Livestock barn used for Kingston Fall Fair ‘condemned’, temporary facility to be built By Bill Hutchins
News – The show will go on, but with some makeshift improvements. The city has started emergency structural work on sections of the crumbling Memorial Centre to ensure they’re safe for the public in time for the annual Kingston Fall Fair. Structural engineers recently determined that two key areas of the midtown recreational complex required immediate action to address safety concerns; the concrete outdoor grandstand on the arena’s north side, and one of the main barns that houses livestock. Work on repairing the grandstand with structural reinforcements began in early August, and the site remains fenced off to keep the public away. “Focusing on the grandstands, staff worked quickly to create a scope of work to structurally reinforce the asset which was approved by the structural engineer on July 26, 2016. The work will require approximately three weeks to complete and is intended to be accomplished prior to the Fall Fair,” according to a report by community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle. The grandstand is a focal point Victoria McCourt, 7, flies high over the heads of people taking in the annual for visitors to watch the demolition Princess Street Promenade. The activity was one of several set up by the Loyal- derby, one of the fair’s most popular ist Gymnastics Club, one of dozens of displays set up for the annual event.

sessment determined that the large southern portion of Bracken-Tait barn (known as section #1) is “unsafe as is” and beyond repair. The structure will be demolished. Gail Shook, co-president of the Kingston & District Agricultural Society, says the barn was close to collapsing. “Structural engineers have condemned it.” Shook says she recently toured the barn with city officials to get a first-hand look at the deteriorating condition. “It probably should not have been used last year. It was unbelievable. The wood support beams were rotten at the bottom. Any cattle that hit those supports hard and the whole building would’ve come down.” City staff say they met with the Agricultural Society Board and various exhibitors from the Fall Fair to discuss options. “It was agreed to demolish the structure and that maintaining the concrete floor would provide an opportunity for a temporary solution,” said Hurdle. The city will rent heavy duty fencing to anchor to the concrete floor and recreate the stalls necessary to house the animals under a temporary tent shelter. Temporary lighting, water and power will have to be drawn from the neighboring barns. “The conclusion was that the City could create a temporary so-
lution in time for the Fall Fair that would not impact operations,” Hurdle added. Removing a section of the barn and stalls that house cattle, goats and pigs poses other problems. “Pigs and cows do not get along at all. We have to make sure there’s heavy duty tenting to keep the animals apart,” Shook explained. The cost of the grandstand repairs, plus emergency demolition and makeshift repairs to the barn, is estimated at $80,000 – tax money that will be drawn from the current recreation and leisure services capital budgets. Shook says the city plans to rebuild the demolished barn in time for the 2017 fair, but there just isn’t time to do it this year. “It’s going to be re-built. That’s what they are telling us.” She says the city hasn’t invested much money in the buildings and structures that are used by the fair unless it’s absolutely necessary. “The barns have not been looked after in years.” However, she praised city officials for working with the agricultural board to ensure next month’s fair goes off smoothly. “They’ve been absolutely wonderful to help us get prepared for the fair – beyond wonderful.” The 186th annual Kingston Fall Fair runs from September 15 to 18.

Kingston hospitals get big boost from provincial budget hpratt-campbell@metroland.com
This year, Ontario’s government announced a $51.8 billion investment in health care for 2016-17 – and over $13 million of that will be coming to the Kingston area. The province’s minister of health and long-term care, Dr. Eric Hoskins, was in Kingston Aug. 2 to make the announcement alongside MPP Sophie Kiwala. “As our communities grow and change, the needs of patients and all those who rely upon our healthcare system are also changing,” said Hoskins, standing in front of the construction site where the new Providence Care building is currently being built. “When it comes to the complicated matter of transforming healthcare, we need to set rather simple but specific and clear goals. For our government the foundation of this has been very clear – it’s to give Ontarians faster access to the right care now and into the future.” Providence Care alone will receive an increase of $3.9 million in operating funding; Kingston General Hospital will receive an increase of $6.7 million
in operating funding; and Hotel Dieu an increase of $550,000. “If you look at Kingston hospitals overall, this represents an over three per cent increase in operating funding this year, and it’s of such critical importance,” Hoskins said. “In the past four years, [hospital staff] have been asked, sometimes in seemingly insurmountable ways, to find new ways of delivering healthcare - find efficiencies, find a way of coordinating care better. They say and I will admit that this funding is long overdue. It’s an important step to on an ongoing basis increasing the level of funding we provide through our hospitals.” Hoskins also announced $2.5 million to support early planning for potential future capital investments at KGH. “This grant will facilitate capacity planning to help ensure that future infrastructure investments support the needs of patients here in Kingston. As we look to the future of healthcare, we must ensure that our system is sustainable for generations to come.” Another $58,000 will go toward the continuation of a local paramedicine pilot program, which aims to help se-

Province wants vacant space near Providence Care Hospital for future housing By Bill Hutchins
News – The sprawling provinciallyowned land on King Street West near Portsmouth Avenue is poised to get much more than a new hospital. Provincial officials have drafted a subdivision plan for 752 King Street West, known as the Kingston Provincial Campus, to allow for the future
construction of hundreds of housing units and commercial activity along the northern and eastern boundaries of the property. “The lands abutting King Street along the western frontage of the site are proposed to permit mixed use commercial/residential development with a block of land behind that for medium density housing,” according to city
planning director Paige Agnew. In addition, the northeast corner of the site is proposed for low, medium and high density residential development. A public meeting was held Aug. 4 on the application for draft subdivision that would be enshrined in the Official Plan. “The effect of these applications will be to create a new Secondary Plan area for future development on the lands,” Agnew explained.

side views and landscaping removal as their chief concerns. They want the proposed building moved away from the water and located closer to King Street. Infrastructure Ontario owns and manages the site, which includes Providence Care Hospital that’s currently under construction, plus existing buildings such as Beechgrove recreation complex, Rockwood Villa, Penrose Asylum and other vacant or occupied 19th century historic buildings, along with open space and natural heritage areas. Consultants representing the province say institutional uses and heritage buildings, mainly located in the central and southwestern portion of the 49-hectare (122 acre) property, will be preserved. “All structures, buildings or lands in the Heritage Landscape designation that are of cultural heritage value or interest are intended to be conserved in accordance with Provincial policies,” the consultant wrote. But the government has a different vision for some vacant portions along the edges of the scenic property. The proposal is to build housing on the spacious front lawn facing King Street West plus some housing down the east-
ern perimeter that borders homes of Portsmouth Village. Some of the 549 housing units would range from two to eight storeys high, plus three new residential streets would be developed in the proposed subdivision. Provincial officials insist that at least 25 per cent of future units will be earmarked for affordable housing. The development plan has been about four years in the making. A timeline for development of the housing blocks will depend on market demand, water/sewer servicing capacity and further approvals from council. Infrastructure Ontario says the addition of future housing will help the city’s goal of urban intensification without impeding access to the waterfront or eroding the property’s heritage charm. “Overall, the plan ensures the preservation of history and natural areas without compromising the site’s potential to add employment and housing as well as institutional space to the city.” Adding a residential/commercial component to the Provincial Campus will also remove part of it from taxexempt status, allowing the city to collect property taxes from future development.

