Border guards strip searched busload of students, documents show By Alex Boutilier, Ottawa Bureau and Nevil Hunt, Metroland Media
News — A busload of American college and university students was strip searched by Canadian border guards three years ago in an incident that violated government policy and may have contravened the Charter of Rights of Freedoms, documents show. According to an internal Canadian Border Services Agency report that was obtained by Metroland Media and the Toronto Star, the mass strip search was carried out at the Thousand Islands Bridge border crossing in Lansdowne, Ont., on Dec. 31, 2011. The bus, carrying 48 American students aged 18 to 25, was headed to Montreal to ring in the New Year, followed by a couple of days of skiing at Mont Tremblant. The students were mostly males, but there were at least 10 females. The report said the tour bus arrived at the crossing around 11 a.m. that day. When an initial immigration check revealed “past criminality” among some of the passengers, the students were asked to step off the bus. A search of the vehicle revealed six grams of marijuana and a small amount of what was believed to be cocaine, the report said. The following several hours were “a nightmare … it was a horror story,” one passenger said in an interview. The man, now 27, requested his name not be used for this story. “I had to go into a room, with two guys that were sitting at a table, and take off all my clothes, and then drop my pants and turn around,” he said. “(The passengers) were pretty agitated … There were some girls crying. They were pretty upset.” It’s not clear why CBSA launched the review, or if anyone had complained about the incident. But the documents show the CBSA kept the strip

search under wraps for more than three years, waiting to see if details would leak out before commenting. “If the issue becomes known to politicians or the media (it) could raise questions about CBSA’s mandate and authority to conduct personal searches of travelers,” the review said. A media plan was drafted and a statement was readied in case reporters contacted CBSA for comment. The office of Vic Toews, the public safety minister at the time, signed off on the initial communications plan on Jan. 3, 2012. In a statement issued Thursday, CBSA spokesperson Chris Kealey said that the agency reviewed its strip search policies after the incident and sent an operational bulletin to all staff in February 2012. “For example, each individual case is to be looked at independently of any other traveller and that the presence of specific indicators for that traveller be considered,” Kealey wrote in an email. “In addition, learning modules were developed on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and CBSA Personal Searches ... and have been part of the core curriculum for all new CBSA officers since the fall of 2012.” The report also made several observations and recommendations and said that “a greater focus on the legislation, policies/guidelines (around strip searches) and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is required to address deficiencies.” A separate memo, written after the initial report, said: “The decision….to conduct the 48 personal searches was not in keeping with CBSA Policies and Procedures.” The memo stated that after the students were taken

Tax Season: Council aims for 2.5 per cent annual property tax increase in its term News – City councillors say they will aim for a property tax increase of no more than 2.5 per cent in each year of their term, but many question whether the rate is realistic. Councillors wrapped up their priority-setting talks in a classroom setting at the Queen’s School of Business April 20 with a lengthy discussion about how high local taxes will have to rise to cover municipal expenses. The city’s 2015 operating budget is $338 million. In a close 7-6 vote, they decided to ask the chief administrative officer (CAO) to report back to them on the pros and cons of sticking to a 2.5 per cent tax increase in each of 2016, 2017 and 2018. “We need to be getting the tax rate in line with inflation,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson, noting the inflation rate is estimated to be around two per cent. He admits that sticking to a 2.5 per cent rate cap won’t be easy. “Does that mean that we’re going to have to make some tough
target. He says the 2.5 per cent target is “extreme” and may be setting the stage for service cuts. He says councillors keep asking staff to find more efficiencies. “Frankly, you run out of efficiencies at some point in time.” Coun. Neill says keeping the tax rate artificially low could be a recipe for problems, and he may rethink his support for projects such as the Rideau Heights or Pittsburgh community centres, both in the process of being developed. The city can afford the buildings, but it may not be able to operate them with future budget cuts. “We may end up with buildings that you’re struggling to maintain,” he argued. Coun. Rob Hutchison also voted against the tax target, noting residents are more concerned about civic services such as snow plowing, pothole repairs and transit. “We are selling a quality of life. I can’t see how we can have that if we start cutting services.” He added: “2.5 percent means services cuts. Make no mistake.” However, Mayor Paterson says
the tax target is just that, and can be altered depending on what service impacts are identified by staff later this spring. He says it doesn’t hurt to ask for options. “I’m a big believer that necessity is the mother of invention.” Coun. Kevin George joined the slim majority of council that wants staff to spell out the service impacts of a 2.5 percent tax increase. “They’ll give us the good, the bad and the ugly at the end of the day.” He doubts the service impacts will be as detrimental as some think. “I think we can still offer the same service levels we have today but we have to take a look at how we’re providing them.” The mayor says the previous council challenged staff to keep tax rates low, and they met the challenge without affecting service levels. “There are opportunities to form partnerships when it comes to operating the Pittsburgh community centre, or installing more energy efficient light bulbs from street lights,” he listed as examples. “There are always those options out
there. We’ve just got to hunt for them.” The priority talks identified six key themes for councillors to focus on, including capital projects such as getting the third bridge crossing shovel ready, expanding Norman Rogers Airport and completing the widening of John Counter Boulevard.

decisions and that we’re going to have to look really hard at how the city operates? Yes, but I think that that’s our job.” The 2.5 per cent target is identical to what the previous council had approved in the past few years, which added an extra $90 a year to the average residential tax bill. But times have changed and achieving the same targets could be much more difficult, city officials warned. CAO Gerard Hunt says the property tax rate should be at least one per cent higher, around 3.7 percent a year, to cover inflationary expenses, raise funds for capital projects, accommodate budgets of external agencies, and to implement some of council’s new priorities. The gap between council’s target of 2.5 per cent and the staff proposed 3.7 percent rate equals a revenue shortfall of about $2 million a year – money the city will either have to find through new revenues or spending cuts, Hunt advised council.

Students strip searched at Thousand Islands Bridge off the bus that morning, border officials sent for a drug sniffing dog – the nearest available was at the Ottawa airport – for further inspection. The dog found nothing. Their superior then asked for all 48 students to be strip searched, one by one, in the single “personal search” room at the facility. The report says the request came directly from Chief Mark Pergunas, the top border officer at the crossing. Reached Thursday afternoon at the Thousand Islands bridge facility, Pergunas declined to comment. “No comment, thanks very much,” Pergunas said. “I understand you’re talking to some other folks at CBSA. And they’ll cover off on anything.” Kealey said Pergunas approved the search without notifying his superiors, but did not say if he had faced any discipline. After the strip searches began, two more students admit-

would likely have a good case that those rights were violated. “Courts have said entering the country you have diminished expectation of privacy, but that doesn’t mean your right ceases to exist,” Ryder said in an interview. “It strikes me that a small amount of drugs shouldn’t raise the suspicion that extends to everybody on the bus. To strip search everyone strikes me as unreasonable under those circumstances.” More than three years later, a Charter challenge seems unlikely. But the passenger said the experience left the students jarred. He said he’s crossed the Canadian border 25 times or more, but “that was definitely the worst experience (he) ever had.” While the searches violated CBSA policy, both the internal report and senior management complimented the professionalism of the front-line border agents involved – if not their managers. “Great job by all,” a CBSA official wrote after the incident. “Back to normal now.”

