City buys prime west end waterfront land for future park space

By Bill Hutchins

News – The City of Kingston has added another jewel to its waterfront park system with a major land purchase near Lemoine Point.

The city will pay $1.55 million to purchase 7.2 hectares (18.6 acres) of land at 1243 Front Road.

“It’s a pretty unique property. This type of waterfront land doesn’t come for sale in Kingston very often,” said veteran commercial real estate broker Martin Skolnick.

Skolnick, who works for Cushman & Wakefield, completed the sale on behalf of local philanthropists and United Way supporters John and Diana Weatherall, who have owned the Front Road property since the 1960s.

“The seller was quite pleased the city was buying the land,” Skolnick added.

The vacant west end land, featuring about 300 metres of water frontage, is located across the street from Norman Rogers Airport and near the southern entrance to the conservation area. Despite its prime location, the land has never been developed.

“I’ve been selling real estate for 30 years and I’ve never sold a parcel like this one,” said Skolnick.

He says the property, with magnificent views of Lake Ontario, quickly attracted widespread interest from the development community when it was first listed for sale about two and a half months ago. “Interested parties submitted offers. It wasn’t a bidding

war,” he explained.

The real estate firm marketed the site with the potential to develop up to 71 residential lots. “We had parties from Toronto and Kingston interested in subdivision or estate lots.”

Skolnick says he also contacted city officials to see if they were interested in making an offer. “I was glad they acted as quickly as they did.”

What may have tipped the balance in favour of the municipal offer over private development interests was the city’s intent to add the property to its public parks inventory, he added.

“It’s more than just price we consider.

There are factors like who’s the buyer, their ability to close the deal, any conditions of purchase. Those all go into the mix,” Skolnick explained.

The city recently adopted a Waterfront Master Plan that lays out strategies to acquire important pieces of privately-owned waterfront land for future public access.

The policy recommends spending nearly $65 million over the next 30 years to better connect residents to the city’s 280 kilometres of shoreline along Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River and the Rideau Canal system.

Private lands around the southern portion of Lemoine Point are among those earmarked as “highly desirable” goals for either future acquisition or partnerships.

The Front Road deal, which is expected to close in a couple of weeks, would be financed through municipal capital reserve fund.

Midtown neighbours irked by city’s plan for school redevelopment

By Bill Hutchins

News – The city’s redevelopment plan for the former St. Joseph/St. Mary Catholic School at 671 Brock Street isn’t sitting well with the neighbours.

Many complained they were not consulted over the plan to demolish the old school, which the city purchased for $2.25 million last June, and carve the 1.5 acre property into three sections for public park space, affordable housing and a private housing component.

“We hoped that more of it would be parkland,” said area resident Warren Mabee, who also heads the geography and planning department at Queen’s University.

Mabee insisted that his concerns should not be characterized as NIMBY (Not in My Backyard) but, rather, reflective of what neighbours actually want from the former school property. He says residents currently use the open space for recreation and dog walking, and much of that would be lost to the city’s proposed housing redevelopment. “This is a property being used and in demand in the neighbourhood.”

John Clements, a local resident and former city councillor, urged council to defer the staff recommendation until the neighbourhood is first con-

sulted through a visioning exercise or public meetings. About a dozen area residents also gathered in the council chamber to hear the one hour political discussion Sept. 6.

“Their appreciation of open government is seriously challenged,” he said, noting many residents view the city’s plan as a fast-track approach.

Under the redevelopment proposal, the neighbourhood would be left with less park space than what the current school site allows, he added.

Coun. Jim Neill questioned the staff recommendation to sell about one-third of the site for private housing, saying the “land flipping” scheme of city-acquired school land is unprecedented.

Coun. Neill tried to amend the motion to remove the private housing component, but it was defeated 10-2.

Staff insisted the private land sale is necessary to help finance the park space and affordable housing components.

“What we’re trying to achieve is a reduced cost for affordable housing and future parkland acquisition,” explained community services commissioner Lanie Hurdle.

She says the purchase of the former school has “depleted” the municipal reserve fund that pays for future parkland acquisition, and selling a chunk of the land will help replenish the fund.

Hurdle also addressed the tight

timeline swirling around the redevelopment, noting the city can access provincial affordable housing grants if the project is constructed next year. “We need to start the planning process for the affordable housing. That’s putting pressure on this.”

A staff concept plan showing how the site would be carved into three lots was also the focus of much debate.

The plan not only allocated nearly 50 percent of available space for private housing, but proposed locating the public park to the front of the site at Brock and Napier Streets.

Mabee says creating a park alongside an arterial road is bound to cause safety concerns for families. “Putting it on the corner probably creates a park that doesn’t get used very much.”

City staff say the concept drawing was just for illustrative purposes, and the property can still be reconfigured to address neighbourhood concerns.

Some councillors suggested at least 60 percent of the site should be earmarked for park space, while the other 40 percent is set aside for mixed housing. Some also want the housing moved closer to Brock Street, rather than along the school’s perimeter, with a new public park tucked behind it along Napier Street. The lot size and configuration ideas will be further discussed during upcoming public meetings, staff promised.

Hurdle says the main point of the recommendation was to first get approval to proceed with the affordable housing component, adding that staff always planned to seek public consultation.

Many councillors support the controversial three-pronged use of the site.

With council’s support, the city will move ahead with plans to sell a chunk of the old school property to Kingston

& Frontenac Housing Corporation to construct about 30 affordable housing and rent-geared-to-income units. The private land sale option also remains on the table to accommodate a low to medium density development.

Facing with declining enrolment, the aging St. Joseph/St. Mary elementary school, across the street from Churchill Park, was decommissioned last year.

Federal government announces nearly $10 million investment in local Parks Canada sites

By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

News – National parks and historic sites in Kingston and the area will benefit through restoration and preservation thanks to an investment from the federal government.

Just outside the entrance to Murney Tower on Sept. 15, MP Mark Gerretsen announced, on behalf of Catherine McKenna, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, nearly $10 million in funding for sites in and around Kingston. Those sites include Fort Henry National Historic Site, Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site, Bellevue House National Historic Site, and Thousand Islands National Park, all of which are federally owned and maintained

by Parks Canada.

“Visitors come to this city because of the history and culture that make Kingston such a special place: We are Canada’s first capital, we are the city of Sir John A. Macdonald, [and] this community has a wealth

of great museums, cultural sites, restaurants and businesses that all focus on ensuring a pleasurable stay in Kingston,” Gerretsen said, underlining the importance of the sites maintained by Parks Canada here in Kingston, and their role in local tourism.

“The government recognizes the value of this industry in Kingston.

We are committed to preserving our national parks and national historic sites, expanding the system of protected areas and cultural treasures across the nation.”

Specifically, the investment will allow for the following projects: The acquisition of two pieces of property that will become part of Thousand Islands National Park, and revitalizing the campground and day-use areas of the Park; masonry repairs and terreplein waterproofing to ensure long-term integrity and protection from elemental exposure at Fort Henry National Historic Site; exterior repairs at Bellevue House National Historic Site, as well as a revitalization of the visitor experience there through new signage and

interactive displays; masonry and exterior repairs of the three towers of the Kingston Fortification National Historic Site, Murney, Shoal and Cathcart Towers.

In total, the federal government is investing $1,363,000 for projects at Thousand Islands National Park, $4 million for projects at Fort Henry, $1,030,000 for projects at Bellevue House, and $3.4 million for projects at the Kingston Fortifications sites.

The investment totals just under $9.8 million in local National Parks and Historic Sites.

“Todays investments will help to protect the natural and cultural heritage of Thousand Islands National Park, Fort Henry, the Kingston Fortifications, and Bellevue House – all national historic sites – and help to provide meaningful experiences for Canadians and visitors from around the world,” Gerrestsen said. “And as your Member of Parliament, I am proud to be able to play a role in protecting national treasures like Parks Canada’s locations in Kingston for the benefit of all Canadians MP Mark Gerretsen announced nearly $10 million investment in local for now and for future generations.” Parks Canada sites at Murney Tower on Sept. 15.

