Paying respects to a fallen firefighter On July 16, Loyalist firefighter, correctional officer and Canadian Forces veteran Patrick Pidgeon, 45, was killed in the line of duty while battling a blaze at an Amherstview apartment building. Grief over Pidgeon’s tragic and untimely death was felt throughout the community, and on July 23 members of the public had the opportunity to pay their respects with a formal procession and memorial service. Thousands lined the streets of Kingston and Amherstview as a fire engine draped in black led a procession that departed from
James Reid Funeral Home at noon and travelled west to the W.J. Henderson Recreation Centre in Amherstview. . Approximately 1,800 uniformed officers from the military, Corrections and Ontario and Quebec fire departments attended the private memorial service, as did the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Elizabeth Dowdeswell. The service included a special bell ceremony and a prayer, in accordance Continued on page 4

New funding will enhance support for home care and caregivers in South East LIHN By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – A new investment from the Ontario government aims to make life easier for patients seeking home care and their caregivers. On July 21, MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, announced that the province is investing approximately $5,080,100 across the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) this year to enhance support for home care clients with high needs, and their caregivers. “We know that home is where our loved
ones want to be and where they are the healthiest and happiest,” explained Kiwala. “And this funding will provide an increase in home care services and also provide respite services for caregivers who are very much in need.” Kiwala announced that province-wide, that the government is investing $80 million for enhanced home care and $20 million for caregiver respite, respectively. These investments will translate to 350,000 additional hours of nursing care and 1.3 million additional hours of personal support. In the South East LIHN, the investment means that the South East Community Care

Access Center (CCAC) will expand service provision to clients with complex care needs, while increasing consistency of service provision as well. “Essentially it will enable us to provide more care to more people, especially to people with complex needs,” explained Jacqueline Redmond, CEO of the South East CCAC. “It will also allow us to focus on respite more. For the past year we have been hearing that there is a huge gap in this area and we are going to address that now.” Kiwala herself emphasized the need for respite care among caregivers and shared her own personal experience with home care and caregiving. “My own mother’s story is a great example; as soon as she was diagnosed with colon cancer and she was told that it was palliative, she made it clear that she wanted home care,” said Kiwala. “I had the wonderful opportunity to receive home care services and at that time I was on my own with a three month old and an 18 month old. I can’t tell you what it meant to me and my family to have assistance.” Kiwala also explained that with young children, sleep was hard to come by and she felt the burnout that comes with caring for a loved one. “The burnout is very real. I expected to do it all by myself, and I didn’t know there was an option for respite care until the healthcare system told me,” she said. “I know that this funding will be so appreciated and it will be invaluable to those caregivers that are struggling.”

Of the over $5 million announced, a total of $1,064,000 will be allotted to support caregivers including respite care and additional personal support hours to caregivers in the greatest need. For some caregivers this will provide a much needed break to do things like run errands, visit family and friends and take time for themselves. “This will allow for more Personal Support Worker services in the home allowing the loved one to go out and go do their own things and have the confidence and piece of mind to know that their loved one is being cared for while they are out,” said Redmond. “That is so valuable to these caregivers and so important for their own health too.”
Councillors flirt with grounding airport expansion contract award News – Kingston’s planned airport expansion came close to being grounded when a crucial contract award came up for approval by council July 12. Several councillors complained they’ve not yet had a full and thorough debate over the need for lengthening the main runway by another 1,000 feet at Norman Rogers Airport. “In my mind there’s just too much doubt out there,” said Coun. Lisa Osanic. The seemingly routine contract was for WSP/ MMM Group to act as project manager to oversee the proposed $16 million cost of expanding the passenger terminal and extending the runway. The $280,000 management contract was approved by a slim 7-6 vote. The contract award wasn’t supposed to go to council at all, but procedural rules required councillors to sign off on the deal since WSP/MMM Group was the only company to submit a bid. Rejecting the contract could’ve caused serious delays for the project, or scrapped the expansion altogether. Coun. Jim Neill questioned whether staff actually had prior council authority to seek contract bids for the project manager. “I don’t remember us delegating to staff the request for proposals.” Commissioner Denis Leger says staff took direction from two previous council decisions; the 2015 creation of strategic goals, one of which identified airport expansion as a priority, and council’s approval of a capital budget for the airport expansion last fall. “Just because we allocate money in the budget
appeared on the same July 12 agenda. But others remain unconvinced a larger airport will bring in new air carriers or more passengers. “The water is muddy. There is no business case,” said Coun. Mary Rita Holland. Coun. Rob Hutchison says he supports the passenger terminal expansion, but doubts that expanding the runway from 5,000 feet to 6,000 feet will add much value. “We’re all in favour of expanding the airport. The question is how and to what extent.” Coun. Ryan Boehme called on his colleagues to “take a leap of faith,” while urging political opponents should stop trying to stall the expansion. “There are 13 of us around the table. There are going to be things you win and things you don’t.”
Mayor Paterson joined with councillors Kevin George, Liz Schell, Laura Turner, Richard Allen, Ryan Boehme and Adam Candon in approving the project manager’s contract. Councillors Jim Neill, Lisa Osanic, Peter Stroud, Mary Rita Holland, Rob Hutchison and Jeff McLaren voted against it. With a contract in place for a private manager, the next step will be to seek bids this fall for a company to complete the design-build phase. That contract is also expected to come to council for further approvals. Work on the airport expansion is expected to begin in early 2017, and should take about a year to compete.
TICO#50007364
doesn’t mean it’s going to be spent,” complained Coun. Jeff McLaren. Mayor Bryan Paterson cautioned councillors to focus on the contract award itself, but the debate soon expanded into whether the runway expansion was really needed. Some argued that council’s prior approvals did not factor in recent public feedback following the release of environmental and noise impact studies. While experts guiding both studies say the runway expansion would cause minimal long-term impacts, many residents remain skeptical. The owners of Collins Bay Marina near the airport’s northern boundary say additional planes and noise could kill their long-time family business. They want the runway extension scrapped. Coun. Peter Stroud says concerns from residents have not been thoroughly debated by politicians, adding there’s an impression the expansion is being “rushed through” by the “wishes of a select few.” Mayor Paterson, a staunch airport expansion supporter, says council’s capital budget that was approved last fall - $7 million for a larger terminal and $9 million for a longer runway - was the final decision as far as he’s concerned. “I appreciate concerns of the neighbours,” he said, adding noise concerns were addressed by the consultants. “I’m satisfied this is a fair approach.” Coun. Laura Turner, whose Lakeside district includes the west end airport, calls it a “very tough” issue but doesn’t want to “rehash” the airport debate. “We just signed off on a $13 million library with no debate,” she said, referring to a facelift for the downtown library branch which

with the International Association of Firefighters’ protocol for a line of duty death. Pidgeon enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces in 1994 and devoted 22 years to his country as a reserv-
ist with a number of deployments, including serving in Bosnia and two tours of Afghanistan. He served as a correctional officer at Kingston Pen from 2003 – 2013, and at Millhaven Institution from 2013 until his death. He joined Loyalist Township Emergency Services as a firefighter in August of 2015. Pidgeon leaves behind a wife and son.
“Patrick Pidgeon was a very humble and private man,” said Loyalist Township mayor Bill Lowry. “Through his life, no matter the mission that he chose - as a spouse, parent, military officer, correctional services officer, emergency responder and firefighter – he was committed to all of these with the same principles of dedication, passion and pride to serve
and protect all. Patrick leaves a legacy that is second to none.” “Pride, passion and dedication – Fire Fighter Pidgeon was guided by theses value in every endeavor,” said Loyalist Township Emergency Services Fire Chief Fred Stephenson. “His path was one that gave him honour and pride.”

