Kingston seeks improved truck safety in severe weather

NEWS — Kingston politicians are calling on the provincial government to implement new safety measures to keep truckers from hauling hazardous cargo in bad weather. Councillors approved a motion at their April 4 meeting, by a vote of 10-1, calling on government officials to help avoid a repeat of last month’s fatal multi-vehicle crash and toxic chemical spill on Highway 401, east of Gananoque. “On really nasty days no hazardous materials should be getting transported,” said Coun. Jim Neill, who introduced the safety motion. During a March 14 blizzard, about 30 vehicles, including several tractor trailers, were involved in the massive highway pileup. A 45-year-old transport driver from Hamilton was killed and his truck spilled the highly corrosive fluorosilicic acid onto the highway. The spill prompted an area evacuation and a code orange alert at Kingston General Hospital. Dozens of people, including first responders, were treated in hospital for possible exposure to the toxic chemical. The 401 was also closed for over a day during the cleanup. Neill says even though the highway and the transport of hazardous materials are regulated by upper levels of government, it’s the local emergency officials such as fire fighters, police and paramedics who are on the front lines of response. The City of Kingston marked the Vimy Ridge centennial with a parade and cere“The first responders that attend to these kind of accidents mony on Sunday, April 9.

Healthcare, university administrators top sunshine list for Kingston BY HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

The most recent version of the Public Sector Salary Disclosure list, also known as the “Sunshine List”, was released on March 31, disclosing the salaries of all Ontario provincial government employees who were paid $100,000 or more in 2016. Locally, the highest earners are health care administrators and workers, as well as university officials. Here’s a closer look at a few of the highlights: President and CEO Jim Flett was the highest earner at Kingston General Hospital, making $466,963.85; Dr. David Zelt, executive vice president and chief of staff, was the secondhighest at $340,629.98. A total of four KGH employees made over $300,000 last year. M. Catherine Szabo, president and chief executive of Providence Care, earned

$336,770.31, while the chief executive officer at Hotel Dieu Hospital, Dr. David Pichora, made $257,373.02. Dr. Ian Gemmill, medical officer of health and CEO of KFL &amp; A Public Health, made $289,739.80. Hundreds of other local hospital employees, mostly doctors, are also on the list. The City of Kingston also has hundreds of employees making over $100,000 per year, including police officers, firefighters and administrators. The top earner was the city’s chief administrative officer, Gerard Hunt, who made $222,081.48. Police Chief Gilles Larochelle was the second-highest city earner at $209,709.87. Queen’s principal Daniel Woolf took home $360,000 last year, but five Queen’s employees actually earned more, including Health Sciences dean Richard Reznik, who topped the list at $422,403.32.

President and CEO of St. Lawrence College, Glenn Vollebregt, made $263,619.98 in 2016. Director of education with the Limestone District School Board, Debra Rantz, made $208,000 last year and her counterpart over at the Algonquin Lakeshore District School Board, Jody Dirocco, made $204,150.30. Jeff Lyash, CEO of Ontario Power Generation, tops the sunshine list after earning nearly $1.2 million last year, including $1,155,900 in pay and $9,800 in taxable benefits. The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, which states that provincial employees making over $100,000 annually must have their salaries made public, was passed in 1996 by the Mike Harris government.

Tragically Hip recognized for supporting brain cancer research in Kingston BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recognized Kingston hometown heroes the Tragically Hip for their support of brain cancer research. A commemorative plaque was presented to the band in honour of their support for cancer clinical trials at the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) on Tuesday, April 4. Since the announcement last year that the Hip’s frontman Gord Downie has glioblastoma (an aggressive form of brain cancer), many Canadians have shown their support through donations to the CCS. Overall, fans of the Hip

have donated $400,000 to the CCS for brain cancer research, and donations will allow researchers to continue to make significant progress against the disease. Band members Rob Baker and Gord Sinclair were on hand to unveil the commemorative plaque, and Sinclair spoke briefly following the unveiling. "From the moment that Gord Downie was diagnosed, the outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming," said Sinclair. "What we experienced on tour last summer was inspiring and life-affirming. People rallied around Gord, around our group and around our music, and also around the disease."

Sinclair also took the opportunity to thank the researchers at the CCTG for all that they do. "The people that work in this clinic and across the country deserve our support.

Through their hard work, we are able to see this disease in a different light," he said. "We owe you a great debt of thanks and we feel very fortunate to call Kingston home, and you can count on our continuing support."

Hazardous highways: Kingston seeks improved truck safety in severe weather Continued from page 1

While councillors agree more safety measures need to be studied, many weren’t comfortable with the wording of the motion that asked the province to “prohibit the transportation of all hazardous materials during severe weather conditions.” Instead, they softened the resolution to seek “additional safety measures including prohibition” of trucks hauling dangerous cargo.

“There are thousands of vehicles that travel the 401 every day and an outright prohibition for the transport of hazardous materials may not be practical,” explained Mayor Bryan Paterson, who urged more flexibility. He added: “My concern is that if you want to start a conversation at the provincial level, the best way to do that is to keep the door open to allow for all kinds of different measures and potential safety measures.”

Coun. Ryan Boehme voiced concerns that requiring some trucks to pull over in bad weather could create highway gridlock after a storm has passed, adding it “could be another recipe for disaster.” The resolution is directed to the Ontario ministries of Transportation (MTO) and Environment and Climate Change, and copies will also be sent to MPP Sophie Kiwala, MP Mark Gerretsen, opposition leaders and all Ontario municipalities with populations over 40,000. Neill hopes Kingston’s resolution will gain

traction in other communities and at Queen’s Park. His intention is to let experts decide how to regulate or restrict hazardous truck traffic on bad weather days. “I would hope the MTO, in consultation with the trucking industry, could work out a logical protocol that would allow that to happen.” Coun. Laura Turner, the motion’s lone opponent, says the highway safety matter is outside municipal jurisdiction. “All of a sudden we are becoming weathermen and we are the Ministry of Transportation.”

