EMC News - Think you’ve seen everything a Fort Henry Sunset Ceremony has to offer? Think again. Starting this year, the popular summer attraction has been moved to the later, darker time slot of 8:30 p.m., allowing the fort to come aglow with a dramatic new light show to complement the live performance of the Fort Henry Guard recreating an 1860s-style British military drill. The changes were made possible by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission investing over $750,000 in a state-of-the-art 2.5D projection system. Fort Henry general manager Will Baird explains that the intention is to bring to life the experience of the guard coming under attack with a new action-packed storyline projected onto the walls of the fort. “It’s a really great integration of modern technology and the history of the site,” Baird says. “Imagine, if you will, the guard

are now firing and all of a sudden a charge of cavalry is running towards you, or an enormous lion from England is roaring in your face at the same time that this battle is taking place and the music is being performed.” Baird says that a large part of the motive behind the changes is to try and encourage more local Kingstonians to come out to the show. “One of the challenges we have as a historic site is we can get all sorts of people to come and visit the site from all over the world – Germany, England, all over Europe and South America - but it’s really difficult to get people to come and visit us from as close as Bayridge and other nearby areas. The best way for us to do that is to create these special events and activities.” At the same time, Baird notes that it was important to maintain the strong foundations of the Sunset Ceremony that were already in place, including segments involving the Fort Henry Guard Drums, Drill Squad and Artillery Detachments, complete with the famous

and heart-pounding music and cannon fire. Indeed, one of the biggest challenges the Fort Henry team faced when bringing in the light show was figuring out how to best walk the fine line between being sensitive to the historic significance of the site and implementing these exciting new changes.

“One hundred per cent of the old show is still in place, because it was a great event - a top 100 event in Ontario in the past three years,” Baird says. “So we didn’t want to lose that fabric, but we also wanted to be able to attract new visitors and new people to the site.” The Sunset Ceremony is performed every Wednesday and

Saturday evening during the summer months at 8:30 p.m. Admission is $20 for adults, $17 for senior citizens and youth (6 to 12 years of age) and children 5 years of age and under are free.

Political pay cheques to be reviewed by a citizens committee Reporter

EMC News – Should Kingston city councillors get a pay raise? It’s a subjective and controversial question for many residents, but a more scientific and unbiased approach is now being used to find the answer. The pay cheques of future councillors are, once again, under review. The city is creating a citizens’ committee to determine whether Kingston’s elected officials deserve a raise when the next term of office begins in December 2014. The 8-member independent committee will be comprised of five citizens representing the health, business, non-profit, education and labour sectors, plus two citizens at large, and a former councillor. Applications are now being sought, and council is expected to appoint the committee to start its fact-finding work this summer. The ad hoc group is expected to meet for about one year to review the salaries of elected officials in similarsized cities with ward sys-

tems, and come up with an average pay scale for Kingston. The group’s report and recommendations will flow directly to council. “The proposed mandate of the committee also includes guidelines for determining comparator Councils to evaluate remuneration best practices,” according to a report from the clerk’s office. The new committee will also look at whether it’s time to consider the mayor or councillors as full-time politicians. They are still considered to be part-time elected officials. The salary and workload review comes just four years after the 12 councillors received a large pay increase of 46-percent for the work they do, while the mayor’s salary was hiked by 13 percent, based on the approved recommendations of a similar citizens’ committee. The former committee concluded the annual remuneration of a part-time councillor should rise to $27,500, while the mayor’s compensation should go to $84,500. Prior to that, council salaries had not been reviewed for nearly a decade.

Beat the

The last round of increases, which began in December 2010, also included built in raises every year to reflect the consumer price index. The mayor and councillors are also entitled to district travel and conference allowances. When the last council approved the raises it also set up a mechanism to ensure political pay rates would be reviewed every four years. Councillors have said their jobs are getting more complex and time consuming; sitting on committees, attending public meetings, responding to phone calls and emails and reading staff reports while many hold regular day jobs. Estimates vary, but councillors say they can put in anywhere from 20 to 50 hours a week on municipal business. The former council approved the last round of raises to reflect the civic workload and to provide enough incentive to attract future candidates. To cushion negative fallout, any pay changes would not kick-in until after the next election to remove any perception that current councillors are voting themselves a raise.

EMC News – Fresh from the controversy over music coming from an ice cream truck, a city councillor says it may be time to allow more food trucks on the roads and parks of Kingston. Coun. Dorothy Hector says there’s been a big increase in the number of food trucks this season, but the city’s street vendor licensing bylaw has not kept pace with the demand. She will bring a motion to council July 16 calling for a review of the licensing bylaw to “ensure wider choices” of street vendors and where they can serve customers around the city. “There’s been a tremendous change in what’s considered healthy eating options on the side of the street, and the City of Kingston has not made any changes to street vendor licensing in quite a long time,” she explained. Coun. Hector says her motion is being driven by public demand for more street food vending locations and food choices that go beyond the standard burger-andfries. Some local food trucks now sell everything from potato and cheese perogies to gourmet poutine and Mexican tacos. “The residents are asking for this, looking for options.” This year saw the launch of Farm Girl food truck serving gourmet food from the city’s midtown district and at special events. A handful of other proprietors are branch-

ing into the meals on wheels business as well, bringing more options to lunch-time workers and tourists. “It’s important for us to be on top of this new wave of healthy eating,” Hector explained. Of course, some vendors also cater to those with a sweet tooth. The popular Beaver Tail pastry dessert chain - familiar to wintertime Feb Fest goers - plans to set up a permanent franchise near Kingston’s waterfront, according to Hector. But street food vendors can’t just park anywhere they want to. The current bylaw limits the number and location of food vendor licenses, forcing many licensed food truck operators to sell from private lots adjacent to busy streets. The bylaw restrictions and licensing fees were partly designed to protect existing restaurants – those that pay a generous heaping of property taxes - from curbside competitors that roll in. Coun. Hector says her motion is not designed to put current businesses in peril but, rather, to expand food truck locations to non-traditional areas that may be underserviced, such as public parks, trails and other municipal properties without many restaurants around. “It’s time to start making those changes.” The bylaw review motion, if approved by council, would still be subjected to public and food industry comments at the administrative policies committee before any changes are adopted. Coun. Hector’s motion seeks to have recommendations provided to council by March 2014.

Neighbourhood condo opponents get crash course on planning process By Bill Hutchins Reporter

committee could stop the threestorey, 41-unit building based on their strong objections. However, Coun. Bryan Paterson, who chairs the committee, says the nature of the site plan control application left the committee powerless to help residents. “Many of their concerns we were not in a position to address,” he remarked of the process. Coun. Paterson added: “When we bumped up the site plan we were giving them false hope that we could somehow overturn the zoning of that property, which we could not.” The planning process allows individual councillors to request a ‘bump up’ of the site plan ap-

proval of certain projects where strong objections are raised – essentially allowing politicians a chance to scrutinize the technical and aesthetic points of a development, rather than let delegated staff finalize approvals, as it what typically happens with site plan applications. But because the 0.5 hectare land zoning of Augusta Glen Condominium was never in question there was little that councillors or the community could do to overturn the project. Instead, the committee was relegated to debating the finer points of the condo, such as on-site parking, fencing, garbage storage, landscaping, bicycle racks and other amenities that are part of a

that neighbourhood to regulate the traffic better.” Downes says another benefit to arise from the condo discussion is that it led to the formation of a neighbourhood association to speak with one voice. “Sometimes it takes a controversial issue like that to bring people together.” Residents also felt betrayed into thinking the vacant lot would be developed solely for commercial uses when they purchased their homes. Instead, the original developer sold the land to G.C.L Developments Ltd. in 2011 which brought forward the condo plan. The base purchase price for units is expected to start at $190,000. “The developer is a good developer and he listened very carefully to what they said,” Downes remarked of the public outcry. However, Coun. Paterson cautioned his colleagues that ‘bumping up’ site plan applications has more to do with how a development looks, not whether it’s needed. Speaking with reporters afterwards, Coun. Downes, who voted against the 740 Augusta site plan application, offered some buyer beware advice to future homeowners to check the established zoning of what’s around them. “Whenever people buy into a neighbourhood they have to educate themselves before they buy, and after the fact.”

residential site plan application. City planners endorsed the one and two-bedroom condo project, with 52 on-site parking spaces, as a permitted land use for the site. The 1997 Cataraqui North zoning bylaw allows an apartment building as a permitted use on the subject property. The condo’s site plan application was finalized by a 10-3 vote of council June 18 Mayor Mark Gerretsen cautioned council not to debate the “cars versus pedestrians” issue, even though that is what concerned residents the most, but to focus solely on the technical onsite amenities. With the all-clear for the condo construction to proceed, Coun. Downes still insists it is a victory for the neighbourhood because this project highlighted concerns over pedestrian safety on Crossfield Avenue and Augusta Drive. “Some good has come of it,” he observed. While the zoning merits of the project – which allowed for a condo in the first place – could not be challenged, Downes says city planners heard first-hand concerns from residents about the increasing impact on their safety, and that should bode well for future developments. “In that neighbourhood cars have taken over,” he asserted. “We have to continue to work on

