Shocked councillors hear woman’s plea for help to fight racism, vow action

BY BILL HUTCHINS

Kingston’s problem with racism runs deeper than many people may think, according to the sister of a woman who was recently the target of racist slurs.

“It should be taken just as seriously as someone who says they’ve been raped,” said Vanessa Ophelia Rigault.

During an emotional appearance before city council on Aug. 8, Rigault outlined in personal detail the blatant and ongoing discrimination her sister has faced since last fall. She said her sister was the target of “rage and anger” and had the N-word hurled at her on several occasions, allegedly by a neighbour, while living in 35 newly planted trees. The upgrades also a Town Homes Kingston apartdoubled the useable space in the park which ment. She recorded the shouting sits in front of the splash pad and Tomlinson of racial slurs in one recent incident and posted it on social meAqua Park.

“The expansion of the park is amazing,” dia. The video was widely viewed said Sue Bazely, co-chair of the Williams- in the city and sparked a subseville Community Association, who was also quent protest outside the same on hand for the official ribbon cutting at the apartment complex.

Rigault said appeals for help playground. “It really makes it a much nicer entrance way and corner to the entire facility from Kingston police and the city-funded nonprofit housing here.”

The celebrations continued with a free agency, of which council is the swim at Tomlinson from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. sole shareholder, have gone unand Neill hopes the community enjoys the answered.

“This situation has gone on new space as much as he does.

“We hope everyone enjoys their time here since September and nobody has done anything,” she told counand comes back a lot.”

Memorial Centre playground gets a facelift

BY MANDY MARCINIAK mandymarciniak@metroland.com

The Memorial Centre playground received a bit of a facelift this summer and on Aug. 13, Williamsville councillor Jim Neill was happy to celebrate the new and improved space with community members and an official ribbon cutting.

“We are so excited to be here today and celebrate this beautiful new park space,” he said. “The city park staff has worked so hard on this park and before this Victoria Park and we are so pleased to be here today enjoying this space.”

The new playground includes new play equipment, paths, seating, picnic tables and

cillors, who listened in stunned silence during her five-minute plea for action.

Rigault said the N-word remains a powerful and hurtful symbol of oppression. “I feel small, ashamed of the colour of my skin, and fear.”

Some councillors called it the most disturbing and powerful delegation to ever appear before them, and vowed to do more to combat racism in the city.

“Racism is changing and we need to adapt,” said Coun. Jeff McLaren.

He said racism has expanded into more “subtle and insidious” forms, and racial discrimination has taken the form of “micro-aggressions, stigmatizations, stereotyping, implicit bias, racial profiling and under-privileging” that often go unrealized by privileged groups.

Coun. McLaren introduced a wide-ranging motion to unanimous council support that calls on the city to review its own antiracism and hate crime policies — including respect in the workplace, workplace violence and harassment, code of conduct, and workplace violence and harassment prevention programs — and to provide council with an update later this year.

The city wants more public education about the various forms racism takes and encourages all city-funded organizations to do the same. The motion also instructs city officials to look into how to provide anti-racism training to all municipal staff and councillors.

“The type of racism that we are discussing has to do with institutional structures,” said Coun. Mary Rita Holland.

Councillors agreed the city needs to lead by example to help increase public awareness of the best methods, practices and policies to challenge manifestations of racism.

Mayor Bryan Paterson said of all the issues that council has debated, racism and discrimination is the one issue that “unifies us.”

“This is making a statement that we stand against any form of hate or discrimination,” he said of the council resolution.

While supporting the call for action, Coun. Kevin George said the city can only do so much to stamp out hate-related crimes. “We can create all the policies we want, but we need the people out

there to act on it.”

He urged citizens to speak out against any perceived racism incident they may encounter.

Coun. George said he will also take Rigault’s message to the police service board, where he is a member, while Coun. Jim Neill, who sits on the board of Town Homes Kingston, urged Rigault and her sister to present their concerns in a delegation to their board.

Amiee Van Vlack, another speaker at council on the topic, pointed to the latest census that showed 93 per cent of Kingston’s population is white, while just 0.8 per cent is black.

“I felt sick and embarrassed,” she said of the racial incidents against Rigault’s sister, noting the incidents have included the use of degrading names, egged windows, banging on walls and being spat upon.

She also claimed there is “little to no protection for people of colour,” and

Another speaker, Nour Mazloum, told council that Kingston may pride itself on hosting multicultural festivals, but beyond the food is the stark reality that racism is lurking right beneath the surface. “People love to try our food, but don’t like having us around.”

Shocked councillors hear a woman’s plea for help to fight racism, vow action

BY BILL HUTCHINS

Kingston city councillors are all aboard Via Rail’s proposed $4-billion high-frequency train line through Ontario and Quebec.

Councillors approved a motion supporting Via’s project, while asking the federal and provincial governments to provide the necessary infrastructure cash to build it.

“I am convinced this is in Kingston’s best interests,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson, who introduced the motion to unanimous approval on Aug. 8.

He says Via’s project, which includes private sector funding, will ensure more train service out

of Kingston, particularly in the early morning and late evening hours to destinations like Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

The crown corporation is proposing to repurpose or construct a dedicated train line between Toronto and Quebec City. However, unlike the current Via train service on existing CN tracks, this dedicated line would roughly parallel Highway 7 in eastern Ontario through communities such as Peterborough, Tweed, Sharbot Lake and Smiths Falls.

“Kingston is not on the new line,” the mayor stressed.

However, he says future benefits for the city include more frequent service on the current shared line. “This plan would make Kingston a hub.”

Via submitted its business plan to the federal government earlier this year — including the cost of modernizing its aging passenger cars and locomotives — and is now awaiting a decision from the cabinet as to whether funding for the highfrequency rail project will get the green light.

“As the number of freight trains, commuter trains and Via Rail trains continues to climb, it will become increasingly difficult for our passenger trains to improve their on-time performance,” according to a recent statement by Via. Via says adding a dedicated line in the corridor will relieve congestion in major urban centres, boost economic development and deliver a safer, more reliable rail infrastructure.

