Kingston hires integrity commissioner to probe conduct surrounding OMB case

Kingston Heritage – In an unprecedented move, the City of Kingston has hired an integrity commissioner to investigate the conduct of individuals who were involved in the recent Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing for the district boundary appeal. Veteran Toronto lawyer George Rust-D’Eye, known as the ‘dean’ of municipal law, will lead the probe that involves at least two people, identified only as a “person retained under contract by the municipality and a representative.” The taxpayer cost of hiring the independent investigator with 40 years’ experience has not been disclosed, but his usual rate is $400 an hour. Mayor Mark Gerretsen was purposely vague on the persons at the centre of the municipal investigation and the reasons behind it, explaining the matter is still considered a confidential ‘in camera’ issue. “This is an extremely serious matter. There’s no doubt about that,” he later told reporters. The need to bring in an integrity commissioner, the first time Kingston has done that, stems from a closeddoor meeting of council Dec. 3. It was revealed just prior to the meeting that the matter is linked to last October’s OMB appeal that examined council’s decision to exclude post-secondary students from the district population count – a case the city lost. Following an ‘in camera’ briefing from the city solicitor, council voted 8-4 in the public session to announce an inquiry will be held. Councillor Bill Glover removed himself from the inquiry vote because of “potential personal implications.” “We would not hire an integrity commissioner if it was not a matter the director of legal services did not think was imperative to take,” said Gerretsen, who added the solicitor will ensure everyone is treated fairly. Mayor Gerretsen admitted the need for an investigation came as no surprise to him, though he would not confirm whether any councillors are directly involved in it. “We will take any matter about questions about an individual’s integrity extremely seriously. That’s why the city solicitor brought it to our attention.” Under provincial law, municipalities have the power to hire an integrity commissioner to probe the code of conduct and any rules, procedures and policies governing the ethical behaviour of members of council. While the investigation apparently stems from actions and conduct that occurred during the OMB hearing, the mayor says it has nothing to do with trying to alter the Board’s ruling, which ordered the city to include college and university students in the revised district population counts.

KCHC continues Capital Campaign in support of new community facility By Hiba Kesebi Reporter

Heritage News - Kingston Community Health Centers recently launched its Capital Campaign project to raise $1.5 million for its new community facility on Weller Avenue. The 32,000 square foot facility is slated to open its doors in the spring of 2014, and will consolidate five of KCHC’s programs under one roof. It will bring together the Medical, Dental and Allied Health Services program, Better Beginnings for Kingston, Pathways to Education, Community Health Services and Immigrant Services. “Consolidating all the programs under one roof will reduce barriers for many of our clients, many of whom see two or more of our programs,” explains Sandy Sheahan, Project Manager, KCHC Capital Build Projects. Sheahan notes that, in many cases, clients need to use public transportation or have access to a car in order to travel from one centre to another. Established 25 years ago, KCHC currently has more than 10,000 registered clients and thousands of unregistered clients who turn to the centre for their health and social needs. Through its work, the organization hopes to bridge the city’s Princess Street divide. “Princess Street divides the city in the haves and have-nots,” says Hersh Sehdev, Executive Director, KCHC. “The majority of the people that experience poverty-related barriers and issues have lived in north Kingston.”

KCHC has already secured $5.5 million of its $7 million total budget for the facility. Though the Capital Campaign kicked off to a great start – with the project receiving a $300,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and $20,000 from B’nai Brith of Kingston in its first week of the launch – there is still a lot of fundraising to be done and the organization is turning to the Kingston community for help. “It’s an opportunity to invest in this community, right here in Kingston and you can see the result of your contribution. Every part of the community needs to be doing well, otherwise the whole community is not going to do well,” notes Sehdev. Sehdev says the organization impacts the lives of Kingstonians daily. “We had a young woman who was pregnant and she had just immigrated to Canada and didn’t have an OHIP number. So we saw her, even though she doesn’t have OHIP.” recalls Sehdev. “Because she was pregnant we referred her to our Better Beginning program, where she got full prenatal care, and because she could not speak English very well we linked her up with our Immigrant Services program, where she made new friends and received help with her settlement issues,” she adds. Sheahan explains that KCHC is not a charity, rather it’s a hand up. It provides people with opportunities and services that allow them feel a sense of belonging and ultimately help them get out of pov-

erty. “When people feel they have a sense of a community then that community becomes a place of centering for them. It’s fertile ground for them to grow in,” she says. To make a donation to KCHC’s Capital Campaign contact sandys@kchc.ca. To learn more about KCHC visit: www.KCHC.ca.

Capital Ideas: Kingston budget has big plans for roads, buildings & equipment By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Kingston’s 2014 property tax increase of 2.5 per cent got most of the attention during city council’s recent budget talks, but new spending on municipal roads, buildings and equipment also form an important part of the budget plan. The city has set aside $58 million to complete a variety of capital works next year. The list includes dozens of small and large projects to fix up roads and potholes, buy new fire trucks and replace outdated computers and other equipment. The road work includes digging up midtown’s Princess Street to install expanded water and sewer lines, while resurfacing the street between Bath Road and MacDonnell Street with controversial bike lanes in place of some parking spaces. “There will be major work on

that part of Princess Street for the next two years,” warned Jim Keech, the commissioner in charge of public works. Meanwhile, the third phase of the downtown’s so-called ‘big dig’ is not in the picture for 2014. “The earliest we’ll start that is 2016, but probably it’ll be 2017,” Keech said of digging up the Princess Street blocks between Bagot and Clergy streets. But the biggest chunk of capital money earmarked for 2014 will go towards the development of a $12.5 million community centre for the Rideau Heights neighbourhood. “It’s significant and probably long overdue. There’s very little community infrastructure in the north end, so we recognize that,” explained community services’ Lanie Hurdle. The project involves the construction of a new community centre that will be connected to

Rideau Heights Public School. The budget includes building a road through Shannon Park to address accessibility and nighttime safety concerns, and demolishing the aging Wally Elmer arena. “That building hasn’t been used in two or three years. And what we heard from the community is that they don’t need a rink there. They need a multi-purpose community centre.” It’s expected the development of a community hub with full-size gymnasium, community kitchen to provide cooking skills, youth space and meeting rooms will attract groups like the Boys & Girls Club and the Seniors Association to provide local programs. The city has also set aside $900,000 in each of the next five years to combat an insect invader. The capital dollars will be used to treat and save as many of Kingston’s 7,000 ash trees as possible, which are sus-

ceptible to an imminent threat posed by the Emerald Ash Borer – a pest that has decimated ash trees across southern Ontario. The annual budget talks also gave councillors a much broader glimpse into some big projects of the future. The 10-year capital forecast lists a staggering $800 million worth of long-term projects on the books. The list includes (with start and completion dates): -$110 million for the Cataraqui River third bridge crossing (20202023) -$63 million to complete John Counter Boulevard widening and CN Rail overpass (2015-2017) -$23 million for Wellington Street extension from Bay to Montreal Streets (2018-2019) -$16 million for airport runway and terminal expansion (20162019) -$14.5 million for public works maintenance garage on Division

