YGK plans big expansion to land new carrier, attract more passengers By Bill Hutchins Reporter
Kingston Frontenacs Action Pg. 38
Kingston Heritage – If city councillors are concerned about the rising cost to expand Kingston’s Norman Rogers Airport, they’re not saying much about it. A new information report that pegs the airport expansion at $16 million was presented to the Nov. 5 council meeting with no political discussion at all. The revised cost estimate is almost $3 million more than what coun-
cillors were told last March. City officials say the soaring price tag is based on a more detailed review of costs to lengthen the airport’s main runway and expand the passenger terminal. “The Class C cost estimate is intended to provide a realistic allocation of construction costs and project costs,” said the information report prepared by commissioner Denis Leger, who oversees municipal transportation. Officials are quick to point out the

from the final bill, namely; $176,000 for terminal windows, $133,000 for a new boiler and $246,000 for electrical upgrades. The city-owned airport is under pressure to keep up with changes to the airline industry. Several carriers, including Air Canada, are moving to larger planes such as the B737 to carry more passengers on fewer flights. Kingston’s existing runway isn’t long enough to accommodate the Continued on page 6

earlier $13.2 million estimate was based on a Class D estimate that did not get into many specifics of the much-touted project. The cost increased when consultants did a closer construction analysis which includes engineering and building permit fees and $1.3 million in contingencies. The report now projects $9 million to add 1,000 feet to the 5,000 foot runway, and $7 million for the terminal expansion and reconfiguration. However, the report notes some non-essential costs can be removed

Kingston Heritage - It wasn’t the solution they were hoping for. But city councillors did promise businesses owners along midtown Kingston’s Princess Street to examine their concerns about lost parking spaces. The business community is fighting the removal of 65 on-street parking spaces along a 1.7 kilometre section of Princess Street, between Bath Road and Division Street. “Taking all 65 spots from Princess Street will destroy the potential for businesses to flourish,” warned Ida-Mae Lowes, co-owner of the Star Diner. “There’s a grassroots momentum on this and it needs to be addressed,” added Jeff de Ruiter with Pam’s Flower shop. Both speakers addressed councillors November 5 to voice frustration over the road reconstruction that will eventually see half of Princess Street’s parking spaces replaced with dedicated cycling lanes. They also came armed with a petition bearing nearly 3,300 signatures – the largest municipal petition in recent memory – urging council to save the street parking for their customers. “Council is supporting a small minority and not the business majority,” Lowes complained about the cycling versus parking debate. In a bid to appease their concerns, council voted 13-0 to support a motion to “work closely with all stakeholders” in the Williamsville district redevelopment in order to “mitigate the concerns resulting from the loss of on-street parking.” Coun. Brian Reitzel, who introduced the motion, says the needs of the midtown business community cannot be ignored. “It’s a motion that I hope will drive solutions.” The motion, however, does not change the city’s plan to add dedicated cycling lanes to both sides of Princess Street at the expense of street parking. The roadway is not wide enough to accommodate both. District councillor Jim Neill says the motion reflects what city transportation staff have already prom-
ised to do. He says future discus- Gerretsen, who supported bike sions could lead to more off-street lanes during last summer’s vote, parking or leased spaces off the is hoping a compromise can be found.

Community group envisions bold new use for Kingston Pen By Bill Hutchins Reporter
News – On a brisk fall day, George Hood stands on a dock of Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and gazes over to the looming structure next door. “And we said ‘What the hell is going to happen to the Kingston Penitentiary?’ And one thing led to another,” he recalled of a driveway discussion that he and a friend had in the summer of the 2012. Hood, a former Queen’s University vice principal, took the driveway talk to a bold new level. He’s unveiled big plans to transform the
mothballed Kingston Penitentiary into a year-round attraction with about 500 condominiums, bars, restaurants, retail shops, museum and the centrepiece, the establishment of an International Centre of Excellence for Sailing. “I wouldn’t call it an uphill battle. I would say, you know, we are going to make our case. We think we have a great case to make.” Hood and a small but dedicated team want to pursue Kingston Pen’s purchase and redevelopment with the zeal of an inmate going over the wall. But in their vision, the towering walls are gone, the National Historic Site buildings are preserved

a natural fit given its proximity to Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, Lake Ontario and the existing prison administration and gym facilities. “It’s so close. There are buildings that are almost made for what we want to do right there, right now.” Hood estimates the cost to purchase the 8 hectare prison property is about $20 million, plus at least another $100 million to redevelop the site. He believes it can be done without seeking a dime from the public purse. He says raising the financing from the private sector shouldn’t be a problem since KP stands on prime waterfront property. “Is that a number that scares me? Not in the least. I think we can go and raise that money.” Hood stresses the development concept would benefit more than just the sailing community. He says the hook that he’s been pitching to federal officials involves mixed residential, commercial and public
uses that would benefit the entire local economy. “It’s not just sailing. It’s about the economy. It’s about jobs. It’s about the future of this community,” he said, describing his role as a lobbyist and community developer. The group has garnered tentative support from Senator Hugh Segal and Kingston mayor Mark Gerretsen, and plans to ramp up its prison development efforts this fall by meeting with eastern Ontario MP’s and finance minister Jim Flaherty. Hood observed: “No one to date has said no, which is an interesting thing. No one has said no. We’ve had a lot of people say ‘yes’ or have said ‘I’m interested.’” The group does not expect to hear a decision on the redevelopment plan anytime soon. The federal government appears in no hurry to dispose of the mothballed prison which is currently the focus of a second round of public tours hosted by Habitat for Humanity. However, Hood says they want to start laying the groundwork now to give federal officials something to ponder while the once-maximum security prison is decommissioned, a process that’s expected to take two or three years. The last inmate was transferred out of the 178-year-old Kingston Pen on Sept. 30.

and renovated into mixed uses, and the once notorious prison is transformed into a place that would rival Toronto’s Distillery District. The community group behind the scheme, which includes avid sailors Michael de la Roche, George Jackson and John Curtis, has already held preliminary meetings with federal officials to pitch the prison transformation project. “The world comes here to sail already,” said Jackson, who pointed to Kingston’s long established reputation as the fresh water sailing capital of the world.

Future developments at stake if Princess St. work delayed, Utilities boss warns By Bill Hutchins Reporter
News – While much of the public and political debate over how to share the road on midtown’s Princess Street has focused on parking and bicycle lanes, city officials say most of the vital improvements will actually occur underground. The area’s water and sewer lines have reached capacity and no new development can occur until the pipes are replaced and expanded. “The main driver is (replacing and separating) the combined storm and
sanitary sewer. It does not have capacity for development,” said Jim Keech, president of Utilities Kingston. The 1.7 kilometre section of Williamsville Main Street district, between Bath Road and Division Street, is currently the focus of a revitalization strategy. Among the major developments already under way; a 500-bed apartment building at Princess and Alfred streets geared to post-secondary students. The developer is aiming for a September 2014 tenant occupancy date, but that won’t happen unless the infrastructure upgrades are in place first.
“It’s vitally important,” Keech explained. District councillor Jim Neill agrees that any delays based on the bike lanes vs. on-street parking debate could jeopardize ongoing developments and new tax revenues. “How much is it really going to cost the city if we ask staff to go back to the drawing board on this?” he asked council Nov. 5. Williamsville is touted as having Kingston’s greatest potential for generating tax dollars through residential and commercial development. Council’s approval of the Williamsville Main Street study over a year ago triggered the need for fast-track infrastructure upgrades. While area business owners do not object to pressing work
needed beneath the surface, they do take issue with the proposed streetlevel improvements. There is pressure from the area’s business community to preserve more than 60 on-street parking phases in the upcoming road construction, even though it would mean redoing the road designs and delaying the midtown’s version of the ‘big dig.’ City council decided last August to install dedicated bike lanes on that stretch of Princess Street at the expense of dozens of on-street parking spaces because sections of the busy street are not wide enough to accommodate both. Keech says the city is now seeking competitive bids for the underground and surface work with a closing date of Nov. 25. The city expects to award the multi-million dollar contract by the end of this year. However, he has repeatedly warned council that any delay in the construction timetable could jeop-

ardize the student building and other new developments along the Princess Street corridor. “If council said they would rather have parking as opposed to bike lanes then we would have to stop the process and do a re-design.” It would also “cost a fortune” to change the focus of the street improvements once the digging begins, Keech explained. He suggested councillors can still alter the street design but it would delay the construction by several months. Instead of starting the work in February of 2014, as is currently planned, it would be delayed until later in the spring. The student apartments would be the first casualty because the underground upgrades wouldn’t be finished by next September. The sprawling low-rise complex, which almost encompasses an entire city block, includes room for a courtyard and swimming pool.

