Housing crisis looms as federal funding phased out, city officials warn By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston is heading for a social housing crisis that it will be hard-pressed to afford. The federal government is gradually phasing out funding to municipal providers of low-cost housing, including cities like Kingston. It is expected that all federal support will end in 2035. While the full impact of the “step down” funding won’t be felt for nearly 20 years, city officials have already started planning for the day when local taxpayers may have to assume most of the costs to subsidize rents and repair a total of 2,003 social housing units in the Kingston area. “What that means is basically the city is going to be left with the assets and operations. So we need to ensure council understands the magnitude of what that will represent in the long term, and identify potential strategies,” explained Lanie Hurdle, the commissioner of community services who’s responsible for housing services. It’s estimated the municipality will have to absorb $20 million in yearly costs, plus an estimated capital repair shortfall of up to $150 million once federal subsidies dry up. Hurdle says the phased-out funding formula will occur in stages as mortgages on social housing units are paid off. “There are current agreements that we have with the federal government. At the end of Quintilian School Social Club members Terry Thompson, Lucas Matheson and Erol Agaolu plunge into the frigid, two de- those agreements, which are based on the mortgages for those pargree, water of Confederation Basin Marina as they joined 78 brave souls who took part in the 5th annual Kingston Polar ticular assets, that’s when the federal role basically ceases to exist.” A special council meeting was held Feb. 3 to brief politicians

Neighbourhood group says City Hall’s public process is broken By Bill Hutchins

News – A newly-formed neighbourhoods coalition says City Hall has “lost touch” when it comes to allowing meaningful public participation on important planning matters. The so-called Coalition of Kingston Communities, a collection of neighbourhood associations and community groups, has red-flagged several recent examples where it claims city officials did not provide “fair opportunity for public representation.” Christine Sypnowich, coalition chair and president of the Barriefield Village Association, says a culture shift is needed. “Some of these things just involve taking public engagement seriously - not thinking of it as just sort of a box to be ticked.” The criticism comes as the city faces several controversial development proposals, namely; the fate of the marine museum, Capitol condominium project, Homestead Land Holding’s twin apartment towers on Queen Street, and the ongoing update to the Official Plan. The group claims that people are feeling left out of the process when developers apply for Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendments. In particular, it cites the standard practice of holding a public meeting in the early stages when a planning application is brought forward by a developer. However, the group says most of those meetings don’t provide enough background information on the actual application to make informed comments. “Subsequent to the ‘front end’ public meeting, applications seem to disappear into a ‘black hole’ of administrative review. There is a significant delay between the public meeting and the meeting scheduled for a committee decision,” according to a background document drafted by the coalition. The delay between the public meeting and the decision-making denies residents the ‘most recent’ information to be able to make opinions and comments. Detailed reports outlining staff reasons and recommendations for supporting, changing or denying a development proposal usually aren’t made until weeks or months after the initial public meeting, at which time it’s usually too late for the public to provide any further comments, the group asserted. Coun. Richard Allen, who sits on the planning committee, says the group raises legitimate concerns that need to be seriously considered. He says the information that comes back in subsequent reports is generally technical in nature, but there are other ways for citizens to reach out to their councillors outside of the mandatory meet-

ings. “The criticism calls into question the role of elected officials. Why aren’t they (coalition) able to communicate through their elected officials?” Councillors are free to hold town hall meetings in their own districts, and invite planning department staff to receive additional public comments, he explained. Another possible solution is for developers to be more proactive to engage the community, he added. “I would prefer if developers and owners took a greater community engagement process, saying ‘What do we have to do to gain your support?’ We don’t have a lot of precedent for that.” IN8 Developments, the company behind the proposed 20 storey Capitol condominium project atop the former Capitol movie theatre, did host its own community consultation. The city also invited public comments to the rezoning application in July 2015, but seven months have elapsed and no one knows the state of the project. Staff have not yet made a recommendation to the planning committee on whether the proposed the height and scale of the downtown building is acceptable. “Significant interest and opposition has been expressed to the proposal yet current City procedure appears to prohibit any further formal public involvement,” the group fears. The only recourse left to citizens on this or other projects, the coalition warns, may be to file an appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board to ensure there will be further public involvement. The coalition’s executive members, including Christine Sypnowich, John Grenville and former councillor Pat Hodge, met recently with Kingston mayor Bryan Paterson and Councillor Liz Schell, chair of the planning committee, to voice their concerns. The group says the meeting was “encouraging” and that civic leaders are committed to improving the consultation process. “Concerns with the planning process, the Official Plan Review and unsympathetic development have been simmering for some time,” said Pat Hodge, vice chair of the coalition. The coalition wants the format and structure of an upcoming Feb. 23 public meeting to gather feedback on the latest draft of the Official Plan to be clarified well in advance so the public knows the ground rules about how long people can speak and whether they can engage and question staff and consultants on the scope and content of the Official Plan. “In order for the new Plan to be respected, it should reflect proper consultation, according to the law,” said Sypnowich. The coalition points out that council has declared government openness and transparency a key component of its strategic priorities.

on the problem and possible long-term solutions. Kingston was downloaded the responsibility of managing 2,003 rent-geared-toincome social housing units in the city and Frontenac County in 1998. Federal housing subsidies started decreasing in 2008. The city’s contribution has risen from $8.2 million to $10.9 million in the past decade, while federal payments have declined from $3.6 to $3.1 million in the same period. A 2014 report titled The State of Homelessness in Canada said spending from federal operating agreements has declined

annually since the 1990s. “Over the past 25 years, while Canada’s population increased by almost 30%, annual national investment in housing has decreased dramatically, by over 46%,” the report noted. It’s not just Kingston’s problem. “We do know that a number of municipalities are raising this as an issue. Kingston is not alone. This is going to happen across Canada,” said Hurdle. The federal government plans to eliminate $1.5 billion in housing subsidies across Canada. Kingston is legally obligated to continue to provide social housing – covering about two-thirds of the rent for each unit,

mains hard-pressed to put much of a dent in the waiting list. In 2014, as an example, the city invested nearly one million dollars just to create 18 rent subsidized units in new buildings at Canatara Court. But it’s only enough money to provide lower rents for 15 years. With social housing units, like the kind supported by Ottawa, the rents are more heavily subsidized and rent revenues are not high enough to cover capital costs to repair the units. At this point, city officials say they are committed to finding strategies that will not burden local taxpayers, such as drawing on the capital budget gradually to replace housing units that are

too old to repair. “We’ll try in all possible ways not to impact property taxes. We’ll look at all the options to phase in capital funding, or leverage some assets,” Hurdle told reporters. But the best solution, according to officials, is to persuade the federal government to stay in the social housing business. Hurdle added: “We are hoping the federal government may continue with support in some way. But obviously I think the message will need to continue to get to the federal levels in terms of how critical it is to continue with that support.

plus insurance and other operating costs. There’s also the added capital cost of fixing up or replacing some of the aging apartments and townhouses that will eventually become Kingston’s sole responsibility under the current scenario. The city started to replace a handful of aging townhouses last summer, but it’s a small amount of what will need to be done. “We’ve started this past year in some of the social housing on Daly Street but that’s a very minor component of all the social housing we know we have in the community.” Councillors have made affordable housing creation a local priority but re-

News – City councillor Jeff McLaren wants the whole world to know that Kingston is serious about doing its part to reduce the damage caused by climate change. “There is no planet B,” he said, while introducing a motion to support the Paris Agreement. “We need to change the way we do business.”

While councillors got behind his lengthy resolution which, in part, calls on the federal government to ratify the Paris Agreement on climate change and for the city to search for ways to reduce its carbon footprint, many were less enthusiastic about who’s on the mailing list to receive the motion. “We need to be strategic

and specific. Otherwise they’ll ignore it,” cautioned Mayor Bryan Paterson. Coun. McLaren wanted copies of his January 26 motion to be sent to the Secretary General of the United Nations, plus the Prime Minister, local MPs, Ontario’s premier and every single municipality in Ontario. The mayor says he sup-

ports the intent and spirit of the motion, but complained the mailing list is too long and far reaching. He says world leaders probably have little interest in learning the city is teaming up with the Kingston Environmental Advisory Forum (KEAF) to come up with local solutions to combat cliContinued on page 6

Kingston Youth Shelter seeks public’s help after trying year involving flood, fire By Cris Vilela

News - The past year has been a time of tribulations for the Kingston Youth Shelter. On Feb. 6, 2015, its residence at 212 Yonge

St. suffered significant flood damage after vandals broke in, turned all of the building’s taps on and stuffed all of the drains with paper towel. Exactly one year later, on Feb. 6, 2016, the Youth Shelter suffered another significant loss, this time at their building at 234 Brock St, where a fire broke out in one of the bedrooms. Though none of the 13 people who were in the building at the time suffered significant injuries, the residence was rendered uninhabitable. As with the previous incident, Kingston Police are investigating and suspect that the damage was deliberate. Jason Beaubiah, executive director of the shelter, musters up some humour from the unfortunate coincidence. “Well, I’ll be staying in bed on Feb. 6, 2017, that’s for sure,” he says with a sardonic smile. He remains upbeat despite the challenges thrown his way. He’s especially grateful for the public help and words of support his organization has received since the alleged arson. “People have been coming in all week, dropping stuff off, or just calling to show their support,” he says.