The long-term capital budget gives councillors a look at where projects currently fit on the priority list, and the costs are staggered to help pay for them. As has been the practice for over a decade, one per cent from every tax increase is allocated for the capital budget – a strategy that has raised tens of millions of dollars.

mayor Rob Ford to try and regain some of the powers that were stripped from him by his own council. The mayor expects RustD’Eye will be coming to Kingston to question certain individuals, and that his recommendations will be made public. “Generally speaking, integrity commissioners investigate matters of integrity and then recommend measures that might or might not be taken by council.” The investigation may be the most serious internal matter of any Kingston council

since the early 2000s, when councillors under then-mayor Isabel Turner were required to take an OPP lie detector test to determine the source of leaked confidential information. Incidentally, Kingston is currently in the process of deciding whether a full-time integrity commissioner is needed to handle future issues surrounding the conduct of councillors. They decided to study the cost of hiring an independent person to monitor their own behaviour and to advise the elected group when the conduct rules have been broken. Coun. Dorothy

Hector, who introduced that motion last January, says there are merits to having an arm’s length watchdog to help council police itself. “At the moment there’s nowhere to go … if a councillor complains about another councillor.” However, the mayor says the appointment of the 69-year-old Rust-D’Eye to handle questionable conduct issues during the recent OMB case is separate from Hector’s motion. The Toronto-based lawyer began working on the Kingston file the day after council approved his hiring.

Graceland housing project strikes bad note with west end neighbours By Bill Hutchins Reporter

ever, the Graceland subdivision does seem to fit within existing municipal and provincial policies that support residential infill and urban intensification.

The housing proposal will be debated at a future planning committee meeting, but city council will have the final say on the housing project.

R0012444425

Kingston Heritage – Residents of a quiet west end street in Kingston are making some noise about what’s planned next door. A developer is seeking zoning bylaw approvals to construct 53 single-detached houses on a 5.5 hectare field that connects to Graceland Avenue and Forest Hill Drive. The green belt property currently provides a safety barrier and sound buffer between existing neighbourhoods and the main CN railway tracks that run parallel to Bath Road. Area residents say bulldozing the site would affect their property values, increase traffic and train noise and reduce their quality of life. “Being that this area has been undeveloped, it now contains a large quantity of mature beautiful trees and a wide range of wild animal life,� wrote Michelle and Joe Salamone of Forest Hill Drive East. Residents Shaun and Wendy Wight say they were led to believe the open space would not be developed when they bought property there in 1990. “When we purchased the lot we were told by the Bayhill Developers that there would never be any development behind us and this land was set aside for a future park.� Neighbours packed a recent public meeting at City Hall to voice objections over the housing project at 655 Graceland, a street named by the former Kingston Township in honour of Elvis Presley’s famous estate. They urged city planners to scale-back the number of 40-foot wide lots in the housing proposal, and they are getting support from a local councillor. “It’s over developed and squeezing too many

homes into that tiny piece of land,� said Coun. Lisa Osanic. She says a section of the development south of Forest Hill Drive East should be removed from the proposed subdivision, which would remove about 20 bungalows. Coun. Osanic is also concerned about the safety implications of building houses close to a steep embankment on the northwest side of Bayridge Drive and Bath Road that slopes down to the CN tracks. “Just try to reduce the density of that development. That’s all we’re asking for – behind Forest Hill East and the rail tracks.� According to a subdivision report prepared for the developer - a numbered company owned by Lou Vadala, Nick Romeo and Jim Colden - no houses will be built within 30 metres of the CN tracks where acoustic fencing will be installed. The subdivision will have an internal street connecting to Graceland and to both sides of Forest Hill Drive, but no gateway or entrance features, sidewalks or transit shelters are planned. The construction of smaller homes on smaller lots won’t detract from the area’s urban design features, the report concluded. “By virtue of its location the new construction is ‘tucked away’ from existing design and thereby settles into the existing development in a visually pleasing way,� according to the study done by Ainley Group. The city has requested neither a traffic impact study nor an environmental assessment of the subdivision lands. The city’s planning department is currently reviewing the rezoning application for increased density, but has not yet made a recommendation to the planning committee. How-

You exemplify for all of us what it means to make a difference in the world.” Jackson received a lengthy standing ovation after his head was buzzed. “Thank you everyone for your donations and for supporting me,” Jackson said during the assembly after having his haircut. “We have a pretty spectacular community here,” said Principal Peterson. “We have on a regular basis some students that step forward and do some extraordinary things.” Jackson was given the school’s Pride Award and well as some spirit items such as a water bottle after the assembly was over.

“It was never about money,” says Matt about what inspired the campaign. “But we did set a goal for $500, and we’re going to exceed it. I think we’re going to get $1,000.” Both Matt and Lisa received donations from their workplaces, and many of the kids at Loughborough Public School made donations as well. Now, the Sargeants’ youngest son, seven-year-old Harrison, is starting to grow his hair out as well and will perhaps decide to follow in his brother’s footsteps. After the assembly, Jackson was in high spirits.

“My head’s cold!” he laughed, and said he felt “weird!” When asked if he would ever grow his hair long again to raise more money, he said, “Maybe,” and then grinned, “Probably.” Loughborough Public School is still accepting donations on behalf of Jackson’s efforts.

Gazette News - Jackson Sargeant, a 10-year-old student at Loughborough Public School, had a very big day on Nov. 29. That day was the culmination of two years’ work growing his hair out in an effort to

raise donations for cancer research. Jackson decided to take on this effort after several of his family members underwent cancer treatment. All of the money that he raises is being donated to theKingston Cancer Society. Lisa Sargeant, Jackson’s mom, says that the hair will also be donated. “The hair is going to Angel Hair Society, [which donates hair to kids in need],” she says. “Jackson chose that himself.” Kim Harris of Eclipse Salon in Sydenham, who used a ponytail sectioning technique, performed the haircut. “We’re getting every centimeter,” she said. “It takes 10 peoples’ hair donations to make one wig, she explained. The hair cutting took place during an assembly for Anti-Bullying Day. When Jackson’s hair was long past his shoulders, he experienced some bullying himself and was sometimes called a girl, especially during sports. “He’s had to overcome that,” says Matt Sargeant, Jackson’s father. During the assembly though, Jackson received chants and applause throughout the entire cut. Principal Helen Peterson said to Jackson during the assembly, “We

