City’s 2011 budget under pressure By Bill Hutchins Reporter
EMC News – It’s not just household budgets feeling the pinch of inflation. Higher fuel prices, an active winter and underused arenas are putting the financial squeeze on Kingston city hall’s 2011 budget as well. The latest financial forecast, tracking municipal costs from January to June, shows certain revenue and spending estimates are not keeping pace with the $260 million operating budget. But city officials are not overly concerned yet, noting many of the unexpected financial pressures are “seasonal in nature and appear to be reasonable at this time.” The quarterly information report, presented at the September 6 council meeting, singles out a few areas of concern for councillors. The rising cost of fuel for the municipal vehicle fleet, from fire trucks to garbage trucks, forced the city to spend an extra $330,000 at the pumps during the first half of the year. “Currently, fuel prices are approximately 15 percent higher than anticipated during budget preparation,” according to city treasurer Desiree Kennedy’s report. A busy winter season, from January to March, also took a bigger bite out of the winter control budget. City budgets are based on a calendar year so the full impact of winter clearing costs won’t be known until 2011 is finished. Public works director Damon Wells earlier indicated that snow clearing and removal costs from the beginning of 2011 ate up $4.2 million of the city’s $6 million winter control budget, with this November and December still to come. “Right now we are sit-
ting with about one-third of our budget left to use for November and December this year,” said Wells. However, Kennedy expects the cost of higher fuel and winter control can be absorbed through savings in other areas of the city. On the entertainment and recreation front, the city is tracking about $460,000 below budget for the Invista Centre multiplex and K-Rock Centre. The multiplex lost revenues by removing the sale of bottled water from its vending machine contract, while fewer skaters are renting the ice for hockey, resulting in $110,000 in lower revenues. The K-Rock Centre recorded a sharp decline in performances and attendance in the first six months of this year, resulting in a projected shortfall of about $350,000. Lower interest rates have also cut into projected income from corporate investments by about $400,000. Kennedy says Kingston’s quarter-billion dollar operating budget should not finish the year in a deficit position, though the city will likely have to tap deeper into its reserve funds to help balance the books. But it’s not all bad news. Some departmental budgets are doing better than expected. The sale of paper, cans and other recyclable items collected from the curbs generated $200,000 more than expected for the first half of the year due to improved market conditions. The 2011 budget was approved in the spring, much later than usual due to the timing of municipal election. The 2012 budget talks will take place this fall. Councillors have already publicly stated they don’t want property taxes to rise by more than 3.5 percent.

K-Rock Centre profits down in 2011; Where’s Cirque when you need them? By Bill Hutchins Reporter
EMC News – The KRock Centre will not meet its profit targets for the fourth year in a row. SMG, which manages the city-owned arena, blames the economy for a sharp drop in concerts and attendance. As a result, the arena is projecting a net profit of only about $350,000 based on this year’s revenue target of $700,000. Arena officials say con-

in a big drop in attendance; 29,167 people passed through the turnstiles in the first six month of the year, which is less than half of the projected attendance of 62,437. Noakes says it’s not just Kingston experiencing a decline in touring acts. He says it has taken a financial toll on venues across Ontario and the North Eastern United States, a trend that’s expected to continue through the upcoming fall season. He lists other reasons for See K-Rock page 3

certs are the “backbone” of the K-Rock Centre, and fewer performances were staged during the first six months of the year. “The economic downturn continues to affect the touring music business in a way not seen previously,” said arena general manager Ken Noakes. The arena hosted 14 (non-OHL) spectator events through the end of June, down from the 26 events it had projected. This resulted

Kingston Police launch Citizens Police Academy Kristen Coughlar
kcoughlar@perpfrint.ca
EMC News – Have you ever wanted to get an inside look at the inner workings of your local police headquarters? If so, now is your opportunity. The Kingston Police Force will be offering community members the opportunity to participate in a program known as the Citizens Police Academy. This eight-week course that allows citizens to become more familiar with the operations of their local police force is not a new concept. In fact, it was developed in England in 1977, and then brought to North America in 1984. “It’s a community policing program that is designed to create better communication and understanding between citizens and Kingston Police by way of education,” said Diversity Coordinator Cst. Terri Kennedy. Kennedy noted that the Citizens Police Academy has been successful in other areas, and while the relationship between
the Kingston Police and its community members is strong, there is always room for growth on both sides. “Our diverse community is growing, and it’s an era where we can share with the community what we do and try to build better bridges and maybe get rid of those myths that are out there about police officers.” The eight-week program, which will run Oct. 16 to Dec. 6 on Tuesday evenings, will introduce community members to the many units that operate within the walls of Kingston Police headquarters at 705 Division St. Presentations and demonstrations will be given by the K-9 Unit, the Emergency Response Team, Forensics Unit and Traffic Unit to name just a few. “It will give them a good taste of all of the different units within our one building here and give them a good understanding of what we do here,” Kennedy said. Anyone over the age of 18 who resides or works within the city and is com-
munity minded is invited to attend the free, eight-week program. Kennedy is hoping to see a wide range of ages, occupations and reasons for attending represented. Kennedy hopes the program will be just as successful as it has been in other areas. “It does seem that the public is very interested. Hopefully we’ll get the same positive feedback from the community here as well.” She said the best outcome would be that someone who attends the program walks away with a better understanding of the challenges and responsibilities of policing. The Citizens Police Academy will run Oct. 16 to Dec. 6 on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. If the first program is successful, it will be offered twice a year thereafter, in the spring and fall. Registration will soon be available online at www. kpf.ca. Forms are also available for pick-up at Kingston Police Headquarters at 705 Division St.

losses, decided to lower the profit margin this year. Instead of the unattainable benchmark target of $1.1 million - the amount required to pay the arena’s long-term construction debt - they reduced the profit target to $700,000. This means that in addition to covering the $400,000 annual revenue gap, the city will also have to pony up an additional $350,000 to cover this year’s project shortfall. Despite a slow year in 2011, SMG remains optimistic the $700,000 profit target is still “achievable” in 2012. Councillors have asked for

Noakes is also negotiating to bring a Mixed Martial Arts card to Kingston.

regular financial updates on K-Rock Centre’s privatelymanaged budget, even though there’s not much they can do to erase this year’s projected $350,000 shortfall. They will discuss the arena’s 2012 budget in detail until later this fall.

declining profits in 2011. The hugely popular Cirque du Soleil shows are returning to K-Rock Centre, but not until January 2012. That represents a $200,000 hit to the bottom line for this year, though the arena’s budget will benefit in 2012. In addition, more Kingston Frontenacs home games are scheduled for the second half of the 2011/2012 season, again too late to boost the 2011 profit margin. “A number of steps have been taken and continue to be taken to help fill the building, maintain and generate non-event revenues, and to control expenses,” wrote Noakes in his September 6 information report to city council. He says one option is to increase concession stand prices across-the-board for the first time since the venue opened. The arena is also reviewing its full and part-time staffing needs, expanding its marketing reach through social networking tools such Facebook and Twitter, while using minimal lighting and heating when the building is not in use to reduce its utility bills. Another strategy includes “creative deal making” to bring in acts, such as offering concert promoters rent-free access to K-Rock Centre. Noakes explained: “This should help to secure events where a promoter thinks the level of risk may be larger than they are comfortable with.” However, he points out the
arena still makes money from food and beverage sales and ticket commissions. He says any financial risk from free rentals for a performance that does not turn a profit would be covered by SMG, not municipal coffers. Still, it will be the city’s responsibility to underwrite financial shortfalls in order to pay the arena’s mortgage, as it has done since K-Rock Centre opened in early 2008.