Two OPP officers taken to hospital after collision between cruiser, milk truck By Cris Vilela
Two OPP officers with the Napanee detachment were taken to hospital on the afternoon of July 20 after their cruiser was involved in a motor vehicle collision with a large milk truck on County Road 4 in Loyalist Township. Loyalist Emergency Services and the OPP reported that two patients were treated on scene and transported to hospital for continued treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries. OPP say the driver of the milk truck did not sustain any injury. According to witnesses on the scene, one officer suffered a broken shoulder and the other head injuries. Krista Corcoran was driving by at around 2:30
p.m., shortly after the collision occurred. “I didn’t even realize it had involved a police cruiser at first, it was one of those dark cruisers with faint lettering so I couldn’t tell,” she explained. “Me and another guy who also stopped went to the driver’s side of the car and got the constable in the driver’s seat out. He said his shoulder was broken and couldn’t move it.” Corcoran and the unidentified male Good Samaritan then moved to help the detective, who was in the passenger seat, but found that the passenger side door was lodged against a sign post and could not be opened. “He was unconscious and had a big gash on the back of his head. We had to get him out through the driver’s side door when we couldn’t open the passenger door.”
The OPP detective regained consciousness shortly thereafter. Corcoran and other passersby remained until EMS and other OPP cruisers arrived. Corcoran saw the incident as an opportunity to repay the kindness that her family had experienced at the hands of another OPP officer last year. “OPP Sargent Earle saved my sister’s life back in November last year when she was in an acci-

dent. When I was speaking with the officers after we pulled them out, I found out that they work with him. It was good to be able to help and thank them.” As of press time, the cause of the crash was under investigation by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). The driver of the cruiser remained in hospital and the passenger was released after being treated for facial injuries.

Photo/Mandy Marciniak tems after natural filtration, but in the city it falls on paved surfaces, roofs and other places and it can’t soak in,” he explained. “Then you end up with excess run off that can leak into basements or it ends up in storm sewers with contaminants from the pavement.” To demonstrate exactly what a rain garden is, Ross and local volunteers built a garden at the Kingston Free Methodist Church, complete with hearty plants, a bowl like design and strategically placed rocks. “They are bowl shaped so the water is channelled towards the center and the plants that like a lot of moisture are placed there too,” he explained. “There are also rocks placed where a downspout is to distribute
the water throughout the garden and prevent the ground in that spot from eroding and creating a mess.” Ross estimates that a full rain garden could be built at a cost of about $500 – a small fee when you consider the costs associated with a flood. Initially, the OTF funding will pay for six residential gardens in the neighbourhood, but the challenge is figuring out where these gardens are necessary; that is where the Kingscourt Community Association comes in. “We are going door to door to find who has had a flooded basement,” explained Lucinda Bray, a member of the association. “We are also hoping people will come forward, especially after they see the great garden here and understand what a rain garden is.” Bray sees a lot of value in the gardens too, not just in terms of their ability to prevent flooding, and she hopes homeowners will Established 1876 also see that. “The big picture is, environLocal People providing Local People with mentally, it is important to be able FARM • HOME • AUTO to filter water so • CONDOMINIUM • COMMERCIAL that it doesn’t go into a basement • INSURANCE or go into a storm sewer carrying a 24 Hour Emergency Claim Response 1-800-722-9556 lot of contaminants,” she said. “But at a person level, if I had one of those houses where the basement got wet frequently, this is a low cost, pretty, Harrowsmith Office Napanee Office attractive and environmentally 613-372-2980 613-354-4810 friendly solution.

Teachers learn about ‘innovating and integrating with iPads’ By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – It may be July, but some teachers in Ontario headed back to school last week. Educators across the province educated themselves through the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Summer Academy; here in Kingston, a variety of teachers learned about using iPads in their classrooms. “We are transforming learning and transforming relationships using technology,” explained Carrie Daniels, a teacher with the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board and one of the facilitators of the ‘Innovating and Integrating with iPads’ course that took place at Lancaster Public School. “We have low tech mixed with high tech and we haven’t thrown out the reading and writing and creating with pencil and painting or toys, we are just using technology to enhance all that.” The three-day course taught kindergarten to Grade 3 teachers to embrace technology and gave them a basic understanding of apps like Twitter, Pic Collage, Green Screen Wizard, Lego Movie Maker and more. “We are using all of these apps to build stories and then share them with a wider audience,” explained Daniels. “For example, Green Screen Wizard, can put the students anywhere they want to be to tell a historical story or to explore a specific place, Pic Collage is great for demonstrating learning or showing a series of tasks like how to get dressed for winter or for showing the steps of a math problem. It can all be used to integrate with learning.” Engagement and collaboration are the main focuses of the course and in order to teach educators about that, the facilitators worked to encourage engagement and collaboration within the course. “We are showing them that if a four or five year old child can do it, they can do it too,” said Anja Kitchen
who also helped facilitate the course. “This isn’t about using iPads to play games, it is all about building and using higher level thinking skills to put projects together.” For Kelly Boriotis, a teacher at Welbourne Public School, the course was also about looking for new ideas to get students engaged and she definitely felt that these strategies would achieve that. “It has been really great,” she said. “I think this also taps into different strengths that different students may have depending on their learning style and needs and I think it will engage students that may have special needs and may give them other avenues to demonstrate their understanding.” The facilitators also worked to show teachers that they don’t need a huge budget in order to use these apps and the technology. “We have cost effective ways to apply all of this in the classroom like using green paper from the dollar store for green screens and using straws from Starbucks to hold up props on the screen,” said Daniels. “We even got iPad stands for two dollars. We don’t want them to go back to their schools and feel like they can’t do this on their own because they don’t have the resources.” All of the skills taught at the course can be applied to existing curriculum and can even be applied up to Grade 8. Daniels hopes that the teachers will use the skills they learned to extend the learning in their classrooms and she is very encouraged by how well all of the teachers responded. “These teachers have surpassed our expectations. We are approaching them in a similar way that we approach the students and they have really embraced it,” she said. “Research shows that when teachers are passionate about learning, kids become passionate too and this really contributes to that passion.”

