City opts for more expensive construction contract to start ‘Big Dig 3’ this winter By Bill Hutchins

News – The city is sticking with a familiar company to complete the third phase of downtown Kingston’s Big Dig, even though the contract carries a much higher price tag. Council voted 12-1 to award the $12.9 million contract to Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd., the same firm that completed the previous two phases of lower Princess Street’s reconstruction in 2009 and 2012. Staff recommended Corcoran’s bid even though it is $1 million higher than a rival bid from Taggart Construction, prompting talk of possible legal action against the city. The Oct. 6 vote capped a marathon debate that left many councillors feeling uneasy about spending the extra $1 million. However, many also agreed that price shouldn’t be the only factor when undertaking a project of this scale. “If I’m hiring a contractor I want the one that has the plan in place, even if that means extra cash,” said Coun. Richard Allen. City staff say Corcoran’s higher bid was superior in detail to Taggart’s proThe St. Lawrence College alumni team hosted the Queen’s University engineering team for their annual posal and addressed many of the finer prom dress rugby game at the SLC Kingston North Field on Sunday, Oct. 4.

completion timelines, pedestrian safety and public relations, continued access to businesses and risk management plans. Dan Corcoran, whose company won the bid, says the project is incredibly complex but his firm’s experience on previous Big Digs made the difference. “What’s really difficult to understand is the cost to provide that level of service to the downtown; from a pedestrian standpoint, from a safety standpoint. Unless you’ve worked there you can’t comprehend it.” Doug Ritchie, managing director of Downtown Kingston, appeared before council to endorse Corcoran’s bid. He says the company’s previous track record is an important factor because any construction delays or pedestrian inconvenience could lead to business closures and layoffs. “$1 million is a lot of taxpayers’ money. That’s for sure. In this case I think it’s a bargain investment in preserving the downtown.” The next Big Dig is also the biggest. It involves replacing the century-old underground infrastructure and repaving the surface of Princess Street, between Bagot to Clergy Streets, plus reconstructing the sidewalks. The

City opts for more expensive construction contract to start ‘Big Dig 3’ this winter Continued from page 1

Princess street during and after the “Big Dig” in 2010 front-to-storefront work is expected to start in January and be substantially completed by July 1, 2016. Work on the cross streets - Montreal Street (Brock to Queen), Sydenham Street (Princess to Queen) and Clergy Street (Princess to Queen) -will continue until the end of 2016. The city’s contract awarding process was called into question by the losing bidder. Doug Haight, Taggart’s general manager, claims the Big Dig project should’ve been gone out to standard public tender, not issued through a request for proposals (RFP). The tendering process is based on a fully-defined project where the lowest price is usually selected, while a RFP gives construction firms more flexibility to outline how they would complete a project and is subject to a different contractor

scoring system. “We feel we are on strong legal ground that this was a legal tender, not a RFP,” Haight told council. Dan Leduc, a construction industry lawyer and member of the Kingston Construction Association (KCA), also appeared at council to suggest the city is short-changing taxpayers because many companies are hesitant to take part in the subjective awarding of RFPs. He says the Big Dig contract process lacked competition, and the result is a higher price. “The fact you had two submissions tells me you have a problem.” However, city officials defended the RFP because it allows companies and the city to address complex issues that go beyond building a road, including special methods and considerations to minimize the impact on merchants and shoppers. The contract price represented only 40 per cent of the contract bid evaluation. Corcoran scored higher than Taggart under this process. “Clearly there’s going to be some kind of legal consequences,” said Coun. Jim Neill, who cast the lone dissenting vote, referring to Taggart’s complaints over a “flawed” contract process. Some councillors wondered why Taggart or the KCA representatives never brought forward their concerns over the RFP process during the previous two Big Dig contracts. Mayor Bryan Paterson says council must stay the course and not switch the procurement rules now. “It’s not appropriate to change the rules now. Based on the rules, we have a clear winner.”

Corcoran says the city’s intent to start the road work in the dead of winter drove up the price of the project, which is $3 million higher than what the city had estimated. He says the higher costs factor in everything from providing greeters on site to help pedestrians, to thawing the ground for digging in January. But he says the most disruptive part of the Princess Street work will be done before Canada Day “That’s the commitment. We spent a lot of

time on this submission and it’s an incredibly aggressive schedule but we are confident we can get it done.” The higher contract price will also force the city to delay planned construction work on Johnson Street. It was supposed to be done before 2018 but it will now be delayed until the next council term.

Big Dig contractor says winter work pushed up project costs By Bill Hutchins

News – Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd. was awarded a $12.9 million contract to complete the third phase of downtown Kingston’s so-called ‘Big Dig.’ The same company was also hired to do the previous two phases of lower Princess Street’s reconstruction. The bulk of the main street work, between Bagot and Clergy Streets, will start in January and must be completed by July 1 2016, according to the city’s contract specifications in order to minimize disruptions to downtown businesses and customers. Company owner and president Dan Corcoran says there are many reasons why his bid through a city-issued request for proposals (RFP) came in one million dollars higher than a rival bid from Taggart Construction. He explained some the challenges of the project to The Kingston Heritage newspaper. Here’s an excerpt of the interview: Heritage: What do you think of council’s decision to go with your company, the highest bidder? Corcoran: The discussion is a fundamental one. It speaks to the difference between tenders and RFPs. Some of the KCA

(Kingston Construction Association) members are fundamentally against the RFP process. I happen to be a big fan. We started bidding on RFPs in 2010 and since then we’ve spent a lot of money perfecting our submissions recognizing why they call it an RFP – because there are special things about the job. Heritage: Can you talk about the complexities of this project. Corcoran: It’s incredible. What’s really difficult to understand is the cost to provide that level of service to the downtown; from a pedestrian standpoint, from a safety standpoint. Unless you’ve worked there you can’t comprehend it. And that’s why there’s a $1 million difference. Taggart is an excellent company. I have so much respect for them but they have not worked in that environment - not with the bar raised as high as we have in the last couple of years. That’s where the gap in the price is. Heritage: What examples do you have for the extra money? Corcoran: It’s the soft costs. There are a whole lot of bodies there who aren’t doing any physical work. They’re just there. (Downtown BIA’s) Doug Ritchie

spoke about having greeters on the street. That’s what they are. People come to a corner and have a blank look on their face. And one of our staff comes up and says ‘Excuse me sir, can we help you? Where are you trying to go?’ That’s what our folks will do. Heritage: Talk about the winter work that’s involved in this project. Corcoran: It’s horrific. When the city first called and said we want (a contractor) to start Jan. 15 we said ‘What is the matter with you people? Do you have any idea how much that costs?’ But it is doable. Heritage: What pushed the project beyond the $10 million the city had initially budgeted? Corcoran: The winter works costs. You have temporary overland water lines while you replace water mains in the ground. Just think about your garden hose on top of the ground in January. So there’s going to be some insulation. Some heat tracing. Think about trying to dig a hole in your backyard in the frozen ground. Before we can dig we have to put heating blankets onto the ground to thaw the ground. Think about the productive hours that your

workforce gets. Go stand outside for an hour in January. After 10 minutes it’s time to get warm. So those things chase the costs up significantly for the winter work. Heritage: Is it realistic to get the job done by July 1? Corcoran: That’s the commitment. We spent a lot of time on this submission and it’s an incredibly aggressive schedule but we are confident we can get it done. Heritage: How much more complex is this dig compared with the previous two phases?