In Our Opinion

Dying for a deal Mandy Marciniak Reporter mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Editorial - When did Black Friday become so ridiculous? It seems to me that over the past few years Black Friday has become more and more popular. I really don’t remember it being such a big deal, especially not here in Canada. When I was younger, Boxing Day was the big shopping day. Everyone went shopping after Christmas to get the best deals, and even then I never remember those outings including reports on deaths, shootings and shopping related injuries. Apparently, things started to get progressively worse in 2008. There is now a website called blackfridaydeathcount.com that tracks all of the infamous day’s injuries and deaths each year and the increase over the years is a little shocking. Luckily, there were no deaths caused by trampling this year; however, there was a teen killed in a car accident on the way home from an early morning shopping expedition. She crashed her car after falling asleep at the wheel. Also making news this year, a

man was shot carrying a TV home in Las Vegas; another man was pepper sprayed at a Wal-Mart and a police officer was dragged by a car after trying to stop a duo of shoplifters. These sound like scenes from action movies, but they are in fact real events. All of this craziness makes me wonder if the deals are even worth it? Is it really that essential to get a giant flat screen TV at half the price if you have to go through the hassle of fighting hundreds of people for it? It seems to me that there is a line that needs to be drawn and shoppers that are willing to go through all of this craziness need to reevaluate their priorities. I have a friend that goes to Michigan each year to visit his wife’s family for American Thanksgiving. They always go shopping on Black Friday, but they steer clear of the early morning sales and instead hit the malls around noon. This year, they went out on Thanksgiving Day to get some last minute groceries and they saw families camped out in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart. What a great way to spend the holiday. Is that really what it has come to? All of this insanity also makes me a little disgusted with consumerism in general. Holidays are supposed to

be about spending time with family and relaxing, not gearing up for the big sale the next day. Don’t get me wrong, I do love Boxing Day deals, but I would never jeopardize my own health and well being for a discounted item. Maybe this year we should all take the saying “season of giving” to heart. Instead of fighting through crowds for gifts and trying to find the best deal, we should all consider other gift options. Ones that, pardon the cliché, keep on giving. In the past I have given gifts like this to family members. Korey and I have donated to charities in others’ names and we have adopted endangered animals through the WWF for his sister. We were hesitant at first, but the first year Korey’s sister opened the gift she cried because she thought it was so thoughtful and nice. Most organizations, like the WWF, give a certificate and in their case they gave a stuffed version of the sponsored animal. There is still something for the recipient to open and in most cases the response is the same as them opening something they really wanted. While the gift may not be something shiny and new from the mall, it has just as much impact and most people truly appreciate the sentiment and that is what gift giving is truly about.

Letter to the editor

Volunteer Committee sales events Dear editor, The Volunteer Committee of the Kingston Symphony (VC-KSA) and the Kingston Symphony Association (KSA) have completed nearly a full year sharing the Kingston Symphony Warehouse on the former Alcan site. Eight sales events were held in the new location and they have been very successful, thanks to the people of Kingston. The Volunteer Committee sales events are fuelled by the dedication and hard work of many, many volunteers who log hundreds of hours. Each year, we continue to be astounded by the generosity of donors who part with an amazing array of well cared-for treasures, household items, clothing, books, records, audio equipment, sheet music, etc. These items stock the Nearly New & Vinyl Records Sales & the Annual Book Fair. Much goodwill is generated by the process of finding new homes for all those articles. This includes the sales remainders which are distributed to several other community nonprofit organizations. Other fund-raising events are the Music Lovers’ House Tour each May, Fall Harvest Festival in September, the Fashion Show in October, and a new venture, the All Things Christmas Sale. We are so very grateful for support across the community; the local media for providing print and broadcast notices and photos, and online bulletin boards; lo-

We are extremely grateful to our many volunteers, to our friends who helped run checkouts during the sale, to our families for being drafted under duress at times and neglected at others. A HUGE THANK YOU to each and every one of you. The Volunteer Committee donated $79,000 to the Kingston Symphony during the 2012-2013 season. Donations totalling $60,000 have already been given to the Kingston Symphony for the current fiscal year. We’re confident that the spring sales will help us match last year’s achievement. Another new event, What’s It Worth? Antiques Appraisals will be held in February. We are introducing a Spring Book Fair.

The delicate art of childcare legislation

Heritage Editorial - The heat is on for provincial authorities to better regulate unlicensed daycare in Ontario - this after the deaths of four toddlers in unlicensed care in 2013 alone, two of whom died in a home where as many as 35 children were “under care” at the time. The current allotment for unlicensed providers is five children, not including the providers’ own children. The Liberal government is now proposing to pass legislation that would increase the province’s ability to impose steep fines on such irresponsible providers without having to take them to court, as in the current system. However, in a bid to improve the ration of licensed versus unlicensed home daycares (currently pegged at about one to four) the proposed legislation would also increase the number of children allowed in licensed home daycares to six, while keeping the unlicensed headcount at five; but, it would also put an end the exemption of the unlicensed child care provider’s own children, making it much more difficult for them to take in additional children. The result would leave a great deal of parents in the lurch, without care, and with only financially precarious options remaining. While it certainly seems commendable to propose these changes in the name of child safety, proponents of these measures must realize that the money to fund the programming won’t come be coming from taxpayers – it will be coming from parents. It is true that they believe some savings will be achieved by having more children in licensed care, thereby creating “economies of scale” that will help some savings trickle down to parents. But they have no way of knowing exactly how much the savings will be, or even when they will occur. We believe there must be a better way to ensure safe, quality, affordable care in the Ontario. Québec’s $7-a-day daycare seems like it might have gone too far in the utopian direction, and persuasive arguments can be made that it is not an economically sustainable model. Nevertheless, there must be some way of tailoring daycare costs to a family’s net-income as determined by the their income tax filings, for both licensed and unlicensed alike, much in the same way that the goods and services tax credit or child tax benefit is apportioned. If desired, licensed daycare could be afforded a non-refundable tax credit that would help incentivize increased use of the program, without penalizing the hard-working caregivers of unlicensed daycares who would be left in a severely compromised position under the new legislation. It is true that the current system is in disrepair, but increasing the amount of regulations without offsetting subsidies will only serve to increase the cost of childcare for everyone, hitting Ontario families where it hurts the most. We need comprehensive childcare reform that takes the question of affordability seriously into account.

