AG’s report suggests “fix was in” for Thousand Islands Casino, MPP claims

Kingston Heritage - The Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG) hatched a secret plan to replace the Thousand Islands Casino with a new gambling facility in downtown Kingston by the winter of 2015, according to information in a report by Ontario’s Auditor General. But it appears the original proposal was scuttled when Kingston city council - unaware of the OLG’s game plan voted to exclude the downtown area from hosting a casino in the fall of 2012. Council did, however, endorse hosting a casino in another part of the city. The revelation that the OLG may have originally had its eye on bringing a gambling facility to downtown Kingston prompted a mixed response from local politicians. “I was shocked. It clearly showed that the province had pre-decided that there would be a casino not only in Kingston, but downtown,” said Coun. Rob Hutchison. He says the auditor’s report on casino modernization indicates that a casino was in the cards for Kingston in advance of council making a final decision on the matter. “The province already had this agenda outlined. People should be very skeptical about the process.” Mayor Mark Gerretsen says he was disappointed to hear news about the OLG’s behind-the-scenes plan for gambling in the Limestone City, but not surprised. “I don’t think it’s a big mystery to anybody. I mean, the OLG wants to be located in higher density areas.” He criticized the gambling corporation for not being up front about its intentions. “They’ve let all the infighting go on within the municipalities and I don’t think that’s fair. The OLG hatched a big plan in the beginning. They should have been up front about it and let the discussion be what they were really thinking.” In a news release, Leeds-Grenville Tory MPP Steve Clark questioned the fairness of the OLG’s casino location process. He accused the Liberal government of stacking the deck against the future of the Thousand Islands Casino. Clark supports keeping the region’s casino in Gananoque, and possibly expanding it under the modernization plan. “Even as the government was assuring me and local municipal officials from the Town of Gananoque and the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands that the process would be fair, they had already rigged the game to decide the outcome,” said Clark. A legislative committee asked Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk to review the OLG’s modernization plan, which involves bringing in private companies to own and operate casinos. Lysyk called the plan “overly ambitious.” She also criticized the gaming corporation over its lack of Approximately 600 high school athletes from across the region took part in the Limestone Leg- public consultation and the friction it has caused between muacy Invitational track and field meet at Caraco Field in Kingston last Friday.

Kingston celebrates inaugural First Responders Day
Emergency vehicles and first responders gathered outside of City Hall on May 1 to celebrate the inaugural First Responders Day in Ontario. mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage News – If you passed by Confederation Park on the morning of May 1, you may have wondered what was going on at City Hall – nearly a dozen fire trucks, ambulances and police cars were parked outside the building with their lights flashing. Luckily, it wasn’t an emergency, it was an event of celebration and recognition. Back in December, right around the time of the Princess Street fire, legislation was passed at Queen’s Park to declare May 1 First Responders Day in Ontario. In honour of this day, media, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, community members and Deputy Mayor Jim Neill gathered to recognize all of the volunteers and professionals that serve Kingston each day. “Any of you who follow politics know that things in the legislature very
seldom are unanimous, but the proclamation to declare this day as an annual event passed unanimously,” explained Neill. “I think this a great recognition for these services and it resonates especially here in Kingston because of the recent events. It was a sad way to put us on the map but we can take great pride in how our first responders performed.” Neill is councillor for the Williamsville District, where the December fire took place. He acknowledged that many of those being recognized worked long hours and dedicated a lot of time and energy to helping others on the days and weeks that followed the fire, making it even more appropriate to be thanking our first responders now. For clarification, first responders are those men and women who, in the early stages of an emergency, are responsible for the protection and pres-
ervation of life, property, evidence and the environment. They include police officers, firefighters, military personnel, paramedics, medical evacuation pilots, dispatchers, nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians and emergency managers. For the first responders in attendance on May 1, the day was really about being thankful for the recognition, something that is sometimes lacking in their jobs. “I think for everyone here, this day means that we can get together as emergency responders and be appreciated by the community,” said Steven Koopman, constable and media relations officer for the Kingston Police Department. “We realize that this is our job and our profession and we’re not asking for any special attention, but at the same time it is great to know that the province wants to recognize us.” Debbie Cooper, a Paramedic with
Frontenac Paramedic Services, saw the day as a much needed recognition for herself and her co-workers, who often don’t spend that much time with patients and therefore don’t generally receive as much recognition as other first responders. “Paramedics don’t have as much face time as police and fire do. We are in and out in most situations and nobody gets to see our faces and our influence in the same way, so we really appreciate this public attention,” added Cooper. “We are hoping that this day leads to even more recognition at the federal and provincial level, too. Having our faces out there and having people recognizing us is great.” Cooper also pointed out that paramedics only interact with a small percentage of the population, and while those people almost always say thank you and are extremely appreciative, the interaction is most likely due to
a negative or traumatic event. First Responders Day allows her and her fellow paramedics an opportunity to interact with the community in a positive environment and also allows them to meet a larger number of people. Also prevalent at the event was a sense of community and interconnectedness, something that Koopman saw a great deal of after the fire. “The recent events in Kingston just showed how we can all come together and sometimes you see a fracture between community responders, but here in Kingston we have a real cohesion between all services and that is so great to see. We really appreciate each other and that is so important. We are happy to be celebrating the inaugural day out here in front of the public and the media and we are hoping that more people come out in coming years.” R0012685848

Developer proposes 18 storey high-rise apartment beside the Cat Centre By Bill Hutchins Reporter

2014: I am Ready. We are Ready.
Kingston Heritage – A developer has unveiled plans to build one of west Kingston’s tallest apartment buildings, located a stone’s throw from the Cataraqui Centre. The proposed 18 storey building would be located on the site of a former gas station at 845 Gardiners Road bordering Lions Civic Gardens. The building would have 167 units consisting of 49 one-bedrooms and 118 two-bedrooms, plus balconies, a roof top terrace, amenity space and 206 parking spaces that are mostly underground. The land is currently designated for commercial uses, and the developer will need various zoning changes to allow the residential high-rise to proceed. “The applicant is requesting zoning relief from minimum lot area requirement, yard setbacks and restrictions, maximum height, parking restrictions, minimum driveway width and accessory building restrictions,” according to a May 1 report to the planning committee. The proposal will first be the focus of a public meeting before city planners make a recommendation on how to proceed with the application. The 56-metre tall building would be nearly double the 30-metre maximum height for the area. But the developer, Kingston-based CJM Property Management, says the high-rise would be a good fit for the area and it complies with the city’s policy of urban intensification. CJM manages several apartments in the Kingston area, including the Sutton Mills building that’s also near the Cataraqui Centre. The company’s latest project is on a 0.88-hectare triangular lot that was decommissioned as a gas station and car wash about five years ago and all buildings were removed from the site. An urban design study by FOTENN Consultants looked at the impact of the proposed apartment building on factors such as parking, traffic, noise, existing water-sewer services and storm water management. The study concludes

The OLG wants to choose one company to oversee day-to-day casino operations in three locations: Peterborough, Belleville/ Quinte and Kingston/Gananoque.

Even though city councillors voted 7-5 to support the idea “in principle,” they recently decided to put the casino question to voters in a referendum in this fall’s municipal election.

the building would not have an adverse impact on the area. The site has 113 metres of frontage along Gardiners Road with two access points. No traffic lights or additional turning lanes are proposed as “present traffic volumes on Gardiners Road will not change significantly as a result of the proposed development,” according to the study. The high density building would be set back from the road and oriented on an angle, along with more landscaping features, to reduce its visual impact. The building is also close to major shopping and public transit hubs offering easy access for tenants, according to the study. “The design is consistent with other similar apartment buildings in the area while adding attractive architecture and landscaping, which will improve the appearance of the site and streetscape along Gardiners Road,” the developer’s report concluded. However, not everyone favours a high rise along busy Gardiners Road next door to the region’s largest shopping mall. Some believe it will add to the area’s traffic congestion. “I believe that a high density residential complex at that location is going to worsen the traffic congestion on Gardiners Road, especially at busy times such as December, when it is not uncommon to have traffic backed up to the south past Taylor-Kidd Boulevard,” said area resident Mark Pizzinato, in a letter of objection to the planning department. Others say they have no objection to a new commercial use on the site, but the amount of residential zoning changes sought by the developer is an indication the building doesn’t fit on the lot. “Cannot believe that this proposal is even being considered. I reside in the area and it is dangerous to get around even now,” said resident Joan Williams. But, as the developer points out, the city is also promoting infill and intensification to meet future housing needs. Politicians on the planning committee have yet to weigh in on the suitability of the Gardiners Road high-rise.

