critics, but that only proved to me that most critics are cranky insensitive old dudes lacking love in their own lives. There’s an innocence about much of this flick, despite wrongdoings like infidelity lurking in many dark corners. The movie opens with the voice of Hugh Grant, who turns out to be the Prime Minister of England, over images of arrivals at Heathrow Airport. “Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there: fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge; they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.” Early in the movie, we move to a domestic scene: a mom, Karen (Emma Thompson), talks to her daughter, Daisy (Lulu Popplewell), in the kitchen. Mom: So what’s this big news, then? Daisy: [excited] We’ve been given our parts in the Nativity play. And I’m the lobster. Karen: The lobster? Daisy: Yeah! Karen: In the Nativity play? Daisy: [beaming] Yeah, *first* lobster. Karen: There was more than one lob-

don’t expecting to you be as foolish as me and of courses....but it’s Christmas and I just wanted to check.” Aurelia, in English: “Thank you, that will be nice. Yes is being my answer. Easy question. Yes, of course. Jamie: “You learned English.” Aurelia: “Just in cases.” Another highlight is actor Bill Nighy, who plays Billy Mack, an ex-heroin addict/rock star making a comeback with a sappy Christmas song. After his song reaches number one on the charts, Billy Mack is wrapped up in a whirlwind that includes a party at the home of Elton John. It doesn’t take long for him to realize that the person he’s closest to and who has been his support is his manager Joe, played by Gregor Fisher. Billy leaves the party and goes to Joe’s house to spend Christmas with him. Despite the rawness, another touching scene is a discussion between Daniel and stepson Sam about telling someone you love her. Daniel: Sam, you’ve got nothin’ to lose, and you’ll always regret it if you don’t! I never told your mom enough. I should have told her every day because she was perfect every day. You’ve seen the films, kiddo. It ain’t over ‘til its over. Sam: Okay, Dad. Let’s do it. Let’s go get the s**t kicked out of us by love. The movie ends back at Heathrow Airport a month after Christmas, with several of the characters reuniting. There are also hundreds of others, full or love and hugs, greeting one another. After watching the movie, make sure to check out the deleted scenes. There are some hilarious zingers in there. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin

ster present at the birth of Jesus? Daisy: Duh. From that point, we know that silliness will be an essential component of this story. With its theme of love in all its confusing, betraying, endearing, innocent, unrequited, pure and impure forms, Love Actually explores struggles in relationships. Intimacy, lust, playfulness, tenderness and unselfish devotion are all present. The cast is superb. Liam Neeson plays the widowed stepfather Daniel, whose stepson Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) pines over a love interest. Hugh Grant is Prime Minister of Britain. Billy Bob Thornton is the bullying President of the USA. Martin Freeman–you know, Bilbo Baggins–is a shy porn actor. Emma Thompson plays Karen, the wife of adulterous Alan Rickman. You’ll also see Claudia Schiffer and Rowan Atkinson (seriously). The highlight and most beautiful love in the film is that which blossoms between English-speaking Jamie (Colin Firth) and Portuguese-speaking Aurelia (Lucia Moniz). After Jamie is stilted by his girlfriend who was having an affair with his brother, Jamie, a writer, heads to a summer rental home in Portugal to complete his novel. Aurelia is hired as the housekeeper. Some shared silly experiences and a near-disastrous loss of Jamie’s novel builds an intimacy between them, despite the lack of shared language. The nine stories build to a wild denouement. In the Jamie/Aurelia vignette, after returning to England, Jamie takes Portuguese language classes. Unknown to him, Aurelia studies English. At Christmas, Jamie flies from London to Portugal and, after, of course, chaos, finds Aurelia in her waitress job in a restaurant. There, he proposes in front of most of the village. Jamie speaks in Portuguese as English subtitles appear on the screen: “Beautiful Aurela, I’ve come here with a view to asking you to marriage me. I know I seems an insane person because I hardly know you, but sometimes things are so transparency they don’t need evidential proof. And I will inhabit here or you can inhabit with me in England.