Taste of Kingston returns for another year By Kelly Reid Correspondent

EMC Events - Taste of Kingston, an annual fundraiser that benefits the Canadian Diabetes Association, will be back in the city this Saturday, July 6. This year marks the festival’s 15th anniversary, and Canadian Diabetes Association representative Terry Cavanaugh is excited to welcome back many returning participants: Lone Star Texas Grill, CFB Kingston, the Kingston Fire Department, and others. “There’s a little bit of something for everyone,” Cavanaugh explains. The event isn’t just to showcase the city’s many restaurants. Though the tasting plates are a major draw to the event, Cavanaugh says that Taste of Kingston is “trying to encompass dif-

ferent things.” Now, in addition to sampling restaurant plates, families can enjoy seeing a Canadian Forces field kitchen, watch theatrical productions by Blue Canoe, take in some Ontario Championship wrestling, or just enjoy the park. Live entertainment will be performed by bands The Jaded Gentlemen and Big Mo and the Blues Mission. For those that still see tasting as the highlight, sample plates will be sold for anywhere from $1 to $5. Participating restaurants include Milestones, Grizzly Grill, King Street Sizzle, Farm Boy, Tim Hortons Cold Stone, and many others. The event also has a strong partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston, says Cavanaugh, so there will be a variety of activities geared

A colouring contest, demonstrations by some Kingston Frontenacs players, tours of a Kingston fire truck, and a bouncy castle are some of the fun that will be offered to the youth in the crowd. “The purpose is to not just fundraise but to raise the profile of Kingston,” Cavanaugh goes on.

In Our Opinion

Fashion: does it matter, or are we all just getting swindled and pimped? Hollie Pratt-Campbell Reporter

@hollieprattcamp

EMC Editorial - This started out as a column about my dislike of skinny jeans, but something just didn’t feel right. “That’s because clothes are stupid,” Steve informed me. “No matter what you write about them, you’re going to sound like a superficial moron.” Our conversation evolved into a fruitless debate about fashion and whether it matters. Is it worth it to invest time and money into choosing clothes that help project your desired image? How much should trends factor into your choice of outfit? Is it important to show that you’re attuned to what’s currently fashionable because it lends you an air of social competence? Or should you just stick to what is most flattering to your body and personality, regardless of whether it’s currently in style? My own relationship with clothing is complicated, as I’m sure it is for most people who decide that what they wear does, in fact, matter. Whenever I shop for clothes, I start out with the intention of buying a few practical items I know I will wear often – i.e. functional, work-friendly pants and shirts – and end up with a dress I absolutely adore, but might

wear once a month, weather permitting. Once the brief thrill of purchasing the new dress has subsided, I am left feeling guilty, empty and stupid for having failed once again at the very basic task of dressing myself. This pattern has played out ever since I was a little girl, but has occurred more frequently over the last few years due to “skinny” pants coming into style. I currently own about five pairs of skinny pants, partly because I don’t want to look like I’m unaware of the fact that they are in style, and partly because it’s virtually impossible nowadays to find women’s pants that are not skinny. Here’s the thing, though: I don’t love them. I mean, I love how they look on most people, and have seen many women of all shapes and sizes rock the skinny pant. I just don’t feel they suit my nerdy personality. I look in the mirror and see a frumpy mom circa 1995, not a hip young person circa 2013. I wear them because they’re easy and widely-accepted, not because they make me feel beautiful and confident. What does make me feel beautiful and confident? Pretty sweaters and blouses, skirts, dresses. Girlie things that highlight the upper portion of my body, which I don’t mind, as opposed to the lower, which I would rather not draw attention to. “Why don’t you just wear dresses and skirts all the time then?” my mom always says when I bring up this issue. My mom doesn’t understand the

mentality behind wanting to dress with the trends to a certain extent. Nor does she understand my reluctance to look like I’m dressing up for a wedding every single day, especially when my job often requires me to visit high schools, farms and other places where a dress would just look strange. Overdressing is kind of her thing, and she doesn’t care if people think it’s weird. In fact, of all the people I know, the person with the most defined personal style is my mom. Unless she is sleeping or exercising, my mom can be found in classic, well-made business attire 100 per cent of the time. If an article of clothing is polyester and/ or any colour other than black, white, brown or navy, mom won’t buy it. It’s not that her clothes are boring per se. Over the years, mom has been known to wear polka dots, summer-y white linen blazers (a departure from the usual black and navy ones) and fabulous strappy Gucci sandals. I envy her confidence to just say “screw the trends, I’m wearing what works for me”, and must admit that developing my own signature style is increasingly feeling like an appealing option. I would love to hear some of your opinions. Do you think people should stick to the clothes they know work for them, or is it better to try and follow the trends? Or do you agree with Steve that fashion is stupid? Should we all just make like Macklemore and hit up the thrift shop? What do you think?

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, July 4, 2013

EMC Editorial - Are stories of odious politicians with their hands in the public till getting you down? Ever wish there was a way to install a government that reflects your values, but just can’t seem to rally the support necessary around a single representative to overthrow the demagogic incumbent? Tragically, this is an all-too familiar topic for centrist electors at all levels of government across the country. Canada, with its first-past-the-post tradition of Westminster parliamentary democracy and multiplicity of political parties, has a history of electing unpopular representatives whose positions do not reflect the majority of the electorate, but who managed to attain high office through campaigns of divide and conquer. Case in point: despite an avalanche of scandals, each more embarrassing than the last, Rob Ford would almost assuredly win the Toronto mayor’s office again if an election was held today. This is largely because a plurality in the suburbs endorse his low-tax, procar agenda. In the city core, however, Ford is extremely unpopular for his uncaring, often scornful attitude toward issues like social housing, public transit and the environment. But what if we told you there was a system that does a better job of weighing the issues that matter to voters, and more equitably distributing voter say? Enter the ranked ballot initiative. Sometimes referred to as instant run-off voting (IRV), the system requires voters to list their choices in preferential order. If your candidate receives the least amount of votes, your vote is automatically transferred to your second choice, and the process continues until one candidate has over 50 percent of the vote. The system has the effect of eliminating vote-splitting, reducing strategic voting (voters would be free to vote their conscience), ensuring majority representation and discouraging negative campaigning. This month, Toronto City Council endorsed the plan, and is eyeing an implementation date before the decade is out. IRV is already in effect in several U.S. jurisdictions, including San Francisco and Oakland, CA, Portland, MA, and Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. We heartily endorse any system that would do a better job of representing voters while reducing the amount of vitriol and mudslinging currently plaguing the political process. Detractors will say the new initiative is too demanding of voters because it requires that they educate themselves and engage intelligently and constructively with a wide variety of complex and confusing issues. We think we’re ready for it.

Paramedic cuts underscore need to update amalgamation deal: Councillor By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – Stung by recent cuts to Kingston’s urban paramedic service, a city councillor is now calling on the provincial government to reopen the amalgamation deal between Kingston and Frontenac County. “I wish we could save money on our budget by cutting services in the County but we would never do that,” said Coun. Jim Neill. It’s been 15 years since municipalities were thrust together in a series of amalgamation governance and service sharing deals. The partnership is generally friction free, but local relations have been strained in recent months. “We’ve kept the peace because we’ve played nice, and I’m not sure this qualifies as playing nice when we are blindsided by a de-

cision,” explained Coun. Neill of recent ambulance cuts. He will present a motion at the July 16 council meeting to try and amend the 1998 provincial restructuring order that spells out the funding and service responsibilities of both governing bodies. He wants to add a new clause into the agreement to provide 30 days’ notice and initiate mandatory consultation if either the city or County governments want to change service levels. The motion is directed at the Ontario ministry of municipal affairs, which crafted the original agreement under former premier Mike Harris. Neill’s motion stems from the County’s unilateral decision earlier this year to remove one ambulance and lay-off four full-time paramedic positions as a $225,000 cost-saving measure. Several city councillors were irked because

the cuts were directed at the Palace Road ambulance station in the heart of Kingston. “At the very least they should have come to us and pleaded the case why that was the appropriate place to take an ambulance off,” explained Neill. City officials say they were notified of the pending service cuts last March, which took effect on the Victoria Day weekend, and there was not much they could do about it. The restructuring order gives Frontenac County exclusive control over ambulance service, including service levels to the city’s 120,000 residents. The order also stipulates that Kingston must pay 80 percent of EMS operating costs, or $6 million this year, with no say in how the money is spent. County officials appeared before council in May to explain the need for budget cuts. They said the

LET US HELP,

Palace Road station was targeted for a “manageable” service reduction because it could more easily absorb the elimination of an ambulance that was on the road for 12 hours a day. “These changes, of course, will affect response times but we will continue to meet the standard,” said Paul Charbonneau, the County’s director of the Frontenac paramedic service. The paramedics’ union waged a public campaign to overturn the cuts saying it will affect response times and put patient safety at risk. The County-set standard for paramedics to reach a patient within 8 minutes of a call - 68-percent of the time – will continue to be met. The pre-cut response rate was 8-minutes at 72-percent of the time, Charbonneau explained. Palace Road now has three am-

bulances - two on 24-hour shifts and one 12-hour vehicle. The four full-time paramedics affected by layoffs were reduced to part-time status, but continue to work fulltime hours for the time being because of temporary staff vacancies, he added. Coun. Neill says his motion aims to create a new consultation framework, but it still wouldn’t give the city a direct vote on the outcome of future decisions made by County council. Under the restructuring order, the County also collects millions of dollars from city taxpayers to operate Fairmount Home and rural roads based on a populationbased funding formula. Likewise, the city has exclusive cost-sharing control over joint services where the County doesn’t have a direct say, such as affordable housing, emergency shelters and daycares.

