New plaque commemorates historical significance of Cataraqui Cemetery

By Rob Mooy

News - A small group of dignitaries and members of the Historical Costume Club of Kingston, wearing Victorian clothing, gathered to celebrate the unveiling of a new plaque commemorating the national historic significance of Cataraqui Cemetery by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada on Aug. 10.

The commemoration of Cataraqui Cemetery reflects its position as one of the best examples of a medium-sized rural or garden cemetery in Canada.

Designed by Frederick Cornell and established as a non-denominational cemetery in 1850, the park-like Cataraqui Cemetery now covers approximately 40 hectares and is laid out according to picturesque design principles.

“I am extremely proud to commemorate the national historic significance of Cataraqui Cemetery,” said Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands Mark Gerretsen, on behalf of Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna.

“Celebrating significant places such as this allows Canadians to appreciate our varied history and feel pride in the developments that have shaped our nation. From the range of monuments to the long list of great Canadians that rest here, Cataraqui Cemetery connects us with those who have contributed immensely to Canadian society. This is an important site not just for Kingston, but for Canada.”

Gerretsen highlighted that walk-

ing through Cataraqui Cemetery is like talking a walk through the historic cultural heritage of Canada. He called it a place full of connections to our ancestors - who they were and how they chose to be remembered.

“Looking at some of the tombstones, the individual dates of births and deaths, thoughts of struggle and hardship come to mind, while other monuments are a testament to the success of individuals, financially or as great contributors to Kingston and our nation of Canada.”

Gerretsen added that for the relatives of all those buried at the cemetray,

this national historic site also provides a direct connection to personal family heritage.

“Cataraqui Cemetery is definitely a place of national historic significance and most definitely holds a special place in the hearts of all Kingstonians.”

Cataraqui Cemetery is the only cemetery in Ontario to have the distinction of being the final resting place of two Fathers of Confederation: Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Alexander Campbell. It is also the final resting place of many great humanitarians, entrepreneurs, giants of industry, authors, celebrities and history makers.

O Down, Taxes in OAC

Councillors want to know long-term tax impact of suburban housing

By Bill Hutchins

News – What are the long-term costs to taxpayers of urban sprawl?

Councillor Jeff McLaren estimates Kingston residents will be saddled with hundreds of millions of dollars in additional taxes to support future developments, but he wants more proof of the hard costs.

“Future life cycle costs are not well understood,” he said.

Councillors backed his Aug. 9 motion to undertake a landmark study that will explore life cycle and operational costs that arise from low-scale development. The $45,000 study, approved by a 9-3 vote, will attempt to nail down some of the long-term capital and operating costs.

It’s known that municipal services such as garbage collection, police and fire protection, snow plowing, road repaving, landscaping, street lighting, parks, recreation and libraries add to the taxpayer burden every time a new subdivision is created. But the question is, by how much?

Coun. McLaren’s intent is to use

a “fiscal lens” to better understand those costs and, perhaps, give policy makers another tool to promote smart development and reduce property taxes over time. “This motion is designed to move us to sustainable taxation.”

But trying to quantify future housing costs is not as simple as it sounds and it could be impossible to accurately gauge, say others.

“This is riddled with a host of assumptions,” noted chief administrator Gerard Hunt.

Trying to figure out life cycle costs that stem from residential development 50 or 100 years from now must include a number of longterm assumptions based on today’s known technologies versus what may evolve in the future. Still, staff indicated the study could prove useful in establishing high level policies to guide future growth.

Residential growth is already regulated by a raft of provincial and municipal policies that map out locations to build, preferred types of housing and other factors needed to support future developments.

Knowing the estimated life

cycle costs that’s today’s subdivision would have decades from now would give planners and politicians more insight into the long-term tax impacts.

Coun. McLaren says the City of Edmonton completed a similar study, which found that municipal costs will exceed revenues by $4 billion over the next few years to support housing projects, a difference that will have to be made up through higher taxes.

However, some worry that mapping out future tax impacts to support a new subdivision could be problematic and divisive.

As chair of the planning committee, Coun. Liz Schell says focusing a cost-benefit analysis on suburban development could provide ammunition for those who oppose such developments. “I don’t want to start pitting one type of development against each other.”

She says cities need a mix of housing and, even though hi-rises tend to place less strain on the tax base, some people just want to own a house. “You don’t create a city based on life cycle costs.”

City planners say municipalities can’t use economic deterrents to reject private housing applications.

However, the city does levy development charges to help offset the costs of new growth. For example, development charges can be used to help pay for new roads, fire trucks or police cruisers based on added pressure that will be placed on municipal infrastructure.

Critics of Coun. McLaren’s study say that’s a good enough tax recovery plan.

However, some argue that development charges and impost fees may provide short-term tax relief, but it does not account for long-term capital costs to sustain neighbourhoods when it comes to road and sewer repairs or the extra operating expenses when the city hires more staff to cover expanded garbage/recycling, snow plowing and policing routes.

Coun. Rob Hutchison, who supports the study, says it would be useful for Kingston to know the breakeven point so city officials know the true long-term costs for future developments. He calls it the “How many taxpayers per kilometre?” for-

mula.

Coun. McLaren says the study fits with Kingston’s already adopted goals to create a smart, sustainable city, adding the results will help optimize future development, promote densification and minimize taxation in a smart way.

“It’s not just about urban sprawl,” he said. “Even the most beneficial development can be made marginally better.”

Only councillors Ryan Boehme, Adam Candon and Kevin George voted against the study.

A consultant is expected to be hired in 2017 to complete the life cycle analysis.

News – A busy stretch of Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard will be made a little safer for pedestrians.

But some residents are urging councillors to put more traffic calming measures in place to safeguard children, seniors and other pedestrians.

Councillors approved a reduction in the boulevard’s speed limit from 60 to 50 km/h between Bath Road and King Street, which is expected to be in place by the end of this month.

The four-lane road is used by about 30,000 vehicles a day as a main route into and out of the downtown core via Brock, Johnson and King Streets.

“This is a great road if you’re in a car. It’s not great for everyone else,” observed Coun. Richard Allen.

Staff from the traffic department say the speed limit reduction is a short-term solution, but agree that

longer term options must be explored.

“The ultimate long-term solution to accommodate pedestrians on this arterial road is the installation of a traffic signal that would be activated by pedestrians,” said a report by engineering director Mark Van Buren.

Residents appeared before council Aug. 9 to press for more safeguards.

They outlined so-called hot spots where most pedestrians try and cross Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd. without the aid of signalled pedestrian crosswalks or traffic lights. These include the entrance to Norman Rogers Drive and a pathway behind Calvin Park library.

