City considers higher parking rates, extended payment hours By Bill Hutchins

News – Would you rather pay a higher rate for downtown hourly parking, or pay for parking over extended hours each day? Those are some of the options facing motorists as the City of Kingston undertakes a comprehensive review of its on and off-street parking rates and fines. Motorists and other residents are being asked to comment on three scenarios as the city looks to boost parking revenues. The outcome will help councillors determine which scenario is likely to be approved. The review is based on studies that show the city’s parking reserve fund – which is solely replenished through parking rates and fines and is not subsidized by taxpayers – will go into a deficit in five years without increases. The deficit is expected to increase to $35 million by 2030 without higher parking rates. The reserve fund pays for all municipal parking operations, maintenance and any new structures. NHL star Taylor Hall made a special visit to the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area on Aug. 30. The Under the first scenario the city is hockey player visited with campers at the club, but he also presented a $12,000 cheque to the organization. considering; hourly parking rates will Photo Mandy Marcinak increase by 50-cents across the board Continued on page 4

in 2019 but daily hours of payment will remain the same, while special event parking will go up by $1 starting in 2017. This scenario will grow the parking reserve fund balance to $4.8 million by 2030. In the second scenario; hourly rates will increase by 25-cents but the payment period is extended by three hours a day, both starting in 2019, while event parking is replaced with extended hours of paid parking at meters and parking lots. This would generate $5.9 million for the reserve fund by 2030. Under the final scenario, hourly rates will increase by 25-cents in 2019 but the payment period is extended by three hours a day starting sooner, in 2017, except in the Frontenac, Barrack and Anglin municipal lots. This will create a reserve fund of $6 million. All three scenarios include continuing monthly parking permit increases tied to inflation, increasing on and offstreet rates in the Queen’s/KGH/courthouse area in the fall 2017, increasing parking meter-related fines in 2018, and future rate increases every five years to maintain the long term health of the reserve fund, according to the city.

City plans housing/park space on former midtown school property By Bill Hutchins

News – City officials have unveiled plans to convert the former St. Joseph/ St. Mary Catholic School into a mix of parkland and public-private housing. “The plan has been developed recognizing the need for additional parkland and affordable housing in that area of the City,” said a report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. Councillors purchased the mothballed elementary school from the Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School Board at 671 Brock Street for $2.25 million last June. The price also includes demolition costs. Once the 1949 school is demolished, the city intends to carve the 1.5 acre site at Brock and Napier Streets into three parcels; one for park space, one for affordable housing, and one for private housing development. “The new park is proposed to occupy the corner of the property while the housing blocks would occupy the periphery of the property, ensuring an appropriate transition to neighbouring residential uses,” Hurdle explained. Councillors will be asked to ap-

prove the redevelopment plans at their Sept. 6 meeting. Officials propose to sell one parcel to Kingston & Frontenac Housing Corporation to construct about 30 affordable housing and rent-geared-toincome units. The city would use $1.5 million in provincial funding to help with the construction, plus another $1 million in municipal funding to subsidize 10 rent-geared-to-income units. There’s a tight timeline to begin the affordable housing construction by next year in order to qualify for provincial grants. City officials will submit necessary planning applications for the construction. This will also provide area residents with an opportunity to comment on the addition of public housing in their neighbourhood. Another parcel along Brock Street would be sold at full market value to the private sector for future housing. It would be up to the potential developer to submit its own housing designs for approval. Hurdle says selling nearly one-half of the old school lands for private housing is the best way to help finance

development of the affordable housing hectares of parkland per 1,000 people, and parkland components. “The mar- compared with the city-wide average ket housing block is being introduced of 4.5 hectares. to make the overall development more The Sunnyside neighbourhood financially viable and maintaining where the school land is located also a lower cost for both the affordable has one of the city’s lowest ratios of housing and the parkland blocks.” affordable housing units. Only 1.1 perIt is anticipated the private land sale cent of Sunnyside’s housing stock is could accommodate a low to medium comprised of affordable housing, comdensity development, staff added. The third land parcel will be developed as a municipal park following public consultation and design work, expected to begin in 2017. But neighbours will have to wait until the housing is built before the parkland is opened. “This phasing is required due to the site servicing requirements and construction staging needs for the housing project, which would have a temporary impact on the parkland block due to configuration and adjacency,” said Hurdle’s report to council. The staff report also lays out the rationale for seeking both housing and park space on the same school space in Williamsville district. It currently has the lowest parklandto-resident acreage than any other part of Kingston. The district has 2.1 School redevelopment

pared with 37.5 percent in the Rideau Heights neighbourhood, according to city statistics. The aging St. Joseph/St. Mary elementary school, across the street from Churchill Park, was decommissioned last year and the handful of remaining Kindergarten to Grade 5 students were transferred to other schools.

Local ball hockey tournament raises $12,000 for Boys and Girls Club Continued from page 1

The funds were raised through the third annual ball hockey tournament in support of the Boys and Girls Club, which was held in the Metro parking lot at Princess and Barrie Streets on Saturday, July 23. Hall hosted the tournament this year and he was happy with the turnout. “It was so great to see all the kids with the players and just how much fun they were having,” he said. “It was a special day.” The Boys and Girls Club is a cause that is close to Hall and he was happy to visit and bring news of the funds that were raised to the kids. “I used the Boys and Girls Club as a kid so it is important for me to give back,” he said. The annual event raises money by charging

teams $500 each to play alongside well know hockey players from the NHL, OHL, women’s national team and college and university leagues. Local kids get to meet their favourite stars and get pictures and autographs between games. This year, Taylor Hall was joined by Connor McDavid, Darnell Nurse, Luke Gazdic, Natalie Spooner, Genevieve Lacasse, John Tripp, Roland Mckeown, Lawson Crouse, Ryan Verbeek and many others. Funds raised this year doubled what was raised last year and Hall hopes that trend will continue in the years to come. “Our goal was $10,000,” he said. “So we were pretty happy.” The funds raised will go towards a variety of programs at both the Kingston and Gananoque Boys and Girls Clubs.

