Repaving Blitz: Kingston launches widespread repairs to winter-damaged streets By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Cubs bee badge Pg. 22

Kingston Heritage – The winter damage to Kingston’s roads is much more extensive and expensive than previously estimated. City officials now say it will cost $3.3 million to repair the cracked, uneven and pothole-scarred roads after a brutal winter season that brought a combination of extreme cold, ice build-up, freeze-thaw cycles and the extra use of road salt. The sky-high price tag is based on a citywide survey of roads that found “significant areas of asphalt pavement deterioration.” “There’s no doubt this winter caused hav-

oc on our road surfaces across the city,” said Coun. Jeff Scott. Motorists have complained about the post-winter condition of local roads. Now that the weather has warmed up sufficiently, the city is planning swift action to deal with the problem. Councillors voted 12-1 to begin a costly fix. They will siphon $3 million from the municipal capital reserve fund to undertake immediate asphalt resurfacing in areas where potholes reach into the gravel base, while the remaining $300,000 will be funded through the existing public works budget to continue patching smaller surface potholes. “This type of work was not planned. It’s

extensive repairs. Some roads are beyond patching,” explained Jim Keech, president of Utilities Kingston. City officials estimate there are 20 kilometres of road lanes throughout the city that need to be resurfaced. That means using big machinery instead of shovels. Keech says the work will lead to smoother conditions, though he cautions the repairs are not meant to last more than a few years. “It’s not a long-term fix. We are hoping to get four or five years from it.” The extensive repaving will begin June 1. “We estimate this work will be eight to 10 weeks in duration,” Mark Van Buren, the city’s director of engineering, informed coun-

cil May 20. The needed repairs are so widespread that public works crews do not have the resources to do it alone, meaning private contractors will be hired to undertake most of the work. Because of the extensive repaving blitz, which is in addition to the already-planned road work for this season, motorists and businesses will be given very little advance notice. Keech says the city will rely on social media to spread the word about lane closures. In many cases, the repairs will take one or two days in each section before crews move on to another street.

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, May 29, 2014 3

By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just six years after it was installed, the large score clock that hangs over centre ice at the Rogers K-Rock Centre is broken and needs to be replaced at a cost of over half a million dollars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More specifically, the four video display panels and their controllers were not functioning properly,â&#x20AC;? said a May 20 report to council by commissioner Denis Leger, who sought $550,000 in municipal funding to purchase a new high-tech device. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very upsetting,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Dorothy Hector. Replacing the score clock wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be cheap, but councillors were told they had little choice. The video screens are widely used for hockey games and sporting events, including the upcoming National Figure Skating Championships the arena will host in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a choice because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for our events, for very good quality video in order to have the best customer experience,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Hector explained. Councillors were informed the

2008-installed video display system in the city-owned arena canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be repaired by Tribar, the original manufacturer, because the company has since gone out of business. The scoreboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure â&#x20AC;&#x153;comes four years sooner than we wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve liked,â&#x20AC;? Leger explained to council. Councillors voiced displeasure the high-tech device failed so soon, and is no longer under warranty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did we just get short-changed?â&#x20AC;? asked Coun. Lisa Osanic. Lynn Carlotto, SMGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of the arena, says the clock shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lasted between eight and 13 years. The malfunctioning system was first detected at the start of the 2013/2014 hockey season. City officials say they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;fortunateâ&#x20AC;? to track down a video display technician to provide a shortterm fix for the recent hockey season, but added the risk of its imminent failure is â&#x20AC;&#x153;relatively high.â&#x20AC;? Under an agreement with SMG, the arenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operator, the city is fully responsible for the replacement costs. In approving the purchase of a new score clock, some councillors also wondered if the new technology will, itself, become obsolete in a few years

and leave the city on the hook for yet another replacement tab. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really hope that in five years the technology hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed and we have to replace it,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Rick Downes, the only councillor to vote against the purchase. The city quietly launched a preliminary bidding process in mid-April in an attempt to find a company to replace the score clock. As a result, staff recommended hiring Daktronics Canada at $469,600 to install and service the new device. Daktronics has installed similar electronic machinery in NHL, OHL, MLB and NBA venues around North America. Another company, Media Resources Inc., actually submitted a much lower bid of $367,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about $100,000 cheaper than Daktronics. But city officials will go with the higher priced company based on its track record for score clock installation and warranty coverage. Time is of the essence. Daktronics says it will need at least 16 weeks to manufacture, install and test a new score clock, which would put the timeline very close to the start of the 2014/2015 OHL season. To fast-track the process, the con tract details will be turned over to SMG to negotiate and complete using the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money. The Rogers K-Rock Centre capi-

The work wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be confined to the central part of the Kingston, where many of the older roads have extensive damage. City officials produced a map indicating there are winter-damaged roads in the west end as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were also notable areas in City West with significant road deterioration, while City East and City North had very few areas that were documented with significant road deterioration with the exception of Highway 2 east between the LaSalle Causeway and Highway 15.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Rick Downes raised the question of

whether the unusually severe winter will become the norm in Kingston due to global warming, and if the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital reserves are rich enough to handle similar future expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How sustainable is the (reserve) fund if we have repeats?â&#x20AC;? Keech says his department is struggling with how to budget for future winters, noting the city currently sets winter control budgets based on five-year averages and reserve funds are designed to handle one-time expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the norm itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have serious impacts,â&#x20AC;? he warned, and not only on seasonal road budgets. The capital reserve fund is replenished annually through a one per cent capital tax thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collected from regular property tax bills. The approved extra funding, to put into perspective, is the equivalent of a one per cent property tax hike. The $3.3 million road tab is also on top of the $1.5 million that council recently set aside to cover some of the public works staff overtime costs for plowing the streets.

Kings Town Tenors team up with Paul Langlois for the first ever Meister-Bash By Mandy Marciniak

From left, Danny Young, Tim Torgersen and Jack Francis come together to form the Kings Town Tenors, a spin-off group of the Kingston Meistersingers. The trio will perform with Paul Langlois on June 5 at the Octave Theatre. will be split between the Kingston Meistersingers and Easter Seals. “The Kings Town Tenors have done seven Easter Seals events over the past few years and they have all been so much fun and pretty successful. We think it is a great cause and we love supporting them and the work they do with kids.” For Meistersinger president Liane Penny, the fundraiser is a very appreciated event and she hopes that the funds will go a long way in helping them produce their annual fall musical. “We are doing Anne of Green Gables this fall and we are really excited about it,” explained Penny. “The costs associated with producing a full musical are high, but we get a lot of help from events like this and we really look forward to putting on a good show.” Space at the Octave Theatres is limited so Francis urges people to get their tickets soon. “The theatre holds around 200 people so that certainly is intimate. When we perform we like to have fun and we all really enjoy being up there and interacting with each other. The banter in between songs and getting the audience comfortable with us is what we do best and that is exactly what this show will be like.” Meister-Bash takes place on June 5 at the Octave Theatre at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are available at Novel Idea or by calling Jack at 613-540-4279. You can also email happychef@cogeco.ca for tickets.