They want full traffic lights installed at Sir John and Norman Rogers Drive to help pedestrians cross the road safely.

“Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd. and Norman Rogers Drive is the perfect storm for a deadly crash,” warned resident Candice Christmas.

She told council that she will not let her son walk alone across the road when he starts Grade 8 at Calvin Park School next month.

But concerned residents were told the city doesn’t currently have money in its four-year infrastructure plan (2015-2019) to pay for traffic lights.

“There are no financial resources within the current multi-year infrastructure program for this work but there are plans to consider a traffic signal in this area within the next multi-year infrastructure program for 2019 to 2022,” Van Buren noted.

Bruce Bursey says that’s an unacceptable delay, and called on the city to fast-track funding for traffic lights. “We can’t wait until 2020.”

He and others also want the city to develop a comprehensive safety plan for the busy corridor, which is going to see even more car and pedestrian traffic this fall.

An estimated 200 students and staff from the now-closed QECVI

school will be attending LCVI in September, adding to safety concerns in the neighbourhood.

“This continues to be an area of pretty grave concern for the community,” agreed Coun. Jim Neill.

He views the lower speed limit as a first step to making the corridor safer. “I don’t think we’ve gone far enough to protect pedestrians in the area, particularly students.”

Councillors agree that motorists tend to drive up to 80 km/h on the roadway, even though the current limit is 60. They wonder if anyone will slow down when the limit is reduced to 50 unless there are more safety measures and police enforcement.

Coun. Peter Stroud says Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd. is so busy that it “approaches highway conditions” as residents try to walk across the road, a scenario that has existed for a long time. “It was, from the very beginning, an unsafe situation.”

Public Works says it plowed to public’s satisfaction last winter… but for one storm

By Bill Hutchins

News – In the midst of a dry and sweltering summer, the city’s public works department has released details of how well it did keeping streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice last winter.

Generally, the analysis found the 2016-2016 winter was lighter than the previous two winters with the exception

of one king-sized snow storm last February. The unrelenting storm dumped 50 to 60 centimetres of snow and blowing snow over a 32 hour period.

“This exceptional snowfall accumulation created service delivery issues for both streets and sidewalks, with clearing, cleanup, removal and sidewalk operations continuing for the next several days,” according to an

information report by public works director Damon Wells.

The two-day storm was so intense, and the recovery so long, that it was responsible for generating two-thirds of all calls to the customer service hotline for the entire winter season. “During the 2015-2016 winter season, there were 1,160 work order requests related to winter control. These included com-

plaints, compliments, service timeline inquiries, snow angel nominations and requests for service,” said Wells.

Of those calls, 719 led to work orders from the mid-February storm to do follow-up plowing, salting or snow removal.

In most cases, however, public works says it was able to meet public expectations for winter control during “average” snowfalls.

“With the exception of the one severe February event, Public Works was able to meet the Level of Service standards and public expectations,” said Wells.

In fact, the department says it met snow clearing standards for 23 of the 25 winter events that Kingston experienced. The two cases where service standards fell short involved clearing sidewalks. The service standards are defined in Kingston’s own winter control plan, which basically sets out response timelines and route plowing priorities (roads, sidewalks, bus stops) following a winter storm.

The Feb. 16-17 blizzard was one instance where city crews couldn’t keep up with plowing, snowbank removal and clearing catch basins. It took the

city five days to recover from the storm’s aftermath.

“These combined heavy snow accumulation loadings resulted in a severe reduction in sidewalk clearing productivity, with many sidewalks requiring both a sidewalk plow and a sidewalk blower, working in tandem,” Wells explained.

In the days following the snow dump, crews also fell behind with sidewalk clearing on other occasions through late February and early March.

The 25 winter events between November and April compares to 38 winter events the previous season, described as one of the worst winters in recent memory.

Public works says it will continue to look for ways to improve winter response times. But reinforcements are already expected to be in place for the coming winter season. During the 2016 budget talks, councillors approved hiring six additional full-time public works staff to help respond to winter storms; three in 2016 and three more in 2017.

The city will spend about $6.5 million on winter control this year, up from $6.2 million in 2015.

Queen’s hosts conference on combatting sexual violence on campuses

By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

While crime is down on campuses across Ontario generally speaking, there is one crime that is not: Sexual violence.

It’s a statistic that doesn’t sit well with anyone, but one that those at the Ontario Universities Taking Action Against Sexual Violence conference (OUTA) are using to further fuel the

fire in their fight to eradicate sexual violence and harassment.

The OUTA conference took place over two days from August 10 to 11 at Queen’s University. Hosted in the Biosciences Complex, the conference saw over 200 researchers, academics, government officials, student advocates, community service providers and front-line support workers come together, all with the common goal of addressing and

preventing sexual violence on campuses. Nearly all of the universities in Ontario were represented at the conference, said Bailey Gerrits, one of a five-member steering committee that organized OUTA. “I think the event in general went really well,” Gerrits said, noting that the turn out of 260 people was more than she’d even hoped for.

“We heard really great feedback from folks who walked away learning about a program or an approach to sexual violence prevention on university campuses, and being really excited about implementing that in their respective universities.”

Through a series of keynote speaks, presenters, panels and

roundtables, the conference focused on eliminating rape culture from university campuses by looking at successful programs, emerging research and building relationships with others working in the field.

The importance of this kind of conference was strongly underlined by the Honourable Tracy MacCharles, minister responsible for women’s issues for the Ontario government.

“Conferences like this bring different perspectives together, whether it’s the researcher perspective, the survivor perspective, the academic perspective, or the victim support perspective. It’s all very important, and it informs us, as a government, too, about where we need to go,” said MacCharles, who spoke on day two of OUTA. “[The Ontario government has] made a big investment – over $40 million over three years – but we need to know how that is going to date, how we can continue that investment, and then what else needs

to be done to create the kind of cultural change and attitudinal change that I think is really important to deal with the violence and harassment.”

MacCharles pointed to discussing the notion of consent during secondary school as a step in the right direction, explaining that education in this area has been introduced into the curriculum here in Ontario.

“We talked this morning about the importance of awareness building, public education campaigns early, even before university and college… younger women experience sexual violence at a higher rate than the general population,” she said.

“I appreciate that at conferences like this, it can be difficult, it can be heavy, and it can be very personal… but overall I think it’s a very motivating conference,” she continued.

“The conference is critical, and… the people involved in this conference are some of the most inspiring people in the sector.”

‘Severe’ drought severely detrimental for trees, wells tstafford@metroland.com

News - You needn’t look farther than your front lawn or favourite park to see the effects this summer has had on the region.

