Big Dig 3 reaches milestone with Princess Street’s reopening By Bill Hutchins

News – The New Year was just a few days old when crews started Kingston’s costliest and most disruptive road construction project of the year. But there is light at the end of the road. The high-profile downtown project, dubbed Big Dig 3, has now reached a much-anticipated milestone with the promised reopening of lower Princess Street for the first time in six months. “Traffic will be flowing again on Princess Street. We are going to meet our contractual obligations,” said Dan Corcoran, president of Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd., the contractor hired to complete the Big Dig. Corcoran admits his crews were cutting it close to the June 30 deadline to “substantially complete” the reconstruction of three large blocks of Princess Street, between Bagot and Clergy Streets. “It really is tight. We’re going to finish the paving with just half a day to spare.” He says unforeseen weather and construction delays left crews From left, Maggie Hiscock, Bianca Campbell, Hana Turcke, Amber Billingsley and Andie working flat out, including Saturdays, to meet the promised deadSiemens perform in the recent dress rehearsal for the 5678 Dance Studio’s year end pro- line. “As is the case with any old

infrastructure there’s always a few surprises.” While the winter weather was relatively mild, Corcoran says reconstructing the downtown’s main street was difficult due to the sheer age of the buried infrastructure and a lack of detailed drawings. “Some of the underground pipes had no as-built drawings to guide us. And we had some gas pipes going in strange directions.” As for the recent summer work, the biggest slowdown came from the occasional outburst of heavy rain that flooded the excavated sites. “The torrential downpours were killers. Other than that the biggest water problem is keeping enough water bottles on site to hydrate our workers.” On a typical day, an estimated 60 to 70 construction workers are working on the project that has kept traffic off the normally bustling street. The impact was felt by merchants. “There was obviously a business impact. Sales suffered. But it was survivable,” said Ed Smith, chair of the downtown business association. However, Smith says he hasn’t heard of any merchant that’s planning to go out of business due to the Big Dig.

Sections of Princess Street are still a work in progress this summer. Crews will need to install granite curbs, red bricks at intersection crossings and add a second layer of pavement. The $12.9 million infrastructure work started in early January to replace aging underground pipes, including a century-old stone sewer box buried down the middle of Princess Street. “I’m so proud of our troops for staying focused on the big picture,” said Corcoran, who also thanked merchants for their patience. “We all realize this work had to be done. Some short-term pain for long-term gain,” agreed Smith, who also owns Windmills Café in the heart of the construction zone. By most accounts, many businesses lost profits and had to scale back on staffing levels due to traffic detours and fewer customers in the storefront-to-storefront construction zone. But many also have words of praise for the contractor, who provided street greeters to ensure pedestrians could still safely navigate the maze of protective fencing and construction equipment.

Something to think about.. waiting for the ferry Island ‘Round Up’ on July 2 and 3. The notice reminded us that the trailers coming for the ‘Roundup’ would begin arriving on the Friday a.m. ferry throughout the remainder of the day, with one given priority each trip from Kingston, and on the Sunday the ferry would be busy transporting trailers home. Much more was planned for the weekend with a “Dance under the Rink Roof,” our wonderful winter skating facility with ‘Little California’ slated to play. And of course on Sunday July 3rd there is the Annual 37th Wolfe Island Classic 5-10 k road race which will draw hundreds of people to the island, all encouraged to leave behind cars (if they can) and to walk onto the

By Margaret Knott

Recently Wolfe Islanders received a notice from the township in their mail boxes, issued June 27, about the upcoming long weekend, commencing with Canada Day on Friday July 1, and the events that that will take place on the island that will be over when you read this. The reason for the notice, while extolling the events, had more to do with the ferry service and what we were to expect as a result. It called for our patience during the busy weekend and for all to enjoy what the weekend had to offer. The Canada Weekend is to include a ‘Pancake Breakfast’ on Canada Day, itself July 1st, and the 3rd annual Wolfe

ferry that lands in Marysville where the race begins. And of course it is also the American long weekend which means friends and family coming to their island cottages from far and wide via the Wolfe Islander III and via Horne’s Ferry from Cape Vincent. Also on the same date June 27th, a notice was issued about ferry boarding etiquette particularly when travelling from Wolfe Island to Kingston. On Wolfe Island, Marysville’s delineated ferry line extends along the northerly limits of Road #96 and is identified for the exclusive use of vehicles waiting to board the ferry. Vehicles are not to block driveways or intersections and are required to pull up to pavement hash

marks directly behind the last vehicle in line closest to the front of the ferry line leaving no space vacant for someone to slip into. Summer students direct ferry traffic in the line. However, the line up is not visible from one end to the other and requires the cooperation of all who join it at its northerly end, wherever it is . The exceptions of course are medical emergencies and specific boarding priorities. Expectations were high following last summer’s ferry service crisis and late return of the Wolfe Islander to Marysville. So with the importance of summer for tourism, business and development to Wolfe Island, the island welcomes tourists, guests, travellers and work-

ers, coming and going whether by car, bike, walking , or service vehicle in ever increasing numbers causing some delay and longer wait times. What was forgotten since then, is that we lacked ferry capacity with the Wolfe Islander long before last summer, (initiating the present WI docking and ferry EA), and we are lacking capacity so much more Now… Amherst Island has been promised a new ferry sooner than later. Maybe when that happens the Frontenac II could operate along with the Wolfe Islander III to provide some of that much needed extra capacity for the Island. In the mean time, expect delays, be patient, listen to the summer students and as always, Welcome to Wolfe Island..