Corcoran: It’s 30 per cent more complicated. It’s a big deal. A lot of area to cover. Heritage: Is there any time of year left when Kingston is construction free? Corcoran: I’m a contractor so for me there are two seasons winter and construction. It’s happening at the same time (with Big Dig 3). I’m good with that. You’ll be You’ll be

Reports in the past have shown that these are areas that we need to pay more attention to.” The data collected and the suggestions for moving forward on these three issues were presented on Oct. 6 at the Residence Inn. Community members were invited to learn more about the results and listen to presentations about the three main areas of focus for the year. Dr. Magdalena Janus of the Offord Centre for

community engagement, healthy nutrition and healthy lives and development and it is so important to our communities as a whole.” Building off of Janus’ thoughts, Mara Shaw, executive director of Loving Spoonful in Kingston, emphasized the need for more help when it comes to food security.

Bridge too far? Council opponents make their case to stop the third crossing By Bill Hutchins

News - It may well be the most expensive and important transportation project in Kingston’s modern history, but several city councillors still want no part of it. There is a solid core of councillors who would prefer to kill or indefinitely shelve the $120 million third bridge crossing. Last month, council voted to move to the next phase of spending $2.9 million on bridge design and financial plans to get the proposed Cataraqui River bridge project ‘shovel ready’ by 2019. But the vote was far from unanimous; eight councillors supporting it, and five voting against it. Coun. Mary Rita Holland, one of the five who voted against the staff recommendation, says her opposition should come as no surprise based on her election platform a year ago. “I campaigned against the third crossing and that was, for the most part, well received.” While Coun. Holland agrees the bridge would bring some benefits to commuters in her district, she also maintains the city should be pursuing more sustainable transportation goals. “It comes down to principles. I don’t believe in encouraging more roads and bridges and car culture

when we have an excellent transit system, and we can continue to build more sustainable transportation.” Coun. Jim Neill also argues the third crossing should not be a city priority. “I think we are expending an awful lot of money when we haven’t had a really comprehensive look at what the financial impacts will be.” Coun. Neill questions whether a bridge is necessary once the widening work on Highway 401 through Kingston is completed. It will expand the highway to three lanes each way. He also says the city’s four year old environmental assessment that recommended the third crossing may be outdated because of the highway expansion. Uncertain funding is another issue. Investing millions of dollars on bridge preconstruction work is a risk because senior governments may not offer any funding to begin the actual construction, Coun. Neill added. “That’s a tremendous amount of money and if we’re getting it shovel ready and the province and feds don’t come through (with funding) then we’re just burning a lot of money.” City officials continue to insist that upper levels of government will be more

likely to consider a one-third share of funding for the project once the bridge has reached the shovel ready stage. Councillors Rob Hutchison, Jeff McLaren and Peter Stroud also voted against spending any more money to advance the bridge plan. Despite the opposition, the mayor and a majority of councillors say the third crossing is vital to the city’s long term transportation needs and economic prosperity. “We’ve been talking about this since 1960,” observed Pittsburgh district councillor Ryan Boehme during a recent debate. Coun. Boehme stressed that a bridge is about connecting the entire city, not just benefiting residents in his district. He says about half of the civilian employees and soldiers at CFB Kingston, the city’s largest employer, live in the city’s Coun. Rob Hutchinson and Coun.

Editorial

OK Blue Jays, I’ll give baseball a try In past columns I have talked about my feelings towards sports; if you have been following, you know that I am a big football fan and I absolutely loathe hockey (and that doesn’t make me any less Canadian!). I haven’t, however, written much about baseball and that’s because up until now I have been indifferent about the sport, but as the Jays get ‘hot’ and post-season baseball gears up, I find myself wanting to watch and learn more and more. I know many people would call me a bandwagoner and I am completely okay with that. I fully admit that I started watching because the Jays started winning and the games were creating a lot of buzz, but as I watched, I found myself more and more interested in the sport itself. Like many non-fans, I always thought baseball was a bit boring. The games are usually at least three hours long and for most of that there isn’t much action. Korey’s

dad has had season tickets for the Jays for many years and when we started dating we would go to the occasional game. I never really looked forward to them. I usually spent most of the game surfing on my phone and didn’t really see the appeal. Now, as I watch more and more games, I understand. Baseball is more in-depth than I originally thought. There is a lot of strategy going on with the pitchers, catchers, batters, base runners, coaches – everyone, really. All of that is lost if you don’t pay attention. For example, I noticed that all batters are different. Each batter, be they the designated hitter, a homerun hitter or the catcher, has a different stance when they go up to bat. Some lean in, others lean out, some hunch over while others stand up straight and some even keep grease on their helmets so they can hold the bat more securely. These strategies help each of them in their game and they also make it more difficult for the pitcher. Pitchers are also interesting. They have many different pitches like fastballs, sliders and curveballs (which are pretty crazy when you see the curve) and while I always

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Letters to the editor

thought that the speed was the most important aspect of a good pitch, I learned that it is about more than that. Slow pitches are good too, and can actually make it harder for some batters. Also, sometimes pitchers will deliberately throw balls to get the batter to walk, especially if that batter is notorious for good hits. I’m not a big fan of this strategy, but I get why it is done. In the past few weeks I’ve watched a lot of baseball and while I always thought it was a lazier sport and not so intense, I changed my mind when I learned about doubleheaders. I couldn’t believe that two teams play back-to-back games in one day with only a half hour in between games. That’s just crazy. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. All of these factors have made me respect baseball more and now I actually enjoy and look forward to watching games. I’m excited to watch the Jays in the playoffs and actually understand more of the sport. The last time the Jays were in the World Series I was nine years old so I don’t remember much, but I do remember the excitement that everyone had for the team and it’s nice to see and be part of that now. Let’s Go Blue Jays.

In Our Opinion

Get informed, then have your say Editorial - Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 12 weeks, you are likely aware that a federal election is being held in Canada on Oct. 19. In the last election held in our area – the 2014 municipal election – voter turnout in the City of Kingston was an abysmal 39.5 per cent – up only 2.8 per cent from the 2010 election. In the last federal election, held in 2011, voter turnout hovered just below 65 per cent for both Kingston and the Islands and Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addingtion; that put both ridings slightly above the national and provincial averages, but we can still do better. For the 13 federal elections between 1957 and 1992, voter turnout in Canada ranged between 74.1 and 79.2 per cent. The recent Vital Signs report put out by the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area found that the decreasing rate of voter participation is closely linked to the lack of participation by young eligible voters, and suggested that improvement will be tied to getting young people out to vote. Thus we say to young people: the future belongs to you, and it will be shaped to a large degree by the political direction we decide for our country today. Think about what sort of Canada you want to live in, and vote for the candidate or party who best represents that vision. Disliking all the parties is not a good excuse for not voting; some will inevitably reflect your values more than others. The Kingston Heritage and Frontenac Gazette have done our best to ensure that information about local candidates and the parties they represent is readily available to readers. Our papers serve three ridings (Kingston and the Islands, LanarkFrontenac-Kingston and Hastings-Lennox and Addington) and all candidates have been profiled and given the opportunity to say what they stand for in their own words through our questionnaire, published Oct. 8. We’ve also reported on quite a few all candidates meetings so that those who were unable to make it could be aware of the highlights. All of these profiles and stories are available on KingstonRegion.com. You can get voting out of the way with early at advance polls, which are open Oct. 9 – 12. For more information on these, visit www.elections.ca or check your voter information card. Otherwise, we’ll see you at the polls Oct. 19. Please take the time to educate yourself, then have your say.

Most Kingstonians know by now that KEDCO is a shady organization, but the fact that both the mayor and city counil are allowing them to review themselves suggests they are equally as corrupt.