In Our Opinion
Time to celebrate mom
Why baseball and Facebook don’t mix
Heritage Editorial - It’s May, and that means it’s time to celebrate Moms everywhere. Ever wondered where tradition of Mother’s Day come from? North American Mother’s Day dates back to 1914, but the origins of the day of celebration go back even further. Examples of Mother’s Day type traditions can be seen in the ancient Greek and Roman era, and in the UK where they celebrated Mothering Sunday dating back to the 1600s. North American Mother’s Day came about through the work of two women – Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis. Howe was an activist and poet and in 1870 she took to the streets in Boston with her proclamation for peace and a day that celebrated both peace and mothers. Howe’s day took place in June and she worked tirelessly to make it catch on, but sadly the tradition faded. Luckily, Anna Jarvis had a similar idea, inspired by her own mother. Jarvis started up another Mother’s Day in 1905 to honour her mother after she passed away. Jarvis sent carnations to a church service in Grafton, West Virginia to honor her mother. Carnations were her mother’s favorite flower and she felt that they symbolized a mother’s pure love. Soon after, Jarvis and her supporters wrote letters to people in positions of power lobbying for the official declaration of the Mother’s Day holiday. The hard work paid off. By 1911, Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state in the Union and on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Today, the festival is celebrated on many different dates in 46 countries around the world. People take the day as an opportunity to pay tribute to their mothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, stepmothers, aunts and any other motherly figures and thank them for all their love and support. The day has become hugely popular and in several countries phone lines witness maximum traffic. While the day, like many holidays, has become extremely commercialized, it is still very important to remember how it came about and the meaning behind it. So make sure you give your mom the attention she deserves this coming Sunday.

By Bill Hutchins Reporter
Kingston Heritage Editorial – Kingston drivers are among the worst in Ontario. That’s a comment you often hear from pedestrians, cyclists and fellow motorists who get fed up with the sudden lane changers, speeders, slow pokes, tailgaters and those oblivious drivers who just keep cruising through an intersection after the light has already turned red without a care in the world. It’s enough to drive you crazy, isn’t it? But Kingston has a plan to make some motorists pay for running red lights, and they won’t even know they’ve committed a violation until a $325 ticket arrives in the mail. Such is the automated justice behind red light cameras. But are these cameras being set up to promote traffic safety or is it a municipal money grab? Mayor Mark Gerretsen supports the latter argument and wants no part of red light cameras, which are due to debut at 10 selected intersections around Kingston in 2017. “That’s exactly what I heard from people and I don’t think it’s necessary,� he said of the cash grab theory. The extra revenue is certainly tempting for the city. Based on business case estimates, the cost to install and operate cameras at 10 local intersections is $520,000 a year. But with a conservative estimate of $970,000 in fine revenues (based on 20 per cent of the actual $4.8 million revenue projections) the program is still expected to generate a profit of about $450,000 annually. That’s $450,000 for the city to spend on traffic calming, road repairs, integrity commissioner, whatever it wants. The profits may not be sustainable, however, once motorists clue in to which intersections have the cameras and improve their driving behaviour. That leads us to the other side of this coin – the reason why council voted 10-3 in March to go down the red light camera road as a handful of other municipalities have done – to improve traffic safety.
The same report found red light cameras could reduce the more serious T-Bone accidents at intersections by 25 per cent, and could also lead to a 15 per cent rise in rear-end collisions as more drivers brake at amber lights to avoid a potential ticket. But statistics show rear-end crashes are less lethal. The city is now in a two-year-long implementation phase to have polemounted cameras keep watch over certain lanes at selected intersections. They’re designed to take a picture of a car’s licence plate the moment it enters the crossroads after the light switches from amber to red. But the system is not fool-proof. Poor weather, dirty plates and outof-province drivers would likely exempt red light runners. Also, the ticket will be sent to the vehicle’s registered owner, not necessarily the person who was driving when the provincial offence was committed. Honest dad, it wasn’t me! In a city where the car is still king (even Kingston Transit drivers could get a red light ticket), these eyes in the sky are one way to have the proverbial ‘cop on every corner.’ But should we allow this type of technology to usurp the role of ‘real’ cops handing out tickets because, quite often, running a red light also means the same driver could be speeding, tailgating and committing other infractions that cameras won’t catch. Automated camera tickets also negate the possibility of lost demerit points, and the possible suspension of someone’s licence. That can only happen if a police officer is directly involved. On the flip side, red light cameras are not designed to be lenient. Have you ever gone through an amber-to-red light change rather than risk a sudden braking on ice or snow covered roads because it’s the safer thing to do on a split-second decision? The underlying question is: Will red light cameras actually improve driver behaviour? The city must be vigilant to study intersection accidents – before and after red light cameras are introduced – to determine if they are actually making our roads safer, or municipal budgets richer.

This Bird Brain is intelligent on the story by Albert Wendt, combined with a strong cast and top notch directing brings the quality we expect from this professional company, which tours the show throughout Ontario. Following a scorching production of John Logan’s Red, about artist Mark Rothko, director Charlotte Gowdy has
crafted a play that appeals to children, while keeping adults entertained. Too many times, companies try to This year’s Thousand Islands Playreduce children’s theatre to what they house Young Company production, think is the lowest common denominaBird Brain, is a fun romp for children tor, thus dumbing down what should and adults. But beneath the surface lie remain an intelligent art form. Not so some serious positive messages. with this fable about being different. It A good script by Vern Thiessen, based maintains its intelligence and wit. In Bird Brain, a woodcutter lives in Hat Street, a place burdened with arbitrary rules and regulations housed in a monster-sized book. The man finds a nest of cold baby birds and gives them shelter under his hat. Rather than abide by hat rules, he refuses to ever remove his hat for fear of hurting the birds. Everyone’s against his social uniqueness. He runs into legal trouble for his choices and could suffer a severe penalty. This comic play is about choices we make. The woodcutter chooses to do what is right rather than follow laws and social norms. But, like in life, there is a price to pay for doing what is morally right. Bird Brain offers a wonderful way to encourage discussion about kindness, diversity, critical thinking and courage. Charlotte Gowdy understands children. In a discussion with the actors after the play she noted: “Children are really smart; you have to stay one step ahead of them. If you From left, Alexandra Montagnese, Luke Brown and Dylan On in the Thou- undermine them and think they are sand Islands Playhouse Young Company production of Bird Brain at First dumb, you are going to lose them.” Jan Le Clair, principal of First AvAvenue Elementary School last week.