Beaubiah is hopeful that the building will be partially habitable again within the next week, but estimates that it will not be able to be at full capacity again for at least two months. Cleanup has already begun, but the second floor remains heavily damaged by the fire and the first floor, the kitchen and living room suffered water damage from the necessary firefighting efforts. Beaubiah says that, due to the public’s generosity, many of the immediate clothing needs of the residents have already been taken care of. Of greatest need now, he says, are undergarments, toiletries and monetary donations. “We lost everything that we had in our

storage closet,” he says, and so they are in dire need of items like toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and new socks and underwear. Those wishing to make monetary donations may do so online at https://www.canadahelps.org/dn/8962, where donors will receive charitable tax receipts. St Lawrence College students have also set up a GoFundMe account at https://www.gofundme.com/ http-www-station . Due to the way GoFundMe operates, donors through this site will not receive a charitable tax receipts. In kind donations may be dropped off at 212 Yonge St.

Keeping up with the KEDCOs: Review committee has to rebuild public trust Editorial – Rookie Councillor Adam Candon thought he was doing the right thing by getting himself on the committee that’s trying to reform KEDCO, the city’s oft-criticized economic development agency. He was, after all, one of KEDCO’s vocal critics early on in the council term. It was about this time a year ago, during council’s priority talks, when Coun. Candon was openly critical of the amount of tax funding the agency receives to foster job growth and new

mate change. “I don’t know if the Secretary General needs to know what we’re asking KEAF to do,” said Paterson. Coun. Peter Stroud also dismissed the “nonsensical” attempt to make United Nations head Ban Ki-Moon aware of what Kingston is doing. “It might be a little unrealistic to think the Secretary General would read it.” However, he agreed with the motion’s general intent to ‘think global, act local.’ “We have to exceed ourselves,” noted Coun. McLaren.

Council voted unanimously to endorse the principles of the Paris Agreement and to search for local ways to reduce emissions, but voted 7-5 against a mass mailing of its message.

Councillor Kevin George, the city’s representative on the Ontario association of municipalities, is the best person to relay council’s message, the mayor explained.

The latest criticism surrounds the composition of the 10-member committee that’s comprised of citizens, councillors, senior staff and KEDCO board members. Some accuse the panel of being stacked with too many KEDCO supporters who may be more eager to protect their turf and less enthusiastic to embrace wholesale changes. Those accusations, however true or false, have forced the committee to take a step back and review its own objectivity to remove any perception of bias. “We need to convey a message that we’re listening to everybody,” Candon asserted. Though, the notion that this once KEDCO critic is somehow now in KEDCO’s back pocket by virtue of an appointment to the review committee has left Candon shaking his head. “Now that I’m on the other side it’s as if I worked for KEDCO for five years. That’s not the case.” Despite the conflict criticism that’s been swirling around the committee, Candon has no plans to give up his seat. Committee members, tasked with what may be the city’s most thankless job, are likely in for a bumpy ride over the next five months.

investment. He wondered why similar sized cities seemed to be promoting economic development on smaller budgets. He wasn’t comparing apples to apples came the terse reply from KEDCO brass, who pointed out their role involves tourism as well. To put KEDCO’s annual spending into perspective, the $2.6 million it will receive from local taxpayers this year is less than one per cent of City Hall’s $348 million overall budget for 2016. The city spends about as much on KEDCO as it does to operate municipal arenas, such as the Invista Centre, or to maintain the parks. Yet, the arm’s length KEDCO remains a favourite punching bag of councils, past and present. Why is that? Well, critics say it’s because it doesn’t appear have the same degree of accountability or transparency as other municipally-funded services. And, if it does, few details are ever open to public scrutiny. KEDCO’s board is governed by the Corporations Act, not the Municipal Act, which means it operates under separate rules. Heck, even its top earners don’t have to disclose their salaries on the Sunshine List. While Coun. Candon doesn’t doubt his commitment to bringing in needed reforms on the review committee that’s almost as large as council itself, he does question the point of constant chirping by the public. “If the community is only focusing on the negative it’s hard to come up with solutions.”

Letter to the editor:

Funding for transit infrastructure a priority At MP Mark Gerretsen’s very interesting prebudget consultation at Memorial Hall this past Feb. 9, Gerretsen stated clearly that Canada’s Liberal government would fund “rehabilitation of existing infrastructure” in their first round of infrastructure spending - NOT NEW INFRASTRUCTURE! In other words, federal funds are not currently available for either the Third Crossing or the Airport. The new Liberal government priorities are $20 billion for transit related work, $20 billion for green infrastructure and $20 billion for social infrastructure. Gerretsen also stated that cheaper projects are more likely to get funding. Canada’s major cities are lining up for funding for transit and affordable housing, projects that fit the Liberal government’s new emphasis on sustainability and combating the effects of climate change. Kingston should do the same. Otherwise we risk missing out. Let’s focus on improvements to our transit infrastructure in an upgrade to the city’s transit plans that could hopefully gain provincial as well as federal funding. A couple of suggestions: 1) Increase the frequency of buses - especially those on express routes. 2) Connect Countryside District to the city by creating Park and Rides in Glenburnie and Elginburg. Currently 70 per cent of the residents of South Frontenac work in Kingston.

They drive into Kingston in single occupancy vehicles. Cheap downtown parking is subsidized by Kingston tax payers. All these cars create unnecessary congestion and clogged arterials during rush hours. 3) Make transit free - or charge a minimal 25 cents a ride. Minimum wage workers rely increasingly on transit as downtown rents increase. Transit assistance could be seen as helpful social infrastructure - one of the new Liberal priorities. The necessity of using coins and exact change is also problematic. A family of four has to prepare and be weighed down by $20 in coins for a trip from the suburbs to downtown and back. It becomes cheaper and more convenient for them to take a cab. Further, our very friendly and helpful bus drivers often waive the fees when people don’t have exact change - resulting in lost revenue for the city. According to numbers provided online for the 2015 Operating Budget, currently the city spends $18,063,511 on Transit. There is an additional “Administration” cost of $1,605,192 and another cost of $276,246 for Bus Stops and Shelters for a total expenditure of $19,944,949. The city receives revenues of $6,655,439. In 2015, transit carried over four million riders. If each paid $2.50 that would be $8 million in revenues, so there would appear to be some unexplained discrepancy here. If the city just asked for a flat fare of 25 cents for each rider, each trip, no matter if youth, adult or senior, the fare box receipts would be $1 million. That would make the costs

more like $18.9 million, so it would represent a move from 3.93 per cent of the city’s budget to 5.6 per cent. No fares at all would be a 5.9 per cent increase. This makes sense. Making transit free or of minimal cost would align with

the new Liberal priorities as well as with Focus Kingston, Sustainable Kingston and the priorities stated in the city’s Official Plan. Mary Farrar Kingston