High frequency rail is not the same as constructing a long-talked about high speed rail service in the Windsor to Quebec corridor, which would cost about $20 billion based on a 2011 study. To date, the federal government has not pursued high speed rail, but the Ontario government recently launched a feasibility study to bring high speed train service to southwestern Ontario.

Via’s diesel-powered cars on the proposed new high frequency line would still travel at up to 160 kilometres per hour compared with speeds up to 300 km/h in the more expensive high speed rail option.

“It’s more about reliability than speed,” said

Mayor Paterson of the local benefits.

The mayor says he’s had personal meetings with Via president and chief executive Yves Desjardins-Siciliano to learn about the local benefits of high frequency rail on a dedicated track using conventional trains.

Via’s current use of CN tracks in Ontario makes train service improvements and reliability difficult since freight trains have priority usage, Paterson noted.

The proposed dedicated east-west track between Toronto and Ottawa would have a southerly connection to Brockville. Via will also keep its trains on the shared CN track, which runs through Kingston.

“I am really excited about this project,” said Coun. Laura Turner, who agrees the new train line could stimulate economic growth in Kingston.

The mayor says he consulted Via on the wording of his motion before it was unveiled at council, adding Via is trying to gather support from the municipalities it serves to help bolster its case in Ottawa.

It’s unclear when the Liberal government will make a decision on Via’s high frequency train project. Ottawa has also commissioned a handful of studies to evaluate the options.

lice about the issue, Const. Cam Mack, media relations officer for the Kingston Police said he was unable to find any information.

“I couldn’t find any call regarding this,” he said in an email before suggesting following up with the OSPCA. Once reached, the OSPCA informed The Kingston Heritage that it had turned the case over to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), and suggested following up

It was a case of animal cruelty undoubtedly at the hands of a human – and no one seems to have any information on a subsequent investigation.

On Tuesday, July 4, Adam King, owner and operator of King Wildlife Solutions, received a call from Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, where he had previously volunteered to help with wild animal rehabilitation. King was informed that a skunk had been trapped and was left in a parking lot in downtown Kingston.

With the midday sun beating down, King raced to the site: a dirt parking lot beside a building owned by Queen’s University at the corner of Barrie and Earl Streets. But it wasn’t just the cruelty of the defenseless animal left exposed to the elements and in direct sunlight that left King shocked; when he approached the metal trap containing the skunk, he found a set of jumper cables attached to the cage of the trap.

“The only reason that would happen is if someone was trying to electrocute it, I’m guessing,” said King, who noted some minor wounds to the animal’s paws.

“Someone likely didn’t want to put it in their truck or anything, so I guess that was their method of dealing with it.”

King took the skunk off site and Adam King, owner and operator of King ensured it was stable and well enough Wildlife Solutions, took a picture when he to be returned to the wild. Because of his background in wild animal reha- arrived at a call only to find someone had bilitation and current wildlife control trapped a skunk and then attached jumper business, King said he is often called cables to the metal trap cage. on to deal with issues most other people don’t want to deal with, particularly with raccoons, skunks and bats. He’s seen and heard about his fair share of animal cruelty stories, and even heard COACH & TOURS people proudly recounting how they drowned trapped animals in the past.

But he’s never seen anything like this.

with them. According to Alison Cross, director of marketing and communications for the OSPCA, the MNRF “have jurisdiction under the Fish and Wildlife and Conservation Act to address situations like this.”

At first, calls and emails to the MNRF remained unanswered. Then, The Kingston Heritage received email response from the MNRF media desk on Thursday, Aug. 10 asking if we had any idea why someone tried to electrocute a skunk.

“For example were they trying to protect their property?” the email read.

The Kingston Heritage responded, indicating this incident occurred in downtown Kingston, and it is unknown why someone would attempt to electrocute a trapped skunk. This

reporter again asked if MNRF is investigating this incident and how to find out who is following up on it, but received no response by press time.

And for King, whose prime objective is to ensure the safe removal of wildlife from homes and urban settings and return to natural habitat, the lack of response is unnerving.

“It’s tough to see some of the things that I do see... It’s horrible,” he said.

“And this was a human. A human did this.”

The only saving grace is knowing the skunk was returned to the wild safely, he said.

“I let him go and I saw him run right into a burrow,” said King.

“It had a somewhat happy ending, and that’s the positive thing.”

BY BILL HUTCHINS

Habitat for Humanity has just secured a bargain-basement deal to build more affordable housing in Kingston.

The City of Kingston is virtually giving away some surplus land it owns in Kingston East to the non-profit organization, for the grand sum of $1.

Councillors agreed to donate 0.2 acres of vacant municipal land at 297 Gore Rd. to allow Habitat to build as many as four houses on the site.

Coun. Jim Neill says land affordability within the city has been a deterrent for Habitat to build more affordable housing. “The availability of land has really been an issue and so has the price of land in Kingston.”

Councillors approved the $1 deal based on a staff recommendation on Aug. 8 to dispose of the surplus property, noting the site is a better fit for Habitat’s mission. “It was deter-

mined that partnering with Habitat for affordable home ownership is the best approach,” said a staff report.

Habitat’s new property at the corner of Gore Road and Rose Abbey Drive is part of a larger 1.4 acre parcel owned by the city. For several decades, it was used as unofficial park space next to the existing Buckingham Park and for a water tower.

The elevated water tower has since been decommissioned.

City officials say they rezoned some of the vacant space in 2015 for future affordable housing in Pittsburgh district, and determined Habitat would be the best organization to develop it due to the limited space available.

“The property is a low-density site that will provide for only four townhouse units, which is not conducive to a successful affordable rental unit project for either the private or non-profit sectors,” staff explained.

The appraised market value of each of the

Leukemia, lymphomacancer and multiple are all different types of blood cancer.

Leukemia Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood stem cells. Blood stem cells develop into either lymphoid stem cells or myeloid stem cells.

Lymphoid stem cells develop into lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Lymphocytes help fight infection and destroy abnormal cells. The 3 types of lymphocytes are B cells, T cells and natural killer (NK) cells.

Myeloid stem cells develop into red blood cells, granulocytes, monocytes or platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all tissues of the body. Granulocytes and monocytes are types of white blood cells that destroy bacteria and help fight infection. Platelets form clots in damaged blood vessels to stop bleeding.

