Over 700 people sign petition to keep parking on midtown’s Princess Street

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – The owners of a Kingston diner want their city councillors to do some back-pedalling – fast. They are furious over council’s recent decision to install bike lanes on a 1.2 kilometre section of midtown’s Princess Street, a move that will lead to the elimination of 66 on-street parking spaces between Bath Road and Division Street. “It’s a bad decision,” said Ida-Mae Lows, co-owner of the Star Diner at 849 Princess Street. Lows and her husband, David Blodgett, started a petition after learning of council’s August 13 decision, which quickly grew to over 700 signatures. The petition urges council to reverse its decision to remove dozens of street parking spaces. “I’m willing to compromise on the bike lanes, but not the parking. This place will be a ghost town,” complained Lows. Eight or nine street parking spaces will be lost right in front of her business at Princess

Street and Drayton Avenue when the city pushes ahead with road reconstruction and the bike lanes next year. City officials have said Princess Street isn’t wide enough to accommodate both on-street parking and ‘buffered’ bike lanes. They also warned that any delay in deciding the bike lane issue could put the entire road reconstruction project in jeopardy for 2014. Lows says the lost parking spots could spell the restaurant’s demise as many of the customers are elderly. “That would only leave four spaces on Drayton Avenue. The rest of the spots are all private parking,” she added. What makes Lows even more frustrated is that she says she knew nothing about the bike lane proposal and its impact on street parking until after council’s decision was made. “I would’ve fought it sooner but I wasn’t told. I’m fighting it now,” she explained. She says local and national media publicity over her plight has prompted customers, neighbouring business owners and other residents to pop into her diner and sign the petition, including Conservative Senator

Hugh Segal. She’s also contacted Liberal MP Ted Hsu to see if there’s anything he can do to reverse the decision. An attempt to scrap the bike lane proposal was defeated 8-5 at council. Mayor Mark Gerretsen and councillors Rick Downes, Kevin George, Bill Glover, Rob Hutchison, Lisa Osanic, Liz Schell and Jim Neill, who represents Williamsville district, cast votes in favour of bike lanes. Mayor Gerretsen says he has not decided whether to change his vote if the matter returns to council for reconsideration. When informed of the petition, he said bike lane opponents should’ve made their feelings known long before council approved the project. “Why weren’t these people engaged in the process when we were deliberating about it?” he wondered. Gerretsen later remarked the city had “failed” its residents by not notifying them sooner about important projects. Getting the bike lane matter back on the council agenda won’t be easy. Procedural rules say it would require a two-thirds council vote – at least 8 of the 13 members – just

to reopen the debate. That means at least three council members who initially supported bike lanes would have to change their votes to join with the five councillors who already oppose bike lanes. Those opposing bike lanes are Councillors Sandy Berg, Dorothy Hector, Bryan Paterson, Jeff Scott and Brian Reitzel. Coun. Scott took a city-wide perspective against giving cyclists their own dedicated lanes on Princess Street. “The point is what the rest of the city hears out of this.” He added: “It’s one thing to hold a Williamsville plan and have the locals think they want this, and when you present it to the rest of the city and say this is what we’re going to create here, and you have to pay for it. You won’t be able to park there.” Petitions are often presented by the district councillor but instead of giving it to Coun. Neill, who favours bike lanes, Lows says she plans to give her 700-plus name petition to east end councillor Reitzel. He is expected to present it to council at its next meeting September 10, which may involve an attempt to reopen the debate.

1000 Islands Casino mayors up the ante in gambling location debate By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News - Supporters of the 1000 Islands casino believe they have gained the upper hand in their bid to keep it from moving to Kingston. Officials with the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands (TLTI) have launched a process to allow for the casino’s future ex-

pansion. The township is undertaking Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendments to support increased square footage, height and additional complementary uses such as hotels, commercial uses and conference centre. The expansion plan was part of a presentation to Ontario finance minister Charles Sousa by TLTI mayor Frank Kinsella and Gananoque mayor Erika Demchuck – both commu-

nities share slot machine revenues from the 1000 Islands casino. The facility is located in TLTI, while water and sewer services are provided by Gananoque. Their meeting with Sousa took place at the recent conference of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario in Ottawa, attended by municipal and provincial government leaders. In addition to the expansion plans, Kinsella and Demchuck also stressed to Sousa the casino’s economic importance to their communities and the devastation its relocation would cause, noting that; -casino revenues currently represent 15 percent TLTI’s annual operating budget, and 15 percent of Gananoque’s budget, -both communities have lost 765 jobs since 2003, -the 1000 Islands casino is the area’s largest

employer and attracts 830,000 visitors a year. The two mayors made it clear their local economies are deeply reliant on the jobs created by the gambling facility, and their annual budgets are tied closely to casino revenues. “Should the 1000 Islands casino be relocated, the cost of municipal services will present a significant burden on the remaining residential and commercial sector in TLTI and the Town (of Gananoque). Further, finding a replacement use for the casino building will pose a great economic challenge,” according to information provided to Sousa. The mayors asked the finance minister to consider the economic losses to communities when allowing private casino operators to decide where to build. The process of choosing a casino operator is taking a little longer than expected, but the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) expects to begin the search this fall for a successful proponent to own and manage three gaming zones: Peterborough, Belleville/Quinte and Kingston/Gananoque. Supporters of the 1000 Islands casino also used their meeting with the minister to portray the City of Kingston’s quest for hosting a private casino as unpopular and un-

necessary. They pointed to a recent independent survey, done by Abacus, that found 60-percent of Kingstonians do not want a casino, and a further 78-percent support a referendum on the issue. In addition, the delegation warned Sousa that locating a casino in Kingston would cause “overlap” by having it too close to the proposed Belleville/Quinte casino. Kingston’s mayor attended the same Ottawa conference but says he didn’t get involved in the casino tug-of-war during his meetings with senior-ranking provincial government officials. “That’s not a priority for us right now,” said Mark Gerretsen. Kingston voted 7-5 last October to pursue hosting a casino under the OLG’s modernization plan, but there can only be one facility in the Kingston/Gananoque zone. Gerretsen says he has no qualms with other municipal leaders wanting to push their agendas, but insists the casino issue is “not a political issue.” “It’s an issue being driven by the OLG and I don’t believe there’s a lot of political influence to be made there (on the casino issue),” he said in an interview after returning from AMO.

Calling all artists: Come experience “plein air” in Williamsville with the Kingston School of Art hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Events - The Kingston School of Art (KSOA) is inviting both experienced and novice artists to come “Paint the Town” with them Sept. 13-15 in the city’s historic Williamsville neighbourhood. Paint the Town represents the first time Kingston has participated in the International Plein Air Painters’ Worldwide Paint Out, which has taken place in many cities throughout the world over the last 11 years. Plein air, meaning “open air” painting, was developed in France in the mid-19th Century, and made famous by groups like the French impressionist and the Group of Seven here in Canada. Plein air artists work outdoors, drawing inspiration from natural light and the uniqueness of their surroundings. “It’s a really unusual thing to do [now],” says KSOA president Primrose Craig. “Everyone thinks, ‘oh I’ll just go snap a photograph’, but sometimes it’s getting the emotion and getting your own impression from a subject or a certain landscape that just has a more soulful connection, I think.” “For people like myself who really like being outdoors, it’s an excuse just to get outside and spend some time in nature,” adds Paint the Town coordinator Rebecca Spaulding. Craig says that so far they have had some very talented, experienced artists

fair, which will be taking place during Paint the Town. “We’re going to be providing everybody with a map and descriptions of each of the areas,” Spaulding says. “Williamsville is really unique because it’s not homogeneous. There are different little sections there that are really interesting on their own, and so I think that’s an opportunity for Kingstonians and people from outside Kingston to come and see it and discover a new place.” In the event of rain, Paint the Town will be held inside the Kingston School of Art.

