EMC News – Two months after closing its doors, the Cataraqui Archaeological Research Foundation (CARF) is looking for ways to keep its vast collection of artefacts from leaving the Kingston area. “It’s a done deal as far as CARF is concerned,” said John Coleman, president of the foundation’s board of directors, dismissing any hope the organization can be saved. “The issue now is whether we can secure funding to retire gracefully.” The not-for-profit organization faces a daunting task in winding down its 30-year operation. There are about 900 box-
es of artefacts at CARF’s 2,000 square feet climate-controlled office on Princess Street that need to find a home, soon. Coleman says volunteers are now trying to contact every archaeologist who holds a license to the unearthed material to see if they want it back and, if not, what to do with it. “Technically none of this belongs to CARF. This material is the responsibility of the archaeologist who excavated it,” Coleman explained. The storage material includes everything from broken pottery pieces and nails to iron works that were unearthed during local digs over the past three decades. Although many of the items are not considered museum pieces, CARF must sort out the complex ownership issues without a paid staff and a building lease that’s quickly running out.

Cash-strapped archaeology group struggles to exit ‘gracefully’ By Bill Hutchins
Town Crier Competition Pg. 34
EMC News – A decision on whether to allow a mediumsized conference centre across from the K-Rock Centre in downtown Kingston could be made by city council this fall. City officials say a $50,000 conference centre study is now underway – jointly funded by the city and its economic development agency, KEDCO - to examine the demand for a conference facility and whether it should be fully funded by a private developer or through a partnership with the city. “I’m a proponent of a conference centre in the City of Kingston. I think that would be a good location. I’m hoping that comes back in some of the proposals because I think that’s what we need,” said Mayor Mark Gerretsen. The conference centre study could form a key part of the city’s plan to seek development ideas for the prime downtown block. The city is currently mapping out the details of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to seek out a private developer and buyer for the space known as
Block 4 - one of the four underdeveloped blocks that make up the downtown’s North Block District. The city-owned block - bounded by Ontario Street, Queen Street, King Street and The Tragically Hip Way - is currently home to a utilities substation, a few low-rise heritage buildings and a 170-space municipal parking lot. In addition to a possible conference centre, the city is seeking a “signature” building that will rise six to 18 stories. The site is currently zoned for a maximum of six stories but councillors are willing to relax the height limitations to spur development. The Downtown Kingston BIA supports hi-rise development on Block 4. “A 16 to 18 storey building could make a dramatic statement on Kingston’s skyline and make a new landmark in the downtown,” the BIA’s managing director Doug Ritchie has stated. The city has big plans to sell this prime property described as a gateway to the downtown because of its high-profile location near the LaSalle Causeway, Wolfe Island ferry dock and the

“Time is the important element right now. We’ve got no money,” said Coleman. The City of Kingston may yet play a role in buying the organization some time to sort through the collection and possibility keep some or all of it in local hands. Sources say CARF and the city entered into recent talks to provide municipal funding to at least cover the building’s rent for a few more months. However, the outcome of those negotiations remains uncertain. City council agreed to float the beleaguered organization $30,000 in bailout funding in May. But it wasn’t enough to keep the doors open. CARF closed on June 8 and laid off its Continued on page 7

Exit Stage Right: Kingston’s cultural director departs for new starring role Reporter
EMC News – After five and a half years helming the City of Kingston’s cultural department, Brian McCurdy is moving on to a new challenge. He is leaving City Hall to become executive director of The Burlington Performing Arts Centre in Burlington, Ontario. “Brian has provided leadership and direction for the planning, construction, opening and ongoing management of performing arts centres,” said Rick Burgess, chair of the Burlington centre’s board, in announcing McCurdy’s appointment in late July.
In 2011, Burlington opened a $40 million performing arts centre with 718 seats in the main auditorium, plus a smaller 150seat community studio theatre. It may be a case of déjà vu for McCurdy, who has done similar work at newly-opened performing arts centres in Lethbridge, Alberta, Thunder Bay and two others in California. He arrived in Kingston in early 2008 to oversee the final phase and opening of the Grand Theatre’s $17 million restoration. But as the city’s cultural director, McCurdy’s role extended far beyond the stage scene. The revamped and expanded position also put him in charge of two municipal museums, Tett Centre for Creativity (now undergoing a multi-million dollar
modernization), plus other cultural programs administered by the municipality. McCurdy says he applied for the Burlington theatre job for a couple of reasons. “It’s an opportunity to get back to what I really love doing which is managing performing arts centres and presenting artists.” He says the move to the other end of Lake Ontario also allows him to be near his 95 year old father who lives about 45 minutes outside of Burlington. “So it’s a great opportunity for me to be a little closer.” McCurdy, who has a Masters degree in Music performance and arts management, has enjoyed his share of artistic ups and downs during his time in Kingston.
Block Talk: Is a conference centre in downtown Kingston feasible? city’s flagship arena. Council already approved a list of development concepts that could be allowed on the site including a residential high-rise building, hotel and conference centre, ground floor commercial, 40 public parking spaces, open space and heritage building preservation. Mayor Gerretsen agrees the under-used block has future development potential. “We have a great opportunity of being next to the K-Rock Centre to really build a complimentary venue there, and whether it’s part hotel, part conference centre - they can really lend well to each other.” KEDCO says Kingston lacks a mediumsized convention centre with a ballroom that can host 800 to 1,000 delegates – about double the capacity of what Kingston hotels currently provide. The city turns away roughly $40-$50 million worth of convention business every year due to the lack of amenities, KEDCO’s Rob Carnegie estimated. However, experts also caution that convention centres don’t typically turn a profit for the municipality. Most of the economic benefits instead come from delegate spending at area hotels and restaurants. The timeline to issue an RFP that will open the door for development ideas is taking longer than expected. Cynthia Beach, the commissioner overseeing the process, said while the current council will likely have the results of the conference centre feasibility study this fall, it could take another year to hear back from the RFP proponents. This could put the process in the middle of the 2014 civic election campaign which would hamstring council’s ability to select a purchaser/developer for the site. “The disposition of real property transac-

councillors over the need to purchase a $129,000 Grand piano for the Grand Theatre rather than continue to rent one from Queen’s for travelling performers who required a specific piano for their shows. The purchase was eventually approved after much political and public debate. McCurdy assumes his new role August 19 – one that is focused solely on running a performing arts centre. “As we head into our third season we welcome Brian to the team,” said Burgess. City officials say it will take several months to undertake a recruitment process to find a new cultural director.

He played a key role in creating the city’s first cultural master plan in 2010. The study produced 60 recommendations to revitalize the local arts and culture scene, along with a $2.2 million tax investment to support enhanced programming for museums, promoting festivals and other special events, restoring the City Hall art collection and opening exhibition space, plus attractive welcoming signs, art work and landscaping around the city. The artistic community hailed the report as breathing much-needed life into Kingston’s arts and cultural scene. However, not all of the planned improvements went smoothly.

“Last year was successful, but space was a little limited, said Carvalho. “There were still about 1,000 people in attendance. In previous years at Lake Ontario Park they usually saw about 3,000-4,000 people come out so hopefully that is the case this year. That is one of the reasons we brought it back to the park.” Carvalho added that “we’ve also had a ton of volunteers working on the event, spending countless hours trying to make the event the best one yet. We have also received a lot of support from local organizations who want to support the Boys and Girls Club and all that we do for the Kingston community.” The event will happen rain or shine and while the weather may be unpredictable, the level of fun will not be.
“It’s just a really great family day filled with fun activities and the teddy bear becomes a bit of a mascot for it,” said Carvalho. “I would encourage people to come out because it is a very unique event that doesn’t happen every day. It has been loved and celebrated by children for nearly two decades and especially now that it has been gone from Lake Ontario Park for the past few years, it is a great time to come out and rediscover it.” The Teddy Bear Picnic will be held Aug. 24 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. The cost of admission is $3 per person or $10 for families.