Downtown cycle-only day could drive shoppers away, BIA chair warns By Bill Hutchins

Heritage Events – The Kingston Meistersingers are at it again – presenting another unique night of entertainment and singing. MeisterBash is a first time show that features the Meistersingers spin-off group the Kings Town Tenors. Jack Francis, Tim Torgersen, and Danny Young all met on the set of ‘The King and I’ a few years ago and since then, the three singers have formed a trio that performs throughout Kingston in the summer and for different charity events. “We ended up all coming together for the annual spring fundraiser, Meistertainment,” explained Francis. “We kept going and we went from only performing a few songs to being part of a seven piece band with a catalogue of 68 songs.” That extensive catalogue is what inspired a larger scale show - that and a famous friend, Paul Langlois of The Tragically Hip. Langlois is close friends with Francis and will join the Tenors for the evening; he will also debut some of his new solo material. “This is the first time we have done an event like this, but we as the Tenors have talked about doing something like this for a long time. I’ve known Paul for a long time too and it was just a happy circumstance that we were able to put it all together,” added Francis. Audience members will also be part of a larger production. “The fun part of it is that it will be recorded by an audio engineer and the audience gets to be part of a live recording,” explained Francis. “They will also get, three weeks later, with redemption of their tickets, a CD to go along with their concert experience.” This unique experience is certainly worth the $25 admission in Francis’ opinion, but he also sees the evening as a chance to give back to the community and the entertainment group he loves.

Kingston Heritage - Will an upcoming cycling event in Downtown Kingston do more harm than good? Ed Smith, outgoing chair of the downtown’s business improvement area (BIA), is voicing concerns over a plan to close 3.5 kilometres of downtown streets this fall to promote cycling and walking on a Sunday. A Toronto-based non-profit organization, 8-80 Cities, has received provincial funding to hold Streets Alive Kingston on Sunday, September 28 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The organization has partnered with the City of Kingston and the local public health department to promote the activity. However, Smith raised concerns about the group’s experience at organizing such a large event and the potential impact of closing main roads into the downtown for six hours. “I don’t think they have a communications plan or a history.” While Smith supports the cause of promoting an active community,

he says it may also be a frustrating experience for motorists who can’t get downtown to do some shopping. “If this is lousy they’ll blame the downtown.” Organizers plan to close several blocks of Princess Street, between Albert Street and Ontario Street, plus several key intersections. Several blocks of King Street, between Princess Street and City Park, will also be dedicated to cyclists only on the one Sunday. The proposed cycling route would span 3.5 kilometres between the Memorial Centre and City Park. Many members of the BIA also voiced concerns over the closure of key routes into the downtown, noting the chosen weekend in late September coincides with a number of other planned activities such as Kingston WritersFest, Frontenacs’ hockey games, market vendors and the return of post-secondary students. The suggestion that cyclists will also do shopping along the downtown’s closed streets prompted chuckles from some BIA members at a recent meeting. Many believe the cyclists will cruise right by

stores. Smith, who compared the Princess Street closure to shutting down Gardiners Road to motorists for a day, suggested the BIA may ask the group to select a different, lower-profile route this year. And, if the event is successful, they could then close Princess Street next year. “We’re not just giving in to a group that thinks they have a great idea.” A municipal committee recently looked at the Streets Alive Kingston event, and related street closures, before the issue pedals to council for a final decision. The city is being asked to contribute $10,000 to help pay for some of the logistical expenses including the installation of barricades while police officers are on hand to direct traffic and ensure route safety of participants, volunteers and residents. Supporters of the event say closing streets to motorized traffic has proven successful in the past, noting the one-day Princess Promenade is well attended. In fact, the BIA is planning to add a second pedestrian-only Promenade day this fall in a bid to lure more shoppers downtown.

City proposes bylaw to decorate plywood around construction sites By Bill Hutchins Reporter

Kingston Heritage - The plywood that goes up around construction sites is usually an eyesore that screams ‘Keep Out.’ Now, city councillors are looking at creating a bylaw that would require builders to add some colour to the boarding so it’s not so ugly. “It can be unappealing to look at,” said Mayor Mark Gerretsen.

Most agree the plywood sheets or green tarp, designed to mask construction activity and safeguard a work site, can also have a negative visual impact, especially in the downtown area.

We made it through the first year… Mandy Marciniak

Reporter

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Editorial - On June 8, Korey and I will celebrate our first anniversary as a married couple and while there are many tales of the first year of marriage being the worst for a couple, I think we did pretty well. A lot of factors contributed to our success and as the day approaches, I can’t help but reflect on the past year and I find myself wondering what the big deal is. Why do so many marriages fail in that first year? Korey and I lived together for a year before we got married and when people ask us now ‘how is married life?’ Korey and I always reply in the same way. We tell them life is exactly as it was before, but without the stress of planning a wedding. Generally, if it is a married person asking the question they chuckle and nod in agreement. They understand the stresses of wedding planning and the toll it can

take on a couple and they also understand the ease that follows. I can easily say that the year of wedding planning and living together for the first time was the hardest of our nearly nine year relationship. We fought more in that year than we ever had before and the endless discussions with our parents over wedding invitations, flower arrangements, menus and guest lists were partially to blame. We both came home from work each night tired from the day and then we’d have to discuss the wedding. It was exhausting and sometimes frustrating and it truly tested our relationship, but I’m so happy it did. There were other issues at play that year too. We were balancing a lot and we were adjusting to living together for the first time. We both greatly value independent alone time and that is tough when you first move in together. Luckily, Korey has a hobby that takes him away from our home a few nights a week and that has worked quite well for us thus far. Other smaller issues were not such an easy fix. Korey and I would argue over little things like household chores and who’s turn it was to empty the litter

box. While all of these fights seem insignificant to me now, I remember being so frustrated with him on multiple occasions. All of this tested my patience and while I tried to ignore things at first, it built up and I had to confront him. Turns out I was doing annoying things too and we figured it out. We both adapted and I learned that I need to let things go sometimes too. It is still hard sometimes and we certainly still fight, but not over the little things. Those are the most valuable lessons I learned in that year and I think that is where many couples stumble in terms of marriage. The clichéd phrase that ‘marriage is all about compromise’ really is true. I know many families and religions are against people living together before marriage, but I am definitely an advocate for it. Living in the same space allows couples time to iron out those initial little issues and gives them time to work through them. And if you can handle those issues while planning a big wedding then you should be set for a very happy life together, or at least that is what I am hoping. One year down and 50 plus to go!