A one hour workout in 10 minutes: T-Zone Kingston opens in city’s west end kcoughlar@perfprint.ca
EMC Business – David and Jacky Benneyworth and their two dogs recently uprooted their entire lives in a small town outside Collingwood, Ont., making the four and a half hour trek to their new home: Kingston. David does have family in the area, but the couple has another reason for setting down roots in the Limestone City: their new business venture, T-Zone Kingston, located at 541 Days Rd. in the Atrium Mall. Like its sister locations across the province, T-Zone Kingston is a health and fitness location that utilizes T-Zone Vibration Health Technology. “This is not new technology but it’s becoming readily available to the general
public, so it’s a newer technology in studio form for people to come in and experience,” Jacky said, noting that many chiropractors, physiotherapists and other specialists already use the technology in their practices. T-Zone Vibration Heath Technology is whole body vibration. When you turn on and stand on the plate of a vibration machine, it moves in a see-saw type motion, throwing your body slightly out of balance. It is said that you are utilizing 97 per cent of your muscles by standing on the machine alone. From there, you can incorporate various positions that target your individual health and fitness goals. Take a golfer for instance: “Your muscles learn very quickly what you want

If you’re on the machine, you take five minutes to warm everything up and then you start going slowly through your golf swing, and as you’re doing the vibration you are patterning your muscles so that they know how to react. You do that before you go out on your golf game and you’re already warmed up, you’re already limbered up and your muscles know what you want them to do,” Jacky said.

City planners endorse 9-storey condo at Queen & Bagot Reporter
EMC News – A new condo development is set to rise in downtown Kingston. Anna Lane Cooperative Development plans to build a 9-storey, 120 unit residential condominium at the corner of Queen and Bagot Streets, site of a large excavated hole for the past several years. The zoning application is now working its way through city hall, and the final approvals are expected by mid-September. The planning department is recommending the over-sized project get the go-ahead, partly because it promotes “complimentary” intensification in the downtown core. “The proposed development provides live and work opportunities, is within close proximity
to transit services, community services and commercial uses,” said a September 1 staff report to the city’s planning committee. The condo, facing Bagot Street, will feature townhouses on the main level with bachelorto-three bedroom units above. City planners praised the design because the townhouses provide a gradual setback to the main building and it’s located on the east side of the property so as not to obstruct the existing sightlines to historic St. Paul’s Church. The developer wants to increase the building’s height and density from the current allowable zoning of 93 residential units, and to reduce the number of underground parking spaces from 120 to 94 spaces. Still, planners say a taller building with fewer parking spaces should have minimal impact on neighbourhood traffic, heritage

Got a sweet tooth emergency? BeaverTails to the rescue By Hollie Pratt-Campbell
hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
EMC Business - A wish has been granted for Kingston area residents who long to indulge in the sweet taste of Ottawa’s favourite treat, the BeaverTail, a little closer to home. Entrepreneur Denis Thibodeau recently purchased his own mobile BeaverTails franchise, called BeaverTails Thousand Islands, allowing locals the opportunity to regularly enjoy nine decadent flavours of flat fried, whole wheat pastry. Favourite varieties include the original cinnamon and sugar BeaverTail, as well as chocolate hazelnut and triple trip, which features the classic peanut butter and chocolate combination. In addition, the restaurant offers smoothies with real fruit and 95 per cent fat free soft serve yogurt. “The territory we purchased goes from Trenton to Cornwall, so it’s fairly large,” explains Thibodeau. “We can be in any of those areas, but seeing that I’m a resident of Kingston I’d really rather be working here.” In addition to becoming a fixture at major local events like the Buskers Rendezvous, the Kingston Fall Fair and Feb Fest, Thibodeau hopes to get involved with fundraising events
“We’re starting a little late here, so most of the events are gone at this point in time.” However, Thibodeau adds that he is looking forward to taking part in the city’s annual Feb Fest, and would also like to have the opportunity to set up shop in Springer Market Square over the children’s Christmas break. The BeaverTails truck is also available for large private gatherings. “We have to have a guarantee, or at least a feel that we have an opportunity to sell 200-300 BeaverTails at minimum, because it does take a lot of work to get the trailer out, get it set up, and get it cleaned up afterwards,” says Thibodeau. “We need that kind of volume, so it probably wouldn’t work well for a small private party, but it might work well for a large wedding.” He is also looking forward to working with local schools such as Queen’s and St. Lawrence College. You can keep track of where the local BeaverTails trailer will be popping up on their Facebook page, under BeaverTails Thousand Islands. To inquire about having the trailer at your event, please contact btti@live.ca.
for charitable organizations such as the United Way, Hospice Kingston and Big Brothers Big Sisters. “[We’ll go] wherever they want to put us - wherever they think we can bring something to them from the point of view of sales and dollars raised,” he says, noting that he does not intend to keep regular hours for the shop. “We’re going to be opening and closing either on a daily basis or a weekend basis, whatever is needed. We’re primarily an events unit, so we don’t envision parking it in one location for three weeks. It’s just going to be all over the place.” The restaurant enjoyed an extremely successful inaugural run several weeks ago at Belleville Ribfest. “It was excellent,” says Thibodeau. “We had very steady business and for the two nights we were there we had solid lineups for three hours, so we were really excited about that. We hope that Kingston brings us the same [success].” Contrary to what many people might assume, Thibodeau is expecting the business to really take off next summer. “People think of BeaverTails as a winter thing, but we’re actually primarily a summer business,” he explains.

