EMC News – A new study on gambling in Kingston suggests a casino represents a winning hand for the local economy. The study, commissioned by the city’s economic development agency KEDCO, looked at the potential economic impact if Kingston were to host either a standalone or resort style casino. The results may play into the hands of supporters of a casino who say it would give Kingston a welcome boost in tourism, jobs and local spending. Since Kingston does not have a casino, the research is based on the experience

of gaming in other Ontario communities, from smaller operations in Gananoque and London to the big commercial operations in Niagara Falls, Rama and Windsor. Using a five year projection model, Enigma Research estimates a standalone casino would conservatively generate $151.2 million in economic activity. “This estimate includes the construction impact of $8.5 million, operational impact of $129.2 million, and $13.5 million in tourism impact,” according to Enigma’s study. The operational impact, where most of the money is generated, includes revenue sharing with the city,

wages and benefits to local casino employees and purchases from local and regional vendors. The five year estimate factors in an estimated $13 million in slot machine revenues for municipal coffers. Under the best case scenario, the study says the five-year impact of a casino represents $296.5 million assuming a high demand and performance “matching the top stand-alone casino in Ontario.” The research also studied the economic impact of building a resort casino with an upscale hotel, restaurants with other attractions, and the spending estimates are substantially higher.

Survey says? Results of city’s online casino poll released Reporter

EMC News – A slim majority of local residents say Kingston is no place for a casino. More than 3,300 residents responded to the City of Kingston’s public feedback campaign during the summer – the largest ever response to any municipal issue - through personal letters, emails and completed surveys. Results were presented to council in advance of a crucial vote on whether the city would be willing to entertain the idea of hosting a privatelyrun casino. A proposed staff motion

for council’s consideration recommends the city express its interest, in principle, for being a host municipality. However, there was talk that council’s October 2 casino vote could be further delayed until revenue sharing details between the city and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) are known. The city is expected to get 2 to 5 percent of slot revenues, but the OLG did not have precise figures available when its representatives addressed council last month. “The latest I’ve heard is that they are slowing down the voting process because

the OLG has said there isn’t a huge rush,” said Coun. Jim Neill. Meanwhile, councillors are being swamped with information reports, from public surveys to social and economic impact studies, and may need more time to digest the results, Neill suggested. Several councillors said they will push to defer the casino vote until later in the fall. The OLG has already stated that Kingston can take until the end of the year, if needed, to gather more feedback and studies before deciding the willing host question. A ‘no’ vote of council will remove Kingston as

a host community and the casino idea is essentially dead. A ‘yes’ vote will open the door for possible talks between the city, OLG and private casino operator to locate a gaming facility in Kingston. Council can also attach conditions, such as the location of where it should or should not be, as part of a motion endorsing the casino. As the political drama plays out, the public has weighed in. Newly-published survey results show 54.4 percent of residents were “strongly” or “somewhat” opposed to locating a casino within city borders, while 43.3 percent were

“strongly” or “somewhat” in favour of hosting a gambling facility. Another 2.3 percent were neutral or offered no opinion. A closer examination of the responses, based on postal codes, indicates most community opposition comes from east of Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard/south of Princess Street including the downtown. Casino support appears strongest in the west end suburbs, west of Sir John/South of Princess Street. Residents who filled out an online questionnaire listed the top three reasons why they support or oppose a casino.

The main reasons from the opposing side are; gambling addiction and social problems, no new spending because gamblers would just redirect their entertainment dollars into casinos, and it will cost the city more money than it will gain. Casino supporters like the idea because; it’s a new source of revenue to help pay for municipal services, potential employment opportunities, and making Kingston into a year-round tourism destination. The vast majority of residents who attended a public meeting in early August voiced opposition to a casino.

City council meetings go high-tech with proposed audio & video upgrades Reporter

EMC News – City Hall’s 19 th century council chamber is poised to get a 21 st century facelift. “This is a great step to make us more transparent and accountable,” remarked mayor Mark Gerretsen. Plans are underway to modernize the seat of local governance by installing the latest audio and visual

communications technology to address long-standing complaints. “Complaints include not being able to properly hear discussions in chambers, and an inability to see or present electronic information due to equipment failures/limitations,” said city clerk John Bolognone, who is helping to overseeing the technology upgrades. The high-tech equipment, with an estimated

$270,000 price tag, will make it easier to see and hear what politicians are doing; -new microphones, speakers, retractable projector screens, electronic vote counting, wall-mounted cameras with remote control and online streaming capabilities, -portable tablets for councillors and fixed monitors at their desks to access agendas, archives and other information, -and, improved chamber lighting. “It’s going to be a complete renovation of the chambers. Better experience for the audience, better experience for those watching on TV, better experience for us all around,” said Coun. Bryan Paterson. Council held a special meeting September 24 to be briefed on the technology, which is set to be installed in November. Information technology experts guided councillors through the changes, how to work the equipment and how it will improve the flow of meetings. “I’ve never used a (iPad) tablet,” remarked Coun.

Rick Downes. Staff say everyone who’s impacted by the upgrades will get training so there is a comfort level before the technology takes over. “We hope to go ‘live’ in January 2013,” said Bolognone. One of the major changes involves installing highdefinition cameras that can be programmed to automatically tilt, zoom and pan to the person whose microphone is on. It will eventually allow the city to do live streaming, video on demand and archive all council and committee meetings held in the stately chamber room. The city is currently in discussions with TVCogeco to determine how the integrated technology will impact the regular council broadcasts. “We’ll see how we want to push that out to the public whether it’s live or enhanced with TVCogeco production and graphics,” Wayne Rice, supervisor with the city’s I.T. department. Some councillors voiced concern that a few traditions may fade to black with the new technology. For example, the verbal voting

process where each name is called out for a recorded vote could be replaced with silent touch-button voting, with the results displayed on large screens. Some of the upgrades, such as electronic voting, would require changing council’s procedural bylaw before they can be used. “It’s going to take a lot of time to sort it out. Some members are going to have a steeper learning curve than others,” said Coun. Bill Glover, who noted some of the committee meetings will be impacted by the new technology as well. Coun. Glover doubts the changes will make meetings any more accountable or transparent. “It’s what you are accustomed to. When more information becomes available faster it’s easier for people to find it but it’s also easier to get swamped and give up.” Coun. Jim Neill says it will be easier for council watchers to follow along with agenda topics, but says electronic voting may remove some of the political drama. “There are some councillors who look

around to see how other people are voting to decide how they will vote. You see that delay. It’s much healthier if we take responsibility for our own votes.” City officials are planning to award the $270,000 technology upgrade contract to Solotech. The equipment will also increase the city’s budget to hire technical support, closed captioning and sign interpreting. They also say the upgrades won’t tamper with the heritage nature of the council chamber because the audio-visual technology is not intrusive and is fully reversible. Fitting the council chamber with the sound and picture display gadgets, if approved by council, will take about one month. Council is planning to hold at least two meetings off site, at Queen’s University and CFB Kingston, between mid-November and mid-December. The upgrades do not include any physical improvements to the room itself; uneven flooring, spectator seating gallery, and the globe chandelier will remain untouched.

