A Hip-notic homecoming Continued from page 1

“I was actually able to attend the Hip show in Winnipeg on her birthday this year,” said Garvie. “I was able to see the courage that Gord just exudes from every ounce of him and we are beyond honoured to be here in Kingston.” Garvie wasn’t the only fan in Kingston

who had already seen Gord on this tour; longtime Hip fan Lindsey White was looking forward to her sixth show of the Man Machine Poem tour. She commented that she enjoyed all the other shows, but Kingston was really ‘the Holy Grail’ for her. “This is the show I was looking forward to,” she said. “The other shows were really just a warmup. I always come to Kingston when they tour so I couldn’t miss it.” White bought a single ticket to all of the shows on the tour, but she said that she lucked out with the show in Kingston and while she may have been sitting alone at the show, she

was able to meet up with some fellow Hip fans before it. “We are all a big part of the fan forums online for the Hip, but this is the first time we’ve all met in person,” she said of the three people she had gathered with. Margaret Sisler and her son, Matt, were two of those fans and they were happy to be sharing the experience with each other and so many others. “This is concert number three for me; I saw them when they first started and then again when my kids got a bit older and they Continued on page 10

concerts over the years, but nothing like we are going to share tonight. This is the first show we have been to together.” The show was also special for Milne and Garvie because they lost one of their sisters to cancer four years ago.

Town hall meeting seeks local input on reinstating prison farms, draws massive response By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – Members of the local community came out in force on the evening of Aug. 16 to participate in a town hall meeting on the feasibility of reinstating prison farms, an event the Save Our Prison Farms (SOPF) group called “pivotal.” “This is the opportunity to give our input directly to Correctional Services Canada (CSC) through their consultant, and the Minster of Public Safety is going to be here to see the dedication and the commitment that the people have for this issue,” said Dianne Dowling minutes before the meeting commenced. “Lots and lots of people filled in the online survey, but I think to put faces to the people that support this, I think that’s really powerful.” The town hall meeting saw local MP Mark Gerretsen and Minister of Public Safety, Ralph Goodale, attend Kingston City Hall in order to collect information and input from the local community. It was a long- awaited event for many, including those from SOPF who’ve kept a weekly vigil and a strong public presence since 2010, when the cows

were removed from Collins Bay Penitentiary. The town hall meeting was preceded by a rally hosted by SOPF outside of City Hall where over 100 gathered despite the rain, along with musicians Sarah Harmer and Chris Brown. This rally, SOPF said, was to show the “strength in the community’s stand” on reinstating the prison farms at both Collins Bay and Joyceville Penitentiary. Following the rally, the crowd filled Memorial Hall to capacity, with overflow attendees lining the hallway of City Hall. Attendees were assured by Goodale that he and the Liberal government would be listening with interest to the views expressed throughout the evening. “I’m a Saskatchewan farm boy, myself,” he expressed, noting that both MP Gerretsen and former MP Ted Hsu have made it “abundantly clear” what their views are on the prison farms issue, and that he knew how passionate those from Kingston and the Islands are about it. “I’m very glad to have the opportunity to be in Kingston tonight to have that conversation with all of you.” The views expressed throughout the two-hour

meeting were overwhelmingly in support of reinstating the prison farms, with only a handful of citizens opposing the idea of bringing livestock back to the farms. No one spoke directly against the idea of reinstating the farms. Many spoke with passion and conviction, pointing to the “invaluable” responsibility, empathy and employable work ethic that prison farms instil in those prisoners who work there. Long-time SOPF supporter and former Collins Bay Institution inmate and prison farm worker Pat Kincaid spoke candidly of his first hand experience and what he took away from working on the farm. “I’ve been in and out of prison for about 35 years, and a drug addict, junkie, whatever… alcoholic, thief… For the last four years of my stint, I worked at the barn at Collins Bay and the cows taught me so many skills,” he said, tearing up while he recalled his time tending to the cows and how it changed him. “They taught me patience, compassion, all of that. I took that with me when I got out this time. I’ve been out seven years… the cops can’t even believe it,” he continued. “This community has been safe from me for seven years… I’m wishing that other inmates could have the experience that I had.” Another long-time supporter of reinstating the prison farms, Sister Pauline Lally, spoke to an attentive room about her experiences and conversations with inmates from Pittsburg and Frontenac Institutions. “I’m one of those stubborn Sisters of Providence who have partnered with the committed farmers in the area,” she said prompting roaring applause from those in attendance. “The farm was very important to the inmates. What one learns working on a farm, one learns for life. The skills are immeasurably transferrable. Lally also spoke of the inmates’ experiences with the livestock on the farm. “Caring for livestock develops compassion and empathy so often lacking in male prisoners. It’s a form of therapy,” she said. “It’s all part of the rehabilitation process providing an opportunity for further personal growth, a good work ethic, punctuality, responsibility, self-worth and the relevance of being a member of a team.” The meeting, which was largely positive, barring those who were upset not everyone was able to speak who wanted to, was part of the larger pro-

Correctional Services of Canada announced in July they will perform a feasibility study on the subject, and hosted an online survey seeking input from the public, businesses and stakeholders. That survey found that four out of every five respondents feel that the land once used for the prison farm program should be maintained for agricultural use, Myles Frost, an independent agricultural consultant who served as chairman of the town hall meeting, disclosed. Additionally, local politicians addressed Gerretsen, Goodale and the CSC representatives at the meeting, many being quick to point out the views they were expressing were their own. For local MPP Sophie Kiwala, the opportunity to undo a past wrong by reinstating the prison farms is one she feels could set precedent, she explained, referring to the closure of the prison farms as “a dark time in our political past”. “We can set an example for the rest of the world, here,” Kiwala said.

City gears up for busy fall tree planting season year. “We have a budget for four years. At least for $900,000 a year. Hopefully we can do all the work we want to do within that budget. I think we’re on track to do that.” The budget also includes treating about 600 ash trees along streets and in the parks with a special bio-insecticide injection. Officials say the

cost is just too high to treat all 3,500 ash trees, which represent about 12 percent of Kingston’s urban tree canopy. The vast majority will be removed. Wells says the 1,000 trees planted this fall will be of a larger variety to help them survive the coming winter.

In Our Opinion

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m compelled to tell you more Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a hot summer, By Tori Stafford

Hypergraphia. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a term most are familiar with, and one I certainly hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard of before it was presented to me by a doctor as a possible diagnosis for the odd behaviour I displayed as a teen. What is it? Loosely, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defined as a behavioural condition marked by the compulsion to write. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associated with a form of temporal lobe epilepsy, which, in the end, I was not diagnosed with. But for a teenager who often went nights without sleeping while scribing on endlessly, and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d walk away from stimulating conversation to scribble down some ideas or poetry, it made sense at the time. Beyond that, I have at least four styles of handwriting that I fluctuate between â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an odd characteristic often associated with hypergraphic patients. So electing to become a journalist was a natural progression for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had a passion for sharing information, and a slight obsession with news from around the globe, so honing that into a craft, along with my â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;compulsion to write,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; meant studying journalism was exciting for me. What was