Blue Canoe Productions presents classic broadway musical ‘Nine’ By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage Entertainment - On the brink of producing a very large, expensive film that has been greatly talked up, Italian filmmaker Guido Contini is facing a midlife crisis that is blocking his creativity. Struggling to put his career back together, Guido turns to the many women in his life, and examines his diverse relationships with them in an attempt to spark his creativity. This is the context for the musical Nine, and Federico Fellini’s film 8 ½, on which it is based. “[Guido] is a definite extrovert,” says actor Alex Oliver, who plays the lead role in Blue Canoe’s production of Nine, which runs Jan. 8 – 25 at the Baby Grand Theatre. “He gets all of his energy from other people. And I think he really likes the attention that females will give him. He has the opportunity to grant them the opportunities that they want in order to get into the [film] industry.” Oliver notes that audiences might be familiar with the 2009 film version of Nine starring Daniel Day Lewis and Fergie, however he says that the actual stage musical is quite different, particularly for his role. “There’s more acting time than there is singing time in the movie while in the musical feels like most of it is singing,” he says. “In the film they cut out a lot of Guido’s songs, and a lot of songs in general. I think he only sings about two big ones in

the movie but he has a lot more in this.” “The movie didn’t really do it justice,” agrees Tara Wink, who plays the role of Sarraghina, one of the nine women who influence Guido. “When I saw the film, it didn’t really stick in my head…I didn’t remember the songs after hearing it. But then in the summer I heard [Blue Canoe] was doing the show, so I researched it and looked it up on YouTube and I thought wow this music’s really good, why have I never heard of this?” Blue Canoe’s Nine has two directors: Bridget Gilhooly and Sean McCabe. “Bridg and I have been friends for a few years now,” says McCabe. “We’ve worked together on other shows and we know that we work really well together. I have a music background and she has a dance background, and so we just thought it would be really fitting to work together on a musical.” Despite their complementary specialties, McCabe and Gilhooly emphasize that they’ve both had a say in virtually all of the artistic decisions made in the production. “We run each rehearsal together so it’s been a very shared experience and we’re pretty happy for that,” Gilhooly notes. She explains that the cast calls for a 25-female chorus and they had to pare it down a little, but in the end they wound up with a very strong group of people. “For our first time [directing] we’re very humbled by the amount of people that just put so much effort and time into

Mayor Lowry has high hopes for Loyalist Township in the New Year By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@thehritageemc.ca

Heritage News – It has been an interesting year for Loyalist Township and Mayor Bill Lowry has been at the centre of it all. From debates over wind energy projects to the recent water issues, Lowry and his team have taken on problems as they arise and have persevered. In regards to the water issues, which left some residents without water for three days in early December due to loss of water pressure, Lowry explained that it was indeed a difficult time, but the township was prepared. “Fortunately, two weeks prior to the event taking place, we went through a mock version of our Emergency Action Plan, which we are legislated to do every two years from the province,” said Low-

ry. “So it was fresh in our minds what the action plan is and how we should initiate. The real surprise here was that we always pick something like hydro or gas or the rail line or some kind of a catastrophic event, never ever thinking of our own utilities.” While the lack of water forced some businesses to shut down and made things incredibly inconvenient for residents, the township got through it and Lowry has heard many positive responses. “All in all we got a lot of kudos. We got a lot of thank yous and a lot of good feedback from the community.” Another major issue facing Loyalist Township in 2013 was the renewable energy projects. There are currently seven projects proposed for the township and while there has been much resistance from residents, Lowry and Township

councilors have had little control over the proceedings. “We’ve had a lot of time spent by our staff on these projects and we’ve had a lot of emotions from the constituents because of the way they feel about these projects,” explained Lowry. “We’ve also had to deal with council having absolutely no power, which we have always had when it comes to municipal plans, but the Green Energy Act has totally wiped that out. We have become helpless and we know that. We have been to Ottawa many times and to Toronto as well for conferences and meetings and no matter what we plead the answer is no and we are basically told how things are going to proceed.” Of the seven projects, six of them have been given the green light. The last project is one of the bigger wind projects on Amherst Island, which was initiated more