EDITORIAL
In Our Opinion
My trip to the Pen the tour focuses on the history of the Kingston Penitentiary, and what daily life would have been like throughout the pen. I don’t want to give too much away, but the tour takes you through various major hubs behind the walls. You get a glimpse into the cells, the workshops, the recreation yard and you also get to hear from Correction Service Canada guards who spent time in the prison while it was open. Sure, this may not be interesting for some people and I totally get that, but the history is what really impressed me. I like exploring historical sites and learning about how and when they were built and in some cases even rebuilt. In the case of Kingston Pen, there is a lot of history to draw on and the only downside to the tour is that so much of the pen was dismantled immediately after it closed. The tour excludes buildings like the on site hospital or gymnasium simply because the rooms are now in disrepair and not suitable for tours. Even in the areas that are open to the tour, not much is left; ta-
Last week Korey and I took a trip to Kingston Penitentiary. Like so many others, we were interested to see what is behind the big gates that face out onto King St. and we weren’t disappointed. I know that touring a prison is unappealing for a lot of people and many Kingston residents that have grown up with the Pen just down the street don’t have any desire to tour the Pen, but I really think the tour was worthwhile and very informative. From the beginning it is made clear that the tour is not about the notorious prisoners who spent time behind the walls. The guides inform tour goers that the best place for their inquiries about those people is Google and that they will not be answering questions about those individuals. Instead,
bles have been ripped out and ceremonial garden spaces dismantled and that is such a shame. I’m not saying that I want to see the pen exactly as it was when prisoners were walking the halls, that is a bit creepy, but it would be interesting, especially in the future, to have certain areas of the prison preserved more. Another aspect of the pen that impressed me was the shear size of the prison behind the front gates. When you drive past those gates you think about the prison inside, but when you stand in there it feels enormous and almost like it is a gated community. No mater how many times you hear that it was Canada’s largest prison, it doesn’t really click until you are inside. Overall, the tour was pretty great. Our guide was informative, she answered a lot of questions and even told anecdotes about attempted escapes throughout the tour. I walked away with the feeling that I had learned more about Kingston and the history of one of the city’s most famous landmarks and for me, that was definitely worth the time and money.
Letter to the editor
Need for and benefits of Kingston airport expansion not there Dear Editor, In the July 14 edition of The Heritage a letter to the editor indicated that ‘... a few people’s personal interests’ are against the majority of airport users. Actually the opponents of the expansion are more than a few, as attested to by the standing room only crowd at the ‘Noise’ meeting at St. Lawrence College. Attending this meeting I was amazed at the possibly fudged ‘noise figures’ presented by the engineering company and some intelligent questions from the audience threw into disrepute the anticipated economic benefits to Kingston and the validity of the 1,000 ft runway expansion to allow a larger variety of aircraft to serve Kingston. The runway is to be extended from 5,000 to 6,000 feet. Not really much of an extension and not necessary for such

new aircraft as the Bombardier’s CS 100 class that can carry 108 to 133 passengers at a time from a 4,000-foot runway. It was designed for both major and regional airports and has a range of over 5,500 km (Kingston to London (UK) is just less than 5,500 km), and is both a more environmentally friendly and quieter option. The anticipated cost of the expansion is $16 million and it would not be illogical to add on at least $4 million for the usual cost over-runs and I would not even hazard a guess as regards the time over-runs. In my opinion the need and benefits to Kingston, of this airport expansion, are just not there.

Five things to know about the Canada Child Benefit If you are the parent of one or more children from the age of zero to 17, chances are your bank account swelled a bit larger than usual on July 20. That day saw the introduction of one the federal Liberals’ signature social benefit: the Canada Child Benefit. Here are five things you might want to know about this benefit: 1) For most families the Canada Child Benefit is bigger than its predecessors, the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) and the Universal Child Care Benefit UCCB. It still has two payment levels, one for children aged zero to six and another for ages six to 17; however the gulf between the two is no longer so stark. Now, to give credit to where credit is due, Prime Minister Stephen Harper began this process when he expanded the Universal Child Care Benefit from $100 to $160 for children aged zero to six, and to $60 from $160 for older children, but the geared-to income Canada Child Benefit typically outperforms both of these credits. Unless you have a combined family net income of over $200,000 - in which case you will no longer receive any benefit. 2) Unlike the UCCB, the CCB is not taxable, meaning that you won’t be getting dinged at tax time. Also important to note, however, is that the Canada Child Benefit also witnessed the demise of some very popular tax credits including the child fitness benefits, the children’s arts tax credit, as well as the credit for textbooks and the education tax credits. Tuition will remain a deductible expense. 3) Because the benefit is based upon net family’s combined net income, you do have to file your taxes to be eligible for benefit -just another reason to be an early filer. With several free software options out there, there’s no reason to file. If you required assistance with your returns, look for your local community income tax volunteer clinic to assist with your returns. 4) The program will be indexed to inflation starting in 2020. That means that if the total cost of living increases two per cent per year over the net four years, the real purchasing power of your benefit will have declined by about eight per cent before it kicks in. 5) Though not in any official government guide, the new benefit may well lay the groundwork for what is almost certain to be the 21st century’s signature social achievement: the universal income. The CCB is the most ambitious social benefit in a generation, aimed at bringing thousands of Canadian families out of poverty and reasserting the purchasing power of the Canadian middle class. Presently, the only people not receiving a government benefit are childless people aged 18 to 65 (who not are currently on CPP disability, EI, or Provincial social welfare programs). Can closing that gap really be that for off?

New County logo/branding just the same old wine in a brand new, boring bottle tor,” said Coun. Denis Doyle. “Without the explanation, I wouldn’t have known what the colours meant.” “I like the simplicity but I have a bit of a problem with the black leaf in the water,” said Coun. Natalie Nossal. “It looks like debris floating down the river.” Both North Frontenac repre-
sentatives, Ron Higgins and John Inglis, said exactly the same thing in a different order. “No ‘wow’ factor but I like the simplicity.” “I didn’t care for it when I first saw it but it’s grown on me a bit,” said Warden Frances Smith. “I don’t even think there is a fir tree in Frontenac Islands,” said Doyle.
It really doesn’t matter what Council thinks though. Staff already went ahead and printed up a bunch of stuff (banners, stationary, etc) with the new logo on it. Hell, they even put it on the side of one of those new dinky little cars, so Council had little choice but to accept it. It’s a waste of money, to be sure, but it’s unlikely it’ll last
any longer than Frontenac Management Board did. Let’s face it, there simply aren’t that many people that are going to buy into the idea of dropping the word “County” because there really isn’t any reason to. This is just another attempt at being trendy from the people who brought you “Wildly Important Goals.”
LEASE THE 2017
Column — Nobody on Frontenac County Council other than Coun. John McDougall who said “I think it’s very attractive” and Coun. Tom Dewey who said nothing at all seemed very impressed by the County’s new ‘logo’ and ‘brand’ unveiled at last week’s Council meeting in Glenburnie. For $40,000, the County got a new logo that looks suspiciously like it was ripped off from Ontario Parks and a bunch of bafflegab about ‘branding’ things like Frontenac this and Frontenac that. Granted, most of the cost will likely be paid from a grant the County is expecting to get but still - is this the best we can come up with? According to the kid from Redtrain! (notice the ridiculous and unnecessary exclamation mark) making the presentation, this new ‘logo/brand’ is “simple, memorable, relevant, distinctive, adaptable and enduring.” Well, as for simple, he needed to explain to everybody that the four balsam fir trees represent the four townships and the gray part was the Canadian Shield. If by memorable he meant forgettable, then OK. Relevant begs the question “to what?” As for distinctive, well, several councilors mentioned how much it reminded them of the Ontario Parks logo. Adaptable and enduring are kind of related because chances are it won’t ‘endure’ very long and will be adapted into something else. The logo comes with some rather indecipherable instructions to use it along with words like canoeing, or fishing or whatever as in Explore Frontenac. Dep. Warden Ron Vandewal probably had the most relevant comment to that. “I’d still like to see the word ‘County’ in there, he said. “I’d have to explore whether it was a fort or a beer.” Other councilors were less complimentary. “It didn’t have any ‘wow’ fac-