enue Public School in Kingston, said she invites the Young Company to her school for a number of reasons. “Theatre helps students think outside the box and it captivates the audience,” she said. “You can’t shut theatre out when it’s happening in front of you. It lets kids try on new hats and think about ‘who am I?’ A creative outlet is a very important thing.” She explained that the school has an anti-bullying program that is role-play and story based. “This kind of theatre fits right in. It really gives the kids a chance to access parts of themselves in a playground situation but in a theatrical dramatic role. And it’s a safe, controlled situation to rehearse social role playing and problem solving in a theatre and drama class.” She noted that the play’s celebration of diversity and compassion are consistent with the school’s philosophy. “The arts have the power to heal. Theatre, art and all creative processes give a voice to something a child might not be able to express. It involves selfexploration and healing.” Gowdy said she loves the play because it has a great message but doesn’t preach. “The important thing about doing theatre for kids, and for everyone, is that you’re offering a forum where it’s okay to feel,” she said. “So often we’re
in situations, for example at a bank, where we’re not allowed to feel anything. So kids come to the theatre and we tell them you’re allowed to feel. We want you to feel the joy, the pain, the human connection.” She also noted that there is a subversive side to this particular play. “The subversiveness is in the encouragement to be critical thinkers,” she said. “The woodcutter follows his heart instead of the rules. The audience gets quite involved. We cheer for the fools instead of locking them up.” “The play talks about universal themes,” said actor Alexandra Montagnese. “These are things kids really indentify with. The Montreal actor said this is her first time appearing in a children’s show. She said theatre is a positive experience for children. “They’re not asked to look at a screen on their own,” she said. “They’re asked to witness a performance with one another and to work with us in that space.” Dylan On, a Queen’s University drama student, added that it’s not like watching a 3-D movie. “Theatre is more authentic,” he said. “There’s something about seeing that little birds nest that is more authentic. It helps provide a space for kids to enjoy their imagination.” “Theatre is a reflection of life,” added
Luke Brown, who plays the woodcutter. “It’s important to take time to witness the human condition on stage while other people tell the story. There’s something really magical that happens when someone tells a story. Children connect to it. In Bird Brain, during the journey, I’m going through such hard times, but I come out on top in the end.” The cast members each have extensive stage experience and work well as a complementary team. “This show had an extra little zest,” said Le Clair. “You could just feel their energy. This production was good for a variety of reasons: We talk a lot at this school about setting goals for oneself, and why we learn what we learn at school. It’s good to show kids that they could do this for a living....Having things like this gives them some extra things to enjoy. This helps keep them focused and creative. It gives them some really enriched learning moments.” In the Q & A session after the play, the children’s attention was obvious. There was silence as they asked questions and the actors answered. An actor’s finger pointed toward a girl in a grey shirt. “You, in the grey shirt.” She looked down to see what color she was wearing before asking her question. “Who wrote the play?” she asked, and got her answer, learning that the playwright is a Governor General’s Award-winning Canadian writer who now lives in New York City. The boy in a red shirt asked, “Why do you dress like that.” Montagnese answered. “This is called a costume. It means that where we exist when acting in a play is our world. It’s someone’s job at the Playhouse to make all of these costumes. She took our measurements, even how long our arms are and made all the clothes with a sewing machine.”
Girl in blue: “How do you get dressed so fast when you change?” Montagnese : “That takes lots of practice. The way the costumes are made, I can snap off a coat and whip on a skirt. The skirts wraps around and ties. There are lots of little tricks to make the transitions fast.” “It’s a whole other show backstage,” adds Brown. No one’s dumbing down their answers. There were lots of what Principal Jan Le Clair calls teachable moments. To book a performance for your school, contact Andrew Geekie at 613382-7086 x 24.

Joyceville Public School receives generous grants to enhance their music program By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage News – For Dawn Diamond, music programs have always been very important. Just over a year ago, Diamond, a Grade 4/5 teacher at Joyceville Public School, approached her principal about starting a band at the school. The school had never had a band or an extended music program, but luckily for Diamond, principal Scott Morency agreed. Following this decision, Morency requested a grant from the Parent Council to rent instruments for the students to play. The school received $3,000 for rentals and Diamond started planning immediately. “We have a Grade 6/7 class and a 7/8 class and for them we offered a choice they could go with me for concert band which includes flute, clarinet, trumpets saxophones etc or they could go with our other teacher, Mr. Cahill who is a local musician and he could teach them rock band stuff,” explained Diamond. “It ended up with me having about 28 students and he has about 12 or 15, which is perfect because the concert band needs larger numbers. We piloted the program and it has been working really well so I decided to apply for a few grants that would allow us to have our very own instruments in the school.” Diamond never imagined the results from the grants would be so fantastic. The Joyceville Jayhawks received a $22,000 grant from the Pittsburgh Community Fund to purchase 30 new instruments for
the students. As if that wasn’t enough, the school also received a $10,000 donation from the Limestone Learning Foundation and the estate of Larry Gibson, which will be used to purchase even more instruments and materials. “These grants mean that every student that goes from Kindergarten to Grade 8 at this school will have the opportunity to play a musical instrument for three years in Grades 6 to 8, and that is fantastic,” said Diamond. “The students haven’t gotten the full gist of what is happening and I don’t think they will until they see all of the instruments. I am hoping that when they see them coming out they will get more excited and I’m sure I will too.” Students at the school have already fully embraced their band programs and even played their first concert a few weeks ago at the Pittsburgh Community Fund annual meeting. “They were very off the wall for the first couple of months but for their first concert they were great. They had a purpose and a goal they worked towards and it went really well. Now they all want to know when the next concert is. They want to play at the country fair at the end of May and they want to play for the parents and they are so excited to show off their new musical talents.” For Diamond, that really is the most rewarding part and she looks forward to expanding the music program at Joyceville even more in the years to come. She knows that she is also helping expand the music program at La

future. “I am so excited to see all of this happening especially in a really small school like ours. We have a lot going on
here and we really wanted to publically thank the Pittsburgh Community Fund and the estate of Larry Gibson for these amazing opportunities.”

Kingston Makerspace invites community members to come create together By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage News –For many people, the idea of creating their own household items or repairing a broken item around the house can be a bit overwhelming, but what if you could go somewhere and people helped you to make and repair these items? The only thing you would have to do in return is share some of your skills and maybe some of your tools. This is the concept behind Kingston Makerspace. “In a nutshell, Makerspace is a community workshop where
people come in to use communal tools that we all sort of collectively buy into with a membership, explained group founder Ryan D’eon. “People also come to share expertise and skills with others. On any given night you can have someone who knows about metal working, someone who knows about wood working and someone who knows a bit about programming and they bring all of those skills together and learn from each other.” The group started in Kingston back in November, but the concept of Makerspace groups has existed in other cities for a while. For
group member Adrienne Montgomerie, it’s really about creating and being able to become self reliant in terms of home projects. “I have a science background and I edit science textbooks, but I grew up without a handyman in the house and I felt that those skills were lacking for both me and now for my children too. I wanted a space where we could learn new skills and come together with others. The Makerspace helps us learn new skills and really teaches us to become self-reliant and that feeling is fantastic.” So far the group has almost 50 paying members and they are
Find Us On
The space also allows people to come work on projects that they may not have room for in their own homes. Montgomerie said that they are working on having the space open more and more as membership increases. For now, she just encourages people to come check it out and enjoy the space. “The main reason I would encourage people to come out is to have access to a community and other people who can help you use different tools and combine collective knowledge. You can learn valuable skills and maybe teach others valuable skills in the process and who doesn’t want that?” For more information on Kingston Makerspace and how to join visit their website at www. kingstonmakerspace.ca or look for them on Facebook.
receiving more and more interest from social media daily. They have projects in their space that have been created by their very own 3D printer and they even have a wired up door lock that is controlled by RFID tags for members. As their membership expands, so do the projects and different theme nights. Workshops originate out of interest from different members and their skill sets. “Our theme nights are growing and changing all the time. We do nights on micro controlling, coding and sewing and then on Wednesday nights we have an open house where people can come in and work on whatever they want. We also run some specialty programs on things like software security, bronzing and metalworking. The possibilities are really endless at this point,” added Montgomerie.

Other than that, it has a lot to do with studying the other team and their court. “I would say definitely spot the holes on the other court and aim for there,” Isabelle says. “And you have to spot the other team’s weaknesses.” As of press time, the results of the OFSAA tournament had not been determined, but the students and coaches were looking forward to a fun experience in Markham and a different kind of tournament experience than they had at KASSAA and EOSSAA. “EOSSAA’s a very tough tournament,” Saunders said. “To win you have to play seven matches. And then when we go to OFSSAA everything slows down and they might play one or two matches a day and then there’s a banquet and stuff like that.