even more exciting, though, was graduating and getting out into the industry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that working in media is a difficult career, especially in a time where more and more people are turning to their screens before looking in their mailbox to get their daily news. I did my first internship here in Kingston, the city where I was born and raised, and I knew immediately that reporting in my hometown was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the dream job.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That said, the climate of the industry meant that I would see multiple layoffs, long bouts of freelancing to make ends meet, and taking on writing work that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider journalism. Through that, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve remained in Kingston, trying to make it work and carve out a niche for myself along the way. And I love it. Being a writer in Kingston combines all of the things I adore: the people of this community, sharing information, breaking news, and, my other love, arts and entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly live music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when the opportunity to discuss or cover it arises. When I found out there was an opening for a full time reporter at The Kingston Heritage and The Frontenac Gazette, I knew I had to

apply. The local branch of Metroland Media, these two papers are staples in this community, and their online presence at KingstonRegion. com has grown steadily over the last few years to become one of the leading sources of news locally. I know because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a news junkie, and I was reading it all long before the reporter position was up for grabs. And now, I am filled with that same excitement and energy journalism school instilled in me, as that reporter position is mine. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled to be, once again, connecting with Kingstonians on a daily basis to tell their stories, dig into the issues that concern them, and keep the community informed of local happenings. Over the coming months, I hope to deliver articles that make our readers say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what an interesting story.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Whether thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vehicle accident causing traffic woes, an exciting announcement of coming events, or another debate about the illusive third crossing, I want to be there, and I want to share those stories with you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just my job, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a compulsion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my passion.

but that may not be good Editorial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As Canadians, we are notorious for complaining when it is too hot, or too cold, too rainy or too snowy. But over the last couple of summers, the common complaint has been that it is not hot enough, or at least not consistently hot enough â&#x20AC;&#x201C; until this year. According to NASA, even after the fading of a strong El Nino, which spikes global temperatures on top of man-made climate change, July burst global temperature records. NASA calculated that July 2016 was 0.84 degrees Celsius (1.51 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the 1950-1980 global average. July was also the 10th record hot month in a row, according to NASA. While these temperatures have been enjoyable for some, they also point to some larger climate issues. Scientists blame mostly man-made climate change from the burning of fossil fuel, with an extra jump from the nowgone El Nino, for the changes in weather worldwide. The main concern is that if these man-made climate changes continue, areas of the earth could continue to see increases in temperature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the global mean [average] increases a certain amount, the temperatures in [certain regions] in summer will increase even more,â&#x20AC;? said Jos Lelieveld, an atmospheric researcher at the Max Planck institute for chemistry, who earlier this year published a report on how climate change would affect the Middle East and North Africa. He warned that some areas, like the Middle East, could even become uninhabitable due to high temperatures and severe drought could follow. Here in Kingston, we have been dealing with our own drought issues and even with recent rain, the situation is still listed as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;severeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority. This lack of rain could also affect the fall, especially in terms of the foliage on trees. So while the summer heat, may be enjoyable. It may come with some long-term consequences.

Marine Museum slips out of long-time home to new lakeside location

Comment – This week marks the end of an era for one of Kingston’s mainstay tourist attractions. The venerable Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston isn’t closing per se, but its public exhibition space is being scaled back and moved further away from the city’s tourism hub. Making the best of a bad situation. The non-profit, privately-run museum has been forced to relocate from the downtown heritage home it has occupied through a low-rent lease since 1975. The deadline to leave the former shipyards building at 55 Ontario Street, next to the historic dry dock, is Tuesday, August 23. The date is expected to pass quietly as the dry dock site empties of all activity, while awaiting some type of future redevelopment by the new private owner. Just a few months after the federal government sold the waterfront property to a Kingston developer earlier this year, the museum was handed a 120 day eviction notice after failed landlordtenant negotiations for a new lease arrangement. The marine museum clearly didn’t want to leave its prime waterfront location just a short walk from City Hall. Plan A, according to the museum’s website, was to find a path to stay in its current location

which, in the end, was not economically feasible. The museum says remaining would’ve cost “hundreds of thousands of dollars” a year in rent. Plan B, the scenario now unfolding, is to pack up the vast collection of artefacts and move further down the lake to the 1970’s-era Portsmouth Olympic Harbour building as part of a short-term, $1 annual lease arrangement with the City of Kingston. Councillors recently decided to throw the museum a lifeline while continuing with tax support for ongoing operations. It’s a three phase move that began several weeks ago; relocate some of the artefacts for public display, put thousands more artefacts into storage, and dispose of the decommissioned coast guard icebreaker, Alexander Henry. “The ship has been a landmark on the Kingston waterfront since 1985 and many thousands of visitors have toured the ship and taken photographs standing before her bow. However, with the loss of 55 Ontario Street, the Alexander Henry is a ship without a home port,” according to the museum’s web pages. For now, the 60-metre long ship has been moved to a port near Picton where it will spend the winter undergoing study that result in one of two stark outcomes; sink it as an artificial reef or scrap it. Either way, a sad ending to the museum’s biggest star attraction. The museum’s future itself remains on choppy water. Its board of directors and supporters must begin fundraising and scouting for a permanent home, one that will presumably have close ties to the waterfront and a high profile location. Those are hard to come by in Kingston, especially as the feds divest themselves of the few remaining open

waterfront sites and sell them to the highest bidders. But there may be one opportunity for the marine museum to secure its future. Why not move it into the redeveloped Kingston Penitentiary site? It’s another federal property that will soon be sold off, but with enough lobbying and support the museum could carve out its own corner of the historic lakeside pris-

on. This scenario may be wishful thinking to those with other plans for Kingston Pen, but it’s worth considering while public consultation over the fate of the prison and Portsmouth Harbour is currently underway. For now, the museum has found temporary shelter from the storm but it needs to start making some tough decisions about its future course.

A Hip-notic homecoming just when it seemed like it was over, they came back for more. “I could feel that almost,” said Downie of the energy when he came back for the first encore. “This is cool.” In the end, the Tragically Hip played three encores and it seemed that, like the fans, they just couldn’t get enough. Downie was emotional throughout, but that didn’t stop him from thanking the fans and the prime minister. “Thank you to our prime minister for coming to our show. It really means a lot to all of us, but mostly thank you everybody, thank you very, very much.” That message of thanks went the other way too and while the crowds were big, the fans were grateful and filled with gratitude for the band. “We are so proud of Gord and the band and everyone out here today and we are so happy to be here,” said fan Josh Kiatipis. “Our message to the Hip is to thank them for the great memories. They made our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau greeted fans in Market Square. Photo/Cris Viliela. Below: lives and we are gong to miss them so much.” Sisters Tammy Milne and Hayley Grevie travelled from Thunder Bay to see the show.

got really into the Hip,” she said. “I was a bit of a born again fan so this show really is bittersweet for me.” Over the course of the day, fans filled a tribute wall for the Hip near Market Square with messages of thanks, encouragement and stories of their experiences. Just before the concert started, the wall also received a visit from a very special fan: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made his way through the crowd and wrote a message of thanks for the band members commenting that ‘the whole country is here in Kingston tonight’. As the show began, it really did feel like all of Canada was in Kingston. Gord and the boys came on stage and the crowd went wild in the K-Rock Centre and in Market Square and they continued to do so for nearly three hours as the hometown band put on an unforgettable show. The Hip kicked off the show with 50 Mission Cap and then continued into hits like Courage, Wheat Kings, Poets, Music at Work and so many more. And