Cataraqui Centre to get new, expanded bus transfer station this summer

By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston Transit is rebuilding its busy transfer point at the Cataraqui Centre this summer to accommodate twice as many buses and add more comforts for passengers. Councillors approved spending $1.1 million dollars to hire Emmons & Mitchell Construction Ltd. to begin the work right away. The city has partnered with Cataraqui Holdings Inc., owners of the west end shopping mall, to allow continued transit access to the mall for 10 years with an option to renew for another 10 years on the south side of the mall near Isabel Turner Library. Under terms of the agreement, the city will pay all costs to reconfigure, reconstruct and expand the transfer hub while Cataraqui Holdings will handle repair and maintenance, including snow plowing, once constructed. The horseshoe-shaped transfer point, constructed in the 1980s, handles about 40,000 passengers a year. But the facility has become overcrowded following the move to express transit service. It currently handles 10 routes and two express routes. Many passengers have complained they are missing connections due to confusion with too many buses showing up at once with no dedicated pull over areas. “The transfer point was designed to accommodate a maximum of four full size buses at a time. At present, the site is operating over the design capacity with up to six buses converging at the transfer point several times an hour,” according to Denis Leger, the commissioner responsible for municipal facilities. The revamped transfer point will; -have eight dedicated bus bays to remove passenger confusion, with room to

convert two of the bays to handle larger accordion-style buses in the future, -get larger shelters and benches made more accessible to visual or mobility impaired passengers, -provide dedicated washrooms for transit users through a separate entrance into the mall. Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson defends the $1.1 million expense as necessary to grow the transit service while accommodating passengers. “We want to make it easy for residents across the city to be able to use our transit system and more convenient.” The city has an aggressive timeline to rebuild the transfer point and have it reopened by September 16. During the twomonth construction work, transit users will be relocated to the north side of the mall. “The existing transfer point will be demolished and a temporary transfer point will be created on the north side of the Cataraqui Centre. The reconstructed transfer point will accommodate eight full size buses and be equipped with new accessible shelters, benches and signage,” Leger explained. Emmons & Mitchell was the only firm to bid on the transit contract, leading some to question the city’s reliance on Request for Proposals (RFP), instead of tendering, to award pricey contracts. “Is it limiting our ability to be cost effective?” wondered Coun. Richard Allen . Commissioner Leger says an RFP was the way to go with this contract, citing “labour considerations.” He says three unions – Carpenters Union Local 249, Labourer’s International Union of North America Local 247 and Brick & Allied Craft Union Local 10 - have negotiated exclusive rights to do any construction at the mall and Cataraqui Holdings must honour those agreements.

Big Dig 3 reaches milestone with Princess Street’s reopening Continued from page 1

“It was vital the contractor had a high level of public service. Overall you wish you could snap your fingers and have it complete. Under the circumstances it was as good as can be,” said Smith. The construction zone activity will be mainly focused on the cross streets from now until the fall; Montreal Street (Brock to Queen), Sydenham Street (Princess to Queen) and Clergy Street (Princess to Queen). The third phase of the downtown reconstruction project was much larger and more complex than the previous two phases. A total of seven downtown blocks are under construction at various points of the

year, compared with five blocks in previous Big Dig phases in 2012 and 2009, also done by Corcoran’s firm. A timeline to complete the fourth and final Big Dig phase, between Clergy and Division Streets, has not been set but city officials may want to start the work as early 2018 to accommodate potential hi-rise developments. The city is still consulting with businesses before deciding on a start date. The estimated price for the final reconstruction phase is $15.5 million. When asked if he’s interested in the Big Dig 4, Corcoran replied: “Sure, we’d like to make a bid for the work. We’re so proud to be involved the first three phases.”

“Using three specific unions probably influenced the lack of bids,” Leger explained.

Mayor Paterson lauds the improvements. “It is important. It’s part of our larger strategy to improve our transit sys-

tem. I think we’ve come a long way in the last few years with advancements to our express bus service.”

Oh Henry! City bails out Marine Museum and its big red ship The recommendations, which council was asked to endorse, come with a hefty price for taxpayers of up to a quarter of a million dollars. The city would charge the museum a token amount of $1 a year for the next two years, with an option to renew for another two years, to display its collection in unused space at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. However, the most expensive options surround the fate of the decommissioned shipturned-museum, which is currently moored in the historic dry dock. The city is offering to pay $75,000 towards the estimated $100,000 cost to float the boat to the Picton Terminals dock until a future study determines what to do with it. “This would provide the Marine Museum with one year to complete the assessment work required to determine the feasibility and cost to sink the Alexander Henry to create an artificial dive reef,” explained Hunt. The work, associated costs and sources of financing would be reported to council before next summer. While the assessment is underway, the city will provide a letter of guarantee to Doornekamp Construction, the dock’s owner, for $326,000 should the museum decide to scrap the 58-year-old ship. In that scenario the city and museum would split the cost, each paying $163,000. All municipal funding would come from reserve accounts.

“Should the creation of an artificial dive reef not be feasible, then Doornekamp Construction has agreed it would be able to dispose of the Alexander Henry for an additional cost of $326,000,” said Hunt’s report to council. Time is of the essence. According to staff, the Alexander Henry must be prepared immediately to leave the dry dock or it will not make it down the Lake Ontario shoreline to the Picton area. Said Hunt: “This relocation would have to take place within the next week as the water levels of Lake Ontario are going to continue to drop and it would be impossible to move the Alexander Henry later in July.” While the city appeared powerless to prevent the museum’s eviction from the Ontario Street property that it has leased since 1975, it was actively involved in behind-the-scenes discussions to help with the relocation. Officials determined that Portsmouth Olympic Harbour is an ideal site for the museum to remain open since most of the municipal space is unoccupied and it won’t affect an ongoing visioning exercise for the harbour and nearby Kingston Penitentiary. Staff also considered other options for the Alexander Henry such as leaving it in the dry dock at a cost of $50,000 until next June. “The property owner indicated that it is his intent to donate the $50,000 back to a charity of his choice,” said Hunt. However, staff rejected this option since the 60-metre long ship would eventually have to move anyway and delaying the move

would only add to the relocation costs in 2017. The museum was ordered to leave its longtime home after failing to negotiate a lease or purchase agreement with Patry Enterprises. The Kingston developer bought the heritage waterfront property from the federal government earlier this year – 1.5 hectares encompassing the marine museum building, 1890’s

dry dock and nearby deep water wharf. Unproductive landlord-tenant negotiations resulted in a 120-day eviction notice. Councillors had earlier agreed to set aside $50,000 to help pay for some of the museum’s moving expenses, but the new offer would see the city increase its contribution five-fold.

