Kiwala ready to roll up her sleeves and get to work at Queen’s Park

By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

The people of Kingston and the Islands opted to keep their little red riding June 12, electing Liberal Sophie Kiwala as member of provincial parliament. It was a clear victory for Kiwala, who received a total of 20,833 votes. New Democrat Mary Rita Holland was the closest runner-up with 14,811 votes, followed by Conservative Mark Bain with 10,645, Green Party candidate Robert Kiley with 3,561 and Freedom Party candidate Jonathan Reid with 241. Kiwala will join a new Liberal majority government at Queen’s Park, led by Premier Kathleen Wynne. “I’m absolutely ecstatic,” Kiwala

said after receiving news of her victory. She noted that despite the fact that Kingston and the Islands is considered by many to be a Liberal stronghold, she didn’t take anything for granted. “When we saw the results come in I insisted on having a look and waiting to see the results flow through another time [before celebrating],” she laughed. “I just really needed to be sure that there was no mistake.” Kiwala noted that as a first time candidate, it felt a little strange to see her name on signs all over the city, and that she’s happy all the hard work paid off so she can get down to work on what she’s truly passionate about. “I’m not somebody who is very egotistical - I’m generally quite quiet

and reserved. So to see my name out there was a little bit of a shock and now that it’s happened I’m just really excited about getting to work and looking at all the different areas that we might be able to make improvements and move forward.” Kiwala believes that it was her proven history of honest hard work at the constituency offices of MPs Peter Milliken and Ted Hsu that gave her the edge over her opponents. “There were some great candidates for sure,” she said. “I think that not being overly partisan [helped]. When you work in a constituency office you are there for the people. You don’t have any partisan politics going on in an office like that, you’re just there for the old fashioned reasons of pub-

lic service.” While she admitted that she will obviously need to abide by party policies as MPP, Kiwala has full confidence in the new majority Liberal government. “This is a party that is progressive. We can see that in the budget and they’re very interested in looking after people. They’re there to help people and that echoes my values totally.” Kiwala enters the role with a glowing endorsement from outgoing MPP John Gerretsen, who represented the Kingston area for nearly 40 years at both municipal and provincial levels. “I think Sophie’s a tremendous

Fundraiser to help fight school closure decision By Mandy Marciniak

mmarciniak@theheritageemc.ca

Heritage Events – A new school may have been announced, but community members who want to save KCVI and QECVI aren’t giving up anytime soon. After a public meeting last month, organizers for the Save Kingston City Schools and Save KCVI groups decided to hold a fundraiser to help their cause move forward. “We are all still really committed and we don’t want to give up,” explained organizing committee member Christine Sypnowich. “We want to pursue litigation because not only is the outcome a terrible result for the city of Kingston, but we think the whole process of reaching that conclusion was full of procedural errors. We are bringing a lawsuit forward and that of course is very expensive.” Sypnowich is the parent of two former KCVI students and feels that the closure of the school will negatively impact the city as a whole. “I care about this issue because I think a downtown high school is vital to the success and prosperity of the downtown. KCVI is so rich in history and is the oldest high school in Ontario with all kinds of interesting people having walked its hallways,” added Sypnowich, noting that the high school is also very academically successful. “I just thought that it was unthinkable that it was going to be closed and I also think that the other high schools in the area should be preserved too.” While the battle to save the schools has

been going on for more than three years now, Sypnowich is confident that their voices will be heard; in an effort to make them even louder, a fundraiser is being held on June 25 at St. George’s Cathedral and will feature musical performances from Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair, Paul Langlois, Deanna Choi and a number of KCVI students. The event will also feature a silent auction and numerous door prizes. Sypnowich has been overwhelmed by the community support for the event thus far and she hopes it will be a great evening. “We have received tremendous support from downtown businesses in terms of monetary donations, food donations for the event and gift certificates and prize donations for the silent auction,” added Sypnowich, “There is a lot of positive energy. We also had an anonymous donor make a large contribution to pay for tickets for people who can’t afford their own tickets. It is really incredible to see that level of support.” Sypnowich knows that there is still a lot to be done, but she hopes that the fundraiser will generate even more interest in the community and hopefully more support, too. “I think it is going to be a wonderful evening and it is also a wonderful and very important cause for our community. Anyone who is interested should come check it out.” The Save KCVI fundraiser is being held on June 25 at 7 p.m. in St. George’s Cathedral. Tickets ($100 each) can be purchased and/or a donation can be made at w w w. s a v e k i n g s t o n c i t y s c h o o l s . com or soskcvi.ca

Trash talk: Kingston takes steps to improve cleanliness of its downtown Reporter

Kingston Heritage – Next to parking, the issue of cleanliness may be the second most common complaint that’s made about Kingston’s downtown. Councillors agree further steps are needed to address the ongoing problem. “This has been something that keeps cropping up over the last three or four years,” said Coun. Rob Hutchison, whose district includes the downtown area. “I’m really happy to see the emphasis on cleanliness here.” He was reacting to a new report from the public works department. City officials say that while downtown businesses and property owners have a role to play in keeping the streets clear of garbage and removing graffiti from private buildings, they are ready to “refocus” their maintenance schedule to keep the downtown attractive to shoppers and visitors. They are currently working with the Downtown Kingston Business Improvement Area (BIA) on a longterm maintenance plan for the streets and sidewalks, which is expected to be unveiled to council in August or September. “By far, the garbage situation is the biggest problem we’re trying to deal with. It is a work in progress,

but it will be an enhanced focus,” explained chief administrator Gerard Hunt. In the meantime, the city is taking immediate action to work on keeping the streets tidy through the summer months by having extra staff patrolling the downtown during the afternoon and overnight hours to empty overflowing trash containers and clean-up sidewalks around many of the bars and restaurants. “We need to increase the frequency and be more mindful of special events or days of the week, and tailor our collection to when more trash is generated,” said public works director Damon Wells. The city is also spending $200,000 to purchase an additional street sweeper/vacuum machine that will be dedicated to cleaning debris off downtown streets and sidewalks. He says a longer term solution may be to implement faster and more frequent collection of commercial and residential garbage bags, and to remove garbage stains from sidewalks. Downtown trash is currently put out every Monday night for a Tuesday morning pick-up, and that leaves it exposed to the weather, vandalism, rodents and birds for 8 to 10 hours. During that time garbage bags are often ripped open and blue boxes tipped over, transforming the waste into litter strewn

along downtown streets. Wells says there’s no easy solution. “Whether it’s at different times of the day or multiple collections - that’s going to take time to sort that out.” Hunt says the immediate service improvements can be funded within the existing 2014 budget. “At the moment we can deal with that without impacting other services.” However, he says the long-term solutions may require a larger tax commitment to public works, noting the final recommendations could increase the city’s budget in 2015. Officials also hinted that bylaw enforcement will form part of the long-term cleanliness standards that are being developed through stakeholder consultation, including a crackdown on owners of vacant storefronts, to ensure the sidewalks are kept clean of trash and snow. Doug Ritchie, managing director of the BIA, applauds the objectives and pledges to work with the city to clean up the downtown’s image. “We are ready to do more and we are ready to encourage our member businesses to do more.” He says garbage and graffiti can “destroy the attractiveness of new sidewalks, pavers and planters” that the city recently installed on lower Princess Street as part of the ‘big dig’ work. On a related matter, Coun.

Hutchison complained the Hollywood movie that was shot around King Street in early April left a dirty residue on the streets, sidewalks and Market Square that was never fully cleaned up. The film shoot required dumping tons of earth onto the asphalt and brick work to rec-

reate an early 1900s look. “It was a great thing but it seems to me the residual dirt is still there. The streets aren’t quite as clean as they were before the film.” Hunt says the city’s film policy allows for full clean up cost recovery from the production company.

choice,” Gerretsen said, admitting that “it’s tough to run on a government record, especially when they’ve made some mistakes - the gas plant decision and things like that - and to still come out a winner.” Gerretsen added that “I’m very pleased for her but I’m even more pleased for the people that need government, the vulnerable in our society, the young and the old and the people who need help. They [need] a representative like Sophie because she speaks very eloquently about those issues and I know that she will make a difference at Queen’s Park to better the lives of those individuals.” The evening was bittersweet for runner-up Mary Rita Holland, whose party (NDP) has seen a steady increase in support in Kingston and the Islands over

the past few elections. “I think it does feel like a victory, not just because we built our support and not just because of the numbers but because of how much passion everybody felt along the way,” Holland said. “Based on the support that we felt and the momentum that we had we thought we had a really good chance.” Holland said it was exciting to see all the new support in the community. “We had people who haven’t voted NDP before in their lives… who were voting not for the party necessarily but for me and the campaign because they felt we’d done a really good job. That’s very rewarding but it also makes it a bit hard because I just would have loved to give them what they wanted.”

Sol-Luce Energy Project Community Liaison Committee

R0012758562

By Bill Hutchins

About the Project

The Sol-Luce Kingston Solar PV Energy Project (Sol-Luce Energy Project) is a 100-megawatt solar photovoltaic power development located in the City of Kingston and Loyalist Township. The project is being developed by Kingston Solar GP on behalf of Kingston Solar LP (Kingston Solar), which obtained approval from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) to build a Class 3 Solar facility in April, 2014.