The Third Crossing tragedy! Re: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Public asked whether Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3rd bridge crossing should be builtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aug. 09/16 With all due respect to the Kingston Mayor, under his leadership the City appears to be avoiding a real and frank discussion on the questions of: Is the Third Crossing really needed? Is the Third Crossing a real Kingston priority? Does the Third Crossing achieve the result that the proponents are wishing for? Can we afford such an expensive project? Available city documents on linear witness to the fact that above questions have never been asked. Furthermore, the public has never had the opportunity to hear the proponents and opponents points of view in a debate or a panel of expertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; discussions about the above fundamental questions. It appears that only between 2009 and 2013 has the public been given the â&#x20AC;&#x153;opportunityâ&#x20AC;? to hear five information sessions (including public feedback on three design concepts) which is not a frank and real two-way discussion on the need of the bridge. Unfortunately, the city has double standards when it comes to engaging the public in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision-making. The Official Plan review is a remarkable example. The review has so far gone through four drafts, each of them with at least one open house and one or more public meetings. On the other hand, the third crossing, which is the most expensive project ever proposed in Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, will have only two open houses that are just information sessions about the different phases of the shovel-ready process. To date, the numerous questions asked of the Engineering Depart-

mentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third crossing team have had no response. The city survey on the web is also appealing to the public asking technical questions for the design of the bridge, avoiding the question of whether it is needed or not. Even the process of shovel-ready is a total tragedy. Before building a house, people evaluate their options. Will they be temporary (e.g.: military personnel, students) or permanent residents; will they really need a house or not; can they afford it or not; do banks approve the loan or not? Once all questions have been fully clarified, then a designer or contractor is hired to build the house. Instead, the third crossing shovel-ready process has started from the wrong end. This process has forced councillors to vote to spend millions of taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money on consultants and a bridge design at the end of which they will be provided with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cost-benefit analysisâ&#x20AC;? which will supposedly be â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpfulâ&#x20AC;? in discussing the pros and cons of the project. A process that does not make sense at all. The saddest part of this tragedy is that next spring council will be asked to write a blank cheque for a mega project that nobody knows who will fund. Will the Federal or Provincial governments pay two thirds of the cost? What will be the burden on each councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constituents? Who will pick up the real budget over-runs? And the enormous annual maintenance costs for the next 95 years? This â&#x20AC;&#x153;cost-benefit analysisâ&#x20AC;? report is compatible with the approach of the open house agenda, apparently just designed to sell the bridge to the councillors:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;City engineers also intend to present a cost-benefit analysis to council outlining the benefits of a third crossing such as reduced travel time for commuters, lower gas emissions, faster transit connections, and serving as a new Highway 401 emergency detour route to avoid clogging the downtown core.â&#x20AC;? (Kingston Region Aug. 09/16) Does the cost-benefit analysis report also intend to answer questions including the following: What is the weight of developers and others interest groups in the decision-making process with regard to the commitment of the third crossing? The third crossing will stimulate a need to open up the urban boundary leading to subdivisions sprawl. Does the above study evaluate the environmental impact of the urban sprawl in the east side of river? The city studies indicate that during the evening rush hours car trips between two parts of the city will increase by 22% (127,050 extra car trips a year) if the bridge is built. Will the cost-benefit analysis evaluate the impact of this increase on the environment and

climate change? Will the report answer why the bridge wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the traffic conditions of the Causeway to meet with the Official Plan and Transportation Plan standards? Will this report discuss the diversion away from the downtown core, channelling traffic to the Kingston and Cataraqui Centers? Is this a good move for the economy and survival of the downtown core? Will it address so many other unanswered questions piling up for the third crossing team on the city website? The third crossing is a want, not a need. Kingstoniansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; real needs are being neglected. Addressing

affordable housing needs, rehabilitation of existing roads, greenhouse gas emissions reduction and providing an efficient transit are all responsible ways of spending taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put our grandchildren first and leave them with a liveable world. Mahmood Rowghani Graduate architect and urban planner

2016 1000 Islands Poker Run The 2016 1000 Islands Poker Run took place from Confederation Basin in Kingston on Saturday, August 20. The boats head to Brockville collecting poker cards at stops along the way and then return to Kingston where the winner is decided based on the best poker hand. While the boats are extremely fast the event is a card game not a race. Approximately 100 boats took place in this years’s event. Photo John Harman

So…It’s time to think about Accessibility By Margaret Knott

With Wolfe Islands Division Street extension now under way, along with the Marysville sidewalk, and the proposed accessible washroom and ramp upgrade changes slated to start very soon at the Wolfe Island Community Hall, it seems an appropriate time for a look at what accessible means to all of us. When I was invited to serve as a member of Frontenac County’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, representing Frontenac Islands, I wondered why, although I do use a cane and have some health issues. I said yes, knowing full well I had a lot to learn about the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), enacted by the Ontario Government in 2005. The Act’s goal is a fully accessible province by 2025. My first thought was as to who are the disabled. The AODA uses

the Ontario Human Rights Code definition of “disability”, that is “any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or disfigurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness. It includes diabetes, mellitus, epilepsy, a brain injury, any degree of paralysis, amputation, lack of physical co-ordination, blindness or visual impediment, deafness or hearing impediment, muteness or speech impediment, or physical reliance on a guide dog or other animal, or on a wheelchair or other remedial appliance or device. Also impairment or a developmental disability, a learning disability, or a dysfunction in understanding, or using symbols or spoken language, a mental disorder, or a benefits claimed/received for injury/disability under the insurance plan established under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act of 1997. The Act’s mandatory province

wide accessibility standards fall within five areas. They are customer service, employment, information/ communication, transportation, and design of public spaces. All of these 5 areas have different completion timelines between the time since the passage of the act, 2005 and 2025. In Kingston we can see changes happening. More sidewalk cuts to accommodate wheel chairs, hand pushed walkers, bikes and strollers and pedestrians. More benches to stop and rest, for anyone who gets tired. How about the new entry/exit door at Hotel Dieu Hospital, the ‘Stop Gap’ ramps here and there to get in and out of older shops for those having trouble stepping up and over and for strollers, etc. New buildings have wider door widths, automatic door openings, lower door opening buttons that we all take for granted now. Some stores have lower counter levels, wider store aisles and

POOL CLOSING SEMINAR

even places to stop and sit. Some businesses & banks accommodate customers with counter heights, for those standing or sitting. Information and communicating is done in a variety of ways and in a variety of situations. In Toronto new buses and new subway steps touch the ground, no step up, its step-in with railings. It is interesting to note that every improvement in any of the five areas seems to not only improve accessibility for those who are by definition disabled, but everyone else, young and old alike. Amazing really. And where that is not happening, it can be very disconcerting. But getting back to Wolfe Island, there are snags to the business of being barrier free. One is cost. But that applies everywhere. Another is that the design standards for public buildings applies to new construction only and/or very significant changes to an existing facility. Can the door at the WI Town Hall be a wider and a more accessible one ? The ramp resurfaced to meet it? A trip hazard at the Community Hall door? The WI Medical Clinic, Sacred Heart Church, UC Hall are accessible. There is no doubt the Marysville sidewalk replacement will make life easier for islanders

and visitors alike, and the improvements at the WI’s Community Hall on Main Street, a wonderful addition as well. But there is more to do. Perhaps it is time for business owners to see what they can do about making their facilities easier to access and barrier free. Will Frontenac Islands ever be barrier free? Will Wolfe Island be accessible by AODA standards? I don’t know. But I did saw a headline that read: ”There are (only) 8 years, till a fully Accessible Ontario! “ Around Town: Thanks and good luck wishes go to MTO’s Summer Students who graciously dealt with the ferry traffic on WI & Kingston: Dan Bezaire-Arevalo, Jenna Hulton, Mike Makula, Maddy Gorman & Kristina Walker.