In Our Opinion

A little bit of cat therapy Heritage Editorial - Did you know that cat purrs have been proven to lower stress and reduce the risk of heart attack? Cat purrs can also help in healing bones and ligaments and can help in terms of overall mood. All of this sounds pretty amazing and that is why several groups are now capitalizing on the amazing powers of cat therapy. Cat cafés are becoming a new trend. A cat café is exactly what you think it is – a place where you can go and enjoy your cup of coffee and pastry with the added bonus of being surrounded by cats. Think of it as interactive cat videos with your daily coffee. (We all watch them anyway, why not go for the real thing?) These cafés are popular in Asia, Europe and Australia, and are sure to take off in North America as well. The newest cat café is set to open in Toronto this fall and hopes to bring cat lovers and coffee lovers together in a friendly, relaxing environment equipped with cat friendly furniture and toys for both felines and humans. The cafés also work with local shelters and the cats that are roaming around the café are all up for adoption. It becomes a win-win situation for both the café owner and the shelter and in most cases, shelters saw an increase in adoptions when working with a café. This is great news for shelters that are filled to capacity each week. Another program that is running with shelters is the Kitty Litter-ature program where young kids come in to shelters and read to cats in an effort to improve their reading skills and domesticate cats that are up for adoption. The program is seeing great results for the kids as it takes away the intense pressure that some kids feel when they have to read aloud in class or to their parents. The program also benefits the cats who are seeking adoption. We all know that the friendliest ones get picked first and this allows cats to be more acquainted with humans and therefore more willing to earn their affection. Both programs are pretty encouraging and justify what we’ve all known for years – cats really are the best!

Thank you Amherstview, Bath and Odessa! Dear editor, The May 14, 2014 Hotel Dieu Hospital Food Blitz was the 29th year for community food collection in support of the Partners in Mission Food Bank. We are indebted to our mayor Bill Lowry, Fire Chief Wayne Calver and the Amherstview Fire Department for again providing a venue for the collection, sorting and packing of food items, and to the volunteer firefighters for their tremendous help during the event. In the Bath, Odessa and Amherstview communities it was a very successful evening, with enthusiastic support from over 300 volunteers from each of the three communities that included Briargate staff, Scouts Canada, Air Cadets, the Catholic Women’s League, the Knights of Columbus, the sisters of the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph and Our Lady of Mount Carmel School students and teachers.

Mary has desperate wish to wear a slip Mary Cook

Columnist

editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Lifestyle - My sister Audrey said you had to be a certain age before you were old enough to wear a slip. I could never understand the reasoning behind that rule. Surely, if you could see your underpinnings through your dress, you needed a slip! And I told her so too. The winter clothes had been packed away, and the summer wear was out. “Well,” Audrey explained, “children your age don’t wear sheer dresses, and so you don’t need a slip.” I mentally pictured my scant summer wardrobe. The only dresses I owned were two Dan River Cottons I wore to church or for very special occasions. Whereas Audrey, had at least three dresses, one of a lacy fabric that had come in the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie, and one Mother had made from an organza piece of material that was on sale at Walker’s Store in Renfrew. Another dress, which she often wore to the Northcote School was a light material, and if she stood in a doorway,

or the sun caught it just the right way, without a slip you would certainly see her underpinnings. She definitely needed a slip for all three of them! But how I longed for a slip! Now, part of it, I knew, was because there was a saying back in those days, that if a girl’s slip was showing, you quietly went up to her and said, “It’s snowing down south,” and she immediately went and did something about her slip peeking beneath her hemline. I was very impressed when I heard someone say that to another girl in the schoolyard. That, to me was a sure sign of growing up. How I longed for a slip. The best thing to do was to talk it over with Mother. She said Audrey was right, that you needed a slip if you were wearing something that could show your underpinnings... but she also said it had nothing to do with how old you were. That was wonderful news to me. And I set out trying to make a bargain with Mother. If I did extra chores on Saturday, washed my underwear out every night without being asked, and promised to try to have only pleasant thoughts when it came to bad Marguirite, would Mother consider letting me have a slip? The last promise I knew, would be the hard-

est to keep! Mother said to let her think about it. That meant no more discussion on the subject until she brought it up. Like so many times when I longed for something that was out of my reach, I couldn’t get owning a slip out of my mind. Like the little wood pencil box my friend Joyce had...with a green palm tree painted on the outside, and a lid that slid open by using your thumb nail, and it swivelled to show a place for pencils, and even a little dent for your art gum. Or the short white stockings bad Marguirite wore to school with a tiny row of lace around the cuffs. Wanting the pencil box or the white stockings would forever remain a dream. But owning my first slip, I thought, wasn’t being that unreasonable. And then one morning I came down from our bedroom and Mother was, as usual, standing at the Findlay Oval stirring the porridge in the big white pot. She snapped the ladle against the side of the pot and put it on a saucer on the reservoir, and told me to go to her bedroom and bring out what was there. The bed was neatly made with the Log Cabin quilt pulled up over the pillows (bedspreads were unheard of in our house), and there was some-

thing folded in the centre of the bed. I picked it up, and it was a slip! A real slip! I tore to the kitchen like someone possessed and asked Mother if it was for me. “Well, it’s too short for Audrey, and I doubt your brothers would be wanting to wear it,” Mother said. I was already dressed for school, but there was no way another day was going to pass without my wearing a slip. I wasn’t in a dress, but had on a cotton skirt made out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress shirts, and a blouse that once belonged to Audrey. I tore upstairs and in jig time came down with the slip on next to my bare skin and underpants, and with the blouse and skirt back on. Mother had made it at night, when we children were in bed, and the steady clack-clack of the old Singer sewing machine could be heard downstairs almost every night, but I never knew what creation Mother was working on. And here, last night, she had sewn me my first slip. It was made of white broadcloth, a luxury to be sure. It was a few inches shorter than my skirt, and had wide straps, not like Audrey’s slip which had little slides you could move up and down to shorten or length it. But I was so thrilled, I could hardly wait to get to the Northcote Side Road where my