Community Involvement

Good planning includes the involvement of the community as a key partner. Kingston Solar is establishing a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) to discuss the important aspects of construction, installation, use, operation, maintenance and retirement of the Sol-Luce Energy Project. This committee is a requirement of Kingston Solar’s Renewable Energy Approval (REA) and will serve as a forum for the community to share ideas, express concerns and to receive ongoing updates about the Sol-Luce Energy Project. An independent, third-party facilitator from AECOM has been retained to facilitate the Sol-Luce Energy Project Community Liaison Committee meetings. To learn more about the Sol-Luce Energy Project and/or to download an application form please visit: www.samsungrenewableenergy.ca/kingston To join the committee or for more information, please contact Mark van der Woerd of AECOM by July 9th, 2014 so that he can speak with you about your interest and confirm next steps. Mark van der Woerd (Facilitator) Phone: 905.390.2003 Email: mark.vanderwoerd@aecom.com

How to Get Involved

The committee for the Sol-Luce Energy Project is expected to consist of up to 14 people with membership drawn from a cross-section of the community in order to provide a broad and balanced perspective. Individuals from the following groups are intended to represent this Committee: • Local Landowners; • Residents within 1 km of the Project; • Representatives from Aboriginal communities; • Members of the agriculture community; • Business / industry representatives; • Local social and environment organizations; and, • Representatives from local government agencies.

Each committee meeting will be open to the public so that the community can participate by observing. Requests for delegations at meetings can be requested prior to each meeting by contacting the committee facilitator. The Sol-Luce Energy Project CLC is expected to meet at least four times over a two year period. The first CLC meeting is expected to be held mid-August, 2014. The CLC meetings will be held at a time and location that is convenient to most members. Committee members will be encouraged to share any information the results of all CLC discussions with other interested members of the community.

Ottawa’s waterfront land sale could open door to private development Bill Hutchins City Reporter editorial@theheritageemc.ca

Kingston Heritage Editorial – The federal government isn’t dithering around any longer when it comes to unloading some of its prized waterfront real estate in Kingston. If the city won’t buy it, then the private sector most certainly will. That’s the tone that emerged from a blunt staff report on the status of federal land divestitures in Kingston. This report concerns the fate of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes and its long-leased land. Current and previous councils have had a rocky history of engaging in fruitless talks to acquire federal waterfront lands. In addition to the marine museum, future ownership of Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and the LaSalle Causeway

have also been discussed. Each time, the city has walked away from the table because Ottawa apparently wanted to sell its property for a token amount but with no additional maintenance grants. There used to be a joke that the city could buy the causeway for $1 but still wouldn’t touch it because the annual maintenance costs to taxpayers would be in the millions. Now, it seems federal negotiators aren’t bluffing anymore when it comes to the fate of the museum property, historic dry dock and two wharfs that encompass 1.8 hectares at 55 Ontario Street. The push turned into a push-back. Council’s response was swift and nearly unanimous in flatly rejecting a final purchase offer, fearing it could saddle taxpayers with about $20 million in site remediation and repairs. In fact, parts of the crumbling dock space are in such bad shape that they’ve been condemned and closed to the public. So it appears the feds will turn

their attention to finding a willing buyer from the private sector who can clean up and develop the site at their own cost. That puts the nearly 40-year-old non-profit museum in a precarious position. Not only is the land being sold from underneath them, but their own lease is set to expire at the end of 2014. “It’s very bracing to have a federal bureaucrat telling you that you should be thinking about vacating the premises at the end of 2014,” said Chris West, chair of the museum’s board. But rather than flounder in misery, the museum views the ownership question as a potential opportunity. It’s already meeting with unspecified developers who have the financial backing to possibly develop the land while leaving the museum in its current location. There are many bureaucratic hoops to jump through before that day ever happens, not the least of which is convincing Ottawa to extend the lease for another year so

the museum and its backers can complete due diligence studies to assess the condition of the land and whether it’s worth buying. “They’ve got the finances. We’ve got the site, potentially,” said West. There’s no guarantee the museum and its mystery backers will be given first dibs on the property. But it’s a chance the museum can’t afford to pass up. So what’s in it for the developer? How about access to prime land to construct lakeside residential buildings and collect revenues from the restoration of the downtown area’s last deep water dock? Cruise ships are said to be eager to make Kingston a regular port of call once the concrete docks are fixed up. That would be a real boon to the downtown’s economy as tourists would literally arrive by the boatload. City Hall could also cash in once the crown land is removed from tax-exempt status. A “win-win-win” is how West is

spinning the issue. Even though the city is formally out of the ownership talks, councillors agreed to provide municipal expertise to the museum’s board to help launch its vision. The museum, which houses one of the largest collections of Great Lakes artifacts in Canada, not to mention having the keys to the retired Coast Guard’s ‘Alexander Henry’ ship parked out front, can’t afford to sit idle. And while this scenario may yield a positive outcome, the city can’t help but be nervous over Ottawa’s next target for the divestiture of assets. Will the LaSalle Causeway be privatized as a toll road? Will sections of Portsmouth Olympic Harbour or the mothballed Kingston Penitentiary become a condo paradise? If Ottawa continues its hardball talks, and the city continues to resist purchase offers, someone else will probably be more than eager to buy this land with a view to a real estate kill.

editorial

My brief foray back into the food service industry Hollie Pratt-Campbell Asst. Editor

@hollieprattcamp

Kingston Heritage Editorial Last week, my colleagues Mandy, Sherri and I spent a couple of hours volunteering at Tim Horton’s for Camp Day and it got me thinking about my various full and part-time jobs of yore. “I’m counting on you to make us look good,” I said to Mandy before we headed over. Mandy spent almost a decade as a Starbucks barista, whereas I lasted about two weeks at Wendy’s before quitting because it was too hard. I’d get flustered taking orders, angering customers. My lower back constantly ached from all the standing. Plus, for a non-meat eater, returning home every day smelling like greasy beef was nothing short of revolting. At the time, quitting was a bold move. I was a university student living in Ottawa and the summer was when I was supposed to be out making money. My French was not great, which made it difficult for me to find any job in the National Capital Region. Thankfully, a kind

woman who managed Mastermark Pewter at the St. Laurent Mall took a chance on me and I was gainfully employed within weeks. I quite liked working at the pewter store. Customers were usually in a cheerful mood and I became an expert gift wrapper, a skill that still comes in handy today. I held a string of other jobs over my student years – from day camp counselor to City of Kingston parking coupon distributor to military base housing admin assistant. Most were boring but reasonably bearable and I think it’s safe to say that nothing, not even my two awful weeks at Wendy’s, prepared me for what I experienced when I finished my master’s and ventured out into the “real” world of work. I was ecstatic to be returning to my hometown so Steve could attend teacher’s college at Queen’s, and even happier when my experience in military housing landed me a job with a local housing company. Unfortunately, this was also where I encountered my first (and thus far only) real conflict with a boss. The experience was a shock, as I was rather used to people – especially authority-type figures – liking me. I was sweet and good-natured and admittedly a bit of a daydreamer. Looking back, I can see that this woman had a difficult life and

thus probably resented all of those things about me, especially the third, which caused me to come off as absent-minded and occasionally incompetent. After about six months of hell I decided it wasn’t going to get any better and started applying for every job I saw advertised. Two months later, I was working in the records warehouse at Empire Life, spending my days scanning documents and returning files to their appropriate locations. It’s harder than it sounds, as there are literally millions of files in that warehouse. Still, the job wasn’t awful. I liked my co-workers, I got to listen to my iPod all day long and there was something rather pleasing about the order and monotony of it all. When my year-long contract was up, they offered me a full-time job, which I didn’t take. I knew this wasn’t what I wanted, and for the first time in my life, I decided to take some metime to do some soul searching and figure out what exactly I was going to do with my life. A month later, I got a call from Lynn Lambert. She wanted to know if I was interested in freelancing for my current paper’s competitor. My answer: YES!!! Suddenly, I found myself in the editorial business. All I had to do was ask people thoughtful questions and write up their answers in interesting ways. It all came a whole lot more easily to me than taking people’s orders, operating cash registers and keeping lists of things up-to-date and organized. Still, I quite enjoyed my little trip down memory lane at Tim Horton’s. Though I was exhausted by the time the two hours were over, it was all for a great cause and it filled me with a renewed appreciation not only for my own job, but also for the hard work the people there do every day. Some were obviously seasoned veterans – efficient, precise. Others reminded me more of myself – messing up orders, not really cut out for that style of work. “It gets better,” I wanted to say to them. “Someday, you will arrive at where you need to be.”

In Our Opinion

Celebrate the Solstice Time flies when the weather is good and it’s hard to believe it is already the middle of June. This time of year is filled with warmer temperatures, lots of activities and longer days. The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and this year that occurs on June 21 at 6:51 a.m. On this day, the sun seems to last forever; in fact, the word “solstice” is from the Latin word solstitium, which literally translates to “sun stands still.” The downside to all of this is that every day that follows the solstice is shorter and we slowly lose daylight until the winter solstice occurs, but let’s not think about that. Let’s focus on how summer solstice is celebrated around the world. In northern European countries such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway, the summer solstice (or midsummer, as it’s often called) is referred to as the day that never ends. It’s celebrated with bonfires, outdoor festivals, singing, dancing and food. For thousands of years, the summer solstice has been worshipped and celebrated at Stonehenge near Salisbury, England. Today, thousands gather at the sacred site to greet the rising sun on the longest day of the year. Throughout the night, people play music, perform rituals and party until dawn. The summer solstice was especially important for the ancient Egyptians since it signaled the annual flooding of the Nile River. To keep track of the day, the pyramids were built so that the solstice sunset fell exactly between two of them when viewed from the Great Sphinx. While Canadians don’t have any specific traditions to go along with summer solstice, we still celebrate and acknowledge the day. Why not create your own tradition? Maybe designate the summer solstice as a day when you pick flowers or get up to watch the sunrise or take a family hike. Whatever you do, just remember to celebrate those extra few hours of sunlight. You may need the memory of them later to get through the winter!