Diaper drive seeks to connect Kingston families in need with often-overlooked necessity By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@metroland.com

It’s estimated that one in five Canadian moms has experienced ‘diaper need’ – that is, the struggle to provide babies and small children with clean diapers. Babies kept in wet or dirty diapers are, understandably, more likely to experience signs of irritation and discomfort. Yet diapers are things that often go overlooked when people are looking to donate items to young families in need, says Bambinos and Blankets founder Tori Rooney. “I get a lot of clothing donations, which is great, but people need diapers,” Rooney says. She explains that her own experiences as both a mother and a teacher inspired her to start Bambinos and Blankets, a non-profit organization that collects new and gently used essentials to donate to babies and toddlers in need. “In 2013 I became a mom and I didn’t understand fully how hard of a job it is. I honestly didn’t know how people did this without support of a spouse or partner or family around. I’m also a teacher, and I’ve seen a lot of kids do without the basic needs.” She remarks that it’s all about creating opportunity for families. “I want to connect families in need with

basic essentials. Without having those essentials available, families and children miss out on opportunities that they should otherwise be a part of.” Bambinos and Blankets launched in March of this year, and for the last few months Rooney has been picking items up right on donors’ doorsteps and delivering them to organizations such as Birthright Kingston, The Pregnancy Care Centre, the Community Midwives of Kingston and Interval House. On Sunday, July, 10, however, she’s holding a special ‘diaper drive’ – the first of its kind in Kingston – at Go Green Baby in order to try and highlight and meet the need for these essential items. The goal is to collect a total of 5,000 diapers. Both paper and clean cloth diapers of all sizes will be accepted, however Rooney notes that it’s important to keep in mind that not everybody has access to a washer and dryer to launder cloth diapers. “We’ll also accept individual diapers,” she adds. “They don’t have to come in a package. So if a child grew out of diapers and you’re not using them anymore, bring them.” Diapers can be dropped off at Go Green Baby (293 Division Street) on Sunday, July 10 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Better Balance Massage Therapy will be on hand during those

In particular, many of the authors appearing at this year’s festival, such as Cherie Dimaline and Tracey Lindberg, represent voices that have traditionally been less heard – “First Nations voices, women’s voices, people who identify as LGBTQ,” says Bell. “We want to include all the voices that we can and all the stories that we can.” Bell remarks that this is probably the most exciting lineup WritersFest has had yet – and that the festival is continuing to become better known and respected every year. “[Publishers] are actually approaching us with some of their bigger names and saying ‘I hope you’ll find a space for this writer or that writer in your lineup this year’.

bring in some of the best-known Canadian writers.” In fact, Bell says she was chatting with a very well respected editor just several weeks ago in Toronto who mentioned that the Kingston festival is becoming the ‘go-to’ event that everyone talks about. “We feel really, really proud that we’ve managed to build a festival that people think is worth attending and has value. And it particularly makes me very happy that we’ve brought it to this community. Kingston residents don’t have to go very far to get this top-notch literary experience. For more information about this year’s festival and a full list of authors who will be appearing, visit https://www.kingstonwritersfest.ca. MAC

Events - Music, gourmet food, an Academy Award nominee and, of course, a whole lot of storytelling – those are just some of the things book lovers will experience at this year’s Kingston WritersFest. “We don’t necessarily want to try and get bigger, but we always want to try and get better,” notes Kingston WritersFest artistic director Barbara Bell, who announced the lineup for this year’s festival (taking place Sept. 28 – Oct. 2) at the official launch on June 23. The 2016 headliner: Emma Donoghue, author of the international sensation Room, which she also adapted herself for the big screen and earned an Academy Award nomination for earlier this year. “She’ll be on stage with broadcaster Eric Friesen [for the opening International Marquee event] so that ought to be fabulous,” Bell says. Also of note: legendary Canadian singer/songwriters Anna and Jane McGarrigle, who will be interviewed on stage by Sarah Harmer. Known world-

wide for their music, the sisters’ new book Mountain City Girls: The McGarrigle Family Album recounts everything from the girls’ childhood in Montreal to their ancestors’ early days in Canada. “There may just be a little bit of playing of music on stage that night,” hints Bell. The annual Robertson Davies lecture will be given on the Sunday evening by David Mitchell, the acclaimed author of books like The Bone Clocks and Clout Atlas, along with his most recent novel, Slight House. Favourite events like the Book Lovers’ Lunch “always one of the first events to sell out”, Bell says - and the Saturday Night Speakeasy – again hosted by Bill Richardson - will also be returning. The overarching theme of the 2016 WritersFest is storytelling. “One way or another, human beings have been telling stories since the beginning of time,” Bell notes. “To me, telling stories is how we share who we are as a people, share who we are as an individual, but also as how we as writers and readers make sense of the world and our place in it.”

In Our Opinion

A season of change and many milestones It feels like the calm before the storm in my house these days. The immediate future is full of milestones and change for our little family, kicked off by the one year anniversary of purchasing our first home, which weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re marking as I write this. Buying a house was one of the two things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done in my life that truly made me feel like a grown up. (The other: becoming a mom.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work and responsibility, yes, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told that in another year or so, our house will begin to accumulate equity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; talk about feeling â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;establishedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. On the day this paper comes out, I will turn 33, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a milestone birthday in itself, but the new era it represents makes it feel significant. This is the age at which my second child will be born. Having had one child already, I understand the degree to which a tiny new being can change your life forever, rendering it entirely unrecognizable from anything you knew before. It happened once and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to happen all over again. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to prepare mentally for this inevitability.