No shame in mourning the loss of Jack By Kristyn Wallace Columnist
EMC Editorial – I wasn’t supposed to go to Toronto on Aug. 26. I should have been heading to a cottage near Orillia to enjoy one of the last hot weekends of the summer. But, like thousands of other people, I felt compelled to head to Nathan Phillips Square, in the heart of the hot, concrete city, to pay my respects. I got off the bus at the Bay and Dundas station, threw my bags in a locker, and headed south to city hall. As soon as I saw the line of people that had wrapped its way around the building, I began to cry. They were the first of many tears I would shed during my visit. One of my best friends had come to meet me. She was the perfect person to have there, a crier herself, someone who wouldn’t judge me or think I was silly for being emotional. That’s when it struck me: why was I ashamed? Why did I feel so embarrassed for being sad that a man who inspired so many had passed away? Why didn’t I feel free to walk around the square, read the messages of condolence, and cry as much as I wanted to? So that’s exactly what I did.
There was the mother, standing at the make-shift memorial of cards, flowers and cans of Orange Crush, who said to her son, “You can leave them if you want.” I didn’t know what she meant until I followed her son’s gaze down to his feet, and his black and orange sneakers. He seemed amazed at what he had just heard, and he bent down, slipped his shoes off, and placed them side by side amongst the myriad of other items that had been left. There was the group of women that sang This Land is Your Land over and over again. There was the little boy drawing a giant bicycle on the concrete in orange chalk. There was the group of hundreds of Tamil Canadians, all wearing bright orange shirts with a picture of Layton and the words “Thank you, Jack” on the front. Some people may have been able to experience this stoically, without being moved to tears, but I’m certainly not one of those people. In her Aug. 22 column in the National Post, Christie Blatchford criticized Canadian journalists, particularly those from the CBC, for contributing to the public spectacle of Layton’s death. While I don’t disagree
with everything Blatchford wrote – the public broadcaster’s “Layton teaser” with the organ music made me cringe, too – it took me a while to figure out what really bothered me about her column. And then I realized: it was the sheer hypocrisy of it. I’ve been reading Christie Blatchford’s columns for years, often defending her to classmates and colleagues who dismiss her as too harsh or too emotional. In that time she’s written several gushing tributes for people who have died, typically soldiers, police officers, and victims of crime. Maybe because Layton didn’t fall into one of those categories, he wasn’t worthy of her sympathy. One might argue that, as a columnist, she is entitled to her slanted, emotional journalism, while most of the reporters covering Layton’s death were not. I would argue that, in cases like these, truly unbiased journalism is simply impossible. Many of those reporters had met Layton, spent time with him and his wife, and followed him on the campaign trail. What would be the point of trying to pretend they weren’t feeling his death personally? Blatchford also attacked Layton’s final words to Canadians: “The letter is vain-
IN OUR OPINION
glorious too...Who thinks to leave a 1,000-word missive meant for public consumption and released by his family and the party midday...Who seriously writes of himself, “All my life I have worked to make things better.” To that I would say, maybe someone who truly cared about Canadians, even those he didn’t know personally, the way so many seemed to have cared about him. We mourn people we didn’t know because we are mourning more than the loss of the individual. In the case of Jack Layton, citizens came together to mourn a man whose aspirations seemed simple: to make the world a better place. I mourn what might have been, and what our country would be like if someone with Jack Layton’s values were at its helm. I mourn the fact that a man who cared about things like homelessness and bike lanes and poverty is no longer with us, because the more people like that we have in our world, the better. I mourn, as so many others do, because it’s just plain sad. And that’s not something to be ashamed of – it’s something to be proud of.
Crossing a thin line? Children’s books and childhood obesity EMC Editorial - Few subjects are more sensitive than that of girls and their weight. On one hand, an epidemic of obesity – including the childhood variety - is sweeping the nation, crippling our health care system and putting many lives at risk unnecessarily; on the other, record numbers of adolescent girls are being diagnosed with eating disorders, undoubtedly due to the countless images of “perfect” celebrity bodies found in our culture. Fostering a healthy yet body-positive environment is - or at least should be - a major cause of concern for parents of adolescent girls; this is not an easy task given the fact that they have everything from Hollywood studios to junk food marketing companies working against them. Such is the subject of a recent debate surrounding the release of a new children’s book, Maggie Goes on a Diet by Paul M. Kramer. The book tells of an obese 14-year-old girl named Maggie. Sick of being teased about her weight, she slims down by becoming more active and replacing junk food with moderate portions of healthy alternatives. Her new size yields not only better health, but also increased happiness and popularity. The book, which is aimed at children somewhat younger than its protagonist, caused an uproar in the media. Many commentators suggested that young children shouldn’t even need to know what a diet is, and that the book sends a toxic message which idealizes a thin figure. Others applauded Maggie Goes on a Diet for presenting a sensible method of weight loss (i.e. positive lifestyle changes as opposed to a crash diet), and promoting an overall healthy lifestyle. We believe that Maggie Goes on a Diet sends an overall positive message. While the title word “diet” is somewhat problematic, the subject of a healthy lifestyle should be an important part of every child’s education, and children who are overweight should be encouraged to improve their eating habits and increase physical activity. The life-changing benefits of healthy eating and exercise not need be censored from children just because of the superficial messages found in movies and magazines. Furthermore, a concerted effort should also be made on the part of parents and teachers to demonstrate the difference between these images and reality.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
OHL needs to clean up its act Dear editor, On Tuesday, August 30, the Kingston Frontenac’s traded their first round pick, Max Domi, to the London Knights for future draft picks in future years. As much as the Frontenac’s want to position this trade as a win-win for the Frontenac’s, Max Domi and the Knights, the reality is Kingston won’t have a first rounder playing this season, nor an experienced first rounder with a year of
playing experience available to play next year. It’s time the OHL started enforcing its own rules. Certain teams, the Knights are often tossed around as an example, allegedly manipulate and circumvent the rules to get the best players. The Domi family makes it known that he won’t be playing in the OHL, but rather will be playing U.S. college hockey, but lo and behold now he’s playing in the OHL for the London Knights, his sup-
posed team of choice in the OHL. I’ve heard these type of allegations directly from a number of sources that have significant associations with the Frontenacs. I’m sure the same charges are a reality in other smaller market areas such as Belleville, Sarnia, etc. Where is the league commissioner on this issue? It’s time the OHL cleaned up its act. The integrity of the league is at stake! Ed Smith

Local UPS driver honoured for saving life of Martha’s Table volunteer By Hollie Pratt-Campbell
hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
EMC News - Sometimes, a series of occurrences lines up so perfectly that it’s difficult to deny the existence of fate. Such was the case in March of this year, when UPS driver Brad Walker stopped into Martha’s Table to inquire about volunteer opportunities for his daughter, Katie. There, he found long-time Martha’s Table volunteer John McAllister lying on the ground, having suffered a severe heart attack; fellow volunteer Kevin Stewart was already administering CPR. “I noticed somebody on the ground with another gentleman, and I asked them if they wanted help,” recalled Walker. “It turned into a situation with CPR. We both attended him and waited for the paramedics and the fire department.” In the end, McAllister’s life was saved; doctors later confirmed that without the immediate and proper application of CPR, he surely would have succumbed to the heart attack. Walker’s efforts were formally recognized Aug. 31, when he was presented with a St. John Ambulance National Lifesaving Award at Martha’s
Table. Walker and seven others at the local UPS branch had taken a CPR and First Aid course through St. John Ambulance last November as part of a corporate program to educate employees on life-saving techniques. “It was amazing [to save somebody’s life],” Walker remarked. “I’m just glad it turned out well, because we worked on him for quite a while. You just don’t know [when you’re performing CPR] what can happen...but you go on and hope for the best. I wanted to do what I had to do – anything to help.” Incidentally, McAllister wasn’t even supposed to have been volunteering at Martha’s Table that day. “If John had been at home by himself he wouldn’t be here today,” said Martha’s Table Managing Director Ronda Candy. “He just happened to be in that day dropping something off or picking something up, and he just collapsed. It was Kevin Stewart’s first day on the job, and Brad just came in to see if his daughter could volunteer.” Candy noted that the serendipitous sequence of events “was a real [communal] effort where everybody came to-
gether to save John’s life.” “I feel very close to [Walker and Stewart], very appreciative,” said McAllister. “I’m glad they were here [and] I thanked them very much...It was just luck of the draw. If nobody here had known how to do [CPR], I wouldn’t be here. It’s as simple as that.” The devoted Martha’s Table volunteer is looking forward to spending many more years helping those in need. “I’m 64, I’d like to keep going for as many years as I’ve got,” he said. “It makes me feel good to help homeless people who haven’t got anything.” Gord Hunter, manager of the Loyalist St. John Ambulance branch, pointed out that performing CPR for more than eight minutes – as Walker and Stewart did – is no easy task. “Even when we’re doing training, if you do it for two minutes, you’re done, you’re tired,” he said. “You’re sweating and your arms are sore... It’s a good thing that they were both trained because one person doing it for that long would be exhausted.” Hunter hopes that this situation will motivate more people to become trained in First Aid and CPR. Currently, less than 15 per cent of the popula-

spired Martha’s Table to organize a training session for volunteers. Currently, the organization is also trying to raise $2,100 for an AED (automated external defibrillator), which significantly increases a patient’s chance of survival in the event of a medical emergency such as heart attack.
Walker also stressed the importance of becoming educated in First Aid skills, noting that the course is really not as difficult or time-consuming as many assume. “Take the course,” he advised. “It really does work in many aspects...[then you can] at least try and do [what you can] to help out.”