friend Velma would be waiting for me to walk to school, and tell her what I had on under my skirt. I also told Joyce, and we went behind the outhouse at recess so that I could lift my skirt and show them my new slip. I would love to have let the whole school know...the girls at least, but of course I wouldn’t dare be that forward. No, I just had to live with keeping it to myself and my two best friends. Of course, I couldn’t wear it under my slacks, or shorts, and as it got warmer, it stuck to my skin, so I started only wearing it to church. It didn’t take long for the novelty of owning a slip to wear off. And it stuck to my dress or my skirt. To be honest it became quite a nuisance. And besides, since Mother had made it so much shorter than my skirts or dresses, not one soul sidled up to me and said “Mary, it’s snowing down south.” So, if no one knew I was even wearing as slip, what was the point of having one on?

Once again it is all about the Wolfe Island Ferry By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news-There is something about being on the Wolfe Island ferry on your way to Kingston when, without much information, you suddenly are on your way back to Wolfe Island, from wherever you were on the route. The reason, of course, is an AMBULANCE call on the island, for which TIME may be of the essence. However many times, once back at the dock in Marysville, it may be any where from 5 minutes to one hour of sitting in your vehicle on the ferry before the ambulance arrives for immediate boarding and departure… OR as is often the case, (for a number of reasons), there is no need for the patient to go to hospital but the ferry has not been notified and finally the ferry you boarded, (e.g. the 10 am). to get to the city departs once again from the island at anywhere from noon to 1pm or later. It often disrupts the schedule for the rest of the day, a frustration for the Captain, the crew, and of course the public. This particular policy has been in place for some 25 years. You can imagine the backup of vehicles in line this can create on both sides of the river and the resulting frustration of the people waiting….. Recently a review of the process was undertaken by Frontenac Islands, Ministry of Transportation (MTO), Canada Coast Guard

Prescott, Marine Communications and Traffic Service (MCTS) and Kingston Central Ambulance Communication Centre (KCACC). During the study period 2011 to 2013 data was collected and analysed to understand the volume of Wolfe Island ambulance requests, the time factors (Time intervals) and distances involved. Frontenac County Council accepted the report prepared by Chief Paul J. Charbonneau Director of Paramedic Services and have initiated a 6-month pilot project so beginning June 1st when a request is made on Wolfe Island for an ambulance, the Frontenac Paramedic Services (FPS) supervisor is to be notified by dispatch, and it is the supervisor who will initiate direct contact with the Captain of the Wolfe Islander III to determine and coordinate ferry movement. If the Wolfe Islander III is on its way to Kingston and has passed the Point Fredrick Buoy (KH2, just off RMC,) the ferry will continue to Kingston, unload, then load cars and waiting passengers and return to WI’s Marysville dock (35 minutes) According to the report Calculations for the timeframe of an ambulance call total an average of 43:54 minutes. “This new approach will avoid the ferry returning from Kingston before unloading cars in the event of an Ambulance call on Wolfe Island,” Mayor Doyle commented. “And there are other benefits such as better communications directly between the Captain and the Paramed-

ics, instead of going through the Coast Guard in Prescott to relay information.” Presently when an emergency call is received, the ferry very often returns to Marysville regardless of where it is on its journey. ** And with regard to another MTO situation Mayor Doyle added that MTO has no problem with council’s request that MTO reduce the number of Dangerous Goods trips specifically the Thursday 2:30 pm run from Wolfe Island ( between Victoria Day –Labour Day). “But they wanted to give the fuel companies time to change any Thursday appointments. MTO is also reviewing the time of the return trip on Tuesday’s with the fuel suppliers to see if they would like it changed. Hopefully discussions will be completed in time to implement changes by early June,” he added. ** With regard to Howe Island, Doyle noted that Scuba Divers will be checking pipes there during the regular maintenance shut down May 26th. “Hopefully then it will not take MTO long to finalize their plan to deal with the problems as they have been working on it for several months. Council will then organize a public meeting to present what MTO plans to do.” It really is all about transportation isn’t it? FYI: The Wolfe Island Community Medical Clinic held its AGM.

Heritage News – For children ages eight to 12, picture books are often thought of as a thing of the past, but Sarah Balint thinks they can still be useful. Balint runs the Art of Illustration program for Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL) and uses picture books to inspire young artists. “I really try to emphasize the connection with picture books. Kids of that age are out of reading these types of books, but I point out that they are still an incredible resource for them,” explained Balint. “The format of a picture book is 32 pages of art with a story and for these kids, as young artists, that can be very inspiring. They can look at the images and then interpret them in their own way.” That is exactly what the students from the program have done and now their art is being displayed at the Kingston School of Art. “We did have an art show at the library before, but this time we had the opportunity to come show at the Kingston School of Art. We are really excited and it makes for a really great partnership,” added Balint. “The KSOA has a professional gallery called the Window Gallery, but they also have a school gallery where classes are held and works are also displayed around the room. The kids were so happy to see their work on these walls.” This is the fourth time that KFPL has run the Art of Illustration program and with its success thus far, Balint is confident that it will run again. The program focuses on works by famous illustrators from around the world in4:19 PM cluding Canadians Paul Moran and Barbara Reid; it encourages students to It’simages grandpa’s time use the they seefirst as inspiration.