The Shakers were a quaint, old-fashioned people that just happened to build beautiful furniture, right? Not at all. MacLachlan curator, Tom Riddolls, explains how the exhibit, Shakers – Decoding an Identity helps break down stereotypes of this furniture- building community. “Time has conspired to paint [the Shakers] simply. But the image of somber people in old photographs does not capture how innovative and joyful they were.” However, Riddolls feels there are a lot of unanswered questions. “The basic problem of how the Shakers can say material beauty is a sin but also produce goods universally-accepted as beautiful is one we will have to continue to think about.”

City considers community trade-offs to allow Capitol condo height News – The city may be willing to consider trade-offs with a developer to allow a high rise condominium project in downtown Kingston. IN8 Developments is proposing a 17-storey condo atop the former Capitol movie theatre at 223 Princess Street. The high rise would be set closer to the Queen Street side of the property.
City officials are using their authority under the provincial Planning Act to seek community benefits in return for allowing a much taller building than what current zoning rules permit. “I think what’s important there is having the option. So if a developer wants to build a taller building then as a city we have the right to be able ask for some of these other amenities,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. The city first sought public input
An artist’s rendering of what the entrance to the new condo could look like
on whether the project should include a series of community benefits such as public parking, additional bicycle parking, electric charging station for battery-powered vehicles, affordable housing, preserving the theatre s original façade and an art studio. “So we can negotiate and put that into the package but it doesn’t preclude council from saying ‘no it’s not enough, we still won’t support it,’” the mayor added. However, the local group Vision for Kingston is skeptical of the potential trade-offs being discussed. “The city is assuming that it’s possible to set a price for developers to pay in exchange for significantly ignoring the city’s Official Plan and zoning by-laws,” explained group spokesperson Kip Pegley in a news release. The so-called Capitol condo is about 10 storeys higher than what the site is presently zoned for. Pegley says the city is wrong to try and negotiate benefits on a project of this scale. “It’s trying to engage citizens in a discussion about the terms of this development proposal instead of recognizing that the proposal is not in the city’s best interests, no matter what is offered in return.” IN8 recently downsized the project in the face of public opposition. The height has been scaled back from 20 floors to 17, while the number of units
is reduced from 223 to 213. IN8 has also softened some of the building features to “break down the massing” and help it blend in with surrounding low-rise businesses and neighbourhoods. The 17 floors include a threelevel, above-ground podium for 146 parking spaces. The revised application is still be reviewed by planning staff before a formal recommendation is made to politicians on how they should proceed. The review includes seeking public feedback on community benefits. Critics say the city appears to be “tricking” residents into trading away cultural and heritage aspects. “We hope people respond to the request for feedback and let the city know that Kingston’s cultural and heritage assets must not be put on the auction block in this way. Our Official Plan is not for sale,” said Pegley. It’s unclear how much the community benefits would cost the developer or taxpayers. Restoring the original theatre façade could cost the developer hundreds of thousands of dollars, while the city may have to spend money to subsidize five per cent of the condo units as affordable housing or to create public parking spaces within the private building. Mayor Paterson says it’s worth pursuing trade-offs that will benefit
the public. “These are all good things – public parking, affordable housing, arts studio.” The deadline to make public submissions on community benefits in the Capitol condo was Aug. 9. The mayor expects a report to the planning committee and council sometime this fall on whether the potential benefits would outweigh concerns over the height.

They were a bit hot, but well worth it.” Members of the team dressed up as Iron Man, Spiderman, Superman, Thor, Batman and G.I.

There were lots of photos and everyone was surprised.” The cleaners themselves also really enjoyed the experience and they were surprised by some of the reacPatients at KGH were visited by superhero window washers on Aug. 2.

Editor’s note: Thank you to Matthew Manor and KGH for allowing us to use your fantastic photos here and online. Congrats on the well-deserved international attention they have received from the BBC and other media. News – Patients at Kingston General Hospital were a bit surprised when they looked out their windows on Aug. 2, but in a good way. The hospital, in partnership with Elite Window Cleaning, arranged for some special guests to clean the windows and give patients, both young and old, something to smile about. “We heard about this idea of having superheroes clean the windows at a conference last fall and we knew we had to do it at KGH,” explained Marcia McFarlane, maternal child supervisor at KGH and one of the members responsible for organizing the day. “It was something so simple, but we knew it would make the kids so happy.” The superhero window washers, members of the Elite Window Clean-

A Third Crossing without a real public engagement
Kingstonians have not been provided with enough accurate information to take a balanced view of the Third Crossing. How is it possible to figure out whether or not they need this unsustainable and expensive project simply based on the biased survey posted on the City’s web site? It asks, for example, if the public wants to use stainless steel in the concrete used in the bridge! Apart from specialised engineers, who among us is qualified to answer such questions? It’s like a first time house buyer being asked if they want 2 bedrooms or 3, before they have decided if they can really afford a house? First things first. Can we honestly afford the dollar and environmental cost of a crossing? The Third Crossing Environmental Assessment Report minimizes the negative impact the bridge will have on climate change. It has ignored the “induced demand” phenomenon and “Newton’s laws of Gravitational attraction”. These proven phenomena undeniably demonstrate that building the Third Crossing will increase car trips, increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and won’t contribute to any meaningful decrease in medium and long term traffic congestion or idling time. City Council has asked Staff to prepare “A social-economic cost-benefit analysis” to further assist the City and twoother levels of government in deciding their faith on this investment.
This analysis would include economic, social and environmental impacts of the project. How can Kingstonians submit appropriate answers to any survey about the Third Crossing without this information? City Council has approved the preparation of a “carbon price” motion.
This is aimed at evaluating the cost of offsetting GHG emissions generated during the construction and operational phases of the City’s projects. This analysis is critical in the assessment Councillors make when deciding which projects should go forward when measured against GHG reduc-
tion targets. Kingston has many important priorities. Affordable housing, resuscitating crumbling roadways, and making transit more efficient to reduce traffic congestion are just a few. If the City is looking for a real public engagement, why not organize public meetings, pan-
els of experts, or TV debates for this mega project that will impact the life of Kingstonians for generations to come, before rushing to get it shovel ready? Mahmood Rowghani Graduate architect and urban planner