Editorial

In Our Opinion

A tale of two pregnancies

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finally doing it, folks. This August, our little family of three will become four.Â Before the baby is born, though, I first must go through the stage of being pregnant, which is of course its own major life event that I have many feelings about. So far, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struck me more than anything are the many differences between this pregnancy and my first. Here are some highlights: 1) Nausea (or lack thereof). When pregnant with Summer, I spent the majority of the first trimester avoiding food and/ or hovering over a toilet. The nausea was so bad the doctor prescribed a medication for it so I could continue to work and function in the world like a somewhat normal human being. This time around, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had none of that. The only symptom I had during the first trimester was sore breasts. Half the time, I even forget Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pregnant, though thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming harder to do now that a little bump has started to grow.Â My nan had five children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; three boys and two girls. She always said she was sick as a dog when pregnant with the girls, but perfectly fine with the boys. As a result of

this very non-scientific theory, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m betting this baby is a boy. 2) Coffeeâ&#x20AC;Ś.and other pregnancy â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonosâ&#x20AC;?. The first time I was pregnant, I was obsessed with avoiding anything What to Expect categorizes as unsafe. The list is long and contains a good portion of things that in my opinion make life worth living. This time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grudgingly completely cut out two of my favourite things in the world: wine (and all alcohol) and hot yoga. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still drinking close to my normal amount of coffee, eating the occasional runny egg, etc. Stressing about every little thing seems so ridiculous to me, and limiting my coffee intake to one small cup per day the first time around turned this caffeine-addicted journo into a grumpy, lethargic, headachy mess.Â Occasionally, I even find myself shaking my head about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOLâ&#x20AC;? commandment (and, more generally, the heaps of guilt our society piles upon mothers in many different ways). Would having one little glass of champagne on Christmas Eve really hurt the baby?? The answer is no, but of course I refrained anyway. If any little thing went wrong, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d forever blame myself for taking that tiny sip of bubbly. Â 3) Pregnancy weight gain.Â With Summer, I gained a little over 45 pounds, which is quite a bit more than the recommended 25-35 pounds a woman of my body type is â&#x20AC;&#x153;supposed to gainâ&#x20AC;? during pregnancy. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not pregnant, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty easy for

Kanata Kourier-Standard

me to stay at a healthy weight Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reasonably comfortable with, so I was a bit surprised that I ended up gaining that much. Still, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it much thought until after I gave birth. For some reason I was under the illusion Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go right back to normal, but in reality it was months before I could wear my regular clothes again and I felt down and blah about not looking and feeling like â&#x20AC;&#x153;myselfâ&#x20AC;?.Â This time, I am determined to limit weight gain while also trying not to obsess over food/calories and continue my efforts to be a body-positive example for my daughter. I think part of the problem last time was that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not super active during the winter, and used pregnancy as an excuse to be even less active. In my defense, my third trimester with Summer spanned the entire winter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to go for a run or even a walk when a) youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re huge and b) itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freezing outside and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow and ice on the ground. Thankfully, winter has fallen during early pregnancy this time, and the weather hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been too bad this year so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still managed to get at least one daily walk in. I also got myself a Fitbit to better track my activity and even joined a gym, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been attending a few times a week. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing everything in my power to have a healthy pregnancy but I suppose if I do gain too much again I can always just chalk it up to that old lie of my body doing what it needs to do and leave it at that.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really on trial in the Ghomeshi case? Editorial - Over the past couple of weeks, former CBC Radio Host Jian Ghomeshi has been on trial for sexual assault. Ghomeshi was charged in November of 2014 after nine women came forward with reports of abuse and sexual assault. After some pre-trial motions and back and forth, Ghomeshi was charged with five counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking. He plead not guilty to all charges. As his trial began at the beginning of February, many looked on, hopeful that the accusers would be an example for other women who have been assaulted. But what occurred was very different and now, there is fear that the case may actually deter victims from coming forward. Early on, it became clear that the case was less about Ghomeshi himself (who never actually took the stand) and more about the credibility of his accusers. Three women took the stand and instead of being asked about the events that took place, the defence asked what kind of car Ghomeshi drove at the time, how their hair was styled when he allegedly pulled it and why they continued to talk to Ghomeshi after the alleged attacks. We have to wonder, why was any of this relevant? At times, it seemed as though the accusers were the ones on trial. The statistics for sexual assault reporting are already bad and according to Statistics Canada data there are 460,000 sexual assaults annually in Canada, but only a fraction, about 15,000, are reported to police.Â For every 1,000 incidents, 33 are reported, 12 result in charges, six go to trial and three result in convictions. This trial doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much for these statistics as onlookers see that instead of giving a voice to these women, the trial is simply cutting them down and questioning their credibility at every turn. Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we moved beyond the victim blaming? When all of these allegations came out there were calls for the victims to be heard and campaigns like #beenrapedneverreported appeared. Many were hopeful that this would be a turning point for sexual assault cases. Maybe it still can be. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out on March 24.

On Feb. 9, representatives from 12 organizations in Kingston launched the Community Risk Watch initiative, a collaborative, multi-agency program that will work to meet the needs of individuals and families experiencing acutely elevated levels of risk. “These are individuals that may be on the brink of doing harm to themselves or

ward situations that they have encountered in their own work area or that other groups have brought to them,” said Holmes. “It might be someone who has been identified in the school system, but there are factors involved including the family and that is beyond the school’s control. By reaching out to other community partners to get involved it is bringing the services to the individual before they or the family hit a breaking point.” After assessing situations and needs, rapid intervention will take place and representatives from certain organizations involved can help will deliver their intervention within 48 hours. “They will do a ‘door knock’ where they will go visit the family and offer the services,” said Holmes. “It is not about going and enforcing or apprehending, it is about going and offering assistance through services.”

harm to the community and it is really about trying to help people before they hit crisis level,” explained Lisa Holmes, regional director of specialized care at Ongwanada Resource Centre and chair of the working group that helped launch the Community Risk Watch program. Participants in the Kingston Community Risk Watch program include both the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic and Limestone District School Boards; Addiction and Mental Health Services of KFL&A; Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services; Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington; Ontario Provincial Police; Kingston Police; City of Kingston; Pathways for Children and Youth; Victim Services of Kingston and Frontenac and Youth Diversion. Representative from these organizations will meet on a weekly basis for a ‘situation table’ discussion where individual cases will be presented, discussed and evaluated. “They all gather and they can bring for-

Kingston area organizations launch new Community Risk Watch program Continued from page 10

Global Community Safety developed the Community Risk Watch initiative and similar programs are already running successfully in other communities across Canada. In Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, the violent crime severity index dropped by 39 per cent since the launch of their program in 2011, almost three times the average drop recorded across the rest of the province. “With this program, there is the opportunity for the OPP to bring cases to the table where we don’t have the resources that these individuals need in order to make their lives better,” said Sgt. Sharron Brown with the Frontenac detachment of the OPP. “It allows us to get assistance with things like housing and mental health issues or

whatever the case may be.” Sgt. Brown also hopes that the Community Risk Watch program will work from a preventative standpoint. “That is certainly a positive spin off to all of this,” she said. “Sometimes we are the only service available at two in the morning and we will come if we are needed, but when we are able to hook individuals or families up with the proper services afterwards we may not receive that second or third call.” While meetings are still in initial stages, members of the situation table were already excited to get things started and help more people in the community. “There is a lot of training behind this and it is very in-depth,” said Holmes. “I think everyone is excited to be given this

opportunity to come together and work together. We all want this to succeed and that is very important.” As the program continues, data collected will also help develop community programs and fill gaps in current programs that may help with prevention of recurring risks and issues.

“I think it will be really beneficial to the community as a whole and could benefit any community,” said Holmes. “We are really looking forward to seeing where it takes us.” For more information about the Community Risk Watch Program visit http://www. globalcommunitysafety.com/

Cancer will be diagnosed faster at KGH thanks to new microscope donation

By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – For patients dealing with a possible cancer diagnosis, waiting to hear the official news can be difficult; a new donation to Kingston General Hospital (KGH) is hoping to help alleviate some of this stress. On Feb. 9, Kingston Community Credit

Union (KCCU) announced a $60,000 donation to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) in support of a new multi-head histopathology microscope for KGH. “The microscope allows our pathologists to provide guidance to surgeons in the diagnosis and treatment of patients during their surgery,” explained Colleen Knapp, manager of the histology laboratory at KGH. “It will be a valuable tool for teaching new pathologists, surgeons,

residents as well as medical laboratory technologists that pass through our department.” The generous donation from KCCU is part of the community organization’s continued support of KGH; in 2007 they donated $250,000 to the hospital, which was used to help outfit a new intensive care unit and purchase a washer and sterilizer for surgical tools. “KGH is the cornerstone in life for everyone in the Kingston community,” said Jon Desseau, chief executive officer of KCCU. “As a credit union, community engagement is core to our business and supporting KGH is key to that.” Desseau went on to explain that KGH and KCCU have a long history that spans nearly than 50 years. “We had a little office in the basement of this building in 1969, which later merged into the KCCU,” he said. “There is some continuity here and it is nice to have the partnership, which we hope will continue.” The team in the histology labs at KGH complete more than a million diagnostic tests a year

in support of care at KGH and also for centers throughout the area. Currently, the microscopes in the lab are outdated, dating back to the 1970s. “This gift will make a valuable contribution to the patients in our community, including the patients right here at our hospital,” said Knapp. “These microscopes help us accurately look at samples while the patients are in surgery and look for cancer on the spot and that is so important.” This rapid assessment by a pathologist is invaluable to patients and Denise Cumming, executive director of UHKF, expressed her appreciation for this gift from KCCU. “Until it is your family that is waiting for the result of a biopsy or some kind of results from a diagnostic test, you don’t know how vital it is that we have a well-equipped staff and facility. We are so grateful that KCCU sees how vital this piece of equipment and service will be to the well being and the piece of mind that the people in our community need when they are facing uncertainty.”

