Parents rally to show ‘autism doesn’t end at five’ By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Ashley Sturgess is the mother of an autistic child; her son Timothy was diagnosed at the age of four after a series of tests and has been on the waiting list for Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) therapy ever since. Recently, the Ontario government announced changes to the Ontario Autism Program that will affect Timothy’s IBI and Sturgess, like many Ontario parents, isn’t pleased. “My son had his IBI set up for April, but now they are telling us that it is being delayed and we expect it to just get swept under the rug now,” explained Sturgess. “It is devastating.” Currently, the Ontario government funds both IBI and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapies for autistic children. Under the new plan, announced at the end of March, the Liberal government announced $333 million in funding, which will integrate IBI and ABA therapies into a flexible service that can provide more or less intense therapy. The new program will also limit IBI to children between the ages of two and five, starting May 1, which according to the Ontario government is based on expert advice to focus on children in that developmental window.

2808 PRINCESS ST. (613) 766-1262

“I know people who have children who have done IBI to the age of 18 because they still needed it,” explained Sturgess. “The idea that it will stop at five is crazy. Most parents don’t even have a diagnosis for their kids until around four. Now they want to start the wait lists for IBI at the age of two and I’d love to see how many parents actually have kids diagnosed at that age.” Because Sturgess’ son is outside of the new age window, he will no longer be eligible for IBI treatment despite his place on the wait list. Instead, families in this situation will be given one-time funding of $8,000 to purchase eligible community services or supports that best meet the child’s specific needs. According to the Liberal government, this new strategy will mean 16,000 more children will receive services – mostly ABA – and that IBI wait times will go from a current average of two and a half years to six months by 2021. “They are trying to help the younger kids and I understand that, but no child should go without the treatments they need and the treatments that are going to work for them,” said Sturgess. “ABA is not enough for many of these kids.” In Timothy’s case, Sturgess was hoping that IBI, which is a more frequent and intensive treatment than ABA, would help with many of the problems he faces including his un-

It is just devastating.” To make her opinion and concerns known, Sturgess has signed a petition, started by her friend Brenna Bloodworth, asking the Liberal government to reconsider this new program. In just a few weeks the petition has already reached nearly 15,000 signatures. “We thought we would circulate it to all of our friends on Facebook and see how many signatures we could get and it just spiralled from there,” she said. “The support has been overwhelming and we hope to generate even more going forward.” On April 15, Sturgess was also part of a rally at MPP Sophie Kiwala’s office. Sturgess hopes that it generated more awareness for the issues. “We are hoping to get Sophie’s attention and we want her to take our questions to Kathleen Wynne,” said Sturgess. “We want to show that Approximately 40 Kingstonians came out to local MPP Sophie Kiwala’s Kingston doesn’t believe that autism office at the La Salle Mews on April 15 to protetst the recent changes to ends at five and many of us are beservices provided to children with autism in Ontario.

News – Kingston voters could have a new system of electing their mayor and councillors in the next municipal election. Mayor Bryan Paterson seems very open to the idea of allowing ranked ballots to elect candidates, but first wants to hear what citizens have to say about the provincial reforms. He expects council will debate the issue before this term is up. “What would be required is for council to make a decision about moving toward a ranked ballot. In advance of that decision we would have a debate, we would have discussion with the community, to get their thoughts and their ideas.” The Ontario government recently introduced changes to the Municipal Elections Act that would allow the ranked ballot system as an option for municipalities, starting with the 2018 elections. The province says it has the potential to give voters a greater say in who is elected and increase voter engagement. “Ranked ballots allow a voter to rank candidates in order of preference - first choice, second choice, third choice, etc. - instead of just voting for one candidate,” according to Ted McMeekin, minister of municipal affairs and housing, in a news release. Ranked balloting could also reduce the need for strategic voting, reduce negative campaigning and encourage more candidates to remain in the race until voting day with less chance of vote splitting, McMeekin explained. Unlike the traditional election system – where the candidate with the most votes wins – ranked ballots require the winner to have at least 50 per cent of the vote. That means there may be multiple rounds of counting before a candidate is declared the winner. If there’s no 50 per cent-plus-one vote winner after the first round of counting, the last place candidate is eliminated and those votes are redistributed to the other candidates. The counting continues until a clear winner emerges. So if your first place candidate isn’t elected, your ballot may help your second choice to win, the government said. Coun. Rob Hutchison says ranked ballots may be worth a try,

but he remains skeptical it would alter most election outcomes. “I think it is fine as an introduction to proportional representation. I don’t know at the municipal level it’ll make that much difference.” Coun. Hutchison says ranked ballots tend to have a more meaningful outcome at the provincial and federal levels when political parties are involved. “Whether somebody at the municipal level could second or third their way to an actual election win is unclear.” In Kingston’s 2014 municipal election, eight of the 13 winners were elected with at least 50-percent of the vote; Kevin George, Lisa Osanic, Liz Schell, Mary Rita Holland, Jeff McLaren, Jim Neill, Peter Stroud and Rob Hutchison. The other five, including Mayor Paterson, had more votes than other candidates but lacked the 50 per cent-plus-one threshold that would be required under ranked ballots. “That would be good that people could demonstrate that they got more than 50 per cent of the vote on the ranked ballot system. That would be preferable and would show the right degree of approval,” Coun. Hutchison added. The government says each municipalATLANTIC ity has the option to use it, or stick with the CITY current voting system.

Friends of Kingston group pushes KEDCO for more disclosure By Bill Hutchins

News – The Friends of Kingston group says it’s pleased the city’s economic development agency has pried open the books to publicly reveal financial statements of previous years. But they are demanding even more disclosure. “The legal action is still going on. Clarifications are still being sought,” explained group member Kim Donovan. The non-profit community group recently hired a Toronto law firm that specializes in municipal law to press KEDCO to release detailed audited statements for each fiscal year between 2010 and 2015. The agency responded by posting more spending details on its website in late March. But some of the numbers in the financial disclosure don’t include a breakdown of invoices or measurable results to help understand the management of tax dollars, said Donovan. “We need to figure out what’s working and what’s not.” The group wants to see more specifics covering five years’ worth of spending by the agency in the following categories: advertising ($1.8 million), events and meetings ($1.12 million), memberships and licenses ($200,000), profes-

sional contractors ($467,000), professional development ($156,000), salaries and benefits ($7.45 million), sponsorships and donation ($1.16 million), and travel ($488,000). The group also has questions surrounding $261,500 in expenditures that were approved by KEDCO’s board in 2014, including $70,000 for a strategic planning position, $60,000 for recruitment of a director of business development, $50,000 for corporate restructuring, $20,000 for finance transition and $14,500 for K-Rock Centre suite. “The Friends of Kingston are increasingly concerned about the apparent lack of oversight of and fiduciary responsibility related to these expenditures,” according to its April 8 letter sent to the KEDCO board, KEDCO review committee, mayor and councillors and the city’s chief administrator. The group estimates taxpayers contributed a total of $15 million to KEDCO between 2010 and 2015, and wants to know exactly how the money was spent and how the city benefited from jobs and economic investment. Donovan says the group isn’t questioning the agency’s spending on another aspect of its mandate - tourism promotion. “It’s the principles, not personalities that’s driving

“NO MATTER WHAT BOAT YOU NEED, WE HAVE IT.”

this,” he insisted. The Friends group also wants to know what type of organization KEDCO is. As a self-stated non-profit corporation, financial records show KEDCO has made past contributions to the OMERS (municipal pension) plan. However, the community group says the contributions, including more than $122,000 in 2014, suggest KEDCO operates as a public sector organization and, therefore, should be held to a higher standard for its annual audits. “As a public sector organization, it must complete an audit to a different standard (with more diligent internal controls and be audited in accordance therewith) than the financials released to the public,” the group stated in its letter for disclosure. It’s not just dollars and cents that has motivated the group to press for more details. They also want more information about KEDCO’s job track record. The agency’s own reports show it helped to facilitate the creation of 4,000 jobs in Kingston over a five year period, even though the Friends point to Stats-Canada figures showing a 400 net job loss during the same period. They cite the case of Grafoid, a high-tech business that they believe employs 10 people

instead of the 160 that KEDCO initially took credit for in its annual job targets. As a member of KEDCO’s board, Mayor Bryan Paterson says the agency has heard the public criticism and is continuing to take steps to be as “open and transparent as possible.” A committee is currently reviewing the agency’s structure and operation to find ways to make it more accountable to taxpayers and to re-focus efforts on generating new jobs and economic investment. The committee’s draft report could be released as early as April 20, although the final report to KEDCO’s board and council is expected by the end of June. Councillor and committee member Adam Candon urged patience from the community as the economic development file is being advanced. “I don’t know all the answers but what I do need is people to come up with solutions that I can help implement.” However, the Friends group is already predicting the committee’s pending report will be a “whitewash,” fearing the review doesn’t intend to spend much time focusing on past expenditures and job creation details. “They intend to come up with a blue sky vision - but we maintain they don’t have a plane to fly in,” said Donovan.

