Proposed airport expansion faces turbulence from the neighbours By Bill Hutchins

News – The owners of a Kingston marina are urging city council to stop the expansion of a runway at Norman Rogers Airport. “We are worried that it’s going to kill our family business with the excess noise, and customers won’t want to stay,” said Lori Buzzi, whose family has owned and operated Collins Bay Marina for 45 years. She says about 50 per cent of boaters at the marina stay there all season. “The boats are their cottages. For transient boaters, their number one complaint is the airplane noise.” The business is in the flight path of the airport’s main north-south runway, which is slated to be lengthened to 6,000 feet from the current 5,000 feet. The Buzzis say adding 1,000 feet of runway will lead to an increase in airplane size, air traffic and noise. Their marina at 1270 Coverdale Drive, near the entrance to Lemoine Point Conservation Area, is located 500 metres from the runway. The Buzzis and their children went to council June 21 to state their case, insisting the city’s own studies are inconsistent and don’t factor in all of the small personal aircraft that The Kingston Stilters group make their way through downtown Kingston during the use the airport each year. “They’re not countKingston Pride Parade on June 18.

11,000 flights. They’re not including them in the noise studies,” she said. But an expert hired by the city to study the noise impact concludes the runway expansion won’t generate much more ground or sky noise in the year 2026 than it did in 2012. Bernhard Schropp, with WSP Canada, says he used Transport Canada noise evaluation guidelines to assess the impact on surrounding homes and businesses. The study concluded that future noise generated by planes – both within and beyond the airport property - meets Transport Canada guidelines. “Aircraft will not fly any lower over the marina than they do today,” he told councillors. A longer runway won’t change the landing point of planes that are flying in over the marina, but it would benefit larger planes that need more room for take-off. Planes will also climb on take-off much faster. Most general use airports in Canada have at least a 6,000foot runway, he explained. Officials insist that most airplanes can take off or land in less than a minute – generating less noise and duration than a freight train – and the newer generation of planes have quieter engines. An estimated 71,000 people fly

out of Kingston’s airport every year. In addition to noise exposure, the city also conducted airport expansion studies on the environment and air quality. “There will be changes in emissions as a result of the expansion,” said Schropp. However, he concluded air quality from airplane emissions is “not significantly changed.” The studies are considered to be the final phase before the $16 million airport expansion gets final clearance from council. If the project proceeds, the city will issue a request for proposals to select a design-build firm. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2017 and be completed one year later. The city’s own business case does not guarantee that an expanded airport will attract more passengers or air carriers. How-

ever, city staff say it will serve as an economic catalyst. They predict it will bring competitive service to Kingston, such as WestJet, as well as ensure that Air Canada’s current regional service will continue. But the Collins Bay Marina owners say council is gambling with the future of their business. “They can’t fill the planes they’re using now, so there’s not a business case for it,” said Buzzi. The family has even hired its own experts to assess the noise impacts and challenge the city studies. They also claim the city stands to benefit if their marina goes under, adding many Collins Bay boaters could leave the area and dock at the city-owned Confederation Basin or Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. “Government should not be using its powers to crush the competition,” she told council.

Students, staff and alumni say farewell to QECVI By Rob Mooy

TICO#50007364

There wasn’t a dry eye in the place as students, staff and alumni gathered one last time as a group to say farewell to Queen Elizabeth Collegiate and Vocational Institute (QECVI), a beacon of education in Kingston’s north end, since 1955. The emotional farewell ceremony, June 17, celebrated 60 years of Pride, Community and Tradition – the school’s motto. Students, staff and guests listened to greetings from local dignitaries, watched a video tribute - Remembering QECVI: 1955-2016, witnessed the filling of a time capsule by students from the first and final graduating

class, and wept during an emotional musical tribute called Time to Go, performed by Alison Pinkerton and Grade 11 students Rachel Forbes and Emma Hale. For some, like Principal Anne Marie McDonald, the celebration of education had double meaning, having not only attended QECVI during her high school years, but also returning years later as a vice-principal. A Kingston native, McDonald has lived in Kingston all of her life. “I attended JG Simcoe Public School and Rideau Heights Public School before attending QE. I lived in Rideau Heights until my third year of university at Q u e e n ’ s . ” It was a real family affair at QECVI, with both her

Queen Elizabeth Collegiate and Vocational Institute Principal Anne Marie McDonald takes a moment to reflect on her days at the school following a farewell ceremony, June 17. The 60 year old school is being demolished to make way for a new school, expected to open during the 2018/2019 school year. Photo/Rob Mooy younger brother and five cousins also attending and graduating from the school. The school opened in November 1955. In a funny twist of fate, the student association from Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute (KCVI) gave the new QECVI student association a gavel as a gift to congratulate them on the opening of their new school. (KCVI will also close its doors and join QECVI students at the new school upon its completion.) Built to house some 1,104 students, QECVI reached its greatest capacity only two times in its 60 year history -- in the late 60s and then again in the early 90s with the introduction of Focus Programs. In its final year, QECVI will see 70 students graduate in the class of 2016, the rest of the student body will move to LCVI until construction of the new $36 million school is complete. Over the years, courses changed to keep up with

changing times. “The introduction of Focus Programs changed things significantly,” says McDonald. “Creative Arts, Veterinary Technician, Building Construction, Academy of Hair, all added a range of program opportunities, and brought students from around the district into QECVI. Some of those programs, such as Creative Arts, are still in existence now.” McDonald still remembers her first day as a Grade 9 student in 1985. “I remember meeting another girl on that first day who was shy and nervous about being in high school,” she says. “We became instant friends, and continued on that friendship throughout high school.” Like probably every student in Grade 9, she remembers the feeling on the first day of being part of someContinued on page 5

thing bigger--a larger setting where everyone felt grown up. “Having your own locker was like practice for having your own space as an adult. I remember being excited about the greater independence you got as a high school student,” she said. “My most memorable class in Grade 9 was Barb Bulak’s girls’ phys ed class. Barb passed away from MS after I had left QE. As a teacher, she was tough on the outside, but helped all of us tremendously during that formative first year of high school.” McDonald always enjoyed and excelled at school, and worked very hard to do well. “My mother never had the chance to go to university, so she hoped that one day I would be able to. My school meant a great deal to me, and the teachers I had were mentors in many aspects of my life, aside from just my studies. They helped me pick my path in life, which was to become a teacher.” As she looks back over her years of high school, she recalls some favourite times from her days at QE. “Some of my favourite memories include our significant fundraising efforts for the community,” explains McDonald. “One year, we won a Platinum Blonde concert at our school because, of all of the high schools in Frontenac County, we raised the most amount of money for the Food Bank. Platinum Blonde was

pretty cool back in the 80s,” she said. Some of her memories are also emotional ones. “Some of the most emotional times were when we were facing the “school swap”, a proposal in which the public and Catholic school boards planned to literally swap the Regi and QE buildings, since Regi needed more space,” adds McDonald. “We protested at the school board office, we held hands around our school, and we held campaigns in front of our school to garner community support.” And they were successful. Due to the overwhelming school and community protest, the school board did not proceed with those plans. “It was a time when the students and community banded together, and it was pretty powerful to be a part of that.” Upon graduation she attended Queen’s for her Physical Education and Arts degrees, and then her Bachelor of Education degree. In 2009, she completed her Masters of Education part-time, also at Queen’s. It wasn’t long after finishing her studies when a sad turn of events led to McDonald’s return to her alma mater as its vice-principal in 2010. “Debbie Chambers, vice-principal at QE, passed away from cancer, and I was moved from a VP position at Bayridge Secondary School into her position,” she explains. “A year later, I became the principal, right at the time when the PARC (Program and Accommodation Review Committee) process was beginning,” she explained. “My entire