There are many different types of leukemia. The 4 main types of leukemia are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer that starts in lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are cells of the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system works with other parts of your immune system to help your body fight infection and disease.

There are more than 30 different types of NHL. They are grouped based on the type of lymphocyte they started from.

Multiple myeloma Multiple myeloma is a cancer that starts in plasma cells.

Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that makes antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) to help the body fight infection.

Multiple myeloma develops when there is a buildup of many abnormal plasma cells (called myeloma cells) in the bone marrow. This makes it hard for other blood cells in the bone marrow to develop and work normally.

It is expected that purchasers will have an annual household income between $45,000 and $65,000.

For a household making $45,000 a year, a Habitat-built house will cost $1,125 per month including mortgage, taxes and insurance, which is about 81 per cent of the average market rent for a three-bedroom unit in Kingston.

Councillors sought assurances their investment will be protected should Habitat be unable to construct the townhouse-style units.

“Habitat has two years to build or the property reverts back to city ownership,” said Sheldon Laidman, director of housing and social services.

While some of the corner lot will become affordable housing, the majority of the site will be added to adjacent Buckingham Park and some will be kept for a municipal road allowance.

A couple of years ago, St. Lawrence College student Amanda Stolk organized a charity drive to collect equipment for children with physical disabilities in Zimbabwe. The drive, held in her hometown of Campbellford, was a huge success and she collected more than $30,000 in equipment.

Now, the behavioural psychology student is hoping to do the same here in Kingston, and this time she has chosen communities in northern Ontario as the benefactors.

“With all of the Indigenous issues that have come about recently, I thought I would look into helping those communities,” she said. “I Googled and got in contact with some people and they told me what they needed and we have gone from there.”

On Saturday, Aug. 19, Stolk will host an Indigenous Medical Aid Drive to benefit six northern Ontario communities — Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, Moosefactory, Peawanuck, Kasechewan and Mooseonee.

These communities are part of the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority, which works with the Ininew Patient Services at Hotel Dieu Hospital. Three times a week, patients from Indigenous communities fly via Air Creebec to Kingston to receive medical treatment that is not available in their own community and now, Stolk will be sending medical assistance to them through this service too.

“I wasn’t aware that there was such a need,” she explained. “Getting the equipment is a huge hurdle. In Kingston, you can receive devices through the government and the Assisted Devices Program (ADP) in a

couple of days, but up there it could take weeks or even months.”

Stolk also explained that in some communities, like Attawapiskat, there are really high unemployment rates, and while programs like the ADP help those who can’t afford equipment, some devices aren’t covered.

“Foot air casts are an example and being unemployed makes it really hard to afford these things if they are needed.”

In terms of supplies, Stolk is looking for any assisted living devices that could be of assistance.

“We are looking for any type of mobility supply except for crutches because they have an abundance of those,” she said. “We are looking for canes, walkers, wheelchairs, bathroom equipment and any medical supplies, really.”

She has also been working with Providence Care to take some of their supplies including hospital beds, which she hopes

will eventually make it to the communities too.

“We have a lot of stuff and the community has really come on board with this,” she said. “It has been amazing to see and we are really grateful for the support.”

Stolk herself requires assisted living devices for her spina bifida and she admits that this is likely part of the reason she feels the need to help others get similar supplies.

“If I was born up there, there is no way I would be receiving the leg braces and devices I need,” she said. “We take it for granted here and we need to be helping our fellow Canadians. I can’t believe this happens in Canada and that people are going without these devices when they need them.”

The supply drive will take place on Saturday, Aug. 19, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Passionate Artisans at 28 Bath Rd. Monetary donations will also be accepted at the drive.

EDITORIAL

In Our Opinion

A first birthday, an important milestone My second and likely final child, Everly, turns one year old this month. This fills me with a number of complex emotions.

First, there is sadness. My baby isn’t such a little baby any more.

She is more of a toddler now, waddling around on chubby legs, falling every few steps then picking herself back up, all the more determined. I look at photos of Everly when she was a tiny newborn and am filled with nostalgia.

She has changed so much in one short year – her eyes went from blue to brown, and her once bald head has grown a mess of wispy blonde hair. She’s come into her looks more and Steve and I are finally able to see ourselves in her, where we once saw only “baby.�

There is also relief, because as sad as it is that I will (probably) never again give birth or be a mom to a newborn, it’s also liberating.

A first birthday is an important milestone that signals the end of a life-changing year for a family - a step toward a life that is hopefully less exhausting. Life with a baby is hard work. Being a mom the most physically, mentally and emotionally challenging job I’ve ever done.

There are no vacations and few if

any breaks.

Parenting is challenging at all stages, but at least with my other daughter, Summer, I continue to find that the older she gets the easier she becomes to manage. Being able to communicate with words simplified things enormously. To me, there is nothing worse than a baby screaming. Give me a whining five-year-old any day. I can make it stop by threatening to take away privileges, or promising rewards for good behaviour. You don’t need to haul a stroller and diapers everywhere you go with older children, and it’s much easier to cut corners or steal a moment of relative peace when necessary because of how easily entertained they are by their friends, Netflix and games on the iPad. I find my children’s birthdays make me do a lot of personal reflecting, far more so than New Year’s or my own birthdays, which seem less and less significant the older I get. The day Summer was born, my life changed forever.

The catch was that I myself didn’t magically transform the second I became a mother, which is what I expected would happen. I was the same person in a dramatically different life, and adjustment was

long and hard.

The day Everly was born, I had more realistic expectations. I knew exactly what I was getting into and was mostly prepared. But then we had two kids, of course, so it was still (and continues to be) an adjustment. Life is more chaotic and stressful, the house is messier and there are even fewer “breaks.�

On my girls’ birthdays, I like to reflect on how our family has evolved. The little (or big) alterations we’ve made to accommodate each other’s changes. Such changes are more noticeable and dramatic in the little ones, but they’re there in Steve and me, too, in more subtle ways.

The past year has seen more personal change than any other single year of my adult life, save one – and not just because Everly appeared on the scene. Summer also started school last year, which was its own adventure, and world events have been unsettling in ways I never could have conceived of previously.