sign up, as well as a number of beginners. “Part of the whole point of it is bringing them together, as we really want to [encourage] young people to come try it out,” she explains, noting that the KSOA will be putting together packages of donated plein air supplies to be used by beginner participants who do not have materials of their own. Indeed, Spaulding remarks that this is a great opportunity for people who have never done plein air painting to come try it out. “There will be lots of other artists around who can give them some tips on how to do it,” she says. “It’s an excellent opportunity for artists to meet each other and find some people that maybe they’ll go out and paint independently with to learn more about plein air. We’re hoping to have a demonstration of some plein air products, too.” The fact that Paint the Town is taking place in the KSOA’s home neighbourhood of Williamsville is also significant. “The school has been here 16 years,” Craig says. “We’re sort of in with the woodwork.” The district is currently undergoing significant revitalization, something that Craig and Spaulding note is worth celebrating through art. It is also filled with many unique and historic streets and buildings, all just begging to be drawn and painted - not to mention the Memorial Centre, the farmers’ market, and the fall

City officials craft new policy to make pet owners more ‘responsible’ By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News - Most pet owners in Kingston don’t give a second thought to buying a tag from City Hall for their cats or dogs. But those days may be coming to an end as the city moves to reduce the tax burden of caring for stray or unwanted animals. Sweeping new rules to promote responsible pet ownership in Kingston are expected to be presented to city council this fall. The policy is currently being fine-tuned at the committee level. For the past several months, a working group of animal care professionals, city staff and councillors has conducted a review of methods to encourage pet owners to have their cats and dogs registered annually and to have them spayed or neutered. The proposed Responsible Pet Ownership Program (RPOP) has both incentives and penalties to achieve that goal, many of them patterned after the City of Calgary’s pioneering bylaw. Among the working group’s recommendations; free initial license registration for pets under the age of six months or for pets that have already been spayed or neutered, discounts for microchip identification of pets, establishing a low cost

spay/neuter clinic, and higher fines for untagged animals found at large and later claimed by their owner. For cats, the proposed tag fees will range from $8 when it’s fixed and has a microchip, to $30 if it’s not fixed and doesn’t have a microchip. For dogs, the fees will range from $30 to $60. There are also multi-pet discounts for tag purchases. The city sold 1,612 pet tags up to June of this year, but experts believe that’s only a fraction of the pet population. An estimated 85 per cent of Kingston cats and dogs are not tagged and registered with the city. Officials say the tag fees are consistent with what other municipalities are charging to offset the cost of impounded animals, while striking a fair balance between owners who register their pets and those who don’t. To implement and enforce the new measures, city staff plan to launch a public education campaign, conduct a door-to-door sales campaign to sign up pet owners for registration, beef up animal control enforcement and monitor websites where many pets are bought or sold. The rules are still subject to final council approval. The policy aims to reward pet owners who follow the rules by offering lower licensing rates and a free ride home for the first call of a pre-

tagged animal at large (if the owner can be contacted). But the biggest incentive could be the introduction of a low-cost spay/neuter program. The city will spend $50,000 to subsidize low income pet owners who can’t afford veterinarian fees to have their animals fixed. A low cost spayneuter clinic will be set up and pet owners who qualify will get a $100 voucher. “It is the belief of the Working Group that the RPOP will reduce pound service fees which in turn should help to fund the spay/neuter program,” the working group said, adding that increased pet tag sales will also contribute to the cost of subsidizing a low cost spay/neuter service. The Kingston Humane Society, which was recently awarded a fiveyear contract as the city’s animal pound, says the program is key to eventually reducing the financial burden on the shelter and taxpayers. Society president Janice Saunders doubts any program will have much success if pet owners are browbeaten into compliance. That’s why incentives to get their animals tagged and fixed at affordable rates are a cornerstone of this policy, she added. “We want compliance with licensing, we want compliance with regulation, but in order to do that we have to provide sufficient incentives.”

Take a trip around the world without leaving Kingston By: Mandy Marciniak Reporter

it is all free to attend, but none of it would be possible without the numerous volunteers that come out each year and work hard to make the festival a success. “Hopefully the hard work pays off and the weather is with us,” said Noordegraaf, “It is such an amazing event and there really is something for everyone to come out and enjoy.” The festival starts at 11:30 a.m. and runs until 5:30 p.m. For more

EMC Events – It may not be a typical vacation, but this weekend Kingstonians can take a trip around the world and explore new cultures without spending a cent and without the hassle of getting on a plane. The fourth Annual Kingston Multicultural Arts Festival is being held at Confederation Park Sept. 8, and it promises to show the best of 10 different cultural groups prevalent in the community. “I think it is a wonderful festival that all of Kingston really looks forward to,” said Pratima Kapuria, Festival Committee Member and member of the India Canada Association. “The festival is a proud moment for me to show our pavilion and our food and whatever good things we have. Local people can really experience our culture and see something that they may not have been exposed to otherwise.” The festival began as a way to celebrate diversity and the different cultures in the Kingston community. It was initiated by Immigrant Services Kingston and Area (ISKA) and Kingston Immigration Partnership (KIP), two programs of the Kingston Community Health Centre (KCHC). It features 10 different pavilions from unique cultures that are present in the Kingston community. Each culture chooses what to present at the festival. While food and clothing are the most common choices, some groups offer dance lessons and even language lessons.

“We also have artists that will be giving workshops so attendees can learn to play the Japanese drums or steel pans or Egyptian belly dancing,” added Ruth Noordegraaf, Festival Coordinator for KCHC. “The activities are there to encourage the conversation and encourage meeting and interacting with different people.” Attendees will also receive a passport to encourage visiting each culture throughout the day. At each pavilion they visit, they will receive a stamp, and after collecting a certain number of different stamps they will be able to fill out a brief survey on the passport and enter it into a draw for prizes. “I remember my daughter enjoyed the passport so much last year,” remarked Kapuria , “She kept bothering me to move on to the different stations to get the stamps. It gives everyone a goal to accomplish over the course of the day and also gives us some valuable feedback.” The event also features a main stage that will be set up on Ontario Street, which will host a variety of different musical acts throughout the day, some local and some from as far away as Cuba. Also on the main stage and new this year will be a children’s parade to showcase the different cultures featured at the festival. Kids will come dressed in cultural attire and then sing their national anthem for the crowd as a kind of opening ceremony for the festival. It’s hard to believe that so much can be packed into one day and that

Kingston City Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PR machine has â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;failedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residents: Mayor wrote Reporter