In Our Opinion
Five things I’ve learned in 10 years of marriage
Even if I fail at everything else in life, there is one thing I truly believe I’ll always be able to say I got right. On Aug. 5, Steve and I will mark 10 years of marriage. For me, this is a milestone to celebrate, as our relationship and the family that has come of it is by far the best thing I have done and will ever do with my life. So in honour of that, here’s some unsolicited advice in the form of (what else?) a list. Five things I’ve learned in 10 years of marriage: 1) It’s not about magic (Sorry, Sleepless in Seattle – you’re still one of my favourite movies ever.) I didn’t fall in love with Steve at first sight. In fact, it took a while for me to warm up to the idea of him. But the more I got to know him, the more I loved him. The more time I spent around him, the more I couldn’t possibly imagine my life without him. When we first moved in together at the age of 20, it didn’t feel like a big step – more like a formality. We were together all the time anyway, so it only made sense. Marriage a couple of years later had much the same feel. It wasn’t a decision we thought very hard about. The obvious choice – the only choice, re-
ally - was to be together. Over a decade later, that feeling continues to grow every day. 2) Try to just roll with your partner’s little flaws Steve has many really annoying habits. For example, his way of picking his shoes up from the kitchen floor (where the dog brings them) is to set them on the counter, WHERE FOOD IS PREPARED. He has done this our entire relationship and it annoys me to no end. He also loses things every single day – usually his keys, wallet or phone. Often an entire evening is wasted while he tears the house apart searching for the lost item of the day. But after about ten minutes I find I can’t be mad about it anymore because it’s just so stupid and funny – endearing, even. I think finding the ability to laugh about these little things is important to enjoying marriage on a daily basis. 3) Choose your battles This is Steve’s contribution to the list, and it’s kind of an extension of the above. Of course, I asked him what I could possibly be doing wrong that would cause him to give this advice. He told me it’s “mostly financial in nature”, referring to my habit of spending money at places like Starbucks, Chapters and the hair salon. I countered by pointing out all the money he spends at Stone City Ales and replacing his phone every six months because he either breaks or loses the one he has. I think the key here is finding con-

crete solutions to these issues. Instead of having a fight every time I buy a book, we now have a budget that allocates a certain amount of money for items like this. That way, assuming I stay within the budget, I don’t have to feel guilty about it and Steve can’t say a word. 4) Never stop having fun together There are many things Steve and I enjoy doing together – from spontaneous road trips to obsessing over the latest big political story to binge watching the entire series of Mad Men for the fourth time. With young children, it can be hard to find time to simply be together and enjoy one another’s company, but when we both make an effort we can usually find some time each day to at least share a laugh. 5) Choose your partner well The number one piece of advice I will give my girls, when they are old enough to understand, will be that picking a partner is the most important choice they will ever make. After all, this person has the ability make your life blissful or hellish. I realize I got extremely lucky to land a man who is sweet and kind and has treated me with love and respect every single day we’ve been together. I’m honestly not sure how I managed to choose such a good guy when I was basically still a kid and, admittedly, didn’t fully comprehend what a huge decision it is to marry someone. But I did, and that’s really all that matters now. So…salute!

Redemption for non-flossers? Editorial - For years, dental organizations, manufacturers, dental hygienists and even the government have emphasized the practice of flossing teeth, but last week, evidence to the contrary surfaced. Since 2010, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans has included a message about flossing stating: “A combined approach of reducing the amount of time sugars and starches are in the mouth, drinking fluoridated water, and brushing and flossing teeth, is the most effective way to reduce dental caries.” However, the 2015 version of this guideline no longer includes this message. This omission prompted The Associated Press to use a Freedom of Information Act request to ask for the evidence. As a result, in a letter to AP, the U.S. government acknowledged the effectiveness of flossing had never been researched. The news agency took a deeper look and after focusing on 25 studies that compared the use of a toothbrush with the combination of toothbrushes and floss, the findings showed that the evidence for flossing is ‘weak, very unreliable,’ of ‘very low’ quality, and carries ‘a moderate to large potential for bias’. A review published by the Journal of Clinical Periodontology also concluded that ‘the majority of available studies fail to demonstrate that flossing is generally effective in plaque removal’. But doesn’t this go against everything we have been taught since we were kids? Doesn’t this mean that all of those lectures and dirty looks from dentists and hygienists over the years have been for nothing? Even with these studies, both the American and Canadian Dental Associations still claim that flossing is important. They stand by the belief that flossing is still the most effective way to get between teeth and prevent build-up and the most effective way to prevent oral health diseases. So should you floss? The evidence seems to be a bit muddled either way. Flossing is a pain, but this debate can at least give some non-flossers (or those of us who just floss the week before going to the dentist) piece of mind. And if you already floss regularly (really?) then there appears to be no harm in continuing.

Prison farm rally aims to generate interest, show appreciation By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
Events – Members of Save Our Prison Farms (SOPF) and the Pen Farm Herd Co-op are coming together again for a rally in downtown Kingston, but this time it is much more hopeful and positive compared to rallies of the past. On Aug. 16, the groups will host a rally outside of City Hall in support of reopening the prison farms in Kingston. The rally will precede a town hall meeting on the subject and aims to show appreciation for the meeting itself. “We want to generate some interest in the town hall and show our appreciation for this opportunity to give our input,” explained Dianne Dowling, a long-time member of the SOPF group. The town hall meeting is just one part of the process that has been initiated by the Liberal government in reassessing the prison farms. Earlier in July it was announced that the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) will perform a feasibility study on the subject. CSC also launched an online survey seeking public feedback about the prison farms. “It might be too early to talk about
celebrating, but we want to show a positive appreciation for having this opportunity to give our feedback,” said Dowling. “We think and we’ve always thought that the prison farm program should be restored.” The public meeting will also include Minister of Public Safety, Ralph Goodale, who is expected to make a few comments and then listen to public comments throughout the two-hour meeting. “We would like to have as many of our supporters at both the rally and the meeting as possible,” said Dowling. “We want to make sure that our opinions are heard and we are also encouraging people to prepare written statements in case we run out of time.” For her part, Dowling hopes to communicate and emphasize the value that the prison farms provide to both the inmates and the community. “We feel that it offers employment skills training for inmates so that when they are released they have a broader range of work skills than when they went into prison,” she said. “We feel that the skills they learn are transferable to more than just farming and the value of the farms is augmented by the
rehabilitation effect of working with animals, too.” Dowling also sees the town hall meeting as an opportunity for community members to present their ideas on how the prison farms can progress into the future. “I think proposals for interesting ideas of how to add to the farms are also important,” said Dowling. “Some people have said that there could be integration with green energy ideas. There is a lot of creativity out there and I think those should be shown to Corrections and the minister.” Dowling is happy to see the issue progressing to this point, but she realizes there is still a lot of work to be done. She encourages community members to come out and show their support for the prison farms. “When we were doing the campaign and trying to save the prison farms we heard from lots of supporters and even people in the streets that closing the farms just didn’t make any sense and people had a wide range of reasons for thinking that,” she said. “We would like people to come out and express those reasons to the minister and Corrections.”
The Prison Farm Rally takes place on Aug. 16 from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. in front of City Hall. The event will also feature a number of speakers and per-
formers including long-time supporter Sarah Harmer. The rally will be followed by the public town hall from 6 to 8 p.m.