Kingston Police seize $80,000 worth of cocaine, crystal meth and marijuana; two people charged A search warrant conducted by the Kingston Police Drug Unit in early April resulted in the seizure of crystal methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana with an estimated street value of $80,000. On April 7, Drug Unit officers executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrant at a city-central address. In addition to $30,000 in found drugs, packaging, scales and $3,365 in Canadian currency were also seized. The investigation led officers to an address out-

side of the city limits, where they recovered an additional $50,000 in crystal methamphetamine. A male and female, both 29 years of age and from Kingston, were arrested and transported to police headquarters where they were later released on a Promise to Appear with a future court date and are bound by conditions from an Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Undertaking. They are each charged with three counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking.

News - The Land Conservancy for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington is a volunteer organization that works to protect and conserve land in the Kingston area, including their own. The group, which formed about 15 years ago, recently purchased a 79 hectare piece of land near Bellrock. The land, named the Depot Creek Nature Reserve, is filled with forested areas, a creek, wetlands and grasslands and while the group wants to maintain the beauty of the property, which is open to the public, they also want to make sure they are conserving it in the best possible way. “There are many factors to take into consideration,” explained Mary Alice Snetsinger, vice-president of the Land Conservancy for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. “There are a lot of grassland birds that are species at risk and being a small group of about 130 members, we were trying to figure out how to maintain the grasslands. We have cattle grazing, but we are worried about trampling of nests.” These questions lead the Land Conservancy to a partnership with Fleming College in Lindsay, Ontario. The College has an ecosystem

management program that requires students in their third year to take on real-world projects at conservation authorities or with land trust groups. “We submitted a proposal and then a team of four students was matched with us,” said Snetsinger. “It really was a win-win; it is something that we could probably have done ourselves if we had the time or the resources, but with these guys it is good for them and it is what they are studying and it is great for them and their resumes.” Over the past few months, the students have been reading literature, interviewing experts, exploring the property and assessing what is best for the area. On April 13, they came to Kingston to present their findings and make recommendations to the Land Conservancy group. “We really focused on the impacts of the cattle on the area,” explained student Elizabeth Travers. “We identified two bird species at risk, the Bobolink and the Eastern Meadowlark, and we were tasked with seeing if the cattle is sustainable and okay for the two threatened species.” In the end, the students found that having the cattle on the land, because it is not a large amount of cattle, is beneficial. “There is about one head of cattle per hect-

Phoebe heritage boat to get permanent home somewhere in Kingston By Bill Hutchins

News – A city-owned heritage boat won’t be sailing to a U.S. museum, after all. Councillors threw the Phoebe a lifeline with a plan to display the steam-powered boat in Kingston at a location that’s still to be determined. “The Phoebe should be considered on the same level as the ‘Spirit of Sir John A’ locomotive,� said Coun. Peter Stroud. Both the Phoebe and the familiar locomotive were built in Kingston in 1914. Council approved a strategy April 5 to move the 102 year old boat into temporary storage from its current home behind the Pump House and Steam Museum on Ontario Street. The museum is about to undergo a $1 million expansion. Councillors have given staff until September to come up with a detailed plan and budget to find a permanent home for the Phoebe. The plan may include putting the boat back in the same location. “We need to identify a budget and process and get on with concepts and options,� said Coun. Lisa Osanic. Coun. Adam Candon suggested the boat could be displayed along the Inner Harbour, possibly in Doug Fluhrer Park. “It’s a great way to attract people there.� Coun. Stroud says the ideal solution is to relocate the Phoebe to another corner of the steam museum property but, if that’s not feasible, to move it next to the big black locomotive in Confederation Park. Henk Wevers, with the group Friends of the Phoebe, is encouraged with council’s decision to keep it on display in the city. The group donated 35,000 volunteer hours and raised tens of thousands of dollars to restore the boat. The Phoebe currently sits on the museum’s back lawn under a wooden shelter, made by high school students, to protect it from the sunlight and other outdoor elements. “We are not necessarily opposed to a relocation. She belongs at the Pump House Steam Museum,� Wevers told council, adding it would be a shame if the studentbuild protective pavilion was dismantled.

House Steam Museum,� he added. Renovation work at the back of the 1849 Pump House museum involves removing an earlier addition from the 1950s that’s deemed to have no architectural value. In its place, a two-storey glass addition will be constructed with room for

to Kingston’s industrial past and relocating her to a site along the Inner Harbour makes more sense than keeping her at the renovated steam museum. “The current location is okay but after the renovations she’ll be in the way – cutting the view of the water from the Pump

Wevers was initially worried that loaning the boat to the National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo, Ohio, as recommended by a local advisory committee, meant it would likely never come back. Resident Bill Visser told council the Phoebe has a stronger link

washrooms, improved accessibility, staff offices, meeting rooms and a new entrance for school children. The new structure, featuring the word ‘Pumphouse’ in large letters visible from the waterside, will mark the historic building’s first major alteration in over 40 years.

EDITORIAL I left (part of) my heart in San Francisco In addition to all of those things, I was surprised by just how beautiful San Francisco was and that it had the ability to change completely from area to area. One moment you could be in super ritzy Union Square and then a few blocks over in Chinatown, or you could be in Fisherman’s Wharf and then travel just a bit uptown to the hippie inspired area of Haight-Ashbury. It was really amazing to experience. I was also really impressed by Alcatraz. I knew that Alcatraz was a must-see when visiting San Francisco and it didn’t disappoint. It was amazing to see this place that held the most violent criminals and then to see how beautiful the landscape and the island itself was surrounding it. The views of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge were incredible and the history was really cool. My only regret is that we didn’t have more time there. While all of this sounds pretty great, San Francisco was not my favourite part of our trip. As part of his thesis research, Korey had set up meetings with officials in Sacramento. In the middle of our trip, we rented a car and made the drive to

That song has been in my head for weeks, ever since I returned from San Francisco, and California in general. To be fair, I would edit that statement to ‘I left my heart in California’. California has always been a place that I wanted to visit, although it wasn’t at the top of my travel list. But in March, Korey had the opportunity to attend and present at a conference in San Francisco and I was happy to tag along for a bit of a vacation – I figured a chance to get away from winter and enjoy some sun in California shouldn’t be passed up. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I had heard from a few people that San Francisco was a bit colder than expected (true), it was full of homeless people (also true and a bit shocking) and that is was a really unique city (also true).

the capital city and I was amazed at how beautiful it was (it also helped that is was a lot warmer and cleaner than San Fran). The city had a really clichĂŠd laid-back California vibe and it lived up the ‘Golden State’ nickname. We also made a detour on our way back to San Fran through Napa Valley and ate dinner there. It was incredible. I have never seen anything like it. The rolling hills were covered with vineyards and the entire place was stunning. We didn’t have time to take a tour or even visit an actual vineyard, but I would definitely make a return trip to do so. To finish off that day, we drove back into San Francisco over the famous Golden Gate Bridge. It was a really cool way to experience the bridge from a different perspective and it is something I would highly recommend. Okay, I’m done raving about my trip. I’ll just finish by recommending a trip to California if you have the chance. Yes, visit San Francisco, but also take the time to visit some other parts of the state too. You won’t regret it and you may lose (part) of your heart.

Letter to the editor:

The many definitions of “progress�: In response to Rob Oatway’s “Not expecting magic, just progress�, it concerns me that some people believe that any development is “progress� and therefore good. Although it is certainly frustrating to patiently wait for the outcome of debating what to do with a vacant

lot, this is surely better than building just anything for the sake of building. Also, not building, as in preserving green space and the waterfront for all to use and enjoy, is often the best course of action; in such cases, preserving IS progress.