The grass has yellowed and dried, soil is cracking, and even the leaves on some trees have started to turn colours as

though it’s autumn. And it’s the latter that may not bounce back quite as resiliently when humidity and heat levels do return to normal levels.

“What’s happening with the trees and dropping their leaves, it’s kind of like a protection thing for them,” said Sean Watt, water resource engineer with the Cataraqui Region Water Response Team (CRWRT), which changed the status

of the region’s drought conditions from ‘moderate’ to ‘severe’ on Tuesday, Aug. 9.

Trees do this when they’re lacking water in order to conserve their own energy, Watt explained.

“It’s probable the trees are in a much worse condition than the grass is, where, given how long things have been dry and what’s happening to them right now, it’s possible we might have some trees that

Get Fresh!

die off through this dry period,” he said.

“Even if we did go back to regular rain [levels] right now, I’m not sure… I think some of the trees would still end up being hit pretty hard by this extended dry period.”

While Utilities Kingston had asked citizens to water trees on and near their property near the end of July, at this point, all citizens are being advised to

conserve water consumption wherever possible, specifically in outdoor water use. This includes not using water outdoors to water grass and trees, Watt explained, who suggested those who are inclined to might reuse grey water from doing dishes or taking baths to water their trees or plants.

‘Severe’ drought severely detrimental for trees, wells Continued from page 6

As for the once-plush and vibrant lawns throughout the area, Watt expressed most grass should survive the drought.

“Essentially what’s happening now is the same thing that happens every winter: [The grass] goes dormant and the ground freezes in the winter, and then when things thaw out and we get rain and warmth it comes back,” he said.

“I think really it will just be an extended dormant period.”

This severe drought is not entirely unlike those we’ve experienced in the area before, Watt said, pointing to 2001 as the most compara-

ble year to this one. Only 10 mm of rain fell across the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) on average over the past month, a whopping 60 mm less the average rainfall for the same period. Stream flows are nearing the lowest ever recorded, according to the CRCA, and some streams and ponds have dried up completely.

The Conservation Authority also advises that lake levels have been falling by as much as 2.5 cm per day, and can pose hazards to boaters and swimmers.

One of the biggest issues the drought is causing pertains to those using well-supplied water. Many wells are drying up, with some

running completely dry, and it’s a problem those on well water cannot easily fix, Watt explained.

“When it goes dry, it goes dry, so there’s not a whole lot you can do with your well at that point,” he said, advising those on well supply to conserve their water use as much as possible.

“If it really comes down to having to get water once the well goes dry, the best option is to bring in a holding tank or a cistern of some sort and have that hooked into your system through the house, so that you can have a water hauler come in and fill that up.”

Whether the drought will reach the point of being classified as an ‘emergency’ is up to the municipality, Watt said, adding that there are a number of municipalities in the region that have plans in place for those whose wells do dry up.

“Napanee has a system in right now where you can come down and, for a toonie, you can get a cubic meter of water. Loyalist [Township] is looking into doing something along those lines, too,” he said.

It will take a good amount of rain, and steady rain over a number

of days in order to see the drought’s effects reversed, Watt said, and even then, rain will need to come at levels more consistent with average norms over a period of time to have the situation improve. Until then, exercising extreme caution around any kind of flame is important, whether it’s a citronella candle on your deck, or a cigarette butt you want to put out.

“We’re advising all residents throughout the region to conserve water, and avoid using fire if at all possible,” said Watt.

EDITORIAL Off to babyland A few months ago, I read an article in the New York Post about a woman named Meghann Foye who was jealous of her coworkers’ maternity leaves. Despite not having a baby herself, she felt she was entitled to a similar “me-ternity” leave, which she describes as a “a sabbatical-like break that allows women and, to a lesser degree, men to shift their focus to the part of their lives that doesn’t revolve around their jobs.”

She views parenthood as “the only path that [provides] a modicum of flexibility” because “there’s something about saying ‘I need to go pick up my child’ as a reason to leave the office on time that has far more gravitas than, say, ‘My best friend just got ghosted by her OkCupid date and needs a margarita’ — but both sides are valid.”

Right. Because your need for a post-work margarita is exactly the same thing as a child’s need for a parent.

But that’s beside the point.

Eventually, Foye did take a “meternity”, of sorts; incidentally, she used it to write her first novel, also called Meternity, about a woman who fakes a pregnancy so she can take a maternity leave.

But all this soul-searching and dream chasing was no picnic, apparently.

“A ‘meternity’ done right should be challenging,” writes Foye. “It should be about digging into your whole life and emerging from it more confident in who you are.”

This article made me a little angry, but mostly it made me laugh out loud. As I sit writing these words on the eve of my second maternity leave, the idea of someone suggesting that a maternity leave has anything to do with “finding yourself” seems preposterous. I might call it insulting if it wasn’t also so hilarious – right up there with Donald Trump’s recent insistence that Barack Obama literally “founded ISIS”.

In many ways, my last maternity leave was the most challenging 10 months of my life. Caring for a baby 24/7 is hard work. It’s grinding. It’s boring. You’re perpetually exhausted.

When a baby is crying for you around the clock, there is zero time for selfreflection.

I have a feeling this mat leave won’t be quite as difficult for me. I’ve done this before, after all. I know it won’t be a blissful, nap-filled staycation.

Managing expectations is half the battle. The first time around, my naïve idea of what maternity leave was like looked a lot like Foye’s, which led to a shockingly rude awakening on top of everything else.

Yet, I recently found myself googling this article again because

In Our Opinion

I wonder if amidst all the annoying, indulgent hogwash there might be something I can take away from it.

Right now, I spend a lot of time working. Way too much time, probably. While Foye seems to believe having children begets balance in life, I’d say balance is next to impossible to achieve, perhaps especially for those of us with kids and definitely for those of us with a – let’s call it perfectionist – personality type.

I’m under no illusion that mat leave will provide me with an opportunity to focus on personal growth and learn what’s truly best for ME - but I am looking forward to focusing a lot more on my family and devoting myself to Summer and the new baby for six months.

I enjoy my job, and working in general, but it really is a privilege to be able to take a step back from it for an extended period of time and do something different. Perhaps I will emerge with a new perspective that’s better overall, not only for my family, but also my own mental health.

I’m confident that Mandy Marciniak and Tori Stafford will make a fantastic editor/reporter team in my absence, and I encourage you to contact either of them with story leads, etc.

In the meantime, I’ll still be around, writing the occasional column or story and helping out with things when needed. For the most part, though, it’ll be babyland for me until about midFebruary, so send me lots of happy baby vibes…

Sexism at the Olympics, do they know it’s 2016?

With the Rio Olympics well underway, there is a lot of media coverage going on and while most of it is positive, there has been quite a bit of negative and sexist coverage too.