Meet Your Market Vendor: Fat Chance Farmstead By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle - Here in the Limestone City, we are very fortunate to have two vibrant markets: The Kingston Public Market, held Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays behind City Hall, and The Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market, held Sundays on the grounds of the Memorial Centre. Each is filled with a wide variety of vendors, who purvey locally produced food, fresh fruit and vegetables, and handmade crafts. This summer, we are happy to present a special Meet Your Market Vendor series, which will help you get to know the people who grow, produce, and make the items you purchase from them on market days. Most weeks, we will feature one vendor from the Kingston Public Market, and one from the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market. To kick things off, we thought we’d start with the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market’s newest vendor, Fat Chance Farmstead. Josh Suppan and his partner, Jen Valberg, started the fruit and vegetable farm this year after months of searching for land on which they could turn their farm dream into a reality. Finally, they were able to rent a fouracre plot near Elginburg, which is owned by Dave and Joyce Morley. “[The name of our farm] is a play on how hard it was to find land,” Suppan says. “Because we looked for so long, it seemed like a fat chance that we were ever going to find the land that we needed, so it

was kind of a little inside joke.” While Fat Chance Farmstead is not yet certified organic, Suppan explains that they are following all the practices required of an organic farm. “If you have a small customer base and they trust you, maybe it’s not worth [becoming certified],” he notes. Suppan grew up in the Niagara region, where he spent many years working at a variety of different farms. Over time, he developed a passion for growing fruit, which he intends to focus on at Fat Chance Farmstead. This year, he and Jen have planted, among other things, 1,200 strawberry and 500 raspberry plants. “The majority of my past experience actually is in fruit,” Suppan explains. “I’ve worked on a lot of organic vegetable farms and I’ve worked on a lot of orchards, and [the fruit] aspect of agriculture is more exciting to me. I like perennials a lot and most fruit is perennial.” Starting in mid-July, Suppan and Valberg will be selling fruit at the market, along with mushrooms and garlic later on in the fall. Suppan notes that he worked a stall at the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market last summer for another farm, and very much enjoyed the experience. “Not only is it a business opportunity, it’s also an opportunity to build community, and I think that’s what I’m really excited about,” he says. “All the vendors there are re-

ally nice and it’s a really positive atmosphere. There’s just a lot of cool people and a lot of neat stuff going on.” In addition to vending at the market, Fat Chance Farmstead also offers a food box program, through which members receive a box of fresh fruit and vegetables from the farm each week. “What’s different about our food box compared to other CSAs is there’s not a lot of risk involved for our customers,” Suppan says. “If our kale fails, for example, we’ll still go out and buy kale from another farm that grows it to the same level that we do.” In addition, members are able to pick and choose the food they take home to a certain extent. “When available, it’ll be pick your own,” Suppan says. “So if people want two bunches of carrots but no kohlrabi, they can take [double of the carrots] instead of the kohlrabi.” He remarks that it feels great to finally have his own farm and to be able to do something he is passionate about for a living. “You’re outside all day, that’s a great part,” Suppan says. “And you really feel like you’re doing something. I feel [farming] is a really honourable profession. There are not a lot of those out there anymore, it seems. It just feels like you’re really doing something good.”

Neighbourhood condo opponents get crash course on planning process Reporter

EMC News – Residents of the Cataraqui North neighbourhood got an eye-opening, and possibly, discouraging look at the intricacies of the city’s planning process when they opposed a recent condominium development. Despite their letters of opposition, support from the district councillor and a promise to ‘bump up’ the discussion to the planning committee, the outcome was pretty much a foregone conclusion – the condo at 740 Augusta Drive will proceed. There was an assumption among some residents who thought the committee could stop the threestorey, 41-unit building based on their strong objections. However, Coun. Bryan Paterson, who chairs the committee, says the nature of the site plan control application left the committee powerless to help residents. “Many of their concerns we were not in a position to address,” he remarked of the process. Coun. Paterson added: “When we bumped up the site plan we were giving them false hope that we could somehow overturn the zoning of that property, which we could not.” The planning process allows individual councillors to request a ‘bump up’ of the site plan approval of certain projects where strong objections are raised – essentially allowing politicians a chance to scrutinize the technical and aesthetic points of a development, rather than let delegated staff finalize approvals, as it what typically happens with site plan applications. But because the 0.5 hectare land zoning of Augusta Glen Condominium was never in question there was little that councillors or the community could do to overturn the project. Instead, the committee was relegated to debating the finer points of the condo, such as on-site parking, fencing, garbage storage, landscaping, bicycle racks and other amenities that are part of a

residential site plan application. City planners endorsed the one and two-bedroom condo project, with 52 on-site parking spaces, as a permitted land use for the site. The 1997 Cataraqui North zoning bylaw allows an apartment building as a permitted use on the subject property. The condo’s site plan application was finalized by a 10-3 vote of council June 18 Mayor Mark Gerretsen cautioned council not to debate the “cars versus pedestrians” issue, even though that is what concerned residents the most, but to focus solely on the technical on-site amenities. With the all-clear for the condo construction to proceed, Coun. Downes still insists it is a victory for the neighbourhood because this project highlighted concerns over pedestrian safety on Crossfield Avenue and Augusta Drive. “Some good has come of it,” he observed. While the zoning merits of the project – which allowed for a condo in the first place – could not be challenged, Downes says city planners heard first-hand concerns from residents about the increasing impact on their safety, and that should bode well for future developments. “In that neighbourhood cars have taken over,” he asserted. “We have to continue to work on that

Director puts own spin on latest zombie apocalypse film By Mark Haskins Columnist

EMC Entertainment - I’ve discovered that if you’ve seen one zombie apocalypse movie then you’ve pretty much seen them all. Zombies quickly overwhelm mankind threatening humanity with extinction, and the few people left run for their lives desperately trying to survive. World War Z isn’t much different, but they do try to put their own stamp on it. Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family are stuck in traffic in downtown Philadelphia when the world comes apart at the seams. A plague that’s been ravaging the world hits the U.S. hard. Gerry, with some help from his former boss UN Secretary Thierry (Fana Mokoena) barely gets his family out of the country amidst the chaos. It started as a pathogen. It kills its host, and then re-animates it turning the infected into a mindless rage monster whose only purpose is to infect others. It’s turning humanity into zombies and there isn’t a lot of humanity left. Thierry needs Gerry to go back to work,

and find the source of this plague. Gerry is the best investigator the UN has. If anyone can track the source he can, and if they can find the source they might be able to stop the plague. The zombie apocalypse may have been done before, but World War Z tries to put a new spin on it. As the entire world is overrun by zombies, instead of broadening the scope of the film Forester narrows it. The story focuses on Gerry as he follows the

moves to a very logical conclusion. The ending makes perfect sense for the story, but the most logical ending isn’t always the most exciting or satisfying ending. In truth I found it anti-climactic. Brad Pitt is very good at taking the fear, the terror and the desperation, and making them real for the audience. This film rides on Pitt’s shoulders. It’s his character that drives the film and it’s his performance that makes his character so compelling. Mireille Enos plays Karen Lane, Gerry’s wife. Her scenes are few but riveting. It’s a very believable performance. As Gerry travels across the globe seeking answers he teams up with an Israeli soldier named Segen. It’s an intense role and Daniella Kertesz makes the most of the opportunity. World War Z may not be the war movie you’re expecting, and the ending may be a bit of a letdown, but the film’s unique perspective and focus does give the zombie apocalypse a twist. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

MOVIE: World War Z STARRING: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, and Fana Mokoena DIRECTOR: Marc Forester RATING: 14A clues and tries to solve the mystery of how the plague happened and how to stop it. It makes World War Z feel more like a mystery than a horror movie. I like the focus of the film, and the detective-style story. It adds a whole other level of tension to the zombie film. I like the effects, and I really like the explanation of the zombies. The thing is the film

Music in the park is back and bigger than ever Correspondent

EMC Events - Summer has officially arrived and that means it is time for another Kingston tradition to return: Music in the Park. On June 25, local musicians kicked off the yearly noon hour music series, which runs from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Confederation Park three days a week. “This is the 30th year for the series and it has definitely evolved quite a bit over the years,” said Laura Meggs who works as the projects manager for the series. Meggs has been running the Music in the Park series for the past seven years in her role with the Downtown Kingston! BIA. “It is one of the many programs that we run throughout the summer.” Meggs explained that the event was first initiated by a couple of business owners downtown who worked with a local sound and music company. “When Doug Ritchie came in 31 years ago, he really liked the idea and kept it going. Now it has grown into something much bigger.” Meggs explained that the focus of the series is on local bands, and that many groups return year after year. “A lot of the bands are repeats that have worked with us in the past, and then we end up getting a lot of referrals as well. They contact me with their information and a link to some sound clips for their music so I can check them out,” explained Meggs, “The goal is to keep it local and give those musicians a chance to showcase their talent to the community. It also gives them an opportunity to reach a group of people that they may not typically be able to reach at a bar or private show.” This year the series will run