Doctors hope new Kingston Fertility Center will better serve patients and reduce wait times By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com
News – For patients seeking fertility treatments in Kingston, life just got easier. On July 13, the new Kingston Fertility Center opened its doors for the first time. The center came out of collaboration between the Ottawa Fertility Center and the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kingston General Hospital. Doctors hope that the new center will better serve a growing number of patients in the area. “We’ve had a partnership with KGH for over 20 years now,” explained Dr. Delani
Kotarba, a member of the Ottawa Fertility Center team. “Patients from the area come to Ottawa for their actual In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments, but their initial appointments and pre-treatments were taken care of by KGH. With a growing number of patients, it was becoming overwhelming.” Wait times were also a factor in the decision to start a new center in Kingston; with only two doctors at KGH taking care of preIVF patients for a large catchment area, wait times were substantial and in some cases as long as nine months. “We noticed that patients were starting to come to Ottawa for their consultations as well

Photo/Mandy Marciniak because they didn’t want to wait at KGH,” said Kotarba. “So we thought it would be a good idea to come to this area and service this population, not as a competitor with KGH, but as a partner.” The new clinic, located at 1473 John Counter Boulevard, is still in the initial stages of setting up, but as more patients become interested, it will be fully equipped with a blood clinic, pharmacy, ultra sound machines and examination rooms allowing patients to do everything necessary in preparation for
their IVF treatment. “Our physicians from Ottawa will also be coming here in the beginning and rotating week to week,” said Kotarba. “It is also likely that the doctors working at KGH will spend some time working here too. It is a real partnership that is a continuation of what we did in the past with the fertility group at KGH.” The clinic will also serve a growing number of patients seeking IVF after the Ontario government made an announcement in December of last year that they will cover one IVF treatment for couples under the age of 43. Response to the center has already been positive and Kotarba had a full day of patients to see on July 13. Eventually, a full-time physician Saturday, August 20 – 9am – 4pm will be hired for the center, but in the meantime, Kotarba will also serve Sunday, August 21 – 9am – 3pm patients over the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). Admission $8.00 “We can set up appointments in 12 and under FREE with an adult this office and then meet with our patients over a Skype like system,” 1400ft of Displays explained Kotarba. “We can talk reEastern Ontario’s Best Show! motely and it is covered by OHIP.

It is a lovely space and it is nice to not be in a hospital. It is really accessible, there is free parking – it’s perfect.”

talented artists. I thought that would be a really good way of using their talents in order to help NephCure.” She remarks that she was rather overwhelmed by the supportive response from the arts community. “I’m amazed at the amount of people coming. There are kids from my high school, people I danced with, people like that, but also people that I’ve never met before. We reached out to them because we knew their art in Kingston and they
Back in February, The Heritage told you about a four-year-old girl, Allie, who suffers from a rare form of nephrotic syndrome for which there is no cure or even specific treatment. Five months later, there is still no cure but Allie remains in stable condition after continuing to receive a mix of treatments generally used for other similar nephrotic diseases. On July 30, community members are invited to attend a special fundraiser being held in Allie’s honour. ‘For the Love of Al’ will take place from 7 – 11 p.m. at the Tett Centre and feature a variety of local arts entertainment. “I’ve been working with Allie for several years now and our family is really close with their family,” say Cameron Hill-Watson, 18, who is organizing the event along with Allie’s mom, Sandy. Thanks in part to Hill-Watson’s family, Allie, whose immune-compromising medications force her to live in a sort of ‘micro-world’ where she has minimal contact with the public, is able to have some fun outside the home and play with friends her own age. “We’ve known her since she was two years old,” Hill-Watson says, explaining that she’s worked as Allie’s nanny for the past two summers. “She’s really sweet; she’s good friends with my sister. She comes over to our place a couple of days a week and we go over there a couple of days a week to help out.” All funds raised at For the Love of Al will go to NephCure, the only organization that actively raises money for the various forms of steroiddependant nephrotic syndrome and FSGS (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, the cause of NS in about one sixth of the cases, including Allie’s) and advocates for those living with the disease. “It’s a disease that has very little treatment, no cure and not a lot of research. Because it’s so rare, no one really knows about it and so there’s not a lot of funding for research.” The event will feature a concert by the band Talk of the Street – “they’re extremely talented so we’re super excited about that”,” notes Hill-Watson. There will also be a silent auction featuring art pieces from many different Canadian artists, a performance by dancer Steph Rushlow, who has created a new piece inspired by Allie’s story, and more. “We were looking at what kinds of things Allie, 4, is the inspiration behind the For we have at our disposal,” says Hill-Watson. the Love of Al fundraiser for NephCure, tak“We know that the art community in Kingston ing place July 30 at the Tett Centre.

said yes, for sure.” This being the first event of its kind, Hill-Watson says it’s difficult to come up with an exact monetary fundraising goal. More than anything, she’d like to simply to raise awareness of this condition. “These kids are really, really sick, living in isolation and no one even knows that they’re here,” she
says. “We hope that people learn what [nephrotic syndrome] is and how there isn’t a cure - it’s so rare that the only treatments they have are treatments from other diseases that are similar.” For the Love of Al will take place Saturday, July 30 at the Tett Centre from 7 – 11 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door.

property. But because of the unique 138-metre depth of the lot, officials say the Hillendale laneway would improve access, connectivity and marketability of the site. “This would allow the back of the property to be opened up,” explained Sheldon Laidman, director of housing and social services. The unopened road allowance was established in 1946. It is 15 metres wide and 67 metres long. It’s valued at about $150,000, which a future developer would have to pay the city. Laidman says only six metres of width is needed to establish private driveway access, leaving about nine metres that can be landscaped as a buffer for residents. That explanation seemed to satisfy most councillors, who voted 7-5 to include the unused roadway as part of future development plans. They also approved a plan to issue a request for proposals to seek builders interested in developing the one hectare (2.5 acre) property at 1316-1318 Princess Street. Coun. Liz Schell wants future
residents of the site to have another way of getting into and out of the buildings, rather than just using the main access off Princess Street near Portsmouth Avenue. “I’d rather have some of the traffic on Princess Street not popping in and out (of the future buildings) on that hill.” Mayor Bryan Paterson says there will be plenty of room for landscaped space once the laneway is opened. He adds that Kingston needs to consider the bigger picture of providing affordable housing. “We don’t have a lot of these parcels to work with.” As an added incentive to potential builders, the city is itself taking on the responsibility of making sure all of the zoning requirements are done in advance. The rezoning application is expected to be submitted to planners and council later this summer. Conceptual designs unveiled at a public open house last May show a total of 236 apartment units with 273 parking spaces. In addition, the taller building would have room for commercial uses on the ground floor such as a variety store, coffer shop or dry
cleaners. Laidman says rezoning the site, from commercial to residential, should make it more attractive to potential developers. “We’re going through the zoning process ourselves first. So a developer will know what they could build on the property before bidding on it.” The winning bidder will be expected to dedicate at least one-quarter of the total housing units as affordable housing where rents are fixed at 80 per cent of the current market values. In return for affordable housing guarantees, the city intends to sell the property for much less than its market value. The city paid $1.5 million for 1316-1318 Princess Street about three years ago.