Kingston Police provide further details regarding April 3 assault and shooting incident BY CRIS VILELA cmpvilela@gmail.com

In a news conference on Thursday, April 6, Kingston police provided further details regarding the Beverley Street incident which led to a male barricading himself inside a home on Compton Street on Monday, April 3. Det. Clint Wills confirmed that at around 3:15 p.m. on Monday afternoon, a 911 call was received that a woman was being assaulted by a man in a vehicle, and further that shots had been fired into a home on Beverley Street. Investigation revealed

that the male had been waiting for the female to leave a nearby workplace and intercepted her as she was walking her bike northbound on Beverley Street toward Union Street on her way home. The man attempted to force the woman, his estranged spouse, into the vehicle. When she refused, he became belligerent and assaulted her. He nearly succeeded in forcing her into the vehicle, but she narrowly escaped. The man fled the area in his vehicle, a blue SUV, after the woman took refuge inside a nearby home, said Wills.

She was treated for injuries by Frontenac paramedics and transported to hospital. Wills said that the injuries were caused by strikes from the end of a shotgun and were non-life-threatening. Police says that the shots fired at the home, a student residence on Beverley Street, were slugs from a 12-gauge shotgun. The man had no permit for a firearm and the weapon was not registered to him. Kingston police believe both drugs and alcohol may have been a factor in the altercation. Contrary to some reports at the time of the incident, no schools were locked down as a result of the altercation, said Wills. He also confirmed that

no children were involved at any time. The man was located a short time later at his home on Compton Street, where he barricaded himself. The home and surrounding area were cordoned off as police attempted to negotiate for his safe surrender. Shortly after 11 p.m., police forced their way in and discovered that the man was dead. The Compton Street portion of the incident remains under SIU investigation and as such Kingston police cannot provide any further information until it is completed. The identities of the man and woman were not released.

Promises, promises... BY JIM NEILL

We live in increasingly cynical times. Government and elected officials are distrusted by many, leading to a political apathy that leads too often to low voter turnout. The exception to this rule is the rare election where there is a strong sense that it is time for real change. We witnessed that in the aftermath of the Bush presidency and the Obama election in the U.S.; to a certain extent, the last federal election saw a similar mood for change after the Harper years, sweeping Trudeau to power. The clear promise stated in the 2015 Liberal platform was, “We are committed to ensuring that 2015 will be the last federal election under the first

past-the-post voting system.” Early in the term a number of public consultation meetings were held across the country to explore electoral reform. Although no clear single model reached a consensus, there was a real sense that change was needed. Like so many other western democracies, Canada needed to ensure that every citizen’s vote would count. We could motivate our voters to cast a ballot no matter how “safe” their riding might be. The voices and votes of all Canadians need to count. Pro-electoral reform group Leadnow estimates that, “In the last election, the votes of nine million people were effectively wasted, that’s almost half of the total of people who voted.” Now the federal Liberals are backing away from this pledge halfway

Selling your house?

through their term. I’m sure they feel that the electorate will forgive and forget this transgression before the next election. Perhaps they should look to their Ontario provincial colleagues for a cautionary tale. During previous elections Premier Wynne publically stated that she had no intention of further privatizing Hydro One. She would also ensure stability in our Hydro Rates. Both promises were too soon forgotten after being elected. The consequences? The Ontario Liberal Government now sits in third spot in the polls and Wynne’s personal popularity is now at an all-time low for a sitting Premier, at 12 per cent. The takeaway is that promises clearly do matter. The strength of living in a connected Wi-Fi era is the power and ability

for civic engagement groups to reach out with petitions and news of public actions. In Ontario the We Own It campaign has gathered names on petitions and held public meetings across the province. They have gone well beyond just lobbying just about Hydro One privatization. Similarly, Fair Vote Canada have organized an online petition and a large number of public meetings to protest the abandonment of electoral reform by the Trudeau Liberals. The result of both these groups’ actions is hundreds of thousands of names on petitions and many crowded public meetings. This sends a clear message to both Trudeau and Wynne, and to all local MPs and MPPs. There is a multi-partisan public meeting scheduled for Kingston on

EDITORIAL Bigger isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always better when it comes to going to the movies

Going to the movies has always been something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed and luckily, it is also something that Korey enjoys. We go to theatres on a pretty regular basis, probably at least once a month depending on the time of year and our schedules. Over the years, there have been a lot of changes at movie theatres: prices have inevitably gone up, some theatres now serve alcohol (a welcome addition), and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the addition of things like 3D movies and now even movies where the seats move, just like that ride at Wonderland. All of these changes are necessary, I suppose, in order to keep people interested, but I could do without a few; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a big fan of 3D movies. I get that 3D is designed to make people feel like they are part of the movie experience, but for me, I just get frustrated with the glasses and end up leaving with a headache. I also see little value in the 3D aspect of movies and often it is a bit overdone. And on top of all that, I am never going to watch that movie again in that way so if I really loved it in 3D wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I just be disappointed later? Anyways, enough about 3D, when I thought about writing this column originally, I thought about the more unconventional movie theatre experiences I have had lately and none