EMC News - Mayor Mark Gerretsen says the City of Kingston has failed residents when it comes to communicating important decisions such as installing bike lanes on Princess Street and speed humps on Brock Street. Both transportation-related projects have sparked public criticism over their need and impact. On his municipal blog page, Gerretsen shared the frustration expressed by those who complained they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t informed of city reports, and could not offer public input before the matters were decided by council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of where and how we actually did attempt to notify the public, and advertise the information to you, we failed,â&#x20AC;? the mayor wrote. Gerretsen also stressed the need for city councillors and bureaucrats to â&#x20AC;&#x153;seriously rethinkâ&#x20AC;? the way municipal information is conveyed to citizens. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean city hall will be revisiting bike lanes, speed humps and other controversial decisions of the past. The mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments focus on future efforts to improve communications with the public beyond the traditional methods. His letter follows the latest public backlash to surface over councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent decision to install bike lanes on Princess Street in Williamsville district, which will result in the loss of half of the 126 on-street parking

spaces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decision that caught many business owners by surprise, and they have reacted with a 700plus name petition to keep the parking spots. The question is, did the city do a good enough job of informing citizens? Mayor Gerretsen, who voted in favour of the bike lanes, wondered why opponents waited until after the council decision to register their opposition. However, some Princess Street business owners claim the city notices they received made no mention of the installation of bike lanes or the removal of street parking, just plans for the reconstruction of Princess Street next year. The detailed staff information on bike lanes was available to the public on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and the council agenda. The mayor later took to his blog page to openly criticize the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard methods of public notices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to think outside of our traditional ways of communicating about the work we are doing at Council,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. The mayor has been openly critical of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $250,000 annual media advertising budget, which focuses primarily on posting municipal notices in the daily local newspaper. He wants some of the budget allocated to other mediums and platforms in order to reach more residents about municipal matters. He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To do this, I will continue to encourage council and city staff to seek out new and innovative ways of communication to reflect the world we live in.â&#x20AC;?

McKenna has inspired her friends, classmates and community. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touched many with presentations and speaking opportunities and is excellent with reporters.

In Our Opinion

Little of value in Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new charter

Yo gabba what? Hollie Pratt-Campbell Assistant Editor

@hollieprattcamp

EMC Editorial - The other night, Steve and I were enjoying a typical post-babybedtime evening of TV and Pinot Grigio. Mindy Kaling was the guest judge for a delightful rom com-themed quick fire on Top Chef Masters, and I was basking in my happy place. All of a sudden, some giant, colourful monsters bounded into the kitchen. It turned out there were from a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show called Yo Gabba Gabba, and were there to inspire the chefs to prepare a meal that was both gourmet and kid-friendly. Steve and I are still in the early stages of becoming acquainted with childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programming, as Summer is only just getting to an age where she is willing to sit and be engaged by something on a screen for more than 30 seconds. These days, it seems like a lot of people are against children watching TV. (Though I should note that this attitude seems much more prominent among the Internet supermoms of the world than parents I know in real life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to get up on your high horse and paint an idealistic picture of your kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect childhood when no one actually has to witness you parenting in real life, or because people who think

TV is evil are by nature prone to bragging about their belief online.) Anyway, I for one think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful that Summer is developing an interest in TV shows, as it means she will sit quietly in her high chair for 20 minutes watching a Wiggles episode on my laptop while I make dinner or clean the kitchen. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her sitting in front of the TV or YouTube all day or anything, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something she enjoys and it makes my life easier so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fan. But I digress. Like I said, kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TVwatching is still a fairly new development in our house, and has thus far been limited mostly to The Wiggles because Summer still has little tolerance for anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not 90 per cent music. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being perfectly honest with myself, I kind of like The Wiggles too. They are charming and goofy in the manner of early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s Beatles, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And the music itself isâ&#x20AC;Śnotâ&#x20AC;Śbad. Sure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of embarrassing when I catch myself singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;mashed potato, mashed potatoâ&#x20AC;? under my breath while in line at Farmboy (yes, I am lyrically challenge in addition to being prone to making a fool of myself), but the good part is I can chalk The Wiggles up to being something Summer and I can enjoy together. Still, I think we were both craving a change, so the morning after watching the Yo Gabba Gabba Top Chefs Masters episode I decided to see what this monster business was all about. I found the show on YouTube and

pressed play. The good news: Summer could not take her eyes off the computer. The bad news: neither could I. All of a sudden the screen was awash with a hodgepodge of bright lights and colours, with something that sounded like it could be music blaring through the speakers. The song (which was kind of like a rap only with all sorts of creepy-sounding voices in the background) was encouraging kids to eat healthy by showing that all foods, even carrots and green beans, want to attend the â&#x20AC;&#x153;party in your tummyâ&#x20AC;?. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think my senses quite knew what hit them. Once the episode finished, it took me a good 20 minutes to recover. Even then, the only thing I could think to do was tweet: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watched Yo Gabba Gabba for the first time. Feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of stimulation in 10 minutes.â&#x20AC;? The tweet got a lot of response from other parents, which made me feel better: I was not alone in feeling like I had been on an acid trip. At the risk of sounding like an old person, when I was a toddler all we needed was Sharon, Lois and Bram on stage with a guitar and a person dressed up in a giant elephant costume. Apparently, it takes quite a bit more to entertain todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generation of little ones. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just try to see Yo Gabba Gabba as the late-â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s Beatles progression from The Wiggles.

8 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, September 5, 2013

EMC Editorial - The Parti Quebecois announced plans last week to institute of a province-wide â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charter of Valuesâ&#x20AC;? that would see public servants prevented from wearing religious clothing such as turbans, niqabs, kippas, hijabs and â&#x20AC;&#x153;highly visible crucifixesâ&#x20AC;?. We feel that this initiative is being proposed for all the wrong reasons, and moreover that it is not the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place to begin censuring symbols of religious affiliation. After all, we strongly doubt that the PQ will begin razing the innumerable vestiges of Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious past, let alone embarking on the daunting process of renaming city streets and towns. If people are going to walk away from their religious traditions, let it be because they have made the conscious decision to do so, and not because the state has told them itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s either the turban or termination. This kind of policing of religious and personal freedoms can only result in increased society-wide ethnic cleavages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; indeed, the PQ may be unwittingly (or, for the more conspiratorially-minded, wittingly) perpetuating a culture of intolerance and ethnocentrism that can only increase in years to come if this ban is enforced. One need only look at the polling on this issue to see where the social divides are. Sixty-five per cent of francophones support the Charter, whereas only 25 per cent of anglophones and 33 per cent of allophones (i.e. those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English) support the bill. Is there any wonder why the leader of the PQ, Pauline Marois, and the architects of this bill have been criticized as pandering to their base? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the question of who exactly is a public servant? Certainly, there will be guidelines available online for any who wish to see them, but that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent some people from thinking that the airline stewardess in the niqab is rebel employee flaunting the new laws, or that the contracted janitor wearing a kippa in a public is space is way out of bounds and should be spoken to immediately by management. The separation of church and state has been shown by history to be an unqualified good, but it only remains to be so if it respects an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to choose. Once the state starts to encroach on the personal freedoms of its citizens, it can ignite a powder keg of social tensions that many countries around the world are just beginning to recover from.

Re: To boycott or not to boycott? Â The Sochi question... Â Dear editor, The suggestion to move the 2014 winter Olympics is commendable but not possible at this late date. Â Years of complex planning go into the execution of an enormous event the size and scope of the Olympics. Â The planning and organizational requirements, facility preparation, volunteer and staff coordination, let alone the enormous cost, all combine to make staying put the only option. Â But keeping the games in Sochi is not all bad.

the Russian Government has anticipated. Â And with this scrutiny, social change may be possible. Â Without it, the legislation may quietly continue to punish members of the LGBTÂ RussianÂ community. Â If the athletes of the world attend at Sochi, with the aid of the (more than willing) media, enforcement of the legislation wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible. Â And what could be more satisfying for any LGBT athlete than to rock the Olympics in Sochi and stand tall on the podium?