principalship at QE has been spent either in the PARC process, enduring the judicial review of the LDSBs decision to close QE and KC, navigating through the politicallycharged exploration of the Memorial Centre as a potential location for the new school, the design process for the new school, the integration and transition plans for the students, and now preparing for its closure.” She has many fond memories from her tenure as the principal of QECVI. “At one of the public meetings, some of our students did a flash mob in which they sang John Lennon’s “Imagine” as a way to articulate how they wanted people to imagine the possibilities of a new school, and our communities coming together,” she explains. “That was one of my proudest moments as a principal.” “I will also not forget one of our Grade 9 students coming up to the microphone to explain how some QE students might be ‘rough around the edges’, but that they tried just as hard as other kids, and shouldn’t be feared. I will keep those memories with me throughout the rest of my career.” Her accomplishments didn’t stop once students graduated. One of the programs she is most proud of helps students once they finished their studies and are looking at post secondary education. “I believe our proudest accomplishment was the establishment of the QECVI postsecondary fund, a charitable trust that we use to help our students cover application, tuition and residence fees for college and

university,” says McDonald. “It has been very rewarding to see the culture change among our graduates who now see a future for themselves beyond high school. There was a time when we focused our efforts on simply getting students to cross the stage in June; we now believe in launching them to the next step beyond high school, which we know can be transformative for them and their families.” Tears fill her eyes as she thinks about the school’s pending closure. “The closure process has been very surreal for me. At times, I can’t believe that I’m helping to make plans and decisions about the closure and demolition of my own school, not just as its Principal, but as a former student who spent her formative years there. You have to keep your focus on the end goal, which is to create a future vision of education in north Kingston that will be amazing for students and families. So I am definitely filled with nostalgia, sadness and optimism all at the same time.” Staff and students have helped greatly during this emotional time. “I couldn’t have asked for more from our staff and students throughout this process,” she says. “Five years ago, I was worried we might face a mutiny from our community about the possibility of QEs closure. However, the students are longing for more educational opportunities: more class choices, more students to field sports teams, and the prospect of a brand-new school.” “They have continued to keep an open

mind, and have shown a desire to come together with the KCVI community. The other thing that was often not talked about in this process is the perception many people have about QE and its students. I think our students are looking forward to ridding themselves of the stigma about QE that makes them feel misrepresented and misunderstood. They often feel frustrated that outsiders don’t know about some of the very special things about their school.” But she won’t be leaving her students behind. McDonald will be a familiar face to her current QECVI students relocating to LCVI in September, as she takes on the role of LC’s principal. Incoming Grade 9 students, from the QECVI’s family of feeder schools, will attend KCVI. “One of my current vice-principals, and one of my vice-principals, currently on leave, will join me and one of the vice-principals at LCVI will remain. In the end, I think we will have struck a very good balance so that students from QE will have familiar faces in front of them in the fall, while still maintaining the culture and identity of LCVI” Soon, the halls of QECVI will go silent, only to be replaced by the sounds of construction crews tearing down this bastion of education, making way for construction to begin on the new stateof-the-art school, which is expected to open during the 2018/2019 school year. They may not be Raiders when they return to the new school, but QECVI students will always be ‘Raiders for Life.’

KEDCO report generates questions when presented to council By Bill Hutchins

News – The long-awaited report to reform the Kingston Economic Development Commission (KEDCO) was met with a mix of apprehension and enthusiasm when it was presented to city council June 21. But it could take a couple of months before it’s known whether any or all of the report’s recommendations will be acted on. “Now the hard work begins,” remarked Brock Dickinson, a consultant hired for $25,000 to guide the nearly six-month-long study. A review committee consisting of appointed councillors, citizens and staff was tasked with improving KEDCO’s governance and operating structure. Its final report recommends the embattled agency be split into two separate arm’s length bodies – one responsible for economic development and the other for tourism promotion. The report also calls for new mechanisms to enhance accountability and transparency – cornerstone complaints about KEDCO for the past two years

– in order to continue receiving public tax money through a service level agreement. Dickinson says the committee decided early on that it wasn’t going to please everyone in the community. “They didn’t have a magic wand to wave to fix all of our problems. What they did was deliver a road map,” he told councillors. But critics say the map is fraught with potholes. They also appeared before council to claim the committee ignored one of its council mandates to review past operations and financial records to determine successes and failures. They argue that splitting the agency into two is hardly the type of reform the community was promised. “There’s that great quote - those who don’t learn from history are bound to repeat the same mistakes,” said Ewen MacKinnon, who joined other local businessmen Vivek Datta and Michael Coutts in asking council to reject a report that’s “without merit.” “This is why people don’t come to this city,” said Datta, while holding up a small binder with the 82-page KED-

CO report that council is being asked to receive. Mayor Bryan Paterson waded into a lengthy question and answer session with the delegation, insisting the review committee’s mandate was always aimed at moving forward and not looking back. But MacKinnon says the committee chose to refine its mission and ignore doing a report card on the agency’s past successes or failures with tax money, adding: “It’s a review committee not a visioning committee.” Instead of creating a rebranded agency, the trio urged council to contract out the task of economic development to a private firm in order to ensure goals and solutions to job creation and economic investment are met. “It allows the council to be more nimble and at the same time ensure success by rewarding the companies that do achieve results,” MacKinnon explained. “The idea you brought forward is one of interest,” remarked Coun. Kevin George of the Request for Proposals option. However, Coun. Lisa Osanic ques-

tioned whether privatizing economic development is any better than the current model. “How is that more transparent?” The report is urging swift action to create the two new organizations, and that a transition committee should begin work this fall to complete the restructuring process. Its aim would be to: establish bylaws and new articles of incorporation for both tourism and economic development organizations, recruit new leadership, recruit new board members, and scout potential office sites that are more accessible to the public. The recommendation stops short of calling for KEDCO’s outright dissolution or to be made a department of City Hall, as some critics had called for. Under the proposed new structure, however, councillors would wield more control over both agencies that currently have 17 full-time employees. They would report to council and, presumably, continue to receive nearly $3 million in annual municipal tax support. The report is technically the prop-

erty of KEDCO’s board, not council. Council can only receive the document. But both bodies are being encouraged to negotiate the next steps. Shai Dubey, who has returned to chair KEDCO’s board after a five year hiatus, says the board is eager to work alongside council to implement changes. “Absolutely. The city is our funder. We’re talking about transparency. We’re responsible to the city and the taxpayers of Kingston.” Dubey says he purposely avoided commenting on the KEDCO review process until now, so as not to influence the outcome. He says the big theme to emerge from the organizational review is for a revamped KEDCO to do a better job explaining its role and results to taxpayers and politicians. “Communication is really what it comes down to. It’s making sure that people understand what’s going on.” Councillors ran out of time due to a heavy agenda workload, and rescheduled the KEDCO debate to June 23 to debate the report and possibly decide the next steps.

Letter to the editor

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE

City’s transportation planning obsolete Dear editor, Ref. “Kingston’s third crossing project ramps up to ‘shovel ready’ status” Kingston Region, June 09/16 The City of Kingston Engineering Department has failed once again to provide accurate and transparent information to Kingstonians. The Department is using “population and employment growth” as a leading factor for determining traffic “volume demand” as a reason for recommending the construction of new roads or bridges and widening or extending existing roads. Based on this approach, when the population increases, the traffic demand increases and roads and bridges are needed to be built or widened. This approach is wrong and outdated. Unfortunately, the Department defends the construction of the Third Crossing and widening of a long list of roads based on this approach. This obsolete way of thinking in transportation planning will cost taxpayers about $500 million over the next 20 years. In its analysis the Department ignores the “induced demand or latent demand” phenomenon, which is generated by the construction of new roads, lanes or bridges. This concept is based on the fact that the capacity of additional roads stimulates corresponding increases in traffic demand. In other words: if you build it, drivers will come. Thus, this approach will neither be a medium nor long term solution. The induced demand can also be interpreted in terms of economics. If there is greater supply in the market, greater consumption will result. There are always willing buyers who express their demand for travel when more road space is offered. This idea is aligned with the “supply and demand” theory used against widening roads and building new bridges. The concept is also considered by some planners to be a contributing factor to urban sprawl. From the 1970s through the early ‘90s, this ‘induced concept’ was used in the UK to protest against the government’s road construction policy. As a result, SACTRA (Standing Advisory Committee on Trunk Road Assessment) was appointed to review the impacts of increasing road capacity, which confirmed that this often resulted in a substantial increase in traffic volume. On the contrary, in Florence, Italy, restriction of private vehicles to downtown areas has increased active transportation considerably, and had a positive impact on the environment and congestion In addition, based on an established law of physics, the Third Crossing will increase the number of car trips between the two sides of the Cataraqui River. Newton’s “laws of gravitational attraction” proves that the closer two objects are together (east and west of city, in this Continued on page 8

