Kingston Pen to open for tours this summer By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – It was an announcement many Kingstonians had been waiting for; on May 13, the City of Kingston, in partnership with the Ontario and Canadian governments, announced that Kingston Penitentiary will open for public tours this summer. “This is an exciting day for our community,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. “This is a great example of a collaboration with three different levels of government and the exciting things that can happen when we all work together.” The tours are presented through a partnership with the City of Kingston, the Correctional Service of Canada (SCS) and St. Lawrence Parks Commission (SLPC). Tours are set to run from mid June until the end of October and will be organized by Fort Henry and Tourism Kingston. Interest in Kingston Penitentiary has been tremendous ever since the institution closed in late 2013 and while some tours were offered soon after it closed, the doors to the limestone building have been closed to

the public ever since. “I want to thank the various groups throughout the community who continued to put pressure on us for these tours,” said Don Head, Commissioner of Correctional Services Canada at the announcement. “I never imagined that I would be part of a tourism initiative like this, but this is a very exciting day. MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala echoed Head’s sentiments and reflected on the many years she wondered about what was behind those doors. “I remember growing up as a child, I grew up in the west end and I passed by that building every single day for many, many years. As you watch the procession of staff that came in and out the intrigue that I had as a child and I know many kingstonians had over the years was quite profound,” she said. “Hopefully we will be able to keep this open as a tourism site in the future too and we need to do everything possible to do that.” The tours are expected to have a very positive impact on the economy in Kingston and according to Continued on page 3

Dental Dollars: Council to invest $10,000 to help treat OW recipients By Bill Hutchins

Kingston Penitentiary will be open for public tours this summer. Photo/Mandy Marciniak

KP to open for tours this summer Continued from page 1

St Lawrence Parks Commission CEO, Darren Dalgleish, the venture is estimated to drive well over $6 million of economic value into Kingston this season alone. The tours will also create 30 local jobs for students and contribute to the United Way for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. “Half of the net proceeds will be going to the United Way,” explained Mayor Paterson. “The funds will help create a youth fund that will help to support important youth initiatives in our community.” Exact details about dates and ticket prices

aren’t available yet, but SLPC promises that those details are coming soon. They also announced that there will be designated tour days each week for Kingston residents. Paterson is looking forward to the tours and he hopes others are too. “As mayor, I am looking forward to welcoming regional, national and international visitors here to check out the oldest penitentiary in Canada and also the amazing other sites here in Kingston,” he said. “It is exciting.” For more information on the Kingston Penitentiary tours visit www. kingstonpentour.com

News – Some low-income adults may be entitled to free dental care through a new program that will be funded, in part, by the City of Kingston. Councillors voted unanimously to chip in $10,000 toward the Dental Week Project in 2016. The community-based initiative aims to raise money to ‘buy’ a dental practice for one week to provide a chair, staff and supplies to offer free treatment to those who don’t have dental benefits. “There’s a real need for improved service for people on low income. They can’t afford to access the care and they don’t have the benefits,” said Coun. Mary Rita Holland. The city’s one-time tax funding will be provided to the Kingston Community Health Centre (KCHC) to administer to qualified individuals. KCHC currently works with dentists to provide assistance when possible, but council’s motion says the health centre “cannot meet all of the needs of those who cannot afford care on an ongoing basis.” “We want to make sure it’s a fair process … with a plan behind it,” explained community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle, when asked by council who gets the $10,000 cheque. Councillors agree oral health is a critical component of a person’s overall health, and untreated dental issues can lead to significant health problems such as heart disease, chronic inflammation and, in severe cases, sepsis. Coun. Peter Stroud, an emergency room nurse, says this is one case where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. He says there are patients who end up in the ER of Kingston General Hospital because they can’t afford regular dental BR-CMS-02 treatment. One tooth infection and a stay in the intensive care unit can cost the health care system up to $50,000, he explained. The city’s decision to make a modest investment in dental care follows a presentation from David Knowles, a member of the Home Base Housing board, who has embarked

on a $10,000 community fundraising campaign for the Dental Week Project. So far, he’s raised about one-quarter of the funding independent of council’s contribution. “Poor teeth with no smile equals low self-esteem,” Knowles told council May 3. Coun. Jim Neill says the municipal contribution is a small price to pay to help adults who, unlike children, qualify for very few dental benefits while receiving social assistance. “I have to say this is a modest request.” It’s not the first time the city has been asked to provide funding for dental care. Former councillor Rick Downes spearheaded an unsuccessful campaign in 2012 for the city to spend $100,000 to help pay for tooth extractions and dentures for about 40 Ontario Works recipients.

However, the last council rejected his request on a 6-6 tie vote based on the argument that medical care is a provincial responsibility, not a municipal one. Mayor Bryan Paterson, who was a councillor at the time of Downes’ failed request, was one of those who voted against spending money to benefit 40 people. This time, however, he supported the $10,000 Dental Week Project. “I do see this as very different,” he explained. “I see this as a community fundraising project and we’re being asked to match the funds.” Coun. Neill suggested the city’s contribution could become annualized. “I see this as a pilot (project),” he added. However, council made no mention of repeating its contribution in future years.

Housing Forecast: Kingston has enough supply to meet demand for 15 years Kingston Heritage – Kingston has enough residential land supply to meet the demands of homeowners and renters for another 15 years, according to a newly-released housing inventory. The city’s updated residential supply inventory is based on 58 current projects - subdivisions, apartments or other housing developments - that have either been approved by council or are pending development approval based on all applications submitted in 2015. In the short-term, Kingston has the equivalent of 3,814 housing units ready to be built in six years based on “committed” development

applications. However, the residential inventory doubles when proposed housing units are factored in. There are another 5,965 housing units awaiting development approvals for subdivision, zoning and site plan - boosting Kingston’s total potential housing supply to 9,779 units. “When units pending approval are added to the total supply, the total life span of all units is 15.6 years,” according to a staff report prepared by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle and planning director Paige Agnew. It appears Kingston easily meets the provincial criteria. Provincial policy requires municipalities to have at least 10 years of housing supply to ac-

Kingston has several existing subdivisions, primarily in the city’s west end, that are ready to expand based on existing planning approvals, including Woodhaven, Greenwood Park West, King’s Landing, Lydenwood and Westbrook Meadows. There are even more housing units that are still awaiting planning approvals, such as Riverview, Woodfield Crescent and Midland Park subdivisions, plus the three hi-rises planned for Queen Street; Capitol condominiums and two Homestead apartment buildings. Hundreds of student-type apartments are also planned off-campus in the Williamsville area along Frontenac Street, University Avenue, and Princess Street. All applications that have not been active for more than five years have been removed from the city’s housing inventory.

commodate an ‘appropriate range and mix of housing types’ for future residential growth including intensification and redevelopment. A review of housing trends in the past 10 years shows single-family homes dominated Kingston’s residential construction industry. There were 2,939 houses built from 2006 to 2015, compared with 2,560 apartment units, 581 townhouses and 201 semi-detached units, for a total of 6,281 residential permits. However, studies indicate the future trend may be shifting to more apartment units being built with a slowdown in new house construction. “The decline in the construction of single family dwellings and the cyclical nature of the construction of multiple units may be an indication of the changing trends in consumer preferences; it also may be reflective of housing affordability,” said Hurdle’s information report to council May 3.

News – The City of Kingston is drafting new ground rules that could allow more non-proﬁt organizations to rent municipal space free of charge. But there will be several strings attached in the new Waiver of Fees policy. A staff report recommends the city set aside a new budget of $10,000 for the remainder of this year, and $20,000 in each subsequent year, to offer free access to groups that meet the new criteria. The money will cover lost rental revenues at each facility. Among the new conditions is that each applicant’s waiver fees will be capped at $2,500. “The maximum waiver of $2,500 being recommended is in line with the received requests over the past few years,” explained community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. Groups that seek a fee exemption through a formal application process will have to meet other conditions. Among them: only non-proﬁt groups serving the City of Kingston will be considered; organizations must have a mandate that aligns with the city’s priorities; and organizations may only receive one waiver of fees per calendar year. The city is making some exceptions so a few long-running activities that use municipal space won’t have to jump through the same hoops. Three well-established activities will be “grandfathered” into the new policy and won’t have to apply for a waiver - the annual Fall Fair at the Memorial Centre, Perch Derby and Canadian Olympic Regatta Kingston (CORK) at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. “The organizers of these events will not need to apply and the fees will be waived as long as the events remain within their current scope,” Hurdle explained. The need for a policy stems from repeated, unsolicited requests to waive fees to use municipal arenas, parks, meeting rooms and other buildings for a variety of worthy causes. Until now, councillors

have decided on an ad hoc basis which groups or individuals should get a break from the standard rental fees. It led to complaints that some groups may get preferential treatment over others. “Continuing the current practice of requests being considered and approved by Council on an ad hoc basis is deemed to be potentially unfair and preferential as there are no set guidelines and/or criteria for Council to use in making its decisions,” Hurdle explained of the need for a transparent and consistent policy. Under the new rules, many other groups, companies and individuals need not apply. Among those deemed ineligible and must pay the full rental rate charged at municipal facilities; commercial and for-profit organizations, individuals and unincorporated community groups, organizations with political affiliations, education groups, and those that require participation in religious activities. In general, city officials say the first-of-its-kind policy is aimed at qualified groups holding events that can demonstrate a benefit to a vulnerable population or is for the greater community good, and the public can attend free of charge. Groups typically ask the city to waive fees in order to reduce the financial burden on them for whatever charitable cause or fundraising event they’re hosting. The power to approve applications will be delegated to staff, but council will get an annual report detailing which groups benefited from the policy. Because the waiver budget is only $20,000, no group is guaranteed that it can rent a civic facility free of charge even if it meets all of the qualifications. It will be on a first come, first served basis and the city is expected to start taking applications in June. The recommended policy was presented to a committee May 12, but must still be approved by council, which could happen later this month.