These types of comments aren’t new to the Olympics, unfortunately, but this year we had hoped this wouldn’t be an issue because it is in fact 2016.

The issues started immediately as members of the media (primarily sports casters from NBC) chose to blame the number of commercials and a replay delay on female viewers. NBC’s John Miller commented that the commercials were there because “more women watch the games than men, and for women, they’re less interested in the result and more interested in the journey. It’s sort of the ultimate reality show and miniseries wrapped into one.”

These comments are offensive on a lot of levels, but they also don’t take into account that maybe there are more female viewers during the Olympics because women’s sports aren’t covered much in general. It is nice for female viewers to see female athletes compete, especially on a world stage, and they are likely excited to cheer them on.

The hits kept coming when the games began and when Corey CogdellUnrein took her second Olympics bronze in women’s trap shooting. Instead of giving her the attention she deserved, the Chicago Tribune tweeted about her success and they referred to her as ‘wife of Bears lineman Mitch Unrein’.

Because of course no one would have cared unless they knew about her husband.

We understand that this was likely done to give context in Chicago and get people more interested in the story, but it also downplays her success and works to attribute it to her husband as well. Unless he competed in the event, he should simply be a side note in the article about her accomplishment.

A similar incident occurred when Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú broke a world record and won a gold medal for the 400-meter individual medley. NBC announcers gave the credit to her husband Snahe Tusup, who is also her coach, saying “and there’s the person responsible for her performance.” Really? Did he get in the pool and race?

On top of these examples, several female athletes have been criticized for their apparel, makeup choices and they have even been referred to as ‘girls’ throughout the games. This is simply unacceptable.

Women struggle for equality with men on a day to day basis, but the Olympics are supposed to be inclusive and a time for athletes to shine on a world stage. We shouldn’t be taking that away from them or attributing their hard work to anyone but them. Wake up news media and give the credit where it is due.

Have something to say?

Hype for the Hip: Kingston in national spotlight for bittersweet concert from Kingston, where all five Hip members grew up and got their start.

“We want to be prepared for what could very well be an enormous crowd. But it’s also going to be an enormous showcase of Kingston that day, and so we want to make sure we put our best foot forward as a community,” the mayor explained.

Kingston has already proclaimed Aug. 20 as The Tragically Hip Day. The final concert will also attract coverage from other national media outlets, focused on Downie, Baker, Langlois, Fay and Sinclair and their hometown. Having met these talented artists at various times over the past 25 years, I can tell you they are charitable, humble and proud of their roots.

The celebration will, no doubt, be tinged with sadness over lead singer Gord Downie’s incurable brain cancer, along with optimism that his diagnosis is raising more money to find a cure down the road. But the band is determined to go out on a high note, and it just so happens their legacy concert will give Kingston tourism a welcome boost.

In fact, one of Kingston’s hottest selling souvenir items this summer is the homemade T-Shirt with the words: ‘They shot a movie once, in my hometown’ – lyrics from the Hip song, Blow at High Dough.

And, as the big concert and outdoor telecast approaches, everyone will be in it from miles around.

Comment – When Kingston Penitentiary reopened its looming gates to public tours this summer, it was widely seen as the hottest ticket in town and around the country.

But hold on a minute.

There’s another big ticket that promises to shine the national spotlight on Kingston.

The Saturday, Aug. 20 concert of hometown boys, The Tragically Hip, plans to be a memorable show both inside and outside the Rogers K-Rock Centre. The gathering is expected to attract thousands of locals and outof-towners to see what could be the band’s swan-song performance.

The 6,000 or so fans who were lucky enough to get show tickets will jam into the downtown arena on the street that’s named after the Hip. But many more fans than that are expected to cram into the downtown’s main public square, historic Market Square, just a few blocks down the street from the arena to see live streaming of the concert, courtesy of the CBC. The public broadcaster’s decision to televise the Hip’s greatest hour, starting at 8:30 p.m., created a golden opportunity for the City of Kingston to join the tribute by hosting the outdoor viewing party of the year at a cost to taxpayers of $150,000.

“Right now we’re looking at two jumbo screens. They’ll be placed in such a way that we can expand the capacity of Market Square,” said an enthusiastic Mayor Bryan Paterson.

Until now, such large crowd gatherings with national focus were usually reserved for the unsanctioned street parties during Homecoming weekend at Queen’s University. This time, though, it’s a free civic party that all are welcome to attend. Police will have an Aberdeen-style task with crowd control and public safety.

“Expect if you come down that day, if you have a bag it’s going to be searched. We want to make sure people are safe,” the mayor added.

Paterson is also urging spectators to take free public transit to the downtown, rather than face almost certain traffic gridlock.

Drought’s effect on street trees Jeff Scott THE COUNTRYSIDE VIEW What a terrible drought! It has been so dry for so long that I have forgotten what rain feels like. I checked the weather history for Kingston and we have had only 140 mm of rain this spring and summer, which is down considerably from the 325mm we received last year. The effect of this lack of rain is starting to show in the forests of the countryside. Leaves are turning brown, and the trees are prematurely dropping their acorns and seeds. With no rain in the forecast we are going to see a lot of dead and dying trees before this drought is over. Don’t expect much from the fall colours this year.

While the effect on the forest is quite bad, it is in fact far worse for the many street and park trees in the city. The City Works Department has been making a great effort to plant more trees to keep the city cooler and healthier, and to counter the increased summer heat brought on by global warming. We are now in a race to keep these young trees alive. The newly planted trees along John Counter Boulevard are already showing the drought effects and many of these trees have died.

Too get through this season, and future seasons, we are going to have to make some changes to what our boulevards look like. There are trees that are drought tolerant and there are trees that are not.

We should be planting more of the native trees that are used to shallow dry soils such as oaks, hickories and hackberries and avoid the birches and maples that like deep, moist soils. Much of Kingston

would have been an oak savannah before the trees were cut down for farming, and these trees are still the best choice for drought tolerance.

Our tree planting practices are going to have to change as well.

Nursery grown trees are highly fertilised and pruned so that they are thick and bushy to make them look good for sale. When these trees are planted, they have far more leaves and branches than the roots can handle. About a third of these branches need to be pruned off so that the root to branch balance is established. This has not been done on the City planted trees with the result being that the trees can’t get enough water to the leaves. These trees are dying.

Mulching around the base of the trees with bark chips is a great way to keep the soil around the roots cool and moist. The mulch needs to be raked into a bowl shape so that when the tree is watered it will pool and not run off to the ditch.