Capitol Condo’s ‘community benefits’ called into question By Bill Hutchins

News – The revised 15 storey Capitol condominium continues to divide the community even though city planners have endorsed the hirise based, partly, on a set of community benefits negotiated with the developer. The stated benefits include restoring the former Capitol movie theatre�s original façade at 223 Princess Street, providing about a dozen affordable housing units within the 212 unit building, installing bicycle racks and electric vehicle charging stations as part of a public parking component, and providing a community arts/culture amenity space in the hi-rise. Several residents and business owners have weighed in on the pros and cons of allowing IN8 Developments Inc. to build a condo at the old Capitol movie theatre site. Christine Sypnowich says the community benefits negotiated between the city and the developer are “too meagre” to justify a taller building. She says most issues such as affordable housing, parking and

heritage preservation are already city policy and provide no additional benefits to the community. “I hope that the City follows its own rules in this project and does not permit a building that exceeds its height requirements or trades this requirement away for benefits that are already required, or part of the original proposal, or ridiculously meagre,” she wrote. John Grenville says while he does not object to the idea of seeking community benefits in exchange for a ‘density bonus,’ he says neighbours need more consultation to fully understand the trade-offs and how it will compensate them for the higher building. “I expect that very few people who read the media release understand the implications.” Vicki Schmolka, a former councillor and planning committee member, suggested the trade-offs will come at a price to taxpayers. “The idea is for the developer to pay for the privilege of going beyond the rules, not for the city to pick up the tab. Strangely, three of the four options for community

benefits the city is suggesting involve “partnering with the city”. This implies that taxpayers would be footing some of the costs. This is clearly inappropriate.” The arts community is generally supportive of the plan to include a cultural space component in the condo. “We are always looking for more and better physical spaces where arts and cultural activities can take place,” wrote Barbara Bell, artistic director of Kingston WritersFest. Tricia Baldwin, director of the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, says the cultural amenities are exciting but cautioned the city not to duplicate programs and space that already exist in other venues. “Speaking directly and bluntly as a member of the Kingston performing arts community who runs a venue, over-saturation from a market demand perspective is a legitimate concern given existing programming at the Grand Theatre, Isabel Bader Centre, Tett Centre and other facilities.” Questions about building the hirise close to the Queen Street side

of the old movie theatre property were also raised. “In this discussion of the benefits of this new development, consideration of the future of Queen Street has not been aired. Queen Street should be more than just a service street for Princess Street,” wrote Elizabeth Durno. However, the community benefits and condo height also garnered several letters of support. “I am thrilled by the proposal of IN8 and believe that the building will enliven the downtown economy and bring new residents to the city core,” said businessman Paul Fortier. Doug Ritchie, managing director of the downtown business association, says the hi-rise is important to the downtown, and he hopes the city-sought after community benefits won’t put the development at risk. “Downtown is at the crossroads and approval of this development is critical to our economic viability.” IN8 has presented three revisions to its project during the past year and a half, each time lowering the

proposed height. What started as a 20 storey condo was later reduced to 17 floors and, now, 15 floors with community benefits. Mayor Bryan Paterson says the city has the right to ask the developer for amenities in exchange for a building that’s about double the Official Plan’s allowable height for the area. “So we can negotiate and put that into the package but it doesn’t preclude council from saying ‘no it’s not enough, we still won’t support it,’” he added. The local group Vision for Kingston remains skeptical of the trade-offs, insisting the city’s Official Plan is “not for sale.”

EDITORIAL

There are trolls amongst us…

Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

Column – “Here’s a really great article, just… don’t read the comments section.” This very sentiment is said, texted and written every day, regardless of the wording. So many of us have come to a point where we’d rather avoid reading what people have to say about an issue or a news piece, simply because we don’t want to read all of the absurd and/or offensive things some people seem to feel the need to post. It’s an odd and somewhat sad dichotomy: the very idea of ‘comment section’ or being able to ‘reply’ to someone’s online post is to allow people to voice their opinions, and yet time and time again, these areas of the internet seem to turn into ineloquent mud-slinging, useless name-calling, or somehow devolve into what some see as a call

for speculation. Over the last few weeks, I’ve read comments on news articles, Facebook posts and Twitter feeds that were nothing short of terrible, including everything from hate speech and bigotry in comments on shared news stories to presumptuous comments about what may have caused untimely deaths. There’s never a call for voicing such things, but in the cases I’ve seen more recently, it seems to me that too many people feel the need make outrageous statements that will cause hurt to others. Sure, I could take my own advice and just avoid reading ‘comments,’ but there’s a bigger problem here; while I will fight to no end to support free speech, what I take issue with is not the ‘right’ people have to say what they do, but rather the intention behind what they say. At no point does calling someone an antiSemitic slur constitute fair comment, nor does it even fall under the right to free speech. Labelling an entire race is racism, plain and simple, and it certainly is not constructive, nor ‘an

Kanata Kourier-Standard

opinion’ – it’s ignorant. And calling into question what may or may not have occurred without knowing all of the facts or allowing the time needed for those facts to be known is really just useless. What’s even more upsetting is that, often, online comments are made anonymously, which some people seem to think gives them the opportunity to say things they know will offend others. And that’s what really offends me: the ill intent. Yes, there are trolls amongst us, Kingston, and some of them come from a place of hate or malice. But there are even more of us that aim to foster healthy debate, share advice or ideas, or express our views on contentious issues. No matter where you fall in that spectrum, I implore each and every one of us to pause before we comment and ask ourselves: ‘What is my intent in saying this?’ If you question your own motives, just don’t say anything. That pause and reflection could save a lot of others from unnecessary grief and pain.

