City unveils ambitious plan to tackle affordable housing shortage By Bill Hutchins Reporter
EMC News – Kingston homeowners will be eligible for cash incentives to convert part of their houses into ‘affordable’ secondary suites, according to a new plan to boost affordable housing and combat homelessness. The 10-year strategy, unveiled last week, contains more than 40 recommendations designed to increase the supply and affordability of housing in Kingston and Frontenac County based on well-documented challenges such as an aging population, overall decline in the number of rental housing units, long waiting list for subsidized housing, and the added demand placed on the city’s existing affordable housing market by college and university students. One highlight of the strategy would provide a grant of up to $15,000 to qualified homeowners to renovate and rent out part of their house, such as the basement, for at least five years. Council adopted a policy earlier this year to permit second residential units in certain parts of the city without the need for a costly and timeconsuming zoning bylaw change. The rezoning and application process had been a major drawback to create and legalize basement apartments. But times are changing. Secondary suites are now treated ‘as a right’ in many neighbourhoods of Kingston. It means homeowners won’t need to go through the application process, but they’d still need a building permit. Provincial and city housing offi-
cials now recognize that many singlefamily homes can be divided to create additional rental units to meet the demand for lower-cost housing. Among the benefits: -provide more options for seniors who are looking for other sources of income to stay in their homes, -lower financial barriers to firsttime homebuyers who can now rely on tenants to help pay their mortgage, -make the most of water and sewer infrastructure on existing streets, -create income-mixed neighbourhoods. It costs an estimated $50,000 to $70,000 to build a rental unit in an existing house. The recommended $15,000 forgivable loan would assist a homeowner to rent living space that meets the health and safety requirements of the Ontario Building Code. Owners would also have to sign an agreement with the city to guarantee that a new one or two-bedroom apartment will have affordable rent for at least five years. Affordable rents are typically no higher than 80 percent of the average monthly rental market rates as determined by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. An additional $7,000 forgivable loan will be offered to help offset any planning application fees related to the creation of a secondary suite in a house. “The proposed program funding amendments are consistent with other municipal jurisdictions which have implemented similar funding programs,� according to a housing report from Lanie Hurdle, commissioner of community services.
Owners must also live in the converted homes to be eligible for the grants. Money for the program will come from an existing $5 million, five year municipal capital funding pool. Experts believe the strategy to create affordable housing within existing homes will help tackle another problem: homelessness. The city currently funds six emergency shelters to help people, including women, families and youth, who have no place to stay in both the urban and rural areas. In 2012, 57 of Kingston’s 78 municipally-funded shelter beds were full every night. Experts say emergency shelters are designed for short-term stays, but it appears the opposite is happening. The average length of stay in a shelter last year was 28 nights, compared with 22 nights in 2010, suggesting the community lacks adequate affordable housing to move people into more permanent housing. “In total, 818 unique clients stayed in Kingston’s six shelters in 2012. This is an increase of 25 percent over 2011,� according to a housing analysis. The city has set an ambitious goal to eradicate homelessness by 2023 through a variety of measures such as greater coordination of community support systems, introduction of specialized shelters that target specific needs (infirmary beds, one night crash beds, palliative care beds), offering housing support staff in shelters, streamline housing diversion assistance and additional funding to create sustainable affordable housing.

Experiencing Kingston By Canoe at my grandparents’ cottage and paddle five minutes downstream to a nearby swamp. It was a big deal if we saw a frog, a huge deal if a turtle was spotted, and an absolute joy if we caught a glimpse of the great blue heron who resided there. We saw some pretty interesting birds on David’s canoe tour, too. As we paddled out of Confederation Basin, which serves as home base for Kingston By Canoe, I saw a large, almost heron-like black bird sitting on a log. “What’s that?” I asked. “That’s a cormorant,” David answered, and immediately I felt silly for not recognizing such a common bird.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kingston wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stray from its long-time keeper of lost and unwanted pets. The Kingston Humane Society (KHS) is poised to retain control of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animal pound services for the next five years. After a month-long competitive bidding process, councillors were advised this week to award the contract to KHS at a maximum cost of $375,000 a year. This means the cost to taxpayers of providing a safe haven for stray animals will amount to $1.87 million over the life of the agreement. Council decided to put the pound contract up for a public bidding process this summer to determine if the city could get a better deal from a company or organization to take in stray cats and dogs. But it turns out there was very little interest in providing the service. The Humane Society was the only bid that was submitted. KHS has been the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provider of animal pound services for about 20 years. The proposed contract is about $10,000 a year less than what KHS currently receives from taxpayers. The pound service contract has several conditions; -located within city limits with adequatelysized dog kennels and cat crates, an open area for dogs to get exercise, plus a security system, -open to the public for a minimum of 40 hours, six days a week with adequate staffing levels, -accurate records for pound activities and business transactions and boarding fee payments.

City officials also propose to shorten the redemption period for stray cats to three days instead of five, while pet owners still have five days to reclaim their lost dogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is charged a boarding fee for each day during the redemption period that a dog or cat is in the pound, if the animal is not subsequently claimed by the owner,â&#x20AC;? according to the municipal staff recommendation. There were 2,400 cats and dogs that went through the pound last year, and the boarding fee is $25 a day. A shorter timeframe to claim stray cats is expected to result in â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantial cost savingsâ&#x20AC;? to taxpayers, said staff. Unclaimed strays are a huge problem for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On average, 60 percent of dogs and only four percent of cats are reclaimed during the redemption period,â&#x20AC;? said commissioner Cynthia Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report. But the shorter timeframe to reclaim animals could also mean an earlier death sentence for unclaimed animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For animals in the Pound, the decision to euthanize a cat or dog may be made at the end of the redemption period or may not be made until sometime after the animal has been transferred from the Pound to the Shelter,â&#x20AC;? wrote Beach. The Kingston Humane Society on Binnington Court does double-duty as both the keeper of stray animals and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary animal shelter. As a shelter, KHS says it strives to put unwanted animals up for adoption, and euthanizes them only as a last resort. If council ratifies the deal, the humane society will provide pound services from Sept. 1, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2018.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cyclists could soon be getting a new route into Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown, but it comes at the expense of dozens of on-street parking spaces. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee has approved a plan to create dedicated cycling lanes on the 1.7 kilometre midtown stretch of Princess Street between Bath Road and Division Street. But as the concept went to council this week, final approval is not guaranteed. The recommended improvements are part of a plan to revitalize the Williamsville Main Street District. At first, city engineers advised against installing cycling lanes on the Princess Street corridor due to its narrow 20-metre road width. But with pressure from the Williamsville community, councillors asked staff and consultants to go back to the drawing board to find a way to accommodate bicycles. A more detailed analysis concluded that cycling lanes are, indeed, possible without seriously impacting the flow of two-way traffic, parked vehicles and public transit buses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give full marks to staff for re-looking at this important form of transportation and finding a way to make it work,â&#x20AC;? observed Coun. Rick Downes. Kingston needs to go the extra mile to accommodate cyclists, pedestrians and public transit, he added. But there are drawbacks, according to the consultant hired to examine the pros and cons of adding cycling lanes to an already busy street without much room to widen it further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To accommodate the priorities of all users and stakeholders for this diverse street, compromises must be made as there is simply not enough space to provide for all,â&#x20AC;? warned a cycling study prepared by Brook McIlroy/MMM Group. Something will have to give and, in this case, it means losing parking spaces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This configuration results in a net loss of approximately half of the on-street parking spots,â&#x20AC;? according to the consultant. There are currently 126 on-street spaces on midtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Princess Street. The preferred cycling concept