Earlier in August â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just slightly more than a week before the new little girl is due â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, which is exciting but also a lot to process. How have we been married for 10 years??? This seems like a milestone for old people, not hip young folks like us (#sarcasm). Then, (presumably) just a couple of weeks after the new arrival, my Summer will start school, which is likewise a lot to deal with because how is it time for this already?? She was born, I blinked, and now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four years old, writing words and telling jokes like a pro. Summer is bursting with excitement about going to school and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do great, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also nervous and emotional about it all. I hope her teacher is nice. I hope she makes friends easily. Right now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, good-natured and outgoing almost to a fault. I hope no one breaks this incredible spirit; at the same time, I know that somewhere along the line someone will â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that happen to all of us? For better or worse, the people kids meet at school morph their personalities in ways that are beyond their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; control. All we can do is send them out into the world and hope for the best. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m crying. Again. Going on maternity leave will obviously also throw huge wrench into my life and routine. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to lie:

I found it difficult last time and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I will again. That said, I think having Summer around for part of the time and walking her to and from school will break up the long days nicely. The way this pregnancy has gone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is going - also makes me hopeful. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced virtually nothing in the way of nausea, aches or pains and most of the time feel relatively energetic and content. Contrary to my first pregnancy, I might even say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m enjoying the experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which only adds to the calm that seems to have fallen over our family lately. A couple of weeks ago, the three of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve, Summer and I â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took a little road trip to Vermont. We did some yoga, climbed a mountain, ate too much ice cream and did our best savour our final days as we are right now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a family of three. I will always remember that trip and these weeks/months in general as a good time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a time when my little girl was still so innocent and sweet; a time when Steve and I had the wisdom and experience of an old married couple, but still didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel particularly old. In a few short weeks, a new era will be ushered in as we become a family of four. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scary in a way, but mostly Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to view it as exciting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a time for new joys and experiences, many of which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even imagine at this point.

Learning from the Brits There was quite the rift between generations when it came to the British vote that is taking them out of the European Union. While voters over the age of 50 voted strongly to leave, the majority of those under 50 were on the stay side, especially youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;uns under 24. Almost three-quarters of the population that must live the longest with the consequences of the vote marked a ballot in favour of remaining with the EU. Unfortunately, 64 per cent of the 18-24 age group did not bother to vote. If they had, judging by how their peers voted, the result could have been dramatically different. The young have a point when they interpret the vote as the older generation being more interested in their prejudices and trying to return the country to the past than supporting opportunities for their children and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children. But if they felt so strongly that their futures would be better as a member of the EU, why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t more of them make the effort to vote? Their apathy handed the victory to the stick-in-the-muds of the older generation. Youth in this country should be paying attention to what happened in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Canadians could be facing a referendum on electoral reform and maybe on other important issues. Quebec could hold another referendum on separation. In such votes, it is the young people who have the most to gain and lose. Fortunately, there are some recent signs in Canada that they will be a force in future votes. After years of declining voter turnout and young voters being turned off politics, it appears things are changing. In last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election, voter turnout among those aged 18-24 jumped more than 18 per cent over 2011. In the 25-34 age group, participation climbed 12.3 per cent. As well as voting in large numbers, many young people became involved in campaigns. Hopefully that level of engagement continues, for they need to be at the forefront of the decision-making if Canada is to stride confidently into the future. The last thing the country needs is to shy away from the promise of the future because its young people allow those who fail to understand what those opportunities are to set the agenda.

KEDCO report spawns calls to move forward… and look back Continued from page 8

KEDCO’s past stats were “credible” due to its own ever-changing methodology. But councillors may be willing to overlook what many view as all of those pesky questions about past performance if they can be satisfied the new-look agency is focused on changing its governance strategy and oversight mechanisms, while adopting new business “metrics” to track and assess its future work. KEDCO chair Shai Dubey says he’s eager to work with council on the next step of setting up a transition group to actually split the agencies, a job he insists has already started. “They have operated as two separate entities already. Tourism Kingston has a separate budget.” Dickinson assured civic leaders that Kingston isn’t alone by wanting to revamp

economic development, adding other communities have tried different approaches with differing results and there is no magic solution. “No one has got this figured out 100 percent yet.” Whether the KEDCO report is a road map for other municipalities to mimic remains to be seen. But Dickinson admits it will take more than a report and new policy to pull the agency out of its funk and deliver some badly-needed, measurable results. He says the report’s aim is to put the tools in place for reform and not to stay mired in the existing debate. Mayor Paterson also urged council to move swiftly on a new direction for KEDCO rather than let it continue to flounder. It’s clear that councillors have summer homework to do, and will decide what next steps to take at a special upcoming committee of the whole meeting.

Over the past week, thousands of students from across our region celebrated their high school graduations. Among them were Sydney Mosaheb and Ainsley Koven – both of whom chose a slightly different path from most and enjoyed great success in the process. The girls graduated from Albert College, a private boarding school located in Belleville, and each brought a number of the school’s most prestigious graduate awards home with her to Kingston. “Honestly, it feels great,” says Mosaheb, who was named both an Ontario Scholar and Albert College Scholar after achieving an average of 90 per cent or higher in six Grade 12 sub-

cluding those in Europe, Asia, South America and the Middle East graduated from Albert College during this year’s convocation. Both girls note that befriending students from other cultures further enhanced the boarding school experience. “I met so many great people from around the world Spain, Mexico, Brazil” Mosaheb says. “You really get a feel for their cultures.” “When you board you become really close with all the girls and it’s a really nice bond,” Koven remarks. “There are a lot of people from all different places. I made such good connections and lifelong friendships.” The school’s graduating class and faculty feel in many ways like a close-knit family. “You’re spending 24 hours a day seven days a week together, and you grow this bond between all the teachers,” says Mosaheb. “I loved it so much.” Her advice to other young people who want to succeed at school and beyond: work hard, and always put school first. “Obviously spend time doing sports and have a social life, but always make sure school is up there.” Also: “If you want to succeed and do well, just do what you love.”