ing. We’re doing our best to get to the truth,” explained Lorraine Larochelle. The group challenges KEDCO’s past assertion that it played a role in creating 4,000 jobs while attracting tens of millions of dollars in new investment between 2010 and 2015, and wants to see the proof. But, with lawyers from both the Friends and KEDCO now involved, getting those answers may prove costly, time consuming and fractious. “This group is trying to find the moral ground for the community instead of political correctness,” asserted Bernie Robinson, who is not a member of the Friends but supports their goals. They believe that in order for the KEDCO review committee to do its job it must “review” past practices in order to come up with future solutions. It’s a notion that rankles Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson. “When this whole review was launched last year it was very clear at that point that this was an exercise in moving forward. This was a visioning of what KEDCO or what an economic development agency should look like for the 21st century.” The mayor says the committee is working with experts to review the best practices of other communities in drafting its final report, adding that looking at the agency’s past work is not productive. “This is not an exercise in moving back or rehashing what might not have worked as well as it could have in

the past. This is about moving forward.” Coun. Candon says critics of KEDCO have a role to play in the revamped organization, which will likely continue on as a separate entity at arm’s length from city hall. “Friends of Kingston should be em-

powered because they clearly care and there’s a lot of intelligent people involved there. We need to figure out how to get all those people on the same team and working in the same direction.” Mayor Paterson agrees the best way to address community criti-

cism over KEDCO’s past methods is to work together on a new path of economic development. “And I believe what we need is a vision that the entire community can rally behind.” But Friends members say they won’t be satisfied with the final re-

EDITORIAL

When it comes to fireworks, Five reasons I am looking forward to summer safety first son and then everything else. I love wearing dresses and I will rarely, if ever, wear pants in the summer. Dresses are so comfortable and are a complete outfit all by themselves, making them super easy to wear and most are very stylish too.

I know that I have talked about my love for fall/autumn in this column before and I stand by that love, but I am also a big fan of summer. I would list summer as a close second in my list of favourite seasons and with warmer weather becoming more consistent these days, it finally feels like summer is on its way. Each year, it feels like summer takes forever to arrive and this year has been no exception. I thought that when I got back from San Francisco at the end of March that we’d be in the clear and spring/summer would be well on its way, but I was sadly mistaken. Winter seemed to hold on extra long this year and that is why I am looking forward to so many things this summer. Here are just a few. 1. Summer dresses – For me there are two clothing seasons, dress sea-

2. Weekends at the cottage – Now that Korey and I no longer live at the cottage it can go back to actually being a cottage. By that, I mean that it can go back to being a place that we treat as a getaway and now it is closer than it has ever been before. We can travel out to the cottage for a weekend or just a Sunday and go swimming in the lake, barbecue, take the boat out for a spin and enjoy an amazing sunset. 3. A student free Kingston – I love Kingston as a city and I really love living here, but most Kingstonians, I am sure, will agree with me when I say that Kingston is better in the summer when all the students from Queen’s and St. Lawrence go home. Everything in the city becomes quieter and less busy and going to restaurants, parks and even the grocery store just becomes

Kanata Kourier-Standard

more manageable. Bonus: this happens in early May, before summer even starts, making it even more enjoyable.

4. Festivals, outdoor concerts and plays – For me, summer means Shakespeare; every summer Korey and I go to the Stratford Festival and while the plays aren’t outdoors, the festival only takes place in the summer. Summer also means Shakespeare in the park and outdoor festivals and concerts. Few things are better than a great outdoor concert on a beautiful summer day. 5. Warmer temperatures – I am sure this is something we are all looking forward to, but it still deserved a spot on this list. I am looking forward to warm, sunny days and more importantly not having to bundle up, wear winter boots or have my face burn from the cold when I go outside. The burning skin may still occur from the sun, but at least that is more preventable. I may not feel the same way about the weather when the humidity kicks in, but for now I’m not complaining.

Editorial - This year, Canada celebrates Queen Victoria’s birthday on Monday, May 23 (unless you happen to live in either Newfoundland, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia). That means we can all look forward toasting the unofficial beginning of the summer season with back yard barbecues, cold, tasty beverages, and maybe a few firecrackers lit from the back yard at dusk - you can be sure that the jaunty, long-lived monarch would approve. But before the festivities start, we recommend that you take heed of the Canada Safety council’s recommendations with respect to fireworks safety. The first rule of fireworks safety is read the instructions. The second rule of fireworks safety is read the instructions. The emphasis bears repeating. For whatever reason, some people seem to gloss over the all important set-up procedures. If the package says to move away 50 feet upon lighting the fuse, you do it. Not five or 15 or 20 feet, or immediately off your head. Seriously, that’s how most people end up getting hurt, or worse. If you are impaired in any way, don’t even think about it. Another good rule to follow is to set-up your fireworks display outdoors in a wide open space, and ensure to light them on a hard, flat and level surface. Then take care to ensure that the wind is blowing away from any spectators, and have a large bucket of water, sand or perhaps even a fire extinguisher at hand. Please visit www.canadasafetycouncil. org for more information on fireworks safety, as the list is extensive, and too detailed to go into at length here. Of course, the absolute safest thing to do would be to join the party down at Lake Ontario Park and let the professionals take care of business. Then you can really begin to appreciate where all your property tax dollars are being spent, and earn the utmost respect of neighbourhood dogs everywhere (as well as their well rested owners). Fireworks begin at Lake Ontario Park at 9 a.m., and various festivities will take place throughout the day starting at 11 a.m. For more information, visit https://www.cityofkingston.ca/-/watch-victoria-dayfireworks-at-lake-ontario-park.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide Second opinion about the Third Crossing By spending so much money on the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide road network to accommodate the third crossing, we will return to square one. The LOS south of the 401 will be F, West Carleton Review meaning unstable trafﬁc conditions. The

The third-crossing-shovel-ready vehicle is driving at full speed and the driver needs to pause, rethink and ask: Am I driving the right vehicle? Nine different scenarios were tested in 2011 to assist the decision-makers in the City to choose the best option for taxpayers’ money with regard to the third crossing.It seems the City is proceeding with the “Scenario A demand” which requires widening all roads and projects approved by the Development Charges By law in 2014 including the construction of the third crossing (two lane). The price tag estimated for this scenario is about $218 million (plus land and noise mitigation costs) before taxes.

West mid-town trafﬁc will increase by 23 per cent and northeast by 187 per cent. The 401 will still be used as the major crossing. Car trips between east and west will increase by 22 per cent. As a result green house gas (GHG) emissions will increase as well. The tests results show that only 4 lane third crossing in conjunction with the Counter Boulevard widening and “the proposed CFB Access Road connection Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount between Highway 2 and Gore Road” will

However, even with a four-lane bridge the traffic congestion on the La Salle Causeway, as in Scenario A, will be unstable and traffic on some parts of the Northeast area will increase by 241 per cent.

The third crossing will reduce the travel time delay, the cost of which is estimated to be $12.7 million a year. This is something that proponents might cheer about. But as we improve our transit and increase transit mode from 5 per cent to 6 per cent, the time delay savings in the entire city would be about the same. Both options are ﬁscally imprudent and won’t solve the congestion as the Ofﬁcial Plan standards require. Kingstonians have other priorities on which to spend their tax money! Some of the initiatives could include: resurfacing and rehabilitating our roads; providCLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: Sharon Russell - 613-688-1483 ing affordable housing in downtown to

encourage the employees in this major employment area to walk or use the transit; providing more services and developing a major commercial centre in the east to cut car trips and mitigate the trafﬁc. The third crossing(two lane) will reach full capacity by 2027. Are we then going to build a fourth bridge to mitigate the congestion on the third crossing? We are human beings and subject to mistakes. Isn’t it wiser and safer to ask a second opinion when we have to make big decisions?