Check out Music in the Park Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. at Confederation Park. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, giving many a chance to hear some live music on their lunch breaks. “It’s really fun to go down there and see so many people lounging on their lunch breaks just enjoying the music. It’s kind of neat to see because it is one of our stumble upon events. We don’t really advertise it so much, so it’s great to see people out enjoying it and making a point to come down,” said Meggs. Music enthusiasts can also come out and enjoy local music in Confederation Park and the St. Andrew’s Church lawn on Thursday evenings, as well as music in the courtyard at Market Square on Fridays. These evening events all start at 7 p.m. and allow people to come out and enjoy other genres of music. “With the noon hour series it is kind of all over the place in terms of genres, so we have brass bands and Celtic music and singer-songwriters and many more, but we also have country music in the park on Thursday nights, so that is strictly country bands and singers. On Thursday nights at St. Andrew’s, we feature more classical music, like choirs and a couple wind instrument bands, and then on Fridays we do big band music nights with groups ranging from 10 to 50 people and they do big band and swing music in the courtyard, so there really is something for everyone,” said Meggs. For more information on Music in the Park and to view the band schedule visit www.downtownkingston.ca. The series runs until the end of August.

EMC News - Kingston’s Council on Aging, an organization that seeks to prevent elder abuse, is looking for compassionate individuals to join their fledgling volunteer task force. Since a very successful golf tournament fundraiser earlier this month, the council’s increased profile in the city has led to a huge amount of new calls on their elder abuse hotline. “It’s absolutely overwhelming,” says executive director Janine Earl. “And I only see it growing exponentially. We have more cases than we can handle.” The Council on Aging has an exceptionally small staff. In many cases, Earl responds to many calls herself. Given that the majority of cases involve financial abuse, Earl does such tasks as taking clients to the bank to change their account information. It’s day-to-day help such as this that Earl believes a volunteer group could provide. “It’s really hands-on,” she explains. “Each case possesses different complexities.” Volunteers may be asked to advocate for housing, do financial paperwork, mediation between family members, insurance claims, and other similar tasks. “We’re really dealing with a complex medical and legal area,” she goes on. For this reason, Earl suggests that retired professionals – former teachers, nurses, or lawyers, for instance – may be well suited to volunteer. “But the most important aspect of this is compassion,” she clarifies. “We don’t expect people to come in with all the skills.” To that end, the Council on Aging isn’t putting any age or education restrictions in place. Any compassionate individual is encouraged to get in touch. As for the time commitments the volunteers can expect, Earl says that there will be a lot of flexibility. “The least we would ask of a person is to take on a case at a time,” she says. Depending on the complexity of the case, this could be as few a several hours a week. “Whatever they can handle,” Earl says. Of course, the council is looking for as much help as it can get. With the aging baby boomer generation, Earl believes that the next few years will see a “tsunami of seniors,” and elder abuse cases will only become more prevalent. “It’s happening way more than we still realize,” Earl says, adding that because of a lack of resources and advocacy, “victims are further victimized by the system.” Earl hopes that with 10 committed volunteers in place, the Council on Aging could continue to respond to calls as quickly as it has in the past. “What we really need more than anything is volunteers,” Earl stresses. Individuals more interested in helping with fundraising or non-case-related work are still welcome to speak with the council. Earl emphasizes that the more help that the council has – whatever the area may be – the more that can be done to end elder abuse in our area. “We are here and we will intervene. We are fierce,” Earl says. To volunteer with the Council on Aging, contact executive director Janine Earl at 613-542-1336.

Protect nature when hiking Nature beckons adventurers across the globe. Recreational and ardent hikers venture into the landscape to get a glimpse of the wonders of the great outdoors. Veteran hikers are often careful to watch out for and protect natural resources, while novice hikers may not be aware of that responsibility. Hiking responsibly includes being mindful of natural habitats and what you bring in or take away from parks, forests and other natural areas. Carry in/carry out Part of protecting nature involves carrying out what you carry in. What you bring with you in your backpack should not be left behind. Some parks and wildlife centers do not have trash receptacles, so it is up to you as the hiker to carry trash out of your surroundings and properly dispose of it. Children who may not understand litter and its impact on habitats can be taught lessons about picking up trash and taking items with them out of the park when hiking. Even though foods like fruit rinds or seeds can be biodegradable, it is still important to take your food with you when you leave the park. If you don’t, you may inadvertently introduce a foreign species of plant to a habitat that can overtake indigenous plants. Also, animals should not be allowed to eat human food; otherwise they may become used to it and not forage for their own food. Animals also may become brazen, approaching people for an easy meal. Stay on trails It can be tempting to be a trailblazer and head out into the middle of the wilderness. This can be dangerous and potentially harmful to wildlife. Going off the trails means you will have to rely on your ability to navigate to find your way in and out of your hiking location. Those who are unsure of navigation and using a compass may find themselves lost. Park rangers or emergency personnel may have trouble locating individuals who have ventured off the trails. When hikers veer off of the established trails they are treading on untouched parts of the landscape, where they can damage delicate foliage or stomp on nesting sites of some animals.

If you are off of the trail, you may be more likely to come across animals, which could frighten them and cause unpredictable behavior. Keep dogs on leashes so they will not venture off and get lost or injured. Dogs may dig holes or chase animals, disrupting the surroundings. Don’t remove or introduce wildlife Picking flowers may seem harmless, but hikers should be careful to leave their surroundings untouched as much as possible. Your goal when exploring the wilderness is to observe and not disturb. That means leaving plants and animals alone. In addition, do not introduce foreign animals to a landscape. Some people release lizards or fish that were once pets into ponds and rivers rather than trying to find homes for these creatures. There are many areas of the country that have become overrun by animals that are not native to these habitats. For example, invasive species have been taking over areas of the Florida Everglades for years. According to the National Parks Service, the Burmese Python is rapidly becoming a poster child for nonnative species in the Everglades, along with the Tokay Gecko and the Bufo Toad. Be cautious with campfires If you will be hiking and camping, be sure to take precautions. Always check to see the wildfire risk rating, which is often posted at the park entrance, before establishing your campsite. If the risk is high, you may want to forgo a campfire or be especially cautious when containing the fire. All it takes is one errant spark to ignite dry timber and brush. Contain a campfire with a ring of rocks. Feed the fire with only enough wood to keep it at a moderate size and do not use any accelerants to make a bigger blaze. When you are done with your campfire, be sure to extinguish it completely and double-check that all ash and cinder are completely cool before moving on from the campsite. Be courteous of others Many parks and hiking trails are quiet sanctuaries for people and

Gourmet delights in the great outdoors EMC Lifestyle – The time has arrived to soak up the sunshine and enjoy long weekends and family escapes. Our family enjoys summer camping vacations. We tent it, forgoing the luxury of a trailer, which can make things a little bit more difficult given the lack of conveniences, but it’s a fun and inexpensive holiday. We revel the chance to bond over late night campfires, sharing stories, roasting marshmallows and/or gazing at the stars. It’s the “sleeping outdoors” experience when one can have some of the best and deepest sleeps, that is if you ensure your bed is not on a rocky surface. Cooking in the outdoors is one of life’s greatest pleasures. I would even argue that meals cooked in the outdoors taste better. A little planning and organization is all it takes to enjoy gourmet delights in the great outdoors. Check the fire regulations to see if you are able to cook over an open fire (my most favourite), using a barbecue or whether you’ll have to make do with a camp stove. This will determine if you need firewood, charcoal, matches, or propane bottles, barbecue utensils and water (drinking and for washing up). Always make sure you bring enough of each with you. My friend Lesli and I have taken the kids camping without our fire chiefs (a.k.a hubbies) and the consensus is life is easier with fire-starters on those wet damp days. We spend as much time stocking the cooking ingredients for the camp kitchen as we do general supplies. Careful meal

planning also ensures we don’t run out of essentials. Plan to bring a variety of fresh herbs, garlic, gingerroot, soya sauce, salt, pepper, oil and lemons as basic must haves. You can prepare and season anything with these. For instance, you can whip up a quick meat marinade, salad dressing, or just squeeze a lemon to preserve freshly cut fruit. Ideally you want to prepare as much in advance and eat the hard-to-keep items first. Try and coordinate snacks and main meals that can turn into another meal the next day. You can overdo the groceries so as to ensure you have a well thought out menu plan. A simply delicious recipe I like to use is for Crab Cakes. If you catch your own fish use it in place of the crab if you’d like, but the tin crab is easy to keep while outdoors. This recipe can serve up as a snack, lunch or dinner by serving on a baguette or paired with a side salad. Crab Cakes with Fresh Citrus-Tomato Mayonnaise