cline at a rate of 1% per year, YGK will only achieve approximately 63,000 passenger trips by 2016,” the report predicted. This runs contrary to earlier transportation studies that projected Kingston’s airport growth would rise to 90,000 passenger trips (flight arrivals and departures) in 2016. Despite declining trips, Kingston appears in no rush to invest the $16 million. Airport expansion is not a high priority of the current council, and supporting government grants are not on the horizon. The latest timeline to begin the airport expansion in the city’s current capital budget is between 2016 and 2020. Snow says with the detailed cost estimates and business case studies now complete all that’s needed is for council to approve them. “We are shovel ready on this project.” Councillors are expected to discuss the airport construction timeline at their upcoming 2014 budget talks.

Pewter ornaments reaches century mark By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Events – It’s time to get the decorations out and maybe even set up the tree. That also means it is time for the Downtown Kingston B.I.A pewter ornaments. For years, local and historic businesses, monuments and even boats have been recognized in ornament form. This year, five more iconic Kingston sites will be recognized with the first launching on Nov. 18, but this year also marks a milestone for the collectibles. “This year is the 20th anniversary, so the fifth ornament we produce this year is actually the 100th ornament that we have done, which is very exciting for us,” said Jan MacDonald, Projects Manager and Marketing for Downtown Kingston B.I.A. Locations and monuments are chosen through a few methods and every year five new historic sites are chosen. Repeats are not allowed, but sometimes those giving the suggestions forget this rule and other times they come up with brilliant ideas. “We ask for input from the public. We put a call out on our website and Facebook page for people to submit their ideas and suggestions. What we find is that even though we put up a list of what has been done already, people are so anxious to have certain buildings redone and we get a lot of requests for ornaments that we did in the past already,” MacDonald said. “Quite often we also get submissions for things that we may not have thought of. For example, this year we had a bunch of people write in saying that they noticed we are doing statues and buildings and boats so what about the Island Queen? It is a favorite for a lot of Kingston families so we added it.” MacDonald also does some research and tries to make sure that certain components are looked after each year. Selections are made in terms of having an educational site like Queen’s or RMC or a school represented and often times a church is also included.
“There are some beautiful churches in Kingston, but unfortunately we are getting to the end of the churches now,” MacDonald explained. “We also look at the constituency that the place we pick has, so for example, this year we have Morrison’s as one of the ornaments. People who went to Queen’s or have lived in Kingston for a long time or have family members in Kingston they all love Morrison’s. So that was a great choice for us because I think there are many people who would be interested in having that ornament…they love Morrison’s so much.” The challenge now is finding places that they haven’t done before. There are plenty of places in Kingston to choose from, but now the most obvious choices are gone. The ornaments seem to have more and more success each year and many people collect them as a set. It amazes MacDonald how many calls the BIA gets each year looking for the new ornaments. “There are people that call every year, sometimes from other cities, calling to get the ornaments for the year. Often times they have family members that they give them to. It is a tradition that they started. We also have people who have collected them and kept them in their original packaging and never put them on a tree. They feel like they are something worth collecting and keeping in their original state.” The collection goes on sale starting Nov. 18 with the Renaissance Event Centre as the first ornament, Morrison’s, the University Club, Tara Natural Foods, and The Island Queen lll follow in the weeks after. The ornaments are limited edition and a limited quantity is produced. Kingstonians are encouraged to buy them as soon as they are released. The ornaments are only $8 with proof of $25 in receipts from downtown Kingston and are available at the Rogers K-Rock Centre, Kingston Community Credit Union, Wellington Foreign Exchange and the Grand Theatre.

In Our Opinion
Christmas already? Mandy Marciniak Reporter mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Lifestyle – It seems to me that Christmas is coming earlier and earlier each year. Maybe I am just noticing it more, but I am pretty sure that Christmas didn’t always start immediately following Halloween, at least not outside of my parent’s house. My family is a little crazy when it comes to Christmas. My mother, for as long as I can remember, has been obsessed with all things Christmas and because of this obsession she has 12 Christmas trees. That’s right, I said 12. She didn’t start out with 12, but over the years they seem to have multiplied. They are all individually themed too. She has a teacup tree in the kitchen, a traditional tree in our family room, a Betty Boop tree (which is her favourite), a New Year’s Eve-themed tree with black and white ornaments, and a Mardi Gras tree, just to name a few. They are all beautiful, but they
are also incredibly time consuming. She starts putting them together in October and doesn’t stop until Christmas. It has always seemed a little nutty to me, but then when I see all of the stores rapidly changing over to Christmas before the leaves even change colour, I wonder if maybe I’m getting it wrong. In September, I was in Costco and saw Christmas decorations. It was 25 degrees outside and there was a blow-up snowman in the middle of the store. It seemed a bit excessive. Now, there are signs posted everywhere for Santa Claus parades and believe it or not, some have already occurred. I know Santa loves this time of year, but maybe he’d like some extra time to relax before his big night? He has a lot of places to visit, but surely he can hold off a few more weeks. I love Christmas, don’t get me wrong, but seeing it come so early gives me a bit of anxiety. There is so much to do before Christmas. So many gifts to buy, so many decorations that I feel pressured to put up and so many gatherings to attend. It is exhausting. I thought Christmas was supposed to be a holiday? Doesn’t that mean it should be re-
laxing? The only time I find relaxing during the holiday season is the week between Christmas and New Year’s. Everyone seems to calm down a bit and there isn’t a rush to get everything done. I feel like I can breathe for the first time in two months. I think maybe the Americans have it right. I know they put out Christmas stuff early too, but they don’t seem to go crazy until after Thanksgiving. While their Thanksgiving is much later than ours, I still think it would be reasonable for us to hold off until at least mid to late November. Those who want to start shopping earlier can do so, but for the rest of us who just want to live life, without the emphasis on the fact that we haven’t even started shopping, can do that. Perhaps these are my own issues, but I can’t be the only one who feels this way. At this point in the year, I feel guilty for not shopping yet. Maybe I should start? Maybe that is the key to holiday relaxation – start early and finish early and then enjoy watching everyone else scramble. That is my new approach. I’ll let you know how it goes. Happy Shopping!
Letter to the editor
Operation Legacy Dear Editor, I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message. This year, The War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninety-five years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed The Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to The War Amputations of Canada when Second World War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me. In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure that the stories of war are preserved and its lessons never forgotten. Operation Legacy is a commitment to preserving our national military heritage, and by doing so, we
Kanata Kourier-Standard
Arnprior Chronicle-Guide
honour the men and women who have fought for us – even given their lives – to protect our rights and freedoms. And by passing on the stories of horror that these heroes have endured, it reminds us that war is something we never wish to face again. We remember that is better to choose peace over war and that standing up for what we believe in is what makes us Canadians. Champs in Operation Legacy wish to spread this message not only to the adults whose parents perhaps lived through war, or left a war-torn country to come to Canada, but also our youth, as they will be the ones who need to pass on the remembrance to the next generation so that we ensure that the legacy of our veterans is never forgotten. I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to learn more through The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which are available at a cost-recovery price at waramps.ca.