Editorial - Each week more than 1,000 English and French community newspapers just like the Kingston Heritage and Frontenac Gazette go about the business of telling stories that matter to the communities they serve. We are at your rinks and schools. We are at your council meetings. We are at the scene when tragedy strikes. We celebrate your milestones. Our job is to cover the city of Kingston, Frontenac County and Loyalist Township, warts and all. And we are good at it. Community newspapers are in towns big and small. Some circulate well in excess of 100,000 copies. Some are in the hundreds. It may surprise you that each week, more than 20 million copies of community newspapers are distributed across the country. Independent research shows that more than 70 per cent of Canadians read their community paper. Despite our collective strength, ours is a medium easy to ignore. Because we focus on Canada one community at a time, we lack the sex appeal of other media. We’ve seen our share of federal government advertising gradually erode over the years. Our regional and national associations have met with government MPs, opposition MPs, cabinet ministers and senior bureaucrats to promote our case. We are always met with courtesy and a promise that things will get better. Well things are not getting better. So despite it being contradictory to everything we believe in journalistically, the time has come to tell you. In short, the federal government is all but ignoring your community newspapers like The Heritage and Gazette. We believe this means the federal government is ignoring you and your community’s right to be informed about programs and services offered by the Government of Canada. In the last fiscal year, the federal government spent $75 million on advertising. More than $26 million of that went to TV ads, while another $15.5 million went to Internet advertising – an industry dominated by American-based companies like Google and Facebook. Creating ads and paying ad agencies ate away another $10 million. Radio advertising cost just under $7 million.

By comparison, community newspapers saw a paltry $867,000 in total advertising from Ottawa – or an average of about $25 per week per newspaper. The way in which your government uses your money to communicate with you is very telling. TV and Internet ads work to build brand, not to inform. Your community newspaper generates debate and serves as a forum for discussion – and is also one of the few places where local MPs actually receive editorial coverage outside election season. That’s why those MPs submit letters to the editor, columns or buy their own local advertising to share their work with the community. They know the power of your local community paper. The federal government knows it, too. The Harper government spent $1.25 million with a company called NewsCanada to create its own stories – stories it offers for free to print and broadcast outlets. The vast majority of these government-approved stories are never published. But you and I paid for them. It is disconcerting that the federal government spent 50 per cent more creating its own news than the total advertising buy in Canadian newspapers. The federal government strategy appears to be that it’s more important to make pretty ads than to put relevant information about programs and services in front of readers of community newspapers. They’re telling you they’d rather give your tax dollars to Facebook and Google than Canadian-based companies that invest in local journalism. If the federal government continues to ignore our community newspapers, some communities may lose them. When that happens a vital voice is silenced. If you believe, as we do, that government should invest in meaningful communication with citizens through community newspapers, we’d love to hear from you. Give us a call at 613-546-8885 or write a letter to the editor. We’ll continue to make sure your voice is heard.

Column - My ancestors moved to Canada from Ireland in 1851, the sixth year of the Irish Potato Famine. The specifics of why they moved have been lost, but the year tells enough. By the time my ancestors settled in Canada, Ireland had lost a quarter of its population: one million people had fled in overcrowded boats, and another million at home had died of starvation and disease. Given that almost five million people in Canada have some Irish ancestry, it’s remarkable how little we remember about the details of this calamity. Yes, it was triggered by a potato disease that ruined harvests. But the stage was set by British policy. For generations, Irish people had been pushed off the best land, forced to pay enormous rents on their own farms, and reduced to dependence on a single crop, the potato, for survival. With Irish people robbed of their resilience by British colonial policy, a famine was almost inevitable. And even as people starved by the thousand, Ireland was forced to continue exporting food to Britain. Mass starvation was no accident. The current refugee disaster in the Middle East is not an accident either. The civil war in Syria began after an extreme drought and crop failure that has been blamed, in part, on global warming. (Which means some of the responsibility is ours: with the expansion of the tar sands, and Harper’s abysmal environment policy, Canada has become one of the world’s major climate change culprits.) But the roots of the current disaster are even deeper. During the First World War, European powers divided the resource-rich Middle East amongst themselves, drawing arbitrary new borders through existing peoples. (The first of these plans, the Sykes-Picot Agreement, was prepared in secret but later leaked by the Guardian newspaper.) These new borders were designed to create ethnic tensions and to divide peoples against each other. British and French colonialists intentionally created modern Syria and Iraq so they could prop up warlords who didn’t have majority backing. Dictators who would need foreign backing and violence to stay in power in exchange gave up oil and other resources to Europe.

Those 20th century colonial powers wanted their puppet regimes to be fragile, so that without perpetual military support the countries they were setting up would fall apart into bloody civil wars. Well, they finally got what they wanted. Through similar arrangements of colonial pillage the European powers and their inheritors, like Canada and United States, grew wealthier as the colonies grew poorer. Those of us in the wealthier parts of the world have mostly forgotten this history, just as we’ve forgotten the history of the potato famine. But its effects, such as deep global inequality, endure. The millions of refugees fleeing Syria for Europe and elsewhere are, in some sense, merely following wealth that was siphoned away from them over the last century. It’s not 1920 anymore; it’s not 1851. Canada has inherited the wealth of the colonial powers, but we don’t have to inherit their mentality. We don’t have to inherit their greed, their selfishness, or their racism. We can do better. In the aftermath of the Irish Potato Famine, tens of thousands of Irish refugees landed at Kingston, in a time when the city (amongst the largest in Ontario) had a population of less than 12,000. All in all, more than 100,000 Irish refugees settled in British North America. And yet, this year Canada has accepted only a thousand Syrian refugees into a country of 35 million people. And only about 200 of those have been government-supported (with the rest privately

sponsored). This should be a source of great shame for all of us. We have resources that people in the 1850s couldn’t even dream of, resources that would make it easy for us to accept and accommodate far more refugees. And we should demand that whatever federal government forms this fall does exactly

that. We can do better. We must do better. You can learn more about the refugee crisis and actions to take in Canada at refugeeswelcome.ca. Aric McBay is a farmer and author.

Refugees fleeing the Irish Potato Famine had to crowd aboard dangerous, rickety sailing vessels dubbed “coffin ships.”

Tires for you maximum benefit and safety this coming winter! Now that fall is here and winter will be following close behind, many of our customers here at Kingston Dodge Chrysler will be asking, “should I buy winter tires? Aren’t my “all season” tires okay for winter driving?” The answer is yes, your all-season tires are “okay” for winter. But below 7 degrees Celsius the superior adhesion of winter tires begins to make a difference, even on dry winter roads. With their specifically formulated rubber compounds, tread design, and increased sipes (grooves) winter tires reduce vehicle stopping distances by up to 25% over all-season tires - performance

that can make the difference between a close call and an accident. The second questions is, “should I by two winter tires or four?” To get the maximum benefit and safety, you should always buy four winter tires. You may also want to consider steel wheels for your winter tires – it saves the wear and tear of breaking down your rims and tires every season, and the money you save on tire changeovers will pay for the extra rims over time. When shopping different brands of winter tires, consider not only price, but quality and warranty. Higher priced winter tires can offer su-

perior technology and materials that help increase performance. During your tire changeover is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of a Seasonal Inspection to ensure your vehicle is in top working condition to face the extreme temperatures over the winter months. It is also recommended to have a wheel alignment done – it will help extend the life of your new tires and the suspension components of your vehicle. Come in to Kingston Dodge Chrysler Jeep and talk to our parts or service staff about your winter maintenance and our “Buy Three Get One Free” tire sale, on now!