of those involved 3D, moving seats or even gigantic screens. Recently, Korey and I have been going to the Screening Room to see films that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offered at larger theatres. It started last year when the Screening Room hosted a series over the month of November paying tribute to Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. If that name doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ring a bell, the film Spirited Away might; it is Miyazakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous film to date. Every Saturday in November, the Screening Room featured a different Miyazaki film and we decided to check it out. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived in Kingston for almost five years now and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a bit embarrassed to admit that I had never been to the independent theatre before, but I was pleasantly surprised. The theatres and screens are smaller, but the seats are comfy and for films that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blockbusters, do you really need a larger screen? It was also neat to see films that were made almost 20 years ago in a theatre. This series inspired Korey and I to pay more attention to what the Screening Room offered on a regular basis and we were surprised to see so many documentaries, independent films and even local films on their rotation. These are films that we may have watched on Netflix, if they became available, and the fact that we

could see them on a larger screen at a downtown theatre was pretty appealing. Last month, we returned to the Screening Room to see Kedi, a Turkish documentary about stray cats in Istanbul. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard of it, look it up and watch the trailer, I guarantee you will be hooked. The film was fantastic and without the Screening Room, who knows if we would have seen it. This month, the theatre is also doing an encore presentation of some of the films that were featured at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kingston Canadian Film Festival. These screenings are open to anyone and free of charge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not something you would expect a typical theatre to offer. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a bit sad that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know think to explore this independent theatre before, but I am happy we did eventually come across it. I enjoy the fact that the theatre is a bit kitschy, that their prices are cheaper and that they feature smaller films and even older films and the fact that we are also supporting a local downtown business is an added bonus. I would encourage everyone and anyone in Kingston to check out this local gem and take a break from the 3D, seat rocking, movie experiences that have become the norm.

In Our Opinion

Give the gift of life: April is organ donation month April is BeADonor.ca month in Ontario. What better time to remind our readers about the importance of organ donation in our community? Â Did you know that by becoming an organ donor, you can save the lives of up to eight different people? The Transplant Advocate Association is a Kingston-area-based charitable association with a mission to provide support, knowledge and encouragement to those touched by organ and tissue transplantation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heading up local initiatives to spread the word about the need for organ donation.Â Â One of these initiatives is entitled The Kingston Challenge, and the goal is to encourage Kingstonians to become the municipality (over 100,000 population) with the highest rate of organ donation in the province. Presently, Kingston is number three, behind Barrie at 49 per cent and Sudbury at 52 per cent.Â Â This year, the Transplant Advocate Association is focusing on individuals who believe that they are registered organ donors, however, for a variety of reasons, may not actually be. Many people believe that when they sign a donor card and keep it in their wallet, they are indeed registered. However, there is now an authoritative online registry that doctors use as their source. They encourage prospective donors to check their status to ensure that it reflects their wish atÂ https://beadonor.ca. Â Most important, however, the Transplant Advocate Association recommends discussing your wishes directly with your immediate family; that way, doctors can easily be made aware of your wishes in the event of a personal tragedy. On Sunday, April 23 at 1:30 p.m., the TAA is hosting an event called Celebration of Life, to celebrate the lives saved by organ transplant and honouring organ donors and donor families. It will be held at the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and the public is welcome. Anyone planning to attend can RSVP to info@transplantadvocateassociation.ca. Â

Vimy Ridge: All about remembering BY MARG KNOTT

Our youngest grandson Daniel, 16, is on his way to France with classmates from École Secondaire Catholique Marie-Rivier in Kingston, to attend commemorative events being held at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on April 9, 2017 to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the Battle of Vimy Ridge. He will be one of thousands of young Canadians who will be there to learn more about Canada’s military history. We tend to forget (or want to forget) that war is about the young. Daniel goes with family stories about his great grandfather from Port Arthur who volunteered, joining the army (Little Black Devils) in 1914 departing for Europe, and who at age 22 was gassed at the second Battle of Ypres, survived and taken as a prisoner of war for 3 years. He returned to Canada in 1919 after the end of the war. He said little or nothing about his experience for years. Daniel has also heard the stories of other relatives on both sides of the family who served in the military at that time or during the Second World War, the Korean War, and in the military, as does his brother Will (RCAF). But it is the stories of the bravery of the thousands of young Canadians, who volunteered to serve their county, and who fought at Vimy Ridge that has captured the imagination of Canadian youth. And they go to France knowing also about the losses of many Canadians and their bravery at the second Battle of Ypres, Flanders Fields, the Somme, Hill 70, Passchendaele, the Hindenburg Line, and others. They know about the 100 days in 1918 lead-

ing to Mons and the Armistice in November 1918. They go to honour and remember a time in Canada’s history that can not, must not, be forgotten. We try to forget that war is about the young. Wolfe Island does not have a War Memorial, per se. Nor was Remembrance Day officially acknowledged on the island until 1994 when a plaque was erected that expresses worthy sentiments regarding the service of island citizens to their county in the military in times of war and peace. A First Remembrance Day event was held at the WI town hall that year. And

one has been held every year since then. First organized by the Women’s Institutes and the CWL, the service is ecumenical in nature, included the island’s schoolchildren, and was hosted by CAO Terry O’Shea on behalf of the township. Simple in its presentation, Remembrance Day has become an important occasion for the community to come together along with officer cadets from RMC/CMR, and members of CFB Kingston.

Vimy Ridge: All about remembering Continued from page 9

Now it is organized by community representatives, associations and individuals along with the township. Like the Vimy anniversary, it is about remembering.