Kinsmen member helps send busload of underprivileged local youth to camp By Hollie Pratt-Campbell

ise were amazing.” The families at KFPH also chipped in, contributing $10 each for a total of $1,000. During the children’s week in the Kawarthas, Hanes, Malecki and Heroux visited Camp Maple Leaf for the day to see how they were doing. It was Hanes’ first trip back since his counsellor days, and he notes that there have been many changes over the years – including the addition of a zip line and climbing wall. “It was really, really special for me to go back to the camp,” he says. “I always loved Camp Maple Leaf, and I was very sad when it came time to move on in my life…So for me it was really cool just to be involved with it again.” Watching the children enjoy themselves, he notes, was an equally priceless experience. “To see these kids climb up to the zip line platform… they were scared to go but they would overcome that and do it [anyway] and have a great time…you could almost see their confidence grow. It was just so fulfilling for me I can’t even express it.” Hanes’ advice to those

been a very humbling experience. I’m just so lucky that everything fell in order - that the Kinsmen turned out to be a good fit for me and [that] they were open to the idea of sending these kids to camp.” Next year, Hanes is set-
ting his sights even higher, and hoping to send two busloads of kids to Camp Maple Leaf. He is planning to host, among other things, a curling bonspiel and a golf tournament in order to help raise funds.

EMC News - Local real estate agent and new Kinsmen Club of Kingston member Ryan Hanes had a dream to send a busload of local underprivileged children to camp – a dream that became reality two weeks ago, thanks to the cooperation and generosity of his fellow Kinsmen, as well as his former co-workers at the Kingston Frontenac Housing Corporation (KFHC). The destination of choice was Camp Maple Leaf. Located on a 104-acre island in the Kawarthas, it was established by the War Veterans Council of Canada in 1955 in order to provide an inclusive camp experience for all children. “The idea is that no kid should ever be turned away from camp,” explains Hanes. ”It’s a camp for at-risk, vulnerable, underprivileged children that wouldn’t have been able to go on their own.” Hanes was a counsellor at Camp Maple Leaf in the early ‘90s, and saw first hand the benefits a week at camp can bring to youth. “It was just a great place,” he recalls. “You see these kids come down from To-
ronto and Hamilton. They had never been anywhere except an urban environment, and [spending time at camp] would have a really great effect on them.” During his time as a counsellor, Hanes witnessed many children come in with behavioural issues, which vastly improved by the end of their stay. “They’re part of a cabin with a group of peers” he says. “And throughout the week they’re doing different team building events…I think that camaraderie really helps as well.” Hanes thus made a motion that the Kinsmen provide the funds to send 35 local children to Camp Maple Leaf. It passed unanimously, and the group agreed to write a cheque for $18,000 toward the cause. He then worked closely with Kasia Malecki and Mary-Louise Heroux at the KFHC to identify which children would be sent. “We wanted to send kids who wouldn’t be able to go any other way, so our criteria matched the same criteria to get into housing,” he explains. “They were able to find 35 kids that were willing to go and off they went. I couldn’t have done it without them – Kasia and Mary-Lou-

Local author debuts latest book at Kingston WritersFest Kristen Coughlar
kcoughlar@perfprint.ca
EMC Lifestyle – Sarah Yi-Mei Tsiang has had a busy year. After launching her first children’s book, A Flock of Shoes, last October, followed by her first collection of poetry, Sweet Devilry, in April, the local Kingston author will now be debuting her third piece of work and second children’s book, Dogs Don’t Eat Jam and Other Things Big Kids Know, at this year’s Kingston WritersFest.
Follow us on
EMCNews Find out what’s going on within your community... Anytime, Anywhere.
“It’s about an older sister who is helping her new-born sibling in the world and kind of teaching him everything that she’s learned so far, which is a lot,” Tsiang explained. She said the piece originally started off as an autobiography of a four-year-old child. “I was thinking of everything that a child accomplishes from zero to four, and that if we could continue upon that level of accomplishment we would all be past Olympic athletes, we would all speak like 32 languages; the amount they have learned is just mind boggling,” she said. “So originally it was just her, but then we thought it might be nicer if she was sharing her knowledge, showing the love, and everything that is to come.” Throughout the book, the experienced four-year-old shares everything from how to walk and deal with parents, to appropriate items to feed the dog with her newborn brother. “It’s a celebration of all that children have accomplished at the tender age of four,” Tsiang said. The book launch, a free event, will take place Sunday, Sept. 25 at Bellevue North at the Holiday Inn from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. The event will include
coffee and jam-based treats, as well as a reading and children’s activity. “Because this started as an autobiography we were thinking that what we could do is each kid can write a little book about the advice they have to give from what they’ve learned out of life so far,” Tsiang said. In addition to launching her latest children’s book, Tsiang will also be participating in three other Kingston WritersFest events: Creative Writing for Teens on Sept. 24 from 11 am. to 12:30 p.m., How to Start a Writing Group Sept. 24 from 4 pm. to 5:30 p.m., and New Voices in Verse Sept. 25 from 12 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. with fellow authors Amanda Jernigan, Michael Lista, Sandra Ridley and Lorna Crozier. “Some of my favourite writers are going to be there, so I’m super excited about meeting them. Like Lorna Crozier is going to be the one doing the panel that I’m on for poetry; I’ve never met her, but I’ve read so much of her stuff, and it’s going to be hard not to be tongue-tied in admiration in front of her.” For more information on Sarah Ye-Mei Tsiang visit http://sarahtsiang.wordpress. com/.

Guard donkeys and soap making
EMC Lifestyle - Liv Simpson makes goat’s milk soap from scratch. Literally. She even has her own goats. And donkeys to protect them. Liv Simpson’s a city girl. She married her country boy husband, Justin, who hails from Enterprise. “I always wanted to be in the country,” said Simpson. “We moved and stayed with family in Enterprise. It was a temporary thing that lasted six years.” A few years back they bought their own farm, along with a couple of donkeys for protection. I didn’t quite get the protective aspect to the donkeys. Despite spending much time on friends’ farms and out in the woods, it never occurred to me that a donkey could be like Anubis, Egyptian guardian of the underworld. “Their classic hee-haw sends away any coyotes that are nearby,” said Simpson. “Coyotes usually won’t bother you if you have donkeys. That’s good for our goats.” I learn something new every day. Ever wonder what’s in cleansers you use on your body? Many of the ingredients in commercial skin products are not particularly good for you. For example, both sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and the closely related sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) are common ingredients
in soap, shampoo and toothpaste. Both chemi-
cals are effective surfactants, foaming agents. They’re used because they are cheap. SLS is the same ingredient you’ll find in a car wash or garage, where it is used to degrease car engines. Not only does SLS dissolve skin oil, it also dries the skin and denatures proteins, allowing environmental contaminants easier access to the

ers’ market in Napanee last year after I had a kitchen full of soap and my husband said, ‘Are you going to try to sell that?’ There are so many repeat customers. It’s been word of mouth. The house is full of hundreds of bars of soap. We’re putting in a new kitchen because now we have one that’s fully devoted to soap making.” The next step for Liv Simple Farms is to obtain new equipment so more soap can be made at one time. They’ll be sticking to the naturally handmade philosophy. You can check out the soap at the Napanee Farmers Market, where they sell their wares every second Saturday. In the off-season, you can drive to the farm in Enterprise. Liv Simple Farms also delivers. They hope to soon have website-ordering available. Simpson said she’ll also be hosting shopping parties
for Christmas. There’s nothing simple about Liv Simple Farms. In addition to the goats, Simpson and her husband also have a toddler, Griffin. Anyone who’s ever had a two-year-old knows that’s a full-time job in itself. How does Simpson combine parenting a toddler, goat keeping and soap making? “It’s hard,” she said. “Soap making is a night time job for me. My husband does the bedtime routine with our son. I wait until after bedtime. I don’t want to be soap making with a two-year-old running around. I stay up really late. But it means I’m always at home. “We’re just a small family making a living here doing something we love.” Contact: call 613-3585835; or email livsimplefarms@gmail.com.

