Council hires investigator to examine conflict concerns over condo vote By Bill Hutchins

Push for Change makes a stop in Kingston Joe Roberts chats with supporters during his arrival in Kingston, Oct. 6. Roberts is on a 9,000 km, 17 month journey pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise awareness and put an end to youth homelessness. He started the trek on May 1, 2016 in St. John’s Newfoundland and will end in Vancouver on Sept. 30, 2017. During his two days in the limestone city, Roberts met with youth at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, spoke during a community luncheon at the Ambassador Hotel & Conference Centre and toured local agencies that work to serve youth homelessness in KFL&A. Kingston events were sponsored by Cushman & Wakefield Continued on page 7 Kingston, coordinated by United Way of KFL&A Rob Mooy/

News – For the second time in a year, city councillors will hire an integrity commissioner to probe the conduct of one of their own. Council voted 13-0 to appoint an independent investigator to look into whether Coun. Adam Candon contravened the city’s Code of Conduct by participating in the debate and vote for the controversial Capitol condominium hi-rise. “I have absolutely nothing to hide,” said the frustrated first-term councillor, who also had a hand in crafting the integrity motion. The hiring decision followed weeks of suggestions that the Trillium district councillor, who works as a real estate agent, may have had a conflict-of-interest because his business was attached to a now-defunct commercial website that had links to the downtown hi-rise. Several citizens first raised concerns about his potential conflict in August. Coun. Candon sought his own legal advice just prior to the September 20 vote that resulted in a slim 7-6 approval for the project. He maintains he has no financial interest in the notyet-constructed building because he has not pre-sold any condo units, does

not know the builder, and never had a contractual agreement to market the project. “I was under the assumption I didn’t have a conflict-of-interest,” he asserted. Mayor Bryan Paterson, who introduced the fact-finding motion Oct. 4, says the integrity of council is paramount. “We need to remove any lingering questions about potential conflict.” The mayor also noted that, technically, the issue should’ve been decided in closed session because it concerns an identifiable individual. But, he says given the fact that public confidence must be restored in the political process, he consulted with the city’s clerk and legal department in order to clear the motion for an open debate. “I support Councillor Candon’s right to support an investigation into his own actions.” However, even the motion to launch an integrity probe was questioned by some community members, noting it’s a strange move for the subject councillor to have a hand in drafting the terms of reference to investigate himself.

Council hires investigator to examine conflict concerns over condo vote “It’s just not appropriate for him to second a motion that pertains to the investigation of his actions however lily white they might be – and that’s yet to be determined,” said Christine Sypnowich with the group, Coalition of Kingston Communities. She addressed council prior to the vote about the “acute” integrity problem that’s facing civic leaders. While supporting efforts to hire an integrity commissioner, she noted that it comes too late to possibly undo the controversial condo vote. Without Coun. Candon’s vote, the 15-storey hi-rise

application would’ve lost on a 6-6 tie. “The city’s reputation is already badly damaged,” Sypnowich added. Other councillors sympathized with Candon’s situation, and Coun. Liz Schell called the whole situation “extremely unsettling.” “This is a dreadful situation,” she said, adding: “I’m glad it’s going to be out in the open.” It’s not known who will be hired to be the integrity commissioner, how long the investigation will take or at what cost, but city officials say that person will have the power to investigate Coun. Candon’s actions, any relevant information from the public, and to report the findings to council in open session. Penalties for breaching the city’s Code, which governs the conduct of elected officials and has been described as outdated, can range from a reprimand to the docking of pay.

City donates $6.5 million to support local hospital campaign By Bill Hutchins

News – Kingston hospitals can count on another hefty donation from city coffers. Councillors voted 9-2 to give the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) a $6.5 million grant to be spread over the next five years. The money will help purchase a variety of new hospital equipment. “This is an opportunity we can’t pass up,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. The mayor says the city’s grant, in support of the foundation’s latest com-

munity capital fundraising campaign, will leverage another $500 million from the province for the ongoing modernization of Kingston’s three hospitals; Kingston General, Hotel Dieu and Providence Care. A delegation from UHKF appeared before council Oct. 4 to make a pitch for municipal tax support, adding it will benefi t local residents who need hospital care. “We are so lucky in Kingston to have these great hospitals. How can you say as a city we’re not prepared to commit to it?” said local businesswoman PengSang Cau, who’s also a member of the Next issue: NOV 5/16

KGH board of directors. The city’s contribution will be earmarked for neo-natal intensive care, research labs, automation and other equipment. Kingston General also has some of the oldest operating rooms in Ontario. Some of them opened in the 1950s and need to be modernized to today’s standards. Under a long-established Ontario funding formula, communities are asked to contribute a percentage of funding to cover hospital equipment and infrastructure costs in order to be eligible for extra provincial health care capital and operating dollars. This cost-sharing continues to rankle some councillors who argue that funding any amount of provincial health care should not be a municipal responsibility. SAVE $1 “This is downloading,” said Coun. Mary Rita Holland, one of two to vote against the hospital grant. “It’s not our jurisdiction.” She says the SAVE $3 city’s latest hospiLook inside for amazing savings!

Campaign officials reminded council that there continues to be a huge return on municipal investments, pointing to recent improvements such as the expansion of the cancer care centre and KGH’s intensive care unit, new dialysis and pediatric units, and the new Providence Care Hospital, which is set to open in April 2017. In addition, the investments help attract top notch medical professionals. “I think it’s something people don’t appreciate. We must continue to invest in infrastructure and equipment,” said Cau. The health care sector is also a major employer with over 6,600 jobs in the Kingston-area. UHKF officials say they will continue to lobby other communities whose residents use Kingston hospitals, from Brockville and Belleville to Smiths Falls, as part of a “fair share” funding strategy. “We’ve had a very good reception in the communities we’ve spoken to showing them the number of patients from their communities that use our three hospitals,” said Susan Creasy, chair of the current fundraising campaign. Councillors Peter Stroud and Lisa Osanic, both employed in the health care sector, declared potential conflicts of interest and did not take part in the hospital donation vote.

tal contribution - $1.3 million in each of the next fi ve years starting in 2017 – could be better spent on municipal priorities such as public transit and affordable housing. Coun. Jim Neill, the other council opponent, also chastised upper levels of government for “abandoning” their role in health care support. “I’m not sure I was elected by constituents to decide how they should spend charitable dollars.” Coun. Neill is also concerned the city will never be free of funding future hospital fundraising campaigns. The city is just fi nishing up a $16 million pledge to UHKF with annual payments made since 2008. “What we are looking at is a permanent budget line.” The ‘Yes We Can’ fundraising campaign, launched in 2015, aims to raise $65 million by the year 2020. So far, the campaign has brought in $44.5 million, or 68 percent of its goal, not including the city’s investment. “There will always be a need for some investment but maybe not at the magnitude we’re seeing today,” explained Cau. Mayor Paterson says the city has to follow the “rules of the game” determined by the province, or watch extra health care dollars transferred to hospitals in other communities. “You can argue about the rules of the game but they are what they are.”