Clippers vs Woodbridge Strikers The fifth place Kingston Clippers took on the visiting first place Woodbridge Strikers in Women’s Ontario League One soccer at Queen’s University’s Tindall Field in Kingston on Sunday, August 14. The Clippers had ten players called up to replace regulars who had returned to their University teams. Scoreless at the half, Kingston took a 1-0 lead early in the second. Late in the game however, the speed and experience of the Strikers proved too much for the Clippers and Woodbridge continued on to a 6-1 victory. Photo / John Harman

The healing power of pets Animals are a link to our primitive roots. They link us to the past while grounding us in the present. There are many beneﬁts to pet ownership. Pets allow us to feel understood and loved unconditionally. They catalyse a sense of closeness to the natural world.

There is abundant research with regard to positive benefits of pet ownership. Dogs exercise a calming influence in stressful situations. It has been found that pulse rate and blood pressure in dogs and horses both show a significant decrease as these animals are stroked by humans. It’s a win-win reciprocal relationship. The effect is similar on humans. A person’s blood pressure drops when they touch their pet. But this does not mean that if you have high blood pressure, you should automatically run out and buy a dog. First, you have to like dogs and understand that the work involved in training the creature can be stressful in itself, especially if you’ve never owned a dog.

QUINTE CANVAS MANUFACTURING

Puppies are cute. They’re designed that way. The cuteness helps inspire us to care for them. One problem: they’re a ton of work. Housetraining alone can drain (no pun intended) even the most patient human. That’s one good reason to adopt an adult dog that is already housetrained. Animals have been used in therapy and rehabilitation for many years. Such uses include

dogs for the blind and deaf and horse-back riding for the disabled. More recently, dogs have been used to assist those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, or autism. Animals have a diverse working track record. Continued on page 7

The healing power of pets Continued from page 6

One of the most important aspects of pet ownership is the loving touch that is part of a nurturing relationship with a domestic animal. Animals allow safe, non-exploitive touch. Pets have positive potential to help humans heal emotionally and physically. They are close to essential when we are mourning, alone or isolated. The elderly, disabled and children all benefit from having a pet. As Dr. Leo Bustad, co-founder of the Delta Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and application of the human/animal bond, has found, when we care for others we feel as if we are cared for. The pet gives the bereaved or wounded person a reason for going on. Dogs can be held, they respond to love and affection, and they show appreciation for the relationship you have with them. I awake each morning with kisses (yup, wet ones) from any of the three canines sleeping nearby. I’m one of those people who believe that dogs do smile. It’s quite rewarding to be involved in an activity with your canine companion and realize there’s a great big smile on its face, enjoying each moment as much as you are. Finally, dogs are highly trainable, and, at their finest, assist as service dogs, allowing humans to lead more active and rewarding lives. There are those who prefer cats. Although felines do not have the intelligence required for the level of trainability potential found in dogs, they still offer companionship.

As for cats, well cats are cats. This is the ultimate existential animal with an I’m too cool for school attitude. “I purr, therefore I am. I am here, therefore I am worthy.” There’s been no Broadway play focussed entirely on dogs. On the other hand, there is the musical called Cats. Dogs just aren’t slinky enough to inspire Broadway choreographers, although many dogs have appeared on stage. Think Annie, The Crucible, or The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night-Time (even if that one— spoiler alert—involves a dead dog). There’s nothing like a purring cat on your lap to make you feel loved. Again, the caveat here is “unless you don’t like cats.” If you are getting a cat or dog for companionship, remember that the animal needs companionship too. If you are away for many hours a day and are not there to provide company for the creature you hope will keep you company, it’s better to get a fish or a canary. Dogs, cats and horses aren’t the only beneficial animal companions. There are many great creatures to keep you company. Guinea pigs are far more social beings than many people realize. They are great pets, provided you have time to spend with them and care for them. Canaries offer beautiful songs (this applies to male canaries). Fish can be mesmerizing and relaxing. Rats can be quite social. As for physical health, in his book Man and Dog: Psychology of a Relationship, Reinhold Bergler explores the vast research on canine and other animal companionship. It has been found that both angina and heart attack patients have a

James Keirstead: a Canadian treasure Iconic Canadian artist James Keirstead continues to paint more than ﬁfty years after he jumped full-time into the world of art. Today, he’s a master, yet doesn’t act like one. James Keirstead likes a good story. He’ll be 84 this Christmas and offers a funny tale of how he recently went through an Ontario driver’s license renewal.

In Ontario, once you turn 80, you have to renew your driver’s license every two years. Among other requirements, the process involves a 45-minute interactive group education session about new trafﬁc laws, how aging affects driving and tips for older drivers. There’s also an in-class screening exercise. “One of the requirements was to draw a clock with the time of ten to eleven,” he says. “There’s a clock on the wall, but they take it down when you have to do the exercise. But it’s been there for half an hour. I decided to show off. I drew a perfect circle with the hands where they should be. Where the make of the clock was I put my Keirstead signature.” The internationally renowned painter has a charming sense of humor.

Keirstead was born in St. John, New Brunswick. When he was about two years old, the family moved to Montreal and then Toronto. Eventually His father bought a general store in Sharbot Lake. Keirstead knew he wanted to be an artist from the time he was six years old. Sadly, none of Keirstead’s early works survive. In 1949, when living in Sharbot Lake, a ﬁre destroyed the family’s home and general store business. Inside the home were all of his sketches. “For years all I had was those little water colours with a stump of a brush,” he says. “I had paintings all through the house. I was so surprised when my art started selling. I remember selling them framed for 60 dollars on Johnson Street in 1958 and 1959.” He’d hang his work on a fence at Johnson and Alfred Streets. His humor comes out again.

“Lots of people say I’ve known you since you were on the fence.” James Keirstead served with the Canadian Forces in Korea and returned home in 1953. He worked in a canning factory in Bath. When the company closed, Keirstead wasn’t sure what would come next. A brother-in-law served in the Ontario Provincial Police. “I had never had a thought about becoming a policeman, but their main job is helping people, and that’s something I like to do.” He applied and was accepted on the force and served for eleven years in the Kingston Detachment. While serving as a police ofﬁcer, he became increasingly serious about his art. He was driven to create art. He’d paint all day and then work his OPP night shift. In 1962, Keirstead’s painting methods took a turn. Continued on page 9

James Keirstead: a Canadian treasure “I switched to painting with knives instead of brushes,” he says. “Once I tried it, it was just the right style for me.” Sales, and prices, of his paintings started to rise quickly. He never looked back. “Once I started with knives, I couldn’t keep up with the demand.” In 1965, he decided to make the leap from police officer to full-time artist, quite a risk for someone with the stability of a job serving as an officer with the Ontario Provincial Police. But danger was part of the life of a police officer, so what was one more risk? In his first year as a full-time artist his salary tripled from what it had been as a police officer. Today a Keirstead original commands thousands of dollars. Keirstead lives with his wife Robere in a dream world, 20 minutes from downtown Kingston, with 1700 feet of shoreline, a view across a big bay along the Rideau and all the wildlife in the world you’d want to see. They moved to the property in 1972. A Kingfisher nests on the land. Two dogs, Bogey and Marshall, are an important part of the Keirstead home. James Keirstead says the greatest leap in his art came after he read Carlson’s Guide to Landscape Painting. “It’s the best theory book I’ve ever seen,” he says. “I went to an art class at Haliburton with Oscar Schlienger. He said to me, ‘Jimmie, you have such talent, but you have a lot to learn.’ He said I should read Carlson’s Guide, and he showed me his book.