Tett Centre to get another tenant, one that caters to appetites By Bill Hutchins
News – Something new is brewing at Kingston’s newly-renovated Tett Centre. Tenants of the city’s arts and cultural facility say they are thrilled that city council approved the opening of a café on the main floor of the building on King Street West. “It’s a place for gathering. There’s no place there to enjoy a coffee and the lakefront,” explained Nadine Baker, co-chair of board for the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. Tenants, visitors, students and other users of the Tett Centre and the nearby Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts quickly realized the two facilities are a food desert - no place to buy a snack. But soon, there’ll be room for dessert. “Since the groups moved in they have heard a lot of advice that a café would assist in integrating the different activities. There is no dedicated food service,” agreed city commissioner Cynthia Beach, who recommended the addition of a café to council April 21. It will offer coffee, sandwiches, pastries and limited alcoholic beverages, subject to a liquor licence, from one of the most coveted rooms in the Tett Centre. “It’s a view like no other. The café extends to a patio right beneath the malting tower with nothing between you and the lakefront,” Baker added. The 28-seat restaurant, to be called Juniper
Café, will be catered by Epicurious and open to users of both the Tett and Bader centres. Tett tenants, who gathered at council to applaud the addition, call it a sweet deal that completes the arts cluster. But it’s not open for business just yet. The board must still raise $75,000 to outfit the private business venture without any tax support from city hall. So far, the board has collected about $30,000 in pledges to make it turn-key ready. The city set up the arm’s length Tett board of directors to ensure the facility is granted taxexempt status. The café, however, will have to pay property taxes and contribute to the Tett’s operating costs. “It’s going to be a completely separate operation,” said Baker of the cafe. Beach says the original business plan did not include a provision for food service in 2010. “At the time we didn’t know the programming. We kept things simple.” However, councillors agreed to alter the business plan to include food on the menu of services provided in the arts hub. The indoor/outdoor café is expected to open later this year.

ted to having about 30 pills. The passenger who spoke to the Star said some of those pills were adderall or similar drugs, prescribed but without proper documentation. The incident report referenced amphetamines. Sources who were not present during the search but have knowledge about what went on said front-line officers were uncomfortable with the request for the mass strip search. Worried they may have been breaking the law, the officers began taking notes to “cover their asses,” one of the sources said in an interview. “When someone on an airplane gets stopped with drugs, (you) don’t strip search everyone on the plane. (You) do a strip search only as a last resort. And in this case there were no more indicators of further drugs.” The passenger said the guards seemed uncomfortable. “It seemed like they didn’t really want to be there,” he said. Bruce Ryder, a professor at Osgoode Hall law school in Toronto, said Charter rights extend to travelers crossing into Canada, and that the students

New intermediate and secondary school to be built on QECVI property hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
News - Last week, trustees of the Limestone District School Board selected the 16-acre property at the site of Queen Elizabeth Collegiate and Vocational Institute to build a new intermediate and secondary school for central Kingston. The decision was made in a 7-2 vote, with only trustees David Jackson and Paula Murray voting against the motion. In doing so, trustees also rejected the prospect of building a second school at the LCVI site, an idea they had been contemplating during preceding weeks. “Having two high schools directly across the street from each other in a residential neighbourhood just didn’t make sense to me,� said Alec Ross, trustee for Kingscourt-Strathcona and King’s Town Districts. The new school, which is expected to accommodate 1,340 students, will bring together secondary schools QECVI and KCVI, as well as Module Vanier, a French immersion school for Grades 7 and 8 currently located in the KCVI building. While Ross said DYSON there is “no SELECT question� that the loss of a school

at the KC site will be felt in Kingston’s downtown core, there is no doubt in his mind as both a father of a high school aged son and a trustee that the right decision was made for local youth. “I know that the trustees ultimately made the right call for students and the Limestone school district as a whole, which is what we are supposed to do. But in the process we dealt a blow to the city core. Not a fatal blow - our downtown is amazingly resilient, thanks to the people who live and work there - but one that may sting in the short term.� Now that the site has been decided, the board will turn its attention to the design of the new school. A design committee, made up of students, parents, school staff and board support staff will work with ZAS Architects Inc. on a preliminary design concept. Construction will begin once the design has been finalized and a contractor chosen; it’s estimated to take about two years, which means the new school could be open by the 2018-2019 school year. The board will also be establishing a new school integration committee, the aim of which will be to “ensure an inclusive transition plan that takes into account the

legacies of both schools�, according to an LDSB press release. But not everyone is happy about the decision to build a new school. Jordan Morelli, chair of the parent council at Rideau PS and father of two children enrolled at that school and one at KCVI, was disappointed that the LDSB initially rejected the idea of keeping all three downtown high schools open. “Three or four years down the road, when the new school finally does open up, I anticipate that they will have considerably fewer students than the LDSB estimates,� he said. “Recent surveys strongly suggest that this will be the case.� Morelli said he will probably send his two younger children to either LCVI, which is within walking distance of their home, or Regiopolis Notre Dame, as opposed to the new school. While he believes many other students will likely migrate to one of these two downtown schools, he said nothing will fill the great void left in Kingston’s downtown core. “The Kingston downtown neighbourhoods have been seeing a resurgence over the past years and are teeming with families with school aged children. Unfortunately these children will

Ambulance of the future arrives in Frontenac County this fall By Bill Hutchins
News – The next generation ambulance will arrive in Kingston and Frontenac County this fall. The county, which manages land ambulance service in the area, will be testing the first ambulance of its kind in Canada. “It’s a very interesting project,” said Paul Charbonneau, the county’s chief of paramedic services. It’s a new safety concept ambulance that’s cheaper to run and more compact than the typical boxstyle ambulance. Charbonneau describes it as the most innovative ambulance design in 40 years that puts the safety of medics and patients in mind, and is optimistic that it could eventually replace the current fleet. “We can’t keep getting these ambulances to be heavier and bigger. We are concerned about the weight and fuel costs. We’re concerned for the safety. It’s harder for paramedics to look after the patient.” Ferno Corporation in Ohio and Crestline, which designed the new ambulance and its interior features, approached Frontenac County to carry out the first testing of the custom-made 2014 Mercedes Sprinter vehicle in Canada. “Only one concept ambulance will come into service in Septem-
ber. It’ll go through a three month trial period. Depending on how successful it is, we are looking at putting five more into service,” explained Charbonneau. Each ambulance costs about $131,000, slightly more than the current model, and it’s already being tested in a city in Missouri and Great Britain. Unlike the current vehicles, this newly-designed one isn’t as wide. But it’s what’s inside that has caught the attention of county officials. Paramedics are used to reaching over a patient to get to life saving equipment stored in cupboards during the transport to hospital. With this design, the paramedic remains safely seated and restrained in a bucket seat and safety harness that’s within easy reach of the patient, while supply bags, monitors, oxygen and IV equipment hang along the side with
quick-release mounts on a track system. This design avoids the scenario of someone standing up in a moving vehicle, which is dangerous if the driver has to suddenly swerve or stop. In addition, the old-style cup-
kits, obstetrical kits, airway kits are all modularized. So it’s a lot easier for the paramedic to get at the equipment they need,” said Charbonneau. In addition to new seating, cabinetry and lighting, the ambulances come equipped with technology that can monitor the vehicle’s location and transmit vital medical data from the patient to the hospital. “We are looking at the feasibility of broadcasting ECG’s (electro-cardiograms) from the ambulance to the hospital for a heart attack patient, so the cardiologist can see exactly what the paramedic is seeing on the screen.” Another important piece of equipment is meant to take the strain off the backs of paramedics, who won’t have to lift a patient into the back of the ambulance anymore. The stretchers are wheeled to the
boards containing medical equipment will be replaced with softsided mobile bags. “What we’re doing is replacing the cupboards with kits that can be easily moved into the house for the patient; burn
back, and then hydraulics can automatically place the patient into the vehicle without the need for heavy lifting. “We’ve gone from physically having to lift the stretcher up that 30 inches with the patient on it to simply walking up and allowing the wheels to collapse underneath and push them in.” The county has approved spending $730,000 on power-assisted stretchers regardless of whether it proceeds with the new ambulance purchase. It’s a cost that will be phased in over six years, Charbonneau added. County officials briefed city councillors on some of the new advancements April 21. The City of Kingston doesn’t manage the ambulance fleet, but must pay 78 per cent of the ambulance budget, or about $6 million in 2015. The Frontenac Paramedic Service responds to about 20,000 calls a year.