Contaminated Davis Tannery lands being prepared for potential developer/buyer By Bill Hutchins Reporter
EMC News – The city has gone back to the drawing board to try and find a buyer and developer for the old industrial property known as the Davis Tannery lands. The city does not own the 15 hectare (37 acre) property along the Inner Harbour, but is actively trying to come up with a vision for its future development. The century-old Tannery site was the scene of heavy industrial uses since 1867, but has remained vacant since 1970. Even though decades of heavy metal contamination have left the site unattractive to potential buyers, who don’t want to assume the environmental hazards, the location is considered a strategic property. City officials say it has enormous potential for residential infill, transportation connections to the downtown, waterfront trails and public parkland. The Tannery lands are just one kilometre from the downtown. “There are numerous other benefits to the city and the community that would arise from rejuvenation of this Brownfield property,” said Cynthia Beach, commissioner of Sustainability and Growth, noting its tax generating potential as well. Beach says the sprawling property
contains enough land to single-handedly meet the city’s new home construction demand for one full year. It’s believed the southern portion can accommodate up to 790 homes – a mix of single-family houses and apartments as high as 10 stories. The northern portion is deemed a provincially significant wetland that borders Belle Park. Rideau Renewal Inc. currently owns the Davis Tannery lands, which it acquired through a failed tax sale in 2006. However, the company has been unable to proceed with any kind of development. The City of Kingston is preparing to put the property on the market once again through a Request for Proposals (RFP), or it may take ownership if this scenario falls through. But before the RFP is issued, officials are holding visioning exercises to find out what type of development the stakeholders and community want to see. Common themes emerged from two visioning workshops held earlier this year; mixed residential uses, preserving some open space and waterfront trails. The so-called work plan that will determine the site’s development requirements will take a few more months to complete before the RFP is issued to the development community. An archaeology study, tree inven-

tory, utility capacity and amount of public open space are among the site investigations yet to be completed. The city has applied for a grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to help fund the ongoing site investigation studies. According to the most recent timeline, the city plans to issue an RFP by April 2014 and let council choose the winning proponent by next summer. City officials acknowledge there’s a stigma surrounding the Tannery lands - bordered by River Street to the south, Rideau Street to the west, Belle Park to the north and the Cataraqui River to the east – but it has never tried harder to unlock its potential for development and public access. There were two previous attempts to clean-up and develop the site – in the 1980s and by the current owners – but they were unsuccessful. “An impediment in both cases has been the uncertainty regarding the costs required to fund the clean up of the site and the private sector’s ability to fund the clean up,” according to a report by MHBC, a consulting firm hired by the city to assist in establishing a new vision for the property. Any future developer/owner would be eligible for grants and tax relief under the city’s Brownfields program.
four full-time staff. Coleman says the city’s initial offer of emergency funding came with too many strings attached in what was viewed as a fee-for-service arrangement. To receive the money the group had to; develop a sustainable business model, catalogue its collection of more than one million artefacts and complete cultural interpretive material to be used for the Kingston Remembers program. “These were fairly amazing strings that we couldn’t cope with,” said Coleman, who says he didn’t realize the extent of the conditions until after the funding was approved. The organization that once dug up the dirt on Kingston’s past found itself into a deep financial hole due to increasing competition for archaeological services. “Thirty years ago we were the only game in town. The whole archaeological scene has since become very competitive,” Coleman explained. CARF was especially counting on an archaeological contract during the extension of the Highway 407 toll road east of Pickering. “That would’ve kept us going with at least $100,000 in funding.” He says many international companies and developers have their own in-house archaeology experts to do excavation and assessment work on projects, which cut into CARF’s
for-hire services. The organization was also a repository for artefacts, while providing education, presentations and research opportunities for academics and students – much of it done free of charge. Councillors have lauded CARF’s free-for-service business model even though it contributed to the group’s demise. Coleman believes the city can still play a role in securing future storage for the collection to ensure it doesn’t get scattered around the province. Though he wouldn’t confirm ongoing talks with the city, he suggested some of the $30,000 can still be used to preserve the collection in keeping with the spirit of council’s original motion. However, that decision ultimately rests with council. In the meantime, CARF’s volunteers are examining every box in storage to try and contact the owners of the artefacts who will get the first opportunity to take the items or leave them. Instead of sifting through dirt, volunteers are left sifting through the phone book. Coleman remains optimistic most of the collection will remain intact: “I don’t believe the archaeologists are going to be anxious to take possession of material they excavated 20 years ago.” But he says preserving the rights and responsibilities of the owners is just as important as preserving the collection itself.

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, August 8, 2013 7
editorial
Helicopter vs. free range Hollie Pratt-Campbell Reporter
@hollieprattcamp
EMC Editorial - When I was a child, my family lived about six or seven blocks away from my elementary school in one of Kingston’s safest neighbourhoods. The cozy, tree-lined streets were all equipped with sidewalks, and we knew at least one family on every block. Every morning and afternoon, I would catch glimpses of my classmates walking to and from school from the window of my family’s car. Oh, how I longed to join them. How wonderful it must feel to be entrusted with enough independence to get yourself back and forth from school on your own. To be fair, my parents always made it clear that it wasn’t me they didn’t trust. They just wanted to be cautious, and do everything in their power to make sure no evil befell me. “Are you saying that Aurora’s and Liz’s parents care less about them?� I would protest, knowing this was the one argument in my arsenal they had trouble responding to. Finally, when I was nine years old, my parents caved and let me walk with my friend Liz to her house after school. (There was only one “busy� street to cross, as opposed to the two en route to
our place, and it had a crossing guard.) Excited by this newfound freedom, I convinced Liz that we should stop at the corner store for candy before heading to her place. It was a bit of a detour, but the whole walk still only took about 15 minutes. As it turned out, our little shopping trip caused me a ton of grief. Unbeknownst to me, my mom decided to follow Liz and me on our walk – from a safe distance, of course, in the car – and she was some ticked to find that not only was I endangering myself by going farther than we had agreed on, but I was also not being entirely honest with her and my dad. It was almost two years before I got to do any non-adult-supervised activity again. Today, we have a name for parents like mine: helicopter parents. The term is usually used in a derogatory manner to describe moms and dads who constantly “hover� over their children, obsessively attempting to make sure nothing bad ever happens to them. The increasing prevalence of helicopter parenting even spawned a rebuttal movement called “free range parenting�. The term was coined by New York journalist Lenore Skenazy in response to the vitriolic backlash she received after writing a column about letting her nine-year-old ride the subway by himself. I came across Skenzay’s website, Free Range Kids, when I was pregnant with Summer, trying to get a feel for the modern parenting culture I would soon part of. The website features posts in which
parents vent about the culture of helicopter parenting and extol the benefits of giving children more freedom. Like virtually everyone I know who is not – or not yet - a parent, I saw free range parenting as the ideal way to raise a child. Drawing on my own experience of never being granted any freedom until I was basically a teenager, I hoped my kids could know what it feels like to be considered mature, autonomous individuals from a significantly younger age. Since becoming a parent, I still see free range parenting as a good thing, but I also sympathize more with how nerveracking it must be to watch your little nine-year-old walk down the street on her own for the first time. I want Summer to be as independent as possible from a young age because I believe independence breeds maturity. At the same time, if anything were ever to happen to her as a result, I know I would always blame myself for not being protective enough. I’m sure these two conflicting sides of the issue will battle it out in my brain over the years, and as Summer grows up I will in all likelihood fall somewhere between a helicopter and free range parent. As always, I am interested in hearing some of your opinions. How much freedom do you think should we be giving young children? At what age should they be able to walk to school, hang out at the mall or go to the movies without an adult? What kind of approach has worked well, or not, for your family?
In Our Opinion
To serve and to‌pull the trigger? EMC Editorial - The world watched in disbelief when a cell-phone video depicting the final moments of Sammy Yatim’s young life surfaced on the internet. Likely suffering from some kind of mental breakdown, 18-year-old Yatim stood alone on a Toronto Transit streetcar wielding a pocket knife when a Toronto Police officer discharged nine bullets from his service weapon, six of which were fired after the victim had clearly been incapacitated by the first three. To make matters worse, there were 21 other officers in the vicinity of the streetcar, and a Taser could not have been more than five minutes away. There are many questions to be answered here: Why did the police officer, now identified as James Forcillo, feel there was sufficient danger to use lethal force? And, why did he feel he had to use so much of it? Perhaps the most pressing question of all: what steps will be taken to ensure that this never happens again? What is clear is that local authorities immediately acknowledged the severity and point-blank brutality of the act that had been committed. An investigator could be heard instructing officers to “get me Forcilloâ€? minutes after the shooting occurred. The next day, Police Chief Bill Blair notified the press that the officer in question had been suspended with pay until further notice. Security experts agree that immediate suspensions of uniformed officers are practically without precedent in these cases. But beyond this gesture, what other actions will be taken? Given the way that these scenarios have played out in the past, few are likely. Ontario ombudsman Andre Morin commented that police cooperation in these cases is rare. Last year, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) issued 19 letters to the Toronto police chief for issues such as failure to notify the SIU, tampering with evidence, and police lawyers writing notes on an officer’s behalf. To this date they have yet to receive a single reply. This isn’t some gritty TV crime-drama delving into the seedy underbelly of where crime meets politics. These flagrant injustices are happening in the real world, in real time, and won’t stop until the public demands justice. We believe that if Forcillo acted contrary his training, he should be held responsible under the full weight of the law. Officers invested with the power to kill must also have the knowledge that this power comes with the highest responsibility to protect life.