Ingredients: 1 tbsp. of unsalted butter 1 onion, finely diced 2 ribs of celery, finely diced 6 oz. (175 g) fresh crabmeat or 1 small can, drained – which I generally take camping given the ease. 1 ¾ cups (200g) Panko breadcrumbs (Panko is my preference but you can use any breadcrumbs. You could event process an old loaf of bread you brought with you)

½ cup (125 ml) crème fraiche A few fresh chives, minced A few fresh basil leaves, minced 1 large egg Salt and freshly ground pepper Light oil for frying For the Mayonnaise:

1 large egg yolk Juice of 1 lemon 1 tbsp. strong prepared mustard (I often use Dijon mustard) 2 cups of sunflower or corn oil (I use Grape Seed oil in place of these traditional cooking oils) 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced ½ tsp. paprika, preferably smoked Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown on both sides. Let them drain on a paper towel. Make the mayonnaise:

Whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice and mustard until foamy. Pour in the oil in a thin trickle until the mayonnaise becomes a thick mayonnaise. Stir in the tomatoes, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the crab cakes. There are some great cookbooks as a

resource when you are planning your summer camping trips. Check out “Homemade Summer” by Yvette Van Boven to find this recipe plus loads of other yummy treats and “Family Camping Cookbook” by Tiff and Jim Easton useful for recipes, tips on supply lists etc. Wishing you all a safe and happy summer break! If you have any restaurant suggestions or recipe ideas to share email me at ladydinesalot@gmail.com, follow my blog Ladydinesalot.com or on Facebook.

Directions:

Make the crab cakes: In a skillet over medium heat barbecue or on grill, melt the butter and sauté the onion and celery for about 4 minutes, until translucent. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Flake the crabmeat into a bowl and add the cooled onion and celery, half of the breadcrumbs, the crème fraiche, chives, basil and egg, season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Shape the mixture into about 8 little balls. Slightly flatten them and coat the patties all over with the remaining breadcrumbs. In the same (non-stick pan), heat some oil over medium heat. Fry the patties for

Walking the Shoreline Shuffle By Hollie Pratt-Campbell hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle - Ever tried to walk Kingston’s eight-kilometre waterfront pathway? To be honest, I wasn’t aware that a “pathway” existed until I wrote a news story about the local Water Access Group’s Shoreline Shuffle several weeks ago. Feeling the Shuffle would be a perfect addition to my summer water activity series, I decided to join hundreds of Kingstonians on the June 23 trek from Douglas Fluhrer Park to Lake Ontario Park. While many participants ran, biked, paddled or sailed the length of the pathway, most, including me, walked, meaning that the whole thing took about two hours. Water Access Group member (and my former KCVI schoolmate) Irina Skvortsova explained that the organization is made up of Kingstonians who care about our waterfront, the environment and promoting a healthy, active community. The intent of Shoreline Shuffle was to raise awareness of our city’s beautiful waterfront, and advocate for improved access to it. “Basically the whole point is to get people thinking more critically and more actively about how we can create a better waterfront, and ultimately we do want the City to actually take it up as an issue,” Irina said. Along the way, Shoreline Shuffle participants passed 15 different art installations created by local artists. The pieces were curated by Su Sheedy, and spelled out words or

phrases that were intended to draw reference to place, community desire and the need for change along the waterfront. The first installation we saw – and one of the most striking, in my opinion, was embedded in the swampy shore off Douglas Fluhrer Park. It read “All You Ever Wanted.” The hazy, grey morning allowed the piece to blend in beautifully with its surroundings and take on an almost ethereal quality. Artist Christine Dewanker called the work an optimistic gesture of totality. “It is a phrase that, when placed in a physical environment, acknowledges potential meanings and addresses our desires for space, while also embodying an impossible sentiment that can never be fully realized,” she said in the pamphlet that provided information about the art to Shoreline Shuffle participants. Dewanker said that she chose the site because Douglas Fluhrer Park has long history of industrial development, and is currently undergoing development planning. “The park means many things to many people, and differing ideas between residents and city officials have arisen in the process of considering the direction for the development of the park.” All of the art installations were similarly relevant to their immediate surroundings, and added beauty and meaning to the Shoreline Shuffle. As we progressed, however, I be-

gan to understand why I never realized Kingston has this “waterfront pathway” that is apparently promoted to tourists: it doesn’t, really. Indeed, the absence of a pathway proper is basically what inspired the Shuffle in the first place. Over the course of the event, we walked by some beautiful sites: Macdonald and Breakwater Parks and Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, to name a few. Other areas, however, were fenced off, rundown or just pain inaccessible. Our little jaunt through Alwaington Place was lovely, for example, but wouldn’t it be even lovelier to be able to actually see the waterfront for the entirety of our city’s waterfront pathway? “I hope that [Shoreline Shuffle participants] make some mental notes of how beautiful our waterfront is, but also how it could be better and more accessible,” Irina said. “There were some areas where we had to cross the street and it was really high traffic. If you’re in a wheel chair or have a stroller, there are some patches you just cannot get through.” The Shuffle ended up taking me exactly two hours to walk, and I landed at Lake Ontario Park at 1 p.m. on the nose, just in time for the grand opening of the revitalized park. Irina noted that it was important to end the Shuffle on this positive note, as the new splash pad, play structures, trails, pavilion and more that were recently installed at Lake Ontario Park represent the kind of positive action the Water

Christine Dewanker’s art installation at Douglas Fluhrer Park, All You Ever Wanted, was the first of 15 showcased at the Shoreline Shuffle.

Access Group would like to see all along the pathway. “Then we could have more people walking, more people actually being physically active,” Irina said. “We could have little fruit stands and carts pop up along the way. It can [promote] much more of an active, healthy lifestyle.” Upon arriving at Lake Ontario

My own nostalgia for the old, ghetto amusement park that was there when I was a kid gradually gave way to an optimistic vision the future holds for Lake Ontario Park, and, with any luck, the entire waterfront.

Mary has her first foray into milking the cows Mary Cook Columnist editorial@theheritageemc.ca

EMC Lifestyle - “I’m telling you, she’s too young,” Mother said. Father said he milked a cow the day he learned to walk! Mother said “that’s nonsense, and you know it.” Rarely did I have so much attention sent my way, and I was loving every minute of it. With four siblings, rarely was I singled out, but that day, I was getting my share. The subject was if I was old enough to milk. Once a calf got to the cow stage, I lost interest in her, and I had little desire to sit with my head on her belly and try to get milk into a pail. But Father said it was time I did my share like everyone else in the family. Needless to say I was never consulted as to how I felt about the issue. And so, on a Saturday it was, Father put a three-legged stool at the rear end of the quietest cow in

the cow byre, put a pail under her, and without a word of instruction, told me to go ahead and milk! The old cow turned her head in my direction, and then back to chewing her cud. After watching my three brothers and sister do the milking often enough, I figured there wasn’t much to it. Well, I pulled, and I tugged, and I spit on my hands, and kept saying “sooo Bossie.” Nothing worked. The brothers were real pros at the job. The barn cats lined up on the other side of the gutter, and every so often, a squirt of milk would be headed in their direction, and without fail, the milk went right into their opened mouths. And here was I who couldn’t even get a drop into the milk pail! My arms ached right up to my shoulders, and a couple times I almost fell off the three-legged stool. It was beyond me why the milk stool only had three legs in the first place! To add to my misery, it was fly season too. The poor old cow kept swishing her tail trying to rid herself of the hateful pests, and with

each swish, I took the full brunt square in the face! Mother was right. I was too young for this job! But to convince Father was another matter. First of all, I didn’t like the cow byre. It was full of cobwebs, cows smelled differently from the horses. And I wouldn’t put it pass any one of them to give me a good kick, especially when I was engaged in something as personal as tugging at her private parts. Emerson, Everett and Earl were into the snickering, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was into the tears. It was my beloved sister Audrey who finally came to my rescue. She had finished milking her cows, the milk had been emptied into the cans, and she came over to where I was sitting hunched over, still tugging away with absolutely not a drop to show for my efforts! “Let me try,” she said, and I gladly surrendered the stool. The milk spewed out on the first try with Audrey! I blamed it on the cow! I thought I was doing exactly what my sister was doing, but it certainly wasn’t working

for me, and I was convinced the cow didn’t like me any more than I liked her. Audrey tried her best to show me how to milk. Nothing worked. Finally, she went up to Father who was at the far end of the cow byre. “Mary’s hands are too small,” she said. “And the cow’s too big,” I offered. Father ran his hand over my head. Even though it wasn’t near my nose, I could smell cow off him, and milk, neither of which were my favourite odours. ‘Well, we’ll try again some other time,” he said. I was out of the barn before you could say ‘milk pail’. I ran to the house and told Mother I wanted to change my clothes. She knew exactly why. I bundled up what I had on in the barn, and brought the whole pile down to the summer kitchen to wait the Monday wash. I asked Mother for a pan of hot water and wash cloth and towel, which I hauled upstairs to the privacy of the bedroom. I washed every square inch of my body I could reach, but I thought I could still smell the cow byre off

my skin. I opened my sister Audrey’s drawer of the little wash stand we shared, and took out her precious can of Lily of the Valley talcum powder, and slathered it on with abandon. Then I put on clean clothes from the inside out! When we sat down for supper, my try at milking was never mentioned. I figured the brothers had been warned not to bring up the subject. And I knew, without a doubt, my milking days were over... but only for the time being. Everyone had to pull her share back then. And I knew the time would come when I would be led back into the cow byre and made to stick at it until I could fill a milk pail like the brothers or my sister Audrey. Not a word was spoken all during supper about how I had failed at a job that everyone worth his or her salt would be expected to do growing up on a farm long before modern milking machines did the job for you. Even my sister Audrey, who guarded her belongings like a mother hen guarding her chicks, never said a word about how I smelled of Lily of the Valley.