News – As city councillors await staff options to try and keep future property taxes low, the search for savings has already started in earnest. Some councillors have openly voiced the need to review the amount of tax funding they provide each year to KEDCO, the city’s economic development and tourism agency. “Why are we paying such extreme amounts of dollars for what we’re seeing in return?” asked Coun. Kevin George. He wants to launch a detailed review to determine whether Kingston is getting good value for the amount of funding provided to KEDCO, which received $2.7 million in local tax dollars this year. “I would like to see it reviewed. That’s my perspective alone. I haven’t spoken with anyone else on council about it but I think it’s something we need to identify.” Coun. Adam Candon agrees KEDCO’s budget needs closer scrutiny. Coun. Candon says he did a cursory review of what other municipalities spend on economic development and the results surprised him. He says taxpayers in Kitchener-Waterloo invest $3 per capita on economic development compared with Kingston’s $18 per capita amount for KEDCO. “It would appear we are paying a significant amount more than what we should be,” he told a council priority workshop April 20. Coun. Candon, a local real estate agent, pointed to some of the unsold land in municipally-owned business parks around Kingston as an example of how the economic agency needs to better explain its mandate. “I feel like we may be paying (KEDCO) a premium for business parks that don’t even have a ‘For Sale’ sign on them.” KEDCO officials are quick to point out that they are responsible for more than just economic development. Tourism marketing and promotion is also under their umbrella of responsibilities. Coun. Rob Hutchison, who was recently appointed to KEDCO’s board, says it’s always been difficult to quantify and assess the agency’s performance due to the competitive and uncertain nature of its business. “I do think they are doing some good things. Whether we are getting full value for our dollar is a very difficult assessment to make.”
Coun. Candon insists he has no personal axe to grind in wanting to review the level of funding for economic development, adding the public has approached him with questions about spending on economic development, and he doesn’t have answers. “Maybe the budget goes up. Maybe it goes down. Maybe it stays where it is. I have no idea. But that’s a conversation we need to have because there are a lot of unknowns.” One area where several councillors have expressed concern is what they view as the poor job KEDCO did to justify its request for a spending increase during the recent budget talks. “They should be the industry leader in giving convincing presentations to facilitate their cause, and I’m not sure that necessarily happened,” explained Coun. Candon. “I was not satisfied with the budget presentation,” agreed Coun. Hutchison. The city will spend a total of $65 million on external agencies this year – including CRCA, public health, Kingston Police, Fairmount Home, Downtown BIA, KingstonFrontenac Public Library and KEDCO. KEDCO is one of the few agencies where the city has more control over how much it can contribute. Another area that may get closer scrutiny in the coming months is the city’s middle management workforce. Coun. George suggested City Hall may be top heavy with managers. “I’d just like to see an evaluation of how our departments are being run. Are we top heavy as some may want us to believe we are?” George, who owns a Kingston land surveying company, says the city should be more aggressive to search for efficiencies, just as the private sector would be, in order to minimize the tax impact on residents. “That’s the challenge. All of us out in the private sector are facing that every day. Because it’s a competitive world out there you have to find those efficiencies in order to be able to run a business and make a profit.” Councillors were told that they’ll have to find about $2 million in annual savings in order to keep future tax increases at 2.5 per cent or less.

Learning to ride a bike is hard, but continuing to ride it responsibly is harder
Editorial - ‘It’s like riding a bike’ is a common comparison that a lot of us use when talking about skills we never forget. While this may be true, many of us could use a bit of a refresher when it comes to how to ride a bike from time to time, especially if we choose to ride on city streets. I remember learning to ride a bike. It was harder than I expected. For the longest time I refused to let my dad take the training wheels off of my pretty pink bike with streamers and spoke beads that made noise when the wheels moved. I loved riding my bike, I just had a fear of falling off. My fear was justified shortly after my training wheels were removed when I took a big fall. I remember practicing and practicing and then when I was finally able to ride and keep balance I invited my dad to come watch. I rode my bike proudly down the sidewalk in front of our
house before losing balance in front of the fence. I smashed my face into the fence and skinned both my knees. It was horrible and embarrassing and it took me a while to get back on the bike, but like all kids I eventually did and had a relatively stress free bike riding career after that. I think many kids probably have similar experiences, but as we grow up and become adults we forget about these experiences and just ride our bikes. Many of us move on to ride our bikes to school or even work and we forget about how hard it was to learn; maybe we also forget about the cycling rules that we were taught when we were learning. We all learned to ride with caution and to obey the rules of the road. When we got older we learned to drive with traffic, obey stop signs and stop lights, use a bell when needed and install lights on our bikes if riding in the dark. I am assuming we all learned these rules, but it seems that so many people have forgotten them or are just too lazy to obey them. I drive around Kingston a lot for this job and one thing I have noticed more and more is cyclists who choose to disobey the rules of the
Kanata Kourier-Standard
Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide
road. They run through stop signs, they cross at pedestrian crosswalks on their bikes when it’s convenient and in some cases they even run red lights if the intersection is clear. I know that motorists aren’t perfect either and I certainly am not, but when I see bikes disregarding the rules in this way it really upsets me. I would never run a red light intentionally just because there were no cars coming. I know that this is illegal and it feels wrong. Does it not feel the same for a cyclist? Do they behave that way when they drive a car? I am rather prone to road rage when I’m driving and Korey tells me to calm down on a regular basis, but if I take the time to drive with caution and obey the rules of the road I expect others to do the same. I don’t think that is expecting too much. I know that there is a flip side to this and that many cyclists probably have similar observations and complaints about motorists. We, as humans, aren’t perfect, but we can do our best to drive according to the rules that have been set out, whether that is in a car or on a bike. It shouldn’t make a difference.
In Our Opinion
Refining or redefining the public good? Editorial - In this age of perpetual austerity, all levels of government are increasingly looking at selling off publically held assets as a way to balance the books and provide the appearance of being competent stewards of taxpayer dollars. For example, the federal government recently sold off its stake in General Motors for $3.3 billion dollars as a way at arrive at an election year surplus of $1.4 billion. A closer inspection, however, reveals that the government actually lost about $0.7 billion on the deal, as Ottawa’s contribution to the effort to save GM in 2009 was about $4 billion. So we ask: are these deals actually in the taxpayers’ best interests? Now, the Ontario government is looking at ways to balance its own books, as the province languishes in an $11 billion structural deficit. One solution proposed by bureaucrats is to sell off part of Ontario Hydro. The Wynne government has been careful, insisting that the transmission of power to Ontario homes and businesses will remain a government responsibility. No one shareholder will own more than 10 per cent, and the government will always retain a 40 per cent controlling stake with the ability to fire anyone on the board who disagrees with Queen’s Park policy. But the question remains, can taxpayers really trust this new P3 partnership with one its most fundamental commodities? We’ve been down this road before. Remember the 407? The Ontario government sold it to a multi-national corporation for a song. Now, what was supposed to be a viable alternative for regular bypass of the GTA’s infamous gridlock is practically unaffordable thanks to privatization. We believe that hydro privatization is not a good idea, no matter what the assurances. There are better ways to raise a buck. This kind of public asset sale only benefits those well-healed shareholders who recognize a captive market when they see one, and taxpayers will once again pay the price.

Sisterhood of Hotel Dieu nurses returns to Kingston for special reunion celebrating many milestones By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca
changes in the nursing field. “When you’ve constantly worked all those years you just kind of blend into the changes… One of the biggest changes in nursing too is I think it was a bit more of a vocation than a profession in my day, and I think that came as a result of us all living together in residence for three years, being trained by the sisters here.” Now, Koster is simply looking forward to reconnecting with all her old friends over the reunion weekend, which will include activities such as a special mass, a luncheon and more. “The gallery [at Hotel Dieu] will be open for everyone to see the archives, and then we go over to the Harbour Restaurant for lunch. Lots of stuff takes place at the luncheon. There will be speeches and every year they add to a video loop that plays so you can see all the pictures and whatnot. I’m very excited about this.”

News - These days, young people aspiring to become nurses attend college or university for their education, but for a good part of the 20th century – 1915 – 1974 to be exact, many nurses trained right here in Kingston at Hotel Dieu Hospital’s St. Joseph’s School of Nursing, under the tutelage of nuns. 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the school’s opening, and it’s a very special year of milestones for the school’s graduating class of 1965; not only is it the 50th anniversary of their graduation, but they were also the 50th class to graduate, and it’s the first time in 50 years that one particular classmate will reunite with the rest at their reunion weekend, to be held May 2 – 3. Class of ’65 representative Jo-Ann Koster explains that each graduating class of nurses holds a reunion every five years – and they’re far from your average reunions. “We graduated 46 [nurses], we have lost four to death and two are missing in action, so that leaves 40 and of that 40 I have 32 coming, so that’s exciting,” she says, noting that the high attendance is undoubtedly a testament to the strong sense of sisterhood the women formed when studying together for years at St. Joseph’s and living in the school’s Jeanne Mance residence, which once stood where hospital’s Brock Street entrance is now. “I know people who have graduated from St. Lawrence or Queen’s and whatnot who get maybe five people back for a 25 year reunion. Here we are getting all this turnout every year.” Indeed, Koster remarks that one of the biggest things that was lost when the school moved to
St. Lawrence College in 1975 was that strong sense of camaraderie. “If you were a Queen’s student or a St. Lawrence student, you lived on your own [for most of your studies]. You went home to your apartment; you didn’t maintain that bond.” Of the 46 graduates of the class of ’65, only nine still live in Kingston, yet the majority still make the trek back every five years to reconnect with their sister nurses. Classmate Pat Savage is coming all the way from Vancouver, returning for the reunion for the first time in 50 years. “She’s having some pretty significant health issues and wrote me the other day because she was on the fence about whether she could make it,” Koster says. “She said well, after 50 years, I don’t want to miss that camaraderie that will be had. So she’ll be on a walker with a brace on her knee, but she wouldn’t miss coming.” Often someone will prepare a special surprise for a reunion, such as a quilt featuring all of the graduates’ photos, which was made by Noreen Tretick for the class’ 40th anniversary 10 years ago. The quilt will be featured prominently at the 50th reunion this year. Koster says that being a nurse was all she ever ever dreamed of growing up; she loved her job and worked for decades at Hotel Dieu. Though she retired in October, she still works at the hospital one day a week as a pediactric diabetes nurse educator. Over the years, she has of course seen significant technological changes. “In my day there was no telemetry unit with cardiac monitor. When you had a patient on complete bed rest you literally did everything for them - shaved them, washed them, bathed them, toileted them, cleaned their teeth.” Still, she remarks that there was never really one big ‘wow’ moment for her in terms of
The St. Joseph’s School of Nursing class of ’65 will return to Kingston May 2-3 for a very special reunion.