reduces the number to 66 spaces. City officials agree that some tough choices have to be made to allow room for two wheels on the street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some segments of the main street will have narrower boulevards and/or sidewalks, no street trees and no on street parking,â&#x20AC;? said a report to council by commissioner Cynthia Beach. Still, staff support the trade-offs to give cyclists their own painted space on the street. The preferred design would see painted buffered bicycle lanes on both sides of Princess Street with enough space to prevent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dooringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from parked motorists. Unlike other local streets where all curbside parking has been removed to accommodate cyclists, this concept would put the cycling lanes several feet from the curb and adjacent to the areas where cars are parked. Consultants favour this approach for many reasons: -uses the road space right-of-way more efficiently, -transit stops and existing driveways can be accommodated, -on-street parking is maintained in areas where sidewalk space is narrowed, -street cleaning and snow clearing will not be impacted. It all adds up to a tight fit to include room for cyclists on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street. The dedicated cycling lanes will be 1.5 metres wide, with an extra 0.5 metre buffer between traffic and parked cars. To find additional room on the already narrow street, consultants recommend on-street parking and street trees on only one side of the street, alternating sides from block-to-block. While some blocks will lose parking, the travel lanes will be reduced to 3.35 metres â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as narrow as possible without affecting transit operations. City officials urged council to make a swift decision on the cycling lane report as the reconstruction of several blocks of midtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Princess Street, between Bath Road and MacDonnell Street, is slated to begin next year and road designs must be finalized soon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, A couple of weeks ago on a blazing hot summer day, I was wandering around downtown Kingston with my son, enjoying all the great shops and cafes. Until we came to the “block of shame,” Princess Street between Montreal and Sydenham. Have you ever noticed how many businesses on that block leave their doors open on unseasonably hot or cold days? Urban Outfitters and Northern Reflections routinely leave their doors open, while other retailers are more sporadic about it. Are they not confident that the quality of their products and customer service alone will entice people in? Surely they don’t think people are so foolish that they need to see the door open on a hot day before they’ll go in? One would think that this archaic practice, straight out of Marketing 101, would be outweighed by the recognition that today’s consumers want to shop in environmentally conscious stores whenever possible. As I do a couple of times a year, I sauntered into Urban Outfitters, the most flagrant of these environmental transgressors, and asked the cashier why they had their door open on such a hot day. “To let people know that we’re open,” was her response, looking at me as if I was a bit slow-witted. I asked if she thought that was very good for the environment, and she kind of shuffled her feet. I asked if I could speak to the manager, and she quickly skittered away. The manager returned, looking resigned before I even opened my mouth. When I asked why their door was open on such a hot day, she said it was company policy. From head office. I asked if she thought it was an environmentally responsible thing to do. She squirmed a bit and again reiterated that it was a “head office issue.” And for the record, yes, I have written to head office about it before, but have never heard anything back. It’s interesting to note that another Downtown Kingston retailer, Tara Natural Foods, provides a more sustainable and effective method of showing passersby that they are open in the summer. They have a rack of fruit for sale outside, often along with a friendly salesperson, greeting passersby. The amount of money they pay the outdoor staffer would likely be equivalent to how much UrDear Editor, Thank you for your excellent coverage of local news. I was amused by the use of official language in the Aug. 1 issue, in which city officials plan to “relax” the height limitations for a possible conference centre on Block 4. “Relax?” How about “dump” or “ignore” the current building height restrictions? And then we are told that the new building is likely to make “a dramatic statement.” Presumably, this is the 18-storey building that is a possibility. Kingstonians have already seen what “dramatic statements” do to our downtown waterfront, much of which is now blocked from view by tall condos where height restricDear Editor, Referring to Bill Hutchins’ article on the front page of the Aug. 1 edition of The Heritage, admittedly I am not one of the experts that Mayor Gerretsen might heed on traffic safety, but here is a suggestion. The purpose of the speed humps is to slow down the motorized traffic travelling between the Chown parking garage and Hotel Dieu Hospital. Surely this would encourage more pedestrians to jay-walk? The traffic lights at Montreal and Brock will be considered a long route to the Hospital door. People will
ban Outfitters is paying in additional electricity bills by leaving their doors open. Plus, Tara is providing someone with employment. Many other downtown businesses wrestle with the problem of letting passersby know that they are open by displaying a sign that says “Open,” or having an A-frame sign on the sidewalk, or placing a rack of low-priced articles in front of the store. It’s not difficult to come up with sustainable and sensible ideas, if the will is there. I’m sure there are those of you out there thinking, “It’s none of her business what merchants do with their doors.” But whose business is it to take care of the environment? Isn’t it all of ours? At what point does Urban Outfitters’ right to keep their door open on unseasonably hot or cold days override everyone’s right to a healthy environment? The same issue applies to the Poker Run, once again polluting the air we breathe, using up excessive amounts of fuel and providing a classic example of money trumping the environment, all right in front of City Hall Aug. 10-11. Does Downtown Kingston’s right to host an event that promotes such wasteful and environmentally abhorrent practices supersede our city’s responsibility to the environment? All too often, businesses, bureaucrats and politicians consider only the immediate economic payback of their actions, instead of looking at the more long-term effects, whether good or bad. In the weeks to come, City staff will be presenting a new Special Events Policy to members of the Arts, Recreation and Community Policies Committee. Hopefully, this document will help groups wanting to use City resources to understand the responsibilities of holding events in “Canada’s Most Sustainable City. “ One can only hope that Downtown Kingston will be expected to adhere to these guidelines whenever they are using City resources or property, just like any other organization. That would really give people interested in a more sustainable city something to celebrate.

tions were also “relaxed.” The K-Rock Centre also made a pretty “dramatic statement.” Unfortunately, dramatic doesn’t mean beautiful. “Relaxation” of height restrictions is also proposed for apartment buildings in the historic Barriefield area. I wish our councillors would look to European downtown areas where new buildings are kept low and beautiful and zoning restrictions are not “relaxed”, so that everyone can enjoy the cityscape for generations to come. Those zoning limitations were put in place for a purpose.
take their chances and cross mid block. The vehicular traffic up Brock Street is practically continuous. Streams from Montreal Street take over when Brock Street has a red light. Why not consider making Montreal Street one-way from Brock to Princess. Maintain the present lights for hospital exits to Montreal St. but no left turn up Brock. This should give sufficient time for pedestrian crossings. Cheaper for us tax-payers and fewer speed humps to harass Kingston drivers…….