Goodbye KEDCO name, but rebranded ‘EDO’ to remain a separate corporation By Bill Hutchins

News – The long, complex and often divisive process of changing the face of KEDCO is moving ahead. Councillors approved creating two stand-alone companies next year to manage the city’s $2.7 million a year tax-funded economic development and tourism operations. But they wanted more checks and balances before officially adopting the restructuring plan. It was presented by

staff Oct. 4, and based on a review committee’s recommendations last June. Coun. Peter Stroud amended the document to include the creation of a four-member temporary working group – comprised of the city treasurer, the city’s auditing firm KPMG, a representative from the Queen’s School of Business and an appointed citizen – to review the economic development agency’s performance in 2017. “We need to know our $2.7 million to this agency is used in a very cost-effective manner,” he said. Council voted 9-3 to create the independent watchdog group, with Mayor Bryan Paterson and councillors Richard Allen and Laura Turner opposed. Coun. Jim Neill spoke in favour of the extra layer of oversight in order to give the community more reassurance. “There’s a

perception in the community there needs to be a greater degree of accountability.” Coun. Stroud initially wanted to place the new-look economic development agency under a “probationary” term, but the city solicitor said that such a status would have no legal significance in its mandate as a stand-alone corporation. The economic development arm will remain separately governed as a nonprofi t corporation with a board of directors, and not placed under council’s direct control. The same scenario will apply to Tourism Kingston. However, both arm’s length boards will continue to have appointed councillors. CAO Gerard Hunt will also be appointed as an ex-officio non-voting member of the economic development board, and deputy CAO Lanie Hurdle will serve in the same capacity on the tourism board. “Each corporation is to seek other potential sources of funding, have its books audited annually and provide a detailed financial report to the City each year,” according to CAO Hunt. The separate economic development and tourism corporations are set to launch January 1, 2017. The CAO’s report says dissolving KEDCO’s current

corporate structure would be too cumbersome, and it’s simpler to amend the existing corporation to clarify the role of economic development while creating a spinoff corporation for tourism. “A dissolution of a corporation is a major undertaking,” said Hunt, adding it would involve untangling KEDCO’s current obligations, liabilities, assets and accounts. Councillors also approved Service Level Agreements for each of the revised KEDCO and newly-formed tourism corporations to “address such matters as transparency, reporting and accountability, performance measurement and financial operations.” The service agreements, lasting for a three year term, are designed to tie municipal tax support to a performancebased model. To that end, the two corporations must provide quarterly and annual reports and strategic plans to council. When it comes to measuring their success at such things as attracting more jobs, investment or tourists, both companies will also have one year to provide a new set of performance metrics that are “specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based.” Some councillors argued that it’s diffi cult for the new oversight group to undertake a review without first hav-

ing the new metrics in place. Hunt says the revised governance structure can always be changed if councillors are unhappy with the results, adding politicians continue to hold the purse strings. “At the end of the day the board needs money from council.” Mayor Paterson hailed the revamped governance and accountability structure. “We’ve moved to a whole new model.” The economic development model will have five core responsibilities: investment attraction and investment aftercare; business retention and expansion; support for small business and entrepreneurs; support for workforce development, jobs and skills-building; and support for knowledge industries, young workers, technology transfer from postsecondary institutions and incubation/ innovation enablement. The KEDCO name is also set to disappear with the changes. The new agency has been rebranded as EDO - the Economic Development Organization – and is expected to relocate from Innovation Park into a higherprofile offi ce location in the downtown area. The changes - KEDCO’s biggest overhaul since it was created in 1998 – stem from a committee’s review of its embattled governance and operating structure.

Consider this: When my mother still lived on Wolfe Island and driving across Lake Ontario to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get to townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was still the norm, there were people discussing the need for a third crossing. That was in the 70s, and more than three decades laterâ&#x20AC;Ś weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still discussing it. At some point, we have to take a step back and ask ourselves if something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opposed to will actually harm the city and community. If it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, apart from what the view will be downtown or the financial impact it may have on our ability to take on other projects, I say we let it happen. Progress and innovation should be a priority for a city that is home to three exemplary post-secondary institutions, and one that prides itself on being sustainable. Or we could discuss each and every thing further, and, one day, my children, too, can recall just how long it took us to decide to do the things we always knew we had to in order to remain a vibrant, thriving city. The problem is: That choice is all of ours.

Cross your heart, not your fingers: Buckle Up As part of the Ministry of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (MTO) annual Seatbelt Campaign, held from Sept. 28 to Oct. 7 this year, Kingston: Partners for a Safe Community (KPSC) held two checkpoints in Kingston on Thursday, Oct. 6 to check to see if Kingston drivers and passengers were wearing their seatbelts and were wearing them properly. During the two-hour period, 3530 drivers and passengers were observed, passing through the busy city intersections. Of that group, 96 people (2.7 per cent) were observed to not be wearing their seatbelts. According to data from the OPP, there have been 347 deaths in the past five years caused by drivers and passengers not doing up their seatbelts. Over the same period, males ages 25-34 accounted for the highest number of seatbelt-related deaths. Women in the same age group accounted for the highest number of deaths among female victims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year, our offi cers tend to crash victims of all ages who are not buckled in at the time of the collision. More often than not, they die as a result of being ejected, partially ejected or from the physical trauma they sustained inside the vehicle,â&#x20AC;? said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support at the beginning of the Seatbelt Campaign in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, our officers have also witnessed numerous victims survive their ordeal as a result of being restrained in their seat. Every life is worth the five seconds it takes to buckle up.â&#x20AC;? The penalty for non-seatbelt compliance under the Highway Traffic Act is a fine up to $1,000 and two licence demerit points. The driver is also responsible for the securing of all passengers under the age of 16. There is no excuse not to buckle up. As pointed out it takes five seconds, or less, to fasten a seatbelt and those five seconds can potentially safe your own life or the lives of others. So to those 96 people in Kingston, we know you can do better. Hopefully next year you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be included in these stats.

Living with and adapting to Emerald Ash Borer in Kingston and North America Jeff Scott THE COUNTRYSIDE VIEW The Emerald Ash Borer is a pretty little bright green beetle native to China where it has lived on ash trees forever without being a problem. It has since hitch hiked to North America on wooden pallets to become a terrible, destructive pest. With no natural enemies, the Emerald Ash Borer quickly spread out from Michigan to threaten all of the continents native ash trees. We assisted its rapid spread by transporting it around on firewood and on our vehicles. To put the danger into perspective, about ten percent of our trees are ash. The United States estimates that they have about eight billion ash trees with an economic value of $280 billion. We can see the dead trees throughout Ontario along the 401, which shows just how far this pest has gone. The Emerald Ash Beetle causes its destruction by boring under the bark of the ash tree and laying its eggs. The young beetles munch away on the living tissue, which makes it impossible for the tree to transport nutrients from the roots to the leaves and the branches die. The adult beetle emerges from the tree and flies off to breed and cause more destruction. This beetle has definitely been destructive, but there is hope that we can have it adapt to being part

of the natural landscape. The biggest problem is that we have spread this beetle around so far and quickly that the natural world has not been able to deal with it. Finally, the battle has been engaged by the United States Forestry Service, which has been doing a lot of research on the beetle ever since it showed up in Michigan fifteen years ago. The researchers have gone to China and they have found three natural predators of the beetle. These are parasitic wasps, which lay their eggs on the beetle with the young emerging and eating their host. They have done extensive research on these wasps and they have determined that they will not affect native beetles and that they will survive our winters. They have now built a mass rearing facility in Michigan to produce huge numbers of these wasps and they have released them at infested sites. We are still waiting to find out how successful they are. There have been some surprising predators emerging in the natural environment here though. There have been several local parasitic wasps that have taken a liking to the beetle. They are taking their time about it but it seems that the word is spreading that there is new food around, but so far the beetle has spread far beyond them. They will catch up though. One of the better adaptations is that woodpeckers and nuthatches have also taken a shining to the pretty beetle. In areas with the worst outbreaks they have found

a significant increase in the numbers of these birds. These were not migrant birds that flew in for a feast, but local birds who started to feed their young this new found food with a small population explosion of woodpeckers and nuthatches. The birds aren’t eating all of the beetle’s larvae, but they are getting about 15 per cent of them. Finally, there is the ash tree’s natural resilience. These are a “live fast, die young” tree. They grow quickly and they produce huge numbers of seeds that spread far and wide on the wind with many seedlings to fill spaces left by dying trees. As such, Ash trees quickly replace the dead trees with many new saplings. The borer attacks the tree by getting under the trees bark and choking off the upper branches. This does not necessarily kill the tree. There are now many examples where the tree sends out new shoots from its base or from the recently cut stumps. As such, the tree often survives on the existing roots and quickly sends up suckers. The results are not pretty but there is a new tree growing. What we need to do is to help the natural world adapt to the Emerald Ash Borer. We need to introduce parasites, nurture native parasites, and assist the woodpeckers and finally, we need to help along recovering ash trees. If we do all of this we will soon have our ash forests back and a new pretty beetle that many locals will find to be a delicacy.