Highway 401 / Highway 15 Interchange Interim Improvements (W.P. 4144-11-01) Detail Design And Environmental Assessment Study THE STUDY The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained WSP | MMM to complete the Detail Design and Environmental Assessment Study for interim improvements to the Highway 401 / Highway 15 interchange (Interchange 623) (W.P. 4144-11-01), in the City of Kingston. The interim improvements are proposed to provide geometric and operational benefits at the interchange, prior to the future implementation of the long-term interchange improvements proposed as part of the Preliminary Design Recommended Plan. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project involves the following components: • Widening the westbound on-ramp to two lanes at the north ramp terminal to accommodate a parallel merging lane; • Providing a southbound right-turn lane on Highway 15 for traffic to access the westbound on-ramp; • Realigning the westbound off-ramp with the westbound on-ramp to form a single signalized intersection at the north ramp terminal; • Widening the eastbound off-ramp to three lanes, including a designated left-turn, through/left-turn and right-turn; • Reviewing the need for widening Highway 15 at the south ramp terminal to accommodate a southbound left-turn lane to Middle Road; • Lane and road markings to designate through and through/right-turn lanes for northbound Highway 15 traffic at the south ramp terminal and to designate through and through-left turn lanes for northbound Highway 15 traffic at the north ramp terminal; • Reconstruction of the end of a drainage culvert; • Extension of two drainage culverts; and • Construction of related works including modifications to the ramp gates at the north ramp terminal, and to illumination on Highway 401 and at the interchange. Construction of the proposed works is anticipated to be completed using short-term lane/ramp width reductions and will result in minimal impacts to operations at the interchange. Short-term or nightly lane/ramp closures may be required. Traffic management during construction will be coordinated with the City of Kingston. No permanent impacts to private property are anticipated as a result of the proposed works. THE PROCESS This study is being carried out in accordance with the approved planning process for Group ‘C’ projects under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the project. The Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment Study (G.W.P. 4059-11-00) was documented in a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR), which received environmental clearance in 2016. An online Public Information Centre (PIC) will take place on the project website at www.hwy401-15interimimprovements.com to present findings and provide stakeholders with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed Detail Design. PIC materials will be posted on the project website on Thursday, July 14, 2016. You are encouraged to review the PIC materials and provide any comments or questions to the Project Team via the project website or at the contact information below by Thursday, July 28, 2016. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Screening Document (ESD) will be prepared for internal use documenting the study process and recommended plan.

DESCRIPTION DU PROJET Le projet comprend les éléments suivants : • élargir la bretelle d’accès en direction ouest à deux voies, à l’ouvrage terminal de la bretelle nord, pour accueillir une voie parallèle d’insertion dans la circulation; • aménager une voie en direction sud de virage à droite sur la route 15 pour que la circulation arrive à la bretelle d’accès en direction ouest; • modifier le tracé de la bretelle de sortie en direction ouest en fonction de la bretelle d’accès en direction ouest pour former une seule intersection à panneau de signalisation à l’ouvrage terminal de la bretelle nord; • élargir la bretelle de sortie en direction est à trois voies (virage à gauche désigné, circulation de transit avec virage à gauche, et virage à droite); • examiner la nécessité d’élargir la route 15 à l’ouvrage terminal de la bretelle sud pour accueillir une voie en direction sud de virage à gauche vers le chemin Middle; • apposer des marques de voie et de route pour désigner la voie de transit proprement dite et la voie de transit avec virage à droite à l’intention des véhicules en direction nord sur la route 15, à l’ouvrage terminal de la bretelle sud, ainsi que pour désigner la voie de transit proprement dite et la voie de transit avec virage à gauche pour les véhicules en direction nord sur la route 15, à l’ouvrage terminal de la bretelle nord; • reconstruction de l’extrémité d’un ponceau de drainage; • prolonger deux ponceaux de drainage; et • effectuer les travaux de construction connexes, y compris les modifications aux entrées de bretelles à l’ouvrage terminal de la bretelle nord, et à l’éclairage de l’autoroute 401 et de l’échangeur. Les travaux de construction proposés ne devraient nécessiter que des réductions de largeur de voies et de bretelles de courte durée et n’auront que des répercussions minimes sur les opérations à l’échangeur. Des fermetures de voies ou de bretelles de courte durée ou nocturnes pourront être nécessaires. La gestion de la circulation pendant la construction sera coordonnée avec la Ville de Kingston. Aucune répercussion permanente sur les propriétés privées ne devrait découler des travaux proposés. LE PROCESSUS Cette étude est entreprise conformément au processus de planification approuvé pour les projets du groupe « C » en vertu de l’Évaluation environnementale de portée générale du MTO pour les installations provinciales de transport (2000), et le public aura l’occasion de donner son avis pendant toute la durée du projet. La conception préliminaire et l’étude d’évaluation environnementale (G.W.P. 4059-11-00) ont été documentées dans un rapport d’étude environnementale sur les transports (REET) qui a reçu l’autorisation environnementale en 2016. Une séance d’information publique (SIP) aura lieu sur le site Web du projet à www.hwy401-15interimimprovements.com pour présenter les conclusions et donner aux intervenants une occasion d’examiner et de commenter la conception détaillée proposée. Des documents et illustrations sur la SIP seront affichés sur le site Web du projet, le jeudi 14 juillet 2016. Vous êtes encouragés à les examiner et à formuler tous vos commentaires ou toutes vos questions à l’équipe du projet au moyen du site Web du projet ou aux personnes dont les coordonnées figurent ci-dessous, d’ici au jeudi 28 juillet 2016.

City’s transportation planning obsolete Continued from page 7

case by construction of the third crossing), the larger the attraction. In fact, car trips between the two parts of the city will increase by 22 per cent (363 trips) in evening peak hours when the crossing is in place. The Environmental Assessment, which the Department favours, recommends that the three-lane Third Crossing should be upgraded to four lanes by 2029 in order to be aligned with the Official Plan level of service (LOS). In this scenario, the Third Crossing will reach capacity much sooner due to: Induced demand The impact of Newton’s ‘gravitational laws’ The fact that the proposed bridge is only designed for two lanes. The Department’s 20-year forecast is not based on scientific and proven urban transportation planning criteria. The Third Crossing and road widening policy increases car trips, car dependency and we will return to square one. Unfortunately due to the east end and rural areas lacking access to basic services such as liquor stores and due to the lack of affordable housing in the downtown area, their residences will inevitably have to use the Causeway to commute to downtown (city’s major employment center) even if the Third Crossing project is completed, which will result in no change of the traffic conditions on the Causeway. The purpose of modern and progressive transportation planning is to persuade people to change their behaviour and to use fewer cars by making transit more efficient, to increase bus frequency to 10 minutes to compete with private cars, to offer free bus rides until people choose the transit as the main mode of travel, and to complete bicycle lane network and so on. “Time delay reduction” proponents might be cheering, but the anticipated savings simply won’t happen. The speculation on greenhouse gas emission reductions by the proposed third crossing is a false assumption. Mahmood Rowghani Graduate architect and urban planner

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

Are the Terminator, HAL 2000 and similarly malevolent AIs poised to become reality?