Virtually everyone has memories of Her Majesty By Jeff Maguire Columnist

EMC Lifestyle – It seems every year is an anniversary of some significance for Queen Elizabeth II. Hardly surprising given the fact she has been on the throne for 61 years and five months. She is Head of State of the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth realms including Canada. No matter where you live I believe it is safe to say Queen Elizabeth is the most familiar face on the planet. Her lengthy reign is now closing in on the all-time record for a British monarch set by her great, great grandmother Queen Victoria who died in 1901 at age 81. Victoria reigned for 63 years and seven months. That is the longest tenure for any female monarch in history. Queen Elizabeth seems ageless. Her husband and consort Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, just turned 92. He continues to suffer through significant health problems. Although her schedule has been somewhat reduced in recent times the Queen continues to maintain a busy public life that belies her 87 years. Three weeks ago, while the Duke of Edinburgh was undergoing exploratory surgery in a London clinic, his wife visited the new headquarters of the venerable British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in Central London. I am an unashamed Monarchist. Not surprising perhaps considering that I was born the same year a young Princess Elizabeth succeeded her father King George VI who succumbed to lung cancer at the young age of 56. Like most spouses, my wife Kathleen and I don’t see eye-to-eye on every

subject. She is more of a Republican than I am. In other words she is less supportive of the institution of the monarchy. Although I believe her opinion has changed somewhat based on our many visits to the UK and the obvious importance this tradition holds for the island nation. The economic impact of the monarchy is hugely significant. Last year major celebrations were held to mark Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne 60 years earlier. The exact date was Feb. 6, 1952 the day of her father’s untimely passing. The observances included a 1,000boat pageant on the River Thames in Central London. The next day there was a massively attended Diamond Jubilee concert outside Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s London residence. Hundreds of thousands packed ‘The Mall’, the main boulevard leading to the palace, wearing royal masks, waving Union flags and cheering wildly. A star-studded cast of musicians including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John (both knighted by the Queen at different times) and American singer Stevie Wonder performed and a spectacular fireworks display wrapped up the spectacular. If you like long-running anniversaries, Queen Elizabeth’s is the prototype! Coronation The year 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of her coronation. The event in 1953 was the biggest public spectacle in the British Isles since the end of the Second World War just eight years earlier. The people of Great Britain were still living on rations at the time and went

to considerable trouble to hoard enough precious foodstuffs to provide for coronation cakes and celebratory meals. The actual ceremony was held on June 2, 1953 at Westminster Abbey. In front of more than 8,000 guests, including prime ministers and heads of state from around the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II took the coronation oath and was formally crowned. Shouts of “God Save the Queen” echoed through the streets of historic London amid the firing of salutes in honour of the big occasion. Early this month, on June 3 to be exact, a service was held at the historic abbey to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the coronation. The service included much of the music used during the service six decades earlier. I followed news coverage of the anniversary service. The 2,000 who attended the Westminster Abbey event included former choirboys and maids of honour from the original ceremony. A total of 25 members of the royal family were on hand. Obviously it is a very different royal family today. One image that particularly struck me was a newspaper photograph of the Queen beaming at her daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the wife of her eldest child and heir apparent Prince Charles. Few people will be unaware of Camilla’s role as Charles’ second wife and the scandal that accompanied his divorce from the late, much-loved Princess Diana, the mother of his two sons. To say the least Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh and most British citizens were “not amused” by the events which led up to Charles eventual

marriage to Camilla. That despite the fact the ceremony was a quiet affair, held long after Princess Diana’s death in the tragic Paris automobile crash in August 1997. My, how times have changed! Despite the trials and tribulations of the royal family I think it can be fairly said that the Queen Elizabeth remains one of the most popular figures in British history. A woman who is respected, even revered, in countries around the world. Many of us, especially people like me who grew up and became much older during her long and successful reign, have their own memories of the Queen. I am an Ottawa native and therefore there were many chances to see her in person. Ottawa, the nation’s capital, has hosted so many visits by Her Majesty over the course of 60 years. Canada has been a favourite destination for the Queen. In fact she has visited Canada 24 times, the most official visits she has made to any nation in the world as queen. Her first full visit was in October 1957 and her most recent was in late June and early July 2010. For the record, if you count brief visits including refueling stops, she has been to Canada an astounding 31 times. That total includes a tour of seven provinces in 1951 on behalf of her ailing father while she was still Princess Elizabeth. I have seen her in person twice in Ottawa. I vividly remember standing in front of Rideau Hall in October 1964 with my parents and two of my three siblings (my youngest sister wasn’t born yet) and seeing the smiling Queen as her limousine drove slowly past. We were standing near the main gate of the

Governor General’s official residence. Her 1964 tour was held despite threats made against her by the Quebecbased separatist organization which went by the acronym FLQ. Undeterred, the Queen came to Canada anyone albeit amid tight security. In the 1970s (October 1977 I believe) Kathy and I saw the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh while we were attending an Ottawa Rough Riders (Canadian Football League) game at Lansdowne Park. We had a very good look at her, through binoculars, as she dutifully sat through the first half of the Rough Riders’ game at Lansdowne Park during yet another visit to Ottawa. Something tells me she isn’t a big CFL fan? My wife will readily confirm that our two tours of Buckingham Palace (including one last August) are among our favourite visits to historic sites anywhere during our many travels. No matter what you think of the Queen and the monarchy it is impossible to ignore the fact that she is an iconic figure whose reign covered nearly half the 20th Century and has extended well into the 21st, the so-called “New Millennium.” Given her apparent good health, there is a strong likelihood she will eclipse Queen Victoria’s reign. I’m sure many of you have personal memories of Queen Elizabeth II? I would be pleased if you would share them with me by email. Your memories might even make another column!

Enjoy a midsummer theatrical dream EMC Lifestyle - There are so many theatrical groups in this region, I usually restrict myself to writing about professional theatre. In the Kingston area, that leaves me with fodder from Theatre Kingston and the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque. This week, I must make an exception. One of my favourite plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is coming to a Kingston community theatre’s stage. Last time I saw it was about a year ago. I travelled to New York City just to see Bebe Neuwirth, Christina Ricci and Taylor Mac in lead roles in an OffBroadway production. I wasn’t disappointed. Here in Kingston, it’s being produced by Bottletree Productions with a local cast. Hannah Smith is a brave woman. She’s acted and directed in univer-

sity and high school, but for her public directorial debut in community theatre, she’s taking on Shakespeare. That task can strike fear into the heart of many hardened actors. Not for 19-year-old Smith. The Queen’s University engineering student is directing A Midsummer Night’s Dream as well as playing the role of Titania. And it looks like she’s having fun doing it. “Sometimes people hear Shakespeare and they shy away,” said Smith. “There’s nothing to fear about this play. This is a very visual show with a lot of magic and

romance. It’s a hilarious piece with comedy on all sorts of levels.” Part of the complication of staging this comic romp is that it’s comprised of more than one storyline. Smith explained that there are three plots. “There’s the human world where four main lover characters fall in love with each other,” she said. “There’s lots of confusion

in them after the fairies become involved. There’s a secondary fairy world with the fairy king and queen and a minion named Puck who causes problems everywhere. Then

there’s a third set of action with a group of travelling actors whose story line intermingles with the Continued on page 30

other two.” In the human world, Lysander loves Hermia and Hermia loves Lysander. Helena loves Demetrius, but Demetrius, who used to love Helena, now loves Hermia. And this is before the fairies become involved. Enter Puck, who is supposed to deliver magic love drops to Oberon. The love drops, when sprinkled on the eyelids of a person, make them fall in love with the first creature they see upon wakening. Oberon requests that Puck place drops on the eyes of Demetrius so he will again fall in love with Hermia. But Puck isn’t particularly accurate and puts the drops on the wrong set of eyelids. If it wasn’t already, now the action gets crazy in a way that makes Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First” routine look tame. Think Marx Brothers in ancient Greece. This isn’t Puck’s only bit of comic plunder along the way. Hannah Smith is incorporating some special touches that you won’t want to miss. A baby Steinway piano’s been brought onto the set. “Clare Gordon will play the original Mendelssohn score,” said Smith. “You’ll hear the famous Wedding March written for this show.” A Midsummer Night’s Dream and its characters can be played in a diverse manner. For example, I’ve seen Puck as a Pan-like fairy of the woods and