The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained Ainley Group to conduct a Detail Design and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for planned Highway 33 improvements from 250 m west of Millhaven Creek Bridge to the Millhaven Creek Bridge. The scope of Highway 33 improvements includes the following: • minor granular grade raise and widening to provide a 1.5 m shoulder on the north side of the highway; • removal and replacement of the existing steel beam guiderail, curb and gutter at the new edge of shoulder. At study commencement, this project was part of a larger Detail Design/EA study for Highway 33 improvements between Bath and Collins Bay Road (G.W.P. 4225-07-00) which includes rehabilitation of the existing pavement, roadway widening to accommodate paved shoulders at seven (7) locations, signal upgrades, drainage improvements, and replacement of nonstructural culverts. The larger detail design/EA study was classified as a Group ‘B’ project under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). THE PROCESS MTO has decided to carry out a separate Detail Design/EA Study for the Highway 33 improvements from 250 m west of Millhaven Creek Bridge to the Millhaven Creek Bridge so that they may be tendered for construction separately. As the Highway 33 improvements from 250 m west of Millhaven Creek Bridge to Millhaven Creek Bridge meet the criteria for a Group ‘C’ project under the MTO Class EA process, the Detail Design/EA study is following the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘C’ projects. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Screening Memorandum will be prepared for MTO internal use. The Detail Design/EA Study for the larger Highway 33 study (Collins Bay Road to Bath) will continue to follow the approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ undertaking in accordance with the MTO Class EA. Upon completion of that study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and will be made available for a 30-day public and agency review period. COMMENTS We are interested in any comments or concerns you may have regarding this project.

Mother Teresa students take their learning outside By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – Students at Mother Teresa Catholic School in Kingston enjoyed a change of scenery as they learned this year thanks to their new outdoor classroom. The classroom has been an ongoing project for the school over the past few years, but this year it was finally ready for use. “The trees were planted a few years ago and then the garden planting took place in October, but then we had to wait for the winter to end,” explained teacher Tish Ball. “The students were eager to use the space so we planted flowers and did a lot of work on the space as soon as we could in the spring.” The new classroom features a garden, bird feeders, trees, that will eventually provide shade, and large rocks, donated by Rideauview Contracts, that act as benches. Ball and her Grade 4/5 class enjoy using the space as much as they can and they even took on maintaining and protecting the space. “The work they have done, everyone at the

school is benefiting from,” said Ball. “They asked students to not play in the area during recess and they have been maintaining the gardens too.” The class also learned about conservation of energy this year and the outdoor classroom helped them with that too. “It was great to get outside and be in the outdoors instead of inside and see how it benefited us,” said student Mary Clultei. “I really enjoyed planting and learning in a different place. It was nice to hear the birds and have fresh air.” The school also held a special ceremony to ‘open’ the garden in early June. They invited everyone who had helped with the project and read poems and sang songs they had written in the space. The school hopes to grow the space even more in the years to come, but for now, students are just enjoying having it open to them. “I really like the outdoor classroom,” said student Halaiah Miller. “I also come here some nights with my family to relax and play on the playground and then we come here and sit and talk. The space gives us ideas for writing and for poems - I think it is pretty great.”

Press Release Limestone Credit Union Members Vote in Favour of Amalgamation with Comtech Fire Credit Union

Limestone will operate as a subsidiary of Comtech Fire Credit Union Kingston, ON, June 29, 2016: At a member meeting held on June 28th in Kingston, Ontario, members of Limestone Credit Union voted unanimously in favour of an amalgamation with Comtech Fire Credit Union. Limestone will maintain its existing trade name, as a subsidiary of Comtech Fire Credit Union with aggregate assets approaching $500 million with 18,000 members. Comtech Fire Credit Union is based in Toronto, Ontario and will now operate 7 branches in Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga; and now in Amherstview and Kingston Ontario under the Limestone banner. Additional branch locations are currently being explored and will include additional Branches in Toronto and in the Pickering/Ajax area. “During the past year, we have worked diligently to determine that Comtech Fire shares our values of member commitment”, said Mike Fleurie, CEO of Limestone Credit Union. “We believe we can be stronger together, bringing an even broader value proposition to our members”, added Fleurie. “We have maintained throughout the process that we are stronger together than we are apart”, said Comtech Fire CEO John Mach. “Our ability to build the resources necessary to innovate and compete in the future requires adequate scale and this merger is another important step. It makes things even better that we share so many common values.” Comtech Fire Credit Union is a full service financial institution operating five branches in the GTA and in Ottawa. Limestone Credit Union operates two branches in the Kingston area and was formerly known as the Federal Employees (Kingston) Credit Union Limited.

‘A historic step’: Kingston hospitals announce plans to bring together operations of hospitals The Board of Directors of Kingston General Hospital and Hotel Dieu Hospital announced on Tuesday, June 28 that they have agreed to create a new academic health sciences centre, which will bring together the operations of the two hospitals. The new organization will operate as one hospital with one budget, on two separate sites, and will be overseen by one Board, Chief Executive Officer and Executive team. The two existing boards say they chose this direction as a way to provide better, more integrated care for patients and families. The decision to move forward with the integration was reached by both hospitals after consultation with the South East Local Health Integration Network, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, as well as the Roman Catholic sponsors of Hotel Dieu Hospital, Catholic Health International. With their support and with agreement in principle from Kingston Archbishop Brendan O’Brien, they say there is clear consensus to move forward with the integration. “The Boards, leadership teams, physicians and staff at both hospitals have increasingly been working in a more

integrated way to best meet the needs of patients and families,” says Kingston General Hospital Board Chair George Thomson. “We know that the more closely we can work together, the stronger our health system will be for our community. This is an exciting, progressive approach to providing health care in our region.” Over the next several months, the hospitals will begin formal planning to establish the legal and operational structures for the new academic health sciences centre. During this time, the Interim President and CEO at KGH, Jim Flett, and Dr. David Pichora, in his role as CEO at HDH, will work with a joint team to lead the transition process and seek input from the community. It is anticipated that it will take up to 12 months to form the new corporation. Under the new entity, each site will continue to fulfill its unique role with the KGH site providing complex-acute and specialty care and the HDH site providing acute-ambulatory care, ensuring that all of the same services continue to be offered to patients and families. At the same time, the history and traditions of each individual site will also be respected.