Forty years of public service
Heritage Editorial - With a public service career spanning five decades and three separate public offices, it’s safe to say that Kingston and the Islands MPP John Gerretsen, who announced his retirement in October, will go down in history as one of our region’s most respected elected representatives. A lawyer by trade (with a degree from Queen’s), Gerretsen was first elected to municipal council in 1973. He then went on to become Kingston’s longest serving mayor from 1980 to 1988, being elected on three separate occasions. In 1995 he was elected MPP for Kingston and the Islands, and was re-elected in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011. He takes his retirement having attained the position of top lawyer in the land: chief legal adviser to the Crown, the Attorney General. During his time as an elected official, Gerretsen has championed a number of worthy social causes such as community health, seniors’ issues and affordable housing. But if there’s one thing that his list of legislative accomplishments truly highlights, it is his passion for environmental issues. Many consider his greatest success to be leading the charge to have the 1.8 million acre green belt surrounding the Greater Toronto Area designated a protected area – a feat he accomplished in 2005. In 2009, Mr. Gerretsen served as president of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. The council developed a Canada-wide action plan for extended producer responsibility, a sustainable packaging strategy as well as a Canada-wide vision for water that included a water efficiency labeling system. During Gerretsen’s time as legislator he was also responsible for a law that bans the use and sale of cosmetic pesticides across the province of Ontario, and he drafted legislation protecting Lake Simcoe. He was instrumental in the introducing and implementing the Toxics Reduction Act, aimed at reducing the amount of toxins and carcinogens in the environment. More recently, Gerretsen guided the roll-out of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan, which featured historic investments in public transit and the phasing out of the Province’s coal-fired power stations. The plan also includes unprecedented cap and trade agreements, linking greenhouse gas reduction targets with those of our neighbours to the south. We believe that for each positive step that Kingston, the province and even the country takes towards its goal environmental sustainability, a debt of gratitude is owed to John Gerretsen, a true visionary for the movement.

Busy agenda at Islands council meeting By Margaret Knott Correspondent
EMC News – An early morning special meeting of Frontenac Islands council dealt with a number of important issues in very short order. The first very important order of business was to appoint once again an Interim CAO/ Clerk/Treasurer in the person of Gordon Burns. Burns, retired Clerk CAO at South Frontenac, came first to Frontenac Islands for an interim period of time following the retirement of former long-time Frontenac Islands CAO Terry O’Shea. (Burns is already on the job.). A second order of business was the passage of a bylaw to provide for the appointment of a councillor for Howe Island. As was recently reported long-time member of council from Howe Island Pat Norris resigned some weeks ago.
Since the time left before the next municipal elections is short, council determined at a regular meeting of council that rather than hold a by election to replace him it was suggested that interested Howe Islanders submit Written Expressions of Interest (including name, contact information and brief resume including why they feel they should be considered for this appointment) in person to the Clerk or designate at 50 Baseline Road, Howe Island, during regular business hours up to 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 2. Watch for formal published notice. Mayor Doyle commented that a number of citizens have already expressed an interest in serving out the Councillor term. (FYI The 2014 municipal elections in Ontario, will be held on October 27, 2014. Voters will elect mayors, councillors, school board trustees to a 4 year term of office. Candi-
date registration opens on January 6, 2014 and ends on September 8). Of interest to Wolfe Island residents will be resolutions passed with regard to the WI Arena Roof. At meetings held in September Paul Hogan, chair of the WI Community Centre Board, spoke of the tenders for the roof project. It was determined first that there would be negotiations with Custom Forming to find savings to the proposed cost of $73,650 for the concrete framework as recommended by project manager Patrick Thompson. Further, all five registered bidders for the arena’s structural steel roof were to be asked to resend their revised quotations (originally way over budget) based on a revised scope of work in order to bring the price down. The township was also to submit an application for a capital works grant for
the roof to Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation and submit a FIT (rooftop solar) Application. So at the November 1 Special meeting Council: 1. accepted the Sydenham Welding bid for the WI arena structural steel roof in the amount of $444,650.00 plus HST. (Possible completion around end of Feb.) 2. re-submitted the resolution regarding their support for the construction of FIT projects in the township. The purpose of the resolution is to enable participants in the FIT program to receive priority points only under this program. FIT Program encourages the construction of rooftop solar PV generation “Projects”. 3. Councillor Grant suggested representatives from oil companies meet to see what are best days/times for dangerous goods from their perspective. 4.The HI Baseline Road (unopened road allowance ) Survey was approved.

Season passes are available for $80. For more information about the hike or the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority visit: www.cataraquiregion.on.ca.
Lifestyle – For many families cooler weather and shorter days mean spending the evening indoors, but on Nov. 16 the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority encourages you to come out to the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation area in the evening, enjoy a full moon and experience the outdoors night life during their annual Creatures of the Night Hike event. “It’s just a really magical place to be at night,” says Stana Luxford-Oddie, Education Officer, Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority. “We only have a few night hikes throughout the year. We really encourage people to come out and take advantage, especially in November when a lot of people are more inclined to stay inside when it’s dark.” The hike will start at 6:30 p.m. and is family friendly and wheelchair accessible. Luxford-Oddie explains that in introduction for the hike, participants will have the opportunity to view taxidermy animals that they may encounter or hear during their hike. “They can touch some of them and get a real sense of what they’re like,” adds Luxford-Oddie. She says some of the animals that maybe seen or heard during the hike include coyotes, deer, owls and skunks. During the hike, participants will have the opportunity to stop and listen for the different animals and hike leaders will talk about the creatures out during the night. Hike leaders also have a game planned for the evening. Though this is the fifth annual Creatures of the ����������������� Night Hike, the ��� event has not lost ������������������� � its luster or popu� ����� � larity. “When we first started it, we only ���������������������������������� had one hike leader ��������������� ��������� and then realized ����������������������� �������� ��������� �������� ������� we really needed ���������������������������������� ���������� �������� �������� �������� two people here. �������������������� �������� �������� �������� ������� It is a very popu������������������������ ���������� �������� �������� �������� lar event,” says ��������������������������� �������� �������� �������� ������� Luxford-Oddie, ���������������������������������������� ���������� �������� �������� �������� noting that an aver��������������� �������� �������� �������� ������� age of 40 people at������������������������������� ���������� �������� �������� �������� tend the event each ������������������ �������� �������� �������� ������� year. �������������������������������� ���������� �������� �������� �������� The hike com������������ �������� �������� �������� ������� pliments the On���������������������������� ���������� �������� �������� �������� tario government’s ������������������������ �������� �������� �������� ������� Children’s Outdoor ������������������������������� ���������� �������� �������� �������� Charter, which was ��������������������������������� �������� �������� �������� ������� launched on Oct. ������������������ ���������� �������� �������� �������� 17.