New summer camp hopes to fill a gap in local youth theatre programming By Hollie Pratt-Campbell Hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Kingston Heritage News - Katie McDonald has been an active member of the Kingston theatre scene since the age of five, and she has many fond memories of participating in the youth theatre programs that were offered. But the UTM Sheridan student in theatre and drama studies was disheartened to see so many of these programs die off over the years. “We had programs like SlackWood and Just for the Love of It,” she recalls. “None of those programs exist anymore. It makes me mad because these kids don’t have the same opportunities we had.” That’s why McDonald has teamed up with her partner in business and in life, Jackson Watt-Bowers, to make theatre come alive again for local children through a new summer camp called The Youth Playhouse. The two met when they both attended the Theatre Complete focus

program at QECVI, and quickly found that they share a love of theatre. “I’ve always been passionate about theatre,” McDonald says. “It’s such an evolutionary force and it’s very human. For kids especially, I think it’s something that encourages them to socially interact with their friends, and drama and being involved in the arts boosts your math skills, your reading skills and your confidence.” The Youth Playhouse will run from July 14 - Aug. 29, and is aimed at children aged 7 - 12. Each session will run for two weeks; the first will focus on skills such as clowning, mime, acting singing and dancing, and the second will be spent preparing a cabaret-style show where each child will have the opportunity to take a lead role in one scene and participate in several other ensembles. Parents, siblings and friends will be invited to attend the final production. “It’s a great opportunity for

kids, and it’s important to get into it at an early age,” says WattBowers, who will also be attending Sheridan for theatre and drama studies in September. He notes that he wishes he had discovered his calling at an earlier age. “I found out at the last moment that this is something you can really pursue and really do with your life. I feel like if a child knows that at an earlier age they’ll be more prepared.” The two are excited to get the program started, and hope to add a stronger youth voice to the local theatre community in Kingston. “It’s called The Youth Playhouse and the ages are 7 - 12, but we’re also only 19 and our friends are going into theatre now too,” McDonald says. “We’re hoping to [connect young people who are interested in theatre] so that our voices can be heard within the community.” For the moment, however, they are focusing on having a strong first year for the camp, as they hope it will continue for many

years to come. “We’re hoping for as many people as we can get but we came into this knowing that the first year we do it won’t be as successful as years to come,” Watt-Bowers says. “We’re just trying to get the word out there and get people to know the name. Then when next summer rolls around people

will say, ‘oh that camp, I heard good things about it. We can do that this year.’” For more information on The Youth Playhouse and how to register your child, visit www. theyouthplayhouse.wix.com. You can also find them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter at @ YouthPlayhouse.

“The OMB can be dangerous for either side. You may lose everything,” said Coun. Scott, who noted the board could allow taller buildings or enforce a 1979 ruling. The OMB dealt with the same issue in 1979 and imposed a six-storey limit on future buildings, yet the proposal before council is more than double the height. However, Coun. Scott says a lot has changed in the 35 years since the initial height ruling. “The city has amalgamated and there’s a new Official Plan that encourages intensification and the use of existing infrastructure. The world has changed since 1979.” The changes include the quality of the buildings. Homestead’s three apartments are comparable to its recent building on Barrett Court in the city’s east end, Scott explained. But just to make sure the building features are of high quality, council will be asked to ‘bump up’ the site plan approval to the planning committee instead of leaving it in the hands of city managers. That would give politicians a direct say on final details of the building design, location and surrounding vegetation. “It will give us input into things like landscaping, how many trees are on site, placement of the buildings, entranceways and loading spaces,” Coun. Scott explained. He says councillors and city officials have had extensive talks with the cemetery board on the revised plans, adding: “It’s the best we could do.” Purdy’s Mill subdivision will also include 50 single family homes, park space and a small commercial mall near the main entrance on the northwest corner of Old Mill Road and John Counter Boulevard, across the road from the Via train station.

Kingston Heritage – Three high-rise apartment buildings planned along the eastern border of historic Cataraqui Cemetery have cleared a major political hurdle. The city’s planning committee voted to endorse the latest phase of the 67-hectare Purdy’s Mill subdivision by Homestead Land Holdings. The rezoning application headed to city council June 17 for a final vote. “Did we do absolutely everything we could to make it work? I hope so,” said Coun. Jeff Scott, noting the committee’s support of the once-contentious project was unanimous. Councillors have imposed several conditions on the developer in order to minimize the noise and visual impacts on the cemetery neighbours next door. Among the compromise requirements agreed to by Homestead and the city; -locating the 235-unit apartments a minimum of 42 to 65 metres away from the cemetery’s boundary line, -installing a continuous 1.8 metre chain link fence along the subdivision/cemetery boundary line, -constructing a four-metre high berm between the properties with trees and other vegetation, -mostly underground parking for tenants. Coun. Scott says the tall fencing will have no gates and the berm, as high as a typical bungalow, will be thick with vegetation to discourage residents from running, walking their dogs or short-cutting through the 46,000-plot cemetery. “It was a question of how much can we do to make this apartment project have as little impact as possible.” Homestead’s application is to construct three, 14 storey apartments with a total of 700 residential units in its new subdivision. The developer’s original application to build six 18-20 storey buildings was withdrawn and downsized following a public backlash in 2011. The revised plan is also supported Special pricing on all in-Stock evinrude engineS by the city’s planning department, which says Homestead has met all of the conditions to proceed with urFeatures: ban intensification. • Electric start and Rope start The keepers of the city’s oldest • Power Tilt and Trim • Oil Injection system active graveyard remain skeptical Includes 5 year warranty.

Kingston Heritage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Last Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice storm may seem like a distant memory, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still fresh in the minds of city officials seeking compensation. The province has announced a onetime funding program to assist municipalities with ice storm response and recovery costs. Kingston city council intends to meet a June 16 deadline to express interest in applying for relief funding even though the final amount hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been determined yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preliminary estimates of incremental costs with respect to the ice storm were in the range of $250,000. However, subsequent clean-up costs in early 2014 have yet to be compiled,â&#x20AC;? according to treasurer Desiree Kennedy. The city can count ice storm clean-up expenses up until mid-June, or six months after the brutal storm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no fixed amount being made available to each municipality,â&#x20AC;? said Kennedy, adding compensation will be based on the impact of the storm and eligible claims. But the program wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compensate homeowners for the extra costs they have incurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just for public areas. Any private property costs would not be covered under this program,â&#x20AC;? Kennedy explained. Municipal costs that can be recovered under the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice Storm Assistance Program for emergency response and recovery include clearing ice from sidewalks and debris clean-up to protect public health and safety. While the icy blast was nowhere near the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;state of emergencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;devastation caused by the ice storm in 1998, it did cause extensive property damage around the city as dozens of tree branches and power lines were toppled during three straight days of freezing rain between December 20-22, 2013. Thousands of people were left without power. City crews spent weeks collect-

No matter how Kingstonians vote in this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino referendum one thing is almost certain: there will be no gambling facility in the downtown area. Councillors have told staff to finish amending the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Official Plan to formally exclude a casino from Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central business district. The changes should be ready for council to approve by mid-July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should allow staff to complete the process,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Jim Neill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The referendum hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t altered that direction.â&#x20AC;? Casino opponents were successful in getting a question placed on the ballot in the October municipal election asking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you in favour of a casino in Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Yes or No. But the city will decide months in advance to keep the downtown out of the game. Councillors say the downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exclusion must be made clear to any casino developers whether the referendum results are binding or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to protect the wishes of this council, to protect the downtown,â&#x20AC;? agreed Coun. Dorothy Hector, who favours hosting a casino. Political and community opponents would rather keep a gambling facility out of Kingston altogether, but they at least want to remove any doubt about building one in the downtown. The Official Plan, the blueprint for municipal development, will be changed to only allow gambling in acceptable areas of the city, such as along the Highway 401 corridor. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is still months away from naming a private company to search for suitable sites to own and operate one resort-style casino in the KingstonGananoque area. It can be much larger than the Thousand Islands Casino.

Queen’s women’s hockey adds four Reporter

Kingston Heritage Sports - Last season’s heartbreaking loss to the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks in the OUA Women’s Hockey Championship should give the Gaels’ returning women all the motivation they need for next season. After all, losing a championship at any level leaves an unfinished taste in any athlete’s mouth. For the Gaels, though, they also want to be back in the OUA final for the third season in a row. “Our goal is to be one of the top four teams in the OUA,” said Head Coach Matt Holmberg. “At that point, as long as we can stay healthy, anything can happen.” The Gaels have to do it though, losing three of their top players. Morgan McHaffie was not only the captain, but also the Gaels’ leading scorer. Add her departure to those of starting goaltender Mel Dodd-Moher and defenseman Marlee Fisher and there are some big shoes to fill. Yet Holmberg isn’t worried. This season’s recruiting class is only four players, but these are four players Holmberg thinks can step in and help the team towards their goal. “When we recruit players in, it’s the expectation that they’re going to be on the bench, jersey on the back, participating,” said Holmberg. “If we want to stay near the top we’ve

got to try and recruit in some of the best players in Ontario and across the country and I think we’ve done that.” Last week, the Gaels announced the signing of Addi Halladay of North Augusta, Stephanie Pascal of Sudbury, Amber Sealey of Elora and all around player Fiona Lester of Peterborough. “All four of them are great hockey players,” said Holmberg. “In addition, they’re just great people, and we try to have a tight knit dressing room, bring in players with character that want to have fun but are also ready to work hard, and they all met those qualities.” Halladay has been playing in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League for three seasons, most recently with Nepean. She helped them to a bronze medal this season with 23 goals and 29 assists in 37 games. She knows she can bring another element to the Gaels’ roster: her size. “I know when I’ve come to watch the OUA games, you see a lot of the small girls, the quick girls, but I’m a little different,” said Halladay. “I’m a big girl, and I can use my speed sometimes, but I like getting in front of the net, getting in the messy places, and trying to put that puck in the net.” Coming down from Sudbury, goaltender Pascal has a long history of winning. Pascal is a four-time Ontario Women’s Hockey Association medallist, and wrapped up this

I’m just excited to try to fight for that starting position.” The Gaels also added two players who were unable to attend the signing. Sealey, the younger sister of

Gaels third-year defenseman Alisha, was the captain of her PWHL team in Kitchener-Waterloo. She was one of the top scoring defenseman in that league as well with six goals and 18 assists. “Amber is offensively talented as you can tell by those numbers,” said Holmberg. “But her play in the D-zone is just as impressive. She’s consistent, dependable, she’s extremely calm under pressure, and I could easily be describing her or her sister when I talk about those traits.” The final recruit is one the Gaels know very well. Lester returns to

OUA hockey after taking a season off. Her first four seasons were for the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks. At WLU she was the captain, leading the team to championships in 2010 and 2012. She is also a twotime OUA all-star and four-time Academic All-Canadian. “We know Fiona very well,” said Holmberg. “We are extremely excited to see her bring her experience, leadership, and her skill to the Gaels for her last year of eligibility.” Halladay in enrolled in the Arts program, Pascal and Sealey in engineering, and Lester will be starting her Masters in biostatistics.