In Our Opinion
Accepting the imperfect Hollie Pratt-Campbell Reporter
@hollieprattcamp
EMC Editorial - When I went for my first ever job interview, my dad gave me some sage advice: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to ask you what you see as your biggest strength, then what you see as your biggest weakness,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For your biggest weakness, try to say something that is actually a strength. For instance, you can tell them you tend to be too much of a perfectionist.â&#x20AC;? Truth be told, I really am a bit of a perfectionist, and while it probably does help me more than it hinders me on the job, my perfectionism can turn my personal life into a bit of a nightmare when things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out the way I envisioned. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written about this concept before in relation to having a baby, and how hard it was for me to deal with the fact that motherhood is not as beautiful and perfect as so many make it out to be. The same can be said for many of the date nights Steve and I have been on since Summer was born. Having time to ourselves seems so rare and wonderful, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for me to get worked up about trying to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as fun and memorable as they can possibly be.
Take the August long weekend. Steve and I have a tradition of going to Montreal every August long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This year, we waited too long to book our favourite hotel, and had to postpone our trip. Already, I was hugely disappointed. Still, we were determined to make the most of things, and asked my parents to watch Summer on the Friday night while we went out for dinner and to the 75 Years of Modern Music concert at Fort Henry. I made our reservations (at a restaurant that shall go unnamed) super early to ensure there was absolutely no way we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy a relaxed dinner without having to worry about getting to the show on time. The service was, in a word, horrible. We sat there for 20 minutes without being acknowledged by wait staff, and I literally had to wave my hands in the air like a mad person to get someone to take our order. About 15 minutes after the waiter finally did show up, he returned to tell us the restaurant was no longer serving either the appetizer we wanted or the entrĂŠe I ordered. By then I knew my plans for a stressfree night were out the window, and I began frantically checking my watch, concerned that we were going to be late for the concert. As it turned out, we did make it on time, though barely. Mother Nature, however, was not cooperative. The calendar read Aug. 2, but the temperature made it feel more like Oct. 2, and
I cursed myself for wearing a skirt as I huddled next to Steve for warmth. The wind was also very strong, and though the music itself was excellent (you really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong with the Kingston Symphony, Emily Fennell, and the many other talented musicians who performed that night), the microphones kept picking up the wind, taking away from what I had imagined would be a perfect summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evening of music outdoors. Halfway through John Harveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendition of Kashmir, the show was rained out. It was the second last song of the evening, but I was still crushed. Despite the lessthan-great weather, I had been enjoying the concert. It was nice to just sit back, relax and take something in for a couple hours. Frustrated, I stood up and moved with the sea of people toward the exit. All of a sudden, some loud bangs caused us to look to the sky. Despite the light drizzle, we were being treated to a magnificent display of fireworks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; presumably the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intended finale. They were so high-quality and so near to the audience it was hard not to be moved to a state of awe. As I watched the fireworks, I did my best to put the negative aspects evening out of my mind and savour the magic of the moment. Finding beauty and enjoyment in our perfectly imperfect night out wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy for someone like me to do, but who knows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe nights like those will help me mend my perfectionist ways. And the fireworks certainly helped, too.
Exotic pets are for the zoo EMC Editorial - Canada, and indeed the world, was shocked two weeks ago when news broke that a pet snake had taken the lives of two young boys from Campbellton, New Brunswick. Contrary to initial reports, The four metre-long African rock python was being kept on the top floor, and not within the pet store itself. It is thought that the snake slipped out of its enclosure, made its way through the ventilation shaft and dropped down to the living room where the boys were sleeping. We believe that this tragedy should serve as a prime example of why exotic pets should not be kept in residential homes. It should not matter if the owner feels they have a special bond with the animal, has significant experience handling the animals, or that they are being cared for as well as possible in captivity. All that it takes is one misstep such as a forgetting to double-latch the enclosure, and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives are put at risk. African
rock pythons are not legally allowed to be kept as pets in New Brunswick. They are wily creatures; zoo keepers always keep them in double locked enclosures, and any soft spots such as vents are double-barricaded Obviously, not all exotic pets carry with them the same risks. Monkeys, birds and lizards do not have the ability to crush a person the way a python does. Ultimately, however, we must remember that the issue is as much about the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety and wellbeing as it is our own. It cannot be doubted that they feel much more at ease in their natural habitat than swinging from our light fixtures. These are not domesticated animals such as dogs and cats that have evolved beside us for millennia. They are as close to the wild as a crocodile in the Australian Outback, a polar bear in the Arctic Circle, or a hippopotamus in the African Savannah. They owe us nothing, and oftentimes, it shows.

El Salvador summer party hopes to raise cultural and political awareness By: Mandy Marciniak Reporter
EMC Events - The Salvadoran Canadian Association of Kingston is hosting an exciting cultural event on Saturday, Aug. 17 at the Ongwanda Resource Centre. Organizers of the event are hoping to raise awareness about El Salvador both culturally and politically. “The idea is to have the event so people can find out a little more about El Salvadoran culture, and it is also a fundraiser to raise money to send to the El Salvadoran government for their election campaign next spring,” explained Terry Bridges, a member of the association since 2009. Bridges and his group are working to make the event as authentic as possible with entertainment and food that reflect the culture. The guest performers are El Pulgarcito de America. These colourful, Ottawabased dancers perform traditional Salvadorean dances accompanied by the music of El Salvador.” El Pulgarcito” is the humorous title of Salvadoran folklore. It means Tom Thumb and reflects El Salvador being the smallest of the Central American nations. Traditional food of El Salvador will also be served at this event. While the event will light-hearted and fun, Bridges notes that the more serious reasons for holding it should not be overlooked. “At the event we will talk a little bit about the government, what they are doing and why we want to support them and why we want them reelected,” said Bridges. “The current
government is doing a lot of good things like putting money into health care and agriculture. This year was their best year ever agriculturally and they actually didn’t need to import corn for the first time so that is a huge accomplishment.” Bridges goes on to explain that the current government has made many positive developments considering they don’t have much money and received a lot of support from Venezuela. “We really like that they are doing things for the people and we hope that they get re-elected,” he said. “It will be tough, but we are raising money to help them out.” Many fear that with the upcoming election, El Salvador could face a return to the previous elitist government that once ruled. “The problem is that the mass media are dominated by private owners committed to the privileged society of the elite dominated parties,” said Bridges. “Small donations from supporters around the world can help to level the playing field.” This is the first time that Bridges and his association have planned an event like this. Previous events held by the association have included a film festival featuring El Salvadoran filmmakers and a number of fundraisers to provide buses and medical supplies for children. Bridges hopes this event will be just as successful as past events. “I think if people come out, they will have a good time,” he said. “The dancing group is great and they are happy to teach people and get them involved. There will be food and

Chronicles of Quinte’s sailing history EMC Lifestyle - A Bermuda Triangle in eastern Ontario? Illegal underground trafficking in booze? Who knew that the Isle of Quinte was ever such a hotbed of intrigue and mystery? Just off the eastern shore of the beautiful isle, the Quinte Triangle has claimed far more ships than the famed location near Bermuda. The Bermuda Triangle, located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico, is reported to have swallowed a number of ships and aircraft. But many ships and hundreds of people have been lost off the shores of nearby Quinte in Prince Edward County. More than 280 ships have been salvaged and more than 50 shipwreck sites still remain close to Mariners Park Museum on Quinte’s South Bay. The museum documents it all and tells the story of the region’s marine past with nautical artifacts. We often associate the arrival of the railway with the development of Canada as a nation. But before there were rails, watercraft ruled the world. Sailing contributed to the great explorations that opened North America. Canada’s growth is closely tied to the history of water transportation. Early explorers and settlers ventured into regions that could only be reached by water. At first, that meant canoe travel along lakes and rivers. Later, canals were built to aid in water transportation. Prince Edward County has a grand
history on the water. The mid-19th Century was a prime era for Quinte’s sailing trade. During the development of the Rideau Canal, it was obvious that trade via water offered grand opportunities. Many wharves were built around South Bay on the Isle of Quinte. Shipbuilding became a prime industry of the region. During America’s Prohibition Era, illegal rum-running offered great payoffs to Canadians willing to take the risk of transporting booze to the U.S. Some of the tools of the rum-running trade are on display at Mariner’s Park Museum. You’ll even see a dinghy used to ferry liquor from larger boats across the waters of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River to American shores. These and countless other artifacts are on display at Prince Edward County’s unique museum. Mariner’s Park Museum was founded in 1967 by Willis Metcalfe, a well-known marine history buff in the Quinte region. Many hundreds of pieces document the history of early vessels, both sail and steam, of the Great Lakes. You’ll see early motors, various types of engines, deck houses, and an early birch bark canoe from the 1700s on display. Mariner’s Park Museum documents and examines the impact of marine life and sailing on Prince Edward County. Residents earned their living on the waters from fishing and shipbuilding. Careers also included ice harvesting and rum running. Local farmers, many of whom also
worked in shipbuilding and sailing, moved grains like barley via huge sailing ships along Lake Ontario. In addition to volunteering their time, the people of the county have been generous in supplying the museum with artifacts. Local divers in the 1960s and 1970s helped the museum get established. Many people came forward to donate items related to the region’s marine history. Exhibits are featured in themed displays. Many of the artifacts’ origins remain unknown, but staff members are gradually cataloguing their collection and unearthing the history. For example, the rum-running dinghy on display comes from famous rum-runner Gentleman Charlie’s boat. A binnacle is one of the most beautiful artifacts on display. A binnacle is an upright waist-high casing containing the compass of a ship and a light, typically an oil lamp, for viewing it at night. It was located on a ship’s deck and offered a protected shelter where delicate navigational instruments could be placed for easy reference. The largest item on exhibit at the museum is the lighthouse in the park in front of the building. It came from False Duck Island, just off the southeast shores of the Isle of Quinte. Built in 1829, it was the second lighthouse built on the Great Lakes and the oldest in Prince Edward County.