Taylor Allan Memorial Concert celebrates its third year By: Mandy Marciniak Reporter

EMC Events – There is nothing more difficult than losing a loved one, especially when that loved one is your child. Unfortunately, Ken Allan had to deal with such a tragedy when he lost his daughter Taylor in April of 2008. “She was at a friend’s house and she passed out,” recalls Allan. “She had to be taken to the hospital and by the time we got there she was unresponsive. We had no idea what was going on. We found out later that she was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia known as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular CardioMyopathy (ARVC).” Sadly, many kids across North America die from ARVC each year and in most cases they were never even aware that they had the condition. The only symptoms that may appear are fainting and a feeling of unwellness. While Taylor had fainted previously, the doctors and her family didn’t think anything of it. Taylor was a happy, healthy, sportsoriented individual, which made her death even more shocking. Allan is still struggling with the pain of losing his daughter but instead of dwelling, he has turned her death into a positive by hosting a memorial concert in Kingston

in the hopes of raising awareness about ARVC. “This is my way of making sure that people remember her. I never want her to be forgotten and at the same time I want her situation to be used as an example for others,” explained Allan, who is now busy planning the third annual concert. “This is my favorite time of the year, around March when I start organizing this event for Taylor and start knocking on doors asking people to contribute.” The event has certainly seen a lot of success over the past years, raising close to $18,000 for the Limestone Learning Foundation (LLF). All of the proceeds go to the LLF with a special amount set aside for the Taylor Allan Memorial Fund. The fund helps students that are going off to pursue post-secondary education. Recipients are selected by high school guidance counselors. “We give money out each year to selected students who exhibit the qualities most like Taylor. She was very outgoing, athletic and everyone loved her,” explained Allan. “The past two years it has been two names from two different schools and we give them $250 each, which is not a lot of money but it is something to help them out a little as they move on to pursue more edu-

cation.” This year’s events will be similar to past years with a silent auction, live auction and multiple local bands performing. The event will be held on Saturday Sept. 7 at the 560 Legion at 734 Montreal Street and starts at 6 p.m. Kingstonians can come out and enjoy the entertainment for just $10. This year, Allan has a special guest planned. In addition to all of the musical acts, Buzz Collins will be performing his hypnotist show for all attendees. Allan clearly enjoys planning the event and watching others enjoy the entertainment, but for him the event is really about ARVC and raising awareness. “My primary goal with all of this is to always to raise awareness. My long-term goal is to get a program going in Kingston that involves screening kids between Grades 6 and 9 to try and prevent something like this from happening to other parents. We had no idea and when it happened. It was like someone hit me in the stomach with a sledgehammer and it took me a long time to get over it. I am still not over it, This is just my way of dealing with it. I just want to turn it into a positive. For more information on ARVC, the Taylor Allan Memorial Fund or the memorial concert, go to www. taylorallan.webs.com

Taylor Allan was only 16 when she died from ARVC, a condition that her father hopes to raise awareness about through an annual memorial concert.

Bottle Tree Productions brings Les Miserables to Kingston By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Entertainment - It’s hard to turn down a one-night-only event featuring 100 of Kingston’s finest singers performing one of the most beloved musicals of our time in one of the Limestone City’s most beautiful churches. On Sept. 28, Bottle Tree Productions will stage Les Miserables in the sanctuary of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. “We wanted it to be a big deal,” says director Anne Mortensen of why the play is only being staged once. “We wanted it to be a really special occasion – a gala event.” The evening is also a fundraiser, and will include refreshments and a silent auction before the show and at intermission. All money raised after costs are covered will be split between St. Andrew’s church and Bottle Tree’s Christmas production of The Sound of Music. Mortensen notes that because of the unconventional church setting, they will need to get a little creative with the staging – though this is not

necessarily a bad thing. “A lot of what you’re not allowed to do [contractually] is copy anything from the Broadway show - none of the choreography, none of the staging, none of the costuming,” she says. They want people to do their own thing. So we’re embracing that and making sure it comes out.” The music will be the central focus of the production. “We’re concerned with the story being told so the audience can follow it, but mostly it’s about the music,” Mortensen says. “We have excellent singers. We go about learning the music, and then after that’s all pretty much done we can do whatever staging we’re going to do, and we’ll costume lightly.” Mortensen remarks that in many ways, holding the musical in the church will add to the production: “There’s a nice visual sense around it. It’s bold and it’s got a very charming atmosphere. And it makes it less separate. When you have the audience up high and the cast is kind of on a bit of a lower level it’s very humbling for every-

body because the audience feels like they’re part of the action and they kind of are. And the cast feels like they have a lot of contact with the audience, which they do.” The sanctuary’s excellent acoustics will also assist the singers. “Even if they wanted to mic the leads, [they wouldn’t have to],” says Danny Young, who plays the lead role of Jean Valjean. “The sounds travel very well. The church is predisposed for that. It’s a nice place to do it.” Young notes that although the musical is proving to be a lot of work for only one night, it’s worth it to be a part of the production. “Jean Valjean’s part is every tenor’s dream,” he says. “It’s going to be a good experience and a good

thrill.” “It makes it even more important for us to have that amazing of a performance, so we can guarantee that that one night is going to be spectacular,” adds Amanda Edwards, who plays Cosette. She says that she too has always dreamed singing in Les Miserables, and specifically playing the role of Cosette: “It’s an honour to be able to do it, especially because a lot of the singers that I really, really love, like Judy Kuhn, have done the role. She was a Cosette that I sort of idolize. She’s just so beautiful and pure and everything I think the character should be. So I try and take that past and bring it into what I’m doing.”

Mortensen has complete faith that the cast will excel at these famously challenging roles, and encourages everyone to come out and see for themselves. “Our leads are exceptional,” she says…. “It’s ambitious, but we wanted it to be a really big project because we wanted to have something to do musically…and to have the opportunity to have a very large chorus.” Les Miserables will be at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Princess and Clergy Streets on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. People are encouraged to get their tickets soon, before they sell out. Tickets are available through the Grand Theatre box office, or by visiting http://galalujah.eventbrite.ca/.

AVIS DE DÉBUT D’ÉTUDE Améliorations opérationnelles aux échangeurs de l’autoroute 401 : Chemin Kingston 38 (G.W.P. 4049-11-00) et Route 15 (G.W.P. 4059-11-00) Conceptions préliminaires et études d’évaluation environnementale L’ÉTUDES Le ministère des Transports de l’Ontario (MTO) a retenu les services de MMM Group Limited pour entreprendre des études séparées de conception préliminaire et d’évaluation environnementale afin de déterminer les améliorations opérationnelles susceptibles d’être apportées aux échangeurs de l’autoroute 401, c’est-à-dire au chemin Kingston 38 (échangeur 611) et à la route 15 (échangeur 623) dans la ville de Kingston. Les études détermineront les améliorations à court et à long terme, qui pourraient inclure le déplacement des bretelles ou du parc-o-bus, l’élargissement ou le remplacement de la structure, l’addition de voies de circulation ordinaires ou de virage, etc.

LE PROCESSUS Chaque étude suit le processus approuvé pour les projets du groupe « B » en vertu de l’Évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les installations provinciales de transport (2000) et le public sera consulté pendant toute la durée du projet.

Des communiqués paraîtront dans les journaux pour indiquer la date, l’heure et le lieu de chaque SIP. Dès la fin de chaque étude, un rapport d’étude environnementale pour les transports (REET) sera rédigé pour elle et offert en consultation publique durant une période de 30 jours. Des avis dans les journaux expliqueront le processus d’examen et indiqueront les emplacements où l’on pourra consulter le REET.