From the day I read that book my painting improved vastly. Since 1962, I’ve had a certain boldness with the knife.” As we chat, he gets up and looks for the Carlson book. He hands me his copy. His own notes fill the page borders. He’s underlined or highlighted many sentences and paragraphs in the book. On one page he’s written “Prussian blue is too powerful.” Another section has “Too much detail” written along the margin. He’s drawn a border around the phrase, “Less opaque / airy titanium or zinc white.” He’s made a note of “Analyze what attracted your eye.” The book is a classic with sections on the mechanics of painting, design, light, aerial perspective, linear perspective, the emotional value of color in painting, how to understand trees, clouds and how they float. There’s even a section on the extraordinary and bizarre. The renowned painter suggests that it’s never a good time to retire and he has no intention of ever doing so. “The best thing in the world you can do is if you’ve found something you love, you should never stop,” he says. “I’m absolutely lucky because I actually love to paint. I like to paint, and I like results, so I keep trying to make better paintings. So far, year after year, people come and think I’ll be falling apart and say, ‘My God, you still have it Jim.’ From what I see, all the people I know who are the happiest have something to do other than golf and drink beer. My advice to you, Mark, is keep that camera going and enjoy all the stuff you do. Most of us can do more than we think longer than we think we can.” James Keirstead says he’s had a few favorite art-

ists over the years. “I love van Gogh because he was a little nuts, and I love the strange strokes and colors he worked with. There was great charm in them. There are some local painters who are really very appealing. I like if they show daring. I really dislike paintings that look like photographs. If it’s going to look like a photograph, stick with the photographer. Help the photographer’s career.” James Keirstead has advice for today’s aspiring artists, trying to make a living in the current difficult market. “The peak of the art market was 1986,” he says. “The whole world changed with the 2008 recession.

Not many people have money to spend these days. I feel for the artists who are just coming up now. Everybody is having a struggle. My advice today is do everything the same way I did when I started. Show your work every chance you get. Make sure you’re prepared when you reach the stage when you can sell in galleries. Get double the price you want, because dealers take 50 percent, and you need the dealer to spread your name.” And remember his best advice: never retire if you are doing something you love.

Local company seeks nominees for Christmas gift like no other By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Many associate chimneys with Christmas, given that they offer an entrance to homes for the big man in red, but Jeff and Julianne Nixon are hoping to put a new spin on that association. For the past few years, giving to those in need has been a Christmas tradition for the Nixon family: Last year, the couple donated toys and movie passes to a single father who lost his job and was unable to buy his children presents, and the year before they gave a family with a disabled son a flat screen TV for the sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom. This year, however, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to help a family in need with a

Napanee facility offers organic medicinal marijuana that’s ‘life changing’ for six-year-old son, mother says tstafford@metroland.com

News – Touring the ABcann Medicinals marijuana facility in Napanee, guests wear full body coverage and undergo sanitizing through ozone and air showers, swiping in and out of each room with an electronic key card – A lot like entering some sort of topsecret laboratory. But for six-year-old Gage and his mother, Kelly, nothing about this facility should be top-secret. In fact, Kelly hopes that in telling her son’s story, more people will see the value of medicinal marijuana and break down the stigma surrounding it. “We’re trying to change the way people see it… to have it more accepted,” said Kelly, whose last name is being withheld to protect the privacy of her son. “For people who have loved one’s that are sick, [I want them to] not be hesitant about trying cannabis. I want it to be available as everything else is available, every other medication. I want it to be an option.” And for good reason. Kelly has witnessed the positive effects of cannabis first hand, and she has also dealt with the stigma that surrounds its use as a medicine. Her son, Gage, suffers from a neurological disorder called lissencephaly, as well as a rare form of epilepsy and cerebral palsy. By the time he was four years old, he was having hundreds of seizures on a daily basis. He and his

parents visited many doctors, tried numerous medications, surgeries and treatments, and Gage was still suffering, Kelly expressed. That’s when she found some information on medical marijuana use and started to look into it. “I saw documentation on a parent giving their child cannabis. I thought ‘Oh my gosh, who gives their kid pot!’” Kelly said, candidly, noting that, despite what many people may assume, Gage does not smoke marijuana – Kelly extracts the medicinal from pure buds into coconut oil, which is given to Gage via a feeding tube. “And then I thought. ‘Well, why not? Well what do you have to lose?’ If someone tells you that your child is going to die from epilepsy, you’re going to try anything. You would sell everything you own just to get your child help.” After struggling to find a doctor who would prescribe cannabis for Gage, who was four years old at the time, Kelly was able to order the marijuana, prescription in hand. Although it took a few days for the effects to show, the positive impact it’s had on Gage and his quality of life are undeniable. “He had literally hundreds of seizures. Daily. He had breathing problems, and gagging all the time… We were told that he could pass away from the seizures because it’s debilitating. He’s already delayed, so having the seizures just regressed him even more. If he’d learn anything, he’d lose it,” she explained, the pain of

the memories obvious on her face. “But now, just look at him!” Gage sat on the floor in an office at ABcann on Monday, Aug. 15 as Kelly addressed the media as part of the facility’s media tours. He was rolling balls across the floor to play with those around him, and playing with interactive apps on an iPad. “He’s alert. He’s engaged, and he’s social. He’s doing things he’s not supposed to be doing. He’s going to school, he’s going into grade one… it’s just amazing.”

Rocking for a cause: SFCSC staff member aims to raise funds for adult programs By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

Events – As recreation coordinator for the adult day programs at South Frontenac Community Services Corporation (SFCSC), Browen Weeks witnesses first hand the effect the program can have on participants on a daily basis. “We are a very recreational based group,” explained Weeks. “We provide programs that allow people to socialize and be themselves with supervision from a Personal Support Worker and myself and in some cases, these programs keep people out of longterm care facilities and even the hospital.” According to Weeks, the adult day program aims to provide a safe and caring environment for up to 12 seniors a day who may be living with cognitive and/or mobility impairments or who may be living

in social isolation. The cost for the program is $20 a day plus transportation, but SFCSC works to provide subsidies for those who can’t afford the program through donations and fundraising. Weeks himself will be participating in a unique fundraiser for the programs on Aug. 31 and he hopes that the event will also raise awareness about the programming at SFCSC. “I will be sitting in a rocking chair at the Grace Centre for 12 hours to raise funds for the programming,” he explained. “A member of our staff saw the idea somewhere else and we thought it would be fun to take on here.” Weeks, who will be rocking for a total of 720 minutes that day, hopes to raise a dollar a minute, but he also hopes to show that sitting for 12 hours a day is something that many seniors deal with. “I will take bathroom breaks, but that’ll be it and that is really the

idea behind it too,” he said. “For people who don’t have access to these services, they may be sitting at home for 12 hours a day. They may not even be able to access the bathroom on their own and it may pose a fall risk for them. These programs give them a place to go to participate in activities and enjoy themselves.” The adult day programs run Monday to Friday at the Grace Centre in Sydenham and Weeks works to make each day a mix of recreation, socializing and fun. Usually the days start off with coffee and reading the newspaper and afternoons include movie w a t c h i n g , crafts, physical activities and socializing. “It is really

great for all the participants and for me too,” he said. “I am a people person and I love working with people and to help somebody who genuinely appreciates what you do is really enjoyable.” On the day of the fundraiser, there will be a box set up for donations and some of the participants in the adult day program will join Weeks as he rocks. He also hopes to talk to community members about the programming at SFCSC and make them aware of what is offered. “This is their community and

these adults could be their parents or other loved ones and we want to make ourselves known in the community and what we do,” he said. “The more people see what happens here, the more likely they are to actually use these valuable services.” Weeks will be ‘rocking’ at the Grace Centre in Sydenham, 4295 Stage Coach Road, on Wednesday, Aug. 31 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A donation page has also been set up through the SFCSC website at www.sfcsc.ca/rockingforacause