Celebrating Canadian history and the beauty of the Rideau Canal By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
EMC News - Confederation Park was a colourful place to be on the afternoon of Aug. 6, as seven canoes filled with 10 spirited, costumed paddlers each kicked off their symbolic journey up the Rideau Canal. “The Rideau Canal is so beautiful and historic, so I brought my friends here so we can enjoy it together,” said Mark Lund, who organized the so-named Rideau Canal Voyageur Brigade. Canoe enthusiasts from across Canada and even some from the U.S. gathered to take part in the brigade. Lund came all the way from Edmonton. “Our first goal is to come as tourists to enjoy the canal, enjoy each other, and enjoy the paddling,” Lund explained… “Then we have some secondary goals: to promote paddling generally, [and to further the local paddling community’s
goal of] developing the Frontenac Arch canoe route and helping the communities develop tourism along the way.” Lund noted that he is also trying to gather together 1,000 paddlers to descend on Ottawa on July 1, 2017 for Canada’s 150th birthday. “Canoeing is something that is found throughout much of the history of Canada,” Lund said, explaining that the vessels were crucial to establishing the fur trade between Native populations and European settlers. “The paddlers really were the ones that created the first Trans Canada Highway, all the way from Montreal to the mouth of the Oregon River.” “We like to get into the history ourselves,” Lund added, gesturing to the paddlers’ colourful costumes, many of which were inspired by the fur tradeera fashion. “We have fun with it.” Dozens of Kingstonians, including Councillor Dorothy Hector, also gath-
ered at Confederation Park to give the group a proper send-off. Dugald Carmichael, events coordinator of the Cataraqui Canoe Club, organized members of the Community Choir and the Sir John A Singers to sing a traditional French Canadian paddling song as the canoes left Confederation Basin. “It’s one of about 13,000 songs that the French Canadian paddlers sang to keep themselves amused while they were paddling and to keep their spirits up,” Carmichael explained. He added that “we thought they should have a good send-off. This was their introduction to the Rideau Canal. It was important to bring them in here and make a spectacle, and show them that Kingston knows it’s at the end of the Rideau Canal, which is a historic waterway.” President of Friends of the Kingston Inner Harbour, Mary Farrar, noted that it was great having the group launch their boats from the inner harbour, as it was the area’s first official event since officially becoming the Frontenac Arch Biosphere several years ago. “Kingston is an important part in the history of Canada,” she said. “Count Frontenac would not have chosen Kingston had it not been for the inner harbor, because it was a quite port where he could build ships. [We are now] celebrating 300 years of boat building in the harbor.” Farrar noted that it was wonderful to see brigade paddlers carrying on the 10,000-year-old tradition of canoeing in the area, and that she would love to see even more paddling events take place: “Kingston is famous for boating and poker runs in Confederation Basin, but it would be so wonderful if we also had more canoeing and kayaking and rowing and things happening in the inner harbor.”

EMC News - The Buy-a-Net Malaria Prevention group (BAN) is non-profit organization that got its start in Kingston in 2004. It was founded by nurse Debra Lefebvre after an eye-opening trip to Uganda in which she witnessed the devastation of malaria. Now, BAN looks forward to a busy year of programming ahead as it approaches its 10th birthday. Recently, Buy-a-Net was named a grant recipient by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The grant will provide 80 per cent of Buy-a-Net’s funding for their “Heal – One Village at a Time” project. “The Heal Project,” says BAN board member Gail Fones, “has as its major goal the reduction of maternal and child mortality in three districts.” The three districts are all located in Uganda, because it faces the highest burden of malaria in the world. BAN distributes insecticide-treated bed nets as well as medicines that treat malaria. BAN also partners with local hospitals in Uganda to do community education about prevention and health. “Our project is going to reach an estimated 65,000 people at the household level,” Fones says. “The emphasis always is on the 14,000 children under the age of five and the 15,000 women of childbearing age. Those are the two major targets. I can’t tell you how sad it is to hold a mother
who’s just lost her second child to malaria. It’s a preventable and treatable disease.” As part of the project, nurses from Ugandan hospitals will do monthly village visits for outreach and education. “The level of accountability and recording will provide statistics that they’ve never had before,” Fones is proud to say. “It’s so exciting I could just jump out of my skin.” BAN hopes that soon they will be able to broaden the focus of their work in Uganda. “Since 2006, the goal of achieving a CIDA grant has been part of our strategic planning,” Fones continues. Now that the group has the CIDA funding secured, they look forward to being able to expand their programming to include areas such as malnutrition, sex education, and reproductive health. “Child bearing in Uganda can be a death sentence,” Fones says. In order to supplement the 80 per cent funding promised by CIDA, BAN will be fundraising and accepting donations for the final 20 per cent. BAN reaches out to rotary groups, church communities, school children and universities. They currently also have the support of both the Canadian Federation of Nurses Union and the Canadian Nurses Association. To date, the Buy-a-Net Malaria Prevention group has protected and treated more than 300,000 people in Uganda. It is the first Canadian volunteer-driven charity aimed at saving lives from malaria.

EMC Lifestyle - This weekend, an eclectic collection of food artisans will be on site at Upper Canada Village as they host their inaugural Food Loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Field Days. Last fall, Upper Canada Village celebrated with Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top new event of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pumpkinferno, which drew over 35,000 visitors during the month of October. This food event is another first, a showcase of the best of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and beverage producers from Gatineau, Kingston, Prince Edward County, Cornwall and Iroquois. What better way to represent the 100-mile diet and promote artisan food trends that have existed for centuries? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to create a new, innovative event and this idea seeded,â&#x20AC;? said Janis Sommerville, Events and Special Projects Coordinator for the St. Lawrence Parks Commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone loves food, why not a food festival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we have a unique and ideal setting for a celebration of food.â&#x20AC;? Upper Canada Village offers a magical experience. The village is based on an 1860s community, complete with authentic buildings and homes. A longtime producer of good local food, the historical 19th Century village is a perfect fit with its wonderful gardens full of heirloom varieties of vegetables and 19th century kitchens, which use authentic recipes and methods on a daily basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We further developed the idea, prepared a business case for funding from our tourism development fund, and were able to bring the event to life,â&#x20AC;? Sommerville explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, some great sponsors came on board to help, in particular Smart Serve, Foodland Ontario and South Dundas Township.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aspiringâ&#x20AC;? woman brings entrepreneurs of faith together EMC News - For Wendy Lockhart, living a life of purpose and faith has always been important. Now, having recently started her own life coaching organization, she is helping other women to do the same. She Aspires, which was founded by Lockhart in mid-2012, seeks to bring together Christian women through professional and personal developments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that God designed women with powerful inner potential and strength and that we were each created for a specific purpose that is greater than ourselves,â&#x20AC;? explains Lockhart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She Aspires was created to help women to discover that inner potential and strength and equip them to discover and live their God-inspired dreams.â&#x20AC;? Lockhart suggests a model whereby biblical principles are applied to business practices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for instance, excellence, righteousness, and discipline. She Aspires plans to offer mentorship, conferences, retreats, bible study, seminars by Christian business women and a variety of other programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is for She Aspires to be the premier community for Christian women entrepreneurs in Kingston and throughout Canada,â&#x20AC;? Lockhart says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our desire is for all women to know the potential that is within them, and She Aspires may be the vehicle to help a non-believing woman to come to know a very believing God.â&#x20AC;? Though Lockhartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization is now past its fledgling stage and ready to offer programming, she notes that its inception wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My major struggle was that I was working full-time and running She Aspires in my spare time. As
such, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of time to invest in business development and marketing. As well, I was doing it by myself so it felt very lonely. I let the business wane for a bit.â&#x20AC;? Still, her desire to see women succeed pushed her to continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hurt when we see women give up on their dreams and we know that it hurts God more,â&#x20AC;? Lockhart says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was still passionate about She Aspires and felt determined to bring life to this dream.â&#x20AC;? Lockhart began small, with a website and a Facebook page. She hosted intimate networking events in Toronto. When she moved to Kingston in 2012, She Aspires began to grow. Now, the organization hosts monthly events at the Delta Waterfront Hotel downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some amazing women in attendance!â&#x20AC;? says Lockhart. This September, they will continue to launch additional coaching services. For now, Lockhart is the sole employee