Engaging the community in art By Hiba Kesebi Reporter

A scene from last year’s Artfest Kingston.

R0012758632

Kingston Heritage News - With more than 150 artists and artisans travelling to Kingston from across Ontario and Quebec for Artfest Kingston, this year’s four day festival is sure to bring out everyone’s inner artist, said Lory Macdonald, show producer. According to Macdonald the event will feature many opportunities for people to roll up their sleeves and make art – from helping paint an 80 foot mural to making costumes for a unique Canada Day performance. “To me when you are in a festival and you are walking around, you think that is great. But if you actually participate and do things and have experiences - that’s what creates a really unique memory and that lasts a lifetime,” explained Macdonald, who also noted there will be an Artfest Kids activity tent, which features activities specially designed to engage kids. In addition to making art, participants of all ages can enjoy listening to live music. “One of the most exciting Artfest Kingston programming features for this year is the music,” said Macdonald. “Last year was our first music stage, and our guests all said “more please!” With the support of Celebrate Ontario, which provides provincial grants for new and existing festivals, Artfest Kingston will feature performers on two stages and an ad-

ditional spot situated amongst the arts and crafts section. “There’s something for everyone. It’s really a festival that caters to everyone’s interests,” said Macdonald. For Barb Simard, a fabric artist and Kingston resident, the festival is a time to showcase her work and connect with the community. “It’s a great opportunity for myself and other artists to interact with the public and talk about our art and engage in conversation,” explained Simard, who is also a festival volunteer. As a fabric artist, Simard creates wall art and sculptures from fabric. Simard said doing fabric wall art is a lot like doing a puzzle – only the art scene is from pieces of fabric. “It’s very low tech. All you need are scissors, tweezers, toothpicks and glue,” she noted. Simard has also taken a new interest in fabric sculpture and she is looking forward to showcasing some of her sculptures during the festival. “Artfest Kingston is a great avenue for artists to display their art and for people to learn more about the work that goes into making a piece,” she explained. Artfest Kingston will take place at City Park on the Canada Day weekend, June 28 – July 1, from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Admission to the festival is free.

Enchanté

Enchanting and fascinating people….and their world

Mark Bergin

Lovable creature makes life bearable—the comfort of innocence stuffed bears to become Teddy bears, named in honor of Roosevelt. In 1914, a trapper found an orphaned bear near White River, Ontario, where Canadian Pacific trains made lengthy stopovers. There, they took on coal and water, and horses were watered and allowed to stretch and exercise. During one of those stops, Lieutenant Harry Coleburn, on his way to England, bought the orphaned bear. In those days, it was not uncommon to own a wild animal like a bear. Coleburn, a British citizen, had lived in Toronto and Winnipeg during his teens. He named the bear Winnipeg and took her to England with him. When Coleburn and his unit were deployed to France, he left Winnipeg at the London Zoo for caretaking. After the war, the bear was officially donated to the zoo. She had become a popular attraction and Londoners nicknamed her Winnie. Young visitors were even given rides on the tame bear. On August 12, 1920, Daphne Milne gave birth to Christopher Robin. One year later, Winnie-thePooh, or at least the toy bear who would be given that name, arrived, a gift to Christopher Robin for his first birthday.

By Mark Bergin

He spent much of his early life in a forest before travelling hundreds of thousands of miles. He’s only got a few good friends, but has millions of fans who span several generations. The little fellow has significant connections to Canada and the United States, where he now lives in New York City with his lifelong close friends. Some consider that home, a climate-controlled case, a shrine. Winnie-the-Pooh (Disney dropped the hyphens), a Brit, born early in the 20th century, was spawned from the minds of author Alan Alexander (A. A.) Milne and artist Ernest H. Shepard. The early drawings, oddly, were called decorations. Such a Pooh-like description. On days when this crazy world seems unthinkably harsh, this little bear takes us to a place filled with innocence. He dwells in an existential Nirvana called the Hundred Acre Wood, inspired by Ashdown Forest, at the edge of which the Milne family had a country home and farm. His worldview comprises innocence and the thought “I eat honey (hunny), therefore I am.” At the toughest moments of life or just generally sad times, I turn to Pooh for comfort. I’ll disContinued on page 18 solve the hurt within pages of innocent wonder.

Lovable creature makes life bearable—the comfort of innocence Continued from page 17

Milne played Pooh Sticks on a footbridge over a tributary near their country home. The game involves dropping twigs on one side of a bridge and seeing which one comes out first on the other side. Winnie-the-Pooh’s popularity is easy to understand. Devoid of pretense and, some dare say, being of little brain, the wee bear is accepting of everyone and kind toward all. He has clever ideas that at times dwarf the brilliant thoughts of great philosophers. In essence, he is an unacknowledged muse and a poet. His one fault, and who can blame him, is honey. As for Pooh’s red shirt, he doesn’t wear it in his New York home, but Sheperd did draw Pooh with a shirt in his early sketches. When those drawings first appeared in colour, the shirt was red. The earliest plush doll, created by Agnes Bush long before Disney’s influence, wore a red shirt. It was 1947 when Pooh, along with friends Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga and Tigger left their British homeland. Sadly, Christopher Robin

had already lost Roo somewhere in Ashdown Forest. After visiting New York City, the group spent 10 years touring libraries and department stores in the United States. Fans travelled hundreds of miles to be in the presence of these precious reminders of childhood. After several years, A. A. Milne agreed that the animals should stay at the offices of E. P. Dutton, Milnes’ publisher, in New York. Pooh made one trip back to England for an Ernest H. Shepard exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. He flew V.I.P. class on a British Airways Concorde. In September 1987, Dutton donated Milne’s collection of stuffed toys to the New York Public Library, where they found a permanent home. The New York Times ran a headline noting that Pooh had become a New Yorker. A. A. Milne died in 1956. Winnie-the-Pooh lives on. By 1960, sales of Pooh books had reached millions. In 1961, Walt Disney acquired the exclu-

sive film rights to the Pooh stories. Some purists aren’t pleased with the Disney films. But some people like to gripe at anything. Ann Thwaite, Milne’s biographer, doesn’t agree with naysayers. She thinks Milne would have been pleased with Disney’s work. A new character, Gopher, an animal foreign to England but native to the United States, was added by Walt Disney. Since Pooh’s birth, he has shown up in the strangest of places, including pop songs, books to explain Taoism (the Tao of Pooh, the Te of Pooh) and treatises examining philosophical works by the likes of Plato. I have an embarrassingly large collection of Pooh memorabilia. From music boxes and fine china to Pooh dressed as a pilot, explorer, leprechaun and one of Santa’s elves, Pooh can do anything. He’s my hero. Mark Bergin on Twitter @ markaidanbergin.

That Teddy bear was first called Edward the Bear. The young Christopher Robin later renamed him Winnie-thePooh. Christopher Finch, who has written many books on popular culture, including a history of Winnie-the-Pooh, notes that Christopher Robin loved visiting the zoo in London and was even allowed to visit the tame bear in its cage. Christopher Robin named his own Teddy bear after the zoo bear, Winnie. As for the Pooh part, there are two stories. One maintains that it came from a Swan called Pooh. The other story comes from A. A. Milne. “But his arms were so stiff... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think–but I am not sure–that that is why he is always called Pooh.” Finch also says that Christopher Robin’s Teddy bear was not the only source of inspiration for

Shepard’s drawings. Shepard’s son, Graham, had a Teddy bear of his own, of German Steiff company origin, that helped inspire the drawings. Other characters in the Pooh stories were also based on stuffed animals owned by Christopher Robin. Eeyore took on his rather gloomy moods from his appearance. Over time, the toy’s neck became less stiff and Eeyore took on a morose appearance with his droopy head. Piglet was a pincushion that became part of Christopher Robin’s play world. Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo and Tigger were purchased by Alan and Daphne Milne for their son at Harrods toy department in London. Winnie-the-Pooh made his debut by name on Christmas Eve 1925, in a story published in the London Evening News. That story later became the first chapter of the Winnie-the-Pooh book. A popular game—Pooh Sticks— like most other aspects of the stories, had its origins in Christopher Robin’s life. Christopher Robin