Let’s not drop phys ed It was recently revealed that Queen’s University is suspending its physical education degree, and is even removing it as ‘teachable subject’ at its teacher’s college. The school cited numerous reasons for the suspension, including a 15 per cent dip in student enrollments, as well as a shortage of qualified PhDs required for its faculty. But reading the subtext of the decision isn’t that difficult. It goes something like: “this isn’t where society’s money and interests currently lie, and so we won’t bother either.� It is preferable instead to focus on more rentable health sciences such as kinesiology, which students just can’t get enough of, and where they can expect lengthy careers in occupational and physical therapy, treating patients with a variety of conditions commonly associated sedentary lifestyles. Ok - that may be a bit of generalization, but it cannot be denied that the irony is rich. We agree with the experts in the field of physical education who instead argue that now is not the time to be dropping phys ed programs wholesale across the country like some diseased limb. Obesity and diabetes rates are at near historic highs, and physical activity levels of youth seem permanently on the wane. Less tangible but no less important is the positive impact that phys ed programs can have on children’s emotional wellbeing. It’s perhaps not surprising that the past few decades have witnessed a concomitant rise in depression and anxiety diagnoses among our youth in addition to physical maladies. Experts counter antiquated claims that phys ed programs can be ostracizing, over-competitive and geared towards athletic minded, arguing that modern phys ed programs are actually quite a bit different from the ones parents remember; now, small games are emphasized, and the curriculum targets healthy eating and sexuality. Coach Calhoun and Danny Zuko’s gym class this ain’t. It’s not all Queen’s fault. A jurisdiction’s educational programming tends to be reflective of its governing legislative body’s educational philosophy, and it’s quite clear that despite recent lip-service, P.E. is simply not a Queen’s Park priority. Ontario students are supposed to get only 20 minutes a day of vigorous physical activity a day, but the activities are taught by classroom teachers and a great deal of anecdotal evidence suggests that it often gets swept under the rug as teachers prepare their students for the rigorous math and reading testing to come. High schoolers receive even less P.E. programming, requiring only one semester long course in the high school career. Compare that with Manitoba, where it is mandated throughout. Indeed, the voice emanating from Queen’s Park seems to be suggesting that mandating healthy lifestyles through the educational curriculum is just silly; that physical education, like music and art before it, are to be sacrificed on the altar of STEM progress, and is better relegated to a student’s at-home, extra-curricular life. We think it’s time to finally say ‘no, it isn’t’. While math and sciences may be critically important to our children’s futures, their ability to enjoy those futures will depend equally on their ability to live them in relative health and emotional stability. Let’s get moving, people.

We must examine any and all developments with a vision, and yes this includes taking scale and shadows into account. The Capitol’s peer review did a thorough job of examining these and many other important factors, which is why they concluded that the

21-storey proposal didn’t fit into our downtown. The developers must now go back to the drawing board, and that’s a good thing. Let’s be patient and hope they come up with a human-scale alternative. Gisele Pharand

Federal budget helps our region Supplement (GIS) back to 65, and we are increasing by 10% the GIS for low-income seniors, which will put additional muchneeded money in the pockets of 900,000 seniors across Canada and the more than 8% of seniors in this riding who still live below the poverty line. Our seniors built this country, and it is our duty to see that they have the security in retirement that they deserve. Municipalities in our riding will benefit from this budget. We know that municipalities shoulder a heavy burden, and they need help. A new application intake for the Building Canada Fund will start this spring, since there is $9 billion of remaining funding nation-wide that can be used for infrastructure such as roads and bridges. In terms of new programs, Phase 1 of our infrastructure plan will invest an additional $11.9 billion to improve water and wastewater systems, expand affordable housing, and protect infrastructure systems from the effects of climate change. In its March media release the Federation of Canadian Municipalities applauded our budget which marks a new era of federalmunicipal partnership and which stands to transform communities. As chair of National Rural Caucus, I have communicated the unique needs of Rural Canada to our government, and they are listening. I am proud to report that a significant proportion of this new infrastructure funding will go to Rural Canada, as well as an additional $500 million dollars in funding to improve broadband internet access in Rural Canada.

I also heard from small municipalities – like the ones we have in our riding – that it is difficult to compete with the larger municipalities who have more money and human resources to put together applications. Our government is listening, and now $50 million has been set aside to help small communities with their asset management plans. My team welcomes your continuing en-

gagement in helping us develop solutions to our local and national challenges. We want to hear your thoughts, and we will always be happy to answer your questions.

R0013625203

If the question for residents of HastingsLennox and Addington is “will this budget help me?� the answer is an unequivocal “yes�. The budget that our government laid out is a direct delivery on promises made in the October election. Canadians voted for real change, and Budget 2016 is an important part of fulfilling that promise. Families in Hastings-Lennox and Addington will benefit from this budget. Our new tax-free Canada Child Benefit (CCB) will lift almost 300,000 kids nation-wide out of poverty, including countless local children. Did you know that our region has one of the highest levels of child poverty in Canada at twice the provincial average, according to our local Poverty Roundtable? This is a signature piece of legislation to combat local poverty and I could not be more proud. Families who benefit from the CCB will see an average of $2,300 more per year, tax free. That’s much-needed help for families, whether it’s used for putting kids into an arts or sports program, new supplies for school, or food on the table. The Middle Class in our riding will benefit from this budget. We all know that when the middle class is doing well, our country is doing well. But, it’s been too long since the middle class got the support it needs. Our tax cut for the middle-income earners will put more money in people’s pockets to support local economies! Seniors in our riding, especially those on a fixed income, will benefit from this budget. We are putting the retirement age for Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income

Should Kingston’s red light traffic enforcement be turned over to cameras?

Se & a e wh ff at livi orda com ng bl for loo e a ta ks ssis ble like ted !

Editorial – Anyone who gets behind the wheel on a regular basis will see their share of poor driving habits. You know the kind – you leave a safety gap behind the car in front you and someone always manages to squeeze into it, drivers who cut across two or three lanes at the last second to make a turn, those who don’t even bother to signal, others who pull up in a lane they know is going to end and race to get ahead of you at the lights and, yes, those who continue driving after the light has turned red because, well, they can and they just don’t care. There will never be enough police to catch the

rude, distracted, in-a-hurry motorist. And that’s why red light cameras seem to be an ideal solution to address this type of aggressive or inattentive behaviour. These drivers might get the satisfaction of beating the traffic light cycle, but they likely won’t beat the camera that just took a picture of their plate, and will send them a $325 ticket in the mail. But before Kingston city council turns into a ‘gotcha government’ with automated cops to catch offenders at 10 major intersections, tentatively slated to start in January 2017, the red light program deserves a serious re-think. The program, initiated by the last council, seemed to get some sober second-thought by this council. And rightly so. If you consider yourself a courteous and careful driver who might make the odd road mistake (and who doesn’t) should you still be penalized with a hefty fine? For that matter, if you weren’t even driving the car when it was caught on camera but, as the registered owner you still get the fine, is that really fair?

There are many studies that suggest red light cameras can cause even more accidents from overlycautious drivers braking suddenly at yellow lights to avoid challenging the cameras. And what about motorists who end up skidding through a red light on a snowy, icy day to avoid a ticket? Interestingly, other jurisdictions with camera cops found that drivers making a rolling stop to make a right turn at a red light make up the vast majority of infractions rather than those who drive straight through. The camera program, of course, has its benefits. It’s supposed to promote better driving behaviour and studies show it could reduce T-bone accidents by at least 25 per cent. But with more rear-end collisions anticipated, is that an acceptable trade off? And what about the hundreds of thousands of dollars this program is sure to rake in to municipal coffers by catching both well-intentioned and crazy drivers in the same net? The city insists it won’t be a cash grab and that any profits will be funnelled into traffic safety programs. City staff say at least five tickets would have to be issued every day in order for the $520,000 a year program to break-even. Even with that

minimum target, it’s still more than ten times the number of red light tickets that police officers currently hand out in an average year. There’s also a question of degree that should be considered. Communities like Halton Region and Hamilton have much larger populations, yet Kingston would have almost as many camerainstalled intersections as they do. Local politicians will tell you they hear more road-related complaints from constituents than just about any other civic issue. If this policefree program is implemented, you can bet they’ll hear even more complaints from red-faced $325 ticket holders who either won’t remember the infraction or insist they never did anything wrong, and must now make a court date to fight the ticket. It’s sure to clog the courts further as people challenge the ‘guilty until proven innocent’ formula, even though they can’t cross-examine a camera. Camera critics say the city should first experiment with longer yellow lights at troublesome intersections to see if that gives motorists more time to stop safely, or dedicate more traffic officers to monitor intersections. Kingston police have tried to stay out of this political debate, but have been summoned to the next council meeting to explain their traffic enforcement strategy. Councillors want reassurances they’re on the right track. Based on the police presentation, they’re expected to decide whether to move forward with 900 Princess Street red light camera contracts to install, Kingston, ON operate and issue tickets. They could also delay or scrap the entire program (613) 546-3181 and search for alternatives that don’t www.FieldingsTireAuto.ca involve adding to a Big Brother society.