But the bottom line is you only have one first birthday. It’s a pretty big deal, and we’re going to celebrate accordingly – with balloons and a smash cake.

Take advantage of the best light show in Southern Ontario Looking up at the stars is always enjoyable and lets face it, this activity is extra enjoyable in the warmer summer months when it is actually tolerable to be outside. But as the world and cities continue to grow, looking up at the night sky can seem rather pointless; light pollution and pollution in general tends to obstruct our view of the stars and planets making them harder and harder to see.

Luckily, in Kingston and Frontenac, we live pretty close to an area that allows us to see these rare light shows in all their glory and even luckier, it is completely free.

The Lennox and Addington County Dark Sky Viewing Area is located just a few kilometres north of Napanee and it is the most southerly point in Ontario that offers a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago.

The site opened in 2012 and was discovered by star enthusiast and author Terence Dickinson. The site attracts thousands of visitors each year, all hoping to get a glimpse of the latest meteor shower or simply take in as much of the night sky as possible.

The site includes a large concrete pad for camera or telescope setup, or placement of lawn chairs for general stargazing and enthusiasts are encouraged to bring along binoculars or a telescope and witness - perhaps for the first time - how the night sky is meant to be seen.

Recently the site hosted dark sky viewing nights on Aug. 11 and 12 where visitors took in the Perseid meteor shower, but don’t fret if you missed out. The site hosts regular events including an upcoming night in October where visitors will get a chance to see the Draconid meteor shower.

While meteor showers may be the main attraction for many, we feel that on a clear night simply going to take in the view of the night sky is worth the trip. What could be better than an evening under the stars?

In which we take a ghostly tour ... and hear of skulls on bikes and stranglers, grave robbers and hauntings galore Jamie Swift COLUMNIST

Ghosts and horror stories are popular wherever you go, and an old town like Kingston is scarcely an exception. Here, visitors can choose between two tours featuring grisly tales of both actual historical horror

and stirring accounts of the supernatural.

The foreboding Rockwood Asylum, now standing empty, was a tourist attraction in the 19th century. One day in 1882, 1,000 people came to look at the building designed by prominent local architect William Coverdale. Kingstonians were apparently pretty proud of a place that was even featured on turn of the 20th century postcards. I doubt that many of them knew what happened behind those walls.

As part of my exploration of what tourists learn about Kingston, I took the Ghost and Mys-

tery Tour along with a crowd of curious visitors in a Kingston Trolley Tours bus searching for the macabre. Guide Jennifer Walsh started off tales familiar to local enthusiasts of the paranormal.

Theresa Beam, strangled by her lover when she told him she was pregnant, haunts a gloomy limestone passage off King Street. The ruthless scoundrel, a prominent businessman named Napier, didn’t want his reputation besmirched, so he dismembered poor Theresa and buried the remains around and about. Or so the story goes.

“Help me find my bones!”

That’s how Jennifer, a Queen’s English undergrad, tells it. The bus was pretty well full that moonlit night. We learned that the spectre of a nun frequents the top floor of the old part of the Hotel Dieu, lamp in hand as she makes her rounds. And the ghost of Lily Herchmer flitters about the Prince George Hotel. She perished in a fire while waiting in an upstairs window for her sailor-lover. Apparently she dropped the lamp she was using as a signal. Or so the story goes.

Women don’t fare too well in the history of old Kingston, if the ghost tour is anything to go by. Driver Ross Anderson makes a stop at Rockwood, where women were penned up in the stables until their part of the massive limestone complex was completed. Being labelled “promiscuous” could be enough to consign a woman to the grim precincts of the waterfront building.

Rockwood is located on the grounds an estate once owned by local grandee and John A. Macdonald crony John Cartwright. One poem written at the time laments the conditions.

Oh, would to God! That I were able To build a house like Cartwright’s stable.

It fills my heart with great remorse To be worse housed than Cartwright’s horse Jennifer tells our curious group that early treatments at Rockwood included drilling holes in the skull, bleeding people and even locking them into boxes for immersion in ice cold water.

“I’m sure there are thousands of miserable, sad stories,” local architectural historian Jennifer McKendry said in a 2006 interview. “Imagine yourself, you go out to that building, stand there, and think: you are ill, your family or loved ones have driven you out there in a carriage and dropped you off with a satchel and now you have to live there …. There must have been lives of misery, sadness and terror.”

The Rockford Asylum was commissioned by John A Macdonald. And if there’s one problem with this ghost tour, it’s the overemphasis on

Macdonald’s life story. This is apparently now compulsory in any tourist gig hereabouts, even though it’s hardly relevant to horror stories — unless one includes Macdonald’s instrumental role in starting the residential school program. It was aimed at stamping out Indigenous culture.

Uncountable children died. That’s a horror story all of its own, though seldom mentioned as part of Kingston’s Official Story of Macdonald.

So our tour took us to the wonderful old Cataraqui Cemetery, where we got out to see Macdonald’s grave and hear even more about the Great Man. One Toronto man mused about how the leafy spot would have made a great golf course.

Then we headed back downtown, learning about the Irish typhus and cholera victims and their mass grave somewhere around Kingston General. Then there were the many hangings in what’s now the parking lot behind the courthouse. The gruesome procedures could be seen from the ornate, Gothic Revival “McIntosh Castle” house across the street. Jessica described it as “Reality TV for Kingston’s upper class.”

Heading north along Clergy Street, the bus passed Sydenham Ward’s uber-friendly Geoff Smith, out walking his dog. Anyone who took a history course from the retired professor knows that he’s a fellow of strong voice.

“Welcome to Kingston! Enjoy your trip!”

We proceeded to Skeleton Park, the old boneyard that’s now the city’s most vibrant park. Jennifer did a fine job of regaling the tourists with Skeleton Park lore, including one of my favourites. Local kids used to unearth bones and attach their trophies to their bikes.

Jennifer had it many of the riders featured handlebar skulls. She also told the group about a shady band called Resurrectionists who would supply Queen’s medical students with fresh cadavers from Skeleton Park. I’d not heard that one, but did appreciate the detail about how the grave robbers would haul the corpses up with a hook attached under the chin.