Rev. Dr. Andrew Johnston, the pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, is proud of his flock. “I am so pleased with the dynamic of this congregation,” he said. “They think beyond themselves to the common good. We want to do something for our community and help others do something as well.” To that end, St. Andrew’s is hosting a Strawberry Social on June 28 at 2 p.m. Tickets, which are only $5 each, are available by calling the Church office at 613-546-6316. I wouldn’t sit back and hope to drop in on the day of the event. The hall is limited to 90 people. This one is going to sell out. The strawberry social will support a local non-profit organization. “Home Based Housing is a locally-based, generated, supported and effective organization,” said Johnston. “They are exactly the kind of organization that will help grow our city and our humanity.” Home Base Housing develops and maintains affordable housing in our community. The group also works with other agencies and organizations in helping to meet client housing needs. Clients of the organization are diverse. Anyone 16 years old and over who is homeless, at-risk of losing their housing or who exists in an unsafe situation is eligible. Home Base Housing develops safe and affordable housing, emergency shelters and support services for youth, adults and families. The organization’s Supportive

Housing program provides furnished, rent-geared-to-income housing for single adults. They can help chronically homeless individuals find suitable accommodations. Home Base Housing’s Supportive Housing program works with those who are facing life challenges: financial; substance abuse; mental health; developmental disabilities; head injuries; or physical disabilities. Some of their facilities are wheelchair accessible. They also assist with social outings, potluck dinners and community kitchens. Services include advocacy, budgeting, life skills, help with emotional and mental health issues, stress management and social skills. The guest speaker at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church strawberry social will be Mary Cook. You can expect her speech to be fun and informative. “I don’t write a speech,” she said. “Basically, I’m a storyteller. I’m going to reminisce about the 1930s and do a presentation and tell stories of the 30s. I’ll have some 30s artifacts with me.” For more than half a century, Mary has worked as a journalist. In the 1940s, during high school, she started to write for the old Ottawa Journal newspaper. “I bought a $10 camera, rode my bicycle and worked as their stringer.” After she got married and moved to Sarnia, she went to work at the radio station there. She hosted a show called Tea Time with Mary Cook. When her family moved to Windsor, CBC hired her.

ROBERT (BOB) SLACK PRESIDENT DIRECTOR – ONTARIO The Canadian Snowbird Association (CSA) is pleased to announce the election of Robert (Bob) Slack as the association’s president and director for Ontario for the term 2014 – 2017. Mr. Slack has had a long and distinguished career in education. As a teacher, principal and later supervisor of student teachers, he began his teaching career at the Galt Roman Catholic School Board, continued with the Carleton Roman Catholic School Board, and later the State University of New York. During his career in education he was actively involved in the establishment of classes and programs for dependently handicapped students. For over ten years Bob was a presenter of retirement planning workshops for the Ontario Teachers’ Federation. He also served as an educational consultant for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. In addition to a regular teaching career, he was employed as a part-time lecturer at the University of Ottawa as well as served as a municipal councillor for the Township of Goulbourn. A member of the Canadian Snowbird Association, Mr. Slack has been a volunteer with several organizations. He has served in numerous capacities with the Catholic Principals’ Council of Ontario, including two terms as president. A past-president of the Richmond District Lions Club and Richmond Snowrovers Snowmobile Club, he has also been active in minor hockey. Bob Slack and his wife Lois reside in Athens, Ontario. Founded in 1992, the Canadian Snowbird Association is a national not-for-profit advocacy organization dedicated to actively defending and improving the rights and privileges of Canadian travellers.

er costs for the event. Each ticket will also have an envelope attached for a donation to Home Based Housing. And if you’re worried about your diet, have no fears. Rev. Johnston assured me that “Church strawberry socials are considered a charitable event and, like Girl Guide cookies and church bake sales, have a dispensation from calories.” To reserve a spot at the strawberry social, call the church office at 613-546-6316.

She’s written 11 books and is working on another. She hopes to have some of her books with her at the strawberry social. When we spoke last week, she was celebrating her wedding anniversary. “I’ve been married to the same man for 62 years,” she said. “By this point, it’s just another day.” They have three children and five grandchildren. “I’m very active,” she said. “Thank God I have good health, other than the normal aches and pains of aging.” Mary Cook was with CBC for 48 years. Her mandate was to serve as the voice of Eastern Ontario, from the Quebec border to Belleville and North to Algonquin Park. That’s a lot of territory and an equally large number of stories. She’ll no doubt serve up some surprises about our own region. “I absolutely love Kingston,” she said. “I’ve spent many, many days in Kingston learning and telling interesting stories. There is a wealth of human interest stories here. It’s a lovely city and I fell in love with it.” She said her aunt ran The Pickwick Book Shop in Kingston.

Find out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on within your community... Anytime, Anywhere. The Kingston EMC - Thursday, June 19, 2014

Puzzle Page

HOROSCOPES ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 – People seem to be going out of their way to be nice to you, Aries. While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is nothing more than good will.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 – Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up appearances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 – You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a better idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 – Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic attitude this week. You can expect your efforts to produce positive results that don’t go unnoticed.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 – Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of conflict because you want to help. Keep a level head and don’t get swept into the argument.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 – Scorpio, you often feel uncomfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 – It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gemini. You would rather be out having fun, but putting off chores now will only lead to more work down the road.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 – Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 – Sagittarius, the more you ponder the decisions you have to make, the more you struggle to determine a positive outcome. Give yourself some breathing room.

26 The Kingston EMC - Thursday, June 19, 2014

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 – Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 – Aquarius, although everyone around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 – Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pisces. Watch where you step, but don’t let caution take over your life.

Hillier back in the saddle as LFLA MPP By DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Randy Hillier will be returning to Queen’s Park for the third time as MPP of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, though he admitted that his party’s 100,000 job cuts pledge hurt his re-election fight. “I am getting used to being in oppositioAn,” said Hillier, during his election-night victory party speech at Fiddlehead’s Pub in Perth. “I thought I would be on the government side. (But) the people are always right in a democracy.” Raising his glass of beer, he added, “We toast to democracy tonight.” Afterwards, Hillier blamed outgoing party leader Tim Hudak’s 100,000 job cuts pledge for giving him an “uphill battle,” and “causing reluctance,” for some of his previous voters to back him again. He admitted that his majority in the riding was “not as large a majority as last time.” He said that the policy had not been “communicated effectively… (and) it hit close to home.” Speaking just before Hudak announced his

resignation, Hillier, who ran against Hudak for the Progressive Conservative leadership in 2009, said, “I only talk about one election per day,” but added, “I don’t see any leadership runs on the horizon.” Premier Kathleen Wynne was elected as the province’s leader in her own right with a small majority government, bucking the predicted result of a minority government, with the winning party too close to call. Hillier said he was “disappointed (with) the results around the province.” Speaking to supporters, he said, “We held on and we did a marvelous job here…I will represent this riding for another four years. We are going to punch ahead and stand tall. We will hold the Liberals to account.” He thanked his wife Jane for being “the real muscle and brains behind the operation.” Hillier receivedA 43.6 per cent of the vote (21,966) to Liberal Bill MacDonald’s 29.7 per cent (14,957) and New Democrat Dave Parkhill’s 20.3 per cent of the vote (10,207).

Tune-Up Tips

Performance Test Controls and Fan Speeds Radiator and Condensor AC Lines and Fittings

By Christine Henderson

There are various components under the hood and beyond that should be inspected. For starters, make certain to have a general inspection done of the entire vehicle, including the ignition system, tires, and brakes. Also make sure the fluid services are addressed. This is also a good time to replace any worn hoses and drive belts. Few motorists overlook having their engine oil and filter changed. But many neglect to change their other fluids. Brake fluid flushes are important because the fluid can become contaminated and not compress properly over time. Transmission fluid is also important because, much like engine oil, it is designed to keep the inner workings of the transmission lubricated. It breaks down over time, thereby leaving your transmission vulnerable to overheating and failure. If your fluids don’t need to be changed, then ensure they are topped up before heading out.

49 Years of CoMplete autoMotive serviCe The good news is that tune-ups are not needed nearly as often on today’s modern car as they were on carbureted vehicles. While adjustments were once required at least twice yearly, most vehicles only require a minor tune-up once a year. A major tune-up is required every couple of years, depending on how many kilometers you drive yearly. Your technician will be checking things like spark plugs, ignition wires, filters, and timing. Spark plugs and ignition wires are responsible or carrying electricity from the ignition coil to the cylinder. When worn, these parts must be replaces. Wires break down over time, causing electricity to escape.

Most manufacturers now claim that you can drive for 160,000 km before requiring new spark plugs. But other ignition components should be replaced prior to that, including ignition wires, the PCV valve, and the fuel filter. Be sure to check your owner’s manual.

Most vehicles have a fuel filter that needs to be replaced. This is a great time for the fuel injection to be flushed of any carbon particles that may damage or clog the fuel injectors and rail. Fuel injectors work by spraying a fine mist of fuel into the combustion chamber, and can easily become clogged or damaged by carbon. Carbon can gradually build within the engine causing a host of problems. A fuel injection service will flush this carbon from the engine, eliminating potential blockages.