Letter to the editor:

Not all farming is the same Dear Editor,

Reading Taylor Orser’s response to Aric McBay’s article on farm-washing, I was dismayed by the portrayal of fast-food companies and large-scale conventional farms as victims of apparent bullying by the likes of McBay and the NFU. McBay’s piece, at its heart, reminds us as consumers that we ought to be aware of the misrepresentations and partial truths of a fast food industry that, for decades now, has been aggressively marketing itself as a healthy and ethical food choice, in spite of myriad evidence to the contrary. Simply stating that a product is 100 per cent Canadian tells us little of the quality of the food, the nature or practices of the farm, or the effect of the restaurant’s business practices on local economies. If this all we have to go on, we should continue to be skeptical. Orser’s comments on Canadian farmers “working hard to ensure a safe, sustainable and affordable food supply” are echoed by Farm and Food Care Canada, a lobby for large-scale agriculture business (which has significantly more financing and political clout than the NFU). Many may recall a publication it circulated last year, entitled “The Real Dirt on Farming,” which essentially served to reassure the public that all is well in the conventional agriculture industry, while portraying Big Ag as the victim of unwarranted criticism.

Conventional agriculture does indeed continue to provide a cheap source of food, and certainly many consumers value this, as do fast food companies and large food processors, but its claims to safety and sustainability imply there are no environmental or social costs. This simply does not stand up to scrutiny. While there is no perfect, entirely environmentally-sustainable farming practice, Mr. Orser’s suggestion (also touted by Food and Farm Care) that “Organic” is a mere buzz word, ignores the government oversight and exhaustive recordkeeping on the part of the farmer involved in certification, as well as the fact that conventional agriculture practices, which are built upon a dependence on synthetic fertilizers and chemical sprays, are not, by any scientific measure, sustainable, nor are they without health risks, particularly to those working and living where they are used, for example, migrant workers. Organic practices have slowly been making strides to remedy this. Increasingly, consumers are factoring such issues into their buying decisions and need not be labeled gullible for this. The demand for organic food has been growing ever more quickly in the past decade. Every major grocery store chain has an organic food section. Farmers’ markets are growing (the Kingston region being a testament to this). The once “niche” has gradually entered the mainstream, and consumers expect demonstrable value for the extra dollars spent.

When chains like McDonald’s or Wendy’s use the imagery of the family farm in their commercials, and lines like “the freshest ingredients,” they are latching onto the image that small-scale organic farming has cultivated. But while farms and food businesses in the organic movement have invested in quality and sustainability to meet the growing demand, fast food branding promotes the deceptive image that it is responding to those same demands without actually upping its standards in any significant way. You would be led to believe you are getting top-quality, local

food at bottom-of-the-barrel prices. Back to McBay’s focus on farm-washing: as consumers and citizens, we would do well to take all of the superficial, sound-bite messages from all facets of the food industry, big and small, and consider our values, examine the research, think critically and ask questions. And perhaps most of all, consider that cheapness and convenience, as a rule, come with costs. Jonathan Davies

After nearly 70 years, Aunt Lucy’s Dinner House has closed its doors By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News - An iconic Kingston restaurant has closed its doors. Aunt Lucy’s Dinner House was open for their annual Mother’s Day Brunch on May 8, but as of May 9, their front sign read ‘Thank You Kingston. Closed for redevelopment’. According to a statement issued on May 9 by Jason J. Clark, owner Bob Clark’s nephew, the restaurant is closing and ‘clearing the way for development of a new vision and future business opportunities at the Princess Street site’. Robert W. ‘Bob’ Clark, who had owned Aunt Lucy’s since 2002, passed away in February 2016, almost 12 years to the day after he and his late wife, Myrna, purchased the restaurant. They also owned St. Lawrence Cruise Lines and the M/V Canadian Empress, now operated by Jason Clark. “My uncle loved this property and this restaurant, and he loved a chal-

lenge,” Clark said in the released statement. “But in his last years, he also recognized that it was time for a makeover and new vision for the restaurant.” “With the loss of his wife and failing health, he couldn’t take on this task himself. His ﬁnal wish was to wind up the restaurant, respect its legacy, treat the loyal staff well, and prepare the way for someone else to bring a renewed vision and fresh energy to revitalize the site.” The one-acre property, located on the northwest corner of Princess Street and Portsmouth Avenue, will now be handled by DTZ Eastern Ontario who will handle listing it going forward. Staff received the news Monday at a special meeting at the restaurant and the closing of Aunt Lucy’s means a loss in jobs for 25 full-time and parttime employees, some of whom had been with the restaurant for more than 25 years. Clark, speaking on behalf of the executors of the estate, said these employees ‘will be provided with ac-

tive support during the transition’. “Given their loyalty and experience, I’m sure it won’t take long for them to ﬁnd satisfying opportunities with other restaurants or hotels,” Clark said. “In the meantime, we’ll be providing the staff with support and guidance in oneon-one counselling sessions, group workshops, resume writing, job search and similar types of career transition support.” Aunt Lucy’s was founded in 1947 by Ray H. Angold, with Lucy Harper as the head cook and baker. In 1960, Gerald D. Warne joined the restaurant and continued to build it up throughout the 60s. Although they were not related, ‘Gerry’ was often referred to as Aunt Lucy’s nephew. In February of 2002, at the age of 68, Mr. Warne opted for retirement and sold the property to long-time friend, R. W. ‘Bob’ Clark. Bob and his wife Myrna continued the tradition and heritage of Aunt Lucy’s and some even addressed Bob as ‘The new Nephew’ “We’ll all miss Aunt Lucy’s and treasure the story of its long history in our community,” Clark added. “But we want to honour Uncle Bob’s last wishes for the future of this site — we’re focusing on what new opportunities Aunt Lucy’s Dinner House in Kingston closed on May 9 after nearly 70 the future might bring.”

Kingston programs and agencies offer models for community inclusion By Aric McBay

News - The recent hubbub about Kingston Frontenac Public Library’s controversial Code of Conduct has raised a conversation about how different people can be welcomed in Kingston’s public and community spaces. Many community programs and agencies in Kingston do their best to include all kinds of people, and often with little access to public funding, but they’re happy to share what they’ve learned with other organizations. Aveleigh Kyle is a Critical Care nurse and the CoChair of Lunch by George, a meal program that serves people coffee, soup, and full lunches every morning Monday to Friday. Kyle says that Lunch by George, which serves about 40-70 people each day, has seen record-breaking demand. “Our numbers for April were actually quite staggering. We served 1,743 soup and meals for the month.” What’s driving the increase? “We also now have working poor. People are ﬁnding it very hard to make ends meet.” Kyle also cited high rent and cuts to mental health services. Lunch by George is based at St. George’s Cathedral, around the corner from KFPL’s Central Branch. Many

of their clients also visit the library in the afternoon after lunch has been served. Lunch by George does have a code of conduct for clients, Kyle explained. “They know what they can and can’t do. They can’t drink alcohol. They can’t be rude to the volunteers.” But they take welcoming approach, said Kyle. “We just don’t ask questions. It doesn’t matter how you’re dressed. We have a real open door policy as long as they follow the rules, and our rules are not stringent at all.” At the Library Board meeting on April 27, Kyle called the Library’s new Code of Conduct “appalling” and offered to share her experience with the Library. She says the Library has since reached out to her. To the Library, Kyle says: “I think it’s really important that they have a Code of Conduct. But there’s no reason to think that our clients would be any more of a danger than a man in a three-piece suit.” That doesn’t meant they never have problems at Lunch by George, but serious issues are rare. Kyle says that twice in the 10 years they have had to temporarily bar speciﬁc people from the site (for up to three months). Don Seymour, the CEO of Addiction and Mental