own. They’re easy keepers, aside from the milking every day.” Simpson freezes the milk for the cold-processing. She explained that when the lye mixes with milk along with fats and oils and is frozen, it doesn’t burn. By the time the soap is completed, the lye is gone. Through a chemical reaction process called saponification, the fats combine with the alkali (lye). The products of the reaction are soap and glycerin. The goat’s milk soap business has taken off this year. “It’s grown faster than I’d anticipated,” said Simpson. “I started going to the farm-

lower, sensitive layers of the skin. Most disturbing, SLS is absorbed into the body. Once absorbed, it mimics the activity estrogen. If you’re using Liv Simple goat’s milk soap, you won’t have to worry about harsh artificial chemicals scouring your epidermis. “People probably don’t realize that goat’s milk is full of vitamins and minerals that are so good for the skin,” Simpson said. “Even before adding all the other plant oils, it’s a beneficial and extremely mild soap good for all types of skin.” Liv Simple Farms uses only plant-based essential oils in their soaps. Simpson’s favorite is lavender. True to form, she grows her own. “Lavender has relaxing properties,” said Simpson. “The scent helps people sleep. It can be used for headaches and insomnia. It’s so mild, it’s one of the few essential oils you can use directly on the skin.” Liv Simple Farms consists of a small herd of Saanen and Alpine dairy goats. The soapmaking is done in an old-fashioned manner. Simpson hand milks the goats every night. “Handmade soap contains natural glycerin created by the soap making process,” said Simpson. “Glycerin attracts moisture to the skin. It is retained in the final product, unlike commercial soaps where it is removed, leaving the soap moisturizing and nourishing with a silky lather.” Simpson’s been making natural body products for a number of years. She found her niche in goat’s milk soap. She started off using storebought goat’s milk, but wanted to do it all herself. “I told my husband I wanted to get a dairy goat,” she said. “He rolled his eyes. But then he took me and we got our first three goats. I wanted pets we could raise and do something with. I didn’t want to send them out to slaughter.” They started to breed them and now have 14 goats. “They’re awesome, the most adorable creatures,” she said. “They’re all different and have personalities of their

EMC News – Newborns at Kingston General Hospital will reap the benefits of a recent donation to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 631 presented at cheque for $6,277.89 to the fundraising arm for KGH, Hotel Dieu and Providence Care on behalf of the Ontario Provincial Command Branches and Ladies Auxiliaries Charitable Foundation during an intimate ceremony last Wednesday. “We’ve been working with the legion charitable foundation for many years, and I believe that it’s up over $95,000 that you’ve given us in total over the years,” said Nancy Druick, senior development officer with the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation, noting that Wednesday’s donation is a portion of a total of $21,000 being donated to Kingston’s hospitals this year. Presentations to Providence Manor and Hotel Dieu are forthcoming. The more than $6,000 donated to KGH will be used for the purchase of three bassinettes. “We need many at the hospital as you can imagine, and a lot of the one’s that we have now are older and we’re starting to need new ones,” Druick said.
She noted that donations like the one from the Ontario Provincial Command Branches and Ladies Auxiliaries Charitable Foundation help to improve patient care, in this instance providing a better environment for newborn babies. “The government doesn’t pay for all of the equipment at our hospitals, so we have to go to the community to help, and our legion foundation, as well as the branches themselves, has been extremely generous over the years, so it’s been a real big help.” The money that was donated to KGH was the result of poppy tagging, lotteries, and activities of the Ladies Auxiliary, including things such as fashion shows and bake sales. The Royal Canadian Legion has more than 400 branches and 297 Ladies Auxiliaries throughout Ontario. The charitable foundation is a partnership of these branches and their auxiliaries in Ontario Command. “The idea back 31 years ago when it was formed was that branches tried to help the community with the money they raised from poppy funds, but any individual branch for the most part couldn’t raise that much to give any significant amount. Someone came up with the idea that we pool the

MOVIE: Conan the Barbar-
STARRING: Jason Momoa, Rachel Nichols, Rose McGowan, and Stephen Lang DIRECTOR: Marcus Nispel Rating: R
Canada Jack
By JoHn tUcKER
EMC Entertainment - The world of Conan has always been a place of dark sorcery and danger. It’s a cruel and bloody mythology that the new Conan the Barbarian captures beautifully. After 20 years Conan (Jason Momoa) has finally tracked down the man responsible for the murder of his father and the destruction of his people. When Conan was a boy a madman named Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang) attacked his village looking for a powerful magical item. It was a piece of a mask crafted by an evil and powerful necromancer called Asharam. Zym, with his witch daughter Marique (Rose McGowan) at his side, took the final piece and left Conan to die with his father. However Conan didn’t die. He survived and swore vengeance. Zym is now a powerful king, but not yet a god. He has the mask but he’s been unable to find the proper sacrifice to activate its power. He needs the blood of the last descendent of Asharam, but just when he finally finds her Conan is there to rescue her. Conan takes Tamara (Rachel Nichols) thinking he can
use her to get to Zym. However things are never that simple. If Conan cannot stop Zym then all the nations of Hyboria will be under his heel. I love a good sword and sorcery film, and no other character defines the genera better than Conan. He’s one of the great heroes of the fantasy world so I was thrilled to hear Hollywood was making a new Conan. I don’t want to compare this Conan to Arnold’s Conan. The two films are worlds apart and both have their merits. Of this new Conan I will say it was good. It probably won’t make cult classic status, but it was good. The effects are amazing. The story is exciting, and has that edge that comes from a darker kind of fantasy where life is measured on the point of a sword. It’s bloody, gory, and everything Conan should be. It’s not easy to play an icon, but Jason Momoa was well cast to try. He had the ferocity, rage, and grim sense of purpose that are hallmarks of Conan. There’s no question he looked the part, and he could definitely swing a sword. I thought he smiled and laughed a little too much for Conan, but to be fair he had a lot more dialogue than a certain Austrian bodybuilder. Stephen Lang is incredible. He seems to be the go to guy when Hollywood needs a villain who’s older but can still exude an aura of power. He does it so well you can see why. As Zym you had no trouble believing Lang was a mad king bent on becoming a god. Rose McGowan is just plain creepy. I suppose she was supposed to be creepy so it was a great performance, but she’s still creepy. I liked Conan and I hope they make a few more. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