Wolfe Island’s Family Ball Tournament includes “Provincial Surprise” By Margaret Knott Correspondent
EMC News- A two hour wait for the Wolfe Island ferry was not uncommon during the August long weekend as family and friends headed home for the island’s 28th Annual Family Ball Tournament. Twenty-seven family teams, including one new family began playing Friday evening in the A & B Divisions., at the Community Centre ball diamonds and at Sacred Heart school. (The Community Centre is also home to the island’s NHL sized rink.) With that many 15+member teams, with 9 persons (always with 4 women) on the field, means that there were as many as 400 players during the weekend. “play two and barbecue “ was the theme… Hundreds of spectators circled the diamonds during play cheering teams on. A constant stream of people drifted up to the centre during the day, just to check the score board. It was perfect weather for the most part, but heavy rain Friday night brought out many volunteers in the early am to slush out water and prepare the diamonds for Saturday’s day of play according to Amanda Kyle, tournament organizer and member of WI’s Community Centre Board. “Much thanks to our wonderful volunteers. I don’t how we could have finished without their help,” she said. Over 500 people lined the “B” Diamond at the Community Centre as the A and B Championship games took place on Saturday Night. Some watching the game and some visiting, but all having fun! The awards presentation followed immediately with Amanda at the helm. First Up was a surprise presentation from Mayor Denis Doyle. To the delight and loud cheers of the home crowd, most members of life long island families, the Mayor announced that Frontenac Islands- Wolfe Island
ward was successful in its bid for a $75,000 Ontario Trillium Grant to go towards a roof over the rink. “ There have been a number of successful fund raising efforts (Hockeyville, Music Fest, etc.) that raised many thousands of dollars already,” he said. “The $75,000 Trillium grant will go a long way. Councillor Springgay, Councillor Grant and I recently approved going ahead with the roof and having it up by fall hopefully for an extended season through to the end of March.” Doyle read from MPP John Gerretsen’s letter of regret at not being there for the announcement of the provincial grant. “I am aware that putting a roof over the ice pad has received a great deal of attention from islanders. Congratulations to everyone in the community for their dedication and commitment to fund raising. I look forward to attending an event celebrating the opening of the roof hopefully sometime in November,” his letter concluded to more very loud cheers… Trophys were then presented to the 2013 “A” Division Champs, “The Orr Family Team” and to the “B” Division Champs, “The Brian Hulton Jr. Family”. The Bill Kyle Sportsmanship trophy was presented to the “McKenna –Van Hal Family” by Karen Kyle. The WI Community Centre Board’s Paul Hogan was honoured with a new award for his long time efforts towards sports generally, and specifically fund raising for the rink its refrigeration and a roof. It was presented by Mark Lollar. Lollar noted the presence of 1962/63 Sacred Heart Pee Wee team members. “There was talk about a roof then and now its happening, “ he said. Extra prizes came from the Casey’s, WI Grill owners “ Thanks to All,” Amanda said as the day concluded. “See you, same time next year “ Continued on page 19

EMC Lifestyle - Virgil Garrett was born on a farm in eastern Ontario in 1922. He lives today in Sharbot Lake and owns a 1916 Model T Ford purchased in pieces about 50 years ago. He took the car out for an â&#x20AC;&#x153;off roadâ&#x20AC;? spin about three years ago: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started with a fellow shop instructor who casually mentioned I should own a Model T. After parting with a few dollars, I became the owner of a frame, springs, engine running gear, body, and a few extra parts. I had obtained my driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license on a Model T and felt the necessary parts for restoration could be found somewhere. Cleaning the engine of grease, grime, and dirt, revealed serial number C98603, which matched the same number on the brass nameplate under the dash. My car is a Canadian-made 1916 model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extra parts are where you find them: fence corners, stone piles, ga-
rages, flea markets, or old barns. Help came from friends, neighbours and even strangers in finding a radiator, round gas tank, coal-oil sidelights, turtle deck, windshield, wheels with wooden felloes (a wooden rim inside the outer metal rim into which spokes fit), and 30x31/2 tires (daughter Anne bought her dad new tires in 2000). I also acquired a 1916 hard cover ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual with detailed information essential in a restoration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I removed dirt with a wire brush, sanded parts to bare metal, undercoated the body, and filled pits which were then re-sanded to a smooth finish so I could paint them. I also welded broken parts, and shaped new body metal, which was formed, fitted, and fastened together with rivets and wood screws. Wooden parts were also rebuilt, seats reupholstered, back cushions pinned in place, while top and top pads were re-sewn. And if pieces are missing, you make new ones, as I did. The restoration offset the many frustrations I went through to reach the finished product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have many Model T memories: driving my first car over gravel roads

Bridges to other worlds
together to form a bridge-humming version of Canada’s national anthem. You can search “LaSalle Causeway O Canada” on the Internet and you’ll find the video and hear the bridge sing. Some of the must-see bridges of the world include: The Brooklyn Bridge, The Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), The Tower Bridge (London), The Ha’penny Bridge (Dublin, over the River Liffey), the covered bridges of Pennsylvania, Chapel Bridge (Europe’s oldest 1333 - wooden bridge, Switzerland), Sydney Harbour Bridge (Australia), Rialto Bridge (Venice), Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Hungary), China’s Wind and Rain Bridge (no nails or rivets used) on the Linxi River), and Pont du Gard Aqueduct in France. The Point du Gard was constructed by the Romans more than two thousand years ago. No mortar was used. Some of the stones weigh more than six tons. Each was cut with great precision to fit perfectly. Canada doesn’t have any worldfamous bridges. For sure, there’s Confederation Bridge, linking Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. It’s known as the longest bridge over ice in the world, a dubious distinction. There’s also New Brunswick’s Hartland Bridge, the world’s longest covered bridge. One of the reasons I love this region in eastern Ontario is the existence of the 1000 Islands Bridges, including the world’s shortest international bridge (between Canada and US Customs). Nearby, just across the border, are some stunning examples of bridges. In Pennsylvania’s Amish country you’ll find numerous covered bridges that will take you back in time. One of the most famous bridges in the world, The Brooklyn Bridge, links Manhattan with Brooklyn. It opened to the public on May 24, 1883. The bridge plays a prominent role in the movie Kate and Leopold, where it serves as a portal between

EMC Lifestyle - The analysis of my fascination with bridges will be left to those who possess greater wisdom. All I know is that I love bridges: looking at them, taking photographs of them, walking across them, exploring under and around them, flying above them and climbing them. They enchant me like few other human-made structures can. Bridges take us to new places, lands, and worlds. Maybe it’s my Celtic blood, always wanting to wander and explore. During my high school years, I cut across a field between my home and school. I trekked across a small bridge over a creek four times daily. When I’m in New York City, there’s nothing I enjoy more than exploring the bridges of Central Park or walking the Brooklyn Bridge for no other reason than the experience of walking it. I remember a flight I took from Hawaii to San Francisco, landing in the California city near sunset. The pilot was on his retiring flight, and this was the last commercial landing of his career. He announced that we were in a holding pattern as the airport was busy. He may have done this on purpose: We circled above the Golden Gate Bridge for several minutes. I was mesmerized. There’s something magical, or at least mystical, about bridges. Every time I sit near one a story comes into my awareness. Somewhere under or around that bridge there’s an entrance to another world, a magical world full of fairies and wondrous sights, secret treasures, hidden knowledge. In Kingston, we have our own musical bridge. The LaSalle Causeway recently attained some glory for its rendition of O Canada. Jared Coleman and John Sanfilippo recorded the sounds of many vehicles crossing the bridge. Depending on variables like velocity, type of tire and weight of vehicle, you can hear different pitches. After recording these sounds, Coleman and Sanfilippo spliced them