Kingston FC hoping for another successful season mmarciniak@thehritageemc.ca
Heritage Sports – Whether you call it football or soccer, it’s back. The Kingston FC, now celebrating their third year in the Limestone City is back and ready for a winning season. After a rough first season and a very successful second season, the football club, which is part of the Canadian Soccer League (CSL), is hoping to keep the momentum going. “Our first season was a bit tough and we only won five out of 22 games, but in our second season we had a huge turn around,” explained Lorne Abugov, Majority Owner and Chairman of the team. “This year we have recruited a really strong group of players for both our First Division team and our Reserve Di-
vision team, so we are pretty excited about the season and we are really excited to get started.” New to the Kingston FC team this year are a number of international players, including 22-yearold Fergus Neil who recently arrived from New Zealand. Neil is excited to be part of a team with such great potential and hopes to see that translate into experience and wins. “I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more experience and see what it’s like in Canada. I had never been here before, but I like it so far,” said Neil. “I really like the style of soccer that we are going to be playing… I think the football is going to be at a high standard and that’s really exciting for me.” Also new to the team this year
is German player Bryan Kommerowski, who is happy to be back playing football and excited to take on his own personal goal of winning every game this season. “For me it is better to play soccer than anything else so I was really excited to get this opportunity,” said Kommerowski. “I think it is a good league and it has really high standards and is very professional. The facilities here are also great and the team is awesome and I am trying my best to fit in.” While there are many players from around the world on the team this year, Abugov also points out that there are many Canadian players too, including a few local players. “It’s really great to have that mixture. We try to mix international professionals with Canadian
university varsity players and give them their first opportunity to play professional soccer and then we also, as sort of out third pillar of standards, bring in local players too,” explained Abugov. The team plays its first game on May 25, but their home opener is scheduled for May 31 at the Queen’s West Campus field. All of the nine home games this season are on a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon and Abugov encourages families to come check out the games. “The price is great and you get two games for the cost, both the Reserve team and the First Division team,” added Abugov. “We are certainly the best soccer team this city has ever seen and last season we won 12 of our 13 games at home. It is a great sport that is
growing and these guys are unbelievable soccer players. It is a good team we are building here and we are really proud of it.” Abugov is also looking for some community feedback this year in terms of creating a middle name for the team. “We are the Kingston FC but it may be time to add in a middle name there, for instance we have the Montreal Impact FC or Vancouver Whitecaps FC. We’d like to add something to our name that represents Kingston and inspires the players. If fans and readers want to come up with some ideas, that would be great. We’d love the feedback and the input.” For a full schedule of games and to give your suggestions on a middle name for the team, visit www. kingstonfc.ca

What’s old is new again: Stone City Ales brings craft beer to Kingston By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Nineteenth century Kingston could be described as a sudsy utopia. The city played host to up to four breweries at one time (and seven in total over the course of the century), with everybody from the lowest chimney sweeps to the top political brass imbibing locallybrewed beer and whiskey. Through his new craft brewery, Stone City Ales, Ron Shore hopes to reclaim a part of this past, while at the same time embracing the new craft beer movement that’s sweeping across North America. “Kingston was long overdue for this”, he says, explaining the idea of opening up a craft brewery had been in his head for quite some time, but didn’t really seem like something that could become a reality until he lost his longtime job in the healthcare field quite suddenly last year. “When I lost my job at three days notice it took me a little while to lick my wounds and then I thought, ‘this is my opportunity’. And it’s been really good. From a business model perspective it was such a big open market, and we knew that there was a thirst for it and a really strong demographic in Kingston between the students and the downtown professionals and the increasing number of women drinking beer because of craft beer.” Along with business partners Eric and Rebecca Dinelle, Shore will open Stone City Ales at 275 Princess St. this July. In tribute to the return, of sorts, to Kingston’s brewing tradition, name of the business is intended to be both a nod to the past and a look to the future.
“We’re returning to the tradition of local brewers and lots of different recipes,” says Shore, noting that the craft beer movement is a conscious step away from the big, mass-produced brands that have been mainstays in Canadian coolers for decades. “I didn’t want another ‘Limestone City’ business. I didn’t want another ‘First Capitol’. We wanted to send the message that the brewery is a different kind of business. One of our missions is to [bridge the economic and cultural divides in Kingston]. Craft beer brings people together because the demographics are so diverse. That’s what we need.” Shore adds that these days, “people like knowing how and where something is made,” and as such customers at the brewery will be able to witness their beer being brewed through glass walls. “You will see how this beer is made, for better or worse,” he laughs, noting that it can be quite a messy process. The brewery will also include a tap room, where customers can drink beer and order meals made with food sourced from local farmers. People will also be able to purchase beer in reusable bottles and growlers. Of course, the beer itself is the star of the show. To make sure he got the recipes just right, Shore hired Justin daSilva, who comes from Beyond the Pale craft brewery in Ottawa. “He’s a very skilled craft brewer and be brings a lot of really neat ideas. When I met him he said, ‘I want us to make beer that stands out not just in Kingston, but anywhere’.” Stone City will start out with four different styles of beer, each with its own logo and branding: a stout called
Ron Shore enjoys a “Ships in the Night” stout. “Ships in the Night”; a pale ale called “12 Stars Session Ale” (a reference to the 12 stars that still grace the old Kingston Brewery building on Wellington Street); an IPA called “Uncharted”; and a Belgian wheat beer called “Whitecaps” (in tribute to Lake Ontario on a windy day). “People will be able to buy t-shirts with the logos on them,” Shore says. “They’ll have nice graphics. A large part of craft beer is people love the
Photo/Hollie Pratt-Campbell
merchandise. People connect with it and it’s more than the beer. It’s the whole identification with what it signifies.” He remarks that he’s already been overwhelmed by the community’s response to and support for the brewery. “I think that the overwhelming attraction is that it’s a connection to something real and simple,” he says, adding that “Kingston, for better or for worse, has a reputation of being fairly
conservative. People new to Kingston have a hard time fitting in and feeling accepted and I think that needs to change. There’s a whole bunch of local food and local craft people who are beginning to change all of that and we want to be part of this larger movement.” To learn more, find Stone City Ales on Twitter at @StoneCityAles, like them on Facebook and visit www. stonecityales.com.

There really is something about a lighthouse By Margaret Knott Correspondent
the group’s business plan and recommending that we take a serious look at it because, in his opinion it would cost the township $20,000 a year to keep the lighthouse going, and possible environmental issues.

Simcoe Island’s Yelda Miedema, from the Preservation committee, said he is aware of the May 2015 deadline when decisions will be made on preservation of selected lighthouses noting two business plans for the lighthouse.” Ours was not considered satisfactory by the Heritage committee because it does not state that the township would be the principal owner,” he Nine Mile Point Lighthouse on Simcoe Island said. “We are incorporating as a charitable organization so we can day, May 12, 2014 at 6:30 pm . ship, wish to thank the volunteers raise funds.

EMC new- ” Prince Edward County’s Marc Seguin , a founding member of the Organization “Save our Lighthouses” has had a life long interest in Canadian history and has a passion for Canada’s built heritage. “ Thank you for the opportunity to speak about the fascinating past, but the uncertain future of lighthouses in this area of Lake Ontario,” he said at a gathering of the Wolfe Island Historical Society. The Township of Frontenac Islands- Simcoe Island is home to the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse. In his presentation Marc said the Main Duck Island Lighthouse, built in 1914 was the last of 40 built on Lake Ontario. “This was perhaps the greatest concentration of lighthouses constructed anywhere in the world, and each of them has a story to tell in our history, about who we are and where we have been,” he said. “Now there are only seven and many of these are threatened.” He pointed out architectural differences, and types of construction, (height, octagonal, number of lamps, cement, wood, steel plate etc.) of the lighthouses built in the 1800- 1900’s as well as the many variables and dangers to the navigation of Lake Ontario including a lack of charts, and magnetic compass problems. Seguin noted that these lighthouses played a key role in the history of Canada at a time when transportation by water was vital
for the economy, long term growth and survival of the country. Now, however, with modern equipment and modern navigation technology, “lighthouses have been relegated to a back up position at best,” he said. He presented a fascinating history of the many lighthouses that stretched from Kingston Harbour to Presqu’ile Point, why they were built, about the perils of ships guided by them, and why their lights were so important to Canada then, to what they have been replaced with now. In the final period of his presentation, Seguin focused on the last lighthouses, those declared surplus, or of heritage value and Simcoe Island’s 40 foot, Nile Mile Point Light House (built in 1833), and their preservation. “Parks Canada has no intention of acquiring anymore lighthouses,” he quoted from them. With regard to Nine Mile Point, he said it is the oldest longest continuously active lighthouse in the Great Lakes, “a national treasure” that should be preserved. “It is doable,” he said. It was suggested the township had rejected a request for assistance in preserving the lighthouse made by the Preservation of the Nine Mile Point Lighthouse committee. As the Q&A began, Mayor Doyle, who was in the audience, clarified the townships position. “We never refused to assist the group,” he said. “ What came to council was a report from our (then acting) CAO commenting on