Kingston’s P-3 hospital funding plan questioned by council By Bill Hutchins Reporter

EMC News – The construction of a new hospital in Kingston has raised questions among city councillors about the funding formula. The province is planning to construct the 270bed Providence Care hospital on King Street West through a public-private partnership model that would see a private firm design, build, finance and

maintain the facility. The province would pay back the private hospital investment over a period of time, rather than upfront financing with public dollars. Coun. Rob Hutchison has concerns the so-called P-3 model may involve “higher than necessary costs.” He points to a 2008 report by Ontario’s Auditor General that raised red flags over the millions of dollars of extra costs associated with the P-3 model to construct the William Osler Health

s ’ d i v Da

Centre in Brampton. Council has invited provincial officials to address a future meeting to explain the costs involved with the hospital project, which could top $350 million, before it goes to tender later this fall. Three companies have been shortlisted; Integrated Team Solutions, Plenary Health and Providence Alliance. Each company has assembled its own builders, architects and financial teams. A date for the final contract award has not been announced but work on the hospital is expected to begin early next year with a target completion date of 2016. The Providence Care facility, located on the

grounds of the former psychiatric hospital, will combine mental health and rehabilitation patient services under one roof. Coun. Hutchison says the city has a stake in the project since it committed $16 million to the University Hospitals rebuild campaign, which is being paid through a 10-year local tax levy. Denture Debate Anti-poverty activists are urging civic leaders to spend an additional $100,000 a year to help low income residents receive proper dental care. A motion, spearheaded by Coun. Rick Downes, says some Ontario Works

recipients can’t find a job because they have bad teeth. The provincial government is scaling back some social assistance discretionary dollars associated with teeth extraction and dentures, leaving it to municipalities to decide whether to provide topped up funding. Coun. Downes says under the province’s revised funding each recipient gets up to $450 for dentures, a fraction of what it costs for the work. “I don’t think $450 is enough for dentures.” The Cataraqui district councillor says the city needs to invest in its citizens. “People with rotten teeth have a hard time get-

ting a job.” However, some councillors are hesitant to replace provincial dollars with local tax dollars. “We have to very careful in bailing out the province,” said Coun. Bryan Paterson during a recent council debate on the funding levels. Activists have put together a postcard displaying the badly-neglected teeth of some local residents. The powerful image in the centre of the postcard shows a 29 year old woman with rotting teeth, asking “Would you hire me?” The $100,000 dental debate is expected to be referred to the city’s 2013 budget talks later this fall.

The fight of my life, surviving cancer By Natalie Ponte

EMC Lifestyle - It was a sunny, but cold day in February; I will never forget it, February 26th, 2012. I didn’t know it yet but my life as it was, was about to change. Sundays are typical for me, ﬁlled with laundry, grocery shopping and planning a nice dinner. The kind of dinner where you can take your time and the house smells delicious. By the time the evening had settled in, we were on the sofa watching a movie. In a quiet moment, for some unknown reason, my left hand reached directly to the right side of my chest. There IT was, a large lump that I had not noticed

before. Instinctively my mind knew there was something wrong. I stayed quiet for the remainder of the evening but knew that in the morning I would need to call my family doctor. “Don’t over react, don’t panic,” I told myself it could be anything. On Monday morning I called my doctors ofﬁce, but it was Tuesday before he could see me. I was going to try not to think about it until then. Tuesday was a regular workday and I kept busy until my appointment. I tried to convince myself that IT couldn’t really be IT, because we just don’t have IT in my family. My father died at a young age of a heart attack, when I was a mere child, and

my mother passed away, at the age of 79 after years of battling strokes. I couldn’t have IT because it just wasn’t in my genes. Sitting in my doctor’s office felt like a long wait. After the initial greetings, the question came. “What brings you in today?” “I found a lump,” I tell him. There was some questioning, followed by an examination. Dr. Greg felt the lump immediately and asked if it hurt. No, it didn’t hurt, so I thought that was a good thing. He then felt under my arm and revealed that he could feel lymph nodes. I didn’t know a lot about IT but I did know that wasn’t good. After my exam, Dr. Greg and I went back into his office. What I had been dreading had now become a reality: Cancer. It seemed to me that he was careful not to say more because obviously I needed further testing, but he was also quick to refer me to a surgeon the next day, to speed up the process. I had little to no experience with Cancer, so I really had no idea what I was in for, but had to find out rather quickly, as I was thrown into test after test. It was a matter of four days before I was having my first mammogram. I had always intended to have a mammogram, just not yet. I was only 44 years old. I thought I had more time.

The next day the calls kept coming. In a matter of two weeks I had a mammogram, MRI, CAT scan, ultra sound, heart test and bone scan. I hadn’t realized there was anything wrong with my body, and now I was frightened to know what else was wrong. On the day I

had my ﬁrst appointment with my surgeon the results from my mammogram said it all. There IT was: Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Breast Cancer. He explained what exactly that meant, Chemotherapy, followed by a mastectomy and radiation. I was given all the necessary medical information and was set up with a Cancer doctor and oncologist. I remember seeing the doctor speaking, but all I could hear was ‘Cancer.’ I was in shock. As soon as he left the room,

my sister hugged me and we cried. I am not even sure how I walked to the car; it was a quiet drive home. In the days following, I went through the motions and gradually started to tell my family and friends. They too were in shock. It was a strange time, because as the news travelled my phone was quiet.

EDITORIAL

Wente controversy exposes absence of attribution By Kristyn Wallace Correspondent

EMC Editorial – As a former full-time and now occasional journalist, I’ve followed with interest the plagiarism scandal involving Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente. First, an important disclosure: I’ve never been much of a fan of Wente’s work. I find her harsh, sensational and often illogical (and yet I am partial to her counterpart Christie Blatchford – go figure). And so, as most columns and arguably most journalistic stories are, what follows is somewhat biased. I was late to the scandal it seems, not hearing about it until at least a few days after artist and media blogger Carol Wainio wrote an entry on her blog Media Culpa and gave Wente a “failing grade” for writing that is strikingly similar – in some instances identical – to that of other journalists, including the Ottawa Citizen’s Dan Gardner. Wainio writes (and I quote): “It appears then, that much of this article is borrowed from other writers without proper attribution, including the central ideas of others, a significant amount of identical or near identical prose, and strangely absent or migrating quotation marks.” Not fully understanding the seriousness of the accusations, mostly because I wasn’t

familiar with Wainio, her blog, or the article in question, I came across a summary of the case written by journalist and former Toronto Star managing editor John Miller. Miller has a website called The Journalism Doctor, and his blog post titled “Wentegate” is a thorough summary of the Wente scandal to date (here, another confession of bias: in addition to being an award-winning journalist, Miller was one of my favourite professors at Ryerson, where I studied journalism). Miller takes issue, and rightly so, not only with the allegations but with the actions (or, in this case, inaction) of Globe public editor Sylvia Stead: “Stead treats it as a minor misdemeanor, a bit of temporary carelessness over one single attribution, worthy of only an editor’s note in the paper’s electronic archives,” writes Miller. “She doesn’t even mention the word plagiarism. This is a shockingly inadequate response, one that I believe has irreparably compromised the integrity of the Globe and Mail’s new public editor, and also tarnished the reputation of the newspaper itself.” Indeed, in cases of alleged plagiarism, the response – perceived or otherwise – is often as important as the wrongdoing itself. Wainio not only exposed unacceptable work by one of the nation’s best-known columnists, but

also highlighted the inadequacy and ineffectiveness of the Globe’s public editor position. Presumably in response to the public outcry, Stead will now report to the paper’s publisher as opposed to its editor, supposedly increasing her impartiality, though I highly doubt that’s possible at this point. For her part, Wente admits to wrongdoing (though her “apology” is, in my opinion, of that backhanded nature that sounds forced and not genuine), writing: “But there is a sentence from Mr. Gardner’s column that also appears in my column. The only explanation is that I put it in my notes, then put it in my column. That was extremely careless and, for that, I apologize.” Now, for my opinion (sorry for the delay, but I wanted to summarize the events with diligent attribution). When you are a writer of non-ﬁction, whether an academic, a journalist or otherwise, you are acutely aware of plagiarism, primarily because your work is public and therefore subject to scrutiny. When I was a student, I was sometimes criticized for having too many quotes in my papers. It wasn’t because I didn’t have good ideas of my own, but because I feared the absence of attribution. I ﬁgured it was better to be safe than sorry, and Wente should have taken the same approach. To me, the notion that