I’ve seen him played as a flamboyant cross-dresser in bright pink, with huge Mickey-Mouse-like ears and riding a pink tricycle. In Hannah Smith’s version, Puck will be played as a classic faun. “He’s very mischievous, impish and spritely,” said Smith. The play can also be staged in differing settings. I’ve seen it in an amphitheatre in High Park and in a three-sided space in New York. This will be the first time I’ve seen it produced in a church sanctuary. The time is also adaptable. “It was originally set in ancient Greece, but we’re using a Victorian setting for the lovers and Athenians,” said Smith. “It has a Jane Austen look. For the fairies, they’ll be timeless and ethereal.” I asked Smith why she chose Shakespeare for her community directorial debut. “I love the classics,” she said. “Tennessee Williams, Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde. This is classic theatre. It’s a challenge for sure, but I love this show. It’s one of my favourites.” With a large cast, the costumes alone for this play were a major task. “Coordinating the costumes was difficult,” said Smith. “For a cast of 27, including a chorus of sprites and fairies, getting all the costumes together was a challenge.” Thanks to wardrobe loans from Thou-

sand Islands Playhouse and a mother who can sew, the costumes themselves have a magical appeal. Smith’s mother is Anne Marie Mortensen, one of Bottletree’s producers. She has a knack for costume design. “She does amazing things with costumes,” said Smith. “And it’s great to have someone to share ideas.” The play will be staged in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Princess and Clergy Streets. “It’s a restricted space and we don’t have a raised stage,” said Smith. “But it’s a beautiful space. We’re using the whole space as much as we can, with entrances and exits along the aisles. Fairies watch the action from choir lofts.” By the end of the play, all returns to normal. “Jack shall have Jill; Nought shall go ill.” Thus spoke Puck, trickster extraordinaire in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. To oversimplify a complex statement, Puck is telling the world that he’s putting things back to a natural state. Good thing, after the havoc that he and a troupe of fairies unleash in this brilliant play. If you’re someone who is put off by Shakespeare after taking high school or university English courses taught by one of those teachers who seems to have specialized training in sucking the fun, life and passion out of the classics,

fear not. This play is full of treats. And tricks. Details and main cast: A Midsummer Night’s Dream was first performed in 1595.

Slimebone City Horror Festival to make its debut this fall hpratt-campbell@theemc.ca

EMC Entertainment - Kingston is already home to two popular film festivals: the Reelout Festival, which celebrates queer film, and the Kingston Canadian Film Festival, which showcases talent from across the country. Now, thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Kingston Arts Fund Project, a third film festival will be added to the lineup: The Slimebone City Horror Festival Kingston, which will take place Oct. 31 – Nov. 3 of this year at the Screaming Room (i.e., the downtown movie theatre better known as The Screening Room). Slimebone is the brainchild of the Rotting Pumpkin Collective, which is made up of Reelout director Matt Salton, KCFF manager Marc Garniss and Screening Room owner Wendy Huot. “We all have an interest in horror movies, and there are a lot of great horror film festivals happening around the world [like] Toronto After Dark, etc,” Huot says. “People who love horror movies really love horror movies. It brings out a level of obsession that lends itself to the festival atmosphere.” Salton notes that part of the goal is also to expand the film festival demographic in Kingston, and introduce a younger audience to the community atmosphere that’s created by a film festival. “With the Kingston Canadian Festival and the Reelout Festival, most of our patrons are older and understand the rewards you get from a film festival atmosphere - that drawing in of the community to experience something together,” he says. “Nowadays, young people tend to stay at home more and download or click on YouTube for these solo experiences.” He adds that the horror theme indeed has the potential to appeal to a wide variety of people, as it contains many sub-genres like horror romance, horror comedy and horror animation: “What we’re aiming to do is try to include something for everyone. Horror doesn’t have to equal gore. A good horror film can be all about the chills, suspense and tension. There’s also a lot of great comedic horror out there, so while they might be a little bit scary, the main goal is for laughter and for everyone just to have a good time. We hope that someone who might have some trepidations about horror will come check out some of them. They might find it surprisingly enjoyable.”

Salton notes that another great thing about the horror genre is its ability to address subversive issues in interesting ways. “There are a lot of political commentaries to be made in horror films that aren’t preachy,” he says. “A lot of people respond to the horrors of the world through horror, and if you’re tuned in, you get it.” Huot remarks that for her, horror films are so effective because of the manner in which they grab audiences at the gut level. “Either a horror movie works for you or it doesn’t,” she says. “They can just have this immediate impact, and part of that is because they can touch on people’s fears and more sensitive psychological areas.

Be kind to bees, pleazzz EMC Lifestyle - Bees fascinate me. Always have. I could watch them for hours. It’s a mesmerizing process. There’s something very meditative about watching a bee. Fortunately, I have no allergy to bees and despite many stings I still love them. Perhaps it ties in with my love for honey. I’m such a bee freak that while studying wildlife biology at the University of Guelph (pre-career change), I took apiculture courses. Many people receive stings they think are from bees, but are from

yellowjackets or hornets. Such stings typically hurt far more than bee stings. Most of us know the phrase, “If you ate today, thank a farmer.” But one can take it deeper into the production process and say, “If you ate today, thank a bee.” Bees are responsible for much of the food in our kitchens. In fact, they are responsible for pollinating a lot of plants. These fuzzy little farmers do some heavy-duty work. Between 75% and 95% of the Earth’s flowering plants depend on pollination for survival. Bees do a lot of that legwork, or, wingwork.

R0012191432_0704

WA N T E D !

Commercial bee hives near Kingston. Tens of thousands of bees inhabit each hive.

Agriculture (USDA) notes that there are several likely culprits. Pesticides are high on the list. In fact, the European Union has banned certain pesticides (neonicotinoids), because of their potentially lethal effects on bees. The European attitude seems to be a wise one: Don’t wait until these toxins have been shown conclusively to harm bees. Ban them until they’re found to be safe. Seems so simple and logical. Sadly, simplicity and logic rarely walk hand-in-hand with politics. Another cause of CCD may be the bees’diet. In the wild world, bees dine on a diverse range of plants. But in our monoculture corporate agriculture scene, bees may have access to thousands of acres of one kind of plant. Ugh. Imagine eating nothing but green beans, soup or ice cream your entire life. One of the newest suspects in CCD is the food offered to bees. Research at the University of Illinois has found a possible link between feeding commercial honeybees high-fructose corn syrup and CCD. Since the 1970s, beekeepers have been feeding bees highfructose corn syrup instead their natural staple, honey. It’s now suggested that this feeding practice compromises bees resistance and immunity to pesticides. In other words, two wrongs are making matters much worse. We know that high-fructose corn syrup has many potentially dangerous effects on humans, especially in terms of heart and stroke development. Imagine what it’s doing to bees who receive this as a primary food source. It’s also been propsed that cell phones contribute to CCD. Bees don’t have their own little network of cell phones, but the ones humans use, and the towers/transmitters to relay messages, do emit energy waves that might have something to do with bee mortality. In other words, there are lots of possibilities, but so much remains unknown. And we should be concerned. What can we do to help these weewinged buzzers. For a start, how about a hive in your yard (yes, I’m serious). Buy local and organic foods as much as possible. The more organic food you use, the more farmers will grow. Don’t

Transmission service: don’t get given the slip remove over 90 per cent of the fluid but the downside here is that few shops recommend replacing the filter with this method. The best way is to flush the fluid out and have the filter replaced at the same time. The cost of this varies with vehicle types but the general range for the average vehicle is between $250 and $350. Leaving this maintenance item uncompleted can lead to internal transmission failure which can bring a minimum cost of around $2,500 for removal and a basic overhaul and a few days off the road or more. A lot of drivers wait until a poor shifting or slipping symptom arises before getting the service done and in many cases like this, power flushing the transmission will make things worse not better. Make sure this fluid is checked at every oil change and keep track of when its replacement is due and get it done. On Saturday July 6 the Carkinator Car and Moto Rally rolls into the Winchester Arena parking lot at 10 a.m. Join New York Islander’s Matt Carkner for this third annual event in support of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital.

cles end up trapped in the transmission’s oil pan courtesy of a magnet placed there by the assembler. The fluid is used to transfer rotational force from the front of the transmission (where it’s bolted to the engine) to the rear where it connects to the final drive and drive axles. Repair shops, including dealerships will usually recommend one or two variations on replacing the fluid. The first involves removing the pan, draining whatever fluid comes out, replacing the filter and fluid. The downside with this is that it will only drain, on average, about 4 to 5 litres of the approximately 1012 litre total that the transmission holds. A good portion of the fluid will remain in the torque convertor or in certain internal passages. If your vehicle requires fluid replacement at the low end of the interval spectrum (say 72K km), this method isn’t as bad as it sounds because over the course of two or three such services, the majority of the fluid will get exchanged. The second most popular method involves the use of specialized flushing equipment which pushes old fluid out of the transmission by means of a circulation pump. This will effectively