Wolfe Island Family Ball Tournament bigger than Christmas holiday By Margaret Knott
You had to see it to believe it, but every available space at the WI Community Centre grounds was
filled pretty much throughout the 31st Family Ball tournament. It is held annually on the August long weekend. This year 30 (extended) family teams began play in the A
& B Divisions on Friday evening, at the 3 diamonds located at the centre. The third diamond, recently completed for use, brought the tournament to one location for the first time. When you think about 30 teams, that’s 9 -15 persons per team equally distributed between women and men, plus alternates, referees and anyone else directly supporting the teams, with water for instance, certainly needed this season con-
sidering the high, dry temperatures. And then there was everyone else, relatives of every family team playing, parents, grandparents aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, and cousins, grands and great grands as well as friends, neighbours , interested citizens, and visitors to the island. Surely the water rose as the island sank under the extra weight as they came from all over Canada, the U.S.A. and places beyond. WI is one of the few remaining communities where such a tournament is held. The event concluded Saturday evening with the awards presentation led by Community Centre Board member Kevin Hulton. This year’s “A” Division winner was the Orr family team & “B” Division winners, the Hawkins Family
Team. The ‘Joe Reitzel Memorial Trophy’ for Oldest Average Team was presented to the Rita Hulton Team. The ‘Debbie Knox Memorial Trophy’ for “the team with most dedication and persistence” was awarded to the McCready Family. The ‘Bill Kyle Memorial’ trophy awarded to the Fawcetts; ‘ Lollar Volunteer Award’ to Elwin McKenna. Special thanks given to Ed Etmanski, Dan and Danielle Hogan, and Ben Woodman for their efforts before, and during the tournament at the Centre. With the covered NHL sized rink and ice plant, 3 ball diamonds with lights, and an area for horse events, and many , many volunteers, the WI Community Centre has become a 1st class community asset.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much-touted third bridge crossing is moving closer to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shovel readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stage next spring. But the city is still asking the question: Does it really need to be built at all? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the largest infrastructure project that we have ever considered as a city. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in any way trying to shut that debate down,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Bryan Paterson. The public has a chance to weigh in on the pros and cons of building the two-lane, 1.2 kilometre crossing at a cost of least $120 million. The city is gathering input as part of its ongoing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shovel readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strategy. The bridge, connecting John Counter Blvd. and Gore Road, would be located about midway between the two existing Cataraqui River crossings, LaSalle Causeway and Highway 401. Mayor Paterson says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question in his mind that the crossing is badly needed, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preclude gathering more feedback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally I think that we have moved past that question, but we really need to look at the costs and beneďŹ ts.â&#x20AC;?

Public asked whether Kingston’s 3rd bridge crossing should be built Continued from page 14
Some bridge critics have called the project a ‘span to sprawl’ that should be stopped in its tracks. They list several reasons why the third crossing doesn’t make sense. Among them: the money could be better spent on other municipal projects, recent 401 widening work has already eased commuter congestion through the city, Kingston’s population growth is expected to stagnate in about 20 years, and the city should be doing more to promote active transportation and sustainability rather than catering to the needs of motorists. Residents are also invited to weigh in on the preferred model to build and finance the bridge. The city is currently looking at a
variety of options for construction. These range from building and financing the bridge through the traditional city-awarded contract, to hiring a firm to build and manage the bridge through a public-private partnership (P3) model. The city has hired Infrastructure Ontario to help explore the different scenarios. The mayor says the city has to show due diligence by exploring different build-finance models. “If we want to get the bridge built we should be open to those (P3) options to figure out the best way to get the funding in place.” He added: “I’m not in favour of something that would lead to a toll on

the crossing. City engineers also intend to present a cost-benefit analysis to council outlining the benefits of a third crossing such as reduced travel time for commuters, lower gas emissions, faster transit connections, and serving as a new Highway 401 emergency detour route to avoid clogging the downtown core. The mayor added: “Let’s have an informed debate. Let’s make sure everyone understands what those issues are. At the end of the day it will be a council decision sometime next year about what the next steps should be.”

will be wide enough for a multi-use pathway that will be separated from traffic lanes to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists on the south side of the bridge. There will also be mid-bridge observation areas for pedestrians. The final cost of the bridge is still being nailed down. The original estimate was $120 million, based on 2011 dollars. Officials concede that figure is sure to rise once inflation is factored in to the revised estimates. The city has said it would need two-thirds funding from senior levels of government to help pay for

the bridge.” Councillors have already authorized spending about $3 million to complete a host of bridge design and technical studies, land acquisition, plus consultation with Parks Canada and other stakeholders of the federal waterway to lay the groundwork for actual construction. But they can still pull the plug on the entire project once the studies are finished next spring. J.L.

News – It was a good news day for the employees at Kingston’s Tri-Art Manufacturing Inc.; on Aug. 4, MPP for Kingston and the Islands, Sophie Kiwala, visited the local company and announced $140,000 in support courtesy of the Eastern Ontario Development Fund. “It is such a thrill to help celebrate this milestone that will help create jobs for Kingston,” said Kiwala. “Here in Eastern Ontario, our economy is a lot more diversified than people realize. We have
a whole roster of ambitious and innovative companies who are leaders in their field and Tri-Art is definitely one of those companies.” Tri-Art Manufacturing makes premium quality water and acrylic artist paints, but they also specialize in audiovisual products. The company recently expanded into the audiovisual entertainment market by developing high-end audio equipment, including turntables, speakers and projection screens; this funding will help them expand even further.

“Tri-Art has a well-earned place as one of the leading makers of premium artist paints in Canada,” said Kiwala during her announcement. “I am also impressed that instead of just settling in to an already established market, you expanded into an audiovisual market, adding Disney and Universal theme parks as some of your global clients for projection screens.” Expanding into the audio

industry may seem like a bit of a stretch for a paint supplier, but TriArt president Stephen Ginsberg already had a background in the area. When he started with Tri-Art, he saw a lot of crossover potential. “I saw the talent here and I wanted to use that talent to expand to audio equipment too,” explained Ginsberg. “We actually use sound to help seal and crimp our tubes of paint and we use ultrasonic sound to do that and we just expanded more and more from there.” Now, Tri-Art manufactures paint and audio equipment to Europe, Asia and even China. “We are partnering a bit more with that company in China soon too,” said Ginsberg. “And that will lead to even further expansion
here.” The funds to support Tri-Art were made possible by the Eastern Ontario Development Fund, a fund that aims to help create jobs and diversify the economy by encouraging regional businesses to pursue innovation and new markets. For Kiwala, Tri-Art was an easy fit for all of this criteria and she is looking forward to seeing how they use the funds. “I’ve been hearing about the work that Tri-Art has been doing in the industry for a long time and I have been talking about it at Queen’s Park,” she said. “I really look forward to watching the continued growth of this company as these funds help take it to the next level.”