A wholesome loving spoonful: By Hollie Pratt-Campbell
hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca
EMC News - Fools will tell you that the best part of summer is over and done for the year, but the colourful array of fresh, local vegetables yielded in the latter part of the season suggests otherwise. That’s great news for the Loving Spoonful’s Grow A Row campaign, which is already 85 per cent of the way to its goal of collecting 5,000 lbs. of fresh produce this season. In partnership with the Partners in Mission Food Bank,
Grow a Row collects donations of healthy, locally-grown food all summer long. The food is then distributed amongst local shelters and soup kitchens, allowing the ever-increasing number of people using these emergency food services to gain access to the fresh, nutritious food that is often prohibitively expensive under normal circumstances. Grow A Row coordinator Kate Archibald-Cross explains that the ambitious goal was set in an attempt to surpass last year’s collection of just over 4,000 lbs. “We’re hopeful [we’ll make it], but not 100 per cent positive,”

she says. “You never know how the growing season is going to be, and it’s a matter of whether people know where we are and whether they can come find us and bring food to us.” The majority of the donations come from local farmers. “The farmers here at the market have been amazing,” says Archibald-Cross. “At the end of the day they bring us the stuff they don’t sell.” Other donations come from hobby gardens throughout the community. “We do have a lot of people who grow [vegetables specifically for Loving Spoonful] in their backyard, or who don’t even grow for us on purpose but just have something left over and they know we’re here,” she says, noting that it’s not too late for people to begin helping out, and that no donation is too small. In order to allow the food to last all year long, Grow A Row has begun hosting community kitchen events, at which donated goods are preserved for the offseason. Recently, for instance, they have been blanching fresh corn, removing it from the cob and freezing it. “It makes it that much more appealing to soup kitchens who may not be able to store giant banana boxes or corn….[or]

THAT’S LIFE
EMC - Your Community Newspaper
Lions, tigers and femurs, oh my! Pros and Cons of Learning life lessons at the zoo Sarah Crosbie Columnist scrosbie@theemc.ca
EMC Lifestyle - There we were, standing in the African pavilion, making our way to the gorillas, when we got stopped at what my son thought was a raccoon. I was happy just to get away from the python. Even when they are behind glass at the Toronto Zoo, I’m really, really scared of them. Snakes make my heart race ever since the childhood incident when my dad threw a big log from the cottage wood lot in the back of our station wagon and a snake (obviously, not a python but just as scary!) slithered out of the log, through the back seat, into the front seat, and up my leg. We were in front of the ‘raccoon’ zoo exhibit when another family moved in front of us. “Hellooooo, you little cute femur!” a woman dressed in head-to-toe pink cooed to the creature.
She pulled her son over to the glass to get a look at the bright-eyed animal. “Look at the femur’s tale. Isn’t he amazing. Helloooo, you little guy.” “Honey, come look at the femur!” she yelled to her husband, who was slowly making his way over to the black-and-white ring-tailed primate. Parents who have young children are lucky if they ever get to see a movie that’s not animated. My past year at the theatre has gone something like this: Smurfs, Kung Fu Panda 2, Rio and Gnomeo and Juliet. But, sometimes, kids’ movies can teach you a thing or two: Like, I know the little raccoon-like creatures are not femurs thanks to the nutty King Julian and has band of troublemakers in the Madagascar movies. Most days, I would have rolled my eyes at this woman (who was obviously not in the pink) while she basically called these creatures (repeatedly) “little cute thigh bone.” But I’d already learned an important parenting lesson at the zoo. I’d had my humble pie (and my lunch at the Caribou Café) after we visited the Sharks at Sting-
ray Bay exhibit, where you get to reach into a shallow pool and pet nurse, cownose and bonnethead sharks and southern stingrays. We were told to pet Jaws and co. on their backs – and not to touch their tails. Smiling children leaned over the small salt-water pool wall while their parents took photos. I reached in and touched the shark and a stingray. Their skin was smooth – like the soft stretch of our arm from the elbow to the wrist. The spines on the stingray tales are trimmed to make them safe to touch. I wanted my four-yearold son to feel the water creatures, too. “Look at the shark. Isn’t he amazing!” I said to my son. I grabbed his hand to try and put it in the shark tank. He yanked it back. “I don’t want to,” he whispered. But I wanted him to touch the sharks and stingrays. We’d come all this way. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the other kids were doing it. I didn’t want him to regret not trying it. He needed to be brave. And then I saw the tears welling up in his eyes and,
soon, they were rolling down his cheeks. “Mommy, I’m scared,” he whispered, just before he wrapped his little arms around me, looking for reassurance and protection. I could have just coaxed him (bullied him?) into putting his hand in the pool, but at that moment, I thought about the animal I’m scared of – and realized that no bribing, pleading or begging would get me to put my hand into a snake pit – so why would I expect my little guy to want to do the same? We washed our shark hands and headed off to the next exhibit. The playful polar bears made all the bad shark and stingray thoughts go away. And then we saw bearded dragons, elephants, hippopotamuses, jellyfish and giraffes. Oh, yeah – can’t forget the femur. • Sarah Crosbie hadn’t been to the Toronto Zoo since a Grade 2 trip 27 years ago. There are still just as many Canadian Geese as she remembered. Listen to her weekday mornings on K-Rock 105.7 and find her at sarahcrosbie.com.
school uniforms Should the day ever arrive when school uniforms are mandatory, that day would mark the end of a long-running debate. Parents on both sides of the debate make valid points as to the advantages and disadvantages of school uniforms. Parents undecided about the issue should consider the following pros and cons before making a decision of their own. Pro: School uniforms will save parents money. The premise here points to parents spending lots of money each year on school clothes for children, money that would be saved if every school required uniforms. Con: Those opposed to school uniforms note that those uniforms are expensive and don't offer the versatility of normal wardrobes because they cannot be worn outside of school. Pro: School uniforms help kids establish themselves on merit rather than money and wardrobe. Here, proponents of school uniforms argue that too often at schools without uniforms a student's social status and popularity is
based on his or her clothing. Uniforms, the theory suggests, will encourage kids to establish their reputations more on merit and personal character instead of what clothes they can or can't afford. Con: Those against school uniforms argue that school uniforms actually deter and discourage students from expressing their individuality. Choosing their own clothing, however, allows them to express themselves. Pro: School uniforms might help deter violence at schools. Over the years gangs have adopted certain colors or styles of clothing by which to identify themselves. By making school uniforms mandatory, this might help reduce instances of gang-related violence as students will no longer be afforded the opportunity to tailor their daily wardrobe to match their gang affiliation. Con: Opponents of school uniforms typically feel that this argument punishes students who are not in or associated with gangs and have therefore earned the right to wear the clothing of their choice.

FOOD AND STUFF
EMC - Your Community Newspaper
Keep the food processor in sight not hidden away EMC Lifestyle - You’re probably familiar with the saying “Out of sight, out of mind.” This is particularly true of kitchen appliances such as the food processor. If it’s not right there on the counter in front of you, you probably aren’t using it as often as you could. I keep mine within easy reach on the kitchen counter, and it’s the appliance I use more than any other except the microwave oven. A food processor is one of the best time-saving tools when it comes to food preparation. With kids and family returning to school and work, now’s the time to keep your food processor in sight and to put it to work. For example, it takes almost no time at all to prepare sandwich fillings when you don’t have to do all the chopping, slicing and mixing by
hand. Whether you’re making egg, chicken, tuna or ham, here are some tips to help you get the most out of your food processor. If you have to chop celery, onion, carrots or pickles for a sandwich filling, first cut them into 1” chunks. Process them together before you add the main ingredient. Because the vegetables are solid, they need more processing time than the softer ingredients. If you put all the ingredients in at the same time, the veggies would be unevenly chopped while the meat would be pureed. Once the veggies have been chopped or shredded, cut the eggs in half, if that’s what you’re using, or break fish or meat into chunks. Add them to the processor bowl, and process for just 10-15 seconds. Stop before the mixture reaches spreading consistency
Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW
because it is going to be processed more once you’ve added the mayonnaise. After you add the mayo, process for just 5-10 seconds. It doesn’t take very long for the sandwich filling to reach a good consistency. Too long, and it will be pureed into a paste. The food processor also works well for mixing cookie dough if the batter isn’t too stiff. Particularly with peanut butter or sugar cookies, it gives the dough a well blended, smooth consistency. No more lumps of peanut butter that aren’t mixed in.
Don’t use the food processor to make chocolate chip cookies however as the heat from the motor will start to melt the chocolate. Muffins or tea biscuits can also be mixed in the food processor, but don’t over-process the batter. Otherwise, the baked muffin or biscuit may be tough. Sometimes I use the food processor just to break up bananas or oranges for muffins, then I mix the batter by hand in a mixing bowl. You can use your food processor to help prepare ingredients for supper as well. Shred
it, and you’ll find lots of other ways to use it.
cheese for tacos or tostados. Chop onions and celery for any dish from spaghetti to meat loaf. Slice carrots or cucumbers for salads. And it’s hard to find a better tool for blending the ingredients for dips or spreads. The food processor produces a smooth creamy texture, particularly when a recipe calls for a thick ingredient such as cream cheese. I find that the food processor doesn’t work well for pureeing soups though as they invariably leak out around the top, or out through the hole in the center. While a blender is better for actually pureeing soups, the food processor can be used to slice mushrooms for cream of mushroom soup or onions for French onion soup. Keep that food processor out where you can see