Thousand Islands art show and sale welcomes a variety of new artists By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Events – Jewelry, stained glass, photography,
wood carvings, pottery and much more – that is what art enthusiasts can expect to see at this year’s Thousand Islands Art Show and Sale.
The show, which is held annually in Rockport, is welcoming 13 new artists to the mix this year bringing their total up to 25 local artisans
and artists. The show really does have something for everyone and is the perfect opportunity to start Christmas shopping. This year, Bonita Bell joins the show and hopes to showcase and sell some of her beautiful stained glass work. “I started doing stained glass after I retired,” said Bell. “I had studied art previously, but many years ago. I have been doing custom work now. I do a lot of Group of Seven stained glass pictures. I collect old windows and frames and I do stained glass mosaics and I haven’t seen any type of stained glass that is similar to mine. I think my work is rather original and I don’t use a pattern or anything. If someone shows me a picture I can do it in stained glass and I really love doing it.” Like Bell, each artist coming to the show has their own unique style and area of focus. Many use the show as a way to gain new clients and really show off their work. It also gives them an opportunity to mix and socialize with other artists. “I was attracted to the Thousand Islands Arts Show because I find that they are a very creative and diversified group. I love to be around other artists…I love seeing what they are doing and how they are creating. I find the shows very rewarding in that
way,” added Bell. Another artist who is new to the show this year is Robert Aucoin, who focuses on the lesser known iron art. “I work with stainless steel and metal. I make buckles, pendants, cuffs – more accessories than jewelry,” explained Aucoin, “I wouldn’t call what I do jewelry because the stainless steel is much different. I start with raw material which is usually a blank piece of stainless steel and I usually buy it in sheets. Then I cut them and work with them. I add the textures and the colours are all derived with heat, not a stain or a tint that I would put on. It is all heat treated to bring out the colour and the texture and the sheens are done that way too.” Aucoin has been working with different mediums of art for as long as he can remember. He does everything from portraits to furniture-making and just recently discovered his love for making these beautiful accessories. “Right now, my focus is to stay on the accessories. The demand and interest is increasing for these items so I want to keep producing them. I also want to increase the popularity of these items. Not many people pay attention to their belt buckle and maybe they should. It is an accessory that can be shown off as well and I think they look great. They are unique
and really make a statement, and they will look the same in 100 years as they do now.” For Aucoin, the interest in the festival is the types of people coming out and seeing his work. While he does sell his work online and has success with that, he’d really like to expand into new groups of consumers. “I’ve been working on more nautical themed pieces and I think this show is the perfect place to introduce this kind of new line of accessories. I’d really like to get more involved with sailing events and maybe some music and blues events as well.” Showcase For both Aucoin and Bell, the Thousand Islands Art Show is about showcasing what they love to do. Both enjoy the variety that comes with their work and they couldn’t be happier to show it off. “My favorite part of doing stained glass is that it is very relaxing and rewarding,” said Bell, “I like to think of myself as being rather artistic and I love finding new outlets and challenges for myself artistically. Every piece is different and everyday is different and I love that.” The Thousand Islands Art show and sale takes place in Rockport on Nov. 16 and 17. For more information visit www.tiarts.ca

Canadian rock trio coming to Kingston By Kelly Reid Reporter
Arts –On Nov. 28, Kitchener-based rock group Courage My Love will be making a visit to the Limestone City. The concert comes as part of their Becoming tour in honour of the band’s second album release. Their first album, For Now, came out in mid 2012. This is the band’s first major tour, which includes shows in the United States as well as throughout Canada. “We really love to go on tour and meet new fans,” says Mercedes Arn-Horn, who does vocals and guitar. “But it is kind of nervewracking because it’s a headlining tour.” Over the past year, the band has seen rapid success. Earlier this year, Courage My Love graced the cover of the July issue of Canadian Musician Magazine as “The New Breed of Canadian Recording Artist.” They were also named one of the Bands to Watch in 2012 by Alternative Press Magazine. All the while, the band was undergoing significant change, including taking on new bassist Brandon Lockwood. “Really the whole album has a theme about change and growing and maturing,” Mercedes says of what inspired Becoming, which was written during the tumultuous past year. “For our first album, everything was new to us. Becoming has a little more doubt, a little more hesitation. But it’s not all negative. I feel like the album is about how your journey is never
really over.” Mercedes composed the album with her twin sister, Phoenix Arn-Horn (drums and vocals). She believes that she and her sister help each other stay grounded. “We are best friends,” says Mercedes. “We can be a hundred per cent honest with each other. We’re both on the same page. I don’t feel as homesick because she’s there.” Mercedes says that she and her bandmates are looking forward to their Kingston show. “This is only our second time playing in Kingston,” she says. Earlier this year, they played The Mansion. They will play the same venue later this month. “It was really fun,” she goes on. “I can’t wait to go back. It’s such a nice city. Hopefully we have even more time to hang out.” As for what’s next for the band, Mercedes believes that they are still finding themselves. “I really don’t know what direction we’re going to go in. I can tell right now from the music we’re writing that we’re experimenting,” says Mercedes. Wherever the music takes them, though, Mercedes is going to enjoy the ride: “I feel like it should always blow my mind. I never want to get used to it. I always want it to be a surprise.” Courage My Love will play The Mansion on Nov. 28. To purchase tickets, please visit www.ilovecouragemylove.com.

impossible to do what we do,” said Singers. “The CD will be released on Nov. 13 and will be available at RBC locations, Cooke’s Fine Foods, and we are trying to piece together a few more. They are only $15 and that is a great price for 12 Christmas classics. It is a pretty fun little package that we’ve put together.” The CD will be promoted throughout the city in the coming weeks and Singers hopes that the 2,000 copies will sell out. There are also a limited number of copies of the 2010 CD available too for those who are interested. The food bank will also be having a CD release party of sorts on Nov. 22 to celebrate the project and Singers encourages people to come check it out. “We are playing at Zorba’s on Nov. 22. It is a Christmas Party that is hosted for smaller companies that don’t have a ton of staff. We book a place there and it generally sells out so that is becoming our kind of unofficial release party. We will be selling the CDs there and people can see us too.” For more information on the CD and how to support the Partners in Mission Food Bank visit www. kingstonfoodbank.net

$22,000 in sales on it and all of those proceeds went directly to us and our programs. This time around I reformed a band that I had been with nine years ago called Soul Survivors and we started playing together at the start of this past year and we thought we could do a Christmas CD.” The CD idea originally came about as something new and fun that could also raise funds. Thinking outside the box is something that Singers strives to do in his role at the food bank and he also had some fun in the process. “It is a great idea and it is different. In non-profit and fundraising, we are always looking for unique projects and trying to think of different ways to raise awareness about the cause. This seemed to be a natural fit for me, to kind of bring my two worlds together as one. It was a lot of fun to do, even though we were in shorts and t-shirts at the time. We started production in July so it was a little weird, but the deadline comes up so fast.” The money raised supports core funding for the food bank. It is used for a myriad of things like purchasing food, running the office, and keeping staff in place. “Without these funds it would be

Taste Kingston’s Olive Oil Company Lifestyle – “Olive oil shots?” my friend stared at me when I suggested we head downtown for a food demo by Le Chien Noir sous chef, Eric Brennan at the new Kingston Olive Oil Company, located at 62 Brock Street. We ducked in and were greeted by owners Shaun and Julia Finucane. The shelves are lined with a wide variety of premium olive oils and vinegars from around the world. It’s a great concept store; fresh olive oil is like nectar from the gods. The fresher the better, and its so fresh that the crush date is labeled on the bottles. They import seasonally from the harvest in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The olive oil is from olives grown and pressed by small-scale artisans and farmers. You will find oils from Spain, Italy, Australia and America, as well as other regions. I was introduced to the health benefits of cooking with olive oil years ago and have never looked back. It’s a well-documented fact that olive oil is one the most indispensible ingredients of a healthy diet. The anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants are essential properties. Perhaps the best benefit is that it’s rich in monounsaturated fatty acid, which is the healthiest type of fat. Olive oil has an expiration date, which is why it’s best to know when the crush date is. Sadly, many of us do not know how to tell rancid oil from fresh.
When you buy from the supermarket you do not know how long it’s been sitting or when it was first crushed. Best buy dates are usually two years, but when was it crushed? Smell the oil; it should have a fresh grass or spicy pepper smell. Taste it, does it have a soft subtle finish or a zippy peppery kick? It should be either. If its smells nutty or like crayons or worst tastes greasy, it’s rancid. Like a fine wine, once you open a bottle of olive oil it has a limited shelf life. That’s why it’s best to buy a smaller bottle than a large container unless you are using it often. The oil is affected by air and humidity. Store in a dark cool place. I know people who store it in the fridge; my thought is that it changes the consistency but others would argue that it doesn’t. But, no need to throw it out if it’s gone off, use it on squeaky doors or as candle oil. Olive oil is a mainstay for a variety of recipes, from pestos, drizzling in your salad, pasta and more. I was keen to see what Chef Eric had planned for the demo. It was a rainy Saturday; the guests were excited to learn a new skill from one of Kingston’s rock star chefs. A large group was settled into the back of the store. The green grass smell of olive oil poignant in the air, I began to drool as Chef Eric seared the fresh perch infused in olive oil. He used the organic Picual oil (available in store) in the tarter sauce. It’s tropical fruity oil with
a smooth beginning and a slightly bitter centre with a lingering pepper finish. I tried a little of the oil on its own in one of the tasting shot glasses available. My friend and I sipped at it and enjoyed the finish. It tastes lovely on its own and even better when the Chef serves the fish hot from the pan, with chips and the tasty tarter sauce infused with oil. The store is a welcome addition to Brock Street Common, steps from the Farmers’ Market. You will discover not only Shaun Finucane of Kingston Olive Oil Co. premium olive oils of all the different flavors. but aged balsamic Drop in on for the next cooking vinegar and gourmet salts. demonstration on Nov. 30 with AquaThe prices range from $18 - $21 for oils and vinegars and $12 for gourmet terra chef, Clark Day.