Discount retailer Walmart plans to build second store in central Kingston By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Attention Shoppers! Kingston could soon be getting a second Walmart store. Developers Abna Investments and DREAM are proposing to build a 215,000 square foot retail mall in the area of Division Street and Highway 401 on the site of the former Quarry Sportsplex. A 132,000 square foot Walmart store would anchor the big box-style development, along with four smaller commercial buildings that may include restaurants, banks and other specialty goods. The developers are seeking zoning bylaw and Official Plan amendments to allow a ‘regional commercial designation’ of the eight-hectare vacant site at 23 Soccer Lane. “The site is approximately 8 hectares in area and is currently vacant and was previously a quarry and contained a soccer dome,” according to a city planning report. The first public meeting on the proposed development took at the Dec. 5

planning committee, and will be discussed by the committee at a future date. The site is currently surrounded by homes and stores, including Kingslake Plaza to the north. The developer has submitted several studies to support its application including noise, parking and traffic impact, site servicing and a retail market analysis. The big box stores would be situated in a U-shape along the quarry wall with 900 parking spaces in the centre. The main entrance would be off Division Street with traffic signals and a road between existing Division Street restaurants into the new shopping centre. The application verifies long-standing rumours that Walmart is ready to expand its presence in Kingston by adding another store apart from its existing location on Midland Avenue. The Walmart proposal comes as two councillors push for an Official Plan review to expand commercial services in the city’s east end. Their motion was debated at the Dec. 3 council meeting. Coun. Jeff Scott says the Highway

15 corridor in Pittsburgh district lacks a full range of commercial services necessary to accommodate ongoing residential growth. “There is so little service on the east side of the (Cataraqui) river.” It’s estimated only three per cent of the city’s commercial sector is located in the east end district when the figure should be closer to 13 per cent based on the area’s population. P i t t s b u r g h ’s population is close to 20,000 residents The proposed location for the new Walmart. yet it doesn’t have a outlets, Coun. Scott explains. liquor store, beer store, hardware store, He describes the Rideau Centre clothing outlets or post office. One rea- mall on Gore Road as “profoundly son for that is that there’s not enough out of date” based on neighbourhood designated land to welcome more retail growth.

He welcomes the proposed Walmart store because, even though it is west of the river, it will provide residents of his rural Countryside district with closer shopping alternatives.

West end church raises money for revamping By Kelly Reid Reporter

Heritage News - Edith Rankin United Church in Kingston’s Collins Bay area has an exciting holiday season ahead. On Nov. 9, members of the congregation kicked off their long-anticipated fundraising campaign to make additions to the church. The congregation has a goal of raising $2.5 million and by end of November they had already surpassed $1 million. “I’m quite proud,” says church elder Christopher Sproule, who also chairs the advanced gifts phase of the project. He has been collaborating closely with Chuck Wilson of James D. Klote & Associates Inc., which is a consulting company for philanthropic causes. “It’s a transformation experience going through a capital campaign,” says Wilson. “It’s a blessing to see.” The church, which was originally erected in 1959, has not undergone any significant renovations since the sanctuary was rebuilt in the mid1980s. The church’s proposed renovations will include raising the parking lot so that the outside steps can be removed. “A lot of it is an accessibility project,” says Sproule. “It’s really

sad to see seniors stop coming because they can’t get up the steps.” Other measures will include a fully accessible washroom, a nursery in close proximity to the sanctuary and larger meeting spaces for community groups. “We’re building for ourselves but we’re also building for the programs we want to run,” explains Sproule. These include programs such as Senior Wellness Living Sessions, Spirit Sisters meetings and a youth Sunday school, all of which are open to the local community as well as the congregation families. “There’s a thousand people a week going through these doors,” says Sproule. During the initial phases of the campaign, Sproule says that the choice had to be made between revamping the sanctuary or expanding the program spaces. “We promised the congregation that we wouldn’t go into debt over this campaign. We decided since we couldn’t afford to do both, we’d focus on serving the community,” he goes on. “We had a congregation vote and it was overwhelmingly in favour of proceeding.” So far, all of the funds raised have been donated by congregation families after home visits made by church elders and other volunteers. “Going out and visiting the families, we see how important that is,”

Chuck Wilson, left, and Christopher Sproule are proud to be halfway to their fundraising goal.

says Sproule. “We’ve found families that fell through the cracks.” Sproule says that the excitement of the campaign and the buzz surrounding the church has led to 25

new families joining the church since September. “If anyone is looking for a church,” says Sproule, “We’re here, we’re strong, we’re vibrant, and we’re looking to make a

difference.” After three months of fundraising, the church’s renovations are slated to begin in mid or late 2014, with completion planned for 2015.

Local artist supports food bank with handmade Christmas ornaments By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - When Jacqueline Jamieson was growing up in Kingston’s north end, charity was always a top priority for her family, especially during the Christmas season. “My father was an alderman for many years, and he raised money all the time at Christmastime,” Jamieson explains. “As a kid, my parents would put together 12 baskets - long before you had baskets with the Salvation Army and places like that - and my brothers and I would drop them on doorsteps and run, because my parents didn’t want [the families] to feel bad about it.” Now, the ceramic artist and owner of Jac’s One of a Kind on Princess Street is continuing this

family tradition of giving by selling Christmas tree ornaments she designed and made herself in support of the Partners In Mission Food Bank. Jamieson explains that this is the first year for the initiative. “I hope to make this a yearly thing and make money for not just this food bank, but other food banks,” she says, noting that she was recently made aware of another local food bank at Queen’s University. Jamieson was moved to start the project by the ever-increasing need she has observed in Kingston over the last few years. “As sad as it sounds, there are working people that have to use the food bank, and I’m aware of that. There wasn’t a food bank that I remember as a kid, so what does that

ments, giving their pocketbook a little boost as winter arrives. In subsequent years, Jamieson hopes to further personalize the ornaments by incorporating some of her signature original designs, such as the “dysfunctional snowman”. “That way I can add my own spin and bring my own personal style to it,” she says. “Hopefully this is something that I can do every year for as long as I’m able. I hope to make it a charity drive that I do from now [until it is no longer necessary], but I highly doubt [that day will come anytime soon.]” You can find Jamieson’s ornaments at Jac’s One of a Kind, located at 342 Princess Street, as well as Cooke’s Fine Foods.

there. You can go into the liquor store and you’re asked for money there. These are all great charities, but when you give something, it’s nice to get something back, and I think that’s why the Christmas decorations seemed like a good idea.” She emphasizes that the funds will go to support the Partners In Mission Food Bank during January, February and March, the three months that are typically the toughest for the organization. “Christmas comes along and everyone gets excited about helping one another, and it’s sort of like a death,” she notes. Jamieson adds that she made a point of hiring a less fortunate community member to be her assistant when she made the orna-

Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference showcases knowledge and optimism surrounding Ontario’s largest business sector hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - Food processing is currently the largest business sector in Ontario, according to Jan Dines, business development officer at Kingston Economic Development Corporation (KEDCO). “They’ve surpassed manufacturing – we hear about plants closing and things,” Dines said. “So because food processing is providing that many jobs and that much investment and it’s growing, it’s one of the key sectors I’m focusing on.” Dines was one of the key organizers of the annual Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference, which was held in Kingston for the first time Dec. 2-3 at the Ambassador. In 2011 and 2012, the conference was held at the University of Guelph’s Kemptville campus. “We thought this year by moving it to Kingston it would be a little

bit more central for transportation,” Dines explained. “We wanted to appeal to a wider range of local food supporters, be it restaurants, producers or distributers, and we’ve seen a very good turnout.” The program included a local food mobile tour on Dec. 2. Local food-related businesses such as the Limestone Organic Creamery were featured, giving delegates the opportunity to explore food enterprises in the Kingston/Frontenac area. Dec. 3 featured a full day of information sharing and networking, including a talk by keynote speaker Jim Salma, founder and president of familyfarmed.org. “[Salma] is from the US, and they’re usually ahead of us in terms of growth just because [of their larger population],” said Dines. “So some of the examples he was able to give of the growth that they’ve experienced, and then some of the indicators that he sees here in Eastern Ontario, show

ton in being able to attract processers to this area…Any time I’m talking to processers, whether they be in Europe of Brazil, they want to know about the local food chain. What’s the supply like? So we need to be able to show them that we’ve got a great market.” Stutt, who also attended some of the other sessions at the conference, said that it was very motivating and encouraging to have the opportunity to see the industry from a broader perspective. “I think it’s great to draw provincial attention to the Kingston area, but it also provides an opportunity to get together and get a jump start to the coordination part of it all… It acts as a catalyst to get excited and get talking again just here in the immediate area. This is a growth industry. There’s innovation, startups, new ventures, excitement and some longer term traction with these themes and opportunities.”