Wente copied the line from Gardner’s article word-forword into her notebook and then, later, put the same sentence into her article verbatim, is absurd. If, after years of being a journalist, it’s not Wente’s practice to scribble quotation marks and attribution into her notebook to prevent such “accidents,” then maybe she needs a refresher course in journalistic practice. I’m not proclaiming to be an expert, but that seems to me to be a basic aspect of the profession. Of course, part of what makes the whole saga so frustrating is that we don’t know how Wente has been reprimanded, if she really has at all. Her regular column was absent from last Saturday’s Globe Focus section, but who knows whether she considers the time off a suspension or a forced vacation to appease some angry members of the public. A genuine apology might also have gone a long way, though no one seems willing to offer up one of those. Sadly, interest in this case will fade, and Wente will continue to write her – hopefully original – columns. What must change is the culture of acceptance and indifference that fails to treat allegations of plagiarism with the seriousness they deserve. Journalism is facing enough challenges these days. Unfortunately, there’s little disagreement about that.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper IN OUR OPINION

In Our Opinion

Risks of recreational activities EMC Editorial – Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released an updated policy statement reaffirming its position on the recreational use trampolines. In the document, the AAP strongly discourages the home use of recreational trampolines as they have the potential to cause significant injury. Earlier this year, the Canadian Pediatric Society reaffirmed a similar statement. According to the policy statement, most trampoline-related injuries are sprains, strains, contusions, and other soft tissue injury, the most common being an ankle; however, other more serious injuries including fractures and head and neck injuries causing neurological damage can occur. We are not trying to undermine the potential risks posed to those who utilize home-based recreational trampolines, we believe it far better to educate parents about these risks and advise them what precautions to take to avoid potential injury rather than discourage their use altogether and encourage pediatricians to counsel their patients and families against their use. In a news report, the co-author of the APP statement, Dr. Michele LaBotz, stressed there is no safe way to use a recreational trampoline. Surely there is. So many activities have the potential to cause injury. We may not be able to eliminate the risk, but measures can certainly be taken to minimize it. Just the other week a family member of an EMC staffer suffered a concussion after being hit in the head with a soccer ball. Unlike the Toronto elementary school that earlier this year banned most balls from its school grounds, we understand and accept that all recreational activities have risk involved. Heck, when we were in school it was standard practice for kids to throw balls at their peers during games like wall ball, dodge ball and tether ball. It also wasn’t uncommon to see groups of girls attempting risky cheerleading pyramids at recess, not matting involved. Even red rover was still around. In an age when we are trying to encourage more activity among youth due to the growing childhood obesity rate, one would think we would be doing more to encourage recreational activities on the playground and at home. Instead, we seem to be doing everything we can to halt progress on this growing social issue. We vote education not elimination when looking at childhood safety and recreational activities.

Frontenac Islands Considered Many Issues in September By Margaret Knott Correspondent

EMC news - A snapshot of the September meeting of Frontenac Islands Council included, as part of the Committee of Adjustment file, a discussion regarding a zoning bylaw amendment to rezone a lot from residential to commercial made by Mike Phillips, for his coffee shop in Marysville. A previous minor variance to allow the coffee shop as a home business was deemed invalid as Phillips does not live in the house also on the property. There were no objections to the coffee shop located in the existing small building but to any further commercial activity which could occur with the passage of the amendment. The application was deferred. Frontenac County Planner Joe Gallivan will work with Phillips to determine the possibility of the zoning the shop commercial and the remainder of the property residential. While accepting the approach Phillips commented that the village has a number of businesses on the main street and new

businesses bring more people to the island. * Howe Island’s Austin Page submitted a “Report of St. Mary’s School Committee” with regard to all aspects including historical significance of acquiring and refurbishing the school for the benefit of the community. The report recommends that the township acquire the building for $1.00 plus legal fees, facilitate its restoration and operation but provide no further funding. Instead a non-profit community organization be formed to undertake the financing, restoration, etc., under lease agreements with the township. Council will make a decision during the 2013 budget process, and received the report as information only. * Council accepted the township’s consolidated Financial statements (2011) presented by Vicki Leakey of KPMG, their auditors. She noted a number of gas tax and management issues that council must deal, but all in all it was a great presentation by Ms. Leakey’ *In response to a presentation made by Bylaw Officer Ken Gilpin in August, council will hire the

firm of Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement for animal control and by-law enforcement issues at a stand by rate of $ 400.00 plus HST per month, an hourly rate of $ 25.00 per hour plus HST, mileage of $ 0.47 per kilometer and reimbursement of applicable ferry fares, provided that the firm can be added to the Township’s errors & omissions insurance at no extra cost. *A parking bylaw has been amended to say that parking is prohibited on both sides of Victoria Street north from Rd’#96 to the water, and allowed only on the west side of Victoria Street south of Rd.#96 . Victoria Street north to the water is the location of a community dock, public washrooms, a small park, the WI Boat Club and a residential cottage. *Council accepted the revised HI Transportation Study draft RFP presented by Planner Gallivan for a consulting team to work on the study. The study will focus on the review of existing and future levels of ferry service over a twenty year period. A steering committee (staff,1-2

council members) assist in the process. In a letter to council HI resident Terry Botten noted the need for community input as well. *The Howe Island Municipal Office is in line for a water softener and re-route of the non potable water. * WI Metcalf Lane residents are concerned about a plan to have the Light at Quebec Head designated a Heritage site and what that means to them in terms of public access. The township will seek information about the plan from Fisheries and Oceans. Council meets next Howe Island Municipal Office Tuesday, Oct. 8th at 6:30 pm Around Town: 1.The Wolfe Island ferry is now operating from the winter dock at Dawson Point. It continued to dock in Marysville long enough for a number of scheduled large events to happen, allowing city visitors to attend without cars. Horne’s Ferry to the USA will continue to operate until October 28th. 2. And what a season it has been with its many festivals, events (Scene of the Crime Festival, Music

Fest, Road Race, Family Ball Tournament, Barrett’s Bay Regatta, the Plowing Match, Historical Society’s Speakers series, etc. etc.), programs and places to visit. Les Voltigeurs de Quebec came. A new business opened, a WI Garden Club was born, and so it went, one event, celebration, opportunity after another, and business thrived. . 3.Visitors came (and continue to do so), walking, cycling, by car, in numbers have not seen before. It continues to amaze that a community of 1400 full time residents have the energy, stamina and volunteers to undertake all they do. 4. The WI Network for a Healthy Community has plans underway for an exciting new fall and winter season for island adults and youth. 5. Skaters are already eyeing the weather wondering how soon there will be ice at the rink. Posters everywhere are hard to miss. 6. The Alston Moore Golf Links is closing at the end of this golfing season “with regret”, according to owner Mildred Hawkins Walton . ”But it is time,” she said.