Kingston’s heritage watchdog role may be eroded, critics warn News – The City of Kingston may have been over-stepping its authority for years by requiring heritage property owners to jump through more hoops than necessary to get permits for minor exterior alterations.

That’s the conclusion of city lawyers, who recommend that Heritage Kingston be stripped of some of its consultation and approval powers in order to comply with long-standing language in Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). Part V speaks to heritage groupings, or districts, known for their important vistas, plazas, streetscapes, and historic structures and features.

The recommendation has angered heritage activists who say it amounts to watering down the committee’s established watchdog role.

“It’s one thing to be silent. It’s quite something else to say it’s prohibited,” said Christine Sypnowich, president of the Barriefield Village Association.

Barriefield is one of three areas in Kingston identified as heritage conservative districts under the OHA. After studying the provincial law, the city’s legal department concluded that home owners located within those heritage districts don’t need to seek committee approval or consultation for anything deemed a “minor alteration” permit. It should, instead, be decided by staff.

They say the only mandatory consultation that’s needed is when the heritage conservation district plan itself is being established or modified, or if a property owner applies to demolish or remove a building or structure within a heritage district.

The intent of the staff recommendation is to streamline Heritage Kingston’s workload. The committee recently took additional responsibility for museums and collections, and its monthly meetings often last longer than any other committee or council meetings.

Sypnowich say the heritage committee takes pride in having expertise among its members to advise property owners about alterations, and stripping them of that consultation

role weakens Kingston’s overall heritage stewardship. She criticized staff for attempting to “undermine” the committee’s work.

However, city officials say without the procedural change property owners could take the city to the Ontario Municipal Board over unnecessary delays in approving permit applications for minor alterations.

“It is appreciated that this clarification on the legal obligations under the OHA is challenging given the City of Kingston’s long history of consulting with the heritage committee on alterations; however, it is clear it is not mandated by the legislation,” said a report by city solicitor Susan Nicholson.

Kingston has 1,200 designated properties and nearly half of them are located within established heritage districts in Barriefield, Old Sydenham and Market Square.

Shirley Bailey, president of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation and a former employee of the city’s planning department, says bypassing the committee’s advisory role could weaken heritage protection. She says other municipalities allow heritage committees to provide input on exterior alterations such as roofing, windows and porches, and Kingston should continue to do the same.

Coun. Peter Stroud, who chairs the Heritage Kingston advisory committee, says the OHA allows individual municipalities to decide how to use their committees. “Although they don’t say that you have to consult with a municipal heritage committee on alterations in a heritage district many communities choose to do so.”

However, he agrees Heritage Kingston needs to find “efficiencies” in the process of dealing with perTICO#50007364

By Bill Hutchins

mits. “We’re having six hour meetings. It’s very challenging with the amount of details that we have to cover.”

Councillors agreed to Coun.

Stroud’s deferral of the contentious legal recommendation for six weeks so that staff can study the best prac-

tices of other municipalities of the same or larger size. The report is expected to completed and presented to council October 18.

Impact of donations to Kingston YMCA to be doubled by local contributors

By Tori Stafford

Representatives of the YMCA and Pathways to Education gathered to kick off a fund-matching campaign to support children and youth in need. The trustees of the Larry Gibson Estate, Jay Rayner and Graeme Fraser, were on hand to announce they have established a

fund that will match any donations made to the YMCA from now until Friday, Oct. 28, up to a maximum of $30,000. These funds are intendNews – All donations made to ed to continue and increase access the YMCA of Kingston until the to the YMCA and its programs for end of October will be generously kids and youth who would othermatched, thanks to a fundraising wise not be able to. initiative announced Sept. 14.

The partnership with the Estate of Larry Gibson will continue a program launched in 2013 called ‘ Building Brains and Bodies,’ which addresses physical fitness and education by offering free YMCA memberships to any students at Pathways to Education.

“It’s incredible. This partnership has had a tremendous impact on our program and Graeme Fraser (left) and Jay Rayner, trustees of the Larry Gibson Estate, look on as Mary our kids,” said Kloosterman, CEO of the YMCA of Kingston, discusses the impact of the partnership be- Chris Dreifelds, a student parent tween the local YMCA and Pathways to Education.

He noted that over 500 children and youth in the Pathways to Education program have benefitted

from the partnership, which not only increases physical activity in participants, but also helps in building a well-rounded student.

“The benefits have created a transformation. Week to week, it’s a really good life-skills builder,” said Dreifelds, pointing out that students report enhanced ability to focus in school, higher attendance rates, and event better sleeping habits.

“For the kids that come in [to Pathways to Education], confidence can be low, and they may be very dependant, or self-conscious. But after working together or working with Y staff here, the students become comfortable and confident, and more social.”

For the Trustees of the Larry Gibson Estate, creating a fundmatching initiative for the YMCA to continue offering this partnership was “a perfect fit,” said Jay Rayner – The Estate has supported the partnership between the YMCA and Pathways to Education since its inception.

“There is certainly a lot of evidence to show that if you can get kids exercising, they’ll perform better in school,” said Rayner, adding that he and Fraser recognize how difficult it can be to secure continued funding for a programs once it is off the ground.

“With respect to Pathways and the Y, we’ve been committed to helping this particular project for the last three years, and it’s grown immensely. The kids are giving really good and positive feedback. It’s a good program and a great fit for us.”

Fraser expressed that the partnership between the YMCA and

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, September 22, 2016

Pathways to Education is very congruent to the kinds of investments Mr. Gibson made himself.

“Prior to Larry’s death, he was involved and gave donations to a number of schools so that they could have music programs or band programs,” said Fraser.

“We feel that Larry was interested in the growth of children, and so this is a good fit in that way, as well.”

Mary Kloosterman, CEO of YMCA of Kingston, said she hopes the community will take advantage of the opportunity to have any donation they make to the cause basically doubled from now until the end of October.

“When we started this program, it just really took off, and so we are really pleased to have this support to keep it going,” she said, noting that the original goal was to have at least 5 per cent of students at Pathways to Education take advantage of the opportunity – a goal that was quickly surpassed and is now as high as 60 per cent of those students.

“The irony is that there isn’t continuing funding, so even if you can say this is great program and we’ve got the stats to show it – the students’ marks are up, they’re attendance rates are up – we still need groups like the Larry Gibson Estate to say ‘Ok, you’ve got something good here. Let us help,” she explained.

“This is a program we definitely don’t want to lose.”

50-cent solution? Study concludes downtown Kingston parking rates must rise

By Bill Hutchins

News – Consultants studying future parking rates and fines in Kingston have revealed their preferred choice.

But it will be up to civic politicians to accept or modify it.

Toronto-based BA Group, hired by the city to conduct a comprehensive parking rate review, recommends a scenario that would boost the downtown’s on-street parking rates by 50-cents an hour starting in 2019 – once the last phase of the so-called Big Dig work on Princess Street is complete - and to increase special event parking around the Rogers K-Rock Centre by $1 starting in 2017.

In addition, the fine for parking at an expired meter would jump $5 ($20 per ticket with $15 early payment option), while the fine for failing to display a parking ticket would jump $10 ($25 per ticket with $20 early payment option).

The higher fines would begin in 2018.

But at least you won’t have to feed the meter over a longer period. The scenario favoured by the consultant would see paid parking hours remain unchanged, generally between 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

from Monday to Saturday.

The proposed higher rates represent the first significant increase in more than a decade, while parking fines haven’t risen in 25 years.

The hikes are being fueled by the need to shore up the city’s parking reserve fund, which is being depleted by ongoing parking garage capital maintenance and costly plans to construct at least one more multi-level garage in the downtown. The self-sustaining fund is replenished through revenues collected solely from parking fees and fines, not municipal taxes.

Revenues from parking lots and garages generate the largest source of revenue at 34 percent, followed by onstreet parking at 29 percent. Monthly commuter parking generates 11 percent and fine revenue represents 23 percent of the total parking system revenue, according to the report.

The study found that if current pricing remains unchanged the parking reserve fund will begin to run a deficit in six years, and will reach a negative balance of over $35 million by 2030.