Doctors across the province fight for care, not cuts and urge patients to do the same By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Every day Ontario’s doctors diagnose, treat, and care for 320,000 patients, but with looming pay cuts, they may be forced to decrease their level of service in the coming months. The latest round of cuts comes as a result of failed negotiations between the Provincial government and the Ontario Medical Association (OMA). The two groups met earlier this year to negotiate their expired contract but after much debate, conciliation and facilitation, a mutual agreed upon contract didn’t happen. “In the latest series of negotiations, the OMA offered a freeze and we would re-sign with no change for another three to five years, but the Ontario government didn’t feel like that was good enough and imposed a further series of cuts,” explained Kingston eye surgeon Dr. Donald Smallman. While the cuts are an issue, the main concern for physicians and Smallman are not the cuts themselves, but the global cap the Ontario government

wants to put on physician services. “They want to spend a fixed amount on physician services for the fiscal year and nothing beyond that, which means doctors will eventually run out of funding at some point,” explained Smallman. The province wants to spend $11.6 billion on physician services and while that represents a 1.25 per cent increase in the global budget compared to the last fiscal year, Smallman says it does not accurately reflect the increased need in services in the province: “Because of the increase in population in Ontario on a year to year basis and an aging demographic in our population, the utilization of healthcare goes up every year by about double that projected increase. So we know that healthcare use will increase by about 3.5 per cent, but the government is refusing to fund that increase and once they reach that maximum target they won’t pay physicians anymore.” Many doctors are worried about what will happen as a result. In his own work, Smallman has already seen wait lists increase for his services and he fears this will only get worse with

these cuts. ing. I fear for the future if caps are make patients suffer and that isn’t “It is one thing to take a pay cut brought back in and I fear we won’t right.” every year, but it is another thing to be able to provide the same levels For more information visit www. take a pay cut and then know that you of service. Unfortunately that will ontariosdoctors.ca will run completely out of budget at some point,” he said. “It has been hard for a lot of offices to take and hard for people who run practices and doctors are becoming very vocal about these issues.” Unfortunately the OMA has no recourse against these cuts. Instead, they will encourage the Ontario government to come back to the bargaining table. “That is why you see social media campaigns and in the future there is potential for job action on the parts of physicians. You may even see protests and activism,” said Smallman. “Right now doctors are starting petitions in their offices and patients are being made aware of the situation.” Smallman urges concerned citizens to get involved with the fight and write letters to their local MPPs about the impact it will have on them as patients. “We are trying to do everything we can at this point,” he said. “The One of images popping up on social media to support Ontario doctors whole situation is very disappoint- in their fight for negotiations with the province.

Libertarian candidate for Kingston and the Islands hopes to give community members an alternative choice By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – As election day approaches, a new candidate in Kingston has decided to add his name to the ballot; Luke McAllister is a second year Queen’s engineering student from Manitoba; he has identified as a Libertarian for most of his life, so when he reached voting age he decided to commit to his party a

bit more. “I figured that I should make an informed decision and support the party further,” said McAllister. “I couldn’t see myself voting for any other party so I decided to run in this riding because there was no Libertarian candidate here.” The Libertarian Party of Canada aims to reduce the responsibilities and expense of government. Their goal is to create a country

where Canadians can manage their own lives. “We stand for small government and economic and personal freedom,” said McAllister. “We think that government should stay out of our lives and the very day to day things that we do.” McAllister thinks that this form of government would be beneficial in both Kingston and Canada. “We believe that government shouldn’t benefit people and shouldn’t be in the business of providing services necessarily, but it should just give freedom to all people,” he said. “It is not about picking favourites, it is about freedom for everyone in Canada and allowing Kingstonians to speak for themselves.” While McAllister is new to the election race, he has been trying to get the word out about his party and his platform, especially to students. “I really want to encourage students to vote, whether it is for me or someone else, it doesn’t really bother me, I just want them to vote,” he said. “I know voter turnout is really low in my age bracket and so I want to improve on that.” McAllister has had a passion for politics for most of his life, but when he was choosing what to study at Queen’s he had to make a difficult decision. “I’m not studying politics because I am also passionate about science and engineering,” he said. “Let’s face it, my political beliefs are very counter-cultural in Canada. I don’t think I could have a career in politics unless there was a drastic shift in the government.”

Luke McAllister is the Libertarian candidate for MP in the Kingston and the Islands riding. On Election Day, McAllister hopes that Kingstonians appreciate that there is another choice on the ballot and he hopes that some will choose the Libertarian Party. “I think the other options in Kingston and across Canada other than the Libertarian party are all big government options and not everyone wants that,” he said. “If you think the role of government is to stay out of our lives and you want to make the decision for yourself, vote Libertarian.” For more information about the Libertarian Party of Canada visit www.libertarian.ca

may not be worth the sacrifices you have to make in order to earn that money. Studies have shown that longer commutes can elevate stress levels, and even the most

affordable property may not be worth moving to if you won’t be able to enjoy the home with your friends and family. When deciding whether or not to

sell their homes, many homeowners make the decision a strictly financial one. But there is more than money to consider when deciding if now is the right time to sell your home.

nificant investment, and you want to earn as substantial a return on that investment as possible. Selling when the market is struggling will make your investment less valuable. Research recently sold homes in your neighborhood to get an idea of how much you can expect to get if you sold your home in the current market. It might be worth it to sell now, or it might pay off to be patient and wait until the market rebounds. • Kids: Selling your home will impact your family just like it will impact your bottom line. Unless you plan to move down the street or to another home in your community, selling may mean you and your family no longer see your friends and neighbors. That can be a difficult adjustment, especially for school-aged kids who will have to adjust to a new school. The potentially negative impact that selling can have on your children may not be worth the financial benefits of selling, so the decision of whether or not to sell should not be taken lightly by homeowners who also happen to be parents. • Quality of life: It can be difficult to turn down an opportunity to make a lot of money on your real estate investment. But if you plan to sell and move further away from your office and your friends and family, the financial windfall you earn when selling your home

R001

Selling a home is no small undertaking. It often pays to be patient when putting a property up for sale, but waiting for an acceptable offer can be stressful, especially for those homeowners who have already found their next homes. Because so much tends to be riding on the decision of whether or not to sell a home, homeowners would be wise to consider the following factors before putting that “For Sale” sign in their front yards. • Motivation: Many homeowners sell their homes because their families are growing and they have outgrown their current residences. Others may recognize a seller’s real estate market and want to strike while the iron is hot, while still others might be moving for a new job. The factors that motivate homeowners to sell their homes vary with each individual case, but prospective sellers should keep in mind that moving can be expensive, and finding a new home may not be so easy, nor is the grass necessarily greener on the other side. When deciding if now is the best time to sell your home, make sure you will be selling for the right reason. That can make the often trying process of selling a home a lot easier to handle. • Market: The local real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to sell your home. A home is a sig-