ENCHANTÉ sessions. Central Park in New York has many bridges and arches that serve as bridges. I’ve spent many hours sitting and staring at Gapstow Bridge in the park’s southeast corner. It’s one of the most inspirational and stunningly beautiful bridges in the world. Perhaps it’s just a matter of fond memories opening my heart to associating bridges with love. As a child, I would go fishing with my father. Nothing serious. Just pleasant time together. We’d find a bridge, sit on it and drop our fishing lines into the water. I also have fond memories of walking barefoot across a bridge near cottages we rented in Sylvan Beach or Saranac Lake, New York. The most significant childhood memory (that includes my own children) is playing the game of Pooh Sticks. If you’re not familiar with it, Pooh Sticks comes from the writings of British author A. A. Milne in House at Pooh Corner. All you need to play the game is a running stream
Continued from page 23
A young woman in love would write her own name and her cherished one’s name on a padlock and affix it to the railing of Serbia’s Most Ljubavi (Bridge of Love). Over the past decade, locks have been appearing on bridges around the world, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia. In Ottawa, you can now find hundreds of love locks on the pedestrian bridge crossing the Rideau Canal between the University of Ottawa and Somerset Street. I think it’s a wonderful tradition, and provided it doesn’t affect the structural integrity of the bridge, I think they should be left alone. I checked with an engineer and he rolled his eyes and told me it might just give bureaucrats a reason to create another set of rules, regulations and policies. In other words, he wasn’t worried about these things affecting the structural integrity of bridges; he was more concerned about paper-pushers’ ob-

of water, a bridge (preferably a small wooden footbridge) and a stick. Any number of players drop (no throwing allowed) their sticks or twigs into the water on the upstream side of the bridge, run to the downstream side and watch to see whose comes out first. I’ve played this game with my family in many locations, including on a small wooden bridge over a stream on the grounds of Blarney Castle in Ireland and in secluded waters in Hawaii. There aren’t a lot of rules, but the stick must be a natural twig of some sort. Extending the rules a bit, we’ve used popsicle sticks at times. As for prizes, we’ve used such treasures as winner gets to pick the treat of the afternoon (popsicles or ice cream) or what we have for dinner. It’s a healthy game, physically and emotionally. You’ll notice that no purchase of plastic or electronic toys is required. It is played outdoors. And, it’s good for all ages, from toddlers to slow-moving great-grandparents. Parents and
teens love it, too. It taps into some universal childhood that is good for all of us. Carl Jung might have proposed that bridge symbolism has something to do with transitions and

Freudians would invariably find some unconscious sexual reference. I prefer the simpler approach. A bridge is a magical entrance to another world. Most of all, you need a bridge to play Pooh Sticks.

New pop art series opens at Studio 22 Reporter
EMC News - There is an exciting series coming to Studio 22 this month, and you may have seen some of the images around Kingston already. Cam Schaefer, a local artist, musician and illustrator, has been working on his Pop Art Series for the past year, and is excited to be getting the word and images out in the city. “We got buttons printed and have

been leaving them throughout the city as kind of a promotional device for the series,” Schaefer says. “The buttons being spread around makes it as though my art is already on exhibit. It’s really neat to see and really makes it fun.” The button features a hand on a red background, an image that is at the centre of the series. This series marks the first solo artist showing for Schaefer, who celebrated a book publishing at Studio 22 in the past. While these pieces are a bit of a departure from his musician roots, Schaefer doesn’t see it that way. He draws inspiration for this series from pop art greats like Andy Warhol and Sol Lewitt but also from music. “Lewitt said that the narrative of series art is more like music than it is a book or literature. It is not something you could necessarily write a book about - it is more like music and that is what led me to combining my music interests with art. The series art is repetitive and there is something soothing about that for me as a musician.” Schaefer also sees a musical connection in his collaboration with Studio 22 owner Hersh Jacob: “The metaphor has always been music for us. Over the years, it has become the way that we work on everything we collaborate on. We play with the variations of a theme and then decide which ones we want to produce.” The show features three methods of art production: India ink images that are drawn with paint and brush; silk screen prints of images; and digital images which are called gyclee prints. Schaefer produced the original images that were then either reprinted on silk screen or digitally enhanced by Jacob. Other pieces have emerged from those

methods as well. “I am in my studio now trying to copy the digital images and reproduce them with brush and ink, Schaefer explains. “In that way we are very much like a band, where we collaborate on different ideas and reproduce each others’ ideas. We don’t talk about it, it just happens and it creates a really great flow for us.”
The series opens on Saturday, Aug.17 at 320 King St. E from 8 10:30 p.m. The opening event will include live music, food, drinks and hopefully many viewers and perspective buyers. “As a gallery owner I always look to make things a little punchy and interesting,” Jacob says. “This to me is really exciting and new. Our main exposure comes from our
openings and we really want to emphasize with this event that the images are priced for students as well. We want to see more of the student community coming and checking out what we have to offer. There are pieces here for everyone.” For more information on Studio 22, the series and Cam Schaefer, check out their website at www.studio22.ca.

EMC Business - Janette Leroux wants to change the way our society view health – both through the research she does while working toward her PhD in health studies at Queen’s, and through the business she created as part of the summer company program, Upstream Health Solutions. Leroux offers research and consulting services to health-related businesses, organizations and agencies, such as registered dieticians and family health teams. “It’s a really nice way to balance my academic skill set with a practical application,” she says. “I’m working with groups and other businesses that work to promote the health and wellbeing of others.” Specifically, Leroux assists her clients in synthesizing nutrition literature, navigating the local food environment, and preparing for media interviews. Through it all, she spreads awareness of her health philosophy, which focuses largely on preventative health solutions. She explains that her diverse academic background allowed her to arrive at this mindset: “I did my undergrad and my master’s degrees in basic sciences, so I approach problems very systematically,” says Leroux. “But I realized while doing that it was all very disease-oriented. I sort of had a shift in paradigm where I wanted to look at health instead of disease, which seems like a subtle difference, but really it’s a big difference.” Leroux focuses on how not just individuals but entire populations can be healthy and live a high quality of life. In order for this to happen, she says, equitable living environments are essential, as people must be given equal opportunities to be healthy. “Instead of that, what tends to happen with health is there’s a lot of fingerpointing - a lot of blaming the victim ideologies where we see an individual who is obese and we say, that person does not exercise and that person does not eat healthy,” Leroux notes. She believes that instead, society and especially health professionals need to focus on ways of supporting that individual in creating health in their current state, and devising ways to intervene so they can live in a healthful state for as long as possible. Finding ways of structuring society to minimize such health issues in the first place is also important. “I think it boils down to my fundamental belief that health is a human right,” Leroux says. “Looking at the extraneous factors versus the intrinsic factors, it really sort of boils down to the physical or social determinants. It’s been proven that it’s not just will power that counts, it’s other social and environmental factors.” Indeed, she explains that elements of health trickle down in ways that are not generally considered, and that everything from restaurants’ outdoor patios to the level racial and gender equality contribute to a society’s overall state of health. Even after she returns to her studies in the fall, Leroux hopes to continue Upstream Health Solutions, and assist other professionals in imple-

menting these kinds of concepts on a part-time basis. She notes that she would also consider this kind of consulting businesses as a career option once she has graduated. “It’s something I’ve invested time and money in this summer and it’s been a fantastic experience,” she says. “The folks at summer company have been incredible to work with. It’s just an interesting way to pair your experiences and academic background into a tangible venture… It’s been a tremendous opportunity for me this summer so I’m very appreciative.”