Elginburg Public School choir gears up for an exciting night with Miss Emily By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Students at Elginburg Public School make choir a priority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying off. While many school choirs are performing at assemblies and for their parents, Elginburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir is opening for famous musicians like local favourite Emily Fennell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two years ago we opened for Emily at her concert at Sydenham Street United Church,â&#x20AC;? explained choir leader and teacher Jennifer Guild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year it turned out that she was having her CD release party and she thought of us. When she asked if we would perform again I said yes [immediately].â&#x20AC;? Fennell, who now performs under the new moniker â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Miss Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is launching her new album, Rise, on May 30. In celebration of this release, Fennell decided to throw a party and she remembered how amazing it was to have the kids of Elginburg PS open for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were so enthusiastic and so great and they wanted to do it again and so did I. I have a lot of connections here and so when the time came to do another concert I wanted them to be involved. I am so happy that they wanted to do it again and we are all so excited, â&#x20AC;&#x153; explained Fennell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their energy is contagious. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the event pretty big now and I did that partly for the experience for them.â&#x20AC;? The album launch will kick off with the 36-member choir singing two songs. They will then be joined by Fennell for a third. There will also be a special guest in the choir, Fennellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Piper, who used to be an Elginburg student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daughter used to go to this school and I used to do yard duty here too,â&#x20AC;? said Fennell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school is so

small and really is the centre of this community and I got to know the teachers and the kids really well. The school has this amazing choir and that is really rare to see. Some schools donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have music programs and ones that do have choirs of like six or seven kids. This choir is a sixth of the kids in the school and that is incredible.â&#x20AC;? Guild attributes the choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success to the dedication and enthusiasm of the students. All members of the choir attend practice at least three times a week and Guild rarely has absences at those practices. For choir member Jody Beach, who joined for the first time this year, choir is all about having fun and performing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favourite part is when the curtains close at the end and hearing the clapping,â&#x20AC;? said Jody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love being part of the choir and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much fun. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to perform with Miss Emily and for such a big group of people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little scary but fun too.â&#x20AC;? To calm their nerves, Guild has scheduled a couple of pre-performances for the choir at Glenburnie Public School and Fairmont home. She hopes this will allow them to get a bit more comfortable in front of an audience and help them practice even more. The performances also give Guild an opportunity to do more of what she loves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love hearing their sound and seeing them smile and seeing the enjoyment they get out of it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so rewarding to hear them sing a song together and hear that power in their voices. I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just as excited as they are for the concert.â&#x20AC;? Miss Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CD release party and concert is being held at the Ambassador Hotel and Conference Center on May 30. For more information go to www. themissemily.com.

Frontenacs hire youngest coach in team history By John Harman Photo Journalist

Doug Gilmour introduced 28-year-old Paul McFarland as the new head coach of the Kingston Frontenacs during a press conference at the Rogers K-Rock Centre at noon on May 20. McFarland comes to Kingston from the Oshawa Generals, where he was an assistant coach for two seasons. He played in the OHL with the both the Windsor Spitfires and the Kitchener Rangers, winning a Memorial Cup in 2003. After the OHL, he went on to play for Acadia University and has an award named after him there for leadership and development. Although he is the youngest person to coach the Frontenacs, Paul McFarland was chosen from a list of 60 applicants considered for the coaching job in Kingston. Manager Doug Gilmour said that he was “blown away” by the interview with McFarland, noting his commitment to the team and strong communications skills. With a young team, player

development will be essential to the Frontenacs’ success. Noting that Kingston is a high-end skill team and can score goals, McFarland will be teaching a defense first policy with as much puck control as possible. “Defense wins,” he stated. “The last four teams in the OHL this year at the end of the regular season were the top teams in goals against. Kids need learn how to play to defense within a certain structure and anyone who wants to play at the next level, being the NHL, as individuals have to be able to defend.” Accordingly, the new coaching staff will be concentrating on defensive skills while away from the puck, such as staying above the puck and having all five players come back to help with the defense. McFarland will now start working with Doug Springer, Doug Gilmour and Darren Kiley to find the best fit for an assistant coach for the upcoming OHL season.

Head down to the campfire for a sing-along and s’more fun Heritage News - Few things say summer in Canada quite like sharing music and s’mores around a campfire with friends and family. Add in a gorgeous, St. Lawrence River-side setting and you’ve got yourself a recipe for a perfect evening. The MacLachlan Woodworking Museum is giving community members the opportunity to experience all this for free every Thursday evening during the summer months with the new Campfire Music Series. Well-known Kingston musicians Gary Rasberry, Chris Jackson, Roger James, Julian Gregory and Anna Russell will take turns leading the crowd in song, each providing the music for three sessions over the course of the summer. Juno-nominated musician Gary Rasberry kicked the series off May 22 for a small group of enthusiastic campfire-goers whose spirit was not broken by the rumbling skies and signs imminent rain. He noted that the mood at a campfire setting is unlike that at any other type of gig he typically plays. “The fire itself is a really emotional thing,” Rasberry said. “It really brings out feelings in people. I’m not sure if it’s a cultural thing, since we’ve gathered around campfires [our whole lives], but people kind of get into a special mode where they’re ready to participate [in the songs] or be told

stories and have songs sung to them.” Over the course of the evening, Rasberry played a number of original songs and some classic Canadian covers; children and adults in attendance often joined in to sing, dance and make song requests. “I like playing in different contexts that aren’t predictable,” Rasberry said after the concert. “If I was playing in a…theatre, everyone knows their role - I’m on the stage and they’re [in the audience]. At the campfire I have no idea whether there’s going to be 30-40 people or fewer than 10, so I just figure out a way to connect with people that are there.” Jenny Pedler, program coordinator at the City of Kingston, said that the City has been wanting to do a campfire event at Grass Creek Park for quite some time. “The MacLachlan Woodworking Museum is such a gorgeous site and we’re so fortunate to have it in this beautiful environment,” she said. “A campfire especially is a really big community builder, so we thought let’s take a look first at all the incredible musical talent we have here in Kingston and who might be a perfect fit to come out and lead our community in song.” A team of summer students is also helping to organize the series; they’re even making customdesigned marshmallow roasting sticks out of branches with the museum’s historic woodworking equipment.

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

Canadian author rocks the thriller scene Once in a while I enjoy discovering an author I’d not previously read. That happened recently with D.(Dorothy) J. McIntosh, author of thrillers. She’s as good as the best of them. I read, or at least start, four or five novels a week. But I put many of them down before getting far. I have no sense of needing to finish a book if it’s not holding my interest. Admittedly, I’m on the attention-deficit side of some spectrum. If it’s not holding my attention, I’m not sticking around. Life’s too short to put up with mediocrity. A while back, I pulled D.J. McIntosh’s The Witch of Babylon off a shelf at Wayfarer Books on Princess Street. Looked interesting, so I bought it. It sat in a pile of many books beside my bed for several weeks before I opened it. When I did, it blew me away. There are lots of dumb thrillers out there. The Witch of Babylon isn’t one of them. It’s an intelligent page turner. I was doubly surprised, part way through the book, when I learned that McIntosh hails from Toronto. She’s a member of the Canadian Society for Mesopotamian Studies and supports Reporters Without Borders and The Committee to Protect Journalists. The Witch of Babylon is the first tome of McIntosh’s Mesopotamian trilogy. The book is now sold in twenty countries in at least 15 languages and was selected by CNN International as one of six enduring historical thrillers. Kirkus Reviews calls McIntosh an erudite Dan Brown. I’d add that she doesn’t make things up to suit her plot, she uses real history to propel her storyline. McIntosh has an appreciation for Arabic scholarship and the first text of the trilogy is set in New York City and Iraq. Part of the inspiration for the story was the war in Iraq. She got to know journalists who were working in the thick of it. She retired from her job with the City of Toronto and spent several years writing The Witch of Babylon. Instead of searching for an agent to represent her, she entered the novel in Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger. It was placed on the shortlist. Then it won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Unpublished Crime Novel. The agents came looking for her. Canadian crime fiction writer Louise Penny said in a CBC interview: “What could possibly be wrong with a book about archeology, intrigue, murder, an ancient Babylonian manuscript and the world of art? “Dorothy has created a wonderful plot, but then instead of simply relying on that to fuel the book, she’s given us value for money by making it extremely well written. It doesn’t feel like empty carbs at the end. Just