News – Mark Budd has never thought of himself as political, but in recent years he has found himself caring about the future of his country more and more. “The current government wants to attack any group that gets in the way of their agenda and that really bothers me,” said Budd, who lives in Carleton Place with his family. “In my view they are undermining democracy in Canada and the necessary checks and balances in place within the government and all of this prompted me to get more involved.” Budd has always voted for right-wing parties in past elections, but when he looked at the candidates in the Lanark-FrontenacKingston this time around he saw no real option. “For a long time I have really valued personal freedom and non-interference in people’s affairs including my own and non-interference by the government and I learned that these views align well with the Libertarian Party of Canada,” he said. “So I decided to join the party and become the candidate in this riding. I wanted to give people more choice.” Budd believes in a society where the government steps back and lets businesses and people grow on their own. “All ridings in Canada would do well in that model. Businesses would be more

motivated to start, individuals would have more control over their lives and that would be of value to Canadians.” Initially, going into the campaign, Budd hoped to be a more passive candidate, but as the campaign has gone on he finds himself getting more and more involved and even hitting the streets. “It is difficult because the Libertarian party is new in this region and I am doing everything myself,” he said. “But I really want people to know that I am out here and that there is another option on the ballot.” Budd hopes that people who have become disillusioned with the current government and the other parties choose to support something new this time around. “People may view that as a wasted vote, but what it does do is it allows people to express their opinion in some small way,” he said. “Even though we have little chance of winning I think it is important that people have the option to express their real opinion.” Budd hopes that as things progress more parties like the Libertarians will emerge and that Canada can slowly move towards becoming a more hands off country. “We all need to keep pushing for the type of government that we really want to see in the future and this is my way of doing that.” For more information about the Libertarian Party visit www.libertarian.ca

LCVI chefs-in-training cook for the community By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – If you are looking for a great meal on a Wednesday afternoon, look no further than Loyalist Collegiate Vocational Institute (LCVI). On Oct. 6, the Cooks Internship Program at the high school started its annual community luncheon programs and new students are excited to get more people into the dining room to enjoy their hard work. “This is a program we have been running for a long time and it really gives the kids an opportunity to learn how to manage a kitchen and create a menu,” said Doug James, instructor for the program. “They have to come up with a theme and then they have to plan execute it all. It is a great exercise.” The first luncheon took place on Oct. 6 and while there weren’t that many people in attendance, James is confident that there will be soon. “We run the luncheons from October to December and it slowly builds throughout the season,” he said. “We had 15 people for the first lunch and last year around Christmas we had about 40 guests so it is kind of like a full restaurant, which is great for the kids.” For the initial luncheon the class served an Italian meal with focaccia flatbread with herbs to start, a salad of romaine lettuce and onions wrapped in cucumber with a honey balsamic glaze, Tuscan braised chicken

with polenta and Swiss chard and an apple galette for dessert. “It was awesome,” said Douglas Davidson, a student in the program. “It was pretty difficult to get a meal like that together and I felt the pressure because the bread had to go out first and I was in charge of that, but I think it turned out great.” James served as head chef for the first week, but as the semester progresses, individuals in the class will be asked to take on the role; Davidson gets to be head chef next. “I am really excited and a little nervous,” he said. “I took this program because I have a passion for cooking and I really want to show that.” Many of the students in the program have very little cooking experience, so James spent September teaching them knife skills and basic prep skills. “We learned a lot,” said Grade 12 student Lyndsey Struthers. “We also get to use a lot of tools we wouldn’t have access to at home and that’s pretty neat.” The program also teaches students about cooking restaurant quality food, safety and cleanliness. “They are learning to prepare food for the public and putting together recipes in a timely fashion and that is really important if they want a career in food,” said James. Many former students from the program have moved on to college culinary courses or apprenticeships and Davidson hopes that will be him one day too.

building dedicated to culture and the arts was a joy. “Our new home at the Tett is excellent.” The new large, well-lit, rooms are a pleasure to work in. For the first time, club members were able to design their own space. Working closely with the City and contractors they were able to create a more functional workshop, with plenty of user friendly space and lots of accessible storage. “This removes the clutter factor of our previous workshops,” adds Moss. “We divided our space into a silversmithing area and a lapidary area, with a large central storeroom for easy access to all our equipment and supplies.” “It’s quite different compared to the space at the Tett before renovations,” she explains. “It was a great spot, but I always felt you where in the basement, although you were on the main floor. We are actually on the same floor as previously, just a bit more towards the lake. I love this floor with the high ceilings and large windows. When the city designed the Tett, they replaced the dividing wall with a partial glass wall. This allows light from both sides of the building to enter our studio and allows visitors to the building to see inside each studio.” These days, the club numbers some 200 adult and family memberships, ranging from one to 85 years old. It is very family oriented with lots to do for all age groups. Their junior program, for ages 8-12, encourages youngsters to learn about rocks, minerals and crystals in a hands-on approach. Family oriented field trips are held from May through October to

went to our first show when it was at the Tett building,” says Moss. “The shop was open and Cliff Walker was demonstrating the art and skill of lapidary. We were instantly hooked and the rest is history.” It’s obvious they have a love for the hobby. “It’s all about the joy of creation,” says Moss. “I get satisfaction from taking a rough rock and turning it into a fabulous piece of jewelry, all the while learning about the wonders of the earth. Lapidary work is very soothing and relaxing.” The club promotes and encourages the growth of all phases of lapidary work, mineral and fossil collecting. It had its modest beginning more than half a decade ago in a home basement in 1962. It was in February of that year that two dozen rock and mineral enthusiasts gathered for the fist time with the hopes of starting up a club. The group bounced around to several locations over the years before settling on the Tett Centre in 1976. Since those early days, membership has grown and they have called the J.K. Tett Centre home for close to 30 years – with a temporary relocation beginning in 2009 when the to the former town hall and St. John’s building in Portsmouth during the Tett Centre rejuvenation. With the completion of the new Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning, members were able to come home to a shinny new stateof-the-art workshop in December 2014. “The Tett has been our home for many years,” says Moss. “Returning to this modern and functional

Anyone who has ever picked up a rounded pebble, a curiously shaped rock or sparkling gem and handled it with wonder, knows the urge to collect - to examine and enjoy later. What is it? How was it made? Is it valuable? Can I create something from it? Unearth these nuggets of information and more at Gem Storm, the 46th annual gem and mineral show, hosted by the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club (KLMC) at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17-18 Organizers say this year’s offering should make for one of the best gem and mineral shows ever. In addition to thousands of colourful rocks, minerals and fossils, many club members and exhibitors will be showing and selling unique jewelry pieces. “We will have over 33 dealers from Ontario and Quebec, many of them KLMC members, selling an excellent selection of crystals, minerals, one-of-a-kind jewellery

pieces, facetted stones, fossils, or unique carvings,” explains Eileen Moss, club vice-president. “This year Gem Storm has all of your favourite vendors back. The show features unique and beautiful creations made by nature and assisted by man. It’s a great once-a-year opportunity to buy those Christmas or special occasion gifts.” “The popular children’s mine stocked with lots of great specimens ready for collecting by young rock hounds will also be back,” adds Moss, whose love of the hobby began decades ago. It all started for Moss and her husband Les in 1984 during a vacation to western Canada. “We stopped at the amethyst mine near Thunder Bay and found this beautiful purple mineral and that started it,” explains Moss. “We discovered there was a club near the mine and visited with them for a bit, and that was it. We were hooked on these wonderful treasures coming from the Earth.” The couple have been enjoying the hobby for over 29 years. “We R0013501760_1015

collect minerals and crystals from a variety of locales. “At our shop we offer a number of courses including lapidary (the art of cutting and shaping stones) and silver smithing,” adds Moss. “All tools and equipment are provided and is open to all ages 11 years and older. As we are a non profit club we offer a wide variety of courses at a very modest price. Our instructors are club members and valued volunteers.” Members, both old and young, enjoy talking about their hobby and sharing this interest with everyone during Gem Storm. Show organizers say this will be a very family oriented show and have attempted to represent every aspect of the hobby in the dealer selection featuring many lapidary related items, great minerals, gemstones, beads, carvings, paintings, jewelry, fossils and crystals. “Everyone who finds out about and goes to Gem Storm loves Gem Storm,” adds Moss. “To see it, is to fall in love with it. It’s nature at its best. It has something for everyone. But, it’s perhaps the size of the show and display areas which amazes new visitors to the show most.” Gem Storm runs from 10 a.m.- 6 p.m., Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday. Admission is $3 per person, children under 12 free when accompanied by a paying adult. To learn more about the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club visit www.mineralclub.ca.