First day of school was a special occasion Mary Cook Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Lifestyle - We thought nothing of the three and a half mile trek to the Northcote School. There were others who walked much further. And if, for any reason, we had to make a stop at Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store, that meant at least another mile, as we had to walk the Rink Road to get there, bypassing Plauntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road which was our usual way of getting to and from school. When we got to the end of our long lane, and onto the Northcote

Side Road, we would meet up with the Thomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, our next-farm-over neighbours. And Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. My three brothers wanted no part of we younger ones, and they would tear ahead of us, leaving us behind, as if we had the plague! It was a dirt road all the way, and by the time we got to school, even our socks were covered with dust, and our shoes looked like they had been through a war! I was in boys brown brogue laced shoes that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and I secretly prayed that the hateful shoes would fall apart one day, and I could wear my Sunday-goto-church shoes, which were just

marginally better than the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brogues. This time of year, my three brothers, who every year Mother swore had grown a foot over the summer, had new running shoes to wear that first day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops, and had thick black soles. If Mother didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t order them from Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, they were bought in Renfrew where Mother bargained for the best price, paying the princely sum of .98 cents a pair. And the stores in Renfrew werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did at the General Store in Northcote. The boys were well warned to be careful with the running shoes, be-

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Highway 401/Kingston Road 38 (G.W.P. 4049-11-00) and Highway 401/Highway 15 (G.W.P. 4059-11-00) Interchange Operational Improvements Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment Studies THE STUDIES The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained MMM Group Limited to undertake separate Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment studies to identify potential operational improvements to the Highway 401 interchanges at Kingston Road 38 (G.W.P. 4049-11-00) and Highway 15 (G.W.P. 4059-11-00) in the City of Kingston. The studies will identify both short term and long term improvements, which could include relocation of ramps, relocation of the commuter lots, widening or replacement of the structures, addition of through lanes and/or turning lanes, etc.

THE PROCESS Each study is being carried out in accordance with the approved planning process for Group â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; projects under the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the projects. Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held for each study to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed works, alternatives considered, potential impacts and proposed mitigation measures. Newspaper notices will be published to advertise the date, time and location of each PIC. Upon study completion, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared for each study and filed for a 30-day public review period. Newspaper notices will also be published at that time to explain the review process and identify locations where the TESRs can be reviewed. COMMENTS The Ministry is interested in any information, comments or questions that you have regarding these studies. Should you wish to be added to the project mailing lists and/or provide input at this time, please contact: Mr. Michael Chiu, P.Eng.

cause they would be the only ones they would be getting. Even if they fell apart, Mother warned! â&#x20AC;&#x153;No scuffing along the side road,â&#x20AC;? she would bellow, as we all headed out the lane that first day back to school. If some misfortune happened to the running shoes, the brothers would have to resort to wearing their gum-rubbers, which made their feet sweat. If enough boys were in their gum-rubbers all at the same time at school, the whole place smelled to high heaven, causing Miss Crosby to fling the windows wide even on the coldest Fall days! And so it was, that first day back to the Northcote School, the three brothers in their new running shoes which they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to put on their feet until that morning, me in my boys brogues that had been shined with bacon fat, and our lunches in clean brown paper bags, we headed off. At the end of the lane, Velma waited for me. The Thoms boys and my three brothers raced off down the dirt road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers, and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store. And always we girls carried a freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well. If Kleenex had been invented back then, we certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about it! Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wearing something new for that first day back to school. Not store-bought of course. Something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-medown box, or from a well-bleached pair of flour bags. Mother favoured making blouses. Simple blouses, with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rick-rack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar. Very clever, was my Mother, I thought back then. Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church picnics, ball games, and family gettogethers, on that first day back to school, it was as if we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laid eyes on them for years!

12 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, September 5, 2013

There would be the Briscoe twins, in identical dresses. My little friend Joyce, always with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker Stores in Renfrew, and of course, bad Marguirite would have had a new permanent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls, and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, and little white socks with lace around the tops. And there would be our same teacher...Miss Crosby...in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before. And she would still smell of lilac talcum powder, and her black laced shoes would be so shiny, you could see your face in them. That first day of school we were allowed to go home mid-afternoon. Instead of calling a recess, Miss Crosby would announce that school was over for that day. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d head back out to the road that went by the school, and that day we would take the long way home. Down the Rink Road and over to Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store. Because that day, and that day only, we would all have been given a nickel. Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and mine tied in the corner of our hankies, and the brothers rattling around in their overall pockets with the usual collection of sling-shots, pieces of string, a couple of nails, and their dime-store jack-knives. It would be like a small invasion, as en mass we crowded into the store and headed right for the candy counter. The boys of the Northcote School would forgo the little brown paper bag, and instead cram their nickelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of candy deep into their overall pockets. Usually, they bought licorice pipes. We girls picked candies like discs, stuck to strips of white paper, with little words printed on them. And often Velma and I would buy one box of nickel cracker-jacks, and a nickelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of peppermints and share them on the way home. Once again, every day, the Northcote Road would lead us to and from the school. There would be no rides because of bad weather. It was a trek we were well used to. In good weather, and bad, like a washboard ribbon, parched dry when there was no rain, covered in ruts when there was, and icy and snow-covered when Winter came, the Northcote Road was as familiar to us as the backs of our hands.

Places to explore and things to experience

Thousand Islands beauty from above Lifestyle - Heidi and Konrad Linckh, originally from Germany, spent their honeymoon in Ontario. They fell in love with the region. Konrad Linckh worked as the CEO for a US subsidiary of a German company. Heidi’s background includes a business degree in tourism, and she’s worked in several countries. They decided it was time for a change. Konrad had thoughts of living the American dream, but discovered that in this day and age, visa issues make that difficult. “We looked at our options,” said Heidi. “Australia and New Zealand weren’t options because of the distance to Germany. We decided to try Canada. We spent our honeymoon in 2006 in Ontario. We knew that if we ever lived in Canada, we wanted to live near water. We passed through Kingston on our way to Montreal and knew this was where we wanted to live.” They applied for permanent residence in Canada. They wanted to purchase a business and start their new life on Canadian land. They discovered that Skydeck, the popular tourist attraction with its stunning views of the Thousand Islands region, was for sale. “It was ideal,” said Heidi. “We wanted a seasonal business so we could take the winter off. We’d been to Skydeck. When friends and family from Germany visit, they always go to

Skydeck.” The former owner of Skydeck, Leonard Stratford, was in his eighties, had retired, and wanted to sell. He had offers from around the world, including potential buyers from China and the U.S. He accepted an offer from the Linckh’s. They intend to maintain the tower as a tourist attraction. With the Linckh’s dream comes a new name. They will be changing the name from Skydeck to the Thousand Islands Tower. “There isn’t even a translation into German for Skydeck,” said Heidi. “When you’re driving along Highway 401 and you see a sign for Skydeck, tourists don’t know what a skydeck is. So we decided on the Thousand Islands Tower.” Now in their first season, they’re finding that visitors come from many countries. The couple’s multilingual abilities are proving an asset. In addition to English and German, Heidi speaks French and some Portuguese. “When we took over, we were told with our ability to speak German, we would be fine. We had no idea so many Germans visited. We have lots of visitors from Quebec and can speak to them in French.” They are expanding services available at the Tower. Not just a spectacular tourist site, they are also opening the Tower for events like business meetings and weddings. There have

been many wedding proposals at the site. Now it’s available for actual weddings. “It’s a beautiful spot for a ceremony,” said Heidi. In the future, they’d also like to open a lounge and coffee shop. We live adjacent to the longest undefended border in the world. We are also close to another international oddity. A small stretch of road, close to the 1000 Islands Tower, is the shortest international bridge in the world. It’s so short that to see it, you have to look closely, even from overhead.. There’s a stream-like flow of water in a channel between Canada Customs and U.S. Customs. The bit of road over it is the bridge. Visitors sometimes don’t even realize they are crossing the real border at the little bridge between the Canada and U.S. Customs buildings. People often think we enter the U.S. by crossing one of the two large bridges. The 90-foot rigid frame bridge, which crosses the true border, is dwarfed by the main U.S. span of 4,500 feet and Canadian span of 3,330 feet. You’ll see this and much more from high in the sky. The Thousand Islands Tower was built for the sole purpose of providing panoramic views of the natural beauty of the region. Excavation began in October 1964.