said. “I don’t think it’s for every farm, but within this local food scene a lot of farms are really focused on engaging and connecting with their customers directly. This is a really affordable and easy way to do that - to share content of whatever sort, whether it’s straight promotion or just storytelling. It’s so easy to share and to engage and reach the public that way.” Dines said that she hoped talks like Stutt’s were informative and empowering for those in attendance, most of whom were themselves owners and operators of small food industry businesses in Ontario. Indeed, she noted that these kinds of businesses are the way of the future. “What we’ve seen is a shift away from the really large, really outdated buildings and processers into really niche processers that are on a smaller scale. So I really see a fit for Kings-

that we’re on the right mark. So we can take encouragement from the fact that there’s lots of growth to be had, there are ways of getting there and there are lots of tools and support out there to get to the next level.” Other speakers from all areas of the food industry such as chef Clark Day, Farm Girl Food’s Tamara and Peter Bolger the and Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation’s Anne Prichard, shared knowledge and information based on their own respective experiences. Local farmer Ian Stutt talked to the crowd about the use of social media marketing at his farm, Patchwork Gardens, highlighting a key way in which small food industry businesses can make a big impression on the local market. “We’re using different social media platforms to tell our story, to promote our product, to engage community members in these local food themes, specifically our farm,” Stutt

Turn your dream vacation into reality in 2013!

Planning the holiday meal Perhaps the most anticipated aspect of the holiday season is the lavish holiday meal. Many people look forward to the food just as much as they look forward to the festivities. This could be why the average person gains a pound or two from the period of Thanksgiving up until New Year's Day. Planning a holiday gathering and meal can be stressful for hosts or hostesses. There seems to be a lot of pressure placed on the person in charge. However, establishing a wonderful and stress-free meal is possible with a few easy-to-follow tips. * Create a meal concept. Holiday meals can be traditional or avant garde. There are many options from which to choose, but one thing to keep in mind is to select foods that go together. Those new to holiday hosting may want to stick with items that are well known and expected, such as turkey and trimmings. Those who want to experiment may want to introduce one or two new dishes into the mix. Food choices should be about what your guests will want to eat and not about which items will ensure a spectacle. * Keep preparation time in mind. Another thing to consider when planning the meal is the amount of time you have for food preparation and cooking. The holidays are a busy time of the year, and work and social engagements may continue up until the eleventh hour. Choose foods that can be prepared in advance and heated on the holi-

day if you're time-pressed. Or simply choose easy-to-make dishes that won't take much time. * Compile a shopping list. Once foods are selected, review all recipes and make a list of the ingredients you will need. This will serve as a shopping list to take to the store. Also see which items you have on hand in the pantry. Look at expiration dates and be sure that everything is top quality. If in doubt, add it to your shopping list. Make a list of things that can be bought in advance (paper products, coffee, linens, etc.) and other items that need to be checked off closer to the actual holiday. Cross off each item once it is purchased. * Create a timetable. Make a schedule or use a calendar to schedule when each component of the meal and other preparations will be made. This way you ensure you will stay on track and have everything done by the actual holiday. * Ask for help. If you find that time will be short, delegate some jobs to others. For example, if a grandmother or aunt is known for her prized potatoes or pies, ask her to make that item. Some hosts and hostesses turn the holiday meal into a pot luck where everyone is encouraged to bring one item and the host simply provides the main dish. This can cut down on the work involved and make others feel they've contributed to the sentimental holiday meal. * Go easy on yourself. While not everything will work out exactly as you expected, chances are little

glitches will not even be noticed by guests unless you point them out. And even if they are noticed, these are close friends and family who will not judge small mistakes. * Make time for socialization.

Too often holiday hosts and hostesses worry so much about impressing guests with lavish foods and festivities that they fail to enjoy the actual day with their guests. Leave time to sit and chat and, most importantly,

relax. The holidays are a time of enjoyment. Ensuring the meal can be as stress-free as possible will go a long way to helping hosts and hostesses enjoy the season as well.

Locally Roasted Christmas Make your spirits bright with our locally roasted organic Christmas coffee. A rich, medium-dark blend of organic shade grown, fair trade South American and East African beans. Perfect to pair with your holiday favourites, it's best when shared with friends and family.

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

Meeting street needs with respect witnessed on the street. And there was a difference in my life compared to many on the road. I always had a safe home to which I could return....after my parents finished freaking out about me just disappearing again. Later, I did my graduate research on the sex worker trade. My thesis was “A Feminist Analysis of Prostitution.” I learned quickly that even those we call whores are trying to make the most of their lives with the resources they have. When they had children, I rarely met a sex-trade worker who did not want to be the best parent she could. Are there bad parents among that lifestyle? Of course. But there are doctors, professors and lawyers who are horrible parents too. I mention these things because sometimes people judge those on the streets as “losers” or “ne’er-do-wells,” when actually they’re just people like me. We share humanity and it isn’t right when a fellow human goes to bed hungry. Or cold. Or neglected. There’s a caring group in the region called Kingston Street Mission, formerly Kingston Street Truck Mission. But they out-

grew the truck around the same time it stopped running well. The group, which was formed in 1998 by several churches, was able to negotiate a generous lease to rent space inside St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Princess and Clergy Streets. “The Mission runs on a volunteer basis,” says John MacIntyre, the group’s (volunteer) coordinator of services. “We have all kinds of donations that allow us to keep running. We work with several other groups.” The Street Mission is often the last stop for the disadvantaged. Their hours – 8 p.m. to midnight from October to the end of April – means they are open