Disclosing KEDCO’s financial history comes with big price, local group learns By Bill Hutchins

doing, Friends members say a careful review of the fi nancial information could help KEDCO learn from any mistakes of the past when it comes to attracting new jobs and investment. And, it seems their patience is wearing thin. “We’re going to force that information to become public,” Donovan said in an interview. But getting that financial information could come with a huge price tag. KEDCO’s legal firm, Cunningham Swan, has sent a letter to the Friends of Kingston that lays out in clear and costly detail what it will take to get a closer look at the books.

It would cost $42,063 to research the information and make copies for the citizens group. But KEDCO is willing to waive the $5 access to information application fee, according to the 8-page reply. “Given the number of records that will need to be located, prepared and copied, KEDCO will need to hire someone to perform these functions. The sheer enormity of the task precludes it from being done with KEDCO’s current staffing levels,” said the Oct. 4 letter signed by Andrea Risk. The access to information request spans the previous six years, and includes; detailed records in support of KEDCO’s expenditures, vendors and consul24 Hour “Warm” Service tants obtained by KEDCO and the services provided, how the firms were selected, business expense accounts of staff, business travel, and all corporate credit card statements.

There was a (committee) review that didn’t review anything,” said Kim Donovan with Friends of Kingston. The group has been pressing KEDCO for over a year to publicly disclose detailed information, mainly surrounding its spending of tax money, between 2010 and 2015.

Dine out to help others eat well tstafford@metroland.com

Events – It’s perhaps one of the nicest and easiest win-win fundraising campaigns you can imagine: all you have to do is go out for dinner. Restaurants for Change, an initiative launched by Community Food Centres Canada (CFCC), currently in its third year, is a fundraising campaign, taking place on one evening, in 15 cities across the province. With over 65 restaurants participating, the goal is to raise funds to provide healthy food and food programs in those communities that need them most. The participating restaurants donate all of the proceeds from food sales from one night: Wednesday, Oct. 19. Here in Kingston, Le Chien Noir is inviting local diners to round up their friends or book themselves a dinner date in order to raise funds and awareness for food security. “The big thing is that this is a national issue in terms of access to quality food and fresh, nutritious food,” said Tim Pater, owner of Le Chien Noir, which is now participating for its second year. “It’s a local and national issue. There are huge food deserts in Kingston where people do not have access to good, nutritious, quality food, and a big part of it is education.” Pater explained that many people, regardless of socio-economic background, remain uneducated on how to choose, prepare and cook with whole, raw foods. Sadly, the money spent on these types of products tends to stretch further, but knowing how to make that happen is a big part of the issue, he expressed. “It’s about knowing what to buy, and a lot of people don’t understand that,” he said, noting just how lucky he and many others are to be located

close to a farmers’ market and see fresh produce and meats being prepared and served daily within the local restaurant culture. “People head straight for the processed food aisles when they should be heading more towards the legumes and grains and whole foods and beans and things like that, which

can stretch a lot further and are much better for you.” Le Chien Noir raised several thousand dollars during the event last year, and hopes to do the same again this year. Although the money raised won’t go directly to local food access programs, CFCC has supported Kingston’s The Loving Spoonful with resources for food education, as well as through the work the organization does to bring national attention to food access issues. “Community Food Centres Canada is more than just the

skills that they teach in their kitchens and the healthy food they provide access to, it’s also about elevating that whole conversation so that we start changing our minds about what it is that people need in their lives to thrive,” said Mara Shaw, executive director of The Loving Spoonful, who voiced support of the Restaurants for Change initiative. “For all of the organizations like ours, we’re working locally, and that’s exactly where we should be, but they’re taking all of that work and giving it a national push so that we get to the point where we stop saying things like ‘Beggars can’t be choosers.’ Until we get to a point where everybody has got access to the healthy food they need, our society is not what it could be.”

Just outside of Kingston, The Drake Devonshire in Wellington is also participating in this year’s Restaurants for Change event. And with one in 12 households in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington area unsure if they’ll have enough food for the next week or month (according to Public Health KFL&A), there’s no better reason to go out for a delicious, quality meal in the hopes all Canadians will one day be able to do the same in their own home. “I don’t think this issue is going to go away as soon as we would all like it to,” said Pater. “We’re happy to participate in Restaurants for Change, and happy to raise awareness that there is a huge inequality in terms of access to good foods.”

Lapidary club polishes up for annual gem and mineral show By Rob Mooy

News - There are treasures right beneath our feet; next time you go for a walk, stop, glance down, what you find might just be the foundation of an incredible piece of jewelry. Anyone who has ever picked up a rounded pebble, a curiously shaped rock or sparkling gem and handled it with wonder, knows the urge to collect - to examine and enjoy later. What is it? How was it made? Is it valuable? Can I create something from it? Kingstonians can unearth these nuggets of information and more at Gem Storm, the 47th annual gem and mineral show, hosted by the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club (KLMC), at the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 15 to 16. Organizers say this year’s show and sale should prove to be one of the best gem and mineral shows ever. In addition to thousands of colourful rocks, minerals and fossils, many club members and exhibitors will be showing and selling unique jewelry pieces. “We will have dealers from all over Ontario and Quebec, many of them KLMC members, selling an excellent selection of crystals, minerals, oneof-a-kind jewellery pieces, facetted stones, fossils, or unique carvings,” explains Eileen Moss, club vice-president. “Gem Storm is one of my favourite shows. It is like a huge family gathering that happens once a year.

We get to meet and greet dealers and returning and new customers.” According to Moss, the show provides an excellent opportunity to meet KLMC instructors and members who create wonderful jewelry items, or collect and sell mineral specimens. The show also hosts a children’s mine, stocked with lots of great specimens ready for collecting by young rock hounds. It is a perennial favourite and young geologists can experience the thrill of the hunt, digging around in a mine, excited to find their own special rock; one they will treasure for years to come. “We have over 2,400 adults and children attend Gem Storm every year,” says Moss. “It’s a yearly event that lets them add specimens or crystals to their collection, buy those one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces direct from the artist, or buy those special items that are only available at this show. It’s a chance to touch and feel real treasures from the Earth” These days, the club numbers some 275 adult and family memberships, aging from one year to 85 years. It is very family oriented with lots to do for all age groups. Their junior program, for ages eight to 12, encourages youngsters to learn about rocks, minerals and crystals in a hands-on approach. Family oriented field trips are held from May through October to collect minerals and crystals from a variety of locales.

Whether you’re a geologist or not, the rocks and minerals that come out of the ground are absolutely beautiful, they have fascinating patterns and every one of them is unique – it’s like nature’s works of art. Long time member and the club’s field trip coordinator, Corey Lablans, who has been a member since he was six years old, knows all to well the excitement of the hunt. “My mom actually got me into the club when I was younger. It was amazing being outdoors and being able to dig into the mud, using shovels and sledgehammers, breaking up rock looking for hidden gems,” he said. “It’s fascinating when you are digging into the soil, or breaking into the rock, and you suddenly unearth this crystal - or if you are a fossil collector you suddenly come across this animal which used to exist. Just think, you are the first person to see this crystal which formed about a billion years ago and it’s amazing.” Lablans has followed his passion and today, some twenty years later, has recently graduated from Queen’s University with a Bachelor of Sci-

ence Honours in Geological Science. The young geologist loves to come back to his geological roots and share what he’s learned with members of the club, especially leading group excursions. This year he’ll be at the children’s mine. Show organizers say this year’s show will be a very family oriented show and have attempted to represent every aspect of the hobby in the dealer selection featuring many lapidary related items, great minerals, gemstones, beads, carvings, paintings, jewelry, fossils and crystals. Junior member Ailsa Kerr, 9, who has been collecting as long as she’s been able to walk, is looking forward to checking out the show. “I just love rocks,” she says. “They are so interesting, I learned all about them listening to my dad (who is a geologist).