Local entrepreneur expands from limestone novelties to tartan maps ton. She is a trained visual artist and also studied graphic design, but her mother always wanted here to do something for the souvenir industry. “My sister lives in Australia and my mother would go down there and visit and bring back these amazing souvenirs, but when it came to the other way around she didn’t have much choice of what to bring there from Canada,” she explained. “Sadly, she passed away a little over a year ago, but when I found Peter and this work, I knew I was meant to do this.” With Clark’s help, the ‘Limestone City’ fridge magnets were redesigned to incorporate more detail and so were the paperweights, but the creativity didn’t stop there.
“Shortly after Stefanie and I started working together, my sister brought me back a souvenir from Scotland; it was a tartan map and she explained News – Last summer, local entrethat they were everywhere over preneur Peter Gilmore launched Stone there,” said Gilmore. “We thought it City Gifts and Novelties when he was really neat and wondered if the came up with a way to market Kingsidea could be applied here.” ton’s signature stone – limestone – as Gilmore and Clark did some repaperweights.

unique items, Gilmore and Clark set up an Etsy page; they are also selling to Amazon.ca and already working on selling to Amazon.com with a special American line. “The possibilities are endless really,” said Gilmore. “The Unites States has their own tartan and so do many groups within the states. Here in Canada the OPP have their own tartan and groups like Queen’s or even sports teams do too.” The hope is that with these maps, individuals can customize what they want and the maps can be used to form connections between individuals. “It can bind people together in a way,” said Clark. “The maps can be a connection to home for people too.
There are so many applications.” While the maps are the focus for Gilmore at the moment, he still plans on making the limestone pieces and he hopes to expand into even more souvenir items in the future too. “We are really focusing on making quality souvenirs that represent Canada,” he said. “We both have a passion for creating these items. I think people can see that in our products and hopefully that makes them want to buy them too.” For more information about Stone City Originals and their products visit https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ StoneCityOriginals?ref=hdr_shop_ menu or check out their products at Red Maple in downtown Kingston.

Ontario and Kingston come up short in terms of health spending: unions worse,” said Mike Rodrigues, president of CUPE 1974 (Kingston General Hospital). “We have done some research and now we are ready to present our findings to both the public and the government.” The findings, which were acquired using data available from the Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHC),
were released on Aug. 2 at the Seniors Centre in Kingston. CUPE and the OCHU looked at data relating to hospital beds, levels of care, admissions and News - According to a new study readmissions and of course overall done by the Ontario Council of Hospital funding and they focused on comparing Unions (OCHU) and CUPE, hospital Ontario to the rest of Canada. funding in Ontario is much lower than “We wanted to release this report hospital funding in the rest of Canada to draw attention to the fact that “It is a big problem and it is getting provincially, by our calculations, Ontario is about $4.8 billion short WE BILL ONLY FOR HOURS WORKED, NO FLAT RATE TECHNICIANS OR COMISSIONED STAFF! compared to all the other provinces in terms of how we fund our hospitals,” said Michael Hurley, president of the OCHU. “We are calling on the government AUTO SERVICES LTD LTD to make a real investment and at REGULAR least fund these P EL H N E CA

hospitals at their real costs.” According to CIHI, Ontario government per capita funding for hospitals is $1,395.73. The rest of Canada, excluding Ontario, spends $1,749.69 per capita on hospitals. In other words, provincial and territorial governments outside of Ontario spend $353.96 more per person on hospitals than Ontario does, or roughly 25 per cent more. According to the findings, these numbers have increased steadily over the years and in 2005-2006 the gap between Canada and Ontario was at just 4.3 per cent. “With working in the hospital you see reductions and they may seem small at first, but year-to-year you really see their growing impact,” said Rodrigues. “Our front line workers hear the frustrations. They also hear about being sent home too early and see the readmissions.” According to the report, Ontario has the fewest number of hospital beds in
any province and the length of hospital stays continue to be reduced for this reason. This decrease leads to an increase in readmissions. “We have a drop in admissions and an increase in readmissions,” explained Hurley. “In terms of readmissions, Ontario is higher than the rest of Canada and Kingston is actually higher than the rest of Ontario. From our point of view, readmissions represent failures of the system to actually repair people properly.” The report also looked at funding for homecare and long-term care, an area the government has claimed they are expanding to meet growing needs. “We have been told that investments are being made in those areas,” said Hurley. “But long-term care is 7.2 per cent behind the rest of the country and for homecare and community care we spend 14.3 per cent less. We have the fewest number of hospital beds, so you think we would have the most vibrant homecare system, but in fact we underspend.” Overall, Hurley emphasized that while hospitals require about a three per cent increase year to year to keep up with inflationary needs, hospitals in Ontario and in Kingston are only receiving about one per cent. “The increase should actually be around five per cent when you take into account additional pressures like population growth and aging and we are nowhere near that,” he said. “Because of that we see nursing and staff cuts as a result and that is not acceptable.” In terms of staffing, the reports conclude that in Kingston, across all hospitals, approximately 137 registered Michael Hurley, president of the OCHU (left) and nurses and about 407 other staff would Mike Rodrigues, president of CUPE 1974 (Kingston need to be added to equal comparable General Hospital). Photo/Mandy Marciniak staffing in other provinces like Manitoba or New Brunswick. “That is a lot of people,” said Hurley. “This lack of staffing means there is less care in the hospital for mothers who have just given birth, or people recovering from surgery and than again leads to readmissions and complications.” So what can be done about these issues? “People can talk to their Member of Provincial If is where the is… Parliament about THEN LET US HELP KEEP YOU THERE! these issues.

Kingston student recognized for project on history and heritage of local cemeteries Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
“I was surprised to be recognized,” she said. “My classmates thought the project was really cool too and I thought it was all really interesting so it was nice to receive recognition.” Burns hopes that her project shows how much can be learned from local cemeteries. “You can learn a lot about your community and the people in it through the cemeteries,” she said. “They show how our community has grown and they tell the story of events and epidemics that af-
fected us. They also show how our values and styles have changed over the years.” She also sees cemeteries as a great research tool in communities and one that can help preserve the history and heritage of a community. “They are about more than just gravesites and that is what I learned
News – Cemeteries may not seem like the most interesting subject for a teenager, but for Olivia Burns, 14, they are a source of much intrigue. “I was really interested in their history and the heritage behind them,” she explained. “My personality is kind of dark and I was really interested to learn more.” Thus, Burns took on the topic of cemeteries for her Grade 8 Heritage Fair project this past spring. She researched the history of cemeteries in Kingston and even spoke with the director of operations at the Cataraqui Cemetery. “I learned a lot,” she said. “The most interesting part was learning that before we had big cemeteries, like the Cataraqui Cemetery, people would be buried under church floors or they would be put into mass graves.” Olivia Burns at the Cataraqui Cemetery.

Napanee “It was neat to 613.354.9171 look at the really old monuments and a shopping experience for you and your pet see them in relation to the newer ones and then there are military monuments too,” she said. “There is a huge variety.” Burns presented her project at this NO CORN • NO WHEAT • NO SOY year’s Heritage Fair, but she also made a video about it to submit to Young Citizens, a program that focuses on citizenship and asks students to present the results of their research on Canadian heroes, legends and key events in Canadian history. The program asks students to shoot a video in the style of a news report or documentary and select student videos are then posted online and reviewed by the public and a panel of judges; Burns was lucky enough to have her video showcased this year.