PICKUPS

Fast food restaurants are trying to fool you about where their food comes from. And they’re doing it in a way that undermines sustainable small farmers in Canada and around the world. The rising popularity of local food and sustainable agriculture makes the big fast food companies nervous. Increasingly, people want to know where their food is coming from and how it was raised. Eaters want to support farms where animals are treated well, where workers are paid properly, where soil and water are taken care of. They want to eat healthier foods, not hormone-laden beef or pesticide lettuce. Fast food companies like McDonald’s have tried to steal back the limelight. Using a technique called “greenwashing” or “farm-washing”, they’ve used advertising to paint themselves as generous supporters of agriculture. For example, a recent McDonald’s advertising campaign depicts their foods—such as a hamburger missing its beef patty—along with words like: “The Big Mac? Not without Canadian beef farmers.” The implication being that they buy their ingredients from Canadian farmers. They’ve also started a Q&A website where people can ask questions about where McDonald’s ingredients comes from. But their answers are misleading, to say the least. For example, on their website, McDonald’s brags: “We get our hamburger patties from Cargill in Spruce Grove, Alberta.” This sort of thing sounds great if you’ve never heard of Cargill. “Cargill in Spruce Grove” sounds folksy, almost downright wholesome. Cargill is, in fact, the largest privately-held corporation in the world. It is headquartered in the US, but runs its global trading mostly out of Switzer-

land, which—as with many companies with operations offshore—allows it to avoid taxes. Because they are privately held they can be secretive about their operations, and aren’t required to release information that publicly-traded corporations must. Cargill does much of their US administration in a sprawling mansion designed to look like the estate of a medieval lord—an interesting aesthetic choice for a company accused of treating farmers around the world like serfs. Globally, Cargill has been accused of almost every human and ecological transgression a corporation can perpetrate. They’ve been blamed for deforestation in the Amazon, while in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea their palm oil plantations have reportedly forced independent farmers off their land and into indentured labour on those plantations. And Cargill has been sued by the International Labor Rights Fund for alleged involvement in child trafficking and child forced labour on cocoa plantations in the African country of Côte d’Ivoire. All of which goes against the

Fundraising auction helps place service dogs with special needs children and adults Rob Mooy

News - These days it’s a not an uncommon sight to see our four-legged friends working as service dogs alongside people with special needs. There has been a big demand for service dogs in this community for many years and the ultimate goal of Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs is to help as many families as possible.

But placing these dogs costs money. To help offset the cost, they will be holding the 1st Annual K4Paws Charity Auction at the Vimy Officer’s Mess - CFB Kingston, April 23, from 2-5 p.m. Samantha Knapp is a mother of six children, two with special needs. She discovered early on that she needed help. When checking into getting a dog for her daughter, she found the wait list was several years long. “I had learned about what a dog could do for famiR0013575937

lies with special needs children but sadly, the wait list to get a (service) dog was very long.” Taking matters into her own hands, the Kingston native went back to school for some extensive training. Upon graduation she trained her first service dog for seizure alert/response and autism over a decade ago. Wanting to help other families with similar circumstances, she joined forces with Elizabeth Bailey to open Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs. “Our business will hopefully shorten the wait list for families,” adds Knapp. “I train both service dogs and companion dogs. It’s a very rewarding job. I train service dogs for autism, seizure work, mobility issues and PTSD.” Since its inception, Kingston 4 Paws has placed six dogs with adults, teens and children suffering from PTSD, sensory processing disorder, autism, Down’s syndrome, mobility and mental health issues. They are currently training 23 puppies and their waiting list is growing daily. “The number of people on the wait list exceeds the number of dogs we have so we are going to be adding a few more dogs soon.” There is no need for a parent with a special needs child to have to do everything all on their own. To get on the list for one of these special dogs, “Families just need to apply for a service dog through Kingston 4 Paws, have proof of a medical issue that requires the help of a dog, and a supportive family willing to learn. The dogs are very expensive to purchase and train.” Depending on what the dog is being trained for, it costs between $20-$25,000 per dog to purchase, train, vet, feed, and place these dogs. Knapp is quick to add that the family is not always expected to foot the entire cost of a service dog. “The families are not alone with the cost of the dog; we help them with fundraising and provide ideas of how they can afford one of our service dogs. “We decided on an auction because it gives people a wonderful afternoon of fun in a beautiful setting with a chance to bid on some incredible and unique items,” explains Knapp. “People can expect exciting items in the live auction, hundreds of unique items in the silent auctions, a surprise box that can be purchased for $20,

and a grand prize of an iPad mini.” She adds that “The food is going to be amazing and there will be complementary wine tasting as well. People will get the chance to meet some of our dogs and also meet the trainers.” Leisure Ways RV, who has donated a one week rental of an RV, will have the actual RV parked out front for people to see. “You will also be one of the reasons we can offer a PTSD dog to a veteran, or an autism dog to a child in need. This event is all about support, fun, great deals, and helping the community.” Tickets are $50, which gets you a $20 tax receipt, wine tasting, tasty hors d’oeuvres, a chance to bid on some amazing items, a really fun afternoon, and a chance to meet some of the puppies and their trainers.

Getting kids active the old fashioned way By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Events - Remember all the glorious hours of unstructured outdoor playtime enjoyed by children of previous decades? The YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, in partnership with the City of Kingston and CJM Property Management, wants to bring those back for today’s generation of children. On May 1, local kids and their families are invited to come to the Y’s Wright Crescent campus for a free day of fun outdoor and indoor activities including painting, Zumba, gymnastics demos, skipping, pickleball, wheelchair basketball and family swimming, along with much more unstructured sort of fun. The activities will run from

10 a.m. - 2 p.m. “It’s a real challenge to get kids active today,� says Kingston Family YMCA CEO Mary Kloosterman. Why is that, exactly? “Lots of different reasons,� Kloosterman says. “One is parents, and rightfully so, are worried about their children’s safety. Outside can be sometimes a scary thing.� Also, “kids have a great deal of attachment to their computer games now and if you give them the choice some of them will choose to be inside. And certainly that’s where all their friends are – they’re online – so it’s a big battle now to get kids just to be outside and having fun and doing things that are not necessarily organized.� Healthy Kids Day will focus on just this sort

of play. “It’s sort of an old style play day where you just climbed a tree, played with balls, scarves and ribbons and things like that,� Kloosterman explains. The day falls under the umbrella of both the YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, which is currently in its third year, and the City’s Healthy Kids Community Challenge; the City was recently awarded a grant of $1.5 million to promote children’s health, and this will be its inaugural year under the theme of “Run, Jump, Play Every Day�. “The name and the activities fit so beautifully [with what we’re trying to do]�, notes Kloosterman. “It’s a fun, free day. We’re trying to make it

less goal oriented. So much of our sports now are goal oriented and we really just want them to go have fun.� She adds that all this also fits well with what the Y promotes every day. “We have a lot of low organizational fun things encouraging Y fun fitness. For kids and parents both, we want to highlight the importance of having fun just by running around having a good time. There’s a lot you can do with little organization and little expensive equipment.� For more information, visit www.kingstonstartshere.ca/HealthyKidsDay

Voting open for worst road in Ontario By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – If there is a road in Kingston that you hate travelling on, now is the time to speak up; on April 15, CAA launched their annual Worst Roads Campaign and they are

hoping to hear from concerned drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders from across the province. The campaign started back in 2003 to give the public a way to voice their concerns about problem areas in their community. “We want to hear about roads, highways,

Last year, Johnson Street made the list in the Eastern Ontario region. “We also saw Princess Street and Brock Street trending for that list too,” said Chan. “We hope to get even more response form Kingston this year.” After voting is finished, on April 29, CAA will evaluate the information sent in about the 10 worst roads and present it to municipal and provincial partners.

as a result. “For the most part feedback and results have been very positive,” said Chan. “Last year in Timmins we had the mayor come out and mention a problematic road in his community and lots of media picked up on it. Repairs for the road were scheduled for later in the budget cycle, but they ended up pushing it forward as a result of the campaign.” Chan hopes that past successes encourage more Ontarians to get involved with the campaign. “We really want to hear from people – whether the issue is potholes or delayed signals or even confusing street signs –everyone experiences these roads on their commute to and from work and their maintenance is important.” To vote for Ontario’s Worst Roads visit http://www.caaworstroads.com/

Emmons, one of the founders of the KWIA, wanted a specific group for women that could work to benefit the community. “We wanted to get a bunch of women together and we knew there was a desire in the community,” she said. “We also have an LGBT Civitan Club and separate women’s and men’s clubs and there are so many people out there that want to do good.” Each of the groups support each other and when the Kingston Civitan Club heard about the funds being raised for the Youth Shelter, they wanted to join in.

Frontenac Islands budget passed By Margaret Knott

News: Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle extended a vote of thanks to the many for their efforts in completing the 2016 budget. “The last numbers were received today in time to present the budget at this meeting” Mayor Doyle said “ Now I can now say at a high level it is about 2.8% tax increase on Wolfe Island and 2.5 % on Howe. We were trying to keep it close to the inflation rate

which we did. It was a particular challenge this year because OPP costs keep going up. (Over four years the OPP contract increase is from $100,000 to $400,000 requiring a 4% increase in township taxes over all until it is fully implemented.) “We are lucky we did not have to pay it all at once. It will 2018 before we feel the full impact”. Doyle said. The township council concluded its budget for 2016 and voted for the changes in spending, and increases in taxes.