“We remain committed to honouring the unique missions and cultures of both the sites as we move forward,” says Hotel Dieu Hospital Board Chair Michael Hickey. “The Hotel Dieu site will retain its Catholic identity and mission, and KGH will remain a secular site. The current missions of both Hotel Dieu Hospital and Kingston General Hospital will be guaranteed in a binding Operating Agreement with oversight by a Partnership Council.” As part of the announcement to integrate, the Boards also announced that the inaugural President and Chief Executive Officer of the new academic health science centre will be Hotel Dieu Hospital’s current CEO, Dr. Pichora. “This is a historic step and signals our commitment to bring our two hospitals together to build on our strong

history of high quality patient- and family-centred care,” says Dr. Pichora. “Many of our patients receive care at both HDH and KGH and we believe that by working together more closely, we will deliver a better experience for patients and families.” Hospital representatives say the decision was made first and foremost to improve the experience of patients and families by delivering more coordinated care. They believe that integrating the hospitals will also provide more efficient care that could result in some financial savings. The hospitals say it is too early to know if there will be any specific impact on jobs, however since all services will continue that means they will continue to need the individuals who provide this care. It’s anticipated that there will be a reorganization of the management structure within the

a variety of shows including Jason Thorne Freestyle Motorcross. Unsurprisingly, Paquette is a passionate biker himself. “I’m a long-range cruiser,” he remarks. “My bike has a lot of miles on it.” Through the Show N Shine, he also hopes to promote Kingston from a motorcycle tourism perspective. “We want to try and get more motorcyclists into the city and expose them to Kingston. There’s a lot of money in motorcycle tourism.” He adds that he also works with municipal and provincial governments to promote motorcycle safety. Paquette hopes to get another big crowd out on July 16 for a fun day of celebrating motorcycles and helping a great cause. “Two mottos that we began using since day one, which are often duplicated by other groups, are ‘Ride for a Reason – Ride for a Cause’ and “Bikers Care’”, Paquette explains. “These truly sum up in a nutshell what we endeavour to accomplish every year. Show N Shine is 100 per cent not for profit and is solely supported by donations and sponsors every year.” He adds that in the past some shows have seen more than 7,000 motorcyclists and motorcycle lovers, but the numbers are always anticipated to grow each year moving forward.

The Kingston Show N Shine got its start in 2008 as a last-minute event geared to a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts. Organizers were astounded when it attracted a huge number of participants and viewers. From that first event the Show N Shine has grown every year. The event has raised funds and awareness for countless charities ever since the first show. A major milestone was achieved in 2012 when organizers honoured the Olympians of Special Olympics Ontario. “We have strongly believed that bringing motorcyclists and charities together has proven to be very successful,” says organizer Guy Paquette. “Show N Shine has become a yearly tradition of fundraising by motorcycle enthusiasts for charities and causes.” The 2016 Show N Shine will raise awareness and funds for Almost Home, a nonprofit organization which provides a place of comfort and respite for families whose children are receiving medical treatment at Kingston area hospitals. “And it’s an incredible organization,” says Paquette. “They do an incredible thing so that family members and parents can be near their children while receiving medical care in Kingston.” The event is free to attend, with the expectation that visitors as well as those who enter motorcycles will make a donation to Almost Home. It will take place July 16 from noon - 5 p.m. at Confederation Park. The family friendly event includes a custom bike display of all types, sizes and brands, plus

Dancing her way through life

Mark Bergin COLUMNIST

@markaidanbergin

If you’re a fan of theatrical productions around Kingston, then you’re probably familiar with the work of dancer and choreographer Susan Del-Mei. Always impressive, in the past year she’s taken on some particularly difficult work. For example, Regi’s Mary Poppins last December contained some intricate and fast pace dance moves. Around the same time that she was choreographing Mary Poppins, Del-Mei was working on Martin Guerre with Queen’s Drama. Watching these productions, it was a marvel that Del-Mei pulled it off. The two shows were vastly different in their approaches to movement. Each demanded diverse skills. She’s also performed herself in difficult roles like that of Laura Wingfield with Domino Theatre’s Glass Menagerie. That’s one of the more challenging character’s ever created. The actor has to win the audience’s sympathy while maintaining dignity without stepping over the line of pity. Del-Mei teaches at Leisa’s School of Dance, where she started dancing as a student at the age of four. “My Mom heard that a friend [Lisa Whelan] had opened a dance studio,” said Del-Mei. “I remember sitting in the bathtub and deciding whether to take dance. In my mind, I imagined a big room with lots of red velvet.” She may not have worked in rooms with an abundance of red velvet, but she has studied dance extensively. After her start in ballet, over the years she’s added

jazz and tap, as well as some contemporary and hip hop to her repertoire. Her entry into the world of theatre came along in 2006, performing in Lucky Dollar Private Eye in the company that would become Blue Canoe Productions. Her career as a choreographer launched the following year. “I was still in high school when Blue Canoe was just starting, and we did Seussical The Musical,” said DelMei. “When we were planning it, Mike Sheppard [of Blue Canoe] asked if Lisa

[Whelan] would be interested in doing the choreography. She recommended me. I didn’t feel like I knew where to start, but I jumped in. Three of us split the [choreography responsibilities for the] show.” She had quite the cast for her Blue Canoe debut, working with actors like Daniella Richards and Hailey Hill, each of whom has since gone on to post-secondary education and bigger careers in theatre.