Construction used 164 tons of steel and 1,398 cubic yards of concrete, and involved 22,000 labour hours. Then known as Skydeck, it officially opened on June 17, 1965. It stands at 425 feet above the St. Lawrence River (350 feet above ground). On a clear day, visibility is about 65 kilometres. The Thousand Islands Skydeck set new standards when it opened. In 1965 it maintained the smallest width to height ratio of any building in the world. The constant flow of visitors is handled adequately by the elevator, which only stops at the top and bottom of the tower. To get to the Thousand Islands Tower, you don’t need a passport or proof of residence because you never leave Canada. It is on the Canadian side of the border. Be forewarned—don’t go without a camera. You’ll likely regret getting up to the top and missing the spectacular opportunities for unique scenic photos. You will get a closeup aerial view of the Canadian bridge. The U.S. bridge is a bit further away, but still clearly visible. Don’t wait for autumn colours to visit Skydeck. The view is amazing regardless of the season. The elevator takes 35 to 40 seconds to take you up to the lower observation deck. There are three observation areas.

The top deck is the warmest, great for a cool day. It receives constant exposure to the sun. The shaded middle deck, also outdoors, is cooler. The lower deck is enclosed by windows. This is great for protection from the elements in inclement weather. There is a gift shop featuring Canadian souvenirs in the base of the building. For a lunch break, weather permitting, I’d recommend a picnic. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing and there are numerous picnic areas near the Tower and along the Thousand Islands Parkway.

WAFFLES group enjoys a winning streak after Awesome Kingston grant By: Mandy Marciniak Reporter

EMC News – Science, math, engineering and technology may not sound like the most exciting activities, but when they are combined with the building of robots they become much more appealing. That is exactly what FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) hopes to achieve with their various robotics groups. One of these groups is WAFFLES (Wild About Family and Friends Learning Engineering and Science) Community Robotics, a group that was founded by KCVI Grade 12 student Kayley Bibic. This group received an Awesome Kingston grant back in March of this year, which helped them achieve more than they ever could have hoped for in their first year of competition. “At our regional event out team came home with three awards,” said Bibic, “Our team was the highest ranked team among all the rookies and we also ended up making it into the top eight. We also won a rookie all star award, which honours the most well-rounded rookie team, and because of that award we got to travel to the world championships in St. Louis Missouri. We weren’t really expecting that, it was what we aimed for but it was still surprising. We didn’t get very far in Missouri but it was a really great experience and it was amazing to see.” All of this success would not have

been possible without the funding the group received from various community sponsors and Awesome Kingston, but now the team needs to focus on another year and another robot for the competition next year. “We are really looking for members to join” explained Christine Bibic, Kayley’s mom and also an active member in the WAFFLES groups. “We are hoping for about 24 members this year. This is the second year for us running this team and we are unique because we are not affiliated with a high school. The team is made up of teens who just want to join and compete. It offers students in Kingston a great opportunity and they learn such great skills in the process.” There are also two younger tiers of robotics teams that run through FIRST: the Junior FIRST Lego League for kids ages six to nine, and a FIRST Lego League for kids ages nine to 14. These teams help to teach the skills that are necessary to progress to the higher tiers. “You can see a progression in skills from the younger groups to the older groups. They really learn about teamwork, programming and strategy and problem solving,” said Christine. “It is really hard work, but the skills they learn are invaluable and it is still really fun.” There is also a lot of overlap among the teams, with the older groups helping and mentoring the younger mem-

and how that impact affects them. I really look up to my mentors and I hope some of the younger students think of me in that way too.”

Brew Pub gets involved in military fundraiser Correspondent

“We’re working very much at the clinical end of the spectrum. Our whole premise is that a whole lot of fabulous research is being done out there,” explains Dr. Aiken about CIMVHR’s goals. The money from the shirts will go towards a variety of cutting-edge research. Aiken gives an example of linking the research communities of blast injuries and sports concussions, as both are examples of traumatic brain injuries. Much of the research is also devoted to mental health and family resources. “The majority of the research is most certainly focused on mental R0012288779

EMC News - This summer, the Kingston Brewing Company has been partnering with the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) to raise money for veterans’ health. The Institute was founded in 2010 by joint partners Queen’s University and RMC, says Dr. Alice Aiken. CIMVHR also has 26 other university partners across Canada, making the institute a trans-national effort. Aiken spent 14 years in the Canadian military before becoming a professor at

Queen’s. She is one of the founding members of CIMVHR. “It marries my worlds really well,” she says. Now, the CIMVHR has started a campaign with the KBC to sell t-shirts to raise money. “There isn’t a day goes by that we don’t have someone here in uniform,” says long-time KBC employee Honey-Lee Pratt, so the partnership was a natural choice. As of last week, the pub has reached nearly half of their $20,000 goal. The t-shirts, which feature a dragon in military garb on a red background, sell for $25.

health,” says Aiken. “Sometimes the latent effects can be a bit harder. It’s also what’s gotten the most press. The other areas that are tending to come up are transition to civilian life. It’s more social health and well-being.” In addition to these areas, the Institute also includes para-military organizations such as police and fire departments in its research. “Let’s bring some really unique things to the best and the brightest,” says Aiken. The shirts will continue to be on sale at the Kingston Brewing Company until they sell out. Honey-Lee Pratt hopes that they can sell their goal of 1,000 shirts by the end of September.

“We might do it again next year,” says Pratt, in the event that the venture proves successful. The funds raised by the t-shirt campaign will be supplemented by funding from Queen’s and some philanthropic donations, says Aiken, but part of the effort is to make the CIMVHR a household name in the community. “We’re getting more and morewell known for sure,” Aiken is glad to say. Shirts can be purchased at the Kingston Brew Pub, 34 Clarence Street, for $25. To learn more about the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research, please visit www.cimvhr.ca.