The Driving Range however, will remain in operation into the future. 7. The townships’ cable operated ferries are sitting very low in the water as water levels drop. 8. Howe Island held another successful Terry Fox run for Cancer Research Coming Events: Visit www.wolfeisland.com and a reminder of: Community Euchre WI United Church Hall Thursday’s 7 pm

Kingston casino study lays out strong economic hand; New jobs, more spending CASINO From page 1

as high as $1.2 billion under the best-case scenario for a commercial casino, said Enigma’s research. KEDCO says the study is not a cost-benefit analysis, and does not attempt to analyze the social or physical impacts that a casino may have in Kingston. But casino supporters are expected to point to the benefits as too hard to ignore, including the job creation side of it. A stand-alone casino would create 628 jobs; 60 construction jobs, 360 permanent casino jobs, plus 208 in tourism-related employment. A larger resort casino would create 3,491 jobs in Kingston, according

to the study. The research involved a national telephone survey of tourists, and whether they’d be more inclined to visit a Kingston casino. The outcome found six percent of respondents would likely visit, representing a potential market size of 1.5 million Canadian adults. The results also seem to challenge the Downtown Kingston’s concern that casino goers would be less inclined to spend money on hotels, restaurants and stores, noting non-casino expenditures of $137 million over a five year period. Another survey of tourist preferences, this one focusing on the opinions of 900 Kingston visitors, said a casino was well down their list of reasons to visit here.

In fact, a casino ranked last on a list of 7 attractions, behind aquarium, zoo, concert hall, water park, sports arenas and a theme park. However, 20 percent of local respondents still said they would likely visit a casino. As for the potential location of a gaming centre? Most residents, 42 percent, say it should be built along Highway 401, while only 17 prefer it downtown. Another 42 percent had no preference. The KEDCO study represents one piece of the puzzle, as councillors try to assemble as much information as possible about the pros and cons of bringing slot machines and card tables within city borders. The study was presented to council earlier this week. Photo/John Harman

Two Weird Ladies Bomb Kingston By Kristen Coughlar

kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – Two weird ladies are set to bomb the Limestone City next Saturday. Kingston native Laura Salvas and her sketch partner Mandy Sellers will take to the stage at the Time to Laugh Comedy Club with their sketch comedy show Two Weird Ladies Bomb Kingston. Fresh off a successful debut at the Toronto Fringe Festival in July, Salvas is excited to bring the sketch comedy revue to the Limestone City. “It’s really exciting to know

I’m coming back to Kingston. I used to perform at, it used to be called the Princess Court Theatre. I had an improve show there every Saturday and it was so much fun. Now it’s Time to Laugh Comedy Club.” Salvas, a programming coordinator at Citytv, grew up in Kingston and attended Loyalist Collegiate and Vocational Institute. She was a member of the improve team and was active with Theatre 5. She performed weekly at Saturday Night at the Improv with the troupe Highly Improv-able. “I’ve always thought that making jokes can make situa-

tions less awkward. I’m kind of shy so sometimes in a situation it’s easier just to make a joke to break the tension…I’m also a bit of a control freak, so I think improv is the one thing I do where I can’t be a control freak because you are making it all up on the spot,” Salvas said of her passion for comedy and improv. After high school, Salvas attended Ryerson University, where she started an improv club and continued to be active in theatre. She eventually landed at The Second City, where she fell in love with sketch comedy. “I found sketch and I was like ‘Oh, now I can write everything down and be a control freak but still be on stage,’” she laughed. A sketch comedy consists of a collection of short comedy scenes, or “sketches”. Unlike skits where more improvisation is involved, sketches follow a written script. The Second City is also where Salvas met her sketch partner. Salvas noted that last year Sellers was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award in the Best Female Improviser category, and was recently hired by The Second City as part of its touring company. “It was weird. I had been doing a lot of stand-up and she’d been doing a lot of improv and then we got together and started doing a lot of sketch,” Salvas said. She explained that the duo’s sketches are typically inspired by real life events. “A lot of times we’ll be to-

gether and be getting frustrated over something and one of us will say ‘this would make a great sketch.’ We kind of take inspiration from reality and then we’ll sit there and think, well how can we make this more insane?” Salvas said she and Sellers started forming their current revue last November when they got into the Toronto Fringe Festival. “We started writing a bunch of sketches and testing them out and basically sort of put together an hour of our best sketches. But instead of just making it a nonsensical group of different scenes, we tried to make everything connect.” Both play various characters throughout the show, and each scene is different than the next, but all are tied together by a central theme. “The underlying theme is that Mandy is a terrible sketch writer and wants to end every scene with an explosion…she is sort of the irresponsible idiot that wants to just blow things up and I am the control freak who is doing all the work and is trying to stop her from sabotaging our show.” Salvas said she is excited for the opportunity to bring the show, which was directed by Kristen Gallagher, to Kingston audiences. “I really wanted to be able to bring the show home and play in Kingston again.” She said she and Sellers have also submitted the show to various upcoming fringe and com-

Hart to Heart: Local medium helps Kingstonians connect with loved ones on the other side By Kristen Coughlar kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC News - Up until 14 years ago, Veronica Hart was just like you and me. Today, she’s still like you and me, but she has a special gift. She’s a medium. “I didn’t believe in it, never did…I was at my other job, I work at Metro, and I happened to say, ‘Is this it? Is this what I’m meant to be doing?’ Virtually the next day things

changed,” Hart explained. As a medium, Hart has the ability to communicate with those who have crossed over. “For about three or four years just a lot of things happened,” Hart said, explaining that she began seeing relatives that had crossed over and having conversations with them. “A lot of people say, ‘did you have a near death experience?’ or ‘did you have an accident and then start to see stuff?’…I had just been nap-

ping on the couch.” The year was 1998, the year celebrity medium John Edward came on the scene with his first book. He first aired his show, Crossing Over, a year later. Hart knew nothing of mediums or what exactly was happening to her. After watching one of Edwards’ shows, Hart hit up chapters to purchase his book. She connected with Edwards’ story. “I thought, oh my god, this is what I can do,” she said. At first, Hart didn’t welcome the gift. “I don’t want this, give it to someone else,” she would say. Eventually, she began to accept her gift. After all, she didn’t have much of a choice. “I think it was given to me because I am a skeptic and I’m not just going to take something at [face value].” Hart spent three to four years in training, using her friends as guinea pigs, testing her abilities. A shy person, it took Hart a long time to put herself out there, under the scrutiny of the public eye. She eventually conceded that she would have to, otherwise people would never know of the service she is able to provide. “I’ve done shows, I’ve done a lot for charity…you have to put yourself in that

position to say, ‘ok, I’m here. If you want to come and see me, this is where I am.’ I just can’t stay in my kitchen and not let anyone know there’s a service,” she said. However, in her own home, working one on one with a client is where she feels most comfortable. Hart is able to convey messages from those who have crossed over via the assistance of images and words. She noted that some spirits will use one or two words or long sentences to convey a message, but a lot of times they use images. “For example, to try and get me to Florida sometimes they don’t say it. To get me there quick they’ll show me an orange and then I’ll say ‘where’s the connection down south.’” During my interview with Hart, I had a reading done. My original thought was to include some of the information from my reading in this story, but it was a very personal experience I now don’t wish to share with the masses. However, I will say it was a positive experience. Everyone’s experience will be different, every reading will be different; it all depends on your loved ones who step forward.

Local medium Veronica Hart. All, however, should be positive. “Having an experience with a medium you should walk out of there feeling light and feeling like you’ve connected.” After splitting her time doing readings and working at Metro, Hart is making a life change and committing herself fully to her work as a medium.

“I want to focus just on this and say, ‘this is who I am’.” It’s a risky step, but one she feels is necessary in order for her to be true to who she really is. “If I let that go, I feel more things are going to happen,” she said.