VISIONSoup returns to the Grace Centre By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Events – There are few things better than a bowl of warm soup on a cold day. If that soup came in a take-home bowl made by a local potter and the money spent on the soup went to a local charitable organization, that would be even better. This is exactly what the annual VISIONSoup fundraiser in Sydenham is all about. This year marks the eighth year for the fundraiser and organizers Leslie Reade and Josey Steele hope it will be the most successful one yet. The idea for the event came from a want to give back to the community and provide an interesting way to raise funds for both the Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation (SFCSC) and the Loughborough Christmas and Emergency Relief Committee (LCERC). “I got involved because I thought it was interesting,” explained organizer Josey Steele from King’s Town Chiropractic. “I knew that Martha’s Table did something similar in Kingston and we thought it could definitely be done with some success out here too. We went for it and here we are eight years later. We thought it was something we could do as good citizens of the community to give back.” Tickets for the fundraiser are $20 plus one non-perishable food item to donate at the door. After arriving, guests will be asked to pick a pottery bowl and then they can choose a soup. “We have about six different potters who have donated bowls to us this year. Tim De Rose donates every year and he has donated 100 bowls this year,” explained Leslie Reade of Sydenham Veterinary Services, “After you decide which bowl you want, you go and choose from about a dozen varieties of soup from a bunch of local restaurants. We try to keep it as local as possible. We have a soup donated from Pan Chan-
cho, Desert Lake Gardens, Martha’s in Verona and a few more that we are still trying to recruit. We also get a donation from the high school in Sydenham, they get their cooking class to make a soup for us each year which is really great.” The fundraiser has grown substantially over the years and has been in various locations in Sydenham but they are happy to call the Grace Centre their new home for the day. “We just want to see it grow more and more each year,” said Reade. “We now have the space at the Grace Centre to keep expanding and nobody has to wait outside. They have been so kind and helpful to us. We love the space.” The event is so successful that residents who attend actually buy extra tickets just for the bowls. “They want a set of four or eight for their home and so they buy the tickets to get them. It really is a super value for what you are getting. Bowls like this retail for a lot more in stores and with this bowl you get lunch,” explained Steele. Funds raised are then split between the two organizations. Last year Steele and Reade were able to give $1,700 to each organization. Any leftover soup is given to volunteers at the event or given to seniors programs. Absolutely nothing is wasted and the community benefits in multiple ways. “It is so great to be able to give back and see the community enjoy the event as well,” added Reade. “We have been really lucky with the success we’ve seen and it is great to be able to give. We split the money down the middle for the two organizations and I know that the money reaches the food bank and really helps people. It is also nice to see the money that is raised in the community staying in the community.”

Enchanté
Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world
Mark Bergin
Healthy lifestyle feeds artist’s creativity Stefan Duerst is an artist with an intimate connection to nature, life and healthful energy. He works with some of the world’s hardest materials creating objects of beauty. Born in Munich, Germany and trained as a blacksmith, Stefan came to Canada during a high school vacation. He’d always been fascinated with the country’s space and vastness. He saw much of the country on that first trip. He took a Greyhound bus from Toronto to Vancouver and he fell in love with the country. He decided he would one day return to live here. Back in Germany, in 1992 he entered a threeyear apprenticeship in his craft as a blacksmith and fabricating artist. “After that, I worked for two years as a journeyman to a master,” he said. “He hardly paid me, but he said I could use his shop and tools as much as I wanted. I was in my mid-20s and worked six to seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day for two years. I learned most of what I know there. Then I went back to master trade school.” In 2002, he came to Canada to live. He met his wife Tanya here. She teaches yoga and practises Thai yoga massage. They have two children: Savannah, 5, and Lance, 2. For several years, Stefan’s studio was located at NGB Studios on Cataraqui Street in Kingston. He works with a heavy steel alloy that he can weld and forge. It requires top physical conditioning to put in hours of work day in and day out. I first met Stefan in Kingston around 2004. He’s still in the lean, muscular shape he was almost ten years ago, but he said the work takes its toll, especially when he’s not getting optimum sleep. Now, in a secluded rural property half an hour north of Kingston he crafts metal sculptures of beauty. “Over the years I have established a daily spiritual practice including yoga, Qi Gong, meditation and forging,” he said. He’s certified as a Jivamukti Yoga teacher. “Several years ago, my wife introduced me to Jin Shin Do, a Japanese form of acupressure.” He’s now an active student of this bodymind healing technique. It’s all part of a healthy circle. As we walked around his secluded rural property, he described how they ended up in that location. “We came out here with our real estate agent in the winter a couple of years ago,” he said. “I thought it was too far out, not where we originally wanted to be. The snow was two feet deep as we walked back to the barn. We had Savannah and the baby with us. I thought, ‘this is stupid, forget it.’ But Tanya said, ‘This is it. This is the place,’ and we put an offer in and bought it. She just knew it was right.” Their home and the studio is located on 60 acres of beautiful rolling hills and forest. “There’s a beaver pond back there,” he said, waving his hand toward the woods. “I’ve cut trails through the forest. The kids are free out here. There’s so much for them to learn.” A sense of peace and contentment surrounds him. He’s building a sauna near the barn. “From the time I was six years old, I grew up going to the sauna with my parents,” he said. “At first, I’d just go in for a minute and then hang out by the pool while my parents were in the sauna. We did this every week. It’s a cultural thing. It’s so good for the body.” He’s already built a working studio with several anvils, forges and hundreds of tools. He plans on putting a gallery in the barn. Stefan said it’s important to have time for his children and to create art. He said that a healthy lifestyle is good for his family and his art. Becoming a father has helped him become more centered. It’s also resulted in a lack of sleep.