than three years ago. Lowry hopes that all can be sorted out in the year to come. In the coming year, 2014, Lowry hopes to see Loyalist Township continue to grow both in terms of businesses and residents. There are many projects in the works and Lowry looks forward to seeing them come to fruition. “Prosperity and potential in Loyalist Township is fantastic. Our residential areas in the west side of Amherstview plus the new influx we have coming into the centre of our community in the old nunnery is quite exciting for us in terms of traffic for businesses. We’re going to have a few hundred homes being built over the next few years. We are finally taking off in terms of development after being stagnant for a few decades.” Also coming in 2014 is a municipal election and while Lowry has had some

doubts in the past, he plans on running for mayor once again. “Absolutely I plan to run,” said Lowry. “It seems like a long time, four years, but it takes a long time to get things going. That was probably my biggest shock was going through the learning curve of how much time it takes to get things done. I had some major changes in my life a year ago and I was trying to decide whether or not I was going to continue on, but now everything is getting back to normal and I am looking forward to the next election and throwing my hat in for the position of mayor.” Lowry hopes that he can continue to build Loyalist Township more and more and is excited to see how things go. “There are not many communities in Ontario that are sharing the growth that we are. We are way above average and that is really exciting to see.”

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Now may be the time to try something new, Aries. You are not one to shy away from anything, but right now you’re a bit apprehensive about things. Take a leap of faith. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, many people look to you as a leader, and they are wise to do so. You are especially trustworthy, and you will be asked to solve a few problems this week. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, there won’t be much time to enjoy recreational activities this week, so you may have to find a new way to let loose. Rest assured there will be more time for fun down the road. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, a new opportunity comes your way but you’re not quite sure if you’re ready for such drastic changes. Take your time before making a final decision. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, no matter how hard you try, some people just can’t see things from your point of view. Don’t take this personally, as everyone is entitled to their own opinions. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, sometimes it seems like you have all of the answers, while at other times, you might not know how to approach a situation. Take some time to analyze your approach. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Feeling homesick, Libra? If so, make some post-holiday plans to visit with friends or family you didn’t get a chance to see during the holidays. Enjoy this time spent with loved ones. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, you like to stay busy. But you sometimes feel overwhelmed with all that you have to do. Stop biting off more than you can chew and take things one task at a time. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, now is a good time to make resolutions and reconnect with distant friends. It is good to rekindle relationships and commit to spending more time with friends and family. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – After time away for the holidays, getting back into a routine can be challenging, Capricorn. But you like to stick to a schedule, and getting back on track is the way to do it. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, although you have many friends, you recently have only spent time with a select few. This week is a great time to reach out to those friends you haven’t seen in awhile. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Your competitive juices will be flowing this week, Pisces. Enjoy the competitive atmosphere but don’t take things too far.

the concept was well supported.” The weather, as to be expected, threatened to wreak havoc on the games last year. Despite some rain, the games went ahead with the refrigeration system at the Wolfe Island Community Centre keeping the NHL-sized ice surface playable. The wet weather didn’t dampen the spirit of the players, said goaltender Quentin Levesque. He backstopped the Bath Road Atom Rangers to victory. Levesque worried before the game about his pads getting waterlogged and being unable to slide across his crease. However, the conditions didn’t slow him down and “the ice was some of the best I have ever played on.” Levesque said his teammates knew how much the game meant to the Wolfe Island players on his team. The captain of the team relinquished the ‘C’ that day so that all four Wolfe Island players could wear a letter on their jersey while playing on their “home ice.” “What I enjoyed the most probably was seeing the Wolfe Island boys all holding up the trophy with happy faces,” he said. “When we scored a goal they would come back to tap my pads and they were going crazy and yelling.” Six games are planned this year, up from four last year. With enough players for two peewee teams this year, the four Wolfe Island boys from last year’s Bath Road Atom Rangers find themselves on different squads. Levesque hopes both Bath Road peewee teams emerge victorious and allow the Wolfe Island players to experience the same excitement as last year. The first faceoff is 11 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 5. The final game concludes at 6 p.m. The Bath Road Rangers will take on teams from Loyalist Township Minor Hockey Association and the Kingston and Area Minor Hockey Association. Various dignitaries will be on hand for the opening faceoff of each game.

The strom left hundreds of thousands without power across the province. Much of Kingston and area had intermittent power outages but local hudro crews worked day and night to get the power back on.