Identifying your garden preferences Style of the home Landscaping designs often tie into the architectural style of a home. For example, an extensive Asian-inspired garden complete with koi pond and bonsai may look odd in front of a log home. Keep architecture in mind when planning a garden so the look of the home you present is cohesive and fits with the community and immediate vicinity. Design preferences Are you a free spirit who doesn’t conform to convention with firm boundaries? Or are you one who likes order and things in their place? Knowing what makes you tick will help you to choose a gardening style that will be easier to maintain and also make you feel comfortable.

Climate and conditions The foremost consideration when planting a garden is the climate where the garden will be located. Planting items that are not conducive to growing in certain conditions can be counterintuitive and a waste of money and effort. Prospective gardeners must become familiar with the hardiness zones of their region prior to making any plans. This will help you to determine which types of plants will thrive on your landscape. Once this is determined, examination of the soil and conditions on the property is also helpful. Taking this step will help identify any plant deterrents, such as poor soil quality and pH as well as any pests that may
impede plant growth. If you live in a hot, sandy location, lush tropical plants may not thrive. Therefore, even if you desire a Mediterranean look, you may have to settle for something that works better with your landscape conditions.

How to guarantee your garden starts off on the right foot
Clear debris One of the best things you can do for your garden as winter winds down is to clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often filled with debris once spring arrives. Dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely won’t take long, but it’s a great first step toward restoring the garden before the time comes to plant and grow the garden once again. Examine the soil Soil plays a significant role in
whether a garden thrives or struggles. Examining the soil before the season starts can help gardeners address any issues before they plant. Ignoring the soil until a problem arises can turn the upcoming gardening season into a lost opportunity, so test the soil to determine if it has any nutrient or mineral deficiencies. This may require the help of a professional, but if a problem arises, you might be able to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and still enjoy a successful gardening season. Another way to examine the soil is less complex but can shed light on when would be a good time to get back to work. Reach into the soil and dig out a handful. If the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for gardening seasoning. But if the soil is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work. Initiate edging Edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. Edge plant and flower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a flat blade or an edger designed to edge flower beds. Such tools will cut deep enough
so grass roots that may eventually grow into the flower bed are severed. Depending on how large a garden is, edging can be a timeconsuming task, so getting a head start allows homeowners to spend more time planting and tending to their gardens once the season hits full swing. Fight weeds Though weeds likely have not survived the winter, that does not mean they won’t return once the weather starts to heat up. But as inevitable as weeds may seem, homeowners can take steps to prevent them from turning beautiful gardens into battlegrounds where plants, flowers and vegetables are pitted against unsightly and potentially harmful weeds. Spring is a good time to apply a pre-emergent weed preventer, which can stop weeds before they grow. Though such solutions are not always foolproof, they can drastically reduce the likelihood of weed growth. Though gardeners might not be able to start planting their gardens in late winter or early spring, they can still get outside and take steps to ensure their gardens thrive once planting season begins. R0012679002
As winter slowly winds down, many gardeners cannot wait to soak up the springtime sun and get their hands dirty in the garden. Such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benefit the garden in the months to come as well. Late winter or early spring is a great time to get a head start on the gardening season. Even if gardening season is still around the corner, completing the following projects can ensure your garden gets off on the right foot.

The right watering can make all the difference in a lush lawn are at their most mild. That often translates to early morning or early evening. An added benefit of watering when temperatures are on the mild side is less water will be lost to evaporation during this time, meaning you won’t be wasting water. * Situate sprinklers to conserve water. Homeowners who won’t be hand watering their lawns should make sure their sprinklers are placed properly throughout their property. Situate sprinklers so they aren’t watering driveways, walkways or patios. All of the water should be going to the grass, especially when drought restrictions are in place and the amount of watering the law allows is limited. It’s also important to make sure water from sprinklers isn’t being blocked from reaching the grass by trees. Homeowners with especially large trees on their property should consider hand watering the grass beneath such trees to ensure these areas receive adequate water. * Lean on mulch. Homeowners tend to fear drought for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that drought can cause a green lawn to turn brown, potentially affecting property value and robbing a landscape of its beauty. But there are ways to help the soil retain moisture
when temperatures are especially hot and dry. Mulch around trees, flower beds, gardens and shrubs can help homeowners get the most bang for their watering buck. That’s because mulch retains moisture, even when temperatures are especially hot. This helps foster stronger root growth and healthier landscapes that are less susceptible to disease and insect infestation. R0012658332
Proper watering is essential when trying to restore or maintain a lush green lawn. If watered incorrectly, a lawn can be susceptible to a host of problems, including insect infestation, weak roots and disease. When watering a lawn, especially when temperatures start to soar in the summer, it’s easy to think a lawn needs more water and needs it during those hours of the day when the sun is at its most intense. However, those are two common misconceptions about watering. The following are a handful of tips for homeowners who want to help their lawns endure the summer heat and maintain their lush appeal into the fall. * Water when temperatures are mild. In the summertime, humans typically need water when temperatures are at their most extreme, but that does not mean lawns should be watered when temperatures soar. Water attracts the sun, so watering when temperatures are at their hottest, which is typically around midday and into early afternoon, will likely lead to brown spots indicative of a burned lawn. That’s because the sun will be drawn to the water, bearing down on the lawn and burning the grass as a result. When summer arrives, a lawn is best watered when temperatures
* Get to know your lawn. Several variables combine to determine how much water a lawn needs. Understanding these variables helps homeowners understand how much to water their own lawns. Local climate is a variable to consider, as is whether or not a lawn was fertilized (experts typically recommend a lawn be fertilized several times, beginning in the spring and ending in October).
Soil type and grass type also help to determine how much water a lawn needs, and homeowners who need to determine the type of soil and grass on their property can consult a local lawn care center or landscaping professional. Proper watering can help a lawn survive the dog days of summer, and it’s up to homeowners to learn the right techniques.

work against the foundling tree. Staking trees to inhibit swaying may not stimulate the tree to grow thicker, lower trunks that will help the tree in the long run. The Royal Horticultural Society recommends that saplings be staked for around one year and then have the stakes removed to encourage the tree to be strong and stable on its own. * MYTH: Water droplets and sunshine lead to burnt leaves. Gardeners have been told to resist watering their plants during the hottest times of the day. Many assume it’s because water droplets lying on leaves will magnify the sun’s rays and burn the leaves. According to Dr. Gabor Horvath at the Eoetvoes University in Budapest, water droplets will rarely damage plants because the drops are too close to the leaves to cause burning before they evaporate. Watering during the hottest points of the day is not advised because water evaporates and gets wasted. * MYTH: Sand added to clay soil makes it looser and better for plants. Clay soil is a deterrent to gardening because it can be so hard to dig and difficult to cultivate, but some feel it’s best to add sand to the clay to make it a better soil mixture. You would need a great deal of sand to do this in the right manner, but many gardeners simply dig a hole, add sand and hope for the best. However, water runoff will pool in the sand and not be absorbed by the clay, potentially causing the plants to drown. * MYTH: Adding compost or potting soil to the planting hole for a tree or shrub is beneficial. Gardeners frequently add compost or potting soil to the hole where the root ball of a tree or shrub will be placed. But this encourages the roots to grow only in this nutrient-rich area, rather than