On Remembrance Day 2003, WI resident (now Brig. General) David Paterson, spoke of researching the lives of six island casualties of war whose names he had heard read at the service in 1999, and of visiting four of the six memorials and graves of the men in Europe.

Over the years Patterson provided more information about WI born Irwin Kelly, who died at the age of 21 at the Hindenburg Line during the last days of the First World War; and of Frank Payne an island airman who died in an air campaign leading up to Operation Husky in 1943 -recorded as missing on an RAF Memorial in Malta. And in 1915 came news concerning Frederick Leonard Davis, born on WI and farmed in Joyceville, with the PPCLI and struck down in action near Cambrai, Oct. 10 1918, and buried one month before the war ended.

City makes St. Peter Catholic School purchase in Kingscourt a ‘priority’ BY BILL HUTCHINS

News— The City of Kingston is eying another school site for purchase. Councillors approved a recommendation to make the public acquisition of St. Peter Catholic elementary school in Kingscourt a “priority.” The school on Seventh Avenue is expected to be declared surplus this fall by the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. “It would be wonderful to see the enhancement of recreational space on that site,” said Coun. Mary Rita Holland, whose district includes the school. The recommendation to buy the property came from a community working group that looked at four inner city schools that are earmarked for closure. The group examined the pros and cons of municipal ownership of First Avenue Public School, Frontenac Public School, St. Patrick Catholic School and St. Peter Catholic School. The group settled on St. Peter as the preferred site based on several reasons: -it’s located next to Ron Lavallee Park and the extra land

is well suited for additional recreation use and community gardens; -there’s extra room to construct some low density affordable housing; -adding parkland through St. Peter’s school property would help to compensate for the loss of some park space at nearby First Avenue school. Councillors voted unanimously to proceed with the school’s acquisition at their April 4 meeting. Holland says buying the 2.1-acre site would expand parkland in an area of the city that’s considered underserviced. “Ron Lavallee Park at the rear of school is already a highly-used public space. And to have the whole stretch developed for public use would be incredible for the area.” The citizens' working group was established last fall in an attempt to make the school purchase process more transparent. The group met a couple of times in March to review the four former schools that may be up for sale in the next few years. The sites were evaluated based on public needs for recreation, parks, social,

transportation, housing and culture, while also reviewing financial constraints. City officials, who have made it clear they don’t have enough money to buy all of the school properties, also support the purchase of St. Peter’s school. They say it could be funded by debt and paid back over time as parkland reserve funds are replenished. “Although staff do not have detailed appraisals for school properties, the working group was informed that the value could be estimated to be between $2 million to $2.5 million, and the operations of a community/recreation centre would be an additional $400,000 to $500,000 per year,” according to a staff report. Holland cautioned that even though the city is interested in the school there is no guarantee it will fall under municipal ownership. “There’s a ranking system that gives others first option to purchase. We’re not there yet, but this means we’d like to pursue the option and find the funds to pay for it if we do go forward.” Officials haven’t decided

Supporting our Community Make a House your Home

on other key issues such as whether the 10,000 square foot school would be kept as a community building, or demolished. Mayor Bryan Paterson also thanked the working group for

giving council some crucial advice. “St. Peter’s probably has the greatest potential for acquisition by the city.” Kingston’s last purchase of a mothballed school was in 2016 when it paid $2.2 million

for the former St. Joseph’s-St. Mary’s property at 671 Brock St. The school building has since been demolished and the 1.5-acre site is to have mixed uses of public/private housing and park space.

News — City councillors have formally adopted new rules to govern their conduct, but not without some confusion and trepidation. The need for a revised code of conduct was brought to the forefront following a recent integrity commissioner’s ruling that found Coun. Adam Candon “inadvertently” breached the code.

to support last fall. However, no sanctions were imposed against the rookie councillor, in part, because he had sought prior independent legal advice that assured him his vote in the Capitol project was ethical. Candon remains unimpressed with the updated conduct rules, adding they are too vague and subjective and could make it even harder for councillors to steer clear of any potential conflicts of interest in the future. “Why are we overcomplicating this?” asked the exasperated councillor. Councillors held a special meeting March 29 to discuss the new ethical framework and public complaints protocol, drafted by Toronto lawyers Janet Leiper and John Mascarin. A key recommendation of the report is for the city to retain an integrity commissioner “on an ongoing basis” to advise councillors on whether their actions could be deemed in violation of the code, along with powers to investigate their actions. “You need to get someone who knows about this area,” Mascarin told councillors.

Duo bring 'unique and exciting' axe-throwing experience to Kingston BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

The idea of throwing an axe at a wooden target may not seem fun to some people, but Storm Patterson encourages Kingstonians to give it a try. "It is really unique and there is nothing else like it," he said. "There is just something exciting and barbaric about throwing a lethal weapon and it just brings out the competitive side in people." Patterson tried axe-throwing once and he was hooked. He and his business partner, Callum Owen, visited an axe-throwing facility in Toronto two years ago and they immediately saw potential in the business. "It was something that we had heard great things about, we wanted to try it and we loved it," said Patterson." But we also saw an opportunity to do it better and we knew that nobody had done anything like this in Kingston." Patterson and Owen are no strangers to starting a unique business in Kingston; in 2014, the duo opened CrossFit on Queen, a CrossFit gym in the basement of Queen Street United Church. That business is still going strong and they reached out to the same real estate agent when they decided to move forward with their axe-throwing idea in mid-2016. "We found this great space and

it used to be the Alcan factory," explained Patterson. "There was basically nothing in the space and it has transformed now into this great space with axe-throwing lanes and hopefully more in the future." They had hoped to open in late 2016, but construction took longer than expected. Kingston AxeThrowing officially opened in the middle of March. They were greeted with open arms from Kingstonians eager to give the new recreational activity a try.