Women’s Art Festival celebrates 32 years in Kingston By: Mandy Marciniak Reporter
EMC Events - The 32nd annual Kingston Women’s Art Festival is taking place on Sunday, Aug. 18 at City Park from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. - and this year’s festival promises to bigger and better than ever. The festival was started in the late 1970s by a group of women who were interested in promoting the work of female artists in the community. The purpose of the event is to celebrate women’s creativity, provide a forum for artists, encourage women to meet and exchange ideas and fundraise for local women’s organizations. This year’s organizer, Anna Kovachis, is new to the festival as an organizer but is a long-time attendee. “I took over organizing the committee this year because the woman that has historically done it for many years needed to step out for her own health,” she says. “But the main reason I got involved was because if I didn’t it wasn’t going to happen. It is a fabulous festival and I have attended over the years. I just didn’t want to see it not go on.” Planning the festival has been a pretty easy assignment for Kovachis. “The artists run themselves and we have an organizer for the musical acts who has arranged an impressive lineup for the main stage this year,” she explains. “We also have a volunteer that has taken over the children’s area, so that will be back this year. The logistics were easy. The festival pretty much runs itself by now. I also have a wonderful network of friends that will be there as supporters and volunteers on the day of the event. ” Volunteers are at the heart of the festival, and without them Kovachis says she would be at a loss: “We have so many great volunteers
and we couldn’t do the festival without them. We also have a new website this year and the online application on there has made the organization much easier.” This process has also made it easier for the event to welcome some new acts and artists. Kovachis notes that about 30 per cent of the artists every year are new artists. “We have some young artists coming in this year that are under 16, and that is really great to see,” she says. “Right now we have about 200 artists in total that will be at the event, representing about 160 booths.” The festival attracts a great mix of local and not-so-local artists who come to see what it’s all about. “It has become known as a premier arts festival in Ontario and because of that we now have artist from different areas in Ontario that want to join in and participate” says Kovachis. Profits from the festival and silent auction go to a number of women’s organizations in the area. Over the past 30 years, the festival has donated close to $100 000. Donations are given in December, after all the bills from the festival have been paid. “In September we ask organizations to submit applications for project funding,” explains Kovachis. “Then at the end of December we distribute the funds to those organizations. I think this is what really motivates people to come out and contribute.” The event runs rain or shine, but Kovachis is sure that it will be great either way. “I’m confident that it will be great rain or shine, but we would love to have a nice day for people to enjoy,” she remarks.

Local authors gear up for the fifth annual Kingston WritersFest By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
EMC Events - Over the last five years, Kingston’s WritersFest has grown into one of the Canada’s premier literary events, attracting the top authors from across the country. This year, many big names like Margaret Atwood, Joseph Boyden and Anne Michaels will attend the festival, which takes place Sept. 25 – 29 at the Holiday Inn. WritersFest holds extra special meaning, however, for Kingston’s own writers and literary enthusiasts, who gathered at the Holiday Inn on the evening of Aug. 8 to launch the 2013 WritersFest and celebrate the event’s fifth anniversary. Local author Wayne Grady plans on using the festival as a way of promoting his new novel, Emancipation Day, which came out Aug. 1 – appropriately on the 180th anniversary of the day the British Empire emancipated slaves in 1833. The novel is set in Newfoundland in 1943. It tells of an African Canadian man who passes for white and marries a white woman. The novel details what happens after his new wife meets his black family for the first time. “What’s happened in the last few years is publishers no longer send writers off on big tours across the country anymore, so the festivals kind of take up that role,” Grady explains. “I am doing many festivals, and the Kingston festival is the first of them.” Grady will be reading from Emancipation Day, as well as giving a workshop on writing about family, as the new book is based on his own family’s history. He notes that as Kingston WritersFest happens at the beginning of the season, it is a very important event to the literary community. “It’s such a huge success and a great festival,” Grady says. “Because [artistic director] Merilyn Simonds has done so much to put this festival on the literary map of Canada, it means a tremendous amount to be invited to it and to appear here. It’s like saying, ‘here are the best books of the fall season,’ so to have my book included in that list is very satisfying.” Indeed, he notes that WritersFest is now considered equal in status to similar festivals in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary. “Being from Kingston, it’s great to be a prophet recognized in one’s own city,” Grady adds. “And [The Holiday Inn] is a great place to hold it. There are festivals that are held in conference centres in the middle of cities that don’t have this kind of view, so [Kingston] is a great city to be in when a book comes Anna Kovachis, organizer for this year’s Women’s Art Festival in Kingston, is pictured with out.” For local author Iain Reid, WritersFest a stained glass piece by one of this year’s featured artists. Photo/ Mandy Marciniak
also holds a great deal of meaning. “The first reading I ever did was at the festival here in 2010 when my first book [One Bird’s Choice] came out - I was very nervous and probably was terrible,” he says with a laugh. “I hope I’ve improved since. It’s very good for writers to do, I think - stand up and read their work and feel nervous. All that stuff is good, so I’ve taken advantage of that.” This year, Reid will be participating in several of the events, including the Saturday Night Speakeasy, where he will do a reading from his new book, The Truth About Luck. “There’s a jazz trio that plays in the background,” he says. “I’ve never done that before, so it’ll be intriguing. I’ve heard good things about [the speakeasy event] – people seem to really like it.” Reid notes that one of his favourite aspects of WritersFest is the opportunity to meet readers who live right in his own community. “It’s an opportunity to meet people in the community who are interested in books and writing who I normally don’t get a chance to see or talk to,” he says. “Sometimes you recognize people just from walking around town, and at the festival they come up and say hello and I’m able to put a name to the face which is kind of pleasant.” Reid encourages locals to come out and see for themselves what it’s all about. “I look forward to September,” he says. “Hopefully lots of people come out. I think people should take advantage of it because the festival here has become one of the bright spots on the literary scene in Canada.” Tickets for WritersFest events are now on sale.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, you have a firm grasp on what you need to accomplish in the week ahead. Stay focused on your tasks and that focus will pay off by the end of the week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, your financial burden is a little easier this week. Perhaps you have caught up on bills or have received a little extra money you didn’t expect. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – Gemini, whether you are in a relationship or are looking for a new romantic partner, the next few days are the moments for putting on the charm. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, many things need to get done this week before you can set work aside and take a much-needed vacation. Once you get through the bulk of things, you can relax. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Save some of your good fortune for others, Leo. When you share the wealth, not only will you feel better about yourself, but also you will certainly have more friends around you. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Without you the well-oiled wheels of the work machine just won’t spin correctly, Virgo. That can put a lot of pressure on you in your career, so weigh the options of a day off. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, sometimes you have to be the voice of reason, and this won’t always make you popular with others. Though some may not rally around you this week, they’ll relent. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Something that seemed like a good idea at first glance may not seem like the best thing to do right now, Scorpio. Switch gears while you can still take another path. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, although you may rather spend your time doing something else for the next few days, handle your upcoming obligations without complaint. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Surround yourself with close friends, Capricorn. They will serve as your anchor in difficult situations that may come to pass this week. It’s good to have a support system. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – There is more to you than others see, Aquarius. Sometimes you relish in being mysterious, and this is one of those times. Others’ interest will be piqued. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Don’t take any sniffles or sneezes for granted, Pisces. Make sure this week you pay attention to your health to ensure good days ahead.