Local Coalition helps families with back-to-school supplies
Dear Editor,Kourier-Standard to choose between paying their rent Kanata or utility bills and feeding their
July will soon be slipping into August and students and parents will be turning their thoughts towards school. Clothing, backpacks and school supplies – the basics to begin the new school year – will be an additional financial challenge for low-income families. Those on social assistance lost their Back-to-School and Winter Clothing Allowances in 2008. And with recent cutbacks to discretionary benefits and changes to Rent and Utility Bank rules restricting eligibility and the amount of assistance, families will feel the squeeze more than ever. Too many will have
kids, with no funds leftover to purchase necessary school supplies. To put the need in perspective, Kingston’s Food Sharing Project on a single day in March 2013, provided over 4500 breakfasts, lunches, and snacks to hungry Kingston students. Having adequate school supplies is not only crucial to successful learning but also for a child’s selfesteem. In a consumer society that judges us by the material goods we have, children whose parents can’t afford to meet the standard run the risk of embarrassment and exclusion.
Arnprior Chronicle-Guide
West Carleton Review
But help is available. For the 13th year in a row, the Social Issues Networking Group (SING) -- a coalition dedicated to improving the social and economic well-being of families -- will be providing school supplies and backpacks for students in the Kingston area. SING began its Back-to-School program in response to a growing number of requests from parents looking for help from schools, community workers, and others to purchase items for school. Last year SING served over 700 students attending 85 schools in the Kingston and the area. SING hopes to assist at least that many students with school supplies
again this year. But with no independent funding, the group depends on community support. Over the years, the community has always responded with overwhelming generosity. The Back-to-School Campaign has received support from local businesses, retired teachers, faith groups, service clubs, labour unions, community organizations, and individual citizens. Please support the Campaign again this year. You can drop off your cheque or donation of school supplies to Rising Heights, 253 Weller Avenue, or mail a cheque to Kingston Community Health Centres: Back-toSchool Campaign, 400 Elliott Avenue, Kingston, ON K7K 6M9.

Wolfe Island a Busy Place this summer By Margaret Knott Correspondent
EMC news- Half way through the summer season, Wolfe Island is busier than ever. Every hour the Wolfe Islander 111 arrives at the island dock delivering hundreds of people, many walkers, cyclists and motor cyclists, cars, trucks and service vehicles. Within minutes the dock is cleared and the ferry departs Wolfe Island with, you guessed it, a full load of traffic, and oft times, many left behind. Just yesterday a group of more than 100 cyclists came to Wolfe Island from Cape Vincent aboard Horne’s Ferry. They were members of the STIHL ( chain saws) Tour des Trees, annual (1992), 500 + mile, international fund raising cycling event . The tour launched July 28th from Niagara Falls, with cyclists travelling through upstate New York, then on through southern Ontario to conclude August 3rd at Toronto Island. This enthusiastic group of all ages and from many different places have a passion for trees and cycling and according to their web site: ”every full-Tour participant commits to raising a minimum of $3,500 for the TREE Fund research and education programs in addition to pedaling 500+ miles in a week, rain or shine. “ “Its all about keeping trees healthy and strong in our urban communities everywhere,” added one cyclist who said that tree plantings/ public awareness events are part of the fund raising tour. This group was identifiable in their distinctive T-shirts and with their bicycles, as are many other cycling groups who come. Ever wonder where every one else goes when they come to the island? Of course, cottagers welcomed by the community, double the islands population every summer. Big Sandy Bay is a very popular destination, as is a trip from Wolfe Island to Cape Vincent via Horne’s ferry. The WI Wind Farm, the Riverview Golf Course and the Corn Maze are all open well into the fall. Along with the visiting public, the August long weekend in August, along with the regular visiting public, brings with it family and friends from everywhere for Family Ball Tournament. This event is bigger than Christmas in terms of the number who make the trip. They, along with trailers, vans, and tents, are a welcome sight as families get together. The Wolfe Island Music Festival will bring hundreds to the island. Most will walk onto the ferry. These folks are generally very identifiable by their enthusiasm. The (Aug.17) Scene of the Crime Festival , plus the WI Fibre Fest and Ploughing Match in September, will also draw great numbers to the island.
It is safe to say that islanders worry about the ferry, the long waits, emergency calls and how to become more self sufficient. They are anxious about getting agricultural crops, animals and everything else off the island as required, in a timely fashion, and in receiving equipment, supplies, parts, etc. to the island, also in a timely fash-
ion. At the same time… Marysville always WELCOMES visitors to its restaurants, hotel, B&B’s, and businesses , to the Stone Heron Gallery, the Old House Museum, gift shops, and to all the island has to offer. Come. Enjoy. (and maybe walk on?)

EMC Lifestyle - For nearly 25 years, the Wolfe Island Bakery has been a Kingston Public Market staple. They began selling their baked goods at the market in 1989, and currently keep a rain-or-shine market presence four days a week: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. For the time being, the bakery does not supply any local restaurants. Still, the market stall’s range of biscuits, squares and pretzels make it a popular stop for lunchtime and breaks during the workweek. The bakery began as a McIntosh family business in 1980 at the original location just off the ferry in Marysville on the island. “We also have a location in Kingston,” says vendor Nancy McIntosh, who has been with the bakery more than 20 years. The Kingston location opened in 1995 at 311 Queen Street. Though the bakery is no longer strictly a family business, the McIntoshes are still deeply involved in most areas of the operation. The Wolfe Island Bakery offers a wide variety of bread, rolls, pies, brownies, pretzels, and much more. When asked about the best-sellers, Nancy pauses thoughtfully. “Our butter tarts for sure, and our Red River bread.” The famed Red River bread is made with whole-wheat flour, cracked wheat, cracked rye, flax seed, sugar, yeast, and salt. “It’s all I buy!” says one market-goer. “The big cookies are big sellers as well,” Nancy goes on. The bakery also offers dog treats, gluten-free flatbreads, dairy-free options, specialty cakes, homemade jams and a wide range of other custom items. The baked goods are made fresh daily on market days. The Kingston location also offers café-style dining for breakfast, lunch, and desserts. Options include breakfast burritos, French toast, chili, garlic bread, a choice of three soups and more. “I think it’s really good to support small business,” says McIntosh of why Kingstonians should feel proud to buy local food. “That’s number one. Number two, you know what you’re getting.” McIntosh believes that locals can be confident that they are

mittee meets and chooses which proposals they might be interested in, and then those applicants are invited to submit a full application,” explained grants coordinator Vera Kettnaker. “The committee will then decide which projects they want to support and figure out how much money to give them. Then we have a ceremony and they receive their cheques and they go off and do fabulous work.” Since its inception in 1995, the Community Foundation has awarded approximately 800 community grants, and about $6 million in total funding. Together with the 180 Community Foundations in Canada, they bring together people who care about their communities. “What the foundation does in general is really promote philanthropy in the community,” added Bailey. “We try to connect donors with causes that they are passionate about. We have a huge range of areas that we support and we really look, with the community grants, to a 360-degree funding model.” This means that the Community Foundation supports projects in arts and culture, community development, education and literacy, environment, health and social services, heritage preservation and recreation and youth. “With this huge range of projects, we really hope that all geographical regions can get involved and submit proposals,” Bailey said. The Foundation looks for new and innovative programs each season, and this time around they hope to see more applicants from the Frontenac region. “The purpose of the organiza-
tion is to improve quality of life and the more we can do that the better,” said Kettnaker. “We love receiving new applications and seeing new initiatives each year. We do get organizations that apply each year, which is great, but we really like to see new applicants and know that we are reaching new areas of the communities we serve,” The number of grants given each time depends on the donations and their amount and allocation. “Funding is through donations to our grant fund, or we have specific donors that want to give to specific areas,” explained Bailey. “We really look at the proposals that come in and focus on tying them to specific donations and funds that are allocated to those areas. We also sometimes get donors that want their money to stay in a specific area or region, so we try to make that happen as well.” All grants need to be to a charitable organization, but both Bailey and Kettnaker urge potential grantees to not get discouraged if they are not part of an organization. “The funding does need to go to a charitable organization, but that being said, there are instances where groups will partner with an organization, so we fund the organization through them. It is really important that people don’t get discouraged just because they are not part of a charitable organization. We are here if they have questions and can help out so that they can submit their ideas and we can fund more projects.” For more information on the guidelines for proposals and how to submit visit www.cfka.org