The tour trolley proceeded to Fort Henry to hear about Fenian raids, further hangings and hauntings before finishing back downtown. I headed over to Rocheleau Court to see if Theresa Beam has given up her 150 year search for her bones.

“Embrace the dark,” proclaimed the sign at the end of the dim alley.

It was a beer ad. But it seemed appropriate.

The Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning saw a 30 per cent increase in visitors in its second year of operation compared with 2015, according to a new report to city council.

A 2016 report from the not-for-profit organization that runs the Tett Centre through a master lease agreement with the city says the venue brought in 21,000 people for programs, tours, rentals and partnership events.

“Together with data from tenant organizations and the Juniper Café, we estimate that total foot traffic to the building may have reached a significant milestone of 100,000 visitors,” the report noted.

Programming highlights for 2016 include the Kid’s Creativity Club on Saturday mornings, a pilot after-school arts program for youth (KABOOM), the spring Arts Expo open-house and autumn Culture Days celebration, the Sweet Crude and Daybreaker dance parties, an offsite series of arts workshops for patients at St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital, the initiation of summer tours in partnership with the Isabel Bader Centre, the Arts by the Lake summer arts camp, and the continuing Queen’s Fit-To-Lead professional program drawing Canada’s top business leaders to the Tett.

The increase in programming helped bolster the bottom line. The Tett says overall space rentals generated over $228,000 in revenue, and now accounts for 55 per cent of all revenue versus 50 per cent in 2015, said the year-end report.

get into the outdoors

The Tett had total expenses of $374,272 covering payroll, utilities and program costs compared with $431,328 in revenues, including an annual contribution of $125,000 from taxpayers, $122,000 from room rentals and program fees, and $100,000 from tenants.

Regular tenants of the city-owned cultural hub include: Kingston School of Dance, Modern Fuel Art, Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners, Kingston Potter’s Guild, Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club, Theatre Kingston, Joe’s Musical Instrument Lending Library and the waterside café.

Officials say they finished the year with an unaudited operating surplus of $57,056, and roughly half of it was used to retire all debt associated with the fit-out of the Juniper Café space.

“A modest operating surplus of $4,500 and a balanced budget are forecast for 2017 and 2018 respectively,” the report concluded.

The original Tett Centre was constructed around 1844 as the Morton brewery and distillery. It was transformed into a military hospital during the First World War and became owned by the city in the 1970s. The building fell into disrepair while it was being used by local artisans until the city launched plans to undertake extensive renovations.

The refurbished 19th century limestone building opened to the public in January 2015, located right beside Queen’s University’s Isabel Bader Centre for Performing Arts on King Street West.

goalposts and while he feels that is very important, he also feels it is important to honour Garrett and how he lived life.

“I have done my best to put out the word about the dangers of unanchored soccer nets, but I want Garrett to be remembered so much more for how he lived than how he died,” he said. “I want that to be his legacy, rather than the cause of his death.”

A few days before Garrett died, Mills recalls a conversation he had with his son while they were in the hot tub. Garrett asked what it means to have a legacy and Mills did his best to explain.

“I explained that most times it is a positive memory that someone is known for and something they have done or some reputation they have left behind,” he said.

“He just thought about it and said he’d like to leave a legacy someday before he goes. Then just a few days later he was gone and it was with that conversation in mind that I wanted to do something that could build a legacy.”

On August 27, the community will come together to Continued on page 15

celebrate Garrett Mills at the first annual GarrettFest.

It has been a while since Wolfe Islanders heard from MTO (Ministry of Transportation) with regard to the Environmental Assessment for the Wolfe Island Ferry and Docking/Improvements study undertaken last year. The good news is that MTO continues to move forward toward greater capacity for the Wolfe Island ferry service. MTO will be holding two public information centres, one on Wolfe Island Aug. 23 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Sacred Heart School, and the second in Kingston Aug. 24, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Holiday Inn, Kingston Waterfront (Bellevue North Room).

This final round of sessions provide the public, and stakeholders, the opportunity to review and discuss the EA process with the Morrison Hershfield Ltd /MTO Project Team. And to provide input on the evaluation and selection of the preferred alternative for each terminal Kingston, Marysville, Dawson Point and all that includes, and perhaps to talk about the ferry service itself and the promised ferries. A community advisory group meeting will be held sometime in September.

Islanders will remember also the public visit of Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca to Wolfe Island, with MPP Sophie Kiwala, in October 2015 at which time he talked about the EA pro-

cess for a second ferry to increase capacity with a design process beginning in 2016. It was good news indeed to be informed that MTO would move on the process of procuring two new ferries, one 40-car ferry, requiring no EA since it does not increase capacity, for the municipally operated Amherst Island Ferry Service, and one 75-car vessel for the Wolfe Island Ferry service.

MTO issued a request for qualifications (RFQ), for the design-build of the two ferries, going forward as one project in the procurement process and running concurrently with the ongoing Environmental Assessment for the Wolfe island ferry dock improvement project.

That EA is scheduled to be completed this year. The ferry procurement process to acquire the design-build firm could take up to 10 months, and should be completed this year as well. When a short list of qualifying shipyards is developed, the second stage of the procurement process, the (RFP) Request for Proposals will be issued. Minister Del Duca came back last year to the region to let Amherst Islanders know that the contract for their new 40-car ferry would be awarded and, when complete and in service, the Frontenac II would become the backup ferry for Amherst and Wolfe Island, a promise he made on his original visit to Wolfe island.

That decision alone means there could be two ferries operating at Wolfe Island in 2018 or 2019, maybe? But according to a provincial government website, designing and building the new ferry for Amherst Island is expected to take approxi-

mately 24 months, while the 75-car ferry for Wolfe Island will take an additional 12 months. Approximately one million passengers and 500,000 vehicles travel between Wolfe Island and Kingston each year, while approximately 270,000

passengers and 130,000 vehicles travel to and from Amherst Island annually. And I understand the contract may be issued this fall.