In Our Opinion

Distracted driving road deaths now double impaired related deaths Editorial – Last week, the Ontario Provincial Police released some startling, but not unsurprising, data about distracted driving related deaths. According to the OPP, for the first time since Ontario distracted driving laws were introduced in 2009, the OPP is reporting that driver inattentionrelated road deaths are poised to double the number of impaired-related deaths this year. As of mid-August, the OPP has investigated 38 road deaths in which an inattentive driver was involved, compared to 19 deaths involving an impaired driver. While both of these driving behaviours are equally threatening to the safety of road users, this latest data has the OPP calling for a heightened awareness of the prevalence of distracted drivers and the risks they pose on our roads. The OPP is also calling on Ontarians to develop a similar level of public intolerance of these dangerous drivers that exists of impaired drivers. With new campaigns being launch constantly to show the effects of distracted driving and the dangers, we have to wonder why isn’t the message getting across? To get the message across, the OPP is taking a different approach and asking passengers to speak up more when they are in a car with an inattentive driver. “Don’t be a passenger of a distracted driver. Recognize that they are endangering your life. Speak up and insist that they focus on the road and on safe driving. By not doing so, you are contributing to the problem. Since 2009, our officers have investigated more than 600 road deaths that involved an inattentive driver. Consider how many of those innocent lives could have been saved had someone else in the vehicle intervened,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support in a release. Overall, the key message of every anti-texting or distracted driving campaign is that whatever you think you have to say on your device can wait. Your life is more important than that text message and the lives of others are more important too.

Letters to the editor

Will MP Gerretsen blow the candle out on the LaSalle Causeway? tre span is referred to as a trunnion bascule lift bridge. The 100 year old design was engineered by Joseph Strauss, the designer of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Historical signiﬁcance aside, why hasn’t the Federal government simply replaced it, as someday sooner than later, it will have to be replaced anyway? The need for the 3rd crossing would be negated if the city, the Federal and provincial governments would have agreed to a sequence of cost saving measures, namely moving the Wolfe Island Ferry terminal as has been proposed; building the ﬁrst 2 lanes of a 4 lane bridge spanning

Dear Editor, As a long time Kingston resident interested in maintaining our Canada Post in the best and most useful way, I have thoughts about what we can do. After years of cuts in service and increased costs, I think the post office can turn around- and deliver more than mail. It can adopt the Delivering Community Power proposal, which calls for postal banking, services for seniors, and across the country charging stations for electric cars. Canada Post is our largest retail and logistics network--and all of us citizens own it. Our postal service is profitable, and has been so for most of the last two decades. Big private banks here took in $35 billion in profits last year, all while cutting jobs and raising service fees. Many Canadian communities have post offices but no bank branches. A postal bank

from Highway 2 over the Cataraqui to the Queens Street dock; when this is completed remove the LaSalle Causeway and replace it with a new structure with an additional 2 lanes. The 4 lanes of traffic would be integrated with the existing transportation plan having traffic flow into the downtown core via Queen Street and alternatively to the north-west along the Wellington Street extension out to John Counter Boulevard. Much shorter for a crossing and better cost sharing. While the LaSalle Causeway approaches a century of use, the Federal

government has seen ﬁt to replace the more junior Champlain Bridge in Montreal. It has justiﬁed replacing the 54-year-old structure at a cost of $5 Billion rather than continue maintenance repairs. Why shouldn’t Kingstonians expect the same consideration? Presently the three levels of government are negotiating the cost sharing arrangement of a 3rd crossing. These arrangements typically leave

is affordable, local and an investment in the community. Dozens of countries including New Zealand, France and Italy have proﬁtable successful postal banking. Why not us too?

The LaSalle Causeway which has created such dismay in Kingston in recent years is turning 100 years old. Yes, that’s right. It is that old. In 1917, the original Penny Toll Bridge was replaced by the causeway which included three bridges: two bridges at each end of the causeway, and the centre lift bridge. Of these, only the original centre lift bridge remains; the steel bridges at the east and west ends of the causeway were replaced with concrete bridges in 1962 and 1993 respectively. Today, the remaining century old lift structure requires continual maintenance. The causeway’s cen-

Staff added: “The application submission confirms that 25% of the proposed residential units will cost below $264,000, and will therefore be considered affordable.” In addition to supporting the height and density, staff recommend the property be deemed a brownfield site to qualify for possible municipal tax breaks and other clean up incentives. However, the development application could still be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by either the builder or residents.

parking. City planners say the project has been revised enough to satisfy their concerns. “The 15 floors plus a centralized mechanical area is a relatively close approximation of the ‘low teens’ recommended through the peer review report,” according to planning director Paige Agnew. Additional building setbacks at critical locations and changes to the type of exterior brick and window materials will help reduce the visual impact of the 15 storey building. It won’t have a significant impact on water/sewer capacity, noise, traffic and shadowing, staff added. City planners say they have also negotiated a series of community benefits from the over-sized project with an “uplift” value of $322,000. This includes plans to restore the original

months requesting additional modifications to the overall development and proposed built form of the project, which were reflected in the applicant’s final submission of July 27, 2016,” according to a staff report. The revised condo plan includes 212 residential units – 64 one bedroom, 120 two bedroom and 28 three bedroom units – plus approximately 750 square metres of commercial floor area along Princess Street, and 106 onsite and 40 off-site parking spaces. The condo’s main entrance will be located off Princess Street while parking and loading will be from the Queen Street side. The condo height includes a three-storey parking podium for building occupants, but the city has revealed plans to partner with the developer to construct a multi-level garage across the street in the Byron municipal parking lot for additional private and public

News – City planners say they can support the revised 15 storey Capitol Condominium project in downtown Kingston. Now, it’s up to councillors to decide whether they agree with the staff recommendation to allow a building that’s double the height of what the Official Plan allows. The planning committee met Sept. 1 to get its first look at the scaled down hi-rise project atop the former EmpireCapitol 7 movie theatre at 223 Princess Street. The staff recommendation to support the zoning bylaw amendment will then go to council for a final decision, possibly later this month. The residential hi-rise has been the focus of city hall and public scrutiny ever since it was first unveiled over a year ago by Waterloo-based IN8 De-

velopments Inc., which purchased the unusually-shaped theatre property for $2.2 million. IN8 initially wanted a 21 floor building, or 61.4 metres tall, fronting the Queen Street side of the old theatre site. However, it was deemed to be too tall around the nearby lower scale commercial and residential buildings based on public feedback and a cityordered peer review urging “a solution that balances the City’s intensification and heritage conservation objectives.” In response, the developer scaled back the project to 17 floors in May of this year. After further discussions, IN8 decided to lower the height to 15 storeys (plus rooftop mechanical equipment), or 52.4 metres, in what it has called a final compromise. “City staff have worked closely with the applicant over the past several

On Saturday, Nov. 5, Sands will fight right here in his hometown for the first time ever at the Falcon Fight Series Amateur MMA fights, to be held at the K-Rock Centre. His opponent is still unknown as the line up for the night’s events is still being laid out. “It’s still kind of early days for the card to get filled out,” said Chris Wellstood, Sands’ head coach and the lead Brazilian jiu jitsu coach for Hayabusa Academy.