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me.” Matthew 25:35. Heritage Lifestyle - Most of the world’s religions maintain a philosophy that includes caring for the less fortunate. The ethical atheist, agnostic or humanist holds similar views about the importance of sharing literal and symbolic wealth. Many of those who are on the streets are not there by choice, but by misfortune and less than opportune life circumstances. I’ve always felt at home on the streets. As a teen I was on the road a lot–restless Celtic genes. I ended up in some places that were far from ideal and certainly weren’t comfortable. On the other hand, by the time I was 18 I’d heard and learned slide guitar from some of the finest blues musicians on the streets of places like Joplin, Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee. But I’d also seen things I’d rather not have

well after other organizations have closed. Compared to the truck they’d been using, their space inside the church is huge. There’s a large social area, men’s and women’s washrooms, a galley kitchen, a room for sorting clothes and extra space for storage. There’s a space where the clients can play cards or board games. There’s a clothing display cabinet where folks can find winter clothing. They also offer a special Sunday meal program, coordinated by Debbie Revelle of Kingston Standard Church. Sometimes out of sight is out of mind. But there are many people on the streets. It’s not just a big city problem. There are homeless people and street survivors in every town and city in Continued on page 35

Is your child ready for a tablet? tablet for a child can consider these options. * The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is a tablet that comes with a selection of educational functions, games and e-books. The device allows parents to decide which apps can be accessed on the device and restrict use to certain periods of time. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids boasts a seven-inch screen and will run Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean. The front and rear facing cameras are considerably lower in quality than Samsung’s previous products, down to 3-megapixels and 1.3-megapixels, respectively. * The VTech InnoTab tailors apps to children in a compact device. The screen is just five inches in size, and the tablet comes packed with interactive e-books, learning games and other creative tools. It also has a modest price tag for a child’s first foray into the world of tablets. * The LeapFrog Leappad Ultra is a kid’s learning tablet designed for children between the ages of four and nine. It comes with a seven-inch screen, Wi-Fi with kidsafe Web access and the ability to connect to a library of more than 800 educator-approved apps, books and more. * The nabi is an Android tablet that is geared entirely toward kids. The nabi comes in several different incarnations (nabi Jr., nabi 2 and nabi XD) depending on the age of the child and the desired fea-

tures. In July of 2013, Fushu, Inc., creator of the nabi tablet, was received the “Best Tablet 2013: For Kids” award from Laptop magazine for its nabi 2 device. * The Amazon Kindle Fire is quickly becoming a go-to option for parents interested in acclimating their children to a tablet. Less than half of the price of its biggest competitor, the Kindle Fire still allows kids to access a bevy of features. Music, movies and Amazon’s ever-growing trove of e-books are just some of the features that make the Kindle Fire a popular choice. * Though small, the iPad mini has all of the features of a larger iPad but in a more kid-friendly size. Many parents prefer the iPad mini for their children because they have Apple products and appreciate being able to share with their kids apps and information among all of the devices. Determining if a child is ready for a tablet is a difficult decision for parents, who must assess how well the child handles responsibility, toys and electronics in the home. Adults may opt for a more durable, less expensive tablet as an introduction to tablets for children and then gravitate toward more “adult” options as their children prove they can be responAmherstview sible with the device.

Tablets are poised to grow more popular in the years to come, and many children are anxious to get their very own tablet. But many parents wonder if their kids are ready for a tablet and if such devices would make good gifts for their youngsters this holiday season. According to a 2012 report from Pew Research, 22 percent of American adults now own some type of tablet, while In-Stat research estimates 65 percent of Americans, or more than 200 million people, will have a smartphone and/or tablet by 2015. According to a Fall 2012 report by the Media Technology Monitor, an estimated 26 percent of the Canadian population has a tablet, more than twice the amount of tablet owners just a year earlier. As tablets become the device of choice, many different manufacturers have entered the tablet market, and children have begun to ask for tablets for holiday gifts, leaving parents wondering if their children are responsible enough to own a tablet that may cost several hundreds of dollars. Price-wary parents should realize that tablet prices vary greatly depending on the device. But a growing number of childfriendly tablets have entered the market, and such devices are designed to be more durable for children who have a tendency to drop and destroy things. Those on the fence about whether or not to purchase a

Maximize time spent on holiday shopping Distant friends may no longer need to feel obligated to buy presents for one another. Opting to do a “Secret Santa” or another grab-bag style gift exchange can reduce the number of gifts you need to buy, saving time along the way. Keep a spreadsheet of your shopping list stored on your computer or smartphone so it can be easily modified year-to-year. Create a shopping strategy Millions of shoppers flock to stores on Black Friday to take advantage of doorbuster deals, and some even get all of their holiday shopping finished on this one afternoon. Others prefer to divide and conquer over a few weeks. Decide how you would like to economize your shopping so you won’t be traveling from store to store wasting precious time. Organize your shopping list into certain categories. Then match up those categories according to the stores that cater to these items. For example, if your list mentions bedding for a new college student’s dorm room, curtains for an aunt and a set of beach towels for a friend who will be doing some post-holiday travel, group these purchases together and head to a bed-and-bath store. Such a plan in place can greatly cut down

The holiday season encompasses several weeks of frenetic activity, as men and women look to juggle abnormally busy social schedules with holiday shopping. While you might not be able to add hours to the day, there are certain measures anyone can take to make the hustle and bustle of the holiday season more efficient. Shopping swallows up a significant amount of time come the holiday season. According to the latest Consumer Reports Holiday Shopping Poll, the average person will spend 15 hours shopping for presents. Women tend to spend twice as long as men in stores and online, with women logging 20 hours of holiday shopping compared to the 10 hours the average male spends shopping for holiday gifts.

Places to explore and things to experience

The not-for-tourists New York Heritage Lifestyle - Any number of tourist guide books will get you to the standard sites and sights of New York City. Most of them are fun and worth exploring. But if you want to experience the city like a New Yorker, you’ll be walking a different path. It won’t mean straying far from the crowd. There are lots of exciting places around Manhattan - midtown, even - where tourists don’t seem to tread. For a real feel of New York, walk a couple of blocks west from Broadway/7th Ave. Tourists don’t tend to stray past 8th. Walk one more block over to 9th Ave and you’ll find yourself in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen. It encompasses an area from about West 34th Street to West 60th Street. The name Hell’s Kitchen has nothing to do with a cooking show and much to do with its rough-and-tumble workingclass Irish past. The legend of the name of the place dates back to its days as a notorious criminal enclave. Historians claim it was at one time one of the filthiest and most crime-ridden areas, rivaling even Five Points (made famous in the movie Gangs of New York). According to legend, which may well be true, a rookie cop once said to his partner, “This place is hell itself.” His partner replied, “Hell is a mild climate. This is Hell’s kitchen.” You don’t have to worry about gangs these days. But, fortunately, the area is far from gentrified. Today, it’s an area

that’s home to many up-and-coming and newly established actors and musicians. You’ll find everything from grocery shops to some of the city’s best (not most expensive, but best food) restaurants and pubs. It’s a community, so expect neighborhood shops: barber, dry cleaner, hardware, food markets, as well as a horde of great restaurants and boutiques. I’d call the area gritty saltof-the-earth, but not dodgy. Look for the flea markets on Saturdays. Further south is the Bohemian and artsy Greenwich Village. Not to worry, it’s not an overpriced sell-out like Toronto’s Yorkville. Greenwich is the real thing. Lots of Off-Broadway theatres, tattoo/piercing shops, psychic readers, gay bars next door to machismo sports bars, jazz and blues clubs. Looking for some obscure recording on vinyl? You’ll probably find it somewhere along Bleecker Street in the heart of the Village. Seeking a 1950s Telecaster guitar? Try Matt Umanov’s Guitars at 273 Bleecker. For a little bit of music history, drop into The Bitter End (also on Bleecker Street). Everyone from Simon and Garfunkel to Bob Dylan got their start there, and today it’s a place where you’ll hear the future of music. If an electric duo called SIRSY happens to be playing, settle in for some great tunes. On the edge of the Village, the world famous Blue Note Jazz Club at 131 West Third Street holds about 200 people, so there isn’t a bad seat,