It's been quite a summer for Wolfe Island. With the closure of Big Sandy Bay due to high water and damage at the site, revenues are down with fewer people coming to the island, one would assume. Not so. There are more and more walkons, with cyclists also on the increase.

All great for business but most ferry runs leave vehicles behind. There is no doubt Wolfe Island needs a second ferry. With the water so high it is expected that the Wolfe Islander III may continue running from the village indefinitely. But the ferry line in Marysville can be quite dangerous with the curve in the road, its narrowness and trees causing passing difficulties for people coming into the village from the east end of the island, and for large trucks attempting to get into the lineup. Also for those determined to speed their way into and through the village. The MTO students, for the most part, are conscientious about moving cars forward to fill in spaces in the lineup. But they can’t change the road the cars are on.

Mills, a longtime radio DJ in Napanee, had the idea of hosting a music festival in honour of his son. Friend Keith Gordon had a similar idea around the same time and so together they started working on GarrettFest.

“This is kind of a last minute thing and I had originally planned to wait a year, but Keith suggested that we get it going now while there is a still a recent memory of who Garrett was and is in the community.”

The festival will take place on Aug. 27 at the Strathcona Paper Centre Arena and will feature performances from local bands The Saturday Night Glad Rags, Knuckel Hed and Trilogy. All proceeds will go toward creating a scholarship fund in Garrett’s memory.

“We wanted to do something that could create a scholarship that will hopefully be awarded to somebody that emulates the same kind of attitude and citizenship that Garrett lived every day,” said Mills. “He was an amazing individual and always a peacemaker, and we want to keep that spirit going in the community.”

The day will also feature a number of door prizes, raffles and refreshments.

Mills hopes the day will be an opportunity for the community to come together and remember and celebrate Garrett.

“It is a good thing for all of us to come together and I am sure there will be people there who have never met Garrett and just want to give to the cause and that is fantastic.

But I know a lot of Garrett’s friends will be there, too, and people that personally knew him,” he said.

“I think it will be a great chance for the community to come together and maybe heal a little by sharing memories, too.”

GarrettFest takes place on Sunday, Aug. 27 from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Strathcona Paper Cen-

tre Arena, 16 McPherson Dr. Tickets are $20 and available in downtown Napanee at Gray’s IDA, Marie’s Place Music Emporium, and AquaSure Water Systems.

On Saturday, Aug. 19, the Kingston and District Civitan will host a Battle of the Bands at Zorba’s to benefit the estimated 39,000 Canadians already afAs the wildfires continue to rage on Canada’s west fected by the fires in British Columbia, and they are coast, a group of Kingstonians is doing what they can hoping that music can bring people together for the cause. to lend their support.

“It is all about helping out fellow Canadians and doing it with music,” said Edie Emmons, president of the Kingston and District Civitan. “We thought about what we could do and this seemed like a fun way to bring people together and give back.”

The Civitan is known for helping individuals in the community, especially those with disabilities. They work to organize fundraisers for assistance devices and they also work to raise funds for causes they feel are important, and while a battle of the bands may seem like an odd choice for a fundraiser, they also wanted to involve musicians in the community.

“Battle of the Bands involves a lot of local unnamed bands and gives them exposure,” explained John Carr, a member of the Civitan.

“A lot of bigger bands that could headline, they want to be paid, and Left to right: Civitan members John Carr and current president Edie that is not what this is about.”

Our culture is physically toxic.

Acceptance of each human being as he or she exists, regardless of culture of origin, race, sex, creed, sexual orientation and whether or not they like to read books or watch movies is one thing. But there’s a dangerous line of accepting everyone as they are. I sometimes wonder if it can become an encouragement of unhealthy lifestyles. Where do we draw the line?

I was thinking about acceptance as I stood in line in the grocery store. Every member of a family behind me, including the three children, was significantly overweight. Their shopping cart overflowed with sugar-filled, prepackaged, unhealthy food. Not a single fresh veggie in the cart. My conscience did pop up and fear of "fat-shaming" entered my mind.

As for this family, none of my business, really, what they eat. Same for whether or not someone smokes or drives a car 100 km over the speed limit on a deserted road.

But, with that fear of “fat-shaming” I wondered if I should even write this column?

I decided to go ahead, cognizant of not wanting my words used in any way to shame anyone for any reason.

There is clearly a time when there has to be

a message: This is not healthy for you, whether it's to a child about to run in front of traffic or the addict about to sink the syringe.

I have no trouble whatsoever commenting that someone mainlining heroin is on a risky path that could easily end in death. I accept heroin addicts as fully worthy human beings, but I do pass judgment regarding their choices.

In that way, I should also be able to say that someone is on a similar risky path if they continue to ingest unhealthy fat-promoting foods, just as I feel free to think that someone with emphysema (or anyone, for that matter) should not smoke.

Although I live a life filled with extremes (I admit that adrenalin is an exciting chemical in my body), I do advocate for everything in moderation, be it alcohol or food choices.

You want bacon for breakfast? Go for it. You want to eat only fruit that has fallen from trees because you don’t want to be the killer of anything, that’s up to you (I’m reminded of the fruitarian scene from Notting Hill). But, indeed, I cringe when I see unhealthy people smoking or eating unhealthy food, and I use the term food loosely.

There are those who are always dieting and eating nothing but fat-free everything. In my view, fat-free is at worst a scam and at best misleading, and there is a lot of documentation to support that view.

We are a culture of addicts. Drugs, sex, sugar, news junkies, gambling, you name it. We humans seem able to become addicted to it.

The group wanted to keep costs down wherever they could for the event, and part of that was asking bands to donate their time.

“It is not what is in it for the band or for us, it is what we can do for the people in British Columbia who need our support,” said Carr.

In addition to donated time from the bands, Zorba’s generously donated the event space for the night, eliminating major overhead costs.

“I always like to help out charities and I was happy to help this cause,” said Connie Galanis, owner of Zorba’s. “I donated the hall, and my employees are volunteering their time, too. We want them to be able to raise as much as possible.”

The event already has five bands signed on for the evening, and Emmons is hoping that they can have eight to 10 by the time the date arrives. Zorba's can hold hundreds of

people, and the hope is that they can sell out the venue, too.