The total spending for local services on Wolfe, Howe and Simcoe Islands in 2016, has risen to $4,312,691, up from the $3.8 millions last year. Overall spending includes payments $884,381 to Frontenac County (ambulance/Fairmount Home) and $1.183,489 to the school boards, bringing the total to $6,3780,561. Revenues, including provincial grants for ferries, and miscellaneous revenues, along with the use of reserves previously set aside for specific purposes, and some of the Wolfe Wind Plant current funds, totalled $2,220,921. Thus the funds to be collected from taxes amount to $4,159,640. This translates into increases of 2.75% for the Wolfe Ward, and 2.49% for the Howe Ward. These rates are based on the current property assessments. For your information, the total property assessments for each ward are: Wolfe $348 millions, & Howe $212 millions. As the township press release indicated, the single largest item in the budget is for OPP policing, and it increased in 2015 to $232,800 this year, and will rise to $392,000 in the year 2018. The major projects/changes in 2016 are as follows: Howe Island - new tandem combo unit-$225,000; culvert etc on Howe Island Dr. - $70,000. Wolfe Island: Division street extension - $300,000; Simcoe ferry dock - $80,000. Joint- OPP police serviceincrease -$69,000 2. Tree Cutting and Trimming : Mayor Doyle received calls from many residents regarding red paint marked trees, and asked Public Works Manager Rob Dillabough to began his report with the planning process for the safe maintenance of island roads, since some of the residents were in attendance. “None of us want to cut down trees if we don’t have to,” the mayor said, “but we can’t wait until they rot and fall down on the roads.” Dillabough reading from the act, said in essence that: ’ a municipality that has jurisdiction over a highway/bridge shall keep it in a state of repair that is reasonable and failing to do that is subject to the Negligence Act,’ (damages due to default). While the tree ‘Request for Quotation’ have gone out with lists of trees, brush, stumps, that does not mean the whole of program will happen. “It is in two parts, one to cover the liability of the township , the other to determine costs,” he said. “A lot of trees were left after the ice storm in 1998. Others overhang roads in need of trim. They have

to be marked for the bidders to find them to get the pricing indexing, An arbourist will access the marked trees for trimming or cutting to be determined at the time.” In response to questions by council members, Dillabough said that he would be working closely with local rate payers. I “If there is a tree on the line and its over a little bit and the trimmer is there, they can pay for it themselves and get it right. I’d like to say there won’t be an oak cut, but I can’t until an arbourist gets up there and puts a rod down to check.” Allowing questions from the floor: WI resident Dale Sutherland expressed anxiety at finding precious trees marked and feared they would be gone the next day, “ I don’t think they all need to be cut down and I am encouraged that there is a process to follow,” he said. Another acknowledged process, but questioned the intensity of the tree marking paint, while another suggested that signs indicating overhanging trees on lesser travelled parts of the islands might be sufficient as well as a need for an expert to determine state of certain trees. “We are not going to cut anything that doesn’t need to be cut,” CAO Plumley declared. Council was enthusiastic with the request to consider a tree planting program, one cut down, two to replace, for instance. The mayor will follow up with the residents in attendance . Interesting also to note the enthusiasm for WI’s tree expert James Sansom’s work (Just Trees Inc ), In other business: 1.

And then, I would hear the sound of the plunger changing. No longer did the cream slosh against the sides of the churn. It got harder and harder to pound down the cream, and I would know the time had come to lift the wood disc, and peer inside. And there it would be, butter! Mother would come and look inside and agree, the chore was over! She ladled it out into a big granite bowl, and put drops of yellow food colouring into it, stirring it well. The next job would be piling it into the wood mold to come up with pounds just like you could buy in Renfrew. Each pound was then wrapped in wax paper, ready to sell door to door in town. I was so stiff when I finished, I could hardly get off the chair, and my arms would ache well into the day. And I would go over to the creton couch by the cook stove and lay down and close my eyes, still wearing the big pinny and yet to wash my arms and face of the cream splatters. And for the longest time after I would hear in my head the steady plop of the plunger. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Why I was singled out to churn the cream into butter every Saturday was beyond me! It was like all the other chores Mother thought suited someone of my young age. Bringing in the wood to fill the wood box, making sure the basin under the icebox didn’t run over, and emptying the Gerry pots when needed, Mother deemed were all jobs I could handle. But it was churning every Saturday that irked me the most. That was because it took most of the morning, when I could be doing other things I enjoyed more, like playing with my dolls, visiting with my friend Velma, or reading the one book I was allowed to take out of the Renfrew library. As soon as my other chores were done, without saying a word, Mother handed me the big white pinny, which went from under my chin right down to dragging on the floor. The little wood barrel would already be in front of a kitchen chair, with the wood plunger floating around on the cream inside. There was a round wood disc fitted on the top of the barrel, and the hole in the centre was larger in size than the plunger, which also caused me concern. Because once I started working the plunger up and down,

blobs of cream would escape, and it wasn’t unusual to have my apron, and even my face splattered. I learned early at the job that sitting on a cushion helped keep my bottom from falling asleep from the constant movement on the kitchen chair, but nothing could save the ache I felt in my arms within minutes of churning. My arms were thin...in fact, my hateful brother Emerson once said they looked like sticks from the old gnarled tree in our back yard. And by the time only a few minutes had passed at the churning, I ached something fierce from shoulders right down to my fingertips. The cream turned faster, I thought, if it had been well chilled before being put in the churn. And so in the Winter, or early Spring, the job didn’t take as long. But as the days got warmer, and the cream had been in the milk can overnight in the summer kitchen, it seemed to take forever to turn it into butter. I once asked Mother how old I had to be to taken off the job, but she reminded me, since I was the youngest, it would be my chore for just about the rest of my life! And she patted me on the head, smiling, as if that would compensate. And I pictured in my mind being the only one left on the farm with my three brothers and sister all off to exciting jobs in far away places, and me left with the churning every Saturday. I tried not to look at the ticking clock on the kitchen wall. Which, to me, moved at a snail’s pace.

Museum of Health Care celebrates its 25th birthday By Mandy Marciniak mmarcniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Birthday parties are always fun – especially when they include cake, games and historical artefacts. On April 12, the Museum of Health Care in Kingston marked its 25th birthday with a special celebration. “This museum is a fantastic one and one of the very few museums about healthcare in Canada,” said former MP Peter Milliken, member of the Board of Directors. “It really is a hidden gem in our city.” The museum, located in the Ann Baillie Building National Historic Site, is a former residence for student nurses built in 1904 on the ground of Kingston General Hospital. It works to tell the story of Canadian health and medicine and focuses on everything from dental health to medical care during the wars. The museum is constantly growing and according to museum curator, Maxime Chouinard, there are over 40,000 historical items held by the museum. “It is a local museum, but it is also a national museum in its scope,” said Chouinard. “Over the years we have really worked to build up the museum, but there are still many people that don’t know about it.” The museum has also worked to expand its educational programs in recent

years and there are a variety of exhibitions, guided tours, education programs and family programs that run throughout the year now. “We try to gear the programs towards current health issues and approaching kids and making them more comfortable with the medical profession,” said Chouinard. “It is a really rich history to share with people and we really want people to come and experience it.” No birthday party would be complete without games and for his version of a game, Chouinard presented ‘Artefact or Artefiction’ during the party. He presented two historical items and told an elaborate backstory about each of them. He hoped that the game would peak interest and show the level of historical artefacts the museum holds. “It is a fun way to get people interested,” he said. “We really want to show the public that museums, even this one, can be fun.” In the end, the real artefact presented by Chouinard was the graduation hood of University of Toronto graduate John McCrae who would later pen ‘In Flanders Fields’. Overall, the party emphasized the need to promote the museum itself and get the public, both near and far, more interested in Canada’s medical history. “It is a great place to come visit and I hope that we can all encourage others to