“This is clearly an unsustainable financial situation that will require sub-

stantial additional revenue to remedy,” the report concluded.

The scenario recommended by consultants would generate about $1.6 million dollars in annual contributions to the reserve fund, leaving a healthy surplus of about $5 million in any one year to pay for capital repairs to existing structures and finance new ones.

“The City will need to spend approximately $20 million over the next fifteen years on capital repairs and upgrades to the system, including the aged Chown, Robert Bruce and Hanson Memorial garages,” said the consultant’s report.

In addition, the city will need $18 million to pay for a new multi-level garage on lower Queen Street in 2018 to replace surface spaces that are lost to new development, plus $10 million for new parking facilities due to ongoing residential development in the Williamsville area.

The city recently collected public feedback on the proposed increases, so the consultant’s recommended scenario may be altered by politicians. A final recommendation will be presented to council this fall for approval.

In Our Opinion

Five ways to make maternity leave more enjoyable

Column — Maternity leave is a strange time, perhaps especially for those of us whose regular jobs necessitate being very tuned into and involved with the larger community. All of a sudden you’re cut off from this aspect of your life and instead spend the majority of the time camped out on the couch nursing. In my experience, the first two weeks after giving birth are a bit of a blur. It’s a hormonal/emotional rollercoaster to be sure, but at least there is the distraction provided by the many friends and family members who come over to meet the new baby.

Inevitably, however, the novelty wears off for everyone else and you’re left alone in your house with a baby for long stretches of time. With a tiny baby like my four-week-old Everly, this is a daunting situation because it also means being alone with my thoughts for said long stretches of time. Yet, I’ve discovered some coping mechanisms that make mat leave more tolerable - enjoyable, even. Here are a few: 1) Turn off the TV - It’s seductively easy to keep the TV on all day long, but when the reasonably-acceptableto-watch regular Today Show turns into Kathy Lee and Hoda turns into The Price is Right turns into a five-

hour marathon of whatever happens to be on the Food Network, I’m left feeling braindead and empty. Even worse: giving into the temptation of putting on CNN, which of course is currently non-stop US election coverage. This leads to a ‘what kind of world have I brought my daughters into’ sort of depression when I learn about the latest racist/ sexist/xenophobic/ statement Trump has unapologetically made - and he’s somehow tied with Hillary in the polls and has a genuine shot at the presidency? Yeah, best to turn the TV off.

2) Instead, read - I’m always complaining about how I don’t have enough time to read. In an effort to look on the bright side of mat leave, I’ve chosen to see the hours upon hours of nursing that are required as ideal reading time. I have no problem using my phone to read novels and magazines (the latter through Texture - I highly recommend this app if you love mags); this works out well because the phone is light and fits easily into one hand. In the last four weeks, I have read seven books - more than the previous six months combined. The only problem with reading on the phone is the distraction of Twitter, which leads to more US election-based depression.

3) Exercise restraint - when it comes to work, that is. I’m sure Mandy is sick of me checking in at least daily for updates on how things are going and the latest office happenings. It’s hard to let go of something that is normally such

Kanata Kourier-Standard

Kanata Kourier-Standard Arnprior Chronicle-Guide

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide LETTER TO THE EDITOR West Carleton Review

a huge part of my life, but it’s also necessary to avoid FOMO syndrome - that is, fear of missing out and the anxiety that comes with it.

4) Use a baby carrier - I have found that putting the baby in a carrier (I use an Ergo) is essential to being able to get anything done around the house during the day. Both of my children have been difficult to set down as small babies. If Everly falls asleep in my arms and I put her in her bassinet, she wakes up and fusses.

If I put her in her vibrating chair awake, she lasts for five or 10 minutes before she’s overcome with fussiness.

In the Ergo, she falls and stays asleep until I take her out. When I can get some chores accomplished and avoid living in a house that looks like the laundry fairy projectile vomited all over the living room, I’m typically much more content.

5) Get out of the house - Most days I don’t have a car, which makes it difficult to go anywhere specific, but even taking Everly out for a walk around the neighbourhood can go a long way toward lifting my mood when I’m feeling lonely. I’m also learning the ways of Kingston Transit. The express bus gets me from the east end to downtown in 15 minutes, which is pretty great.

So that’s what I’ve been up to for the last four weeks. I won’t kid myself into believing that this relatively peaceful routine will last. As Everly gets older she will be awake more and demand more attention. But it’s working for now and I’m taking it one day at a time.

Sidewalks in subdivisions

The following is a number of comments on what I consider is a critique on the way subdivisions have been constructed in the City of Kingston. We need to have a fresh look at how we allow our subdivisions to be built.

Sidewalks are basically four feet wide in the City. This is not adequate in terms of accessibility.

Sidewalks need to be at least five

other, or for wheelchair persons to turn around if they wish. We need to build subdivisions where all residents can get out of their homes and exercise.

In school zones, church zones, hospital zones, etc., sidewalks need to be even wider than five feet to Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount allow for groups of people to access

their destination. I see areas near schools where the grass on either side of the sidewalk is all chewed up by groups of children walking together as they go to and from school.

Sidewalks need to be separated from the road curbing so wheel chair occupants don’t “slip” into the roadwayDISTRIBUTION across mountable INQUIRIEScurbing.

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, September 22, 2016

Take a walk for kidney disease Editorial – It may be a lesser-known disease, but kidney disease is impacting communities and families in growing numbers. Today, one in 10 Canadians has kidney disease and over 1,000 Ontarians are waiting for a kidney transplant and the number of Canadians being treated for kidney failure has tripled in the last 20 years.

There are many different kidney diseases and disorders. Some kidney diseases are present at birth and others develop as we grow older. Often, kidney disease is associated with other medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease and most diseases attack the filtering units in the kidney, damaging their ability to remove wastes and excess fluids.

It may be possible to prevent chronic kidney disease or slow it down, especially for people with high blood pressure or diabetes. Kidney disease is treated with dialysis or a kidney transplant; there is no cure.

In an effort to learn more about kidney disease and hopefully develop newer and better treatments, the Kidney Foundation of Canada actively fundraises for the cause. One of these fundraising initiatives is the annual Kidney Walk.

Kingston is one of forty communities in Ontario joining together this fall for The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Kidney Walk on Sept. 25.

Each year, thousands of Canadians take steps to create a better future for those living with, and affected by, kidney disease.

Kidney Walks are the Foundation’s largest community fundraiser. The events may only last a few hours, but the connections and camaraderie for those who attend has a lasting impact.

The Kidney Foundation’s goal is to support those affected by kidney disease through education, patient support programs like Kidney Connect Peer Support, advocacy, and by funding research to improve understanding of kidney disease and its treatments.

In Kingston, the Kidney Walk will take place at Lake Ontario Park on Sept. 25 at 11 a.m. For more information, to register for a walk, or to donate, please visit www.kidneywalk.ca

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Sidewalks in subdivisions Continued from page 8

One of the biggest errors is to slant the entire sidewalk into the street where vehicles exit the roadway from or into driveways, etc. Imagine how wheelchair occupants must feel, fighting their way across these driveways.

Imagine also how these driveway entrances could be treacherous if there were any dampness and cold conditions, even for normal walkers.

If there are any grates in the sidewalk, there should be no more than 0.5 inches of parallel openings within the grate system.

Many stretches of sidewalk in subdivisions are also very uneven. They are built in fivefoot segments longitudinally, and each segment is lower or higher than the next segment.

Yes, the City has done a great job at filing the ends of each segment so that they blend fairly well with the adjacent segments, but why is there such an uneven problem with sidewalk construction?

I’m no construction expert, but maybe we need to construct asphalt sidewalks rather than concrete sidewalks so that this “heaving” doesn’t happen, or can be more easily corrected.

Sidewalks need to have a slight slope so that water doesn’t pool on the walking surface.

My observation of sidewalk construction says that sloping is inconsistent.

Sidewalks need to be constructed so that that they are not slippery to walk on. There is a technique to broom the finished concrete surfaces so that there is some surface roughness. I don’t see this happening.