"The response has been really great and we have had a lot of great Facebook reviews. People seem to really enjoy their experience," said Patterson. "We are working on getting our website up and running and that will make bookings easier." So how does it all work? Patterson knows that axe-throwing may be intimidating to some, but each session starts off with training and some practice rounds with judges before the competition gets underway. "We then have a round-robin

tournament and that consists of five throws in a round, then that determines who faces off in the final tournament," he explained. "It is a lot of fun and I've seen people who don't think that they are competitive and not into sports get really into it and want to win." Bookings can range from groups of six people up to 50. Kingston Axe-Throwing is also fully licensed to serve alcohol, something the owners hope adds to the fun, but they are also very focused on keeping everyone safe. "People may be a bit hesitant about that, but we are really strict in our policies and it is a very controlled environment," said Patterson. "We want people to have fun, but not get out of hand." They also have snacks to go along with the food and they are happy to help facilitate outside orders of food as well. "We want to go above and beyond expectations whenever we can," said Patterson. "We want to greet everyone when they come in, we want to bring beverages over to them and we want to create a community within the entire space and not just isolate people to their space with their booking." With that, Patterson also invites people to stick around after their booking and cheer on other groups

or practice their throwing for next time. "As long as nobody else is booked on the lane, we want people to feel like they don’t have to just pick up and leave right away," he said. "We want people to feel welcome." Patterson hopes that as word gets out about the activity more people will give it a try, and he encourages everyone — of all ages and abilities — to come out. "It is just something new and I think everyone needs to experience it," he said. "It is accessible to anyone and the only age limit we have is whether or not the person is strong enough to throw the axe in a safe manor. That is our main concern." He hopes that Kingston AxeThrowing will become a destination in the city and something people think of when they are looking for a fun night out. "We have escape rooms, pool tables, darts, go karting and mini-putt and a lot of different recreational sports in Kingston, but this is just unique and different and a lot of fun," he said. "Plus, there is something about nailing a bullseye with an axe, it just gets everyone so excited and that is worth a shot." Kingston Axe-Throwing is located at 785 Sir John A Macdonald Blvd., Unit 7 and for more information visit their Facebook page.

Council adopts new conduct rules, though some remain unimpressed Continued from page 12

Leiper describes the integrity commissioner’s role as 80 per cent adviser and 20 per cent investigator. Candon, still stung by his integrity ruling, says he remains even less comfortable about the line between his private and public jobs

than he did before. “A lot of people came into this room extremely confused. Me being one of them. We’re going to leave confused.” The first-term councillor later told reporters that he won’t be seeking re-election in 2018. He fears the person who is hired to be coun-

cil’s integrity watchdog will have extraordinary powers over elected officials. “They’re going to have a God complex.” However, during the nearly four-hour long briefing, Leiper insisted the role is to help councillors to avoid trouble. “It is intended to be supportive, even if it doesn’t feel that way when the ruling doesn’t go your way.” It was Leiper who was hired by council to investigate public complaints against Candon’s business connection to the Capitol project, and ruled against his behaviour. It led to some awkward and frustrating moments during the question-and-answer session. Coun. Ryan Boehme described the code’s wording as more “grey and subjective” than black and white. “I am more confused than ever with this as to what’s apparent and what’s real.”

Boehme complained that if some politicians are grappling with understanding the rule book changes, then the average citizen will be confused as well. Leiper replied: “It will never be black and white. That’s the nature of a conflict.” Boehme asked if the revised code could include specific examples to guide politicians about potential conflicts. Leiper recommended against including examples in the actual wording of the code, but suggested they could be added onto the city’s website as part of a broader education campaign for council and the community. Coun. Jim Neill supports the updated rules. “I’m OK with it. There were answers to some tough questions and I’m satisfied with those answers.” The code outlines a set of

expectations for elected officials to follow, such as: not accepting gifts or payment; performing their duties and arranging their private affairs in a manner that promotes public confidence and will bear public scrutiny; performing their functions with integrity, accountability and transparency; and avoiding the improper use of influence of their office and conflicts of interest, both apparent and real. In addition to guiding the behaviour of elected officials, the new rules outline a clear process for citizens to follow if they want to file a formal or informal complaint. The integrity commissioner would have the authority to fully investigate any complaint, seek a compromise resolution or reject a complaint. The commissioner could also launch a self-investigation without any complaint being filed if there are reason-

able grounds to do so. In any case, the councillor who is being investigated would be informed. Officials told council that the Ontario government is currently in the process of changing the transparency laws in Bill 68 that will compel municipalities to tighten their codes of conduct and to hire an integrity commissioner. The bylaw implementing Kingston’s revised code and complaints process was finalized at a subsequent council meeting on April 4. Neill, who resisted hiring a political watchdog two years ago, now says council business is becoming too complex to do without one. “It’s more complex, particularly with the amount of potential building that’s going on. We have a very vigilant community. I don’t say that despairingly.”