News - People walking through Queen’s University and City Park on April 18 saw a series of unusual sights. A woman sitting motionless in an aluminum canoe for hours on end in a library lobby. A crowd of people following that canoe as it was dragged down the street, metal grinding and screeching on pavement. And finally, that same canoe in pieces—and unintentionally smeared with blood—at the foot of the statue of Sir John A Macdonald. The performance, by artist Leah Decter, was the fourth in Métis curator Erin Sutherland’s series “Talkin’ Back to Johnny Mac,” and it drew a large audience of participants and passersby. Sutherland’s series began during the celebrations of John A Macdonald’s birthday. “I wanted to bring alternative stories,” explained Sutherland, “and speak them in these colonial spaces that are only telling the story of John A Macdonald.” Sutherland also wanted the series to explore “how his legacy affects us today. And so that means that we’re talking about the policies he put into place, the ways in which he viewed indigenous peoples or the role of settlement.” The most recent performance started at 9 a.m. in the lobby of Stauffer Library at Queen’s University. Sitting motionless in a canoe with the manufacturer’s logo—a stereotypical image of a Plains Indian in a feather headdress—on the bow, Leah Decter drew a lot of attention. And that was the point “I wanted to be a quiet interruption. So I was a statue,” explained Decter. She was a physical expression of a colonial history that people rarely talk about. “The elephant in the room.” By interrupting complacent routines, Decter wanted to “unsettle” the space. “I often think about how we move through spaces in a way that is in complete disregard of the histories that have taken place on them.” Once an hour through the day an assistant would come out and rotate Decter’s canoe. Then the assistant would use a piece of paper to take a charcoal rubbing of one of the crowns embossed on the lobby’s tile floor. Decter would then smear the charcoal crown on her chest, so that the front her shirt gradually turned black. At four o’clock Decter got out of her canoe and, accompanied by a crowd of observers, dragged the canoe across the Queen’s campus and through City Park to the statue of Macdonald. Observers would participate when needed, Decter explained. “When I do performance with a human audience, I always involve the audience.” At the foot of the statue, Decter systematically dismantled the aluminum canoe with a hacksaw and a pair of shears. Why a canoe? “It’s the definition of settler identity,” Decter explained, even though it’s a vehicle that was copied from indigenous people. Why cut it apart? Decter called it “a dissection, which is a process of taking apart something to learn something. An
unmaking of this colonial body. ” In the process she unintentionally cut her hand on a jagged piece of metal and started bleeding. “Totally unplanned,” Decter said. When the performance ended, the canoe’s debris was smeared with bright red hand prints. Decter’s performance—on a sunny Saturday afternoon in a park—drew a lot of attention from passersby. Some children were intensely curious about whether the blood was real. One man, on being told that the blood was an unplanned addition to a piece about Macdonald, shrugged and said the blood seemed appropriate anyway, given Canada’s often bloody colonial history with indigenous peoples. Decter didn’t eat, drink, or use the washroom during her seven hours sitting in the canoe. This is not the only performance in the series to involve physical hardship. In January, Métis artist David Garneau dragged a heavy wooden tripod to the statue of Macdonald. And Tahltan artist Peter Morin doused himself in whiskey during his performance on a freezing winter day. “I think performance in general is always an arduous task. And it’s always physical,” said Sutherland. “Everyone has really put their entire physical and mental beings into their pieces.” The fifth and final event in the series can be viewed April 30 at the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre. Alutiiq artist Tanya Lukin-Linklater will be performing at 6 pm.

Events – Owning a bike is something a lot of us take for granted, but for people in Africa, South America and Central America a bike can make a huge impact. Cyclo Nord-Sud understands this impact and for the past 15 years they have been collecting used bikes in the North to send to the South. The group primarily collects bikes in Quebec, but on May 2 Kingstonians will have a chance to donate and give new life to their forgotten bikes. “I really enjoy cycling and I really understand the freedom it gives people,” said Vicki Schmolka, organizer of the local drive. “I can appreciate that for people living in developing countries, getting a bicycle is just a fantastic gift and that is what motivated me to try and get a bike drive here in Kingston.” Schmolka has been involved in cycling groups for many years and participated in large cycling events in Montreal with a group called ‘Citizens on Cycles’. Through that group she met many passionate cyclers and one went on to create Cyclo Nord-Sud. Since it started, Cyclo Nord-Sud has collected and shipped nearly 50,000 bikes to 18 developing countries, mostly to rural areas in Latin America and Africa, where mobility can be a major factor in determining a person and their family’s quality of life. These bikes can serve as a means of transportation and a tool for generating income and fighting poverty. Just one donated bike can benefit between five and ten people for up to 20 years. “It’s a really fantastic program and it lets all of us get rid of those old bikes we have in our garage or on our patio collecting dust,” said Schmolka. “There are many reasons why bikes sit around and this is a great opportunity to give it to someone who needs it.” Donated bikes must be in working
order or repairable and have wheels that are 20” or bigger. The drive will also accept all types of tools, bike parts, and accessories, as well as portable sewing machines. A volunteer from Cyclo Nord-Sud will be on hand to assess the bikes and also issue charitable receipts for the donated bikes. “We just ask that people give a donation of $15 with their bike to help with shipping and administrative costs,” said Schmolka. “I am also willing to help people get their bikes to the drive. I will be available the week before the drive and just ask that people contact me in advance.” Schmolka will be donating three bikes of her own and she hopes to collect at least 50 bikes in total. She sees the drive as an opportunity for community members to make an impact globally and really show that they care. “These bike drives have been done all over Quebec and I’d really like it to be successful here,” she said. “I hope it resonates with people and I really hope that people support it.” The bike drive will take place on May 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kingston Alliance Church parking lot, 540 Palace Road. If you need help getting your bike to the drive contact Vicki Schmolka at 613.549.1707. For more information about Cyclo NordSud visit www.cyclonordsud.org

In a fascinating confluence of talent, The current exhibition featuring his music the current exhibition at Studio 22 Open portfolio—portraits of musicians— Gallery is called Photo + Steel, featuring continues the brilliant and creative work the photographic art of Bernard Clark and of this artist. “I’ve collaborated with people in the the steel sculpture of Rick Lapointe. “We like to mix things like that,” says music industry,” says Clark. “A lot of the Hersh Jacob, artistic director of the gallery. performers in this collection are people “When we thought of what to do with the I’ve worked with on commercial things room for a dynamic combination, we like CDs.” Clark worked with Emily Fennell on thought of Rick and his work alongside Bernard’s impactful photographs.