And motorists in this city need to stop being ignorant by parking across a sidewalk. Why are so many people in this city being so inconsiderate? How do these inconsiderate souls expect disadvantaged members of the community to enjoy a few moments of exercise and fresh air?

I am asking those who are responsible for sidewalk construction to think about all users of sidewalks. We talk about wanting to reduce the usage of cars. We want people to walk to bus stops. We want more people to think about exercising. We want to include everyone when it comes to great access to all parts of the city. So let’s start building our accesses properly.

AVIS DE PRÉSENTATION, RAPPORT SUR LA CONCEPTION ET LA CONSTRUCTION Élargissement de l’autoroute 401 et remplacement du pont de la rivière Cataraqui Conception détaillée et étude d’évaluation environnementale (GWP 79-99-00) L’ÉTUDE Le ministère des Transports de l’Ontario (MTO) a retenu les services de MMM Group Limited, une compagnie de WSP, pour effectuer la conception détaillée relative à l’élargissement de l’autoroute 401, à partir de l’ouest du pont de la rivière Cataraqui jusqu’à l’ouest de l’échangeur de la route 15, y compris le remplacement du pont, dans la ville de Kingston (GWP 79-99-00). Le projet comprend les éléments suivants : • élargissement de l’autoroute 401 de quatre à six voies (soit d’une voie dans chaque direction) à partir de l’ouest du pont de la rivière Cataraqui jusqu’à l’ouest de la route 15; • remplacement du pont de la rivière Cataraqui par une structure plus large; • élargissement du remblai au pont pour tenir compte de l‘élargissement de l’autoroute; • installer deux structures de soutien pour les panneaux suspendus sur l’autoroute 401, entre la rivière Cataraqui et la route 15; • une prolongation de ponceau pour tenir compte de l’élargissement de l’autoroute; • travaux de construction connexes, y compris les modifications à l’aménagement paysager et à l’éclairage, au besoin; • fraisage et asphaltage de l’autoroute 401, à partir de 500 m à l’ouest du pont de la rivière Cataraqui jusqu’à 1 km à l’est de la route 15; • installer deux structures de soutien pour les panneaux suspendus sur l’autoroute 401, entre le chemin Sydenham et le chemin Gardiners.

Les étapes de construction et de circulation automobile seront coordonnées avec la Ville de Kingston, Parcs Canada (poste d’éclusage de Kingston Mills), et Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada (route en remblai LaSalle).

LE PROCESSUS Cette étude a été effectuée conformément au processus de planification environnementale approuvé pour les projets du groupe « B » en vertu de l’Évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les installations provinciales de transport (2000), et le public aura l’occasion d’intervenir pendant toute la durée de l’étude. La conception préliminaire et l’étude d’évaluation environnementale portant sur l’élargissement de l’autoroute 401, à partir de l’ouest du County Road 38 (chemin Gardiners) jusqu’à la route 15, recommandait la réfection et l’élargissement mineur du pont sur la rivière Cataraqui.

Depuis 2001, le pont a continué à se détériorer et la recommandation initiale de réfection avec élargissement mineur a été révisée. Un addenda au rapport d’étude environnementale sur les transports (REET) a été rédigé pour documenter les changements au plan recommandé; il proposait plutôt le remplacement du pont par une nouvelle structure plus large. L’addenda a reçu l’autorisation environnementale en 2016.

Le présent avis a pour but d’annoncer au public qu’un rapport sur la conception et la construction (RCC) a été rédigé pour documenter le processus d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale, y compris une description du plan recommandé pour la conception détaillée, les effets potentiels sur l’environnement et le plan d’atténuation des inconvénients. Le RCC sera disponible durant une période d’examen public de 30 jours à partir du 22 septembre 2016 jusqu’au 22 octobre 2016. On pourra le consulter aux emplacements suivants pendant les heures d’ouverture normales : Hôtel de ville de Kingston 216, rue Ontario Kingston (Ontario) K7L 2Z3 Du lundi au vendredi, de 8 h 30 à 16 h 30 COMMENTAIRES

Letter to the editor

In support of another crossing in Kingston

I am a new resident of Kingston East. I am writing to voice my support for an additional way to cross the city. I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t ‘need’ to go outside this area very often. The need arises as most readers will know because there are very few businesses in this area that offer products and services for getting settled in a new community and a new province. The City of Kingston has and continues to approve the development of residential housing in this area so I don’t understand why it would hold up access to what is required by residents.

Has there been financial kickback to someone for the housing but a disincentive for access to services and commercial development until very recently? Or is it that the population growth is just now lucra-

tive for commerce?

What I have heard about urban planning in some places is that there is an effort to provide most everything needed by people on a day to day basis within a small concentrated area. This decreases pollution caused by unnecessary travel either by personal or public transportation, decreases the waste of personal time that can be put to better use, increases the sense of belonging and pride in people’s neighbourhood area which means they will be more committed to the sustainability of their area, decreases the stress caused by frequent commuting, increases contact between neighbours which increases the likelihood of mutual support, etc.

While another bridge/causeway won’t create some of the aforemen-

tioned it does seem to me it should decrease overall pollution in the area. Travelling through downtown can be slow, burns more gas, increases pollution, creates a congested environment which is more stressful for everyone, is less pleasant for tourists visiting the City (especially if the intention is to attract more tourists), can be unsafe when people tend to run across the road at random (especially on the newly renovated Princess St where the widened sidewalk makes it a quicker dash to the other side of the road).

Travelling via the 401 can be stressful for some drivers, is longer creating more pollution, more waste of time, driving at higher speed burns more gas and it is also unsafe to have more traffic entering and exiting Ontario’s major highway to tra-

verse a city.

I have heard there is objection to the building of another causeway based on cost and potential environmental factors. What is the alternative then going forward?

I believe we always need to consider the ‘costs’ of not doing something. Should any present housing development in Kingston East be capped at present, no future development be permitted? What will be the costs (not just the dollar figure) to the residents of Kingston East in continuing as present and to the rest of the City in us travelling to your side? In what other direction can Kingston expand (if it wants to expand), should it expand ‘upward’ rather than ‘outward’ ( I have heard there is some issue with that as well) Are there housing models in other

Need a Doctor?

parts of the world that would financially appeal to housing developers here and to potential home owners who have, up until now, been more attracted to ‘single family homes’?

What will be the eventual financial cost of the Third Crossing if it is inevitable and continues being delayed? What financial assistance could be available, if it was a go now would Federal Infrastructure money have been available, which it may not when the government changes again! What about a public-private partnership enterprise (which seems to be becoming ever more popular across the country) and a toll bridge?

Much to consider.

Thank you for reading.

Kingston Heritage - Thursday, September 22, 2016

New condos necessary for a thriving downtown Jeff Scott THE COUNTRYSIDE VIEW Editorial - The Capital Theatre has moved out of the downtown for a more spacious venue in the north of the city leaving the older theatre vacant. A Toronto developer has stepped up and proposed building a fifteen storey condominium on the site. The 213 unit building will have underground parking off of Queen Street and a pedestrian entrance at the front of the building using the original theatre front on Princess Street.

There have been a lot of changes to the application and the project is now going to Council for approval.

The application has stirred up a lot of controversy but this is not the first residential tower to be built downtown Kingston, nor will it be the last. There are already several wonderful high-rise residential buildings in the core and just like every other Canadian city there is an increased desire for more like them.

There are four factors pushing up the demand. Seniors are retiring here from Toronto but, instead of settling in Bayridge like they used to, many are opting for downtown instead. They are being followed by seniors moving in from the west end who are exchanging their suburban house for a downtown condo near the restaurants and the hospital. There are also the two thousand extra

students that Queen’s University is bringing in to the city, many with wealthy parents willing to buy a condominium unit for their child.

Finally, there are the millennials, like my daughter, who do not own a car and want to live in the centre of the city where the entertainment and restaurants are. To meet the demand, there are going to have to be several buildings like this built every year; one apartment tower for the new Queen’s University students alone.