Sports – Tylor Sands’ six years of commitment and diligence in training as a mixed martial arts (MMA) took the cage by storm in Ottawa on Friday, Aug. 19. Sands battled through five rounds against Eric Kayolo at the Heroes Combat League Amateur MMA event in the nation’s capital. Sands defeated Kayolo by unanimous decision, awarding him the welter weight (170lb) title belt over his opponent, who was previously ranked 11th in his weight class in Canada. For Sands, the win confirmed his prediction to bring home the belt, something he credits his coaching team at Hayabusa Academy and Sitbpeegohn Muay Thai for. “I was 100 per cent confident,” AGAWA the 26-year-old Kingstonian said CANYON last week of his belief he’d leave the OCT 1-5 cage victorious in Ottawa. “My coaches had me well preCFL: Argos VS Tiger Cats ..

“I’m going to guess Tylor will probably fight for another title belt at this event.” But if Sands, now ranked 6-1, has any trepidation about the upcoming fight, his nerves certainly aren’t showing. “I’m looking forward to it,” Sands said, a coy grin spreading across his face when asked what fans can expect from the November 5 fight. “They can expect an explosive performance from me.”

When he was just a child, his brother gave him a set of bongos and some drumsticks for Christmas and according to Dean, the rest is history. “He figured I must have had rhythm or something,” he explained. “I proceeded to ruin the bongos with the drumsticks and that really sparked my interest in music and in drumming.” But drumming wasn’t exactly what Dean’s parents had in mind when they went to enrol their son in music lessons soon after. “My dad was considering putting me in a bagpipe band and I wasn’t too excited about that,” he recalled. “Instead they enrolled me in the local Drum Corps group, the Centennials, and I loved it.” Now, nearly 50 years later, Dean is still very happy with his choice to pursue drumming instead of bagpiping and on Sept. 2, Dean was honoured with an induction into the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame. “It’s really great,” said Dean prior to his induction. “We had American influence in the corps and because of that, a fellow from Rochester saw what we had done here and unbeknownst to me, he had submitted my name into the World

Drum Corps Hall of Fame.” Dean’s name went into a pool with a bunch of other nominess and this year he was selected by the other members of the Hall of Fame, something only a handful

nization and great for me and telling me how deserving I am and I get it, but it is such a team sport and none of it would be possible without so many people,” he said of the induction. “And those people tell me that none of it would be possible without me and I have a hard time recognizing that. It is starting to sink in a bit more now though.” Dean played with the Centennials in Kingston for a number of years before the group became the Grenadiers Drum Corps. He continued to play with the Grenadiers for many more years before becoming the director of the corps. Dean was also instrumental in helping the Grenadiers compete at a world level. “We started competing in 1995. My goal was to get top 10 and in 1998 we finally cracked the top 10 in DCA open class,” he said. “You are Don Dean is his early Drum Corps competing in the States and that was days. tough, but with a lot of hard work of Canadians have been able to do. we placed 12th in “At first people were coming to me our first year and and saying how great it was for the orga- we just kept going

hard work, it required a lot of hard work and dedication and commitment. It is a big team sport and my mandate now is to support it, continue to go forward and promote it where I can and just speak to people about it.” Dean hopes that the drum corps tradition will continue in Kingston for many years to come and he hopes that parents and kids can see the value the sport has. “It teaches a lot of good social skills like showing up on time, commitment, teamwork, and there are so many benefits,” he said. “It is a very beneficial thing for people to do in the community.”

form there.” The organization continued to grow under Dean’s direction and in 2004, the Grenadiers won the World Championship in Class A, becoming the first drum corps in Canada to take the championship from the United States. “That was a feather in my cap,” he said. “We continued to 2010, but we have not competed since then.” Now, Dean has retired from the corps in Kingston, but he still helps as a consultant for the group. “It was always a labour of love and it still is,” he said. “It was always a lot of

Kingston in the role of Roxie Hart in Blue Canoe’s production of Chicago wowed audiences at the sold out shows at the Baby Grand Theatre. The part of Roxie challenged Scovil, who is nothing like the manipulative bombshell you saw on stage. Soft spoken, demure even, Scovil Madeleine (Maddy) Schaeffer Sco- lit up the stage during the summer production of Chicago. vil rocks the stage. “Roxie was a very different part Her most recent appearance in from what I’m used to playing,” she said. “Roxie was just so much fun. She’s sort of this villain protagonist. I also got to do the dancing, and I really enjoyed that. The hardest part of Chicago was developing this very different character. It was difﬁcult to learn the Chicago accent, and the dancing was challenging.” She explained Maddy Schaefer Scovil as Roxie Hart in Chicago. that in past roles, she was able to Mark Bergin photo

draw on what she knows. “For Roxie, it involved getting to really know the character and finding her voice.” Roxie’s a tough and unusual role. The actor has to make the audience both love and dislike her. Schaefer Scovil pulled it off. With playfulness, she drew the audience in. We attached ourselves to the character. Then she’d do things in such a blatantly unlikable manner, that we were able to dislike her with equal intensity. Even on Broadway, in the show that’s been running for years with differing leads, some characters can own the role, while others never quite capture the essence of Roxie. Schaefer’s acting career goes back to Grade 5 when she performed in her first show, Evangeline, at Kars Public School in eastern Ontario. The next year, she performed in her first community theatre production in a role that she still looks back on fondly: Tinker Bell in Peter Pan. “It was wonderful,” she said. “It’s such a well known part, and afterwards I would go outside, and I was just a little girl myself, but smaller girls came up and asked for my autograph.” Continued on page 17