Health Services – Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington, works with many different organizations and service providers. Seymour’s organization also provides education and training for those who work with members of the public and might encounter people with addiction or mental health issues. “There are organizations, like mine, that will go out and educate anybody who asks us. We’ll go out and have a conversation.” Seymour cautions organizations like the Library against making assumptions about patrons at a glance. “I think we need to suspend judgment when we are looking at people.” And he encourages organizations to offer mental health training and support to their staff. “Then you just have to apply the same rules to everybody. If someone’s disruptive, you do what everybody else does, you call the authorities.” Addiction and Mental Health Services has a special crisis team that can help solve problems if someone is having a personal emergency. “We very rarely have problems in our own ofﬁces, and we have people coming in and out every day who have fairly complex issues,” said Seymour. “And we very, very rarely have police intervention. But when we do need to, we call them, like everybody else.” Seymour wrote candidly about the library situation on his personal blog, explaining that as a teenager he dropped out high school and spent most days reading at the library. “I was a bit of a rough looking character,” he writes, noting that he might not have been welcome at KFPL under the proposed Code of Conduct. “My self-education at the library gave me the knowledge to apply to university as a mature student. Being at the library kept me out of trouble and was a safe haven.” He adds: “I probably wouldn’t be where I am today without the library.” Seymour is optimistic about the library moving forward. “A good thing that’s coming out of the library situation is greater awareness that we need to support these folks. The library is right that they’re not social workers, but at the same time the library is a place where everybody can go.” He says: “People get a little riled up because it’s a bit personal sometimes, but I think we can get past this and sit down and say ‘What can we do? What are the real solutions?’” Finally, Seymour encourages us to look at the big picture. “I think that libraries in general need to rethink what their mandate is. How do they stay relevant in a social that is digital and that can access information anywhere? If they don’t have the resources to hire a social worker, do

they have the resources to give an organization like mine space?” Another downtown community space is the Spire Community Building / Sydenham Street United Church, also a short walk from the Library’s Central Branch. Don Mitchell, Operations Manager, says they are deliberately inclusive in their approach. “We don’t set any policy or parameters that would automatically exclude someone from the building.” They host more than 1,000 visitors a week for a variety of events including choir practices, community meetings and concerts. They also host about 500-600 people each week for addiction support groups, youth education programs and food support as part of their social justice and outreach work. They give out some $24,000 in food support and food vouchers each year. Mitchell emphasized that the despite the traffic, problems are rare, and they can be handled under the existing legal framework. “Two to three times a year someone will come in and refuse to engage in a positive manner,” said. But he added: “If wouldn’t be fair for me to attach a level of risk to any one group of users of the building.” Further: “I couldn’t see us ever putting a policy in place that said because of body odour we wouldn’t welcome someone. Mitchell says he was alarmed to hear about the proposed changes to the Library’s Code of Conduct, in part because the Library is funded by the City. “Simply put, the combined churches of Kingston along with many exceptional social agencies throughout our city work daily, often at large donor expense, to maintain ‘open doors’ for all members of our community. Risk is something we manage and it is never fully eliminated. Any possible risk we assume welcoming everyone, we strategize to minimize; but we don’t apply a policy to deny access to some individuals with prejudicial criteria. The diverse programming and community use of our heritage buildings is often overlooked. Yet where would the city of Kingston be if all cultural assets adopted ‘closed door’ policies subjectively deeming some an unacceptable risk?” Ultimately, he wonders what will happen if public spaces close their doors to people based on superficial factors like appearance: “Where are they supposed to go?” Mitchell hopes the municipality will take the lead on finding solutions, and especially wants to see more discussion between organizations about services and community spaces. “A lot of us are trying to operate in silos,” he said. To find solutions, “there needs to be a wider dialogue.”

Events – The wildfires in Fort McMurray may be thousands of kilometers away, but the need to help can be seen right here in Kingston. For Amanda Bray, assistant operations manager at MotoSport Plus in Kingston, this need to help became apparent immediately. “We had a dealer meeting with Harley Davidson last week with all the dealers across Canada and the dealer from Fort McMurray was there,” explained Bray. “This was on Tuesday morning and then Tuesday afternoon the evacuations started. Immediately, some dealers came together to see what we could do to help.” Bray explained that two Harley Davidson dealers in Alberta and one in Chiliwack, British Columbia stepped up to take the employees from the Fort McMurray dealership on as employees in their own stores and give them accommodations. MotoSport Plus was a bit too far away to offer similar assistance, but they wanted to do something. “We saw that a dealership in London, Ontario was doing a charity bike ride and we thought it was a great idea,” said Bray. “We started planning immediately and we have been overwhelmed by the response so far.” Motosport Plus has helped other groups throughout Kingston organize their own charity rides in the past and they have also been, and continue to be, a sponsor for rides like Ride for Dad and Ride for Kids. They knew that the riding community in Kingston would

be supportive, but Bray was still surprised with the response they have received already. “The support has been incredible and we didn’t expect it. We thought we’d get maybe 40 riders, but now it looks like there will be hundreds,” she said. “This all stemmed from a Facebook event posting and different motorcycle groups from throughout the community have been sharing it around and recruiting riders. It has been really great.” The ride took place on May 15 and started at MotoSport Plus on Dalton Avenue. Bray expected the ride to take about two and a half hours and she immediately had riders wanting to register. “I had a gentleman come in yesterday, he is 80 years old and he wanted to register for the ride and contribute,” she said. “We didn’t do pre-registration, but that was so great to see and he was really looking forward to the ride.” Bray hoped to see the ride attract 200 riders and she was encouraging anyone who wanted to take part to come out and support this important cause. “Everyone knows someone who has been impacted by these events,” she said. “We want to do what we can to help and I always think that if something like this ever happened to me and my family, I could only hope to get this type of response and support. It is heartbreaking.” While the Ride for Fort McMurray has already taken place, MotoSport Plus is still taking donations for the Red Cross Fort McMurray Fire Relief in their store.

5 Days A Week! Mon - Fri 8am - 5pm

News – Lake Ontario doesn’t have the greatest reputation. For years, parts of the lake weren’t safe for swimming and chemicals polluted it to the point where fishing wasn’t safe either. But is that still the case? David McDonald, coordinator for the Water Access Group in Kingston, wanted to find out. “The reality is that the water quality is getting a lot better and there still are commercial fisheries on the Great Lakes,” explained McDonald. “So we decided to host an evening to showcase all that the lake has to offer.” The evening, entitled ‘Eat Lake Ontario’, invited Kingstonians to enjoy a three-course meal at Dianne’s Fish Shack featuring fresh fish from Lake Ontario. McDonald wasn’t sure how the community would react to the event at first, but he was pleasantly surprised. “The event sold out in two days so obviously there is interest,” he said. “Typically we host recreational activities like mass swims or shoreline shuffles, so this is a bit different, but the message is the same.” The Water Access Group aims to improve public access, ownership and awareness of Lake Ontario. The group has been instrumental in helping the City of Kingston put together a Waterfront Master Plan, which passed unanimously at council recently, but McDonald sees that as just the beginning. “We really need to work to create awareness about the lake and all aspects of it including water quality, cultural aspects, spiritual engagement with the lake and of course fish,” he said. “Here we are 100 metres from the lake, but it would have been cheaper if we imported fish from the Philippines for this dinner. It is in part because we destroyed the fisheries, but we need to come back from that.” Sourcing was the main hurdle for the meal, especially for chef Paul Dubeau who created the menu. Dubeau was really excited about the meal and on board from the start, even though he

knew it would be challenging. “The food we are serving tonight tastes like childhood,” he said. “I am from Northern Ontario and fish fry’s taste like childhood to me, but the biggest hurdle is the sourcing; to go fishing out in a boat and catch dinner to feed your family, that is easy, but if you want to feed this many people, it is difficult to source the fish.” The meal consisted mainly of yellow perch and pickerel and Dubeau was excited to see how the meal went over. He was also happy to be part of such an important and positive event. “Anything like this to create awareness about the lake is extremely important and it is a long time coming,” he said. “The Great Lakes are not a top priority for many of us, but they should be.” For the event and the meal, diners also enjoyed wine from Three Dog Winery and a talk from Colin Lake, lead management biologist in the Lake Ontario Management Unit at the Ministry of Natural Resources. Lake was happy to be part of the event and he hoped to clear up some of the misconceptions about fish from Lake Ontario. “This is a great opportunity to tell people that they can eat the fish, they just need to educate themselves a bit, like with any other food,” said Lake. Lake also explained that while chemicals were a huge issue in Lake Ontario in the ‘70s and ‘80s, water quality has greatly improved, but that takes time. “It does take a long time for it to break down naturally,” he said. “There is still reason to be concerned, but there are an awful lot of species that you can eat.” Lake hopes that through events like this, people will educate themselves about Lake Ontario and he hopes that by eating fish from the lake, people become more invested in it. “With a bit of knowledge you learn that there is fish to be eaten in the lake and I think when you eat that fish it changes your relationship with the lake,” he said. “It connects people to the lake more and they get invested and that is great for everyone.”

Kingston receives $700,000 to help at-risk youth leased in the coming months and that was entirely a collaboration between youth and the police and it is those kinds of opportunities that we are looking to create.” Kiwala is also looking forward to

seeing more collaborative work in the Kingston community going forward. “I look forward to following the work that this project will help accomplish and I know it will make a difference for youth in our community.”