Queen’s University launches initiative campaign EMC News - Queen’s University is launching the Initiative Campaign – the most ambitious campaign in its 171-year history – with an initial fundraising goal of half a billion dollars and an extra $100 million in planned estate giving. More than 59 per cent of the initial fundraising goal was raised prior to ofﬁcially launching the campaign with almost $300 million donated to date. “This is a decisive moment in Queen’s history,” says Principal Daniel Woolf, Artsci’80. “The Initiative Campaign, through the power of philanthropy, is about investing in the people of Queen’s who – like the generations before them – will not waver in their pursuit of excellence. It’s about unleashing the potential of our thinkers and doers. We have an opportunity to earn the conﬁdence and support of the Queen’s family and friends, and to inspire a gen-

eration of supporters to come forward and make their mark on the university now.” The recent Academic Plan and Strategic Research Plan form the basis of the Initiative Campaign’s broad goal of providing an environment where opportunity meets excellence. Four key themes underpin the campaign. These are to: • • •

be the destination for exceptional people; enhance our students’ learning experiences; secure our global reputation in discovery and inquiry; and nurture a supportive community.

Some of the campaign priorities include: a student life centre/wellness centre; campus-wide student assistance; and an innovation and global leadership initiative. Physical and mental wellness are essential to student

success – both in academics and in life. A new centre would bring health, counselling and disability services together, and augment them with dental care, nutrition education and other related services. The aim of the innovation and global leadership initiative is to develop the innovators who will fuel the success of technology-driven companies, and provide direct solutions for corporate challenges and incubation for start-ups. Campus-wide student assistance funding will dramatically increase our merit- and need-based assistance for students from all programs and years. Gordon Nixon, Com’79, LLD’03, President and CEO of RBC, is the campaign’s volunteer chair working with 140 volunteer cabinet members. Several high-proﬁle initiatives have been made possible already as a result of campaign donations since

2006 including: the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts currently under construction; the recently completed School of Medicine Building; the Goodes Hall expansion; and the RBC Blue Water Initiative. “The generosity of our benefactors has provided the Initiative Campaign with tremendous momentum,” says Tom Harris, Sc’75, VicePrincipal (Advancement). “Over the next four years, we look forward to engaging our alumni and friends around the world and earning their support for the ideas, inventions and discoveries of Queen’s people who care about the world around them and take the initiative for change.” Queen’s will host regional launches to tell the story of Queen’s and the Initiative Campaign in Calgary on October 3, Toronto on October 10, and Ottawa on October 18.

CNN’s chief business correspondent and Queen’s alumni Ali Velshi was the emcee for the Initiative Campaign event held Saturday in Grant Hall.

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are part of the collective set of conditions known as inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD. Although Crohn’s and colitis share similar symptoms, they are not the same and often require different treatment options. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are typically diagnosed by a gastroenterologist. Those aware of each condition commonly mistake one for the other and may not know what to look for during a particular IBD event. There are some distinct differences between the two conditions. Understanding the differences can assist patients who want to be actively involved in their treatment. * Crohn’s disease inflammation can occur anywhere in the digestive tract. It may cause irritation from the mouth to the anus. Ulcerative colitis, meanwhile, is typically relegated to the colon or the large intestine. Sometimes inflammation will be present in the very end of the small intestines as well. * Ulcerative colitis tends to spread progressively through the colon, while Crohn’s disease may occur in patches without continuous spreading. As a result, with Crohn’s disease there can be healthy tissue between two diseased areas. * During a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, doctors can view the inflamed areas inside the colon. With Crohn’s disease, the walls of the colon often appear thickened and may look like cobblestone, thanks to the pockets of healthy tissue among diseased tissue. With ulcerative colitis, the walls of the colon are thin and the inflammation is evenly distributed. * Individuals who have ulcerative colitis tend to bleed during bowel movements, whereas blood may not be present in stool for those with Crohn’s. * The name ulcerative colitis describes ulcers present in the mucous lining of the large intestines. These ulcers are quite shallow. However, patients with Crohn’s disease could have ulcers extending deep within the bowel wall. * Another interesting difference between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis is that smoking tobacco seems to aggravate symptoms of those with Crohn’s while it eases symptoms for those with ulcerative colitis. However, smoking is not recommended to treat ulcerative colitis, as the negative side effects of smoking far outweigh any potentially positive consequences.

The fight of my life, surviving cancer My Story From page 7

R0011653043

There was a day that I will never forget. I had already stopped working and it was a rare day with no medical appointments. Trying my very best to stay positive and keep my mind preoccupied, I received a phone call, a phone call that I can look back on now and say is what gave me the strength I needed. Dr. Greg had called to see how I was feeling and inquired as to whether or not I had received further re-

sults. At this point I knew what my mammogram had shown, but he wanted me to know that my Cancer had not spread to my other organs. That call, on that day, brought me my second biggest cry. It was the news I needed to hear, that it wasn’t too late. Strangely enough, as disheartening as it was to hear that I had Breast Cancer, that call had almost lifted weight off my shoulders. It gave me the strength, hope and faith I needed. Yes, I have Breast Cancer, but I won’t let Cancer have me.

The Kingston EMC - Thursday, October 4, 2012

And so it went: six chemotherapy treatments. It was important to eat well, sleep well and stay physically and mentally balanced, but here I was, the night before my first chemo treatment, and I could not sleep. I was doing the whole hindsight thing. “Was there anything I could have done differently? Why didn’t I find the lump sooner? Why did I feel like an intruder in someone else’s life?” I woke in the morning with this ‘let’s do this’ attitude as I headed to the Kingston General Hospital Can-

cer Clinic. I have learned quickly there are things in life that you cannot control and Chemo was just another one for me. I was told about the side effects. The nurses told me what all could be part of my life as I knew it. The nausea, weakness, joint and muscle ache, mouth sores, hair loss and more. You could be subject to some or all of the side effects, but it was a wait and see and hope for the best situation. I went from being a person who took no medication at all, to feeling like I had a pharmacy at my

house. I sat in the chemotherapy room, in my chemo chair, hooked up to needles and tubes, looking around the room feeling sad, but oddly enough also the comfort of not being alone. That first visit was the longest one, with all the information from my cancer doctor, pharmacist, nutritionist and social worker. The nurses and staff, including volunteers, are amazing people with their sense of compassion, optimism and friendship. I had never met any of them before, but it didn’t take long before

I formed a bond. After my second treatment, I was meeting people of all ages and we were exchanging stories about our lives, our cancers and ourselves. Just after my first treatment, my hair began to shed, thin, and my scalp became tender. Cancer had so much control over my body already that I felt it was best that I made the decision to shave my head. As soon as it was gone, I wanted it back. I had this profound sense of insecurity and sadness about how I looked. The day I shaved my hair was my third biggest cry. I don’t think I was ever in denial of having cancer, but I often wonder how I got through some days. I had six treatments in eighteen weeks and had almost all of the side effects. There were days where I went from a mother on the go and a working woman to a person with muscle pain that prevented me from living my everyday life, weakness that made me tired, and mouth sores that kept me from eating. Cancer can take such a physical toll, but it was the ever-changing mental roller coaster that I found so difficult. There were days when I felt strong, positive and optimistic, but there were also days when I just needed to cry. I needed to give myself permission to cry. I hated being sick. My last day of Chemo felt liberating and I cried tears of joy and self pride this time. I am now four weeks post mastectomy surgery and recovering before I begin radiation. My journey is almost complete but will never be forgotten. Cancer has been a wake up-call in my life. For every day that I cried, I have more days of knowing, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” My name is Natalie and I am a Cancer Survivor. I would like to thank Dr. Iverson, Dr. Kumar, Dr. Walker, Dr. Falksan, all of the nurse’s and Staff of the Kingston General Hospital Cancer Clinic, Tod, my family, friends and my extended family of clients. I wouldn’t be here without you all.