Actor/director thrives on challenging roles Continued from page 16

She continued her theatrical interest throughout her high school years at St. Mary’s High School in Brockville. Last year, she performed as Bertrande, the female lead in The House of Martin Guerre, produced by the Queen’s University School of Drama and Music. If local audiences hadn’t noticed her by then, they certainly took note of Bertrande. With both a strong voice and stage presence, Schaefer Scovil melted perfectly into the role. She just graduated with her degree in drama as a major and French medial in the Concurrent Education program at Queen’s. Next year, she’ll be completing the ACE (Artist in Community Education) program. “After that, I want to remain involved in performance,” she said. She’s been looking into children’s theatre opportunities. “I’ve been involved in the Barefoot Players for the past few years, and I’d like to combine what I’ve learned in teaching and theatre. I’m not quite sure how I’ll do that yet. I’ll be figuring that out this year.” Over the coming year, she’s hoping to direct a production for Blue Canoe. They’re just waiting to hear about the rights to a Broadway production. If it is available, Schaefer Scovil will be directing the show. Schaefer Scovil is not new to the director’s role. She directed Title of Show for the Juvenis Festival this past spring. She’s

sity, she auditioned for Blue Canoe and landed roles in The Producers, Mamma Mia in 24 Hours, Nine and Pippin. She just finished directing Shrek in 24 Hours. She said that theatre is a great communication tool. “It makes people feel comfortable with communicating, and it’s a cathartic resource,” she said. “There’s no better way of getting ideas out there. Coming from an educational perspective, you see the difference in kids when they go on stage and see what it can do for them. Everyone can interpret the message that’s there. It’s not an idea shoved down your throat.” When we chatted, she’d recently returned from New York City where she took in shows like Waittress and Fun Home. “I’m increasingly interested in creatives uses of space, like in Fun Home.” Her advice for upcoming actors is to do as much as possible in theatre. “Do and see everything with a professional mindset.

Work and get your lines down, but listening when you are in the creative space is awesome. Learn all you can. Your dedication is not just for other people but also for yourself. That’s the fastest way to find out if it’s something you are passionate about.” She also said actors should not be picky and should take whatever part is offered to them. “You learn different things from any part you play.” She advises young actors to learn dramaturgy as well as production roles. “I have gained a huge appreciation for anyone doing lighting and stage managing. That’s a huge part of what makes a successful show.” Keep your eyes on this actor/director. There’s an intense creative spark inside her.

Promote democracy through literacy Those who say that our cultured has been “dumbed down” are correct.

I have written about literacy many times. Recently, I became aware of practical proof of how important literacy is and how illiterate the Western World has become. In an article called America the Illiterate, the author, Chris Hedges, refers the reader to research that examined

past presidential debates in the USA. There is no reason to believe that the situation in Canada is much different. Analyzing transcripts of past debates, The Princeton Review revealed some startling facts. Based on standard vocabulary tests, it was found that “During the 2000 debates, George W. Bush spoke at a sixth-grade level

(6.7) and Al Gore at a seventh-grade level (7.6). Results form 1992 (Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Ross Perot) weren’t much different. But if you jump back to the John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon debates of the 1960s, the candidates used tenthgrade language. Going back to the 19th century, you’ll ﬁnd that in “the debates of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A.

Douglas the scores were respectively 11.2 and 12.0.” It is frightening that these levels have dropped to almost 50% or what they were in the 19th century. Hedges also notes that 20% of high school graduates cannot read well, and nearly a third of the population is functionally illiterate. Continued on page 19

Promote democracy through literacy Continued from page 18

Equally disturbing is Hedgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; revelation that a third of high school graduates and 42 percent of college graduates never read a book after they ďŹ nish school. According to Hedges, Eighty percent of families in the United States last year did not buy a book. This is devastating news when it comes to politics, where elections are won on sound bites and images. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Political campaigns, which have learned to speak in the comforting epistemology of images, eschew real ideas and policy for cheap slogans and reassuring personal narrativesâ&#x20AC;Ś.Political campaigns have become an experience. They do not require cognitive or self-critical skills. They are designed to ignite pseudo-religious feelings of euphoria, empowerment and collective salvation.â&#x20AC;? We see that in the current Trumpism of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make America Great Again.â&#x20AC;? Do you think Canada is immune from such idiot-level slogans? Sorry,

the boy prince won hearts with the slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada is back.â&#x20AC;? The phrase is simultaneously patronizing and condescending. What does it even mean? That a saviour is upon us? That we were not Canadians until the anointed one walked on water? Meanwhile, Trudeau will ruthlessly sell the country out by ratifying the TPP (Trans-PaciďŹ c Partnership). What will the slogan be then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada is goneâ&#x20AC;?? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about political discourse; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about slogans for a brand. I agree with Hedges that we are hostages to brands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brands come with images and slogans. Images and slogans are all that [voters] understand.â&#x20AC;? Democracy demands debate. Democracy demands a discussion of scientiďŹ c truths. Such debate is certainly not present in the current era of the Trump/ Clinton debacle. The general population in all of North America is so swayed by myth, narrative and brand, that we seem immune to rational discussions of facts. Has truth become irrelevant? If it has, how do we make it relevant again?