Kingston pickelball courts to be relocated after neighbour complaints By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston’s growing number of Pickleball players will soon get more elbow room. The city has agreed to create four new racquet courts in Bayridge Park, four in Riverview Park in the downtown and four more Grenadier Park in the east. “More people play Pickleball than hockey,” said David Bussiere, president of the Limestone Pickleball Club. Bussiere says the low impact sport has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, due to the game’s popularity among those over the age of 40. The game, which started in the 1960s, combines badminton, tennis and table tennis using solid wood paddles, nets and perforated polymer balls. It’s now considered the fastest growing sport in North America. Pickleball courts are small and two games can be played on one tennis court at the same time. Players have been flocking to local tennis courts, but the popularity led to problems in Henderson Park in the west end.
Neighbours complained about the game noise between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, prompting the city to relocate the players to other parks that are further away from homes. “We want to be good neighbours,” explained Bussiere. Two tennis courts in Bayridge, Riverview and Grenadier parks will get specially painted lines to allow Pickleball games to be played. The courtside improvements should be completed by later this summer. Bussiere says his club has had requests to host provincial and national Pickleball tournaments, attracting hundreds of players, but lacks proper facilities at the moment. “We are looking for a permanent, dedicated site,” he added. City officials say the next update to the parks and recreation master plan in 2017 will consider dedicated Pickleball courts to reflect the growing popularity of the sport. But, for now, the players will have to continue sharing space on municipal tennis courts.

Events – Over the past few weeks, Confederation Park and many other places in Kingston have been buzzing with Pokémon Goers; Jessie Johnston is one of those ‘goers’ and as she saw the response the game was receiving, she wondered if the game could also benefit the community. “It was a random thought as I was driving to Wonderland,” she explained. “The community in Kingston had grown so quickly in such a short period of time and I saw how eager everyone was just to do Pokémon meet ups. I suggested doing a charity event to a few people and everyone I spoke to thought it was a great idea. It just exploded from there.” Much like the mobile game itself, the event, which takes place on July 30, took off very quickly. Johnston and a group of nine organizers started thinking of what they could do to attract people and make the event more appealing and the ideas kept coming. “It is really exciting,” said Johnston. “We are working on setting up some games and getting raffle prizes and setting off lures for the game throughout the day too. Just making it a really fun day for people, but with the added bonus of giving back to the community.” Raffle prizes will include 3-D printed Pokémon figures, stuffed toys, locally made Pokémon crafts and even a custom Pokémon hat with your chosen team logo created by Turtle Cat Designs. For the charitable side of the event, the group decided to give donations to the Partners in Mission Food Bank and as participants donate items, they will receive raffle tickets. They also arranged to work with one of the hot dog vendors in Confederation Park

for the event. “I’ll be donating 50 cents from each hot dog sold to the food bank,” said vendor Scott Hallman. “These Pokémon Go players have supported my business a lot over the past few weeks and it is really important that I integrate myself into their community as well. I couldn’t say no.” In addition to organizing the event, Johnston and co-organizer Brittany Sears are also looking forward to playing Pokémon Go during the event. Both have been getting more and more into the game over the past few weeks and they also see it as more than just a video game. “When I first got the game I was all excited If is where the is… to go out with THEN LET US HELP KEEP YOU THERE! my kids and find We believe in individualized one on one care that happens in the Pokémon with comfort of your own home.

Kingston Pokémon Go users invited to level up and give back to their community house more and I am meeting people too. It is a really social game and I think people don’t realize that.” For Johnston, the game has also made her more active and social, but it has also been educational, especially when it comes to land-
marks in the city. “We drove by Sir John A’s law office today and it is a Poke Stop and I read about it,” she said. “I would have never done that before. I love history, but I never would have known about that place without Pokémon.” Both Johnston and Sears acknowledge that there has been some negativity surrounding the game, especially when it comes to personal safety, but they feel that a lot of those issues can be prevented through common sense. “The game tells you to be aware of your surroundings and people need to be more cautious,” said Johnston. “At least with an event like this, everyone can come to the park, play with each other and hopefully be safe too.” Sears is hoping that a good number of people show up and that maybe players who haven’t played but are interested come out too. “It is all about community. We have an amazing community here and this is a great way for them to come together even more,” she said. “It is a great opportunity for everyone to get out and have some fun, enjoy the summer and give back.” The Pokémon Go Kingston Community Food Drive takes place July 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Confederation Park.

Rough and tumble camaraderie By Mark Bergin
TICO#50007364
With moves and body hits that would make your average FIFA player squeal like a pig and collapse in “pain,” the Kingston Derby Girls block, pummel even, and try to outdo their opponents on the flat track at the Kingston Memorial Centre. The local roller derby club recently completed the qualifying requirements to become full members of WFTDA, the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association. Last Saturday, Kingston’s premier charter team, the Rogue Warriors, losing a close and hard-fought battle against the WFTDA-sanctioned Toronto G-Stars, showed they were ready for the big time. The rules of roller derby are explained on the Kingston Derby Girls (kingstonderbygirls.com) website. Essentially, roller derby is a battle on an oval track between two teams, with each having five players on the track. Play is divided into two-minute periods, called jams. The skater in the jammer’s role scores points by passing opponents. Opposing blockers and pivots try to stop or slow down the jammer. Players may block or check using their shoulders, upper arms, hips, or upper legs. Tripping, punching, and shoving are illegal and can lead to penalties, which can lead a player to the Sin Bin (penalty box). Outside of player names, there are no theatrics in this sport. You won’t find posturing and drama-queen tactics like those in soccer or the diving in hockey. Roller derby is tough stuff. When a player is blocked and sent flying to the ground, fans feel the crunch of flesh, muscle and bone meeting concrete. During last week’s game, two members of the Kingston team, nursing broken legs in casts, sat in the audience. It’s fitting that the contests are referred to as bouts, not games. It’s a battle on the track. There’s no let up in the bumping and thumping. It’s a fascinating sport, involving the best of many other competitions. You’ve got the strategic planning of chess or baseball and the hard hitting and rough

stuff typical of rugby and football, with a rather minimal set of protective gear: helmet, knee and elbow pads. What is striking about the nature of
this sport is its family friendliness. There is none of the fan or player ugliness you find in many professional (or even amateur) sports, never mind the idiocy or gang battles found around European soccer stadiums. Even between
rivals, opposing teammates check on one another and offer a friendly pat on the shoulder after a hard fall on the M-Centre’s concrete floor. I was told by members of the Kingston team that after the previous week’s game in Syracuse, the host team had gone out socializing with the Kingston folks following
the game, which Kingston won. “I told my cousin, who plays hockey, we were going to the after-party. My cousin was quite surprised that the after-parties are so mixed with players from both teams. Continued on page 22