Kingston boys making hair donations a family tradition By Lorraine Payette EMC Staff

EMC News - The last person you’d expect to donate 10-inches of hair to charity is an eight-yearold boy. But then, he had to beat out his big brother somehow, now didn’t he? Jacob Moyer had his hair cut on Sept. 23, and was delighted to do so. He got the idea from his big brother, Samuel (now 11) who did the same thing two years ago when he was nine. “A very good friend of the family has a fundraiser for breast cancer every year at her store, Ancient Beads, in Vineland, Ont.,” said Michelle Moyer, the boys’ mother. “Just over five years ago, the boys’ cousin, Jessie Arthur, was diagnosed with leukemia.” It was at that time that the store owner decided to add hair donations and cuts to the event. “When Jessie lost her battle with cancer, it was a way the boys could connect and remember their cousin, and at the same time contribute to cancer research,” said Moyer. “The fundraiser has been going on now for over five years, and Jacob is the latest in a long line of haircuts from his three older cousins and his big brother.” The hair will be sent to

Wigs for Kids in St. Catharines, Ont., where it will be made into a wig. It takes many donors to make a single wig, and the financial cost can be high, ranging from about $800 to $1,000. In addition to the hair, Jacob helped by also raising $700 for cancer research. “We raised the money with the support and generosity of family, friends, neighbours and co-workers,” said Moyer. “If I remember correctly, his brother had raised approximately $600.” Although he was more than happy to help, Jacob had times when he wasn’t too happy with the project. He had some problem hair at the nape of his neck. No matter what he would do, it would tangle quite badly, and just wouldn’t stop com-

ing back. “I won’t miss that dreaded lock (the tangled hair),” he declared firmly. Although this is becoming well established as a family tradition, there are no plans for the boys to grow their hair out again soon. However, there are plenty of other family members to carry on the tradition. “I have to admit that the morning routine has become a lot easier,” said Moyer. And who knows, if a few more family members join in, they just might be trying it again.

Jacob’s hair gets a final combing and is braided before being cut and donated to charity.

EMC Sports - Kingston Frontenacs fans, listen up! Your favourite home team has come up with a contest just for you, and it’s something everyone will love. “In honour of our 40th season of junior hockey in Kingston, [the] Frontenacs are excited to announce a special promotion where a one lucky fan could walk away a millionaire with the ‘$1 million Golden Goal’,” says Jeff Stilwell, Director of Marketing and Communication for the team. Dominion Lending Centres and Royal LePage ProAlliance are the powers behind the “$1 million Golden Goal”, where one lucky fan could walk away as a brand new millionaire. During the first 32 home games of the up-coming season, Kingston Frontenacs fans 18 years of age and older will have the chance to enter ballots giving the correct time for the first goal scored in the third period of that game. Those who get it right will qualify to attend a special event to be held at Fanatics Sports Lounge on Princess Street on March

5, 2013. A single qualifier will then be selected from those present to shoot for a $1 million dollar prize at the final home game for the season on March 15. The shoot will occur during the second period intermission, and one shot could make a lot of dreams come true for some lucky fan. “You can only celebrate a 40th anniversary once, so why not do it with a bang, and in this case a sevenfigure bang,” said Stilwell. “A million dollars is a lot of cash, and we’re hoping someone walks away with it.” Rules are available online and at the Frontenacs home games, and remember, you can’t win if you don’t play. Current or former professional, semiprofessional hockey players or coaches (high school or higher) or Olympic participants, Junior A, B, or hockey players who are currently playing at the Junior B or a higher level are ineligible, but all other fans are encouraged to come on out and participate. “We thought the idea of one puck, one shot, one goal for $1 million was an opportunity to have fun

I Love Water Polo a splash hit on Sports Day in Canada ity and sport participation in Canada. “Sports Day in Canada is a great opportunity for families and kids of all ages to celebrate their favourite sport or try their hand at something new – it’s all part of finding fun, easy ways to live a healthier, more active lifestyle.” Sport is a powerful vehicle for building community and strengthening our national spirit while encouraging everyone to participate in healthier, more active living. During the week leading up to the official celebrations, over a thousand local events took place. ParticipACTION, True Sport and CBC Sports presented Sports Day in Canada, producing a special sportscast on the CBC. Joining them were a network of national sporting organizations and their member athletes and coaches, as well as many sports fans throughout Canada. “We had a great turnout for this first time event,” said Dave Hill, varsity water polo coach at Queen’s. “It’s been a long time coming, and I’m very happy to see Queen’s

stations and a mini-tournament for boys and girls ages 8-14. They were joined by Crystal Adam, and the kids had the time of their lives as they enjoyed learning new skills and using Kingston’s largest pool. “This event kick starts the launch of Queen’s new I Love Water Polo program,” said Kate Kittner, Coordinator of

Marketing and Communications for the Queen’s University Athletics & Recreation Department. “The Gaels Water Polo athletes are helping reach out to the community through a national Physical Literacy program that is part of the Long Term Athlete Development initiative of Sport Canada.

FOOD AND STUFF

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

This Chop Suey is not a Chinese dish Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

EMC Lifestyle - On one of our visits to Jeff’s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a Chop Suey Loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in Christmas baking. It’s available year round from many bulk food stores and in the supermarkets around Christmas. It’s important to rinse the candied fruit with water to remove excess sugar. This gives the bread a lighter texture.

The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf heavy and dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture. Chop Suey Loaf 3/4 cup water 1/4 skim milk powder 1 egg 1 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. white sugar 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, at room temperature 2 1/3 cups ﬂour 1 cup candied fruit 1/4 cup raisins 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve, and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on a double thickness of paper towel, and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an Extras option which adds fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into the section for Extras. If it doesn’t, you will have to add the raisins later.

Place the water, milk powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in the order given. After measuring the flour, use about 2 tablespoons of it, and lightly dust the candied fruit with it. Place the remaining flour in the bread pan, then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot. (You don’t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter.) Set the bread machine for the Sweet Cycle, or on some machines the Fruit and Nut Cycle. If it has the automatic Extras feature, press the Extras button. Don’t use the Delay Cycle with this loaf. This recipe makes a 1 1/2 lb. loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesn’t have the automatic Extras feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins, and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan, and let it cool for an hour before slicing.

You don’t need to be embarrassed about breastfeeding. Breastfeeding prepares your child for a lifetime of health — body and mind. Wanting what’s best for your baby? There’s nothing strange about that!

A relaxing dinner, or much more By Mark Bergin Columnist

EMC Lifestyle - At The Waring House, an 1860s farmstead just west of Picton, you can choose a warm, romantic setting or a friendly pub for a meal.