We have always had a whole bunch of rocks in the garage and I loved looking at all the crystals. All the shapes and all the colours are amazing.” The young enthusiast can’t wait to add some new geodes to her collection. “I love breaking them open to see what’s hidden inside.” “Everyone who finds out about and goes to Gem Storm loves Gem Storm,” adds Moss. “To see it, is to fall in love with it. It’s nature at its best. It has something for everyone.” Gem Storm runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday Oct. 16. Admission is $3 per person, children under 12 free when accompanied by a paying adult. To learn more about the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club visit www.mineralclub.ca.

New symbol aims to raise awareness of the presence and needs of those with low vision By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

Event – When it comes to identifying those with blindness or partial blindness, there is nothing more recognizable than the white cane, but that’s something one Ontarian and many of her supporters are trying to change. The Checkered Eye Project, started by Libby Thaw of Saugeen Shores, Ontario, is an ongoing awareness campaign aimed at increasing the understanding of people with limited vision. The campaign revolves around the Checkered Eye symbol, which the project encourages those with low vision to wear so that others can identify them – both those with 20/20 vision, so that they can better interact with and understand those with low vision, and for others with low vision, so that they can connect and better communicate with one another. Those with the Project encourage those in the service industry to understand what the easily-identifiable symbol means, so that the visuallyimpaired community can be identified and better served, something Michelle Libby, a Checkered Eye Project team member here in Kingston, explained in an email to The Kingston Heritage. “Businesses can train their staff to ‘Check for the Checkered Eye’ as part

of their disability access training,” Libby said. “Restaurants can offer large print and Braille menus, they can convey menu specials verbally, and can mark bills as clearly as possible. Cashiers can read totals for customers with low vision. If forms are required, staff can ask low vision customers if they need help.” Libby is spearheading The Checkered Eye Project and its awareness in Kingston, and notes that this campaign spans both the country and the globe. She pointed out the many issues people with low vision can face, and the many ways wearing the symbol can help them. “People with Low Vision come from all walks of life and have conditions in which their vision cannot be corrected to the level of average (20/20) with regular glasses or contact lenses. This decreases their ability to carry out dayto-day activities like shopping, reading, recognizing people or places, and independent travel. For many people it would be considered a hidden disability, making the need for visual assistance not readily apparent,” Libby said, noting that wearing a Checkered Eye pin is reserved only for those with low vision or partial blindness, so as not to confuse the Project’s objective. “Wearing this symbol communi-

cates to store or restaurant staff that you have visual difficulties, it can discretely inform people of your low vision in social situations, and can make face to face interactions more comfortable for everyone involved.” As part of Libby’s efforts to raise awareness locally, The Checkered Eye will host their first information booth in Kingston at the Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness. Additionally, she advises Kingstonians to visit the Project’s website to learn more about the effects of low vision, the symbol, where to get pins and how to join the Project. “The purpose of the project is to increase understanding and create better communication between people with limited vision and those with whom they interact, particularly in consumer and social situations,” she said. “Sighted people are asked to help spread awareness of The Checkered Eye symbol. Common courtesy is often all that is necessary [to help those with low vision,] and sensitivity to special needs is always appreciated. The Checkered Eye Project’s information both will be at the Katarokwi Indigenous Day of Wellness from 1 to 7 p.m. at the K Kingston Community Health Centre. To learn more about the project, visit www.checkeredeye.com.

The Checkered Eye symbol, pictured here, may be worn by people with many levels of visual impairment to communicate the fact that they have impaired vision. The symbol is intended to increase understanding of low vision, and increase communication between those with limited vision and the people they interact with.

STANDING IN OUR FIELD

Long Road Eco Farm offers something unique and delicious By Aric McBay

Xiaobing Shen and Jonathan Davies took an unusual path to become ecological farmers north of Kingston. Xiaobing spent his early years in a village in rural China. His mother was a peasant. His partner Jonathan grew up in southern Alberta. The two of them met in Calgary, where Xiaobing had gone to do his Master’s degree and together they spent time in Munich, Germany, before moving to Toronto. But they weren’t happy with Toronto or the daily grind of city life; part of it was the food. “Where I grew up, the pork was so delicious,” explains Xiaobing. He assumed that pig breeds in Canada were just different until he tried some organic pork and realized it had the same flavour as back home. “It’s how the pig was raised,” he realized. In Toronto, they started gardening, and watched documentaries about the industrial food system. But their garden in Toronto was so far away they had to commute to it, which made moving to a farm seem appealing. “Other young people were doing it, too,” says Jonathan. “And they

seemed like sensible people, doing it for good reasons. It seemed like more people should be trying this.” Both were attracted to the ideas of freedom, independence, and being your own boss, but Xiaobing wasn’t convinced immediately. “I knew farming was hard,” he says. When Xiaobing told his family in China that he was going to become a farmer, they thought he was joking. “They never thought I wanted to go back to farming.” Jonathan’s family pictured a sprawling Alberta-style crop farm with giant combines. Instead, the farm they purchased on Highway 38 just north of Kingston, is comparatively cozy, with a large garden, a greenhouse, and roaming poultry. They converted an existing swimming pool into a cistern, and use it to water their garden. In their first spring on the farm they started going to a farmers’ market, but their garden wasn’t in full production yet. So Xiaobing decided to prepare some Chinese peasant food and bring that to the market. Their “farm sum” became quite popular. Xiaobing makes four flavours of

steamed bun, a dumpling stuffed with pork, vegetables, tofu, or a sweet bean filling. “There’s something special about steamed buns,” says Xiaobing. I can attest to that: the steamed buns are delicious either freshly steamed or reheated. (I like to reheat them by gently frying them with a bit of butter.) They also offer fermented vegetables and a chili sesame oil, as well as a delicious fermented tofu or “soy cheese.” Their tofu is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, in part because it really does resemble cheese. The consistency is a bit like Brie, and the strongly fermented flavour reminds me of a blue cheese. It also has a spicy chili coating. I can’t think of anything similar in European traditions, and just describing it makes me want to go get more. For a small operation, Long Road Eco Farm produces a remarkable diversity of products. They sell seasonal vegetables, including strawberries in early summer, and they have a Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) program. Though they have settled in since moving to the area in 2013, farm-

ing in here is still very different from China. “It’s much easier here,” explains Xiaobing. “You have a lot of land and a lot of resources.” But farming in Canada is also more expensive. “Back home in the village, you can’t make much income, but in the meantime there’s not much cost.” “It’s still a really tough business,” says Jonathan. “Overall it’s been really positive. It’s a good way to live.” Xiaobing and Jonathan - Xiaobing Shen and JonaYou can find than Davies of Long Road Ecological Farm north of Xiaobing and Kingston.

New e-Learning Hubs to enhance and advance student experience at Loyola

By Tori Stafford

tstaff ord@metroland.com

News – Students at Loyola School of Adult and Continuing Education are now being offered even more ways to further their learning, and access to the technology education in today’s world demands. On Wednesday, Oct. 5, students, staff and dignitaries from the City of Kingston and the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic District School Board (ALCDSB) gathered at the Loyola location here in the city as the school opened their brand new e-Learning Hub. Designed to enhance the students’ experience by providing access to technology and the internet, the four e-Learning Hubs allow adult students to work on online courses while having access to teacher support at the same time. Additionally, these e-Learning Hubs benefit all students at Loyola, as they are open for use on a daily basis. Students learn how to use programs such as Google Docs, Google Drive and Dropbox, as well as providing hands-on learning of necessary basics like emailing, creating attachments, changing file types, and Microsoft Office programs. It’s all about expanding and advancing adult education, explained Loyola Principal Rob Gilmour. “It provides us with more opportu-

nities,” Gilmour expressed, noting that with family and work responsibilities, fl exibility is incredibly valuable for adult learners. “Not everyone has the internet, not everyone has a computer, and even if they have them, they don’t necessarily know how to use everything – many people don’t,” he continued, “So we always have a teacher here that’s in a space dedicated to online students. Those students who have taken the e-learning course, if they have a question about content, how to use a program, or they have an issue with their computer – whatever it might be – they’ve got a space here, they can come in any time during the day, and get access to that and one-on-one help.” Additionally, the e-Learning Hubs benefi t all Loyola students, allowing each of them access to the technology as well as support in using it. “It’s really very helpful in my studies,” said Zach Bishop, a 34-year-old student who began his studies at Loyola last January. “Not only can we work on projects and send them to our teachers, but they can see us working on them at the same time and help us with them, through the Google Drive and Loyola’s online programs. It’s all very interconnected, from the student to the teacher to the actual work that we’re doing.”