Del-Mei is particularly adept at partner choreography. Her skills in working with large groups of pairs glowed in shows like South Paciﬁc (Regi), Candide (Queen’s), and Guys and Dolls (Regi). She’s never been shy about taking on quirky projects. After high school, Del-Mei attended Queen’s University, majoring in drama. In her ﬁrst year, she performed in

Queen’s Musical Theatre’s Jekyll and Hyde. The following year’s production was Rocky Horror Show. She laughed and said: “I didn’t think I was brave enough to be in it.” She became the choreographer for this wonderfully bizarre piece of musical theatre. Continued on page 10

kids—I work with a lot of teenagers and university students—it gives people confidence. I love watching someone who has never danced before and has sworn they never would until they were cast in musical. To see them go from our initial contact to watching them on stage and to see them do something they thought they would never be able do, is so rewarding. Everybody moves; everybody has it in them.” She’s still active in musical theatre, but primarily from the choreographer’s position. “Since leaving Queen’s I haven’t been in so many musicals,” she said. “That’s a shame, but if you’re not in university in Kingston, there aren’t that many shows to do in terms of musicals.” Del-Mei’s theatrical involvement has been diverse. Many actors link up with one local theatre company and never branch out. I suppose the auditioning process appears easier if you’re already known to one company. Del-Mei, in contrast, tries to work with as many companies and shows as possible. “I’m very lucky,” she said. “I’ve done lots of shows with almost every theatre company in town.” I would argue that luck as nothing to do with it. Practice, skill development and natural talent make the difference. It’s been ten years since Del-Mei choreographed her first production. She recommends that anyone interested in theatre take advantage of every opportunities that presents itself. “I have learned so much about choreography from doing it, especially in Kingston, where there are no classes in

it, even at Queen’s,” she said. “Make as many connections as you can.” She pointed out that she did not start out in theatre, but in dance, and her first taste of performing was on the dance stage. “I fell in love with the stage after that,” she said. Del-Mei took drama classes throughout her high school years at Regiopolis-Notre Dame. These days, when she’s not choreographing a show, you’ll find her teaching tap, ballet and some jazz, hip hop and lyrical dance at Leisa’s School of Dance. She also runs classes in elementary schools to help teachers meet curriculum standards. For the past five years, she has worked with students at QECVI’s Theatre Complete program. With about 50 shows in her stage resume—as an actor/dancer and/or choreographer—since 2006, there isn’t much in the theatre world that Del-Mei has not tried. You’ll catch Del-Mei on stage during the upcoming Storefront Festival, where she’ll be playing a single mom in Urafiki Theatre’s Danny, King of the Basement. She’s also been hired to choreograph this year’s Regi production of The Little Mermaid. This summer, she’ll make a foray (not her first) into the world of film, appearing in Brent Nurse’s Boneyard. Like everything else Del-Mei takes on, she’ll bring her skills and passion to the role. For more information about the Storefront Festival, visit theatrekingston.com.

minutes of driving until the cabin reaches a comfortable temp. Then the system can be switched to normal AC operation to save fuel. With the AC set on ‘MAX’ the compressor and the engine cooling fan(s) run full time and can create a major drag on the engine. If you have a sunroof, pop it open in the vent position (rear side only ajar) when you first start out on a hot day. This can allow the airflow over the moving vehicle to remove the hot cabin air faster. And as with heater use during the winter, avoid using the HVAC fan’s top speed with AC use as well (turn it down one speed from the top). This gives the air more contact time with the cooling evaporator coil under the dash, leading to colder vent temps. On Saturday, July 9 the Cruise In for Cancer cruises down to the Morrisburg Waterfront from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the 12th Annual Carp Show ‘n’ Shine Open to cars, trucks, tractors and antique snowmobiles will be held at the Carp Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Sunday the 10th the famous Merrickville Cruise & Shop returns to Merrickville with live music as well as plenty of chrome and classic autos as well as more than enough shopping and great food.

calls to parts departments trying to understand and cope with shipment delays and backorders. Fortunately for the large part, things go pretty smoothly, but when they go wrong, customers often suffer. A company that is trying to bridge these gaps should be applauded and one announced this week a new initiative that might open more than one set of eyes. Mercedes-Benz USA is sending almost 40 of its top national office managers back to school and the campuses they’re attending are their retail stores. Each of these senior officials is spending a week at dealerships across the country learning everything from vehicle ordering and sales to service department processes to parts inventory. The goal of this program is for Mercedes execs to learn how their office tower decisions affect the front lines of their business and early results show certain things are going to change. One 14-year veteran who already completed a stint in a Chicago area store came back with a large number of needed changes to improve the flexibility of retailers to adapt to varying market forces. Hopefully other automakers will look at this experience and come up with their own ways to make buying, leasing, and servicing their vehicles a much easier and more consumer friendly process. More airbag recalls are on the way and this time they don’t involve Takata units, which have caused one of the largest recalls in automotive history. Toyota and Lexus announced they are recalling 1.43 million 2008-2012 Toyota Priuses and Lexus CTs for potentially defective side-curtain airbags manufactured by Autoliv Inc. This total represents global sales and as this is a preliminary notice, it will take some time before dealerships and consumers receive further information. Toyota is also recalling almost 2.9 million Priuses and Corollas worldwide from the 2006 through 2015 model year for possible cracks in the vehicles’ emission control fuel vapor canisters, which could leak fuel when the tank is full. Now that we’re in the hot days of summer, a lot of drivers are using their vehicles’ AC systems. Keep in mind you only need to use the ‘MAX AC’ setting for the first few

In the world of automotive retail there is often a large disconnect between manufacturers and their dealerships. It can stem from frustration experienced by sales managers trying to make sense out of and apply various promotions and incentives to service departments suffering from lack of information on new re-