the opposite. The Witch of Babylon is a rare thing. A wonderful read that is also a good read.” What’s it about? Assyrian lore and its importance to the world. It opens after the 2003 invasion of Baghdad. When the war began, images shocked McIntosh. The National Museum of Iraq was unprotected and, thus, looted mercilessly. At the time, she was researching her book and had read about past destruction and looting of ancient cities in the region. Suddenly, history was repeating itself in front of McIntosh. In The Witch of Babylon, John Madison, a New York art dealer, witnesses a murder and enters a labyrinthine struggle that involves saving a priceless relic looted from Iraq’s National Museum and sent to him by his brother, who has died in a car accident. McIntosh describes it by saying there’s a link between the ancient science of alchemy, an Old Testament book of prophecy and the great Assyrian empire—New York art dealer John Madison must uncover the secret or forfeit his life. Her protagonist is not your typical Rambo or Bruce Willis-type super-skilled police force or military-trained ranger who can do everything to survive. John Madison is an ordinary guy, an art dealer, who doesn’t win outrageous physical battles or have sniper skills to take out a person at a range of a mile. His ordinariness is part of his appeal. The second book of the trilogy was released in 2013. The Book of Stolen Tales eventually takes us back to Iraq, but starts again with New York antiquities dealer John Madison, who is hired to bid on a

rare collection of 17th century fairy tales. For this story, McIntosh did extensive research on the origins of such fairy tales as the Pied Piper and Sleeping Beauty, which have far more sinister undercurrents than portrayed in modern versions and popular movies. She discovered that many fairy tales have their roots in historical events. Madison travels to London, where he wins the Italian book of fairy tales at an auction. Shortly after, it’s stolen from him by a man impossibly claiming to be the author of the 17th century work. Madison’s been warned about some malevolent history and power of the book, and it seems that the caution is true as deaths pile up for those involved with the book fairy tales. Was the warning related to some ancient and deadly Mesopotamian plague or some weird recent biological research yet undiscovered in Iraq? McIntosh’s interest in thrillers began in her teen years, reading Perry Mason paperbacks at the cottage. She earned a degree in English from the University of Toronto and worked in the Planning Department of the City of Toronto. She took early retirement 15 years ago to focus on writing. Those of you who enjoy the thriller genre will be glad she did.

Places to explore and things to experience

Gan, a piece of heaven in eastern Ontario

If you’d like to explore Gananoque and Thousand Island history, make sure to spend some time at the Arthur Child Heritage Museum of the Thousand Islands (1000islandsheritagemuseum.com) at 125 Water Street, along the waterfront. Permanent exhibits examine the ecology of the region, First Nations contributions, folk heroes, the 1000 Islands Golden Era and a bit of rum-running. The newest permanent exhibit is The Wheelhouse, a fully interactive experience set in the building’s tower. Special exhibits this year include a history of photography through the works and memorabilia of Lorne Prosser (until Oct. 31); Remembering WWI: The 100th Anniversary (until Sept. 5); and Threadworks 2013: Water (until Oct. 31), an exhibition of needle art. At the western end of King Street East, beside the tourist information centre, there’s an art park worth visiting. Known as Confederation Sculpture Park, it’s a gorgeous and somehow mysterious location. It’s Canada’s largest outdoor gallery, located on the shores of the Gananoque River. I’ve visited many times and am always in awe of this nature-based art gallery. This little town has more than its share of attractions. I’ve only touched on a few highlights. Have fun exploring.

Daytripper - From my favorite Chinese restaurant guarded by a dragon to a gorgeous outdoor art park, Gananoque is a great place to visit during any season. Add in things like the Thousand Islands Playhouse, the Arthur Child Heritage Museum, Panache Bakery and All About Books and any visit is a reward. The dragon, at 790 King Street East, guards the east end of the town. Specifically, it protects the most amazing Chinese restaurant you’ll find: The House of Dragon. The Chinese dragon is revered as a powerful and benevolent being that controls the waters of the world and wards off evil spirits. It offers protection and brings good luck. This dragon also appears to bring delicious food that’s based on the freshest and healthiest of ingredients. Simon Leung, the owner, came to Canada with his family in the 1970s. In 1990 he opened his own restaurant in Gananoque. It was a lovely little spot on the main street, but there was no parking and it became so popular that it couldn’t hold all the people who wanted to eat there. House of Dragon moved eastward along the same street, and now it’s at a lovely big location with ample parking and seating. Whenever I’m in Gan, I drop in to House of Dragon. You simply won’t find fresher or tastier food. They have an à la carte menu, but I’ve never gotten beyond the magnificent buffet. The food is featured in containers that are not huge, so staff members are constantly restocking them with fresh supplies. If you want friendly, tasty and clean, this is the place to visit. In the centre of town, at 162 King Street East, you’ll find Panaché Bakery and Café (panachebakery.net), a wonderful home-style eatery where you can pick up the best bread around— and something from their ample selection of baked goods—to take home. In their café, they also offer homemade soup, sandwiches, quiche and chili. Nearby, at 126 King Street East, is All About Books Internet Cafe (aabooks.ca), owned by book aficionado Deb Savoy. It’s a spot where it’s easy to linger for endless moments. There are a lot of books in there—more than 100,000—and it’s a kid-friendly and welcoming shop. You can also relax and sip on fair trade tea and java. If you want to do something besides eat, drink and read, the Thousand Islands Playhouse has a superb lineup this year. The Playhouse opened its season with Driving Miss Daisy (until June 14) in the Springer Theatre. It’s described as a comedy of unlikely friendship. It’s also a deep social commentary on changes through the mid-20th century as an elderly Jewish woman hires a black chauffeur who becomes a loving friend over 25 years of service. It’s a touching story about prejudice, change and friendship. When the Playhouse hosts Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest from July 25 through August 23 in Springer Theatre, laughs are guaranteed. If you’re not familiar with the classic script, two wealthy men, Jack and Algernon, lead a double existence. Everyday life is, after all, dull, so they spice things up. They each decide to use an identical alias, Ernest, to charm women. Needless to say, it’s a breeding ground for chaos and hilarious banter. The play, which has been described as one of the funniest in the English language, reunites Boeing Boeing director Daryl Cloran with cast members Brett Christopher, Tess Degenstein, Alison Deon and Kirk Smith. Also performing are Martha Irving, Deb Drakeford, Ian D. Clark and Jody Richardson. Educating Rita runs from Sept. 26 to Oct. 18 in Springer Theatre. Working class and shooting from the hip, Rita enrolls in university night classes in order to change her life. Her professor is a burned out poet who is admittedly