Column â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For those of you who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who Ray Kurzweil is, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the guy who invented the flatbed scanner, multi-font optical character recognition, text-to-speech synthesis for the blind and speech recognition technology. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has written several books, and has been described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ultimate thinking machineâ&#x20AC;? by Forbes Magazine and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;restless geniusâ&#x20AC;? by the Wall Street Journal. In other words, when this guy talks about computer stuff, people listen. Well, what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been talking about recently is what came out of his 2006 book, The Singularity is Near, in which he describes a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;technological singularityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meaning a point where technological progress is so rapid, it outstrips humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to comprehend it. In other words, the computers get smarter than we are. This singularity was supposed to

happen in 2045. However, Kurzweil, along with other other super-smart guys like Stephen Hawking, Neil Tyson and Michio Kaku, are starting to revise that timeline, predicting that the singularity could come within 10-12 years. Look at it this way, currently our smartest robots are about equal to a cockroach in being able to think. In a decade, however, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be smarter than us. The question is, what will artificial intelligences do with their smarts? Consider this, there have been projects that have, in effect, taught robots how to lie. And military brain-trusts around the world have expressed interest in teaching drones similar skills in case they are captured by hostile forces in order to prevent them from giving up secrets like where they were launched from. If this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scare the hell out of you, you probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the situation. Now Kurzweil, and some other equally smart people seem to think that all of this could be a good thing, as microprocessors the size of blood cells could be implanted in human bodies giving us the capacity to keep up by putting all of human knowledge at our

brainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disposal. Keep in mind that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that long ago that people like the Gettys, the Fords, the Firestones and the Rockefellers thought it would be a good idea to burn fossil fuels with reckless abandon. What nobody advocating continuation of the current microprocessors advancement seems to put much thought into is: when machines gain the ability to think, what are they going to think about us? Do we think much about the aforementioned cockroaches before setting out a roach motel? Now obviously this topic has been explored by numerous science fiction authors and film-makers. Clearly the powers that be (i.e. the tech nerds that make robots and computers) must have seen the Terminator movies and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some Shaker, Quaker or Ludite philosophy. This is more like the North/South American native populations meeting European technology a few centuries ago. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out so well for the First Nations now did it? When John Prine sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;blow up your TV,â&#x20AC;? did he know more than we did?

Kingston purchases former Catholic school for public park By Bill Hutchins

News – There may be one upside to the ongoing closure of inner city schools in Kingston. Many of them could be converted into other community benefits such as parks and affordable housing. That scenario will soon unfold at the former St. Joseph/St. Mary School at Brock and Napier Streets. Kingston plans to convert the land into a new public park in a section of the city where space is at a premium. Councillors approved spending $2.25 million to purchase the mothballed Catholic elementary school. The vacant building will be demolished and the land will be converted into a public park. “This is a rare opportunity to add parkland in the core of the city,” said Coun. Jim Neill, who joined with other councillors to publicly endorse the purchase. Money for the school site will come from the cash-in-lieu-of-parkland reserve fund. Developers must contribute to the fund when they don’t have space to add parks in new or expanded building projects, such as apartment buildings. Coun. Neill says most of the fund has been

used to subsidize the creation of parks in the suburbs, but this time it’s central Kingston’s turn. “The city creates public parks in many new residential subdivisions, but it rarely happens in built-up parts of the city. And this will be our opportunity.” The aging St. Joseph/St. Mary elementary school, built in 1949 across the street from Churchill Park, was decommissioned last year and the handful of remaining Kindergarten to Grade 5 students were transferred to other schools. After closed-door negotiations, the city decided to purchase the aging red brick schoolhouse from the Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. The $2.25 million purchase price, disclosed at council during a recorded vote June 21, is just for the land purchase and school demolition. The city will have to earmark future capital funding to actually develop the land into green space. “It’s got some real potential. I would hope that we get a nice playground, possibly a splash pad, and expanded community garden,” explained Coun. Neill. He says a nearby community garden also has a long waiting list for planters, and the school property acquisition could accommo-

date some expanded gardening space. Coun. Neill hopes the city will take a similar approach with other schools that could soon be going on the market, such as First Avenue and Frontenac Public Schools. Both of those schools are slated to close for good this month and students will be relocated in the soon-to-open Molly Brant elementary

school. “There will be a number of schools that will be declared surplus. If they can’t be used for parks, they could be affordable housing sites,” explained Coun. Neill. A timetable and budget to develop the school into a park has not yet been determined.

Kingston will add extra icing onto Canada’s 150th birthday cake in 2017 By Bill Hutchins

News – This year’s Canada Day is just around the corner, but the City of Kingston is already making plans to boost the birthday budget when the nation turns 150 on July 1, 2017. “We all had a great opportunity to do community celebrations in 1967 with the centennial. Here we have a chance to update it at the 150

mark and look to the future,” explained cultural director Colin Wiginton. The city is planning to spend over $800,000 on local events, fixtures and activities during the milestone sesquicentennial year to “benefit the community in both the short and long term.” If approved by council, the enhanced municipal funding will support about a dozen city-organized or community-based projects ranging from

tree plantings, exhibits and commemorations to lighting up City Hall. A budget of $250,000 has been set aside to illuminate Kingston City Hall with multi-coloured LED lighting. Wiginton says other cities often light up their major architectural features, such as the CN Tower or the Eiffel Tower. “They become really great tourist attractions. The idea was how can we do something like that in Kingston? Obviously, City Hall lends itself to that.” The city plans to install or retrofit about 200 lights to light up the historic building in different colours to match different events. “What we are looking at is an updated LED lighting system that can be programmed using computers with a range of colour selections, so you can wash the whole building. Obviously in red and white for Canada 150. But you literally have millions of colour combinations.” Illuminating the 1840s building is one of many so-called “legacy” projects to coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations throughout the year. Some are included in the $831,000 budget while others already have their own spending envelope. The remaining 6.4 kilometre section of the K&P walking trail into the downtown will be completed at a cost of $3.4 million. It’s funded through a separate capital budget but is also considered a legacy project that’s scheduled to open by next July. Other Canada 150 projects will be designated as one-time events that will only take place next year. The birthday gift list is diverse: -plant 150 red maple trees to enhance the city’s urban forest, -present a travelling sesquicentennial exhibition to share untold stories about people, places,

events and ideas that illustrate the diversity and complexity of the City’s rich heritage, -expand city-led public events for New Year’s Day, Mayor’s Levee, First Capital Day and Canada Day, -partner with First Peoples to ‘engage in change.’ The six-figure budget, drawn mostly from reserve funds, went to council for approval June 23. Councillors had already set aside $175,000 for special events but could add another $656,000 boosting total municipal spending to $831,000. The overall birthday budget grows to $971,000 once partnership contributions from other organizations are factored in. Staff say the sesquicentennial programming will be patterned after the Sir John A. Macdonald birthday bicentennial in 2015. The strategy is to partner with community agencies to stage various events, while seeking government grants and other funding sources to help offset some of the taxpayer costs. “We were really successful with the Sir John A. Macdonald bicentennial opportunity for partnerships and sponsorships,” Wiginton added. The Canada 150 Fund, administered through the Department of Canadian Heritage, represents one potential source of funding related to Canada’s Sesquicentennial, according to staff. Councillors say investing in the sesquicentennial projects falls within their own strategic priorities as they relate to “planning a livable city” and “greening the city.” Coun. Jim Neill says he supports enhanced birthday spending, but wants to see more details. “I think it would be good if we find a way to do something special. Almost a million dollars? I’d like to see what that money would be getting.”

A reader and writer’s dream expo romance. Genre is about good story with writers like Jane Casey, Neil Gaiman, George R.R. Martin, Val McDermid, J.K. Rowling and Yrsa Sigurdardottir. When you combine good storytelling with elegant and literary writing skills you find authors like Stefanie Pintoff. Genre is responsible for 90% of fiction sales and has saved the publishing industry from annihilation. Literary critics have sometimes unfairly criticized genre fiction for being pure escapism. I’ve never understood that criticism. Someone considers this kind of escapism to be a bad thing? I’m a huge fan of the mystery/thriller genres and read every Stefanie Pintoff, Jane Casey, Jeffery Deaver and Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child (the pair writes

Frankly, I’d rather read a good story that captivates me through the night than something by someone who happens to have good vocabulary and no ability to craft a story. Storytelling is a rare gift. There will be an abundance of storytellers at the 2016 Limestone Genre Expo. One of the highlights of the Expo will be the presence of First Nations author Jay Odjick. A writer and artist from Kitigan Zivi Anishinabeg Algonquin Nation in Quebec, Odjick is an executive producer for the Aboriginal People’s Television Network’s (APTN) Kagagi series, based on his Kagagi graphic novel. On July 23, there will be a two-hour moderated (by Derek Newman-Stille) conversation about

Their works are as mesmerizing through their wordsmith skills as by the plot and character development. These authors have created some of the most fascinating sleuths since Sherlock Holmes. For Pintoff it’s early 20th century NYC detective Simon Zeale. Jane Casey brilliantly crafted London detective Maeve Kerrigan. Deaver gave readers NYPD Detective Amelia Sachs and Lincoln Rhyme, a former police detective who is now a police forensic consultant as well as a quadriplegic following an on-the-job accident as a cop. Preston/Child created Aloysius Pendergast, one of the quirkiest and most fascinating F.B.I. agents ever to walk the planet.