News – Loyalist Township Council met on Feb. 8 and among the agenda items for the evening was a call for support from the Regional Municipality of Niagara regarding ridesharing legislation. The item came up during Items for Action and Deputy Mayor, Ric Bresee, quickly moved to receive and support. “We have been trying to deal with this with the Kingston Area Taxi Commission and trying to come to a resolution in this region in the absence of appropriate legislation at the provincial level,” said Bresee. “If the province, in my opinion, would do its job and set the legislation appropriately then we wouldn’t have to deal with it at this level.” The item asks that all municipalities join the Regional Municipality of Niagara in their call for legislation regarding ridesharing and references a need to modernize the Insurance Act, Highway Traffic Act and Public Vehicles Act. Councillor Ashley seconded the motion and explained that without the legislation, liability issues become a real concern for the municipality. “If you have something like this set up that is unlegislated and then you have an accident on a municipal road, this will be an even deeper web that we get woven into and it will fall to the municipality and the tax payer,” he said. The motion to support passed.

stops people from trespassing and dumping garbage, and we know that occurs in our municipality, and it will stop people who have been asked politely five or six times not to trespass.” The motion to support passed. *** Lastly, council voted on by-laws including one for construction on Front Road on Amherst Island. The project involves the reconstruction of the westerly end of the road and has been awarded to Morven Construction Limited at a cost of $1,051,126. Councillor Ashley moved to receive and adopt recommendations for the project, but also voiced his concerns about it. “I am concerned about the potential for a perfect storm coming on the island with projects in 2016,” he said. “There is a temporary ferry dock being built, two refurbished ferry docks being worked on, a wind turbine project and a huge road project.” Mayor Lowry commented that Morven hopes to start the project early, so hopefully that will “negate that perfect storm,” he said. Motion carried. R0013651707

*** Also in items for action, council voted to support the Township of Wellington and their request for support regarding Bill 36. Bill 36 is a private member’s bill to amend the Trespass to Property Act. It has received first and second reading in the legislature and is now being referred to the Standing Committee on Justice Policy. The bill asks that fines for trespassing be amended from $500 to $1,000 and increased to $25,000. “I would like to support it because the current fines are $500 and that is not enough,” said Councillor Porter who moved to receive and support. “There is very little that our residents can do when hunters or anyone trespasses and there is nothing to discourage them. It does cause problems and it does cause animosity among neighbours and there needs to be a change in the trespass act so there are serious repercussions for people not abiding by law.” Deputy Mayor Bresee seconded the motion, but added that he was not comfortable with how it specified a specific monetary amount. “There has to be, in my opinion, a significant fine to deter trespassing,” stated Porter in response. “It

Kingston literary group hopes to sponsor refugee writer and family By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Like many Canadians, local author Ray Argyle has been watching the situation in Syria unfold and wanted to help. Argyle is a member of the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Letters (FACL) and he ap-

proached the foundation about what could be done. “I had no trouble convincing the board to make a grant, but according to their charter, that money has to go towards bringing a refugee writer to Canada,” explained Argyle. “We are happy to oblige and excited to bring a new literary voice from Syria to Kingston.”

English to some degree, so that is great and we look forward to linking and connecting them to the literary world in Kingston and Canada.” Above all, Argyle is excited for this opportunity and he looks forward to the enrichment that the refugee family will bring. “I think it is a great opportunity to do something worthwhile,” he said. “We know that Canada is enriched by its diversity and on an intellectual level it is especially important. I think it will be very beneficial to have them share their stories and have a voice once again.”

if this venture works out, more will follow. “There are others equally deserving and we would love to sponsor them all,” he said. “We look forward to them getting here and that is when the big job begins.” The family could arrive as soon as four months from now and Argyle has been in contact with other private sponsor groups to get advice and feedback on how the transition has been. He also hopes to connect with the Islamic Society in the coming days. “We want to integrate the writer into the community as much as we can,” he said. “Being writers, it seems that they all have

West Kingston Refugee Partnership of the United Church of Canada as well as Pen Canada and International Cities of Refugee Network (ICORN) to arrange sponsorship of a Syrian refugee writer and family. “We’ve been in touch with the United Nations relief agency and they furnished us with a list of six writers,” said Argyle. “The hard part becomes how we choose. We did establish some criteria based on their status as a writer, their family situation and the current circumstances they are in and what we feel might be the contribution they can make to Canada.” Argyle is joined by other literary figures from Kingston on the committee including Lawrence Scanlan and Barbara Bell and he was surprised that after each committee member had evaluated the candidates, the decision was almost unanimous. “It has turned out that our first choice had

already been chosen by a church group in Toronto and that is fantastic, but now we are in the process of waiting to hear back about another individual.” The group’s next choice is a senior writer who has published short stories and has translated many works of English non-fiction into Arabic. He has two children and his wife is a poet. He was also held in prison for more than 10 years because of his work. “I guess all refugees need help and support, but none more so than writers…the writers are in trouble because of what they have written and because they have exercised their free speech,” said Argyle. “They are at high risk, they are being imprisoned, they are being tortured and murdered, even in the refugee camps. We really need to think about the risk they face.” While Arglye wishes that he could help all of the families on the list, it simply isn’t possible at the moment. Still, he is hopeful that

Creating a sense of community with the Godfrey Social Club By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Four years ago, Rick Law bought a piece of property at the corner of Hwy 38 and Westport Road. The buildings on the property were old and in need of a lot of work, but he saw the potential. “When I took over this building, it was on the verge of being condemned and people actually thought I was going to tear it down, but that would have been a shame,” said Law. “It is a historic building and I wanted to give it new life.” Law is a mechanic by trade and does everything from simple insurance work to rebuilding classic cars and even elaborate custom paint jobs. He immediately converted a couple of the buildings on his new property to work spaces, but one space still needed a purpose. “I thought about making it a space where people can come and hang out, have a coffee and just come together,” he said. “I also wanted it to be a place where people could meet up on their way over to Westport and a place where they can leave their cars and then all go in together. I wanted to create a space people could really use.” The place Law created is called the ‘Godfrey Social Club’ and after

a lot of work and effort, it is now open to the public. “I started fixing this space up at the end of last summer,” he explained. “When I decide that I want to do something, I want it done immediately and I have been working hard since then.” Law had his work cut out for him; the building that now houses the business is 160 years old and he had to raise the whole foundation, put in new steel posts, gut the ceiling, put in a drop ceiling and washroom facilities. “Every penny I make goes right back into this place to make it better and better,” he said. “I have been certified by the health unit now to sell hot chocolate, coffee, tea and ice cream and now I have a fuel system and have passed the inspections for that too. It keeps getting better.” Law hopes the space will become a stop for snowmobilers in the winter to warm up and refuel and a stop in the summer for cottagers, tourists and motorcyclists.