“We’ve even had people buying tickets who can’t come because they want to give to the cause,” she said. “We don’t have a dollar amount in mind that we want to raise — just as much as we can.”

Ken Logan is a member of Aftershock, one of the bands that will be playing the event, and he has been encouraged to see so many musicians signing on. He is working hard to recruit more and he hopes to have a mix of country, alternative and cover bands.

“Kingston is a music city, and this event fits in with that,” he said. “We are also a very giving city and we hope people will come out and show that.”

The Kingston Civitan Battle of the Bands takes place on Saturday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. at Zorba’s. Tickets are just $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and all proceeds will be going to the Red Cross. Tickets can be purchased at Long and McQuade on Midland Avenue, Centre Stage on Princess Street, and Brian’s Record Option on Princess Street.

You are what you consume Continued from page 18

How does one become healthier, or healthy? For a start, stop watching the news and stop eating sugar. You’ll be amazed at the improvement in your life. This morning I read an article by Rolf Dobelli about how people who watch the news are far less happy and creative than those who never watch the news. He's taken a lot of flak for the article. I’m in the "never watch the news" category. It doesn’t mean I’m ignorant of what’s going on in the world, but I selectively read multiple (and contradictory) sources of information online and in printed journals and magazines. I don’t sell my mind to any TV news channel to inform me as it sees fit.

I inform myself. I haven’t watched news on TV, well, now that I think of it, the last time was September 2001.

Dobelli clearly noted his support for investigative journalism. However, he pointed out that today's news is not journalism, investigative or otherwise. His rationale for giving up the news included the following: news wastes your time as it is misleading and irrelevant, primarily because what passes for news these days has no explanatory power.

News is toxic to the body because, by design, rather than informing us, it triggers our limbic system, which puts us in a state of chronic stress. News inhibits thinking, works like a drug and makes us passive receptors of information; we are not searching or researching, we are being fed. News kills creativity.

So, dump the news. You'll be a happier person.

As for sugar, The New York Times reported on an article in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal, which had reported in November 2016 that in 1967 “the sugar industry paid Harvard scientists to publish a study blaming fat and cholesterol for coronary heart disease while largely exculpating sugar.”

The 1967 study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, “helped set the agenda for decades of public health policy designed to steer Americans into low-fat foods, which increased carbohydrate consumption and exacerbated our obesity epidemic.”

As historian David Singerman at the University of Virginia (also reported in the New York Times) has noted: “The sugar industry remains politically powerful, with consequences for both public health and the environment.”

Don’t get me started on bottled water.

Just turn on the tap. That’s where most of the water in those plastic bottles comes from anyway.

Am I involved in unsafe activities and do I take risks? Frankly, quite often, and far more than the average person. But I try to minimize the risks in my activities.

I explore strange places, and love underground worlds and tunnels. I love climbing.

I’ve studied numerous martial arts for many years, from judo and kung fu to jiu-jitsu and karate. Each of these activities is certainly not without risk.

It wasn’t a secret for long ... even if it was meant to be. But no one got a brand-new car without the news spreading pretty fast.

Being next farm to Uncle Alec’s though, meant that we got a look at the new Plymouth before anyone else at Northcote. And what a beauty it was. Certainly many steps up from the old Model T with the hole in the back floor, and the two front fenders different colours, which we got in a trade.

I was just as excited as was my little friend Velma when the new car came into her family. My sister Audrey wondered where the money came from. Did Uncle Alec sell off his herd of cattle, or his workhorses? No, he didn’t. The cows and the horses were right there in the barnyard.

Uncle Alec, the good neighbour that he was, was more than generous letting us all have a ride in the new Plymouth, taking Mother to Briscoe’s General Store, and our family taking turns, and once driving Velma and me all the way to Douglas.

He was pretty fussy about his new car too. None of his sons were allowed behind the steering wheel, even though they were old enough to drive. Even when they were courting, they had to take the horse and buggy, just like every other young fella in Northcote, who wasn’t lucky enough to have a new Plymouth sitting in his yard.

My friend Velma said her father could often be seen wiping the shiny fenders with his handkerchief, and when it rained, he covered it with a canvas to keep it dry. Yes, he was pretty fussy ... at least at the start of ownership.

But like all things bought for use on the farm back then, the time would come when it would have to be put into other service.

It wasn’t that the thrill of a new car had worn off. Certainly not! It

was still the nicest car to be parked at the Lutheran Church on Sundays.

Ralph, one of the older boys, was eventually allowed to get behind the wheel, but only after Uncle Alec let him run it around the 20-acre field a good many times.

I was always amazed that Aunt Bertha never learned to drive the new car. Certainly, we didn’t have the old Model T more than a day or so, before Mother got behind the wheel, drove out the long lane, and headed all the way into Renfrew.

But not Aunt Bertha. She left the driving to Uncle Alec.

Well, as the novelty of the new car wore off, and it was commonplace to see it parked in the rain, and the Thom boys, one by one, were allowed to get behind the wheel, you could see that Uncle Alec

would be putting the Plymouth to other uses, to get the full value out of the dollars he spent on it. No longer did we have to take our shoes off when we got in the Plymouth, and it wasn’t unusual to see Uncle Alec unload a few bags of wheat from the grist mill.

But I knew the new car had lost its glory when I was over playing with Velma one Saturday, and Uncle Alec had parked the car close to the barn.

When he wheeled the car over to the house to tell Aunt Bertha he’d

be back in time for supper, a Holstein calf had its head out one back window, and a sheep out the other.

Uncle Alec headed into Renfrew to market the two, and the fastest way to get there was in the Plymouth that only a scant few months before was treated like a member of the family.

Sometimes, I think the safest activities are the most dangerous. After one particularly rough karate class a few years ago, I came home with multiple bruises on my arms. But I’d blocked well and taken not a single damaging hit. After a shower, I sat down to eat a soft sandwich and with the first bite there was a most unpleasant cracking sound in my mouth.

A front tooth had broken in half. From a sandwich. Nature has a twisted sense of humour.

I explore many areas of New York City

and other locations, some of which are considered no go and unsafe for outsiders.