Clark explains that working with fellow artists is quite different from photographic sessions with the general public. “I’ve always liked working with and collaborating with creative people,” he says. “They’re trusting of you. If you propose an idea to someone in business, they’re often not comfortable. Like when I’m using a backdrop in a parking lot and I asked Chris Koster to take off his shirt. Musicians understand. Artists’ minds aren’t confined.” Another unique image features Chris Chord with a background of clouds. “It’s a Magritte-like style,” says Clark. “Chris’ music is pretty surreal. His music is changing all the time, like clouds. So I put Chris in a scene with clouds behind him.” Rick Lapointe’s steel sculptures in the show are just as ethereal as Bernard Clark’s photographic images. His sculptures are improvised in abstract ways. “By using manufactured steel parts in an abstract way, I have created an expressionist assemblage exploring the unpredictable principles of deconstruction, accident, and balance, demonstrating the inevitable outcome of order.” Lapointe’s creations catalyze an odd reaction: when one thinks steel, images of static, sharp angles and harshness first come to mind; Lapointe’s work is contrary to expectations. Instead of harsh and unmoving, there is a flowing sense to his creations. It’s anything but steel-like. It’s deceptively gentle. Jacob says the City of Kingston is fortunate to be home to artists like Clark and Lapointe. “Bernard is both commercially and artistically such a professional,” says
Jacob. “He creates pure portraiture. I like the fact that I’ve got a space that can accommodate both Bernard and Rick.” Immediately after the Photo + Steel exhibition, Bernard Clark’s work will be featured at Frontenac Club Inn. “That one will feature signs and structures, like some New York images,” says Clark. “Things like Manhattan Bridge. There won’t be people in those images at all. I like to do each show featuring a body of work that is themeoriented. The people stuff is a hard sell. My motel series was much more successful.” The show at the Frontenac Club came about as a result of last year’s Kingston Arts Council juried salon. Clark won second prize for one of his portraits. “There was a feeling that the juried salon was always geared to painters and they wanted to open it up. They were interested in creating an award. The Frontenac Club Inn sponsored an award for photography this year. They wanted me to have a show separate from the juried salon.” Make sure to take in both shows: Studio 22 and Frontenac Club Inn. It’s an opportunity to explore the work of talented photographer and artist Bernard Clark. At Studio 22 you’ll also be treated to the steel sculptural work of Rick Lapointe. Photo + Steel runs until May 24. Studio 22 is located at 320 King Street East. For more information, visit www. s22.ca.

Celebrating retirement in a unique and generous way By Mandy Marciniak
mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca
Events – When Karla MakiEsdon retired from her job at the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) after more than three decades, her coworkers wanted to organize a big sendoff party, but she had her own ideas. “I wanted something a little different,” said Maki-Esdon. “The CRCA is always looking for funds for projects and fundraising was part of what I used to do so I thought it would be nice to combine the two while still doing something fun and non-traditional.” The end result is a Motown dance party, fundraising and retirement party at Zorba’s featuring local musical group HEATWAVE. “I suggested a few bands and I had been to a fundraiser where HEATWAVE performed and I thought they were fantastic,” said Maki-Esdon. “It should be a lot of fun and it will also raise funds for a great cause.” Funds raised will go toward CRCA school programs that run throughout the year. The programs are curriculum based and focus on environmental education, science, geography and even history.
“Maple Mad“Karla had been ness programs here for a very are very historilong time and cal and all of when she retired the programs the staff really also focus on wanted to send her physical educaoff with a going tion and getting away party, but it kids outdoors,” was at her insisexplained Makitence that the parEsdon. “These ty be public and programs are that it be somealways chronithing that will cally short of help bring awarefunds and that ness and funds to forces schools the programs and to dig a little that is very admideeper into their rable,” said Jim own resources Barber, marketing to come out, so and communicawe always try to tions specialist at fundraise to keep CRCA. the programs goBarber hopes ing.” that the commuThese pronity comes out to grams were support the event; always very more important, important to he hopes people Maki-Esdon and see it as a great she hopes that way to support the public will Longtime CRCA employee Karla Maki-Esdon celebrated with cake valuable procome out to the when she retired, but she wanted her party to be about more than her. gramming. event to support “We live in an them. they have all been selling tickets to age where enviMaki-Esdon’s coworkers are also as many people as possible to sup- ronmentalism and environmental looking forward to the night and port the cause. awareness is very important,” said
Barber. “This is a way to help educate young people about various aspects of environmentalism and conservation in a very hands on way. It is a great adjunct to whatever they are learning in the classroom and we want to continue to grow and offer these programs.” While Maki-Esdon is enjoying retirement, she is also looking forward to seeing old coworkers and having a fun night out. “I think it is going to be a really great time and it is supporting a worthy cause. Anyone who enjoys music and dancing will surely have a good time.” The Motown Dance Party fundraiser will take place on Saturday May 2, at Zorbas, 1474 Bath Rd., in Kingston. There will be a cash bar and snacks provided. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the band starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.crca.ca/tickets/, Tara Natural foods and Brian’s Record Option.

Quirky Quinte
Wineries and Dining
There seems to be a new vineyard popping up monthly in Prince Edward County. Everyone’s a terroirist these days. With far too many to mention, I’ll just highlight my favorite spot, to which I’ve made many trips. The decision regarding what to
Museums
There are many excellent museums in Prince Edward County. My favorites are Rose House Museum, MacAulay Heritage Park, Mariners Park Museum and the Ameliasburgh Museum. I’ve always found Rose House Museum, at 3333 County Road 8 along the County’s south shore, to be a site where relaxation comes naturally. It’s far enough from any urban setting. Approaching it, I always expect to see horse-drawn buggies passing me. The main ongoing interpretation at Rose House is that of the American Revolution, the Loyalists who settled in Marysburgh and the Hessian soldiers. The Hessians were German soldiers contracted by the British. Many remained in Canada and formed Marysburgh, the oldest settled area of Prince Edward County. Rose House looks exactly as

Many emerging and established artists make their home in the County. Every small town from Bloomfield or Wellington to Picton has its own collection of artists and artisans. You can check many of them out online at artstrail.ca. Some are located in rural settings. Others can be found in clusters, especially along the main streets of Bloomfield (bloomfieldontario.ca). One of my preferred stops is Elements Glass Studio (elementsglass. ca) where you can see the work of Caroline Shuttle.

Macaulay Heritage Park at 35 Church Street in Picton is named after the Reverend William MacAulay, who once lived in the house beside the original Church of Mary Magdalene. He is buried in the church cemetery. You’ll experience 19th century daily life at the historic park. Staff wear mid-19th century period costumes and work the garden in the same manner as they did a couple of centuries ago. MacAulay’s first wife, Anne Catherine Geddes, died of tuberculosis. During her life, she kept extensive, which allowed MacAulay Heritage Park to recreate the gardens in their original form.

Prince Edward County, just a short trip from Kingston, offers one of the best day-trips in the country. From the arts to vineyards and historic settings to modern dining, the County has it all. Whenever I have out-of-town or out-of-country guests visiting, I always love to take them to Prince Edward County. As the weather finally starts to feel spring-like, you can again explore our region without the need for snow tires or parkas. Soon, you’ll be able to don shorts and flip-flops and hit the beaches at Sandbanks.

drink is simple. County Cider’s Premium or Tortured Path apple cider are delightful. Nothing tops County Cider’s ice cider. No exaggeration, it’s some of the best I’ve tasted in the world. That reputation been confirmed at international competitions. Their ice cider is zippy and sensuous, while lacking the annoying syrupy sense found in many ice wines. In addition to great cider, sometimes I venture with friends to County Cider (countycider.com) to enjoy a delicious meal. They offer some of the best food in the County, including artisan pizza prepared in their outdoor oven. You can sit at your table behind the main building, overlooking a sloping hill of vineyards leading down to the lake. Another great location for fine dining is Waring House (waringhouse.com) at the junction of Hwy 33 (Loyalist Parkway) and Country Road 1, west of Picton. There’s Amelia’s Garden, an elegant dining area, as well as the Barley Room pub. The main restaurant is housed in a 19th century stone farmhouse. There are also accommodations and a cooking school on site. For an urban funky setting, stop into Buddha Dog long Picton’s main drag for a healthy dose of hot dogs, all hand made from local in-
land andforests. Shuttle has devoted her energy to glass art, which often reflects the artist’s close relationship to nature. Her studio home base is a century-old carriage house at 305 Main Street in Bloomfield. Oeno Gallery (oenogallery.com) at 2274 County Road 1 near Bloomfield has been voted Best Contemporary Retail Gallery destination in Ontario. The gallery represents more than 60 internationally-recognized Canadian artists. You’ll find paintings, glass, ceramic, stone and metal sculptures on site, which includes the indoor gallery and an outdoor sculpture garden. Oeno Gallery is adjacent to Huff Estates Winery and Inn (huffestates.com). Festivals
There is an ongoing rotation of special events and festivals throughout Prince Edward County. Every month, you’ll find at least a couple of events, sometimes several. A few of many in May include: Terroir on May 9, a celebration of the Country wineries; Spring Birding Festival from May 16 to 24, with workshops and guided walks during the spring migration; the Isle Bluegrass Festival from May 28 to 31. In June, enjoy the Great Canadian Cheese Festival on the 6th and 7th of the month. This is the only pan-Canadian showcase of artisan cheese in the country. On June 19 and 20 there’s the All Canadian Roots & Blues Festival. You can find a full listing of all events throughout the year at prince-edward-county.com/events/
The Quirky
In the County, you can move from the quaint to the quirky in mere seconds. And there is no greater centre of quirkiness than Birdhouse City bordering MacAulay Mountain Conservation Area. It’s worth a visit at any time of year. You’ll find Birdhouse City at 224 County Road 8—called Union Street in Picton. The idea originated with Doug Harnes, a former superintendent with the Prince Edward Region Conservation Authority. Harnes wanted to create the largest birdhouse ever built. He created a woodworking masterpiece, a miniature replica of the old Massassauga Park Hotel. The working birdhouse has a working 83 holes for bird homes. It even has 3000 miniature shingles, each individually attached with nails. After being shown at exhibitions, the birdhouse came to MacAulay Mountain for its permanent home. Other birdhouses were erected and by the time Birdhouse City officially opened in 1980, there were 35. Today, there are more than 100 birdhouses, each a replica of actual buildings, most from Prince Edward Continued on page 31