City Council has directed the Works Department to go out and water these trees, which is a great idea, but it will be expensive and time consuming. It will take a wa-

Young trees on streets in Kingston are affected by the drought. tering crew a week to water the 500 trees along Cataraqui Woods Drive alone at five minutes per tree. There are thousands of more park and street trees that need to be watered and it is already be too late for many of them.

There are slow flowing tree bags that can be place around the base of a tree called Treegators which help to slowly water trees but they are expensive and at $30 apiece, it would cost thousands of dollars to buy the number that are needed.

The Works Department has asked residents to wa-

ter street trees in front of their house, which is the most helpful thing that residents can do. The best way to do this is to take a five gallon pail and drill a small hole in the base. Fill the bucket with water and place it so that the slow stream of water will soak into the soil at the base of the tree.

Hopefully we will finally get some rain, and over time, we will have a city with majestic tree lined streets. In the meantime, we should all pitch in and help our young struggling trees.

Pokémon Go: the ends totally justify the means Column - “Hey, any of you Red?” said the teen on the skateboard as he rolled up to a group of us in Zwicks park in Belleville. “Yeah, we all are!” from the family of four about 10 feet from us. “We should all band together and go take that gym!” says the teen, an excited timbre to his voice.

In a day and age where we lament the lack of social interaction, especially in our youth, this was a breath of fresh air. Do I care what the motivation was? Why this random teen approached random strangers to enlist their help in an adventure? Nope. Not even a tiny bit. This wasn’t a recruiting pitch for anything malicious, it was a game he was playing and he willingly approached and invited strangers to play.

This is what we’ve seen since my wife and I started playing Pokémon Go: increased outdoor activity, increased social interactions and increased random conversations. No matter what is driving it, these things are good. Parks are fuller, people are getting out, and all the while they are interacting with each other over a common point of interest they didn’t have five short weeks ago.

And it’s not just the kids. I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle. Very much couch focused. This game gives me the excuse/motivation/reason to get out. My wife and I have walked most nights after my toddler is in bed. (We also have a teen that is great at watching him.) We dusted off our bikes because we can range further and explore more. We’re looking at bike racks for the car so we can get further, explore more and most importantly capture different Pokémon.

But, as with anything new, the naysayers are in abundance. They’re disparaging all of these great things because they come at the cost of carrying around an electronic device. I’m not sure if they’ve noticed but 68 per cent of Canadians have smartphones already. They’re already using them, all the time. In my mind this particular use fosters different behaviours; dare I say it, better behaviours?

They focus on the youth, saying that they’re

still motivated by video games, by fantasy worlds that don’t focus on reality. So what? If the choice is the stereotypical teen glued to the couch with controller in hand or the new version who is outside, walking, riding, moving and seeing new and different places? I know which side of that fence I’m landing on. Especially when it involves a random teen coming up to me and engaging in a conversation to enlist my help in something he is excited about.

29th Annual Kingston Sheep Dog Trials Competitors and their dogs watch Amanda Milliken, an eight time winner of the Kingston Sheep Dog Trials, and her dog Dorey work the sheep during the 29th annual Kingston Sheep Dog Trials Festival at Grass Creek Park, Aug 5-7. This year’s event was won

by Bev Lambert and her dog Nan. The weekend of doggone family fun featured some 185 dogs and their handlers from all over the globe competing in one of the largest festivals of its kind in North America. Thousands of spectators took in the three-day event which also featured many side attractions such as sheep shearing, Kingston Police K-9 demonstrations, the Ready, Set, Go flyball team, sheep-to-shawl competition, and a market place of vendors and artisans.

Sports – At the age of 17, Kingston native and then-KCVI student Jennifer Casson was more focused on running

than any other sport. But after a series of injuries and a suggestion from her coach, she decided to give rowing a try.

“He thought I would like it and sure enough, I came down and got in the boat and it was love,” she explained.

“It is a hard to pick up sport, but once you get it, you are just in love with it and you want to get better and better. It is a constantly developing sport.”

Now, at the age of 20, Casson is still rowing and later this month she will compete in the World Rowing Under 23 (U23) Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The event is something Casson has been training for since the age of 17 and she, along with partner Ellen Gleadow, will be competing in the lightweight division. The pair has only been training together for about 2 months and they came together through a matchup by Rowing Canada.

“We had never met and they just selected us to pair up,” explained Gleadow, who is originally from Vancouver.

“I was very excited. You work for a long time towards this goal and they could have told me to go anywhere and I would have.”

Casson was also excited about the match and over the past few months she has learned a lot from her new partner.

“She has been very patient with me and she has taught me a lot and it all worked out,” she said. “I think that they [Rowing Canada] saw our speed and they knew what we were like. They knew our skill levels and they thought that if they put us together we could be cohesive and sure enough it worked out.”

In preparation for the championships, the duo has been working with the Kingston Rowing Club and they’ve been training locally almost everyday.

They even took time to speak to younger rowers at the club on Aug. 8 before leaving for the championships.

“I am always happy to speak to other rowers,” said Casson. “I think that rowing is a sport that if you have the drive and you want to be successful and you want to put in the work you really can succeed and anyone who has an interest in it, I am happy to talk to and offer my advice and share my story.”

This competition will be a first for both Casson and Gleadow, but they are really hoping to just do their best and perform as well as they can.

“We love what we are seeing and what we are feeling out there on the water right now,” said Casson. “For us, it is not about beating other teams, it is just doing our best and being proud of that.”

Kingston author celebrates the life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier with new book

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – For years, Arthur Milnes has studied Sir John A Macdonald, but in all those years, he couldn’t help but notice the work of another famous Canadian politician too.

“In studying Macdonald, it is pretty hard not to become impressed with his major opponent, Wilfrid Laurier,” explained Milnes. “I did a collection of Macdonald’s speeches a couple of years ago and through his speeches I developed an intense interest in the political oratory of Laurier.”

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, also known as Canada’s seventh prime minister, sat across and in opposition to Macdonald for almost 20 years; according to Milnes, Laurier watched his opponent very closely during that time.

“Unlike Macdonald’s conservative colleagues, Laurier watched him carefully and learned from him. The two of them had excellent personal relations and they respected each other,” said Milnes. “As prime ministers, they very much complement each other; Macdonald plays the major role in founding Canada and Laurier cements it.”

To celebrate Laurier, Milnes decided to put together a collection of the prime minister’s speeches. In ‘Canada Always: The Defining Speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurier’, he looked at a number of speeches from throughout the politician’s career and even went as far back as his valedictory speech at McGill University.

“He surprised everyone when he delivered that one because he did it entirely in French,” explained Milnes.

“The speeches continue until his death in 1919 and I put in a few tribute speeches to Laurier’s memory after he died as well.”