Community Harvest Market celebrates five years By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC News - The Community Harvest Market celebrated its fifth anniversary Aug. 28 with a special market day that included live entertainment; a youth talent show; children’s activities; and, of course, plenty of the fresh, locally-grown vegetables that have made the market a destination in the Rideau Heights neighbourhood. Looking around at the hundreds of children and adults who came out to the grounds of the Wally Elmer Neighbourhood Centre help celebrate, market coordinator Kathy Sturmey noted that she was very happy with the turn-out. “This is may be a little bit beyond our wildest dreams,” she said. “It’s an amazing thing because when we started here five years ago, no one was coming. At this point we are growing our own vegetables, we sell them at the market, and the money we make goes back into the gardens. We’re kind of doing a full circle thing…That is a huge accomplishment, I think, for the group and for the community.” The Community Harvest Market is a project of Community Harvest Kingston (CHK), with support from local partners like Loving Spoonful, Sydenham Street United Church, the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul and Kingston Community Health Centres. CHK’s mandate is to improve food security and access to

healthy food for individuals and families living in Kingston’s north end. “This community quite often cannot afford to bring healthy food to their tables,” says Community Harvest Kingston member Marijana Matovic. “By the time you pay rent, utilities, transportation - all the things that you must do - healthy food is kind of on the back burner.” In an attempt to assist low-income families with this dilemma, CHK runs workshops at which they teach community members how to garden from seedlings, and then how to use the vegetables they grow in the kitchen. The Community Harvest Market is another important part of the picture. Traditional vendors only come to market once a month for special events; otherwise, only produce grown in CHK’s local urban gardens is sold at a reduced cost. “We get invariably responses [from people] that this makes their day, and definitely that they are eating better food and more produce,” Matovic says. “And the most beautiful things we have are the kids’ activities.” Matovic explains that CHK runs a “pizza garden” for kids at the Wally, and hosts other workshops for children in order to teach them about growing food and healthy eating. “By now it is the kids who come and buy veggies and take them home to parents because they want to eat them,” she says. “They wait for us when we are setting up [on market days] and are generally really helpful.”

613.546.3607 Meet Your Market Vendor: Patchwork Gardens By Kelly Reid Correspondent

EMC Business - Patchwork Gardens in Battersea has long been a fixture at the Kingston Public Market. “This is our tenth season,” Patchwork employee Megan Joslin says proudly. The farm is a joint venture be-

tween Julie and Eric Williams, as well as Megan Joslin and Ian Stutt and their respective children. Since the farm became operational in 2004, they have maintained a market presence. “We do organic veggies and herbs,” adds “Patchworker” Marie Bencze. “I guess with an emphasis on greens.” Some of the farm’s best sell-

ers include spicy mustard greens, kale, and lettuce. They also specialize in carrots, heirloom tomatoes, and beets. All of their produce is certified organic by Ecocert Canada. This means that Patchwork Gardens uses no genetic modifications, no synthetic fertilizers, and no pesticides. The produce is grown in a type of soil known as Battersea silt-loam, which the Patchworkers say is especially fertile. In addition to selling their products in Market Square, Patchwork Gardens is also a favourite supplier of many fine Kingston restaurants. “Chez Piggy and Dianne’s Fish Bar are our two biggest right now,” says Joslin, though the farm also supplies Chien Noir, Atomica, Pan Chancho, Olivea, and others. On non-market days, Kingstonians can find Patchwork produce at Tara Natural Foods and Old Farm Fine Foods. Like several other market vendors, Patchwork Gardens also runs a Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, program. “We have about sixty CSA clients in the summer,” says Joslin. “We’d like to get 100 for the winter CSA.” Patchwork’s CSA program includes organic vegetables, recipes and cooking suggestions, as

well as notices about farm tours work Gardens by visiting www. and monthly CSA videos.

Locals and tourists alike wowed by another successful Limestone City Blues Festival By Mark Bergin

EMC News - The Limestone City Blues Festival chalked up another huge success with this year’s event, which wrapped up four days of music on Aug. 25. A couple of thousand people jammed into Market Square to get their fix of the music that migrated up the Mississippi more than a century ago. The city has developed a crossborder reputation as a place where blues aficianados can hear their beloved genre without distractions. The Kingston festival maintains a schedule featuring four days of nothing but blues and its many sub-genres. It’s a formula that works. “This year’s crowd was as big or bigger than ever,” said Jan MacDonald, Projects Manager Marketing for Downtown Kingston! Business Improvement Area (BIA). The idea started 18 years ago, she explained. “People were saying Kingston should have some kind of music festival,” she said. “The staff mulled the idea. They were blues fans and thought it would go over well in Kingston. People were asking for that kind of thing. We’ve developed a good reputation.” Shirley and Rod Shreiber from Binghamton, New York have been coming to Kingston for a decade. They say they plan their summer holidays around the festival. “We take our vacations so we can come here,” said Shirley. “You’ve got a great town. It’s a lively small city. Lots of restaurants and night life. This is our tenth year. We try

to eat at locations where the blues bands are performing. For us to get music at this level at home, we’d have to travel to a big city with all its driving and parking problems. We come here and relax from the time we get here mid-week until we leave on Sunday.” They said they were skeptical when they first heard of Kingston’s Blues Fest. “’What’s this little Canadian city going to be able to pull off?’ we thought,” said Rod. “But we thought it would be nice to check it out and spend time in the Thousand Islands. Well, the folks here sure sent us for a loop. We had no idea we’d find a world-class event. The organizers do everything right. And $10 for a wrist band. We’d pay that for an hour or two of parking in Philly. Now we’ve got several friends who come here every year too.” MacDonald explained that the DBIA’s economic impact study found that the geographic split for Blues Fest attendees is about 60/40 visitor to local. Sol Stein, visiting from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania said he comes with friends every year because it’s one of the few festivals that’s kept to an exclusively blues format. “If I wanted to see some pop singer who sells lots of records, regardless of talent, those venues are a dime a dozen,” he said. “But this. This is pure. And not just one kind of blues. Tonight I’m hearing R & B (Soul Survivors), Delta (The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer) and really funky stuff

(Ana Popovic). I hadn’t heard of the first two acts, but I’d travel to see them again. As for the European lady on guitar (Popovic), she plays circles around most male guitar players. And she sounds like old Memphis players. She was a highlight. Great stuff. We’ll be back next year.” Many people come to see wellknown artists but enjoy the surprises. Monika Slack, from Kingston, said that happened to her on Saturday night. “Every once in awhile you hear a band that just wows you,” she said. “The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer were just one of the opening acts at the main stage at The Limestone City Blues Festival and they did that for me tonight. A duo with so much sound that if you closed your eyes you would think you’re listening to a four-piece band. I don’t think it will be long before they become a household name within the blues community.” Another local at the hometown event was Karen Stos. In addition to the music, she was pleased with the setting. “I felt so proud to be there in that square,” she said. “What a venue: the stage, the classic buildings surrounding us, the City Hall dome. I was so proud to be part of Kingston.” Like Slack, Stos was impressed with the opening acts. “First time I had ever experienced Soul Survivors: what a superior cover band. The Harpoonist

and the Axe Murderer got a standing ovation. The duo even felt the ambience of the evening and played their hearts out. And they noted they were so impressed with the elegant surroundings. The aroma of coffee from [Coffeeco] added to the blues bliss.” Headliner Ana Popovic faced a crowd with high expectations and didn’t let anyone down. “Ana Popovic clinched the evening,” said Stos. “With her cool, classy band and, of course, her effortless command of her guitar, she’s a world class act. (Those were) three fantastic shows for ten dollars.” As for next year, MacDonald said she’s already looked at a few acts for the popular blues festival. “Some of these band set their tour schedules six, nine or 12 months out,” she said. “We have to be planning in earnest by December or January. Any later than that, and we might not be able to get the acts we want.” On Saturday night, the headline feature and crowning jewel of the festival, MacDonald started to breathe easy. “Saturday’s always a thrill,” she said. “That moment when you realize every act has made it there. They’re on time and ready to go. When that first act takes the stage, there’s a sigh of relief. And when the audience starts dancing, we love seeing that. Everyone’s having a good time. It’s not the kind of event where we try to keep people away from the stage. We want people having a good time.”