For a start, promote literacy initiatives. Fight the dumbing down of our culture. Promote libraries. Is there hope anywhere? There is. At a writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conference in New York City last month, it was revealed that independent book stores in North America are making a surge. That was totally unpredicted and unexpected. There is hope. There are enough people left who want to read and learn. The fact that hard copies of books are on an upswing is also encouraging. Research has consistently shown that we retain and learn more from hard copy books than from ebooks. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also encouraging news in your local library, where teen book circulation has been increasing over the past decade. One of the greatest gifts you can give to a child (or an adult) is a book. I meet many people who tell me they are aspiring writers. I ask them

Fighting the good fight – for Pip and against diabetes By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

News – They say a mother’s strength is unlike any other, and almost otherworldly, with cases of petite women lifting vehicles to save their children or moms jumping into white water rapids to recover their child without hesitation. Over the past few years, Kingston’s Tara McCallan has publicly embodied such strength, sharing the story of her life and family as they were repeatedly met with more and more bad news with regard to her daughter Pip’s health condition. Pip was diagnosed with Down syndrome just days after she was born, and then faced a litany of tests and surgeries for her congenital cataracts and heart defects; additionally Pip was later diagnosed with hypothyroidism and, just after McCallan gave birth to her third child, Theo, Pip was diagnosed with celiac disease. But then, on August 17, McCallan was hit with more bad news, and it hit her harder than ever before. “I just put my head down, almost in defeat,” McCallan said of the moment she was told Pip’s diagnosis of Type 1

diabetes. “Honestly, it almost felt like a bad joke… like, as if one person could possibly have one more thing to battle.” The mother of three started her blog, Happy Soul Project, as an outlet to discuss her feelings and the struggles as Pip received diagnosis after diagnosis. Those who followed the blog came together as a community for information sharing, awareness raising and, more than anything else, support for one another. McCallan found solace in the blog and community, which she lovingly refers to as ‘her therapy,’ but beyond that, she started a movement that’s reaches stretch across the globe: #DifferentIsBeautiful. As her followers grew in numbers, so, too, did support for the #DifferentIsBeautiful campaign and the community, which has come to be known as #PipsArmy. Happy Soul Project then opened a store where clothing stamped with the inspirational themes that resonate throughout the blog can be purchased and, perhaps most famously, an annual calendar featuring and celebrating children’s differences. Faced with the Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and feeling a vulnerability and fear she’d not expected (the McCallans noticed Pip had excessive thirst, but they

figured it was due to her hypothyroidism, and would only require some dosage changes in her medication), McCallan felt defeated for nearly two weeks. “I just felt really gutted about it, and, with this diagnosis in particular, it’s like all the ‘bad’ things about me are coming out: I suck at math, I suck at restrictions, and I’m petrified of needles,” she said, her emotion evident in her voice. “And #PipsArmy just kind of rose up, and, with that, they lifted me up. They sent in messages and shared our story… there was so much good and positive energy and I needed to feel and use that.” The influx of supportive notes, advice from other parents of diabetic children, and the general love that circulates within the community gave McCallan a boost in energy – and an idea. With that, McCallan put out a “Call to Action” for #PipsArmy, and released a new T-shirt inscribed with ‘Fight the Good Fight.’ The goal is to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes, as well as funds to help alleviate some of the financial burden that accompanies the disease. Continued on page 21

Downsizing? Relocating?

Tara McCallan and daughter, Pip, 3, are the force and inspiration behind Happy Soul Project, McCallan’s blog and an online community celebrating differences in children and supporting one another through dealing with children with illnesses.

Fighting the good fight – for Pip and against diabetes Continued from page 20

“It’s crazy! The amount of test strips and needles you go through… she gets seven needles a day, that’s seven different needle tips, and it’s not cheap,” said McCallan, noting that, insurance covers some but not all of the costs for monitoring and treating diabetes. “We definitely don’t need a GoFundMe page, or anything like that, but I just thought, you know, people are proud to be a part of #PipsArmy… all of these people who are asking to help, why not get them to put on the armour and show that they’re part of the army!”

Additionally, McCallan has decided to make a change to the format for the upcoming 2017 Happy Soul Project calendar. With son, Noal, 5, headed into senior kindergarten, and Pip, 3, starting junior kindergarten on a modified schedule to allow McCallan to administer all of the tests and insulin shots she needs – not to mention her 10-month-old, Theo – McCallan felt she needed to focus more on her family than putting in the hours it takes to put together the calendar featuring 12 uniquely different children. She’s also received numerous requests for advice on how to address schoolaged children about Down syndrome, something McCallan does often. Thus,

she’s decided to make the 2017 calendar one that features 12 interesting and engaging facts about Down syndrome: Each month will feature a photo of Pip and a short dose of information regarding Down syndrome, and the months can be torn out, leaving the user with teaching tool book that they can read through with children. “It’s short, it’s simple, it’s sweet, it’s exactly what a kindergarten class needs,” McCallan said. “It’s my way of bringing awareness, and it’s also my way of celebrating and calling out #PipsArmy and keeping the Happy Soul Project calendar going.”

Beautiful by Nature

Take a natural, holistic approach to skin care to enhance your well-being naturally through extraordinary products and extraordinary service.

As for Pip, adapting to her new diagnosis and treatment plan has been just like any other ‘negative’ that’s been thrown her way, McCallan said. “She’s Pip! She’s a trooper! She now picks what finger she wants poked, and she even goes up to her brothers and makes them kiss her hands all the time!” said McCallan, noting that while she finds she draws an immense amount of energy and strength from the Happy Soul Project community, it’s Pip that remains her main source of strength and determination. “My husband said to me one time, right

after we had her and I was really devastated about the diagnosis that he’d rather have a harder life with me than an easier life with anyone else,” McCallan expressed. “For some reason that just really stuck and I think of that every day with Pip. I would rather do all of this – go to all of these appointments, measure out her food and count her carbs – than not have her. It’s definitely worth it.” To find out more about the Fight the Good Fight campaign, the upcoming calendar, #PipsArmy and the blog, visit www. happysoulproject.com

Ice Wolves FUNdamentals program changes to foster growth and engagement in young female hockey players By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