Living works of art Mark Bergin Columnist mbergin@theemc.ca
EMC Lifestyle - Jennifer Bursey’s art is a celebration of life. The human body is her canvas. Bursey is a tattoo artist at Iron Legends at 432 Princess St. in Kingston. Hers is a primal art, one that allows the owner to express his or her individuality. The practice of colouring the body has existed for thousands of years. Tattooing has increased in popularity over the past couple of decades. Perhaps, as we feel more like objects and insignificant numbers, the tattoo allows us to scream

She met her future husband in Kingston. They moved to Perth while he attended Algonquin College. A tattoo shop in Perth hired her to do custom drawing. She also learned the basics of the tattoo craft. Iron Legends in Smiths Falls saw her work and wanted to hire her. When they heard she was planning on moving back to Kingston, they hired her for a new shop here. She said that about 90 per cent of the tattoos she creates are a custom designs. “A person tells us what they want, we draw the design,” she said. “They’re not going to run into someone else with the same tattoo.” Bursey is proud of her profession and the skills involved. “There’s so much to enjoy about my work,” she said. “The fact that I get to put my art out there and do what I love for a

living means I always like going to work. I can use my personality and skills and translate people’s ideas into the art.” Bursey’s laid back and highly professional at the same time. She has an accepting and warm personality that puts her clients at ease. One of the first things I noticed as she worked on a client was how much she smiles and chats as she works. There’s an air of artistic confidence when she’s in her creative zone. Bursey doesn’t take her work lightly. She said it’s important to understand health issues regarding blood-borne pathogens and the requirements for a hygienic shop. “I’m constantly changing gloves, cleaning, doing everything to avoid cross contamination.” She advises potential clients to choose their artist carefully. Tattooing is a craft that takes a long time to perfect. She said she never stops learning. There are always new techniques to master. Tattoo artists do not require
licensing, so it’s important to shop around and find someone legitimate. “Go to a storefront shop,” she said. “That’s where you’ll find professionals doing it for a living. Check out the cleanliness. Ask anything you want about the equipment and tools. You need to be comfortable with the artist.” She said the shop reserves the right not to tattoo someone. “We refuse to tattoo anything with negative racial tones.” She also said she’s careful when it comes to the hands or neck, areas that can’t be covered. “Sometimes I’ll try to talk someone out of something, especially younger clients. It used to be that you got a tattoo to rebel. Nowadays, young people are pushing the limit and getting more extreme tattoos.” Bursey has more tattoos than I could count. “A lot of my own are mostly related to cats and ladies,”

she said. “I’m a crazy cat lady. I’m also inspired by song lyrics.” When I met with Bursey last week, she was creating a tattoo on Corri Bryant. “My mother’s always had them, flowers and pretty things,” said Bryant. “All my tattoos are personal reminders, like a permanent sticky note.” Her most recent tattoo didn’t involve an image, but words inspired by Marilyn Monroe: “I’m pretty, but I’m not beautiful. I sin, but I’m not the devil. I’m good, but I’m not an angel.” The creation of the tattoo took about an hour and a half. As she worked on Bryant, Bursey kept checking in: “How are you doing?” “Holding up okay?” Bursey said many people hold up well under the tattoo needle for about two or twoand-a-half hours, but then need a break. “The adrenalin keeps them going until that point,” she said. “Then they’re worn out.” She said the most painful locations for tattoos involve nerves, tendons and bones. “Anywhere nerve endings are close to the skin hurt more,” she said. “The chest, ribs, top of the foot or hand.” She said women handle the pain better than men do. The longest Bursey’s ever spent on a single tattoo is 11 hours. Tattoos requiring a lengthy time are usually broken into multiple shorter sessions. Her lengthiest non-stop stint must come close to deserving inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records. “I did a marathon for 27 hours in Perth,” she said. “It was a good cause. The money was going to an animal welfare society. I love animals.” She laughed. “I was surprised by how many people were willing to get tattooed by someone who’d been working for that many hours.” For more information: www.ironlegends.com

Regin anxious to shoulder bigger load for Sens By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Peter Regin is finally healthy again and hungry for a new beginning. With shoulder surgery and months of rehabilitation now behind him, the Ottawa Senators centre is anxiously awaiting a shot at redemption when the puck drops to start the 2011-12 campaign. Surely, he can’t wait to erase the memory of a season which saw Regin produce just three goals and 17 points in 55 games before a left shoulder injury brought an early end to his year. “Not only that it ended that way, but my whole season ... I know I can play better,” a determined Regin, 25, said at the Bell Sensplex, where he’s been taking part in informal workouts with some of his Senators teammates. “Most of the guys in the room know that they can play better. So I think we’re all excited to be back and to really show that we’re a better hockey team than we showed last year.” Bigger things were expected out of the native of Herning, Denmark, on the heels of a strong performance against the Pittsburgh Penguins in
the opening round of the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs — Regin was arguably the Senators’ best player in the six-game series — but he never hit his stride last season. Just when he felt he was turning the corner, Regin tumbled awkwardly in the boards in a Feb. 19 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He hasn’t seen any game action since then. “The last five or six games I played, I felt like I was turning it around and kind of player better,” he said. “I was working toward finishing strong, and to get hurt and be on the sidelines was tough. So I was disappointed, but there’s not much you can do. You just try to do all the stuff you can do with the rehab and make sure you follow that so it won’t be a problem in the future.”

surgery and how it was going to be be. It was my first major surgery, but it turned out great. I’m happy that I did it. (The shoulder) has been bothering me for two years now, so it was nice to finally get it done. Now it feels as good as it did before.” Though he’s entering the final year of his contract, Regin insists he’s not using that as motivation for a big season. He simply wants to be the best that he can be. “I kind of had a disappointing year last year and you want to turn it around,” he said. “You can’t have too many bad years in this league and hang around, so I have to improve myself. I’ll try to relax a little bit more and just go out and play and do my thing. I think it’ll be better if I just do that.”
HOCKEY