Kingston Kobras show that hard work really does pay off By: Mandy Marciniak Correspondent
EMC Sports - After a particularly grueling first season in 2012, the Kingston Kobras Mite Girls’ Select Softball Team has turned things around and shown that hard work and dedication really do get results and improvements. Jon Swaine is head coach for the team and was behind starting it up last year. “We had a group of girls who wanted to play outside of the house league, and they had just graduated from the junior mite league,” he said. “Myself and two other coaches, Rob Clark and Kirk Weatherdon, decided that we would form a select team to allow those who wanted to keep playing to do so.” At the time it seemed like a great idea, but after playing in a few games Swaine wasn’t so sure: “We didn’t realize how competitive the league would be when we started, but after a few tournaments and getting stomped, we realized what we were up against. Although we lost a lot last year the girls had fun and became much more competitive in the process.” As a result of their rocky start, Swaine and his assistant coaches decided to train the girls in the off-season. “Over the winter
last year we got a gym and trained all season in preparation for this year,” he explained. “We taught the girls the basic skills - catching, hitting, passing - and we improved a lot. So this year, with our training and our now second year players, we saw a lot of improvement.” The team has improved greatly, picking up silver medals in both of the tournaments they competed in and Swaine couldn’t be prouder: “We have only lost two games and the girls have been really excited with the results of their training and hard work. We’ve been really busy with tournaments and our schedule has been pretty full, but the girls are loving it and just want to play more. We have two more tournaments coming up including the grand championships on Aug. 16 and 17.”

No matter what the results of the season are, Swaine is enjoying coaching and watching the girls and seeing the team grow. “The most rewarding part for me is seeing how far these girls have come over this past season,” he said. “It is really rewarding when they think that they can’t do something and then they work hard and they achieve it. They are achieving new goals each week and seeing that their hard work is getting them the results they want. When a player makes a play that they thought they couldn’t they are so excited and are just beaming with happiness and excitement. That for me is the best part.” The team is also looking to expand its roster and will be holding tryouts for interested players in the fall.

Saving soles
“I really look at the shoe and what’s needed to make things work for the person,” said Sothmann. “I know what I have to do with a shoe. But it’s so nice to hear how I impact your life.” In addition to hand crafting shoes, repairing shoes and fitting orthotics, Sothmann can repair just about anything involving leather: handbags, leather goods, belts, even guitar straps. “I specialize in orthopedic alterations,” he said. “That’s where my education is. But for the most part, I do standard shoe repair and leather goods repair. I sew things up that other people may not touch.” He’s fixed backpacks and sewn badges on hats. He said he doesn’t do any diagnosis. That’s left to the hands of medical professionals. But once there’s a diagnosis and a special need in footwear, Sothmann gets a referral and takes over the development and fitting. He noted that a diverse range of people use his services. “Generally, about 70% are women,” he said. “A large part of shoe repair work is done for women. And university students make up a fairly large portion of business. I may be fixing heels or soles or fixing a ripped zipper in something. I repair a lot of rips and tears in leather and other patchwork. In March I get a lot of people coming in wanting that pair of boots to just last them through the winter. They don’t want to buy something new for just a few weeks.” He said he always tries to be fair in pricing and making sure customers understand what they’re getting. “I try to be as consistent as possible in pricing and the type of work I do,” he said. “You really want to have the cost of the repair reflective of the materials and time you put in. People like to know what to expect. I try to do the small things that make a big difference. If I’m patching a shoe, I try to blend the colors as much as possible so they end up as close as possible to looking new after a professional job.” He said he sometimes see items that have been repaired in the past where the job wasn’t up to professional standards. “I’ve seen stuff with stitching all crazy and crooked,” he said. “I want everything to be straight and clean when I return it to the customer. I do quality work and try my best to find ways to work with modern materials. Sometimes people think something can’t be fixed, but I try my best and work with it. If it’s really not worth it, I say so.
I try to find solutions for what people want and what it’s worth to them.” His efforts, positive customer service and quality work are paying off. “It’s been busier than I thought it would be so far,” he said. “The bulk of my work is really just people coming in off the street. Wordof-mouth has been the biggest thing. Rodney Sothmann at work in his Mont real Street shop, Kings That and an Service. ton Shoe Repair and Or thopedic Shoe Internet pres Ph oto/Mark Bergin ence.

They’d been to the farmers’ market and were on their way home. They chatted briefly and then, with a quick goodbye kiss, Bridget’s on her way with the wee ones. It’s a nice scene. I

EMC Lifestyle - Rodney Sothmann is a shoemaker and cobbler (repairer of shoes). He’s not the expected somewhat elfish character bent over his equipment in a dark room. The youngish-looking Sothmann (he’s 34) is a friendly, welcoming fellow working in a well-lit space fronting Montreal Street near Princess Street. He’s the new shoe repair and orthopedics kid in town. He opened his shop, Kingston Shoe Repair and Orthopedic Shoe Service, last October. He was born in Brockville and grew up near Spencerville, Ontario. He headed to Montreal with the intention of obtaining a university degree. “I worked a lot of jobs and got into shoe repair,” he said. “Since I started, I’ve stayed in the field. He entered the career by serendipitous circumstances. He answered a job application and after getting hired he realized he liked the work. He liked it so much that he applied to George Brown College in Toronto for their program to become an orthotic/prosthetic technician. In the summer of 2008, he was hired by Kingston’s Active Orthopedic Solutions. He returned to Toronto to finish his last year of college then started full-time work as an orthotic technician and orthopedic shoe technician at Active Orthopedic in 2009. Last year, he struck out on his own, but maintains a friendly relationship with Active Orthopedic. “In Montreal, I’d done lifts for people with short legs and in school I did a placement at Sunnybrook Centre for Active Living,” he said. “I was exposed to a lot of custom footwear and learned a lot about modifications. But making orthotics and how to fit the bracing of a shoe I really learned at Active Orthotics.” One of his customers, John Carr, who was in the shop when I visited, requires specialized footwear following extensive foot surgery. “Rodney’s awesome,” said Carr. “His work for me has been amazing. I’d recommend Rodney 100 per cent. “ Carr turned and looked at Sothmann. “I’m partial to your work,” said Carr. “I couldn’t work myself if someone like you couldn’t fix my shoes. In my job, I’m on my feet all day. My legs can bother me so badly. Without someone like you, I couldn’t even stand up.” Sothmann looked taken aback for a moment.

Meet Your Market Vendor: Freedom Farm held by Will and Sharon Freeman. In 2008, the couple took a leap of faith and left their successful careers – Sharon published the
magazine 55 Plus and Will ran his family’s business – in order to start their very own vegetable farm, which is located in Battersea.

“When we got to a certain age we decided we would have to make the dream a reality if we were ever going to fulfill it,” Will says. “So we took stock of where we were at and decided we thought we could take the leap and we did - and so far so good.” The Freemans grow a full range of vegetables, beginning with radishes and greens in the spring and continuing on to produce like tomatoes, potatoes, garlic and squash as the growing season progresses. The idea to start a farm was originally inspired by the couple’s involvement in the local food movement. “We became increasingly aware of how the local food system is so fragile,” Will explains. “And I have a horticultural degree, and so I was really interested in compost and soils and the organic stuff.” The Freemans operate a community supported agriculture (CSA) program, in addition to running a booth at the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market every Sunday. “We waited until the fourth year before we started [coming to the market],” Will says. “I think just we were too busy doing too many other things – getting the CSA started up and all that. We didn’t want to spread ourselves too thin.” The idea that the Memorial Centre market, which opened last year, is made up of only local producers was also appealing to Will and Sharon. “We knew it was farmers only
and that interested us,” Will says. “I’ve really enjoyed it because you get to meet local farmers and discuss the ongoing challenges of farming, and then beyond that, [customers] can put a face to the farm. I find that by consistently being here we’re getting regular customers that really seem appreciative of what we’re doing, so it leaves us with a good feeling to be part of that.” Indeed, Freeman notes that he and Sharon are passionate about spreading awareness of why it is important to buy local. “If people are always looking for the cheapest price [and not considering] what it costs a farmer to live in that local area, it is to the detriment of society,” he says. “Farmers take a lot of risk to do what they do, and without support of people realizing what it costs to do that it’s scary what could happen. People need to really think about the local food system and they really need to think about farmers and preserving that part of our society. ” As for the name of his own farm: “I get asked a lot what it means,” Freeman notes, explaining that it’s partly a play on their last name, and partly ironic. “You’re really chained to farming when you do it, so there’s nothing really free about it,” he says with a laugh. “But also, I think in our middle age we were free to pursue this and so we felt some freedom in that choice, so I think that’s as good an answer as any.”