News – Last week, Kingston celebrated National Youth Week and by the end of the week youth in the city had a lot to celebrate. On May 6, MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, announced that Ontario’s Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) would be granting the Students Commission of Canada $700,000. The funds aim to bring Kingston organizations together to find the best opportunities for at-risk youth and will be granted over four years. “We know that when we invest in our next generation by giving them new opportunities and supporting their development that we are investing in our future as a province,” said Kiwala. “With this new program we hope to bring everyone to the table and empower youth by identifying the solutions for their advancement.” Kiwala made the announcement at the second annual Y2K basketball game at Market Square, a game that aims to empower youth and build their relationship with the Kingston Police Force. “This announcement is a slamdunk,” she joked after shooting some hoops with local youth. “It gives youth a chance to come together and provide input on how they’d like to be supported and it helps prepare them for the future success we all know that they are capable of.”

The Student Commission of Canada leads The Centre of Excellence for Youth Engagement, which brings academics, youth organizations and young people together to research ways to improve youth programs and youth engagement in Canada. With this grant, they will engage youth, supported by adult allies, to research and identify needs of youth facing barriers in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington communities. This is the first time Kingston has received a YOF grant. For 2015-16, the YOF granting program, which is administered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, is providing grants to 31 organizations in 15 communities across Ontario, for a total of $7.7 million. Grants go toward helping grassroots organizations engage with youth, aged 12 to 25, who are facing multiple barriers to social well-being, by creating fun learning activities that are tailored to the unique needs of their community. “A significant portion of this funding will go towards employing young people as youth leaders in the community,” explained Stoney McCart, executive director of The Students Commission of Canada. “It will be about developing leadership so young people themselves are organizing events just like this.” McCart went on to explain that local youth have also been working with police to develop an app over the past

News – In 2006, Nicole Chuchmach lost her mother, Sophie, to colorectal cancer. To cope with her anger during her mother’s fight and after, Chuchmach ran. She’s still running today, but for a different reason. On April 14, Chuchmach and her friend Natalie Atkinson set out on a running journey from Humber College in North Toronto to Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The journey, entitled ‘Sophie’s Run’, is more than 500 kilometers in length and they hope to create awareness about colorectal

Symptoms of colorectal cancer can include blood in stool, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite and more and Langley agrees that awareness is key when it comes to cancer. “Screening is recommended for anyone over the age of 50 and yet the numbers of those who take advantage of that screening aren’t as high as they should be.” According to Langley, about 70 per cent of people in Southeastern Ontario are getting tested for colorectal cancer over the age of 50, but that means that 30 per cent are not. “Like cervical screening or breast cancer screening, this needs to become something that is checked for,” he said. “I applaud these girls for bringing attention to that and if it helps just one person today then their effort is well worth it.” While the journey has been a bit challenging thus far, this isn’t the first time Chuchmach and Atkinson have taken on a run for Sophie. “We actually ran from Milton, Ontario to New York City eight years ago for the same cause,” explained Chuchmach. “It was effective and therapeutic and so we thought we’d do it again in support of the CCAC.” Response to the run has been great so far and Chuchmach has enjoyed meeting people, especially those dealing with cancer, along the way. “It motivates us to know that we are doing something for them,” she said. “Even if we are affecting one person on each stop that we make, that is huge. We really just want people to get diagnosed early and not be afraid, that is the most important message.” The girls hope to arrive on Parliament Hill on May 16 and they hope to create more awareness while they are there. “We are hoping to get some attention in Ottawa for this issue and the screening process. I think we need to start screening earlier,” said Chuchmach. “I lost my mother and then my grandmother died of colorectal cancer as well so

PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY – WOLFE ISLAND FERRY AND DOCKING IMPROVEMENTS City of Kingston and Township of Frontenac Islands G.W.P. 4061-14-00

ÉTUDE DE CONCEPTION PRÉLIMINAIRE ET D’ÉVALUATION ENVIRONNEMENTALE DE PORTÉE GÉNÉRALE – AMÉLIORATIONS AU TRAVERSIER ET À L'ENTRÉE AU BASSIN DE WOLFE ISLAND Ville de Kingston et canton de Frontenac Islands G.W.P. 4061-14-00

THE STUDY

L'ÉTUDE

Morrison Hershfield Limited has been retained by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to conduct a Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study for Wolfe Island Ferry and Docking Improvements (see Key Plan, below).

Le ministère des Transports de l'Ontario a retenu les services de Morrison Hershfield Limited afin de réaliser une étude de conception préliminaire et d'évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les améliorations au traversier et à l'entrée au bassin de Wolfe Island (voir le plan repère ci-dessous).

The project will address short term and long term transportation needs for the Wolfe Island Ferry and will build on a 2011 Planning Study Report. Improvements to existing terminals, both on and off shore, may include changes to the marshaling areas, larger dock/mooring facilities, improved pedestrian and cycling facilities, including terminal facilities.

Le projet répondra aux besoins à court et long terme en matière de transport par rapport au traversier de Wolfe Island et se fondera sur un rapport d'étude de planification de 2011. Les améliorations aux terminaux existants, dans les zones riveraines et le chenal, peuvent inclure des modifications aux zones de regroupement, aux grandes installations de transbordement et de mouillage et aux installations pour piétons et cyclistes, notamment les installations du terminal.

LE PROCESSUS

THE PROCESS The study will follow the approved planning process for a Group ‘A’ project in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities, 2000 (the Class EA) with the opportunity for public input throughout the study. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and made available for review and comment upon completion of the study. The TESR public review period will be announced in this newspaper at a later date.

L'étude suivra le processus de planification approuvé pour les projets de groupe « A » conformément à l'Évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les routes provinciales de 2000, et le public aura l'occasion de fournir des commentaires tout au long de l'étude. Un rapport d’étude environnemental sur les transports (RÉET) sera préparé et accessible afin que les membres du public puissent l'examiner et formuler des commentaires à l'issue de l'étude. La période d'examen du rapport par le public sera annoncée dans le présent journal à une date ultérieure.

PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE

SÉANCE D’INFORMATION PUBLIQUE

A Public Information Centre (PIC) is being held to provide the public and other interested stakeholders with an opportunity to review and discuss the study with members of the Project Team. The purpose of the PIC will be to provide background on the study and present the study process, the alternatives under consideration and the process that will be used to select a technically preferred alternative. The PIC will follow a “drop-in” format without formal presentations. The PIC will be held on:

Une séance d'information publique (SIP) aura lieu afin de fournir au public et aux autres intervenants intéressés l'occasion de se renseigner sur l’étude et d’en discuter avec les membres de l'équipe du projet. L'objectif de la SIP consiste à fournir le contexte de l'étude ainsi qu’à présenter son processus, les solutions qui sont envisagées et le processus qui sera utilisé pour choisir une solution techniquement privilégiée d'un point de vue technique. La SIP sera d'entrée libre et sans exposé officiel. La SIP se tiendra à :

Library Board moves forward on consultation under community’s watchful eye Aric McBay

The Library Board of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library made incremental steps toward public consultation about their Code of Conduct at a meeting on Wednesday, May 11. The controversial new Code of Conduct caused a community outcry and attracted national media attention in late April over worries that it was meant to exclude marginalized people, including the homeless. In response to public pressure, the Library Board committed to a public consultation on the issue. At their meeting on May 11, the Library Board discussed a number of options for public consultation, including focus group meetings with resource and service providers and a patron survey run by a professional polling firm. They also discussed holding public meetings at a variety of branches including Central, Isabel Turner, Calvin Park, Sydenham, and

Sharbot Lake. Some Board members wondered if the consultation should be Kingston-specific, but Board member Annie Peace-Fast encouraged them to be inclusive. “If we’re going to be consulting about how things work in our library, we need to consult everybody,” Peace-Fast said. “We need to broaden the conversation.” The Library Board decided to form a working group on community engagement made up of Board members including Chair Claudette Richardson and Kingston City Councillor Jim Neill. This working group will develop and guide the community consultation process. A number of community members were again present at the meeting, some of whom held signs with the words “Libraries are for Everyone.” Community members were not invited to speak at this meeting, but instead attended to monitor the proceedings.

Those members of the public had a mixed response to the most recent meeting. While glad that some progress was being made, many raised questions about whether the process would be genuinely participatory, especially given Chair Claudette Richardson’s publi- Members of the group Libraries are for Everyone attended the Board meeting. Photo/Aric McBay cally stated attitude on changes to the widely-opposed Code of Conduct. “I found it surprising the Board didn’t clarify the chair’s media comments after the last meeting, stating the intent of the new Code of Conduct wouldn’t change,” said Matt Silburn, community member and library user. “The Board voted to defer Make one low monthly payment the changes to the Code, and the same evening the chair esNo Interest, No Penalty sentially vetoed that decision. Stop legal actions and garnishes There are some fundamental governance questions that need to be addressed, aside from the Call Now!