Senators invite 23 players to annual rookie tournament The Ottawa Senators preseason, sponsored by Canadian Tire local dealers, begins this week with the team’s annual rookie camp. Twenty-three players have been invited by the Senators to take part in a four-team round-robin tournament beginning Saturday at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ont. Joining the Senators prospects are squads from the Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins and host Toronto Maple Leafs. The Senators rookies will be led by Kurt Kleinendorst, head coach of the Calder Cupwinning Binghamton Senators, and assistant Steve Stirling. Ottawa’s hockey staff will also be in Oshawa for the tournament. The squad is comprised of two goaltenders, seven defencemen and 14 forwards (complete roster below). Eighteen (18) players were drafted by the Senators, three were signed as free agents, one player was acquired via trade and one is participating under an amateur tryout agreement. Eight of the invited players saw American Hockey League action last season, while forward Stephane Da Costa, defenceman Patrick Wiercioch and goaltender Robin Lehner played their first NHL games with the Senators during the 2010-11 campaign. The Senators’ 2011 rookie tournament roster is also comprised of five first-round NHL draft picks – Jared Cowen (ninth, 2009), David Rundblad (17th, 2009), Mika Zibanejad (sixth, 2011), Stefan Noesen (21st, 2011) and Matt Puempel (24th, 2011). The Ottawa Senators’ 201112 rookie tournament roster is as follows: Goaltenders: Robin Lehner (Binghamton - AHL, Ottawa - NHL), Matej Machovsky
Following his surgery at the end of February, Regin spent the first two months of his rehab in Ottawa under the watchful eyes of the Senators training staff before returning to Denmark for the summer. “The (Senators) staff helped me out a lot and I’m thankful for that,” he said. “I came back here in July to have it checked and everything was good, so I went back home again and trained more.” Earlier this month, Regin skated with his hometown pro team, the Herning Blue Fox, to test out the shoulder. Those results were encouraging as well. “I’ve been skating a little bit with contact and stuff,” said Regin. “I don’t feel it at all, so it shouldn’t be a problem ... I was a little worried before the

Sacrifices had to be made during the Depression EMC Lifestyle - The first day of school was ahead of us. Although Emerson lamented that he hated the very thought of going off to the Northcote School for another year, saying he was old enough to get a job, we all knew he would be heading out the lane with the rest of us, come Monday morning. Things were so different back then. Nothing was supplied by the school. Everything had to be bought, and for our family that presented a hardship that I remember as clearly as if that first day of going off to school were yesterday. Fraser and Smart’s drug store in Renfrew would be well prepared for the hundreds of children who came there every year for their school supplies. The centre of the store would be cleared of all their regular merchandise, and long straightlegged tables would be put up in place of counters. And the school books would be stacked according to grades. The store would have gotten the list from the school board, and also the
Renfrew Mercury, the week before school started, would print what books we would all be expected to have. I remember one year above all others. It was the year I fully realized what it meant to be the youngest in a family of five children who all had to have books for the Northcote school. And also, how my Mother had to wheel and deal to come up with the money for Fraser and Smart’s Drug store. That Saturday morning we were out of bed at the crack of dawn. Mother had set buns the night before, and freshly churned butter had been pressed into molds. The brothers were sent to the chicken house to get four fat birds ready to take into town. Rarely were we five children taken into Renfrew on a Saturday morning. Always, a few of us had to stay home to do chores. But since we were all going back to school, we piled into the Model T, and with the butter, buns and cleaned and trussed-up chickens wedged between us, Mother turned the

car onto the Northcote Side road for the l2 ½ mile trip to Renfrew. And it was early morning when we hit the outskirts. Mother had special customers she called on regularly and she headed right for the houses she knew would be glad to get what she had crammed into the back seat of the Model T. And as we drove through the still quiet streets, we could see other farmers doing the same thing. They all needed a few dollars for school books, and peddling produce was one of the best ways of getting extra cash. Mother made wonderful sticky buns, and we were known for our fresh sweet butter, and our fat chickens
seemed to be much in demand. And so it wasn’t long before everything was sold. When we got to Fraser and Smart’s Drug store, the place was already full of boys and girls and their parents. My brothers and older sister headed for the tables with their supplies on them, and Mother took me over to the table that had a handmade sign on it which said “Primer Book”. She had her little change purse clutched tightly in her hand, and she even allowed me to pick out one of those wonderful little wood pencil boxes that I loved so much. With our arms full, we all headed for the cash counter, and a sales clerk added up everything on a piece of pa-
per. As we always did, we ran our hands over the brand new books...spellers, readers, and smooth papered scribblers for Everett and Audrey, and rough papered scribblers for the rest of us. And a new pencil each, and there I was with the wood pencil box clutched to my chest. I pictured in my mind what I would put in it. The sales clerk handed Mother the slip of paper, and Mother opened the little change purse and began counting out the money. She bent over the counter as if to take a closer look at the clerk’s figures. Then she recounted the money. It was soon very obvious to all of us that what she had in the purse didn’t match the figure on the paper. Mother looked over her five children and the supplies we had gathered from the table. And then her eyes came to rest on the wood pencil box. She had such a sad look on her face that I thought she was going to cry. And I was close to tears, because I knew what she was thinking with-
out asking. I took one more look at the box and then set it up on the counter. The sales clerk subtracted the figure from the list and Mother handed over the money from her change purse. She had only a few pennies left. Nothing was said as we left the store and climbed into the car for the ride back to Northcote. I felt I had to say something, but I had no idea what that would be. I wanted more than anything to spare my Mother any more pain. And then the thought came to me...it was almost as if some higher being had placed it in my mind. “I don’t really need a wood pencil box. The little drawstring one you made will be fine for another year. And besides my friend Joyce Francis lets me take her wood pencil box home any time I want it.” She patted my knee and turned the car onto the Northcote side road.
Hobbies for arthritis sufferers Individuals with arthritis are often stuck between a rock and a hard place. Doctors want people to exercise to keep up the range of motion in affected joints. However, even some limited movements can cause pain and suffering to those with arthritis. Furthermore, individuals with arthritis may shy away from the activities they once enjoyed because the pain is simply too overwhelming. Instead of simply sitting on the couch watching television, there are a number of different

things arthritis sufferers can do to pass the time and reconnect with past hobbies and interests. It might just take a little reoutfitting of the tools that are needed to participate.
Gardening Gardening is a popular pastime for people of all ages. But the repetitive motions of digging and tilling as well as gripping a multitude of tools can take the joy out of the hobby. People with arthritis can make some changes. Raised garden beds or container gardening eliminates the stooping and bending associated with traditional gardening. With containers, individuals can place the containers on a counter or table and do all the work at a comfortable height.
The Limestone District School Board, at its regularly scheduled meeting of May 18, 2011, approved the formation of a Program and Accommodation Review Committee (PARC) for the following elementary schools: Central P.S., First Avenue P.S., Frontenac P.S, J.G. Simcoe P.S. and Rideau Heights P.S. The Kingston North PARC will hold its first public meeting on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 6:30 p.m. John Graves Simcoe P.S. 90 Wiley St., Kingston
Crafting Many people with arthritis
find the fine-detail work they grew accustomed to is not very comfortable with arthritis. Instead, there are many other crafts that can be practical. Ceramics are one craft where the activity can also be the exercise. Using a pottery wheel or hand-molding doughs and other modeling media can be a way to stretch and work the hands and fingers. Using paintbrushes equipped with wider grips can make painting possible. Mural painting is another option. Again, those with arthritis can choose tools with wide handles to make grasping easier. Large designs on walls or canvases will be easier to handle than smaller pieces. Cooking Cooking and baking is an art form that can be enjoyed by anyone. Furthermore,
with ergonomic spoons, ladles and other kitchen tools, it has never been more convenient or less labor-intensive to be an accomplished home chef. Baking and pastry creation is one area where people can show off creative skills. For those who love to bake but have trouble kneading and working dough, food processors, bread machines and kitchen stand mixers can take the work out of those processes. Cooking is not only a rewarding hobby but also an activity that can benefit the household. Having arthritis doesn't mean a person has to give up on the activities he or she enjoys. It merely involves a few tweaks that can still make these hobbies enjoyable.