Meet Your Market Vendor: aAbBcCdDeEfFgG The Goaty Girls WELCOME Back to School By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
Classes begin Tues. Sept. 3rd
Schools are open the week of August 26 to assist you. Classes begin Tuesday, September 3. The Limestone Board offers unique programs for students in the Arts, French Immersion or for the academically advanced. Whether it is our Full-Day Early Learning Kindergarten, Science Fairs, Athletics, or Apprenticeship programs the LDSB offers students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 an education that is enriched, with program choices and activities to complement the provincial curriculum and develop the whole child.
EMC Business - When Susan Thomson first met her son’s daycare provider, Holly Moyes, over 30 years ago, the two never could have imagined they would one day make up the dynamic duo known as “The Goaty Girls”. The so-named bakery can be found Sundays at the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market. All products, including cinnamon rolls, sweet potato buns and more, contain fresh goat milk produced at Thomson’s farm near Bath. “We started out with a few goats as pets,” Thomson explains. “Then we started milking them and making up our own cookies for our family and friends with the goat milk. Then we just decided we really, really enjoyed it and we would like to come to the market and share.” The Goaty Girls use pasteurized, whole goat milk in their all products. Thomson notes that in addition to producing a great taste, the milk has a number of health benefits. “It’s fresh, and it’s nicer for people that are a little bit lactose intolerant because it has a smaller fat module, so it’s easier to digest for people,” she says. “So a lot of people who can’t tolerate regular cheese can tolerate goat milk cheese.” Some of the milk is turned into chevre cheese, which the Goaty Girls sell at the market after flavouring it with sun-dried tomato and chives. “The chevre is a nice spread to put on your crackers, your bagels or whatever,” Thomson says. “It’s also nice to have in salads, which is great for this time of the year. And it’s fresh – it’s only a few days old when we have it here at the
market.” All the baked goods are made by Moyes and her husband, Ted. “I love to bake,” Moyes says. “I always have. When I worked at the daycare, we baked every Friday – always bread or cinnamon buns. Now I don’t work at the daycare anymore, so this gives me a chance to [continue baking].” The sweet potato rolls in particular, she notes, are a very unique item – not to mention extremely popular with customers. “They’re made with goat milk, and then we bake the sweet potatoes and mash them and they go into the rolls,” she explains. “It’s just something different.” Moyes is quick to point out that she couldn’t possibly do all the baking on her own, and that her husband, Ted, is there by her side each Saturday when it’s time to bake everything for the market the next day. Ted makes all the dough, and is the official “drizzler” of the gooey sugar on all the cinnamon buns and twists. “It’s a big job,” Moyes says, noting that last Saturday they were working from 8 a.m. – 11 p.m. “We bake it all out of our house, so the oven can only do so much at a time. And it has to be done the day before so it’s fresh.” Thomson and Moyes remark that it’s wonderful to see so many of the same faces each week, and that they have been developing a regular customer base of people who come by to stock up on their favourite goat milk products every Sunday. “This is our first year at the market, and it’s been wonderful,” Thomson says. “It’s a really nice community, and just the camaraderie among the people in the stalls is awesome too.”

Washington and Wahlberg team up in fun buddy-cop film
MOVIE: 2 Guns STARRING: Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton, James Marsden, Edward James Canada Olmos, and Jack Bill Paxton DIRECTOR: Baltasar BY JOHN TUCKER Kormakur RATING: 14A EMC Arts - I love a slick buddy-cop film. The kind of gritty crime story where your two heroes have everything and everyone against them, and all they have are their wits, their guns and a few clever oneliners. 2 Guns is just that kind of film. Bobby (Denzel Washington) and Stig
cast isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurting the film either. Paula Patton adds some sizzle to the screen, James Marsden does a nice turn as a rotten guy, and Edward James Olmos nails the ruthless Mexican drug lord. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill Paxton. Paxton plays Earl the CIA agent
messing with everyone, and I must say Paxton has a real knack for playing truly nasty villains. 2 Guns is a summer time gem. Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature of the EMC.

are two things that really stand out. One is the pace of the film. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a non-stop gun fight or car chase which is kind of unusual for a summer movie. Instead director Kormakur takes the time to draw the audience into this seedy and corrupt world. He builds up the story and the characters and intersperses the action almost sparingly which serves to make it more exciting. The second thing is the team of Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. Washington can play anything, is good in anything, and makes whatever movie heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in better. Wahlberg is a great action hero and good actor in his own right. The two together are buddy cop magic. The play between them alone is worth the price of admission. The rest of the

My Take
(Mark Wahlberg) open things up with what looks like a bank robbery. Earlier they made a deal with a Mexican drug lord named Papi Greco (Edward James Olmos). Papi backed out of the deal so the two figure they can get something back by robbing Papiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank. What neither Bobby nor Stig realize is that both of them are working undercover. Bobby is undercover DEA, and Stig is working for naval intelligence. The other thing neither one realizes is that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Papiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank. It is the CIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Someone set Bobby and Stig up to rob an illegal CIA slush fund. Both become wanted men abandoned and betrayed by their own people. The only way out is to work together to figure out who set them up. Of course by that point you almost feel sorry for the villains. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real cathartic pleasure in watching two charismatic heroes with nothing to lose, and who refuse to let the law get in the way of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, do what needs to be done. 2 Guns has that along with some betrayal, corruption, and a double cross or two. Throw in a few gun fights, a little sex appeal, and the kind of sleazy villains that make your skin crawl, and you have a great summer flick. With all that going for 2 Guns, there

Mother was in a fit state for Aunt Lizzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit Columnist
editorial@theheritageemc.ca
EMC Lifestyle - Mother was in a state!  Aunt Lizzie was on her way from Regina for her annual summer visit. As usual, she gave little notice.Â

have to sleep foot-to-foot since the couch was so narrow. Heaven forbid that Aunt Lizzie would sleep on a feather mattress, which was what was on Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my bed! The only felt mattress was on Mother and Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed in the downstairs bedroom. That meant the brothers had to haul down the one from upstairs, and lug the other one upstairs, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t please them a bit. After all, it was a Saturday, and they had planned on a day of fishing in the Bonnechere...not a day spent lugging mattresses up and down the stairs! But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use. That is, all except Father.  He wanted no part of what he considered unnecessary work. He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frantic house cleaning was over! My sister and I also had to give R0012255090

A letter had come just days before she was to arrive. That gave little time for Mother to get the house in spic and span order. Father reminded her she had just torn the whole place upside down for the spring cleaning! â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was months ago, Albert. And you know your sister. She can spot a fleck of dust a mile away.â&#x20AC;? Aunt Lizzie would be given the bed Audrey and I slept in, and that meant we would be sent down to the creton couch in the kitchen, where we would

up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out. What a carry-on, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina! Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County!  There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit lasted! So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to baking. The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of store-bought bread, and a real pound of butter replaced what we ate every day of our lives on the farm. Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Father was concerned, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to change his habits just because Aunt Lizzie was coming with her high-fallootin airs! Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special. One time it was a doll, which, except for its body, was made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China.  I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train in Renfrew Station. She always wore pure white...a white dress in the latest fashion....and a big wide red leghorn hat, and white gloves that went all the way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring!! Tiny red patent-leather shoes com-
pleted the outfit. I would marvel at the wealth of our Western cousins. Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her two sons go to university? And didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t she have a free pass to travel anywhere in the entire country by train. All because Uncle Jack worked for the CPR. And of course, it was Aunt Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send it off to Renfrew on the train. It was the hand-me-down box. Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit. Finally, the house was spotless. We were warned to take our shoes off at the door, not to touch the woodwork which had just been polished, and to make sure our bedrooms were kept spotlessly clean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a tall order for five rambunctious kids. Aunt Lizzie was to arrive in three days.  We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more ready. Then the phone rang one morning, just after our breakfast. It was the stationmaster in Renfrew. There was a telegram from the West. Mother asked him to read it...no use going all the way into town for bad news, or good news, whatever the case may be. It was from Aunt Lizzie, and she was so sorry, but her trip had to be cancelled, because Uncle Jack was getting an unexpected award from the CPR, and it was on the very weekend she planned on leaving! They had been given a trip to Calgary.  Her trip would have to wait until the next summer. Mother asked the stationmaster to read it again. After she hung up the phone, she let out the biggest sigh which I thought could be heard in Douglas!  For supper that night Mother hauled out a pie from the ice box, we all had store-bought bread with real butter, we five kids sat at the table with our shoes on, and there sat Father with his tea in his saucer, cooling it off until it was fit to drink.