Driftwood Theatre brings Shakespeare and the 80s to Market Square By Mandy Marciniak
mandymarciniak@metroland.com
Events – For more than 20 years, the Driftwood Theatre Group has been bringing their ‘Bard’s Bus Tour’ to cities across Ontario and this year, on Aug. 3 they made a stop in Market Square. Coincidentally, the idea for the unique theatre company started right here in Kingston. “Oddly enough I was studying at Queen’s when the idea came to me,” explained Jeremy Smith, artistic director of Driftwood Theatre Group. “I had seen the work of a few other Shakespeare companies at the time and I decided to start a theatre company of my own. The idea came to me when I was in a Theatre History class.”
Now, 22 years later, that idea is still going strong and Driftwood has made a name for itself in the theatre communities across the province. This year, they even attracted the attention of Kingston’s own Kick and Push Festival. “We were happy to work with them,” said Smith. “Normally when we visit Kingston we perform at City Park, but with the Kick and Push Festival their interest is in creating theatre space out of non-normative theatre spaces and for us the idea of moving to the square is very exciting.” Smith is also really excited about this year’s production; Driftwood has taken on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, a play that Smith views as one of the Bard’s more controversial works, especially by today’s standards. “I think this production is really in-

credible because it takes what at best could be considered an incredibly misogynistic, patriarchal play and transforms it,” said Smith. “By shifting its perspective, it transforms into a play about a consensual and loving relationship between two equals.” According to Smith, this interpretation of the play, which is originally about literally taming a woman, works to present a fair and positive way of looking at issues of consent, equality and acceptance. “I think this interpretation is really important, especially in the context of what is happening in the world today,” he said. “When you consider lawsuits
that have been taken against local Canadian celebrities and the events in Orlando and so many different issues around equality and consent that seem to be present in the news right now, presenting something like this is so important.” While these issues are quite serious, the play also works to look at them in a more casual and fun way. To do that, Smith decided to set the production in 1989. “It is a decade rife with lots of fabulous and wonderful music and a lot of
great social change too,” he said. “Our interpretation finds a way to celebrate all of those changes while still staying true to Shakespeare’s original work.” Smith hopes that these ideas and the setting will attract a large audience to the shows and he hopes that people will have fun watching. “I think the show is wonderful and it is colourful and lively and musical,” he said. “I think it is a unique interpretation and it is important and relevant while also being highly entertaining.”

The dog whisperer Wade MacVicar operates Wade’s Dogmanship. He calls himself a dog trainer, but dog whisperer is just as appropriate. He works wonders with problem dogs. Bringing home a puppy is the first step in a long process of turning a bundle of cuteness into a socially appropriate creature. Many overlook how much work that new bundle of joy will involve. If you’ve made the active decision to bring a dog into your home, the first step for puppies is socialization and basic skills like crate training. If you’re in a stage beyond puppyhood, and your dog is a jerk, but you love the critter anyway, where can you turn for help? Sadly, there are a lot of questionable programs out there. That’s where Wade MacVicar comes into the picture. He’s a dog trainer extraordinaire. Like a magician who understands how “magic” works, MacVicar understands dogs. He also understands humans. And somewhere in that mix of dog/human lies the typical dog behavior problems. MacVicar’s website has a motto: “Dogs who listen, humans who understand.” That’s the perfect summary of his work.
In a short period of time, MacVicar assesses where a dog’s training needs to be tweaked or completely overhauled. He doesn’t take a cookie cutter approach. Too many trainers think one approach works with all dogs. That would be like relating to humans as if every one of them was an extrovert or an introvert. One model does not fit all. MacVicar claims that there’s nothing magical about his approach. I might disagree at times, especially if you define magic as simply doing something the audience thinks is impossible, when all you’re doing is following scientific principles. MacVicar describes dogs with respect. He says that’s exactly what dogs need. But how does one show respect for dog and how does a dog know it’s being respected? Simple, says MacVicar. You simply watch for the signs of their personality and respond accordingly. “For some dogs that are domineering, they need you to be the one who tells them, maybe for the first time, that you have to be boss. But for really nervous dogs, it’s more important to ignore them so they don’t feel overwhelmed. I will move away when they come close to me, so they have some control. I end up being that dog’s friend faster than if I tried to be all friendly at first.” Continued on page 34

Update on the ferry study: What happens next? By: Margaret Knott
News- Members of MTO’s Wolfe Island Ferry and Docking Improvements EA Project team met with Frontenac Islands Council at a public meeting, to discuss feedback about the project that Council has received from the public and the WI Ward Ferry Committee. Present from MTO was Tina White, Project Manager, Heather Roebuck, Regional Operations Officer, Melissa Buelow, Area Manager, and Amanda Grypma, Environmental Planner. In his opening remarks, Mayor Doyle referred to the 2011 study , (a ferry in Marysville, another at Dawson Pont) noting concerns raised about the scope and size of the Marysville dock alternatives as well as no main street lineup parking, in the present EA study, a deviation away from the original plan. Since the 2011 study the township has been looking at what it would have to do to keep big trucks out of the village of Marysville. Councillor Grant asked about that 2011concept to which Ms. White indicated new information that might make it possible for two ferries in the village, presenting an opportunity depending on the design of the new vessel. But regardless of that, she said improvements must be undertaken at both the Marysville and Dawson Pont docks. Frontenac County Planner Joe Gallivan, updated the meeting concerning the planned seniors project and further donated land, that may lead to a bypass road to reroute heavy traffic out of the village to Dawson Point. The township will ask MTO for a 12 month deferral on the design work for the Marysville Dock until council can do planning work required to ensure that a new
docking system will be compatible with village growth planning. Planner Gallivan will prepare a report for consideration at the September meeting that will assist council in ensuring the present character of Marysville and its expected growth over the next 20 years. MTO’s Tina White strongly defended the Marysville study alternatives. She said that council has asked numerous times that MTO improve marshalling and parking. “From our public input I have not heard a majority of people saying, we would not like you to build this. If you have it has not come back to us”… She asked if council or anyone had written to the Minister to have Road 95 or 96 uploaded to the Ministry. “ I strongly suggest a letter regarding that.” She also suggested one to MTO’s Marine Operational Study if there are ideas on how best to operate 2 vessels, also truck and heavy vehicle traffic. White said the EA Study looks to the future, in this case 20 years and growth, but approval for that doesn’t mean building the whole project at once .

Ms. White encouraged council to look at Marysville and Dawson Point as gateways to the community, “ if you have a vision for that gateway let us hear it.” Councillor Springgay asked Ms. White 3 questions: #1.

Missing pie becomes a mystery for Mother
TICO#50007364
Father, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door. She was
at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies. “There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said. It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes! Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed

flour-bag tea towels. The wonderful sweet smell followed us upstairs. Well, what a commotion greeted us first thing in the morning! We could hear Mother yelling at the top of her lungs, ordering Everett to fetch Father from the barn at once! “He has taken a pie, and probably has eaten most of it by now, and will expect to have a full breakfast when he comes in.” She was sure hoppin’ mad. Well, Father came in and was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie 613-384-0012 since going to 566 Cataraqui Woods Dr, Kingston ON K7P 2Y5 bed.