Sports – The world of women’s hockey is ever changing and evolving, and the programs aimed at female hockey players here in Kingston is no exception. Following an education session on Hockey Canada’s FUNdamentals Initiation Program (IP), members of the Greater Kingston Girls Hockey Association (GKGHA) saw a need to revamp the program here for Kingston’s Ice Wolves. With Michael Hermer, director of hockey development for GKGHA, at the helm, the Ice Wolves FUNdamentals program was redesigned over the summer in an attempt to offer those girls just starting out in hockey a fun and engaging program that is rooted in high-quality training and instruction. “We’re bringing a renewed program to the Kingston area for Kingston’s young female athletes. The FUNdamentals program is a child’s initial experience with hockey, so our goal here was to make it a good one and a positive one,” said Hermer.“At the same time, having had some experience with development in hockey, we wanted

to ensure that the quality of instruction and the quality of the program was improved and better than it ever has been.” To be the best, you have to have the best, which is precisely why GKGHA decided to bring three female instructors on board whose experience and expertise not only include playing high-level hockey, but also coaching and instructing it. Brooke Beazer, an assistant coach for Queen’s University’s women’s hockey and former professional player at Queen’s and in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL); Elizabeth Kench, OWHA Elite Official, and former Gaels player and Provincial Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) coach; and Morgan McHaffie, an assistant coach for Queen’s women’s hockey team, former Gaels and Universiade player representing Canada will be joining the teams this year. “It’s so important to ensure we’re teaching girls the right way, and giving them the right start in hockey,” said Hermer, noting that he’s thrilled to have all three women acting as instructors for the new group of IP level girls, who can range in age from 5 to 8.

Logan Brown’s latest EP to offer a new sound from one of Kingston’s favourite musicians By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

Events – All it takes is one look at his schedule of upcoming shows to see that Logan Brown more or less lives and breathes his passion for music – in the next two months alone, Brown has 30 shows scheduled in venues right across the Toronto-to-Ottawa corridor. Here in his hometown, Brown’s fan base fill bars, clubs and cafes to take in his eclectic range of musical influences that manifest in his outstanding selftaught guitar skills and silken vocals. “It’s all fun for me,” said Brown, admitting he’s been accused of playing anywhere and everywhere that will host live music, but adding that he wouldn’t do so if he didn’t love to. “Music is not hard, it’s hard work.” Brown, who previously performed under the moniker ‘NUBS,’ has a few gigs in that list of 30 that will be particularly special, he explained. Over a series of three nights, Brown will be releasing his new EP, ‘Conversations with Myself,’ on which Brown delves into an entirely new musical style. “It’s totally a folk album… I figured I needed to go with something in a complete opposite direction to the last two records,” said Brown, who resigned his use of the pseudonym ‘NUBS’ after discovering it had already been taken by an inspirational speaker, Talli Osborne. “I guess with a name change came the freedom of going in a different direction. I’ve been doing the funk thing for so long, and I love funk, it’s still something so part of the way that I play the guitar, but it got to be difficult without having a consistent band.” ‘Conversations with Myself’ offers a more raw and stripped-back vibe than Brown’s fans are used to, with the entire album recorded live off-thefloor. Much of the lyrical content focuses on existential themes, the cycle of life, and “the realization that noth-

ing is here forever,” Brown explained, but without being too heavy or too ‘sitting-around-a-campfire’ sounding. But while it may be a different sound for Brown, it’s a sound his fans have been pleased with thus far. “The reaction has been really positive,” Brown said. “A lot of people are saying it’s some of the best stuff that

I’ve put out, which was very reassuring.” Those who want to take in the CD release events will need to move fast, as the first of three shows entirely sold out and the second show is close to the same. The three shows will take place on Monday, Sept. 12, Thursday, Sept. 15 and Saturday, Sept. 22 at Musiikki

Café, and all three shows are set to be entirely different, Brown explained. “I want to be able to offer something to all of the people who come out that is different… unique to the show they see,” said Brown, noting that he plans to record the second show in preparation for a live album. “I’m really excited to get the album

out there to see how people respond, I’m glad to be doing the shows here [at Musiikki] and I know the three shows will be a great experience for me – and, of course, for the audience, too, I hope!” For more details on the upcoming shows, visit www.loganbrownmusic. org

MEMORIAL CENTRE FAIRGROUNDS

A Great Lakes island adventure: by bridge or ferry

By Margaret Knott

What ‘s there to do when they get here, is a question that comes to mind, as visitors make their way to Wolfe Island on the ferry. A question many of us may ponder now and again Perhaps that’s because we have forgotten what drew us here that ﬁrst time. So it was wonderful to be reminded of what, not only of Wolfe Island, but the many Great Lakes that surround us have to offer visitors. This happened at an evening of book signing with Maureen Dunphy, author of “Great Lakes Island Escapes: Ferries and Bridges to Adventure.” The thrust of her book is the ability to reach all of the islands listed, by way of a ferry or a bridge. The book covers islands on both sides of the international border, between the United States and Canada, and features islands in both the lakes and the waterways that connect them. As Maureen spoke, it became quite clear to the audience gathered at WI’s United Church Hall, that her love of

islands had begun early in life. That although she resides in Detroit Michigan, and her career involves writing, coaching writers and teaching writing courses, she is an islander in her own right with a family cottage on Pelee Island since 1994, (an island in the western half of Lake Erie connected to the Canadian and United States mainland by ferry), and that she wanted to introduce those accessible islands to others. “ In 2011 I took a few trial island trips–one in a month of trips visiting the 15 islands closest to my mainland home. After those 15 island trips, another two years passed before I had the money saved, and could take the time off to officially begin my island project,” Dunphy said. “Between Memorial Day weekend of 2013, and Labour Day 2014, I made a total of 27 trips to 136 Great Lakes Basin islands. These were all of the islands I could find, in the Basin and including the connecting rivers/straits, as well as the five Great Lakes, with public access by ferry or

bridge,” she said. “On each of these island trips, I was accompanied by a woman friend or relative, who provided another perspective of the island experience. What amazing island adventures we had.” As Maureen spoke of those visits, including her visit to Wolfe Island, her love of the islands , their history and environment , she brought alive her sense of island magic to those present. (Her book looks at over 30 of the Great Lakes Basin islands accessible by bridge or ferry and touches on more than 50 additional islands. Her presentation included maps and pictures.) Maureen followed up by taking the audience on a journey of islands in Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake |Michigan and Lake superior. “Anyone can experience the islands if you live in the Great Lakes region, in one of the 8 Great Lake States, or in Ontario. You are not

far from a ferry or bridge to have your own adventure. Those further away can plan a trip.” Shirley Bailey, President Frontenac Heritage Foundation, presented Ms. Dunphy with a gift. Hank Connell president of the WI Historical Society thanked Maureen for her presentation. People stayed on to purchase a signed book, and talk to the author, quite willing to ‘wait for the next ferry’ . The book is available for purchase in Kingston at Chapters.