Uncle Lou’s extravagant gift brings tears of joy Mary Cook Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca

handed Mother the box from under his arm. “It’s for the whole family,” he said, but Mother was to open it. Mother sat down on a kitchen chair with the box in her lap. We five children circled around her, and I could feel excitement right down to my toes. She seemed to take forever to untie the strings, and then she peered in the box, and was into the tears again. What she took out of the box almost caused the rest of us to cry along with her. There nestled in mounds of white tissue paper was a brass American Eagle exactly like the one on Uncle Lou’s big black Buick! Only this one was on a pedestal. Emerson, of course, wanted to hold it. But Mother had a death-grasp on it, and she kept rubbing it with the tail of her white apron. Where to put it was the next question. Emerson, never short on ideas thought it could be attached to the hood of the old Model T. The old Model T, missing a door, painted two different colours, and with a rad that had to be opened every few miles to pour in more water! And so it was decided. It would sit on top of the ice box. The new ice box that Grandfather had bought from Barnett’s in Renfrew and now sat kitty-cornered in the kitchen. Audrey was told to take off the geranium plant, give the top a good wipe with a clean dishcloth, and when all that was done, Mother got up and as if she was laying a cornerstone at an historic building, she put the American brass eagle in the very centre of the ice box. Not a word was spoken as we stood there like mutes, admiring this new and wonderful addition to our old log house. There was some discussion about its being put on the twig table in the parlour with the bible, but Audrey pointed out that the parlour was seldom used, and no visitor would ever see it. And so it was decided. The American Eagle, identical to the one on Uncle Lou’s Buick, would have its home on our oak ice box, where it would be the first thing anyone would notice, coming in the kitchen. Yes, we all agreed. That’s where this treasure belonged, and where it stayed all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to https://www.smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details, or if you would like a hard copy, please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

Lifestyle - We could hear the horn long before we could see the car. It was a horn like no other heard in all of Renfrew County. We knew it was Uncle Lou! He usually let Mother know when he was coming. But sometimes, he just arrived, like it was an everyday occurrence to drive all the way from New York City just to visit us out on the farm. By the time his big black Buick pulled into the yard, driving down our long lane off the Northcote Side Road, Everett had run to open the gate wide, Audrey had replaced the Eaton’s catalogue for the orange wrapping papers in the outhouse, Mother had changed her apron to one spanking clean, and the rest of us circled the yard jumping up and down like jackrabbits. Even Father had stopped whatever he was doing in the barns, and joined us, ready to greet Uncle Lou and his black Buick with the big shiny brass American Eagle on the rad of the car. Mother, as usual, whenever her brother came from New York, was crying. It took me a long time to learn the difference between crying because you were sad or crying because you were overcome with joy. Mother was overcome with joy! Uncle Lou pulled the car up close to the back door of the house, and when he got out, he swung Mother around like she was a toy doll, and then he pumped Father’s hand, and then grabbed each of us into a bear hug, one that took my breath away. Uncle Lou never came empty handed. And I tried not to make it look too obvious, but I couldn’t help looking into the back of the car, and there were boxes upon boxes, and in the front seat were brown paper bags. And I knew without a doubt, he had stopped in Renfrew and bought bags of oranges, bananas, grapes, and a bag of lemons for Mother... all things we would never dream of adding to our Saturday morning shopping list. It was like Christmas...right in the middle of summer! I couldn’t take my eyes off the back of the car. But Uncle Lou didn’t seem to be in any great hurry to unload his luggage or the boxes. He did reach in and take out the bags of fruit though, which caused Mother to shed another great pile of tears! Emerson, who loved cars, was walking around and around the Buick like it was made of gold. In fact, we all thought the big Eagle on the rad was pure gold, until Uncle Lou corrected us and said it was brass. Emerson was rubbing his built smaller, hand over it and making clucking sounds of approval. “Sure like that bird,” he kept without compromise saying. With his arm tight around Mother’s The ultimate fishing boat, light and versatile. If you are waist, Uncle Lou headed into the house, looking for a smaller boat that will provide great fishing and ordered the boys to unload the car. fun, there is no need to compromise on quality. First to come out were the many boxes, some with Macy’s Department Store Length modeL year description saLe price* printed on them, others just plain boxes 14 2014 Fisherman $2,450 tied with ribbons and string. Then came Uncle Lou’s luggage.

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

NDP candidate Dave Parkhill gains 2000 votes

Was your wedding one that should be featured in a magazine?

R0012756582

NDP candidate Dave Parkhill was the second runner up in the LFL&A provincial election. Parkhill garnered a total of 10,207 votes, up by about 2,000 from the 2011 election. “It’s the nature of the riding,” Parkhill said of the rather predictable win by Conservative Randy Hillier. “Bill ran a great campaign, and I think so did I. But the fact is, there is a big blue machine in this riding that has been there for a long time, and it’s going to be hard to knock them down.” All the same, he was relatively happy with how things turned out. “We brought our percentage up a fair bit, and I think I had a really good campaign,” Parkhill said. “I communicated with a lot of people, and with hearts and minds we had some growth. We’re moving forward to the next campaign, and we’ll bring it up even more.” He noted he was surprised to see the Liberals win a majority, as that does not reflect what he was hearing from people on the campaign trail. “I think probably, at the end of the day, I think people voted out of fear. I think they were afraid of a Hudak majority, and I think province-wide that’s what happened. And, locally, I think people voted for the comfort that they have in Randy.”

“The world is not ending. Brick and mortar stores are not going away:” Local entrepreneur defends Kingston’s downtown hpratt-campbell@perfprint.ca

Rogue Boutique owner Shannon Sanders grew up in Kingston, and has always loved the city’s downtown. This passion contributed to her decision to open up her business there in October, 2013. She describes Rogue Boutique as having a “unique and eclectic assortment of home items,” good for shoppers looking for a gift for someone that has everything or is a little bit more funky with their tastes. “When the Olden Green closed - the owners retired last year - there wasn’t really a gift store downtown,” Sanders says. “And there aren’t too many alternative-based stores in Kingston. I figured with the whole student population and people in their late 20s/early 30s buying their first home, it would be a good time to open a place with homeware and gift items.” Sanders loves the vibe on Rogue Boutique’s block, which is on Princess Street between Barrie and Clergy. The area has seen a number of new businesses open up in the last couple of years, including The Limestone City Cupcakery (which moved there from Ontario Street), Bombshell custom t-shirts, Gabriel’s Pizza, Meltdown and the upcoming Stone City Brewery. She says that she has been frustrated with the negative press the downtown has received of late.

“There have been so many articles about all the stores that are closing and I think we’re just creating a circle of terribleness where you tell people there are so many empty storefronts downtown and nothing new is happening and people stop coming downtown so more stores close,” Sanders says, noting the many great examples of positive downtown developments that can be found on the blocks surrounding her store. She adds that based on her conversations with former downtown business owners she knows personally, many of the recent store closures, such as the Olden Green’s, have been due to the owners simply wanting to move on with their lives as opposed to not being able to stay afloat financially. “A lot of people are just not living the same life that they used to so they’re getting out of it because they’ve been open for 10-15 years. A lot of people say ‘I’m done with this, I want to move on to something else.’ It’s not necessarily that things are so terrible downtown. The world is not ending. Brick and mortar stores are not going away. People still enjoy shopping and especially in the downtown environment. It’s beautiful down here, especially in the summer.” Sanders hopes that for the sake of our city, people will stop going on about how downtown is in such dire straits. “If businesses are afraid to open

It’s historic, it’s beautiful. We need to keep it alive. People need to support it.” Sanders adds that many special

“I think the big dig [last year] really hurt a lot of people. I think they handled it as best they could but it was still a nightmare. There was hardly anybody downtown. But that’s over and I really feel like this is going to be the summer that’s going to turn it all around.”

Locksmith shop serving Kingston and area for three generations W.R. Brightman & Sons Limited

EMC Business – W.R. Brightman & Son Limited started in January of 1946, after Wilford Brightman was discharged from the Canadian Armed Forces. Sargent Brightman served overseas and other postings as an armour gun-smith. Our (family) business started as a gunsmith shop on Charles Street, in Kingston, where it remained for 56 years. We moved to 349 Bath Road, Kingston in 2002 when we found and purchased the current property. The lockshop started by Wilford was purchased by his son Bob. Chad, Bob’s son, is the third generation working in the family owned and operated business. And, we continue today serving the Kingston and surrounding areas with locksmith services and safe work. Our showroom is stocked with door hardware, office and home safes, with always 40 to 50 safes in stock for you to choose from, or we can order in what you need. We can also custom build a safe to fit your needs and size requirements. We have 3 qualified locksmiths to serve you with your every lock need from exit devises & master key systems to key cutting & high security locks. As the world changes we keep

up to date with mechanical push button and electronic push button locks to make your life a little easier. As well, with safes, we can have your safe open with a push button lock, some with audit trail, multiple user codes and time delay features. In the near future, Brightman’s will be able to supply and install your handicap accessible systems for office and plant. Tip: When considering buying a safe, first decide what kind of safe you are going to need. There are three basic kinds of safes. Fire safes protect papers from burning. Burglary safes protect valuables such as diamonds, gold, money, watches or other irreplaceable items, from being stolen. The third kind of safe is a composite safe which will give you both fire and burglary protection in one unit.

Opening Kingston’s Doors By Braden Dragomir Reporter

Kingston Heritage News - Kingston’s history is rich; the city boasts the title of Canada’s first capital, was the home of Canada’s first Prime Minister, and contains many scenic features like the locks along the Rideau Canal; the list goes on. On Saturday, June 21, you get the chance to experience all of that history and more as Doors Open Kingston happens around the city. Dozens of locations, including several that are not usually open to the public, will welcome you in for free. For this city, 2014 marks a very special year, as Doors Open centres around the 100th anniversary of the First World War. “There’s a lot of historical significance with the theme of World War I this year,” said Community Events Coordinator Sue Hitchcock. “We even have a gentleman who has put together a World War I driving tour.” With the anniversary, Fort Frontenac will be opening its doors to the public for the first time. The Fort was built in 1673. “It’s never open to the public, and they’ve decided to open this year so I’m very excited about that, and so are they.” Also part of the First World War anniversary theme are the Royal Military College of Canada; CFB Kingston’s Camp Barriefield (now McNaughton Barracks); Queen’s University — who had more than 1,500 students, faculty and staff (189 of whom gave their lives) serving on various fighting fronts; Princess of Wale’s Own Regiment — the unit earned 18 Battle Honours in three years of frontline service; many of Kingston’s museums; and the Queen’s University Archives. “The Queen’s University Archives are new this year, and they have a wealth of artifacts from World War I. They have letters from students that went to war and wrote home, and so much more,” said Hitchcock. While the theme focuses on the First World War, there are also many locations that centre around art, culture and other historical events. Murney Tower, which normally has a charge, is free for the day so people can walk through and visit the museum. Other participating sites include: • Agnes Etherington Art Centre - University Ave/Bader Lane • Almost Home - 118 William St.