Bishop, who is aiming to complete eight credits this year and complete his high school equivalency, would like to work in scientific research or psychology eventually, he said, which means honing his skills with technology now is of utmost importance. “When Loyola was suggested to me, I wasn’t aware of the possibilities here to use technology to further your studies,” Bishop expressed. “It has helped me out so much.”

Among the topics he plans to touch on during ‘What Just Happened,’ Brexit, Pokemon Go, Black Lives Matter, bathroom laws and, of course, Donald Trump are certainly sure to entertain. At the same time, James plans to take his audiences in for a closer look at some of the issues happening here at home in Canada, he expressed. “My specials are always an assessment of the year that’s been and the place that we find ourselves on this rapidly spinning planet: It’s history,

it’s current events, it’s life changes, it’s personal, it’s national… it covers a vast canvas of different topics,” James said. “I’ve been touring the country enough to know, I think, how Canadians like their comedy, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t push the envelope, either. There are some very controversial issues that needed addressing this year – The fact that 428 out of 600 reserves stretched across Canada’s boreal gulag have to still boil their water – it’s issues like that I’ll hit head on.” And even though the Liberal government has only been in power a year, that doesn’t mean he won’t be poking fun at the party or the Canadian government in general, James said. “We went from a prime minister who couldn’t smile to a new one that can’t stop!” he said in his signature, exasperated exclamation. “Every time you see him, he’s running out of a cave into Gatineau, shirtless, or walking out of the surf like some Greek god, shirtless!” From selling Established 1876 armed weapons to Saudi Arabia to how the Jays are stacking up Local People providing Local People with on their journey FARM • HOME • AUTO towards becom• CONDOMINIUM • COMMERCIAL ing World Series champions • INSURANCE again; from ‘legal’ marijuana to 24 Hour Emergency Claim Response 1-800-722-9556 the world’s obsession with taking selfies; and from what the past 150 years have resulted in for Canada as a nation, to, of course, the good Harrowsmith Office Napanee Office ol’ hockey game – James will talk 613-372-2980 613-354-4810 about it all. “I’ve had this www.l-amutual.com wonderful jour-

Ford Motor Company brings Driving Skills for Life program to Ottawa

Ford landed in a big way on a cool overcast Friday recently at the parking lot of the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata to bring their Driving Skills for Life program to the nation’s capital. Now in its 13th year (third anniversary for Canada) this initiative sees a full team of professional drivers and trailer loads of new Ford vehicles along with the latest tech gear collected for the single purpose of helping young drivers survive and succeed on our roads. I had the pleasure of attending the morning session where about 50 young drivers (averaging only one year of experience each) braved some cool temps and a little rain to hone their wheeled skills. A dozen professional drivers (with experience ranging from instruction to kart racing to formula track) were joined by several members of the Ottawa

Police Service who promised they left their citation pads in the cruisers. As well a full team of Ford Motor Company employees were on hand to explain the workings of their safety and vehicle performance technologies. After a short introduction session, the young drivers were divided into teams and sent out to the various stations Ford had set up on the parking lot for about four hours of behind-the-wheel and classroom instruction. Five different stations were set up to cover such things as hazard recognition/reaction, impaired driving, distracted driving, vehicle safety technology, and vehicle handling. At the impaired driving course, students received some real world instruction and advice from Drug Recognition Officers (DRE) of the Ottawa Police and then got a chance to pilot a new Ford Fusion around a set course. The first lap was done in normal mode and the second time each student donned impaired driving goggles, which simulated the effects alcohol has on our vision. In each case there was an OPS officer seated in the pas-

RE CLINE, R E LAX &

senger front seat to make sure everyone was safe. Ford also brought along their drug simulator goggles and full body suit which lets otherwise functional humans experience the drastic affects that controlled substance can have on their reaction times, motor skills abilities, and visual perception. At the distracted driving event, drivers were placed in front of simulators designed to measure their reaction time in bringing a vehicle to a stop from 80 km/hr both while undistracted and while trying to receive and send texts to their fellow students. Almost everyone was surprised at their poor results when texting and shock when the simulators display the distance it took to stop. In hazard recognition drivers got a chance to experience and master the everyday heart-stopping event where a vehicle ahead suddenly and without warning stops and the decision to brake and avoid collision has to take place within milliseconds. Without doubt the most popular station was the vehicle handling course where new Ford Mustangs were equipped with

heavy duty caster wheels mounted under the rear axle. These took a lot of weight off the rear tires and made the vehicle very susceptible to rear end spin outs with the lightest of cornering steering. The test here was to bring the vehicle under control and back on track as quickly as possible and it took fast hands on the steering wheel. With little exception all attendees learned a lot about their own driving skills and appreciated the one-on-one instruction behind the wheel. The instruction was first rate, struck a great balance between classroom and track learning and provided real-road experience. Oh and the cost for this priceless learning experience? Nothing. The Driving Skills for Life is provided by the Ford Motor Company Fund and was established in the U.S. in partnership with the Governors Highway Safety Administration.

Inverary LCBO to reopen thanks to community member’s diligence By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News – After a lot of hard work, determination and patience, Reta Azulay is beyond excited to announce she’s received approval to re-open the LCBO outlet in the heart of Inverary. “I’m really excited about it,” said Azulay, who has owned and operated Northway Home Hardware with her husband, Roger, since 1988. “What I am most excited about, though, is being able to give the community what it wants, and what all the people have been asking for.” The LCBO outlet on Perth Road that had served the area was closed in March of this year when the previous owner retired. The closure was sudden for many of the area residents, and even more sudden for the tourists and cottagers that frequent the area in the summer season, Azulay explained, and all of those people weren’t shy in voicing their disapproval. “The response from people that would stop in here was just ‘Where did it go?’ and ‘What happened?’” Azulay said. “We spent all summer explaining to people what had happened and where they’d have to go now… It was a long summer!” Azulay laughed about just how many people came into Northway Home Hardware to ask questions,

a On for Limited Time

but she pointed out why so many people were displeased with the lack of liquor store in the area. “This area is definitely different than Kingston, and people want to come out of Kingston, and they don’t want to go back to Kingston,” she said, adding that, with people leading such busy lives, having to go into Kingston to pick up a bottle of wine for a dinner party or a case of beer for a golf tournament was a real hassle for those in the area. “People just want to come home, do their thing, make their stops along the way here. Suddenly, they couldn’t get everything they wanted as they once had been able to.” When the LCBO outlet, which stood directly beside Northway Home Hardware, closed, Azulay immediately expressed a desire to take it over and keep it running. However, when she approached the LCBO about doing so, she found it wouldn’t be that simple. A new LCBO location had opened on Division Street right near Highway 401 while the Inverary location was in service, and the company decided it needed to review whether or not it was even worthwhile to have an outlet in Inverary after all. Thus began the lengthy process Azulay decided to spearhead, knowing the community truly wanted the outlet to reopen. She started a petition at the checkout of her Home Hardware, which eventually gar-