HARS staff implores community to ‘Help Give John a Lift’ By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

News – When someone dedicates their life to helping and supporting others, it can be hard for them to accept help in their own times of need – but that certainly doesn’t negate them as a worthy recipient of support. That’s precisely why the staff team at HIV/ AIDS Regional Services (HARS) decided to start a GoFundMe campaign in support of their executive director, John MacTavish, and his family. For 25 years, MacTavish has served as the executive director of HARS, supporting individuals and organizations throughout Kingston and the area with health education and services. Beyond that, MacTavish works with a number of community and provincial organizations, from serving as chair of the Board of Directors for the Leeds and Grenville Interval House, to working with the Ontario HIV Treatment Network in Toronto. He and his husband, Rob Rollins are active within the Anglican Church, organizing the Delta Fair, the Portland Community Health Centre and the AIDS Bereavement and Resiliency Program of Ontario. “The list goes on and on,” says Deb Kinder, staff member at HARS who’s worked with MacTavish for over six years. “The level of generosity is amazing. For years, John and Rob have given so much to so many people.” But now is the time to give to them, Kinder explained. MacTavish and Rollins live with

MacTavish’s brother, Bobby, who has a serious disability that leaves him unable to walk or care for himself. MacTavish and Rollins have lived with Bobby for 28 years, both dedicated to caring for him and ensuring he stays in their family home. Sadly, Rollins was diagnosed with throat and neck cancer last year. He’s undergone chemo radiation and lived through the associated side effects, but his tumour remains. Most recently, Rollins had a neck dissection surgery, which did not result in the positive outcome he and MacTavish had hoped for. Now, Rollins is unable to lift Bobby due to the surgery, and MacTavish himself is facing some health issues that have limited his abilities to life his brother, too. Because of Bobby’s condition, he must be lifted from his bed to his chair and vice versa multiple times a day. Faced with this hard reality, it became obvious to MacTavish that his family needs lift equipment in order to keep Bobby in their home. Putting Bobby in a facility is not only too expensive, it’s not an option MacTavish and Rollins want. But the lift equipment they require is also incredibly expensive, and will require some renovations to install in the home. The team at HARS knew that MacTavish, a humble and private individual, would ﬁnd it difﬁcult to ask for help. But they also know just how deserving the family that has given so much is. So, on Thursday, Aug. 11, the team started a GoFundMe campaign to raise the $25,000 the family will need for the lift and necessary renovations. A telling sign of just how important MacTa-

vish and Rollins are to this community and beyond, within a week, the campaign has raised over $19,000. So close to their goal, Kinder and her fellow HARS coworkers are hoping those who may not be aware of the campaign will also come forward in support if they catch wind of it. “If someone is struggling, John and Rob are the ﬁrst to jump up and help, reaching out to church members, community members, or reaching into their own pockets,” she expressed. “It seems like now is a good time for them to be the recipients.” And for MacTavish, the outpouring of support and the touching comments, phone calls and visits he’s received are overwhelming. “It’s been a very humbling experience,” he

said, his voice wavering slightly as he tries to describe what this campaign means to him and his family.“I was asking myself how I would be able to make this work. It’s been a year since we started this journey with Rob’s cancer, and right now we are at a place where we just don’t know what happens next…” he said. “This will allow me to keep working because it will make it easier at home with my brother, but, what it comes down to really, is that this will allow me to keep my family together.” To ﬁnd out more about the campaign to “Help Give John a Lift,” visit https://www.gofundme. com/2j825k4 or https://www.facebook.com/ harskingston/

Arrival of new grandson Max creates wonderful memories By Jeff Maguire

I just had a birthday recently. I can’t say I “enjoyed a birthday recently.” That’s because I now qualify for a particular song by The Beatles. That one from the Sergeant Pepper’s album! What made my day was the presence of my grandchildren. Regular readers will notice that is now plural. I sometimes mention our granddaughter Lily in my column. At 29 months Lily is a going concern. When she’s here the only time she stops is when her parents insist she sit down for lunch or dinner. The rest of the time she is a whirlwind, inside or outside our house. After they leave Kathleen and I usually fall into bed! Now Lily has a brother, our second grandchild. His name is Max and at this writing he is growing like a weed! Our daughter Heather and her partner Indy Jayasekara are the proud parents. And are they lucky! Max is such a good little fellow. From the very beginning all he did was eat and sleep 24/7. He rarely cries – only when he’s hungry which is often – and he is not a “shrieker” which is even nicer. Max is a very contented fellow and

in the beginning he slept so much we rarely saw his big, brown eyes. That is changing of course and with each passing day he becomes brighter and more engaged. His hearing is outstanding and thanks to his sister his auditory sense is tested regularly. No one will ever accuse Lily of being a shrinking violet! In March Indy, an engineer with an Ottawa-based energy company, was transferred from Regina, where Lily was born, to the nation’s capital. We are delighted and so are his parents who live in suburban Montreal. During the transition period they lived with Kathy and me. Heather was five months pregnant when they arrived and they were with us for two months. That turned out to be a blessing. Lily got to know us so well that Heather and Indy soon had builtin babysitters. Lily barely noticed if her parents went to the store or opted to spend a little time together away from our house in the evening or on weekends. Our grand-daughter is extremely gregarious and she’s a lot of fun to have around. So those two months, in particular, will always hold a special place in our hearts. We thoroughly enjoyed having them

here! They are now settled in a home of their own in south Ottawa and it’s wonderful to have them living 40 minutes away, as opposed to five hours by air. Including airport transfers reaching Regina from Ottawa can be something of an odyssey, as we discovered several times during their two and a half years in the Saskatchewan capital. Lots of help When Lily was born in March 2014 we really felt the distance. So did Heather and Indy who had no relatives in Regina. But they’re very capable and they handled the situation well. Indy’s parents are retired and thankfully they were there to assist when Lily arrived. They were in Regina for a week and then we landed for a six-day visit. So, initially at least, they had plenty of assistance. In addition Indy’s firm was good enough to grant him six weeks paternity leave, a situation that also applies in the wake of Max’s birth. What a huge plus! I well remember how different things were for Kathy and me when our first child was born. I was working as a reporter/ photographer at the daily newspaper in St. Thomas, Ontario