The Limestone Genre Expo returns to Kingston on July 23 and 24. Now in its second year, the event has doubled in size and duration from last year’s inaugural program. The 2016 Expo will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library Central Branch at 130 Johnson Street. More than 50 genre authors will be on site running workshops, appearing on panels and offering readings. “It’s bigger than last year,” said Festival

Director Liz Strange. “Probably the number one complaint we had last year was that it was only one day long. So with two days this year, we have more authors and publishers coming. There’s something for everyone, whether writers or readers. There are good workshops for aspiring writers.” What constitutes genre fiction? Essentially, the genre author appeals to a specific literary interest. Storytelling, rather than word manipulation, is key. Plot is essential. The most popular genres are mystery, thriller, crime, horror (think Stephen King), science fiction, fantasy (the realm of Harry Potter) and romance. There is also children’s literature and young adult fiction. Each of these categories has numerous sub-genres. For example, there are crime thrillers (The Godfather), dystopian fantasy or YA (Hunger Games), and Gothic

This is the first time that Queen’s has run a camp program like this and Powley is hoping that there is enough interest in the community. “So far, our first camp is almost full and the second has a number of spots left,” she said. “The sad thing we noticed though, as the camps filled up, is that we have only about three girls out of 32 participants registered.” SATURDAY The lack of female interest is an ongoing problem within the field of computer science and generally DOWNTOWNBROCKVILLE.COM speaking, only about 15 per cent of undergraduates in the field are female.

Over the course of the week, participants will learn about app and game design, creative computing and web development, but they will also learn about problem solving and math. “Computer science can be really helpful for other subjects and it can also help teens gain independence,” said group member Suchita Ganasen. “It is like a super power. Rather than asking someone to do coding for

you, you can do it yourself and see results instantly in the computer. It is empowering.” Overall, the camp aims to get teens excited about computing and teach them that there are many opportunities within the field. “Combining computing with any filed is beneficial,” said Powley. “Not everyone needs to be a computer scientist, but they should be exposed to the field and they should know that it is out there for them to choose as a career.” The Queen’s Ignite coding camps take place the weeks of July 11 to 15 or July 25 to 29 at Walter Light Hall on Queen’s campus and are free to all participants.

Her fiction uses ecological premises to explore social issues; Setting as Character with Rob Brunet will look at how to craft realistic settings in a story and how a setting can influence a story; in How to Write Romance Novels & Find Your Market with Mary Sullivan and Ann Lethbridge, participants will be given a glimpse into the romance book world from an industry insider’s perspective.

With admission prices in advance at $45 for a two day pass or $25 for a oneday, it’s a great deal for anyone interested in literature. “Everything is included,” said Strange. “All the workshops, the readings, everything.

‘We are safe here, we have no fear, and we are free’: Kingston’s refugees share their stories with the community By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Since last summer, over 70 people have come to Kingston as refugees. Many fled terrible situations and some were forced to leave their families and friends behind; but now, they call Kingston home. To learn more about these refugees and others who have come to Kingston, KEYS Job Centre, Immigrant Services Kingston and Area (ISKA) at Kingston Community Health Centres (KCHC), the Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL) and Live Wire Music Series, hosted ‘Refugee Voices from Around the World’ on June 20. The event invited five refugees to share their stories and invited community members

to come and learn more about some of the newcomers in Kingston. “It is important to raise awareness about the situations refugees face,” said Asmaa Najibi, who led discussions throughout the event. “Tonight honours the courage, strength, and determination of women, men and children forced to flee their homeland and persecution, conflict and violence.” The event, which coincided with World Refugee Day, featured speakers from various parts of the world including Burundi, Pakistan, Syria and Myanmar. Each speaker took the stage at the Central branch of the KFPL and shared their story with nearly 200 community members. Some of the speakers came to Canada a number of years ago, while others, like Hus-

But he also remembers how happy they all were when they learned they were coming to Canada. Now, he has new friends and is an active member of the ISKA multi-cultural youth group. “I found new friends and established new connections and now we have a new home in

Canada,” he said. “One of the things I love about Canada is seeing Canadians helping each other and seeing how the people of Kingston helped us. I just want to thank everyone.” This message of thanks was repeated throughout the evening and was emphasized by Lertapaw Eh, a refugee from Myanmar who came to Canada as a refugee in 2006 after spending many years in a refugee camp in Thailand. “Before the camp, my family was on the run every day to survive,” she said. “It wasn’t easy to survive. We all wondered who would be next to die, even when I was young I was worried.” Eh and her family travelled to a refugee camp when she was 12, but life in the camp was still hard. “I was still wishing for freedom. I became a teacher in the refugee camp and we didn’t have enough food, water or health care,” she said. “But I never gave up because I knew one day I would be free.” That day came in 2006 when, as a result of church sponsorship, Eh

came to Canada with her two-year old daughter. “People in the camp kept asking how I would survive without a husband, but I didn’t want to think about that. I just wanted my freedom,” she said.

We are safe here, we have no fear, and we are free.” Eh’s story, like the others throughout the night, resonated with those in the audience, including Najibi and she hopes they will have an impact on the broader community too. “We have all heard about the situations in these countries, but to hear these firsthand accounts gives us a new perspective,” she said. “We really appreciate hearing these inspiring stories and hearing the impact Nearly 200 Kingstonians gathered at the central branch of the KFPL on June 20 for Refugee Voices Kingston has made on these lives.” from Around the World.

Flag raised for ‘Loyalist Day in Kingston’ Submitted by UELAC

On June 12, 1784, Governor Frederic Haldimand received at Quebec the following proclamation from King George III: “His Majesty approves the plan you have proposed for settling some of the Loyalists at Cataraqui and places adjacent.” According to the late historian Larry Turner, “Previous settlements comprised of colonial officials, soldiers and Indian agents at Niagara and Detroit are regarded as strategic bases rather than permanent communities and Haldimand’s decision ... [to settle the Loyalists at Cataraqui] was the spark that transformed the wilderness peninsula north of Lake Ontario and Erie” - Allegiance: the Ontario Story For the past decade, the Kingston and District Branch

of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada has celebrated “Loyalist Day in Kingston” each June 12 by raising the George III flag on the city flagpole opposite City Hall. About a dozen members of the local Branch, accompanied by a fife and drum unit of the Fort Henry Guard, and special guest Deputy Mayor Richard Allen – and dozens of excited tourists – watched as the Loyalist flag was raised. The George III flag lacks the diagonal red stripes within the white stripes found on the present Union Jack, since Ireland had not yet been added to the United Kingdom at the time of the American Revolution. The United Empire Loyalists were those who fought on the side of the Crown during the American Revolution, and afterward moved to what would become Canada. They included Germans, English,

UHKF honours â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;extraordinaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; donors By Mandy Marciniak

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On June 22, University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) celebrated generosity at their Celebration of Giving event. The annual event recognizes the contributions that have been made to the foundation, and Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals, over the past year and this year, they had lots to celebrate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had a wonderful year,â&#x20AC;? said Denise Cumming, executive director of UHKF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the launch of our new campaign, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Extraordinary People, Innovative Health Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the completion of a few major fundraising projects and the launch of some exciting programs in our hospitals, we have been very busy.â&#x20AC;? The event invites community members, staff, and, most important, donors, to come and learn more about the projects that are ongoing with the hospitals and the campaigns that have been successful. This year, it was all about Providence Care. Cathy Szabo, president and CEO of Providence Care, explained that the new hospital is on track and will open in 304 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited and I am sure you all are too,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

even suggested we hold this event in our new hospital next year.â&#x20AC;? In addition to an update on each hospital, the event also recognized some generous donors with awards. This year, the Davies Award for Philanthropy was presented to both an individual and a group. The prestigious award recognizes individuals, organizations and community groups that have demonstrated outstanding philanthropic leadership benefiting Kingston and the provision of healthcare for the people of Kingston and southeastern Ontario. Tim Davies was on hand to present the awards and he was happy to recognize the A-3 Lions District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;District A-3 has contributed more than $330,000 to Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals since 2009,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The clubs were among the donors who contributed to the new MRI for KGH and one club even donated the money from the sale of their hall to support this initiative.â&#x20AC;? Janet Marrisen, district governor was on hand to accept the award and while she was happy to accept, she was also humble about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our motto is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we serveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that is what we all strive to do in big and small ways,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very proud for this recognition. Each club does what they are able to do