“I think it is probably the biggest highlight of our changes.” The FUNdamentals program, which kicks off in October, will also see ice time doubled for Kingston’s newest female hockey players and will include two one-hour ice times a week, and an instructor to participant ratio of five to one, ensuring all young players receive the proper foundation in hockey.

The all-female on-ice instruction staff is a refreshing and inspiring change, but it is also indicative of a bigger shift happening throughout women’s hockey in general, explained Kench. “The more I’m involved with hockey and the more I’m in rinks, I notice that there are full coaching staffs of women, full female staffs of referees… you’re just seeing more and more women involved in it,” she said, adding that the bolstered female presence in the sport is unlike anything she saw growing up. “That was not something that I had when I was younger. The one or two times that someone female stepped on the ice, no matter who they were, we couldn’t believe it.” Kench emphasized the importance for the young female players to have that strong female presence on the ice. “You can relate a little bit more to them as females, I think that’s why we wanted to be a part of this,” she said. “I think we’re going to see that more and more and I think it starts here.” For more details or to register for the upcoming Ice Wolves FUNdamentals program, visit www.gkgha.ca.

The hot sun was beating down on my sister Audrey and me. We were on our backs in the long grass watching the soft white clouds form and reform in the mostly blue sky above. It was a favourite pastime for me. Not so much for Audrey, who went along with it because she knew how much I liked to pretend the clouds were little dogs, someone with long ﬂowing white hair, or any number of things I could muster up in my young imagination. But that day was different. Audrey talked to me just as if I was her best friend Iva. Rarely did my older sister ever include me in serious chat. After all she was years older than I was. But that afternoon, it was like she had to get off her mind what she was thinking about. “I wish I could see the future,” she said softly. I knew there was more to come. “I would like to know what I will be doing when I am ﬁnished at the Northcote School.” I looked over at her face. Her eyes were closed. She wasn’t looking at the clouds above us. “I really want to be a nurse. Or a teacher.” I knew

she would make a wonderful teacher. Didn’t she spend hours with me showing me how to knit, embroider, print in my scribbler, and go over my spelling? And as far as being a nurse was concerned, I didn’t know one living soul in all of Renfrew County who had a kinder heart. She would make a wonderful nurse. And I could picture her in her uniform, with a nurse’s cap on her brown hair, and a pin on her collar to show the world she had graduated. Audrey let out the longest sigh. I wanted to get into the conversation, and so I reminded her of what our mother always said: “You can do anything you want to do, if you want to do it badly enough.” I thought that would make Audrey feel better. Because she certainly didn’t seem too happy to me. But what I said, didn’t seem to make her feel any better. And I told her I thought she should be a teacher, and come back to the Northcote School when Miss Crosby was too old to teach anymore. “That will never happen,” she said in a voice I could hardly hear. “Well, what about being a nurse? Now, it’s the last thing I would want to be. I hate blood! But, Audrey, you would make a wonderful nurse.” She opened her eyes and looked at the soft white clouds moving in the sky, and I was pretty sure I could see that she was trying awfully hard not to

Unusual failure leads reader to seek advice from Car Counselor

“Hi Brian, I wonder if you might be familiar with the regulations involved for importing used vehicles from the US. In particular, I am interested in the purchase and import of motorhomes because there are not only more available, but there is also a price advantage. Naturally I keep hearing contradictory opinions about the practicality of this idea, and yet I know that RV dealers often stock their lots with these imports. I appreciate that warranty can be a problem, but I am looking for used units where that has expired, and some minor modiﬁcations may be required to satisfy Canadian standards.

Tips for first-time home buyers Buying a home for the first time is an exciting period in a person’s life. Deciding to buy a home often indicates buyers are ready to establish firm roots in a community where they can see themselves living for years to come. The process of buying a home is rarely easy, and first-time buyers may feel overwhelmed at times. Such feelings are perfectly normal and felt by first-time buyers regardless of their budgets or home preferences. But there are a few ways to make buying a home more enjoyable than it is nerve-wracking. • Examine your finances. The first step toward buying a home has nothing to do with deciding if you prefer a craftsman- or Tudorstyle home. Before you even begin your search for a home, carefully examine your finances to determine how much is coming in and how much is going out of your household each month. Figure out how much debt you are currently carrying, be it student loan, automotive, consumer or any other types of debt. Order a credit report so you can see how prospective lenders are likely to see you, and address any errors you find on the report before meeting with any lenders. Peruse past bank statements to track your spending habits, looking for areas where you might be able to scale back if need be. • Be prepared when visiting lenders. Prospective borrowers

can make the home-buying process go smoothly by having all of the necessary documentation ready when visiting potential lenders. Many mortgage lenders will want to see some recent pay stubs (from both borrowers if buying with a spouse or partner), a couple years’ worth of W-2s and tax returns, as well as your recent bank statements. You can always call ahead and ask lenders what they need to see when applying for a loan. Having these materials ready in advance means you will spend less time at the bank and more time finding the right home for you. • Secure financing before you begin house hunting. Many firsttime home buyers might not realize the benefits of securing financing before they begin looking for a home. Mortgage preapproval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, preapproval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer. • Work with a local real estate agent. Real estate agents are an invaluable resource to home buyers and are especially valuable to those buyers who have never before purchased a home. Agents can help first-time buyers navigate the often confusing and, at times, disappointing process of buying a home. Choose an

agent who is established in the area where you want to buy a home. He or she can provide information about local property taxes and schools as well as a multitude of additional issues

that first-time buyers may not think of. Agents also know the lay of the land regarding home prices, which can ease first-time buyers’ fears about overpaying for their first homes.

A home is the biggest purchase many people will ever make. Firsttime buyers may be intimidated as they begin searching for their homes, but there are several ways to make the process go smoothly.