(south of London) at the time. Our managing editor, a crusty Englishman, didn’t want me to take six hours off work, let alone six weeks. He also scoffed at the notion of me wanting to be in the delivery room for Craig’s arrival. Admittedly, in the 1970s fathers in the delivery room was in its infancy, so to speak! He did, however, grant my request for which I was grateful. So was Kathy! It is tough being a first-time mother, living in a new city and being surrounded by strange people. She says my presence definitely made her feel more at ease. Childbirth is not a pleasant experience, as I am sure mothers will attest! I was glad to be there. I was also fortunate enough to be present for Heather’s birth in Carleton Place just 15 months later. She arrived on a Saturday so there was no issue with time off work. There’s nothing quite like witnessing the birth of your children. I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything. Fathers have it easy of course, a fact I readily acknowledge! With Heather and Indy living nearby we were “on-call” for a few weeks in the lead-up to the arrival of grandchild No. 2. Nature

takes its course and not even the most experienced obstetrician can predict when a little one will make his/her appearance. It looked like we would catch a break when Indy’s folks arrived from Montreal. They would look after Lily, in her own home environment, while Mom and Dad were at the hospital. Well, that was the intention at least. But the best laid plans! Mr. and Mrs. Jayasekara were forced to return to Montreal on July 16 due to a medical problem involving the person who was caring for their home. They had to get a house key to a family member who agreed to substitute for their neighbour who had become ill. That Saturday just happened to be Heather’s due date. So suddenly Grandma and Grandpa Maguire were in the frame. Indy’s folks would return sometime on Sunday. Meanwhile we were on call to babysit our grand-daughter. Saturday evening Heather called to say she did not feel the delivery was imminent. But when we retired I told Kathy, “I have a feeling tonight is the night!” She didn’t think so.

Arrival of new grandson Max creates wonderful memories Continued from page 14

For once at least, I was right! Just after midnight the phone on the night table jangled, rousing us from a deep sleep. Before I even answered it I said to Kathy. “Oh, oh – this is it!” A very calm Heather was on the other end of the line. “Dad, can you come now. Labour has started.” We confirmed cell and car phone numbers, just in case they had to take Lily with them to the hospital before we could arrive. She was sound asleep at the time so it made sense for us to go there and spend the remainder of the night! Quick trip I’m not a speeder. But admittedly our car ride to Barrhaven probably broke some records for that particular journey! Fortunately it was 12:30 a.m. and the roads were virtually empty. It was going on 1 a.m. when we arrived. The expectant parents were ready to go. Well, sort of!

Indy is a very calm and deliberate man. It goes with his profession I think. He didn’t appear to be in any hurry and Heather continued to be calm, despite being in some discomfort by this juncture. After three or four trips out to their SUV, Indy assisted Heather to the vehicle and, after a walk around the vehicle – yes, I was watching from an upstairs window – they set off for Queensway-Carleton Hospital (QCH). I am neither calm nor deliberate and by this time I was hitting high numbers on the panic meter. “What’s taking them so long? Why don’t they get going,” I said to Kathy. She wasn’t interested. “They’ll be fine,” she predicted. Through all the commotion our little granddaughter never stirred. When we finally went to bed, about 2 a.m. – I had spent 15 minutes unsuccessfully chasing a fly which had invaded the house and our bedroom while the doors were

duties and we adjourned to QCH. Seven hours after his birth we were holding our new grandson. Only grandparents will recognize this experience for what it is. Truly the best feeling any person can have in their life, outside of the birth of their own children. Max’s four grandparents feel truly blessed!

Flour and sugar bags took on many uses from rags to blouses Mother was ready to tackle another batch of flour and sugar bags. If she was lucky, she got a sugar bag from Mr. Briscoe at the General Store in Northcote after he finished filling paper bags to put on the shelf in different pound sizes. These bags were smaller than the ones she got at the gristmill, but the printed dye, for some reason, was much harder to get rid of. Depending on what she made out of the flour bags, getting all the dye out wasn’t all that important. It wasn’t unusual to crawl into sheets, made from four opened flour bags, and to still have Red Roses Flour printed for all to see. When Mother was tackling the dye in the bags, you would know what she was doing when you came in the gate at the back yard. You

could smell javel water and lye soap a mile away. Once the bags had been washed at least three times, their seams opened, and all the strings and threads gotten rid of, came the job of trying to make the bags suitable for tea towels, underpants for my sister and me, and of course, pinny aprons, and more often than not, blouses. But getting the dye out was a major job for Mother. The bags would soak overnight in the copper washtub, and if Mother was lucky, the dyes would have greatly faded from the jar of javel water. Using the tongs she used when getting the whites out of boiling water and into the washtub, she would pull each bag out and put it in the big granite dishpan. This was when she would know if the whole exercise was a complete bust. Which more often than not, it was. For the very best of the bags, the smaller sugar bags, for instance, they would be further treated to a wash of water and lemon juice, and then spread out on the grass to let

the sun finish the job. Sadly, that didn’t always work either, and there it would be, the printing, as large as life, maybe a little bit faded, but far from being completely removed. I could see the look on Mother’s face when the javel water didn’t work. It was the same look she got when she tried to make over something that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, realizing the hopelessness of the whole exercise, because the suit material was too heavy, the silk dress too fancy, or, as in many cases, what she took out of the box was fit only for the rag bag. After the kitchen was redded up, Audrey was sent out to bring in the few flour bags, and the one sugar bag which had been treated to the beating sun for the whole afternoon. Sadly, the printing was as bold as ever. Mother sighed, got out the scissors, and got down to the job of figuring out what could be made. Some would become “not for company” tea towels. The few, which had faded the most, would do

for pillowslips and sheets. She held up the one sugar bag, limp from so many washings and javel treatments, and decided it would have to do for a few dishcloths. Then she called me over to the sewing machine, held up one of the flour bags, measured my body from the waist to my knees, and began cutting it up. There was no such thing as having a pattern to go by. I knew I was in for another pair of flour bag bloomers. Thankfully, the bloomers I would wear to the Northcote School, had seen many, many washings, and the ones Mother was sewing that night would be ‘play bloomers’ until they had been what she called “well broken in”. Which meant, of course, the printing would be all but gone. Bloomers made out of flour or sugar bags would not be the most comfortable of underwear until they had been washed many times. For the first few times of wearing them, they felt like pieces of cardboard against your body, and

the tight elastic in the legs didn’t help to soften them either. Mother had the new bloomers finished before I went to bed. I would wear them often during the summer, breaking them in, and grateful that by the time I went back to the Northcote School, the bright red and blue words, “PRIDE OF THE VALLEY” across the seat would be all but faded away.