Gardening is an age-old activity that was once a necessity but has transformed into a hobby for thousands of people. While gardening still serves practical purposes, many gardeners still consider it a hobby first and foremost. Time-tested gardening techniques have prevailed, but there remain certain myths about gardening that are best dispelled. The following are some of the more common myths associated with gardening. * MYTH: Compost tea is more effective than traditional compost. All over North America and the United Kingdom, gardeners have jumped on board the compost tea bandwagon. Compost tea is a fertilizer created by steeping compost in water mixed with sugar in brewing kits. The mixture is allowed to sit and aerate to encourage beneficial organism growth before it is sprayed on plants. According to supporters, compost tea suppresses disease and boosts plant yields. However, there is no evidence to suggest that compost tea works any better than adding compost in its normal state to the soil. In fact, leaving buckets of the “tea” around to ferment could actually create a breeding ground for E coli and other bacteria. * MYTH: Plants under stress should be fertilized. This is not the case. Horticulturists advise that fertilizing plants that are not deficient in nutrients can actually add to existing stress levels for plants. Plants are not often stressed by a lack of food, but rather heat, faulty planting or space constraints. A fed plant will use the energy to absorb the nutrients instead of defending against a blight or establishing better root systems. * MYTH: Young trees need stakes. It may be tempting to stake that little sapling to protect it against the weather and strong winds, but doing so may actually

Best Deli in the west end By Kate Kristiansen
Fast, friendly and healthy. Keith’s Deli is the west end’s best-kept secret. Located at 645 Gardiners Road, it’s a great choice for take away or eat in when you desire an appetizing lunch. People line up for lunch from the cafeteria-style deli for thick, tasty sandwiches, delicious soups and fresh, crunchy salads. Long before there was a donut shop on every corner, Keith’s Deli has served up healthy, quick options. Many choose so-called healthy options through a drive thru window, but as the customers at Keith’s confirm: nothing beats a freshly made sandwich from Keith’s counter. My days are often full, juggling work and family life. If I forget to pack a lunch, my stomach begins to rumble and scream for food. Recently, I found myself in just this predicament, darting across the west end looking for a place that serves tasty, homemade food. Keith’s Deli jumped out for its very local look and feel. Sadly, I had forgotten Keith’s around the same time I started working downtown and discovered the Golden Rooster. My visits to the west end limited to a movie or brief shopping trip. As soon as I pulled up to the familiar deli, the mouth-watering egg salad sandwich came to mind and I kicked myself for not being back sooner. The deli has a home-style feel to it with its plastic tables and chairs; newspaper and magazines are available for your reading pleasure. It’s clean, comfortable and offers quick, healthy food.
Not many places serve up traditional sandwiches any more. The good old-fashioned egg salad, ham and cheese, roast beef, smoked meat and chicken salad have largely been replaced with stuffed paninis and focaccia, or worse, pre-wrapped subs. I was thrilled to see Betty behind the counter, still slathering butter on bread before adding meat and toppings. She smiled that familiar smile she has shown countless visitors. While she doesn’t know me, I feel like I know her. That’s the thing about Keith’s Deli - you get the same service every time. There are no surprises. I ordered the special: cream of broccoli soup and the egg salad sandwich on whole grain. The bread did not appear homemade, but it was fresh. I have a thing for egg salad on sandwich bread. More often than not, these tasty morsels are only found at a funeral or the dreaded baby shower. (Yes, I just said that baby showers are worse than funerals.) My sandwich was stacked high with fresh egg whipped together with the perfect balance of seasoning and fresh spring onions. One bite sent it oozing out the sides, but I managed to eat every last morsel. Keith’s offers a traditional deli menu, including a variety of salads, sandwiches and other hot foods such as, lasagna, mac and cheese and homemade soups. A catering service is also available. You can pre-order online at keithsdeli.ca or by calling 613389-7015 for your next small or large event. There were few changes at Keith’s since my last visit. They
now have free wi-fi, something every business should make available to customers. The deli changed ownership five years ago. It is no longer owned by its namesake, Keith, but you will happily discover that with owner Jason Song (and of course, Betty),
it still doesn’t miss a beat. Same menu, same great service. In fact, they ask their customers to stay the same too. There is a sign at the counter which reads: “Please put your cellphone away. Paying attention to someone when they are talking to you? There is an
app for that, it’s called respect.” I missed this place. If you have a restaurant suggestion or foodie biz you would like me to check out please email ladydinesalot@gmail.com or follow me on Facebook or my blog Ladydinesalot.com.

Spring cleaning brought new life into Mary’s childhood home Date: March 19, 2014
Mary Cook Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca
Lifestyle - The signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there. Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring. Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts. Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter. And the windows, grimy from the long months when it was impossible to clean them, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar. The windows were ready for the warm weather. When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house...one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts...many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue...
To: 1000 Islands Docks Attn: Al now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting Acct:of 12496 to the dozens times they had been washed over the winter. The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey. Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up his combinations only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting. There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next, and I was always amazed how Mother found space to tuck things away, sight unseen. Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing... always a chore for a warm sunny day. Then each piece examined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs. The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. And as soon as Mother got the itch to “turn the whole house upside down� as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day...a day better spent on the back fields. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,� he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering Oval be moved to the summer kitchen...rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, May 8, 2014 29
Derby Girls roll into their fifth season By Kelly Reid Reporter
Heritage News - This Sunday, Kingston is invited to the home opener double header of the Kingston Derby Girls, a roller derby league of 50 women that got its start in 2010. “It’s very family-friendly and diverse,” says competitor Sandra Deevious from the Skateful Dead team. “Everybody comes. It’s great.” The double header will have KDG teams Skateful Dead and Rogue Warriors facing off, followed by KDG’s Disloyalists against Les Duchesses from Quebec City. The latter game is something of a grudge match, says Disloyalist skater Timbit. “Last year, we played a good game against them in Quebec City, but they took the point.” Now, the Disloyalists will have home court advantage. For the uninitiated, the teams promise a rollicking event on Sunday. “There’s lots of physicality,” says Deevious. Timbit adds, “It’s full contact, fast paced, and very exciting. I heard someone describe it once as kind of like playing chess while someone’s throwing bricks at you. That’s about right.” Along with the derby matches, the opener will also have half-time games, commentators, a beer tent from the Mansion and a full merchandise table. “We’re entirely volunteer-run, too,” Deevious goes on. “It’s really important to acknowledge their support. We couldn’t do it without them.” Timbit, who has been playing with KDG since the first season and now sits on the board of directors, hopes that this year the league will
come closer to reaching some of its long-term goals. For instance, KDG hopes to reach full certification with the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). “This year, KDG is in the first year of an apprenticeship league,” Timbit explains. “Once we reach full-fledged status, we’ll see more travel for games, more tournaments, international ranking and an overall higher level of play.” Even as an apprentice league, though, Deevious says that KDG has plenty of support. “As one of the smaller leagues, we have some of the highest turnout there is. For past home openers, we’ve seen as many as 800 people come out.” Both Timbit and Deevious fell in love with the sport after trying it out for a season, not sure what to expect. “I was just hooked,” says Timbit. “I was never a big sports person, but derby is an activity where any skater is useful on the track.” Timbit joined as a way of meeting people in the community, and instantly found a sense of camaraderie. “We all have something in common, and that’s the love of the sport.” Deevious agrees, saying, “We have a wide range of ages and abilities, and we make it work. It’s just great to see so many women enjoying themselves.” Doors for the home opener open at 5:30 at the Memorial Centre, with the first whistle at 6:30. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door, and are available from the Mansion, Chumleighs, Novel Idea, Blossoms Kingston, or online. For more information about the upcoming season, visit www.kingstonderbygirls.com.