nered approximately 2,500 signatures. And she had to undergo the finicky application process to open an LCBO outlet, all while continuing to run her store. At the same time, the Azulays decided to lease the adjoining property, knowing they could use the additional space to display their stock and expand their busy store. The couple elected to move all of their hunting and fishing stock to the new space, which they renovated, leaving all of the original shelves from the old LCBO in place “in the hope that we would be approved,” Azulay said. Then, on Friday, Sept. 30, she received the letter she and the entire community had been waiting for. “I got the approval letter from the LCBO, and I couldn’t have been happier,” she said. “I knew I wanted to do something to let the community know, but we’re not allowed to put any LCBO signage up until the store actually opens. So I came up with a little riddle to spread the word.” The sign plays on words and references both the dry summer and the lack of liquor sales in the area: ‘Long dryspell has come to an end! Stay tuned.’ But with so many people coming in to ask about it, Azulay said she finally went back out to the sign and added the words ‘Yes really!’ because she found herself saying

those exact words over and over. “The community is very excited, and they drop in just to say ‘Way to go!’ and ‘Good work!’” she said. “Now I am looking to add some giftware, greeting cards and some gift bags to the store, so it can appeal to a wide range of people.” So when will the outlet finally be open again? “That’s what everyone wants to

know,” Azulay said with a laugh. “I’m gearing for November 1.” She didn’t put in all of those months lobbying the LCBO and pleading the case for Inverary to rest on her laurels now, Azulay explained, and the reason for that is simple. “I like to help people and I like to help the community,” she said. “I was born and raised here, so Inverary is in my heart.”

Reta Azulay, owner and operator of Northway Home Hardware, stands next to the sign she posted on September 30 indicating the currently closed LCBO location will reopen shortly. Tori Stafford/Metroland

Celebrating Queen’s University’s 175th Anniversary to incorporate a bit of the history, but also this great celebration of thanksgiving for what Queen’s is today and a prayer for what it might become. It is so apt that the anniversary falls the Sunday after Thanksgiving.” Rev. Dr. Johnston explained that On October 16, 1841, thanks to the efforts of St. Andrew’s Pres- a thanksgiving is the foundational byterian Church, Queen Victoria dimension of a spiritual life. “Not one of us chooses to be granted a Royal Charter to found born,” he said. “We live in cities we Queen’s University. It would be another 26 years didn’t build. We study in a univerbefore the Confederation of the sity that is there to welcome us. We country that would be known as want to acknowledge the giver of Canada. Of note, Canada’s found- this gift. We want to acknowledge ing father, Sir John A.

The public is invited to attend On October 16 this year, St. Andrew’s is holding a special service this service and to join the celebration of the founding of Queen’s to honour the anniversary. “It’s going to be a Sunday morn- University, a vital institution, one ing worship service of thanksgiv- which plays such an important ing to God, because we want to cel- role in the academic, intellectual ebrate the foundation, the heritage, and cultural fabric of the City of but also the ongoing evolution and Kingston. Daniel Woolf, Principal of life of the university, and a sense of this institution being a gift for Queen’s University, will be making the city and the nation,” said Rev. a presentation acknowledging the Dr. Andrew Johnston. “We want formative role of the church.

“It will be an opportunity for those gathered to remember the role of faith communities in the building of this nation,” said Rev. Dr. Johnston. The Scottish Presbyterians emigrating from their homeland knew the importance of public education to their new country. The Presybyterians saw that there was only one post secondary institution, Kings College, in Canada. They objected to York’s (which became Toronto) Kings College only being open to those who subscribed to the tenets of the Anglican Church. The Presbyterians saw the importance of a university established that would support all denominations and classes. According to Rev. Dr. Johnston, on December 18, 1939, a meeting was held in St. Andrew’s Church in Kingston. At that meeting a motion was passed to establish a university in Kingston. Seconding the motion was non other than John A. Macdonald, at the time in his St. Andrew’s Cross, above St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Princess Street, also forms the centre piece of the Queen’s University Coat of mid-20s.

Celebrating Queen’s University’s 175th Anniversary classes were held at 67 Colborne Street, and then houses on Wil“Fifty years later, Sir John A. liam Street, followed by the move recalled, ‘I was a young man just into Summerhill in 1853. The university struggled ficommencing my practice and, being a Kingstonian and a Presby- nancially. Salaries were difficult terian, I was exceedingly anxious to fund. From 1846 to 1853, the that my native city should have Rev. John Machar, Minister of the honour or being a university St. Andrew’s, served as Principal of Queen’s University as there city—a seat of learning.’” The importance of St. An- wasn’t sufficient funding to look drew’s Church was recognized in elsewhere for someone to fill the the Charter noting that Queen’s position. Without the support of the should be located no further than three miles from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Queen’s University would have collapsed Church. We think of Queen’s as a great, on more than one occasion. All noble and massive institution to- of this is hard to imagine when day, but it’s important to remem- one considers that today Queen’s ber that upon its founding, the is recognized as one of the counpopulation of Kingston was less try’s premier educational instituthat 5000. Today, that many first- tions. The university owns more year students commence their than 3500 acres of land and at any given time is home to about 23,000 studies each autumn. Shortly after the founding of enrolled students in undergraduQueen’s University, there were sig- ate, graduate, post-graduate and nificant changes challenging the professional programs. “The congregation makes a real city and the university. In 1843, the designation of capital city was point of offering open doors to all removed from Kingston, hamper- students,” said Rev. Dr. Johnston. “But back at the turn of the 20th ing future growth. Queen’s University opened with century, Principal George Munro two professors, both of whom Grant, who served from 1877 to were educated Presbyterian min- 1902, initially gave almost all of isters, and 11 students. Soon, two his salary just to keep the univermore students joined. The first sity going. In 1907, Chancellor Sir Continued from page 3

Sanford Fleming noted that every year there are offerings in Presbyterian congregations across the nation to support Queen’s, and that the national General Assembly had given $500,000 to the endowment of Queen’s.” Depending on how you calculate the value, in today’s dollars that amount would range from $30,000,000 to $250,000,000. Even at the lower end of the calculation that is a huge sum of money coming from one church group. “The Presbyterians kept it going for the first 50 years,” said Rev. Dr. Johnston. “And then there was a real sense of ownership developing from the local community.” There was also support from other religious leaders, including the Roman Catholic Archbishop and the Anglican Bishop. By 1875, the Presbyterian Church had started to relinquish control of the university and actually took no part in the election of the Board of Governors. In 1906, the City of Kingston gave $50,000 for a new arts building. This donation of public funds was proof of the community’s appreciation that Queen’s was an institution open, not to one spe-

cific religious group, but to all. “Queen’s was set up by the Presbyterians at the beginning to strictly keep it out of the control of any one religious group,” said Rev. Dr. Johnston. “By 1912, there was a formal severance of the Church from the University, so the University could thrive. As soon as the freedom of the university was secure and it was clear that it would not be taken over by other churches, the Presbyterians started to withdraw. They understood that an institution of higher learning has to be for the common good.” And, thus, Queen’s became what it is today: a secular institution of the highest standards, an institution of learning recognized around the world, open to any person, regardless of belief, philosophy, race, creed or culture. In other words, it’s exactly what it’s founders hoped it would become. And now they pray for its future. The founding Church wishes to give thanks for the success of Queen’s University. “So much of life is a gift,” said Rev. Dr. Johnston. “And a

gift is not a gift until the giver is thanked.” The giver of whom the Rev. Dr. refers is the Divine Creator. “It is only right and good to remember the faith foundations of our country,” said Rev. Dr. Johnston. “Robertson Davies in Saturday night, January 1987, wrote: ‘I am convinced that Canada has a soul, and should get on better terms with it, because at the moment it is a sadly neglected aspect of our inheritance.’” As the members of the congregation of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church want us all to know, faith is an important part of the human landscape of Canada. Members of the community are welcome to join the members of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church for the 10:30 a.m. service on October 16, during the Queen’s University Homecoming Weekend, at which time thanksgiving will be offered for the gift that is Queen’s University.