The opposition to this building is perplexing. For many years there has been concern about Kingston sprawling off with suburban growth. Although this growth has hardly been sprawl, it has expanded the boundaries of the urban area. As such, successive Councils have made sure

that the Official Plan allows for new residential growth in the city core. This makes good development sense since there are schools and stores downtown that rely on having people live there. Unfortunately, many of the day-to-day stores have already been replaced by restaurants and K.C.V.I closed because there weren’t enough students in the area to keep it going without bussing in students from elsewhere. There are four elementary schools that will likely close if more people don’t move into the area.

The Province has put out a policy paper supporting this type of high rise development because they understand the futility of building more schools, roads, and sewers when existing facilities are being underutilised. That is why

these projects get taken to the Ontario Municipal Board and why they get approved whether residents like it or not.

There have been complaints about how this building will affect Princess Street and some have pointed out the horrible looking Princess Towers as a bad example.

Princess Towers was an experiment that went bad and the Capital building will look nothing like it. This project is set back from the street quite a distance and the existing theatre frontage is going to be kept as the main entrance.

Anyone walking along the street would have a hard time noticing the building at all. There have been complaints about this building not being at a human scale but since it is set back it will have little presence. There have been concerns

about the effects of the building on Queen Street but this really doesn’t matter much because there is no residential on that part of the street to be affected.

Finally, there was the concern that this building would block the view of City Hall. Well, as far as that goes, City Hall is only visible from the streets around market square, from the waterfront and from those apartments that are already lucky to have a view of City Hall.

The times have changed again in Kingston. People are going to have to get used to seeing this type of apartment building going up.

There will undoubtedly be many more of them, which will go a long way to keeping Kingston’s wonderful downtown alive and thriving.

NOTICE OF SUBMISSION – DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REPORT Highway 401 Widening and Cataraqui River Bridge Replacement Detail Design and Environmental Assessment Study (GWP 79-99-00) THE STUDY The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained MMM Group Limited, a WSP company, to complete the Detail Design for the widening of Highway 401 from west of the Cataraqui River Bridge to west of the Highway 15 interchange, including the replacement of the Cataraqui River Bridge, in the City of Kingston (GWP 79-99-00). The project involves the following components: • Widening of Highway 401 from four to six lanes (by one lane in each direction) from west of the Cataraqui River Bridge to west of Highway 15; • Replacing the Cataraqui River Bridge with a wider structure; • Embankment widening at the bridge to accommodate the highway widening; • Installing two Highway 401 overhead sign support structures, between the Cataraqui River and Highway 15; • A culvert extension to accommodate the highway widening; • Construction of related works, including modifications to landscaping and illumination, as required; • Milling and paving of Highway 401 from 500 m west of the Cataraqui River Bridge to 1 km east of Highway 15; and • Installing two Highway 401 overhead sign support structures, between Sydenham Road and Gardiners Road.

MOVIE: Sully STARRING: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Mike O’Mally DIRECTOR: Clint Eastwood RATING: PG By: Mark Haskins

Construction and traffic staging will be coordinated with the City of Kingston, Parks Canada (Kingston Mills Lockstation), and Public Works and Government Services Canada (LaSalle Causeway).

THE PROCESS This study was carried out in accordance with the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the study. The 2001 Preliminary Design and Class EA study for the widening of Highway 401 from west of County Road 38 (Gardiners Road) to Highway 15 recommended the rehabilitation and minor widening of the Cataraqui River Bridge. Since 2001, the bridge has continued to deteriorate and the original recommendation to rehabilitate the bridge with minor widening was revisited.

A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) Addendum was prepared to document the changes to the recommended plan for the replacement of the Cataraqui River Bridge with a new, wider structure. The TESR Addendum received environmental clearance in 2016.

The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that a Design and Construction Report (DCR) has been completed to document the Class EA process followed, including a description of the Detail Design recommended plan, potential environmental effects and mitigation plan. The DCR will be available for a 30-day public review period from September 22, 2016 to October 22, 2016. The DCR can be reviewed at the following locations during normal hours of operation: Kingston City Hall 216 Ontario Street Kingston, ON K7L 2Z3 Monday - Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Miracle landing only part of the tale in this latest Eastwood film

The Miracle on the Hudson captivated the world. We all know what happened that day. We saw the news, we saw the interviews, we saw the crew on David Letterman.

So why do we need a movie? Sully goes beyond the news to tell the story behind the events, and connect with the people who made it happen.

On January 15, 2009 US Airways flight 1549 out of LaGuardia Airport was struck by a flock of geese. With both engines inoperable, and the plane rapidly losing thrust, Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) were forced to take emergency action. Runways were cleared for an emergency landing, but their altitude was too low. Sully knew they would never make an airport so he took the only option available to him. He landed his plane on the Hudson River.

For every condition and factor to come into play the way they did was a miracle. For Sully to land his plane on the Hudson, and have every single passenger and crewmember walk away unharmed was beyond belief. Sully takes us into those events second-by-second and momentby-moment. It also takes us to the events that happened after.

We see the investigation of the crash. We see head investigator Charles Porter (Mike O’Mally) claim Sully could have made it to an airport. We see the engineers’ reports, the computer simulations and pilot simulations, and the toll it all takes on Sully as he second guesses and questions everything that happened in those three minutes.

Like most people I knew the facts of the events surrounding Sully. What I didn’t know was what happened during the investigation. I didn’t know they tried to blame Sully for what happened. Getting to see that investigation play out across the big screen is fascinating. Eastwood brings those details to light beautifully, but he does so much more than that. His focus is on the people, and Chesley Sullenberger in particular. It’s on who Sully is, how he thinks, what motivates him, and how this whole thing affected him emotionally and psychologically. It’s a beautiful story.

The supporting cast is excellent. Laura Linney, who plays Lorraine Sullenberger, Aaron Eckhart, and Mike O’Mally show such conviction and integrity in their performances. These are real events and real people, and the cast is extremely sensitive to that.

Tom Hanks is one of those rare talents who can do anything. He can do comedy, he can star in an action film, and he can do drama. In Sully he doesn’t play Chesley Sullenberger, he inhabits him. He becomes him. Hanks doesn’t try to make Sully into someone he isn’t. He gives an honest portrayal, and in doing so creates something powerful.

Sully takes an already remarkable story and gives us the story behind the story. It goes beyond the facts to give us an intimate look at the real people involved.

Column — As promised, here’s Part 2 of last week’s report on the 2016 Fan Expo in Toronto over the Labour Day weekend.

At 93, Stan Lee is still going strong and was clearly the biggest draw at the Fan Expo.

While that might not be surprising to some (hey, he did kinda invent Marvel Comics along with some help from artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko), the Fan Expo did also feature heavyweights Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) as well as Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward), three cast members from The Walking Dead, King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and just

about every voice actress who ever worked on Sailor Moon.

But all the aforementioned autograph writers were all lined up beside each other in the North Building, along with the Batmobile and the photo-op setup.

Stan Lee, however, had his own autograph section, aptly dubbed “The Stan Lee Zone” in the South Building, just down from Artists Alley.

At $120, Lee autographs were the second priciest at the convention after Hamill’s at $195.

So, you buy your ticket for your autograph (actually my darling daughter and her husband bought mine as my birthday present this year) and are told that the auto-

News – A woman put on a knee-length tan trench coat, and walked over to a full-length mirror.

Immediately, her posture changed. Her shoulders fell back and she stood a little taller. But the biggest change was the glow coming from her facial expression as a bright, wide smile spread across her face.

“Wow!” exclaimed the well-dressed clerk who’d been helping her find items to try on.

“That’s just perfect.”

This scene didn’t take place in a high-end boutique or a well-known department store. Instead, on a Wednesday afternoon in downtown Kingston, this woman was inside a popup shop on Princess Street, staffed by employees from KEYS Job Centre and Dress for Success Kingston.

Kingstonians can expect warmer temperatures to continue this fall, but should be prepared for a colder winter

By Mandy Marciniak

mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – It looks like warmer temperatures are sticking around this fall.

The Weather Network released its fall and early winter weather predictions last week and according to meteorologist Erin Wenckstern, Kingstonians can expect warmer temperatures to continue throughout most of autumn this year.