At times, during past visits, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt like I was in an Irish country home. The reason is obvious. In addition to friendly staff, the original home was built for Thomas Waring, son of Irish immigrant Joshua Waring. Hugh Smith, the stonemason who

FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS

built the house, hailed from County Down in Ireland. Ameliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden, the onsite restaurant, offers a variety of ďŹ ne dining options. Next door, Barley Room Pub features pub fare in a relaxed gathering spot. Menus for both establishments are on their website. The Waring House offers much more than dining. If you go to their website, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling themselves The Waring House Restaurant, Inn, Cookery School, Spa & Conference Centre. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mouthful, and then some. Getting there is part of the fun. The route to The War-

ing House involves a peaceful drive along the Loyalist Parkway with the waters of the Bay of Quinte on your south side for much of the trip. In the distance, you can see Quinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Isle. At the end of the highway, the Glenora ferry ride takes less than ten minutes. Hwy 33 picks up where the ferry docks on the far side. The ferry leaves the Adolphustown dock every half hour on the quarter and three-quarter hour (returning ferries leave on the hour and half hour) from 6 a.m. to 1:15 a.m. Through October, they are still on their summer/autumn schedule,

laxation mode. Staff members make you feel at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rustic country charm you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in a lot of places,â&#x20AC;? said Peter Law, director of marketing and communications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Along with that, you get Eastern Ontario hospitality.â&#x20AC;? Ameliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden dining roomâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;named for Amelia Waring, one of the original homesteaders, offers subtle beauty. According to Peter Law, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be offering special Thanksgiving turkey and prime rib meals throughout this weekend, and a Thanks-

with ferries leaving every 15 minutes between 6:15 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. For those with small children or too much water consumption on the way, there are washrooms at the dock on each side of the crossing. At this time of year, as you head into Glenora, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the colours of autumn leaves. Have your camera ready for scenic photo opportunities. You may want to take a brief side trip to Lake of the Mountain for a spectacular view, looking down across the water toward Adolphustown. Once you reach Waring House, you can go into full re-

Knowledge is power. In the coming weeks the EMC will seek to educate its readers about various dog breeds. Whether shopping for a canine companion at the local humane society or with an Ontario breeder, an informed decision will ensure you ﬁnd the perfect family pet. kcoughlar@perfprint.ca

EMC News – According to Lorraine Burch, in Ontario there are less than five dedicated breeders of the first dog breed in our Finding Fido series. Burch and her husband have been breeding Akitas for 23 years and are registered members with the Canadian Kennel Club. Their kennel, Akitas of Kireisa, translated as Akitas of Beauty, is located in the community of Flamborough in Hamilton, Ont. Involved with dogs all her life, Burch always had plans to breed her own dogs. “I’ve been involved with dogs my entire life…We’ve always had dogs in the family,” she explained. “My Grade 4 teacher actually was the one who introduced me to dog shows and subsequently that led to breeding and so on. I’ve always known that at some point in time, when the time was right, that I would like to breed my own dog.” The Akita was the breed

that captured her heart. She said she and her husband were looking for a large breed that was protective and would make them feel safe both in and out of their home. “I’m a very outdoorsy

person and I work shift, so when I’d go for walks late at night or in the middle of the night I wanted to have a dog that I could feel safe with. The Akita fit the bill. Plus, they were a little bit unusual, which is some-

thing else that appealed to me at the time.” Originally bred in the northern prefecture of Akita, Japan, the Akita is a large spitz breed. Initially bred as a fighting dog, the Akita later evolved into more of a

hunter, specifically of bear and small game. Within the breed there are two separate strains: Japanese and American. The American Akita

evolved following the Second World War, when American servicemen, impressed with the breed, See FIDO page 31

giving brunch on Sunday. Reservations are recommended. The stone-walled Barley Room Pub is attached to the building in the old stone kitchen

wing and carriage house. The pub has characteristic warmth you would expect of its 19th century stone setting. For those who wish to combine more than just one glass of wine with their dinner, Waring House has 49 rooms available for overnight stays. Prices range

from $149 - $299. It’s always worth checking for promotions. Right now, if you want to take relaxation to the max, you can book six nights for $699. Rooms have inviting beds and duvets, high speed internet access and cable TV—a paradox given the romantic nature of this

setting. Who wants to watch TV or surf the net if they’re in such a place? Some rooms have ﬁreplaces, Jacuzzi baths and walkout decks. All are quiet and beautifully landscaped. The vineyard view cottage is a private and exclusive stone dwelling. This room is so popu-

lar you should reserve well in advance. Stepping inside this beautiful limestone building explains its popularity. In addition to an indoor soaking bath, it has its own secluded outdoor hot tub overlooking the vineyard. I’ve sometimes travelled hundreds of thousands of miles in a year, and I’m often astounded by the level of waste in hotels. Not so at The Waring House’s newest accommodation buildings, the Quaker Lodge and Heritage Lodge. Examples of their environmental consciousness include: geothermal heating – energy efficient heat from the Earth. It converts to air conditioning in the summer; hot water that’s heated by solar-power; energy efficient, electric fireplaces; bathroom soaps packaged in paper and shampoos that are biodegradable and in bottles made from corn; luxurious bath towels and robes made from renewable resource cotton; maintaining pesticidefree lawns and gardens; and the use environmentally-friendly cleaning products. A cookery school is located on site. There are also wine enjoyment classes, trips and tasting

in regional vineyards, and wine tasting gourmet dinners. The setting also has a spa on site, located in the Quaker Lodge. The Garden Spa offers hand and foot care, massage, facials and other body care options. Whether it’s a relaxing meal, a romantic dinner, a massage, a conference or a vacation to relieve stress, you’ll ﬁnd pleasant options at The Waring House on the Isle of Quinte. Directions: The Waring House is located at the junction of Highway 33 and Highway 1, three kilometres west of Picton. From Kingston, you can reach The Waring House without a single road change. Travel west on Bath Road. It becomes Hwy 33. The road leads directly into the Glenora ferry. After crossing on the ferry, take Hwy 33 through Picton. The Waring House is on the southwest corner of Hwy 33 and Hwy 1 and can’t be missed. It’s about 60 kilometres from Kingston. For more information: www.waringhouse.com.

From page 29

brought it home with them. Burch is a breeder of American Akitas. “The American Akita is a large dog…males on average would be between 26 and 28 inches at the shoulder and 105 to 130 pounds. Females are little bit smaller, they’re about 24 to 25 inches at the shoulder and 85 to 100 pounds,” Burch explained. The breed typically lives 1012 years. She noted that American Akitas come in virtually any colour, making them unique in that respect. “It’s very rare that you will see two Akitas that you could consider identical. They are all very unique in their marking and their patterns.” As far as grooming requirements are concerned, Burch said that Akitas do require fairly regular brushing. They also have a thick undercoat that molts twice a year, once around January and again near the end of summer. Outside of those two times of year, the breed sheds very little. “For those two times of year you have to, for a period of about three weeks, brush them daily or every other day to rake that undercoat out,” When it comes to physical

activity, Burch said the breed enjoys regular exercise. “They’re built for endurance at a slow, steady pace. They’re ideal for hiking and walking,” she said. “They’re very affected by the heat, so in the summer they won’t do a lot, except sleep on top of an air conditioning vent or a nice, cool ﬂoor somewhere. During the other three seasons, there is very little that will stop them; they’ll go out in rain, snow, whatever. They’ve got the coat to withstand it.” Health conditions associated with the breed can include hip dysplasia, low thyroid and gastric torsion or bloat. “Probably the one thing that most concerns me, as a breeder and a lover of dogs, is gastric torsion or bloat, where the stomach twists. They are fairly prone to that as a breed,” Burch said. In terms of temperament, Akitas tend to be affectionate, loyal and protective of their families and can be aloof with strangers. They’re an independent and strong-minded breed, and as a result Burch recommends owners with alpha personalities. “If you don’t have an appropriate owner they will take advantage and they will become more and more

assertive.” An experienced owner is also recommended. “They’re not an ideal dog for a first-time dog owner, unless that person is very determined and has the right kind of personality to basically mould the Akita into a model canine citi-

zen. They’re a strong dog; they’re physically strong, they’re mentally strong,” Burch said. She noted that those interested in adding an Akita to their home should be sure to contact a reputable breeder, one who has been breeding for good health

and good temperament and one who is willing to stand behind the dog and help them through the life of the dog. “You do not want to go to a backyard breeder because the temperament on these dogs if they are not bred and raised properly

can become problematic.” Additional information on the Akita breed and Akitas of Kireisa can be found online at http://www.kireisa.com/. Be sure to be on the lookout for more editions of Finding Fido in the upcoming weeks.