Turmoil was a symptom of special visitor’s arrival The house was in a turmoil again. The whole place was upside down. Mother was in a bad humour, ordering us around, Emerson said like a drill sergeant! Even Father, who hardly ever got flustered, was all keyed up. All because Father’s sister, Aunt Lizzie of the hand-me-down boxes from Regina, was coming for her annual visit. She always came in the hottest month of the year, to make sure the old homestead was still standing. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. Mother was out to prove her wrong! Of course, Audrey and I had to give up our bed and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. That meant the bedroom, which was really the large upstairs hall, had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life. Audrey had to stand on a chair, and using the broom, sweep the ceiling, which was only whitewashed over tar paper. This was to make sure no flakes would fall on Aunt Lizzie’s face when she was in bed, as they often did for Audrey and me. The feather mattresses, tickings and pillows had been thrown over the back fence and pounded with the broom within an inch of their lives. Audrey said we wouldn’t be going to that much trouble if the Queen of England was coming! The kitchen, which was always spotless to begin with, was as clean as a whistle, and Mother, just to prove she knew a little more about being a farm wife than she was given credit for, had the bake table loaded down

with sticky buns, homemade bread, freshly made pickles, raspberry preserves, and a basket full of newly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. Aunt Lizzie rarely gave us notice of when she was coming, and more than once, we would get a call from the station in Renfrew that she had arrived. At least this time, a letter had arrived a week before telling us when she would be coming. Of course, we five children would love to go into Renfrew to meet the train, but that would mean taking the flat bottomed wagon with the one seat, pulled by the team of horses. Aunt Lizzie wouldn’t like being paraded through her hometown on a flat bottomed wagon, hauled by a team of work horses. So Father and Mother would take the two-seater buggy. We kids would stay at home. We were in our next-to-Sunday best clothes too. The five of us had our noses pressed to the kitchen window when we saw the buggy coming down the lane, and there sat Aunt Lizzie, white dress, huge red leghorn hat and gloves to her elbow. When she pressed me to her chest, I could smell Lily of the Valley perfume. Her suitcases were brought in and taken right upstairs, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the big leather satchel she carried, because inside I knew would be gifts for all of us. My present was the last to come out of the bag. I had never seen anything like it. It was a book, about the size of a scrap book, and the cover was made of push-out paper dolls, and inside were the clothes they could wear, all made of paper, and she had even brought me a little pair of snub nosed scissors. I got right to it at the kitchen table. Each dress, when cut out, had little tabs beyond the body, and they, when folded over, were what held the paper clothes on the little cardboard dolls. I was sure even bad Marguirite had never laid eyes on anything so exciting! I didn’t care about all the work we had to

go to, to get ready for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. I didn’t care that she wasn’t our favourite visitor to come to the farm at Northcote. I was too young to think beyond the wonderful gifts she would bring all the way from Regina. Imagine! Little paper dolls and a wardrobe of paper clothes to keep me entertained for hours ahead! That Aunt Lizzie

sure knew how to bring joy to a young girl’s heart! 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.

Did you know? New York City’s Central Park was created by famed landscape designer Frederick Law Olmstead, who would no doubt be happy to learn that the park, which Olmstead began working on in the 1850s, is the most visited urban park in the United States. Central Park initially covered 2.5 miles, be-

ginning at 59th Street and extending north to 106th Street (the park now extends to 110th Street), while spanning from Fifth Avenue in the east to Eighth Avenue in the west. Included in Central Park is the 55-acre Great Lawn, which is routinely filled with sun bathers, athletes, picnickers, and

just about anyone else looking to do some lounging in one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Over the years, numerous performers, from rockers Bon Jovi to folk singers Simon and Garfunkel to the New York Philharmonic, have staked their claim to the Great Lawn. The Great Lawn

Your

even played host to the Global Citizen Festival in the fall of 2015. Hosted by late night host Steven Colbert, the festival showcased world renowned performers such as Beyoncé and Pearl Jam and even featured addresses from political notables like Vice President Joe Biden and First Lady Michelle

Obama. As for the rest of the park, it continues to draw millions of visitors each year, who are attracted to its expansive landscape, neverending activities and, for many, the simple chance to ditch their footwear and lie down in the green grass that is synonymous with the park.

Independence Day sequel must be seen on the big screen By Mark Haskins

Summer blockbusters should be more than movies. They should be experiences you have to witness on the big screen. Independence Day: Resurgence is definitely that. The Earth has 20 years to prepare for the aliens’ return. The nations of the world put aside their differences to work together. They unlock the secrets of the alien technology to re-build the world. It isn’t enough. A signal has been sent out into space from Earth by one of the old ships. Then a strange probe comes to the moon. Despite the objections of David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) President Lanford (Sela Ward) and the world council destroy it. Dr. Brakish Okun (Brent Spiner) wakes from his coma because he feels it coming. The aliens being held prisoner begin celebrating in their cells because they know. Former president Whitmore (Bill Pullman) can feel it. He tries to warn them, but it’s too late. A ship appears near the moon obliterating their defences. Despite objections from President Lanford, David goes to the moon to see the wreckage of the probe

for himself. Former fighter pilot Jake Morrison (Liam Hemsworth) commandeers a space tug take David to the moon. They find something, but are swept up in the gravity of the alien ship as it shears off a chunk of moon. This ship dwarfs anything the world has seen. It dwarfs the Earth as it straddles the Atlantic. This is a Harvester Queen. Jake and David make it to Area 51, and are joined by President Whitmore, his daughter Patricia (Maika Monroe), and Dylan Hillier (Jessie T. Usher) and his team of elite fighter pilots. They regroup to fight back, but victory won’t be easy, and it won’t come without sacrifice. There’s so much going on in Resurgence it’s not possible to sum it all up. There are all these storylines and characters in the film. It gives you a sense of the grand scope of things, while it allows Emmerich to put a human face to the events, and make it emotionally real. There are some character and plot points that are glossed over or taken for granted, but these are forgivable considering at its heart Resurgence is an effects-driven film. From the aliens, to the high tech

MOVIE: Independence Day: Resurgence STARRING: Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, Jessie T. Usher, Judd Hirsch, Sela Ward and Brent Spiner DIRECTOR: Roland Emmerich RATING: PG

22 Kingston/Frontenac Section B - Thursday, July 7, 2016

weapons, to the destruction of cities, to the aerial battles this is a gorgeous film that should only be seen on the big screen. The main job of this cast is to deliver one-liners with impeccable timing, give the odd inspirational speech, laugh in the face of death and exude heroism. In this they are fantastic. I love Goldblum, Pullman

and Spiner. Monroe and Usher do a fine job, and Hemsworth takes to the role like he was born to it. Resurgence is a mix of everything. There’s action, there’s drama, there’s heartbreak, there’s thrills, there’s humour, and it all blends together into a really entertaining film. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