Library Board moves forward on consultation under community’s watchful eye Continued from page 23

Some community members spoke with Councillor Jim Neill after the meeting, who told them that the chair of the board was not automatically the chair of the working group on community engagement. Neill also said the working group meetings should be public, and noted that it was possible for this working group to include community members. Julia Bryan of the group Libraries for Everyone encouraged this approach. “The newly established working group must include community members,” she said. “We think the process could be greatly improved by welcoming community involvement in the planning process.” “We remain committed to the need for an open, participatory, and transparent resolution of this issue,” Bryan said. “To be meaningful the process must include the voices of

all library users in addition to community agencies.” In related news, Kingston Frontenac Public Library has released some new salary information. While the Library Board voted not to release the actual salaries of high-earning managers for inclusion on the Sunshine List, they have since made public the 2015 salary ranges for management positions. The holders of those positions are a matter of public record. Library management with salary ranges over $100,000 are the following: Chief Librarian, Chief Executive Officer (Patricia Enright): $114,389 $156,161 Director, Outreach and Technology (Lester Webb): $99,139 - $118,762 Director, Branch Experience (Laura Carter): $99,139 - $118,762 Director, Human Resources (Shelagh Quigley): $91,482 $108,961

Take pleasure in a legal high Would you like to spice up your weekend at home? Looking for something a little different to do on vacation? You can get high in a perfectly legal manner with an aerial tour of your vacation destination or your home town. As Michael Parfit wrote in Smithsonian Magazine in May 2000: «Can the magic of flight ever be carried by words? I think not.» As a pilot, I›m always amazed with the perspective I gain when I›m 1500 or 15,000 feet above ground level. It›s all in feet, not metres. Despite our country›s conversion to metric ages ago, the aviation world in North America still measures AGL (above ground level) and ASL (above sea level)

in feet. Velocity is in knots, not kph or mph. The extensive training to become a pilot reorients everything, including measurements, in your world. The awe of flight has never left me since first getting my pilot›s license many years ago. I don›t think a pilot ever forgets her or his first solo flight, that moment of being alone in the aircraft for the first time. Mine came on a cold winter morning. I thought my instructor (Nicole Parker) and I were going up for a regular lesson to practise some recoveries from spiral dives. We taxied to the end of Norman Rogers Airport›s runway 19. After the last pre-flight check, I turned the plane to face the wind and was about to move the throttle to full power when Nicole said,»Stop!» I looked at her. She smiled, unlatched her seat and shoulder belts, opened her door and jumped out. She said, «You›re on your own. You›re ready for solo. See you when you land.» I wanted to

Enjoy the Ride.

Two centuries can still enjoy being up in the air. helicopter›s movement through ago, if anyone had witnessed a plane or helicopter in the sky, it could only have been described as magical. It›s a simple concept, this thing called flight. The dynamics involved in allowing heavier-thanair objects to fly baffled minds for centuries. If an aircraft is going to leave the surface of the Earth, it has to overcome gravity by generating a force called lift. Lift is created by air flowing over an airfoil (the wing). The wing›s shape is such that air has to flow farther over the top than the bottom, so it has to move faster over the top section. This differential decreases the air pressure above the wing, causing the plane to rise. A heavier-than-air plane needs to reach a certain velocity in order for the airflow over the wing to exert lift. For this, thrust is required. Thrust is produced by a propeller or a jet (or rocket) engine, which moves the plane forward. An opposing force that works against thrust is called drag. The smooth shape of the plane helps to minimize drag. It takes less power for a plane to become airborne when moving against the wind. It›s not the speed at which a plane is travelling over land that›s important; it›s the airspeed that makes a difference. That›s why a plane takes off facing the wind. It becomes airborne at a slower ground speed. For the same reason, planes land against the wind. They are able to approach at a slower ground speed when flying into the wind. Continued on page 27

Take pleasure in a legal high Continued from page 26

If a pilot attempts a take-off with the wind coming from behind the plane, it›s a rather scary process as it takes up a huge amount of runway compared to taking off facing the wind. Once a plane is in the air, all it needs to do to remain airborne is maintain a certain airspeed. As for helicopters, the explanation of the lift involved would require an entire text on its own. Sometimes it›s better to just trust the decades of research that›s gone into the creation of these amazing aircraft, which don›t even need wings to fly. Just how safe is flying? When I took up flying and informed my insurance company, it did not alter my rates at all. No one knows safety and risks more than actuaries. If you want to explore a region from 1000 feet above the land, or much higher, without first becoming a pilot, where to start? I›d recommend a helicopter tour, simply because it›s such a unique experience. In Kingston, you can do a web search for helicopter or aerial tours and come up with companies that will offer you the best view of the region. Out of town, almost every major tourist destination has aerial tours. One of the most exciting flights you can imagine is over New York City. If you›re heading there, I›d highly recommend Helicopter Flight Services (heliny.com). Their stateof-the-art helicopters not only give you the best ride imaginable, their crystal clear windows offer you great opportunities to

create breathtaking photographs and videos. Locally, Kingston companies offer small plane or helicopter tours over the 1000 islands as well as day trips to places like Prince Edward County wine country. If you›re planning a staycation thing this summer, you could do no better for adventure than a helicopter ride over eastern Ontario. We live in such a beautiful region. The view of the shoreline around Queen›s University is enchanting. The bridges, our downtown, Confederation Harbour, each of these is worth witnessing from the air. There›s also the beauty of the Rideau Canal locks and you have to fly no farther than Kingston Mills to see the stunning natural landscape within which we live. If you›ve never flown in a small plane, it›s a very different experience than riding in a commercial jet. For a start, you feel your environment much more intensely, in a good way. As for helicopters, they›re like the sports cars of the air. You are also incredibly safe in the air, safer than in the car you drive to the airport. An aerial tour is a thrilling adventure you will never forget. It›s a perfectly legal high that beats any chemically enhanced mildaltering journey. Rather than numb or alter your senses like drugs or alcohol might, it intensifies every sensation. I’ll end with some words of wisdom from Amelia Earhart: “You haven’t seen a tree until you’ve seen its shadow from the sky.” Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin

Hoping to put Kingston on the edginess map in September, a couple of homegrown promoters

are bringing The Limestone City Tattoo and Arts Festival to town. On September 17 and 18, 45 tattoo artists and other creative types from as far away as Denmark will show and share their craft at the Four Points by Sheraton in downtown Kingston. You can get new ink or simply enjoy the artistic and fun atmosphere. I sat down with co-organizer

Think ink

Andrew Ottenhof, at The Foundry Tattoo in Odessa, last week. He thinks Kingston is the ideal location. “Kingston is this historic town with a vibrant arts community and culture,” he said. “A tattoo arts festival is one of the things missing in the mix. Kingston deserves to be put on the map for this kind of event. Tattoo conventions are

in the works that will feature tattoo and other forms of art. “It will be an all-encompassing cultural festival,” he said. “Obviously, the opportunity for tattoo sittings will be a big part of it. People will also have the opportunity to buy original art and prints from the artist. And it’s going to be interactive with face painting for kids and we’re confirming an airbrush artist who does body painting.” There are plans for after parties in local venues with live music and entertainment, with opportunities for the public to mingle with the artists. The full itinerary will be announced in the summer. Tattoo art, by its very nature, is edgy. Some consider its offensive, a form of self-mutilation. But by that standard, pierced ears and cosmetics would have to be considered in a similar manner. Most of those in the subculture see it as a positive form of selfexpression meeting primal and tribal needs. The practice of coloring the body has existed for thousands of years. Tattooing has increased in popularity over the past couple of decades. Perhaps, as we feel more like objects and insignificant numbers, the tattoo allows us to scream our human uniqueness. Ottenhof said people get tattoos for many reasons. “It can be for simple artistic expression, self-fulfillment or self-expression.” he said. “Maybe they’ve worked through or are working through some events, positive or negative, in life. There are any number of reasons.” Tattoos have existed for thousands of years. They’ve been used in medical treatment. For example, it is thought that the tattoos found on the Iceman (circa 3200 BCE) were used to the relieve his pain of joint disease. Tattoos have been used to glorify great people and to mark prisoners. During the Holocaust, prisoners in Auschwitz and Birkenau who were fit to work had tattoos marked into their arms or chest. Greek slaves and criminals were tattooed for easy identification. Romans tattooed slaves on their foreheads. Continued on page 29 R0013661085