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories

his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself, and had the cost added to your Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade. Where sometimes weeks would go by, and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business. I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand. And it was binding. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade a couple head of cattle for an old model T, or a load of hay, for a steer, or a few loads of gravel for your first car. Today, I am thankful I grew up in a home where there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our

own fun...toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a button box, and Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue...all filling hours of fun and not costing a penny! I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than receive. Giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, had Mother reminding us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her handknitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted. Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain, and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken, or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter. And I remember his sit-

ting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke. I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth. Where even the youngest was made to feel important, and daily chores, done to a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson. This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today, and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy and blessed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanksgiving.â&#x20AC;?

Jim Boltin to be remembered with hospitals fundraiser at GISS By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - The loss of Jim Boltin in August was a difficult one for the Town of Gananoque. “Jim Boltin was a great friend of mine and my buddy when it came to fundraising for the community,” said John Peter of the Lions Club. “We lost a very large individual at the young age of 62 to cancer.” Boltin may well be remembered for his time with the Montreal Alouettes, playing linebacker for them

in 1974. He was a seventh round draft pick out of Otterbein College. But he is far better remembered for all he did for Gananoque. “He was a Lions club member and raised funds for kids in the community and for everything,” said Peter. “He coached football, he ran golf tournaments (for cancer), participated in social events to raise money for University Hospitals Kingston and was very well known locally for the generous amount

of time he committed. He was also one of the founders of Ribfest, and started PumpGan Fest. He was all for family and the kids in the community.” In honour of his tireless efforts to help the community, the Lions Club will be holding a celebration of life service for him at 1 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 6. In addition, they will hold a memorial fundraiser at GISS from 6-11 p.m. Entitled “Gotcha Covered”, the event will include a silent auction, entertainment by

local bands and a cash bar. Admission is a donation of $20 or more, payable to the Jim Boltin Memorial. All funds raised are to go to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation. “We hope to be able to name a room after him at KGH,” said Peter.

ry to Canada over the Soviet Union in the epic 1972 Summit Series. “That series gripped the entire nation. There was an explosion of joy from coast to coast to coast when Paul Henderson scored that goal,” Runciman noted in a press release. “This was more than just a hockey game to Canadians.” Not only did Henderson score the winning goal in Game 8, but he also scored the winner in games 6 and 7 in Moscow. Canada had to win the final three games to salvage the series. To mark the 40th anniversary of the historic goal, Runciman has launched an online petition on his website – www.bobrunciman. com – to encourage Canadians to have their say on Henderson’s omission from the Hall of Fame. Runciman will submit the results to Hockey Hall of Fame officials. “Those three goals are so important in hockey history, that it is shock-

oversight that must be corrected.” Runciman is writing to the Hall of Fame selection committee suggesting that if Henderson isn’t inducted into the regular players’ category, they should consider creating a special category honouring extraordinary achievements or contributions to the game.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Customer loyalty worth more dollars than repair EMC Lifestyle - Back in June of this year we heard from a Subaru owner with more than a little distress regarding a turbo failure on a 2010 Forester with less than 70,000 km. The tale started out like this: “Hello Brian, I have a car related question for you. We just had a very unpleasant visit to my area Subaru dealer with our 2010 Forester 2.5 XT with 68, 000km. We had the car in for service because it suddenly started to produce this white cloud of smoke intermittently from the exhaust. The problem was diagnosed as a turbo failure and they basically voided our warranty due to less than ideal frequency of oil changes. During replacement of the turbo they discovered a metal ring in the oil pan that they didn’t know what it was or where it came from. In your opinion is this a reasonable assumption that the turbo failed due to lack of oil changes and not from this unidentified metal ring in the oil pan? I will also attach a picture of this ring for you to look at. Can you advise us as to some av-

enues that would be available to us to purse the return of my $800 the dealer charged me for the labour to install this part. We are also concerned that this metal ring should be attached to something on/in the motor that has let go making my engine at risk for future damage. Subaru Canada ‘good willed’ the cost of the turbo. Is this the best I could hope for with a basically new car?” After speaking with Subaru Canada and getting nowhere, I suggested this owner proceed with arbitration through the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). This is a no fee system that allows owners to seek reimbursement for repairs or even a buy-back of the vehicle by the manufacturer when it doesn’t live up to its purpose. There are certain limitations to this program and the details can be found at www.camvap.ca. I recently received this follow-up: “Hello again; I just wanted to give you a follow up from our

arbitration meeting with CAMVAP. The ultimate decision was to favour the manufacturer. The manufacturer didn’t have to provide any scientific proof to back up the claim that a dirty and low level of engine oil was the sole cause of the turbo failure. All that was necessary was the experience of Subaru’s agent. The source or identification of the metal ring was not an issue from the manufacturer’s point of view and beyond the scope of the technical inspection to check out the engine of the SUV. We did get some verbal assurance that this was not a component of the engine and they wouldn’t be worried about it. A couple of things I found interesting is that the manufacturer had three people in attendance (one being flown in). The economics of that decision baffles me over $800 worth of labour? The other question is that sure they won the battle but they lost a customer who will never purchase another Subaru product ever again and will certainly spread this story far and wide. Our plans are to sell this vehicle and buy

another car or SUV. We wanted to thank you very much for all your help throughout this situation.” Our Subaru owner stated they had completed five of the eight oil changes that Subaru said they should have (the owner’s manual recommends oil changes every 6,000 km or 6 months). They purchased the vehicle used from a dealership employee with approximately 25,000 km on it, and accumulated 68,000 km when the turbo failed. So they went 43,000 km making them responsible for only 7 oil changes by my math. I agreed with Subaru’s position that proper maintenance is the key to keeping a turbo in good working order, but if an owner completed 70 per cent of the required services, it’s surprising that turbo failed at such an early mileage. And according to our owner no one from the dealership or Subaru ever dismantled and inspected the turbo to verify if its failure was, indeed, maintenance related. So the obvious question is: if the turbo’s failure was maintenance related why did Subaru pay for the part?

Rules of the road apply to cyclists, too Riding a bicycle is beneﬁcial for many reasons. Not only does riding a bicycle reduce the number of cars on the road, but such an activity is also great exercise. However, when riding bicycles, cyclists must keep in mind that the rules of the road that apply to cars do also extend to bicycles. In many areas of the country, bicycles are subject to the same rules as other two- and fourwheeled vehicles. That includes yielding to pedestrians and obeying signage. Other rules include:

(Subaru stated to me it was a goodwill gesture.) Our reader also raises a good point in highlighting the expense Subaru incurred in this matter. One could argue they were simply defending their principles, but what point did they have if they already paid for the turbo part? An auto customer’s value to a retailer and manufacturer is measured in tens of thousands of dollars of profit over their driving lifetime. But according to this particular owner, Subaru has given that up for $800. If you have any ques-