A couple of weeks ago in a column about massage, I gave a shout-out to Elements Natural Therapies and Spa and raved about a massage therapist I see there, but I didn’t name her. I’ve received numerous messages asking who she is. Alyssa Green is the therapist and now that I’ve said she’s one of the best, I thought I’d better follow up with a column about her. When we chatted last week, it became clear that her talents extend far beyond massage. In addition to being a registered massage therapist (RMT), she’s also a doula. A doula is a woman experienced in childbirth who provides physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth. Recently, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologist (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM) released a study on Safe Prevention of Primary Caesarian Delivery. Here’s what they had to say: “Published data indicate that one of the most effective tools to improve labor and delivery outcomes is the continuous presence of support personnel, such as a doula. A Cochrane meta-analysis of 12 trials and more than 15,000 women demonstrated that the presence of continuous one-on-one support during labor and delivery was associated with improved patient satisfaction and a statistically significant reduction in the rate of cesarean delivery. Given that there are no associated measurable harms, this resource is probably underutilized.” Or, in the simpler words of Dr. John H. Kennel: “If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.” Alyssa traveled back and forth between Kingston and classes in Cambridge and Belleville to gain her accreditation as a doula. There are no legal requirements, but a doula can go through the training and gain optional certification. “We’re there to help explain what is happening,” she said. “We don’t have the emotional connection a partner does. Some people get frantic when they see someone they love in pain. We’re trained to address those things. It’s all about the woman’s goals and
what she’s comfortable with. We also provide information about post-partum depression, information on breast and bottle feeding and information on when it’s time to go to the hospital in an emergency situation.” When I went for a recent massage, Alyssa had just participated as a doula during a birth a few days earlier. “I was there to support whatever decisions were made,” she said. “The big thing is informed choice. A doula is there for physical and emotional support, whether it’s massage or little things like making sure the mother and others stay hydrated.” But her eyes told the real story. Sparkles. “Those moments are magical when you see the change happening in such a short time. Single people become a couple and a family. When you get to see a mom hold her baby for the first time, I just love it.” She said her decision to enter massage therapy was fairly straightforward. “It was really a process of elimination,” she said. “I wanted originally to become a doctor and pathologist, but decided there was just too much school, money and time involved. I knew I wanted to go into something involving people. I didn’t want to be at a desk all day. I love human anatomy and biology. Massage therapy fit all the bill and I thought I’d give it a go. I decided that if I didn’t like it, I’d try something else. But I fell in love with it.” Alyssa started working at Elements in February 2013. As a Registered Massage Therapist, she she sees a wide range of people. “They come in for all different reasons,” she said. “Some come for stress relief. Some for injuries or physical problems they’ve had. It keeps the day interesting.” She said there’s no real age limit for who can benefit from massage; she also likes to work with children and teens. “What we are taught is that once a child can understand informed consent, then they can have a massage alone,” she said. “However, if parents want to come in the room, that’s fine as well.” She explained that a lot of teens come in for help with stress. “If they’re having any emotional issues, things like pressure at school during exams, they can come in for stress relief. It’s an important part of overall care. It’s also very important for teens

Heart to Horse Connection invites you to celebrate Mare’s Day mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
R0012686920
Heritage Events – If you are having trouble finding the right way to celebrate mom this year, look no further. Dawn Sadler thinks she has the perfect event for you and your mom, especially if you enjoy nature and horses. Happy Mare’s Day is being held on May 10 and the event invites families to come out to a horse farm in Kingston and learn more about Heart to Horse Connection, a group that was founded by Sadler in 2009. “It all started when I realized I wanted to spend more time with a horse,” explained Sadler. “A friend of mine had a horse at a farm and she asked the owner if any of the other horses needed company. I got matched up with Can Do, who was 26 and not rideable, which was perfect for me because I don’t ride.” Week after week, Sadler formed a relationship with Can Do, and began to sense that there had to be more people out there who wanted to spend time with horses, as well as more horses that needed company. Sadler started to explore training that would allow her to become a certified horse companion and as she spent more time with Can Do she wanted to share her experiences with other. She matched up a friend with Can Do’s boyfriend and continued on from there. “I partnered up with a friend of mine and we created Heart to Horse Connection. We are in the process of creating [a training program through Equine Education] that will teach people how to care for horses and how to become horse companions with an emphasis on relationships.” She adds that they also run Heartful Horse workshops for people who are unsure if they’re interested but want to learn more. On Happy Mare’s Day, Sadler invites people to come out and see what it’s all about. Activities run from 1 to 4 p.m. on May 10, and will showcase information about Heartful Horse workshops and Equine Education; it will also feature tours of the farm and an introduction to all of the horses.
There will be demonstrations on grooming, information about Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL) for personal development by Jocelyn Grey, demonstrations of Reiki for animal companions taught by Cheryl Heibert of Sacred Journey Healing Arts and a silent auction. The day will also include some vendors selling art and there will be a gate prize given out every hour. “It is just a fun afternoon where people can come out and see this beautiful horse farm and experience nature,” added Sadler, “I feel like this a great opportunity for people who have always wanted to spend time with horses and it also helps people who own horses and may need help in terms of care for whatever reason.” Sadler has seen great benefits during her time as a horse companion and although Can Do passed away last month, Sadler has already found a new companion in Liza. “Can Do taught me about loyalty and commitment and grounding. She was very steadfast and very reliable and at the time I had been around horses very little, but she made me comfortable. I gained calmness and tranquility by spending time with Can Do. An hour with the horse feels like four…It’s just an incredibly calming time.” Dawn Sadler with her horse companion Liza. Both will be at Happy Mare’s Day on May 10 The main focus or Heart to Horse is on at 1888 Hwy #2 in Kingston. Photo/Mandy Marciniak non-riding connections and companionship and Sadler urges everyone to come check out the benefits, especially people that are retired or feel that they need companionship after their kids have moved out. “I suspect there are a lot of people who have loved horses from afar or since their childhood. This gives them an opportunity to reconnect with that love. Aside from riding there are very few opportunities to interact with horses and many people don’t want to commit to riding and learning those skills, they just want to hang out with the horses. YEARS They are great companions, just like dogs and cats.” Happy Mare’s Day takes place on May 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 1888 Hwy 2.

Sir John A’s biggest booster touts Kingston’s most famous son on the west coast hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
Heritage News - Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial Commissioner Art Milnes’ work to educate Canadians about our country’s first prime minister and plan his 200th birthday celebration in 2015 is already well known to those of us in the Kingston area. Later this month, Milnes will take his message across the country to speak at Canadian Clubs in Vancouver and Victoria, BC, to get people there excited about next year’s events. “The great thing about Canadian Clubs is they’re quite historic - I think they were founded in 1912,” Milnes says. “They’re always full of really eclectic and interesting community leaders, so I was just thrilled when I got these invitations because that’s who I want to speak to.” He notes that this direct communication with Canadians across the country will benefit both the Commission and the city of Kingston. “It’s one thing to send a press release, but it’s another thing to actually stand at a podium in front of people and say ‘hey, come to Kingston because we’re the headquarters of the Macdonald Bicentennial’… So hopefully the whole bicentennial year will be a double opportunity. One, Canadians will learn more about their history, but the second
part is that for Kingston, it’s one hell of an economic opportunity.” Milnes adds that he’s also very interested in encouraging those British Columbians who can’t make it to the Limestone City in 2015 to hold their own Bicentennial celebrations. “It’s kind of the best of both worlds,” he says. Indeed, Macdonald played an important role in the early history of British Columbia. In 1878, he was elected as Victoria’s representative in the House of Commons, after the Pacific scandal rendered him unelectable in Eastern Canada. He was also the driving force behind the decision to build the Canadian Pacific Railroad, which was intended to link western Canada with the rest of the country. Once it was completed, Macdonald was able to travel out to his Victoria riding on the newly minted railroad. “He and his wife actually crossed the entire country,” Milnes says. “It’s hard to explain to young people today, but the idea of crossing 3,000 miles on a band of steel would be like getting on a space shuttle. I’ve always found it fascinating that Sir John A Macdonald himself had that dream of the railway, which was a crazy dream. It couldn’t be done, but he did it. For him to actually see his dream in action must have been something else. “I’ve always wished he kept a
diary,” Milnes adds. “Maybe we’ll find one someday - I’m still looking.” Fittingly, VIA Rail will play a large role 2015 celebrations. In January, the company will organize special cars full of high-profile Canadians, who will travel to Kingston from Toronto and Ottawa to be a part of the festivities on Jan. 11, Macdonald’s birthday. The previous weekend’s events will also include a debate between two yet-to-beannounced political figures on who is Canada’s greatest prime minister: Macdonald or Laurier, a special dinner put on by the Kingston Historical Society and more. “Everybody’s really coming on board so I’m pretty excited,” Milnes says. “I’m tired but I’m not complaining.” For the next eight months, Milnes will continue to spread the word about Canada’s first prime minister. “It’s pretty ambitious, but my goal has always been that by the end of 2015, every Canadian student in particular will have to at least consider the formation of Canada, and hopefully Macdonald’s role in that. He wasn’t perfect - I’ve never claimed that - but he was the founder and the father of Confederation.”