Curator of the Museum of Health Care, Maxime Chouinard, played ‘Artefact or Artefiction’ with guests at the museum’s 25th birthday on April 12. Photo/Mandy Marciniak come see it whenever they are in town,” said Milliken. “Happy birthday to the mu-

seum and here’s to many more to come.” For more information about the Mu-

seum of Health Care visit http://www. museumofhealthcare.ca/

Kingston Y Penguin to compete at 2016 Rio Paralympics Rob Mooy

Sports - Congratulations to Y Penguin Abi Tripp. She will be competing against the best in the world at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sept. 7-18. The Kingston athlete, who has cerebral palsy, competed in six events in the S8 division at the Olympic and Para Swim Trials, which took place in Toronto, April 5-10, and has qualified to represent Canada alongside 21 of the nation’s best para-swimmers at. Tripp, 15, who has been with the club for eight years, achieved best times in all of her events, swam to two Canadian records in the 200 metre individual medley and won a silver in the 100 metre backstroke and bronze in the 100 metre free. The talented young swimmer, a Grade 9 student at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School, was pretty excited about the upcoming trials, but went into the trials without to many expectations. Her goals for the games were to embrace the experience of her second big meet. “It’s really just to have fun, gain experience, have some good races and hopefully set some best times,” says Tripp. “Her focus (as it should be at

her age) is to have fun through participation and challenging herself,” says coach Vicki Keith, herself a world-class marathon swimmer who founded the Y Knot Special Abilities program 15 years ago. “She thrives in any opportunity to push herself. She loves to work hard. She loves to find a challenge and then to focus on overcoming each obstacle until she has achieved her goal.” The excitement began on April 14 when she broke a 14-year-old Canadian record in the 100 metre individual medley, only to eclipse it hours later with a time of 2:58.77, shattering the old record of 3:03-04 set by Andrea Cole in 2002. “It felt good going into the races,” says Tripp. “Vicki always reminded me to go and have fun. I know that I can get a better performance if I’m relaxed and enjoying every bit of it. We had done the training I needed to do, so now I just needed to go fast.” And fast she went – surprising even herself. “The results were everything and more than Vicki and I had hoped for. I had made goal times for all my swims and was able to beat each one of them. The medals and Canadian record were not something that I was expecting going into trials.

They were like the icing on top.” “It was so exciting to watch Abi race this week,” says Keith. “Her focus was intense, but she never lost her sense of who she is. She

offered support to her teammates, cheered on her competition and swam with an intensity that is uncommon in an athlete as young as she. At 15, she has a very exciting

career ahead of her.” Tripp was not alone at the pool. Continued on page 24

She was joined by Kingston Y Penguin teammates Rene Hart, Emily Sayeau, Nik Tolgyesi, Chris Sergeant-Tsonos, Cassidy Tran and Robert Hampson, who were are all excited to compete in the national trials alongside their team-mate. “I am so proud of all the Y Penguins,” adds Keith. “They represented Kingston very well both in their efforts in the pool as well as the camaraderie they brought to the pool deck. Teams across the country look up to the Y Penguins, and our athletes are awesome mentors and leaders for the younger and less experienced athletes.” Tripp takes home many memories from the trials, but one is particularly special to her. “One of my best memories was after the 200 IM in the morning. My really good friend, Camille Bréubé, who was at the Para Pan Am Games in Toronto, and has represented Canada on a number of occasions, and I both swam under the Canadian Record. She swims in the S8 class the same as me. We both got best times and I found her after the

race and we had a big hug and she was crying tears of joy.” Tripp is quick to note she could not have come all this way on her own. “Support from my family, friends and team-mates has been outstanding,” says Tripp. “My parents make sure that I have what I need to be the best I can be. They are cheering and supporting whether in the stands or from home. “Vicki (Keith) has been my coach ever since I started swimming. She has been there through all the ups and downs. Vicki is very experienced in coaching and she is a very positive person. I thrive in a positive and supportive environment. Vicki cares about each and every one of her athletes. She believes that each and every one can do anything they set their minds to, no matter what abilities or disabilities.” For now, Tripp will be concentrating on a life-long dream – one which will come true this September. “I can’t believe this is really happening. I have dreamed of being on this team going to Rio ever since I was eight or nine.”

News — Sharbot Lake is a natural spot for a ‘trail’ hub and development, Frontenac County CAO Kelly Pender told Central Frontenac Council at its regular meeting last week in Sharbot Lake. Pender, along with Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal, were at Council to give an update as to activities and priorities at the County. (Frontenac County Warden and Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith was at the CRTC hearings on cell phone gaps). “I look at Sharbot Lake as the place for trail development,” Pender said. Pender told an anecdotal story about being stranded in Bancroft during an ice storm earlier this year. “I couldn’t get a parking spot at the hotel because the lot was full of snowmobiles,” he said. “That tells you a lot about how many people there are that would potentially use trails.” In fact, trips and trails are the County’s No. 1 priority in terms of economic development, he said. They’re followed closely by two related topics — accommodation and food and recreation lifestyle. Pender also outlined the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus priorities for 2016: • Improved/expanded hydro and natural gas service • Closing the cell gap • Monitoring/participating in growth planning for Eastern Ontario • Economic development — leadership council • Policing costs “We will continue to lobby for natural gas expansion,” Pender said. “And anybody who has a teenage daughter knows all about the cell phone gap.” He said as far as economic development

plans go, they’re looking at ways to develop the workforce in the County, developing skills for the jobs that are available. As far as County services go, Pender said he sees major developments that will affect the County’s two largest services — ambulances and Fairmount Home. “Lennox & Addington is looking at closing the Denbigh base and concentrating on the Stone Mills base,” he said. “If they do that, the Parham ambulances won’t be going into L & A much and that should improve our local response times. “There are also plans in Loyalist Township that would have a similar effect on our Sydenham base.” As far as Fairmount goes, Pender said they’re already seeing a shift in terms of the services they provide there as a result of an aging population and the Province’s push to provide more ‘aging at home’ opportunities. “What it means for Fairmount is that people are coming into the home later and sicker,” he said. “So, our programs are changing. “We’re having to provide more bedside care and to do that we’ve had to provide fewer recreational programs.” He said they’re also looking at working with the Limestone District School Board to provide a rural liaison committee for things like school closures, transportation and shared facilities.

The dance of relationships It’s not often that a professional choreographer debuts her work on a Kingston stage. On May 1, during the Juvenis Festival, you’ll get to see the premiere of dancer and choreographer Kay Kenney’s “initially/(un)conditionally” in an afternoon and evening performance at the Baby Grand Theatre. The Juvenis Festival is the region’s inaugural youth arts festival, a weeklong arts showcase for young people between the ages of 13 and 30. The festival features ongoing performing arts productions as well as free workshops and master classes in the arts. Kay Kenney is a graduate of the three year contemporary dance program of the School of Dance in Ottawa. She’s a Kingston native, a graduate of Regiopolis-Notre Dame, and an alumna of the Kingston School of Dance. Since completion of her post-secondary program in Ottawa, she has worked with Social Growl Dance in Toronto and Ottawa Dance Directive. She also trained for two-and-a-half years with the highly respected Peter Boneham. Kenney’s upcoming production involves seven women from various dance backgrounds. “The youngest is 17, the oldest is 30,” said Kay Kenney. “We’re pinpointing all these areas

of age. Having them in one room is really cool.” Kenney loves to people watch, whether it’s an elderly pair who’ve been together for decades or a young couple sitting in the park trying to cuddle for the first time. She was recently in Thailand, where people watching opportunities abound. “When I was in Thailand, I thought about how people meet and how that naturally evolves,” she said. “I’ve been really fascinated with my grandparents’ relationships. One set has been married 60 years this year. The other, it’s 58 years.” Kenny said that there are times when we can feel a relationship with someone we’ve passed three times on the sidewalk even though we’ve never had a real conversation. She’s been watching a lot of videos about long distance relationships and what happens when those people meet for the first time in person. “We’re so different today,” said Kenney. “When our grandparents met each other they were present all the time,” she said. “There was no screen in between them. They fully experienced things in person as a duo.” She said those moments when people meet are the fuel for the “initially/(un)conditionally” dance production. “I’ve been playing with the idea of these girls, these women, going back 100 years and who they would be as the 1920 version of themselves. Every day I’m learning more and more about them. I get them to improv this story while dancing their butts off. I see a whole other side to them that I wouldn’t see if they were just being physical.” Kenney has chosen to use a lot of costumes in the production. “It’s kind of like a velour red living room that

might have thrown up on stage in a glitzy glam kind of way that’s pretty cool.” She raided both of her grandmothers’ closets. “All the costumes are old. I even have my great great grandmother’s wedding dress. It feels so fragile in my hands, but it will make a little appearance. There are also jewels. They help revisit the past. We’re pulling from memories they’ve given to family and friends.” The entire production, aside from the music by Logan Brown and Etienne Lambert, is staffed by women. “I didn’t visualize that when I started this,” said Kenney. “The whole cast is female. So is the stage manager (Taylor Vardy), the costume designer (Lauren Casselman). Everyone. It has this woman power to it.” A huge smile fills her face as she waves her hands around to express the expanse of femaleness to the show. Kenney said “initially/(un)conditionally” started to percolate in her brain about two years ago when she was house sitting for a friend in the Gatineau Hills in Quebec, north of Ottawa. Her grandparents came to visit. During an evening, her grandfather sang some old tunes. Kenney recorded them. “I’ve had the recording on my phone for two years.” Watching her grandparents fascinated Kenney. “Nowadays, it’s so different,” she said. “How we act when we are alone versus how we act in group settings versus how we are with our best friend having a sleepover, the relationships are all different. These dancers, some are at the age I would never want to go back to in a thousand years. They are being so honest in their performances. Their experiences are taking me back and letting me revisit this chunk of my life that I don’t really want to. It’s making me dive a bit deeper than I thought I would.” She said the title “initially/(un)conditionally” is about meeting someone for the first time. Things could go anywhere, from joy to disaster. During her trip to Thailand she wrote in her journal about meeting amazing people. “I had the time of my life with them, and I knew I was probably never going to see them again,” she said. “There was just enough time before things start to get complicated. The title

Photo/Mark Bergin is exactly what that is. Initially can lead to other things. That’s why the ‘un’ is in brackets.” Kenney had been wanting to work on a new production for some time, and, when the Juvenis Festival approached her about doing this, she jumped at the opportunity. She’s an experienced performer and has choreographed shorter pieces, but this is her first full-length work. It will be at least 60 minutes long, with no intermission. Continued on page 29

YOUR SPRING BBQ HEADQUARTERS! Kathryn Johnston, centre, performs with other students in the Regiopolis-Notre Dame production of Mary Poppins last year. Research shows that students who are involved in the performing arts are more likely to excel in academics.