Living in a micro world: One Kingston family’s story of love and resilience in the face of rare disease hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

Imagine your child is severely ill and no one, not even doctors, can figure out how to help her. This is the reality for Sandy and Jason K. and their daughter Allie, 4. Sandy, a health care professional, bonded with Allie when she first met her as a tiny micro preemie at a local hospital. Born prior to 26 weeks gestation and weighing less that 1lb 12 oz at birth, the little survivor pushed on against all odds. Two years later, Sandy and Allie were reunited by a chance encounter. Despite living with ongoing special needs, attachment and medical issues and spending the initial years of her life in foster care, Allie had grown into a sweet and spirited toddler – and she was still in need of a forever family to love her. Sandy had a strong feeling that the little girl was meant to be a part of their family, and she and Jason officially adopted her. Shortly thereafter, Allie experienced yet another health setback when her kidneys stopped functioning properly. She was diagnosed with steroid dependant nephrotic syndrome (NS), a life-threatening condition so rare many doctors have not heard of it. “The adoption happened quite fast and after it was finalized we got the diagnosis,” Sandy recalls. “But it didn’t matter. It never would have changed anything. Allie was always meant to be ours - she’s our girl.” Not so much a disease in itself, NS is more of a set of signs and symptoms that result from damage in the kidneys’ filtering units. Allie’s case is considered particularly rare. Some of her immunoglobins, which help fight infection, stopped working. Any time she was exposed to an allergen, her glomeruli (capillaries found in the kidney) started leaking protein. She’d gain a lot of water weight and would hardly be able to move.

For their first year together, the family lived in and out of hospitals while doctors searched for a way to treat Allie’s illness. Desperate to learn more, Sandy began doing her own research on NS. “It’s daunting, and the fact that we are somewhat educated allowed us to open doors for ourselves, whereas the vast majority wouldn’t have known to ask,” Jason says… “Sandy doesn’t brag, but when we walk into a room and the doctor’s there, she’s the smartest one in the room about this illness.” Still, the treatment process has been a struggle, involving a lot of trial and error. “When you have a rare illness the systems and the policies that are designed to assist you don’t work because you’re a one-off,” says Jason. “They’re not going to design a policy for the 600 across Canada.” After all first line treatments using the medications that successfully treat more common types of nephrotic conditions failed, doctors began trying Allie on a number of immune suppressant drugs – “the sort you see in cancer centres,” notes Sandy. While these drugs managed to get her NS somewhat under control, they’ve also forced her to live in quarantine. Were Allie to come

LET’S GET TO WORK!

into contact with a virus, her immune system wouldn’t have the ability to fight it off and it would be devastating for her health; this has made living the life of a normal child next to impossible. “She lives in a micro world,” Jason explains. “She goes to gymnastics, but she goes in when no one else is looking. That’s her time. She has a private swimming lesson and she goes when the change rooms have the least amount of people in them. She’s like a ghost.” The immune suppressant drugs are keeping Allie’s kidneys going for now, but she cannot live on them forever; doctors feel that in approximately two years, they will need to start trialling her off the meds. At that point, she’ll probably need dialysis and a kidney transplant– and that’s the best case scenario. “The thing about this disease is there is no end,” Sandy says. “Once you have a kidney transplant you can get it again. It can come back and re- attack the new kidney.” This past December, however, the family found a glimmer of hope when Sandy came across nephcure. org, a website from the U.S. where people with NS and their loved ones come together to form a community, advocate and raise money

for research and better treatment options. “We’d been sitting in a bubble for the last two years, but there are other people out there like us. We’re not alone,” she says, noting that it’s been wonderful to connect with other families who are going through the same struggles. Becoming part of this community, made up largely of Americans, gave Sandy and Jason the inspiration to try and increase awareness of NS in Canada as well as right here in Kingston. They stress that the scary thing about NS is that, while rare, it can Continued on page 18

hopes the space can be used by local residents of Godfrey. “I didn’t do this for money, I did this for community,” he said. “I want people to come together more because everyone is so splintered and it is hard to get people to come together out here.” Law would like to host movie nights in the space and even has a vintage popcorn maker he has fixed up for the occasion. He’d also like to see the space become a work area for some residents and has free Wi-Fi to support them.

“It is a great space with so much potential,” he said. “It is the perfect space and people just need to know about it.” The community feedback has been great so far and Law is grateful for the support, especially from the local residents. “It has been really good and that is what has kept me going,” he said. “There is nothing similar to this in the area and I think there is a real need for a community space like this.” Eventually, Law would like to expand the business even more and offer a selection of food too, but for now he just wants people to come in and see the space.

They also wish the public would be more aware of people who are vulnerable to viruses before sending their kids to school with a cold or even heading to the office sick. “Your common cold, that can trigger a relapse for Allie,” Sandy says. “And for us by extension - if you come to work sick, you get me sick, you get my daughter sick,” Jason adds.

St. Marguerite students celebrate National Flag Day by unveiling their own unique school flag By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Last year, students at St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Catholic School celebrated National Flag Day (Feb. 15) by learning about the history of the Canadian Flag and it’s Kingston creator, George Stanley. The students were inspired by the story and took on a project to design their own school flag. On Feb. 12, in celebration of this year’s Flag Day, they unveiled their final design. “We solicited ideas from students and we received hundreds of designs,” explained Carmine Minutillo, St. Marguerite’s principal. “The student interest was really high and really they did most of the work. It was exciting and we are so happy with the final design.” St. Marguerite is the second school in Kingston in the Catholic Board to design their own school flag, following Mother Teresa Catholic School as the first. Minutillo and teacher Alison Bogle had a hand in helping with the design of Mother Teresa’s flag and they thought it would be a great activity for their own school. “Flags create a sense of pride and legacy for the school as well as something for the students to be proud of moving forward,” said Minutillo. “It is a great community builder and we thought we should do it here. While the judging committee received hundreds of designs from the students, Tyeson Hunt’s stood out the most. The Grade 8 student’s design worked to incorporate the school colours, symbols that are important to the school and the maple leaf. “I chose the badge that we have in the gym as

the centre,” explained 13-year-old Hunt. “Then there is a book which represents education, the marguerite flower for our school and there is the symbol from the Quebec flag [fleur de lis] to represent the French part of our school. Marguerite Bourgeoys founded the first Congregation of Notre Dame in North America. She originally settled in what is now Montreal when she came to Canada and the school wanted that heritage incorporated. “There are a lot of important elements in this flag,” said Minutillo. “We also incorporated the maple leaf because the Canadian flag was really the inspiration for all of this.” The flag was officially unveiled to the students on Feb. 12 and with the help of some local dignitaries, the birth of the new flag was celebrated. “A flag is a really important thing, it is a symbol and it instills pride very time you see that symbol,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. “I know that whenever I see the Canadian flag, it makes me really proud to be Canadian and whenever I see the Kingston flag it makes me proud to be a Kingstonian. I hope you are proud to be part of this school every time you look at this flag.” Despite some snowy weather, the flag was raised on the flagpole outside the school following the unveiling and Hunt was happy and proud to see his work on display. “A lot of people are telling me they like it and I think a lot of people are really happy for me and with the design,” he said. “It is really cool, because people will know that I went to this school and remember me. I think it will also help me remember a lot of good times at this school.”

The Wolfe Islander III celebrated

By Margaret Knott

News - It is a pleasure to write about the recent event held to celebrate the ferry , Wolfe Islander III ‘s 40th Anniversary of service to Wolfe Island. The event initiated by the ‘Friends of the Wolfe Island Ferry Service’ (‘Friends’), assisted by onshore staff including Capt. Bob Woodman and supported by Regional MTO staff bringing together past and present ferry personnel, captains, mates, engineers, & staff from MTO’s Regional Offices, Regional Director Kathy Moore. Also MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle, interested public from Wolfe Island/ Kingston and islander, Tom Wroe who spoke on behalf of Friends. Following the arrival of the Wolfe Islander III, horn sounding, special flags flying, greeted by MPP Kiwala, Mayor Doyle, and MTO’s Kathy Moore, the formal event began in the Kingston ferry terminal. “We have a group called Friends of the Wolfe Island Ferry service started last year and we want to encourage events like this. We want to advocate for the ridership of the ferry. So anything we can do to help make the service better that’s what we aim to do,” Tom said at the outset.” Mayor Doyle followed with congratulations for the Wolfe Islander III long years

of successful service. “ Largely due to some of the people here,” he said. “I saw Sherman Niles and Ken White who actually were on the ship when it sailed down from Thunder Bay into this harbour Dec. 16th, . I spoke with my friend Winfield Woodman who said it took hours iof shore work (and short trial runs) to get things working right for the Feb. 5. 1976 inauguration attended by then Mayor Tim O’Shea, Syl Apps, & Minister James Snow.’ Doyle thanked all those past and present who maintain the ferry and captains and crew for the service they provide. .and MTO staff at Counter Street. MPP Kiwala expressed her delight at being there. She said that when elected in 2014 she was expected to be an expert about everything. “The WI ferry situation last summer was a trial by fire. But I have to say that during that time I began to realize how important that ferry is to islanders. Without it, lives are enormously impacted,” she said adding that sitting near Minister Del Duca in the legislature she was able to bug him about last summer’s ferry delay . “ I do want to tell you that the Minister and I had hoped to come back from Hamilton on the ferry, but it was to be an 18 hour trip. However on that night I woke up at 4 am, messaged the ferry, heard back , viewed pictures, watched the sunrise. It crystallized for me in that moment how