• Bellevue House National Historic Site - 35 Centre St. • Canada’s Penitentiary Museum - 555 King St. W. • Chalmers United Church - 212 Barrie St. • Former Congregational Church / Masonic Hall - 126 Wellington St. • Fort Frontenac - 317 Ontario St. • HMCS Cataraqui - 24 Navy Way • Kingston City Hall - 216 Ontario St. • Kingston Police Headquarters - 705 Division St. • Kingston School of Art & Window Art Gallery - 647A Princess St. • McLachlan Woodworking Museum - 2993 Highway 2 East • Military Communications and Electronics Museum - 95 Craftsman Blvd. • Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre - 21 Queen St. • Murney Tower Museum - 2 King St. W. • Museum of Health Care at Kingston - 32 George St. • Portsmouth Town Hall - 623 King St. • Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment Military Museum - 100 Montreal St. • Pump House Steam Museum - 23 Ontario St. • Queen’s University Archives - Kathleen Ryan Hall • Roger’s K-Rock Centre - 1 Tragically Hip Way • Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Brigade Association - 193 Ontario St. • Royal Military College of Canada Memorial Arch • Royal Military College Museum, Fort Fredrick - 4 Passchendale Dr. • Salon Macdonald at St. Andrew‘s Manse 146 Clergy St. E. • Skeleton Parks Arts Festival - McBurney Park • St. Andrew‘s Presbyterian Church - 130 Clergy St. E. • St. George‘s Cathedral - 270 King St. E. • St. Paul‘s Anglican Church - 137 Queen St. • Sydenham Street United Church - 82 Sydenham St. “There’s a long, long history here,” noted Hitchcock. “This is just a great chance to get out tourists in our own town.” Most venues are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For a complete list and more details you can visit the City of Kingston’s website.

MacDonald closes gap but Hillier comes out on top in LFL&A Reporter

Heritage News — Although they watched the election results across the street from each other in Perth last Thursday night, the atmospheres surrounding PC Randy Hillier and Liberal Bill MacDonald were worlds apart. Hillier, the incumbent, won by a margin of just over 7,000 votes (21,966 to 14,957) and held his returns party at Fiddleheads. MacDonald, who managed to close the gap in this second contest between the two (he lost their first match by almost 10,000 votes (22,457 to 12,490) was at the Best Western. For MacDonald, the venue was a classy wine & cheese, with tomatoprosciutto canapés served by a stylish waitress in a black cocktail dress. For Hillier, it was nachos, pizza and beer, more or less serve yourself. Understandably, the moods of the rooms were polar opposites with MacDonald’s reflecting a subdued aura while Hillier’s was a raucous celebration. “This is a bittersweet night,” MacDonald said. “It’s a Liberal majority government that I desperately wanted to be a part of. “But the best part of it is, the GD pundits were wrong, we do have a Liberal majority.”

Across the province, the Liberals took 59 seats (54 needed for majority), the PCs won 27 and the New Democrats 21. At dissolution, the Liberals held 48 seats, the PCs 37 and New Democrats 21 with one seat vacant. In LFL&A, New Democrat Dave Parkhill garnered more than 2,000 more votes (10,207) to finish third. Green Party candidate Cam Mather finished fourth with 3,266 votes, up from the 1,754 Nancy Matte received last time. “I don’t know what we could have done differently,” MacDonald said. “We campaigned every day throughout the election and I’m going to need a few days off to rest. “Not everybody scored but the team wins. “I will sleep soundly tonight.” MacDonald thanked his campaign workers, whose numbers surprised him a bit, calling them “the people who put faith in me and worked very hard for me.” He said he was pleased that the campaign ended up in the black financially and credited campaign manager Roger Martin for that. “I’m not proud of the numbers but I am proud of the effort,” he said. “I’m disappointed with my personal showing but this is a tough riding to paint red.” He also predicted better times for

the province under Premier Kathleen Wynne. “I believe the people of Ontario were listening to a more positive message from Wynne,” he said. “She was operating under a minority but now can move forward.” As to PC leader Tim Hudak announcing he’d step down as leader, MacDonald said: “I don’t care who leads (the Conservative party).” For his part, Hillier was philosophical about the results, while announcing he wouldn’t be running for the leadership this time around. “We do as good a job as we can,” Hillier said. “It’s unfortunate the way things turned out but I think people voted for me because I think they respect that I do what I say I’m going to. “We’re back to where we were in ’07 and I guess it will be grin and bear it for a few years.” And, he definitely ruled out a run to replace Hudak. “No,” he said. “I’ve seen what it takes to be a successful leader and I cherish my home, family and community to be away from them on such and extended basis.”

Ah, those blonde moments… By Sherri Patterson

Dictionary.com explains a blonde moment as: “Noun (Often Facetious): A brief mental lapse, as of judgment or memory: ‘I must be having a blonde moment’. Urbandictionary.com has a different take on the phrase and I quote: “When a pretty blonde girl does something stereotypically ‘blonde’ i.e.: walking into a pole, not getting a joke, or getting it slower than other people, and/or saying lots of ‘likes’ in the same sentence.”

love these little detours from the everyday façade – and exhaustion – of keeping up appearances. We can spend so much time and energy worrying about how we appear to others, and these little gaffes exist to show our more human sides, and take our egos down a notch. We may not be the little smarties we claim to be and, thank goodness for that! I had a blonde moment just last week, at work. I was staring at an email to a client, whose name was Bob, while simultaneously phoning another client, Doug. I think you can see where this led. Sorry, Doug (eyeroll). The previous week, while strolling along Princess Street with my

friend Anthony, we spotted a “For Lease” sign, in a storefront window. “I wonder who’s moving in there,” I mused, and was surprised when Anthony burst out laughing. Hmm. Yep, they would’ve taken down the sign. Right. Zing! But, though I used to dread blonde moments, I now find them endearing. While some people may believe they’re nothing more than a source of embarrassment, I prefer to think that they hearken back to an age of innocence and strengthen our character. I like being someone who can admit to her faux pas. No one is perfect, and even though we realize this, why do we still strive for that ideal? Blonde moments assure us that we are flawed, fallible beings.

That’s a good thing in my books. Some people are offended by the saying “blonde moment”. In fact, there have been times when I’ve confessed, following a slip-up, “Oops, blonde moment,” and worried how that branding would be received by those around me. But there’s no disrespect intended. It’s not about being blonde and being blonde is not associated with a lack of intelligence, either. Sorry, urbandictionary.com, but I believe we can all have blonde moments, regardless of hair colour, age or sex and I don’t worry anymore about calling them as I see them. So stay tuned for more bungles, bloopers and blunders...because, after all, they’re guaranteed.

R0012758033

Well, I’m not in agreement with that last definition, but one thing’s for sure, I am very familiar with this modern predicament known as the “blonde moment,” especially of

the verbal variety. Blonde moments happen unwittingly, exposing your vulnerability and knocking you for a loop. They’re furtive, these little thieves of propriety, sneaking up on you, when you least expect it. Being a blonde, I used to dread blonde moments. The idea of uttering something with total innocence and then finding out (tout de suite) that it garnered a reception quite lacking in awe and adoration horrified me. Say something “blonde” and suddenly my arsenal of a lifetime’s worth of intelligent quips and anecdotes would be obliterated in one fell swoop, along with my dignity. Ah, drama, drama, drama! But, the reality is not as bad as all that. In fact, I have learned to

Howe Island meeting interesting, informative and hopeful council that very soon based on figures presented it was clear that long lineups were inevitable sooner than later.”This resolution is really to ask staff to put the process in place, not necessarily to do the work but to find the solution for us.” He noted transportation management within the process is also important in this process in particular in the way commutes are managed, types of vehicle on the ferry etc. . “I am sure the CAO (Darlene Plumley) and her staff will bring a report to council that will engage not only the bureaucracy but the community as well.” HIRA member Brian Humphrys thanked council but suggested that council also look at short and long term improvements to our existing structure and look at what to do without getting into big dollars. HIRA will outline certain initiatives that could be taken in a letter. He also asked for news about the Frontenac Howe Island County ferry bubble system problems Mayor Doyle said that there is information about the bubble system pipes that will be made available at a Howe Island community meeting with council tentatively set for June 26th. **Howe Island is looking to

EMC new-An important resolution related to transportation, specifically the Howe Island ferry service was passed at the Regular Frontenac Islands June Council meeting. But then the most important issue facing Frontenac Islands is always about transportation. Couldn’t help but think that after years of writing about Ferry Services to Howe and Wolfe islands and in spite of many improvements that have come about, ever decreasing ferry capacity due to ever increasing demand is leading to ever increasing wait times with no real solution determined, except on paper. But this resolution pertaining to Howe Island is different in that it authorizes township staff to investigate the process necessary to consider how to refurbish or to replace the Howe Island Township Ferry. And further that all this leads eventually to a proposal for a work plan based on information from the 2013 AECOM Howe Island Trasportation Study report “to accommodate the financial and operational commitments necessary to manage Howe Island ferry service demands.” Deputy Mayor Jones reminded

Explore the best of the best carnival foods Summer is a time of year when empty parking lots or fields get transformed into magical places of wonder. When the carnival comes to town, once barren spaces are filled with blinking lights and the hum of mechanical rides that treat thrill seekers to a whirling dervish of excitement. Cheers, jeers and game attendants can be heard, and the savory aroma of fried delights wafts in the breeze. Traveling fairs and carnivals are hallmarks of late spring and summer. Comprised of vendors, games of chance, amusement rides, and more, these events attract scores of spectators. Historians believe the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair served as a catalyst for the creation of traveling carnivals. After the World’s Fair closed, traveling carnival companies began to tour the United States and abroad. The idea of mobile carnivals may have also been made trendy by the popularity of amusement areas like Coney Island and Atlantic City. Although the rides and attractions certainly entice their share of carnival visitors, for many the unique culinary offerings available at fairs and carnivals are a big attraction as well. At carnivals, many people indulge in foods that are best enjoyed sparingly, such as fried foods, sticky sweets and meats on a stick. The following are some of the more popular fair foods. Cotton candy

Cotton candy is a treat many people only eat at carnivals or fairs. A

form of spun sugar mixed with air to produce a large volume of sticky sweet cotton, cotton candy was invented by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton in 1897. It was subsequently introduced to the public at the 1904 World’s Fair as “Fairy Floss.” Automatic cotton candy machines help make cotton candy available to market at carnivals and fairs around the world. Eat it quickly because cotton candy melts and gets messy under the hot sun. Corn dogs

Foods served on sticks, including corn dogs, are a staple of carnivals because of their portability. Corn dogs are formed by dipping a hot dog into a cornmeal batter and frying it. Many credit Carl and Neil Fletcher with the first “corny dog,” served at the State Fair of Texas in 1942. Those who enjoy hot dogs and the crunch of an outer coating flock to concession stands for these salty delights.