Streep’s performance serves up perfect anti-blockbuster MOVIE: Florence Foster Jenkins STARRING: Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, and Simon Helberg DIRECTOR: Stephen Frears RATING: PG By Mark Haskins’

It’s been nothing but explosions, aliens and superhuman battles since

May. Which is great, but every once in a while I need to get off the blockbuster rollercoaster. This week I took a break with Florence Foster Jen-

kins. It’s 1944 in New York and wealthy heiress Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) is the heart and soul of the music community. Her love of music is boundless, and her enthusiasm infects all around her. Florence dreams of singing at Carnegie Hall, but her voice isn’t equal to her passion. Of course Florence has no idea she can’t sing. Her husband St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant) has gone to extraordinary pains to ensure his wife remains unaware of her true singing ability. When she performs he approves who gets tickets. He makes sure only ‘trusted’ members of the press are there. In short only those who love Florence attend. Then, while Mr. Bayfield is away, Florence decides to make her dream come true. She arranges a concert at Carnegie Hall, and gives away a thousand tickets to the brave soldiers returning home. For Florence it’s a triumph. For Bayfield it’s a disaster. It’s a situation where he can’t

protect her. It’s also Florence’s dream so with the help of Florence’s pianist, Cosme McMoon (Simon Helberg), they do all they can to make it real. Based on the life of the real Mrs. Jenkins, Florence Foster Jenkins is a delight. It’s a story about love, devotion, and how passion can carry the day over talent. It’s a good-natured comedy with a few emotional twists and surprises. It’s the kind of film where you listen intently to what the actors say, and pay even more attention to what the actors do when they aren’t speaking. Simon Helberg plays the shy yet talented pianist hired to work with Florence. His facial expressions when he hears Florence sing for the first time are priceless. It’s hysterical. Bayfield’s devotion to Florence is unquestioned, so it’s surprising when we learn Bayfield has a girlfriend. Florence and Bayfield don’t have a physical relationship due to her contracting syphilis from her previ-

ous husband. It’s never clear if Florence is aware of the arrangement and chooses to be ignorant, or if Bayfield simply keeps it secret. Regardless Hugh Grant plays this character in such a way that even though he lives with another woman you never question his devotion to Florence. It’s remarkable. You can’t help but laugh at Streep’s vocal gymnastics, but you never laugh at Florence. Streep takes this person with an almost childlike love of music and need to perform, and causes you to fall in love with her. You cheer her. You applaud her because you admire her spirit if not her talent. Florence Foster Jenkins is the opposite of a summer blockbuster. It’s quiet, subtle, and utterly lacking in explosions. In other words a definite must-see. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Take settlement offer and enjoy a much newer ride “Hi Brian, I’m looking for any ideas that might help me in my given situation as I feel the insurance company is taking advantage of me to minimize the bottom line output for my claim at my expense. A recent collision damage estimate to my 2008 Ford Taurus, although was a confirmed $4,985, seems a little high. My insurance company appraised the vehicle’s value at $5,549 which I believe is on the low side. It appears to me if they pay me $5,549 and they get salvage value, the difference works out to their benefit and I get short changed in the process. If there was a safety issue I’d understand that but there isn’t one, it’s all cosmetic. I’ve driven the vehicle

for a month (unrepaired since the incident) and there is no change in performance just the cosmetic damage as verified when the vehicle was torn down by my local body shop that provided the repair quote. I pay insurance to protect myself not their bottom line. How do I win this battle? Any thoughts?” C.L. Our reader supplied photos and copies of the repair estimate in question. The settlement value the insurance firm offered seems fair according to current advertised sale listings for similar models with comparable equipment and mileage. Yes the insurance company will get some salvage value when taking possession of the Taurus, but it will probably be limited to less than 30 per cent of the appraised figure (if that). In 2016 there isn›t much relative demand for used parts for a 2008 Taurus wagon as many of this era are no longer on the road. And just because collision damage is cosmetic doesn›t

mean it›s cheap. I prepare collision estimates every day as part of my day job and the one that this body shop completed isn›t excessive. Yes they might be able to shave a few dollars off by sourcing used parts, but the likelihood of finding rust-free metal panels for a 2008 is pretty rare. In my humble opinion, I›d take this offer and enjoy the reward of a much newer ride with better fuel mileage, safety, comfort, and performance. “Hi Brian, We are wondering if any problems could occur by using 10W30 weight oil in the summer months instead of the 5W20 recommended by our auto’s manufacturer. I understand ports are designed to handle thinner oil but would this be a problem during warm summer months if 10W30 was used and 5W20 in winter.” CC Most carmakers today recommend only one grade of engine oil for year

round use (you should check your particular owner›s manual to be sure) and thicker oil really isn›t needed, and with the decreasing size in oil passages in today›s engine, a thicker oil could provide more risks than beneﬁts due to the possibility of sludge build up in high temperature operations. Keep in mind the multi-grade spec on a 5W20 oil means it provides the protection of 20 weight oil in high temps and if your carmaker has determined this is sufﬁcient, there›s no reason to move to heavier oil. This, the final weekend of summer vacation, is a great time to enjoy some hot chrome and classic cars. On Saturday Aug. 27 and Sunday Aug. 28 the Arnprior White Pine Festival & Classic Car Show rolls onto the ABBA Ball Diamond complex at McNab and McLean streets in Arnprior. Saturday is the car show with three groups: antique cars & 1/2 Ton Trucks, 1900—1979, newer cars and 1/2 Tons 1980 - 2016, and motorcycles of any age. On Sunday they will showcase heavy trucks, farm vehicles,

snowmobiles, boats and 4-wheelers. Enjoy this festival with something for everyone: vendors, concessions, entertainment, and more. See arnpriorwhitepinefestival.ca for more info. Donations to the Arnprior Food Bank would be appreciated. And on Sunday the Golden Gears Car Club Fall Car Show goes from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Seaway Locks in Iroquois. Eddie & the Stingrays will be performing.

Home safety checks to complete today A new kitchen or a bathroom remodeling job might be dream projects for many homeowners, but the right home improvement project at a given moment is not necessarily the most glamorous project. Sometimes safety upgrades around the house must take precedence over more popular projects. Accidents or injuries can occur in any part of the home, but homeowners who take certain preventative measures can greatly reduce their injury risk. The security resource A Secure Life points out that more than 18,000 Americans die every year from injuries that take place in the home. Unintentional injuries account for millions of medical visits each year. Home injuries also are prevalent elsewhere in the world. In the United Kingdom, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents reports that there are approximately 6,000 deaths every year that result from accidents at home. Periodic inspections for potential hazards can keep everyone safe. The following are a handful of ways for homeowners to ensure their homes are as safe as possible. • Check for sturdy handrails and prevent tripping hazards. Falls are one of the leading causes of home injuries. Falls can be a particular threat for youngsters and the elderly. To help prevent falls, make sure that staircases feature sturdy railings and that there is ample lighting in walkways. Remove obstructions from frequently used paths inside and outside the home. In addition, insert nonslip padding beneath runners or throw rugs. • Check for frayed wires or faulty outlets. Address any electrical problems around the house, including frayed

wiring and faulty outlets. Sparks can lead to fires, and poor wiring may cause unforeseen problems behind walls. Repair or replace any loose or frayed wires on all electrical devices. Be sure that cords do not run under doorways or rugs. Replace outlets that are in disrepair and install ones with ground-fault current interruptors as an added precaution. If small children live in the home, use plastic safety covers over unused outlets. • Practice window safety. Young children are curious and do not always recognize the inherent dangers around them. Children excited to see the great outdoors may climb up to peer out windows, and open windows are falling hazards. Screens do not offer an adequate barrier against falls. Consider locking windows or use safety bars to guard against falls. Test to see how easily screens can be pushed out, replacing any that do not provide adequate resistance to curious youngsters’ hands. • Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Replace the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors at least twice per year, and test them to make sure they’re in good working order at least once per month. The National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing hard-wired smoke alarms every 10 years. Battery-operated alarms may need to be replaced even sooner. Many carbon monoxide detectors work for five to seven years. Check the back of alarms for a date stamp that indicates how old the product is and when it expires. Safety checklists are an important part of home maintenance. A proactive approach can prevent both injuries and damage to the home.