“It won’t be above seasonal the entire time, fall is a transitional season where we will of course see ups and downs and the cold artic air will occasionally come in,” she said. “But we expect that after we crunch all the numbers for the season overall, the temperatures will come out as above normal.”

These warmer temperatures come after many throughout the province experienced a warmer and drier than normal summer and unfortunately, Wenckstern expects the precipitation levels to stay low throughout the fall too.

“We are expecting the drier conditions to kind of linger throughout fall as well. We are expecting near normal to below normal precipitation and my guess it we will trend towards below,” she said. “We will see some rain, but we are expecting it to come in waves.”

These warmer and drier temperatures come as a result of rigid highpressure systems that are lingering throughout the area and while the Weather Network tries to be as accurate as possible in their predictions, Wenckstern admits that the forecast

was a bit tougher to predict this year.

“Last year we were dealing with going into a super El Nino and that is what dictated our forecast for the winter, however the ocean is actually in a neutral phase in the Pacific now and that isn’t giving us many hints,” she explained. “This year we are looking at scenarios we have seen in the past to help us predict.”

With this look to the past, Wenckstern predicts that we may see a cold spell arrive in November that will feel like winter, but whether it sticks around for the entire winter is yet to be determined.

“It might stick around or we might have a

colder November and then a warmer December,” she said. “What we know for sure is that winter won’t be as mild as last year.”

Last year, temperatures throughout the region averaged six degrees warmer than normal, but it appears that will not be the case this year.

“We are expecting a colder winter with near or below normal temperatures,” said Wenckstern. “Bad news for some, but hopefully it is a bit better for ski season.”

As with any prediction, there is a chance for errors and Wenckstern admits that being wrong sometimes comes with the territory. She recommends that people continue to monitor the forecast for the most accurate look at what’s to come.

“We always try our hardest and we are looking at the forecast every day and constantly monitoring how things are progressing,” she said. “All we can say right now it that it looks like we are in for a really nice fall.”

Local artist explores new and old, levels of consciousness in upcoming exhibit

By Tori Stafford

tstafford@metroland.com

Events – Wallace Edwards is known for creating intricate, deep works of art in many mediums, which evoke an imaginative whimsy and a need to keep looking. His newest exhibit hope to be no exception to that.

Edwards, who resides in Yarker and boasts a large collection of awards and accolades for both his art and his children’s books, is about to open his latest exhibit at Studio 22 Idea Manufactory and Open Gallery. Titled ‘Notionography,’ the exhibit marries some of Edwards’ sketches and drawings from the past with new works, spanning a variety of mediums from watercolour and acrylic paintings to ab-

stract collage. The concept is based on exploring the two ways art is observed, Edwards explained.

“A lot of artwork exists on two very fragmented levels – there’s the conscious and unconscious, and it’s just very interesting to me,” he said, noting that the title breaks down into ‘notion,’ or ‘ideas,’ and ‘graphy,’ as in graphic art.

“It’s based on the idea of exploring the unconscious ocean of ideas that we all have.”

Edwards’ work has always had a strong animal presence, with many of his exhibits and books exploring animals as other animals, animals with human traits, and the intense beauty that exists naturally in the creatures of the earth. Notionography will continue to show this style, something Ed-

wards attributes to the instruction of a teacher in his days at art school, the demand for realistic animal renderings when he completed school, and his own innate fascination with animals.

“I have to say that I love animals, and I love drawing animals. They tend to be racially neutral and they often are gender neutral, so that allows animals to be a fun subject, especially in children’s books,” he said.

“And it’s sort of a nice elegant way to show human emotion through another creature.”

Notionography will be on display

at Studio 22 from Tuesday, Sept. 27 to Saturday, Nov. 5.

At the same time, Edwards will be launching a new book as part of Kingston WritersFest. Titled ‘What is Peace?’ the book began as an exploration of just that question for Edwards. While the book is aimed at school-aged children, it examines a

question that spans the ages, and incorporates Edwards’ artwork into a book that can be enjoyed by all ages.

To find out more about Notionography and the hours open for viewing at Studio 22, visit www.s22. ca. For more information on Edwards, go to www.wallace-edwardsart.com.

Wolfe Island planning in advance of improved ferry service

By Margaret Knott

Frontenac county’s Chief Administrative Officer, Kelly Pender, attended the September council meeting to present the results of council’s request that the County’s Planning Service provide a list of planning tools to ensure “that the existing character of Marysville is maintained and able to accommodate the expected growth of the village over the next twenty years.” CAO Pender congratulated council for its proactive approach to planning for the proposed Wolfe Island ferry service expansion and future growth. The Township is obligated to consider the impacts of a second ferry (75 car) improving transportation services.

“The report offers four basic options and the one with the most detail is Secondary Planning, (SP)” CAO Pender said. “It would give council the tools to make decisions knowing that the first premise of the Ontario Planning act is to reward councils that do pre-planning, thinks in advance and says, this in the kind of community we want. It very much discourages the acting and reacting approach to applications, so you are very much in a position if you consult widely and make decisions about what you want the community to look like before growth happens. SP’s used across Ontario provide the tools to amend your Official Plan (OPA) so that council and the community can determine growth ” CAO Pender pointed out other regulations citing the interim

control bylaw, or an H (holding) designation or expropriation. “all taking you to a study,” he said. With an SP the idea is that council in consultation with the community decides how growth will be accommodated. Maybe people want Marysville to remain as is, or in a larger sense looking at the Marysville and its boundaries you could probably triple its size over the next 20 years. Without a study you could be stuck with issues you hadn’t thought of, placing you at a disadvantage when faced with applications or presentations to the OMB. One way or another the Ontario government rewards those townships that do an SP in advance and consult widely with their community.”

The first phase of WI SP would include a data gathering consultative exercise to identify issues/ concerns/ project objectives and conclude with further public meetings that present policy options, based on the issues, leading to a proposal for the next phase, the development of a Secondary Plan. The SP in no way is intended to slow the process of the MTO Docking, ferry environmental assessment underway but to enhance the input for consideration. The township will submit a Seed Grant Funding Application to the Trillium Foundation to develop the Secondary Plan for Marysville.

2. Concerns Over Water Supply: WI resident Larry Bolton came forward to express his concerns and those of his neighbours regarding to the future use of Metal Craft Marine

building ( former Kraft plant), which, based on rumours he had heard, is being negotiated for sale to become the site for a beer making and water bottling facility. (It was known for a plentiful water supply). And it was water that was of concern to Bolton, whose home is in close proximity go the plant. “Water is our most precious resource,” he said. He fears that his own water supply and that of his neighbours would be at risk as a result, basing his concern on increasing climate change, this year’s extreme drought conditions, low water levels with wells running dry, a changing water table and no township waste/ water system. (All residents are serviced by wells (dug, drilled, shore) and water bought & brought over.

He pointed out that MOE requires a permit to take water and such permit has not been applied for. Note: An MOE permit required if water usage exceeds 50, 000 litres per day. Below that amount a permit from KFLA Heath Unit is required. Bolton called upon council to guard the plant’s natural water resource and advise property owners of any development which would impact their water supply. However, the township will investigate the criteria provided in the protocols as requested by the public.

3. Spring Craft Brewery Project: Mayor Doyle asked Island Grill owner Casey Fisher and Rene Ziegelmaier (Brew Master) to provide an overview of the WI Spring Craft Brewery Project.

Fisher , in final negotiations for the purchase of the

MetalCraft building ( with an artesian well), stated that the project does not include a water bottling facility at this time, “only beer.” To his knowledge the well only services that site and the water to be used for beer (predicted between 2,000 - 5,000 litres. per day)making is far less than the 50,000 litres a day use requiring an MOE permit “KFLA Health Unit will oversee water quality requirements and amounts used will be monitored and recorded,” he said. Committed to the WI community, Casey plans to hire locally “provided the expertise is there (3 for November) and local contractors if possible. Within the next few years I project employment could increase to 10-12.”

The bi-product from the beer

making process will go to farmers as cattle feed ; local honey will be used for mead and possibly local apples for cider. Currently the Grill uses Okee Farms produce and DeRuiters beef. The Brewery plans to sell locally in bars and beyond.. Mayor Doyle noted that with the information provided the project does not exceed water taking amounts requiring an MOE permit. The Brewery is seen as a good news project for the community.