Britton Smith accepted the Davies Award for Philanthropy at the UHKF Celebration of Giving on June 22. Photo/Mandy Marciniak and together we try to make a difference.â&#x20AC;? The Davies award was also presented to Britton Smith, the single most generous donor in the history of the hospitals. Smith donated $3 million to the MRI campaign at KGH earlier this year and he was also very humble about accepting

his award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have state medicine and theoretically our health needs should be provided by the government, but there are a lot of holes in that safety net and it is people like the volunteers and other organizations who work quietly to fill the gaps,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t volunteer myself so what I can do is maybe give a little money here and there as my contribution.â&#x20AC;? Smith thanked his employees at Homestead Land Holdings for helping him make contributions over the years. The event also recognized local surgeon Dr. Martin ten Hove with the Ian Wilson Award for Volunteerism. Wilson himself presented the award and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about ten Hove and his work in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He donated a significant gift to the Together We Can campaign and then he made it even more special by asking the colleagues in his department to do likewise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they did,â&#x20AC;? said Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collectively they made a tremendous gift and this is the kind of leadership that he provides to others in the hospital and to us in the community.â&#x20AC;? Dr. ten Hove, was happy to accept and encouraged others in the

Love of speed skating leads County communications officer to Rio Olympics By Craig Bakay

News — Frontenac County Communications Officer Marco Smits will be off to Rio de Janeiro this summer to work as a researcher for NBC. This will be Smits’ fourth Olympics, having previously worked for CTV at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics as well as working in

CTV’s Toronto studio for the London 2012 Olympics and in TSN’s Toronto studio for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games. And it all started with speed skating in his native Netherlands. “It (speed skating) was by birthright,” he said. “(Canadian speed skater) Gaetan Boucher and (American) Eric Heiden are big heroes there.”

Sports in general has always been Smits’ passion. He spent four years at the University of Physical Education and Sports Sciences in Amsterdam. After emigrating to Canada, he freelanced as a sports reporter for several publications including The Review-Mirror in Westport and covered two Stanley Cups for European publications. But speed skating continued to be a first love even to the point of him organizing and serving as the first president of Skate the Lake on the Big Rideau. “I love to skate in nature,” he said. “In fact, there are many excellent places to skate outdoors in Frontenac County, especially around our cottage near Plevna.” It was during the lead-up to the Vancouver games when he noticed the Olympic Rings logo during televised sporting events and thought he’d take a shot at getting involved. “I had a media guide from covering the NHL, made a phone call and got in touch with the right person,” he said. That led to an interview, sitting in the very chair Catriona Lemay-Doan had sat in the day before. Soon thereafter he was working with Lemay-Doan as a researcher for the speed skating events. That led to the 2012 assignment where he did research for various aquatic events including swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming. He doesn’t yet know exactly what his assignment in Rio will be, only that he’ll be

But whatever his assignment is, like most sports reporters, he’ll be fine with it and give it everything he’s got, even if that turns out to be his fluency in Dutch ad/or his familiarity with the European sports culture. “In my heart, I’m a sports reporter even if I’m not actively employed in it,” he said. “That’s evident by reading my Twitter account.”

Local carpenter takes on container living By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Chris Gyuk has been working as a trained carpenter for more than a decade in the Kingston area. Through his business, Dynamic Carpentry, he has renovated kitchens and bathrooms, built decks and refinished basements; but with his latest project he decided to build an entire home – inside a shipping container. “I have always been interested in sustainability both environmentally and economically. I was researching tiny homes and small spaces and I thought I would give it a try,” he explained. “I liked the idea that a shipping container is recycled and you could be really creative in such a small space.” Over the past several months, Gyuk has been working inside a 140 square foot shipping container. He purchased the container in Gananoque, had it delivered to his property in Odessa and he has been working to make it a home ever since. Now that the home is completed, he

is showing it off in the hopes of attracting a buyer. “The main room is 16 feet by seven feet and everything is framed and insulated with spray foam. The ceiling is also insulated with spray foam and batt insulation as well,” he explained. “It is fairly cool in the summer and warm in the winter.” The container is surprisingly quite roomy inside and is large enough for a futon in the main room and a tiny electric fireplace. There is also room for a small The shipping container before. Photo/Submitted fridge, sink and counter off to the side. Gyuk has also taken extra care to make the flooring and ceiling as nice as possible, giving the place what he hopes, is a homey feel. “It has oak hardwood flooring and the ceiling is all pine,” he explained. “There is also a tiny room off the main room that could be used for a compost or flush toilet depending on the use of the container.” Continued on page 3

Local carpenter takes on container living Continued from page 2

Gyuk is selling the container for $24,000 plus tax and delivery and he thinks the space would be perfect for cottagers looking to expand. “This is kind of set up as a cottage bunky, so if someone already has a cottage and they want to add to it or if they want a little out building as a guest house, they could buy this instead of going through the process of having something built,” he said. “You buy this, plug it into an extension cord and hook it up to a garden hose and you are ready. It is like a trailer without wheels, but a bit fancier.” Gyuk has had some interest in the container so far, but mostly just from friends. “When I put it on Facebook a lot of my friends wanted to see it just out of interest and that has been the case with other people too.” He hopes that actual buyers will be interested, too, especially considering there is nowhere to

buy units like this in the area. “There is nothing really local that you can go see,” he said. “There are a lot of photos and ideas on Pinterest, but nothing concrete and nothing designed for Canadian climates.” The process to convert the container took some time, but with his experience, Gyuk found the actual construction was the easiest part. “I planned a lot and had to do some problem solving in terms of the insulation and the doors and windows,” he said. “I wanted to get it right.” In the end, he is happy with the ﬁnished product and he would even consider living in something similar himself. “I would live in something similar to this. I would probably do a 40 foot container or two 20 foot containers side by side,” he said. “But I think I could do it.” To contact Gyuk aobut his container home email him at chris@dynamiccarpentry.ca or call 613-985-8347.

Man allegedly refuses to share downtown bench with elderly woman, assaults person who comes to her defense yelling, shouting and swearing at the woman. A 66-year-old man who was nearby and heard the verbal tirade from the accused attempted to intervene. The accused then struck the man in the side of the neck. A nearby panhandler intervened and the accused left south on Bagot Street on a bicycle. A nearby Kingston Police officer on foot patrol was advised by witnesses of what just occurred and a description of the accused was put over the radio to arrest on reason-

COACH & TOURS

able grounds of assault. A patrol officer in a cruiser observed the accused on the bicycle in the area of Johnson Street and Bagot Street. He was stopped and arrested without incident. While searching the accused a small amount of crystal methamphetamine was found in his backpack. He was transported to police headquarters to attend a bail hearing the following day. He is charged with Assault, Causing a Disturbance and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

Woman involved in collision blows three times over legal limit, charged with impaired: Police A 56-year-old local woman who rear-ended another vehicle in the west end of Kingston had approximately three times the legal limit of alcohol in her system, say Kingston Police. Just before 8 p.m. on June 22 the male driver of a Mini Cooper, who was travelling south on Centennial Drive approaching Taylor Kidd Boulevard, was struck from behind by a female driver of a Jeep. After pulling into the parking lot of a nearby gas station at the intersection,

the male driver observed signs of impairment from the female driver and called Kingston Police. The patrol officer who attended also saw signs of intoxication by alcohol and arrested the woman for impaired driving. She was transported to police headquarters where a qualified breach technician determined she was approximately three times over the legal limit of 80 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood. She was addi-

tionally charged with Driving in Excess of the Legal Limit of Alcohol and later released on a Promise to Appear (PTA) with a future court date. The accused’s driver’s licence is automatically suspended for 90 days and would face a one year suspension if convicted. The vehicle was seized and impounded for seven days, with the accused being responsible for all fees and fines.