J.G. Simcoe Public School ‘lights it up blue’ for autism awareness BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

Blue was the colour of the day on April 3 at J.G. Simcoe Public School. To kick off Autism Awareness Month, students, staff and parents gathered for the school’s annual assembly aimed at educating and raising awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). “This is our third annual event,” explained Karen Zabel, Autism Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) program teacher at J.G. Simcoe. “We wanted a way to highlight our students and a way to educate the other students in the school about what autism is and try and bring the students together.” The assembly featured singing, dancing, educational videos, a visit from Blue Bear, the autism mascot, a flag raising, cake and some of the students in the IBI program at J.G. Simcoe. There are currently seven students in the program, but there are also a number of students on the spectrum in classrooms throughout the school and more are being

diagnosed all the time. “There was actually a mom asking me today about who she should go to in terms of getting a diagnosis, because through the education programs within the school, she has started to wonder about her son,” said Zabel. “Every year we find parents or students coming forward in this way because of these assemblies and that is why we do this. We want people to feel comfortable talking about autism.” Attendees at the assembly also heard from 12-year-old Kourtney Banks, a student at J.G. Simcoe with highspectrum autism. Banks shared some of her experiences with her schoolmates in the hopes of helping them better understand her and autism in general. “The opportunity came up and I thought I should do it to help out,” she said following the assembly. “I wanted to spread the word to people about autism and some people may know about different levels of autism, but we are all different and I want people to know

that some people with autism need extra support.” At the assembly, Banks explained that sometimes it is hard for her to communicate with people and she also struggles with restlessness because of her autism. “You can’t control yourself and I can’t stop myself from doing things and at home I just run around my room when I get restless and that annoys my family,” she said. “Growing up, I’ve experienced people judging me for my differences and that has been hard for me.” Banks explained that she wanted her classmates to know more about autism so that they can better understand her and hopefully be more accepting of her and others with similar symptoms. “Treat autistic people like you would nonautistic people and give them some extra support,” she said. The assemblies have also been beneficial for Banks’ mom. “These assemblies gave her the ability to talk about autism with Kourtney and explain more about her di-

agnosis,” said Zabel. “And that is what these events and awareness month is all about.” The events of the day concluded with a flag raising outside of the school and Zabel hopes that the conversations keep happening throughout the month of April and throughout the year at the school. “We want people and students to understand how we can be more inclusive and accepting of our friends with autism,” she said. “If they see a student on the playground who is upset, they can think about why and be more understanding and more compassionate.”

Over $20k paid to Loyalist Township Council members for expenses in 2016 BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

INSTALLS DESIGN & INSTALLATION

BEAUTIFUL& FUNCTIONAL We can design and install your dream kitchen or bathroom.

News – The seven members of Loyalist Township Council received a combined $184,366.63 in remunerations and expenses for 2016, and just over $20,000 of that was in car allowance and mileage, according to a recent report. Council received the Loyalist councillor remuneration and expenses report for 2016 at their meeting on Monday, Mar. 27. The document, prepared by the Township’s deputy treasurer and finance supervisor, outlines the monies paid to members of Council and Township representatives on local boards for their work in the 2016 year. These reports have made public annually since 2001, as per the Ontario Municipal Act. For councillor remuneration and expenses, the Township’s report for 2016 breaks the figures down into five categories: base remuneration, benefits, car allowance and mileage, expenses paid directly to member, and expenses paid to a third party. The aforementioned car allowance and mileage costs totalled $20,708.15. Of that total, $6,576.40 was received by Mayor Bill Lowry, a figure that is more than double the next highest total in that category; that position was held by Councillor Ron Gordon, who received $3,100.20. Five councillors received over $2,000 in car allowance and mileage, the other three being Councillor Jim Hegadorn ($2,741.12), Councillor Duncan Ashley ($2,399.27) and Councillor Ed Daniliunas ($2,741.12). The two remaining councillors received a combined $3,711.36 in

car allowance and mileage – $2,865.04 less than that of the Mayor. Unsurprisingly, Lowry received more in total than anyone else on Council; he received a total of $38,796.40 for his work in 2016. But it wasn’t the Deputy Mayor who received the next highest amount. That spot went to Ashley, who received a total of $27,387.56. In fact, Deputy Mayor Ric Bresee received the fifthhighest amount at $24,702.34. In between, Gordon received a total of $26,451.89, and Hegadorn received a total of $26,248.96. The remaining two councillors, Daniliunas and Councillor Penny Porter, received $22,596.23 and $18,185.25 respectively. Ashley received the highest amount in per diem payments at $3,625, followed closely by Gordon at $3,370, and Hegadorn at $2,585. Total per diem payments came to $11,866.80, with Porter receiving no per diems – she also received nothing in expenses paid directly to her, or in expenses paid to third parties. Expenses paid directly to council members totalled $15,065.73, with $2,865.93 going to Ashley, $3,425.48 going to Hegadorn, and $2,408.25 going to Gordon. Only four councillors received expenses paid to third parties, which came to $4,568.79 in total. All members of Loyalist Township Council received $83.84 in benefits, for a total of $586.88 in benefits for 2016. And for their mileage in order to sit on the Board of Directors for the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, Porter received $31.68, and Bert Herfst received $456.

First-time playwright brings experiences with Down syndrome to the stage BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

For Jacob Ballantyne, the world can sometimes be a bit overwhelming and confusing. The 19-year-old Kingstonian is an aspiring playwright who also has Down syndrome, and this month he is sharing the story of his life and experiences in a unique way. "This is the first time I have written a full play," he explained. "It is inspired by the movie Cheaper by the Dozen, and it is about living with Down syndrome in the mix of other disabilities and inspired by my own experiences." The play, entitled Down Syndrome by the Dozen, is a comedy with a message written by Ballantyne with the help of H'art Centre and director Kathryn Mackay. "When we did our production of Rare two years ago, Jacob was in that and we really enjoyed working him. One day, he just came to rehearsal with pages and pages of his own ideas," Mackay said. "We worked with him for several months on the play and we did readings and workshops, and here we are." The play is based on Ballantyne's own life and he also stars in the play as several characters.