Sure, there are nicer teams and crueller teams. But by the time we get to the beer, everyone’s let it go. If not, they just say that something was really douchey, they get it off their chest and they have time to regroup and get it back together.” Some of the Derby Girls publicly go by their real names; others only identify with their derby names. Team member Madge Maggiacomo (Mad Madge) has been responsible for much of the administrative work that has gone into the team reaching full membership in WFTDA. She said WFTDA recognition means that the team will have an opportunity to play more competitive teams and to play in major tournaments. Roller derby worldwide is gaining a lot of recognition. “We are slowly but surely getting a more comprehensive and consistent rule set, which makes it easier for Roller
Derby to maybe eventually become an Olympic sport.” The WFTDA requirements for Kingston to move from status as an apprentice team to full membership have been time consuming. “It takes a lot of womanpower to maintain and meet those requirements,” said Maggiacomo. She said that one of the final requirements is called a mock sanction bout. The Kingston team fulfilled this requirement last Saturday. “It’s a major component of the requirements,” said Maggiacomo. “It’s up to the derby gods now. In January 2014, we were accepted as an apprentice league, and that set everything in motion.” Maggiacomo echoed what many women describe as their attraction to derby. “It’s a full contact sport, and I really love the roller derby community. So many great and loving people play, ref and volunteer for this sport. I have been playing since September 2011, and I don’t ever see an end for me.”
Zed, one of Mad Madge’s Rogue Warrior teammates and the head of training for the league, said that it’s now a waiting game to determine if and when they are accepted for full membership in WFTDA. She said that many of the requirements for recognition have to do with making sure the team and league have infrastructure in place. Zed is the captain and skater for the charter team (The Rogue Warriors) and plays on the local league team, The Disloyalists. She shares Mad Madge’s love for the sport. “At the end of the day, it’s a strategy game on skates with a lot of bulldozing and heavy hitting,” she said. “That’s the fun part.” Zed entered the league in 2010 when she joined at the “fresh meat” level. That’s where skaters learn the finer points of the game and improve their skating skills. When ready, she joined a team, the Limestone Crushers, before moving on to a Watertown, New York team. After Watertown, she moved to a Belleville team, which she also helped coach, before returning to

Kingston. She said last Saturday’s WFTDA mock bout was a full “I’m about to kick your ass bout. It was a formal game with the roster of skaters approved, a full referee crew and non-skating crew, along with stats kept for all the penalties, jams and strikes per jam.” The coach of Kingston’s Rogue Warriors is Nicole (Vishous) Lee, who travels from Watertown to work with the team. “She’s an amazing coach, and we’re a tight-knit little team,” said Zed. She explained that the camaraderie is one of the things that draws her to derby. “One of the biggest things I love about this sport is how much is shared. Teams share their playing and coaching skills with other teams. Not many sports would do that, but we as a community want to get better, so we foster each other’s development with tips and tools. It’s not mean-spirited. We’re just a group of people enjoying the sport.” The team is a diverse collection with the only unifying theme being a love for derby. “We’ve had lawyers, police officers, engineers, profs and waitresses on the
team,” said Zed. “You look at the team and you’ve got every shape under the sun. We’re all willing to wear spandex. There’s muscle and strength, and we’re fearless. It’s a totally different way of looking at what it is to be a woman.” Zed and her husband have two daughters, and she said she likes the message that derby gives to young women. “I look at my own daughters and the dynamics of what we teach them. When they see roller derby, they see power and women able to make their own way without needing protection. There’s real woman power. The biggest thing is not skating skills, it’s determination and self-discipline. Motivation will fail you when things get hard, but self-discipline and inspiration keep you going. What you see on this team on the track is six or seven years of hard work.” Each of the jammers on Kingston’s Rogue Warriors is beyond gutsy, operating at the fearless superwoman level. One of them, Lil Knickers, wears a short skirt, and amidst grace and more than a touch of class, does any number of definitely unladylike moves to smash her way through blockers to reach the front of the pack. Another, (#15) Fist N Shout, is relatively petite, but rock solid. She did things I did not think were possible. “Yeah, she’s an insane jammer,” said Zed. “ The things she can do are unbelievable. She comes to us from gymnastics. I think she could go out there and do this on stilettos.” Anyone interested in roller derby starts at the fresh meat level, where they learn to skate as well as getting to feel the knocks of the game. “If someone finds they are intimidated by contact, but still wants to be involved, there are lots of opportunities. They can still become part of the community. We need referees and nonskating officials who play an absolutely essential role in this league.” If you’re interested in finding out more about the Kingston team or you’d like to try things out at the fresh meat level, contact info@kingstonderbygirls.com Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.
Pear pizza on the grill a great summer appetizer This appetizer is perfect for casual entertaining at the cottage or in your backyard. It goes well with either a VQA white wine or an Ontario craft beer.

Emerson tests out Mary’s dislike for mud pout
HELP WANTED
Plant Production Associate – 2 Year Contract Belleville, Ontario Job # MFG00005235 Our Belleville manufacturing site is seeking highly motivated, reliable and flexible individuals with a commitment to safety and total quality to be a part of our diverse operating teams. Production associates are required to learn to operate high-speed equipment and operate fork trucks, handling many products including chemicals in a safe environment on a rotating shift schedule. These positions are on a 2 year renewable contract. Production associates must be able to work well individually and as part of a self-directed team handling multiple priorities in an ever-changing environment.
My dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table, where, when laid out on the platter, I wouldn’t dare cast an eye, knowing perfectly well, I would be sick as a dog at the very sight. Mother knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead. My three brothers would wander down to the river this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo, and would have a pail full, ready for Mother to cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.” My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big black iron fry pan, and vision the fish, which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in the pan was because they were still alive, which distressed me even further. The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when once again, a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and

the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air like gossamer clouds, and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery. Father had peeled off his plaid shirt, and Emerson went upstairs and came down in his underwear. I couldn’t wait to crawl into the fresh cool flour bag sheets and hopefully feel a bit of night air come in the window near the bed, and put the thought of the ugly mud pout out of my mind. Usually my brothers complained about going to bed. They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen. I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. And then my feet touched something...wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed bloody murder; Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar. Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout first. It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey to change the sheets, even though they had been put on fresh that day, and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout. I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block, and the ugly mud pout. And long into the night, I thought I could hear Emerson downstairs in the kitchen, laughing his head off!