Two charged with assault after incident outside Princess Street coffee shop Kingston Police report that a late night encounter in a coffee shop between two groups of friends went sour early in the morning of June 24, leading to charges of assault against two Kingston men. Shortly after midnight, one group of friends was approached by two men in an upper Princess Street coffee shop. A female in the group did not appreciate the attention, and uttered a derogatory slur toward one of the men. The two men left, and walked a short distance away to a bench in the 700 block of Princess Street. As the other group of males and females left the coffee shop walking east on Princess Street, one the other male on the bench (victim) caught their attention, and offered an obscene gesture. The men walking with the women (suspects) then chased the victim into a parking lot. While

being chased, the victim fell to the ground. The two accused men then began to kick the victim as he lay on the ground, unable to defend himself. The assault ended when the two accused ran away to catch up with their female companions. The victim was treated by paramedics, and taken to hospital as a precaution. His injuries were not believed to be serious. Two Kingston men, 21, and 19 years of age respectively, were later arrested and released on a Promise to Appear at a later date. Both will be charged with one count of assault. This matter is still under investigation, and anyone who witnessed this incident or believes they have information that may assist the investigation may contact Cst. Aaron Crawford at 613-549-4660 ext. 6376 or by email at acrawford@kpf.ca.

Kingston woman charged with assaulting a police officer A 59-year-old woman has been charged with assaulting a Kingston Police officer who had originally attended to check on the welfare of her child. Police report that at approximately 9:30 p.m. on June 22 the female uniform patrol officer attended a Johnson Street address in regards to a pre-teen child who had gone to a next door neighbour’s house as she was concerned for and fearful of her intoxicated mother. The officer first spoke to the neighbour and upset child, and then entered the adjacent residence to discover the woman passed out in front of the television. The officer woke up the intoxicated woman, who almost immediately became aggres-

sive towards her, challenging why the police were in her home and believing her daughter was safely upstairs in her room. The woman then struck the officer, grabbed her body armour and the two fell to the kitchen floor. A brief struggle ensued and the woman was eventually arrested and handcuffed. She was transported to police headquarters and lodged in cells to attend a bail hearing the following day to answer to the charge of Assault Police. Family and Children’s Service of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington were contacted and took the child into their care until it could be determined if a suitable out of town family member could assume temporary custody.

Car crashes through glass railing at Royal George residences A male in his 20s was fortunate to escape injury when he crashed his vehicle through a metal glass railing at the Royal George residences on 5 Gore St. Thursday afternoon. The male was attempting to park his pristine Toyota Camry at around 1:30 p.m. when he inadvertently crashed through the railing, causing him and his vehicle to fall about a metre onto the greenery below.

ENCHANTÉ

A bewitching beast

Mark Bergin COLUMNIST

@markaidanbergin In near darkness, a wolf slinks into the barren scene, picking up a scent. Meandering, he senses something then moves front and centre, staring. His eyes pierce the darkness, searching for prey. This is not a forest or a far off wilderness, but a Broadway stage. The Walter Kerr Theatre, which seats 975, people, is as silent as a mortuary. One can taste the silence, the darkness and foreboding. It happens after intermission, shortly into Act II of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, a story set in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, as relevant in today’s persecutory Trump world as it was when Miller wrote it in reaction to the 1950s witch-hunts of McCarthyism. The only sound: gasps from the audience. Some are noticeably uncomfortable, especially during the wolf’s extended stare out into the pack facing him. The first time I watched the performance was from a location a few rows from the stage, in the space toward which the wolf stared. That was an intense moment. Much is unsettling about this production, starting from the opening curtain when, instead of Puritan garb, we see a classroom with girls in modern day school uniforms, fluorescent lights flickering above. That timelessness amplifies the terror. The use of the wolf on stage has its desired effect. The audience is painfully unsettled. Even if you know the play intimately, no one expects this. Dark moments are ahead for the residents of Salem, Massachusetts. This production of The Crucible “reawakens our imagination to horror” says Jesse Green of New York Magazine. The New York Times tells audiences: “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” They aren’t exaggerating.

It’s a different story backstage, where the wolf acts the big goof, 78 pounds of pure silliness. He’s particularly fond of the adolescent girls in the cast, since that’s the pack he’s used to. He’s on loan from a loving family, which includes teen girls, in Seattle. Behind the scenes, the girls of The Crucible, like the wolf, are no longer in character. They can be as silly as the beast is goofy. I tell one of them (I won’t embarrass her by naming her) that I loved her performance. She giggles, looking even younger than her years, and blushes, then thanks me. The greatest shock is that the creature that terriﬁes the audience is not a wolf; he’s ofﬁcially a member of Canis lupus familiaris, i.e., a domestic dog. His is a rare breed, Tamaskan (Tamaska means mighty wolf), which hauntingly resembles the wolf, despite not having any wolf in its breeding past. This is a relief, as keeping any wild animal in captivity for human enjoyment or entertainment is quite simply cruel. Wolves themselves are greatly misunderstood creatures. There is no such thing as a big, bad wolf. As for the domestic Tamaskan dog, well, he takes the role to the opposite extreme. The Broadway Tamaskan star is Luchta. He doesn’t hunt bison or chew on bloody bones off stage. In fact, his favorite toy is a stuffed green alligator. Seriously. Immediately after meeting this creature, I have to know more. I discover that the Tamaskan breed is originally from Finland. There are very few of the dogs in North America. I search and discover there is only one legitimate breeder in Canada (there are two more working on accreditation), and to my pleasant surprise I learn that the breeder lives in Kingston. Aside from the fact that I don’t believe in fate, this story was clearly meant to be. According to the National Tamaskan Club of Canada, there are only 38 legitimate, registered Tamaskan dogs in all of Canada, and about 600 in the world. The club notes that there are puppy mills grinding out fake Tamaskan puppies at an alarming rate. The names of these unethical puppy mills are

ENCHANTÉ Tremblay is gentle but firm with her dogs, the wolf-like Sharayah and her all-white pup, Nivea. The dogs sit off-leash with the dancers. Posing is another issue. Just as they are in the perfect position, one of them (the dogs, not the dancers) rolls onto her back, hopefully tempting someone to play with her or rub her tummy. It doesn’t take long to learn that the information about the Tamaskan being a poor guard dog is true. I’ve rarely met such playful and gentle dogs, especially ones that large. Mind you, they are bred and trained by Tremblay, who is a qualified dog trainer, so,

of course, these aren’t your average out-ofcontrol family pets. Still, there is a gentleness about these creatures. According to the International Register, the Tamaskan’s “movement should be light and balanced, but powerful and flowing. Should be able to cover a massive amount of ground.” Despite their size and wild appearance, the Tamaskan tends toward friendliness. Information from the international organization notes: “This leads them to not making a good guard dog unless licking someone to death is the idea you have for protection.” Are there issues to be aware of? Of course, like any dog, they have their quirks. With their pack orientation and sensitivity to those

over the age of 8 years; not allowing any female to have her first litter over the age of 5 years; not breeding a female more than once a year, nor allowing any female to produce more than 5 litters during her lifetime. You will never find a real Tamaskan for sale in a pet store anywhere in the world. If you see one in a pet store, that’s fraud. One of the requirements of accredited Tamaskan breeders is that they “not sell any puppy to a commercial outlet such as pet store, puppy farm, or puppy broker.” In contrast, a puppy mill owner doesn’t worry about how many litters a female has in a year or her lifetime. Avoid them like the plague. If you want to learn about puppy mills, watch the horrifying documentary Madonna of the Mills (madonnaofthemills.com). If you want to see the production of The Crucible I’ve mentioned, because of actors’ film schedules it’s on a short run and ends on July 17. But it’s well worth a trip to NYC. I can’t imagine there ever being a better production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible than this one. Saoirse Ronan, a sweetheart by any measure, is utterly demonic as Abigail Williams in The Crucible; Ciarán Hinds as Deputy Governor Danforth is painfully relentless; Ben Whishaw as John Proctor is tormented (largely by Abigail). There is not a weak moment on the stage, and each actor (and Luchta, the Tamaskan) brings passion to every scene. For more information about The Crucible, visit thecrucibleonbroadway.com. To learn about the Tamaskan dog, go to tamaskan-dog. ca or the international Tamaskan Dog Register at tamaskan-dog.org. Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