beyond fun. There’s a power to being together for so many subcultures and people from all walks of life. We want it to be an inclusive event that everyone can enjoy.” The festival will be family friendly, diverse and welcoming. “It’s an event that is going to display tattooing and its art and culture locally and abroad,” said Ottenhof. “Regardless of walk of life, everyone is welcome: young, old, male, female, the soccer mom, the biker. We’re looking forward to doing this as a community event. Kingston is such a great backdrop. We have the progressive arts community against this backdrop of a city embedded in history.” Over the past decade, Kingston has leaped to the forefront of progressive arts with events like Limestone Genre Expo, Kingston WritersFest, the Skeleton Park Arts Festival, the Kick & Push Festival and the opening of the arts hub of the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning along with the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. It’s an opportune time for the Limestone City Tattoo & Arts Festival, which organizers hope will become an annual event. “There are now a lot of events happening in Kingston, core events that are exciting, and there are newer events like beer and whiskey fests.” Co-organizer Ashley Silversides of Painted Lady Fitness explained that the festival’s goal is to introduce the community to a different and new vision of artistic expression. “The Foundry Tattoo, in association with [tattoo supply company] Eikon Device, is bringing a collective of new and exciting artists and ideas to Kingston to change the general impression of what the tattoo community is, and what it stands for,” said Silversides. “With The Limestone City Tattoo and Arts Festival, we have the opportunity to showcase local and international artists; while also educating the community on all that Eikon has done to encourage and advance the quality of tattooing and art worldwide.” Besides tattoo art, Ottenhoff said there are local gallery exhibits

There’s no denying that having a tattoo is going to get a reaction, positive or negative, from the person who sees your ink. There are many myths associated with tattoos; thus, terms like “tramp stamp” are used to degrade those who choose to get a tattoo. Studies have found that the perception of someone who has a tattoo is that they have had more sexual partners and activity (the perceptions of others did not necessarily correlate with reality). The tattooed person is also perceived as being more adventurous, thrill-seeking and risk-taking. In addition to the very existence of a tattoo on your body, the nature

of that tattoo and its message also influences the viewer. Someone with a Tinker Bell tattoo will get a different reaction than someone with a more intense and less playful image. Be careful who you judge and how you judge them. Winston Churchill had a tattoo, but so did his mother, Lady Randolph Churchill. She had a tattoo of a snake encircling each wrist. In fact, prior to the 20th century, it was usually only royalty who could afford a tattoo. Permanent skin adornment was a symbol of regal wealth in England and Russia. Those with tattoos were not judged negatively until they became affordable by the common folk in the 20th century. Heaven forbid that the poor should dare to

Think ink

do what the rich had always done. Do people with tattoos act or think differently from the rest of the population? Well, yes, no, and maybe. A 2012 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that those with body modifications (the study looked at tattoos and piercings) had more liberal attitudes toward sexual behaviors but that did not carry over into engaging in risky sexual behaviors. A January 2012 research investigation into tattoos, published in the Annals of Epidemiology, used a sample of 8656 men and women between the ages of 16 and 64 in Australia. This study investigated demographic and behavioral correlates of getting tattooed.

This research found that the highest rates of tattooing (29.4%) were found in women in their 20s. Men and women ages 20–39 were most likely to have been tattooed. Tattooing was found to be associated with other forms of risk-taking behaviours. Recent research released over the past year revealed some interesting health information about those who have tattoos. The body is naturally designed to fight disease and injury. When you get a tattoo, your body reacts to all the needle intrusions. Immediately after getting a tattoo, you are more susceptible to illnesses like the common cold. But in the long term, you become more immune to diseases like the flu and colds. When you

get a tattoo, your body releases immunoglobin A to prevent infection. The more tattoos a person gets, the higher the level of immunoglobin A becomes. According to a study at the University of Alabama, people with one tattoo had a much lower level of immunoglobin A compared to people who have multiple tattoos. There you have it: each autumn remember to get your flu shot and a tattoo.

Amateur photographers invited to enter Cataraqui Conservation Foundation 50th anniversary photo contest News - Photographers have been capturing nature in all her wonders at parks for decades. When it comes to showcasing nature›s beauty locally, the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) has some of the most picturesque spots to photograph wildlife and scenic beauty in southeastern Ontario. Now, amateur photographers are invited to celebrate that beauty by participating in a photo contest as part of the Cataraqui Conservation Founda-

tion (CCF) 50th anniversary celebrations. “The contest was established to celebrate the accomplishments and stewardship, of the CCF over the past 50 years,” explained Carol Murphy, CCF vice-president and photo contest organizer. “We celebrate their commitment, generous support and timeless efforts by looking back through photographs of the public›s favourite memories (new or old) at one of the CRCA many areas in three categories: activities and events, flora and fauna, and landscape,”

purchase of the Bayview Wetland near Amherstview, and continues to assist in additional land purchases.” The foundation is vital to the ongoing operation of all CRCA parks and programs, such as the outdoor education curriculum-based program for 6,500 school children annually. “Often provincial and federal support for authority projects is contingent upon there being private support to show community commitment,” adds Bell. “The Foundation can meet that requirement to raise funds to support the activities of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority.” “Proceeds from our annual Forever Green gala and donations through our Partners in Education campaign support education and wildlife programs for young people at the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area (Kingston) and the Mac Johnson Wildlife Area (Brockville), are helping to ensure that

future generations will continue to value the natural environment:” Bell thinks founding members would be impressed with what they began half a century ago. The ten citizens who formed the original foundation board started something that has had impact on young and old alike for five decades as they visit the growing number of properties and use the trails in all seasons,” says Bell. “The school children who have participated in the Outdoor Education program have become ambassadors for conservation in our region.» The photo contest, sponsored by Camera Kingston, is open to all residents who live within the boundaries of the Cataraqui Region watershed, who are not professional photographers. Participants may submit up to four photos, which must be submitted in 8x10 or 8x12 format and printed at Camera Kingston, as well as via a digital format. There is an entry fee of $5 per entry (tax included), which includes the cost of the print. The winning entry in each category will receive a complimentary one-year pass to the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area and Gould Creek Conservation Area. Camera Kingston has also donated a Manfrotto photo backpack (value $150) and six $10 gift certificates.

The CRCA owns and manages 4,000 hectares of land, with a goal of protecting and preserving the watershed. The CCF raises money to assist in the purchase of lands in the watersheds to ensure that the flora and fauna continue to have a healthy habitat. Michael Bell, CCF past president, explains the foundation was founded in 1965 to support the CRCA, which was established the year before. As a registered charity, the foundation can raise funds, hold property and generally support the activities of the Authority. Education about habitat and its biodiversity is one way to ensure this precious environment will be preserved. “The construction of the outdoor centre at the Little Cataraqui property on Division Street is one of the projects the foundation raised funds for,” says Bell. “More recently the foundation raised substantial sums for the

Well known Wolfe Islander receives Senior of the Year Award greetings from the county, to talk about what’s going on at the county but most importantly to recognize that we are all one. If there is an issue, we need to talk about it and resolve it. The county and the townships are working more closely than they ever have. It’s the way of the future and very important to all of us,” she said. Frontenac County CAO Kelly Pender brought council up to date on what has been going on at Frontenac County for the last six months. “Like everyone else we passed our budget . We also passed the KPMG study recommendations in December to allow each of our member municipalities to know what our position going forward and to develop a long range financial plan, reviewed by our auditor, which looked at everything from reserves to service levels.” Pender spoke of the importance of the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Conference and one of their priorities to Frontenac County (and to Frontenac Islands). that is “Closing the cell gap, including cross border 9-1-1 cell reception issues” , ie.. calling 911 from the south side of Wolfe Island and getting a dispatcher in Cape Vincent , adding that Warden Smith had presented to the CRTC in April on behalf of the Wardens Conference.

News- The first order of business at the Frontenac Islands regular meeting of council was the presentation of the Wolfe Island ‘Senior of the Year 2016 Award’ by Mayor Denis Doyle, to well known Wolfe Island community member. Nadine (Hawkins) Greenwood. Nadine, had no idea why she had been asked to attend the meeting simply assuming it had to do with any one of the island committees she is involved with or, that her family, and friends had been informed of the event until she stepped out the door of the WI Town Hall with the mayor , where the presentation took place and saw them all there. “It is a pleasure to see so many of you here as we honour Nadine with this year’s ‘Senior of the Year Award’. Most of you know of her years on the island and her contributions to it as a volunteer,” Mayor Doyle said, noting in particular her 13 years with the island’s (volunteer) ambulance service, and her ongoing involvement with the Big Sandy Bay Committee since its inception in 2004 and her work in the city. Nadine’s surprise was evident as she graciously accepted the award. “I am so grateful to receive this award and thrilled and happy to have my family here to share this occasion with me,” she said. Nadine is a proud parent and grandparent, and a long standing TRUCKLOADS ARRIVING DAILY CWL member. She continues to do the FROM ONTARIO GROWERS bookkeeping for the island’s Sacred Heart Parish.