“Art and health go together,” he said. “I started to realize that my body was collapsing from the lack of sleep and stress. I couldn’t do this if it weren’t for a healthy lifestyle.” He altered his nutritional intake. He cut sugar from his diet. He drinks no alcohol. The family grows their own healthy food in the vegetable garden. “Since I made the changes, I have so much energy now.” I asked if he thought either of his children would follow in his artistic footsteps. “I don’t know if Savannah will become interested,” he said. “Lance comes in here and we’ve forged a scroll together. I put safety glasses and ear protection on him and he sits and just watches. He’s mesmerized. So he has his own little hammers now and loves to just hammer away. It never occurred to me that either of them would pick this up, but they can do whatever they want. If they want to do something like this, they’d sure be ahead of the game.” He doesn’t think about why he creates. “I have to do it,” he said. “I can’t help myself. In theory, I could come in here and spend the next year without any sleep creating stuff. I have sketch books going back ten years. Every day I go in the woods and I see something that I think would be really good in sculpture and I could make it right here. The art, I can’t help it; if I didn’t do it, I would go crazy. It’s quite an organic process. I’m fusing the organic and the minimalist abstract.” In addition to creating his own works, Stefan leads blacksmithing workshops in his studio. He’s set up with several anvils and furnaces for several people to work. He’ll be running more workshops in December, January and Februray. In the past he’s had a variety of participants. “I’ve had men and women, young and old,” he said. “There are some 18 year old kids who are already fascinated with it. It’s great to pass something on that people can use. It keeps it alive.” He explained that the summer is too hot for daylong blacksmithing workshops, but he’d like to combine a number of programs. He’s hoping to build a yoga center in the barn. Once the structures are complete, there’ll be a blacksmith studio (already built and functioning), a sauna (mostly built), a gallery, a yoga studio and walking trails as far as the eye can see. He’s creating a sculpture path. There would also be a treatment room for Jin Shin Do. “People could come out here and work a half day with the fire and then do yoga and acupressure, then enjoy the sun and go for a walk and hang out in the afternoon and work on grounding and meditating. Maybe there’d be another yoga class and a communal dinner. The next day we’d repeat that.” Stefan’s work is exhibited in galleries in Toronto, Ottawa and Bloomfield and Studio 22 in Kingston. He’s working on some large pieces for the spring re-opening of the outdoor gallery at Oeno Gallery in Prince Edward County. “I want to do something people haven’t seen before,” he said. “Otherwise, what’s the point.” In the long term, he’d like to see his work in galleries in California and New York City. “That’s where it’s really happening,” he said. But his creative and family sanctum sanctorum is the 60 acres of peace in rural Ontario. It’s his creative place of peace. For more information: www.duerst.ca.

Stephen Lewis stopped by the most recent Kingston Grandmother Connection fundraiser event on Nov. 2. Their next fundraising event is a concert featuring Motown band HEATWAVE at Zorba’s on Nov. 23.
HEATWAVE concert to benefit Kingston Grandmother Connection By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Events – Motown may not be as popular as it used to be, but for some, it is still considered the best dancing music around. “I am a 68-year-old woman who hasn’t really danced for the past 30 years and I’ve been going to these dances for the past three or four years and I am dancing again,” said Eleanor Beach, head of the Kingston Grandmother Connection. “It is just very infectious and very engaging…it makes everyone feel young and happy and it really is a great time.” Beach is speaking of local band HEATWAVE and their concerts over the past few years. The band plays charity events and their condition for playing an event is that they do it for free. “Four years ago, someone brought to my attention that it was the 50th anniversary of the founding of Motown,” said group founder Gord McDiarmid, “I have a lot of musical friends and I mentioned the anniversary to a few people and we started getting together and playing Motown songs. We did our very first fundraising dance for Martha’s Table four years ago and we became a band that only plays for free. We only play for charitable organizations and we do two dances a year. We just really want to help out the organizations. It is just an amazingly good, fun time and for a worthy cause.” This time around the band is playing for the Kingston Grandmother Connection (KGC), a group that has been fundraising for the past seven years in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation and Help Lesotho. “Both of these organizations focus on problems that have been created by the tremendous widespread disease of HIV/AIDS in Africa,” explained Beach, “We focus on helping the grandmothers
who often find themselves, in their 60s or 70s caring for their grandchildren. We try to help the Grandmothers who are not only mourning the loss of their own children, but are also trying to raise young grandchildren.” In the past seven years KGC has raised approximately $400,000 for these two organizations, helping buy school uniforms, stoves, gardening equipment and much more. “We hope to help and make a better future for the grandchildren and an easier and more viable present for them now. We want to focus on making the future brighter for the children, but we also want to make sure that the grandmothers are able to stay mentally, physically and emotionally healthy in order to care for these children,” said Beach. On Nov. 2 the KGC hosted an African market sale to raise funds and they were surprised by a visit from Stephen Lewis himself. “He was at Queen’s for a talk and he showed up which was so great to see. We do enjoy supporting his group and Help Lesotho, which is a smaller organization. We like planning events that are fun and the community can get involved with. The concert is another great event and we hope to see great success from it too,” added Beach. The concert takes place at Zorba’s on Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, at Tara Foods and Brian’s Record Option, or $25 at the door. “This is the 10th fundraiser dance that HEATWAVE has done. It is a tremendous amount of fun for us and that makes it a win for everyone,” added McDiarmid. “I would encourage people to come out because they are going to have a heck of a good time. They are going to hear a bunch of great songs, maybe from their youth or maybe for the first time. Everyone will be up and dancing, you really can’t sit still with this music. They will also be supporting an incredible project.”

Frontenacs goalie learns how to deal with the pressure of stopping the puck By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Heritage Sports – Like most OHL players, 18 year-old Lucas Peressini started playing hockey at a young age. He wasn’t a goalie from the start, but he is certainly happy with the position now. “I started playing when I was really young,” said Peressini, “I started as a player and then our goalie didn’t show up one game and I went in net and I did well so we went from there. I like the position. It is great when you make the big save for your team and you get to see the excitement that it generates from the crowd. Everyone is on their feet when you do that.” Growing up in Toronto, Peressini played for multiple GTA teams in the GTHL including the Mississauga Ice Dogs and Senators, the Vaughn Kings, the Marlies, and the Newmarket Hurricanes. Now, as part of the Kingston Frontenacs, Peressini feels the pressure that comes with moving up a level. “There is a lot of pressure on the goalie, but you get used to it as you get older. Now that I have moved up a level from last year, there are more fans paying attention to what I am doing and the saves I make. There is more pressure that comes with that, but as we play more and more games I am getting used to it and getting more comfortable.” Comfort is something that the team
has struggled with throughout the season and it is clear that they are more comfortable on home ice than on the road. “We started out on an eight-game winning streak this year and then we had a bit of trouble,” explained Peressini. “We were struggling for a bit but I think we are definitely getting back on track now. The traveling was getting to all of us and the away games were a little more difficult because of that.” Despite the struggles, Peressini loves playing with the Frontenacs and the level of competition that comes with playing against players at this level. “I really love playing at the highest level possible and playing against some of the best players around right now. Some of them get drafted into the NHL so it is really great to play with people on that level. It’s also really great to be able to test myself against the best kids in the world my age.” Peressini hopes that the NHL is in his future but knows that achieving that level of success comes with a lot of hard work and dedication. He faced some challenges moving up to the OHL level, but has learned to overcome them and adapt in order to move forward with his career. “The travelling was hard for me in the beginning. You need to prepare yourself for six or seven-hour trips on a bus. It was also hard getting used to
#40 – Lucas Peressini tending goal for the Frontenacs. the speed of the game. The shots are harder and it is much faster. It was a big adjustment for me in the beginning, but since we practice every day, I think I am used to it now. “ So what advice would Peressini

It’s time to introduce three-year college degrees, St. Lawrence president says President and CEO St. Lawrence College
Opinion – As the provincial government looks to tackle the skills mismatch and develop new strategies to help more young people find meaningful work, it will be important to do a better job promoting post-secondary programs with a career-specific focus. A key step would be to elevate higher education in Ontario to international standards by allowing colleges to start offering threeyear degree programs. The current situation in Ontario is unusual. In most of the world, graduates of three-year postsecondary programs earn degrees when they complete their studies, regardless of whether the programs are in liberal arts or applied studies. However, graduates of the three-year programs at Ontario’s
colleges can only earn diplomas. And it’s not clear why this restriction continues to exist. The three-year programs at Ontario’s colleges are as strong as the career-focused three-year programs in other jurisdictions. As well, many of Ontario’s three-year college programs already meet the province’s learning standards for baccalaureate education. Furthermore, colleges have proven experience delivering degree programs. At St. Lawrence College we already offer degree programs at the four-year level, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Business Administration, both in partnership with Laurentian University. We also offer a St. Lawrence College degree, the Bachelor of Applied Arts & Behavioural Psychology. A systemwide independent analysis of degree programs at colleges, that was done for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Uni-
versities, confirmed the programs are successful. The consultants said graduates had an 80 per cent employment rate and 84 per cent worked in an area related to their field of study. Students in the three-year college programs in Ontario deserve to earn the same credential as students in the same programs in other jurisdictions. This is an issue that goes beyond semantics. Increasing numbers of employers are seeking post-secondary graduates who hold degrees and have careerspecific skills. And many parents and students are interested in post-secondary programs that offer degrees. In some cases, graduates attain a degree and career-specific skills by completing combinations of both college and university education. In fact, reforms are needed to help more students pursue a mix of both college and university. But for qualified students who are primarily interested in applied programs, there should be more