off the bake table. “Well, it’s gone, and I’ll find out who took it, and there’ll be hang to pay, I can tell you,” she said. The day passed and there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all. Well, the next morning, was a repeat of the morning before. Mother was yelling at the top of her lungs to get Father from the barn at once! Then we saw what she was yelling about. There on the bake table was the empty pie plate, spotlessly clean, shining like a new nickle, with a note written on the back of a cigarette box thanking the lady of the house for the best pie he had ever eaten! Shivers ran up and down my back when we finally realized a tramp had jumped the freight train that passed through our farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night. Father said the smell of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all. He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and
return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the night before. Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors! No one in Northcote locked their doors. Ours didn’t even have a key! For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm. He said he knew they often slept in the barn. And they were hungry...always hungry. Riding the rails was their life, and getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive. After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it. It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs. Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Is there any way the Blue Jays can keep Bautista (and Encarnacion and Saunders) after this season? Column — Wouldn’t it be nice if the Blue Jays could find some way of keeping Jose Bautista a little while longer when this season ends? Bautista, along with Edwin Encarnacion and Michael Saunders are all free agents at the end of this year and given the kind of contracts each will likely command on the open market, there’s just no way all three will be back wearing maple leafs on Canada Day. Saunders, as nice as it would be to have another Canadian on the team, will get offered a contract with Melvin Upton type numbers ($1517 million per for five years or so) by somebody. It could be the Jays, depending on circumstances but let’s move on. Edwin, on the other hand, is rated by Spotrac as No. 19 in terms of market value. (Saunders is 66). This means he’ll command something in the neighbourhood of $23.6 million yearly for five years. With David Ortiz retiring at the end of the season, take a wild guess where Edwin is likely to end up. If not Boston though, there are plenty of AL teams who could afford and would want the big DH-1B (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Texas, Baltimore). That’s a lot of money for the Jays to commit to. Which brings us back to Bautista. Spotrac has Jose at No. 8 in terms of market value. The price tag associated with that is $25.2

million per year and according to that source, he could be asking for six years. He’s 35 and slowing down plus he blew out that deadly arm so it’s looking like he’ll be buying a first baseman’s mitt sometime in the future before finishing his career as a full-time DH. Still, this is Bautista we’re talking about here. The guy’s been the heart and soul of this team for years and even signed a team-friendly contract in an effort to bring another championship to Canada. At $14 million per year, he’s been considerably underpaid in professional baseball terms. Now, no one would begrudge Bautista his chance at a lottery-like payday. And chances are excellent that someone will give it to him (see the possible new homes for Edwin). But, there is also a chance that, given what Bautista has meant to this team, the Jays organization might be willing to make it up to him (somewhat). And, if the chance to finish his career in Toronto came about, he’d probably at least mull it over. First, six years is doable if, say it’s a guaranteed three-year contract with three club option years. If, at any time the club exercises its right not to pick up the contract, then the club guarantees Bautista a decent front-office job (he did study business in junior college). As for money, there are lots of ways to structure that. For example, the first year of the contract could be a ‘reward’ year of $26 million with the following two years (plus options) a respectable $17 million per, with all sorts of incentive clauses for things like home runs, RBIs, walks, you name it. It’s not Miguel Cabrera money, but Jose’s batting average has been steadily declining.

Overcoming a tragic fire: Reinink eggs are back No one knows better than Hank John and Janet Reinink which came first—the chicken or the egg. First it’s the barn, then the chickens, followed by the eggs and then the grading machine. The Reininks’ egg production went up in flames on January 23, 2016. The fire is thought to have started as an electrical issue. “A neighbor down the road woke up after midnight, looked out the window and saw the flames and called 911,” said Janet. “His wife called us. We got the call about 12:30. There was disbelief and total confusion.” They had to decide whether to rebuild from scratch. They decided they were too young to retire, and egg farming is what they love, so they rebuilt. Insurance covered some of their costs. “We lost half our birds, all our equipment and the grading station,” said Hank John. Having their own grading station is what makes the business viable. The large devices aren’t easy to come by for an operation the size of
the Reinink Farm. Most grading stations are geared to gigantic corporate farms. To get a replacement meant a 72 hour round trip drive to Prince Edward Island, taking a grading machine apart there, moving it to Kingston and reassembling it. There are still some repairs required. Hank John’s parents bought the farm in 1961. The barn that the fire destroyed was built in 1963. Hank John grew up on the farm. Janet came from a banking family and had moved repeatedly while growing up. The two met at the University of Guelph, where neither of them was studying agriculture. Janet majored in English literature, Hank John in psychology. They married in 1985, and then, after a summer at the farm, returned to Guelph, where Hank John completed the university’s agriculture diploma program. “I loved being here [at the farm],” said Janet. “It was gorgeous.” The only thing she didn’t enjoy was seeing the chickens in cages. They changed that and adopted a free range approach to their chickens, followed by a move to organic. “Our parents did not direct market,” said Hank John. “I can’t imagine farming without our direct marketing. The interactions at the market are a large part of our social life.” Hank John and Janet have sold
their eggs at the Kingston Market for 23 years and hope to be back as soon as possible. A lot of people miss them. They will be back during this market season, but can’t guarantee a date. “We have customers who tell us their children have only ever eaten our eggs, and their children are now 20,” said Janet. “We have customers who have been with us throughout our time on the farm. We always enjoy seeing our customers at the market.” When you buy eggs, you are getting one of the most complete and healthy foods available. There’s an array of options. Hank John explained that eggs labeled “free run” come from chickens that are not caged. Instead, the birds are allowed to run free in the barn. “Free range” eggs come from chickens that are loose in the barn when they are inside but also have outdoor access. The healthiest and most prized eggs are labeled “organic.” The standards to meet in order to achieve this rating are stringent. Any area to which the chicken has access, must also meet organic standards. So the Reinink chickens can only feed outdoors in fields that themselves meet organic Egg farmers Hank John and Janet Reinink have recently completed the standards. Continued on page 33

Overcoming a tragic fire: Reinink eggs are back Continued from page 32
“Birds have to be organic from day one,” said Hank John. “Chicks we get are fed organic food right from the start. The main thing about being organic is that the feed has to be totally organic and the birds have to be free range. The minimum standard is that your space has to average 1.8 square feet per bird in the barn, and the outside range has to have 50% more space. We have 6000 square feet inside for the almost 3000 birds per barn, and 9000 square feet outside per barn.” The farm is certified by Ecocert Canada, and there’s an annual audit where the farm is examined. Certification also includes checks on the birds as well as the book keeping. “Most of the eggs are laid in nest boxes,” said Hank John. “The whole system is designed to attract the birds into the nest boxes to lay their eggs.” The floor is sloped to a conveyor and eggs are gathered twice a day and put into cool storage. “We also gather any floor eggs two or three times a day,” said Janet. About half the eggs are sold to Burnbrae Farms, which does its own sorting and distribution. The other half of the eggs goes through the Reininks’ grading machine, which also washes, rinses and dries the eggs. After going through the grading machine, eggs are placed in a separate cooler until they are distributed to market or local restaurants and retail outlets. “This is the barn of the future,” said Hank John. “The egg industry is in the throes of change.” Consumer preferences have substantially influenced the market. When consumers care about where a product comes from, including the care of the animals involved in food production, the industry changes. “The bigger retailers are saying that in ten years, they are not going to purchase eggs from caged birds,” said Hank John. “So someone will have to have a system, not necessarily the system we use, but some kind of a system for free run and free range chickens. It’s a big step for the comfort of the chickens.” For a small operation like the Reinink Farm’s 6000 chickens, the system is ideal. “The larger producers are going to be challenged,” said Hank John. “The consumer is influencing the industry and the industry is trying to accommodate. We are already doing this.” Last week, the Reininks moved the first batch of chickens, more than 2800 of them, into a new state-ofthe-art barn. The farm is reg-
istered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and one of the requirements to sell and distribute the eggs is an operational grading machine. “Our priority was to have the barns ready for the birds,” said Hank John. He’s now working on getting the new grading machine operational. On July 23, six months since the day of the fire, they held an open house at their new facility. They witnessed how much the community appreciates them when droves of people showed up to wish them well. Just under 200 visitors, including fellow farmers, dropped by. The parking area in the field across from the barns was quite full in the late afternoon. To honor the biosecurity of the facility, each visitor donned knee-high protective booties over their own footwear before entering the barn. The hosts treated visitors to fresh lemonade and a table overflowing with goodies. And of course, the smiling Reinink couple greeted every visitor personally. “What you do is not who you are,” said Hank John. What he and his wife do is poultry farming. Who they are shows us their values. They’re people who love their community, which loves them back. For the couple of hundred people who showed up during the open house, it was an opportunity to show support and appreciation. “It’s not just a business for us,” said Janet. Knowing what they know after 30 years in the business, would they do it all again? Both said a resounding, “Oh yeah!” “I’d do it all again,” said Janet. “I love my life and it’s been blessed with positive energy that generally gets me through,” said Hank John. “I like where I am, and what I do and whom I’m with.” Mark Bergin on Twitter @markaidanbergin.