"I created what I call self-characters," he said. "It wasn’t so hard to write and I wrote it last summer. I like to write and create. I like to animate real people and create people." Other characters in the play are based off of Ballantyne's animations, and three of those animations have been reproduced on a larger scale for the production. Continued on page 18

First-time playwright brings experiences with Down syndrome to the stage Continued from page 17

The animations play characters alongside a number of actors with mixed abilities from H’art Centre. Ballantyne draws on movies for a lot of his inspiration. While he sees the play as a kind of ode to Cheaper by the Dozen, starring Steve Martin, Mackay sees a lot more depth to the play. “He has created this unique world and he has written about the Archibald family who are living in a very fantastical world,” she said. “The play begins and ends with Jacob, and it is a bit confusing in the middle, but that just shows how the everyday world is confusing for Jacob.” The play also features a number of songs and choreographed dances, something Ballantyne has enjoyed. “I like to dance and so does the other Jacob in the other world,” he said. “It has been a lot of fun seeing it come to life and seeing all of my characters. I think it is a good play.”

As a company with strong local roots, Metro is proud to be part of Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

For all your latest local news...

The play is funny at times, but according to Mackay, it is also a bit sad and poignant. “There are some very touching moments in the story, and especially when Jacob talks about his real life experiences of being bullied,” she said. “But in the end, the play does leave us with hope.” Mackay hopes that people will come see the play and that they will leave with a better understanding of not only Jacob’s world, but also the world of those living with Down syndrome. “I don’t know if anything has been told in this way in Kingston before,” she said. “I think it is a really important story to tell and Jacob does a great job with it. In fact, he is already working on a sequel.” Down Syndrome by the Dozen will run as evening shows at 7 p.m. on April 19, April 20, April 22 and April 26 to April 29; and as weekend matinees at 2 p.m. on April 22, April 23 and April 29 at THE BOX at H’art Centre, 237 Wellington St. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by calling 613-545-1392 or visiting the event page at www.hartschool.ca/ events/dozen.

Frontenac Outfitters paddles on under new ownership BY TORI STAFFORD tstafford@metroland.com

Kiley and Zack Fiddis, along with their daughter, Lyla, 2, and dog, Jackson, are the new owners of Frontenac Outfitters. The couple are looking forward to their first paddling season at the 23-year-old business, and encourage new and seasoned paddlers to come by and say hello when they’re in the area. Tori Stafford/Metroland

News — Well-known local mainstay Frontenac Outfitters has been a part of the community for over two decades, and that won’t change — but there will be some new friendly faces there to greet folks as the paddle sport season kicks off this year. With longtime owners Larry and Christine Showler moving into retirement, a new couple has signed on to take their place in helping regulars and first-time paddlers alike to enjoy their time on water. Zack and Kiley Fiddis, a couple of self-described ‘outdoors enthusiasts,’ stumbled upon the opportunity to purchase Frontenac Outfitters by chance, Zack explained. And it was a chance that came at the perfect time. “It was kind of a fluke,” he disclosed, explaining that the fact the business was up for sale literally popped up in the feed of one of the kayaking groups he’s a part of online. “I’ve actually been here a few times before, years ago, but it was mainly just a coincidence, really — definitely the right time for us.” Coming to South Frontenac from Bowmanville, the Fiddises bring their young daughter, Lyla, and their trusty canine companion, Jackson, with them to the beloved business that has help turned many a land-lover into paddle fanatics. While it may seem like an odd move from the city proper to the family home just a

short walk from Pearkes Lake and Frontenac Provincial Park, the Fiddises are no strangers to rural living or life with a paddle at arm’s length.

Frontenac Outfitters paddles on under new ownership Continued from page 19

“We’ve previously lived out in the country, and I grew up in kind of the wilderness of Orono — if you can call it that,” Zack said with a laugh. “I worked for the government and Zack was a service manager for an HVAC company, so it’s definitely been a big change for us,” said Kiley. “But we love being outdoors. We took Lyla in the canoe with us last summer, and she’s been in lots of tents and on lots of camping trips … It’s been an adjustment, but it’s definitely been worth it, and it’s a good fit for us.” As far as the couple is concerned, a change in ownership is enough of a change for Frontenac Outfitters right now. They have no plans to change the way the business operates, apart from possibly bringing some new products and lines on-board. While they may look at adding some winter sport lines in the future, it’s important to them both that the customers and clients that have grown to love

Frontenac Outfitters in its 23 years of business still have all the products and services that have allowed the business to thrive thus far. “I think it was a big concern for a lot of people, whether or not we would change things, because they have a very loyal customer base. Larry and Christine have built a very reputable business based on customer service, friendliness, and making the experience of buying or testing a canoe or kayak an overall fun and positive experience,” Zack expressed. “We definitely want to maintain that legacy they built, and continue it.” And with the spring rain showers about to give way to the sunny, warmer weather, the Fiddises are more than looking forward to seeing Frontenac Outfitters as well as all of the people it serves and educates through the paddling season. “We’re very excited, 100 per cent,” Zack said, noting that they’re already dealing with a couple of school groups whom they’re looking forward to working with soon.

“I grew up canoeing and kayaking, so I’m happy to help out any of those groups we can.” It’s that aspect of the business that appeals most to the couple. They’re both eager to help seasoned paddlers find the perfect canoe for their interests, guide newbies to the right standup paddle board, or teach courses to groups on how to get used to the water and kayaking. “When you’re looking into these sports, you want to talk with someone who knows what they’re doing and get set up properly,” Zack said. “We want people to get into the sport, because that’s good for the sport overall. So, whether they buy from us or they buy from someone else, we’re happy just to host them here and get them educated on the products.” As for Lyla — who is turning two years old this summer — she is likely to be the first in a long line of those marked by stunning views, close to a variety of waterways, and surrounded by people who love to get outside and on the water.