When ugly rust spots appear on the painted surface of your vehicle, its private resale value is lowered. Rust can also cause structural damage to occur, compromising your vehicle’s safety in the event of collision. However, it is never too late to treat a new or used vehicle with Krown Rust Control. Over 240 dealer-owned Krown centres nationwide use a specially formulated, Environmentally Safe non-toxic product. Their annually certified technicians apply Krown’s penetrating spray formula to treat inaccessible areas such as spot welds, cracks and crevices. The Krown product displaces moisture and treats the metal with rust inhibitors to set up a barrier against corrosion. Krown also lubricates, and helps protect everything from wiring harnesses and computer chips to power door and window mechanisms. Krown Rust Control is endorsed by major auto industry groups including CAA and APA. Krown is also a distributor of paint polish and protection products, cleaning products, Salt Eliminator, plus Krown aerosol spray products for home use. Dallas Thompson is the dealer-owner at the Kingston Krown location, which has been operating for 27 years. Krown can be applied effectively in any weather condition, usually done in an hour or less.

Mary’s brothers always argued over hand-me-down box Lifestyle The station master had called that morning. It didn’t matter what Father had planned for the day, it would have to be put on hold. More important was going into Renfrew and bringing home the hand-me-down box that had arrived from Regina. When we got home from school, there it was, sitting in the middle of the kitchen …a big square wooden box that at one time had held bulk tea. It was lined with a kind of foil, and until it was opened after supper, there it would sit with its lid nailed shut. Of course, we didn’t lay a finger on it until after the kitchen had been ‘redded’ up, and our hands washed. I was never sure why we had to wash our hands before we could touch a dirty wood box that had come all the way from Regina on the train! Finally, we were ready. We sat around the box on kitchen chairs while Everett pride the lid off with a crow bar. There would be nothing in it but boys clothes, since Aunt

erson already has his gum rubbers off and cramming his stockinged feet into the shoes. He was getting red in the face, and it didn’t take a genius to see that the shoes were a good inch shorter than Emerson’s enormous feet, but he was going to own them and that’s all there was to it. Before there was any further discussion, he carried the shoes upstairs and put them under the bed he shared with Earl and dared anyone to lay a finger on them! He never once tried them on all week, but every night he brought them downstairs and rubbed them with an old piece of long ‘johns’ from the rag bag. “Ill be wearing those to church on Sunday,” he announced every night. Well, Sunday came, and after the morning chores, we all got dressed for church. Emerson came downstairs, walking like he had a bag of potatoes under his pants, but wearing the new shoes. Mother asked him why he was walking so funny, and he said he was breaking in the shoes. My sister Audrey said under her breath, “I thin the shoes are breaking in him!” He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled of the new shiny black shoes. He let out a sigh of relief and
then pulled off his socks. “What happened to your toes?” I asked him. They were as red as a beet and he had to use his fingers to unbend them. Everett was ready to claim the shoes when Emerson said he could buy them if he wanted, but he certainly wasn’t getting them for nothing! “They are my shoes, and they stay my shoes until you pay for them,” Emerson said, rubbing his toes trying to get the cramps out of them. Well, that’s when Mother entered the fray. She got up from the kitchen table, walked over to where Emerson and the new shiny black shoes were, grabbed them off the floor, and handed them to Everett. She never said a word. She didn’t have to. E v e r e t t slipped off his laced boots, and even with heavy grey work socks, he was able to slip his feet in easily. They fit
him like thy had been made for him. Emerson hardly spoke to Everett for three days. The hand-me-down box never arrived that there wasn’t an argument over who was to get what. Only when the brothers came to blows and were rolling around on the floor, clutching the piece of clothing the fight was over, would Mother call a halt. She could stand just so much of the carry-on, and then she would give each a slap on the side of the head, or a yank on an ear, while Father, sitting in his rocking chair, never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

Lizzie, the sender of the hand-medown box had only sons, and there was really nothing in the box to interest my sister Audrey and me. So often we chose to sit at the kitchen table looking through Eaton’s catalogue while my three brothers and Mother pawed through the big box of clothes. Father, of course, showed no interest at all. He was in his usual position in front of the Findlay Oval, half asleep in the rocking chair. But that night, Audrey and I joined the circle as piece after piece of boys’ clothes, and pants and jackets that had belonged to Uncle Jack, were taken out. Down in the very bottom was a pair of men’s shiny shoes. Well! Emerson grabbed them before anyone else had a chance and claimed them as his own. The brothers had a pair each of well worn laced boots kept for church, and bum rubbers which they wore to school Never had any of the three owned a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Everett thought because he was the oldest, they should belong to him. Emerson roared that he saw them first, and said there would be a ‘roary’ eyed fight if Everett tried to claim them. “They don’t look like they fit you,” Mother said.

Winterizing vehicles an important step for drivers As fall gradually gives way to winter, vehicle owners often sigh at the thought of driving in winter weather or spending weekday mornings clearing their vehicles of ice before heading to the office. But manning the wheel through another snowstorm or whittling away another night’s worth of ice from a car’s windshield are not the only rites of passage motorists must endure as cold weather returns. Winterizing a vehicle can improve vehicle performance during a time of year that, in many locales, can be especially harsh on automobiles. Low temperatures make for less than ideal conditions for engines to run, while potholes left behind by snow plows can damage a vehicle’s wheels and may even result in flat tires and a damaged suspension system. In addition, salt used to improve traction on roadways can cause rust. Short of moving to a locale with mild winters, there’s little drivers can do to protect their vehicles from harsh winter weather. But winterizing a vehicle can prevent some of the more common issues drivers may encounter when the temperatures dip below freezing. * Take time out for your tires. Winter weather can limit traction, putting the safety of drivers and their passengers in jeopardy. When possible, avoid driving in the snow, and steer clear of roads where ice and black ice are known to form. While such measures can greatly reduce your risk of being in an accident, you likely can’t avoid driving entirely come the winter. Drivers who want improved traction from their tires throughout the winter can purchase winter tires for their vehicles. Such tires can more effectively handle roads that are covered in snow and ice than all-season tires. Another way to improve traction during the winter months is to constantly monitor tire pressure, which decreases more rapidly when the weather is cold. Properly inflated tires provide better traction and protect against damage that may occur when driving over pot-
holes. * Consider a low-viscosity oil in the winter. The owner’s manual of your vehicle may recommend you use a lower viscosity motor oil to counter the dip in temperature that’s synonymous with winter. When the temperatures outside fall, the oil inside your vehicle thickens, and a thicker oil won’t circulate through the engine as well. This can cause engine problems because the engine won’t be adequately lubricated. A low-viscosity oil is naturally thinner, so it may improve lubrication throughout the winter. The vehicle owner’s manual should recommend oils based on climate. If not, talk to your mechanic about changing
Ferg’s Auto Sales
from the oil you use throughout the year to a low-viscosity alternative during the winter. * Inspect your vehicle before winter arrives. No one wants to be out on the road during the first snowstorm of the year only to discover certain components are not working properly. Belts and hoses, while durable, can be put through strenuous conditions during the winter months, so a close inspection of belts and hoses should be conducted in late fall. In addition, windshield wipers are especially important in winter, when snowfall can drastically impact visibility. You will want your wipers working at full capacity once the winter begins, so replace older
wipers (shelf life for standard wipers is typically one year) and use a de-icing windshield washer fluid to maximize visibility. Another component that must be inspected is your car’s battery. Many drivers have experienced a dead battery, which, in warm weather, is more of a nuisance than a health concern. In cold weather, a dead battery can threaten your health if you find yourself stranded in cold weather. Especially low temperatures can compromise a battery’s power by as much as 50 percent, so have your battery inspected in late fall and replace it if need be. * Don’t be caught off guard. Part of winterizing a vehicle is be-