around them, they can suffer from separation anxiety and may do better with someone who works at home as opposed to spending long hours alone each day. They can also be stubborn, so the Tamaskan needs to learn its place in the pack (which applies to most dogs), something you do not want to happen. The human has to maintain pack leader status. The only way for a relationship with the Tamaskan to work is for the human to be higher in the pack order. The Tamaskan needs to be challenged with physical and mental (they are highly intelligent) exercise. Not trying to scare anyone off, just hoping to prevent any need for a Tamaskan having to enter a rescue or re-homing situation. Like Jack Russell terriers (two of which live with me), this is probably not the best beast for a first-time dog owner. They are recommended for confident owners who are positive and persistent in their training. The key with a pack animal like this is their desire to be included. So include them as much as possible in everything you do. Be aware that they have a heightened prey drive, so they need to learn early not to chase other animals. You know, like “Squirrel!” But they are not total over-the-top idiots (said fondly) like my JRTs. Due to their personality and resemblance to wolves, these dogs are going to skyrocket in popularity. This, sadly, will be prime territory for puppy mills trying to rake in a profit. Legitimate breeders follow intense and strict guidelines. A few of the requirements for Tamaskan breeders include: having all dogs DNA profiled prior to breeding; not breeding any female before the age of 18 months, or

INSTALLS DESIGN & INSTALLATION

BEAUTIFUL & FUNCTIONAL

WE CAN DESIGN AND INSTALL YOUR DREAM KITCHEN OR BATHROOM.

The money raised by the Kingston & District Civitan Club, a volunteer organization that supports people with disabilities, has already been put to use by purchasing a specialized stroller for a child with cerebral palsy. The stroller allows the two-year old to be positioned properly for feeding and to aid in his overall development.

“I actually came to Hotel Dieu to apply for a volunteer position,” said Mortlock. “But when I discovered the CDC I knew that we had to have a fundraiser for them.” Civitan is an international organization dedicated to helping people with developmental disorders. Recently, when leaders of the local branch of the club were introduced to the staff of the CDC, they were inspired to raise money by raffling off a Martin guitar, which was donated by Renaissance Music. “It is the mission of UHKF to inspire generosity for our patients, our region, and beyond,” adds Coull. “This gift is a true example of that mission in action.”

We have our own on-staff installers!

Harry with the Heaves held a special place in Mary’s heart My brother Emerson said I wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to the farm animals. Except for the cows, which I wasn’t too fond of, I wanted all the others for pets. Emerson said if I had any brains, I would know that you didn’t raise livestock for pets. Eventually, they would go off to market, or end up in the smoke house! But I tended to put those thoughts out of my mind. Even after my pet black lamb ended up on the supper table one night, sending me into hysterics and turning me against lamb for the rest of my life, I still thought I could make pets out of the farm animals.

Even though I wasn’t too fond of the cows, I loved the calves. It was no chore for me to feed a sickly calf from a bottle, until it was able to feed itself. Holding a screeching baby pig, with its soft body feeling like that of a real live baby, filled me with the utmost joy. And then there was poor old Harry with the Heaves. He was never called just plain Harry. It was Harry with the Heaves. Harry was a horse that had been around the farm long before I was born, and I loved him with a passion. Apart from the heaves, he had a sway where you could rest a couple bags of grain if you were so moved, and that was why he had the heaves, Father said. Harry with the Heaves was no longer able to do any farm work, and my sister Audrey said the only reason he was still kept around, was because Father knew how much I loved the poor old horse. He didn’t eat much, which maybe helped too.

Harry with the Heaves didn’t move around like the other horses, preferring to stand at the fence behind the barn, resting his head on the rails. Every day I would put a halter on him, and walk him very slowly around the barnyard. We wouldn’t be gone a dozen steps, when the heaves would start. They seemed to come right from his hooves. And I would stop and let him heave away until the spasm passed, and then we would walk around another few steps, with his head getting lower and lower to the ground. The few times we hitched him to the buggy, it was like we were giving him a new lease on life. There were strict orders from Father not to run Harry with the Heaves...just let him move at his own pace, which wasn’t very fast. But I could tell he loved pulling the buggy. And we would circle the barnyard a couple times, until he could no longer breathe

easily. But it was enough to make the old horse feel he was needed, even if we really weren’t going anywhere. Other sickly animals would just disappear, and I knew perfectly well what their fate was. But Harry with the Heaves lived on, contributing nothing to the work load of the other horses, just living day by day with his condition getting worse right before my eyes. And then one day, when I came home from school, I couldn’t see Harry with the Heaves anywhere. I thought he may have wandered into the field behind the barn, but no, he wasn’t there. I may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer, just like my brother Emerson said, but no one had to tell me that Harry with the Heaves wouldn’t be around any more. Nothing was said about his missing. Not a word from Father, the brothers...no one said a word. He was just gone. And I knew, without anyone telling me,

that my beloved horse was no more. Not a word was spoken about his end. It was as if Harry with the Heaves had never existed. A deep sadness came over me. My horse was gone. Like so many disappointments, and sad happenings on the farm, there was no discussion…no explanation. It was thought the less said the better. I cried for Harry with the Heaves only when I was alone. And I prayed wherever he had gone, he would be hale and hearty, running around with other horses, eating the finest hay and oats, his back in shape, and the heaves a thing of the past. To ease the pain in my heart, I had to believe it. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

22 Kingston/Frontenac Section B - Thursday, June 30, 2016

This buddy film may be terrible, but it’s hilarious

Central Intelligence is an absolute train wreck. Oh but what a glorious train wreck it is. In high school Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) was the top athlete, top student, liked by everyone, and voted most likely to succeed. Robbie Weirdicht (Dwayne Johnson) on the other hand was known as Fat Robbie. I think that pretty much sums up high school for Mr. Weirdicht. It’s 20 years later, and their high school reunion is looming. Calvin isn’t inclined to go. He’s feeling that maybe he peaked in high school, and as an accountant he hasn’t lived up to expectations. Then from out of the blue he gets a friend request from a Bob Stone. It turns out that Bob Stone is Robbie Weirdicht, and Fat Robbie is now 260 plus pounds of rock hard muscle. The two spend the evening catching up, and while Bob can’t believe he’s hanging out with the coolest kid in school, Calvin can’t believe how much Robbie has changed. It’s a great night, but Bob had other motives than just reminiscing. It turns out Bob works for the CIA. He’s been tracking an international terrorist called the Black

Badger who has stolen America’s top secret satellite codes. He needs Calvin’s forensic accounting skills to help him track down a bidding site where the Badger is selling the codes. At this point it’s hard to say which is funnier, Bob’s crazed look or the look of fear and horror on Calvin’s face. Needless to say from here hilarity ensues.

over-the-top it enters the realm of the absurd, yet you can’t look away. It’s almost like the film overpowers your better judgment until you give up and start laughing. Amy Ryan who plays Pamela Harris the CIA agent chasing Bob, and Danielle Nicolet who plays Calvin’s wife Maggie are great. The truth however is this is pretty much the Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart show. Unlikely pairings are big right now, and this one is pretty unlikely. Johnson redefines over-the-top with Bob. He goes from hero worship of Calvin and loving unicorns to jumping out of buildings and extreme acts of violence in the blink of an eye. It’s almost too much to take, and yet I still found myself laughing. Hart on the other hand is the straight man in the duo playing scared silly better than anyone. The two together have a unique chemistry, and while it’s hard to put my finger on why it works, it totally works. Central Intelligence is a terrible movie, and I loved every minute of it. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

MOVIE: Central Intelligence STARRING: Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Amy Ryan and Danielle Nicolet DIRECTOR: Rawson Marshall Thurber RATING: PG I’ve talked before about those rare bad movies that are good. Terrible movies that are so much fun to watch. They’re usually a happy accident, and I think that’s what we have here. Central Intelligence is a buddy comedy with Dwayne Johnson dragging Kevin Hart from one life threatening situation to the next. It’s so