EMC Lifestyle - Recently we had a discussion on the pros and cons of regular and preventative maintenance and automakers’ tendency to stretch their recommended service intervals in terms of time and mileage. A lot of dealerships as well as independent shops and mass merchandisers have started to suggest a general inspection combined with an engine oil and filter change two or three times a year to make sure their customers don’t get left on the side of the road. During these inspections, techs will inspect a number of vehicle systems and fluids and filters and one that is critical for continued reliable operation is the automatic transmission fluid. Vehicle makers differ quite a bit when it comes to time and mileage intervals for transmission fluid and filter replacement. Some are as low as 72K km and some are as high as 150K km. It’s always best to refer to your own vehicle’s owner’s manual to be certain of your vehicle’s needs. This fluid operates under pressure and at high temperatures. It also serves to collect small metal particles that wear off of various internal transmission surfaces as a matter of normal wear and tear. These parti-

Safety tips for fairs and carnivals Carnivals, county fairs and street festivals can make for fun family outings. The nice weather just beckons people outdoors, and weekend after weekend resourceful carnival goers can probably

find a fair nearby. But revelers need to make sure their experiences are as safe as they are fun. The Outdoor Amusement Business Association estimates 500 million guests visit carnivals,

fairs and festivals each year. More than half of them participate in mobile amusement rides, among other recreational pursuits. Such pursuits can not only be fun, but they also can be dangerous, espe-

cially for young children. As a result, parents taking their kids along to enjoy this wholesome fun should consider the following precautions. * Be prepared. Research the fair or carnival and know what to expect when you arrive. How big is it? What are the types of attractions and what vendors will be included? What is the parking

situation? Are strollers allowed? Knowing what to expect can make the occasion a little less stressful. If your child is old enough to understand, explain what the fair entails and how it can be crowded and noisy. * Dress for the weather. It is important to wear sturdy, comfortable footwear. Many carnivals are set up in fields or empty parking lots. There will be a lot of walking, and you want to be sure you are comfortable. Check the weather before going and dress for the temperature. Wear hats to shield your faces from the sun and lather on plenty of sunblock for protection. Avoid wearing any dangling clothes and jewelry. Tie back long hair to reduce your risk of accidents on rides. * Identify security guards or a security kiosk upon entering. Let children know where safety personnel are stationed. Establish a meet-up point that is very conspicuous should anyone get separated from the group. This central location will be checked first and should be easily identifiable for young children. Instruct the child to stay there until you find him or her. * Put your mobile phone number in your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pocket. Put your name or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom/Dadâ&#x20AC;? on a sheet of paper with a contact number and put it in your son or daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pocket. Should he or she get lost, the child can approach a security guard and give that person your phone number. * Take a current photo of the kids. Use your smartphone or camera to snap a picture of your children when you arrive at the event. This way you will have a method of helping others identify them should they get lost. * Observe the rides in advance. Watch rides before you get in line to try them out. Figure out if it is appropriate for a child and acclimate anyone who is nervous. Carnival rides often have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;you must be this tall to rideâ&#x20AC;? sign at their entrance gates. * Look for inspection stickers. Carnival rides often have to be inspected for safety. If the ride doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a current inspection sticker, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride it. * Stay hydrated. Pack plenty of bottled water for the day. Fairs make a lot of money on conces-

sion sales, and buying beverages all day can get expensive. Dehydration is common when spending hours outdoors in warm weather. It can make a person dizzy and feeling sick to their stomach. If you feel thirsty, you already are dehydrated. * Eat light. If you will be riding a lot of rides, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to eat light meals beforehand. Heavy, greasy foods in your stomach coupled with motion sickness can lead to trouble. Wait until after you have gotten your fill of the rides before indulging in funnel cake. * Stick together. It can be tempting to separate when you get to the carnival, as older children may not be interested in the same rides as their younger siblings. But separating increases the risk of someone getting lost. * Seek shelter in a storm. Thunderstorms can roll in unexpectedly. Remember, lightning will seek the easiest method to reaching the ground. Tall rides could be strike points. Get out of the weather and move indoors or to a car if possible. Carnivals and fairs are staples of the warm-weather season across the country. These enjoyable outings are even more fun when families play it safe.

Green ways to protect your Limestone students build skin home on Wolfe Island Much of the public now recognizes the dangers of overexposure to the sun. Skin cancer ranks as one of the most common forms of cancer across the globe, and individuals are increasingly conscientious about protecting their skin from damaging ultraviolet, or UV, rays. Certain natural sources might be able to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Leafy vegetables Spinach may not only provide Popeye with his strength, but it also may help reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. Researchers from Queensland, Australia found that eating leafy green vegetables plays an important role in reducing skin cancer risk as wearing protective clothing and sunscreen. The study, led by Dr. Jolieke van der Pols from The Queensland Institute of Medical Research, was conducted over 11 years and studied 1,000 people from Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Researchers discovered that participants who consumed at least three servings per week of green vegetables could cut their chances of developing skin cancer by up to 55 percent. It is believed the variety of nutrients found in the vegetables, including folic acid, vitamin A and C, as well as the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, work together to fight cancer.

studied for 12 years, and the study found that the women who took 81 milligrams of aspirin daily had a 21 percent lower risk of developing melanoma than those who did not take aspirin. While it is still too soon to make the recommendation that all women should take aspirin daily, some doctors feel the benefits outweigh the risk for those with a family history of melanoma.

Avoidance The recommendation to avoid the peak hours of the sun is still a viable method to preventing skin cancer. Peak hours are between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the summer in the northern hemisphere. The hours may be different depending on where you live and your proximity to the equator. Remain indoors as much as possible during peak hours. There are a variety of different ways to lower your risk of developing skin cancer, many of which are natural.

Tea Years ago, researchers at the University of Minnesota Hormel Institute tested a solution containing chemicals known as polyphenols. The solution, which was made from extractions from green tea, was tested on live mice that were exposed to UV light. The study found that a protein labeled JNK-2 is directly related to the development of skin cancer, and this protein could be blocked by the application of polyphenols. This application helps reduce the formation of skin tumors. While drinking tea has long been touted as a way to prevent various cancers, this study looks at the way the tea applied topically also can help.

EMC News - For students of the Limestone District School Board, there are many programs that offer highly specialized skills. Arts and culture, construction, energy, health and wellness, hospitality and tourism, forestry, manufacturing and transportation are among the many options. This semester, 18 students in the Building Construction Internship Program (BCIP) built a multilevel Georgian-style home on Wolfe Island as part of the Specialist High Skills major program that the school board offers out of QECVI. The home on Wolfe Island represents the 82nd that has been built as part of the program. Generally, three houses are built each year. For QECVI teacher Dan Fisher, the latest house is the 10th that he has overseen. He’s been with the Limestone District School Board for nearly five years, following a long career in contracting. Fisher teaches technical construction knowledge in the classroom as well as supervising the handson work. The house that the students completed is nearly 2,000 square feet with four bedrooms, two baths, a pressure-treated deck, covered front porch, and open concept basement. The homeowner, Kevin Hanson, is a former Habitat for Humanity building supervisor. BCIP students have worked on Habitat for Humanity builds in the past. As a result, Hanson had seen the students work before and he has an interest in developing skilled trades in Kingston. The ideal homeowner Fisher believes that the partnership was trimmer - ergonomically a perfect fit. It’s the first house that the program designed, powerful has completed on the island. Fisher says and lightweight. that the ferry element had both benefits and disadvantages. For some, the ferry ride was time to complete paperwork, phone calls, and planning, but for others, like those students travelling from as far away as Yarker and west of Napanee, MSRP $179.95 working around the ferry schedule made We service what we sell! for a terribly long day. “It’s a real grind,” says Fisher. “They have to be on for those seventy-five days. Many don’t realize how much hard work it is.” For students that are successful in the R0012063963

Aspirin In 2013, new information was published in Cancer, the American Cancer Society’s medical journal, that linked daily aspirin therapy to a decreased risk for melanoma -- the deadliest form of skin cancer. According to the research, data was collected on nearly 60,000 white women ages 50 to 79 years. The women were

Cover Up Applying a sunscreen is one of the easiest and more popular ways to protect the skin, but some people worry about the side effects of chemicals used in popular sunscreens. Covering up the face and skin as much as possible is one way to reduce exposure to such chemicals. Wear a densely woven hat with a brim that features at least a two- to three-inch overhang, which can protect the face, neck, ears, eyes, and lips from the sun. Darkcolored clothing also can help block the sun’s rays. Although it may seem odd to wear long sleeves and pants in hot temperatures, doing so can prevent UV exposure.

program, though, there are many career possibilities after graduation. The course feeds directly into the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program. While enrolled in the BCIP, they also receive industryrecognized certifications in WHMIS, First Aid, Health and Safety, and other accreditations. “Many of our kids come with a real focus on a career,” says Fisher. “They see the career opportunities.” The semester culminated in an open house on June 25, which was attended by students, QECVI faculty, Wolfe Islanders, community members, and the homeowner family. The open house was both a celebration and a final exam for the kids. Fisher feels it was a great way to end the year. “It went really well,” he says. “It was well attended.” Fisher expects that the program will continue to be popular next year and onwards. In fact, enrolment requires an application process that begins nearly a year before the course. Despite some wait times, most interested students are able to get involved in the Specialist High Skills Program in some way or another. “We draw students from across the board,” says Fisher. “We’re usually able to accommodate everyone.”