Mother’s war on houseflies was on for another year Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca
EMC Lifestyle - This time of year, Mother engaged in a never-ending battle with the housefly. She thought every fly on earth was put there to carry germs and contaminate whatever surface it happened to land on. Many of our neighbours hung strips of sticky stuff from their ceilings, but Mother would have no part of them. No siree! Most of these strips were hung over the kitchen tables, since that seemed to be where the flies accumulated, and if one fly ever had the misfortune of falling off and landing on the oil cloth, or heaven forbid, a piece of food, the entire table would have to be cleared, scoured, and whatever food it neared, scraped into Sport’s dog dish at the back door! And so, the strips were never used in our kitchen! Every summer Father hauled the screen door from the drive shed where it had been stored over winter, and he hung it with a tight spring attached. In fact, the spring, on Mother’s insistence, was so taut that if you weren’t quick enough getting into the house, you could lose a leg, or be maimed for life! That was just another way of making sure a stray fly didn’t get in with us. There was never enough money to buy fly swatters, and Mother insisted we each have one. So they were homemade. Fashioned out of narrow slats of wood, with layers of green cheese cloth, or sometimes, very fine screening attached on the end between more small slats, the swatters worked just fine. They were stationed on the bench at the back door, and each of us was commanded to have ours at the ready, just in case a fly managed
At least once a week Mother had what we called her murderous attack on the common housefly. It didn’t matter how careful we were, how quickly we slammed the screen door, how diligent we were with the swatters, the flies always managed to come into the house. And when Mother couldn’t stand it any longer, she would announce at the
breakfast table that this was the day! She would cast her eyes around the kitchen, and we wouldn’t even have to ask her just what day that would be. We knew without a doubt, it was the day Mother would be attacking the flies that managed, in spite of our best efforts to keep them out, got into the house. That meant no one, not even if the house was on fire, was allowed inside until Mother was finished with what my sister Audrey called “her murderous attack.” There was a big tin can of fly tox in the summer kitchen, and on the shelf was a contraption that had a container at one end, and a handle and cylinder at the other. Mother filled the can to capacity, put a white towel around her head, went into the kitchen slamming the doors behind her, and the attack began.

The newspapers would be taken off the cooled Findlay Oval, rolled up and crammed into its fire box, Audrey would get the broom, and I stood at the ready with the dust pan, and the sweep-up began. The flies didn’t have a chance. Audrey would sweep up the dead bodies; I would take the dustpan to the stove, amazed at how many had fallen under Mother’s attack. Mother would light a match to the papers in the stove after piling on a couple sticks from the wood box, and soon the Findlay Oval would be raging. The smell of the fly tox hung in the air for hours, but that didn’t seem to bother Mother in the least. The deed was done for a short spell. But alas, the never-ending battle against the housefly continued until the frost hit the farm at the end of the summer.

I would often look in the kitchen window from my post outside, and there would be Mother furiously pumping the handle into the cylinder and pouring out what would be a burst of fog-like spray that hung in the air like gossamer curtains. I have no idea how Mother didn’t choke to death! As soon as she thought she had sprayed enough fly tox into the cavity of the kitchen, she would come out onto the back stoop, gasping for breath, the perspiration pouring down her face like falling rain, and a look of complete satisfaction on her beetred face. Then she would collapse into the twig chair, still with the spray can in her hand, and fan her face with the tail of her apron. We had to wait for ages before anyone was allowed back in the kitchen, and when we were, the grand clean-up began.

to enter the house while we came in through the screen door. In the summer time, any food on the bake table, prepared for our next meal, was covered with spanking clean flour bag tea towels. And when the bowls were moved over to the kitchen table, the towels stayed put. It was like a mystery trying to decide which mound of white held the meat, potatoes or vegetables. Father thought Mother went too far when it came to the common housefly. He insisted the Haneman family had managed to survive in spite of them for generations! Mother said, “And that’s a miracle in itself.” She pointed out to Father all he had to do was go out to the cow byre and see the swarms of flies covering the cows’ backsides and the manure. He would know what, if flies were allowed inside, were brought into the house...right into the kitchen, where the very food we were putting in our mouths was there for the taking! OOD &

KEDCO Summer Company: combining business and human rights with Something Borrowed Boutique By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
EMC Business - When Carleton University student Amelia Chand returned home to Kingston for the summer, she found herself facing a pretty grim job market. “I wanted to work for the summer to save up for school, but there were just no jobs in Kingston,” she remarks. So, with the help of KEDCO’s summer company program, Chand created her own job by combining several of her passions: business, human rights and clothing. Her company, a secondhand clothing store called Something Borrowed Boutique, operates out of Fort Henry’s Trade Square. “It’s been a decent location,” she says. “I like it compared to what I was going to do, which was just run it out of my garage. It works having a little storefront.” Chand notes that it’s wonderful to
be able to make money doing something she loves. “I really like used clothing because I think it’s a rising trend right now to shop vintage and shop used,” she says. “It’s a lot better for the environment and pieces are really unique. You don’t find a lot of new stuff that’s made nowadays that will last long, [let alone be fashionable for long].” Part of Chand’s goal is to help reduce the stigma associated with buying used clothing. “Some people just don’t like buying second hand,” she says. “Either they think that the clothing is dirty, or that it’s just not nice or trendy enough. I find that there are pieces of clothing that are just timeless, and that’s what I would like to promote.” In addition to being more affordable, Chand explains that second hand clothing allows customers to contribute to a better world, as they are not supporting the infamously less-thanethical fashion industry.
“You’re not endorsing sweat shops,” she points out, noting the recent tragedy in Bangladesh where many workers died as a result of unsafe working conditions in a Joe Fresh factory. “That killed a lot of people, and it was brought to light that there are still a lot of sweat shops around. If you get cheap clothing, it’s cheap for a reason. It was made in a sweat shop where they don’t pay proper wages.” Not only that, Chad explains that many mainstream clothing chains also discriminate when it comes to size. A prime example: Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries was recently quoted saying he does not want fat people wearing his company’s clothing. As a result of this mindset, the sizes carried by the store are very limited. “They really restrict their sizes for bigger or even average-sized people,” Chand says. “Even average-sized people can’t really find clothing there because they
would probably be a large and that would just turn them off. People don’t want to buy a large when they know they’re not a large.” By contrast, Chand makes a point to carry a wide range of sizes at Something Borrowed Boutique. “When I get my vintage clothes, everything’s a different size,” she says, adding that she also carries items for all ages. “I have some little girls’ clothing, clothing for teens and clothing for older women. That’s another thing I’m doing is getting some stuff for older people, because the demographic [at Fort Henry] isn’t super young and you have to accommodate for different people.” In addition, Chand carries a wide range of accessories.
She hopes that Something Borrowed Boutique will be the first step in a long career in either business or human rights. “I’m definitely growing and spreading my wings,” Chand says. “I’d really like to get a job in business in the future, or even work for the [United Nations].” Chand invites everyone to come visit Something Borrowed Boutique at Fort Henry. She notes that there is no fee to enter the historic site, and that people are more than welcome to come wander around the fort and check out the shops and restaurants.

EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO EXCELLENCE
Jackman shines again in latest Wolverine film By Mark Haskins My Take
EMC Entertainment - The Wolverine is exactly how you do a movie about Wolverine. Exactly. After being forced to kill Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) Logan (Hugh Jackman) has gone into seclusion. He’s turned away from the world vowing to never hurt anyone again. Then again, it doesn’t matter if you turn away from the world because the world sometimes comes looking for you. Logan’s past comes for him in the form of a young woman named Yukio (Rila Fukushima). She has come on behalf of her adoptive grandfather, Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), who’s dying and wishes to say goodbye to the man who once saved him. Somewhat reluctantly Logan agrees to fly to Japan and meet with the old man. During World War II Logan was a prisoner just outside Nagasaki when events led to him saving a young Japanese officer just as the bomb was dropped. Now Yashida wants to repay Logan by giving him the one thing he
thinks Logan wants; his mortality. Yashida wants to transfer Logan’s amazing healing ability into himself thus extending his own life and allowing Logan to live a normal one. Logan turns down Yashida’s offer, but it appears not to matter as the old man passes soon after,
but well placed one-liners. Mangold does a brilliant job of bringing the comic book action to life in larger-than-life sequences that are only possible in a world with superheroes. He also balances the action with a story that truly highlights this often times tragic hero. This film really captures what this character is about. No one else is ever going to be able to take on this role. Hugh Jackman has made Wolverine all his own. He’s nailed the look, the delivery, the swagger, and the penchant for violence. He’s also nailed the sadness, the grief and the nobility. While I wasn’t very familiar with most of the cast I was impressed by them. Tao Okamoto falls into the role of Mariko with extreme grace. Rila Fukushima is perfect as Logan’s sidekick Yukio. Viper Svetlana Khodchenkova exudes both venom and evil. Hal Yamanouchi is fantastic as Yashida. Of course the big treat for me was seeing Famke Jannsen return as Jean Grey. It may have only been in Logan’s dreams, but she was still great. The Wolverine is awesome. ‘Nuff said.
MOVIE: The Wolverine STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Famke Janssen and Hal Yamanouchi DIRECTOR: James Mangold RATING: PG and Logan prepares to go home. Then at the funeral the Yakuza make an attempt to kill Yashida’s granddaughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto), and Logan is right in the thick of it again. Logan jumps into the fray, but something isn’t right. His wounds aren’t healing. He still manages to save Mariko, but Logan needs to find out what’s really going on if he and Mariko are going to survive. The Wolverine does everything right. It is full of action and violence with just a hint of romance and sadness, and a few sparsely
Rockport Prohibition Days begins Aug. 16 By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

RDG is a non-profit organization, formed in 2007 to preserve Rockport’s history and enhance it as a draw for tourism. “You only get one change to make a big impression,” and this festival will make that impression a good one. “Initially it was just big ideas, now it can be a reality,” he said of what casino funding has done for the RDG and by extension, the community. “Harsh economic times, and a history of boatbuilding and river life in the maze of the Thousand Islands, provided a setting in Rockport in which ordinary river folk were lured to become daring ‘rum runners’ by night. The inventiveness and adventures of the smugglers has become lore woven into our local culture,” notes http://www.rockportthousandislands. com.

Kitchen Kreations
Kate Kristiansen
Homemade Designs - Made with Butter and Love The café opened as part of a cooperative for brides to meet and discuss potential wedding cakes. “My son Ben makes beautiful cakes under the name of ‘Ben’s Cakes n’ Bakes’,” said Ellena, her eyes beaming and full of pride. “Designing and making cakes became a passion we both shared. It seemed like a logical next step to open the retail shop to assist with demand.” With many years’ experience in the catering, hospitality and food industries, it was always a goal of Ellena’s to have her own place, and she decided to take the leap of faith. She soon realized this was going to be more than just a cake shop. Customers came for the café and all its delights. Ellena’s has a full lunch menu with daily features including soup of the day, quiche, sandwiches and sweet things made, whenever possible, from good local ingredients. “It surprised me,” Ellena said. “I honestly didn’t expect this. The café has evolved and grown. I enjoy our many loyal customers and my staff who make coming to work so much fun. I want this café to be a second home to each one of them.” Making each guest feel welcome is one of Ellena’s goals. “Living in a small town you really get to know your customers,” she said. “My staff and I try new things. It could be peanut butter pie or raspberry
coconut squares, but something new is always coming out of the oven.” No time to muster up dinner? No problem. Drop by Ellena’s and pick up a tasty meal, enough for the whole family, from the take-out fridge. Or call ahead to pre-order a special request. Catering is also available – no event is too small or big. “We do lunch for weekly book clubs, executive meetings, staff parties and weddings – on site in our event room or we can come to you,” said Ellena. “Each menu is tailored to fit the nature of the event and budget. We can do casual or fresh, contemporized ideas.” Advanced orders are preferred. Most are ready and available for pick-up the same day. When you are unable to cook those favorite family recipes, give them to Ellena to recreate them for you. Your secrets are safe. She would be happy in the knowledge that your family has not missed out. Traditions and family are what matters. Indeed, the café is definitely an extension of her own family. Ellena is the wife of Dan Fleury whose family owns the long-time Napanee business Paul’s Pizzeria. She is also mom to Ben, 16, and Nick, 11. You will even discover the original Ellena, (Ellena’s mother) helping out in the café and greeting customers. In April 2013, the café expanded
and welcomed a new addition to their cooperative, Vignettes Home Décor and Vintage Finds. Helen Kosmopolous-Rogina has over 17 years in home furnishing and design experience as manager of Pier One and Urban Barn stores in Toronto. Helen is a new mom to Nicholas and an artist in her own right through her commissioned paintings and unique designs. Helen’s family owns La Pizzeria, (the other best pizza in town). “It’s long been my dream to have my own store,” said Helen. “Upon returning to my hometown of Napanee, I had a vision of Vignettes, a home décor and vintage store. When Ellena approached me with the opportunity to see this become a reality I was thrilled.” Vignettes is filled with happy discoveries of old and new. The shelves are filled with handmade pillows, recycled vintage items and the latest trends. Each corner is a different vignette showcasing how you can transform a room. The best part is, if you are unsure you can ask the expert. Helen is available for in-store for consultations and advice. Helen has a unique way of creating something interesting and fresh. Walk through the store and notice the detail and placement of items. Recently, I needed a room in my home updated. With only a picture and some colour themes, she sourced
fabrics for pillows and enhanced the space in ways I could never have imagined. Vignettes supports the art community showcasing, a new local artist each month. It’s worth a drop-in as things change all the time. New seasons bring new trends. “I am really excited,” said Helen. “The summer has offered a chance for people to shop for the cottage. With fall approaching, we have stock arriving with new colours and ideas for the home. I like natural, authentic designs and sourcing products you can’t find anywhere else.” Ellena’s Café and Vignettes is a warm, friendly place to experience fresh ideas for the home and delicious food.

R0012245728
EMC Lifestyle - A visit to Ellena’s café and Vignettes at 16 Dundas Street in Napanee is an experience as warm and comforting as freshly baked cookies. The service is friendly, the food is good, and the interior is filled with unique, handmade designs. I visit for long lunches, when I’m shopping for unique gifts or when I need dessert for a dinner party. Everyone can tell it’s from Ellena’s. The signature recipes are one of a kind and cannot be recreated. “Our customers are from all over,” said Ellena Fluery, owner of Ellena’s. “Not just the Napanee region, as far as Kingston, Toronto, Montreal.” On my last visit, I chatted with a customer at the counter choosing one of Ellena’s legendary coconut cream pies to take home. When asked where she hailed from. “We live in Toronto but have a cottage in Picton,” she explained. “We visit often during the summer and occasionally in the winter months. When we head to Belleville, we stop at Ellena’s for lunch and pick up some tasty treats for later.” I noted that it was a little out of the way to come to Napanee when going to Belleville. She looked at me puzzled and proclaimed: “Well, if we went a different way we would miss out on coming to Ellena’s café.” “Fair enough,” I said with a smile.

Places to explore and things to experience
A museum like no other Also on the upper floor, you’ll see the apartment where the blacksmith once lived. The two forges and anvil were working equipment in their day. The floor is the same wooden floor used by the blacksmith. The upstairs 1800s household was home to the Kilpatrick family while Mr. Kilpatrick worked as the blacksmith. It’s a cozy setting, wellequipped with a beautiful pump organ, a wood-burning cooking stove, and all the modern accoutrements of the era. There’s even an antique vacuum sweeper. As you push it, bellows move in and out, creating suction to form the vacuum effect. A handmade wooden children’s walker looks remarkably like modern versions with one notable exception: the seat appears too high for a child’s feet to touch the ground. That’s because there were dangerous things around that you wouldn’t want a child pushing themselves into–the woodstove for one. Then there are the otherworldly items and visitors. “The child’s casket has glass viewing windows,” said Janeway.”It was from the time before embalming. We know it dates to a time prior to the days of the American Civil War when embalming became popular. The casket sits in our funerary collection. We’ve also got the hearse windows from Sir John A. Macdonald’s funeral.” After numerous visitors reported witnessing apparitions in the museum, a paranormal research team from Prescott visited. “They were very impressed with their findings,” said Janeway. “There have been a lot of people reporting
they’ve seen a woman upstairs. I’ve never seen her. But we did have a couple of guys run out of the building after they saw this woman in white.” One of the museum’s most recent accomplishments is the publication of The Diary of Nell McCann. The diary is one woman’s journal of life in the Village of Westport in the early 1900s. Transcribed directly from Nell’s (Mary Ellen McCann, nee Martin) diary, the publication contains births, deaths, events and interesting happenings from 1912 to 1923. “That diary is one of our wonderful artifacts,” explained the curator. “But people come in and it’s in a case. Now they can purchase a copy. It recorded everything in the village, including people falling down elevator shafts, dropping dead in the streets and day to day life. It’s a valuable resource for genealogical research. It is hard to believe that so much cultural history is present in one small museum building. You won’t be disappointed with a visit to the Rideau District Museum. Directions: Take Division Street north from Kingston. It becomes Perth Road (County Road 10) north of the city. Follow it all the way to Westport. Proceed on County Rd 10 as it makes turns through Westport. Bedford Street runs off County Rd 10 on your left. One of the prettiest scenic sites in the region is along the east side of the road just south of Perth Road Village. Pull off and get your camera out. The scene is drastically different in each season. Hours: Daily until Labour Day: Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Sunday 1 to 4:30 p.m. After Labour Day, they’ll be open on weekends by chance. Cost: Museum admission is by donation.