“I can’t wait to get her into a kayak or on a standup paddle board with me this summer,” Kiley said with a big smile. “And we can’t wait to meet all of the people who live and travel through this beautiful area.” In keeping up traditions at Frontenac Outfitters, the Fiddises will be hosting the annual spring sale from Friday, April 28 to Sunday, April

and social media and this year, we decided to focus on issues surrounding sexual violence and building healthy relationships." Coincidentally, Frontenac Secondary School had already invited speakers to come and chat with their students on the same topic this year and the parent council decided it would be interesting to have the parents hear a similar presentation from the same speakers. "We want everyone to get the message on this topic and we think this is a great way to do that," said Eldridge. The event, entitled Building Healthy Rela-

For parents, speaking to their children about issues like sexual violence and how to build healthy relationships can be difficult, but a special event at Frontenac Secondary School is hoping to make these conversations a bit easier. "Every year we put on some sort of event for parents to help them help their kids succeed in school and in life," explained Marsha Eldridge, Frontenac Secondary School Parent Council secretary and event committee chair. "In the past we have covered issues like mental health

“We hope the takeaway is going to be a bit of a wake up call and parents will see that this is happening far too often and it seems to be increasing each year,” said Eldridge. “I think the biggest thing is learning how to talk to your kids about it. I know some parents, many parents, could have difficulty with these topics, but the more knowledge parents have the more they can press that upon their kids to help them.” Eldridge hopes that with the presentations happening for both students and parents, starting those tough conversations will be much easier. “I think that will help open up the door for the parents for conversations and make it easier,” she said. “They can talk about the event and what they heard and that is a great way to start engagement together.” Eldridge admits that she has no problem having

these difficult conversations with her own son, a student at Frontenac, but it took time to get to that point. “I’ve been very open with my son throughout the years and I talk to him and I feel very comfortable talking to him, but it has definitely been a gradual process,” she said. “I know it is difficult, but it is so necessary and knowledge is really the key thing on these topics.” In addition to the speakers, there will be a booth at the event to help parents with resources to learn more on difficult topics. The Limestone Lending Library was also set up through a PRO-Grant and allows parents to order books to a school, pick them up and then return them. “Books focus on topics like help for divorced or single parents, parenting teens, helping with understanding social media, teen depression, stress and anxiety, bullying and more,” said Eldridge. “It is

a great resource for parents in helping them parent and ensuring their kids’ success and it is really underused.” The event on April 20 is open to anyone and is completely free. Eldridge encourages any parent, guardian or caregiver that is interested to come out. “I think parents should come out to actually get their heads wrapped around the consent issues and how they can prevent sexual violence,” said Eldridge. “But it is also to give parents the knowledge base that will help them understand what their kids are going through. If you can get that base then you really can help your kids. Parents are all about helping their kids and helping them learn and grow and I think it is very important for that reason.” Building Healthy Relationships takes place at Frontenac Secondary School on Thursday, April 20 from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information, contact Marsha Eldridge at fross_ council@limetsone.on.ca

Queen of Spades was, until my sister Audrey discovered him sitting on it, ready to play it at just the right time. My brother Earl loved to build card houses when the table was cleared. I was amazed at how high he could build without the whole thing falling in a heap. It wasn’t above Emerson to give the table a shake to bring the card house down either. But the Saturday night house party was when cards seemed to rule the evening, with the neighbour from the Barr Side road the first to arrive and the last to leave. Of course, the last card had to be played before the stroke of midnight, or she would quit for the night. My curiosity got the better of me one Saturday night when the house party was at our farm, and I asked Father why the woman from the Barr Line was so against cards on Sunday. He said he wouldn’t doubt it for a minute that when she was alone

Nobody liked a game of cards better than I did. Of course, we young ones were never allowed to play euchre at the Saturday night house parties. That was for adults. But if we could find an extra deck of cards, we could sit on a bed upstairs and play Old Maid, or Snap, two favourite games of mine, while the adults pounded the table down in the kitchen. Although we kids learned euchre at an early age, it was still considered an adult game come Saturday night. The neighbour away on the Barr Line never missed a Saturday night house party. She walked as stiff as a board, and her lips were thin and clamped together so that you could hardly see that she had a mouth. She had a fierce look about her and even at a game of euchre she hardly ever smiled. She always wore black, and on the hottest night of the summer, she had a crocheted shawl draped around her shoulders. Although Father would never be rude to her, he had little patience with her constant talk about the sins of the world, and all of us were going straight to hell in a basket. I often wondered where she would end up, but was too

frightened to ask. Even though this woman never missed a card game on a Saturday night, she said she wouldn’t touch a deck of cards on a Sunday if her life depended on it. Playing cards on Sunday was right up there with swearing, or stealing chickens. Whatever church she belonged to, forbid it. Well, it didn’t matter to us if was Sunday or Monday, if we had a few minutes to spare, or we ran out of things to do after supper, we got out the deck of cards, and sitting around the old pine table we played our favourite card games. I wasn’t too quick on the uptake, and always ended up losing at Snap, until I finally realized my brother Emerson, slapped his hand over the upcard before anyone had a chance to look at it. Mother soon put a stop to that and moved him away from the table. It was the same thing with Old Maid. I couldn’t figure out how Emerson knew exactly where the