Sharbot Lake hosts a pair of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston all-candidates meetings News — Sharbot Lake was the host site for a pair of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding allcandidates debates last week, both at the Granite Ridge Education Centre. The first was an afternoon affair, an annual tradition for several years now, where the candidates squared off in front of an assembly of Grades 7-12, after being treated to lunch prepared by the restaurant training class. The second, held in the evening, was organized by the Retired Teachers Association. “This has been going on for several years now,” said Grade 12 student Sadie Clarke, one of 11 organizers on the committee that brought the candidates in for the afternoon session. “It’s become more like a tradition than a class exercise. “But, we feel like it’s our responsibility to the school and the community to host this. “I’m not old enough to vote yet but getting involved like this really encourages me.”

The students have their own ‘mock election’ scheduled for Oct. 14. When the candidates took the stage, several students took turn asking questions. Many of the questions, understandably, revolved around issues that interest students such as “what will your party do to make post-secondary education more affordable,” “what is your party’s position on the medical and recreational use of marijuana in our society,” and “what will your party do to increase employment.” But there were also questions on terrorism, the environment, and improving health care. As to making post-secondary education more affordable, the answers varied widely. “The Registered Education Savings Plan is the centerpiece of the Conservative plan,” said incumbent Scott Reid. “We will double the federal matching contribution for lower and middle income families.” “We will reduce debt for student loans,” said Green Party candidate Anita Payne, without re-

ally going into too much detail other than to say they’d cap student loan paybacks at $10,000. “We will move towards free tuition for universities, community colleges and training programs and plan a ‘service corps’ that would allow students to get some experience by working for municipalities.” “I have four children, so making education affordable is right at the top of my list,” said Lib-

eral candidate Phil Archambault. “I had to drop out my first time at university because of cost but eventually I went back to get an MBA.” “I have three daughters and it’s absolutely unfair for anybody in this room not to have the option to go to college or university,” said NDP candidate John Fenik. “We’ll make more money available for grants and no-interest loans for borrowing.”

Celebrating life while honouring the past in my immediate family and something they do in Mexico on November 1 and 2.” The Dia de los Muertos festival originated in Mexico in Pre-Hispanic times. With its roots in the ancient Aztec world, the festival spread throughout Latin cultures, and you’ll find celebrations throughout North and South America, as well as in some European countries. “It has nothing to do with Halloween, nor zombies,” said Rivera Belsham. She shook her head and laughed. “You wouldn’t believe some of the misconceptions. Dia de los Muertos is about honouring our loved ones who have passed, and expressing ourselves through art, and celebrating with wonderful food and music.” She explained that the festival is about a community coming together. “A common thing is the altar,” she said. “You’ll find them everywhere in Hispanic cultures. It’s about honour-

ing people who have passed from this life. You’ll have people put flowers and photos of people and reminders of things they liked to do. There’s lots of music and then, at certain times, silence.” In the common area of sacred space, the altar, visitors can place mementos like a photo or flowers to honour a Dia de los Muertos—the day of the loved one who has passed away. dead—will soon be upon us. “There will be opportunity for anyQuetzalcoatl Kingston, an Aztec one to add to the community altar, or cultural group, is bringing the tradiorganizations can create their own tional Hispanic celebration to Kingsfor display at the event,” said Rivera ton on November 1, when you can take Belsham. part in this first annual community celAltars commonly include candles, ebration of life and death.

Rivera Belsham said that in our culture we shy away from the concept of death. After a person dies, we are expected to get over the death quickly. But grieving takes a long time, and, without

allowing ourselves to fully experience the loss, we have difficulty living a full life. Dia de los Muertos is about accepting the loss and honoring those who have gone before us. “The festival relates to everyone,” said Rivera Belsham. “It really is about a celebration of life with music, dance, food and decorations. This is an opportunity for young and old to come together to bring lightness to the shared reality of mortality, honouring those we’ve lost, recognizing their contribution to our lives, and celebrating the lives we continue to live today. ” She explained that she wants the event to be accessible to everyone so, instead of a set admission fee, there will be a pay-what-you-can charge. The November 1 program, the first in Kingston, will be held in the Malting Tower of the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning at 370 King Street West. Yessica thinks it’s the perfect setting. “The festival felt homeless for a while,” she said. “But now we have the Tett Centre, which is so beautiful. We’ll be right there by the water. And I’m passionate about local musicians, so we’ll be highlighting them all day.” Entertainment at the Kingston festival will include music by Son Latino, a traditional Latin group that calls Kingston home. Los Paisanos, a Mariachi band from Ottawa, will perform. There’s also be a samba band, as well as John Torres. “John is from El Salvador,” said River Belsham. “For him, it’s all about collaboration. It’s wonderful all the things he does.” Participants and visitors are welcome to dress in colorful clothing and decorate themselves with face paint. “The decorating is about celebrating life, but it’s not just about dressing up. It’s about expressions of love, connecting and honouring loved ones of the past. We are creating a safe space where we can celebrate, and where it’s okay to express emotions.” She said that it’s not just a drop-in event. “People will do more than just look around and then leave,” she said. “It’s not only music and food. There will be lots of activities throughout the day. The music will run all day, but there will also be workshops like worry dollmaking. We are going to have piñatas for children and adults.” Food will be catered by Mexico

Linda restaurant. You’ll have an opportunity to witness dancers from the Street Ballerinas Performance Art Project get into the spirit of the festival. Around 7 p.m., ballerinas will enter through a wall of fog and emerge in full white ballet gear, including tutus. To honor those who have gone before, dancers will be carrying photos of ballerinas and male ballet dancers who have passed from this life. They will place the images in the sacred space that is created for the event. One of the dancers in the performance art project will be preparing the ballerinas faces with paint to reflect their respect for the festival. The day will end with the community drum circle and community singing. This event is entirely self-funded by Quetzalcoatl Kingston and they are hoping for some corporate or organizational sponsorships to cover the costs of space rental, decorating supplies and entertainment. “We want this to be a really meaningful event,” said Rivera Belsham. “We want to honor our traditions and strengthen the connection between Canada and Mexico. Like the migration of butterflies, this will be a celebration, but life is fragile. I hope this connects with people who may be struggling, and they feel welcome to grieve amidst a big celebration. We want people to know you can express feelings in a healthy way. They will be coming to express and to celebrate.” Above all, Rivera Belsham wants to share Mexican culture. “If people have gone to Mexico or if they’ve heard of Dia de los Muertos and want to experience the traditional festival for real, this will be an opportunity to do that.” On the following day, there will be a much quieter celebration. On Monday, November 2, there will be a meditation at Janati Yoga School to honor those who have passed away.

Local family emphasizes the importance and impact of the War Amps CHAMP program mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Elginburg native, Carter Sly was born with fibular hemimelia, a birth defect that left him without a fibula. At age one, Sly had an amputation done on his leg and soon after War Amps became a part of his life. “They have been amazing,” said Alzira Sly, Carter’s mom. “They cover his recreational leg, or running leg, and they offer support and that has been invaluable for us.” Now, at the age of eight, Carter is a normal kid. He plays sports, runs around and participates in programs that help other kids just like him. Carter and his family also attend the War Amps CHAMP conferences whenever they can. The Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program offers comprehensive services to child amputees and their families, including financial assistance, regional seminars and peer support. “When we go to the seminars he has an amazing time,” said Sly. “It is really about amputees helping other amputees and it goes for parents too.”