Mark Bergin

although it’s not as relaxing as The Garage, the jazz club I mentioned last week. There are two sets per evening, and you’ll be rushed out after the first set. I’ve attended shows and sat about ten feet from Grammy winners like pioneer jazz bassist Ron Carter, guitarist Christian McBride, or singer/guitarist Madeleine Peyroux. There’s a table charge on top of your meal charge. Considering the quality performances, it’s a modest fee (from $15 to $45). But The Garage, a few blocks away, has no cover charge and you can sit at the bar and be a step away from some of the city’s finest jazz. The artists aren’t as famous as those at the Blue Note but the music is every bit as good. Another area, definitely dodgy, but fun in its own way, is Canal Street, which crosses through Chinatown and Little Italy. If you like bartering, Canal Street is the place to go. The same tshirt that costs ten or fifteen dollars in Times Square will be sold at “three for ten dollars” on Canal Street. Branch- Cutting edge bands like SIRSY often play on the Bitter End stage in New Photo/Mark Bergin ing off Canal Street are Little Italy (at York’s Greenwich Village. Mulberry Street) and Chinatown.

received at Foot Heaven (he chose an hour long backrub) was the best he’s ever had in the world. I can’t argue. I’m not sure exactly what they’re doing, but their brochure says reflexology, Chinese Tui Na and acupressure back rubs. You can get a full hour foot massage for $40 or backrub for $45. You can get shorter treatments or you can also combine different types. There’s a cute sign in the reception area: Legitimate business. No hanky panky. Okay, the message is clear. Since you’re in the neighborhood, spend the day exploring Chinatown. Michael Shannon is one of my favorite actors, especially in live theatre. He was the bad guy in the movie Premium Rush, involving a bicycle delivery guy getting a payment to a company in China via an address on Doyers Street. Michael Shannon calls Doyers the most badass street in New York. Much of the action in Premium Rush, including the climactic final scene, takes place there. As far as I’m concerned, Doyers and area should be on the must-visit list. It was once the bloodiest street in New York. It’s only one block long, but it’s a curvy block that forms a 90-degree angle, convenient for gangs that used to ambush each other. There also used to be a Chinese opera house on the street with tunnels and multiple entrances. Gang members could quickly move underground through the tunnels and exit onto a completely

different street, evading both other gangs and the police. The opera house is gone, but some of the underground tunnels are still there and you can wander through. For traditional Chinese food, visit Nom Wah Tea Parlor on Doyers Street. It’s been around for almost 100 years. But don’t expect knives and forks at your table. It gets very busy by noon, so go a bit early. Guide books don’t tell you about places like Foot Heaven, Nom Wah or Doyers Street. You have to find them on your own. Another fun way to spend a couple of hours is a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. The easiest route is to take the A-train subway (yes, the one in the Ella Fitzgerald song, but going in the opposite direction from Harlem) to High Street and walk back across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. If you really want to see New York, walk, take a bus, ride the subway. Or if you prefer to just rattle your jewelry (to steal a line from John Lennon), you could cab it everywhere. There are some fine restaurants in NYC. We’ll look at some foodie highlights, along with quirky museums and strange (in a good way) spots to explore next week in the third and final column in this series about New York.

Frontenac Islands appoints new Howe Island Councillor from Howe Island of funding. Vicki Leaky, of KMPG, noted both reports are a mass of detail, but concluded in a summary the township would require $55 millions (some $32,000 per resident) to replace the all the township’s assets, including ferries, buildings, and equipment, and this would be in addition to the costs annually of repairing and rehabilitating all the assets over their useful life. The real pressure is on the 22% of the roads deemed deficient and that some $20.8 millions should be spent to address this infrastructure need, plus annual maintenance. The latter is now at $350,000 but should be closer to $1.8 million a year. The report is intended to give council a clear picture of what is needed and offered a strategy of 4 points....first to expend funds to protect the current level of capital assets ..next to consider a 5 year capital levy of 2%...explore the use of debt as a funds source....and continue to pursue grant programs from senior levels of government. Council accepted the reports as they are required by the province, but did not reach any conclusions or decisions as to a future direction or action. 3. Council will continue its contract with Frontenac County for accounting services excluding budgeting and payroll for 6 months. Items of interest noted by council members: 1. Need to go to tender for planned boat ramp. 2. WI’s Historical Society along with Roly Jensen and his equipment put this year’s very tall Christmas tree in place at the WI Town Hall. 3. Budget discussions will begin week of Jan. 6th. Council meets next Dec, 9th on Howe Island.

Heritage news- When Howe Island resident Pat Norris, a member of Frontenac Islands Municipal Council resigned his position the township had some decisions to make about filling his position. Should the person next in line from the last election be chosen at this late date? Should there be a by- election? Should members of council ask around in the community for interested individuals? What ever their decision, would citizens step up to the plate to fill the position knowing that if chosen, their term would last only until the next municipal elections to be held in October 2014 , approximately 13 months away? Leaving it vacant would leave the Howe Island Ward with only one direct representative while the Wolfe Island ward has two representatives and the Mayor is elected at large ( by both wards). As it turned out council declared the position of Councillor from Howe Island vacant on October 15th, posted the vacancy and a request for applications to fill the post no later than Dec. 2nd on the Township’s website (Nov. 7th) and in local papers (Nov. 9th).a request for applications to fill the post no later than Dec. 2nd And within a few days four people did step up to the plate, filing applications and completing the required oath of qualification. The four candidates from Howe Island included : Joseph Beatty; Natalie Nossal; Heather Lippert and Louise Farrah-Watson. Council was delighted with the response. The vote to fill the council position took place at a Special Meeting of Council held Dec. 4th on Howe Island. Each of the present membedrs of council was with each member entitled to one vote among the four candidates, who were named in alphabetical order on the ballot. The candidate who received the most votes was Natalie Nossal. And in accordance with provincial regulations Council passed a by-law appointing her to the vacant position on council. The candidates were to be notified of the results of the vote the following day. The swearing in of the Councillor Nossal is scheduled to be held at the regular monthly meeting of council Dec. 9th on Howe Island. 2.