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Capricorn, devoting time to a spouse or children is of the utmost importance this week, while other matters will have to wait. Enjoy this opportunity to spend time with your loved ones. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later.

Enchanté

Mark Bergin

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Teacher finds something special in every child EMC Lifestyle - June Spooner carries on a tradition in her family. Her father and grandmother were teachers. Her mom taught piano lessons. June is a Special Education Resource Teacher (SERT) at John XXIII Catholic School in Collins Bay. She prefers to think of herself as a resource who is part of a team that includes children, their parents, other teachers and staff. “All kids are special,” she said. “I don’t want the kids I’m working with to feel that they are different in any way.” She emphasized that each child in school learns in his or her own way. Some of those children need her resources to reach their potential. June grew up wanting to be a teacher. “Whenever anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I was grown up, I

always said teacher.” She said that it felt natural for her. “I thought it would be fun,” she said. “I love to read and I thought it would be great to teach reading. I like kids and it’s fun to work with them. I wanted to do something in life that would be significant to others and make a difference in the community I live in.” She was born in Thunder Bay and moved to PIcton when she was young. She started school at St. Gregory’s in Prince Edward County. By Grade 2, the family had moved to Napanee. I asked her how she decided to go into the field of special education. “I didn’t,” she said. “It decided on me.” She explained that she was teaching Grade 1 at John XXIII Catholic School and loved her work. “Kids are like sponges in Grade 1,” she said. “It’s a great age.” But one year the student population numbers were low. She wasn’t high in the seniority list. She gave up Grade 1 Sept. – December and fortunately had the qualificaBeginner to Advanced tions to become Register for a dance or for the fall! the school’s speFor more information: Call 613-372-2313 cial education teacher.

room and bring everything home. My dad had built me a big puppet theatre, but I had to move everything out of my class.” Two or three months later, numbers were up and the Grade 1 class was offered to her. “I’d just taken everything down in my class,” she said. “I decided to stay where I was.” That was the year 2000. She’s still the special education teacher. Still loves it. “It’s really taken me on a different path,” she said. “You get so involved with the job and you learn so much as you go. The experience is very valuable. I like what I’m do$ ing. I’ve made the job what it is.

fers to go to their classrooms, noting that they tend to need her support with math rather than reading and writing. “If they’re doing class work, it’s better for them to be in class,” she said. “I hear the teacher’s lesson and know how they’ve taught something. There may be five children in the class who could use my support. I’m a resource to the students and the teacher. I can help any child in the class. I’m there helping all the kids and no one feels stigmatized.” With the younger children, it’s a different story. “They don’t feel stigmatized, they haven’t figured it out yet,” June said. She laughed and remarked that sometimes the younger children who aren’t receiving her help ask when they can come read to her. “I might finally bring them down to read a book to me,” she said. Does she have all the answers? “No, but I have to be able to find the information for what will help. I have my list of resources, people to contact. If it’s not me who can help, I know who to refer to.” There’s a kind gentleness about June Spooner. She’s the perfect kind of person to be working with children. She emphasizes acceptance. “Everybody learns differently,” she said. “Part of my role is to bring different methods of teaching to students. Different things work for different students and it’s important to find ways for every student. I’m a resource for parents and other staff and they are a resource for me. We all work in partnership as a team to support the students.” I asked her about the stress of the job and how she handles it. “I work hard, I play hard, and I’ve said a few prayers,” she said. “I work out at the gym heavily, and I come home and vent.” She emphasized that the joys far outweigh any stress. “I see children develop,” she said. “I know some kids with a certain level of intellect aren’t expected to go far. If I didn’t have them involved in Empower Reading they still wouldn’t be reading. It brings tears to my eyes when I see them succeed. They should be proud of themselves. They’re the ones working hard. I’m always very proud.” R0012290296

called Empower Reading. “It’s been around about 30 years,” she said. “It’s research-based, created by doctors and scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children. It’s been tracked and we know it works. It’s also Canadian.” June went to Peterborough to see the program in action in inner city and suburban schools. “I was really excited about what I saw,” she said. “I wrote a proposal to the board but the money wasn’t there. It’s quite expensive to be trained and get the materials.” Her principal at the time supported her and found the money so that she could get the training. “I went to Ottawa and trained with all the Ottawa-Carleton teachers. They trained every SERT teacher in their board.” She came back to her own school with valuable resources. “I couldn’t teach that in a classroom,” she said. “Sometimes I’m teaching kids who have focusing difficulties. We look at things like phonemic awareness. I have this great tool that works. While the process is difficult, the end result is worth it.” She said that one of the things she loves about her role is its diversity. “I work in all kinds of situations,” she said. “I’m always looking at how I can help and support a student. I’m teaching, but I’m running an office too. I can be the middle person. I’m a conduit. I may be involved with an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist, a speech/language pathologist, a youth worker, an outside agency or folks at the Board office. We’re all there as a team to support the student.” Her planning for the upcoming school year started long before August or September. “In June, I know where a student has left off,” she said. “I’ve also been to see the kindergarten teachers to see who is coming up that they’re concerned about. I ask for copies of assessments they’ve done. Before I leave the building in June I know who I’ll be working with and what activities I’m going to be doing with them.” Younger children like to work with her in her room. “We can be as loud as we want,” said June. “I have all my teaching materials at hand.” With older children in the junior and intermediate grades, she said she pre-

Pat Great laughs and heartfelt friendship Trew completes final film of Cornetto trilogy

By mARK HAsKins

Arts – It began with Shaun of the Dead, it continued in Hot Fuzz and now the Cornetto ice cream films are a trilogy with The World’s End. The best night of Gary King’s (Simon Pegg) life was the night he and his four best friends graduated school. Their goal was to complete The Golden Mile an epic pub crawl through twelve pubs starting at The First Post and ending at The World’s End. While they didn’t finish it that night has stood in Gary’s mind asBy perfect. JoHn tUcKER That was 20 odd years ago, and Gary’s friends have moved on to have careers and lives of their own. Sadly however Gary has not. Gary is pathetically stuck in the past, and he desperately wants to recapture the magic of that night. He wants to go back with his old friends and finish what they started. For reasons only old friends would understand Andy Knightley (Nick Frost), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine), Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman), and Peter Page (Eddie Marsan) allow Gary to talk them into this crazed reunion. They begin the night with the bitter sweetness of old friend, and the tension of unresolved issues. Fortunately for Gary he doesn’t have to deal with it because they get attacked by alien robots. Most of the town’s residents have been replaced with robot look-a-likes and Gary, Andy, Steven, Oliver and Peter have to figure out what’s happening. They must fight for their lives, their town and even the Earth, but most importantly to Gary they must fight to complete The Golden Mile.

mund Pike, who plays Oliver’s sister Sam, are fantastic. They had the perfect mix of sensitivity, emotion, camaraderie and comic timing. They also had bar brawling skills that bordered on the obscene. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are the greatest comic duo of the last ten

they do. The World’s End may complete the Cornetto trilogy, but I hope it doesn’t mean an end to their films. Genius is sometimes a hard term to

describe or define. I think The World’s End does a pretty good job of it. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

My Take

The World’s End begins as this funny yet sad comedy about old friends. Then it moves into this outrageous action-comedy with some of the best bar fights I’ve ever seen, and Edgar Wright does it so naturally you never think to question it. Your laughing so hard you just get swept away. It’s exciting, it’s touching, and above all else it’s hysterically funny, but it’s this thread of genuine and heartfelt friendship that