Vital signs Continued from page 5

over 20,000 people are currently living the poverty line and that is not including residents in Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. “There are a lot of people working minimum wage jobs and people can’t get enough hours to put food on the table,” said Shaw. “Precarious employment and social assistance rates not being high enough and physical and mental health issues all contribute to this lack of food security. We can’t be judgemental on this, we need to find solutions.” Along with these two important topics, Michael Bell, CFKA President and Vital Signs 2015 Project Leader also pointed out that the third goal of this year’s report, community engagement, is more than just interacting with others, it is also about recognizing other members of the community.

This year, the Slys attended with 25 other families; some were new to the group and dealing with issues similar to Carter’s for the first time. “It was really great to be able to talk to them and reassure them that everything will be fine,” said Sly. “A lot of the new parents are overwhelmed and in some cases shocked that it is happening to them and it is good to be there with Carter and show them that everything will be fine. Carter is a normal kid and he plays hockey and baseball and nothing has ever stopped him.” The CHAMP program, which serves children in Canada under 18 who are born missing a limb or have lost a limb due to an accident or medical causes, also helps Carter feel less alone. “He gets to see that he isn’t the only one with a recreational limb and he likes to play with the other kids and talk to them about different adjustments that he can get, like a special pedal for biking so his foot doesn’t slide off,” said Sly. “He learns a lot from other kids and families.” Carter and his family attend

Carter Sly, 8, attended the War Amps CHAMP conference with mom, Alzira, in September.

“We want to try to establish some visibility for the first people in Kingston,” said Bell. “The truth and reconciliation report came out in the spring and it seemed to be a good thing to focus on and provide visibility for a group of people in town that may not receive that much attention and really create more of a community with them.” So what can residents in the Kingston area do to help and improve on these three major areas? “People can grow more crops in their vegetable garden and give the surplus to Loving Spoonful, or they can take their kids to the library for a literacy program, or they can help other families with reading to their kids,” suggested Bell. “All of this contributes to a smarter and more caring community and that is really our goal.” Bell also added that people can get out and vote on Oct. 19. As with

last year’s report, this year’s urges citizens – especially young voters – to get out and vote in the upcoming election. Almost 40 per cent of eligible voters nationally, provincially and locally consistently do not exercise their vote in Federal elections. To help increase rates in the upcoming Oct. 19 federal election, CFKA is challenging active voters to ‘buddy with a young voter’ and help them check if they are on the voter list, inform themselves about the candidates and issues, and go and vote together. “We are really a-political at CFKA, but we want people to vote,” said Bell. “I don’t care who you vote for just get out there and do it.” For more information about this year’s Vital Signs report visit www. cfka.org or look for CFKA on Facebook and Twitter.

workshops at the conference and many are narrowed to focus on loss of specific limbs. Sly finds that as Carter gets older, the conference is becoming more and more important and helpful. “He has younger kids looking up to him and asking him questions and it is great to see him interacting and encouraging others,” she said. “He can share his own experiences now and relate with others.” Overall, Sly finds the CHAMP program invaluable to both her and Carter’s quality of life and she encourages other parents dealing with similar situations to come out as often as they can. “The kids don’t feel like they are different and that is so important,” she said. “War Amps has always been so supportive and I am grateful for that.” For more information about the CHAMP program visit www. waramps.ca

WIGGANS, Frances Geraldine (nee Wark) August 10, 1927 – September 27, 2015 It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Geraldine. She left us at the age of 88 to join her husband Ed, her parents and her 9 siblings including the late Thomas Wark (former Police Chief of Renfrew) in eternal life. Born and raised in Renfrew, Ontario, Geraldine met Ed in Kingston through her brother John and they married in 1948 and moved out west to BC and then on to Guyana, Quebec, Ontario, California, Australia, Ontario and finally returning to BC in 1997 – 25 homes in 60 years! Ed and Geraldine spent their retirement years managing a heritage Inn in Kingston, Ontario; renovating their homes and travelling through the US in an RV. Geraldine spent her final years in Tsawwassen and Qualicum Beach volunteering at Senior Centers’ and her Church. She loved to read, play bridge, organize bridge luncheons and spend time with Family. She leaves behind 5 children, 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren with another on the way! All she ever wanted to be was a mother and her family is a beautiful reflection of her caring heart. Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God chose for me I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left you all. Geraldine will be laid to rest with Ed at St. Mark’s Church, Qualicum Beach on May 1st, 2016 – to commemorate their 68th wedding anniversary. A celebration of life will be held around that time. We are forever grateful to Dr. Peter Haslett, Dr. Hector Baillie and the staff of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for their care of Geraldine over the last few years. If you wish, donations can be made in Geraldine’s name to Qualicum Cat Rescue, the Salvation Army or St. Mark’s Church, Qualicum.

Mystery car identified as a 1904 Buick touring Bill Sherk

Car Detective

A photograph arrived from John W. Allen who wrote: “Bill, I’ve lived in this house at 180 Moffat St., Carleton Place, Ontario, for 40 years and have been unable to ascertain the make/ model/year of the car in the picture. The driver is David Findlay Sr. and the year c. 1916. Can you help?” At first, I thought it was a 1904 Model B Ford, but the shape of the hood did not match. Then I suddenly remembered seeing a 1904 or ’05 Buick in the garage of the late Ron Fawcett of Whitby, Ontario, who restored vintage cars for many decades. I typed in “1904 Buick” on Google and up popped pictures identical to the car parked in front of the house in the photo from John W. Allen. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, “the first Buick made for sale, the 1904 Model B, was built in Flint, Michigan. There were 37 Buicks made that year, none of which survive. There are, however, two replicas in existence: the1904 endurance car at the Buick Gallery and Research Center in Flint, and a Model B assembled by an enthusiast in California for the Buick Division’s 100th anniversary. Both of these vehicles use various parts from Buicks of that era, as well as fabricated parts. These vehicles were each constructed with the two known surviving 1904 engines.”

Unlike the Model B, the 1905 Model C Buick had large brass headlights. The car in the photo has no headlights. Cars back then were so new that no one at first felt the need for headlights. And with the dirt roads littered with horseshoe nails, would you be willing to risk getting a flat tire after dark? The car in the photo also has no windshield, no top, no bumpers, and no front doors. The 1904 Buicks had a flat twincylinder overhead-valve engine centrally mounted under the floor for maximum stability. These cars were right-hand-drive so the driver could keep a close eye on the ditch, and many motorists in 1904 were just learning how to drive. Not until the fall of 1908 did the steering wheel move to the left when Henry Ford launched his famous Model T. Ford planned on building millions of cars and believed that the oncoming traffic would become a greater hazard than the ditch. The year 1908 also saw the birth of General Motors thanks to flamboyant entrepre-

neur Billy Durant. The Buick Motor Company was added to GM that same year, and became an important cornerstone of the new company. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column receives a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

This photo shows the1904 Buick touring with the whole family on board.