Funnel cakes

What would a carnival be without some variation of fried dough? From Spanish churros to Italian zeppoles to regular doughnuts, there is something to be said about sweetened, chewy dough fried to form a crunchy outer shell. When dusted with powdered sugar, the confection is complete. Funnel cakes are a type of fried dough regularly sold at fairs across North America. Al-

though the history of funnel cakes is debatable, popular opinion states they were made popular by German immigrants in Pennsylvania. Funnel cakes were once formed by pouring batter through a funnel into a hot pan of oil. Now it is usually done by pouring batter from a pitcher or through an automatic machine. Kettle corn

Although popcorn is a popular fair food, so is its sweetened cousin, kettle corn. Kettle corn was first introduced in the early 1700s by European immigrant farmers. Corn was popped in large cast-iron pots filled with lard rendered from farm hogs. The corn popped quite quickly in the kettles and sweeteners like sugar or honey were added to the popped corn. Modern kettle corn is made in

much the same way, using corn, oil, sugar, and salt. Use of sugar produces a sweet crust on the popping corn. Constant stirring is required, or the sugar will burn in the kettle. Carnivals, street fairs and feasts are popular attractions when the weather warms up. They’re heralded not only for their rides and games of chance but also for their indulgent foods.

Running a family-owned business

R0012758133

The published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

There’s something that just feels “familiar” when visiting a business that’s run by a family. You know that this business is their life, and even though they put in many grueling hours into making their establishment successful, many of them still find a way to still spend time with their families. They do this by employing their siblings, children, or marital partner to assist them with the daily operations of the family business. Once you become familiar with the owner of a family business, you’ll begin to recognize the sacrifices, tribulations, and uncertainty that they have to endure on a daily basis. After all, the business is typically their sole source of income, and essentially the only way that they can provide for their family. This is why a family-owned business is typically run in a productive, efficient manner. If their establishment succeeds, the entire family can gull the spoils of victory. However, if business is in a slump, the family unfortunately has to trudge through the bad times together. These factors are why family-run businesses are especially dependant on operating a profitable establishment. Their

significant other isn’t earning extra money through another job- they’re too busy putting all their efforts towards the family business. All of their earnings depend on the success of the business, and this motivation is what makes many of these establishments very successful. Paradiso Pizza http://www.paradisopizza.ca/is a family-run business that originally opened its doors in 1994. This family originally came from Sicily, Italy, and has been feeding satisfied customers a variety of freshly-made menu selections that urge them to come back for more! They have been competing with numerous franchises for 19 years, and have continued to be a staple of Kingston due to their hard work, delicious food, and especially their tightly-knit family that has literally grown up in front of Paradiso’s customers. Paradiso Pizzahttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Paradiso-PizzaSubs/177857858934292 is a shining example of labour and perseverance paying off. Come and see why they were voted as “The Best Of Kingston” http://www. paradisopizza.ca/ and give them a call at 613-548-7006.

Fish oil is also used to aid people who are suffering from mental disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease and depression, and it can even help people with eye problems such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. With so many applications, it is not surprising that fish oil is a leading medicinal product sold in Canada today.

Health benefits of the infrared sauna Saunas are an ingenious innovation, which offer a multitude of health benefits. Infrared saunas http://www.omegafitclub.ca/services. html#infraredsauna in particular are adept at improving your overall wellness, and here’s why.

Detoxification When you’re sitting in a sauna, you’re usually dripping in sweat. When you sweat from the heat in a sauna, you are essentially pushing out all of those toxins that have built up on your skin and in your body. Infrared saunas are an excellent source of detoxification, and can help your liver and kidneys function better, which will ultimately increase the quality of your life. Pain relief Many people experience chronic pain, for a variety of reasons. The infrared sauna can bring relief to muscle and joint pains. The heat that is emanated from the infrared rays penetrates and soothes those ailments. It can even improve your circulation, as well as your immune system.

Weight loss A 30-minute infrared sauna session can burn anywhere up to 600 calories. This is because your heart rate and metabolic rate increases, which in turn results in fat cells burning more rapidly. In addition to weight loss, the infrared sauna can also improve the appearance of your skin, and clear things such as cellulite, acne and eczema. The infrared sauna is an excellent alternative to the traditional sauna for those who might not be able to stand the intense heat. Whereas the traditional sauna heats the room, the infrared sauna heats the body itself, leading to an overall more pleasant experience. If you think you’d benefit from a detoxification sweat in an infrared sauna, consider visiting Omega Fit Club http://www.omegafitclub.ca/ in Kingston. One of the staff members will happily give you a guided tour of the facilities. You can call the club directly at 613-6343484, send them an email info@omegafitclub.ca, visit their Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/pages/Omega-FitClub/161417107231911 , or follow them on Twitter https://twitter.com/omegafitclub/ for more information.

Dash and business control failures Brian Turner

Car Counsellor bjoeturner@hotmail.com

Lifestyle - “Hello Brian, I have a 1998 Mazda B-4000 4x4 truck and I have a small issue with it that has stumped many a mechanic and auto-part store representative. The speedometer and odometer stop working after only a few kilometers but all other gauges in the instrument cluster continue to work. During winter they both work for a little longer, I assume because it takes the engine longer to warm up, and sometimes in the summer will not work at any time during the day. I have also noticed if it is extremely cold (-20 and lower) the instruments will work for a few kilometers, stop working, then if the truck is parked for some time and started, the instruments will work again but not as long as first thing in the morning. The speed sensor unit has been changed on the rear axle and this has not corrected or improved the situation and it’s still the same. I have spoken with Mazda and Ford reps and they cannot provide any insights to the exact cause. Finally,

except for this issue the truck is in sound mechanical condition and has never had any mechanical or electrical faults. I was hoping you may have a light bulb moment and solve this minor issue for me.” Cheers, Troy

This Mazda’s PCM (Power-train Control Module) receives vehicle speed information from the antilock brake system rear wheel speed sensor. The raw signal from this sensor on the rear axle goes directly to the anti-lock brake module where the signal is corrected for tire diameter. Then the corrected signal is sent to the PCM, speed control, cluster, etc. If the sensor on the diff has been replaced with no change, the problem will be found in one of the following areas; 1) Signal harness from the diff sensor to the module. 2) Internal fault of the ABS or Power-train control module. 3) Signal harness from the PCM to the cluster. 4) Internal fault of the cluster. 5) Poor grounds for any of the above. Based on the observation that more than the speedometer/odometer stops working in the cold, I suspect the problem is in the cluster or

the wiring that feeds it. The cheapest way to try to fix this would be to obtain a used cluster from a salvage yard. The alternative is to take the truck to a very experienced Mazda B4000 or Ford Ranger technician and be willing to pay for his or her time to check the wiring and modules. At labour rates of $100/hour or more, trying out a used cluster will very likely be much cheaper. “Hi Brian, I Googled parking lots for new unsold cars and was astonished by the millions of cars that have never been sold and are parked in mega lots to rot. Would these cars not be better off recycled. Maybe today’s new cars wouldn’t be so expensive if the manufacturers didn’t yearly make more cars than demand calls for. If everyone refused to buy a brand new car for one year I think maybe the manufacturers would get the hint. Your thoughts?” Debby Some of the information received on the internet can be a bit of an exaggeration (hard to believe, I know) but as with many things on the web, sometimes there’s a bit of truth as well. Prior to the bankruptcy and bail-outs of two large Detroit-based automakers, it was a common practice for these companies to produce far more vehicles than their dealers

were ordering. Then, at the end of a model year, deep discounts and incentives were applied to move these mountains of metal, often at very low profit margins. While I’m not entirely conversant with European or Asian production practices, I’m pretty safe in stating that everything produced for the North American market, does end up on the road eventually. After the North American bailouts, carmakers seem to have learned their lessons and are periodically shutting down assembly lines for short periods of time when inventories start to climb and get stagnant. But if you see them return to the end-of-model year deep discounts, you may be excused for believing they’re back to their old tricks. What the last recession proved is that if a major manufacturer doesn’t have some degree of flexibility built into their financial planning and production schedules, (especially when it comes to cutting back in low demand times) they are doomed to failure and I’m not a fan of bailing them out again. As for putting off purchasing a vehicle for a year, many consumers don’t have much choice, but when you consider how many of our tax dollars went into the bailouts, perhaps we might be owed a new car from certain makers.