Milnes also put a call out to modern day politicians for their input on Laurier’s speeches and he was sur-

prised with the response he received.

“Almost nobody said no and theses are really busy people,” he said.

“I took Laurier’s speeches, I edited them and then I would sit there and think about who could relate to that speech.”

In the end, Milnes ended up with input from seven past prime ministers, a supreme court justice, sitting premiers and a number of local dignitaries including Hugh Segal, Kingston native Thomas Cromwell, a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, Thomas Harrison of Queen’s Law School and Kingston-born scholar Dr. Christopher McCreery.

The book also closes with comments from former Prime Ministers

Jean Chretien and Stephen Harper.

“I thought it was important that the book close with the words of two prime ministers from different parties to demonstrate how important Laurier is to the story of Canada,” said Milnes. “Party politics don’t matter when it comes to Laurier. He and Macdonald were great prime ministers in terms of their leadership skills and their impacts on the country, regardless of their party.”

Milnes hopes that the book draws more attention to Laurier, especially with the former prime minister’s 175th birthday on the horizon in November.

“Prime Min-

ister Harper put forth that this year would be a national priority commemoration for Laurier and I knew that going in and that there would be a lot of interest,” said Milnes.

Milnes also hopes that the book will be an inspiration for young Canadians.

“My dream is that if one student in one school in every province gets this book and gets inspired to learn about Canada then I will feel that I have done my job well,” he said. “I was one of them and I remember reading Laurier’s speeches in an old book that

was in my high school library.”

Milnes still felt that passion when he was reading Laurier’s speeches for the book and he hopes that comes across.

“It was such a great process,” he said. “I would read his speeches and I’d get all charged up. You can really see why people were drawn to him and I am happy to share that with other Canadians.”

Milnes’ book will be available this fall and advance copies can be ordered by contacting Arthur.milnes@ sympatico.ca

Kingston’s first fresh and frozen yogurt bar aims to satisfy a more sophisticated crowd dessert places, they also serve breakfast.

“When I was coming up with a business idea I thought of Greek yogurt immediately and I just ran with that idea,” explained, Yaniv Lifshin, owner

of Parfait in downtown Kingston. “I thought about fresh and frozen yogurt and coffee and then it just grew and grew from there.”

News – There is a new dessert spot Parfait, located at 268 Princess in downtown Kingston, but unlike other Street, opened in early July and the yogurt bar is actually the first of its kind in North America, according to Lifshin.

fresh or frozen yogurt and then pile on their toppings, but Parfait doesn’t have the typical dessert bar toppings.

“We have a few sweet options, but it is a lot of fruit and nuts and healthier options and we also have a full supplement line with things like whey protein or chia seeds that can be added to the yogurt,” explained Lifshin. “The goal is to make it a post-workout meal or healthy snack on the go and then later in the day a dessert and coffee spot.”

Parfait is the first real business venture for Lifshin. The Ottawa native is just 20 years old, but he knew what he wanted when he created Parfait.

“I wanted a place to spend time and hang out in and maybe a place to get dessert that wasn’t so child oriented,” he said. “Everything else like this is exactly the same and it is designed to appeal to kids more than anything. I wanted to create something different.”

Lifshin also wanted a place that could attract customers year round and not just in the summer months.

He worked to incorporate coffee and espresso beverages for this reason and Parfait serves Mulatuli coffee, the

same brand as the Coffeeco locations in Kingston.

“I didn’t reinvent the wheel,” he said of his coffee choice. “I came to Kingston and tried some different coffees and it was the best so I wanted to work with them and luckily they were on board too.”

The decision to open in Kingston was also a conscious one for Lifshin.

He visited the city earlier this year in the hopes of finding a suitable location and he immediately fell in love with the city.

“There is an energy to Kingston that is really incredible,” he said. “People are downtown because they want to be and they are going in and out of the stores and that is so great to see. Even in February when I was here, people were out shopping and having a good time.”

So far, the feeling has been mutual and Lifshin is very impressed with the response Parfait has seen.

“We have been really lucky and people seem to really like the flavour of the yogurt and that is showing,” he said. “We have sold over 55,000 ounces of frozen yogurt. That is insane. Now we are shifting to the coffee aspect a bit more and we really want this to become a café that people can come sit at.”

Expansion is already on Lifshin’s mind and he sees Parfait as a business that could be easily franchised in other locations. But for now, he is just happy to be doing what he loves and seeing the response in Kingston.

“I have been incredibly happy with the response so far,” he said. “This is mine start to finish and I am not ashamed to say that.”

Cruise for a cause: Third annual Ride for Kids benefits Boys and Girls Club

tstafford@metroland.com

Events - If the idea of motorcycle clubs and enthusiasts coming together with children’s community groups doesn’t make sense to you, think again – or just come out and see for yourself what can happen when passionate bikers put the rubber on the road for local kids.

The third annual Ride for Kids in support of Boys and Girls Club of Kingston and Area (BGCK) takes place on Sunday, Aug. 21, and promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The event has grown steadily since its first year, co-founder Wayne Leeman explained, and over 300 motorcycles are expected to attend this year.

“It’s been totally unreal. The first year we had six weeks to have this up and running, by word of mouth only, and 65 motorcycles showed up and we raised $2,200,” said Leeman, who co-founded the event with Mike Corkey of the Northern Stars Motorcycle Association.

“We over tripled that last year.”

Leeman, who serves as a bus driver for the Robert Meek Youth Centre BGCK location, explained that the Ride for Kids team has expanded the event to make it more exciting and prosperous. This year will include vendors on site for the first time, as well as raffles, door prizes, 50/50 draws and a raffle-based auction.

Leeman credits community donations and the “amazing team” of orga-

nizers for ensuring the event has as few overhead costs as possible. For those at BGCK, it’s those efforts that make the event such a valuable fundraiser for their organization.

“It’s a very, very important event for us, and we are so fortunate to have this

relationship with such a great group of people,” says Deanna Davies, director of resource development and communications for BGCK. “We service over 4,700 children in Kingston and the area now, so every penny raised truly counts… The dedication that these volunteers have is just amazing.”

The event takes place at the BGCK West End Hub in the Frontenac Mall, with registration for the Ride beginning at 9 a.m. Participants can also pre-register from 5 to 7 p.m. at the West End Hub on Saturday, Aug. 20.

Leeman hopes to see any and all motorcycle enthusiasts come out for the scavenger-hunt-style “Mystery Ride” which will cover 123km. It’s an event

that shows the ‘softer side’ of bikers – something that may seem unusual, but is really more common than you might think.

“Riders will ride for any reason,” Leeman said with a laugh. “But when it’s for kids? Their hearts go into it, 100 per cent.”