We Walk the Line comes to Kingston just in time for Mother’s Day By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Events – It has been just over 10 years since the death of legendary musician Johnny Cash and during that decade countless performers have set out to imitate his sound and pay tribute to the “man in black”. One of these performers is Ward Cornforth, and he is bringing his band and tribute show, ‘We Walk the Line’, to the Grand Theatre just in time for Mother’s Day. Cornforth started singing Johnny Cash songs out of a love for music and because his voice was too low for many other songs. After studying Cash’s songs for a number of years, he decided to start a band and from there ‘We Walk the Line’ was born. “I put a band together about three years ago and the show has been progressing steadily,” said Cornforth. “We added June Carter to the show and we’ve been playing a lot of festivals and performing in a few theatres and it has been kind of a gradual process to this point. We’ve performed about 40 to 50 shows and we did about 18 last year. It is part time but we are hoping to perform at more theatres as we progress and maybe do a bit more.” The show includes selections from throughout Cash’s long career and Cornforth tries to focus on a bit of everything including the later comeback stuff. Cash’s catalogue is very diverse and that is part of what Cornforth loves. “There is a lot of variety in the material and that is what keeps it interesting for me and the whole band,” explained Cornforth. “When I started out I went to see a pretty famous Johnny Cash performer named Shawn Barker and he does a lot of theatre shows and has been really successful with it. He per-
forms shows four or five nights a week and continually sells out and we kind of tailored our show after his a bit. We try to keep it upbeat like his and focus on the duets between Johnny and June.” The band has seen great success with this formula and Cornforth is always amazed to see the reach that Cash has, even today. “His comeback years really made him appeal to a younger audience, too. We play some shows and there are teenagers in the audience who want to hear Hurt. It is fascinating to see a crowd of people in their 80s and then teenagers mixed in.” While Cornforth and his band have yet to play a show in Kingston, he is really looking forward to it and the vibe of the Grand Theatre. He encourages people to come check it out just to see the variety of songs that Cash created and to enjoy the classics too. He hopes to add the newly released Cash material to the show in the future. “It’s funny because one of the new songs on the record that was just released is called ‘Call Your Mother’ and that would have been very appropriate for this show and to remind people to do that.” We Walk the Line will be at the Regina Rosen Auditorium, Grand Theatre on Sunday May 11 at 7:30 p.m. for tickets phone 613.530.2050 or go to the Grand Theatre website at http://kingstongrand.ca/event/wewalk-line-tribute-johnny-cash

Out Standing in Our Field
Aric McBay
Fresh grass has an amazing effect on livestock morale By Aric McBay
Out Standing in My Field - Years ago I worked on a relative’s sheep farm, down the road from us on Howe Island, to help with spring lambing. One of the ewes had a rough delivery and was in a lot of pain afterward. She lacked all motivation and would simply lay on the floor of her stall. She refused to eat or drink. Her eyes looked glassy. She was bleeding a bit. The prognosis was not good. Mary, the sheep farmer, decided to try putting the sick ewe out on pasture to see if she would eat there. It was still early in the spring so the sheep were mostly eating their winter hay
while the first flush of new grass came in. When we tried to herd the sick ewe out of the barn, she wouldn’t move. She wouldn’t even stand. So we drove the loader tractor up to the barn and literally rolled the sheep, gently, into the tractor bucket. We drove across the barnyard to the edge of the pasture and opened the gate. As soon as the ewe saw the fresh grass she stood up, leapt from the bucket of the moving tractor, ran over to the pasture and began gorging herself on fresh grass. A few days later, she had completely recovered. Imagine eating dry food through
the darkest and coldest months of the year. After that, a succulent field of grass and clover and alfalfa is a banquet. I live on a dairy farm, and every spring the calves born over the winter get to eat fresh grass for the first time in their lives. Sometimes I see them go out into the sunlit field and dip their heads to eat from the pasture. Oh, they must realize in pleasant surprise, so this is what it is to be a cow. And then they run around the field, jumping and bucking. Our chickens, like chickens in general, disdain the feeling of snow on their feet. They will do anything they can to avoid stepping in snow
and prefer to stay inside their spacious chicken house much of the winter. The return of grass is a welcome relief. I’m watching them right now as their flock systematically surveys the grass around their coop in search of particularly tasty sprouts or earthworms. Everyone on the farm benefits from spring. Even the bumblebees seem ecstatic, floating from blossom to blossom on hawthorns in the hedgerow while most trees still have bare branches. Spring on the farm provides treats to the senses that are often difficult to describe in words. The colour of the first flush of grass in the pasture
impossibly green. It is greener than green. It’s a luminous shade I’ve never seen reproduced in a photograph or a painting. It glows, seething with life. It’s a colour you can’t match with a paint swatch; you’d best find a poet instead. Or you could watch a sick sheep leap from a moving tractor to run to a new pasture, and imagine what she sees. Aric McBay is a farmer and author. He lives and works at a mixed family farm with a dairy herd and a vegetable operation. For more about the vegetable CSA, visit rootradicalrows.com.

Kingston Transplant Advocacy Association aims to be #1 in Canada with the help of a local high school student By Hiba Kesebi Reporter
The Kingston Transplant Advocacy Association is ready to kickstart its Kingston Challenge campaign to make Kingston the number one city in Canada for organ donation registration, thanks to a logo designed by a Grade 11 student at Kingston Collegiate & Vocational Institute. Samantha Ledger was recently announced the winner of the TAA Logo Contest, which asked high school students to design a logo that is relevant to organ and tissue donation and the Kingston Challenge campaign. “It’s such an honour to have my logo chosen for the challenge,” said a grinning Ledger, during the grand reveal of her logo on April 27. “My art teacher presented the challenge to me, and I thought this is a great cause.’” It took Ledger several weeks to design her logo, which incorporated the TAA’s green ribbon with the phrase “Kingston #1”. “I did a little bit of research before designing the logo and I saw the green ribbon a lot and thought, ‘oh I should definitely incorporate it since that’s a big symbol for the organization.’ Also by heralding a challenge for the Kingston community, you are trying to get them to check yes, I want to be a registered donor, so I wanted to incorporate
that as well and make it really clear to convey,” explained Ledger, who received $1,000 for her logo. Kingston is currently ranked second for registered organ tissue donors, just behind Thunder Bay. “But being second place just isn’t good enough. That is what hacked this idea of the Kingston challenge - to see if we can do something to make Kingston number one,” said Margaret McDonald, who is the coordinator for the Kingston Challenge. The association decided to reach out to high school students to design a logo for the challenge, hoping that this would be an exercise to shed light on organ donation and spread awareness about the cause. “At this age they are old enough to know about this and what it is all about,” noted McDonald. Ledger agrees. “The contest has really done a great job spreading awareness. It definitely inspired me to go out and find some more information about how you donate your organs and tissues and how that affects everybody. I’ve also been talking to my friends about it just by telling them what the contest is about,” said Ledger. For more information about the TAA visit: www.transplantadvocateassociation.ca To register to be a donor and help make Kingston number one visit: www.beadonor.ca/taa_canada.