A play that pulls no punches will tickle your funny bone happening. McDonagh just keeps blindsiding the audience. You think you know where things are going and suddenly no, no.” To call it a dark comedy doesn’t do The Cripple of Inishmaan justice. It’s in the deepest corner of darkness and the funniest realm of comedy. “The framing device is the filming of Man of Erin in 1934, Robert Flaherty’s documentary, where he actually staged everything. Billy Claven is If you’re looking for a family-friendly show that desperate to leave his island home and sees this as offends no one and constantly takes into consid- an opportunity,” says Roberts. eration the subtleties of race, religion and culture Throughout the play, the audience is brought of origin, best not to sit in the audience for The into the heart of Inishmaan.

Off the coast of County Galway sit the Aran Islands. One of them, Inishmaan, forms the setting for this script. Roberts explains that he was drawn to the play because of the characters. “First and foremost, because they are so distinct, and they are filled with so many idiosyncrasies,” he says. “I found them fascinating. And when reading the script, there are overtones here of Samuel Beckett. It’s close to theatre of the absurd at times. I found it hysterically funny.” He’s not exaggerating. What McDonagh is best at is humor in the extreme, the absurd extreme. On the other hand, he captures small town Ireland, or small town just about any place where people are close to the earth, down to the finest detail. “Not to scare people off, but it’s provocative,” says Roberts. “It throws political correctness to the wind with gleeful abandon.

ADVISING ON:

A play that pulls no punches will tickle your funny bone Continued from page 10

Line after line and scene after scene draw us closer to the characters. If you’ve ever sat in an Irish pub (a real one in a place like Dingle in Ireland, not some “plastic Paddy” place in North America) or my ancestral family’s kitchen, you’ll recognize the banter. From scene two: Helen: “Sure, look at as pretty as I am. If I’m pretty enough to get clergymen groping me arse, it won’t be too hard to wrap film fellows round me fingers.” Bartley: “Sure, getting clergymen groping your arse doesn’t take much skill. It isn’t being pretty they go for. It’s more being on your own and small.” Helen: “If it’s being on your own and small, why so has Cripple Billy never had his arse groped by priests?” Bartley: “You don’t know at all Cripple Billy’s never had his arse groped by priests.” Helen: “Have you ever had your arse groped by priests, Cripple Billy?” Billy: “No.” Helen. “Now.” Bartley: “I supposed they have to draw the line somewhere.” There’s no relaxing the banter anywhere through the script. It’s tight. It’s funny. At times, it’s painfully sad (but, again, no spoilers here). “It’s about storytelling,” said Roberts. “It’s close to my heart. I think at the heart of the play is the stories we tell to amuse, protect and delude ourselves.” The characters in The Cripple of Inishmaan say the things we sometimes think, without any fi lter. Of course I’d never expect to hear those things outside of my home surroundings, and places like rural Ireland, where there are few— actually no—filters to urban niceties and political correctness. There, those who form the salt of the earth say the things those in proper circles never dare utter aloud lest they soil themselves. I can still hear by late grandmother’s voice

telling me: “You’re runnin’ around like a bluetail fl y on a horse’s arse.” It’s easy to understand why there are so many great Irish storytellers when you realize we grow up surrounded by metaphors such as that gem. From curtain to curtain in The Cripple of Inishmaan, the audience is taken deep into the Irish psyche, into the day-to-day life of rural Ireland of the 1930s. “It’s darkly and wickedly funny,” said Roberts. “I think it’s rather timely as well, because McDonagh is very critical of storytellers and their motivations and what they hope to achieve with the story they’re telling, even if it’s not true. We are getting a steady diet, a banquet of that, in the media right now.” Roberts says he’s got a dream cast for the play. “We held open auditions,” says Roberts. “A good number came out to auditions. We hit a motherlode of talent. This cast is a director’s gift. I couldn’t ask for more. It’s an ensemble piece and we have a tight, precise and passionate ensemble for this play.” With the same witticism with which McDonagh has written The Cripple of Inishmaan, Sean Roberts tells me: “It’s definitely not a play for the entire family. I also want to point out that no pigs, cats or eggs will be harmed in the mounting of this production.” That will make sense after you’ve seen The Cripple of Inishmaan.

Annual Vital Signs report points to support for children, adolescents and food security as areas for improvement in Kingston community By Tori Stafford tstafford@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When it comes to improving the community for all who call it home, early childhood and adolescent support, ensuring access to healthy food, and in-

Additionally, the report indicates increased issues in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Emotional Maturity and Social Competenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of children six and under when compared to the previous Early Development Index cycle, which occurred in 2011. According to the report, the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Hotel Dieu Hospital provided psychiatric services to 12,605 patient visits for those aged 18 years or younger between April 1, 2015 and March 30, 2016. With regard to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food Security,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the report indicates that over eight per cent of households in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (KFL&A) are affected by food insecurity.

Annual Vital Signs report points to support for children, adolescents and food security as areas for improvement in Kingston community area, Community Risk Watch has two ‘Situation Tables’ – one for Kingston and Frontenac, and another for the Napanee area. These Situation Tables bring together multiple agencies and services, and meet once a week to review cases that have been brought to their attention as families or individuals experiencing acutely elevated levels of risk, which need immediate attention. This format allows for rapid response in a streamlined format, bringing all of the services a family or individual needs together. The Kingston-Frontenac Situation Table alone has reviewed 31 cases in the past half year, said Lisa Holmes, chair of the KFL&A Community Risk Watch. “The age range that we’re seeing predominately is the 12 to 25 age range, so youth and younger adults,” Holmes said, explaining that hard data from the organization is not yet available simply because it has only been in service for about six months. Additionally, many of the cases are being brought forward through the same agencies time and again, which means those cases are often similar in nature, but not entirely representative of all of the issues impacting the community. “A lot of our cases at this point are being brought forward by Kingston Police, Family and Children’s Services and Addiction and Mental Health Services. Because of those being the three agencies predominantly bringing the cases forward, most of our cases involve men-

The report also points out a need for those in Kingston and the area to increase their ‘Community Engagement’: With only 33 per cent of residents volunteering in the 2013 year, Kingston was 11 per cent below the national and provincial average. Both Tina Bailey, executive director of CFKA, and George Wright, project manager for the Vital Signs working group pointed to collaborative efforts between agencies as some of the “good news” included in the report. “One of the best things, in my mind, is that it’s inspiring to see the collaboration that is happening in getting the groups together to address issues,” Bailey said. “We’re seeing the breaking down of the silos and groups coming together to address the needs of the community, and that’s a really positive thing.” “The coordination and the number of agencies working with one another are very positive,” echoed Wright. “There are 18 [agencies] with Community Risk Watch, and there are so many involved in the work that Pathways is doing… It’s amazing. People working together is very important.” The KFL&A Community Risk Watch initiative launched just under six months ago and aims to “build safer and healthier communities.” Within the

tal health, families or young people.” Holmes expressed, noting that a majority of the cases the Situation Table has reviewed have been those of individuals as opposed to families. “We’ve had a lot of really good response from the individuals who have been offered help. People are really appreciative that there are so many people in the community that care about their situation and are willing to do something about it.” In addition to the three major issues presented by The Vital Signs report, the ‘Community Dashboard’ looks at 15 areas of concern in the community, and compares those areas to the same report last year. Of note, the Community Dashboard indicates a decrease in the overall crime 3690 rate for the area, and points to the local policing model’s focus on proac-

tive prevention methods. The Dashboard also shows a decrease in the unemployment rate for youth aged 15 to 24, and a substantial improvement in voter turnout for national elections, up 6.9 per cent since 2011 (a 70.3 per cent turnout for the 2015 election). Conversely, the number of children in

KFL&A who are kindergarten ready has decreased since 2011, and the number of meals served to those in need, is up by 171 meals since 2015, indicating there are more families and individuals facing food insecurity. To find out more or read the 2016 Vital Signs report, go to www.cfka.org.