Ikonen eyes World Juniors with Team Finland line with Sam Bennett and Spencer Watson. “Henri is probably our most consistent, two-way forward,” said Kingston head coach Todd Gill. “I can use him on the power play and the penalty kill. I see Henri as a role model for the younger players. I can show them clips of Henri and tell them that’s what I expect.” There are many things to like about Ikonen’s game, according to Gill. “He can be physical, a real ox in the corner digging out pucks. When he wins the puck, he can beat you with a nice pass or a hard shot,” he said. At 6-foot and 190 pounds, Ikonen has the size to handle the more phys-

Meeting street needs with respect Continued from page 18

North America. When I’m in Kingston, I don’t leave my home much. It’s my nest– my sanctum sanctorum. I renew. Many people don’t have this luxury. When I’m in New York City, when I’m not writing, I spend much of my time on the streets or in the tunnels. I love getting to know the characters who dwell out there. I recently met a Vietnam Vet named Colin. He sets up a table outside a bakery/cafe and hires himself for odd jobs in Greenwich Village. The bakery welcomes him when he wants to come inside. Colin introduced me to the best oatmeal cookies in the city. He’s down on his luck, but he conducts himself with dignity. Most people on the streets are doing the best they can with the resources they’ve got and the skills they were given. John MacIntyre sent me the Street Mission newsletter, which has stories about about humility and caring. “Our volunteers have learned humility. Each night we feel blessed by God for our quality of life, and the richness of family and friends.” MacIntyre explains that the guiding values for the organization are respect for human life with dignity; respect for our community and its diversity; serving those in need; caring for those who are emotionally hurt; non-judgmental attitudes; and advo-

cacy for the needs of the marginalized.” The centre offers more than material support. “One fellow comes in to socialize,” says MacIntyre. “He just needs some place where there are people. He doesn’t live on the streets. He lives alone.” The centre operates with three volunteers a night. About 15 to 20 people drop in on the average night. The role of volunteers is to socialize, get up and serve snacks and warm drinks and make sure everyone is safe. There’s a board on the wall listing different settings where people can spend the night. If there’s no place to go, a volunteer can give someone a tarp and a blanket for protection against the freezing outdoor weather. The warm blankets were all made by the Kingston chapter of Blankets for Canada. It’s one of many examples of the groups who work together to provide for those in need. An art group called Mess also works out of the church. Funds from art sales go to the Street Mission. “There are lots of regulars who come in,” said MacIntyre. “They’re really good people. Some come to sit and be quiet and relax in a warm space. Some people are afraid to come in but we want to get the word on the streets that we’re here. We think the official count of how many homeless and street people are in our

community is way off, underestimating the actual number.” He said the Mission has had a lot of St. Lawrence College students volunteering, but many are not available at Christmas time when they return to their own homes out of town. He explained that anyone who volunteers with Street Mission has to provide CPIC (Canadian Police Information Centre) clearance. He noted that if there are students or others who would like to volunteer but the $25 cost of obtaining the CPIC is getting in the way, the Mission will offer to reimburse the person if they commit to volunteer at least ten shifts. I asked John why someone should care about those on the streets. “Why care? Because they’re people like you and I. They’re very special people. We want our clients to feel special. We want to welcome them as if they’re coming into a home. It’s rewarding; you meet some really great people. It feels good knowing you’ve given someone a warm spot for four hours. The hard part is at midnight when you have to say, ‘I’m sorry, it’s time to leave.’ But they’re all very good about it. You’ve given them four hours of comfort and warmth.” He said that some people want to participate in card games or board games and others want to be

Dr. Andrew Johnston of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Princess Street, and John MacIntyre, Street Mission coordinator, hold a blanket, one of many donated to the mission by the Kingston Chapter of Blankets for Canada. left alone. Clients are diverse and range in age from young adults to the elderly. MacIntyre says that people have suggested Street Mission should stay open year round. “It’s a great idea,” he says. “But we don’t want to run a program we can’t afford to keep up in the future. We’ve made the program sus-

tainable for the future. We get no government support. We do everything on a volunteer and donation basis.” If you’d like to donate supplies like clothing, food, board games, blankets or make a financial contribution, contact John MacIntyre at 613-329-8199 or email kingston. street.mission@gmail.com.

New board optimistic about future of Kingston Interval House and thankful to community for support By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - The fall of 2013 was a time of change for Kingston Interval House. After the previous board resigned in September citing financial troubles and concerns about future sustainability, members of the newly-elected board say that the organization is ready to face the future with a fresh, new energy and outlook. New Kingstonian and board member Bailey Gerrits notes that she was very moved by how community members came out so strongly in support of Kingston Interval House when word got out about the previous board resigning. “It was seemingly a crisis, but I think it actually showed the community resolve to support the organization,” Gerrits says. “It was a moment in which I saw the community come together and rally to support us, whether it was people on the board who were recruited to say ‘this organization needs some strong women to come out and support us’ or whether it was people showing up at the meetings doing membership drives, it was a really interesting experience.” Marilyn Birmingham, another new board member, emphasizes that programs, which support

women and children experiencing violence, continued to run as usual throughout the month that Interval House had no board. “The workers continued to work and do a great job and the house continued to function fine without having a board. Some words were going around that we were closing and it never got anywhere near that situation. It was just a changeover because I think they thought maybe others could do a different job.” Birmingham looks forward to bringing new ideas to the table at Interval House and directly helping a cause she strongly believes in to be as effective as possible. “I’ve never really had any relationship with Interval House, but I’ve always supported it and given them donations,” she says. “I remember when the first one opened [in 1975]. I certainly understand the importance of this organization. I’m really busy in the community with other things, but a number of people encouraged me because I have a lot of board experience and I have experience with large boards and large organizations.” For Gerrits, becoming a board member was a very natural fit. “Domestic violence is really close to my heart, so when I came to Kingston I looked up Interval House [with the intent of volun-

teering]. Of course, I asked this question around the same time the board resigned, so instead of saying ‘you’re going to volunteer’ they said ‘well actually there’s a board position’.” Gerrits hopes that her fresh perspective as one who is new to the city will help steer the future of Interval House in the right direction. “A lot of people have a lot of community ties, which are awesome for continuing the organization and continuing to get support, but I feel it’s nice to come in not having that. One or two of us have that perspective and that allows us to have different ideas or think of other things that other people may not think of. We have (Left to Right) Interval House executive director Shannon Griggs and different questions we can ask.” new board members Bailey Gerrits and Marilyn Birmingham. All the same, the future of Photo/Hollie Pratt-Campbell Kingston Interval House is not without its challenges. “Government support has flat- rience, however, she is confident Griggs adds that “this is how lined and that’s a struggle that that the people of the Kings- we keep the organization going. we’re facing,” Gerrits says, and ton area will continue to come We get the support from the comBirmingham adds that indeed through for them. munity but we are also able to there has been no increase in “The community has been in- assist the members of the comfunding for the last five years. credibly supportive of us, and munity.