If science could find some magical formula to significantly improve the quality of education with resultant and empirically testable learning scores skyrocketing, wouldn’t we all support that? There is such magic available, and we’re not tapping into it. Imagine the funds that could be saved if we got rid of the huge overflow of government and education system bureaucrats slithering around changing the curriculum every couple of years for no reason other than to justify their own jobs. Now imagine if that funding was channeled into educational improvement in schools. What’s the magic? Performing arts. If we radically increased funding for performing arts education, we’d see testable variables improve drastically. I’ve yet to see any scientific research that supports creating another bureaucratic position. There’s absolutely no data on how inventing yet another unnecessary superintendent position leads to any improvement in the classroom. The only change that comes from increasing the bureaucracy is that one more person is added to the province’s sunshine list. That’s something we can all do without. On the other hand, let’s look at just a tiny fraction of the research on performing arts education. Here are a few general statements, each supported by research. Students involved in the performing arts consistently score higher than their peers in both the verbal and math portions of SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test)

exams. They are four times more likely to enter science fairs. Their school attendance is significantly higher and they perform community service at a much higher rate than students not involved in the performing arts. Children gain academic and life skills through performing. These findings aren’t isolated to one form of performing arts. Similar results are found in students involved in dance, theatre arts, and music. Want to improve children’s math scores? Get them involved in music education. We know that language development is heightened for a child who grows up and develops in a musicallyrich environment. Research has shown that music education is directly related to development of the same area of the brain associated with language processing. In other words, playing a musical instrument helps to develop verbal competence. Researchers Ellen Winner of Boston College and Gottfried Schlaug of Harvard Medical School found that “students who receive music instruction actually undergo brain changes that lead to improved sound discrimination and fine motor tasks. Students involved in music tested higher in both English and math scores, regardless of socioeconomic background.” In fact, the positive influence of music education on academic studies, including math, is even more pronounced in children from low-income families. Dr. James Catterall of the University of California at Los Angeles studied 25,000 students progressing from Grade 8 to Grade 10. Of those 25,000 students, those who studied music and other performing arts “had higher grades, scored better on standardized tests, had better attendance records and were more active in community affairs than other students. He also found that students from poorer families who studied the arts improved overall school performance more rapidly than all other students.” A 2012 study, published in the Journal of NeurosciContinued on page 30

MusicMates opens Kingston’s first social music centre By Rob Mooy

Making music, making friends: that’s what MusicMates’ new social music center is all about. Founded in 2010 by Shera Lumsden, the programs previously offered by MusicMates - both in-home and in the music rooms at Edith Rankin United Church - were very successful, and Lumsden found it was time to find a permanent and accessible place to call home. With the establishment of its new social music center, located within the Collins Bay branch of the Royal Canadian Legion at 4034 Bath Rd, MusicMates will now be able to expand their social and communications skills programming for children, youth and adults with special needs or behaviour issues. Director and founder Shera Lumsden explains that “accessibility is not just about putting a ramp on the front of a building. At MusicMates, programs are offered in a variety of formats so every person can actively participate. MusicMates is a large, caring family. Every individual is accepted and cared for.” She says she began MusicMates

when several parents of children with autism expressed a desire for a music program. “I knew music was very powerful as I had used it in the past with my own daughter who has special needs. My daughter really struggled with gross motor skills so I incorporated music into her physiotherapy exercises and it really helped her.” When Lumsden began running the classes, she quickly noticed that the children were able to socially connect through the music. Upon recognizing this, she turned her focus to using music to facilitate a wide range of skills including social, gross motor and fine motor skills. MusicMates is even set up to accommodate participants who have experienced language deprivation due to hearing loss, verbal impairments or being deaf. In cooperation with friend and TSL (Teaching, Singing, Learning) business partner, Leah Riddell, they have created a unique sign language curriculum that focuses on making MusicMates fully accessible by incorporating sign

I am blessed to be a part of many success stories and achievements. I am honoured to bring peace to people who are coming to the end of their lives.” Lumsden has learned that through music, she can touch a person’s life when nothing else will. “The best part of it all is that I can now teach people how to do what I have been doing for six years and the use of music as a tool for success will spread even further.” She believes it will have a tremendous impact on the Kingston community. “I think the message I would like to get out to the community is that there is something we all have in common. We all, in one way or another, share a common love for music. Tastes may differ, ability to produce music may differ, but we all share the enjoyment of musical sound. It is this commonality that can bring us closer together. I truly believe there is no better way to socially connect than through the use of music. On some level, we are all equal.” Discover more about MusicMates at www.musicmatesinc.com or contact them at musicmatesinc@gmail.

“I think Kingston needs to see this,” she said. “I want to punch them in the face with dance. I will be happy if the audience leaves loving it or hating it. I will be upset if they have no feeling at all. I want people to leave thinking, and seeing what can be done with contemporary dance interpretations.” This production launches the Juvenis Festival. Kenney promised that before the evening show there’ll be a bit of a soirée. “I’d love people to come and have a glass of wine and really just enjoy the world of dance,” she said. “The cool thing about live theatre is that you’ll never experience the same thing again. The show will never be the same at different performances. That’s the best part of live theatre.” She said a lot of people in Kingston have never experienced professional contemporary dance. “We have such stunning performance locations in Kingston, but they’re not being taken advantage of,” said Kenney. “We don’t curate the performing arts enough to bring people in. If we had more people doing this kind of work, people wouldn’t have to go away to train.” Kenney’s “initially/(un)conditionally” is

a particularly unusual performance as the dancers will be breaking the fourth wall, that imaginary boundary between audience and performer, and, at times, speaking directly to the audience during the show. The dancers in the production include Emma Chen, Elysse Chennette, Sasha French, Cristina Goncalves, Melissa Prince, Natasha Prytulka, and Charlotte Tessier. Kenney said that working with Emma Chen has been particularly interesting. “I was her first contemporary dance teacher when she was eight years old at the Kingston School of Dance,” said Kenney. “She’s no longer little Emma. Now she’s a young woman, and I learn more about her every day. It’s super cool to have seen her evolve.” The Juvenis Festival is produced by Blue Canoe Theatrical Productions and supported by the City of Kingston Arts Fund. An Awesome Kingston grant allowed Kenney to take this production to another level. “That grant gave me the ability to take this production to its full potential,” she said. “If you’re doing a show like this, you want it to be great. The grant has allowed that to happen.” Tickets for “initially/(un)conditionally” are available in person at the Grand Theatre Box Office on Princess Street or online at kingstongrand.ca.