an appalling teacher of appalling students. To make some extra funds, he agrees to tutor Rita. Little does he know that she will change his life to a greater extent than he changes hers. Rita and her professor each turn out to be a student and teacher of one another. This two-hander features Blair Williams and Charlotte Gowdy, who is the director who crafted the Playhouse’s Young Company production of Bird Brain as well as Theatre Kingston’s Red. You can see Marius von Mayenburg’s The Ugly One (translated by Maja Zade) from August 15 through September 20 in the Firehall Theatre. This play comes with an advisory of sexy and provocative content, so don’t plan a day with the kids. We live in a world where image is idealized and the facade of individuality is worshipped. In this world obsessed with beauty, an unspeakably ugly man, Lette, turns to plastic surgery. The successful engineer ends up looking like Adonis, the god of beauty and desire. Suddenly women want him; they lust after him. Men envy him. But there’s a problem. The surgeon offers the same face and image to anyone willing to pay. So much for individuality. Lette’s dream becomes a nightmare. There’s no uniqueness when everyone wants to look the same. The cast includes Hardee T Lineham, Jesse Dwyre, Alex Poch Goldin and, direct from her leading role on stage in New York in Ethel Sings, Tracy Michailidis. For a full list of Playhouse productions, check out their website at 1000islandsplayhouse.com.

Special bee badge has Cubs buzzing hpratt-campbell@perfrint.ca

Heritage News - Did you know that over the course of its entire lifetime, a bee will fly a distance equivalent to that from the earth to the moon and back? Or that members of a hive will collectively fly this far in a mere day? These are just a few interesting facts members of the First Bayridge and First Verona Cub packs had the opportunity to learn as they earned a very special badge this spring thanks to area leaders Greg Hounsell and Gord Campbell, who are also beekeepers for Seldom Fools Apiary. On May 11, the Cubs gathered at Campbell’s home in Harrowsmith for a special hands-on lesson about bees that earned them a ‘pack specialty badge’, something that signifies a unique pack project that all of the children work on together; more important, they learned valuable lessons about nature, the importance of bees and where our food comes from. “It helps them to learn a little bit more about food and agriculture and farming,” explained Hounsell. “Honey that we see on the shelves - where does it come from? That connection is made.” The kids also gained an understanding of the serious problems bee populations face due to the use of pesticides and disease. “Bees have a very weak immune system, so they’re kind of like a canary in a coal mine,” Hounsell said. “They will

show signs of problems and stress and other things that are going on sooner than other animals that are out there.” And, the Cubs saw what remarkable feats bees can accomplish when they work together as a team. “I learned that the soldiers bees protect the nest from wasps,” said 11-year-old John Lyons. “And that mice can break through to the nest and eat the honey until the bees take care of him.” Josh admitted that he wasn’t accustomed to being around bees and was a bit hesitant at first at the prospect of being surrounded by hundreds of the stinging insects. “I was a little nervous, but [we learned that] bees are good. They help plants pollinate so they’ll stay alive and give us food.” Overall, Hounsell said he was very pleased with how the Cubs responded to the exercise. “We’ve got some that are very nervous about it because bees are stinging insects and you grow up learning ‘avoid stinging insects’. But there’s a curiosity and there are questions in there. As they start getting more involved in watching and listening and actually coming up and seeing them, then they start to learn and become more relaxed and start to appreciate it and some of them even come to love it and can’t get enough of it.” More than anything, Hounsell hoped that the boys took away an appreciation for nature and for the amazing things that bees

Young artist finds success returning home to Kingston for Juried Art Salon By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Heritage News - Michelle MacKinnon is no stranger to success when it comes to the Kingston Arts Council’s Juried Art Salon. Two years ago, she won the emerging artist award when she entered a piece in the event. This year, she was even more successful, taking the grand prize for her portrait entitled “Jessica” at a ceremony held May 8. “I think that there is something very honouring and humbling about having the town that you grew up in validate your work,” says MacKinnon, who grew up in Kingston but currently lives in Toronto. “Especially because I’ve applied to this prize before and won emerging artist. I’ve been able to come back two years later and apply again with work that I feel has shown a lot of personal growth. Having it win grand prize this year feels very self-validating, to know that I’ve progressed in these two years.” MacKinnon is currently working toward a master’s degree in fine art at York University; she credits her success to local teacher Karen Peperkorn, who teaches the creative arts focus program at QECVI. “I work in the medium of powdered graphite, and she was the one who introduced me to that. I don’t think I would have had any other introduction to it if it hadn’t been for her. For most of my classes in my undergrad I would use powered graphite and my profs would be like, [what’s that]? So I completely credit a lot of my artistic abilities to her.” “Jessica” explores the theme of memory and phenomenology; it de-

picts a local woman, Jessica Avery, whom MacKinnon used to work with. The piece was also a finalist for the Kingston Prize, Canada’s national portrait competition, earlier this year. “[“Jessica” was like] the introduction to the works that I’m doing now,” MacKinnon says, explaining that the theme of memory features strongly in her work at the moment. “What I tend to do is I ask my models to recall some sort of memory and express that in their facial expression.” The main difference between “Jessica” and MacKinnon’s current work is that these days she does mostly nudes. In fact, she entered a second piece in the Juried Arts Salon, called “Conjuring Uncanny Comfort”, which depicts two naked women embracing. “That one has a distinct memory attached to it that the two girls in it explained to me and wrote down for me, whereas the one of Jessica was more kind of vague,” she explains. However, the piece was censored by the Kingston Frontenac Public Library, where the Juried Arts Salon took place. “I guess the jury saw it and the feedback I heard from it was they really liked it and wanted it in the show, however the library didn’t want it in there,” MacKinnon says, noting that the situation recalled what happened at the Juried Arts Salon in 2012 when Margaret Sutherland’s nude Stephen Harper painting caused quite the controversy. “I think that it’s a unique situation in Kingston because Kingston doesn’t have a public art gallery,”