A run for Wolfe Island heroes
FRANKLIN
a growing number of our friends, family and neighbours bravely fighting this terrible disease. In a small community like Wolfe Island, the sudden tragedy of cancer striking one of our friends has left many of us feeling helpless and wanting to show our support in a positive way.” Adding, on this occasion, ”Wolfe Island Heroes and many so young.” Kristina Walker invites everyone to join her on August 20th at any point in the 25km run ( to walk, run, bike) as much as they can to show support for these “Wolfe Island Heroes.” The run, dedicated to all Islanders who have fought or are still fighting cancer, and to those who have lost their lives to this tragic disease, begins at 9 am from the foot of Wolfe Island and will end in Marysville where, in partnership with Fargo’s General store, a BBQ will follow at 12 noon. Donations will be collected online through people sponsoring runners and during the event. Pledge forms are also available to anyone who wish to raise funds or seek sponsorship for their portion of the run, walk or bike. If anyone is interested in getting involved, volunteers are needed to make the event run smoothly. Email wolfeislandheroes@gmail.com with any questions. Please note, proceeds of the run will be donated directly to the Kingston Cancer Clinic (University Hospitals Kingston
Foundation). The UHKF was created in 2005 as the joint fundraising arm of Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston General Hospital and Providence Care amalgamated (2014), with the foundations at each of the hospitals creating the new UHKF organization, responsible for fundraising, granting, distribution and reporting. You can donate in support of Kristina Walker’s efforts in-person, or by calling UHKF at 613-549-5452 or by making a gift online. 2. Stones and Stained Glass: Special Collection A recent bulletin announcement about Wolfe Island’s Sacred Heart of Mary Church, by Pastor Fr. Raymond de Sousa, outlined the work that has been done over the years to maintain the church in good order, a beautiful church as Father put it “which previous generations built and maintained”, and the need for a parish “Stones and Stained Glass” Special Collection. He noted the most recent stone work done by the late Gerald Eves in 2013, with some work remaining, along with trough and drain replacement, all of which will require a lift. The Marian Grotto stonework is completed. It will be re-dedicated Sun. Aug. 28 after Sunday Mass. Stone work at all old stone buildings is a regular requirement. But it was the news that the stained glass windows need care that came as a shock. Anyone who has ever been inside the church can’t help but notice their outstanding beauty. “Three of them (blue background colour) need rebuild-
ing due to significant warping or bowing, one in the chapel, and two windows on the east wall on either side of the church entrance. Further work is required in the main church around the windows, where they open and close, wooden window sills, window sashes and encasements. Repairs for all of this will cost in the thousands of dollars”. I remember my first visit to Sacred Heart of Mary Church. I was struck immediately by its beauty, the obvious care it received and the pride of the parish community (many relatives of those whose generosity and hard work built it), who continue to maintain it. The work will get done Ask about its history when you visit the Old House Museum on Wolfe Island.

Amherstview designer stumbles upon calling for carpentry By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
A couple of years ago, Rob Purvis got sick of giving people the same old, store bought Christmas gifts, so he decided to make original wood items for his friends and family instead. “Everybody already has everything so I thought I’d make something unique and different,” says Purvis, who by day is a graphic designer with Metroland (and occasional Loyalist Township mayoral candidate). “So I made my family a couple of picture frames, and then I started doing these four-by-four candleholders.”
He put some photos of the projects up on his personal Facebook page and people liked what they saw. “People wanted me to make stuff them for them, so I started making different things,” Purvis explains. He says he’d never done anything like this before, but had the equipment around anyway from building a deck for his home and thought what the heck. “As a kid I always helped around with my dad and my grandparents building decks, but that’s pretty much it. I hadn’t touched a saw in probably 20 years.” Still, before long he had a little business going out of his Amherstview home’s garage, fuelled solely by word of mouth and social media posts. He decided he’d better give the business a name, and RusticDesign.ca was born, complete with its own Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. “I’ve just learned it all by myself,” Purvis says. “A lot from YouTube and plans from the internet definitely helped out a lot, but now that I have a good grasp on it I’m able to come up with my own designs and figure it out.” He’ll also replicate designs people show him pictures of. “People will say ‘can you make me something like this?’ and we’ll either put our own spin on it or we’ll make it look exactly the same if we can.” These days, Purvis is making a lot of personalized wood signs with family names and other words or phrases. His fiancée, Tanis, does all the painting. “I build, she paints. She does an amazing job. Without her, we wouldn’t have any of the wood signs.” He’s also started making larger items - furniture such as coffee tables and coat racks. “That started with my cousin, who owns her own massage business in Kemptville. She sent me a message asking if I could help her build a reception desk so I was like yeah, sure. I built an eight-foot-long/ four-foot-wide reception desk, put that on my page and people started asking if I could do coffee tables. It just snowballed from there.” Purvis remarks that it feels good to be able to provide people with quality, real wood furniture at reasonable prices – something that’s next to impossible to find these days in stores, which usually feature either low quality pressed-board or high end pieces at prices that are out of reach for most people: “I can make it affordable and last a long time,” he says, noting that

Ghostbusters reboot fall-off-your-seat funny By Mark Haskins
I took my daughter to see Ghostbusters. She really enjoyed the original films, and wanted to see the new one. She wasn’t really aware of the controversy around it. To her it was just a new Ghostbusters film, and she loved it. Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) has given up believing in ghosts to pursue a career teaching ‘real’ science. That is until Ed Mulgrave (Ed Begley Jr.) comes to Erin looking for help with a ghost problem. He has a copy of a book she co-wrote with Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) all about ghosts. Erin doesn’t need this because she’s trying to get tenure, but that doesn’t stop her from going to see Abby. Abby is hard at work with her new partner Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) on proving all those theories about ghosts she and Erin had. The three investigate Ed’s little ghost problem only to come face to face with a real ghost. Everything they thought was theoretical just became practical. The three begin investigating more occurrences. They’re joined by Patty (Leslie Jones) who’s had her own supernatural encounter while working for the New York City Subway. They hire Kevin (Chris Hemsworth) to be their receptionist. The only question is where are all these ghosts coming from? It turns out local genius and nut job Rowan North (Neil Casey) is behind it all. He plans to break the bar-
rier between worlds, and unleash the undead on New York. It’s going to take Ghostbusters to stop him. I’ll admit I wasn’t thrilled that this was a reboot. I wanted it to be a sequel. After seeing it I’m not so bothered. First off the special effects were dazzling. The ghosts and the proton beams have never looked so good. Secondly it’s fall-off-yourseat funny. Thirdly Ghostbusters has some seriously slick action sequences. The fight scene between the Ghostbusters and the hordes of undead is worth the price of admission all on its own. Lastly there’s the cast. These four women are some of the funniest people alive. Kate McKinnon plays the mad scientist full tilt from beginning to end. I never knew what she was going to do or say next, all I knew is I was going to be laughing. Leslie Jones is a force of nature. She delivers lines like lightning and each one funnier than the last. Kristen Wiig is hysterical when she’s the serious scientist, or when she’s drooling over Kevin, or when she’s busting ghosts. Lastly Melissa McCarthy nails it once again. She’s never not funny. A lot of ignorant fools came out against this film before they even saw it. After seeing it I can say these four women are awesome. Ghostbusters is awesome. Best of all is how it pays respect to the past with almost every original cast member making a cameo including a bust of the late Harold Ramis. The fools can shut up now. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Amherstview designer stumbles upon calling for carpentry Continued from page 31
the best part of the process is seeing people’s reactions. “Often they’ve been wanting a really nice piece of furniture for their home but they weren’t able to afford it. When they come and pick it up or I drop it off, seeing the look on their face, being so happy - that’s probably my favourite part.” It’s also given him a new outlet for his
creativity. “I’m creative to begin with, so to be able to be creative with something physical instead of just sitting in front of a computer, that’s what I really like about it.” The only issue is the sheer number of orders he’s been getting. “Now I can’t keep up,” he laughs. “I get new orders every day - I’ve got so much stuff lined up and on the go right
now.” That includes an offer from a wellknown local restauranteur to do the interior of a new soon-to-be announced restaurant, as well as local and chain business owners who have expressed interest in carrying RusticDesign products in their stores.
“It’s fun and scary trying to decide what I want to do,” he says. “Do I continue this as a part time fun hobby thing or do I want to really make a go of it and go full time? It’s right on the tipping point.”