Everyone played a role in sauerkraut making The cabbages were ready.Â Â The heads filled four bushel baskets in the summer kitchen, and Mother had covered them with old quilts.Â Â She said to keep them safe from an early frost, which wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely since it was still September, and they were well protected in the snug summer kitchen.Â Â We knew it was to keep the mice off them!Â Â Mother worried constantly that a mouse would come in contact with anything we might eventually put in our mouths! It was a Saturday night and everything was ready.Â Â The big barrel had been well scoured, sun-dried, and now rolled into the kitchen waiting for the shredded cabbage. We always made sauerkraut on a Saturday night.Â Â It was then the whole family would be together, and this was a true family venture!Â Â And it all happened around the old pine kitchen table that had been scrubbed within an inch of its life. Father had the shredder ready.Â Â It was a wood box affair about ten inches wide, a couple feet long, with a piece of board smooth as silk from many years of usage, fittingÂ exactly the top of the box.Â Â In this board, was a sharp blade imbedded in the middle, and only Father manned this part of the operation.Â Â Everett was once allowed to use the shredder and ended up with a goodly portion of a finger cut off which old Doctor Murphy had to stitch back on!Â Â So Father took no chances.Â Â He was the shredder.Â Â Every one ofÂ us had a job to do when it came to sau-

erkraut night.Â Â All decked out in long white aprons, (Father thought Mother was taking this cleanliness a bit too far, but he wore one anyway to stop an argument which he was sure to lose), and with our hands scrubbed red, we were ready to begin. Emerson and Everett were in charge of bringing in the heavy bushel baskets of cabbage heads.Â Â Earl took the heads out, one at a time, and handed them to Audrey and me sitting at one end of the table.Â Â Our job was to peel off the outer leaves, and toss them into one of the empty baskets (they would be fed to the pigs).Â Â Mother cored the heads and handed them, one after another to Father at the shredder. One head at a time was placed in the board with a groove and blade in it, and Father shoved the cabbage back and forth over the blade, filling the cavity underneath.Â Â Once it was full, Father dumped the shredded cabbage into the big barrel beside him. Every so often, the entire operation would stop, and Mother would take the wood plunger we used to whip cream into butter, and pound down the cabbage in the barrel, take a cup of coarse salt from the bag and toss it over the shredded cabbage. I loved the smell of the cabbage, which I was sure started to ferment as soon as it hit the barrel, but of course, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.Â Â It would have to sit for weeks before we could truly call it sauerkraut! By the time the last bit of cabbage had been shredded and pounded down into the barrel, it was ready for Father to put the round disc of well scrubbed wood on top of it all.Â Â A large stone, so big only Father and Everett or Emerson could lift it, had been sitting in the dish pan filled with clean water from the pump.Â Â It too, had been scrubbed clean, and I loved to hear Father tell how it was the very same stone used by his Father when he was a young boy.Â Â The very same stone used to

press down the shredded cabbage years and years ago.Â Â I would look at the stone, and marvel at the mystery of it all.Â Â It always amazed me how we seemed to have the exact amount of cabbage to fill the barrel.Â Â It would take the strength ofÂ Father and the three boys to carefully roll the filled barrel out to the summer kitchen, where it would again be covered with a clean sheet and then a quilt.Â Â Days and sometimes weeks would pass before we could use the sauerkraut.Â Â And often it would be frozen solid in the barrel, and had to be chipped with a special tool made just for that purpose. As Fall stretched into winter, out in the summer kitchen was a barrel that would augment our meals, and we would enjoy the fruits of a true family evening...and savour the wonderful German dishes Father so often

Hathaway, De Niro shine in funny, touching film By Mark Haskins

Films like The Intern are like good comfort food. They’re soft and warm. They’re great to share with someone, and in the end they leave you with that good warm feeling. Ben (Robert De Niro) is a 70-year-old widower. He’s a retiree that has run out of things to do. He wants and he needs something meaningful to keep him busy. Then one day he sees a flier for an internet company looking for senior interns. Apparently it’s the latest thing. Why have a young intern who doesn’t know anything when you can get a senior with a wealth of life experience? Actually that makes a lot of sense. Ben sends in his video application. He aces the interview, and he gets hired. Ben impresses everyone so much he ends up working directly with the boss. Jules (Anne Hathaway) started the company, and is very hands-on. She looks after everything, but she’s so busy she’s having trouble staying on top of it all. Currently her investors are wondering if she needs to hire a CEO to shoulder some of the load. That

would mean the new CEO would effectively be Jules’ boss. This is not an easy choice for Jules. Her marriage and family are suffering because of her work, but this is her company. No one can do what she does. Fortunately she has Ben. Ben, with his strength of character, and the wisdom that comes from a life lived, becomes the calm at the centre of Jules’ storm. He becomes her friend when she needs one the most. The Intern is a pure delight. This is a

are never a matter of life and death. This is a light film, and is even more enjoyable because of that. The Intern relies heavily on the charm of its cast. Rene Russo, Anders Holm, Zach Pearlman, Christina Scherer, and Adam Devine are a great supporting cast. They’re funny when they need to be, they’re serious when it matters, but most of all they make the two leads look good. Truthfully though this film is nothing without its two lead stars. If this film stared anyone other than Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro I’m not sure anyone would even know The Intern exists. It’s a fine film, but it’s the interaction between Hathaway and De Niro that is the real draw. They’re the kind of actors who can be in anything and make it shine, and together they’re brilliant. The Intern is a light, funny and touching film. The perfect thing to see on a dreary, cold fall day. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

MOVIE: The Intern STARRING: Anne Hathaway, Robert De Niro, Rene Russo, Anders Holm, Zach Pearlman, Christina Scherer, and Adam Devine DIRECTOR: Nancy Meyres RATING: PG quiet film about how old school charm and class has more than a few things to teach a younger generation. It’s beautifully written. It’s funny, and it’s emotional, but it very carefully paces itself. The humour keeps you smiling. The emotional scenes touch you deeply, but

Council digs deeper to install turtle fence along Princess Street News – The cost of installing turtle fencing along a busy Kingston road is much higher than expected. But the work will proceed. Council agreed to hire Peninsula Construction Inc. at a cost of $142,000 to install a low-rise chain link fence on Princess Street, from Parkway Street to John Counter Boulevard, near the Ambassador Hotel. The work is expected to be finished next year. The location was identified as having a high mortality rate for turtles trying to cross the four lane street to get to nesting grounds. The fence will prevent turtles from walking between the marshlands that border that section of Princess Street. Only two bids were submitted for the fence work. Even though Peninsula’s contract is the lowest bid, it will still require

the city to draw money from other projects to complete the work. City officials say their initial budget was not high enough. “The construction estimates were prepared in the absence of any past experience and historical costing for turtle protection projects of this nature in the Kingston area,” explained Mark Van Buren, the city’s director of engineering. His recommendation, approved by council Oct. 6, will see the city contribute a total of $85,600 toward the turtle fence, $55,000 more than expected. The rest of the budget will come from $30,600 in community fundraising and a $59,000 grant from the Ministry of Natural Resources species at risk stewardship fund. A study found 40 turtles were killed at the Princess Street crossing in 2013. Chain link fencing, with a lip on

top, will be installed three feet above ground and three feet below ground to prevent turtles from climbing or tunneling, but small enough to allow deer, raccoons and other wildlife to cross. Ecology and biology experts say road signs, flashing amber beacons or message boards indicating turtle

crossings are cheaper solutions, but installing low-rise barriers along busy roads that cut through marshlands are the most proven method of saving turtles from being run over by a car. Experts says seven of Ontario’s eight turtle species are considered ‘at risk’ and five of them are located

in Kingston, including the Musk and Northern Snapper. Other routes identified as turtle danger zones include Bath Road (at Armstrong) and Highway 2 near Westbrook. Roadside turtle protection measures along these routes may be considered by council for safety barriers at a future date.