Mayor Doyle, Kathy Moore (far left) with captains & shore crew much the ferry means to the community.” Kiwala, expressed thanks to the (ferry) staff at Counter Street and particularly to Kathy Moore for all she has learned from her about ferry services, in particular, and also the scope of regional transportation requirements (highways,bridges etc.) in

eastern region. MTO’s Kathy Moore thanked Mayor Doyle and Friends for taking the initiative to remember the 40th Anniversary of the Wolfe Islander 111.”It has been a great opportunity for MTO to be associated with the WI Ferry service since the 1960’s,”

she said noting the social and economic changes that were brought about in the lives of islanders 40 years ago with year round service. “These changes were

A deafening silence: documentary explores stunning decline of world’s bird population hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Events - We’ve all heard the phrase “the canary in the coal mine.” But what if all birds were proverbial canaries, of sorts, and the whole world was like one big coal mine? This reality is explored in Su Rynard’s new film The Messenger. “Birds are indicator species, which means what’s happening to them could reflect the environment that they’re in, so in a way they become these messengers, or sentinels, for environmental change.” Personal experiences inspired Rynard to make the film. She’s visited her family’s cottage in the Kawartha Lakes her entire life and noticed a lot of changes over the years. “I grew up hearing certain birds and then they disappeared. I thought it was me or something in my life that had changed, but then I learned that in fact birds are disappearing and we have about half the birds that we did in the 1960s, so it’s no wonder our spring and summers are much quieter.” Rynard says the scale at which this is happening is astounding. Bird populations are declining at this rate almost everywhere throughout the world, and for different reasons in different places. “Basically we’re changing the planet faster than birds can cope with,” she explains. The film explores the many challenges songbirds face by following them on their

mostly human made ‘obstacle course’ as they migrate south for the winter, then back north. “They have to fly through cities, they have to not get eaten by people’s cats, their mating calls have to not get drowned out by industry. They can’t get distracted by light pollution and get thrown off course.” Not to mention climate change, which is wreaking havoc on systems that govern things birds have done for millions of years. “Some of them are descendants from the dinosaurs, so these systems have been in place for a long time. And the way we’ve changed the planet really, really has affected them. So there are lots of dangers.” Yet she says the film is also hopeful. “It can be overwhelming, but I think that people find hope in film because there are so many scientists and activists that are working to discover what the problems are. It feels inherently positive that there’s a movement there of people working for change.” The film also explores the fascinating nature of birds’ migrations south. “Migrating birds travel these enormous, enormous distances - 8,000 kilometres each way to migrate in a year. The fact that this little tiny creature can do that I think is astounding.” So what can be done to help the birds? Rynard says there are a number of things average people can do in their daily lives. “First and foremost, remember that conservation works. You can support your local

conservation initiative in any way - there are so many examples of success stories there.” People can even help the birds by changing the type of coffee they drink. “There’s a kind of coffee that’s organic and certified shade grown. That provides habitat for songbirds in the tropics, which is where their wintering grounds are.” Also, you can turn your lights out at night and keep your cats indoors. “Cats are really trouble for migrating birds,” Rynard explains. Furthermore, the neonicotinoid pesticide that’s killing bees is also said to be killing birds, so supporting any local bee initiative will also help. Rynard hopes her film will give audiences a greater appreciation for nature and our place in it. “The idea that nature exists outside of us, like some 1950s Disney movie, is just so old fashioned. We live inside nature and we impact it. It’s not far away. It’s the air we breathe, it’s the tree in our backyard, it’s the planet we live on as organisms. I think that kind of broader message is important.” The Messenger will screen locally later this month as part of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival. You can catch it Saturday, Feb. 27 at The Baby Grand at 3:50 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 28 at The Screening Room at 3:50 p.m. The film has done very well at previous festivals, and even received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for cinematography.

Galoshes brought back bad memories for Mary

By Mary Cook

Father was sitting on the bench at the back door. The washbasin and soap dish had been placed on the floor underneath, and beside Father’s feet was the shoebox. It was made of wood, and had the shape of a shoe sole tilted on one side. This is where Father placed his foot when he wanted to put a shine to his Sunday boots. He removed from inside, the piece of rubber, and a baking powder tin that had holes punched in the bottom, which he would use to scrape the spot where the rubber would go, when it was cut into the right size for a patch to be glued on to the galoshes or gum rubbers he was working on. I tried not to look at the galoshes on the floor beside him. These were the very same galoshes Father had tried to patch a couple weeks before Christmas. The

memory of that night was one I would be a long time erasing from my mind. I thought as the winter wore on, I might be able to forget that night, but I couldn’t. I had seen the beautiful doll one day in the dime store, and I could talk of nothing else when I got home. I even wrote Santa a letter asking if he might consider putting the doll under our Christmas tree. That night, as I raved on about the doll, and said how much I longed for it, it was then Father held up Mother’s worn galoshes and said, if Santa had any heart he would bring new galoshes for Mother. And then, like a miracle the doll had appeared that Christmas morning under the tree. And there were no new galoshes for Mother. And now, every time I watched Father working on our galoshes and rubber boots, hoping to get a bit more wear out of them by gluing on rubber patches, my mind reeled back to that fateful night when I

begged for the doll. I thought, if I didn’t watch Father, maybe I could forget about the sacrifice that was made, and stop wondering how Santa knew about that beautiful doll, and how it ended up under our tree. And as the winter wore on, Mother wore those old galoshes, patches on top of patches and there was never enough money to replace them. So I got to praying. I prayed that it would be a short winter, that the patches would hold onto the galoshes, and I even prayed that I would stop fretting about how Santa brought me the doll and no new galoshes for Mother. And that night, as I watched Father once again try to repair what looked to me beyond fixing, I wondered how much more wear Mother would get out of them, and how Renfrew County could possibly handle one more snow flake! Old Herman said it was the worst winter he had ever seen.

Mother’s shoes fitted inside the galoshes, and there was a strip of tattered fur around their tops covering the laces down to the toes. I thought they were probably as old as I was. Certainly I had no memory of Mother ever buying them. And they were black...as black as night. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t stop watching Father working away at the galoshes. And then he reached into his back pocket and took out a pair of brand new black laces. They were wrapped in a red paper sleeve. He took out the old laces and worked in the new ones, tying a knot at the top. He was in his stockinged feet, and he put the galoshes on. I had no idea what he was going to do in Mother’s galoshes, when it was just about time to go to bed. And then, one after the other, he placed his foot on the wood sole on the shoe box, and rubbed black shoe polish all over

the galoshes, covering the patches and all. He took a brush out of the shoe box, one I had seen him use many times on his Sunday boots, and with fierce strokes he brushed and brushed until I thought he would wear the rubber right down to the canvas that lined the galoshes. He held them up when he was finished, and they were as shiny as a fry pan, and looked like they had just come out of the store. “Good as new,” he said. And I wondered after, whenever I cradled that beautiful doll, how long it would take for me to release the feeling of sadness I felt whenever I looked at Mother’s galoshes, patch on top of patch.

brought about in large part by the former employees captains, crew, shore staff, those who brought the boat down, and those who serve today. This ferry has moved millions of passengers in all kinds of weather and still they remain passionate, concerned and dedicated to their work. Thank you to the generation who has gone before, some of whom are with us today and to those who presently work with the ferry service today. You have made a difference in the lives of the people and the economy of this township”. Director Moore commented also on the commemorative flags on the boat and the flags, and table of mementos , pictures, albums set up by Shore Captain Bob Woodman. Captain Brian Johnson spoke nostalgically about his time on the Wolfe Islander III. “ I was driving in this morning and saw the Islander coming in just as beautiful as ever and I finally accepted her. For years she was a certain size , a certain shape in 1975,” he said. “There are two

important dates in my 33.8 years. The first was walking down to the boat Sept. 11, 1981 and the 2nd was June 23rd, 2015 walking off the boat. I never had one bad day on the Wolfe Islander. I had bad weather, hard trips . We all have. But I loved the guys I worked with, loved the people I worked for and loved the people we serve .” A visual presentation prepared by ‘’Friends’ was ongoing through out the event . The beautiful cake was cut and served, and picture taking, conversation, memory sharing and laughter continued well into the afternoon. Around Town:*Another Great WinterFest.