Pros and cons to detox cleanse diets if doing a cleanse is the right choice for you. Pros • Eliminate poor eating habits: Cleanses may help you to take better inventory of your eating habits and encourage you to make healthy choices in the process. Detox diets require that their adherents eliminate particular foods for a period of time, and in many instances, these off-limits foods are overly processed items that may not be the best food choices in the first place. • Increase vitality and energy levels: Detox diets can sometimes increase one’s energy and stamina. This can translate into more motivation to exercise or be active. • New foods: A detox may require you to increase consumption of whole foods and participate R0013760403

in “clean eating.” Eating cleanly is about selecting the healthiest options in each of the food groups. You may be exposed to new ingredients and discover healthy options you love. • Benefit the immune system: You may find that healthy eating has positive effects on your immune system. This may make it easier to fend off illnesses or improve recovery time on those occasions when you get sick. Cons • Potential for nutrient deficiency: Restrictive eating may deprive
the body of certain nutrients it needs to remain in optimal shape. Nutrient deficiency can be dangerous, so it’s important to proceed with caution. • Weight loss concerns: If your goal is to lose weight, do not expect detox diets alone to produce permanent weight loss. Many people experience weight gain after they stop a detox, says the health resource Everyday Home Remedy. Weight loss is better achieved gradually and through consistent healthy eating and exercise than through a cleanse. • Potential to overextend detox
diets: Some people extend a detox for longer than is recommended in an effort to experience greater gains. They may feel that two or three weeks of a cleanse may be doing more good than simply one week. This is not a good idea because you can deprive your body of the balance of foods it needs to thrive. Detox diets can be short-term dietary options that bring about renewed vigor and health. Speak with a doctor and nutritionist to determine if a cleanse is best for you.

Detox diet adherents tout the benefits of cleansing their bodies. The detox craze can be confusing, and misinformation regarding the best way to proceed with a cleanse only illustrates the emphasis men and women considering detox diets must place on learning as much about them as possible. Detoxing involves changing one’s diet for a predetermined period of time for the purpose of ridding the body of unhealthy, potentially toxic substances. While there may be some immediate weight loss associated with detoxing, losing weight is not the main purpose of detoxing. Men and women have various detox options to choose from, including some that target specific areas of the body or others that aim to improve overall health. Detox diets tend to be restrictive diets, which may not make them practical for everyone — particularly those who may have health ailments or specific dietary needs. Consult with a physician prior to beginning a detox diet to ensure it will not interfere with any treatments. In addition, it can help to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of detox diets to determine

What to look for during roof inspections Cold weather can be tough on a home, and perhaps no part of a home is more vulnerable to harsh winter weather than its roof. Fallen snow can equate to several pounds of pressure placed on a residential roof. Roofs do not often collapse under heavy snowfall. But adverse winter weather conditions can compromise roofs in other ways. Water leakage and damage to the roof’s interior are just two of the potentially problematic issues that can arise when roofs are battered by cold, blustery weather. That’s why many home improvement specialists advise homeowners to conduct roof inspections prior to the start of winter. Many homeowners can conduct their own cursory roof inspections, but they may not know exactly what to look for. The National Roofing Contractors Association says that there are certain key areas to inspect that may reveal some telltale signs of roof damage. • Curled, cracked or missing shingles may prove troublesome. Inclement weather can test the strength of even the most durable roofs. Even though many roofs are designed to last up to 30 years, some may need to be replaced early, particularly when they have been exposed to harsh weather over a period of years. Individual shingles can be replaced as spot treatments, but if the damage is widespread, a new roof may be necessary. • Attic leaks or water elsewhere might signal issues with the roof. Figure out if water inside the home is coming from the roof. Water stains do not always indicate problems with
the roofing, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. • Look for protective granules wearing off. If gutters are filled with the sandy granular material that coats roofing shingles, that may be a sign of an aging or damaged roof. • Inspect flashing. Professional roofers can recognize properly installed flashing, the material that connects the roof to other parts of the house that adjoin the roof, like skylights or a chimneys. Poorly installed flashing can cause leaks. Stains that appear below chimneys or near attic windows may indicate new flashing, and not new shingles, is needed. • Gutters and downspouts should be in good condition. A roof is the sum of its parts, and that includes downspouts and gutters. If the gutters are clogged or damaged, they cannot direct water away from the house properly. Snow, leaves and other debris needs to be cleared from gutters to help them function at optimal capacity. • Animals and insects can cause damage, too. It’s not just poor weather that homeowners need to consider with regard to roof damage. Boring insects and animals may cause problems with roofs as well. A roof inspection may shed light on potential pest problems. Holes or nesting materials may indicate that an animal or animals are using the attic as a shelter from the elements. Get to the root of issues with your home’s roof before they become bigger problems once winter arrives. A thorough inspection can reveal problems that may prove costly if ignored.

Control mold when using air conditioning Exposure to mold in a home can be hazardous, leading to any number of adverse health effects, including respiratory distress. Certain strains of mold may release mycotoxins, which can cause bleeding in the lungs and pneumonia. Mold can grow in any dark and damp spot, which makes air conditioning units prime locations for mold proliferation. Mold spores can be circulated through a home via a central air conditioning system or window air conditioning unit. Mold spores in the air are very easy to inhale, especially for young children and elderly people. Air conditioners also are susceptible to mold growth. Preventing mold from becoming a problem means being in tune to indicators that mold may be present, and then taking the necessary actions to eradicate that mold and preventing future growth. Visible mold or a musty smell when operating the air conditioner are prime indicators of a problem. If you suspect mold has infiltrated your air conditioning system mold, consider these tips. • Keep equipment clean. Routinely clean dirt and debris out of air conditioning ducts and equipment. Pay special attention to organic matter, such as dirt, that may come in from
outdoors. • Eliminate water sources. Standing water presents an ideal breeding ground for mold. If there is excess water present in or around the system, have your AC unit serviced. • Change the filter. Many manufacturers recommend change an HVAC filters and window unit filters once every three months at a minimum. This can prevent mold growth and reduce allergens like dust and dirt that circulate through the air. • Clean up the mold. Homeowners may be able to clean up a minor mold problem, but larger issues are best left to a professional. Exposure to mold can put a person and the entire household at risk, especially if mold spores are disrupted. Air conditioning repair companies and mold-removal specialists are better equipped to clean and contain mold. If you clean a window unit, make sure that all components are completely dry before reassembling the parts. Damp conditions can lead to more mold. Air conditioning can be a life-saver during the summer. But men and women must make sure mold doesn’t become a problem while their AC systems are in use.