Much more Council news next time..

Keep yourself, your property and your wallet safe this fall Kanetix, one of Canada’s oldest and leading online insurance shopping centres recently passed along some great and timely safe driving reminders as we all get back in the swing of fall commuting. With the return of the school year, driving safely takes on a

Got Events?

whole new level of importance as our urban streets become a lot more crowded with bus, cycling and pedestrian traffic. Rushed and unsafe driving may bring some unexpected financial burdens along with the more crucial aspect of putting the health and lives of fellow travelers at risk.

Kanetix VP Janine White sends along these tips to help keep bodies, property, and wallets safe.

Parking in a no parking zone.

A bad habit many of us are guilty of, we may do this to simply grab a coffee, or drop the kids off at school. But it’s more of a big deal than you think.

Parking tickets increased earlier this year, and blocking a lane of traffic or leaving your car where you shouldn’t could get you a $150 ticket, or worse, get your car towed.

D r i v i n g through crosswalks. As of this year, drivers trying to roll through crosswalks when pedestrians are attempting to

D A E R P S E TH

D R WO

cross or as soon as they are halfway through could face a maximum fine of $500 and three demerit points. That fine doubles in a community safety zone. This bad habit could increase your insurance policy by 15 per cent.

Dooring a cyclist. It’s important you always look before you exit your vehicle. Even if it’s not on purpose, dooring a cyclist can get you a maximum fine of $1,000 as well as three demerit points.

You may also end up with an atfault accident if your vehicle is damaged and the cyclist is hurt.

The accident and the ticket could lead to a 50 per cent increase on your insurance policy.

Texting at a red light or changing a song on your phone. Simply touching your phone or any electronic device that is separate from your car’s dashboard can get you a distracted driving ticket costing anywhere from $490 to $1,000 plus three demerit points upon conviction. The impact on your insurance policy would be 15 per cent.

Backing out of a driveway. If an incident happens while you’re in reverse, it’s always your fault.

Without accident forgiveness, something as small as backing into a garbage-can or running over a bike in the driveway can affect your insurance. And if you’ve caused a collision with on-coming

traffic, you can expect the financial impact to be quite severe.

These incidents could increase your policy by 50 per cent.

Speeding in a residential area.

Exceeding the speed limit even by 16 km/hour will get you three demerit points and fines that increase for each kilometre range that’s over the limit. If it’s found that something was distracting you – for example, you were playing with your phone or putting on makeup, you could also get a distracted driving ticket in addition to your speeding ticket. A speeding ticket can have 15 per cent effect on your insurance.

Distracted by children. Whether you’re focused on soothing the baby behind you or trying to get your kids to stop fighting in the back seat, if you aren’t paying attention to the road and an officer spots you, expect to get a ticket for distracted driving.

Auto industry news has been filled recently with announcements from just about every carmaker on the planet moving forward with autonomous or selfdriving vehicle projects. While an affordable mass-produced selfdriver may be a few years off, some warnings from traffic analysts should be noted for those drivers behind the wheels of some current tech-laden rides.

those equipped with lane-keeping warning or assist systems are completely reliant on good, clean, well-marked painted lane-lines on our roads for proper operation.

Most self-driving prototype vehicles will simply refuse to move if their various sensors and cameras can’t ‘see’ or sense clear distinct lane-makers on the road ahead.

But vehicles with lane-keeping features can still merrily roll along and drivers may be lulled into a false sense of security thinking their auto will let them know if their vehicle is drifting out of their lane. And while we should properly blame poor road maintenance practices for this problem, our Canadian winters can be equally at fault for covering lane-marks with ice and snow.

When life goes to the dogs good things happen January. During a blizzard. Balto wasn’t just one of the pack, he was one of the lead dogs of several dog sled teams working in relay to deliver anti-toxin to Nome through a raging storm.

The dog, a northern Husky-like sled dog, was himself named after Samuel Johannesen Balto, a Norwegian “Sami” (reindeer herder) who accompanied explorer Fritdjof Nansen As I walk one of my dogs, the one named on an expedition to Greenland in 1888.

In January 1925, a diphtheria epidemic Balto, in the morning, I am reminded that the depths of winter will be upon us sooner befell Nome. In those days, an anti-toxin than I’d like. Over the past couple of weeks, was the only way to fight this disease, which I’ve gone from wearing a light t-shirt to a caused excruciating pain and terror in warm flannel top. Today, the ultimate sign children and adults as they slowly suffocated of the doom of impending cold (I am not to death. For Nome, the salvation of serum a winter person) struck: my bare feet (in was 674 miles away. The port of Nome was sandals) were cold. When I returned home icebound. No ship was getting in. In the after an hour-plus walk, I discovered it was early days of aviation, no plane could travel through the treacherous weather that was seven degrees out there.

Balto won’t mind the snow and chilly developing. The nearest railhead was almost temperatures. He is designed for it. His 700 miles away.

Children and adults were becoming is a northern breed, Tamaskan, that I’ve quite ill in Nome. There were not yet any written about in the past. He is named after one of the most courageous dogs in North vaccinations for diphtheria. An anti-toxin American history. The original Balto helped serum could cure a patient with diphtheria.

Dr. Welch, the only physician within save the people of Nome, Alaska.

In August 1935 Will Rogers died in a hundreds of miles had no anti-toxin. The plane crash in Alaska. In the last column serum had been ordered, but failed to arrive he’d written, found in the wreckage, Rogers on the last ship in before the port had closed said: “The backbone of the arctic is a dog’s for the winter.

Ten years earlier, a statue dedicated to serum, diptheria killed many of its victims. an arctic dog named Balto was erected in Parents watched as their children suffered Central Park in New York City. Balto was slow and painful deaths.

The diphtheria bacteria releases a toxin one of many dogs who helped save Nome in the middle of a diphtheria outbreak. In that initially makes its victims tired and

apathetic. Within two to five days, a fever develops and red ulcers develop in the throat and mouth. These ulcers thicken and expand and form a membrane of dead cells, blood clots and dead skin. The membrane expands throughout the mouth and throat and then down the windpipe. The victim turns a purplish blue as they slowly suffocate to death.

Today, a simple vaccine prevents diphtheria. In 1925, there was no such magic.

Prior to the development of an antitoxin in 1891, the mortality rate could reach nearly 100%. In addition, diphtheria is highly contagious, so the outcome for Nome and the surrounding territory was going to be devastating.

When life goes to the dogs good things happen Continued from page 3

Balto, who became the lead dog on the last segment of the serum trek, was born in 1919, but his owner, Leonhard Sepalla, did not consider him a good racing dog, so he had the dog neutered at about the age of six months.

Balto was not a fast dog and his “cut” was considered too boxy, with a barrel chest. But what Balto lacked in speed, he made up in strength and determination. Sepalla allowed another sled driver to work with Balto.

At times, temperatures dropped to -60 degrees Fahrenheit (-51 Celsius) and wind gusts hit 60 to 70 mph (100+ km per hour), strong enough to flip dog sleds. Add to that a blizzard that raged for days resulting in

zero visibility at a time of year when there was almost 24 hour darkness in the northern land and you start to see some super creature powers being required to make the trek.

Never mind cartoon superpowers. These were real dogs doing super-real feats.

Even, in the days long before the Internet, Twitter, Instagram and any other social media tools, Balto became a household name.

Newspapers around the world kept readers riveted as they monitored the progress of the sled dogs’ journey over several days.

Movies have been made about Balto. Many books have been written about him and the feats of he and his fellow canines.

I first learned about this magnificent

creature in Central Park, where a statue stands, dedicated to his heroic trek. Part of the inscription reads: “Endurance, fidelity and intelligence.”

The best report I’ve read on the serum trek came in Gay Salisbury and Laney Salisbury’s “The Cruelest Miles: The heroic story of dogs and men in a race against an epidemic.” The book, published in 2003, involved painstaking research. Even though the reader knows the outcome—the dogs saved the people of Nome and further afield—the book is a pageturning thriller. Page after page of detail on the gruelling trek keep the reader’s adrenalin flowing.