ulous Metroland products, how do you like to spend your time? A) Time? I am a Father to a 28 month old boy, Logan, and step-father to a 15 year-olddaughter, Alicia. Who has time? That being said, when and if I get free time it’s usually spent either playing Xbox or watching TV with my wife. I’m a home theatre junkie and lover of movies and TV shows. I also have a catalogue of novels on my iPhone/iPad for reading when I have a few minutes. I’m working my way through the Star Wars canon at the moment. Again. Q) Not a lot of people know that you have a hidden talent – you are a gifted masseur. How did you come by this skill? A) I have zero training in the art of massage. But I am a talented amateur, I suppose. I learned the skill as a young adult for… reasons. However, at the end of the day nothing makes your partner feel better than a relaxing massage to release tension and create some much needed inner peace. Q) Are you secretly a Baldwin brother? Because you look exactly like one. A) As successful as I think I am in this career I have to believe the lowliest Baldwin makes more than enough money to have retired by now. So despite my striking familial resemblance I have to say no based solely on my personal financial position. I’m available for adoption, though, if they need another brother!

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be profiling all of your Metroland Kingston area sales reps to help you get to know them a little better. Here’s a Q&A with Kevin Clarke, marketing consultant: digital and print media. Q) When did you know you wanted to work in sales and why? A) I was very shy as a kid… painfully so. In high school I started to develop socially, and actually became an extreme extrovert. So when I was looking at colleges and careers I went with a friend to the Loyalist College Business Sales and Marketing course. I was hooked. I loved the atmosphere, the course, the content and the eventual career! It fit so well with who I was and how I got along with people. I worked retail through college (I used my OSAP more as the Ontario Stereo Acquisition Program) and found I enjoyed the challenge of fitting customers’ wants/needs with the appropriate product. I worked my way from Belleville to Calgary to Barrie to Toronto with retail before being side tracked into the Corporate world as a data analyst. Working with Metroland was my reintroduction to sales and I’ve loved every second of it! Q) You’ve been working here for about a year now. What have you learned about Kingston in that time? A) I was told from the beginning that Kingston is the smallest big city ever. I’ve heard that a lot over the years about various places but over time I realized how unbelievably true it is of Kingston. I can’t count how many times casual conversation with a client has led to seeing connections in local business and even in personal circles. Everybody knows everybody is the absolute reality here.

Perhaps it’s the time of year, with temperatures less than conducive to wandering outside in shorts and a t-shirt, but, every February, I invariably receive the most questions about photographic technique and cameras.

People want to take the time to learn before the weather improves. In addition to teaching photography and videography at St. Lawrence College, along with my studio mate, Suzy Lamont, I run regular workshops on photography. At the most recent session on January 30, there were several questions about getting better equipment. So, to deal with a question I hear regularly—four (yes, 4) times last week alone: “What camera should I buy if I want to take good photos?” The question is akin to asking what stove

you should buy to become a better cook. It’s not about the camera (or the stove), it’s the skills of the person holding the camera that make the difference. If you want to explore photography, start with the camera that’s sitting closest to you right now, possibly a cell phone in your pocket. But if you want to start learning the special skills involved in creating photos where you deliberately blur the background, work in low light or fast action (for example, dance or sports) situations, and you want to be able to control tricky lighting, you’ll need more than your cell phone. The question isn’t which camera to buy to take great photos. Instead, determine which camera will best serve you in the kinds of situations in which you like to create images. For a start, no one “takes” a photo; we create photographs. Most of the major camera companies on the market today offer great

only three or four times a year, rent it for those occasions. There’s a new (well, a new old) kid in town: Fuji. I first checked out their X-Series line of digital cameras at a conference in New York City last year. I was always a huge fan of Fuji film. They offered my favorite series of color films. But we’re now in the digital era, and Fuji lost a lot of its consumer prominence for about a decade. They’ve slowly been building a line of superb digital cameras. In 2010, Fuji launched its X-Series of digital cameras. I now own the Fuji XT-1, an amazing camera, the best I’ve ever worked with for street (or on-the-go scenic) photography. It’s quiet and powerful. For a camera at this level, it’s small, so you won’t look like a pro with it, and that’s a good thing. You can get into settings where some monster of a camera and lens would not get beyond security. For me, it’s the perfect travel/vacation camera. I’d also consider the Fuji XT10, which is newer and may be the better deal. My reason for going with the XT-1 was the kind of work I do. I’m often in lessthan-ideal situations on the street/ in the field. The

It’s the person holding the camera, not the size or brand of equiipment, that makes a difference in the quality of the final photograph created. Photo/Mark Bergin products. If I want a camera that’s always by my side/in my pocket, I’d select the smallest one that has great quality. For me that’s the Canon S100 (sorry, it’s a discontinued model) and the Fuji XQ-2 or the slightly older XQ-1. As for lenses, don’t go nuts. I own about 30 lenses, but I actually only use about three of them. If you are going to use a certain lens

XT-1 offers the best weather sealing of the Fuji line. Canon (and Mamiya) is the brand that I’ve used regularly for years. I do not get into the argument over which is better: Canon or Nikon. I’ve heard people debate at length Continued on page 29

about which glass is better, yada, yada. These are people with too much time on their hands. I’d rather be out there taking photographs. Canon, Fuji, Hasselbad, Mamiya, Nikon, Olympus, and several other makers all offer cameras that provide visual quality that was unheard of in the digital (or film) realm only 10 or 15 years ago. Don’t buy a camera without holding it, feeling what it’s like to create a photograph with it. Go into a retail shop and try several cameras. Visit a location with a large selection of all brands and models, as well as sales staff willing to spend time with you, allowing you to try several models. Which ones fit your grip best? Does one have controls that feel intuitively right to you? Then that’s the best camera for you to own. Bigger is not necessarily more professional. I can always tell the tourists and recreational photographers: they’re the ones with the big lenses wandering locales like Kingston’s Blues Fest and Fort Henry, or New York’s Times Square. As a working professional, I try to remain as inconspicuous as possible. Sure, if I’m at a fashion, concert or sports event being paid big bucks and I have to get the shot, I’m using one of those big lenses. But I believe that less is usually better. If it’s a straightforward question about what I personally use, then I’ll answer that my main camera is a Canon 6D with a 24–105 mm f/4 lens. The purist might cry, “How can you work with an f/4 and not the f/2.8 and call yourself a professional photographer?” I’ll end the discussion explaining that the person asking the question has a camera ten times better than mine with the sacred f/2.8 lens, yet they aren’t making their living at photography. I have groceries to buy. I don’t need to look like a pro with a top-of-the-line camera. I’d rather not stand out in the crowd. If I’m shooting at a big fashion event in NYC, some of the fashion models have $20,000 cameras (their toys that they don’t know how to use) hanging off their sides and there’s me with my $1600 camera that many consider inadequate. If I was making $50,000 for my day’s work, then I might consider owning the $20,000 beast. But you’re lucky if these things last four or five years. It’s easier

to replace a $1600 camera every four years. People who confuse bigger gear with professionalism are often the ones with their cameras set on “burst” or bracketing mode, taking several photos with each click of the shutter button, hoping beyond hope that they’ll, by chance, capture a great photo. Why not simply get to know your camera inside and out and take one well composed and well lit shot every five minutes instead of several every second? As for having that super pro camera that does everything except braid your hair, I’ll point you in the direction of Vivian Maier (1926–2009) and Arthur (Weegee) Fellig (1899–1968). They were getting their stunning street shots with equipment that was superb in its era, but would be considered ancient relics today. So, which camera to buy? Do you want to be a street photographer? As mentioned, the Fuji XT-1 is as good as you can get for street. Remember, on the street, smaller is better. Any camera from the Canon Rebel series can do a great job as an all-around camera, without breaking the bank. If you want to capture your kid’s indoor sports events, that’s going to cost you. You’ll need a lens with a maximum aperture of at least f/4, and more likely f/2.8. That lens (e.g., the Canon 70-200 mm f/2.8) is going to cost you. Consider a non-brand selection to save a small fortune. If you have cash to blow, I can guarantee it won’t make you a better photographer. You’ll improve by challenging yourself in difficult situations. Low light. No light. Fast action. Practice, practice, practice. Find someone to serve as a mentor. Suzy Lamont and I offer workshops together. We also each offer private mentoring sessions. Take a few lessons, participate in some workshops, take a continuing education class or two at St. Lawrence College. But mostly, get out there and work with your camera. To reach Suzy and I for advice, simply email markaidanbergin@gmail.com or suzylamont@gmail. com. I have had students in my St. Lawrence College classes whose work has blown me away. Not one of them is using an expensive pro camera. But each of them has a creative heart, and that’s what it takes. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

of this design. This is the only style of belt I use now when replacing or ordering a spare for my vehicles. The most recent problem involved a 4.3 L GM engine in an inboard/outboard boat. The whine was aggravating the passengers and no problems could be found with any bearings or the idler pulley.  Keep up the good articles.” Dave