Columnist offers advice on 4-wheeling and keeping distractions off the road Best regards, Vince
Brian Turner
Car Counsellor bjoeturner@hotmail.com
Lifestyle – “Dear Mr. Turner, I always enjoy reading your column and advice. I wonder if you would kindly provide some guidance regarding the use of four wheel drive vehicles. I am an owner of a new 2013 GMC Sierra pick-up equipped with electronic 4 wheel drive control. I am told, and I read, that the 4 wheel drive should not be used unless driving on gravel roads or uneven terrain. Others say there is no ill effect driving 4 wheels anytime no matter the road conditions. With winter approaching, any advice you can provide would be appreciated for driving in snow or wet road conditions then for dry summer road conditions. Would you also explain the effect, if any, using 4 wheel drive could have on the vehicle’s transfer case in certain road conditions and is there a need to exercise the 4 wheel drive train from time to time. Thank you so much, I look forward to your kind reply and advice.”
As far as the differing opinions you’re getting regarding fourwheel drive usage it boils down to: a little from column A and a little from column B. Most light duty trucks no longer have a solid front axle but a differential with flexible CV (constant velocity joint) style front axle shafts similar to those used on front-wheel drive autos. These reduce much of the driveline harshness that plagued traditional solid axle units. If you engage your truck in 4WD and then try to take a tight corner, you will feel some jerky resistance in the steering as the speed of the inside road wheel over-takes the speed of the driveshaft. This is what can damage 4WD components if done regularly over a period of time. But your truck should easily make wider turns in 4WD without a problem, no matter what type of surface it’s rolling on. Therefore it’s not a bad idea to ‘exercise’ the system once a month or so, on a portion of your regular commute without sharp turns. Keep in mind this does have a negative effect on fuel economy. A 10 or 15-minute drive should
suffice. If your 4WD system has a low range, I’d suggest trying that out monthly but only for a few yards at low speeds. I’ve included the relevant section (below) from your vehicle’s owner’s manual. “Driving on clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel Drive High or Four-Wheel Drive Low for an extended period of time may cause premature wear on the vehicle’s power-train. Do not drive on clean, dry pavement in FourWheel Drive High or Four-Wheel Drive Low for extended periods of time.” Distracted driving Ford of Canada recently commissioned a survey on distracted driving habits and the results aren’t promising. The poll was completed by Leger from Aug. 9-16 involving a total of 528 young drivers (16-19 years of age) and 528 parents who have a teen driver in their family. According to the results: • 93 per cent of teens and 97 per cent of parents admit to distracted driving even though they know it’s

More auto makers should be offering this safeguard.

Paws for a Cause assists Kingston initiative By Hiba Kesebi Reporter
Lifestyle – Your next pet-themed tattoo could benefit the Spay Neuter Kingston Initiative. That’s because on Nov. 16 Truth North Tattoo will be tattooing a selection of custom pet-themed tattoos for their Paws for a Cause fundraiser in support of SNKI. Wayne Murrill, True North Tattoo owner, says he hopes True North will be able to raise more than $2,000 for the organization. “I’m a strong supporter of the cause,” he explains. “I’ve done something similar at a shop in Ottawa for breast cancer research and we raised a lot of money. I hope we are able to do the same here.” Murrill, a tattoo artist for 20 years, says he was approached with the idea by client and SNKI Board of Director, Kendra PopleEaston. Pople-Easton came across the idea for the fundraiser while doing a Google search of other spay, neuter initiatives. She says she was immediately inspired.
“I thought what a great idea,” she recalls. “I got paw tattoos done at True North and decided to speak to Wayne about the idea, and he said absolutely.” Pople-Easton says the money raised will go towards having feral and stray cats spay, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and ear tipped. Once the cats have been treated by a vet they are released back to their colonies. “Releasing them is the hardest thing,” says Pople-Easton. “You just hate to have to do it, but there’s not always the opportunity to find them homes.” The registered charity also runs an adoption program, where socialized and healthy cats and kittens are available for adoption. The adoption program does wonders, explains Pople-Easton. It even saved one kitten’s life. Pople-Easton says the organization found a kitten infected with Felin Aids [FIV], which they thought they had to put down because though cats can’t pass the virus on to humans, they can pass it on to other cats.
But the fate of this kitten took a turn for the better when someone offered to adopt him. “A lady took him in. She didn’t have or want another cat in the house and we are able to save him,” recalls Pople-Easton, who is also a colony caretaker. As a colony caretaker PopleEaston is in charge of trapping cats from her colony during scheduled vet visits as well as caring and feeding them on a daily basis. The registered charity is working with a few veterinarians in Kingston who offer them a discount but even with that, donations are not enough to cover all the costs. She hopes the upcoming fundraiser will raise money for the organization as well increase awareness and open the doors for more foster homes. The Paws for a Cause event will run Nov. 16 from 12 p.m. – 8 p.m., and is on first come first serve basis. To book an appointment in advance call: 613-507-TRUE. For more information visit: h t t p : / / w w w. s p a y n e u t e r k i n g stoninitiative.org
Kendra Pople-Easton cradles L’il Mac who was trapped from her colony. “He was neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and because of his loving personality - he has now gone to foster care. He will be up for adoption soon,” Kendra says.

Heritage Events – Climate change is an issue that is getting more and more attention. In the city of Kingston, Sustainable Kingston is leading the charge to raise awareness on this impending issue in the community. As part of this, Sustainable Kingston and the City of Kingston are hosting a speaker series with initial talks being held on Nov. 14 and 28. “Through some recent initiatives we are working with Sustainable Kingston to bring awareness about climate change to the community and make them aware of the climate change action plan,” said Daniel Shipp, Coordinator of Sustainable Initiatives for the City of Kingston. “We’ve had numerous speaker series in the past and we recently had a roundtable discussion where we had researchers do some presentations on climate change in Eastern Ontario with projections up to 2050.” The main goal of these presentations is to raise awareness and to allow people to hear information that they may not have access to otherwise. Past speakers were successful in doing this and Shipp hopes that this will continue. “They brought a new body of knowledge about climate change in Eastern Ontario,” explained Shipp. “It is very effective in terms of bringing awareness to the issue and presenting new information is always exciting and interesting. It really keeps the community’s attention. It is especially useful when it pertains to our region and the Great Lakes area. They also address what measures we need to be looking at and taking in order for prevention and integration into our municipal planning and overall community planning.”
This time around, speakers Pamela Blais and Tom Rand are sure to continue the ongoing growth of awareness in Kingston. Blais, on Nov. 14, will discuss community planning, while Rand will focus on innovation and energy on Nov. 28. “Both of the speakers are bringing new thoughts and new bodies of knowledge to the table and to the community. We also hope it will be a little provocative and will really encourage people to think about these issues and encourage them to maybe do things and look at things differently. We are trying to make them open their minds to climate change and really look at the issues realistically,” added Shipp. Events have been well attended in the past and Shipp hopes that the numbers will increase with the coming series. It is hard to gage how well Kingstonians are doing in terms of awareness surrounding climate change, added Shipp, but he hopes that these events will increase their knowledge base. “I think we are doing as well as we can be. I think Kingston is as aware as anywhere else. You really can’t read the paper now without seeing something related to climate change and extreme weather and the shifting patterns. I think people need to be more aware of how to address these issues and mitigate them and for that I think this is a useful opportunity for many. I hope the community responds well and it should be great.” Both events will be held at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, 53 Yonge St., in Kingston. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and event runs from 7 – 9 p.m. Those who are interested are asked to RSVP by email or phone to info@sustainablekingston. ca or 613.544.2075 ext. 3.