ence, indicated that playing a musical instrument “significantly enhances the brainstem’s sensitivity to speech sounds. This relates to encoding skills involved with music and language.” Studies in The Journal for Research in Music Education have shown that “young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year....Musically-trained children performed better in a memory test that is correlated with general intelligence skills such as literacy, verbal memory, visuospatial processing, mathematics, and IQ.” A recent Kennedy Center Arts Edge publication pointed out the importance of dance in the educational environment. “Dance provides extra benefits to students’ health and well-being beyond activities found in a regular gym class. In addition to getting kids’ hearts racing, [dance] increases flexibility, agility, coordination, and spatial awareness. At the same time, it develops children’s expressive, musical, motor, and auditory skills. And dance offers a non-competitive alternative to sports—one in which visually, mentally, and physically disabled children can easily engage.” The National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) in the United States has a wealth of information on the benefits of dance in public education. They point to studies from the University of Illinois indicating that dance activities have been shown to increase skills and understanding of reading, math, science, and anatomy. Dana Foundation research indicates that dance can benefit children’s ability to learn new information because it stimulates the brain’s visual, auditory, and memory centers. Also, according to the NDEO, dance helps children develop literacy. “To the young child, verbal language and movement are entwined. Preverbal movement expression does not cease when a child develops language. The road to literacy involves the translation of movement expression and communication into words. Learning language and learning dance are not separate threads, but are woven together and incorporated into a fabric of communication

and understanding.” Likewise, theatre arts benefit children. “The Effects of Theatre Education,” a 2015 study by Jay Green, Collin Hitt, Anny Kraybill and Cari Bogulski, examined the effects of culturally enriching field trips. Forty-nine schools, including 670 students took part in the study. It was found that students who attended live theatre, as opposed to reading the works or seeing a film, had an enhanced understanding (including plot knowledge and vocabulary) of the literature itself. This makes sense and was predicted. A live performance is certainly more exciting than reading a script. However, what was unexpected was that students who attended live theatre scored significantly higher in areas of tolerance of other people and ideas. Seeing live theatre also benefits students in being able to recognize the emotions of others. This particular study was simply looking at attending live theatre. When we look at the benefits to students in becoming involved in theatre arts and drama studies, the results again are overwhelmingly in favour of supporting arts within the educational environment. These are a few examples. Literally thousands of research studies have conclusively shown the importance of the performing arts in enhancing all forms of education, resulting in improvement in areas such as language and math skills. We need fewer bureaucrats interfering with the education of our children. Following the trend of some new author and changing the curriculum every few years (or even more often) keeps thousands of bureaucrats employed, but there’s little proof that it improves the education of our young people. Dump much of the Ministry of Education and other bureaucrats and pour their salaries into performing arts programs in elementary and high schools. End the ridiculous EQAO testing and funnel the millions of dollars wasted on that political window dressing into performing arts in schools. Less administration and more front line work: It seems so blatantly obvious if you look at the research. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

Hanshi Ken Tallack with some of the students that will be travelling to Japan April 23 to May 1. Photo/Mandy Marciniak

By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – Many martial arts students dream about taking a trip to Japan and seeing where it all began; for some students at Tallack Martial Arts in Kingston, that dream is becoming a reality this month. “We are travelling to Kyoto for the 1222 martial arts festival, which has been held, not every year, since the year 792,� explained Hanshi Ken Tallack. “Every four years they open it up to international members and these students are lucky enough to attend and be part of it.� On April 23, Tallack and more than 20 students will travel to Kyoto to be part of the 5th annual World Butokusai (martial arts festival). The main objective of the festival is to promote friendship and cultural connectivity between attending nations and to showcase their respective martial arts styles for all attendees to enjoy. Tallack is a member of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, the Japanese imperial family’s martial arts governing body. The school focuses on classical martial arts training and on this trip students will see firsthand the history that influences that training and some will even receive a very valuable souvenir. “Several of these students will receive their black belt in Japan and that is really special,� said Tallack. “I have taken several groups over and some of them found out the hard way that

just buying a ticket does not guarantee that they will get a black belt, but I am confident all of these students will succeed.� The trip is one of many that Tallack has taken to Japan and while it will be a first for many students, it will be the second trip for Sensei Melanie Loxton. “I am looking forward to so much,� she said. “There are the events and the days demonstrations, there are the seminars and the culture. I loved it when I was there last time. Everything was so different and exciting.� The trip will be a first for Steve Petsikas, a student with Tallack for more than 13 years. Petsikas is a bit nervous about the trip but also very excited. “I am most excited to meet like-minded people my age,� he explained. “I am nervous about my presentation, though. I do a martial art called Iaido with Japanese swords and it is held in very high regard. They invented it and now I am presenting it in front of the board of masters. It is a bit intimidating.� Loxton also felt that intimidation on her first trip, but now she tells other students to try and relax and just enjoy the whole experience. “I know it is very nerve-wracking for everyone with all the strict protocols and the masters we are around, but I really just want them to relax and enjoy it,� she said. “It is a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to it.�

Queen’s nursing students work to create safe breastfeeding spaces on campus By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – University campuses are often thought of as places filled with young students, partying and having a good time, but many university campuses are also filled with mothers, families and children. To address this second group of university goers and their needs, two Queen’s University School of Nursing students are working to make campus more family and breast-feeding friendly. “We took on the project as part of our community nursing placement,” explained Rachel Hannigan, a second year compressed track nursing student. “We really built off of an idea that our supervisor had and went from there.” Hannigan and her partner, Kyrinne Lockhart, collaborated with supervisor Katie Goldie and certified lacta-

tion consultant Alicia Papanicolaou to find a way to make campus more breastfeeding friendly. They initially looked at how to change policy on the issue, but quickly realized that was out of reach for their time frame. “We met with a lot of people around campus and we discovered that policy based changes were really difficult and would take about five years,” said Hannigan. “Instead, we decided to find spaces on campus that were breastfeeding friendly and allow for those who aren’t comfortable breastfeeding in public to have a private space to go, and also for those who are pumping and need a space to do it.” While the students were unable to research exactly how many students this would benefit because of ethical reasons, they were able to research why many women stop breastfeeding. “We identified returning to work or school as the second biggest reason

that women choose to stop breastfeeding,” explained Lockhart. “We found that supportive spaces on campus, something that is so easy, could really help women who wish to continue to breastfeed a little longer.” Through their project, Hannigan and Lockhart were able to create or designate three spaces on campus as friendly breastfeeding areas: the Ban Righ Centre as well as a private room within it; a room at the John Deutsch University Centre (JDUC) and a room at the School of Nursing. “The whole Ban Righ Centre has always been a friendly space for breastfeeding and the room at the JDUC was actually just designated as a parenting room,” explained Hannigan. “So, we were able to piggyback on things that were already being used for this purpose but weren’t labeled specifically as breastfeeding spaces.” The third space, at the School of Nursing, is a clinical examination room that is only used at certain times of the year and empty for the rest.

“It only gets use at the end of the semester when clinical instructors meet with students,” said Lockhart. “It is a really great example of a space that can be multi-purpose. A mother can come to the front desk and ask to use the room, get the keys and use the space.” Response to the rooms has been tough to assess, but both Lockhart and Hannigan have heard from professors and students who wish the rooms had existed before.

pus. Photo/Mandy Marciniak some great feedback in that sense and we hope that continues,” said Lockhart. “If one student needs the space, it is worth having. We should be accommodating.” The duo hopes

that the spaces continue to multiply on campus and they really hope to nail down a space on west campus soon. “We have these two really great rooms, but we are also hoping to find spaces around campus that are like the school of nursing room and aren’t being used all the time and can double as a space for breast-feeding,” said Hannigan. “It is so easy to set it up and so beneficial for the students.”

KCVI student wins prestigious scholarship for music production By Mandy Marciniak mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

News – For 17 year-old Jack Marko, music has always been a passion. His love for music started with electronica and the work of DJs, but five years ago Marko decided to take the music into his own hands. “I started working on music production and now I work on my music every day at my studio at home,” explained Marko, a Grade 12 student at KCVI. “I love putting the music together, creating mixes and creating different sounds and then layering those together to make something new.” Marko’s passion for music production has grown throughout the years and when he was looking for options beyond high school, he was immediately attracted to the Nimbus School of Recording and Media in Vancouver. The school was founded by industry professionals and it focuses on offering small class sizes, mentorship from industry experts and handson training in real studios. The school also runs an annual mixing contest for incoming students to help with tuition costs and Marko was keen to enter. “It was my number one choice,” he said. “I started working on my submission for the contest before it was even announced and I really wanted to win.” Marko did win; he beat out numerous other high school students from across the country and picked up a $25,000 scholarship to Nimbus for his mix of Canadian artist Lights’ song ‘Same Sea’. “There were three options and I liked the Lights song the best. I thought it would really

fit my style of music,” he explained. “The mix took me about three months and that is working on it numerous hours a day. I was happy to see it finished and even happier when I learned that I won.” Marko remembers the moment he heard that he won. “I was just screaming and jumping up and down,” he said. “They released the winners on their Facebook page and when I heard my song I just lost it.” Marko’s friends and family were also excited and he attributes much of his success to their support over the years. “All of my friends have been so supportive and they love my music. They love hearing new mixes,” he said. “My parents are so supportive too and they love the music and they want to see me succeed.” The scholarship will enable Marko to start school in September at Nimbus and he hopes to complete the one-year beats and urban music production diploma. He is excited to get into the industry more and learn as much as possible. “I really just want to learn as much as possible and I want to take as much from the program as I can,” he said. “I want to make a lot of connections, learn and create more music and really just work more on my sound and production.” For now, Marko is taking a bit of a break from music, but he is still working on creating new material every day. He is also looking forward to the next step for his career. “I hope to one day be a major music producer and this is just the beginning.” To listen to Jack Marko’s mix visit https://nimbusmixcontest.appspot.com/winners