EMC Lifestyle - Westport may be a small place, but visitors can spend a whole day exploring just a block or two of the historic village, especially if you drop in at the Rideau District Museum. The museum is housed in an original building from 1850. “The museum offers a great representation of local history,” said museum curator Christine Janeway. “There are a lot of unusual items that you won’t see anywhere else. For example, the human hair wreath. The only other one I’ve seen anywhere was at Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Niagara Falls. There are so many unique items here.” The museum is fortunate to have Janeway on staff. She was born and raised in Westport and knows the village well. People doing genealogical research have to look no further than Janeway for valuable Westport information. As you enter the museum, there’s a wooden statue, carved from a single piece of white cedar. The Statue of Justice, named Sally Grant, was raised to the top of the Brockville court building in 1845 and stood there for 110 years. The statue was headed for the dumps when she was rescued by one of the founding members of the Rideau District Museum in the 1960s. Sally was taken to the Conservation Institute in Ottawa for extensive restoration. The institute noted that she was the only outdoor carved wooden statue of her timeperiod known in Upper Canada and possibly North America. “To think she was nearly chopped up for firewood,” said Janeway. “But she’s here, fully restored.” The building that houses the museum first served as a coffin and funeral shop before being converted into a blacksmith and carriage works in 1861. It continued to operate as a blacksmith shop until it closed in 1961. Some think at least one of the early residents still resides in the shop. In the museum, you’ll see fascinating artifacts like a cart used in the building of the Rideau Canal, a Terrex one-legged shovel and a gallon Winchester. “The Rideau Canal cart is one of only three in existence,” said Janeway. The Terrex shovel was developed following the First World War for use by veterans who had become amputees during their active duty. The brass Winchester gallon container is the reason gallons are different in Canada and the United States. The measuring tool holds the current American gallon, which is different from the Canadian and British version. The brass Winchester became the legal gallon in England in 1703. The United States wanted to standardize measurements, so in 1821 the country adopted the brass Winchester as the standard, not realizing the Brits had plans to change to the Imperial gallon−which they did in 1824. And you’ll see something I’d never encountered anywhere: a footoperated milking machine from the early days of a dairy farm. On the second floor, a McLaugh-

Do you know what your kids are doing this summer? By Jeff Maguire
EMC Lifestyle – The dog days of summer are upon us. The time when temperatures soar, humidity rises and with the new school year still weeks away, the period when many children are looking for things to do, unless family vacation intervenes. This is nothing new. Kids and summer go together like strawberries and ice cream. It was the same when I was a youngster. As the school year dragged on we longed for summer and the freedom to do what we wanted to do for a couple of months. Growing up on the family farm near Stittsville, Ont., summer didn’t exactly work out that way for my brother and two sisters. There was work to do, specifically helping with haying and doing the chores that are a daily reality on a farm. Still, we managed to squeeze in some R&R and earlier in our youth, before my parents purchased the farm, we enjoyed the leisurely pursuits which, to this day, continue to be a part of every summer for school age children. Kids who are too young to have a summer job or who don’t have home chores to do (a large number based on my observations) often find that the months of July and August can be excruciatingly boring. The allure of summer wears off quickly when you have nothing to do. The differences between my youth and the world the children of today inhabit are considerable of course. But boredom is a universal issue and despite all of the electronic gadgetry of the new millennium, it is clear to me young people today also have trouble finding enough to keep them occupied dur-
ing the “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.” In my youth circumstances for children were very different. In the more gentle times of the 1950s and ‘60s the majority of kids were part of a traditional (nuclear) family. In most cases dad worked every day to bring home the bacon. Mom was most likely a homemaker who, besides the considerable amount of work that goes with running a household seven days a week, was also the supervisor for her own children. When other moms in the neighbourhood had commitments (appointments, shopping etc.) my mother would often mind the kids next door. Moms took turns so they could do what was necessary outside the home. Today circumstances are very different. The nuclear family is much less prominent and the demands on single parents, who are becoming more and more common, are understandably increased. Those parents who are together are usually part of a dual income situation, something which is vital to pay the bills. Depending on finances parents and guardians have options today. There are summer camps and other similar programs where they can enroll their children, for a price, and know they are in good hands while they’re working. Lack of supervision What about those who can’t afford such opportunities however? It is those children I will refer to in this article. So called “latch-key kids” are a modern reality which causes me concern. In many cases children, some of them very young, are being left to their own devices year-round while their parents or guardians are at work or out for the
evening. I am a daily walker and that offers me a window into the human condition. This summer I have been seeing things first-hand that is very worrisome. I realize you can’t protect people from themselves. On the other hand children under the age of consent should be properly supervised. They should also be receiving good advice when it comes to their personal safety. I believe our community is a microcosm of centres across Ontario and Canada. Therefore the issues I will now refer to are problems in every community because parental/ adult supervision is either lacking or non-existent. This has been an incredibly wet summer and rivers and lakes across southern Ontario are at all-time highs. We have lived in Carleton Place for 37 years. In that time I can’t recall the Mississippi River being so high and fast flowing at this time of year. Yet every day I see children playing beside the surging river or, worse yet, jumping into the Mississippi to swim at the worst possible locations. I was so worried by what I saw last week that I went to the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment to express my concern. The OPP said they have received many similar complaints. But every time they chase the kids away, they return. An officer was immediately dispatched to act on the information I provided. But obviously the police can’t be minding children 24/7. Oh yes, the age of the children involved? I’m referring to kids between 10 to 14 years old. It isn’t just the danger of drowning – which is very real right now
– that concerns me. Our town is generally safe. But I couldn’t help but think that young girls and boys left unsupervised could easily become a target for predators. Sadly, that possibility is a fact of life in today’s world as we are all very aware. Well, most of us are aware. Clearly some parents haven’t gotten the message. Because many children are being allowed to roam the streets unsupervised at all hours of the day and night. The safety issues I see every day go beyond swimming of course. Another example is the number of small children who ride bicycles without helmets today. I see this happening everywhere. There has been a helmet law in Ontario since 1995. It applies to anyone under the age of 18. The fine for non-compliance is $75 according to the information I found on-line. And yet three of every four kids I see riding bicycles these days aren’t wearing a helmet. Clearly the issues that arise when young people are left unsupervised for long periods of time go well beyond personal safety. There are numerous community issues, including vandalism, that spring from this situation. In closing I will pose this question to parents and guardians. “Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?” Do you know where they are right now? More to the point, do the parents I am referring to care? If they did presumably they would do a better job of monitoring their young charges or ensuring they are properly advised and reasonably well cared for by others. It isn’t rocket science is it! When I was young most parents were far more careful about moni-
toring their children and putting reasonable restrictions in place which we were expected to adhere to. There were some rules to follow in other words. Sadly that isn’t the case in far too many homes today. Somebody has to be in charge and in my world that is down to parents and guardians. I believe adults should be held responsible for what happens to their youngsters who, left to their own devices, fall into harm’s way. They should also be responsible for paying for any mischief unsupervised children perpetrate. One of the biggest problems in our society today is lack of accountability!