It’s hard to believe it is August already

By Margaret Knott

News- Frontenac Islands August council meeting on Howe Island was a rather “all quiet on the home front” kind of affair, but not to say that it was without issue!

In fact, during the public portion of the meeting to deal with planning applications, led by Frontenac County Community Planner Reid Shepherd, one application that was approved caught everyone’s attention, members of council and the public.

Not for what the applicant has planned for the property, but for the demands placed on the property owner as a result of its loca-

tion. Requirements all related to the environment .

The owner of the Brown’s Bay property on Wolfe Island completed a required EIS (Environmental Impact Study) of the property adjacent to Provincially Significant Wetland to confirm its development will not have a negative effect on the wet lands. And subject to any comments from the Cataraqui Regional Conservation Area (CRCA) the proposal is consistent with Frontenac Islands Official Plan. Now the owner must enter into a registered development agreement with the township with no development until then. There is to be

no (over 4 inch) tree/shrub removal except to accommodate a building set back a minimum distance of 40m from the St. Lawrence River high water mark. Within the 30m of the setback closest to the water, no cutting or removal of vegetation or soil disturbance is permitted with the exception of 3m wide pathway. And, finally, there is to be no tree or shrub removal between l April 15- July 30 in compliance with

the Migratory Birds Convention Act. The applicant is responsible for the costs of the agreement, the municipality for its compliance. While there was no opposition to the agreement it was noted as being very restrictive and development prohibitive.

“Lots to think about when it comes to shore line and trees now,” a resident commented.

“Couldn’t do now what we’ve done in the past,” said another.

It’s hard to believe it is August already Continued from page 26

In his actions report, Public Works Manager Rob Dillabaugh noted among other things that the 2016 WI signage program is 98% complete, and ongoing at Howe; that road side grass cutting will continue till “till the snow flies,”; and that the Division St. construction will begin early August. Following the report, Deputy Mayor Natalie Nossal asked that a proposed feasibility study for Howe Island’s Spit Head Road be added to the list. She also spoke to the work that has been done with reference to the Rural Transportation Initiative. The Transportation project provides rides to appointments, for those unable to get there themselves.

Its expansion to Frontenac Islands is dependant on volunteer drivers. Her query was relative to subsidy availability or requirement to start a program and will be followed up by CAO Plumley.

On the basis of a “have you ever asked” question by MTO’s WI ferry and docking improvements EA, Project Manager Tina White, Council will submit a resolution to MTO asking that they take back ownership of Roads 7051, Road #96 through the village and # 95 to Horne’s Point (all downloaded to the township at amalgamation), on the basis that it is an international ferry link.

Council has been asking that the EA include the improvements to the roads used by ferry users particularly road 7051 and 95.

Further Howe Island Trail may be eligible for Federal Gas Tax Funding for certain trail improvements (gate, benches ,parking). **Too few public benches or public seating areas near/along the ferry lineup was noted by a resident, as well as accessibility issues confronting visitors forcing them to remain in cars in the village and on the ferry. Mayor Doyle then announced a closed meeting.

Bringing dog grooming to your door Jessica Tremblay gives dogs a glow.

She’s a professional groomer with a unique approach: doggies can visit her or she’ll bring the entire grooming studio to you. She’ll set up with a mobile grooming centre right at your own home. The customized trailer she

uses is entirely self-contained and selfsufficient with its own water supply and power generator. It’s even got its own heat and air conditioning and a containment system for the dirty water after the dog is groomed.

Dog grooming isn’t a luxury; it’s an important part of pet care. Done well by a professional, a grooming should make a dog feel like we humans feel during and after a massage.

Tremblay’s involvement with animals began when she started riding horses at the age of five. She still has her own horse, a white Arabian.

Tremblay graduated from the graphic design program at St. Lawrence College a few years ago and wanted to expand her skills. She’s an animal lover, and in addition to riding, she has dogs of her own and thought it might be rewarding to try her hand at dog grooming.

Rather than just jumping into as in it as an apprentice the way that most people do, Tremblay applied to the best full-time dog grooming training program she could find. That took her to Saskatchewan, where the training centre also had mobile units.

“I went out with the vans a couple of times and really liked it versus being inside a salon all day,” said Tremblay.

She is now a Certified Master Groomer. In addition, she is Pet First Aid Certifed.

After graduation, she connected with the company that makes the vans, trucks and trailers.

“I already had a truck, so decided on a trailer. There’s a company in the U.S. that converts vehicles into dog grooming salons.”

She now gets to use her visual design skills and creative eye in making dogs look beautiful.

People can drop off their dog or cat at Tremblay’s mobile studio, or, for a minimal extra cost Tremblay

will bring her trailer right to your home.

Your pet will get a full groom, which comprises a bath, brushing, drying, as well as a nail trim. She will groom for any kind of appearance you’d like. She will also clip to specific breed standards. She’ll work with any breed or mix.

Some dogs don’t enjoy grooming as much as others, so it’s helpful to have a groomer who understands the quirks of different breeds.

“For example, occasionally a Shih Tzu may have very sensitive skin, so it takes longer to work with them, because they don’t want to be touched.”

Dogs like Yorkies and poodles have hair that grows constantly. There’s no way they can remain healthy without proper grooming.

Bringing dog grooming to your door Many dogs don’t like having their nails cut. The worst case scenario is an owner who isn’t skilled at nail clipping cutting the quick, causing the dog significant pain, which will make all future nail clipping even more difficult. A skilled groomer knows how to cut a dog’s nails in the most efficient manner.

The mobile grooming centre offers many advantages.

“It’s great for bigger or older dogs with mobility issues,” said Tremblay. “They don’t have to get in and out of a car and then travel to a groomer. I can come to them and they just have to walk outside their own home and into the trailer. My table lowers and raises; it’s all electric and the dog gets on and then can just walk across the bridge into the tub.”

Her trailer is set up for any kind or size of dog. She also grooms cats.

“Cats are very different from dogs,” she said. “You don’t use restraint. You follow them around on the table. Most cats are pretty cooperative, but today I had one that got aggressive.”

Which explained the red scratch marks on her arms during our interview.

Tremblay offers a great and convenient service. Prices for different sizes and breeds are listed on her website. It’s an extra $22 to have the mobile grooming centre come to your door in Kingston.

“A big job takes about 3 hours,” she said. “Some specialized breed standards like those for a standard poodle can be time consuming.”

Before Tremblay will work with your pet, it must be current with all of its vaccinations.

“It’s also important to let the groomer know of any concerns. allergies and health issues the dogs might have.”

The mobile grooming centre benefits more than just your pet.

It can also be helpful for an owner with health issues.