The raging blizzard became so intense that the dog sled relay had to be called off. But Klaasen did not receive the message to wait out the storm at the last checkpoint, 50 miles away from Nome. The last Klaasen had heard was that “Violent blizzard now on is delaying progress.” Winds at Port Stanley were blowing at 80 miles an hour, a near-hurricane of snow cut into everything. But phone lines went dead and Klaasen never received the message to halt the relay. Not that it would have made a difference. He was determined to get the serum to Nome, so he headed out in the storm, taking on the 50-mile last leg of the relay.

From The Cruelest Miles: “Kaasen could barely see 100 feet ahead of him. Balto lurched forward and tentatively polwed his way through the snow along the back of the ridge. He understood that he had to regain the trail….Balto kept his nose low to the ground, his ears flattened against his head

to keep out the wind, as he moved slowly over the snow….For more than an hour, the blowing snow had been so thick that Kaasen could not see the trail and could only guess at his position….He had given control of the team over to Balto and his job now was to hold on….”

Then the worst possible scenario happened.

The storm blew the sled over. When Kaasen got it upright, the serum was no longer on the sled. He had to search through a drift (in the dark) to find the box with the serum, get it back on the sled and keep moving.”

Balto, leading the sled driven by Gunnar Kaasen, arrived in Nome on February 2, 1925. According to the Salisbury authors: “Witnesses to this drama said they saw Kaasen stagger off the sled and stumble up to Balto, where he collapsed, muttering: ‘Damn fine dog.’” Which must have been the understatement of the year 1925.

Balto and the other sled dogs had saved the people of Nome and the serum the dogs delivered was able to quell the diptheria epidemic.

Balto died in 1933 under the care of Dr. Powell of the Cleveland Brookside Zoo. That is a long-winded explanation of how the newest dog to enter my family’s life, a northern breed called Tamaskan, got his name, Balto. And on those early morning walks, I hope that my Balto never has to trek with me through a blizzard like the Balto of 1925.

for funds to help ensure area students have access to programs at Gould Lake regardless of financial constraints.

The goal is to complete the journey in under 40 hours, and this year the dozen paddlers did so in just under 30 hours.

News – What makes a dozen people grab a 25foot canoe and embark on a non-stop journey from Kingston to Ottawa, navigating through the night to arrive at our nation’s capital?

Continued on page 7 The love and commitment they all have for outdoor education and the local youth who benefit from it, according to Lauren Hanley, organizer of the Storm the Hill paddle that covered exactly that route.

Hanley is a member of Friends of Outreach, a charitable trust formed in 1996 in order to raise funds to offset the costs of programs offered through the Gould Lake Outdoor Centre for students. For the fifth year in a row, Friends of Outreach have completed the Storm (left to right) Allie McIntyre, Bryan Muscedere, Katie McIntyre, the Hill paddle, which covers Trevor Witjes, Lyndsay Segee, Haley Segee, Lauren Hanley, Mi150 kilometers, in order to chael Hanley, ClaraTroje, Caroline Bond, Ben Perry, and Adair raise funds for that cause, as Sugrue all participated in the 150km paddle and trek from well as awareness of the need Kingston to Ottawa known as Storm the Hill.

Kingston-to-Ottawa Canoe fundraiser brings in over $10,000 to help area students participate in outdoor education Continued from page 6

“The reason we do this is for the students. Our programs are run through the Limestone District School Board, and they’re subsidized by the school board, but they’re still pretty pricey. They range from $200 up to $2,000, and not a lot of students can afford that,” said Hanley, who works full time at the Gould Lake Outdoor Centre and completed all of the programs through the Centre while she was in school.

“So we offer funding for students that can’t fi nancially come to our programs so that they are able to, and there are no barriers for them financially.”

This past year alone, over 500 students attended the programs at Gould Lake, with 30 of those students receiving the financial aid to do so through Friends of Outreach. The programs are open to students from grade 7 to grade 12, and offer courses in all levels of outdoor skills such as canoeing, portaging, navigating, camping, cooking, kayaking and more.

Five years ago, Friends of Outreach decided to change their fundraising initiative from a paddlea-thon in Algonquin Park to the Storm the Hill canoe trek because they felt their students would be better able to relate and understand the Kingstonto-Ottawa trip and just how large it is, Hanley explained. Since doing so, their fundraising efforts

have proven more fruitful year after year – funds raised five years ago topped out around $2,000, and this year Storm the Hill raised $10,575 as of this week, with donations still trickling in.

For Hanley and the 11 others who took on the Storm the Hill journey – all of whom completed all of the programs offered through Gould Lake Outdoor Centre as kids and teens – knowing more area students will benefit from the funds raised is well worth the gruelling paddle and trek.

“These programs offer students a complete experience that I don’t even know how to explain.

It gives them the opportunity to do so many things that they wouldn’t do without going through Gould Lake,” said Hanley, who points to the portage through a small town with a giant canoe at 3 a.m. as perhaps the most challenging aspect of the journey.

“For me, the programs got me to become a leader, and be more involved and outspoken… it got me out of my comfort zone a little bit, which is great, and then it also created a career for me,” she said.

“It’s been a real life changer for me, and it’s very close to my heart.”

Friends of Outreach is open all year and accepts donations at any time to help more students experience the programs at Gould Lake. To find out more or make a contribution, visit outed.limestone. on.ca and click on ‘Friends of Outreach.’

in his New York City home for the past two years. There’s never a visit when our chats have not been interrupted with phone calls or drop-in visitors. One day we sat chatting and the phone rang. It sounded like Nat was speaking fondly with a student. Turned out it was one of the lead actors in Broadway’s An American in Paris, who had trained with Nat years earlier.

Sadly, one of his closest friends recently died.

“He was my last peer,” said Nat. “I have no one connecting me with Virginia now.” These kinds of losses come regularly to one who is almost 90 years of age. The nearby community becomes that much more important as the years pass.

One of my closest friends throughout my life is a lawyer. We recently talked about the concept of retirement. Neither of us ever plans on retiring. Why stop doing something you love?

Writing in Psychology Today, Dr. Ken Eisold noted: “Work is what we do in this world—and not working is a kind of exile, a form of social irrelevance. For better or worse, it is the way most of us find meaning in our world.”

Dr. Mark Stibich, writing last year in Healthy Living, looked at the concept of retirement in different areas of the world. In Greece, retirees (in a study of 16,827 men) had a 51% increase in their risk of death. But, noted Stibich, in places like Okinawa and Vilcabamba (Ecuador), where people are healthy and active in old age, they tend to live into their 90s. In these cultures, the elderly may walk several miles a day in addition to gardening and caring for great-grandchildren.

“What matters for your health is what you are doing to your body and mind,” wrote Stibich.

“If you retire and sit around all day, your health will deteriorate. If you retire and hit the gym

while eating tons of fruit and vegetables, your health will improve. People who are working can have terrible health if they sit around all day and stress out, so forget about whether retirement is healthy or not—look at your daily habits and decide which ones need some improvement.”

What are healthy habits?

Humans need to exercise daily. Develop an exercise routine that builds strength, stamina and flexibility. Walk, dance, climb hills.

Watch what you eat. Make sure to eat several servings of fruit and vegetables daily, and the fresher the food, the healthier it tends to be you.

If the source of all of your vegetables is a can or plastic container, you are getting far fewer nutrients than if you’re eating fresh produce.

Is your brain getting exercise, too? Find ways to fascinate yourself and stimulate your brain.

Learn a new language, do crosswords, learn to play a new musical instrument, and perform activities that require your memory to work.

Are you relaxing? If not, find some way to do so. Meditate. Try yoga. Study the martial arts.

Walk. Chant. Sing. Make sure you are getting enough sleep (humans need between seven and nine hours a night).

Develop relationships. Volunteer your time.

Many social agencies need lots of volunteer hours. Nurture your family and social relationships. Join Kingston’s Seniors Centre and take part in their programs and activities.

It’s not really retirement that kills people; it’s what they do when they retire that makes the difference.