Silver artist Tina Roeder in her Kingston Studio. Photo/Mark Bergin isolates parts that she wants to etch. She then prints the image, or its reverse, on thin plastic film. Next, she uses heat to apply the plastic onto sterling silver. The ink that’s been imprinted on the plastic adheres to the metal. Then she removes the film from the metal and the ink image remains on the silver. That ink acts as what Roeder said is called a resist, protecting specific areas of the metal from being etched. When the silver is soaked in an etchant, bare metal is removed from areas not covered by the ink. Now she’s got an etched image on a piece of silver. The modern turns to the ancient, as traditional metalsmith

Roeder explained that she gets a lot of requests to create mementos of people who have died. “Their family digs up old letters and I create jewelry based on the person’s own handwriting,” said Roeder. “I like to think I’m helping people out a little bit. I particularly enjoy making personalized jewelry and creating wearable mementos from little scraps of paper I receive. I often work with interesting script and handwriting, reviving old forgotten letters. I enjoy creating personalized pieces, each with its own narrative.” Continued on page 33

skills come into play. Roeder saws, files, sands, solders, polishes and does whatever else is required to turn the piece of silver into jewelry. Sound complicated? It is. Roeder likes combining her artistic and scientific skills. What she does, etching, is a chemical processed as opposed to the mechanical methods involving in engraving. Most of her time is spent on custom work. “I do a lot of pieces involving handwriting from old letters,” she said. “I just finished a piece for a woman whose husband was one of the 14 people who died in the San Bernardino shooting.”

Following tradition with modern methods Continued from page 32

Roeder’s work creating jewelry featuring the handwriting of relatives began with a diary that dates back to 1812. “My family had old diaries that my great great grandfather had written when he accompanied Napoleon into Russia,” she said. “He wrote in a diary every day for over a year. My dad was going to take it to Germany to donate it. I took a bunch of photos before he did.” Material from the 1812 diaries became the start of Roeder’s etched jewelry. She said that etching can be done with any metal, from silver and copper to brass and gold. She tends not to work with gold since

she doesn’t like working with nitric acid, the chemical needed to etch gold. “It’s a really old technique,” she said. “The only new thing is the use of printing I use now. Anything acts as a resist, even a black Sharpie pen. It’s such an interesting technique that used to be used in the Middle Ages for armor. When I started, there were people etching, but I wanted to do handwriting and similar things. I searched and found one woman in Australia.” Roeder has written a booklet about her technique. You’ll find a summary of the process on her website. She said that when she started

her etching, there wasn’t much information, and whenever she’d find a book she’d buy it. Today, she said, it’s often as simple as going on Youtube to find the information. “I use Photoshop to format all my images before printing,” she said. “Ink from your printer will act as a resist on the silver so any area not covered by ink will be etched. Decide which areas you want etched, and which ones to remain raised. Experiment with inverting negative and positive space for different effects.Your image will be reversed when transferred to silver so make sure if you’re working with text to flip it horizontally.”

The key to etching work is that you have to keep your skills active. That means a lot of silversmithing. Roeder said that she melted a fair amount of silver when she started her craft. “There were lots of silver puddles,” she said. When not practising her craft, Roeder loves travelling. “I’m a real gallery girl,” she said. “I love going to galleries.” Given the annual cycles that tend to bring a lot of busy work around Christmas, Mother’s Day and graduations, Roeder hopes to enjoy some down time over the summer. “I’m pretty happy with where things are,” she said. “I really love

the custom work. At times I’d like to be doing more sketching of my own and creating my own designs. I’m headed that way. But I keep going back to the custom work. When I get tired of it and leave it for a while, I then miss it. I love the stories what go with the custom work.” For more information about Tina Roeder or to commission custom work, visit tinaroeder.ca. She shies away from the usual public exhibitions, but there are two events this year where you’ll find this artist and her work: Artsfest in Kingston from July 1 – 3 and Maker’s Hand in Picton in November.

There was no such thing as “show and tell” at the Northcote School. There was no room for something as frivolous as bringing something from home to talk about in front of the rest of the pupils. Once we settled in our seats, our whole day, except for a 15 minute recess, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and of course our hour for lunch, we were stuck to our seats like ﬂypaper. The truth of the matter was none of us had much to show off, even if there was something called ‘show and tell’. With the exception of bad Marguerite, of course. If it wasn’t brand new hair ribbons laying across her Shirley Temple curls like a folded up Renfrew Mercury, it was ankle sox with real lace on the cuffs. And then one day, just before Miss Crosby came out on the stoop to ring the big brass bell, in rolled Marguerite on a brand new bicycle. No one ever rode a bicycle to the Northcote School, not even cousins Two or Three Mile Herman, who came all the way from the Barr Line. The Northcote Side Road, like a washboard and full of ruts, meant that anyone who would even attempt to ride a bicycle on it would be hard pressed to get to school before the nine o’clock bell. And there was bad Marguerite who lived just a spit away, riding a brand new bicycle. It was bright green and it had wide tires, which my brother Emerson called balloon tires, and it had a little bell on the handlebars, which Marguerite kept ringing all the way into the schoolyard. My best friends Joyce and Velma and I just stood there like stone. A new bicycle!! Imagine!! We were taught at the Lutheran Sunday school that envy was a mortal sin, but that day I came close to breaking that commandment. Marguerite leaned the bicycle against the side of the stoop, wiped the fenders with the cuff of her sweater, and made it clear to all of us standing gawking

at it, that it would be curtains for anyone who laid a hand on it! Even Miss Crosby’s eyes were like saucers, but of course she said nothing, ever careful not to show favouritism to any one pupil. Marguirite asked, during the morning, if she could go to the windowsill and sharpen her pencil. We knew perfectly well there wasn’t a thing wrong with her pencil. What she wanted to do was take a peek outside to have a look at her bicycle! All went well into the day. Morning recess passed. No one mentioned the new bicycle. Our lunch was eaten outside, and still no one talked about the bicycle. Marguirite was plenty annoyed, you could tell just by the way she was tossing those hateful storedyed curls around. I could see my brother Emerson and his pal Cecil snickering over by the back fence, but they never went near the bicycle either. Afternoon recess came and went. Cecil put up his hand, with two fingers, which meant he had to use the outside privy, and it would take longer than if he only held up one finger. Miss Crosby nodded, and Cecil got up from his desk, nodded at Emerson, and went out the door. Finally, the big CPR clock on the wall showed it was four o’clock, and Miss Crosby said we were dismissed. Emerson and Cecil were the first to get out the door, and they headed right for the gate, where they looked like they had just robbed a bank. Marguirite wasn’t far behind. She took one look at her bicycle and her scream could be heard in Admaston! Velma, Joyce and I ran to see what all the commotion was about, and there were those two big balloon tires, as flat as pancakes. “Must have a slow leak,” Cecil said, as he wandered over from the gate. “Happens all the time on our old Model T,” Emerson offered. “Guess you’ll just have to push and drag it home.” When I last saw Marguirite and her bicycle she hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards. The bicycle was big and heavy, the road was full of ruts, and even though she lived close to the school, and we were three and a half miles, Velma guessed we’d beat her home.

Vanilla-spiked strawberry danish a tasty treat Fresh strawberry danishes are easy to make using frozen puff pastry. We’ve added cardamom, a classic Scandinavian spice to the glaze. Preparation time: 2 minutes Cooking time: 5 minutes Cooling time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients • 2 cups (500 mL) chopped strawberries • 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar • 2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla • 1 sheet (225 g) frozen butter puff pastry, thawed • 1 egg yolk • 1 tbsp (15 mL) water • 1/4 cup (50 mL) icing sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) milk • Pinch ground cardamom Preparation instructions In medium saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar; cook over medium heat stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Mash with potato masher until just little bits remain. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in small

bowl, stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water until smooth. Whisk into strawberry mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla. Refrigerate until fully cooled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, unroll puff pastry, leaving on parchment paper, set on baking sheet. Trim to form a 10- x 8-inch (25 x 20 cm) rectangle. Position pastry with 8-inch (20 cm) side towards you. Starting at bottom right corner of pastry, using a sharp knife, diagonally cut 3-inch (7.5 cm) strips of pastry, about 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide, right to the top of pastry (there might be a tiny triangle of leftover pastry at top, simply discard). Repeat with left side of pastry. Refrigerate pastry on baking sheet while strawberries cool. In small bowl, whisk egg yolk with water; set aside.