“The mobile grooming centre is a really nice alternative,” said Tremblay. “It’s great for dogs with separation anxiety or for people who have busy schedules or those who don’t have a vehicle. It’s great for older people and older dogs. I have a very gentle approach with

older dogs, and I take a lot of time with them.”

She said that if you are taking a dog to her, you should plan for it to be with Tremblay for at least two hours.

“A standard poodle needs two to three hours, and with big dogs it’s more like three hours with me.”

There are many health benefits to regular grooming of your dog. I still hear people say that they never have their dog groomed because it

is unnatural and it wouldn’t happen in the wild. Big surprise: these are domestic animals, not wild animals.

They wouldn’t eat dried kibble or get vaccinations in the wild either.

Grooming on a regular basis helps to keep a dog’s skin and coat in top condition. Grooming helps to improve blood circulation. A professional groomer should spot any skin conditions before they get out of control. They’ll also check your dog’s paws to make sure there are

no cuts or punctures.

There are all sorts of conditions that grooming prevents. Grease build-up in a coat can clog pores and result in cysts. Clumped hair can lead to skin sores.

This does not just apply to long-haired dogs. One of my dogs (Teddy, the Jack Russell terrier in the photo that usually accompanies my column) gets horrible rash outbreaks on his skin. These have, at times, resulted in an infection requiring steroid and antibiotic treatment. One of the main ways to prevent this problems is a regular bath.

I’m in good shape, and Teddy’s a small dog, and it’s still quite hard on my back bending over the tub to give him his bath (Doesn’t everyone use their people tub to give their dog a bath?).

A frightening problem these days is Lyme disease. There’s a prolif-

eration of ticks in our area, and you might find them if you check your dog daily, especially if you spend any time in wooded or long grass areas like Lemoine’s Point. Make sure your dog gets the Lyme vaccine if you are doing any exploring outdoors. And, yes, there is a Lyme vaccine for dogs, which may sound like an absurdity considering that one hasn’t yet been developed for humans.

If it’s done right, most dogs actually enjoy a good grooming. To make sure it’s done properly, enlist the services of a professional groomer.

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, August 18, 2016 29

Letter writers bring potential pitfalls to the surface My inbox received a couple of letters this week that, while not representing common situations, revealed some pitfalls that are worth bringing up.

The first was from an unfortunate car owner whose vehicle was involved in a collision (fortunately with no injuries). The $10,000 plus repairs were completed by an insurance recommended bodyshop which involved the replacement of the windshield.

This installation developed a problem in the form of a water leak which caused damage to the fabric headliner of the vehicle among other things.

After three trips back to the bodyshop for rectification without success, the insurance company got involved again and handled the problem ef-

ficiently and another windshield was installed along with a replacement headliner at a different shop at no cost to the consumer.

The end result that really piqued this reader was that when he checked his vehicle’s car accident history through CarProof (a company that compiles such data for car retailers and consumers) he found two separate incidents related to this event and the total went from $10,700 to over $15K. When he added up the two repair invoices they didn’t even come close to matching this final figure.

His valid concern is that when it comes time to trade this vehicle in for a replacement, this report will drastically affect its value. He has been in touch with both his insurance company and Ontario’s Insurance Ombudsman to try to get things straightened out.

The moral here is to never take anything for granted when it comes to vehicle insurance repairs and history reports.

The second tale of wheeled woe came from a reader who diligently

Credit Card Bills? Other Debts?

Tax Struggles?

Never Enough Money To Go Around?

took their 14-year-old SUV into their service provider for a thorough presummer travel check-up and spent almost $2,000 for some needed maintenance and intake gasket engine repairs (this ride had almost 200K km on at the time).

A few weeks and several thousands of kilometers later, the vehicle broke down with an overheating problem at the other end of the province. A faulty temp sensor and thermostat was said to be the cause and $700 later our traveler was back on the road. But only a short time and distance later, the temp warning light came on the dash and another repair shop nearby took a much closer look at things and determined the cylinder head gaskets had failed and provided a $5,000 estimate to put things right.

When I was asked for advice, my first recommendation was not to spend any more money on this vehicle. Its average value (in reasonable running order) was less than half of this estimate. The main concern of our traveler was that they thought the temp sensor and thermostat was an incorrect diagnosis and they were trying to get their $700 back.

Cooling system problems can be

very tricky to figure out. There’s no advanced diagnostic tester you can hook up to magically tell the tech the answer. And when a shop is faced with a travelling client, they realize they’re under the gun to try to get things running right quickly so as to salvage someone’s vacation.

In muddy situations like this, it’s very hard to prove who was right and who was wrong and turning to the courts wouldn’t be much of a guarantee and I suspect few lawyers would suggest expending a lot of time and energy for a $700 repair invoice.

This vehicle owner relied upon the expertise of others and really did some due diligence in trying to ensure their road trip would be successful.

With the benefit of a 20/20 rear vision, depending on a 14-year-old SUV that arguably had one of the worse reliability records for its manufacturer, to make anything other than a quick trip to the corner store probably wasn’t the worst idea in the world, but it also wasn’t the best. They should have stopped before laying out the first $2K repair as it was in excess of 75 per cent of the wholesale value of the vehicle at the time.

General Motors seems to be the first out of the starting gate to take action to prevent child deaths caused by them being left in vehicles on hot days. Beginning with their 2017 Acadia SUV

they have introduced a simple software program that will warn drivers to check the rear seats before exiting the vehicle. This warning, displayed on the instrument cluster and accompanied by a chime sound is activated when the ignition is turned off any time either rear door is opened during a trip or within 10 minutes of start-up.

GM has committed to rolling this feature out in all of their models within the next few years as standard equipment.

Plum gelato great alternative to traditional ice cream

Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used.

Italian ice cream has less of both.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1-1/2 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6

Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth. Pour into container, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preparation instructions Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream,

milk and honey until honey is dissolved.

Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove 1/2 cup (125 mL) of warm mixture and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of metal spoon, about

8 minutes. Pour into heatproof bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight.

Gently whisk plum purée into custard.

Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions. Freeze in covered container.

For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving. Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to 3 weeks.

Wedding day shenanigans leave lasting memories The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas. Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far

away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth in the rumour.

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party, so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch.

The day finally arrived, and all

Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too!

A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal, I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid eyes on the lad before, and my first introduction to him was when he stuck his tongue out at me, and crossed his eyes right on the church steps!

My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were about to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and

gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way.

I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep. Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture. But soon you could hear the loud snores all over the church. The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over. It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had

plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over. The dress became my “going to church dress”, but the shoes would never touch my feet again. One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brown-laced boys shoes, which also came in the hand-me-down box from Regina. Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again, think the Depression was happening in some other country.