Elder abuse must be taken seriously says advocate By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca
EMC News - Power of Attorney abuse is becoming a “huge problem,” and those affected by it may not have the capacity to advocate for themselves. This is one of the many reasons someone might call the Elder Abuse Peer Support Line. Established to assist seniors who experience mistreatment, the service covers a wide area, essentially from Prescott in the east to Trenton, Belleville and Bancroft in the west. The line has recently expanded with the help of the South East Community Care Access Centre and more volunteers are needed to answer phones. The service is for seniors or those who suspect a senior is being abused. The calls are answered by a “peer who will listen in a non-judgmental way and provide information on possible sources to help, only if you wish assistance,” notes a promotional brochure. Of course, if the situation is an emergency or could be dangerous, dial 9-1-1. The Elder Abuse Prevention Support Line can be reached toll free by calling 1-855-542-1336. Upon calling the number, the caller is asked to choose one of the local lines – in Brockville, Belleville and Kingston. “We need more volunteers for looking after the phone. We have only had the phone here for a couple of months,” explained Jen Knudson, elder abuse prevention Brockville team leader. “It is not a huge volun-
teer commitment.” She explained it isn’t counselling as such, the role of the volunteer is to listen – comparable to a triage at an emergency room. All phone calls to the line are anonymous. No one is asked for their name, nor do those running the line provide last names. As mentioned, volunteers are being sought. Those contributing their time take one-week rotations with the line. At most, 20 calls will be received in a week, Knudson explained. Training is provided to all volunteers. There are three levels of response – one being a phone response. This involves calling the senior and letting them know what agencies exist if they want help, to provide them with resources to resolve their problem. There are instances where an advocacy team will attend the senior’s residence and of course, if the situation is threatening or dangerous, the police are called. In a presentation earlier this year in Brockville, Dave Swerdfeger, elder abuse prevention advocate with the Council on Aging for FrontenacKingston, spoke to a group of nurse case managers gathered at the Community Care Access Centre. “We want elder abuse to be (seen) the same as child abuse. This isn’t for discussion; if you see it report it,” he said at the time. “We haven’t done a good enough job of getting through to people in this area (about the line),” he said of awareness levels. The topics Swerdfeger brought to

matter in the morning, she attended an ATM. She knew there was more than $100,000 in the bank account, so she would use a little to get a hotel room for the night. There was no money left. As it turned out, the day she had left, her son went to the doctor to get a note declaring her incompetent. Without seeing her, the doctor wrote him the note. Her son then went ahead and gained POA and proceeded to take her home and money. At this point, the doctor’s insurance company is paying for her house. More information Those in need of more information, or who may suspect abuse, or are a senior being abused, may call the Elder Abuse Prevention Hot Line at 1-855-542-1336, the Province of Ontario’s Senior Safety Line at 1-866-299-1011, or the Public Guardian and Trustee (for POA issues) 1-800-891-0506. For information about the South East Ontario Regional Elder Abuse Prevention Planning Network please visit www.sagelink.ca/reapseontario. The peer support line has support from the Council on Aging Frontenac-Kingston, the South East CCAC and the Ontario South East Local Health Integration Network. A seminar is being planned for October in Kingston. The subject will be POA abuse. Details are still being worked out, however it is hoped one portion of the day will be for professionals, the second half for the public. There will be fees associated with attending.

only on days when cheques are to arrive in the mail; evidence of questionable use of power of attorney; inappropriate banking activity; uncharacteristic unpaid bills; and the senior becoming uncomfortable talking about money. “Power of Attorney is often used by people who have no idea what a POA is and is used by people who think it is a pipeline to people’s money,” he charged. He recalled a case whereby a senior had just come home from a stay in the hospital. His house had been emptied of furniture and there was a ‘for sale’ sign on the home. His son had claimed POA and had sold everything. The elderly father had gone into the hospital with a grim prognosis; doctors didn’t feel he would make it. His son had claimed POA under Quebec law, which deem the oldest son to automatically assume POA. But in Ontario, the location where the senior resided, that law does not exist and in fact his son had not been listed as POA. His son has consequently been charged with theft over $5,000. In another case, a call came into the support line one evening from a woman in a panic. She had gone away to visit family for a month and upon her return her key did not work in her own door. She had owned a triplex, and caused enough of a stir trying to get her key in the door that a man answered. When she asked why he was in her home, the man didn’t know what she was talking about and said he was the rightful owner. Thinking she would sleep on it and resolve the

POA abuse In his presentation, Swerdfeger stated 75 per cent of elder abuse is financial and 75 per cent of that abuse is through Powers of Attorney (POA). Other forms of financial abuse include theft, fraud, theft by POA, and criminal breach of trust. Some of the signs and symptoms of a senior who is being financially abused include visitors to the home

the table earlier this year for discussion included; why people don’t talk about elder abuse; what it is; forms of elder abuse; who is affected by it; why abuse happens; why the victims don’t tell; prevention, and who can help. He noted often elder abuse isn’t talked about due to a lack of visibility of those in the senior age category to other age groups. Often not speaking about the issue is a result of shyness, fear of old age or dealing with someone who might have a disability. Sometimes it is just due to lack of awareness or knowledge, a feeling of helplessness. Elder abuse is defined by Swerdfeger as, “a single or repeated act or lack of appropriate action, occurring in any relationship where there is an expectation of trust that causes harm or distress to an older adult.” Forms of abuse can be physical abuse and neglect (either active or passive), psychological, financial or sexual. Medication abuse happens when caregivers or another, “drugs them (senior) to the point they aren’t a problem anymore,” Knudson emphasized. They sedate them, essentially.

Purlin’ J’s Roving Yarn Co. rolls into town this weekend hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
EMC News - You’ve heard all about the many food trucks that have rolled into the Kingston area this spring and summer – but how about the yarn truck? Kingston’s newest retail truck, Purlin’ J’s Roving Yarn Co., will make its debut Saturday at the Wolfe Island Music Festival. Instead of gourmet food, this truck sells yarn and other fibre paraphernalia sure to delight knitters, crocheters and more across the region. Truck owner and operator Joan Sharpe (aka Purlin’ J), has been a knitter her entire life. She was inspired to start the yarn truck after becoming enchanted by a similar business in California. “It struck a chord with me,” Sharpe says. “Ever since I saw it, it kept me up at night. It was such a great idea that I couldn’t stop thinking about it.” After giving the matter some thought and discussing it with friends and family, Sharpe decided to take the leap and start a yarn truck herself. Purlin’ J’s truck is a former service vehicle of the Lanark County Fire Department; Sharpe named it Lil’ Dorothy, in honour of her late mother. “She taught me how to knit when I was just a child, and she was always a big knitter her whole life,” Sharpe explains. “Now that she’s no longer with us, I thought that would be a way I could include her in this project because if she was still alive I know she would just love it.” Customers will be able to walk through the truck to observe and feel the fibres before making a purchase. “I’m really lucky with the truck itself,” Sharpe says. “Coming from [a fire department], it actually was almost perfectly equipped in size for
the purpose that I would use it for…Because I’m not like a regular food truck, I didn’t have to install a kitchen and all those types of things, so making the transition was actually quite smooth. Not a lot of modifications were needed, just a lot of freshening up and a makeover.” Sourcing her products locally is something that is very important to Sharpe, and featured products include 100 per cent wool yarn sourced from Topsy Farms on Amherst Island. She notes that there is currently a big movement to create local markets for local producers, and that she hopes to be a part of that: “We have a lot of wool producers in our neck of the woods, and I think it would be really great to try and highlight some of those people who are working in the industry and connecting their products with knitters and people who like to spin and dye their own yarn in Eastern Ontario.” As Sharpe is a very accomplished knitter and knitwear designer, she also hopes to be able to eventually add an educational component to the business. “If you come to me and Purlin’ J’s owner Joan Sharpe. want to ask me a question or something while I’m truck owners about different working in the truck, I can cer- ways they can work together. In tainly help people that way, but other areas where such trucks I do want to formalize it in the are more common, for instance, future to have some classes, per- owners have organized mobile haps outside under a little canopy truck weekend festivals, where near the truck,” she remarks. customers can enjoy food and Sharpe also sees a lot of op- products from all of the trucks portunity to build the food and at one convenient stop. retail truck community in the “We’re all very excited about Kingston area, and has already working together,” Sharpe rebeen talking with local food marks.

My ancestor Martin Stover b.1743 joined the British against the American rebels in 1777 at Saratoga, NY. As a result of his loyalty, his land and chattels were confiscated by the Americans: 190 acres, 63 cleared, 1 cow, 2 ox, 1 heifer, 1 bull, 4 horses, 8 sheep, 6 hogs. He brought his family to Machiche, Quebec in 1783 and then onto Bath ON in 1784. By an Act of British Parliament the Loyalists were compensated for their losses and he was allotted 200 acres lot 18 con 2 (Ernestown) Loyalist Township. His dedication to this country and his family inspires me today. Let my 30 years experience in marketing work for you.