Never had a problem. In late November of 2015 I was out with a friend looking at Christmas decorations and walking along a street in very safe midtown Manhattan near Carnegie Hall and was attacked from behind with a metal bar to the back of the neck/head by three guys apparently hoping to rob me. Karate saved my life; I’m sure of it. But I’m left with intense chronic pain in my neck and shoulders that reaches unbearable levels. I use (legally prescribed) morphine to function. This attack was a reminder to me to avoid the safe areas of

urban centres. Just kidding, but it does make the point that always striving for safety does not necessarily lead to a safer or happier life.

The only true way to avoid all risk might be to stay in one place, wrap yourself in bubble wrap, and always wear a protective mask. But that's an illusion. Our bodies need to be exposed to bugs, germs, and risk in order to build up resistance. Same for psychological protection: You want a child to grow up to be a super anxious adult?

Over protect them in childhood and never let them experience any stress. In other words, you never let them learn to develop the skills to handle stress.

Back to nutrition, what’s the answer? I’m still a believer in everything in moderation.

I think it’s a pretty good rule in life. Do I drink? I love whiskey (that’s a yes). Do I get drunk? No. Do I eat sugar? Love the cursed stuff. But I’m mindful to always eat the best and freshest foods I can find, so when I ingest the sweetness of sugar, I have no guilt or regret.

It’s important to eat foods that are as fresh as possible. In this region, we are fortunate to have access to farm gate operations where you can get the freshest of foods and meet the people who grew them.

I get most of my dairy products from Limestone Organic Creamery. How cool is it that this company still delivers to your door weekly!? Their milk comes in glass containers that are re-used many times. I believe that one of the true evils in life is

plastic. I love pouring my milk out of glass containers.

I enjoy shopping at any of our many local and regional markets from Kingston to Gan, Perth and Bath. This morning I was at the Kingston Farmers’ Market behind city hall. I chatted with vendors who told me how this year’s crops are doing. It’s a wonderful feeling to be handed a paper bag full of veggies by the person who has grown and harvested them.

We have many choices in life. When you have to visit an office that is four, five, six or seven floors above the ground, you can choose to take an elevator or walk up the stairs. Each of these decisions affects your health.

Each choice we make has a consequence.

Educate yourself.

Become a skeptical observer. Just because it’s in print or on the internet or in a documentary on Netflix, it doesn’t make it fact.

An important skill for ourselves and one we can teach our children is media literacy, otherwise known as how to sniff out BS. Explore multiple sources to learn what’s healthy. Trust independent research over food-industry-funded research. Learn to question sources and studies. Your life depends on it.

— there are some really good policies out there.”

Arthur believes such policies will be essential in the age of increased urbanization.

“More people are living in cities and we’re going to have to figure out a way to feed those people and be environmentally sustainable.”

For his own part, Arthur buys food for Chez Piggy from over a dozen different lo-

cal farms.

“From a restaurant perspective, local food is simply better,” he explains. “It tastes better. It lasts longer in the fridge because it hasn’t spent a week in warehouses and coming here on a plane … Just try a carrot from the Kitchen Garden beside one from the grocery store, they don’t taste like the same vegetable.”

He describes food as the

As head chef at Chez Piggy restaurant, Ian Arthur has been cooking delicious meals for the people of Kingston for almost a decade. Now, he’s looking to give back to the community in a different way.

“I’ve always been interested in politics from the time I was a little kid,” says Arthur, who studied political science and international development at Trent University before embarking on a career as a chef. “I always thought it was something that I would like to do eventually.”

So the 32-year-old threw his hat into the ring for the local Kingston and the Islands provincial NDP nomination; the vote is expected to take place sometime in late autumn.

Arthur describes himself as an “economic environmentalist” and hopes to bring more of an environmental angle to the discussion. He grew up near Lyndhurst, where his parents ran one of the area’s first organic commercial market gardens.

“I was home-schooled, so my parents had a big influence on me,” Arthur says. “I think that particularly Chez Piggy head chef Ian Arthur is eying the provincial political scene.

Photo by Ted Sheppard the kind of environmental viewpoints that I have, which are a lot of what pulls me toward politics, came from that upbringing — being on a farm, learning the importance of things like organic.”

Arthur believes climate change is the biggest issue society will face in the coming decades and years. As a chef, he says he’s already directly feeling the effects.

“Having food sovereignty in our area is going to be more and more important because as soon as places like Peru or Argentina, which export huge amounts of food, can’t produce enough, they’re going to keep what they can grow for themselves and our access to these cheap imported foods is going to plummet.”

He gives the example of when the price of cauliflower spiked 95 per cent a few years ago.

At Padgett, we are small “California just had a huge drought, one of the biggest droughts business specialists they’ve ever had … people were whose passion is helping bringing cauliflower from France — that’s how far they had to go to find small businesses succeed. it.”

“It impacts everyone — it’s the common ground that everyone in the world has.”

Food struggles, Arthur says, occur all over the world, and Kingston is no exception.

“North Kingston is a food desert — that’s something that needs to be addressed.”

Chez Piggy chef strives to make a difference in and out of the kitchen Continued from page 27

He notes that there are also some less obvious transferable skills between politics and the business of food.

“Sometimes I joke that I’m an over-glorified babysitter,” Arthur laughs. “I manage a big kitchen with a lot of employees and a lot of different things that they have in their lives, which are all entirely legitimate.”

There’s also the fiscal responsibility involved.

“We run the kitchen on a budget,” Arthur explains. “The restaurant industry has such crazy tiny margins, we’re trying to figure out how to save every penny and how to use every single part of every ingredient that comes into the kitchen. Otherwise, it just doesn’t work.”

has also informed his opinions on economic issues.

“Small business is the backbone of our economy in Ontario and it’s so incredibly important to understand their needs and what they struggle with — the $15 minimum wage is great, but let’s pair that with small business tax cuts.”

As a chef, Arthur remarks that he’s also learned how to bounce back quickly from various setbacks and find creative solutions to challenges — something else he hopes will aid him in bringing a refreshing perspective to the political scene.

“It forces a lot of outside the box creative thinking, which is actually what I think government really needs. We need solutions that fall outside the traditional ways of doing things.”