Providence Village plans move forward with potential community partners on board By Mandy Marciniak mandymarciniak@metroland.com

News – In May of 2015, the Sisters of Providence announced their plans to turn their Motherhouse property, located at 1200 Princess Street, into a concept they call ‘Providence Village’. Now, just over a year later, plans are moving forward for that village and they include a number of community organizations. “We began this project because our numbers are declining and we wanted to be sure that after there were no more sisters that our mission of serving vulnerable people in Kingston would continue,” explained Sister Sandra Shannon, General Superior of the Sisters of Providence at an announcement on Oct. 3 at the Motherhouse. Among the organizations interested in pursuing the possibility of locating services on-site at Providence Village are Hospice Kingston, the YMCA of Kingston, Loving Spoonful, H’Art Centre and the Kingston House of Recovery for Women and Children. “We have been looking for a site where we can locate with other organizations in a supportive community and this is just perfect

for us,” said Maggie Hogan, a member of the board of directors of the Kingston House of Recovery for Women and Children. “We currently don’t have a site, we are currently running a pilot project using community resources, but our long term goal is to have a facility, just like this.” Hogan and her organization work to provide space for mothers dealing with substance abuse issues to receive treatment with their children, something very few treatment centres provide. “There is a need for these services in our community and the only facilities like this in Canada are in Montreal or Vancouver,” she explained. “There are a lot of women who don’t seek help for substance abuse because of their children and they don’t feel safe or comfortable leaving them. It is a real barrier.” Hogan thinks that a community setting like Providence Village would be extremely beneficial for mothers seeking treatment and their families too. “We would be thrilled to have gardens that clients could use and help cultivate and green space to use, she said. “Working with other agencies that care about people

and are trying to improve the lives of people is so important.” Plans for the Providence V i l l a g e , which would also include Providence Manor longterm care home, are still in very early stages, but conversations are moving forward and assessment studies are already taking place. “We spent some time doing a community Sister Sandra Shannon, General Superior of the Sisters of Providence (center) with repreneeds assessment and we looked sentatives of potential community partners in Providence Village.

Moving the Findlay Oval was a team effort Friday, so it would be well cooled off by the time it was moved. Being Saturday, the brothers were home from school, and it would take every hand to move the big stove back where it belonged. With any luck, the stove would be up and running in time for supper. Heaven forbid that Father didn’t have a full meal at the end of the day! Always, the stove was rolled in and out on logs, but Father had a better idea that year. He spent hours in the work shed building a

platform on wheels, and it was his intention to hoist the stove onto this trolley, and slide it right into the kitchen. Of course, it would have to be lifted onto the trolley first. And I remembered how the brothers and Father struggled to get it onto the logs and then roll it It was time. There was a bite into the summer kitchen. Father in the air. This was the day the said it weighed more than two work Findlay Oval would be moved from horses put together. Everyone was the summer kitchen back into the in bad humour by the time it was all house. It had been allowed to go over. So the trolley, I hoped would out the night before after supper on work out just fine. The stove pipes had to be taken down first, and it was my sister Audrey’s and my job to shake soot out, If I could show you a way to reduce your the and make sure they were clean mortgage/debt quicker and save on enough to attach interest costs, would you be interested in back to the stove it was back hearing more? Give me a call to discuss when in the kitchen. I stayed well the Manulife One account away from Helping You get from Where You are Now, to Where You Want to Be Financially. the summer

kitchen when the lifting started. I couldn’t bear to see the red faces, and the veins standing out in their necks, as they struggled with the load. Well! That move was different from all others! Father could be heard swearing at Everett, who was yelling at Emerson, who was blaming young Earl. Someone, Father roared, had forgotten to empty the reservoir, and as soon as the stove was tilted in the move, the water sloshed out, and covered Father from his waist to the top of his work boots. To say he wasn’t happy was an understatement! So there sat the stove. Two legs on the trolley, and the other two on the summer kitchen floor. With the water pouring out like a rushing river. I stood in the doorway, and it was like watching a Hopa-long Cassidy Movie. For a few minutes Father stood and looked at the water running down his front, and the reservoir door hanging open. Emerson, Everett and Earl stood looking at Father for further instructions. I was amazed at how much water the reservoir could hold. With the toe of his work boot, Father maneuvered the braided rug that was close by, over to the pool of water on the floor. Of course, that only spread the water further, and did nothing to sop up what can come out of the reservoir. He sent Earl in the for the rag bag. “And don’t bring one rag. Bring the whole bag,” he hollered. In the meantime, he was asking who had the job of emptying the water. Emerson pointed to Everett, and Everett pointed in the general direction of Earl going out

the door for the rag bag, shaking his head and saying “not me”. Earl brought in what used to be an old flour bag pillow slip, now filled with pieces of old underwear, sweaters, and anything else that could no longer be considered usable. Father grabbed it, and without taking one thing out of it, used the entire full bag as a mop. Mother would not be pleased, and I knew the rags would have to be washed, dried and restored in the bag for further use. Finally, as much water as possible was wiped up, the stove heaved onto the trolley, and moved back into the house. The pipes were put on. It took several hours to put everything back in order, a new fire lit, and supper put on the stove to cook. Father was as cross as a bear with a sore paw, the brothers were still accusing each other of failing to empty the reservoir, and I was sitting in a corner of the kitchen pretending to read my newest book from the Renfrew Library. But I couldn’t help thinking of the night before when the whole house was getting ready for the big move, and Mother, right in the middle of the chaos said. “I think Mary is old enough to help this year. She can empty the reservoir.” I was grateful Mother didn’t remember giving me the job, and I reasoned owning up to it, would just add more chaos to an already out-of-hand situation.

Wolfe Island Ferry moved to Dawson Point Terminal by Margaret Knott

It’s that time of year on Wolfe Island, dreaded by many, appreciated by others, when the Wolfe Islander ferry moves to the Dawson Point dock, same schedule but away from the village of Marysville. MTO determined it was time to do so because of lower water levels. As stated in MTO’s public communique, “This move is necessary due to the sudden seasonal decline in the water levels of Lake Ontario. Reports show an ongoing downward trend. The safety of the Wolfe Islander III passengers and ferry vessel is always a priority for this Ministry. Moving to the winter dock at Dawson Point on Wolfe Island will ensure the continuation of the ferry’s operation during the seasonal low levels of Lake Ontario.” MTO leaves the ferry operating from Maryville to at least Thanksgiving, or Christmas, water levels permitting. Some years it never moved at all. 2. Community Events You may have missed: The history of the Wolfe Island Boat Club (WIBC) is like the story of ‘The Little Engine That Could’, beginning with a few enthusiastic boaters saying, we can do this . And they have. Most recently MPP Sophie Kiwala visited the WIBC along with Jim Roustel, Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) Volunteer, to join with WIBC’s Commodore Tom Wroe, Nicole Clark, Treasurer, Frontenac Islands Mayor Denis Doyle , Councillor Wayne Grant, members and friends for a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the results of a $19,800 OTF Capital grant used to install a new dock, buy rowing equipment and Laser sailboats. MPP Kiwala expressed delight with what the OTF grant has allowed to club to accomplish not only with regard

There’s

to infrastructure and equipment but to provide opportunities for people of all ages to engage in water recreation and sport. Tom Wroe noted its impact, first the new dock allowing rowers to launch skulls and with new oars, then the club adding sculling to their list of coached rowing programs. “With the addition of the Lasers participation in family race nights exceeded our expectations and all the boats were sailed all summer. With the added safety equipment the club was able to reach out to younger members of the community,” he said. As an incorporated not-forprofit, the WIBC is a volunteerrun, community organization that aims to provide a variety of sailing and rowing camps and programs, as well as drop-in Dragon Boating, canoeing and kayaking, from pre-school age onward. WIBC programs include After School Sailing, Summer Kid’s Camp, and ‘Little Kid’s Camp’ for preschoolers, Learn to Row Clinics, Coached Rowing, Family Race Nights, drop-in Dragon Boating, canoeing and kayaking.