Kingston project aims to bring comfort and happiness to orphaned children abroad
R0013183127
News – Children helping other children – that is the focus of the Humanitarian Club at Madeleine-deRoybon Ecole Elementaire Publique. Students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 gather on a weekly basis and work on a project that will hopefully make the lives of underprivileged children in Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo better. This year, the group took on the task of making handmade ‘Pocket Buddies’ or ‘Amies de Poche’. “Last year we did a project with the kids and we made rainbow bracelets that we sent off to Kenyahelp,” explained Grade 2 teacher and leader of the Humanitarian Club Jacynthe Aubut. “We saw photos of the kids when they received the bracelets and their faces were so happy. I wanted to do that again this year but with something a bit more personal.” Aubut took inspiration from Master Corporal Mark Isfeld; the Canadian soldier worked clearing land mines in war-torn countries like Kuwait and Croatia in the early 90s and his mother created the ‘Izzy Doll’, a pocket sized, knitted doll that he distributed to help calm frightened local children. “I always thought it was such a great idea, but knitting is difficult so I wanted something simpler for kids,” said Aubut. “I remember when I was young I used to go to the Quebec Carnivale and we used to always get dolls that were made out of yarn and I thought that would be perfect.” Aubut started gathering supplies last fall and taught kids how to make the dolls using a combination of twisting and braiding yarn. Since November, students have made nearly 140 ‘Pocket Buddies’ and they are still making more and more each week.
Last week, they sent 100 dolls the Congo via local artist Heather Haynes. “She works with an orphanage in Congo as part of the Worlds Collide program,” explained Aubut. “Now the students are working to send some with Nancy Stevens, who works with Kenyahelp, in the fall.” Each doll is unique and students have choice in terms of what colour yarn they would like to use for the head, body and hair. Some students have even started working on little groupings of dolls inspired by fictional characters. “My friends and I are big fans of Harry Potter and we’ve been making dolls based on characters,” explained club member Emily Gammon. “I also like to imagine different skin and hair colour combinations to make the dolls original and unique. I hope that by doing that another kid can make the doll their own and identify with it.” The dolls are also dressed in clothes made from recycled materials. For the previous dolls, clothing was put together by parents and teachers, but Aubut hopes that students will start making their own clothes going forward, as long as recycled materials are still the focus. “We try to recycle everything, even the scraps of yarn that we have around we put inside the heads of the dolls to make them rounder,” said Aubut. “It is important to also think about the earth with a project like this.” The clothing also allows the students to show their creativity, and while many

really enjoy that aspect of making the dolls, they all love knowing that the dolls are being made to help children who are less fortunate. “I like knowing that we are helping people,” said Eryn QuennevilleSveinson. “I like that after making all of these dolls they will be sent off and we will get pictures of the kids. We will see how happy the dolls make them.” In some cases the Pocket Buddies have inspired students to do more charitable work and even make dolls on their own time at home. “My mom and I decided that I would donate some of my $5 allowance each week to charity and a few weeks ago I asked if I could use that money to get some yarn to make more dolls at home,” said Gammon. “I also plan on teaching my sister how to make them too.” Aubut plans on teaching her Grade 2 class to make the dolls soon, but for now they are still learning how to braid. She also hopes that the kids continue to make them in the summer and it becomes a year round project for the school and Humanitarian Club. “They have enjoyed making the dolls so much and it is so inspiring to see them so excited about the project.”

ward County, with some other notables like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. MacAulay Conservation area has 25 miles of hiking trails. Adjacent to Birdhouse City, you’ll find Whattam’s Memorial Walkway, a beautiful path lined with hundreds of trees planted by friends and loved ones of someone who has died. There is no greater way to create sacred space. For a laid back day, don’t bother with Highway 401. To get to Prince Edward County, take County Road 33 (Bath Road) west from Kingston. It ends at the Glenora
Ferry, which crosses between Adolphustown in the east to Glenora on the Isle of Quinte. The ferry has operated for more than 200 years. After your water crossing, you’ll be on County Road 33, which takes you into Picton. Here’s a fact for trivia lovers: Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first Prime Minister, spent three years in Glenora, where his father operated a grist mill. After departing the ferry, if turn southward onto County Road 7, you can make a stop at Lake on the Mountain lookout, one of the most scenic locations in the region.

largest skilled trade competition. There are over 65 contests and roughly 1,900 competitors and winners are awarded with gold, silver and bronze medals. Ernestown has had students compete at this level before and even had a student place third in a previous year. “I think these competitions are a great experience for students,” said Tom Pinkerton, computer teacher at Ernestown. “It gives them an opportunity to show off what they are good at and it gives them confidence in their skills. I encouraged Jon and Justin to participate and I am happy to see them make it to the next level.” If they do well at the provincial level, Ashworth and Bremner could move on to the Skills Canada National Competition, but they aren’t thinking about that just yet. “I hope we do well and I really enjoy playing around with 3D animation,” said Bremner. “I hope to pursue a career in computers in the future so this is a great step in that direction.”

News – After competing in the East Regional Ontario Skills Qualifying Competitions, more than 70 Limestone District School Board students are moving on the Provincial Skills Ontario Competition on May 5; Ernestown Secondary School students Jon Ashworth and Justin Bremner are happy to be part of that group and both look forward to competing at the next level. “We competed in the 3D animation competition and we were really happy to win,” said Bremner, a Grade 13 student at Ernestown. “It was more challenging than I expected and the time constraint was hard to deal with, but hopefully it prepared us for this next round.” The duo went into the competition not knowing what to expect. They were asked to create a 3D model on the computer and then animate it to a song. They had to show the progression of the model throughout the song and they had to do it all in about seven hours. “It was definitely challenging to work with the time constraints and we had no idea what the challenge would be going in,” explained Ashworth. “I think we did a good job.” The next level of competition will ask them to do something similar and they plan on staging mock scenarios to prepare. “We’ve been playing around with the programs more and more and I think we’ll probably do a couple test runs before the competition,” said Bremner. “We won’t know what the challenge is until we get there and there will likely be more teams competing against us, but I think we’ll do ok.” The Ontario Technological Skills Competition, which takes place in Kitchener-Waterloo this year, is Canada’s