With a vehicle of that age there are a multitude of things that might be causing these symptoms. There were a number of bulletins relating to spark plug wire boots and such. There was also a recall for ignition switch failures for a limited number of these trucks requiring a wiring kit due to overheating of the circuits caused by high-speed heater fan operation. You can find out if this vehicle is involved by calling any authorized FCA (Fiat Chrysler Auto) dealer and having them run the serial number of the truck on their recall database. The most likely culprit is the engine camshaft sensor located at the left side of the front timing chain cover. It works in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to coordinate fuel injection and spark plug firing. Without a diagnostic code to help trace this problem, anything any tech does will be a crapshoot. There was also a bulletin on updating the engine computer software for misfire problems. I’d suggest if you’re interested in keeping this on the road getting this resolved as soon as possible as an engine that cuts out without warning can put you and others at risk. But even with an experienced tech and the right equipment you may spend some serious coin to get this resolved. It would be a good idea to get the entire truck checked over first to see if it has any other major problems. “Hi Brian,  I enjoy reading your column as I am always looking for information regarding mechanical problems. I worked as a maintenance engineer for 30 years, which involved troubleshooting mechanical equipment. My hobbies have always involved auto repairs. I just wanted to add a suggestion regarding belt and pulley noises. I have solved some situations where there was a habitual ‘whining’ noise by installing a serpentine belt such as the Goodyear ‘Gatorback’. These belts have angle grooves opposite to the v-grooves in the belt. I am sure you are aware

Thanks for the readership and great belt tip. Yes I am aware of Goodyear’s ‘gator’ belts and they are known to outlast the competition as well as solving noises such as yours. As automakers try to jam more and more technology into their products, it’s refreshing to hear of a solution that minimizes additional distractions to drivers. The Bosch Group of companies has come up with such an answer in their new ‘active gas pedal’. Rather than distract a driver with visual or audio instrument panel cues, this new active gas pedal uses vibrations, variable counter-pressures, and knocks to advise the driver on a variety of circumstances. It can help drivers achieve up to seven per cent better fuel economy by giving them feedback on when to shift a manual transmission and how to reduce engine loads on an automatic transmission equipped engine. It can also be used in conjunction with collision mitigation features to warn of upcoming dangers or obstacles on the road ahead by increasing the pressure required to depress the gas pedal. On gasoline/electric hybrids, this gas pedal with a brain can help operators keep the vehicle in electriconly drive mode longer by giving them a gentle foot warning as to when the gasoline engine is about to engage. Bosch engineers and designers know from prototype demonstrations that it only takes a short time of driving with this feature to create more fuel efficient and safe driving habits; things we could all benefit from. No word yet from Bosch as to which carmakers will use this feature and when. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Considering the possible demise of Daryl Dixon, esquire Column — By the time most of you read this, Feb. 14, 2015 will have come and gone. The date is significant not because it’s Valentine’s Day. Even though it’s the date of the Frontenac Heritage Festival’s popular Polar Bear Plunge, believe it or not, there is something else of import happening. Feb. 14, 2016 is the date AMC’s The Walking Dead returns to the airwaves for the resumption of Season 6. Since the series took its annual hiatus in December, there has been no end of speculation as to what will happen in the cliffhangers left, and in particular — who will die. A lot of characters die in The Walking Dead. In many respects,

the series is similar to HBO’s Game of Thrones, particularly in the case of killing off characters. Game of Thrones has been especially ruthless about its characters, even killing off such huge fan favourites as Ned and Robb Stark, and Jon Snow (who is, however rumoured to be coming back, resurrected in the same way The Lightning Lord was). Just being popular with fans does not guarantee survival in Game of Thrones. While the head count is every bit as deep in The Walking Dead, they do seem more reluctant to kill off popular characters, even to the point of teasing Glen’s death only to have him survive by swift thinking and more than a little bit of luck. However, that does not mean he’s out of the woods for another six seasons. In fact, nobody is really safe as major characters from the TV show have been killed off

before their counterparts in the comic series on which the TV show is based. Foremost of these is likely Andrea, who met her end at the hands of The Governor on TV a couple of seasons back. In the comics, Andrea is still alive and well and coupled with the story’s main character, Rick Grimes. Andrea wasn’t necessarily a fan favourite but other characters sacrificed to the ratings gods have been (Herschel, Tyreese, Beth and Buttons the horse come to mind). All of which brings us to the game of bones — who’s going to die before Season 6 ends? There’s a lot of speculation (on the internet anyways) that Daryl Dixon will be gone. This would be a huge mistake. Although he’s not in the comics (ie

a character created just for the TV show), he’s become integral to the group and easily the coolest character on TV in a long time. That is unless you count Michonne, who’s also pretty cool. Michonne’s probably pretty safe though because she’s also in the comics and has some pretty important stuff yet to do, assuming the TV show continues to follow (mostly) the comic storylines. Of the major characters, Rick, Carl, Maggie and Michonne are probably safe. Daryl, on the other hand, has really no unfulfilled storyline to play out. But if they have to kill off a major character, Morgan, Glen and Abraham die in the

comics so let’s hope the hunter continues on.

Hail Caesar a messy but captivating character piece My Take

Hail Caesar is long, there’s no real point to any of it, and not much actually happens. The whole thing is kind of a mess, but it was my kind of mess.

out of the movie business. Before Mannix can even consider leaving there’s one or two small matters he has to deal with.

How to determine if downsizing is for you

As men and women retire or approach retirement age, many opt to downsize their homes. Such a decision can save older adults substantial amounts of money while also liberating them from the hassle of maintaining large homes they no longer need. Downsizing to smaller homes or apartments is a significant step, one that homeowners should give ample consideration before making their final decisions. The following are a handful of tips to help homeowners determine if downsizing to smaller homes is the right move. • Get a grip on the real estate market. Downsizing is not solely about money, but it’s important that homeowners consider the real estate market before putting their homes up for sale. Speak with a local realtor or your financial advisor about the current state of your real estate market. Downsizing can help homeowners save money on utilities, taxes and mortgage payments, but those savings may be negated if you sell your house in a buyer’s market instead of a seller’s market. If you think the current market won’t get you the price you are hoping for, delay your downsize until the market rebounds. • Take inventory of what’s in your house. Empty nesters often find that their homes are still filled with their children’s possessions, even long after those children have entered adulthood and left home. If the storage in your home is dominated by items that belong to your children and not you, then downsizing might be right for you. Tell your children you are thinking of downsizing and invite them over to pick through any items still in your home. Once they have done so and taken what they want, you can host a yard sale, ultimately donating or discarding what you cannot sell. Once all of the items are gone, you may realize that moving into a smaller place is the financially prudent decision.

If travel is not high on your retirement to-do list but you have a hobby, such as crafting, restoring classic cars or woodworking, that you hope to turn into a second profession, then you might benefit from staying put and converting your existing space into a workshop. Many retirees downsize their homes, but this decision requires careful consideration of a variety of factors.

Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling real estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable interior. Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home can take on a more appealing look.

Clean up A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps can improve curb appeal instantly. Spruce up the lawn A well-manicured lawn can go a long way to making a home more appealing. If your thumb is anything but green, hire a professional lawn and garden service to help you establish a lush, green lawn.

Easy and budget-friendly ways to add curb appeal

SALES REPRESENTATIVE

SELLING KINGSTON SINCE 88

Dress to impress The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of color canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terra-cotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional.

Rely on symmetry Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items really can have an impact. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget lighting Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property. Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few people enjoy approaching a dark home, and outdoor lighting can ensure your property always is well-lit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable both day and night. Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in how others view your home.