MacKinnon says. “They don’t have that sort of setting for artists to just put up whatever they want. I understand with the library, they have a board, they have their community members, and perhaps they don’t wish to see nudity on the walls. I personally disagree with that but I can understand where they’re coming from having to appease their clientele. “A public gallery, I think, would be beneficial to the city in that respect,” she adds. MacKinnon is hopeful that the new Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, opening this summer, will provide this space. Indeed, she notes that Kingston is increasingly becoming an important player on the Canadian arts scene, and has the potential to attract emerging young artists like herself to settle down here. “It won’t be immediately but I could definitely [see myself coming back here],” she says. “It’s a lot more quiet and calm than Toronto is, and it has an amazing bridging arts scene, which is great. It’s only been getting better and stronger over the years and especially with the close ties to Toronto and Montreal. It’s a nice, central location.”

Nursing students show that one act of kindness can lead to many more in this great city By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage News – If you saw a note taped to the windshield of a car, would you stop and take the time to read it? Most of us probably wouldn’t, but luckily, on May 14 a group of students did stop to read a not left by nurse Kerri Tadeu. Their act of kindness created a chain reaction throughout Kingston. Tadeu had parked on Queen’s campus and was on her way to give a lecture at the Theology department when she realized she wouldn’t be able to return to her car at the time her ticket expired to pay for additional time. She faced the dilemma of chancing a parking ticket or giving someone the opportunity to do something kind. She chose the latter. “I wrote a note and taped it to my window along with eight quarters in a zip lock bag,” explained Tadeu. “The note read ‘Dear stranger reading this note, would you be so kind to purchase a parking ticket for me at 3:45 when my meter runs out with the four quarters in this bag? The remaining four quarters are for your kindness. Thanks in advance for making Kingston great.’” Upon returning to her vehicle after the lecture, Tadeu was disappointed to see the note and quarters still there but as she got closer to her car she realized that four quarters were gone and her note had been flipped over and a new message now appeared. “The note read ‘Have a wonderful day, Queen’s Nursing.’ You can imagine my delight,” added Tadeu, a fellow nurse at Providence Care. “This act of kindness was more than saving me a $15 parking ticket. The experience reminded me that the nursing profession is not just a job, it is a way of being.” In an attempt to thank whoever paid her meter, Tadeu posted the note to Facebook and shortly after it went viral. The post received 579 likes and 79 shares in a matter of days. Tadeu then received messag-

es from local businesses wanting to thank these good Kingstonians for making this city great. Tadeu finally tracked down the students and as a gesture of thanks she invited them to a nursing dinner on May 15 at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. They had no idea what they were in for, but they were ecstatic when they heard Tadeu tell the story to the room. Nicole Cragg and Sarah SenykMorrison attended the dinner and accepted their gift basket of over $450 in gift certificates and vouchers. The girls were shocked to receive such an amazing thank you and explained their thought process when they saw the note that day. “My initial thought when I read the note was why wouldn’t I help this person?” said Senyk-Morrison who explained that both girls had just had a particularly grueling nursing shift. “We were coming off of one of the longest shifts we had done in our lives and we saw the note on the car and we were a little early so we decided to wait until 3:45 to get the most of her money.” The girls went into the library and returned later to pay the meter. They even chatted to the meter attendant and asked if he would be kind enough to not ticket the car if the meter expired again. Luckily, he agreed. Days later, the girls saw Tadeu’s post on Facebook and they were overwhelmed by the comments. “When she posted the note on Facebook, we had both had very rough days with some difficult patients and I went home and I questioned nursing, as you do when you have a very rough day,” explained Cragg. “But then I saw the post on Facebook and all of the wonderful comments and it really helped to support my understanding of nursing. The comments really meant a lot to me and made me realize that one hard day in this profession does not discount 100 good days.” Tadeu explained that one person

Students Nicole Cragg (left) and Sarah Senyk-Morrison with their basket of goodies courtesy of local Kingston businesses. Photo/Kerri Tadeu posted a comment saying ‘That is the type of nurse you want working beside you’ and at that point she realized that this story was about way more than just an act of

dinary results. Hopefully every one who reads about this story will be inspired and will carry a ziploc bag with them [to carry out similar acts of kindness].”

Customer Engagement = Customer $

How easy is it for you to select a restaurant that you’d prefer to visit? Would you rather go to a cold, unfriendly business that never remembers your usual preferences, or would you prefer to dine at a venue with a positive atmosphere? Comfort and familiarity translate to consistent visits from the customers that provide each restaurant with revenue. That revenue is the lifeblood of each restaurant, because without it, both restaurants would no longer be in business. This is why proper customer engagement is crucial for every establishment. After all, a convenient business transaction will always trump a forgettable experience. When it comes to businesses in the Kingston area that master the fine art of customer engagement, restaurant fans notably refer to Paradiso Pizza. This pizzeria has been wowing aficionados of the worldly-recognized and highly decorated cheese pie since 1994. http://www.paradisopizza.ca/about/ Their menu isn’t strictly dedicated to pizza, as these Sicilian business owners also offer visitors delicious submarine sandwiches, great-for-the-game chicken wings, juicy hamburgers, and many other fine selec-

tions (yes, even authentic Italian ice cream!) Most impressive of all is that Paradiso Pizza https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paradiso-PizzaSubs/177857858934292is not a franchise like many other successful restaurants. For 19 years, visitors within Kingston and even tourists have been coming back for some of the signature slices of pizza that this Italian eatery makes fresh daily. What makes this restaurant so memorable? Besides their signature menu offerings (Paradiso Pizza’s 21-inch Jumbo pizza is known as the largest pizza size available in Kingston,) the staff of this family-owned business regularly engages each visitor. They remember you, the customer, and offer an experience that will encourage you to come back for more of their tantalizing menu selections. Paradiso Pizza even has their “regulars”, customers that have developed into friends of the family that runs this successful establishment.