It’s not easy being an islander these days By Margaret Knott
Column- I remember as if it was yesterday, the first time we went to Wolfe Island on the ferry. Would the island become our home? Could we accept the ferry schedule as a way of life? The ferry that September day did not leave cars. Travellers seemed happy. People walking about were in a holiday mood. I took note of women I assumed were islanders quietly knitting/ crocheting, who to this day offer items for sale at island events and Craft Shows. And, of course, I noticed the many readers on the boat.. Islanders obviously not new to the ride. Interesting to note the Island library rates as (one of) the busiest in Frontenac County. And in the cabins on both sides, Islanders were sharing conversation, catching up on the news, and making the best of the daily ferry ride home from work or school, appointments, medical and otherwise, or from shopping. Very many of them walked off the ferry as it docked in Marysville fanning out to different streets. Obviously they lived
there. Tourists wandered off through the village It was a different time. There were many dairy farms still operating. The Kraft Plant was then open. There were more working farms. Tourism was important but it was the Island’s “Cottager” guests that it seemed to welcome. … those that stayed a while. There were more bed & breakfasts and a camp ground. The General Wolfe Hotel was the place of choice for graduations, special dinners. There was Woodman House and Ernie’s. There was excitement around events, the annual Road Race, the plowing match, Crime & Pumpkin Fests etc., Big Sandy Bay was still a private gem. There was even a “should we open the canal period.” A doctor came from the city, there was a volunteer ambulance service. Church and school communities worked together. A new library and an ambulance fire hall were built.. The Tourist Centre opened. With amalgamation Wolfe and Howe Islands became Frontenac Islands. The Province downloaded the highways.
More houses are being built annually. There is more work on the island. And more people work off the island. A new Medical Clinic and County Paramedic Service are in operation.. Big Sandy Bay, Riverview Golf Course, the Corn Maze, Horne’s ferry are very popular tourist destinations. The Island Grill has been revamped. We have Metal Craft. Wind turbines and solar panels dot the island. White’s Horse Rides, a Boat Club, Music Fest, Horne’s Ferry, bicycle rentals, village walks, a summer Art Gallery, the Old House Museum a covered rink, and more are there to attract visitors . But there is a problem. And it is the ferry . Since our first idyllic day on the ferry to the island there have been two public service strikes that deeply affected islanders. The Wolfe Islander has gone out for refit 4 times (7-10 weeks). The Charlevoix became the 33 car, Frontenac ferry for Amherst Island, replacing the Wolfe Islander III as required. At least seven studies about the ferry service have been undertaken by the Provincial Government ( MTO)
under the leadership of Premiers Peterson, Rae, Harris, McGuinty and Wynne. The option each time has been for a lengthened “boat.” most recently for a new faster boat operating with the WI 3, and (maybe) a bridge when Kingston has a bridge over the Cataraqui, but when? There have been improvements. Docking mechanisms were replaced on both sides; improved parking at the winter dock. Cameras at Marysville/ Dawson Point. Newer trailer at Dawson Point and a new Marysville passenger waiting area, flower boxes, benches. etc. Better communication between MTO and the Township regarding ferry demand management (park & ride, cycling, parking, etc.) But as the Frontenac II continues to operate from Dawson Point islanders are stoic about it all. They say very little about it. Those who can’t take/ risk the long wait in line ups’ may leave the island for a while or move outright. Too much to lose in time, jobs, appointments. All this while the population mix has shifted to few-

er children and more seniors retired, which has added to the demand. Even with the effort of the crews to stay on schedule, the regular 55 car ferry service does not meet the demand and has not for years. While grateful for the use of the 33 car Frontenac II, now it’s even worse. Islanders wait in line and hope ... Maybe this time, with a government that has transit projects on its mind, Wolfe Island will finally see the recommendation, and the end of studies, with a larger, faster ferry fulfilled sooner than later…… It’s been 26 years, Imagine..

Bedlam ensues after small error made in local paper women at the door of Walker’s Store. A man, who turned out to be the manager, was beet red, and he had one of the those things to magnify his voice by shouting into it, asked for everyone’s attention. Standing beside him was another man, whose red face matched the manager’s. “There has been a terrible mistake. This is the person who put the ad together for the Mercury, and instead of printing 27 cents a yard for the Dan River cotton, it came out as 7 cents! The number ‘2’ was mistakenly left off, and really, the price is 27 cents, not 7!!!” Well, I thought there was going to be a riot. Those women from Renfrew and the miles beyond were having none of that nonsense. A woman shook her umbrella in the manager’s face, and with the sun shining and the heat of the day just beginning, I guessed she brought her umbrella expecting a riot. “Now you know the law as well as I do, Mr. O’Kane, and you have to sell that Dan River cotton for what it was advertised.” And with that, and using her umbrella as a prodding iron, pushed back the two men, and plowed through the door, with all of us following her inside the store. Mr. O’Kane
vanished through a little door at the back of the store, slamming it shut and I could hear a lock being rammed into place, and the bedlam was left to the sole clerk who started removing the dozens of neatly folded bolts of Dan River off the shelves and pounding them down on the long counter. I was sure we would never get out of the store alive! Whole bolts of Dan River were sold and it didn’t seem like anyone gave a hoot in Halifax for pattern or colour. Mother grabbed a hold of a lovely mauve bolt, and one with a pale yellow plaid design, and told the sales girl she’d take the whole yardage off both. Two women were both pulling at the same bolt, and I was sure it would just be a matter of time before the one Renfrew policeman was called to keep order. It wasn’t long before only one or two bolts of material were all that was left on the counter. No one was getting cuttings, everyone taking the whole bolt, which thankfully didn’t have to be measured because the original yardage tags were still attached. We headed for the car, each of
us carrying one of the bolts, and I stayed in the front seat while Mother peddled her butter, eggs, sticky buns and trussed up chickens all along the back streets of the town of Renfrew. Before the next week was over, new mauve Dan River cotton curtains hung on the kitchen window, a yellow table cloth covered the red oilcloth, and I had two blouses to wear to the Northcote School. And there was still lots of material left for which Mother was sure to find a use. It was my hateful brother Emerson who tried to take the shine off everything when one morning, wearing my new mauve blouse and sitting on the bench under the kitchen window at the table, he said I matched the curtains. “All you need is a curtain rod through your hair.” I paid him no heed.

It was unusual for Mother to be in such a hurry to get into Renfrew for our regular Saturday morning trip. The old Model T had been packed the night before with all the things she would peddle door-to-door, and I was dressed in my next-to-Sunday best, told to hurry with my breakfast if I was to go in to town with her, and that morning, I didn’t have to help redd up the kitchen. That job would be left to my sister Audrey. Getting into Renfrew early was more important. What else was unusual, was Mother’s going to the blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard and pulling a hand full of change out of her egg money. Her Saturday morning purchases were always made out of the money she got from peddling her wares door-to-door. But that day, a handful of egg-money was crammed into her black purse. For a few minutes, I wondered if we were running away from home! When Mother and I piled into the old car, the weekly copy of the Renfrew Mercury was on the seat beside us, and Mother kept patting it like it
was made of gold. It had been folded over and the Walker’s Store ad took up the whole page. So that was what Mother was so excited about! “Can’t believe it,” she kept saying all the way out the long lane to the Northcote Side Road. And she gave the newspaper another poke with her finger. “Just look at that Mary... Dan River cotton on sale at Walker’s Store for .7 cents a yard! Never have I heard of Dan River cotton on sale for such a price!” So that’s what all the excitement was about! The old Model T was fair humming all the way along the Northcote Side Road, and Mother kept saying “Please, don’t let us have a flat.” The old car was well known for having as many as two or three flat tires banging over the washboard Northcote Side Road. But luck was with us, and we tore into Renfrew, right down Raglan Street, with Mother looking for a place to park. “Just as I expected,” she said, chewing on her bottom lip. The cars and buggies were lined up on both sides of the street, and crowds of women, many of them our neighbours from Northcote, were already lined up at the Walker’s Store door. Without even asking a ‘by-your-leave’, Mother pulled into a small lane between two stores, grabbed her purse, told me to hurry, and we joined the lineup of

thoroughly before signing on the dotted line. Additional costs may be factored into the bill. These can include stump-and-root grinding. Trees will be cut down to the stump. To prevent eyesores or tripping hazards, some homeowners opt to have the stumps ground down into sawdust. This will not remove all of the roots but will take care of most of the above-ground portion of the remaining stump. It is usually up to the homeowner to discard the sawdust or use it as a mulching material. Expect the ground around the former tree to be soft, and there may be a depression depending on how much stump grinding took place. Some people prefer to wait a season for the ground to recover before planting something new. It may take a while for grass to sprout where a tree was once located, and there may be bare spots when grass starts to grow in. Tree removal can be an expensive venture but is necessary for different reasons. Be sure that tree-removal services are fully insured before signing a contract.