The dog whisperer
Continued from page 23
He explained that one of the problems for people meeting a new dog on the street is that they often ask the dog’s owner if they can touch the dog. That’s great, but it’s just as important to ask the dog. To MacVicar, it’s all about communication signals. “If the dog does anything besides coming up to you with a wagging tail and a happy face, then it’s best to leave the dog alone out of respect,” says MacVicar. “Dogs give us all kinds of signals. We need to listen to them.” MacVicar’s areas of expertise are dog aggression, anxiety and hyperactivity. At it’s core, dogmanship is about your relationship with the dog. Why do MacVicar’s methods work so well? “I think it has a lot to do with not limiting myself to tools or techniques that I will apply,” he says. “I will do what is best for the dog. I may use food for a scared or nervous dog. For a brat, I may use a correction, but when I use a correction, it’s a means to an end.”
When he talks about correction, he’s referring to something like a loud and firm, “No!” or some other technique to instantly and intensely indicate disapproval. “One of my mentors gave me the quote, ‘Be as soft as you can and as firm as you need to be.’ I’m not afraid of firmness. It’s important to leave as little ambiguity as possible.” MacVicar explained that how fast and how much change you can expect in a dog depends on how committed the dog is to the problem behavior, how angry the owner is about the behavior, and how consistent the owner can be. “You have to be real consistent or real intense. It comes down to understanding the unfulfilled or unmet need and the unclarified rule for behavior.” You also have to lower a dog’s stress level. “Once the stress comes down, training becomes easier,” he says. “It’s like eating clean. You stop eating sugar and drinking caffeine and you notice changes in your body. The same with lowering a dog’s stress level. When it’s
lowered, you have far fewer problem behaviors.” That’s easier said that done for the average person trying to deal with a dog being an idiot. It doesn’t take long for a downward spiral of poor dog behavior and human frustration to develop. As for dog aggression, MacVicar says that for about 95% of the dogs he’s worked with, it’s not actually a case of the dog being aggressive. “Most of the time, it’s not what I would call aggression, where the dog enjoys hurting someone,” says MacVicar. “Usually, the dog is worried, concerned, fearful, and it’s protecting itself in the only way it knows, and the situation just gets worse. Every now and then, it’s just a matter of pent up energy, especially with breeds like border collies, Jack Russell terriers and German shepherds.” It’s not wise to try on your own to deal with a dog that’s excessively fearful, hyperactive or aggressive. Any amount of money you invest in professional support for poor dog behavior is going to reward you tenfold. It’s all part of responsible pet ownership. If you’re searching for a new pet
at the moment, what should you look for? Unless you want to show a dog, MacVicar recommends that you go through a shelter, rescue or re-homing organization to get your pet. “Lots of dogs need homes,” he says. “Any local Humane Society is worth checking. Will that dog need training? Of course, every dog needs training. A lot of rescue organizations have it in their contract. If you’re getting a dog from a shelter or rescue setting, there’s a strong possibility that dog had stuff happen to it in life. But it’s not essential to know dog’s past to guarantee a good future.” I’ve worked with several dog trainers over the years. I’ve rarely witnessed anyone as skilled as Wade MacVicar in dealing with a dog’s problem behaviors. It’s a treat to watch him work and a joy to listen to his open mindedness, especially in treating each dog and its personality in a unique manner. There are no easy answers. The trick is to find the right match of training method for each dog. How do you find a good dog trainer? “Don’t go by the letters behind their names,” said MacVicar. “All good trainers I know have social media presR0013760403

You’re going to pay good money for a good trainer.” One of the best ways to find a good dog trainer would be by asking your dog’s veterinarian for recommendations. MacVicar said if a trainer fails with a dog, don’t blame the dog. He knows who the good trainers are in the Kingston region. “They’re the ones I never get their messes and past clients.” MacVicar offers free on-site “Lunch and Learn” sessions for local veterinarians in their own clinics.

How to recognize water damage in a home Homes are potentially susceptible to a host of problems. While unforeseen problems can prove costly, homeowners who keep attentive eyes on their homes can oftentimes discover small problems before they escalate. Water damage is a potentially costly problem that can afflict any home. Old homes tend to be most susceptible to water damage, and that damage can manifest itself in various ways. The following are some telltale signs of water damage that should give prospective home buyers pause and compel current homeowners to seek professional assistance as soon as possible. Stains Many prospective home buyers have been disappointed by the sight of water stains during an open house or home inspection. Water stains tend to be on ceilings and/ or walls. Stains on ceilings tend to be round, while wall stains are straight lines down the wall that may or may not have forced paint to peel. Water stains are not necessarily indicative of a major problem, but homeowners should have the stains examined by a professional while potential buyers should direct their home inspector’s attention to the stains. Deteriorating wood Wood around windows or doors that is deteriorating may indicate water problems. The wood might be dete-

riorating because water is infiltrating the wood during storms. Baseboards and molding that is dilapidated or beginning to deteriorate may also indicate water damage. Buckled drywall or wood Drywall or wood that is buckled or beginning to buckle is another potential indicator of water damage. Drywall buckles when it gets wet, and that is often a sign that there is a leak behind the drywall. Severely buckled drywall will feel as if it has ridges. Wood also buckles when it is exposed to excess moisture, and this can usually be felt when walking on the wood barefoot or in socks. Odor Sometimes water damage is best detected by the smell test. Homeowners who notice the smell of mold or mildew in rooms that previously never emanated such odors might have homes that are in the early stages of water problems. The water damage might be behind the walls, where mold is beginning to form thanks to water damage. Older homes tend to be musty, but call in a professional if you notice that mustiness if more pungent than usual. Water damage is a potentially costly problem, especially if it goes unnoticed for months or even years. Homeowners and prospective home buyers should be on the lookout for signs of water damage before problems escalate and require expensive repairs