Trees serve many purposes for a landscape, providing shade and habitats for birds and other animals and serving as natural blinds between two homes. Trees are often beautiful elements of a natural landscape, adding aesthetic appeal to a property or even an entire community. But there are times when a tree must be removed, an action that, in many instances, requires the services of a professional tree service. A tree with roots invading the foundation of a home or infringing on a patio or walkway can become a safety hazard. Other trees may cast shade where a pool is planned or cause disagreements between neighbors when the tree straddles a property line. These are instances when tree removal will be necessary, and a reputable service can advise as to the best methods for ridding the property of the troublesome tree. Homeowners will need to do a bit of planning and research to remove trees safely and securely. It is best to contact a variety of different tree removal services and compare their offerings and prices. The cost of a tree removal will vary depending on various factors, including the height of the tree, its width, the number of branches it has, its location on a property and the proximity of that location to potential hazards like power lines. Tree removal may range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. When a tree is being removed, most of the branches will be removed to make the tree more manageable. Trees are rarely chopped at the base and allowed to fall, as there simply isn’t enough room to safely take this approach. Sections of the tree will be cut, roped off and slowly lowered. A climber will scale the tree or use a cherry picker machine to reach the top of the tree to facilitate the process. The pieces of the tree will be loaded into a wood-chipper for grinding before they are hauled away. Larger, heavier portions of the stumps may need to be moved later on with machinery. Hauling trees off the property may cost extra, so it is important that homeowners read their contract

Add value to your home with these renovations Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home. Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale. â&#x20AC;˘ Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen. â&#x20AC;˘ Look to paint. One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is paint. Neutral,
modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an eco-friendly home, which is very desireable these days. â&#x20AC;˘ Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away from another room. Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths need 30 to 35 square feet for a stand-up shower or bathtub. â&#x20AC;˘ Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic improvements arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets. â&#x20AC;˘ Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary home. Adding light can
mean including more overhead and accent lighting. Under-cabinet task lighting is a nice touch. Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can bring natural light into rooms that may not have south- or west-facing windows. â&#x20AC;˘ Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor living spaces have become more desireable, especially as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;staycationâ&#x20AC;? has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project. â&#x20AC;˘ Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home. Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will provide a solid return on their investment.
Your next home could be just a click away...

ers can request to see other historic properties in the area and learn what those owners did to maintain the integrity of a home when using newer materials. Before any work is started, homeowners should find out if their home is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. According to the United States National Parks Service, property owners can do whatever they want with their property so long as there are no federal monies attached to the property. However, the property owner should also contact his or her stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic preservation office, or SHPO. The SHPO is the state agency that oversees historic preservation efforts in each state, and there may be state or local preservation laws that the owner should be aware of before renovating a historic property.

Living in an historic home can be a labor of love. The history and the distinct architecture of historic homes draw buyers to such properties, but what historic homes have in regard to history they often lack in the conveniences of modern life, forcing many historic-home owners to make renovations to bring their homes into the 21st century. Historic-home renovations differ from other types of modifications. According to the Victorian Preservation Association, renovation is getting a home back to where it may have been when originally built, but making concessions for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle. Preservation is the act of maintaining a structure in its current historic state, and restoration is returning a home to its original state. Unless a homeowner plans to use an outhouse or live without electricity, the majority of work done on historic properties is likely to fall into the category of a renovation. Renovating an aging structure can be fulfilling and help to make a home more functional. But make no mistake, such a renovation is a major undertaking. Before beginning, it pays to hire a professional consultant with expertise in renovating historic properties. He or she can inspect the property to determine which areas of the home are safe and which will need to be upgraded. A professional inspection also can determine if any deficiencies lie hidden in the structure. Potential concerns can be toxic paints and other substances, building code issues, rotting, and structural settling. Professionals will know what to â&#x20AC;˘ look for and guide homeowners â&#x20AC;˘ accordingly. Homeowners also may want to consult with a preservation association, community restoration group or general owner-builder group. These people can refer homeowners to the craftspeople and materials that will be needed for a job. Homeown-

Make the most of your home appraisal in any energy-savings programs. Naturally, any expansion projects, such as adding another bedroom or extending the footprint of the home, should be mentioned. A real estate appraiser is a certified, licensed professional who will do his or her best to determine the value of your home. The appraisal provides banks with information that can tell loan officers if the house is worth the loan amount. Expect to pay a fee for the appraisal, which is generally included in your closing costs. The appraiser gathers information for the appraisal report from a number of sources, but the process often begins with a physical inspection of the property, both inside and out. He or she also will compare your home against a few others in the neighborhood, which are known as comparables, or comps. Appraisals will be based on recent prices of comparable properties as well as other factors. Apart from the improvements done to the home, there are other ways to get a higher appraisal amount. The appraiser may consider the overall maintenance of the home and prop-

When homeowners think about renovating their properties, many first need to secure some funding to finance such projects. Some may tap into the equity of their homes by refinancing an existing mortgage, while others may apply for home equity loans. Taking the latter approach may require certain steps, including an assessment of how much the home and property is worth. Home appraisals compare your home to neighboring properties to determine your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current market value. Homeowners can facilitate the process by having certain information readily available for the appraiser. When preparing for appraisers, homeowners should consider and collect the following information: â&#x20AC;˘ If your home was built on the largest lot in the community. â&#x20AC;˘ If you have made significant upgrades since it was last appraised, such as installing a new roof or siding. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overlook smaller renovations, like extra insulation added or sealing drafty windows, which can increase a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value. â&#x20AC;˘ Proof that you have used sustainable resources or if you participated

erty. It is wise to consider curb appeal and ensure the home is clean and maintained when the appraiser arrives. Minor repairs or common maintenance can impress the appraiser. Removing clutter and cleaning up the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior can make the home appear larger, possibly increasing its value as a result. It may be worth it to invest some more money into the property before having an appraisal done. A study sponsored by the National Association of Realtors says wood floors, landscaping and an enclosed garage can lead to a more favorable appraisal. An appraiser will spend roughly 30 minutes in a home. Try to give that person space to do his or her job. Following the appraiser around during an inspection can raise a red flag that something is wrong with the house that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be seen. Turn lights on throughout the house, make sure the heating or cooling system is functioning at full capacity and keep pets locked away. Move items that can impede access to basements or attics.

How to make your renovation a successful, positive experience (MS) — By Scott McGillivray
In the United States, renovation spending has more than doubled since the late 1990s, reaching nearly $65 billion last year alone. Oftentimes the investment a homeowner makes is substantial, both financially and emotionally. The stakes are high. That’s why it’s imperative that the job is done well from start to finish. There are a number of steps a homeowner can take to ensure a positive experience and a successful outcome, including: 1. Know your goal. Ask the question, “What is this renovation designed to accomplish? More functionality? Storage? Living space?” If a homeowner doesn’t know where they’re going with the renovation, chances are they’ll never get there. 2. Do your research. In most things, knowledge is power, and knowing what to expect, in advance, can keep expectations in check. Investigate options, budgets and timelines, and arrange financing in advance. 3. Hire professionals. Be sure that they are happy to work with you to meet your budget and achieve your vision. Communicate clearly and often to ensure understanding on both sides. 4. Opt for a general contractor and trades that are experienced, licensed and insured. Don’t hesitate to check credentials and references. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues who have had work done and were satisfied with the results. 5. Start with quality building materials. When it comes to home renovation and construction, the adage, “it’s what’s on the inside
that counts” seems apt. While homeowners tend to get caught up in the aesthetics of a project, such as finishings and paint colors, the key to a successful renovation often lies in what you won’t see. Investing in quality behind your walls will ensure durability, comfort and safety for years to come. 6. Focus on the basics. This includes quality electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing and drywall. Don’t underestimate the importance of insulation — especially in a basement renovation. Not all insulation is created equal. Opt for insulation that is fire-resistant, sound absorbent and resistant to mold, mildew, bacterial growth, and rot. In my renovations, I like to use products like Roxul’s Comfortbatt and Comfortboard IS to help achieve a more energy efficient home, buy you valuable time in the event of a fire and prevent moisture issues that can pose health risks and lead to costly repairs. 7. Develop a good plan. This includes preparing for the unexpected. Setting aside a 20 percent contingency fund will help bring you to the finish line when unanticipated issues creep up. Lastly, the key to a successful renovation includes patience. Living in a construction zone — or alternately moving out while the work is done — can be stressful and trying. Keep your eyes on the prize. There’s nothing more rewarding than the end result, which can bring years of enjoyment and ultimately add to your home’s bottom line.
